I am a nobleman in Spring and Autumn

Chapter 425 The princes misled me! (seeking subscription)
Zhiyao made two-handed preparations.

First of all, another envoy from the Yuan Kingdom went to the princes to ask Chu Junzhang if he wanted to withdraw his troops tonight.

Then, the original army adopted a gradual method of setting up camps, apparently trying to push the camps close enough to the coalition forces.

The method of approaching the camp was used by the Chu army in the "Battle of Yanling", which once forced the Jin army into a very embarrassing situation. Without Zhiyu's suggestion of filling the stove and dismantling the front camp, the Jin army had no room for formation. nothing.

"It's too much to bully!" Bai Gongsheng has a character that is always on point.

Should I?Bai Gongsheng had a lot of opinions on the alliance between Chu State and Zheng State. Due to the situation, he reluctantly agreed, but he was always very angry.

In terms of avenging his father, Bai Gongsheng has always been very serious and urgent!

In order to be able to take revenge, Bai Gongsheng didn't ignore the interests of Chu State once or twice, and he restrained himself only when he became Ling Yin.

Before the arrival of the envoy from the original country, the monarch and ministers of the Chu state were indeed discussing the withdrawal of troops at night, but the envoy from the original country said it in public, and the scene became ugly.

Awkward?The monarchs and ministers of the state of Chu would not feel much embarrassment.Just like their ancestors, once the time came, the Chu people could say "I'm a barbarian" and do something with confidence.

The plans of the Chu monarchs and ministers were exposed, and no matter how weird the princes' eyes were, they could not affect the decision-making of the Chu monarchs and ministers. The important thing was that the Yuan army knew that the Chu army wanted to retreat at night.

How did the monarch and ministers of Yuan know that the Chu army was going to retreat at night?No one thought there was a traitor.

They had just finished discussing and invited the princes and representatives to say something. Suddenly, an envoy from the original country came. Whoever wanted to be a traitor did not send the news so quickly.

Therefore, someone from the original country must have guessed it.

"It has been discovered, Yuan Yao doesn't intend to sit back and watch the army leave?" Ziqi said.

They were still discussing with the princes just now, when their intention to withdraw troops at night was revealed and the meeting was terminated, and it became the monarchs and ministers of their own country to re-discuss what to do next.

If it were more than 100 years ago, the monarch and ministers of the Chu State would not care whether their intentions were understood or not.

You must know that the King of the Communist Party of Chu once stopped Que's army with a single car, forcing the Que family to play five advances and five retreats.

Why is there such a thing?It is nothing more than that the monarchy is not something that the courtiers can offend, but the Que family dare not touch a hair of the king of the Communist Party of Chu.

Times are different now!

If Chu Junzhang dared to do that, Yuan Jun would catch him if he could, and if he couldn't, he would try to catch him no matter the cost.

Don't you see, small soldiers dare to swing their knives at nobles, and captured nobles will not hand over jade.

Then Gou Jian used dark means to plot against Fu Chai, and Gou Jian personally killed Fu Chai, once again proclaiming to the world that times have changed.

Ziqi was right!
On the battlefield, after Sun Wu was unable to seduce the reinforcements from the coalition forces, he wiped out the enemy troops at a relatively fast speed.

Of course, not all the soldiers of the coalition forces were killed, more than 3000 of the [-] died, and the remaining soldiers of the coalition forces could not wait for reinforcements. They realized that they would all die if they did not surrender, so they had no choice but to surrender.

Afterwards, the original army was not only doing things to set up camp, but also the cavalry of the original army moved to the rear of the coalition army.

Bai Gongsheng was right. The original army made it clear that they were deceiving others too much. They dared to use less troops than the coalition forces. They made no secret of their intention to encircle the coalition forces, and they really did it.

"The princes misunderstood me!" Chu Junzhang said with a wry smile.

For a long time, why Chu State can do whatever it wants, isn't it because it knows that the princes are paper tigers?
To put it bluntly, compared with the Chu State, most of the vassal states are nothing, which makes the monarchs and ministers of the Chu State not care about the attitude of the vassals.

In fact, most of the vassals really can't do anything outside the country other than having that title to rule a country.

This time it's the same.

Regardless of how many princes formed the coalition, most of the princes simply made up the numbers.

Judging from their performance, Yue Guo and Zheng Guo, who are somewhat capable, show signs of not working hard.

Lu Jun who wants to do something?They might as well do nothing.

This is so special!
Obviously it was the princes who proposed to go north immediately, but it turned out that the Chu army alone took on the heavy responsibility, which really made the monarchs and ministers of Chu feel too bad.

Bai Gongsheng said: "Yuan Hou's proposal to divide the north and the south equally is the most reasonable statement."

This is a proposal that Zhiyao sent envoys to the monarchs and ministers of Chu before the official founding ceremony and ascension to the throne.

According to Zhiyao's proposal, Zheng Guo can be divided in half, and then Chu Junzhang attacks the southern princes, and Zhiyao conquers the northern princes.

At that time, even though Bai Gongsheng knew that the north and the south would confront each other in the end, he still agreed with Zhiyao's proposal.

But what?Chu Junzhang felt that the conditions in the north itself were better than those in the south. Once a confrontation between the north and the south was formed, the Chu Congress would be the one that would suffer. Besides, apart from a few countries in the north, there were actually not many countries left. Chu Jun Zhang decided that Zhiyao would solve the north first, and if Chu State was trapped in the battlefield of the southern princes, there would not be too much Zhiyao could do.

In that case, even though Chu Junzhang wanted to annex the surrounding princes, he still rejected Zhiyao's proposal.

Now, Chu Junzhang still feels that his decision-making is correct, but the princes are too unbearable, making Chu Junzhang seem to have made a mistake in his decision-making.

League, huh?It is impossible to lose the things that allies cheat each other, it just depends on how dirty they are.

Bai Gongsheng said again: "Jun Yue cannot be trusted."

No one disputes this.

In the final analysis, no matter how Fu Chai dealt with the Yue Kingdom, he only managed Gou Jian's personal etiquette, and even gave him very generous treatment.

How did Goujian treat Fucha in the end?All kinds of conspiracies and tricks continued, and in the end he killed Fu Chai himself.

Even if Gou Jian destroys the state of Wu, can't he use the method of imprisoning Fu Chai?Wu Guodu was wiped out, so what about Fucha who was imprisoned and closely monitored!

For Chu State, there is another more realistic situation. Yue State annexed so much territory of Wu State, and a country bigger than Wu State appeared in the south. The two sides are naturally competitors!

Ziqi said, "Why don't you send envoys to review the north-south issue?"

How to say?Even if it's a smoke bomb, let the Yuan army let the Chu army go first!

Even if he agreed, Chu Junzhang specified that he could not open his mouth to participate in the conspiracy, and could only make a small gesture of pursing his lips.

After Ziqi saw it, he understood what to do.

Anyway, it is not Chu Junzhang's order, it can become true if necessary, of course, it can be said at any time that it is the subordinate's own opinion.

Nightfall does not change against anyone's will.

From afternoon to evening, not only the monarchs and ministers of the Chu Kingdom held meetings, but every prince had his own meetings.

The princes of several small countries also made a pile, complaining that they were held hostage and participated in a war that they should not have participated in.

They say that, as if there is nothing wrong with it?The country is too small, and the strength is even worse. The powerful country can do whatever it wants, and it is impossible not to participate, and it is indeed not what they should do to be an enemy of the original country.

Take the countries of Zhu, Teng, Xue, and Qi as examples. Their land is now completely surrounded by the original country. Once the original country is willing, they can lose their country anytime and anywhere.

Among them, the monarch and ministers of Qi State will be more at ease, they are one of the "Three Kes".

After all, Zhiyao supports the surname Chen's restoration of the country, especially the relationship with the Song State. The chances of annexing the Qi State should be low for the time being?

On the side of the monarch and ministers of the Yue Kingdom, what they were talking about was that their performance in the afternoon was too poor, which would most likely cause the monarch and ministers of the Chu Kingdom to think about it, discussing whether to work hard or have more contact with the Yuan Kingdom.

In the final analysis, the State of Yue does not necessarily have to become the opponent of the State of Yuan immediately, can it cooperate with the State of Chu first?
However, the cooperation between the Yue country and the original country must mean that the Yue country is on the disadvantaged side.

The reason is too simple, once the Yue State cooperates with the Yuan State, the Chu State will deal with the Yue State first.

The more embarrassing thing is that even if the Yue State does not cooperate with the Yuan State, it is still possible to be targeted by the Chu State.

Will the State of Yue continue to be the younger brother of the State of Chu?Unavoidably, being repeatedly forced by the Chu State to send troops, there must be other contributions, the national power has been repeatedly drawn, and so on.

It's not that Yue's monarch and ministers are too sober, it's mainly that Chu has always treated its allies like that!

So, unless the Yue Kingdom can become one of the top three in the Xia Dynasty in a very short period of time, otherwise the Yue Kingdom's fate is destined to be bad.

The thinking of the monarchs and ministers of various countries must be closely following the situation. If the coalition forces are fighting smoothly, it should become a look of unity and cooperation to destroy the original country.

Night fell.

The coalition forces want to stop, but due to the repeated actions of the original army, they are in a state of passive response.

The camp of the original army approached within one mile of the camp of the coalition army, and the camp was still being built even at night, and small-scale troops of the original army would be dispatched from time to time, or occasionally a few crossbow arrows would be fired.

How many shots?Isn't it branch? ? ?
It's all because the original army shot a thick and long bed crossbow, and if it hits the air, it will startle the coalition army. Once it hits someone, it will penetrate. The dead look too miserable.

As time progresses backwards, stones are added to the attack.

What the original army used was not the giant catapults used for siege, but the traditional Zhuxia catapults. Big rocks and small stones were fired in turns, which really made the coalition soldiers in the front battalion miserable.

In fact, it's not bad to feel pain, but it's bad luck to die.

The reason why the dead were said to be unlucky, of course, was that the original army operating the equipment simply attacked at will, without any intention of aiming.

For people, the unknown is the scariest thing, especially when they see people dying again and again, they must wonder if it will be their turn in the next second.

Under such circumstances, the army of the small country was the first to be unable to bear the chaos, which affected the surrounding friendly forces, and the camp roar just happened.

At that time, Zhiyao was receiving Ziqi, who came as an envoy from the Chu State, and at the beginning of the meeting, she was just doing some diplomatic etiquette, that is, pretending to say some nonsense.

The two talked about their respective needs, and when they initially talked about the north-south issue, there was a chaotic noise from afar, and many high-level officials from the original country also hurried over.

"Your Majesty, the enemy camp roars!"

At that moment, Ziqi was dumbfounded.

Zhiyao showed a weird expression...
