A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 209 Tun Chu (2)

King Chu and Qu Qing never looked at these people again.A group of insects who only fight for power and profit, who gave them the courage to make them feel that they can lead an army against Wu Qi, the number one military master in the world?

There are also people who rush to give away people's heads.

Things have come to this point, relying on these people, the king of Chu might as well pray that Wu Qi will suddenly die of illness.The entire line of the Hanyang Plain collapsed, and even Yunmengze could not stop Huaiguo's footsteps.

After the Huai State navy defeated the Chu State navy, they could already enter the Hanshui River. If the Chu State hadn’t closed the river and piled wooden piles into the bottom of the Hanshui River to stop the Huai State navy, it is estimated that the Hanshui Plain would have fallen faster. .

For the northern countries, there are many lakes and swamps in the Han River Plain, which is not conducive to chariot combat, but for the Huai country, which is also in a place with abundant water, they are also familiar with this environment.

Moreover, after several restructurings, the number of chariots in the Huai country army was very small.

After the king of Chu saw that those great nobles were still unwilling to hand over their military power, he immediately stopped forcing them and appointed these people as Sima of the left army to command the army.

It is said that they are in command of the army, but in fact they are the private soldiers of these great nobles, as well as some soldiers of Yingdu. These nobles have thousands of private soldiers, and hundreds of them. Add up to one hundred thousand troops.Prepare to use the Han River and the city to defend.

The king of Chu asked these great nobles to lead the army, and then sent Qu Qing's son Qu Chang and Jing Mu's younger brother Jing Ming to the Nanyang Plain to take away the army that was still loyal to the king of Chu.

The Nanyang Basin was also entrusted to the nobles by the King of Chu, and those nobles wished that King Chu's army would leave quickly so that they could occupy it.

After the king of Chu appointed those nobles as Lingyin and Sima of the left army, Qu Qing wrote to ask the king of Chu to move his capital.

"Your Majesty, the purpose of the Huai Kingdom's attack on Chu is to destroy our Chu Kingdom. Now that the Huai Kingdom's army has broken through the defense line of the Hanjiang Plain, please move the capital to Jiangzhou City immediately."

Jiangzhou City was originally the capital of the Ba State, but was later captured by the Chu State. Because the city is located in the mountains, it is also known as the Mountain City.After the demise of the Ba Kingdom, the Chu Kingdom occupied the land of the Ba Kingdom. The mountains here are steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are basins, the land is fertile, and rock salt is produced. Back then, the Ba Kingdom relied on this place to fight against the Chu Kingdom for hundreds of years.

If there hadn't been civil strife in the end, and with the help of Qin State, it would not be easy to destroy Ba State.

"Please order the king to summon the Nanyang Army to escort you westward."

The king of Chu knew that it was a critical juncture and he could no longer hesitate, so he immediately ordered the Chu family to move westward.

Qu Qing, king of Chu, led the royal family and a large number of civilian husbands to move westward, while Qu Chang and Jing Ming led the army to protect them.Fortunately, in the past few months, the King of Chu and Qu Qing have transported a large amount of supplies to Jiangzhou City several times, and this time they don't need to bring too many supplies.But even so, the convoy of the king of Chu stretched for more than ten miles.

The westward migration team is huge, with nearly 20 people in the whole team. In addition to the population of previous migrations, the number of people who moved to Badi this time exceeded 60.

Just when the state of Chu moved westward, Wu Qi had already cleaned up the Han River plain, and then began to advance towards Yingdu.

At the same time, Sanjin and Qi also took action. Qi stationed tens of thousands of troops on the border, but did not attack. Sanjin agreed to send troops to rescue Chu, and the army went south. All the land captured by Chu State was taken back.

And South Korea also took this opportunity to attack Zheng Guo.The so-called Three-Jin Allied Forces had no intention of rescuing Chu State at all. Instead, they took advantage of this opportunity to directly annex all the territory of Chu State's Central Plains.And began to attack the Nanyang Basin southward.

Chu State was originally defending against Huai State's attack, and regarded the Three-Jin coalition forces as allies. It never expected that the Three Jins would attack suddenly.

Originally, the Chu State had been defeated in a row, and their morale was low. They were waiting for the Three-Jin Allied Forces to come to support them, but it turned out that the Three-Jin Allied Forces took the opportunity to attack.

The original reinforcements became daggers stabbing at their hearts, which made the Nanyang Chu army completely lose hope and their morale collapsed.

On the other side, the Huai army who went north to attack Nanyang also launched an attack.Under the attack from the north and the south by the armies of the Three Jin and Huai states, the state of Chu could not resist at all.

In just one month, the Nanyang Basin was divided up by the Sanjin and Huai Kingdoms.After dividing up the Nanyang Basin, the Huai Kingdom and the Three-Jin Allied Forces confronted each other, but no further war broke out.

After Huai State annexed half of the Nanyang Basin, it was very unhappy that the Three Jins took advantage of the fire to loot, but there was no military order, and Huai State did not attack.

When the Three Jins saw that Huai State had almost destroyed Chu State, they did not dare to send troops to provoke, so the two sides confronted each other here in the Nanyang Basin.

The main goal of the Huai State is to destroy the Chu State, and it does not want to go to war with the Three Jins at this time.

Wu Qi's army fought against the Chu army. After learning that the Chu State had sent a few nobles with little experience in leading troops as the main generals, Wu Qi immediately smiled and said: "These nobles of the Chu State are unwilling to give up fighting for power and profit when they perish. So how can we not perish?"

After speaking, he ordered directly: "Wu Zuo!"

"The end is here!" A young general stepped forward excitedly.

"You lead five thousand soldiers and horses to attack the Chu army!"

"Yes!"

"Remember, you are only allowed to lose in this battle, not to win. If you win, not only will you be useless, but you will also be dropped three levels in a row!"

"Ah!" Wu Zuo, who was still excited just now, was dumbfounded.

"Ah what, the military order is like a mountain, accept the order!"

Wu Zuo's face was ugly, and after receiving the general order, he led the army to fight.

Five thousand troops attacked the Chu army, and after fighting for half an hour, the Huai army pretended to be invincible and retreated in embarrassment.The few nobles of the Chu State who led the army for the first time were overjoyed to see the Huai army defeated.

"Wu Qi is nothing more than that!" Several people said triumphantly.

"That Meng Zhuo relied on the defense line of the Hanjiang Plain, and his army of more than one hundred thousand was defeated miserably. He is indeed a man who has gained a false reputation. He should not have been recommended as a general in the first place!"

"That's right, if I had been the general at that time, how could Wu Qi have reached the Han River directly?"

After Wu Zuo's defeat, Wu Qi led his army back for [-] miles, and then could not hold out. The general of Chu State saw that Huai State retreated, and immediately led his army to pursue it.

Seeing that the main general was going to lead an army in pursuit, several generals around hurried forward to dissuade him.

"General, this is Huai Nation's trick to lure the enemy. This battle is definitely a fraudulent defeat. If we pursue rashly, we must fall into Huai Nation's treacherous scheme!"

"Nonsense, the Huai country has already been defeated, and now is the time to pursue. You are not scared out of your wits by the people of Huai country, are you?"

It's just that a few big nobles didn't listen at all, and forcibly ordered the army to pursue them.

Seeing that the army of Chu State actually came, several generals of Huai State were also surprised.Doesn't the general of the Chu Kingdom know that he should send scouts to search first, and then pursue after it is safe?

Seeing that the generals of Chu State were so clumsy and the army rushed forward, how could Wu Qi be polite, and directly ordered all the ambush soldiers to come out and wipe out the Chu army.

Then the army drove straight in, and defeated Yingdu in the first battle.
