After Spring and Autumn

Chapter 370 Changes in the situation

After the State of Wu pacified the State of Chen, it directly sent troops to attack the State of Chu. At this time, Bai Gongsheng stepped forward and directly led his troops to fight against the Wu army, and won the victory. Under such circumstances, Uncle Chu cheered thunderously.

Bai Gongsheng also took this opportunity to say that he would take the captured spoils and present them to King Chu Hui who had just ascended the throne.

King Chu Hui even took people out of the city to greet him, but he did not expect that Bai Gongsheng would launch a rebellion directly, kill Yin Zixi, imprison King Chu Hui, and then directly depose him and establish himself as the king of Chu.

Under such circumstances, the Wu army took advantage of the situation to attack and took a large area of ​​territory. This was also the condition for Wu Wang Fucha to support Bai Gongsheng to become the king of Chu. He kept taking the territory around the Dabie Mountains, and then stopped advancing.

The main reason is that Fuchai, the king of Wu, received the news that Han sent troops to Zheng and headed towards the capital of Zheng at a very fast speed. This is a very dangerous signal. Next Zheng Guo's words.

Then the rear of Wu State will become very dangerous, because now Wu State's territory is over-expanded and its troops are scattered in various places. Under such circumstances, once Han State launches an attack on Wu State, it will become very dangerous. extremely dangerous.

Moreover, after taking down the Dabie Mountains, they can use this natural barrier to defend against the Chu State. What's more, the King of Chu is Bai Gongsheng, and the Wu State has nothing to worry about. The most important thing is that the Jin State has sent an envoy again at this time.

After seeing the envoy, Fucha, the king of Wu, felt a little hard to make a decision for a while, so he spoke a little irritably.

"Judging from the current situation, Han seems to intend to expand abroad, and now the territory of Wu has more than doubled, but the population has not increased accordingly. I heard that many people fled directly to Han. .”

"If this situation continues to develop, the strength of the Han Kingdom will surpass our Wu Kingdom one day. I really didn't expect that it was just a small country in the land of Huaiyi, but now it has grown to this point."

Bo Pi is also worried at this time, no matter how stupid he is, he can understand that Han has become the biggest threat to Wu, but at the same time, he is also very clear in his heart that if war starts now, Wu may not belong to Han opponent.

Because the army of Wu State is now in the land of Chu State, when they return, the war between Han State and Zheng State may have ended long ago, so he said after thinking about it.

"Now that Jin has sent an envoy to reiterate our private alliance last time, then we can naturally agree. First of all, Jin will send troops to Qi to attract Han's troops."

"In this way, when we attack the Han State, the resistance will become quite small. Otherwise, we will make wedding clothes for the Jin State. At that time, our Wu army will bear the greatest pressure, and the Jin State will profit from it."

Fu Chai, the King of Wu, nodded after hearing this. He also thought the same thing in his mind. At least now that the heart disease of Chu State has been eliminated, he has no worries about the future. Moreover, after fighting for such a long time, the soldiers also need to rest.

So Wu's army began to withdraw to Helu City, preparing to take a rest and make full preparations, and then go to war with Han.

And in Linzi, the capital of Qi State.

After the envoys to Yan returned, as expected by Tian Qi, Yan directly rejected Qi's proposal, which provided Qi with a good excuse to go to war, and now Han has sent troops to Zheng.

Moreover, Jin State also agreed to assist Zheng State, so it was obvious that Jin State did not have the energy to help Yan State at all.

"Father, if we send troops to Yan at this time, once Han withdraws, Jin will be able to turn around and directly deal with us Qi. This is very unfavorable to us."

But Tian Qi was not worried about this at all, he smiled lightly, pointed to his son and said.

"You have to take a long-term view. Among other things, Wu Guo just got the new city from Han Guo. Do you think that with the temper of the Marquis of Han, he will swallow his anger at this time? He will find this loss sooner or later. back."

"So the most important reason why we haven't turned against Wu now is because Han Xinzheng has just implemented it, and has plundered a large number of people from outside. The foundation is a little unstable, so we choose to back down."

"This time, the most important reason why Han sent troops to Zheng to help Cao was to demonstrate its own strength. Firstly, to frighten Wu, secondly, to let Jin see the strength of Han, and at the same time let the vassal states of the Central Plains Choose well."

"Especially Lu and Wei. The situation in Han is very good now. If the Han army is fighting against the Jin army and retreats without fighting, what choice do you think the National Assembly of Lu will make?"

Tian Chang thought for a while, and felt that what his father said was reasonable. Logically speaking, there was basically no connection between Cao Guo and Han Guo.

Han Guo's action to help Cao Guo this time will definitely have a great influence among the vassal states in the Central Plains. If it is handled well, it is likely to gain both fame and fortune. In this way, those vassal states are between Jin and Qi There is another option.

As for the state of Wu in the south, there is no need to mention it. Their desire for territory is too strong. Contacting such a powerful vassal state seems to be automatically delivered to the door. Just look around the state of Wu and it will be clear.

Like the original Zhongli State, Xu State, and Chao State, these small vassal states were all annexed by Wu State. This has a considerable conflict with the etiquette adhered to by the princes of the Central Plains, so Wu State has formed in the hearts of the vassal states. certain stereotypes.

Under such circumstances, if Han Guo helped Cao Guo this time, as long as the follow-up issues are handled properly, it will soon establish its own prestige. Tian Qi has seen this, so this Prepare to launch troops against Yan.

After thinking about this, Tian Chang was still a little worried, so he directly reminded him.

"Even if the state of Jin is unable to help the state of Yan this time, the attitude of the state of Wei is also very important. If after our army sets out, the guards take the opportunity to attack our state of Qi. At that time, our army may face the back road. danger of breaking."
