The Vietnamese army killed the King of Chu. Huangfu Nianfeng wanted to take King Chu's body back home to ask for credit, but Zhang Yankun stopped him.
Zhang Yankun was assigned by King Wuyou to lead a team of troops out of the city where he was stationed and watched the battle from a distance. King Wuyou told him: If the King of Chu escapes back to the Chu Kingdom, he can only send troops to intercept it, but not to start a war.
, just wait for the Yue army to chase and kill; the Yue army kills the King of Chu, so there is no need to stop it. But if the Yue army wants to capture the King of Chu alive, they will send out troops to attack. The Vietnamese army will definitely kill the King of Chu, and then seize the body of the King of Chu and return it to him.
Chu State.
Huangfu Nianfeng saw that the King of Chu was dead and the Qi army was well prepared, so he had no choice but to abandon the body of the King of Chu, beheaded several generals of the Chu army, and escorted the captured Chu army back to victory.
Zhang Yankun also sent the body of King Chu to the border of Chu State, where the Chu State defenders met the body of King Chu State.
When the bad news was reported to Shacheng, the Chu prince Chu Yu burst into tears after hearing the news, and the whole court was sad. Dongfang Yin advised the prince not to be sad. Firstly, he wanted to take back the body of King Chu as soon as possible and bury it; secondly, the prince ascended the throne to calm the hearts of the people of Chu;
The third is to form an alliance with the State of Qi and obtain the blessing of the State of Qi. Only in this way can the country of Chu be stabilized and its neighbors will not only look down upon Xu.
Chu Yu had no master, so he relied entirely on Dongfang Yin's arrangements. He handed over to Dongfang Yin to handle the military and state affairs of the DPRK and China for the time being, and he had to keep his filial piety for the King of Chu. Dongfang Yin and the ministers strongly advocated that the new king should ascend the throne as soon as possible and form an alliance with the Qi State. The former king will return to heaven.
The spirit of the emperor did not want the new king to miss the great events of the Chu Kingdom due to his personal grief. Chu Yu therefore followed the advice of the ministers and chose a day to ascend the throne.
When the new king of Chu came to the throne, the first thing he did was to submit a letter of credence to Qi, requesting to form an alliance with Qi and become an ally of Qi. Chu was willing to use the new king's title of Crescent Princess to make peace with Prince Shun's son. King Qi
After discussing with King Shun and the Ping Dynasty, they agreed to Chu's request and formed an alliance with Chu. After the prince's marriage, Qi Lu, the son of King Shun, married Princess Xinyue of Chu.
During the Southern Expedition, Qi State first captured four cities of Chu State, and Prince Qi Yi led an army of 100,000 to defend the four cities; he also occupied two cities of Yue State, and General Zhang Yankun served as a garrison; King Wuyou was stationed in Dali State
The prince assisted in occupying three hundred miles of new territory, and Zilong led 10,000 Qingzhou soldiers to assist. Wu and Dali were married to Qi, and Chu formed an alliance with Qi. Qi had established a firm foothold in southern China.
Prince Qi Yi replied to the King of Qi that after Xin City and other four cities were stabilized, he would return to Lu City and welcome Princess Yingping of Wu to Qi to get married. The time was set for early autumn. Qi and Wu were busy with their work.
This is a big deal.
King Wuyou and Prince Duan Kejian of Dali chose Liucheng as the seat of the government office to manage the territory. At the same time, they actively connected with Zhang Yankun's garrison. Zilong also borrowed Hecheng from Yue State on the grounds of garrisoning the army. The two armies echoed each other.
On this day, King Wuyou and Prince Duan were in the government office. When they talked about sending Princess Yinping to Dali, the Kingdom of Shu colluded with the Kingdom of Chu to bring the Chu army into the country, robbed and killed the princess, and almost injured her. Prince Duan was furious and hated it. Wuyou
King You said: "Now, the territory we occupy in Yue has been basically pacified. The country of Yue was conquered by our four kingdoms and fought with Chu. Its vitality has been greatly damaged, so there is nothing to fear. The army of Chu has been wiped out, and a new king has been established.
There is no need to worry about forming an alliance with the Qi State. The Shu State has invaded and occupied the land of Dali in the past. It is better to take advantage of the new victory of the Dali army and high morale to find an excuse to take back all the land that the Shu State invaded and occupied in Dali.
!”
When Prince Duan heard this, he thought it was exactly what he wanted. The two came to an agreement and secretly wrote a memorial and reported it to the King of Dali. The King of Dali also agreed to send 30,000 troops from the territory of Dali to the border of Shu for support.
With the permission of the King of Dali, Prince Duan and King Wuyou gathered 30,000 Dali troops from their territory. Zhang Yankun also sent 10,000 elite troops, under the command of Zilong, and marched towards the border of Shu. Prince Qi Yi obtained the letter from King Wuyou and also came from
Xincheng sent troops to advance to the border of Shu, echoing the Dali army.
After finding out the news on the border of the Shu Kingdom, they quickly reported back to the King of Shu. The King of Shu was also secretly frightened after hearing this. The Qi army had recently defeated Chu and Yue in a row, and its momentum was strong. With the help of Qi, Dali also occupied a lot of territory of the Yue.
Now the prince of Dali wanted to avenge the princess of Qi who had been repeatedly attacked when she passed through Shu. The three armies of Dali and Qi overwhelmed the southern and eastern borders of Shu.
The King of Shu hurriedly summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures, and one minister suggested: At this time, all the southern countries were led by the State of Qi, and Dali used troops under the guise of Princess Qi being frightened. It is better to send envoys to the State of Qi to borrow the crown prince and Princess Wu.
On the occasion of the upcoming marriage, a state gift was given, and the King of Qi persuaded Dali to stop the army.
The King of Shu thought that this plan was feasible. On the one hand, he prepared state gifts and arranged for envoys to go to Qi. On the other hand, he sent a message to the defenders of Shu in the south not to conflict with the Dali army and the Qi army, and to temporarily avoid their front when provoked. The defenders in the east
The army must defend tightly and send additional defenders to deter the Qi army, but do not conflict with the Qi army.
King Wuyou already knew the arrangements of the Shu Kingdom in the military camp, so he made a plan to Prince Duan. He should try his best to provoke a war before the King of Qi's order was issued, regain the territory of the Shu Kingdom wedged into Dali, and drive the Shu army out of the above places.
.
The Dali army has been active on the border of Yunnan and Shu, often attacking the Shu army. After receiving military orders, the Shu army was harassed by the Dali and Qi troops and temporarily avoided their front, so they retreated one after another. The Dali army pressed forward step by step, and even pushed the Shu army.
All the territory in Dali that the country had occupied earlier was returned to Dali. King Wuyou looked around and then entered Yicheng, which was close to Shu. The Shu army was waiting in Yicheng with tens of thousands of soldiers. It was time for the envoys of Shu to arrive in Qi.
He and Prince Duan stopped their offensive, stabilized the territory they occupied, and strengthened border defenses.
The King of Qi met with the envoys of the Shu State in Lu City. The envoys of the Shu State presented a large number of rare treasures as gifts to the prince. Speaking of the time when Princess Yinping passed through the border, the Chu State sent assassins pretending to be Shu troops to sneak attack.
The Shu army did not know this, but fortunately, a group of Shu troops from Lucheng passed by and assisted the Qi army escorting the princess, wiping out the Chu army. Therefore, I sincerely ask the King of Qi to forgive me, and Shu and Qi will always be on good terms.
The King of Qi did not pursue the matter, but only talked about some exchanges between the two countries.
Seeing that the King of Qi had no intention of blaming him, the envoys of the Shu Kingdom hurriedly told the King of Qi about the invasion of Shu by the Dali army under the command of King Wuyou and Prince Duan, and begged the King of Qi to mediate and let the Dali army stop.
King Qi deliberately pretended not to know, pondered for a moment, and asked King Ping: "Is this true?"
Prince Ping looked at the head of the Ministry of War below, and then replied: "This matter was probably done by the Dali Kingdom. I think the prince was also newly married to Princess Yinping. The princess was not willing to be frightened, so he sent troops. I have never been able to win."
News about the mobilization of the Daqi army." The boss of course quickly agreed.
The King of Qi said to the envoy: "The countries in China are at war with each other. The war between Chu and Yue has just subsided not long ago. The people everywhere are suffering. I really can't bear to see you Shu and Dali fighting again. King Ping, I see
Let's do this. You can come forward and tell King Dali that even if there are some faults in the Shu Kingdom that are not well protected, the Shu Kingdom will not investigate them. It is not intentional and the screen will be frightened. If the Shu Kingdom sincerely apologizes and does something
Compensation, don’t worry about it anymore.”
King Ping handed over his hand to accept the decree, then looked at the envoy and asked: "King Qi's decree has been issued. I will inform King Dali immediately, but I don't know how sincere Shu will be to Dali."
When the envoy was asked, he was at a loss for words. He was a clever man and immediately stepped forward and said: "The King of Shu has prepared a generous gift, and he has probably sent someone to Dali by now."
King Qi nodded, and King Ping stopped asking further questions, saying that he would convey King Qi's decree to Dali immediately after going to court.
The envoys of the Kingdom of Shu left the palace of Qi and quickly sent a letter to the King of Shu. After receiving the letter, the King of Shu could only follow the wishes of the King of Qi and arranged for another envoy to bring heavy gifts, saying that it was for Prince Dali.
A complementary gift for the newlyweds. As for the territory that was recaptured by Dali this time, let’s not mention it for the time being.
After this chaotic war, all countries have strengthened their defenses and stabilized the domestic situation. It calmed down for a while, but all countries know that after this brief calm, there will be a new bloody storm.
King Wuyou lived in Dali for a while and took Ying'er to travel around Dali. Seeing that Zilong and Zhang Yankun's armies were also connected in Hecheng and Yuedi, and firmly controlled the three cities, he discussed with the prince.
, let Zhang Yankun command the Qi armies in the three places, and Zilong transferred the defense to Xincheng, succeeded the prince, and commanded the Qi armies in the four places. The prince returned to Lucheng after completing the military affairs, while King Wuyou went to Lincheng to guard the territory.
The King of Qi agreed to the report of the two men. King Wuyou received the King of Qi's order, said goodbye to Prince Duan, and took the guard, accompanied by Zilong, from the Kingdom of Shu to Lincheng.
When they arrived at Yicheng, the Shu army in Yicheng knew about it. They reported to the King of Shu and arranged a reception outside the city. The meaning of the defending generals was very simple. They did not dare to refuse King Wuyou and his entourage, but they also did not dare to let King Wuyou
They entered the city. King Wuyou and his party accepted the courtesy of the defenders, walked around the city, and headed for Lu City.
When the guard general of Lu City got the news at this time, he hurriedly sent his confidants to discuss it, and naturally there was a new person among the confidants: Tang Jinhu. Tang Jinhu gave Lu City guard Ximen Li a cart full of gold and silver, so Ximen Li naturally
So he treated him differently. A few days ago, the King of Shu asked about Tang Jinhu's sniper killing of the Chu assassins, and praised him greatly. The defender of Lucheng looked at Tang Jinhu again. This time he heard that there was no
When King You passed by, he looked eagerly at Tang Jinhu and asked him to make an idea.
Tang Jinhu also vaguely knew at this time that the young master who gave him a bright future was King Wuyou. Regarding this benefactor, when Tang Jinhu heard that he was coming to his side, he was naturally excited. When his boss asked about it, he shouted loudly
He replied: "Now that the Qi State is powerful, Your Majesty has also sent envoys to make good relations with the Qi State. We have a low official position and cannot see the King of Qi, but King Wuyou is right in front of us, so we can miss the good opportunity. I have already found out that there is no chance.
King You only brought a few hundred guards. We in Lucheng have tens of thousands of defenders. We don’t have to worry about them. Just treat them well. When the time comes, he will have time to say a word for the general in front of His Majesty, and then you will rise to the top."
Ximen Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and ordered Lucheng to get ready. He led a group of generals thirty miles out of the city to meet King Wuyou.
King Wuyou was welcomed into the city by the defenders of Lu City from a distance. Tang Jinhu saw that he was indeed his benefactor. Everyone could see the joy on his face. King Wuyou naturally praised him greatly.
, this made Ximen Li secretly excited. Thinking about the relationship with Tang Xiaowei in the future, he also established relationships with the princes and nobles of Qi. Everyone also saw the world-famous General Zilong, who was indeed heroic.
, those who served in the army also respected heroes, and all the generals also expressed their friendship with Zilong.
King Wuyou was warmly entertained by the generals in Lu City and stayed for a few days. During this period, Zilong led a group of people directly to Xincheng. King Wuyou was chatting with Ximen Li and others that day, talking about the various cities in Shu.
The guard general said to Ximen Li: "When I passed Yicheng, the guard general was frightened by hundreds of people like me and did not dare to invite me into the city. Such cowardly people guarded a city. How could the king of Shu
Don't worry! I think General Tang is very courageous and talented. If I go to Qingcheng and meet your princes and ministers in Shu, I will recommend him to see if your Shu uses military generals or prefers to obey ministers."
