Chapter 174 Attacking Chu State Mi Fuchu, the king of Chu State, has not been sleeping well recently.
This may be because Mi Sichen, who was brought back by envoys after going crazy in the Yong Kingdom, behaved horribly, which made him feel sick in shock.
Even though Mi Sichen had been driven away and locked up in the palace, Mi Xichen could not sleep day and night whenever he thought of her screams and the thought of her scratching his belly and looking like insects.
Wei Nanxu, that stupid woman, why didn't she take Mi Sichen with her when she died? Leave her to come back and disgust yourself.
Mi Fuchu tossed and turned, thinking that the only way to make herself feel better now was to destroy the Yong Kingdom.
He was not afraid of fighting, and the only time he lost a battle was because he was attacked by Yong, Wei, and Qi and suffered an unjust defeat.
Now in this world, the only one who can defeat Yong is Chu.
Millions of armored warriors, with strong troops and strong horses, are invincible.
Mi Fuchu sniffed the scent of soothing incense in the air, and traced her fingers across the chest of the beloved concubine next to her.
The soft and smooth touch calmed his heart a little.
"Come on!"
Mi Fuchu shouted loudly.
The beloved concubine was woken up and looked at him in a daze, but did not dare to say anything.
Immediately, a guard came in with his head lowered and knelt outside the screen to listen to the order.
"Bring Xiang Yan back." Mi Fuchu said coldly.
Xiang Yan has been sent by him to guard the border for several a slight punishment, it is time to call him back to work.
After all, there is a war to be fought.
But before the war, Mi Fuchu still wanted to play with people's hearts.
Before the guards who exited in response closed the door of Yan's dormitory, Mi Fuchu had already stood up and was pressing on the beloved concubine.
"You said..." He teased the wonderful woman beneath him with a playful expression, "What do we men hate the most?"
"Lost." The beloved concubine said.
"Yes," Mi Fuchu kissed him and said cheerfully, "We men hate losing to other men. Whether it's kings, kings, or women."
So Chu State still has time to prepare.
Because the first one to fight with the Yong State must be the Wei State.
After this, the Yong Kingdom itself may find it difficult to live in peace.
All it takes is to add fuel to the fire, a fire of suspicion, fear and pain.
In the blink of an eye, the young master has been a hundred days old.
Jiang He personally made a thread of longevity and tied it to his soft clothes.
When the young master was not yet born, Zhao Zheng ordered Master Chang to perform divination and found the only hexagram among the 64 hexagrams in which all six lines were auspicious, the "Qian" hexagram.
Qian, the upper hexagram is Kun, which is the earth, and the lower hexagram is Gen, which is the hexagram Qian, Gen Xia Kun Shang, represents the image of a mountain underground.
"Heng, a gentleman will eventually die, good luck."
The hexagram says that everything goes smoothly and a gentleman has a good ending, which is auspicious.
Therefore, the young master was named Zhao Qian with the character "Qian".
Jiang He liked this name very much and called him "Little Aqian" when he held him to sleep.
There is no trace of his mother on little Aqian's face. His eyebrows, nose, and even the shape of his forehead all resemble his father.
At the age of a hundred days, he had become chubby from eating, and his arms were like lotus joints. He especially liked to wander around the Zhiyang Palace where spring flowers were eyes widened when he saw birds flying by; when he saw flowers blooming, his eyes widened; when the wind passed through his fingers, his eyes widened even more.
Cai Ling often joked: "The young master is glaring again, as if he is about to give some order. The slaves are scared when they see him."
Jiang He gently put on little Aqian's hat and said with a smile: "He is trying to see the world clearly. When he is older, I will take him out of the palace to play."
However, before Jiang He left the palace, Zhao Zheng was about to send troops.
The map was spread out in front of them, so big that it covered the table and had to be partially folded.
There were not only Zhao Zheng and Jiang He in the hall, but also generals Wang Jian and Meng Tian.
Although Wang Jian was brave and adept at fighting on the battlefield, he was modest, cautious and calm in his words and deeds.
"Your Majesty the Queen," he saluted, "I thought I wanted to cross the Yellow River from the west and catch Wei off guard, but Your Majesty said it would be better to attack Luoyang directly from south to north. I didn't understand, so I boldly asked the Queen to attack Show."
In fact, the Yong army had been resting for several months and was somewhat eager to go to Wang Jian was still very patient and respectful, which made Jiang He feel good about him.
She knelt down and sat next to Zhao Zheng.
The warm spring wind blew the sway of her temples, casting a dark shadow on Jiang He's bright the shadow trembled, Jiang He closed his eyes slightly.
Since Zhao Zheng called them here, he wanted to listen to her opinion.
The tranquility and laziness in the late pregnancy and the peace and sweetness after giving birth did not make her forget her mission.
It's just her decision, will they listen?
Under the gaze of the three men, Jiang He raised his hand and gently pressed it on the map. "If General Wang attacks from the west of the Yellow River, he can win; Your Majesty can also win if he attacks Luoyang directly."
Her voice is clear and gentle, like pearls falling on a silver plate, making people feel comfortable.
Meng Tian, who was sitting opposite Jiang He, was a little nervous.
For a long time, he had been looking forward to sitting and drinking with the queen, and asking her about the art of he was conquering Zhao State, he once recited the Art of War written by Jiang He himself. The serious and vigorous handwriting made his heart feel like huge waves.
Today, he was finally able to listen to her teachings in person. Meng Tian felt that his heart was beating very fast and his hands were sweating.
"In that case, that's great." Meng Tian couldn't help but say when he heard that he could win.
"We can win," Jiang He said instead, "because General Wang and General Meng are brave and good at fighting and have good strategies. But if we win like this, we will suffer heavy losses."
Her fingers slid gently and pressed on the place north of the Yellow River in Wei State.
"Here, here," Jiang He pointed gently, the shadow of his finger was long and thin, like a long sword piercing the enemy's depths, "a total of 50 soldiers and horses of the Wei State are stationed. Whether it is attacking from the west of the Yellow River, or directly attacking the Yellow River Luoyang to the south will inevitably have a head-on confrontation with these soldiers and horses."
There was silence in the hall. After a moment, Wang Jian sighed softly and said, "Wei Chen understands."
Although I understand, I don't know how to solve it for a while.
King Zhao Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Jiang He's finger and led her south.
"Then hit here."
"Yes," Jiang He said, "attack Chu."
Wang Jian suddenly raised his head, somewhat surprised: "Your Highness, please make it clear."
Jiang He looked at Zhao Zheng and saw the same thoughts as his own in his eyes.
She said harmoniously: "The purpose of attacking Chu is not to reach Shouchun and destroy Chu. It is to encircle Wei in a detour."
It turned out to be the case.
Based on the current strength of Yong State alone, if the war with Chu State continues in a stalemate, I am afraid that they will suffer heavy losses.
"Don't rush in." Jiang He's fingers struck the city like lightning and clicked on the map one by one. "Just attack Dengzhou, Suizhou, Xizhou, Chenzhou, Kuzhou... these, a total of 27 small cities. These cities Many of them are adjacent to the Wei State. If we attack them, we can use the road to outflank the Wei State and directly attack the Wei State capital. In this way, the army north of the Yellow River will not be able to rescue quickly, and it will be much easier to destroy Wei."
"Okay!" Zhao Zheng and Wang Jian were still silent, but Meng Tian was the first to applaud.
As soon as he patted it, he realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and stopped with a red face.
"But," Wang Jian still hesitated, "How can we prevent the Chu State from leading a large army to a decisive battle with our army?"
"Then we have to ask General Wang." Jiang He spread his beautiful eyebrows and smiled softly, "We must let the Chu State see our intentions, and also confuse the Wei State and make them think that we are going to fight to the death with the Chu State."
This is really difficult.
"Leave it to Gu in Wei State." Zhao Zheng nodded and said, "It's time for the people raised there to do something."
Jiang He looked slightly moved but did not speak.
Are the people raised there referring to spies sent by the Yong Kingdom? I don’t know if there is such a person among Wei Ji’s retainers.
The army set out in April and quickly captured the first small city in Chu State.
Mi Fuchu, the king of Chu, heard this in the morning and was a little startled.
He called Xiang Yan back earlier to make preparations, but he didn't expect Yong Guo to be so fast.
"What is this going to do?" Mi Fuchu said with a cold expression, "Does Zhao Zheng not want to live anymore?"
Weak countries like Wei, Qi and Yan dared to attack Chu despite being immovable.
"Give him something powerful to try!" Mi Fuchu took out the sword from her waist, "If Zhao Zheng dares to die, I will bury him!"
The weather turned hot in April, and Su Yu, who was in charge of important military affairs, was never idle for a moment, so he was always sweating profusely.
However, every time he returned to the turret next to the Guards Commander's Mansion after finishing his work, he could always see that tea to reduce fire and dampness had been boiled there.
"If the acting commander is not here, you really know how to enjoy it." Su Yu joked to his colleagues.
"It's not us," the colleagues looked a little strange and winked, "it was sent from the Royal Hospital."
Royal hospital?
Why are you so kind this year? Perhaps it was the queen's explanation.
"That little imperial doctor always asks the adults."
"Little imperial doctor, who is it?" Su Yu couldn't remember which imperial doctor he had a good relationship with.
"Miss Chen is here!" His subordinates suddenly called loudly and hurriedly left through the back door.
Only then did Su Yu see that it was Chen Nanxing who was here.
She also held the box of medicine in her hand.
"Sir." Chen Nanxing saluted gently and said with a smile.
"The benefactor is here." Su Yu said in a natural manner.
