"King, Zuo Yin has sent news that King Han has officially passed on the edict to establish Gongzi lice as the crown prince."

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately laughed: "Okay, yes, Zuo Yin really lived up to the expectations of the widow and successfully helped the prince to the position of prince." Originally, the widow heard that the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Zhao had moved, and there might be twists and turns on the Korean side, but he didn't want Zuo Yin to persuade King Han so quickly. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai remembered the news that came not long ago, and Zhao Chang stabbed a sword in his body, which dispelled Han Wangli's determination to make a prince.

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but sigh: "Zuo Yin's sword was not in vain, of course, the widow will not let Zuo Yinbai suffer that sword, Zuo Yin's contribution to the Chu State, the widow will remember." ”

"The Great King is benevolent." Chen Zhen praised his hand, and then spoke: "King, Zuo Yin also sent back that although King Han has set up lice as the crown prince, King Han is very worried about Gan Mao's gathering of troops in Hangu Pass and the changes in Zhao and Wei, so King Han opened his mouth to ask for help, and Zuo Yin has agreed to King Han's request for help. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, the widow knows about this, summons it to Zuo Yin, and asks him to tell King Han that as long as other countries use troops against South Korea, the widow will not sit idly by." ”

Chen Zhen responded, and continued: "At present, in order to resist the possible attacks of various countries, King Han has gathered troops in Xinzheng, and King Han has sent his uncle to Yiyang to garrison. ”

Xiong Huai was overjoyed, and bowed his head again and again: "Okay, well, South Korea has done this, it seems that it has the determination to resist all countries, and it is not in vain to make the previous deployment." ”

As he spoke, Xiong Huai asked again: "Chen Qing, what is the situation of the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Wei now, will the three kingdoms really attack Korea?" ”

Chen Zhen responded: "Back to the king, the current news is that the Qin State has gathered nearly 200,000 troops in Hangu Pass, and Gan Mao is still there. On the Wei side, when Daliang gathered troops, General Zhaoying also made a little movement in Chendi, and whether the Wei army would ignore Chen Di and attack Han still needs to be further investigated. ”

"Okay." Xiong Huai nodded, and then ordered: "Continue to inquire about the news of various countries." ”

"Yui."

On the other side, Qin Wangdang learned that King Han ignored the persuasion and threats of the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Wei, insisted on going his own way, and made Gongzi lice the crown prince, and was immediately furious.

"Toast and don't eat and drink, since King Han is determined to stand on the side of Chu State, then don't blame the widow for being polite."

"Pass the edict to Prime Minister Gan Mao and ask him to raise troops to attack South Korea."

"Spread the edict, immediately send people to contact Zhao and Wei, and ask them to cooperate with our army's actions."

In September, Gan Mao, the right prime minister of Qin, raised troops to attack Korea.

In Yingdu, the monarchs and ministers of Chu gathered together.

"King, Gan Mao led 250,000 Qin soldiers to send a letter to Guguan, and the Qin army besieged Qudi for three days and broke it. At present, the Qin army continues to advance eastward, and has surrounded the scorched land."

"Huh?" Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Isn't it, South Korea's Qudi faces the Hangu Pass of Qin State, which is the bridgehead of South Korea, and it has only been conquered after three days of siege?" ”

Chen Zhen responded: "King, during this period of time, Uncle Gong has been sitting in Yiyang, and most of the Korean troops in the west have gathered in Yiyang, and there are no reinforcements at all in Qudi, so it was conquered in a short time. ”

"No reinforcements!" Xiong Huai's eyes suddenly narrowed: "Since the Qin State sent troops, it has only been a few days, and the widow will receive a request for help from King Han every day, which can be said to be very eager." However, now that South Korea has directly abandoned Qudi, it has not even sent its own reinforcements, which is interesting. ”

At this time, Zhao Ju smiled and said: "King, I'm afraid that Korea still has a fluke heart, and doesn't want to go to war with the Qin State, and doesn't want to completely offend the Qin State, so I want to give up some territory to the Qin State, let the Qin State dissipate its anger, and let the Qin State withdraw its troops." Also, King Han should also be worried about the slow dispatch of troops from our Chu State, and he is even more worried that the Han army is not the opponent of the Qin army without a strong city garrison.

Therefore, South Korea insisted on Yiyang, one to consume the Qin army's sharpness, the second to wait for reinforcements, and the third to rely on Yiyang Jiancheng. ”

Xiong Huai nodded with a heavy face: "Although it is right for South Korea to do this, but before, I Chu, Han, Wei and Zhao Siguo finally drove Qin State back to Guanzhong, but now, Qin State has easily opened the blockade line of various countries. ”

When Zhao Ju heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "Great King, this is actually a good thing, before the four countries blockaded the Qin State and blocked the Qin State in Guanzhong for more than ten years, so that the Qin State could not advance eastward at all. For this reason, the Qin State has been holding a breath in his heart, and he has been holding his breath for more than ten years.

Now, the Qin State has opened the gap in the east, and this breath is about to be vented. On the Korean side, the uncle personally sits in Yiyang, and Yiyang is a place that cannot be lost in South Korea.

The Qin State, who wants to vent, bumps into Yiyang, which cannot afford to lose...

Saying that, Zhao Ju arched his hand and said: "King, at this moment, it is just right for Qin and Han to consume each other, and both will lose. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he immediately smiled.

What is the situation of the Qin State, Xiong Huai knows it.

Qin's military merit system led to the fact that if the Qin State wanted to be promoted and make a fortune, they had to rely on military exploits. However, the blockade of Qin by the Four Kingdoms before made it difficult for the Qin army to get out of the pass, and they have been circling in the small circle in Guanzhong, unable to go out of the pass to conquer the city.

This is absolutely unbearable for the whole Qin State.

Just like last time, after the Qin State seized the Shangyong of Hanzhong, why did they desperately kill Xiang Yingdu, it was all because the Qin army was holding their breath and wanted to make meritorious contributions.

And now, South Korea is facing the same situation that the state of Chu faced at that time.

And Yiyang, for South Korea, is a place that cannot be lost.

Yiyang is an important town in South Korea, and Yiyang Iron Mine is the world's leading mine, which is not only not worse than the Wanmei mine in Chu State, but even surpassed. With the Yiyang Iron Mine, South Korea formed the famous Yiyang Iron Army (Iron Army) in Yiyang. In addition, the Korean sword crossbow number is the first in the world, and most of the iron sword crossbows are built in Yiyang.

Without Yiyang, South Korea will inevitably lose its national strength and even become a vassal.

It is foreseeable that if Qin attacks Yiyang, there will be a bloody battle between Qin and Han.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai's face suddenly sank: "Zhuqing, seeing that there will be a bloody battle between Qin and Han, should my Chu State enter the game immediately at this time?" ”

"The" Zhao Ju said without hesitation: "Great King, the minister is worried that if our Chu army is slow to move, and the Qin army is attacking very urgently, the minister is worried that Korea will be repeated." ”

Xiong Huai frowned and said softly: "In this way, the widow has to send troops immediately." ”

When Zhao Ju heard the tone of the King of Chu, he was a little hesitant, and he knew that the King of Chu did not want to use the army of the State of Chu to fight for Korea.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ju arched his hand and said: "King, although my Chu State wants to send troops, there is no need to go to war with the Qin army for Korea.

With the current war situation between Qin and Han, it won't be long before the Qin army will definitely arrive in Yiyang.

At that time, if the Qin State took the initiative to withdraw its troops, it would be our Chu army to help Korea repel the Qin army, and our Chu State would also fulfill its obligations as an ally. If the Qin State attacked Yiyang, then let the Qin army fight well.

With more than 100,000 Han troops in Yiyang, plus the fortified city and many sharp weapons in the city, the Qin State had to touch a few teeth.

And outside the city of Yiyang, I only need to watch the battle between Qin and Han from a distance, and I don't need to participate in it, as long as I contain a part of the Qin army, so that the Qin army can't attack the city with all my strength. ”

"Troops now?" Xiong Huai hesitated for a moment when he heard Zhao Ju's suggestion, then looked at the radiant Zhao Ju, and then looked at the silent rhino head on the side, and couldn't help but shake his head.

It is indeed a good strategy to let the Qin army and the Han army consume each other under Yiyang City.

However, Xiong Huai's hesitation was not whether to send troops, but who to send to lead the troops.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai shook his head: "This matter is very important, and the widow has to think about it!" ”

Soon, in a side hall in the palace, Xiong Huai and Gongsun Yan sat opposite each other.

"Rhino head, I don't know what Ling Yin said just now, what Qing thinks."

Gongsun Yan smiled and arched his hand: "Ling Yin's strategy is the most beneficial to the Chu State." ”

Xiong Huai nodded, and then asked, "I don't know who the rhino head thinks can lead the troops to the battle." ”

Gongsun Yan was silent for a long time, until Xiong Huai was a little impatient before responding: "It must be Ling Yin." ”
