Lin Hao clearly led the army to win, and in a battle with certain bets, he won.
When Lin Haoming decided to spare the city of Nanjiang County, or even the county city was directly connected to Fenghu, the defenders in Chu State did not come out, and the imperial guards in the King of Yue did not cross the river, so Lin Haoming and Jiang Heng successfully attacked the Fenghu army.
The Fenghu defenders had the advantage of naval forces, but Lin Haoming used the previous three barbarians to deal with Daxia and built a dam upstream of the Pingjiang River to store water. The surface of Fenghu Lake was far less than that of Anyang Lake. After the water was released, the navigators had no way to sail normally on the lake surface of Fenghu Lake and could only dodge. So Lin Haoming directly commanded the army to kill. After the flood passed, the army north of Yue State also came along the Pingjiang River.
Qu Xiong took away half of the 400,000 elite troops in Chu, and the remaining 200,000 were left, and half remained here, and half were resisting Wei in the west. So once the Chu army was at a disadvantage, the Chu army here was far inferior to Qu Xiong's men. In less than ten days, the Chu army was defeated, and the Chu army began to flee in all directions. Many people even followed the Pingjiang River and crossed the river directly to the south.
After defeating the Chu army, Lin Haoming breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent people to ask the troops blocking Qu Xiong to retreat, and at the same time began to occupy the three counties north of Hengshui and Yue.
The reason why Lin Haoming did this was that he did not want to see his elite troops suffer too much losses. Secondly, Qu Xiong could not die, and Chu State could not die, at least it would have a great effect at the moment.
Originally, Lin Haoming was still wary of Qu Xiong to try to defend Longhai County, but unexpectedly, Qu Xiong gave up directly, and not only gave up, but also took away the Chu army guarding the Dongyi Mountains fortress. In this way, nearly 200,000 troops crossed the Hengshui directly, and then went south of Hengshui toward the King of Chu.
Seeing this, Lin Haoming roughly understood Qu Xiong's meaning. Although it was a bit beyond his expectations, it was also a good thing. So Lin Haoming directly ordered the retreating troops to directly accept Longhai County, and his troops went back to sweep the cities they had spared before. After occupying Fenghu again, Jiang Heng took more than 100,000 troops to occupy Hengyang County. When Lin Haoming was leaving, he also told Jiang Heng to occupy only Hengyang County and not to enter Pingshan County, which was also for future thinking.
When the Yue State's army was dispersed like a bamboo shoot, the three counties north of the Hengshui River of Chu were completely in chaos, and even the defenders of Pingshan County were a little panicked. However, Yue State publicly stated that they would join forces with Wei State to attack Chu. Pingshan County belonged to Wei State. Yue State abides by the alliance and will never interfere with Pingshan County.
As a result, the Chu army in Pingshan County was much more at ease, but it also made Wei a little embarrassed. First, Yue did have such an alliance with Wei, and it was indeed a good thing for Yue to abide by the alliance. On the other hand, such a big publicity was not to allow Chu and Wei to continue to fight head-on.
Now, Lin Haoming naturally ignored what the State of Wei thought, but the army was constantly occupying the land of the three counties of Chu.
Qu Xiong, who was separated from Lin Haoming by Hengshui, led his army to the vicinity of the King of Chu.
The Yue army is just north of Hengshui, facing each other across the water. The entire king is a little panicked. He was thinking about fighting for the throne before, but now the princes were also a little scared. In the early morning, they were all trying to fight for it, but now they were thinking about running south, across Hengshui. Although Hengshui was naturally dangerous, the Chu navy was still not at the defense. What’s even more ridiculous is that half a month ago, they were still scolding Qu Xiong in the court. Now that Qu Xiong was coming with the army, they all regarded Qu Xiong as the savior. Among these people, the fifth prince was naturally the most excited. Although Chu State was defeated, his mother was the daughter of Qu and the cousin of the Grand Marshal Qu Xiong, and he had the most chance.
When Qu Xiong's army arrived, the five princes directly led their own people out of the royal capital to welcome Qu Xiong's army into the city.
At this time, the others seemed to realize something. Qu Xiong brought the army over, which was obviously annoying, and some even began to mobilize their own troops.
At this time, the royal family Xiong clan calmed down. The Xiong clan is now ordering the royal family not to do anything. In his opinion, Xiong Leiting is dead at the moment, and His Majesty is seriously ill again. It is meaningless to go out to fight for it. In the end, no matter who it is, as long as the descendants of the Xiong clan become king, although the mothers are all the three major clans, they are essentially from the Xiong clan.
"Uncle, help me."
When Qu Xiong looked at his nephew running into the military camp with a crying look on his face, he felt helpless. He clearly wanted to be the king, but he was mourning and pitying himself. On the other hand, the Eighth Prince was comforting people's hearts, especially those wounded soldiers who walked slowly, but also gave them some guarantees, which made the soldiers support them more. Although it was also suspected of winning over people's hearts, it was indeed what the king should have.
"How do you want me to help you?" He asked helplessly as his nephew Qu Xiong looked at him.
"Uncle, now the third and the sixth brother teamed up to exclude me, and the morale of the army in the royal capital is unstable, both of them have the idea of ​​not being able to escape disaster. But now my uncle brings a large army and thinks that the king will be able to defend it. I hope my uncle will help me so that as long as I ascend to the position of crown prince, my uncle's military power will not be lost. If they are asked to steal Chu, the Chu State will be destroyed." The fifth prince said with tears.
"Master Marshal, the gate of the capital of the king is closed. We will not let us enter the city, even the wounded will not allow us to enter." At this moment, the personal guard suddenly ran over to report.
"What does this mean? The third and the sixth brother are crazy. The army is not allowed to enter the city?" the fifth prince asked angrily.
"Master Marshal, the city gates are closed, and there are guards at the top of the city, saying that they have been ordered by His Majesty." At this time, the Eighth Prince also walked in.
"This is nonsense. My father had a high fever from last night. And he knew that the Grand Marshal was here, so there was no reason to turn him away. I was still fine before I came out." The fifth prince became even more angry when he heard this.
The Eighth Prince ignored it and just looked at Qu Xiong and waited for his order. But Qu Xiong looked at the two princes at this time and finally asked the Eighth Prince: "What do you think, Your Highness?"
"When the marshal continues to suffer from chaos, the marshal takes the stance of attacking the city, the one who controls the city gates in the royal capital must not be the royal family." The eighth prince said affirmatively.
"Okay, then please ask Your Highness to lead the troops here in person." Qu Xiong also said decisively at this moment.
"Thank you for your trust in the Grand Marshal!" The Eighth Prince gave a deep bow to Qu Xiong, then saw if he had seen the fifth prince and left directly.
"Uncle, is this?" The fifth prince also felt something was wrong at this time.
Qu Xiong looked at him, looked at the Qu family members who were accompanying him and said slowly: "If you still want to survive, stay by my side."
