Helu also looked disbelief: "Yes, where did he get so many soldiers from the Tang Kingdom? Did the doctor read it wrong?"

"I can't believe it either. Recommended: Xiangnan Xiaoxiaosheng, the new work of the great master: "The Mingyue of the Great Song Dynasty" http://m./0_1/" Wu Zixu smiled bitterly, "So I asked General Sun Wu to analyze it one or two."

Wu Zixu walked to the map and explained the deployment of the Tang army troops he saw along the way one by one.

After hearing this, Sun Wu focused his thoughts and suddenly laughed after a while: "Master, this is the Tang army's plan for doubting soldiers."

"Oh?" Helu asked, "How does General Sun know?"

Sun Wu stroked the beard with thick jaws: "The doctor was three days late for the return trip, but was it a constraint from the Tang Kingdom?"

"What the general said is exactly." Wu Zixu nodded, "I originally thought it was Fang Li's suspicious plan, but what I saw along the way was that the Tang army was definitely not like the tired army that came from Xingyang. Instead, it should be the garrison that had been stationed for a long time. I happened to be looking at it by the minister."

"This is not surprising." Sun Wu knocked on the map, "Even if the Tang army had suffered heavy casualties, there were still troops stationed in various places. As long as the tired troops transferred from various places were hidden in the original troops, the doctor would not be able to see it."

Sun Wu's analysis was very reasonable, but Helu still didn't believe that the rulers and ministers of the Tang Dynasty would fool themselves with such childish tricks, and he couldn't help but hesitate.

The Wu State deployed heavy troops on the border of Wu and Yue, and it could not be mobilized easily. The troops that could be mobilized to attack Chu, including the navy, were less than 100,000.

Zheng, Chen, and Cai Cuer'er's small country, and the whole country was full of power to attack Chu, and the country was already empty. If the remaining soldiers of Wei and Jin Dynasty could not restrain the Tang Kingdom and let the Tang army take action to attack the Three Kingdoms, the alliance of the five countries would only be left in the Qin and Wu.

King Goujian of Yue has been sleeping on firewood and tasting gall for several years since Fu Jiao was defeated, and he hated Wu to the core. If the battle against Chu cannot be decided quickly, when Yue Kingdom recovers and attacks Wu, Wu Kingdom may be in a situation of fighting on two fronts.

After hesitating for a while, Helu looked at Wu Zixu who was bowing his head and pondering: "What do you think?"

Wu Zixu pondered for a while and nodded: "The powerful generals and ministers of the Tang Dynasty are free of charge, and it is obvious that the strategies of the ministers and others are not impossible."

Helu smiled bitterly: "I regret not listening to my husband's words. If I hadn't insisted on letting my husband go to Tang, but sent troops directly, Fang Li would not have the chance to see through Mr. General Sun's plan."

But it turned out that Wu Zixu and Sun Wu did not have the idea of ​​forming an alliance with Tang in the original plan.

Qin sent Zhang Yi to envoy Wu to persuade Helu to join forces with other countries to attack the backyard of Chu at the same time, and caught him off guard. Wu Zixu and Sun Wu agreed, and the Wei, Jin, Chen, Cai and other countries were also ready to send troops.

Helu felt that if he could persuade the Tang Kingdom to join, he would be more confident in the siege of Chu Kingdom on all sides, which led to Wu Zixu's trip to Xingyang.

Helu regretted it too much, but Wu Zixu comforted: "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. My Great Wu envoys are Ming's plan, and General Sun Wu saw through the suspicious military strategy at first sight. The Great Zhou emperor knew nothing about our army's actual deployment. Therefore, even if Fang Li threatened the emperor, it would not have any impact on the battle to destroy Chu."

Sun Wu also clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, please send troops to Chu immediately. Before Yue Kingdom breathes, destroy Chu before the beginning of winter!"

Helu thought about it and finally decided to follow the advice of Sun Wu and Wu Zixu.

In mid-October, the Wu Kingdom took Sun Wu as its commander, gathered 50,000 elite soldiers in the country and 30,000 navy troops, and a total of 80,000 people rushed west along the Yangtze River.

At the same time, Zheng Hu, the king of Zheng, sent Zichan and the second general of Zizhan, led 30,000 troops across Yuchi Mountain to march into Chengfu. Chen and Cai's coalition forces totaled 50,000 to attack Fanyang of Chu.

On the other hand, the State of Wei gathered all the troops from all over the country, and once again appointed Wei Liao as the commander, leading 60,000 troops to directly invade Xingyang, the capital of Tang.

After receiving the guarantee that Qi would definitely hold up Yan, the Jin State decided to make a big bet, summoning troops from all over the world, and a total of 30,000 prisoners repatriated from Tang State, advancing westward, trying to recapture the Qingyuan and pointing his sword at Shaoliang.

Cao Cao, who received Fang Li's warning early, responded quickly and decisively gave up Qingyuan, which was easy to attack and difficult to defend, ordered the Qingyuan defenders to withdraw from Shaoliang and join the army, preparing to take advantage of the Tang army's advantage of field battles with the Jin army outside Shaoliang City to decide the outcome.

Less than half a month after the armistice agreement came into effect, the three kingdoms rekindled the war, and Jia Xu's delayed military strategy failed to take effect, and Chu and Tang were in a hurry.

The King of Chu was so anxious that he jumped straight into his feet and hurriedly ordered Jing Que and Jing Cui, Feng Hou Chou and three generals divided into three groups to put out the fire, and ordered the troops to urge Xiang Yan to quickly resolve the Qin army.

Fang Li learned about Wu's plan from Ji Zheng, and cold sweat immediately flowed all over his body.

The remaining troops of Jin State were not afraid of it. Although Wei State was in trouble, it would not force Tang State to destroy it. However, if Chu State was really destroyed by Qin and Wu, the next one would be his Tang State.

Jia Xu was sent to Zhao State, Xun Yu was sent to Song State, and Fa Zheng was sent to Wei State, and they were all on the way, and it would take some time to succeed.

Fang Li ordered Cao Ren to strictly control Luoyang, and then personally rushed back to Xingyang overnight to take charge. After learning the news, the three generals Lu Bu, Liu Feng and Xu Huang decisively gathered their troops to go north to return to the capital to aid.

The Wei army could reach the city of Xingyang within ten days. There were less than 30,000 defenders in the city and sufficient food, grass and equipment, so they could fight.

But if Fa Zheng made the Wei affairs come true, the Tang Kingdom would not need to fight this battle. Fang Li climbed the city wall and looked into the direction of the Wei Kingdom, and prayed secretly in his heart:

"Even if you can defeat the Wei army, the Tang Kingdom would be greatly damaged at that time. I am afraid that I will not be able to participate in the battle for hegemony in a short period of time. Xiaozhi, don't let my expectations down."

When the eight countries were each dispatching troops and the war was about to begin, Xun Yu's carriage and horse finally arrived at Shangqiu, the capital of Song State.

Although the Song State was not a first-class power, it was also of superior strength among the small countries of Lu, Chen, Cai, Zheng and Wei. It had a 100,000 armor in China and often relied on its strength to interfere in the internal affairs of Chen, Zheng and Lu, and therefore its surrounding diplomatic relations were very bad.

Feng Zeng, the current gentleman of the Kingdom of China, was forced to go into exile in Zheng State, but was only spared by Zheng Hu's care. After returning to the throne of Song State, eased relations with Zheng State, and diplomatic relations between the two countries became equal. Therefore, Zheng State dared to expel the whole country's troops to attack Chu.

However, Zi Feng had a great weakness - he was greedy for money and was so jealous that his relatives refused to recognize him. He had repeatedly relied on his strength to ask Zheng State and Chen State for property. Zheng Hu was extremely disgusted with this but had to give it to him.

The purpose of Xun Yu's trip was to start from his weakness of his son Feng's greed for money and try to tempt the Song State to send troops to attack Zheng.

When he arrived in Shangqiu, Xun Yu did not ask to see Mr. Feng of Song at the first time, but instead asked someone to collect various information from the market to see if there was any place to use it.

Xun Yu found something wrong with this investigation.

It turned out that the mother of Prince Tu, the current king of Zheng State, was the daughter of the Yong family of the Song State, and was named Yong Ju.

Yong was an official in the Song Dynasty for generations and was very favored by the monarchs of Song Dynasty. Gongzi Tu was born in Song Dynasty and was close to Zi Feng since he was a child. Zi Feng originally wanted to help Prince Tu take charge of Zheng State, but due to Zheng Hu's life-saving grace, he kept dragging him on.

Since this is the case, Xun Yu decided to pull the young master and help Zi Feng make up his mind.

Xun Yu first visited Zihan, the prime minister of Song State overnight. Zihan liked beautiful jade, so Xun Yu presented a pair of precious jades he got from Jin State to his preference. Zihan was overjoyed and personally welcomed Xun Yu to the study.

Zihan caressed Baoyu with love and asked casually: "I heard that the Tang Kingdom is in an emergency. Mr. Wenruo did not stay in Xingyang to share the worries of Tang Gong. What's the matter for me, Song Kingdom?"

Xun Yu didn't know the news that the Wei and Jin dynasties had entered the Tang Kingdom at this time. Hearing this, his hand holding the teacup stopped and raised his eyebrows and said, "The news from the Prime Minister is very fast."

"Where are there." Zihan carefully placed Baoyu on the treasure rack in the study room, turned around and poured himself a cup of tea. "Zheng and Chen are both under my master's nose, and of course they know their every move."

Xun Yu smiled: "The Prime Minister is planning to sit down and watch Zheng, Chen is the leader?"

"Otherwise, what can I do?" Zihan Qian took a sip of the hot tea in the cup and sighed Youran, "Zheng Hu relied on his life-saving grace to save his master and was disobedient year by year, and my master was also helpless."

The power of a pair of precious jade is indeed very great. Before Xun Yu could ask, Zihan, a genius, had already taken the initiative to reveal Mr. Song's dissatisfaction.

Xun Yu secretly paid attention to Zihan's expression and tentatively said: "Since Zheng Hu is disobedient, why not change to someone else?"

Zihan paused and showed some vigilance: "What does this mean by sir?"

"It's exactly what the prime minister thought." Xun Yu smiled gently, "I heard that Mr. Song likes Mr. Tu very much, why not?"

Zihan looked at Xun Yu quietly for a while, and saw that the other party's eyes were calm and there was no flaw in his expression, so he softened his voice: "Sir, do you think my master doesn't want it? Who told Zheng Hu to be tough? He is still sick and disaster-free, can't he kill him?"

Xun Yu quietly tasted the best tea in the cup, but smiled without saying a word.

The two were silent for a while. After all, Zihan first broke the merit and sighed deeply: "Okay, I see that the sir is also a sincere person. Let me tell you the truth. My lord has long been trying to change the king of Zheng State, but I have no excuses."

Zihan seemed to have a headache: "Zheng Hu was cautious and has not caught him yet. After all, Zheng State is not a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, so it is difficult to deal with."

"Isn't it easy to deal with now?" Xun Yu chuckled, "What excuses are there in this world that are more legitimate than the emperor's orders?"

Zihan's eyes lit up: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Having said this, Xun Yu suddenly stood up and changed into a solemn look: "Our lord is in the subordinate Song, who originally wanted to be in harmony with Song Guo. The allies are worried. Of course, our lord wants to help him, what about the prime minister?"

Zihan was very excited when he heard this. He pulled Xun Yu to have a long talk all night. After asking what the Tang Dynasty had planned, he didn't care that he had not slept all night. He boarded the carriage and went straight to the palace city to meet Song Gong.

It was just dawn, and Mr. Feng, the Song Dynasty, had just gotten up from the warm bedding. Before he could wash up, he heard the palace servants coming to report that the prime minister had important matters and asked for a visit.

Zifeng was confused and asked Zihan to invite him to wait in the side hall. After washing and dressing, he slowly swayed in. Seeing Zihan, who had always been calm, he couldn't help but say strangely: "What's wrong with the Prime Minister?"
