A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 16
Wang Tao took a look at the minister, then got up and bowed to Duke Xu, and then said: "Tao came here this time to ask for help, but he didn't intend to drag Xu Guo into it."

"It's Xu Guo himself who is in it but doesn't know it. Tao came here this time to state his interests to Xu Gong!"

"Cunning words to confuse the public, my Xu country is a big country in the east, and Bang Zhou came to fight Huai country, what has he to do with my Xu country? You just want our Xu country to send troops to help you!"

Wang Tao bowed to Xu Gong again and said, "Xu Gong, is everyone in Xu Guo such short-sighted people?"

"You..." Hearing Wang Tao's words, the surrounding ministers were filled with righteous indignation and looked at him angrily.

"Okay, you all sit down!" Xu Gong's voice sounded, and the surrounding ministers stopped and sat back.

"Prince Wang, please speak up!" Xu Gong continued.

"Mr. Xu, the State of Xu is Fang State granted by Jun Xia, and has nothing to do with or relatives with Bang Zhou. Now that Bang Zhou's army is here, is it just to deal with Huai State?" Wang Tao continued without waiting for everyone's answer.

"Xu Guo did not surrender to Bangzhou. This time, the army came. With such a good opportunity, what Xu Gong thought Bangzhou would do? The relationship between Xu Guo and Huai Guo is like human lips and teeth. If the lips are gone, the teeth will be lost." Can you keep it?
Xu Guo is a big country in the east. There are many countries in the east, headed by Xu Guo, and 32 countries pay tribute. They regard you as the leader of the alliance.The prosperity of Xu State has already threatened the majesty of Zhou Tianzi. Bang Zhou respected Zhou Li, and Xu Guo had already threatened Zhou Li. Now that Bang Zhou's army is coming, will Zhou Tian Zi let Xu Guo do nothing?

Perhaps Zhou Tianzi will not attack Xu State for the time being in order to deal with Huai State. If Huai State is destroyed, will Bang Zhou let Xu State go?What will Xu Guo do then? "

"Would Xu be able to live in peace without the Huai country blocking Bangzhou's southward movement? Xu and Huai are each other's wings, and when Bangzhou cuts off his wings, can Xu be able to survive alone?"

"Xu Gong, Tao thinks that Bang Zhou's army is coming, which is not good for Xu Guo and you. If you let Bang Zhou attack the surrounding Fang Guo and let Bang Zhou grow bigger, it will be very dangerous for Xu Guo. I hope you can be carefully considered.”

Xu Gong agreed with Wang Tao's statement, but he still hesitated to send troops to help Huai country.After all, the deterrent effect of Bangzhou's [-] troops is still very high.

Seeing Xu Gong's expression, Wang Tao knew that Xu Gong's heart had been moved, and immediately said: "Xu Gong, before the death of the former Lord Wen Wang, he had already predicted that Bang Zhou would attack aggressively, and he had left a way to deal with it. If the army dares to come, let them come and go!"

"King Wen left behind a way to deal with the enemy?" Hearing this, Xu Gong was very surprised.Regarding Zijue's prestige, as Mr. Xu, he is very clear about it. You must know that Zijue defeated Bangzhou repeatedly with just a thousand people.The eastern countries have not dared to go south for decades, which can be said to be very prestigious.

Later, the Huai Kingdom conquered from east to west, annexed many Huaiyi tribes, and never failed. In 50 years, it became a big country with a place of 50 miles and a population of [-].Many people think that he got the destiny.Now that Zijue passed away only five years ago, his reputation is easier to believe.

After receiving the confirmation reply, Mr. Xu did not hesitate and agreed decisively.

After signing the covenant, Wang Tao did not stay in Xu country for long, and returned directly to Huai country. Wang Zhao will send someone to contact him for the next matter.

Huai country, Huai'an.

As for Bang Zhou's massive attack while Zijue was dead, Zijue had already expected it when he was alive, and he had specially deduced it with the ministers and how to deal with it, so what Wang Tao said was not a lie.

Zijue is well aware of the strengths and weaknesses of the Huai country, and he is also aware of the strengths and weaknesses of Bangzhou. As long as he avoids using his weaknesses to confront the opponent's strengths and uses his own strengths to confront the enemy's weaknesses, he will basically be invincible.In many cases, the army does not rely on ingenious tactics, but makes fewer mistakes than anyone else.

After these years of development, Huai Country already has five big cities and thirty towns.Because of Zijue's strategy, Huai country has been developing southward.The southernmost point has reached the Yangtze River.Although the development in the north is not as fast as that in the south, Zijue still attaches great importance to the north.

Several strong cities were established in the north of Huai'an, which were used to deal with Zhou Fangguo's southward movement in Uttar Pradesh.When Zijue was building these cities, they were the horns of each other, with strong walls, sufficient food and grass, and water sources in the cities.According to the siege technology of this period, if you want to capture these cities, you need at least tens of thousands of troops to besiege them for a long time.

As long as Wang Zhao defends against the Zhou army according to the countermeasures discussed at the beginning, he has a great chance of winning.

After getting Xu Guo's willing alliance, everyone in Huai country was more confident, and the state machine began to launch immediately to prepare for the next big war.

After sweeping away all obstacles, Ji Bi was full of vigor and vigor. In a short time, he was very reckless after sweeping away the feeling of being restrained since he ascended the throne.Then wait until the food and grass are collected, and lead the army to the east.

In Ji Bi's view, the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven is the best equipped army in this era, and it has a large number of people. Huai Country is just a mere barbarian. What's so hard about defeating Huai Country? Isn't it enough to have hands?
It took a month for the army to come to the east, and then they were stationed in Qi, Lu, and Tan to rest and prepare for the next battle against Huai.

While the army was resting, other princes also brought their own soldiers to call, and the entire east had gathered more than [-] troops.

At the same time, the Huai country also completed the autumn harvest, fortified the walls and cleared the fields, and all the food and people had entered the cities or big cities, completing the pre-war preparations.

The [-] army has also been assembled. At the same time, Wang Zhao also conscripted a large number of civilians. Although these civilians are not as powerful as the [-] army, they are more than enough to defend the city.

Wang Zhao knew that his military strategy was not bad, so he handed over the command of the army to General Wei Yi. Wei Yi was Yu's son. When Yu captured Shan Hou, he was given the surname Wei by Zi Jue.

Wei Yi has been very talented since he was a child, and after studying in the academy, he has experienced several times with Zijue, and after careful training, he has become an excellent general.

Zijue has checked his attributes. His military strategy attribute peak is 92, commander is 90, and force is slightly lower at 78.It can be said to be an excellent commander.This is why Zijue is not worried at all about Bang Zhou's army conquest after his death.

With Wei Yi around, as long as Wang Zhao doesn't command blindly and engage in micromanagement, Bang Zhou's army can't win at all.

Wei Yi took the Tiger Talisman, and immediately ordered the army to fortify the wall and clear the field, and at the same time sent agents to collect news about Bang Zhou's army.With the issuance of military orders, the cloud of war has shrouded the East.

In the fourth year of Wang Wang's reign, the Son of Heaven conquered the Huai River, and the Prime Minister of the Huai River made an envoy to Xu.Xu Huai's lips and teeth are attached to each other, and his lips are dead and his teeth are cold.Xu Gongnai sent troops. —— "Zuo Zhuan: The Four Years of the King of Assassins"
