Chapter 721 Before attacking Qin
Since the Nine Kingdoms’ battle for hegemony, the Ling Kingdom has participated in several major wars. When it destroyed Jin, it took the opportunity to annex the emperor’s territory. When it destroyed Yan, it obtained several counties and a large amount of spoils, and the battle to expel foreign enemies not only relieved its worries, but also gained huge benefits. It can be said that it was too early to get up without profit.
To this day, the status of the overlord of the eastern part of Ling Kingdom is undoubtedly. Not only is it rich in financial resources, but it can be adjusted, but it has more than 600,000 troops, forming a state of left and right confrontation with Qin on a large territory.
There is no doubt that in the heart of the Spirit King, Qin was the biggest threat. Only by eradicating Xiao Yuan can he complete his hegemony in unifying the world.
It is precisely because of this that this joint attack on Qin was achieved.
With the strength of the Ling Kingdom, it is no surprise that he is the leader of this alliance. This time the alliance is also very grand.
After the alliance, the four kings submitted their letters of state and stamped the hall. However, this time, there was already someone on the main seat directly above.
After the scene was finished, the Ling King also spoke first: "The alliance has been signed, but before the attack on Qin, I have to say something."
All the three kings looked at him.
King Ling continued: "It has not been once or twice since the various countries jointly attacked Qin. Why did they fail? To the bottom of it, it is because the Allies are not united enough and have their own ulterior motives. This will give the King of Qin a great benefit, and the exhaustion of the Allied forces, and the previous Jin State is the lesson of the past."
Hearing this, the King of Chu couldn't help but say: "The King of Jin planned to ignore the overall situation, and the second was that the Liang Kingdom suddenly joined the war at that time, which led to the defeat of the Allies."
"The brother of Chu is right." King Ling said: "But now the six countries in the world are united against Qin, and it is no longer the same as those of Qin. Therefore, the key point is that the alliance unites. Only when the nations are united can they truly destroy the violent Qin. Otherwise, they will be a mess of sand and will be defeated one by one by the King of Qin."
"Well, this is reasonable, what are your plans for Brother Ling?" King Wu nodded in agreement.
King Ling didn't tell the truth, and said bluntly: "I want to use Huang Zu as the commander of the Allied Army, Huangfu Ye, Hanzhou, and Xiang Ge as the deputy commander, the Allied Army should be unified as military orders, and the whole country should be united."
The three kings subconsciously looked at each other.
Understanding their concerns, the Ling King said again: "Of course, if General Huang Zu has failed in command or does not consider the overall situation of the Allied Forces, he can be appointed as the commander."
This statement has already shown the determination of the Spirit King to destroy Qin. When the other three kings heard this, they first thought about it, and then the King of Chu said: "Okay! If you want to destroy Qin, you must do this. Since you have already formed an alliance, how can you dare not obey the orders of the leader of the alliance?"
The King of Wu also said, "Just do it like this, but I said that in front of you, if Brother Ling does not take the major destruction of Qin first, don't blame me for not following it!"
"But please don't worry! The alliance letter is here!" The Ling King was shocked immediately.
Seeing this, King Huan also smiled and echoed: "Haha, the old general Huang was in the battlefield and had few defeats in his life. It is really appropriate to be the commander of the Allied Army..."
Huang Zu, a famous general of a generation, naturally knew about this person's ability. After pausing, the King of Wu said again: "How to destroy Qin, what are the plans for the initial military strategy of the Allied Army?"
When the King of Ling heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to completely advance into Qin and open up the battle situation, there are only two roads to go, namely Shanyuguan and Ningyang."
As soon as he finished speaking, the King of Wu said, "It is inappropriate to use troops from Ningyang. With the navy of the Wu army going up the river, it will be impossible to break Ningyang in the short term. Instead of doing so, it is better to concentrate your efforts and break Shanyuguan. Once Shanyuguan is broken, the gates of Qin will be opened and the entire territory will be in danger!"
The reason why he said this was somewhat related to the two defeats in Ningyang, which had some psychological shadows.
The most important place in Qin State is Shanyuguan, and everyone understands this principle.
The King of Chu also said, "I think what the King of Wu said is right. Concentrating superior forces is the best strategy. You don't have to worry about anything. As long as you break Shanyuguan, you can drive straight into Qinzhou! Once Qinzhou is broken, Qin will be destroyed, and Shu can be destroyed by a blink of an eye."
"Well..." The Spirit King nodded slowly and said, "Okay! The Allies will use Shanyuguan as the first battlefield. However, if they want to face this gate, they must first attack and destroy Yiyang and Puyang. These two places are like passages to Shanyuguan. Only by occupying this place can they have no worries."
When the three kings heard this, they nodded one after another.
The Ling King said again: "After the decision has been made, the Allied forces should send troops together in early April. At the same time, our Ling Army will take the lead in capturing Yiyang and other places. Huan's army will turn north and take Youzhou as its strategic goal, and strive to cut off Zhao Mu's unit and contact the main force of the Qin King."
"This, this..." King Huan was a little anxious and asked him to face the Qin army alone. He was obviously a little unwilling to do so. As a result, King Ling frowned and looked at him. Then he swallowed and laughed dryly: "Okay, okay."
The coalition forces had a preliminary plan and there was no delay after the alliance. The four kings began to return to their homeland and prepare to dispatch troops.
At the same time, King Ling also sent envoys again as the leader of the Allied Army to enter the Xuan Kingdom court and invite King Xuan to join the alliance.
A few days later, Xuanguo Chanting Hall.
After the spiritual envoy came in, he bowed his hand and bowed to him first.
King Xuan was wearing a royal suit and a king's crest on his head. Nine strings of jade beads covered her general appearance. He was behind the king's case and raised his hand slightly: "The messenger is exempted from gifts."
"Thank you, Your Highness." The envoy straightened his body and then directly reported his purpose: "Now, the four countries have already joined forces. As the leader of the allied army, my king is here to come down and sincerely invite Your Highness to join the alliance. If the whole world is united, he will destroy the tyrannical Qin, welcome the emperor, and return to the old capital."
The Four-Nation Alliance and the Qin army's out of Ningyang have long been reported, so the ministers of King Xuan are not surprised.
Prime Minister Yao Tingyu pondered for a moment, and was about to leave the line, but King Xuan raised his hand slightly and pressed down.
This was to signal him not to say much, so he could not understand the latter, so he had to return to the train and bow slightly to stand.
Then, King Xuan smiled slightly and said calmly: "I have already known what the envoy said. There is no problem with the alliance. It's just that the Xuan Kingdom has been somewhat unstable in the army recently. This matter needs to be rectified before the morale of the army can be given."
Who would say that the morale of the country's army is unstable in front of the envoys of other countries is obviously a rude word.
The envoy was about to speak, but King Xuan followed, "Of course, the five countries destroyed Qin, and Xuan State was absolutely strongly supported. The invitation to join the alliance was definitely accepted. But I still have to give me some time. I also hope that the Allies can understand the difficulties of Xuan State."
"This..." She said this, what else could the spiritual envoy say?
This meeting will undoubtedly end in perfunctory excuses.
