Chapter 1641: Five Ways to Attack Qin

After listening to Deng Yu's suggestion, Liu Xiu felt that it was very reasonable. The Chu army had just won Jiaozhou, and its power was not yet stable. It was really not appropriate to send too many troops to fight Qin Yi.

After all, Qin Jun is not an ordinary hard bone, but a tough bone among hard bones.

Liu Xiu and Qin Jun had fought so many times, and none of them took advantage of it, so he cautiously dispatched an army of 15.

After occupying Jiaozhou, the Chu army was indeed able to dispatch 15 troops, but in the end, whether it was winning or losing, the gains outweighed the gains for the Chu army.

Of course, the most important point is that if so many troops are dispatched, it may not be possible to successfully capture Jingbei.

Even if the tooth is pulled out successfully in the end, the Chu army will definitely pay an unbearable price, and will face the Qin army's counterattack in the future.

Therefore, to Liu Xiu, Jingbei is not only a piece of fat, but also a hot potato.

Rather than doing this, it would be better to give up fighting for Jingbei, and instead attack Qin Hao's solid henchman, Huang Zu.

For Liu Xiu, the benefits of winning Jiang Xia are not much worse than those of Jing Bei.

First of all, Jiang Xia's army is weak, so Jiang Xia is better at fighting.

Secondly, after taking down Jiangxia, Chu State will show a tendency to suppress Wu State in terms of overall strategy.

In the end, Liu Xiu won Jiang Xia, and Liu Ji occupied Jingbei. Even if Qin Hao took revenge, he would not look for Liu Xiu, but went back to Liu Ji.

Liu Xiu is going to ask Liu Ji to stand in front of him and act as a barrier between Chu and Qin, so that Chu can grow and develop with peace of mind.

After making up his mind, Liu Xiu responded to Liu Ji's dispatch of troops, but only [-] troops were dispatched, and the attack direction was not Nanjun, but Jiangxia.

Now the national strength of Chu State is 18, and this is not the limit. After Jiaozhou is digested and Baiyue is completely recovered, the national strength will exceed 25.

Liu Xiu had an army of 18, but only sent 13 to attack Qin. The remaining [-] troops consolidated the rear, digested the results of the battle, and conquered Shiyi who had not yet joined.

Liu Xiu personally led an army of [-] to attack Jiangxia in response to Liu Ji's attack on Qin. At the same time, he sent Deng Yu to lead an army of [-] to sit in Jiaozhou, rectify the Taiping army, and guard against Sun Jian in Jiangdong, and sent Cen Peng to lead an army of [-] to conquer Shiyi.

With Deng Yu leading an army of [-] troops in Jiaozhou, it was natural that there would be no danger. Seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage of, Sun Jian took the initiative to withdraw his troops and cease the fighting.

As for Shi Yi who occupies Jiuzhen and Rinan counties, it is not as bad as Liu Xiu said.

Facing the crusade by Cen Peng's [-]-strong army, Shi Yi persisted for half a year, running out of ammunition and food, and finally chose Kaesong to surrender.

------------

Liu Xiu was the first to respond to Liu Ji's sending troops, and sent [-] troops to attack Jiangxia, while Li Shimin was the second to respond.

The situation Li Shimin is now facing is very embarrassing. Neither Yizhou nor Liangzhou is suitable for attacking. The only direction of expansion is Qin in the east. However, Qin is too powerful, and Tang is no opponent at all alone.

Therefore, when Liu Ji's appeal against Qin came, Li Shimin agreed without much thought, because this might be Li Tang's only chance to take back Sizhou.

Li Shimin's attack on Qin was different from that of Liu Xiu. The Tang State occupied Yongzhou, Hanzhong, and Liangzhou, as well as two hundred miles of Qiang land, most of which were wealthy lands, so Li Tang's total army strength reached 23.

Of course, there are not a few troops who need to stay behind in various places in Li and Tang. In order to occupy Sizhou in one fell swoop this time, Li Shimin directly dispatched 15 troops, and the troops were divided into two groups to attack Qin.

The whole line was led by Li Shimin himself, with a total of [-] troops, starting from Wuguan and Hanzhong to attack Nanxiang and Nanyang counties. If the two counties were successfully captured, they would continue to attack Guangchengguan from south to north.

Another route led by Yang Jian, with a total of [-] troops, left Tongguan and attacked Hangu Pass.

This time Li Shimin's approach can be described as menacing, as if he would not give up if he did not take back Sizhou.

After Tang Wang Li Shimin, the three princes of Liangzhou followed Liu Ji's call: Yang Guang, Ma Teng and Han Sui.

Yang Guang responded that the reason for sending troops was to avenge his father. He had already found out that his father, Yang Jian, was not killed by Li Shimin, but someone planted a frame and blamed him, with the intention of causing the Sui and Tang Liang troops to kill each other.

At that time, Yang Guang only wanted revenge and didn't listen to other things at all, but after calming down afterwards, he still found many problems.

At that time, Yang Guang's army had already surrounded Chang'an, and Li Shimin had just succeeded in the coup, and his control over Chang'an was not stable.

With Li Shimin's wisdom, it is naturally impossible not to know that killing Yang Jian will only anger Yang Guang completely, so the best way should be to capture him alive to force Yang Guang to retreat.

It is impossible for Li Shimin to kill Yang Jian at such a critical moment, but Yang Jian died in the end, which made Yang Guang instinctively feel that there is a conspiracy.

Although Dugu Qiubai's handling was fairly clean, it was not flawless. Yang Guang had deliberately investigated for so many years, and it was normal to find something, but there was no conclusive evidence, so he could only reason with logic.

Given the situation at that time, if Yang Guang and Li Shimin fought each other, who would benefit the most?The answer is naturally Qin Hao.

Thinking of this, Yang Guang also realized that he might have been used by Qin Hao, so he joined the Southern Han camp later.

This time, seeing Liu Ji forming a team to deal with Qin Hao, after careful consideration, Yang Guang felt that this was a good opportunity for revenge, so he decided to unite with the Ma and Han families to send troops to merge the state.

Although Ma Teng was born as a bandit, he was a loyal Han faction. He believed that Qin Hao was coercing the emperor to command the princes, and Liu Bian of Yizhou was the orthodox Han, so he responded to Liu Ji and sent troops to attack Qin.

As for Han Sui, he was completely coerced by Yang Guang and Ma Teng. After all, two of the three major princes of Liangzhou participated in it. Could Han Sui not come?
Although Yang Guang, Ma Teng, and Han Sui sent troops together, they still checked and balanced each other, so even if the three joined forces, they only dispatched [-] troops to attack the three counties of Hetao in Qin State.

Liu Ji in Chengdu chose to invite Liu Yu to send troops together, but Liu Yu resolutely refused.

Liu Yu's territory does not border Jingzhou. Even if he established a territory in Jingbei, it would be just an enclave. Liu Yu is not stupid, so of course it is impossible to do something thankless.

Liu Yu's lack of cooperation made Liu Ji very angry, thinking that Liu Yu really didn't know how to flatter him, so he wanted to use this to beat him up.

But Liu Ji thought about it, if he forced Liu Yu too much at this time, if he was forced to Qin Hao's side, the gain would not be worth the loss, so he temporarily suppressed his plan to beat Liu Yu, and decided to wait for the victory to return to the army Then clean up Liu Yu.

Bashu, the land of abundance, is already densely populated and rich, and Liu Ji occupies more than half of the elite areas in Yizhou, so the total strength of the Shu Kingdom is as high as 25.

Because he had to guard against Chi You and Liu Yu, Liu Ji naturally couldn't move his troops recklessly, and finally decided to lead an army of 15 to attack Nanjun.

At this point, the Allied Army to Conquer Qin was formally established:
On the first road, Liu Ji, king of Shu, sent 15 troops to attack Nanjun from Bajun.

On the second route, Liu Xiu, king of Chu, sent [-] troops to attack Jiangxia Huangzu from Changsha.

On the third and fourth routes, Tang Wang Li Shimin sent 15 troops and [-] troops along the way to attack Dawu Township County from Hanzhong and Wuguan.Another route of [-] troops attacked Hangu Pass from Tongguan.

On the fifth route, the coalition forces of Yang, Ma and South Korea in Liangzhou sent [-] troops to attack Hetao from Liangzhou.

The six princes dispatched a total of 45 troops to attack the Qin State in five ways. For a while, the world was shaken, and the government and the public were shaken.
