A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 152 Huai Country: Here Come Chu!

It took three years for Chu State and Qin State to attack Bashu and Bashu, and then they turned against each other because of Ba State's affairs.

With the power of great victory, the king of Chu rectified the domestic lordship, and at the same time weakened the power of the clan. The king of Chu was in power, and he was full of energy for a while. It seemed that the national power of Chu was at its peak.

Huai country, Huai'an.

Sun Wu hurried back all the way. In the past few years, Sun Wu has carried out a thorough transformation of the Huai country's army, reformed the military system, and trained formations. After several years of hard work, the Huai country's army has taken on a new look. Restructuring and suppressing local wealthy families is very hard work.

"Your Majesty, your servants are here to return to your orders." Sun Wu's skin looked a lot rougher.

"Sun Qing has worked hard." Wang Qi said gratefully, grabbing Sun Wu's hand.

"Fortunately, all the troops have been reorganized. Your Majesty can use troops against Chu!" Sun Wu was also full of passion. Is there anything better than practicing his own way in person?
"Is it possible to use troops against Chu State? But I heard that the King of Chu is making great efforts to rule, and Chu State is now very powerful!" Wang Qi was a little surprised.

Sun Wudao: "Your Majesty, although the state of Chu is looking at the fire cooking oil and blooming flowers, all of these are displayed when the King of Chu suppresses the country's monarch and clan. If the King of Chu can continue to suppress the monarch and clan, Diligence will naturally enhance the national strength of the Chu State, but I see that the King of Chu is arrogant and not a diligent person."

"What's more, Qin and Chu are hostile, and they are not on good terms with Jin and Qi. At this time, Chu's country is unstable and there is no strong foreign aid. This is a god-sent opportunity."

Wang Qi nodded and agreed with Sun Wu very much, but attacking Chu State is not a trivial matter, and we still need to see how Jinling Town is preparing.

Immediately summoned Wu Zixu to return to his command.

"Wu Qing has worked hard! You are in Huai country, so you can sit in the palace with peace of mind!" Seeing Wu Zixu's many white hairs, Wang Qi was very moved.

"I'm going to conquer Chu State, I don't know how Wu Qing's materials are prepared?"

Hearing of the conquest of Chu State, Wu Zixu's whole body was like a long sword drawn out of its sheath at this moment, showing its sharpness.

"Your Majesty has already prepared supplies for the three armies, and everything is ready in Jinling City. As soon as the army arrives, you can go to battle at any time!"

"it is good!"

Wang Qi was very happy: "Since this is the case, the time has come. As the saying goes, if you are to blame for it, then wait until this year's autumn harvest to raise your army."

"Attack Chu!"

As Wang Qi's words fell, everyone around shouted: "Attack Chu!"

"Attack Chu!"

"Attack Chu!"

After deciding to attack Chu, the Huai army began to gather.This time to attack Chu, Wang Qi is going to recruit elites to fight. At the same time, in order to guard against Jin and Qi, Huai will also leave a large army to guard.

Under Sun Wu's suggestion, the Huai country only needed to send [-] troops to attack Chu this time.

The two thousand miles of mountains and rivers in the state of Chu can only be destroyed in one battle, so don't be impatient.

After the autumn harvest, outside the city of Huai'an, a large army gathered, and Wang Qi worshiped the sky on a high platform.

"My lords, when the Yin and Shang Dynasties collapsed in the past, the ancestor King Wen entered the Huai River with the remnants of the army. It has been four hundred years since he re-established the Fang Kingdom and protected the people of the country."

"For more than a hundred years, Chu State has repeatedly attacked Huai State while we were fighting, killed our people, and robbed me of my property. As the king of Huai State alone, every time I think of this, I feel extremely sad!"

"The former king passed away, but he never forgot to warn Gu that the state of Chu is a state of tigers and wolves, so we should try our best to build a strong state and destroy it."

"People of the Huai country, don't forget this hatred. You should raise troops to strengthen the country, and wait for the future."

"Last year, a mysterious bird landed in the palace, claiming that Huai Xing and Chu were dead, and it is now."

"The state of Chu has two thousand miles of land and a population of millions. It lives in the upper reaches of the great river. It is powerful. If it is not defeated, the state of Huai will be destroyed by it."

"Today, Xuanniao warns, Huai country should prosper, as the so-called heaven and Fu take it, it will be blamed instead. After today's solitary sacrifice to heaven, the army will attack Chu!"

"Attack Chu!"

"Attack Chu!"

The three armies roared and their morale was high.

There were many battles between Huai State and Chu State, four of which were when Chu State attacked Huai. This time, Wang Qi played the banner of revenge when he attacked Chu.Although the real purpose of Huai State this time is to seize the land of Chu State, politics needs to wrap him in a cloak of justice.

In order to attack Chu, Huai State had rich experience in preparation.The caravans of the Huai State had already gathered the mountains, rivers, geography and rivers of the Chu State and drawn them into a topographic map.

Even the map of Chu State drawn by Huai State is clearer than that of Chu State itself.

King Qi of Huai has been on the throne for eleven years. In autumn, Duke Huai worshiped the sky outside the city of Huai'an. , claiming an army of 20, attacked Chu.

It was not easy for Duke Huai to attack Chu State. Huai State was in the lower reaches of the river, so attacking Chu State was like sailing against the current, which was very inconvenient.After deciding to attack Chu State, Huai State sent people to inform Zhong Guo and Cai State to join forces with Jiang State and Huang State to send troops together.

The State of Chu was very angry at the attack of the State of Huai. The King of Chu immediately ordered the defenders to block the State of Huai.

This time Huai State can be said to be the best of the country's elite, Qingji Xu Rong as the vanguard to attack Chu State.

The Huai State had been preparing for a long time, and once it launched an attack, it would be like the sky collapsing, instantly defeating the border defenders of the Chu State, and the army entered the Chu State like a tide.

Along the way, the Huai army was in a state of invincibility, and the Chu army was defeated in a row, so they had to defend at the pass, not daring to fight the Huai country again.

After seeing this situation, Sun Wu immediately let the army land and attack south instead.

Wu Zixu was very puzzled: "The Huai army has the advantage of a water army, and it is convenient to transport food and grass by water. Why should they give up boats and fight on land?"

Sun Wu said: "The way to use troops is to avoid being predicted by the enemy. Therefore, it is necessary to be surprised. The soldiers are quick. You should take the path that the enemy does not expect, and catch them by surprise and catch them by surprise."

"Although the Huai State navy is powerful, Chu State already knew that there must be countermeasures. For example, driving wooden piles into the river, and the water army is going upstream, and the speed is slow. The Chu army must have countermeasures. At this time If we attack again, even if we win, the Huai army will suffer heavy casualties, and more importantly, the Huai country will lose its time advantage."

"This gives the Chu State enough time to recruit the army. The longer the time is delayed, the more troops we will face from the Chu State."

Wu Zixu agreed very much, and immediately Wu Zixu and Sun Wu split into two groups.

Sun Wu selected [-] elite Tengjia troops and took Qingji as the vanguard to attack by land. In order to prevent the state of Chu from discovering, Wu Zixu still commanded the navy to continue attacking Chu.

On the other side, Zhong, Cai, Huang, and Jiang gathered [-] troops to attack Chu.The Huai Kingdom and the Four Kingdoms formed an alliance, and the troops were divided into three groups to attack Chu.

The King of Chu had no choice but to send a partial division to defend against the Four Kingdoms Alliance. On the other side, he ordered people to deploy layers of defenses above the river to deal with the Huai State Navy. He didn't care much about the 500 people led by Sun Wu.
