The Qi army camp in the north of Juyang City.

Kuang Zhang looked at the secret edict sent by Qi Wangdi and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as the envoy of the King of Qi read out the edict just now, asking him to launch an offensive against Juyang with all his might, he was suddenly startled.

What is the current situation of Juyang, there is a large army guarding inside, and Zhaoju is supporting outside, especially Zhaoju, this guy, relying on the advantages of the right time, place and people, will raid the coalition army besieging the city every once in a while, so that Su He, the lord of the Song Kingdom, has been terrified under the surprise attack of Zhaoju, and every time he attacks the city, he puts half of his efforts on dealing with Zhaoju.

On the Wei army's side, the situation is even worse than that of the Song army, as the main target of Zhaoju, Gongsun Xi has been raided by Zhaoju for most of the year, although the losses are not big every time, but the successive defeats have already made Gongsun Xi's heart chaotic.

At this time, Gongsun Xi's mind was no longer on attacking Juyang, but on trying to get back face from Zhao Ju.

If the Song army can still exert five points of strength in the attack on Juyang, then the Wei army can only play two points, and the remaining eight points of strength are preparing for a big battle with Zhaoju who does not know when it will appear.

Of course, the Wei and Song armies are like this, and his Qi army is also not optimistic, under the repeated sneak attacks of Zhaoju, he, the main general, is also tired of coping, and even, in order to deal with Zhaoju, in order to rescue the Wei and Song armies, in order to reduce losses as much as possible, he is also exhausted.

And a few days ago, after he heard about the changes in the Yingdu of Chu State, he had already lost hope of capturing Juyang at all.

Therefore, as soon as he heard the news that the King of Qi was going to attack Juyang with all his might, he was extremely repulsed in his heart, but before he could refuse, the messenger of the edict gave him the secret edict of the King of Qi again.

Looking at the plan on the secret edict to consume the strength of the four kingdoms of Qin, Wei, Han and Chu as much as possible, Kuang Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, Qi Wangdi was still a virtuous king, and he was not confused by anxiety and conceit.

As for how to fight next!

Kuang Zhang couldn't help but sneer when he thought of the news that the King of Chu had gone to Wancheng.

At this time, a soldier's voice suddenly came from outside the tent: "General, Wei General Gongsun Xi and Song General Su He are visiting." ”

When Kuang Zhang heard this, he immediately knew what they were coming for, so he smiled and responded, "Please." ”

"No."

Soon, Kuang Zhang saw the arrival of Gongsun Xi and the others, and immediately asked: "The two generals are visiting together, I don't know what to do." ”

When Gongsun heard this, he remembered that he had received the edict of the King of Wei, making him disdain to entangle the Huaibei Chu army at all costs in order to create an opportunity for the Han North, and he couldn't help but feel irritable in his heart.

After several months of fighting, losing one after another, not to mention losing face, he still has to come to Kuang Zhang now, and the grievances in his heart are difficult for outsiders to know at this moment.

However, fortunately, he already knew that the envoy of the King of Qi had just announced the edict to let Kuang Zhang attack Juyang with all his might, and this time he came to ask Kuang Zhang to attack the city with all his might, and he should not be troubled.

But the general will not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, who knows what Kuang Zhang thinks, so in order to ensure that Kuang Zhang will not disobey the monarch's order and passively slack off, he still came to the camp in person, and he must have Kuang Zhang's personal promise to be at ease.

Thinking about it, Gongsun Xi immediately responded: "General Zhangzi, I have received an edict from the widow, hoping that our coalition army can attack Juyang with all its strength to contain the Chu army in Huaibei.

Moreover, I heard that the King of Qi also meant the same thing, so that I came here to discuss with the general how we should attack Juyang next. ”

On the other side, as soon as Su He heard Gongsun Xi's words, he immediately echoed: "General Zhangzi, I have also received an order from the widow to attack Juyang with all my might. ”

As he spoke, Su He looked at Kuang Zhang nervously and expectantly.

Compared with Gongsun Xi, Su He was even more apprehensive in his heart.

Unlike the two great powers of Qi and Wei, the national strength of the Song State was far inferior to that of the two countries of Qi and Wei, and it was also inferior to the Chu State.

Since the news that the king of Chu issued an edict not long ago, and the Chu people responded one after another, the Song Kingdom was really frightened.

The Song State is small, but the Chu land that the Song State now occupies is the most among the five countries, and now the anti-Japanese war mood of the entire Chu State is high, and reinforcements from all over the country continue to gather, in this case, the Song State instantly fell into a pessimistic state for the future occupation.

At this moment, the whole Song Kingdom, especially the King of Song, are all in a state of panic, if the Five Kingdoms defeat Chu this time, then what should the Song Kingdom do next.

The weakest country occupies the most land, in this case, as long as the Chu State repels the siege of the Five Kingdoms, and then if the Chu State does not fight the Song State to retaliate, it must not be the luck of the Song State, but the head of the King of Chu was kicked by a donkey.

Once the Chu State retaliated, the power of the Song State could not be stopped at all.

Therefore, the outcome of this battle was a battle related to the national fortunes of the Song Kingdom in the next few decades.

Thinking of this, Su He spoke again: "General Zhangzi, General Xiwu, I have received the news of the widow, in order to win this war, our country has decided to go all out, and all the Song troops stationed in Shangqiu and Yingdong will be transferred to Juyang to break Juyang." ”

When Kuang Zhang heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Su He hesitantly.

As for the situation of the Song Kingdom, he was very clear that there were 20,000 Song troops stationed in Shangqiu, which was to take risks in case of the Song Prince's Zhenling.

The 50,000 Song troops in Yingdong were to ensure the grain routes of the Qi and Song armies and suppress the rebellion of the Chu people within hundreds of miles of Yingdong.

The armies of these two places were not only vital to the Song king, but also to the Qi state.

Yingdong guaranteed the Song army of the Qi and Song coalition forces, not to mention, the key is the Song army of Shangqiu, once Shangqiu is empty, in case the prince suddenly attacks, then the Qi country will lose the entire Song country.

Thinking about it, Kuang Zhang immediately frowned and said: "General Su, the determination of the Song army to defeat the Chu State has been felt in the future, but the Song army in Shangqiu Yingdong cannot be separated lightly, has the King of Song thought it through this?" ”

Su He knew Kuang Zhang's worries, but when he remembered that the matter of transferring troops was the result of mutual negotiation and compromise between King Song and Prince Zhen, he responded: "Please rest assured General Zhangzi, at this time, the widow has a complete strategy, after the Song army in Yingdong leaves, the Huaibei Song army will be led by Gongzifu to defend it, and the back road of our Qi and Song coalition forces will not be cut off." ”

When Kuang Zhang heard this, he immediately looked at Su He in horror, this Song Kingdom should not have rebelled.

If he remembers correctly, the Huaibei Song army in Gongzifu's hands is all composed of Song people who were Chu people a few years ago, although these Chu people have become Song people, but the entire Song people in Huaibei can all regard themselves as Chu people, and now those Song people are still using the language and writing of Chu and even the customs and laws of Chu State.

Except that the person who ruled them was the prince of the Song State, the rest of the country was no different from the Chu State.

Now the Song State asked Gongzifu to lead a group of Chu people to guard the grain routes of the Qi and Song countries, this kind of operation that insults IQ, what else can the Song State do if he is not a mutiny!

Thinking about it, Kuang Zhang looked at Su He, remembered that the Song King of the Song Kingdom, who was almost eighty years old, suddenly asked Su He: "General, the King of Song has been fine." ”

"The Widow..." As soon as Su He was about to respond, he immediately reacted, and Kuang Zhang asked not King Song's physical condition at all, but whether the Song Kingdom had undergone great changes.

Thinking about it, Su He saw that Kuang Zhang and Gongsun Xi were all staring at him tightly, so he immediately spoke: "Please rest assured, the two generals, our country will definitely not play with major events related to the national fortune, after all, Prince Zizhen is a Song person no matter what, and what Prince Zizhen wants is not a broken Song country that is hundreds of miles in size." ”

When Kuang Zhang heard this, he didn't believe Su He's words at all, and it was impossible for him to hand over the fate of hundreds of thousands of Qi troops to a group of Chu people who rebelled at any time.

Thinking about it, Kuang Zhang smiled and said, "That is the case, then the general will be relieved." It just so happened that Ben Jiang had just received an order from the widow to attack Juyang with all his might. In this way, we and the other three countries will work together to win this war."

As he spoke, Kuang Zhang looked at Gongsun Xi and the others with a difficult face: "However, now that our army's morale is low, and Zhaoju is constantly harassing outside, it is difficult to attack Juyang with confidence with our current strength."

Therefore, what this general means is to wait for all 70,000 Song troops to rush to Juyang, and when we have enough troops to deal with Zhaoju, we can attack Juyang with all our might.

Therefore, at the moment, we are still mainly contained, and I don't know what the two of them think. ”

When Gongsun Xi heard this, he was also worried about the rebellion of the Song people, so he immediately echoed: "General Zhangzi is reasonable, I would have thought it was feasible. ”

Seeing this, Su He knew that they wanted to confirm Song Guo's position next, so he responded: "Good! ”
