Chapter 984: The Spirit Country Transfers Troops
Chapter 984 Lingguo dispatched troops
The situation was critical, and the Prime Minister of Chu did not dare to delay. He arrived in Wudu soon after the order of the King of Chu.
Taking the Prime Minister as his envoy will inevitably have a great deal of concern. Before he received him, the King of Wu felt a little uneasy.
In fact, the Wu State had analyzed many times before that the strategy of holding the lonely city of Chu State has great advantages and disadvantages, which are both desirable and not desirable.
As a result, the trip to Chu Xiang was indeed related to Xiangyang.
In the court hall, after hearing what he said, the King of Wu was a little stunned. All the ministers of the Wu Kingdom began to whisper and discuss.
"Xiangyang's food and supplies are enough to stick to for several years. How could this happen..."
"Yes, this Chu army was too careless..."
The noise lasted for a long time before it calmed down. After the King of Wu came to his senses, he asked nervously: "What does the Prime Minister mean? How can I resolve this crisis?"
"I dare to ask Your Highness to lead his troops north and make a response to our army." Chu Xiang directly named the topic.
Hearing this, the King of Wu couldn't help but take a deep breath. Now, north of the Yangtze River, the important cities and places are all Qin troops, occupying all the major transportation routes. Crossing the river like this is no different from attacking.
The ministers of Wu even looked at each other, and then Wu Xiang stood up, first bowed to the King of Wu, and then said to Chu Xiang: "Now Xiangyang is trapped, and there are enemies on all sides. How can the prime minister know about such military information?"
"There is a quick Malay report," Chu Xiang said.
Wu Xiang shook his head slightly: "From me, it is difficult to convey the military situation in Xiangyang, but it is so easy. There may be frauds in it."
"The old prime minister means..." Chu Xiang frowned slightly.
Wu Xiang said: "If the King of Qin did it on purpose, it was to make us lose our straits."
"This, this is impossible. The military information and war report is written by the general of Hanzhou." Chu Xiang said.
Wu Xiang shook his head again: "I am not saying that the military situation is false, but that this is very likely to be deliberately released by the King of Qin."
As he said that, he said: "Based on this point, we can deduce before the battle. If our Wu army goes north and the King of Qin deliberately opens a hole to make our army enter easily, and then encircle and suppress it again, what should we do?"
"When the river is in the river, my navy is enough to defend it. The Qin army is unable to cross the river. But once it goes to the land to fight, with the bravery of the Qin soldiers and the numerous encirclements, the Wu army will not only not be able to save the Chu army, but also the main forces of the two armies will fall into the north of the Yangtze River."
"This, this..."
His words made sense, and Chu Xiang was speechless for a while.
When the King of Wu heard this, he widened his eyes, felt deeply scared, and said repeatedly: "The old prime minister's words are reasonable, and the words are reasonable."
"This, Your Highness, the war in Xiangyang is related to the survival of Jiangnan--"Chu Xiang was very anxious, but he was criticized and had nothing to say, so he could only ask for a sad request.
"Oh, Xiangbang." The King of Wu was also full of anxiety and worry. "The old prime minister just now had a clear understanding of the situation of the war. You should understand this. It's not that I don't want to help Chu, but that the situation is so we can't go north at all..."
There is no need to say much about the result of this court debate. Wu Xiang pointed out the key points. No matter what, the King of Wu could not use his main army to die in vain.
At the end, he lobbled all kinds of things, but the Prime Minister Chu had no choice but to shake his head and sigh, leaving Wu in disappointment.
On the other side of Chu State, Yang Zhao was also reporting the situation to the King of Chu.
"Weichen has sent a large number of people to search the whole city, but he has not seen Cui Ji's family."
"Hateful!" The King of Chu was furious and couldn't help but smash the bamboo slips in his hand to the ground, and said sternly: "This traitor! I am going to tear him into pieces!"
There is no doubt that as a strategist, Cui Ji must have made all preparations as he was preparing for his family to secretly cross the river.
Therefore, the King of Chu was very angry. A few days later, the news about Chu Xiang also came back, which made him even more angry.
In anger, his anger could not help but move to Wu. He couldn't help but curse in the court hall: "Mr. King Wu! He has been repeatedly, only caring for himself! There is no alliance! If the Wu army hadn't suddenly evacuated Linzhang, how could our Chu army be like this!"
"There is also the old man from Ling King! He kept saying that the Three Kingdoms Alliance would definitely help me once the war started, but now he is still watching the wall! It's so shameless!"
The king was furious, and the ministers stood below, their waists bent even more, and no one dared to leave the line.
The Wu army did not send troops in this incident, which also disappointed Xiao Yuan somewhat.
At the same time, Lingguo.
During this period, not only did the Chu envoy come here, but the Wu envoy is also lobbying the Ling King to send troops as soon as possible.
After receiving the envoys of the two countries again, King Ling also raised the question in public whether he could send troops now in the court hall.
The strategist Cheng Ping was the first to stand up and said: "Based on the current situation in the south, the King of Qin is sieging Xiangyang for a long time. Once Hanzhou is defeated, the Qin army will inevitably meet and force the Yangtze River to cross the Yangtze River. At that time, our country will participate in the war again, which will be of little significance."
"Therefore, I think that now the troops are sent, and the King of Qin's 500,000 troops are all on the Jiangbei Front. In order to pacify Xiangyang, the troops cannot be mobilized, and our army can take this opportunity to capture Xuandi."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Zu stood up: "I am asking, at the moment, the Qin King's southern expedition is at a critical moment, and he is unable to seize Xuandi, so he can dominate the entire Southeast and make our country completely invincible."
"The old minister also agreed." Ling Xiang also said: "This time the dispute between the north and the south, the King of Qin is bound to win the south of the Yangtze River. Our country's troops are not to help Wu and Chu, but to lay a solid foundation for the future struggle between the world. Xuandi plays a crucial role in the strategic layout of the southeast."
From the discussions of civil and military ministers, we can see that the Ling Kingdom's goal was to occupy the entire southeastern territory of the empire. In the end, it was a confrontation with Qin Cheng in the upper left and lower right.
The Spirit King would not care about Wu Chu's life or death. In his heart, if the Qin King recovered Jiangnan and had to Xuandi again, it would be completely acceptable.
What I fear most is that Qin State and Wu and Chu State have not obtained any land.
Therefore, it is inevitable that the Ling Kingdom will send troops in this battle, and it is also a matter of time.
Since the opportunity for the war had arrived, after thinking for a while, the Spirit King decisively issued the king's order:
"As long as you follow the order!"
"Even if Huang Zu is ordered to lead the army, advance westward, and capture Xuandi!"
"I accept the order!" The latter raised his robe and knelt down and clasped his fists.
"Bu Shuo is the deputy general, assisting Huang Zu and handling military affairs."
"Cheng Ping is joining the army."
"Ye Gui followed the army to fight and obeyed the orders in front of the tent."
"Yin Dian was the pioneer of the Western Expedition."
"Zhu Wei is the former general..."
In this appointment, the Spirit King dispatched many generals, and it goes without saying that General Ye Gui, Yin Dian and Zhu Wei were also extremely brave and had been on the battlefield for many years.
