A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 55 Provoking Discord
The Chu army was defeated in a night attack, and many surrendered.Even Chu's coach Xiong Bo died in battle.After Xiong Bo died in battle, the remaining Chu army surrendered one after another.

After dawn, the Chu army camp also surrendered directly.

The Huai army suffered few casualties in this battle, while the Chu army suffered thousands of casualties. More than [-] surrendered, and very few escaped.The main reason for this was the lack of food. If these people really escaped, they would either starve to death or be captured as slaves. Few of them could return to Chu.

The [-] Chu troops surrendered, but Wang Sheng didn't care about being happy. He ordered people to disarm them, and escorted them to the mines in Handi to mine. As for the nobles, he gave them corresponding treatment.

The Chu army was generally dealt with by cutting the mess with a sharp knife, and Wang Sheng led the army directly northward, preparing to rescue the Northland.The Chu State was defeated in this battle, and the morale of the Huai Army was high.

The army traveled northward from the canal by boat, marching very fast, but within three days, the army had already appeared on the north bank of the Huai River.

The Huai army appeared on the north bank of the Huai River so quickly, Qi and Lu also received the news immediately.

The camp of the Qilu coalition forces besieged Xiapi. Xiapi used to be the capital of Zhongwu. After decades of construction, the city was high and deep, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack.

"The Huai army came back so quickly, could it be that the Chu army has already been defeated?"

"It's only been a few days? The Chu army sent 5 troops to encircle Handu, not to mention [-], but [-] cattle and sheep. They can't catch them all in such a short time!"

"Could it be that the Huai army is divided? Half of the troops are left to contain the Chu army, and the rest of the army comes to relieve the siege?"

"I'm afraid that's exactly what it is!"

"If this is the case, then the longer this battle drags on, the better it will be for us. This time we must teach Huai country a lesson!" The generals of Qilu and Lu quickly discussed the countermeasure, which is delay.

Although the Qilu coalition formed a coalition, there was a constant turmoil between Qi and Lu. It was because of the strength of Huai that Qi and Lu could join forces.

You must know that because of Ji Guo's affairs, Qi Guo had a lot of friction with Lu Guo at the border.

The Huai army camp faced the Qilu coalition forces, Wang Sheng did not underestimate the enemy because of the victory over Chu.Wang Sheng's attributes may not be as good as Huai Wugong and Huai Wengong, but he has one advantage, that is, he accepts advice humbly and acts decisively.

"Masters, do you have a good strategy to defeat the Qilu coalition?" Wang Sheng asked.

"Your Majesty, although the Qilu coalition forces are numerous and powerful, what they did was to restrain our army from attacking Wu. This time, our army has already defeated Chu. As long as we send envoys, the armies of the two countries will definitely retreat." The doctor said.

Wang Sheng frowned slightly, he was not satisfied with this action in his heart, if he didn't teach the two countries a lesson for the Qilu coalition attacking Huaihe, how could he swallow this breath.And if they send envoys to the past, it is very likely that the two countries will think that they have a guilty conscience.

As for another fight with Qilu, Wang Sheng had no such plan.Although the soldiers of the Huai State were elite, even he felt exhausted after fighting for thousands of miles this time, let alone those ordinary soldiers?This time it is more about peace through war.

"Your Majesty, why don't you set up a battle with them. With the strength of our army, we will definitely be able to defeat the Qilu coalition army." Next to it, a burly man shouted: "Your Majesty, I will definitely defeat the Marquis of Qi!" Capture it and present it in front of the palace!"

Wang Sheng glared at him angrily.

"Your Majesty, although there are many Qilu coalition forces, it is well known that Qilu and Qilu are at odds. This alliance is only to deal with us."

"How about treating the two armies differently, Your Majesty?"

"Treat them differently? How to treat them differently?" Wang Sheng looked at Gongyang Shuo with some doubts and asked.

"Attack the heart in this battle!"

Gongyang Shuo said respectfully: "The two armies are fighting, our army can let the elite of the Tengjia army fight against the Qi army, and let the other troops fight against the Lu State."

"The Tengjia army is the elite of our Huai army. The Qi army is definitely not an opponent and has suffered heavy losses. However, the general Huai army that is facing Lu is only slightly stronger than Lu. In this way, the casualties of Lu must be far lower than that of Lu." Qi State."

"People don't worry about scarcity but inequality. This is human nature. If Qi loses more than Lu, how can Qi have no idea?"

"At that time, the Qi State will definitely think that the Lu State has not contributed, and the Lu State will feel that it has been wronged. There is a gap between the two countries. If this is the case, the Qi-Lu Allied Forces will definitely break it!"

"Okay, Gongyangqing is worthy of being the minister of Huai Kingdom, as Yiqing said." Hearing Gongyangshuo's explanation, Wang Sheng was very happy and immediately agreed.

Immediately ordered the army to deploy according to Gongyangqing's plan.

On the Huaibei Plain, armies from both sides gathered.After each side sent officials to come forward to report all the crimes of the other side, the armies of both sides began to fight.

This kind of war situation is a ritual war.That is, the two parties agreed on the place, time, and formation of troops to fight.However, this way of fighting is now becoming less and less common.In a few decades, this kind of courtesy war will disappear.

With the sound of war drums, the armies of the two sides approached slowly, and soon the armies of the two sides met hand-to-hand. At this moment, the rattan armor army showed amazing power.

The rattan armor with rhinoceros skin and elephant skin looks similar to leather armor, but its defense power is far superior to that of leather armor. I saw that the Qi soldier slashed on the rattan armor with a long spear, and he couldn't make any progress. Beheaded by Huai soldiers.

The soldiers of Qi State Changge were blocked one after another, while the soldiers of Huai State quickly harvested their weapons. However, just after a short time of fighting, Qi State's army formation was sunk by Huai State, while the army of Lu State on the other side was fighting with the soldiers of Huai State. Huaiguo was evenly matched.

Soon under the attack of the Tengjia Army, Qi State suffered heavy casualties, the army formation was crumbling and retreating continuously, and the army formation between Qi State and Lu State was also torn a big hole.After Wang Sheng saw it, he directly dispatched a large army to attack the opening.

The Lu army was attacked on the flanks, and they couldn't resist it immediately. Under the two-phase attack from the front and the side, they couldn't resist it in just a moment, and they were defeated.

Seeing the defeat of the Qilu coalition army, Wang Sheng directly ordered the army to attack, and the sound of rumbling chariots sounded immediately, strangling the defeated army.

The front army collapsed, and the rear army immediately marched up. Seeing that the opponent's army was in order, and there was no chaos at all, Wang Sheng ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops, and did not continue to pursue.

After seeing that the Huai army did not continue to pursue, the Qilu coalition army also breathed a sigh of relief. Today's battle let them know the gap between themselves and the Huai country.

The camp of the Qi-Lu Allied Forces was very lively in the big tent. At this time, the generals of the Qi and Lu countries were quarreling red-faced, and they were almost ready to fight.

"Don't you Qi state claim to have sharp armor and brave battles? If you weren't defeated today, causing our army to lose protection on the left wing, how could our elite Lu state be defeated!"

"Today's defeat is entirely the responsibility of your country of Qi!"

"Nonsense, don't you guys know what the level of Lu is and I don't know Qi? It must be that you have secretly made a deal with Huai, or if you are not as strong as Qi, how can you stop Huai's armored soldiers?"

"You spitting blood, you are shameless!"

"Bang!" There was a muffled sound, and everyone looked back, only to see the head coach of Qi looking at them with a gloomy face.

"enough!"

"I will truthfully report to Your Majesty what happened today. Let's go!"

"Hmph, I will also truthfully report to your majesty what happened today!" The coach of the State of Lu snorted coldly.The two parties broke up unhappy.

Huai and Qilu fought in Huaibei. Gongyang said, "There is a gap between Qilu and Qilu. We should send elite troops to attack Qi, and Duke Wu Zhao followed him.The Qi army collapsed, causing the Lu army to collapse, Qi and Lu were suspicious of each other, and the coalition forces dispersed. —— "36 Strategies: Dividing Strategies"
