Chapter 612 612. Drink the soup
"Now that the State of Qi has attacked the Song Dynasty, and the State of Zhao is at war with the State of Wei, for my State of Chu, it is the wisest choice to fight the Song Dynasty with the State of Qi!" Qu Yuan looked at Hou Weilong and said.
Hou Weilong was shocked when he heard Qu Yuan's words: "You said that the Qi State attacked the Song Dynasty? ”
"That's right, now that the Qi State has seized a large part of the territory of the Song State, we can't organize a coalition army at all, and we can't confront the Qi State alone, so for us, it is the wisest choice to carve up the Song State with the Qi State!" After Qu Yuan finished speaking, he sighed.
This is a helpless move for the Chu State, once the Song State is destroyed, the national strength of the Qi State will be greatly improved, how should he Chu State face the Qi State at that time?
Qi Guo is an opponent that Chu State has to face, watching the opponent get stronger and stronger, and Chu State is still stagnant, he Qu Yuan is face is helpless and physically and mentally exhausted.
"I understand, Qu Shangqing!" After Hou Weilong heard Qu Yuan's words, he also understood that this was a helpless move by the Chu State, and it was impossible to stop the Qi State, so he could only unite with the Qi State and attack the Song State together, so that he could get some benefits from the Chu State.
Of course, he Chu must send troops quickly, otherwise when Song City's Song City is breached, and Song State is all included in the territory of Qi State, he Chu State is fighting Song State, which is equivalent to starting a war against Qi State.
Therefore, he must take advantage of the situation to attack before the Song State is destroyed, so as to seize a large part of the territory of the Song State and the core city of the Song State, Song City.
"Shangqing, don't worry, I'll dispatch troops and horses to launch an attack on the Song Kingdom!" Hou Weilong Qu Yuan said.
"Go quickly, it's too late, my Chu State may not even be able to drink a soup!" Qu Yuan looked at Hou Weilong and said.
And after Wei and Zhao got the news, Zhao Yong looked at the excerpt: "This Qi State is really an opportunistic person, while I am at war with Wei, he actually invaded Song State!" ”
"At this time, it is impossible for my Zhao State to join with Wei to fight the Song Dynasty, more importantly, we have captured the three granaries of Wei, and if we want to unite with Wei, we must exchange granaries, which is also impossible, for our Zhao State, grain and grass are too important, we have captured these three Wei granaries, which can ensure that our Zhao State has a huge grain storehouse, and when we fight with the enemy, we are not afraid of a protracted war!
It was impossible for Zhao Yong to give up these three granaries, and after getting these three granaries, the biggest drawback of the Zhao War was solved.
Therefore, Zhao Yong can give up the Song State, the Song State is gone, and it will take a while for the Qi State to absorb the national strength, and during the period when the Qi State absorbs the national strength, as long as it can be effectively organized into a coalition army, it is still no problem to attack Qi together.
"Let this Qi State get the Song State, and when our war with the Wei State is over, we will join forces and launch an attack on the Qi State together!" Zhao Yong looked at the minister on the side and said.
Although Zhao was unwilling to swallow Song, he was unable to stop it, after all, he did not have enough troops to send to Song to support Song.
If he wants to support, this Wei State may launch a counterattack, and when the time comes, all the spoils he has just obtained may be handed over.
"What we have to do now is to prepare for the defense and wait for a decisive battle with the Wei army in the early spring of next year!" Zhao Yong said to the minister on the side, this war book has been given to King Wei Hui, King Wei Hui did not look like facing the battle, he knew that King Wei Hui was not given a fierce battle by the method of fierce battle, so he had to switch from attack to defense.
waited until early spring, when Wei counterattacked, he was competing with it.
Wei State Liang.
The invasion of Song by Qi has reached the hands of King Hui of Wei, Wei and Qi are allies, and they still need the help of Qi in the early spring of next year, and for them, Zhao is the biggest enemy, and they need to regain their lost territory.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of Qi told us that they attacked the Song Dynasty in order to enter Wei in the early spring of next year to support our Wei State in a decisive battle with Zhao State!" Uncle Gong looked at King Wei Hui and said.
Although Qi said so, Qi State's ambition has been exposed very clearly, that is, to seize the Song State, a country with sufficient resources.
But what can he do if Wei Guo knows? He is an ally of the Qi State, and now that the Wei State is being invaded by the Zhao State, how could he Wei give up this ally of his own for the sake of a Song State.
As far as Wei is concerned, they know about this Qi State and Song Dynasty on the surface, and they have not made any signs of supporting Song State.
After the Qi army broke through the cities of the Song Kingdom, they slaughtered the cities to deter other cities in the Song Kingdom and make them surrender quickly.
Some of the timid city lords, they all opened the city and surrendered, and Kong Fujia, the head of the 100,000 elite soldiers of the Song State, sat in his mansion, and he didn't know what he should do.
Take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with the Qi State, I am afraid that if I encounter the Qi State, I will be easily slaughtered by the Qi State, and stick to the Song City, because of the hundred years of peace, the Song City is no longer the Song City of a hundred years ago, with a strong city wall.
Song City had developed into a thriving commercial city, and the city walls were gone, except for a few symbolic military watchtowers.
If the Qi army arrives here, this Song city is unsafe to defend, and it is a plain, although there are countless buildings, you can have a street battle with the Qi army, so that the Qi army will suffer huge losses.
Because the Song city was full of houses, and the alleys were one after another, the cavalry of the Qi army could not give full play, so they could only send infantry into the alleys to fight with the people of the Song State.
And the Xiang Guozi of the Song State was big-hearted and called on the Song people of the Song State to carry out street battles with the Qi State.
However, Kong Fujia was worried that the Song State would not send troops to engage in street battles with the Song State, but would burn down the Song City with a fire.
However, there are huge finances and funds in Song City, what is the purpose of Qi Guo's war against Song? Isn't it for this huge resource?
Therefore, he thought that the State of Qi would not burn it down with a fire, but would send troops into Song City, suppress it alley by alley, and then enter the Song Palace, the center of Song City.
Therefore, outside of Song City, the big merchants who were in power in the Song State did not intend to fight with it and let it plunder, what they wanted to do was to protect Song City, a city that had accumulated half of the treasures of the Song State.
If you can win the Qi State in the street battle, and wait for the early spring of next year to get the help of the princes diplomatically, what is the difficulty in recovering the Song State?
And just when the Song State had already figured out how to deal with the powerful Qi State, the Chu State in the south had already entered the Song Kingdom.
The city of the Song State on the border between the Song State and the Chu State did not expect the Chu State in the south to attack directly and inexplicably.
Hou Weilong entered the Song State with 300,000 Chu troops, because the troops of the Song State were all transferred to Song City by Kong Fujia, and there was no army to defend these cities.
Under the attack of the powerful Chu State, they were powerless to parry at all, and Hou Weilong also knew that he had to march quickly, otherwise it would be difficult for the Chu State to drink soup.
