After all, his impression of the Chu army was only that of large numbers of soldiers and generals, but what was the strength of Chu's soldiers? Just look back at the time when Wei Gongzi Run led an army of 50,000, but he was able to suppress Xiang Mo's army of 500,000 and

This can be seen from the fact that Shouling Jun Jingshe has an army of 100,000. Although there are various other reasons for this, it still shows that the soldiers of Chu are far less brave than those of Wei.

"Don't you want to give it a try?" Licking his lips, Huan Hu whispered: "If we can help the Lu country survive this disaster, you and I will definitely be regarded as honored guests by the Lu people.

When a country is appointed as a general or prime minister, it is extremely valuable to be cheered from the front and supported by the back."

In fact, Chen Shou didn't dare to be interested in this. Seeing Huan Hu's enthusiastic expression, he snorted and said lightly: "I hope you won't lose all your savings over the years."

"Hey, hey, hey." Huan Hu glanced at Chen Shou angrily, then licked his lips, his eyes filled with the light of ambition.

Two days later, Xiang Mo's army arrived at "Huling".

From Huling to Rencheng, this area already belongs to the sphere of influence controlled by the Wei army.

I still remember a while ago, when they learned that Wei Gongzi Zhao Run succeeded in a sneak attack on Ningyang, Qi General Tian Dan and Lu General Ji Wu were worried that the Wei army would sneak attack on Lu State, so they left Rencheng where they had succeeded in the night attack and sent their troops northward, making

The Beibo Army of "Xiang Ding (Song Yun)" could only defend Rencheng alone, resisting the army led by the three Wei generals Li Ji, Cai Qinhu, and Zhou Kui.

Although Zhao Hongrun had previously ordered Li Qi, Cai Qinhu, and Zhou Kui to slow down their offensive and try to delay the attack, the Beibo Army under Xiang Guan's command still could not withstand the Wei Army's offensive against Rencheng - there was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the Wei Army was in

The advantages in terms of equipment are huge.

All in all, the Beibo Army was finally forced to abandon Rencheng after holding on for half a month.

The three Wei generals, Li Ji, Cai Qinhu, and Zhou Kui, deliberately delayed for a few days after retaking Rencheng, and then continued to attack Huling.

Since Huling's city defense was not comparable to that of Rencheng, Xiang Yu could only lead the Beibo Army to retreat to Tengcheng, hoping to rely on the geography of "Weishan Lake" to block the Wei army's advance.

While waiting for the Chu general Xiang Mo to lead an army of 100,000 to Huling, three Wei generals, Li Ji, Cai Qinhu, and Zhou Kui, were supervising the construction of warships on the west bank of Weishan Lake. To put it bluntly, they were deliberately delaying time. After all, "

"The Pseudo-Song Dynasty" only left Tengcheng on the other side of Weishan Lake. Before Prince Zhao Run released the full strength of their three armies, how could Li Qi, Cai Qinhu, and Zhou Kui dare to go against the plans of His Highness the Prince?

strategy, in order to prove his bravery, let the "pseudo-Song" be eliminated early?

This is why when Xiang Mo arrived in the Huling area, he was surprised to find that he did not see any tension in the battle from the state of the local Wei army.

Regarding the arrival of Xiang Mo, the three Wei generals Li Wei, Cai Qinhu, and Zhou Kui were more or less on guard, especially the dredging army led by Li Wei. This army had fought against Chu twice in the past ten years.

The army of the state is fighting. Even though Wei and Chu are now in alliance, it is difficult to let go of the guard in my heart.

In order to show goodwill, Xiang Mo entered Huling County alone with only a few soldiers, visited three Wei generals, Li Ji, Cai Qinhu, and Zhou Kui, and explained his purpose of visit: "Xiang is leading the charge this time."

The army came here at the invitation of Mr. Zhao Run of your country to take over from Yan Ling. The Shang Shui army responded to Tian Dan and asked several generals for permission."

Of course the three Wei generals Li Ji, Cai Qinhu, and Zhou Kui knew that Zhao Hongrun was stationed in Ningyang just to wait for the opportunity to sneak attack on South Korea, but they really didn't know that His Highness the Crown Prince of their country actually invited the Chu army to come and take over.

Cai Qinhu complained about this and felt that Zhao Hongrun should leave this battle to their three Wei armies.

Of course, complaints are complaints, and the three generals actually understood the considerations of the crown prince of their country: Tian Dan is undoubtedly a hard nut. If he wants to crack this hard nut, even the Wei army will probably suffer a lot of casualties. Since there are

The idea is to let Chu's army take the risk and fight fiercely with Tian Dan. Why let their Wei army take action? Isn't it good to preserve their strength?

Anyway, even if Chu State knew that they had been tricked by the Crown Prince of Wei State this time, they still had to express their gratitude.

With a mixture of humor and emotion, Li Qian said to Xiang Mo: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our country did not notify us of the arrival of your army before. Please ask Li to send someone to confirm this with His Highness the Crown Prince. Please forgive me."

Xiang Mo was not angry about this distrustful move. After all, after Chu and Wei experienced the "Five Parties Conquering Wei" and the "Battle of Yongqiu", let alone the Wei people, in fact Chu and Wei had a thorn in their hearts.

There is also some resentment towards the Wei people in people's hearts, but "harmony between Wei and Chu" is the current general policy of the two countries, so the Wei people and the Chu people can only contact each other cautiously, but I believe that after a period of time, this situation will change.

Something has changed.

"Our army has traveled a long way to get here, and we just happened to do some repairs here." Xiang Mo said without any hesitation.

On the same day, Li Qi, Cai Qinhu, and Zhou Kui, as landlords, hosted a banquet in honor of Xiang Mo and the generals of the Chu State under his command. The 100,000-strong army led by Xiang Mo also made preparations in Huling.

, and obtained some food supplies from the Wei army.

Two days later, the news that "Chu General Xiang Mo arrived in Huling with an army of 100,000 people" was spread to Zhao Hongrun's ears by a messenger from the Junshui Army.

After getting the news, Zhao Hongrun took a long breath and thought: The Chu army who came to take over has finally arrived.

Thinking of this, he immediately sent out the Green Crows to inform Li Ji, Cai Qinhu, and Zhou Kui to let the Chu army go.

Immediately, he sent someone to invite Lu Wang Gong Shupan over again, and said to the latter during the banquet: "Because of the willfulness of the little king, I troubled the king to come here to meet the little king for some time, and I wanted to come to the country.

The Lord must be missing his wife, children, relatives and friends at this moment. Today, Xiao Wang will hold a banquet to see the Lord off. After drinking this meal, the Lord will return to Qufu."

After hearing what Zhao Hongrun said, Prince Lu Shupan couldn't believe his ears.

He always believed that Zhao Hongrun forced him to come to Ningyang in the name of having a drink together, just to put him under house arrest, and even threatened the Lu State with him. However, he never expected that this battle was far from over, but Zhao Hongrun put him under house arrest.

Let it go.

"Do you really want to let me go?" Prince Lu Shupan asked in disbelief.

Hearing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled and said: "I, Zhao Run, will keep my word. Since I said I am inviting the king to have a drink together, then I am going to have a drink together. But..." At this point, he glanced at Gong Shupan and said sternly: "But, drink

After this farewell meal, the friendship between the king and the king, and the friendship between Wei and the state of Lu, has come to an end. If we meet again someday, if the situation does not change, I will regard the king as the king.

, will regard Lu as an enemy."

"..." Lu Wanggong Shupan was shocked when he heard this, and then responded with a wry smile.

The contradiction between Qi and Wei can no longer be reconciled. If the Lu State insists on being a companion of Qi State, then naturally it will be impossible to maintain the friendship with Wei State and Wei Gongzi Run, and they are destined to become enemies.

After a while, Lu Wanggong Shupan said sincerely: "I have lived alone for decades, and it is a great comfort to be able to meet a hero like Mr. Zhao Run."

After that, he toasted Zhao Hongrun with a glass of wine.

After the banquet that day, Zhao Hongrun kept his promise and released Prince Lu Shupan.

Two days later, when the Chu general Xiang Mo was about to lead his army to the Ningyang area, the Wei army under Zhao Hongrun changed from its previous passive and inactive state, moved in full force, and brazenly seized control of the outfield, bluffing Ditian into thinking that the Wei master opposite him was

Run finally couldn't hold back and prepared to attack him, and subconsciously adopted a defensive attitude.

As a result, that night, Zhao Hongrun only left a few thousand soldiers to guard Ningyang and several military camps outside the city, and led his Yanling Army and Shangshui Army to quietly move northward.

Two days later, Qi General Tian Dan waited for two days without seeing any action by the Wei army. He felt something was wrong. When he sent a special agent to investigate the Wei camp, he found that Ningyang and the Wei camp outside the city were actually hung up.

Flags with the words "Chu", "Three Pillars" and "General Xiang".
