When Li Huaiyuan learned that the Chu army's navy could still gain the upper hand on the Huaihe line, blocking the Qi army from crossing Dongting Lake, and attacking the Xuzhou flanks on the Baima Lake line, Li Huaiyuan's eyes lit up.
"Then are these Chu navy still there now?" Li Huaiyuan asked urgently. The reason for asking this was because the Chu army joined forces with various princes to attack the Qi army, and even the Chu army seized the Qi army's four northern regions in Yangzhou.
However, at the end of the battle, all the princes gained benefits, and the Chu army fought fiercely in Yangzhou alone.
Yangzhou is an important place for the Qi army. How could the King of Qi let the Chu army take it away? Therefore, the King of Qi ignored the loss of Jiaozhou, Jiangzhou and even Jingzhou, and fought with the Chu army in the north of Yangzhou. The Chu army was naturally not a rival to the Qi army, so
, finally retreated to Xuzhou. In this battle, the Chu army won first and then lost, and suffered a lot of losses. If it weren't for the threat of Zhao State in the north and the threat of Shu State in the west, the King of Qi and the Chu army would have ceased to be in war with the Chu army now
The land of Xuzhou is already under the jurisdiction of the King of Qi.
The Chu army was later defeated and Li Huaiyuan was also worried that these navy troops would not be able to save them. Although these navy troops were far behind the navy and navy of Zhao, they could withstand the front lines of Xuzhou and Yangzhou.
The Qi army crossed the Huaihe River defense line and raided the Xuzhou area. After all, occupying the river channel is much better than passing defense.[
Li Fanglin said in a deep voice: "It's still here, but because of the ceasefire with the Chu army, these navy troops cannot play a big role, so they have not received much attention."
Li Huaiyuan laughed and said, "It's still here, this is really great. Li Fanglin, I will give you my personal information. This time you go to the Dongting Lake Naval Division Camp and persuade me to surrender to me. What? In addition, tell them, if you want
When surrender, our Zhao army will naturally not despise them, but if we refuse to surrender, our Great Zhao naval army will definitely wipe them out in the future."
Li Fanglin smiled and said, "Don't worry, these navy soldiers dare not regard the existence of Zhao State. They are not unaware of the treatment of Zhao State for their soldiers, and they have long been envious of them. Especially after the navy was not valued.
They were even more reluctant to continue to serve Li Chi. However, they had made great efforts to attack the Qi army in the past, and they might be settled by King Qiu of Qi. Otherwise, they were afraid that many of them would have been unable to escape from Qi in Yangzhou.
It's country."
Li Huaiyuan nodded and said, "It's so good, I'll leave this matter to you."
If these navy troops are in terms of strength, they are indeed nothing to the Zhao army, but the boundaries of Xuzhou can become an obstacle for the Qi army to go north to Xuzhou. When Xuzhou was occupied by Zhao army and Zhao army, the Zhao army naval fleet was in Xuzhou
After the eastern waters were stationed, a protective net connected by the navy and the navy was formed between the entire Qi State and Xuzhou.
Although these navy and navy alone cannot fully defend the Qi army, if they have them, they can put the Zhao army in Xuzhou at the upper hand and monitor the river channel just in case. In addition, Li Huaiyuan did not want the south to
How could the Qi army take advantage of the chaos of the Chu army? How could the Qi army be "inserted" Xuzhou? King Qi was concerned about Zhao State's "inserted" and would not easily explore his strength into Xuzhou. However, the river channel did not have a clear ownership.
There is no clear ownership of Hongze Lake and Baima Lake in a radius of hundreds of miles. In addition, Li Huaiyuan did not want the Chu army's navy to be taken away by the King of Qi because of the chaos in the Chu army.
After arranging the return of the navy, Li Huaiyuan immediately wrote a report to the King Zhao of Luoyang, discussing the situation in Xuzhou, requesting that taxes be exempted and the government provide livestock for the people. Then, he ordered the three armies to speed up their actions.
Whether any local officials have arrived, first surrender the Chu army in these places to avoid chaos and chaos.
The Chu army was originally no match for the Zhao army. In terms of comprehensive strength, in terms of military strength, the soldiers recruited by Li Chixin and those who were dismissed by him several months ago and were summoned again were only comparable to those under Li Huaiyuan's command.
The Zhao army was very morale and sharply equipped with weapons, but the Chu army had the advantage of defending the city. Generally speaking, the two sides were equal.
But now, King Li Chi of Chu was beheaded by Li Zhe and Li Fangzong, and the central officials obeyed Li Zhe and others and formally surrendered to Zhao. In this way, Li Zhe and others, as well as civil servants in various parts of Xuzhou such as Li Fangzong, were willing to surrender to Zhao, plus those
He was unwilling to continue to fight with the Zhao army like a death sentence. Most of the entire Chu army surrendered directly. It can be said that the various cities in Xuzhou were promulgated wherever the Zhao army went.
No matter which prince in the south is, he is paying more attention to the Chu army in Xuzhou at this moment. What is the reason? In addition to the princes in the south, he needs the Chu army to fight with the Zhao army once, so as to delay the strength of the Zhao army and let them look north, rather than
Nangu. Even many princes were ready to contribute to the Chu army. However, among them, except for the King of Qi, the rest were not connected with the Chu army, so they could only support them spiritually.
However, the situation of the Chu army in Xuzhou surprised all the princes. In the territory of the Chu army and in Xuzhou, whether it was the King of Qi, Shu, or Luoyang and Hanzhong, they all had many detailed works here.
Especially the prelude to the great war between Zhao and Chu for the first time, the detailed works of various princes sneaked here.
Although Zhao Chu did not fight for the first time, he used his great momentum to conceal the Zhao State's raid on Dong Yongzhou. However, the spies of the princes did not leave. Instead, it was because of the early rise between Zhao Chu this time, which doubled the details of these works.
Pay attention. The last time I was fooled by Zhao State, these little leaders were not feeling good. Many leaders were stepping on the head of the previous one. Therefore, in order not to throw their heads away, they only
Be careful and careful.
Therefore, when the Zhao army was approaching the border of the Chu army, these detailed actions did not dare to make a decision easily, nor did they report some information that was not clearly determined. Until the Chu army was in chaos, the Zhao army rushed into Xuzhou.
, when the Chu army in Xuzhou began to conquer Xuzhou, when the city walls in Xuzhou began to change the king's flag, they already understood that this time, the Zhao army really began to attack the Chu army.
When the leaders of various princes sent the information back to Xuzhou, the King of Chu was dead, Pengcheng and its surrounding cities had been controlled by rebels, and they had already taken Ming flags to surrender to Zhao. The cities in Xuzhou were also in trouble with internal and external affairs.
In the middle, he surrendered to the Zhao army. So when the princes learned the information, Xuzhou had already surrendered to Zhao on the surface, and the Chu army in various places was forced to surrender continuously by the Zhao army.
The war is about soldiers, horses, money and food. The ruling system like them is complete, local governments do not support it, the center does not support it, and there is no money and food. How can the leading generals in various places fight? How can they resist? Even the King of Chu dies,
Without a ruler, who will they serve? Even if some people have ambitions, how can they withstand the general trend?
After learning about the situation in Xuzhou, all the princes beat their chests and stamped their feet, and cursed them secretly. They scolded the Chu army for being able to do it, and the Zhao army for being lucky. In addition, they scolded the local fine works too stupid. Others did not understand, these princes and princes
The ministers under their command all understood that Li Zhe could kill Li Chi and control the garrisons around Pengcheng. It would be strange if there was no Zhao army's participation. However, their subordinates could not find out, and they did not try to "intervene"
'Work period.
Whether it is cursing the rebellion of the Chu army or cursing the Zhao army to take advantage of the situation, these princes are definitely not considering the Chu army. They just hope that the Chu army can fight with the Zhao army, and the more fierce the battle, the better the battle time.
The longer the better. They hoped that the Chu army would delay more Zhao's troops and delay more time. Unfortunately, things were not as they expected. The only person who was a little happy was King Situ Fei of Hanzhong, of course,
At that time, I am a little happy, or at that time, I am just lucky. The Zhao army and the Chu army really fought a big battle, which means that the Zhao army would not go to war with the coalition forces in the north of Jing, nor would they use the guise of the Chu army to attack the Chu army.
In the name of the raid of Xiyongzhou.
Of course, this was just a little bit of comfort. Both him and his soldiers knew that the Chu rebels caused the Chu army to surrender too quickly and be defeated too quickly, so fast that the princes did not have time to reach into the hands of the princes
In Xuzhou, there was no time to help King Li Chi of Chu. When the Zhao army gained a foothold in Xuzhou, the Zhao army would definitely go south. The only difference was that it was time to go sooner or later. If you don’t come now, you won’t never come. But even if you don’t come, you won’t come.
Knowing the actual situation, Situ Fei could only comfort himself in this way.
In addition, what made King Situ Fei of Hanzhong secretly sneer was that if the Chu army was gone, the Qi army would be the neighbor of Zhao. The Zhao army would no longer have threats on the flanks of the north, so if they go south again, they will definitely be stronger. At that time, this theory is
The King of Qi and King of Shu had to participate in the war. Then, the importance of Hanzhong and Luoyang over Qi and King of Shu increased greatly, and they did not dare to easily regard their existence. After all, if the King of Hanzhong and King of Luoyang turned to Zhao
They are really going to be finished.[
The Qi army is closest to the Chu army and is adjacent to each other. The Chu army was defeated by the Zhao army and Xuzhou was occupied by the Zhao army. Who was the most damaged? Of course, the Qi army was headed. Originally, the neighbors of the Qi army were weak.
The Chu army. Now, the neighbor of the Qi army is the powerful Zhao State. No matter who it is, I don’t want to lie beside me with a tiger always lying on my side. The original little rabbit turned into a tiger, and the King of Qi was depressed, so don’t mention it
It's right.
"See it! I'm about to belong to Zhao State to the north. Our east sea area is also dominated by Zhao State Navy. In the south, there is also the power of Zhao Army. In the west, it is slightly better, it is the territory of Situ Che's three brothers.
.But, no matter what, our Qi State is now surrounded by three sides of Zhao State. If I had known this, I should have tried my best to defeat the Chu army and wipe out the land of Xuzhou. Although at that time
It is already against Zhao State, but at least there is an extra wall to the north of us. It can be restricted..." King Murong Cheng of Qi roared in a angrily voice.
When the Chu army raided the Qi army. After the Qi army gathered a large number of troops, they defeated and occupied the four northern prefectures of Yangzhou. Murong was willing to take advantage of the situation and take down the entire Xuzhou. However, many ministers suggested that
Leave Xuzhou and leave the Chu army. First, if the Chu army fights to the death, the Qi army will have to pay a considerable price to take it down. Second, if the Chu army and leave Xuzhou, then
A periphery line of defense between the Zhao army and himself. Third, the King of Hanzhong and Luoyang happened to defeat the Tang army and occupy Jingzhou, and the Tang army gave a prosperous palace. This place can be used as the gateway to Jiangzhou.
No, so Murong Cheng decided to let Chu Jun go once after considering it.
But who would have thought that the Chu army, which had fought with the Qi army for a year, changed its appearance overnight. Not only did the Chu army collapse itself, but Xuzhou also looked so easy
Falling into Zhao Jun's arms, how can this not make Murong Cheng's atmosphere? How can it not make him jealous?
Of course, for Murong Cheng, the most serious thing now is that the Chu army surrendered to Zhao and Xuzhou was occupied by Zhao's army. Then, the Qi army would be neighbors with Zhao, which made Murong Cheng tremble in his heart.
Faced with Murong Cheng's anger, Zhang Tu and other important officials under Murong Cheng could only bear it silently. Although it was of extraordinary significance to keep the Chu army and Xuzhou at the beginning. However, the Chu army was defeated so quickly,
Xuzhou was about to fall into the hands of Zhao State easily, and they dared to regret what they did. If they knew the situation today, it would be better to destroy the Chu army and occupy Xuzhou in one breath.
"The king, the minister, and others make mistakes. Now it is urgent to actively respond. The Chu army was defeated and the Zhao army occupied Xuzhou. This is a fact that the law has changed." Zhang Tu saw that Murong Cheng was still calculating about the original affairs, and
He did not pay attention to the current situation and immediately said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Murong Cheng also tightened the city every day. As he grew older, Murong Cheng's agitated habits had changed a lot. This time he got angry was also because Xuzhou was killed by Zhao as the Chu army was destroyed.
The army's capture and the rapid changes in the situation in which the Qi army was located were caused. With Zhang Tu's words, Murong Cheng immediately suppressed the anger in his heart and began to consider the situation in front of him.
"The King of Chu is dead, and the defeat of the Chu army has become a foregone conclusion. The current Chu army center is controlled by Li Zhe and Li Fangzong. They have already taken the banner of surrendering Zhao. How to "intervene"? Li Zhe and others cooperate with Zhao army.
He has won the support of most of Xuzhou's troops. Even the land of Xuzhou has already fallen into the hands of Zhao. If this continues, Xuzhou will fall into the hands of Zhao's army in less than ten days, even if we do it.
Tongtian also changes forcefully." Murong Cheng rubbed his eyebrows and said in a muffled voice.
Zhang Tu also had a slightly sad face at the moment and said, "Your Majesty, we can no longer "interfere" the situation of the Chu army and Xuzhou. Therefore, the fact that Zhao occupied Xuzhou has been changed by force."
"Then what else is there to say about the war in Xuzhou? After all, we can't just get involved in the situation in Xuzhou." Murong Cheng said angrily.
Zhang Tu said: "We have no way to 'insert' Xuzhou, but we can guard against the actions of Zhao army to take over Xuzhou. In the north of our Yangzhou, between Xuzhou, Hongze Lake and Baima Lake had our inland river water in the past.
The division is stationed here to defend Yangzhou and guard against Xuzhou."
"It's just that later, the Chu army raided, and the navy lost a lot, and some soldiers surrendered to the Chu army. According to our detailed investigation, the King of Chu did not pay much attention to them after their defeat in Hong
Inland River Naval Division on the Zehu Line. We are naturally not afraid of these naval divisions in the hands of the Chu army. However, if they fall into the hands of the Zhao army, judging from the Zhao army's control over the naval army, it will definitely be very important for us in Yangzhou.
Bad effects.”
"So, we have to send people to win over this navy and use it for our own use. With the navy, although we cannot change the situation in Xuzhou, we have a certain advantage in defense. And we are Yangzhou
In this place, excellent naval soldiers can be recruited, and the navy can be expanded in the future. It can also block the Huaihe line, so that the northern Zhao army cannot easily move south from Xuzhou."
Zhong Yan and several advisers also agreed, believing that this plan was feasible.
When the Chu army went south to Yangzhou and captured the four prefectures in northern Yangzhou, it not only caused heavy losses to Yangzhou, but also the navy with Baima Lake in the north of Yangzhou was also attacked by the Chu army in one fell swoop, and it has not been rebuilt since then. Of course, this is also
It’s not that the Qi army has no strength to rebuild. It’s because the Qi army’s finances were exhausted and there were many places that needed money. In the north of Yangzhou, there was the down-and-out Chu army. Murong Cheng and others believed that the Chu army would not do anything at all, nor did they
They dared to go south easily. Therefore, they temporarily suspended the construction of the navy here and used their property in other places first. But now that the Zhao army is about to occupy Xuzhou, they cannot ignore the defense issues of Yangzhou.
Murong Cheng is not a fool, so he naturally understands the powerful relationship, but he still frowned and said, "The Zhao army has attacked Xuzhou. Although Li Huaiyuan is not familiar with water wars, he should also understand the importance of the navy, so he must be
If these navy troops are not spared, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not win over them now. These navy troops invaded Yangzhou in the past, but they were afraid that these soldiers would also worry that we would settle the accounts in the future and would not easily surrender to us."
Zhang Tu said in a deep voice: "The king is very concerned, but now the primary purpose of the Zhao army is to take Xuzhou, recruit the Chu army and settle the place. As for the Chu army naval army, I am afraid that Li Huaiyuan will not care about it for a while.
As for the issues that these Chu army naval soldiers are worried about, as long as the king speaks, they will naturally not have any concerns. In addition, we also know that these naval troops have a poor status under the rule of the Chu army. Now within the Chu army
"Chao", the various armies of the Chu army were in chaos. When the Zhao army did not arrive in front of these armies, these armies, local governments and other armies were invincible. These navy soldiers should also be
Consider your own future. Money, status, as long as they like, we can give it, and as long as they turn to us, we will have a little more safety."
"What the Zuo Cheng said is very much, just do what you said. I will hand over this matter to you. You will immediately send someone to negotiate with the navy of the Chu army. As long as they are willing to surrender to me, all the past,
In the past, high officials and generous salaries can also be given to you." At this moment, Murong Cheng also knew that things were urgent and there should be no stingy. As long as he could gain the upper hand in confrontation with the Zhao army, some hatred and some money would not be considered
