After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 259
Tian Qi thought very clearly that the reason why the current Han and Qi are opposed is because of two points. The first is that the two sides border each other and there is a geographical rivalry. The second is that Qi has not clearly expressed its support for which emperor.

If the Tian family takes power in the Qi state in the future, if they want to fight for world hegemony, the best way is to join hands with the Han state to deal with the Jin state. This time, Qi Hou is bedridden, which is a very rare and good opportunity.

Therefore, Tian Qi wanted to use Mengdi's vision and methods to persuade Qihou to let him lead the army. Even if he could not win the Jin Kingdom, he would not end up in a disastrous defeat, and he could use this time to control the entire army.

When Tian Chang heard his father say this, his face showed a thoughtful look, and he frowned after a while and said.

"If Meng Di takes the opportunity to make some excessive demands at this time, shall we agree or not?"

He has dealt with Mengdi for a long time, so he has a very clear understanding of the other party's mind. Generally, under such circumstances, Mengdi will not give up asking for more benefits.

But Tian Qi smiled lightly, as if he was very confident about this matter, he spoke directly.

"With Tian's promise at this time, Meng Di will not open his mouth. He needs time to develop the Han Kingdom, and we just want a strategy to defeat the enemy. He should be very clear in his heart, what does this mean? "

"We've talked about this before. If Mengdi doesn't keep his word, then we should be wary of him. Someone who is greedy like this is not a good partner."

"You just have to rest assured, the most important thing is to get a strategy to defeat the enemy. If he really puts forward any excessive conditions, you can agree to it on the spot, as long as it can ensure that my Tian family can get the power of Qi."

At this moment full of changes, Tian Qi is like a hunter who has sensed an opportunity. He is ready and ready to make a move. Tian has waited too long for this moment.

At this time, Wu's army took Tianchang and Shandao again, and then concentrated their forces to attack Chu County. In this way, Wu's actual control area will be connected together, and this territory is not small, and it will take a while for digestion.

The Han army also captured Xue Guo during this period, while the Chu army was in a state of full contraction. King Chu Zhao looked anxiously at his ministers. Under the current situation, if Wu Guo cannot be stopped , Chu State is in danger, he asked.

"If Wu's army is marching at the current rate, it won't take long for it to occupy a large area of ​​Chu's territory. If things go on like this, how can this be achieved? Can you guys have any way to stop Wu's army?"

For a while, no one spoke in the hall. The last time they fought against the Wu army, if the Qin State had not sent troops to help, the outcome would have been uncertain. Therefore, in the hearts of everyone, when the Wu army was strong, it was not easy to deal with.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Zixi raised his eyebrows and thought for a while, then stepped forward and spoke.

"At the beginning of the prosperous state of Wu, King Helu of Wu took the lead in advocating the style of simplicity, and the carriages for traveling were very simple. Of course, after the state of Wu broke the capital of Ying, they began to become extravagant."

"The current king of Wu is even more indifferent to the people of the Wu state. He has repeatedly fought and conquered everywhere. Under such circumstances, as long as we can stick to it, then the state of Wu will definitely be defeated in the future."

"Now that Wu's army is coming in menacingly, then we can avoid its edge. When Wu's army goes deep again, we can take the opportunity to catch them by surprise."

The words are good, and it sounds reasonable, but the current situation is that the state of Wu has already won a large area of ​​land. If it is not stopped in time, one day, the territory of the state of Wu will be comparable to that of the state of Chu. .

And now the army of Yue State is also dispatching troops to the Taihu Lake area, echoing each other with the army of Wu State. Under such circumstances, if they continue to endure, large areas of Chu State's territory will be occupied by Wu Yue.

After much consideration, King Xiong Zhen of Chu finally made up his mind. Now he is not confident enough to fight against the Wu army, but he still has the courage to fight against the Yue army, so he said directly.

"Since this is the case, let's gather a large army to deal with Yue's army first. After defeating them, we will come back and think of a way to deal with Wu. Otherwise, both places in Chu will fall into instability and panic will intensify. "

And at this time, Bai Gongsheng, who has been unknown for a long time, stepped forward and said.

"If your majesty trusts me, you can let me lead troops to fight against Fuchai, the king of Wu. I have stayed in the country of Wu for these years, and I know Fuchai very well. The uncle next to him is a greedy person, and he can spend a lot of money at that time. Go and bribe him."

"Then do a good job of defending Juchao. In this way, as long as Wu's army can't attack for a long time, they will definitely withdraw their troops. Then our crisis in Chu can be resolved."

Regarding Bai Gongsheng, King Chu Zhao was still very vigilant towards him. No one in the entire Chu Kingdom did not know about his mother. Under such circumstances, is Bai Gongsheng worth trusting or not?

After Zixi heard this, a thoughtful look appeared on his face, then he nodded slightly and said.

"Your Majesty, you can give it a try. The Wu Kingdom has conquered so many territories, and the soldiers are constantly attacking along the way. They will definitely consume a lot of physical strength. If they are only used for defense and not for attack, our chances of winning are still very high. of."

Seeing that Zixi also agreed with Bai Gongsheng's statement, King Chu Zhao agreed.

Then King Chu Zhao led his army to meet the army of Yue, while Bai Gongsheng led his troops to Juchao.

But at this time in the Vietnamese army, Gou Jian's face looked very gloomy, his eyes turned to the distance, Wen Zhong said from the side.

"Your Majesty, at this moment, we must have something to say to the State of Wu. Turning evil to the State of Chu is not what we want to do, but Fu Chai must not be offended. At this time, we should continue to march towards Luotian."

"If we encounter Chu's army, we can withdraw smoothly. In this way, Fu Chai has no reason to blame us. After all, we just had a big battle with Wu and lost a lot of troops. Naturally, it will not be Chu's army. opponent."

Gou Jian's heart is also quite complicated. Now he is forced to send troops to Chu State. If he is hated by Chu State, then Yue State will be in danger. In this way, he has to rely on Wu State to survive.
