The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 408: The Numb Chunshen Jun (asking for monthly tickets~)

After Tian Dan received the news that Chu was attacking Qi, he immediately withdrew his troops to provide support without hesitation.

After Tian Dan returned to Qi and completed the handover with Wang Jian, Wang Jian withdrew his troops neatly.

The rest is up to Qi and Chu.

The Chu army led by Prince Fu Chu had already been defeated. Now the army suffered heavy losses, and the soldiers had no will to fight. The city they were defending was the only Qi city that had just been captured.

If Tian Dan couldn't get this back, he would have no face to live.

As for Gongzi Han's group, they have now retreated to Yangxia and are defending the city.

After Wang Ben lifted the siege of Wei State, he withdrew his troops efficiently.

At this time, Wei State was in high spirits. Chu State was badly defeated and both armies suffered crushing defeats. It was a good opportunity to regain lost territory.

King Jingmin of Wei ordered the entire army to attack and take advantage of the situation to attack Chu, and to recover everything that was lost last year!

Because of Prince Fu Chu's foolish behavior, King Jingmin of Wei decisively sent envoys to form an alliance with Qi and take this opportunity to jointly attack Chu.

King Jian of Qi readily agreed and ordered Tian Dan to not only recover the lost land, but also to capture a few more cities!
If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard. Who can resist taking advantage of others' misfortune?
This is a great situation and a great opportunity, we must seize it.

At this time, Wei Yong was really concerned about it, and the situation had changed!

The fiefdom promised by the king will be taken back by chance! The pie in the sky has a real chance to become a real pie that can be eaten.

He immediately volunteered to go to the front line to supervise the battle.

King Jingmin of Wei naturally understood his thoughts, and after much hesitation, he agreed. Wei Yong had made great contributions one after another, so he deserved a reward.

If he could recover the lost land, it would be just right for him to use as his fiefdom, which could be considered a reward.

Anyway, if it is taken back, it will be the first line against the invasion of Chu State. In the future, Wei Yong will only deal with Chu State more attentively, so it will not be a loss in any way.

Moreover, the fact that Wei Yong attached so much importance to his fiefdom also indirectly showed that he did not have too much ambition, which made King Wei Jingmin feel more at ease.

At this time, Wei Yong, as the prime minister, went to the front line in person. The Wei army, which had been suppressed for a long time, turned from defense to offense and its morale was boosted.

Wei Yong has always been known for his advocacy of war. Although he has a bad character, he has the ability.

Moreover, few people who knew that Wei Yong was a bad person were from the Wei State.

Even if they knew, no one would believe it. Besides, Wei Yong was indeed working for the benefit of the State of Wei at this time, so no one would say anything.

Wei Yong gave up attacking the big city of Yangxia and turned his troops around, dividing them into two groups. One group went down the Sui River to capture Xiangcheng, while the other group attacked from Mincheng to capture Fangyu!
The attack from Mincheng was also to cooperate with the Qi army and cut off Prince Fuchu's retreat route.

Gongzi Han's side was now stable, but he did not dare to attack again. Besides, he wanted to see his brother suffer more!
It perfectly portrays the attitude of remaining as still as a mountain when friendly forces are in trouble.

Since everyone has lost, whoever loses more miserably will naturally have the advantage.

Besides, it is you who are responsible for the situation becoming so deteriorating.

If you had not thought of attacking Qi State opportunistically, would you have led to the end of Qin State? Would you have caused such serious consequences today?

Prince Fu Chu also saw the current situation clearly, and he regretted it deeply in his heart. It was too late to regret a single mistake.

Faced with the pincer attack from Wei and Qi, it was impossible for him to defend the city with only a few newly conquered small cities and his defeated troops.

What you should do now is to minimize the losses.

The defeat was ugly enough, and the entire army must not be annihilated. Otherwise, for the State of Chu, the loss of 100,000 troops would be a serious blow, and his position as the crown prince would be even more hopeless!
Prince Fu Chu acted decisively and withdrew his troops immediately without any hesitation. He abandoned all the newly captured cities of Qi and retreated to Fangyu, where he held on to block the attack from Wei.

Although I was defeated, I cannot let myself lose cities and territories again.

Even if my brother doesn't support me, my father will send people to support me. As long as I hold on, I will have nothing to fear when the support arrives.

After Qi takes back the city, it will not have much desire to attack.

The main one is Wei State.

However, Wei can only fight when the wind is favorable. As long as large reinforcements arrive, it will be difficult for Wei to advance.

Prince Fuchu only thought about stopping the State of Wei by himself, not losing the land, and defending Fangyu to the death.

However, he was unable to cope with the defense of Qi. After taking back all the cities, Tian Dan made a prompt decision to attack Lu and captured nine cities in a row, including the most important Yangguan, Chengfu, and Ying. He pushed forward all the way to Qufu, and then stopped.

This time, the State of Qi, which had always been beaten, was able to gain some pride and expanded its territory by nearly two hundred miles.

Well, it can’t be said to be an expansion of territory, it can only be said that the previous land and cities were taken back.

Seeing that the battle was going so smoothly and the harvest was so huge, King Jian of Qi urgently recruited a hundred thousand troops, who he originally thought would be useless. Now they were all deployed, and he urgently let Hou Sheng lead the troops to support Tian Dan, and he must defend the results of the battle.

As for the Wei State, Prince Fu Chu had a good idea to defend Fangyu to the death, but he could not hold it with his demoralized remnants. Although there were still tens of thousands of people, they had no will to fight.

The Wei army was different. After being beaten for so long, they finally fought back. Their morale was very high, and Wei Yong worked even harder.

Of course he was willing to fight for his fiefdom.

After ten days of resistance, Fuchu finally gave up. Fangyu was not a big city, and it was just taken last year. Under Wei Yong's reckless and unscrupulous attack, it was impossible to defend it. He could only retreat all the way to Pengcheng to defend it.

(The original picture was made by B station UP host Ivar the Boneless. At present, Wang Jian has withdrawn his troops and is waiting. Wei Yong is in Fangyu, where Fu Chu retreated first. Fu Chu failed to hold on and retreated to Pengcheng. Gongzi Han has retreated to Yangxia to defend it. Yan and Zhao are still in a standoff.)
The State of Wei not only recovered all of its losses last year, but also captured four more cities.

King Jingmin of Wei, who had been beaten since he ascended the throne, finally got his revenge and was very happy.

He also knew very well that the State of Chu would never give up easily.

We gritted our teeth and mobilized all the troops in the country to support the front line. The battle was going so well, it would be best if we could capture more. Even if we couldn't, we had to hold on to our achievements!

Just at this time, Chunshen Jun's support finally arrived.

No matter how anxious Chunshen Jun was along the way, there was nothing he could do, after all, he had to lead the army first.

Chunshen Jun observed the situation deeply and knew that the land of Lu was already in ruins. It was useless to go there and the tactic of adding fuel to the fire was not acceptable.

Decisively order the army to go to Pengcheng for support first, to defend the city, and not to go out to fight. Just keep it stable for the time being. The strategic location of Pengcheng must not be lost.

He led an army of 20,000 and marched quickly to Gongzi Han, where he seized his military power and forced him to return to Shouchun.

Although Gongzi Han was dissatisfied, Chunshen Jun came with the royal order, so he did not dare to disobey and had to return in disappointment.

Chunshen Jun also ordered Xiang Yan to take the 20,000 troops to integrate Prince Han's defeated army, and barely put together an army of 100,000 to attack Xiangling and Suiyang of Wei, forcing the Wei army to return to defend.

He ordered Xiang Yan to die and not to attack forcefully or be greedy for merit. His goal was to tie down part of the Wei army's forces.

After Xiang Yan took control of the situation, he immediately rushed to Pengcheng and asked Prince Fu Chu to return to Shouchun to take charge of the power.

Fu Chu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly handed the mess over to Chunshen Jun, and returned to Shouchun quickly.

Chunshen Jun was extremely disappointed with the performance of these two princes. How come I brought Wang Ling and asked you to go back, and you went back so easily?

You guys refuse to go back and insist on staying here to redeem yourself from your crimes. How can I not allow that?
You are princes and generals. Can I still force you to go back?

Even if they were not the main generals but played a supporting role, it was considered as having responsibility and courage. In the end, they said nothing and went back honestly.

But Chunshen Jun had no time to be angry now, the situation was too bad.

The State of Qi fought all the way to Qufu. It would not be easy for the State of Chu to fight back. Yangguan, Chengfu and Ying were all big cities and dangerous passes. It was easy to lose them, but how much effort would it take to get them back?

The Chu army has suffered heavy losses, its morale is low, and it is under siege. How can it have the strength to counterattack?

The situation on the Wei side was even worse, as Wei had regained all that it had lost last year.

Now that their morale is high, it is obvious that they are not easy to deal with.

Chunshen Jun calculated the troops he had now, including the previously defeated troops. After integration, excluding Xiang Yan's side, there were less than 150,000 people left.

However, there is basically no morale, and the soldiers have no desire to fight, and the generals have no will to fight.

The scouts sent out explored again and again and figured out the situation on the other side.

Qi State now has an army of 200,000 to guard the results of the war. Qi State is already very satisfied. Although there is no danger of attack at present, it is unlikely to take it back.

And the idea of ​​taking advantage of the situation cannot be ruled out.

As for the State of Wei, thanks to the desperate efforts of King Jingmin of Wei, it now has an army of more than 200,000.

The situation has completely reversed!
Chunshen Jun was completely numb.

It was originally just a war to bully patients and take advantage of them, but it turned out to be like this!

It was simply a loss of blood.

Moreover, Chunshen Jun keenly noticed the actions of the Qin State. The Qin State wanted the three countries of Chu, Wei and Qi to fight to the death!

If Qin had not suddenly sent out troops, the situation would never have turned out like this.

We must not give Qin any more chances now.

The current situation is not suitable for another fight. It is better to take a temporary truce and wait until we have recovered before trying to take it back.

While Chunshen Jun was trying to stabilize the situation, he sent an urgent letter to Shouchun, suggesting that King Kaolie of Chu stop fighting and negotiate peace.

Chunshen Jun's reputation was indeed extraordinary. After Wei Yong received support from Chunshen Jun with 100,000 additional troops and took over all power, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​advancing further and switched to full defense.

Anyway, the fiefdom promised to him has been taken, so there is no need to go through more trouble in life.

The most important thing next is to hold on, hold on, and hold on.

As for the State of Qi, they were already very satisfied.

After Hou Sheng and Tian Dan learned the news of Chunshen Jun's reinforcement, they immediately switched to defense.

The idea is the same as that of Wei State, to defend the results of the victory!
