Soon, Chu Xiangzhaoju used water attack to annihilate the 200,000 armies of Wei and Song in one fell swoop, and Chu broke the Qi and Song coalition forces and captured more than 90,000 virtues of the Qi and Song coalition forces in one fell swoop.

Song State Shangqiu.

As soon as the king of Song heard that the fifteen armies he had sent to attack Chu had killed more than 80,000 in the battle of Huaibei, more than 30,000 troops were captured, and another 30,000 troops were missing, he immediately fell into panic.

For two days in a row, the king of Song was all in a panic, worried that the crown prince would take advantage of his great strength to raise troops and stand on his own, just like he did forty years ago. On the other hand, they were more worried that the Chu people would take advantage of the situation to kill him and ask him for his guilt, and then the Song people in the country would sell him to apologize to the Chu people when they saw that the opportunity was not good.

Then, in the fear of King Song, Song Chen Tang Ying found King Song.

"King, good news, General Cao Yun, who followed General Qi Kuang Zhang, has news."

When King Song heard the good news of the remaining 30,000 Song troops, his spirits immediately perked up, and the fear on his face was slightly soothed, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is General Cao now?" ”

"On the border of Wei and Song, General Cao wrote that Huaibei was defeated, and in the Chu land of the Wei and Song wars, Chu people from all over the country rose up, so he did not dare to take the Yingdong shortcut to return to China, but took a long detour with Kuang Zhang and returned to China from the original border of the Chu, Wei and Song Kingdoms.

Now General Cao is leading 30,000 generals to garrison the border, and has sent two letters, one for guilt and the other for instructions. ”

As he spoke, Tang Ying immediately presented two silk books.

King Song took the silk book and unfolded it, and saw that the 30,000 Song troops in Cao Yun's hands were not damaged, and had been brought back to the Song Kingdom by Cao Yun, not only let out a long breath.

Fortunately, Cao Yun is still loyal to him, and he is not confused, and he did not take the Yingdong shortcut.

Otherwise, once Gongzifu stationed in Yingdong took the opportunity to seize the command of the army, then he would completely lose the military power of the Song State, and in this way, he would be completely finished.

However, the king of Song looked at the last paragraph of Cao Yun's letter of plea, which said that Gongzifu did not send troops to connect the defeated troops of Qi and Song, but stayed in place and did not move.

Seeing this, King Song's worry suddenly dissipated half, and Gongzifu didn't make a move, which means that Prince Zizhen didn't do it either, so he didn't have to worry about Prince Zizhen taking the opportunity to rebel and not being able to sleep.

It's just that when he thought that Chu General Tang Wu had already recovered Chendi, and while he was sitting in Chendi, he sent his troops west to Shangcai, and then he became worried again.

The last time the five countries invaded the Chu land occupied by the Chu State, now the territory occupied by the Wei State has been recovered by the Chu people, once Huang Jun conquered Shangcai, then the Chu land occupied by Korea was also recovered by the Chu people, so that the Chu State still has the remaining lost land, then it is only the Yingdong land occupied by the Song State.

It was not a big deal to return the land of Yingdong, but the king of Song was worried that the Chu people would take advantage of the situation to enter the Song state, and then besiege Shangqiu.

The three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song were newly defeated, and the remaining armies of the Song State were all Chu troops under Prince Zhen, once the Chu people attacked, he had nothing to do.

Thinking of this, King Song suddenly had a chill, and then after thinking hard, he looked at Tang Ying and asked: "Xianqing, now that the widow has been defeated for a while, he has fallen into a great crisis of internal and external troubles, I don't know why Xianqing taught me." ”

Tang Ying heard King Song's inquiry, and immediately frowned deeply, as the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, now the five countries are newly defeated, the Song State is no longer a defender inside, and there is no reinforcement from all countries outside, at this time, King Song has no choice, and he has no way to agree.

After being silent for a while, he saw King Song's increasingly expectant gaze, and just when he was about to ask King Song for his guilt when he had nothing to do, he suddenly found that in just two or three days, King Song was getting older and older.

Although King Song's eyes are still bright, the wrinkles on his face and the snow-white hair on his head all show King Song's old age.

At this time, Tang Ying suddenly remembered that the King of Song in front of him was already eighty years old.

The fact that a monarch is still so strong at the age of 80 is a miracle that is rare in a thousand years.

Thinking about it, Tang Ying's mind flashed with inspiration, and he arched his hand and said, "King, the minister has a way." ”

"What's the solution?" King Song suddenly perked up.

Tang Ying responded: "King, the minister's method is to show weakness. ”

"Showing weakness?" King Song looked at Tang Ying hesitantly, now the Song State still needs to show weakness, the first battle lost 120,000 elites, this is already the loss of the elite, the Song Kingdom has never been as weak as it is now, such a Song State, even if the King of Chu thinks with his feet, he can imagine how weak the Song State is.

At this time, Tang Ying explained: "The king, the minister does not mean that the Song State shows weakness to the Chu State, but that the Great King shows weakness to the crown prince and the King of Chu. ”

King Song asked puzzledly, "Is there a difference?" ”

"Yes." Tang Ying arched his hand and said: "The current situation of internal and external troubles, one lies in the prince, and the other lies in the state of Chu, therefore, only the king needs to show weakness to the prince, and ask the prince to temporarily preside over state affairs on the grounds that he is ill." In this way, one can stabilize the prince, and the other can stabilize the Chu state through the prince.

And the king of Chu saw that the king had retreated into the background, and the prince was presiding over the overall situation of the Song State, so with the relationship between the prince and the Chu State, the king of Chu would definitely not raise a division to fight. Then, we only need to ask the prince to return the Yingdong land we occupy to the Chu State, so that the trouble of the Chu State will be solved.

At the same time, the king can also take advantage of the prince's negotiation with the state of Chu to transfer loyal people from all over the country to Shangqiu, and when the army arrives, the king has mastered the overall situation of Shangqiu, and the internal worries will also be solved. ”

When King Song heard this, he muttered hesitantly: "Show weakness, retreat behind the scenes, and give power to the crown prince······"

After pondering for a long time, King Song looked at Tang Ying hesitantly and said, "Is there any other way for Xianqing?" ”

Hearing this, Tang Yan slowly shook his head in the expectant gaze of King Song, and then persuaded: "The king doesn't have to worry about the prince, this time the prince didn't act with the Chu people, otherwise..."

Soon, the crown prince Zhen entered the palace and saw King Song lying quietly on the bed, and suddenly showed a suspicious look, and then cautiously saluted forward.

After Prince Zhen bent down, he waited for a while, but he didn't hear King Song's voice asking him to be exempt, and he couldn't help but hesitate to look at King Song on the bed.

This look couldn't help but make the prince Zhen greatly discolored, only to see King Song's face full of sickness, although he was lying quietly on the bed, but his tightly locked eyebrows all showed that King Song was falling into deep worry and self-blame at the moment.

Especially the wandering gaze, and the saliva slowly overflowing from the corners of his mouth, all showed that it seemed that his father's spirit was no longer here at this time.

Seeing this, Prince Zizhen couldn't help but sigh with pity in his heart: his father is already eighty years old, and he is completely old.

At this time, the waiter on the side saw that King Song did not respond, so he couldn't help but step forward and gently prompted King Song.

Then, seeing that King Song still did not respond, the waiter raised his voice again and reminded King Song again.

King Song still didn't react.

Seeing this, the waiter raised his voice again, and only after repeating this did King Song react.

Then, King Song said in a weak voice: "The prince is here, the widow... The defeat of Huaibei ······"

Just when King Song was babbling nonsense in front of Prince Zhen, at this time, thousands of miles away, King Wei's hands trembled, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked at the information in his hand, and his heart was full of anger and despair:

"Huaibei was defeated, the 150,000 army was annihilated, and the whereabouts of the general Gongsun Xi are unknown..."

“··· Damn, Gongsun mistook me..."

"Poof..."

King Wei spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then passed out directly on the throne.

The other side.

Sinzheng, South Korea.

Han Wang Jise was also shocked and said: "In the first battle of Huaibei, the Chu State beheaded and captured 300,000 coalition troops, and only Yu Kuangzhang led 100,000 Qi and Song coalition troops to flee.

Chu general Tang Wu has conquered Chen Cheng and Shangcai...

The Wei-Han coalition withdrew overnight, the Qin-Han coalition withdrew overnight, and Gan Mao also led the army to flee overnight...

The Five Kingdoms were defeated and returned...

If this Chu State takes revenge, how should the widow be good, you must know that the king of Chu treats me like a parent, and the first thing I did after I ascended the throne was to order the Han army to continue to attack Chu.

If the king of Chu is angry..."

At this time, when Uncle Han Xianggong heard this, he immediately comforted King Han and said: "Don't worry, the king, although the five countries returned with a fiasco, my Korean army did not suffer much loss, and what should really be worried now is Wei and Song, especially Song." ”

"What Xiangguo said is, however, the state of Chu and its slight price have hit the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song hard, so when the king of Chu teaches the two countries of Wei and Song a lesson, and then sends troops to attack me, what should the widow do?"

"This..." Uncle hesitated for a moment, and it was not impossible for Chu to send troops to attack Han.

At the beginning, the state of Chu was in danger, and the king of Chu could still comfort the king of Han with good words, but now that the state of Chu is powerful, will the king of Chu turn around and teach South Korea a lesson?

It's not impossible...

Then, King Han hesitated for a long time, then slammed the king's case, stood up from the throne, and then said in an unquestionable tone: "The king of Chu treats me like a parent, and I haven't seen the king of Chu since I ascended the throne, which is really rude."

Therefore, the widow decided to go to Yingdu to worship the king of Chu, in order to understand the widow's heart, the widow has always treated the king of Chu like a father, it was like this when he was a son in the past, it was like this when he was a prince, and now he is the king of Han, I am still like this..."

Handan, Zhao looked at the intelligence in the south, and couldn't help but sigh: "The plan will not change, the plan is up to the people, and the success is in God..."

King of Qi and King Qin: "···"
