Chapter 123: The attempt to kill Marquis Yan ended in failure!

The unusual movements of Yan State soon reached the ears of Luo State. At the same time, news also came about the unusual movements of the Hu people in the north.

"Yan State has not yet dealt with the Ronghu in the north, so it wants to interfere in the affairs of the six states?

This is not allowed. Send someone to Yan State to inform the Marquis of Yan about the unusual movement of the Hu people."

Luo Chang gave the order directly. Luo Qing asked, "Father, what if the Marquis of Yan is unwilling? The news from Yan said that he had thought of attacking Qi twenty years ago."

It is not easy to stop a monarch, especially one as stupid and ignorant as the monarch of Yan.

Luo Chang's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he sneered: "If Lin Hu fails to conquer Yan, it will be fine. As long as Lin Hu enters Yan, conquers the city of Yan, and plunders the people of Zhu Xia.

Then send out the assassins to kill him. How can such a monarch rule the country of Zhu Xia with an area of ​​2,000 miles?

Is it just because of the Ji blood flowing in his body?

Those who bring shame to their ancestors do not deserve to live in this world."

Luo Qing nodded in agreement, not thinking that killing a monarch of noble blood was a big deal, for the Luo family, the only amulets were merit and virtue.

Just like Xiong Dun committed such a big mistake in the past, but because of his contribution to expelling the barbarians, Duke Wen of Luo still let him go. This is the consistent style of the Luo family.

Luo Qing left here and began to pay attention to the movements of Linhu. He was basically certain that Linhu was going to invade because a disaster had occurred in Linyuan, north of Yan State.

"Let the family's secret side start preparing. I'm afraid the Marquis of Yan will be hit by this blow."

The State of Luo is gearing up to kill the Marquis of Yan, while the Marquis of Yan is looking forward to the State of Yan reaching its most glorious peak in history under his leadership.

In the Wu and Huai areas, the coalition forces of the four countries launched a massive attack on the Chu State. The Chu State defended itself in the mountains, and the Wu State transported all the large ships in the country out.

The Chu general looked at the overwhelming army with a gloomy face. To him, this was the sound of a death horn. The Chu State had a tradition of killing the generals after the defeat. He was not from the Xiang family, so he could escape unscathed after being defeated.

When the four countries gathered together, the prince of Wu saw the undercurrents hidden among the countries, which made him very worried. This time, the alliance was the key to the survival of Wu.

So he took the lead in making a guarantee for Wu, promising: "Don't worry, Wu's navy has sent out all its large ships, and all the people in the country who are familiar with water are here, and we will never let the Chu people rely on the power of ships to stop the coalition forces."

When the generals of Qi, Qin and Wei saw how enthusiastic Wu was, they felt relieved. At least among the four countries, there was a reliable ally.

So the three of them promised: "Prince Gaoyi, as long as we cross the river, we will seek a decisive battle with the main force of Chu, defeat Chu, or even destroy Chu, and recover the lost homeland for Wu.

After this battle, the Wu Kingdom will be able to rest easy."

When the four returned to the army, except for the worried Prince Wu, the other three all mocked each other, "Nowadays, there are far fewer people who keep their promises than before, and now there are more and more people who break their promises. My allies are such shameless people.

If we believe them, wouldn't that be like handing our lives over to the hands of beasts?"

When the two sides went to war, the four countries attacked fiercely. The Chu army was unable to stop them and suffered heavy casualties. However, the Chu general in charge of defense was surprised and said: "Among the four countries, only Wu really attacked fiercely. Qi, Qin and Wei were all hindering each other. They all wanted to send the other side's army to death."

This situation broke out completely when the Wu army suffered a heavy loss, on the battlefield where corpses and blood were everywhere.

The prince of Wu angrily waved his sword and said: "If the alliance against Chu is still like now, it would be better for all countries to retreat directly.

First let the State of Chu destroy the State of Wu, then seize Huai and Si, and then defeat the State of Qi, sweeping all the way westward across the world. This must be what you want to see.

The State of Wei initiated the Alliance of Alliances, but acted perfunctorily. How could it make other countries obey?

If you want to become the leader of the world, you should first look at what Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin did in the past.

If you can't even uphold the most basic integrity and loyalty, and still want to become a monarch recognized by the world, that's simply a dream!

What can I accomplish with you guys?

It would be better to just ask Chu to cede territory and stop the war. It is nothing more than prolonging your life. I will wait in the underworld for you to be killed one by one by Chu."

After saying this, he left the tent directly. The Wei noble had no expression on his face, as if he had not just scolded his monarch.

Instead, Qi and Qin were furious and said, "Wu is no longer the great country of 2,000 li. Even if you are a prince, can you humiliate the prime minister of a great country like this?

If it weren't for the alliance to attack Chu, I would have made him know that he had to be humble in front of a big country in order to survive."

Although the four countries were very unhappy with each other, the withdrawal was naturally just an angry remark. Since they were already here, they still had to attack, but their efficiency was further reduced, and it basically became a war of attrition.

The coalition forces of the four countries attacked fiercely, the Chu State defended, and then launched surprise attacks from time to time. Countless corpses were left on this land. The Chu State was still retreating, but because the four countries restrained each other, the Chu army's defense line could still be defeated but not collapsed.

The news that the Yan army had crossed the Qi-Yan border finally reached the front line.

The prince of Wu was about to discuss the next phase of the offensive strategy with the three countries. As soon as he arrived at the Qi army camp, he saw that the Qi army had already begun to withdraw from the camp, the stoves were put away, and the army was ready to march. The prince of Wu guessed that Qi was going to leave the battlefield, and hurriedly asked: "General, what do you mean?"

The Qi general sighed and said, "The Yan people are treacherous and have ignored the hundreds of years of friendship between Qi and Yan. They took advantage of the emptiness of Qi and suddenly launched an attack. Now the country is in danger and a large number of nobles may fall into the hands of Yan. The king summoned the Qi army back to the country.

My Lord, if we attack Chu, Qi cannot participate."

The generals of Qin and Wei also saw the Qi army preparing. They looked at each other and did not believe that Yan was going to attack Qi. They thought that the Qi army wanted to quickly raid the empty Huai and Si rivers because the coalition forces were now deep in the Chu State. Otherwise, why would they prepare their troops without notifying Qin, Wei, and Wu?

The prince of Wu believed it, and even guessed that it was Chu who did it, so he said urgently: "General, is it too late for you to return to Qi now?

If you go back now, the best outcome would be a bloody battle with the State of Yan. Regardless of the outcome, your strength will certainly be greatly damaged.

It would be better to defeat Chu first, and then the coalition forces would easily defeat Yan. Wu is willing to assist with all its strength. By then, not only will Qi be able to restore its country, but if it can gain 2,000 miles of Yan's territory, Qi will even be able to restore its hegemony as it did during the time of Duke Huan."

The Qi general glanced at the armies of Qin and Wei and said with a wry smile, "My lord, you are right. How can we succeed if we work with such a scoundrel?"

The Qi general naturally thought about conquering Chu first, but looking at the state of Qin and Wei, it would probably take a long time to conquer Chu.

So he left without hesitation. The general of Qin and Wei did not expect to be despised again, and it was the equally shameless general of Qi who cursed him directly: "Is it right to be strict with others but lenient with yourself?"

After saying this, the two of them left immediately and sent someone to report the news to the king.

When the prince of Wu found that Qin and Wei were also beginning to organize their armies and prepare to withdraw from the battlefield, he understood everyone's thoughts, and he sat down with some weakness, muttering, "Wu is going to perish."

The Chu general never expected that he would be able to wait for the news that the four countries had withdrawn their troops. He was ecstatic and passed the message to the city of Yingdu, then slowly advanced forward and recaptured the city that had been previously captured by the coalition forces of the four countries.

Compared with the intrigues among the four countries, the Qin army on the Shu plain was fighting with the Chu State with real swords and guns. After all, this was the core interest of the Qin State.

On the Shu plain, neither Qin nor Chu had dangerous mountains and rivers, nor strong cities or fortresses that were difficult to impregnate, so Chu mobilized a large number of troops here.

During the time of Qingji and Sun Wu, the State of Wu penetrated directly into Yingdu along the Xinyang Passage, which made the State of Chu attach great importance to this place and built several strong cities here.

The bloody battle between the Chu army and the Qin army was no different from the past twenty years, except that it was even more brutal.

The main battlefield was still on the side of the Three Jins, and the Chu army suffered a great loss in the first battle with the Wei Wuzu. However, the Chu army did not retreat, but insisted on fighting.

In particular, the Chu army began to strictly implement the previously formulated strategy to alienate the Three Jins. The Chu army's bows and arrows were used specifically to kill and injure the soldiers of Han and Zhao, which soon made Han and Zhao unable to sit still.

Han Houcheng and Zhao Houyong even said in private: "Is Wei deliberately using Chu to consume our strength?

He defeated the Qin State in the west. If he could defeat the Chu State and take the land of Nanyang, his strength would even reach the peak of the Jin State in the past.

How should the two countries of Han and Zhao deal with each other then?

The envoy of Chu is right. Wei Qing is a fickle villain. To form an alliance with him is like dancing with wolves. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces. "

The King of Qin was unwilling to march eastward through Hangu Pass to join the Allied forces because of Wei Houqing's betrayal. At this critical moment, Han Houcheng and Zhao Houyong also began to waver because Wei Houqing was not trustworthy.

The two even began to worry that Wei would really defeat Chu. If Wei's strength continued to expand, Zhao, which occupied a place with advantageous mountains and rivers, could retreat because of the mountains and rivers, but Han had flat land, which would be really dangerous.

In this period of hesitation, something strange happened suddenly. As both sides tested each other, the Wei Wuzu actually overturned the Chu army's formation!

Thirty thousand troops moved around in a row, broke through five camps, killed generals and seized flags, and the three hundred thousand Chu army was thrown into chaos.

The State of Wei had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. It had not even used its full strength in the previous war with the State of Qin, but now it had finally waited for the main force of the State of Chu to arrive.

The Luo State dominated the world, relying on its brave warriors who were unrivaled by anyone in the world.

Although the Wei soldiers were not as pure in their beliefs as the Luo soldiers, their fighting power was not weak. The key was that they had more people!

What’s the use of having more Chu soldiers? Once the camp is blown up, they will be like cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, and the only thing that awaits them is a panic death.

This scene not only shocked the Chu army, but also Han Houcheng and Zhao Houyong. They felt cold all over their bodies. The strength of Wei State was unbelievable to them.

"Kill Wei Houqing! Don't let him return to Wei, otherwise he will definitely break the alliance and turn around to attack Han and Zhao."

Han Houcheng and Zhao Houyong looked at each other, and at the same time they had the idea of ​​killing Wei Houqing. The State of Chu was badly defeated, and they couldn't let the State of Wei gain any advantage.

The alliance should be thrown into the trash!
