Competing

Chapter 458 Yun Hao, Yun Qingshan
The news of the Vietnamese army's attack spread to Jiangling City, and everyone in Linjiang Kingdom was shocked.

They knew about the rise of Yue Kingdom in Jiangdong, but because the two countries were separated by the narrow strip of Jiujiang Kingdom, Gong Ao didn't care much about it.It never occurred to him that the rise and strength of the Yue Kingdom would pose any special threat to the Linjiang Kingdom.

What he didn't expect was the ambition and goal of King Yinxu of Yue. He thought it would be good for Yue to rule the roost in Jiangdong, but he didn't expect that King Yue would take advantage of the opportunity of the Han army to attack Pengcheng and take the opportunity to occupy Kuaiji and Yuzhang in Jiangdong.The strength of the Yue State has also developed rapidly. Even though it has reached this point, the King of Yue is still not satisfied.

It wasn't until the army of the Yue Kingdom appeared on the west bank of Peng Lize that Gong Ao realized that Yin Xu's goal was the entire south, and it was too late to react.

The Yue State was invaded by two armies together, but the northern route along the river was not bad, and the army was led by General Pu Jun of the Yue State.But the road to the south was a bit shocking, it turned out to be Zhang Han.

Who is Zhang Han, General Qin, King Yong... The shock and harm caused to the rebels from all walks of life are still fresh in his memory.An unstoppable commander, if there is anyone in this world who can block his attack, perhaps only Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and Han Xin, the great marshal of Han, are the only ones!

The small Linjiang Kingdom is not the opponent of the Yue Kingdom at all, no matter in terms of military strength and generals, they are not at the same level at all.It was also for this reason that Han Wang Liu Bang didn't take him seriously, and didn't worry about him sending troops to attack from the flanks.Otherwise, troops must have been sent to attack. After one escape, luck can't always befall him.

Now when facing the army of Yue, Gong Ao lost all confidence and was worried.Sitting in the main hall of the Jiangling City Royal Palace at this time, he was downcast and depressed.

"Father, we can't sit still like this!" A young man was very anxious after seeing Gong Ao's expression and reaction.

This young man is none other than Gong Wei, the son of Gong Ao who killed him. He is also the prince and heir to the throne of Linjiang Kingdom.Gongwei also wanted to dominate the Linjiang Kingdom over one-third of an acre, calling the wind and the rain.So I take the matter of foreign invasion very seriously, fearing that my dreams will be destroyed, so I am very worried about this matter.

But he doesn't know the news like his father Gong Ao, so what's the use of worrying and being afraid?It can't solve any usefulness at all. What we need to think about now is how to deal with the attack of the Vietnamese army. This is the key to the matter.It's not his style to just sit and wait for death like this.

Gong Ao sighed: "My lord, what can we do besides defending Jiangling City? Zhang Han and Pu Jun, especially Zhang Han are powerful. You know that our military strength itself is not as good as that of the Yue Kingdom. And now the country of Yue advances by land and water, how can we resist the invasion of our Linjiang country by the two countries?"

In fact, most of Linjiang is undeveloped mountains, forests, lakes and marshes. There are not many cities in itself, and the most important one is the capital Jiangling.If he can hold on to Jiangling City, it will be considered a victory in itself, and maybe there will be a turning point.Other than that, Gong Ao couldn't think of any other way.

Gongwei said: "Father, it is inevitable to stick to Jiangling City, but how long can we stick to it? Without foreign aid, we can't hold on for long, and the consumption of troops and food and grass is huge. I'm afraid it won't work! It's nothing to sit and wait for a long time. the difference."

"Foreign aid? Where can we find foreign aid?" Gong Ao snorted coldly and said, "Linjiang was conferred by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, and we have always had good relations with Western Chu, but now that Western Chu is fighting on all sides, where is it?" They have the energy to help us. If they have strength and ability, they will not be occupied by the Yue State in Kuaiji and Yuzhang. As for the Han King Liu Bang...

Because we have good relations with the Western Chu Kingdom, Liu Bang has long regarded us as disliked, lest we attack him from behind.Now that someone is helping him relieve his worries, why not do it?Where will rescue us?Before that, Li Shiqi had just gone to Jiangdong from our land, and brought the little princess of the Han Kingdom with him, saying that the two countries were going to marry and form an alliance.Although I haven't heard the specific news and results, my father even suspects that Liu Bang's support and even tacit approval is behind Yue's attack on Linjiang, so we are now in a helpless situation! "

Speaking of this, Gong Ao seemed a little desperate. The weak princes looked worthless in the face of the powerful overlord, and they had no power to fight back.

Gongwei said disapprovingly: "Father, both Chu and Han countries can't count on it, but those who can help our Linjiang country don't know them."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Gong Ao's nervousness, and he asked, "Tell me, who else can we ask for help?"

"Yunhao, Yunqingshan!" Gong Wei said a name in a deep voice!
"You mean asking barbarians for help?" Gong Ao couldn't help being surprised.

Gongwei nodded lightly, and said: "Father, this is probably the only way to do it for now, so I will fight to the death."

Yunhao, whose name is Qingshan, is the leader of the barbarians near Linjiang Kingdom.This person is quite familiar with the culture of the Central Plains, and even imitated the people of the Central Plains, and took a name for himself.

Yun Qingshan has [-] barbarians under him, very powerful, and he himself seems to have some relationship with the Yelang Kingdom in the southwest.There are some extraordinary influences in Linjiang country.

After Gong Ao became the king of Linjiang, he was more afraid of Yun Qingshan, and the two sides could be said to be like the waters of the river.A large part of Linjiang Kingdom's fiefdoms are mountains, forests, lakes and marshes, which can already be regarded as the scope of activities of barbarians.In order not to offend them, Gong Ao deliberately kept his strength within the riverside area, maintaining a balance.

It is not bad that there is no conflict with the barbarians, and now he is counting on them to help him fight the war. In Gong Ao's view, his son's talk is completely nonsense.

"We have never had any connection with the barbarians, and the possibility of inviting them to fight is relatively small, and they may not be able to beat Zhang Han and Pu Jun!" Gong Ao didn't have much hope for this.

Gong Wei shook his head and said: "Father, how will we know if we don't try? We can say that we have reached a desperate situation now, and we can say that a dead horse is a living horse doctor. As long as we can save our Linjiang Kingdom, we must try! Do you just sit and wait like this, or surrender to Yin Xu directly?"

Faced with his son's questioning, Gong Ao's heart moved and he surrendered... Yin Xu seems to be younger than his son, surrendering to such a person is really hard to lose face...

When Gongwei saw his father's expression, he became excited, and his heart moved, maybe he had a chance to persuade him.Immediately said: "Father, you may not know that some time ago, I often went out to hunt. I once ran into Yun Qingshan in the mountains and had some friendship with him, so this matter is not entirely impossible!"

"You know Yun Qingshan?" Gong Ao was very surprised by this, he didn't expect his son to have a connection with the barbarian leader.

Gongwei nodded and said: "Yes, I know Yun Qingshan, and he is very wise and forthright at this time. My son talks with him more speculatively, and now he is considered a very good friend!"

"Does he know your identity?" Gong Ao couldn't help but sweat. It's really dangerous for his son to associate with barbarians as the prince of Linjiang Kingdom.If the other party knew the identity of the son and arrested him to threaten him, it would be a little troublesome.

Gongwei seemed to know what his father was thinking, shook his head and said: "Father, don't worry, Yun Qingshan didn't know the identity of his son at the beginning. But later, with his intelligence, he may have noticed it from various aspects. The identity of the son is just deliberately not specified. Yun Qingshan is an upright person, and he will not do those despicable things. On this point, the barbarians are more trustworthy than the Central Plains people!"

"Okay!" Gong Ao nodded helplessly: "Even if this is the case, how sure are you that you can persuade Yun Qingshan to help us? What good will this do for them? And you have to face the army of Yue, the barbarians Regardless of whether it will work or not, Yun Qingshan may not be willing to send troops!"

Gongwei shook his head and said: "Father, my son doesn't think so. Yun Qingshan is a very smart person, he should know the truth of his lips and teeth. We are evenly matched with him in Linjiang Kingdom, and we can prevent each other from attacking each other. But the Vietnamese army Can this be achieved? From the matter of the Yue army's westward expedition, it can be seen that Yue Wang Yinxu's ambition is not small, and he will not be satisfied with Linjiang. Maybe he wants to restore the old state of Chu in the past. The rule of the south takes all the land south of the river into its hands.

The barbarians are widely distributed in this area, and the barbarians are also very brave in combat. The existence of such people is a big threat to the Yue Kingdom. The king of Yue, Yin Xu, would not tolerate the existence of such a force.Therefore, one of his methods is definitely to recruit and surrender, and the other way to do it once and for all is to eliminate. "

Gong Ao nodded lightly: "Are you sure you can persuade Yun Qingshan?"

"You can try!" Gong Wei said: "You can lobby Yun Qingshan and tell him that the target of the Vietnamese army is not only Linjiang, but also the barbarians and Yelang. Try to pull the barbarians and even Yelang Come in, this way our Linjiang Kingdom will have allies, the strength to fight against the Vietnamese army, and perhaps a glimmer of hope."

Gong Ao nodded lightly: "Okay, let's do it this way, and stick to Jiangling City with all our strength for my father. Go lobby Yunqing, find a way to contact the barbarians, let them send troops from outside to help us, let's do it like this! Be careful!"

Seeing his father agreeing, Gongwei was finally relieved, whether he can succeed is another matter.But it is important to go all out to fight, at least you will not regret it.The country of Yue is powerful, and the fighting power of the Vietnamese army is very powerful. I wonder if it can defeat the barbarians?
Gong Wei sneered, and left Jiangling City, he is now going to find the barbarian leader Yun Hao, Yun Qingshan!
