Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2636 Sun Quan lost the opportunity to defeat Chu, Liu Xiu retreated from the Allied Forces of the Four Kingdoms
Chapter 2632: Sun Quan lost the opportunity to attack Chu Liang, Liu Xiu retreated from the Allied Forces of the Four Nations
Shortly after the truce between the two countries in southern Shu, the Chu army who was blocked outside the Shengjing Pass also chose to retreat. After all, the main purpose of the Chu army's crusade against the Southern Kingdom was to support the Kingdom of Shu. As a result, the Kingdom of Shu did not fight anymore. Then Chu State naturally has no reason to continue to fight with Nan Guo.

In addition, there is another reason for the Chu State to withdraw its troops, that is, the Wu State in the east is too restless.

Sun Quan saw that the main force of the Chu army in Jiaozhou and Guangzhou was marching westward, and the Ruan and Yue countries took the opportunity to invade Jiaozhou. In this case, Guangzhou's troops were also empty, so he planned to take the opportunity to attack Guangzhou.

For this reason, Sun Quan even dispatched the Yizhou navy to contain Chu's Guangzhou navy, in order to prevent the Ruanyue coalition from being defeated too quickly under the combination of the Chu army and water.

Under the containment of the Wu State Navy, the Chu State Navy did not dare to participate in the battle of Jiaozhou, and the pressure of the Ruan-Yue Allied Forces has indeed decreased, right? Coupled with the intervention of Daqin personnel such as Han Shizhong, Kan Ze, and Nongyu, the battle The war has not reached a stalemate.

Everything was as expected by Sun Quan, but when he learned that the Chu army had suffered a lot of casualties and was about to order to send troops to Guangzhou, Liu Xiu also ordered to send more troops to Lujiang and Changsha.

The troops of Jiaoguang and Jiaozhou in the south of Chu State were indeed restrained by the three kingdoms of South Ruanyue and Yue, but most of the troops of Chu State were gathered in the north, and these troops were all new forces that had not yet been mobilized.

Liu Xiu's move is tantamount to telling Sun Quan that if you dare to attack me in the South China Sea, I will send troops from Lujiang and Changsha to attack your two counties of Danyang and Yuzhang in Wu State, as if you want to start a full-scale war with Wu State Stance.

After receiving the news, the high-ranking officials of Wu State sent generals headed by Sun Wu, which can be described as passionate.

Chu State is now fighting on multiple fronts, but it still dares to threaten Wu State in this way, and it doesn't take Wu State seriously at all.

Sun Wu was not afraid of Liu Xiu's threat of war at all. He proposed to join forces with the four countries of southern Qin, Ruan and Yue to jointly attack Chu, and took the initiative to ask for orders to sit on the front line to prevent the Chu army from attacking.

Everyone in the state of Wu clamored to avenge their shame and teach the arrogant Chu state a lesson, but Sun Quan, the king of Wu, was discouraged.

It was Sun Quan who proposed to take advantage of the emptiness to seize Hainan to break the Chu State's three-sided attack, but after Liu Xiu really became tough, he did not dare to confront Liu Xiu head-on.

No matter how Sun Wu and others persuaded, Sun Quan rejected Sun Wu and others' request to send troops on the grounds that the national strength had not yet recovered and it was not appropriate to go to war.

The contrast between Sun Quan's external weakness and internal force is extremely sharp, and this made Sun Wu and many other generals completely disappointed in him. After all, he missed the great opportunity to gang up on Chu State. From now on, Wu State will only I can single out Chu State.

Liu Xiu was secretly relieved when he saw that Sun Quan was intimidated.

Don't look at how tough he is to Wu, but if there is a real war, he has no idea in his heart. After all, if there is a real war, it will be a war with Qin, Wu, Nan, Ruan and Yue at the same time.

With Yang Xiuqing's death in battle and the Jiaozhou War falling into a stalemate, Liu Xiu no longer underestimated the Ruan and Yue countries as before.

Although Chu State is the hegemon in the south of the Yangtze River, if it goes to war with the five countries at the same time, it will inevitably be powerless.

Fortunately, Sun Quan was stupid, just for his own status, knowing that going to war would be more beneficial to Wu, but he still rejected Sun Wu and others' request to go to war.

Sun Wu only thought that Sun Quan was weak, that's why he was intimidated by Chu State, even if he had the upper hand, he would not dare to go to war with Wu State.

But Liu Xiu knew that the deeper reason why Sun Quan didn't dare to go to war was actually that he didn't want Sun Wu to take over the military power.

It's just that if you attack Nanhai County, you don't need to send Sun Wu. Once Chu and Wu go to war, Sun Wu will definitely take over the military power. After all, Sun Wu is the only one in Wu who can resist the Chu army.

Sun Quan relied on killing his father to force his brother to become the king of Wu. Naturally, he was unwilling to let Sun Wu, an uncle who was loyal to his father, take over the military power. After all, if Sun Wu learned the truth about Sun Jian's death, he would definitely support Sun Ce and force him to abdicate.

Therefore, Sun Quan would rather give up this great opportunity than start a full-scale war with Chu.

"Sun Quan, Sun Quan, it's really lucky to have you as a lonely opponent."

Liu Xiu looked at the map of the nine counties in Jiangdong, and said to himself with a smile on his face. After all, if Sun Ce was a staunch man, he would definitely gang up with Qin Nan Ruan Yue to fight Chu State. This is the worst situation.

Wu State did not dare to go to war. Although Liu Xiu was relieved, the predicament that Chu State was facing had not been completely resolved.

Liu Xiu originally planned to mobilize [-] troops to rush to aid Jiaozhou. Even though this move might cause Sun Quan to send troops, he never thought about withdrawing troops from Shengjing Pass.

I have to say that having Liu Xiu as an ally really reassures him. He has never cheated his teammates, but has been cheated and cheated by his teammates many times.

Before Liu Xiu's reinforcements arrived, he did not remember to dispatch them, but he received the news that Liu Yu was about to make a truce with Nanguo.

This time Liu Yu did not cheat Liu Xiu. Even if he unilaterally made a truce with Nanguo, he notified Liu Xiu in advance. After all, Chu State was already his last ally.

Now the Shu Han has lost both the north and the south, which can be said to be a heavy loss. If even Chu, an ally, is dragged down by it and suffered heavy losses, then the Shu Han will really have to fight alone in the future.

After Liu Xiu received the news, he decisively ordered Li Xiucheng and Cao Shen in front of the Shengjing Pass to retreat, and then went south to support the Ma Yuan Army in Jiaozhou. This move directly caused the Allied Forces of the Four Nations to fall apart.

This time Chu State dispatched [-] troops to conquer the Southern Kingdom. Although they captured nearly [-] troops and beheaded the Southern General Shi Gonghu, they also lost a lot of troops in the siege.

After a lot of calculations, the Chu army also lost more than [-] troops, leaving nearly [-] troops in total. This battle can be regarded as a battle with Nanguo.

Li Xiucheng, Cao Can, and Shi Dakai led [-] Chu troops and easily withdrew from Shengjing Pass, but the guard Zhu Rong did not pursue them. After all, the main force of the Chu army was not damaged.

Zhu Rong first passed the news of the withdrawal of the Chu army to Jiaozhou, and then to Kunming. After all, after the [-] Chu troops withdrew from Shengjing Pass, the next destination must be Jiaozhou.

On the Jiaozhou battlefield, with the arrival of Li Shunchen, Huang Xie, Lu Junyi, Tachibana Daoxue and other generals, as well as Dashan Jinjian, the God of War general, and five thousand soldiers from Yingzhou, Han Shizhong finally reversed the situation and won consecutive victories by virtue of his superiority in strength. .

Under the command of Han Shizhong, the Allied Forces of the Four Nations have broken through Wugong City and occupied the entire territory of Jiuzhen County. .

In this battle, Dang Shujian Dashan Jinjian's performance was the most outstanding. He singled out the three major generals Ma Yuan, Ma Wu, and Ma Cheng and even won the battle.

If it weren't for Dashanjin, the Allied Forces of the Four Nations would have to pay 1 more casualties if they wanted to capture these five cities.

After Han Shizhong captured the south of the Honghe River, he immediately started to formulate a battle plan to cross the Honghe River and go straight to the Longbian of Jiaozhi Zhisuo, but at this time he received a summons from Zhu Rong.

After learning that the three famous generals Li Xiucheng, Cao Can, and Shi Dakai were about to lead [-] Chu troops to Jiaozhou, Ruan Fuying, the king of Ruan, and Li Gongyun, the king of Yue, were almost terrified.

From Rinan County, to Jiuzhen County, and then to Jiaozhi County, the strength of the Chu Army has been changing, but no matter how the Chu Army's strength changes, the maximum strength of the Chu Army is only [-].

That is to say, from the Nguyen-Vietnam Allied Forces to the Allied Forces of the Four Nations, without counting casualties, the Allied Forces dispatched more than [-] troops, but their opponents have always been the [-] Chu Army.

It has to be said that the Chu army is still very resilient, quite capable and durable.

Although the coalition forces dispatched a large number of troops, the casualties were also huge. So far, they have lost 5 to [-] people, while the casualties of the Chu army are less than [-].

In the current Jiaozhi County, there are still fifteen thousand Chu troops, entangled with the sixty thousand coalition troops, and are in a stalemate.

When the 5 Chu troops of Li Xiucheng, Cao Can, and Shi Dakai arrive at Jiaozhi, the total strength of the Chu army will soar to [-].

Therefore, after learning that [-] people were about to arrive in Jiaozhi, both Ruan Fuying, the king of Ruan, and Li Gongyun, the king of Yue, were shocked by this huge number.

The combat power of the Chu army is much stronger than that of the coalition army. The coalition army needs to dispatch more than [-] troops to win against a mere [-] Chu army.

Now that the remaining troops of the coalition army are less than 5, how can they be the opponent of the [-] Chu army?
Both Ruan Fuying and Li Gongyun believed that it was no longer a question of whether they could capture Jiaozhou, but that the gap between the Allied Forces of the Four Nations and the Chu Army was too large. If the fight continued, not only would the entire army be wiped out, but the country might also be in danger of subjugation. So they all retreated.

As the leader of the Allied Forces of the Four Kingdoms, Nongyu was very helpless after learning about the thoughts of the second king Ruanyue. Naturally, she was unwilling to retreat like this. After all, there were not many opportunities to kill people without borrowing a knife, but no one spoke lightly, and she This leader is just a mascot.

Although Daqin sent [-] Japanese soldiers from Yingzhou, and Nanguo also sent Chili to bring [-] soldiers from Nanjun, but after several battles, both armies have lost a lot of people.

Now Qin and Nan only accounted for [-]% of the total force of the Four Nations Allied Forces, while Ruan and Yue accounted for ninety percent of the Four Nations Allied Forces.

Since King Ruan and King Yue didn't want to continue the fight, it would be useless for Qin Nan and the two countries to oppose it.

From the moment the two kings of Ruan and Yue retreated, it was doomed that this battle would not go on, but it was still necessary to plan carefully how it would end.

The two kings of Ruan and Yue tended to negotiate with Chu. It is best for the two sides to use the south of Hong as the boundary, and they will not invade each other from then on.

After seeing Ruan Yue's envoy for the peace talks, Ma Yuan immediately showed a triumphant smile. Although he did not win this battle, he still smiled very happily.

Naturally, Ma Yuan has no idea of ​​peace talks, and he can directly push for peace talks as soon as the reinforcements arrive.

But using the peace talks to delay time, and returning to all the cities without even giving a single soldier, Ma Yuan is still willing to do this kind of low-cost and high-return thing.

After the reinforcements arrived, it was not up to him to decide whether to fight or not.

As for breaking promises and breaking the covenant?

Sorry, an uncivilized barbarian country like Ruan Yue is not worthy to talk about this with Chu State. After all, how can people be honest with savages?

During the negotiation, Ma Yuan asked the Ruan and Yue countries to give up all the territory they occupied and compensate Chu for the losses, before agreeing to negotiate peace with Ruan Yue.

However, Ma Yuan's attitude is not tough. After all, the reinforcements have not yet arrived, and the two countries are really in a hurry. It is not worthwhile to fight him.

King Ruan and King Yue were also ready for bloodletting. After all, there must be a price for taking the initiative to seek peace, but after hearing Ma Yuan's conditions, they still couldn't help their veins twitching.

The Ruan and Yue countries dispatched [-] troops this time, and nearly half of them died in the battle before they captured the two counties of Rinan and Jiuzhen.

With one word from Ma Yuan, he wanted them to give up all the captured territory and return to their home country naked. If they all agreed to this, someone would overthrow them and replace them when they returned home.

Fortunately, Chu State's attitude is not tough. If the negotiations continue, the conditions may be suppressed.

Nguyen and Vietnam sent envoys to continue negotiations with Ma Yuan. After several days of verbal confrontation, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

Ruan Yue made the condition of ceding the four counties south of the Red River in exchange for the two sides to stop fighting and make peace, and the two countries will not go to war within five years.

Both parties are very satisfied with this result.

Ma Yuan was satisfied because he delayed the time and recovered four counties without a single soldier.

The second king of Ruanyue was satisfied because the four counties south of the Red River were all located in the Red River Plain, where there was almost no danger to defend.

Once the reinforcements from the Chu State arrive, the Ruan and Yue countries will not be able to hold on at all, so it is better to cede it out as a condition for peace talks.
