(The last day of this year is about to pass. The author would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy new year and all the best! Thank you for your company and support over the past year. Your support is the author's unremitting motivation! Thank you everyone!!! )
On the third day of July, King Ji of the Zhou family.

After Xiong Xian led his troops to the north, the [-] Chu troops who stayed in Wang Jinei were under the command of Chu general Chen Yu.

At this time, inside the main tent of the Chu army outside Shangluo City, Chen Yu was pacing back and forth in the army tent with an anxious expression on his face.

Because just now he received the news that the Wu army, who had been following them, had been moving non-stop for the past two days.

The most important thing is to look at the posture, there is already an intention to outflank the Chu army's rear, how can Chen Yu bear it.

Before Xiong Xian handed over the army to him, he had repeatedly warned him to stabilize the army of Wu and Wei.

After Xiong Xian left, Chen Yu did not dare to relax for a day. The Wei army in the north never stopped moving, and it was not easy to maintain the situation.

But now, the people of Wu Guo began to feel restless, how could Chen Yu bear it.

The army of the state of Wei cannot solve the problem once and for all, but as long as the people of the state of Wu are hurt, they will return honestly.

So after thinking about it, Chen Yu made up his mind to teach Wu Jun a lesson, so that they would know how to retreat in spite of difficulties.

There were [-] Wu troops, and [-] Chu troops stayed behind at Wangji. In order to ensure the advantage over Wu troops, Chen Yu mobilized [-] troops to attack Wu.

In other words, there are only [-] Chu troops defending the north of the Great River from the Wei army. It must be said that Chen Yu took a risk this time.

So shortly after the combat order was issued, Chen Yu regretted it a little, and it has turned into extreme anxiety until now.

Chen Yu was not very worried about whether he could defeat the Wu army, he was only afraid that the Wei army would attack with all their strength.

Once the army is entangled by the Wu army in the south, and the Wei army in the north will not hesitate to attack, then their Chu army will be really dangerous.

Thinking of Wei Jun's terrifying fighting power, Chen Yu felt dizzy.

"Oh, I'm still impulsive..." Chen Yu murmured.

But he didn't dare to let other people hear those words. If it got out, the morale of the Chu army could be imagined.

Although he was extremely worried, Chen Yu could only wait. Everything had been arranged, and he was just waiting for the result.

In the midst of boredom, the neighing of horses came from outside the military tent, followed by the sound of footsteps.

There is news...

Chen Yu couldn't sit still immediately, but he still tried his best to restrain the thought of rushing out, and sat safely in the handsome seat waiting for the scout's return.

"General, our army has defeated the Wu army, and has surrounded the Wu army on all sides, and we will wipe them out in a few days!" The scout who came to report was full of excitement, and it seemed that he was also very happy after the victory.

In any case, this is good news, so Chen Yu was still relieved, and heard him ask: "Since the victory, what about the casualties of our army? What about the casualties of the Wu army?"

Only when he knew the real result of the battle, would Chen Yu know whether the battle was worthwhile.

But at this time, the scout faltered, and under Chen Yu's gaze, he knelt down and confessed: "Forgive me, the general. The villain came in a hurry. I don't know how much our army has suffered in the battle with the Wu army!"

Of course Chen Yu was very angry at this time, but he also knew that he couldn't be angry, after all, he came to announce the good news.

So Chen Yu said in a deep voice: "Go back to the front line quickly, figure out the matter, and then report to me!"

As if the scout had received an amnesty, he cautiously withdrew from the military tent after saluting Chen Yu.

Because of this little episode, Chen Yu didn't even smile at all at this moment, instead it made his heart hang.

No matter how worried he was, time still had to pass. What Chen Yu was more concerned about now was whether to order the army in front to withdraw. After all, defending against the Wei army was the most important task.

Dang Duan continued to be disturbed by it, and when he knew what he should do, Chen Yu immediately let go of his entanglement, and then wrote his general order in hand.

It has to be said that Chen Yu's decision was very forward-looking. In the early morning of the next day, news of the large-scale mobilization of Wei Jun came.

This frightened Chen Yu quite a lot. Fortunately, all the troops who attacked Wu had returned according to the order. Although the front line was tight now, as long as they persisted for one day, the unfavorable situation could be reversed.

On the fifth day of July, the Wei army stationed in Chen Di was dispatched on a large scale, and under the leadership of Wang Xiu, they went straight to Wang's direction.

In the east, Zheng Chang and Liu Xuanba marched steadily, and they earned a lot of military merits, which made Wang Xiu not envious.

Before he competed with Chen Zhan for the position of General of Changping Daying, the two were actually equal, the reason why he was able to take the position was because he was closer to the monarch, so Wang Xiu needed to prove himself even more.

What's more, now that Chen Zhan is stationed in Fufeng, he stabilized the two counties of Qin State, which is also a great achievement.

Only he, Wang Xiu, although he was in the position of the chief general of the Changping camp, hadn't achieved an inch of merit.

The people of Chu and Wu fought, and Wang Xiu couldn't let this opportunity pass away, so he decided to lead an army to attack.

In fact, although Wei Wuji authorized them to act arbitrarily on the fly, they are also responsible for their own actions.

Therefore, regardless of the outcome of this military operation led by Wang Xiu, if the army suffers heavy losses, his military career will come to an end.

The Chu army attacked Wu, and now the Chu army on the south bank of the river was short of troops, so Wang Xiu ordered the troops to divide into five groups, and overwhelmed them with an upright force superiority.

No matter what advantage the Chu army has, its shortcoming of insufficient troops is enough to smooth all this, and the Wei army's five-way attack can make it clumsy.

The fact is indeed the case, under the advance of Wei Jun's five-way army, Chen Yu also had to order the troops to divide into five groups, and use weak forces to meet Wei Jun.

Fortunately, there is a big river as a natural danger. Although the Wei army is coming aggressively, they have to cross the river first, so the two armies are at a stalemate.

In this way, Chen Yu let the front line hold on, while waiting for the arrival of reinforcements to attack Wu.

But at this time, an accident happened. The reinforcement army, which was supposed to arrive at the front line on the seventh day of the first day, did not arrive for a long time.

The Wu army, which was besieged by the Chu army, counterattacked desperately, delaying the return of the Chu army.

This made Chen Yu so angry that he was half dead, and all he could do was stop issuing military orders to let the ministries quickly get rid of Wu Jun's entanglement, and go all out to return to the south bank of the river.

Because of this, the Chu army had no desire to fight, and instead suffered a great loss from the Wu State, and suffered a lot of losses along the way.

Although the state of Wu had a big defeat before, it did not actually hurt its vitality, so this time the Chu army lost its wife and lost its army in the battle against Wu.

But the Chu army retreated to the north of Shangluo, and after the troops gathered in one place, the Wu army did not dare to continue to pursue.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, Wu Guo has achieved his goal, and on the other hand, if he continues to pursue, the battle line will be stretched too long, and the risk will become higher.

But the Wu army did not retreat just yet. They were entrenched in the area south of Shangluo and might attack the Chu army at any time.

The current situation is that half of the Zhou royal family Wang Ji is controlled by the Chu army, and half is controlled by the Wu people.

Wu Jun is no more benevolent than Chu Jun. They also need food and grass supplies, which hurts the local Zhou people.

As the war continues, it will only be ordinary people who suffer. After being exploited by the Chu army, these Zhou people were plundered by the Wu army.

But now, Chen Yu really couldn't laugh anymore. He never thought that the situation would develop into this way.

After the Wu army occupied the area south of Shangluo, the Chu army's retreat was temporarily cut off, and there was still a general offensive that the Wei army might launch at any time to the north.

Chen Yu's current pressure can be imagined, but what he is more worried about is what kind of disaster will be brought to him and his family after the serious consequences caused by this.

With the temperament of the current monarch, once the Chu army suffers heavy losses, it is rare for him and his clan to survive.

Therefore, Chen Yu can only think about trying his best to recover the loss, and now he no longer has the idea of ​​connecting both sides.

So Chen Yu's method is, on the one hand, he sent troops to harass the Wu army, and on the other hand, he strictly guarded against the Wei army who was defending the north of the river.

Up to now, the only thing Chen Yu feels lucky about is that the Wei people north of the big river failed to cross the river.

As long as the Wei people are still blocked by the river, things may turn around. Although the Wu people cut off the Chu army's back, Chen Yu is sure to break through another way.

But at present, the situation of the Zhou family and Wang Ji has fallen into a three-party confrontation stage.

Wu Guoren's attack was weak, Wei Jun was helpless against Dahe Tianxian, and Chu general Chen Yu only wanted to keep the situation stable.
