Chapter 1290: What a Thing
"Zhang Xiu, the scout is dead, have you ever told where the coalition forces are hiding?"
Emperor Chu asked urgently, and the generals' eyes converged on Zhang Xiu, all of them showing anticipation.
"Hengyang City!"
"Your Majesty, the scout said out of Hengyang City, but if you want to say something, you are already dead!"
Zhang Xiu's determined voice sounded, and Emperor Chu looked at Bai Qi, bowed his head frequently, and muttered to himself: "Sure enough, hiding in Hengyang City, the Han army of the Qingyun Empire chasing King Xiang should have arrived in Chu after calculating the time." ”
Emperor Chu had a lot of thoughts in his mind, guessing that a big battle was coming, his eyes flickered, and he secretly thought that he was finally going to fight with the soldier immortal Han Xin.
"Order, send troops, go to Hengyang City to meet the coalition forces!"
Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Wu Zhaoyun turned around and withdrew from the government, and Na Yaa passed the edict of Emperor Chu into the military camp, Ran Min, Wei Qing, Huo Quai, and Li Cunxiao quickly assembled the army.
An hour later.
Outside Jingyang City, the three armies of Chu gathered together, and all the generals were wearing battle armor and holding soldiers, full of fighting spirit and murderous appearance.
Rumble!
Rumble!
The sound of horses' hooves came in the city, and Emperor Chu came with Xiang Yu flying on a horse, Xiang Yu learned that the Han army was coming, so he recommended himself, hoping to fight side by side with Emperor Chu, kill the Han army to avenge the death of Xiang Liang and many soldiers on the bank of the Wujiang River.
The hospitality was difficult to refuse, and Emperor Chu could not refuse.
In a few breaths, the two came to the front of the army, this time to meet Han Xin's army, the soldiers of Chu State will pour out, and there will be hundreds of people in a single battle, and Emperor Chu decided to defeat the Han army in a battle, and the threat of the coalition army was eliminated, and they were completely allowed to get out of Chu.
The generals led by Bai Qi, Yue Fei, Ran Min, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing stayed on Emperor Chu, and only waited for him to give an order, and the army marched to Hengyang City.
Right now.
At the end of the wilderness, a fast horse galloped over, kicking up thousands of feet of smoke and dust, and a person and a horse came to Emperor Chu in an instant.
"Slave Secret Guard, meet Your Majesty!"
"Why did you come in such a hurry?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the coalition army and the Han army that are hiding in Hengyang City have withdrawn!"
The secret guard spoke, Emperor Chu was surprised, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he muttered: "The coalition army and the Han army have really withdrawn!" ”
"It's true!"
"At dawn, they gathered to send troops to Jingyang City, but for some reason on the way, they suddenly turned around and left."
The members of the dark guard looked firm, a sonorous voice sounded, the generals looked puzzled, and the coalition army went around and around for two months, and finally withdrew like this?
It's a bit bizarre and incredible.
"Yue Fei, Huo Qubing listens to the order, the two of you lead the army under your command to Hengyang City, if the coalition army does withdraw, you will be stationed in the city, five days later, Wuchu counterattacked on the whole line, attacking Qingyun, Qingchao, and Nanshang Three Kingdoms, and at the same time waving the army to the Loulan Empire."
"Order!"
"Order!"
Yue Fei, the second general of Huo Quai, took the order, turned the horse's head, and left with the army under his command, and Emperor Chu ordered other generals to return to Jingyang City with their troops to standby.
Han Xin's sudden withdrawal of troops was too bizarre, even if Emperor Chu was puzzled, but he was very sure that if the Han army withdrew and gave up attacking Chu, something more important would happen, and perhaps there would be greater interests waiting for them to seize it.
The abrupt withdrawal must have hidden mysteries.
The three armies returned to the city, the Chu Emperor flew the ink dragon back to the palace, and ordered Xiao Guizi to find Liu Bowen, the Han army was gone, the biggest enemy did not exist, and the Chu army just took this opportunity to make a comprehensive attack and sweep the surrounding countries.
Emperor Chu decided to discuss with Liu Bowen and waved his army to capture Qingyun, Qing Dynasty, Nanshang, and Tubo.
"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there is no need to attack the surrounding countries at the moment, this move is not appropriate, at the moment, Wuchu should recuperate, alleviate the losses caused by years of war, and at the same time rapidly develop the economy, expand troops and horses, and make long-term plans for the future."
"Why did Berwyn say this, now that the war dragon, the white tiger, and the soldiers and horses of the Han Empire have all left, it is the best time to take the opportunity to sweep the surrounding countries."
"Eighteen enemy countries unite to attack Chu, the enemy can come, and I can also go."
Emperor Chu didn't know what Liu Bowen meant, and now that God had a good opportunity, why didn't he approve of sending troops to attack the nations, which made Emperor Chu a little surprised, and thought that Liu Bowen would agree with his deployment.
"Your Majesty, there are three reasons why you don't attack the nations!"
"First, through Jingyang, Nanyang, Wujiang three battles, the world, the effect is very significant, Wu Chu soldiers will be mighty, famous all over the world, the kings of the countries have long been frightened birds, if your majesty wants to take it, you can go at any time. But in this way, the land of Wuchu stretches for thousands of miles, although the territory is wide, but the troops are insufficient, once the earth-shattering war breaks out, the soldiers of the three armies can only march desperately, but they cannot reach the front line of the battlefield in the first life. ”
"Second, the surrounding countries are all subordinate forces of first-class powers, and Your Majesty will send troops to attack at the same time and rapidly expand the territory, which will surely arouse the hostility of all powerful countries against Wuchu again."
"Third, and the most important willingness, to seize the territory of the following countries, Wuchu will shorten the distance between the first and second grade powers, they will raise troops to attack, and they can arrive in an instant, with the current strength of Wuchu is not enough, to resist the army of the first product and the four national alliances at one time."
Liu Bowen said out loud, three reasons, there is indeed some truth, the current strength of the Chu State is not enough to resist the army of the four countries, but even if they don't attack the surrounding countries, the Great Qin, the Great Han, the Great Khan, and the Longtang Four Kingdoms want to attack Chu, will they give up because of the distance?
The answer is no, so Emperor Chu insisted on going his own way, and he must destroy the Qingyun, Qingchao, and Southern Shang Kingdoms, as for Tubo, Ancient Rome and other empires, he can not touch it now, this is his last bottom line.
"Berwyn, I Chu is a strong general, the strength is enough to seize the Qing Dynasty, Qingyun, and the Three Kingdoms of Nanshang, I have made up my mind to attack the Three Kingdoms, if I don't take the land of the Three Kingdoms, how to deter the world."
"I want to tell the kingdom of Heaven that there is a price to be paid for entering Chu, and at the same time, I don't want the matter of the Eighteen Empire Alliances to happen again."
Liu Bowen saw that Emperor Chu's intention to send troops could not be shaken, so he bowed with his fist: "Weichen listens to His Majesty, so he will send someone to summon the generals to come." ”
The voice fell.
Liu Bowen turned around and prepared to leave the study, he knew that he could not change Emperor Chu's mind, so he could only go all out to dispatch everything needed for the army and ensure the follow-up supply.
"Your Majesty, it's not good!"
Liu Bowen had just walked to the door, Xiao Guizi came in a hurry, and almost hit him, Emperor Chu followed the sound, and the eyes of the two converged on Xiao Guizi at the same time.
"Why are you so flustered!"
"Your Majesty, King Zhao of Xifu has fought with Xiang Yu in the barracks, the situation is urgent, and the slave is rude!"
"This"
When Emperor Chu heard Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu fighting, his eyes widened and he was horrified, Li Yuanba can be called the number one killer in the United States, and the overlord Xiang Yu is also the first god of war in the United Nations.
When these two people fight, they are either dead or injured, how can this be done?
