Chapter 126: King Chu is furious

Pang Kuo led the Wei army, chasing Long Chuan all the way like chasing chickens, and did not give up until Long Chuan led his troops into Nanwuyang.

However, Pang Kuo did not retreat, but hoarded his troops under Nanwuyang, and dispatched his general Yu Chixin to lead his troops to attack Zou County. place.

Pengcheng, Chu Palace.

After the news of the defeat of Qixiang City came back, the King of Chu was furious and yelled at Long Ao for being useless and Long Chuan for being useless.

After venting, the King of Chu finally calmed down, and said to the ministers, "The front line was defeated, a hundred thousand troops, ten pavilions went to Qiting, most of Lu County fell, what do you think should be done?"

The senior doctor Chen Ding came out and said: "Your Majesty, now we can only send reinforcements to contain the Wei army's offensive. However, General Longchuan's defeat will probably be a big blow to the morale of the army."

Thinking of this, the King of Chu felt a headache. It is not a problem to increase troops. Chu State still has soldiers and horses. In addition to guarding Jiujiang and guarding against Wu State's soldiers and horses, Chu State still has 10,000+ troops that can be mobilized. It is not a problem to block Wei's army. But the question is, did Long Chuan, who was the best player in Chu State, lose?Do others still dare to go?

"Doctor Chen have any suggestions, but it's okay to say." King Chu frowned.

Chen Dingdao: "My lord, now that the Wei army is victorious, the momentum is like a rainbow. Even if we send additional reinforcements to support General Long, at most we can only stop the Wei army, but we still cannot regain the lost land of Lu County. After all, the Wei army won most of Lu County. Wei Wangding We won’t just hand it over like this, if we increase our troops, Wei State can also increase its troops, but the only way for now is to invite Qi State to send troops, and combine the forces of the two countries to defeat Wei’s army.”

The King of Chu believed that it was impossible for Lu County to give up. The King of Chu was over [-] years old this year, and he had been the King of Chu for most of his life. He was about to go to the ground, so he won Lu County by relying on the Battle of the Central Plains. These two counties, Taishan County and Taishan County, finally have some merits and can go to see the ancestors, so how can they give up Lu County, but it is difficult to recover the lost ground with the strength of Chu State alone, it seems that we can only invite Qi State Troops are dispatched.

The king of Chu said: "Forget it, then send someone to Linzi, Tao Shao, I have ordered you to go to Linzi as an envoy, and I must persuade the king of Qi to send troops!"

"Here!" Tao Shao came out and said, since he was successfully sent as an envoy to the Deng country and made an alliance between Chu and Deng, Tao Shao's status has been getting higher and higher, and now he is the grand master of the Chu country.

When Tao Shao packed up everything and was about to leave Pengcheng for Linzi, news suddenly came that the Qi army raided the Song State and destroyed Song in World War I, and Wei State did not interfere in the whole process, allowing Qi State to destroy Song State. It is very intriguing.

After the king of Chu received the news, he quickly called a group of ministers to discuss the matter.

"Masters, what do you mean by Qi State, to destroy Song at this juncture? And Wei State, the leader of Song State, is indifferent?" Chu King asked puzzled.

Chen Ding sighed and said, "Your Majesty, it seems that Qi Guo and Wei Guoding have reached an agreement."

"Chen Qing, what do you mean by that?" King Chu asked puzzledly. Qi State is a traditional ally of Chu State, so there is no reason to reach an agreement with Wei State.

Chen Dingdao: "Your Majesty, the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. Now it seems that Wei State attacked Lu County, and Qi State destroyed Song Dynasty. It seems that it has nothing to do with it, but Qi State is our great Chu tradition Allies, now that Chu and Wei are at war, even if Qi does not send troops to help immediately, it will watch the development of the situation, but now it is strange to destroy Song, which is very abnormal."

"Furthermore, Song State must be a small country under the protection of Wei State, and when Lu State is destroyed, Song State is Wei State's bridgehead against our great Chu and Qi State. It stands to reason that Wei State will not sit back and watch Song State be destroyed. In particular, it was still destroyed by Qi State, but Wei State just did so, and there are various signs that Qi State must have reached an agreement with Wei State, on the condition that Qi State gave up supporting the Great Chu, and tacitly allowed Qi State to destroy Song Dynasty." Chen Ding analyzed. road.

Sitting on the throne, the king of Chu was flushed with anger. After listening to Chen Ding's analysis, he said angrily, "Han Zang, a shameless villain, dared to betray his allies. I can't spare him."

"Then Doctor Chen, is it still useful to go to Qi as an envoy now?" Tao Shao asked Chen Ding at the side. Originally, he planned to go to Linzi today, and he had packed up all the salutes. Do you want to go?

Chen Dingchang breathed a sigh of relief: "Qi State has made up its mind, what's the point of going again? Besides, now that the main force of Qi State is in Jibei County, do you think King Qi will give up Jibei County for the sake of Chu State?"

Tao Shao shook his head, King Qi is not stupid, how could he give up Jibei County for the sake of Chu State?This is the long-standing territory of Qi State.

"Then what else can Chen Qing do to help the widow regain Lu County?" The King of Chu no longer had any hope for Qi Guo, so he asked Chen Ding if there was any other way.

Chen Ding thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, now we can only invite Deng Guo and Chen Guo to send troops, but the most important thing is Deng Guo. As long as Deng Guo is willing to send troops to attack Wei Guo's rear, Wei Jun will definitely retreat, and Lu Jun can do it." Recover, but I heard that last year Deng Guo suffered a once-in-a-century flood, and the domestic food shortage, I am afraid it will not be so easy to agree."

"Isn't it just food? He doesn't have food in Deng State, but I have it in Da Chu. Tao Shao, go to Wancheng, ask King Deng to send troops, and tell him that there is no food in Deng State, but I have it in Da Chu. The food and grass that Deng Jun needs The widow will do it for him.” The king of Chu was rich and powerful, Chu State occupied Xuzhou and Jiujiang, these are the major grain producing areas in the Central Plains, Chu State has nothing else but a lot of grain.

"Here!" Tao Shao replied, he couldn't help complaining in his heart, Chen Ding said that Deng Guo was hit by a disaster last year, and it was not easy to persuade Deng Guo to send troops.

Chen Ding said again: "Your Majesty, Master Tao is going to Wancheng. Even if Deng Guo agrees to send troops, I'm afraid it won't work in a month or two. Therefore, we need to increase troops to Nanwuyang. Otherwise, when the Wei army breaks through Nanwuyang, The loss would be great."

The King of Chu nodded and gave an order: "Zhang Di obeys the order. I order you to lead [-] troops to support Nanwuyang. You tell Longchuan to the widow. If you can't defend Nanwuyang, I will kill him!" For Long Chuan, King Chu was really disappointed, but he had to use Long Chuan again, so he asked Zhang Di to warn him.

"Here!" Zhang Di responded.

Soon, Tao Shao led the mission to leave Pengcheng, and Zhang Di also led [-] Chu troops to support Nanwuyang.

Tao Shao didn't dare to stop any time along the way. He first went to Chencheng, the capital of King Chen, and conveyed King Chen's intentions to King Chen. After hearing this, King Chen decided to send troops to support Chu without hesitation.

After persuading King Chen to send troops, Tao Shao went to Wancheng without stopping. It was already April when he arrived in Wancheng. Deng Sheng.

In Qianyang Palace, Kong You told Deng Sheng Tao Shao's request, and Deng Sheng hurriedly summoned the important ministers to discuss.

"Zhuqing, what do you mean by Chu State? Do you want to invite the widow to send troops?" Deng Sheng asked.

Cui Haodao: "Probably so. Judging from the current situation, the Qi State must have reached an agreement with the Wei State. Otherwise, the Qi State will destroy the Song Dynasty, and the Wei State will not respond at all. From this point of view, the Chu State must definitely Please don’t move Qi State to send troops, the only one who can help Chu State now is Deng Deng.”

"Then Zhuqing thinks, how should I reply to Tao Shao?" Deng Sheng asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty, don't agree!" Shang Shu ordered Jiang Wan to come out and said, "My Majesty, the floods last year caused our country to consume most of its food reserves in order to relieve the disaster. Now the domestic food reserves can be sustained until the autumn harvest. Last year, my minister and I Your Majesty has said that no troops will be dispatched this year."

Last year's floods made Jiang Wan very worried, and now he has finally survived the disaster. The two counties in the south have just stabilized, and the food can support the autumn harvest. If troops are sent out at this time, how will they survive before the autumn harvest?
"Your Majesty, I don't agree to send troops, let's not talk about food. Last year our army just fought a battle with Han in Wuguan, and the soldiers and horses have not recovered. If we send troops again, I'm afraid the soldiers will have opinions." Minister of the Ministry of War Su Hong said.

Deng Sheng nodded, since no one agreed to send troops, then just refuse Tao Shao.
