A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 234 The Alliance of Chu and Wei
"King Chu, do you still think that Western Chu is not in danger of being destroyed?" Gongsun Yan said.

In the hall, there was a sudden silence, and everyone seemed to be choked by the throat, unable to speak.

After a while, the King of Chu said slowly: "Gongsunqing, as you said, Chu State is now surrounded by Huai State and Qin State, but Chu State is not powerless to fight back. And Qing came here this time to Let's fight between Qin and Wei!"

"What Qing said just now was just to get Chu to send troops to contain Qin, not for me, Chu!"

Gongsun Yan was taken aback for a moment, then recovered, and continued: "King Chu, the ministers are indeed here for the Qin State to attack Wei, as you said, and also for the Chu State."

"Wei Envoy, you have such a thick skin, you dare to speak out when the king sees it through." Another minister said.

Gongsun Yan was not angry, and continued to speak: "King Chu, Chu State now occupies Badi and Hanzhong, Huai State is to the east, and Qin State is to the west and north.

The Huai country is strong, and there are dangerous fortresses in hand, it is difficult to pass through. If Chu country wants to go east, it is as difficult as reaching the sky. If it does not strengthen its strength as soon as possible, it will be destroyed by the Huai country sooner or later.

The only way out for Chu State to strengthen its strength is Qin State, the land of Bashu, which is rich in products and has natural barriers to the outside world. As long as the road from Guanzhong to Shu is cut off, the land of Bashu will be the foundation for the prosperity of Chu State again. "

"In the same way, if you can't occupy the land of Bashu, then Qin State will occupy the land of Bashu, and then the land of Bashu will become the granary of Qin State. And Chu State will also be in the Qin State and Huai State. Under the siege, it gradually declines and finally perishes!"

The King of Chu knew in his heart that what Gongsun Yan said was true. Since the reform of the law, the national power of Qin State has been increasing day by day. The relationship between Qin State and Chu State was not bad before, but in recent years, Qin State has become more and more coveted for Badi.

"I understand what you said, but if you want me to rescue Wei, Wei must form an alliance with us, West Chu!" King Chu said.

Gongsun Yan said: "King Chu, don't worry, our Wei State is willing to form an alliance with Chu State and jointly attack Qin State."

In fact, although the vertical and horizontal technique is powerful, it is not a lie. Even if this kind of coaxing is successful, it can only be successful for a while. The most brilliant vertical and horizontal technique is to let you see the benefits you will get by doing so.

As the saying goes, the prosperity of the world is all for profit; the earth and soil of the world are all for profit.The king of Chu was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart. Gongsun Yan's false threats did not frighten them, and he saw through Gongsun Yan's purpose.But after seeing the crisis of Chu State and the opportunity for development and growth, the King of Chu agreed.

After Gongsun Yan negotiated with the king of Chu about sending troops, he hurried back to the state of Wei.After learning that the King of Chu was willing to send troops and form an alliance with the State of Wei, the King of Wei immediately agreed to form an alliance with the State of Chu.

One of Chu State and Wei State is in the east of Qin State, and the other is in the south of Qin State, almost half surrounded Qin State.If it is really possible to unite and attack Qin State, if Qin State cannot handle it well, it will really be in danger.

King Wei immediately wrote the letter of credence and appointed Gongsun Yan as an envoy again to the state of Chu.

In the land of Hexi in Wei State, Qin State's 20 troops under the leadership of Gongsun Yang captured Anyi, the old capital of Wei State, but Qin State did not stop there, and planned to swallow the entire Hexi land.

After Pang Juan received reinforcements supported by King Wei, he began to fight Qin again.Although he still had the upper hand, it also blocked Qin Guo firmly.

In order to compete for Anyi, Qin State and Wei State invested more than 35 troops.

After agreeing to the alliance with Wei State, Chu State began to mobilize its army to attack Qin State. Chu State occupied Shangyong Hanzhong, and the road from Hanzhong to Guanzhong was only a ramp. The passing army.

The king of Chu ordered the army to go out of Baoxie Road to attack Qin State. The army marched northward, crossed the rugged mountain road, and entered Guanzhong. Although Qin State stationed troops here to defend Baoxie Road, it never expected that the Chu State would send troops at this time.

Tens of thousands of Chu troops attacked suddenly, and the Qin army was no more than [-] defenders. They were no match for Chu at all, not to mention that Chu launched a surprise attack at night.Most of the Qin army is still asleep, and the state of Chu has already rushed to the city.

The army of Chu State broke through and entered the Guanzhong Plain. General Xiang Mao of Chu State led his army directly to the east and attacked Xianyang, the capital of Qin State.

When the Marquis of Qin learned of Chu's attack, he was shocked and turned pale. He quickly ordered an army to resist Chu's attack, and sent an envoy to send a message to Gongsun Yang to return to his division for rescue.

The army led by Gongsun Yang was the elite of the Qin army, and most of the troops recruited by the Marquis of Qin were old and weak, and they had no advantage in the face of the Chu army.

After the reform of the Chu State, the morale of the soldiers was high. This time the attack on Qin even defeated the Qin army, and soon the Chu army approached Xianyang, the capital of the Qin State.

Gongsun Yang, who was confronting the Wei army, received the news of Chu's attack, and his face changed suddenly. Chu went north from Hanzhong and could go straight to Guanzhong. The threat to Qin was too high.

Before Qin State and Chu State had good relations, they were worried that Chu State would send troops.After seeing that the army of Chu State had threatened Xianyang, Gongsun Yang knew that Qin State was in danger, and immediately decided to return to the army for rescue.

It is not easy for Gongsun Yang's 20 troops to retreat. Fortunately, Qin still has the upper hand at this time and can arrange it calmly, but Anyi, which has just been captured, must be abandoned.

In order to prevent the Wei State from chasing troops, Gongsun Yang set up an ambush on the way to withdraw the army in advance, and led the army to retreat when the preparations were ready.

After Pang Juan learned that the Qin army was retreating, he immediately laughed and said: "Chu has sent troops, and the Qin people are going back to the army to rescue them! We can't let them go!"

The army assembled, and Pang Juan led the army to pursue it. After seeing that the Qin army was in a stable formation and the surrounding terrain was more suitable for an ambush, Pang Juan ordered scouts to search, and he found the Qin army ambushing among them.

After seeing this situation, Pang Juan immediately sent people over the mountains and attacked from the side. After a big battle between the two sides, the Qin army began to retreat.Pang Juan's army chased after him and defeated the original ambush team.

It's just that although the Wei army defeated a Qin army, it could no longer catch up with the army led by Gongsun Yang.

Pang Juan sent people to recover the surrounding land, and then the army began to march towards Shaoyang.He wants to take this city back.

On the other side, Gongsun Yang led the army back to Xianyang. Xiang Yu, the general of Chu, saw the Qin army rushing back, and immediately sent a large army to attack, trying to defeat Gongsun Yang when his foothold was not stable.

The army of the Qin State returned to the rescue, and the result of the victory was lost this time. It can be said that it was burning with anger. Seeing the Chu army attacking, one by one bravely took the lead, the Chu State could not take advantage of it.
