Chapter 7 Chu and Yue Fighting

With more than 20 Qi and Wu allied forces, facing the less than [-] Vietnamese troops in front of them, if they launched a fierce attack, it would be easy to defeat the Vietnamese army.But since the Yue State was seeking peace, the Qi-Wu Allied Forces naturally stopped advancing and confronted the Yue Army in front of them.

The army of Dali continued to march straight in, rapidly encroaching on the western territory of Yue.

King Ping had already reported to King Qi about Yue's intention to seek peace, and at the same time informed King Wuyou to Qi Si.Now that Qi Si knew about the division of territory in the peace talks, he naturally led the Dali army to actively advance into the territory of Yue.

The king of Yue received the reply from the Qi State, and he could accept the territory ceded to Dali in the west, and the land in the south was also the extremely fertile territory of the State of Yue, where a lot of grain was produced, so it was really a pity to give it to the State of Chu for nothing. Unwilling.Therefore, seeing that the Qi-Wu coalition forces had stopped their offensive, they arranged for envoys to negotiate with the Qi army and delayed for some time.At the same time, it was strictly ordered that the Vietnamese army besieging the Chu army must wipe out the besieged Chu army before the Qi army rescued them.Drive the Chu army back to the border and create favorable conditions for the next peace talks.As for the land in the southwest, the King of Yue immediately ordered the Yue army to retreat as soon as possible, and retreat to the land drawn by King Ping for defense, and all other places were abandoned.This also made the Dali army led by King Wuyou to attack the city and conquer the village without any disadvantages, and the reputation of King Wuyou was even better than before.

The commander-in-chief who commanded the Yue army to besiege the Chu army was Huangfu Nianfeng, the confidant general of the King of Yue.Huangfu Nianfeng got the will of the King of Yue, and knew that he had a great responsibility, and the time limit was only three to five days.The Vietnamese army had 12 horses, and at this time they were surrounded by nearly 5 horses from the Chu army.

Huangfu Nianfeng led all the generals, looking at the camp of the Chu army in front of the formation.He and his generals all knew that the commander of the Chu army was Chu Huan, the general of the Chu State. Chu Huan fought in the battlefield all the year round. He was the number one general of the Chu State.Huangfu Nianfeng knew that this battle was related to the rise and fall of the Yue State. Only by annihilating the current Chu army, could he gain a little initiative in the peace talks with Qi State, weaken the power of Chu State, and reduce the threat of Chu State to Yue State.

Looking at the orderly Vietnamese army behind him, Huangfu Nianfeng raised the big gun in his hand and ordered to beat the drums to attack.

At the same time, in the camp of the Chu army, Chu Huan was seriously ill due to continuous battles, and was tightly besieged by the Vietnamese army, unable to receive timely medical treatment.In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Chu Huan strictly ordered not to disclose the news of his illness.Chu Huan was lying down and resting in the camp, when he heard his general come in and report that the Vietnamese army had all come out, it seemed that he had the intention of launching a total attack on the Chu army.I was so anxious that I couldn't help coughing again and again, and spit out a few mouthfuls of blood.The guards under him rushed to call for the military doctor, but Chu Huan stopped him.Chu Huan ordered the horses to be prepared quickly, and then with the help of the guards, he got on the horses and ordered the whole army to stand ready for a decisive battle with the Vietnamese army.

Chu Huan rode a war horse and passed slowly in front of the army without showing a trace of sickness on his face.When the Chu army saw the energetic General Chu, the worries of the past few days dissipated.

Chu Huan took several generals to occupy the camp, and looked out through the fence. 10,000+ Vietnamese troops had already formed formations around the camp, and they were slowly advancing towards Chu camp with big strides.And the archers of the Chu army are also ready.Behind are the shield spearmen, and the cavalry is also ready to attack at any time.

When Chu Huan was ill, he ordered the Chu army to spread antlers and branches on three sides of the camp, strengthen the fence with wooden piles, and prepare more bows and arrows.The cavalry was deployed at the south gate to prevent the Vietnamese army from attacking.

Now the Vietnamese army is still launching the final attack, and Chu Huan knows that it is time for the final battle.

Chu Huan sent an order to open the gate of the camp, and before the Vietnamese army approached to attack, he led the Chu army's cavalry first and attacked the Vietnamese army head-on.

Thousands of Chu cavalry roared, rushed out of the camp, and rushed towards the incoming Vietnamese army.The Vietnamese army was still slowly approaching, but seeing the Chu army launched a counterattack, the generals in front of the formation also swung their weapons and rushed up with the soldiers.

The two sides started a big battle in front of the Chu army camp.Although Chu Huan knew he was sick, but the battle was so important, he could only grit his teeth and lead the Chu army to fight the Vietnamese army.The pro-military guards around him followed him desperately, protecting him thoroughly.

With the frontal conflict, the Vietnamese troops on the other three sides were also approaching the Chu camp. A large number of Vietnamese troops shouted and rushed towards the Chu camp with their weapons held high.The crossbowmen and spear-throwers in the Chu camp shot their bows and crossbows at the rushing Vietnamese army.The corpses of Vietnamese soldiers were soon piled up outside the walls of the camp.

The archers of the Vietnamese army also reached the shooting range, bent their bows and set up arrows, and shot at the Chu camp. For a while, the rain of arrows was all over the sky, and the wailing of the arrowed soldiers shook the sky.

After Chu Huan rushed to kill for a while, he felt dizzy and dizzy while sitting on the horse, and fell off the horse several times.Fortunately, there were generals guarding him. Some generals saw that the general was seriously ill, and the Vietnamese army was attacking extremely violently. Today's battle must not be good. It was almost impossible to win, so he couldn't help but say that he took Chu Huan to Chu Breakthrough in the direction of the country.

Huangfu Nianfeng saw Chu Huan's handsome appearance from a distance, and had been directing people to focus on the attack. Seeing that Chu Huan seemed to have the intention of running away, how could he let Chu Huan escape? He waved the big gun in his hand and chased him himself. go up.The generals of the Vietnamese army also followed closely behind, chasing and killing Chu Huan and his party.

During the fight, the Chu army saw the commander's banner heading towards Chu, so they knew that the commander had abandoned them and fled on their own.As a result, the Chu army lost their minds, and some generals and school soldiers abandoned their positions, rushed out of the camp, and fled towards the direction of Chu.

Originally, Chu Huan was besieged and asked the king of Chu for help. The king of Chu informed Ping Wang, the commander of the Qi-Wu coalition army, and Ping Wang also promised to send troops to rescue immediately.At the same time, the king of Chu is also preparing to send reinforcements from Chu.But the prime minister Dongfang Yin suggested that the Chu State must not withdraw troops at this time. At the beginning, Pai Chuhuan only brought [-] troops and horses.This is also the suggestion of General Chu Huan, so we must not send troops now.But in fact, Dongfang Yin secretly planned for himself after hearing what King Ping said in Qi State.He has just concluded the peace talks, and he is still a popular figure in front of the King of Chu, and he is also the leader of the peace advocates in the court.However, those in the main battle in the court were extremely hostile to him, and the main battle was headed by brothers Chu Huan and Chu Qi.This time when Chu Huan was besieged, Dongfang Yin wanted to get rid of this political enemy with the help of the Yue people.And Chu Qi was stationed in Wucheng to guard against the Qi army, far away from Chu Huan, and he wanted to rescue him, but he was powerless to do so.Most of the people staying in the court were the main peace faction headed by the prime minister. They all followed Dongfang Yinma's lead and followed the prime minister's agreement, so the king of Chu listened and did not send a single soldier.Chu Huan was also a big supporter. He didn't urge the king of Chu for several days. Until today, seeing the defeat of the army, he could only break through the siege, but remembered that he didn't respond.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the Chu army, the Vietnamese army captured the Chu army's camp in one fell swoop, and then carried out annihilation and killing of the Chu army. The Chu army suffered countless casualties.Chu Huan knew in his heart that the defeat was doomed, and he was seriously ill. If he continued to run, he would only drag down his cronies. As a general, he had fought all his life and had few defeats. He was never willing to be captured by the Vietnamese army, so he walked on the way. When the generals around him were fighting, he drew his sword and killed himself, regardless of his own time.The generals under him still wanted to get back the corpse, but they were captured by the Vietnamese army long ago. A general of the Vietnamese army beheaded Chu Huan's head.

When the Chu army heard that the main general had been killed, they had no intention of resisting. They were either killed or captured by the Vietnamese army, and less than [-] people fled to Chu.The Vietnamese army won a complete victory, although they suffered heavy casualties, they finally wiped out the Chu army and regained the land occupied by the Chu army.

When the king of Chu heard the sad news that Chu Huan was killed, he beat his chest and stamped his feet, cursed that the king of Yue should be killed, and vowed to avenge Chu Huan.Chu Qi got the news in Wucheng, and he wanted to go back to court to ask for orders, and lead the army to avenge his brother.The prime minister, Dongfang Yin, was secretly proud and pretended to be sad. He urged the soldiers of Chu to attack with all their strength to avenge General Chu.The king of Chu has not yet analyzed: "The four countries sent troops to conquer Yue, the Qi and Wu allied forces won a big victory, and the Dali Kingdom won a big victory. If there are tens of thousands of horses, then the territory cut off by the Qi State will be lost so much, and the land occupied by the Qi State will have to be taken back from the Yue State.”

Seeing that it was rare for the court to reach a consensus, the king of Chu dispatched Chu Qi from Wucheng to return to the court to take command, mobilized troops and horses from all over the country, and set out for the second time to conquer Yue.

King Ping watched the fire from the other side, and saw that Chu and Yue had lost both sides in the fight. Chu State mobilized a large army again, and wanted to enter Yue again, knowing that it was time to step forward.So King Ping invited envoys from Chu, Yue, and Dali to the camp of the Qi-Wu Allied Army to discuss peace talks.It will take time for Chu Qi to assemble an army on the border of Chu State. The King of Chu sent his prime minister Dongfang Yin to participate; the State of Yue sent his prime minister Ling Shiquan to participate; It is the prince Yingjing, and the state of Qi is the prince Qi Yi and the peace king Qi Yong.

The five parties got together, and King Ping put forward his own plan for peace talks: the land occupied by the Qi-Wu allied forces shall be returned to the State of Wu; , was assigned to the Chu State; the Qi army withdrew to Xincheng, and the Yue State paid three years of taxes as compensation for the Qi army.The State of Yue has no objection to the territory occupied by the State of Wu and the State of Dali; it is unwilling to recognize the cession of the State of Chu alone.

King Ping said coldly to Ling Shiquan, the prime minister of Yue State: "The Vietnamese army had already asked for peace, but they turned their backs and besieged the Chu army. As a result, our Qi-Wu coalition army failed to rescue in time, and General Chu Huan died; you should also know that going abroad Now that the army has been assembled, Qi, Wu and Chu will join forces, can your country of Yue be able to withstand our army?"

Ling Shiquan Nuonuo didn't dare to make a sound, Dongfang Yin saw King Ping talking to him, so he stopped talking.The envoys of Wu State and Dali State both cut off a large amount of land, so naturally, only King Ping listened.Ling Shiquan had no choice but to agree to King Ping's conditions.

Dongfang Yin also replied to the King of Chu, embellishing how King Ping safeguarded the interests of the Chu State and tried to get the Yue State to cede the land to compensate the Chu State.The king of Chu saw that he could obtain the territory of Yue without using troops, so he naturally stopped fighting.Chu Qi was furious when he heard the news, but the king's order was hard to disobey, but Chu Qi controlled the army at the border, but he refused to disperse.

During the peace talks, King Wuyou just listened and did not participate in the discussion. Seeing that the peace talks were completed, he accompanied King Wuyou in the camp to handle military affairs.In his spare time, he took Ying'er to play and fish in the mountains, forests, streams and rivers around the barracks.
