A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 157 Qin State: God treats Huai people so generously
Xiongju slayed himself, and Yingdu was destroyed.Chu State suffered heavy losses.

Although Xiong Ju died, Xiong Ju's brother Xiong Tao escaped, and after learning of Xiong Ju's death, he was supported by other nobles as King of Chu.

Xiong Tao fled all the way north into Yanling, and then stopped, and then immediately sent envoys to Qin for help.

Although Chu State lost Yingdu, the area of ​​Chu State is two thousand miles away, even if Yingdu is lost, the remaining land area is still vast. It has to be said that Chu State has a rich heritage.

Although the Huai State captured many nobles, a large number of nobles in the Chu State still escaped.Many of these nobles were princes of Chu.After the Huai State captured a large amount of land in the Chu State, many fiefdoms of the lords were occupied.

These people are naturally unwilling to hand over the fief to others.As a result, a large number of nobles began to spend money and efforts to recruit soldiers and train the army.

Chu State sent Shen Baoxu to Qin State for help.

In Yongdu of Qin State, Shen Baoxu escorted the Queen Mother of Chu to Qin State. The wife of the King of Qin State is the daughter of the Queen Mother of Chu State.Originally, Qin State didn't want to see the envoy of Chu State. After all, the two sides broke up not long ago. Now you come and I want to see you?Then am I very shameless?
When Shen Baoxu saw Qin State, he didn't want to see them, so he felt sad immediately, and wept bitterly outside the Qin State Hall, and while weeping bitterly, he told about the friendship between Qin and Chu, and expressed remorse for Chu State's previous actions, and was willing to Correction compensation.

Some crying makes the listener weep and the hearer sad.Qin Hou was finally moved, and Qin Hou received the envoy of Chu State.

When the envoy of Chu State informed of the war and asked Qin State for help, the people of Qin State were also stupid.

When they learned that the state of Chu was defeated, Xiong Ju died, and Yingdu was destroyed, the entire court of Qin State was stunned.

They knew that Chu State had a vast territory and a large population, and that Huai State was probably thousands of miles away from Yingdu. The [-] Huai army marched so long and went straight for thousands of miles. They defeated Yingdu in five battles and captured and killed the King of Chu.

Such a record is simply a myth in their eyes.

The more than 20 troops of the Chu State were all defeated, and the entire war lasted only one month. In one month, ordinary people would rush from Yingdu to Huai'an.

This Huai country actually marched all the way, winning consecutive battles all the way, and invaded Yingdu.

Even if it is 20 pigs, let the Huai army kill them, they will not be defeated so quickly!How did it fail?

Everyone in the state of Qin wondered whether the state of Chu was too weak and vulnerable.But thinking of the strength that Qin Chu showed when he defeated Jin last time, he was no weaker than Qin.

The last time Qin and Chu attacked Ba, although the two sides had a very unpleasant quarrel in the end, Qin also saw the strength of Chu, otherwise you would think that Qin would be so easy to talk to.There is no room for Qin and Chu to go to war directly?That's because Chu State is very powerful.

Seeing that such a powerful state of Chu was beaten so badly, Qin State was also shocked.

When more news came together, Qin had a clearer understanding of the battle between Huai and Chu.

"This Sun Wu is so powerful!"

"Three thousand and five hundred people broke through three levels in one day."

"In the Battle of Hanshui, three battles and three victories, 500 soldiers defeated Chu's [-] troops. Although Zichang was also incompetent, it is undeniable that Huai State is strong. The People's Army besieged the Left Army Sima Shen Yi with [-] men."

"Shen Yi has always known soldiers, and his army is well-trained. They are the elite of Chu State. Shen Yi is also loved by soldiers, but even so, he was defeated and surrounded by Sun Wu."

"Huai Country has produced another great talent this time!"

"How generous is God to Huai people?"

Huaiguo:? ? ?Do you know why?Take your life for it!
Huaiwu Zhaogong, Huaizhuang Xianggong, Huaixuangong, Huaihuangong, Huaiguo has been established for 400 years, but there are so many wise monarchs.

Qin Ren looked envious.

"Chu is a big country in the south. Even if it is defeated in this battle, it is impossible for the Huai army to destroy Chu. It would be even better if Huai wants to swallow Chu. A large number of princes from the old lands of Chu will resist. When the time comes, we will Sending troops with Chu State, Huai State is powerful, but not invincible." Many ministers of Qin State discussed.

"Besides, if Chu State is destroyed, Jin State will be able to draw its hand to deal with us. If so, how many years will it take for Qin State to leave Hangu Pass eastward?"

"Your Majesty, I suggest that you support the State of Chu. If the State of Chu dies, the State of Qin will face the State of Jin directly. At the same time, the State of Huai is so strong that if we join forces with the State of Jin to encircle and suppress it, we, State of Qin, will follow in the footsteps of State of Chu!"

"Your Majesty, support the State of Chu. The State of Chu has suffered heavy losses in this battle, and its strength has been exhausted. It can be said that it is a serious injury. In the future, it can only be more and more attached to the State of Qin. This is very beneficial to the State of Qin. Qin State will dominate the Qin-Chu alliance. .”

"Masters, what you said is true, and I am willing to send troops to help Chu, but do you have a way to defeat or stop Huai?"

All the ministers had no good solution for a while, "This Sun Wu is a born military master. He commands an army of [-] and runs rampant in the world. Who can resist?"

When everyone felt embarrassed, Qing Zipu of Qin State said: "Your Majesty, although the Huai army is strong, but at this time the Huai army is in Chu, it is a guest army, not fighting on the mainland. Although the Huai army is very brave, Sun Tzu The command is invincible. But our army has more numbers, is familiar with geography, and with the help of Chu State, we can still fight!"

"There are still many vassals fighting in various places in Chu State. Although these vassals are not strong individually, they are numerous. If they can work together, Huai State will have to pay a huge price if it wants to stabilize the country."

"These lords can disrupt the Huai army's retreat and at the same time help us attack. With the cooperation of the Chu army, even if we lose to the Huai army, it is enough to protect ourselves. What's more, the Huai army has traveled thousands of miles, and the military supplies need to be transferred by the Huai country. Shipping by water also requires a very high price.”

"We just need to confront him and harass him a little bit. In the end, Huai country can't hold on and will retreat. At that time, we will recover the lost ground together with Chu country."

Hearing the strategy of the doctor Zipu, the Qin State felt that it was feasible, so the Marquis of Qin ordered him to command the Qin army of [-], and join the Chu army to attack the Huai State in the south.

After the army of Qin State was dispatched, the morale of Chu State was greatly shaken. The Chu army, which was in panic all day long, finally settled down. With the support of Qin State, the Chu State finally felt relieved.

Soon Chu State began to recruit large troops, and the lords from all over the country also began to gather. At the same time, these lords also relied on their familiarity with the terrain and their large numbers began to harass Huai State.

Regarding this situation, Sun Wu had discussed with Wang Qi before, and both of them believed that Chu State could not be annexed in World War I, so they did not plan to occupy Yingdu for a long time, but planned to migrate the population of Yingdu.
