Chapter 404 The arrow is on the string

Later that night, Prince Wei Shen, dressed in plain clothes, knocked on the door of the Vietnamese Embassy in Anyi City.

Faced with the sudden visit of Crown Prince Wei Shen, the Yue envoy, although somewhat unexpected, warmly welcomed him into the room.

For the Yue State at this moment, after choosing to be an enemy of its neighboring country Chu, Wei State, the most powerful country in the world, is undoubtedly an important help.

Once the state of Chu launches a war against the state of Yue and has the strength to help the state of Yue against Chu, the only one in the world who can count it down will be the state of Wei.

Facts have proved that the judgment of the Yue envoy was correct. As an uninvited guest, Wei Shen told him a piece of extremely important news for the Yue State.

When they heard that the Chu State might be about to start a war with the Yue State, the Yue State envoys did not dare to be negligent and immediately conveyed the news back to the country as quickly as possible.



In the country of Yue, all the countries will be in charge.

"What!"

The report sounded in his ears, causing Yue Wang Wu Zhuan to stand up from the throne in shock.

Staring at the person in front of him, Yue Wang Wuzhuan confirmed again: "Xiang Guo, do you really mean what you said?"

"Absolutely true."

Facing Yue Wang Wu Zhuan's questioning, the expression on Yue Xiang's face was full of solemnity.

While taking out a silk book from his arms and handing it to King Wu Zhuan of Yue, the Prime Minister of Yue reported in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is the news sent back by the envoy from the Kingdom of Wei."

"According to the information obtained by the Wei State, the King of Chu has decided to lead an army of 100,000 troops, led by Sima Jingshe, to attack our country of Yue."

"In addition, the Chu State's ally Qi State seems to be preparing to assist the Chu State. The army on the border may attack the old capital Langya City at any time."

Listening to the news reported by his prime minister and looking at the seal characters on the silk book in his hand, Yue Wang Wuzhuan's hands couldn't help but tremble.

Slowly raising his head, Yue Wang Wu Zhuan's eyes showed a glimmer of hope, which was the last bit of luck in his heart.

After being a king and minister for many years, how could the Yue Prime Minister not understand the mood of the Yue King Wu Zhuan at this moment, but in the end he shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, not only the news from the Wei Kingdom, but also the news from the frontline scouts also confirms that the Chu Kingdom is about to use troops against our Yue Kingdom."

While speaking, the Yue Prime Minister took out a second silk book from his arms and handed it to the Yue King Wu Zhuan, "Your Majesty, the Grand Sima Jingshe of the Chu Kingdom arrived at Zhaoguan yesterday."

"boom……"

After hearing this news from the mouth of Yue Xiang, the King of Yue seemed to have lost the last bit of strength in his body, and he fell directly onto the throne.

As for Chu's possible attack, Yue was not unprepared.

As early as three years ago, when he agreed to the conditions of Wei and attacked Chu, King Wu Zhuan of Yue knew that this day would definitely come.

In fact, choosing to attack Chu was not a compromise and helplessness on the part of King Wu Zhuan of Yue.

A palace rebellion caused heavy losses to the Yue royal family, and the country's national strength also suffered heavy losses.

After being supported as the king of Yue, Wu Zhuan moved the capital back to Kuaiji, preparing to restore the strength of Yue wholeheartedly.

Fortunately, the focus of all the princes in the world was on the Central Plains, which gave Wu Zhuan and Yue more ample time.

It's just that as the country's national strength is gradually recovering, the warlike atmosphere that has always existed in Vietnam has also begun to gradually recover.

With the arrival of Wei's envoys, the Yue nobles who saw the benefits began to advocate war, and the warlike atmosphere in Yue reached its peak at this moment.

The foundation of the Yue King Wu Zhuan's throne was not stable. In order to appease the nobles in the country, he finally decided to send troops to help the Wei State.

Gradually recovering from the panic that the Chu army was about to press the border, Yue King Wu Zhuan slowly stood up from the throne.

Since the Chu State has troops approaching the city, the Yue State cannot sit still and wait for death.

Holding tightly the two silk books in his hand, King Wuzhuan of Yue tried his best to say in a calm tone: "Xiangguo, please immediately send a letter to Anyi and ask the envoy to ask for help from Wei."

"The Wei State is the most powerful country in the world, and it has always put integrity first for so many years. The Yue State helped the Wei State in the last war. I believe that the Wei State will not sit back and watch the Yue State be attacked by the Chu State."

"In addition, the cities north of the river are ordered to strengthen their vigilance and be on guard against possible raids by the Chu and Qi armies at all times."

"If the situation in Jiangbei's war goes against me..."

Slowly closing his eyes, King Wu Zhuan of Yue made a difficult decision, "The garrison in each city can retreat to the south of the river."

"Here."

King Wu Zhuan of Yue knew very well that at this time, Yue was no longer the dominant country in the southeast and could not compete head-on with the powerful Chu army.

For the present plan, we can only rely on the vast territory of Yue State and trade space for precious time.



As the Yue State, which was receiving the news, was actively preparing to deal with Chu's offensive, the war spirit in Yingdu, the capital of Chu State, gradually became more vigorous.

King Xiong Liangfu of Chu, who was excited about the upcoming war, was currently practicing archery on the palace grounds.

The bow string was stretched to the full moon, and the arrow cluster was aimed at the target. After a vibration of the bow string, the arrows flew towards the target.

"color!"

A few breaths later, a cheer sounded. Looking at the arrow that hit the bullseye a hundred steps away, a bright smile appeared on the corner of Chu King Xiong Liangfu's mouth.

Looking towards the direction of the sound, Chu King Xiong Liangfu said with a smile: "I heard that the teacher's shooting skills are superb, and he has the style of Yang Youji, the sharpshooter under King Zhuang's command. I wonder if today I have a chance to get a glimpse of the teacher's shooting skills?

"

"The king is so complimentary."

Facing the praise from King Xiong Liangfu of Chu, Ling Yin Zhaoxie, who had already come forward, said humbly: "I am old and weak, so I am afraid it will be difficult for me to pull the bow string. It is better to wait for the great Sima to return in triumph and let him accompany him.

How about a shot, Your Majesty?"

Hearing Zhao Xixie mention Da Sima Jingshe, the look on Chu King Xiong Liangfu's face immediately became solemn.

"Teacher, has your journey been smooth, Da Sima?"

Zhao Xixie bowed to King Xiong Liangfu of Chu and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Da Sima has successfully arrived at the front line of Zhaoguan."

"Now the general has arrived, the food, grass and baggage have been transferred, and the army of 100,000 is ready, just waiting for the king's order."

"good."

After listening to Zhao Xixie's report, Chu King Xiong Liangfu nodded with satisfaction, and then saw him slowly walking towards the position just now.

Another feathered arrow was drawn from the quiver held by the waiter on the side, and the bowstring was gradually pulled apart as his hands exerted force.

Aiming at the target a hundred steps away, a cold light shot out from the eyes of King Xiong Liangfu of Chu.

"Now the arrow is on the string and I have to shoot it."

After saying this, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu suddenly released his fingers, and the arrow from the string shot towards the target in the distance again.

After a crisp sound, there was another arrow in the center of the target.

Seeing this scene, King Chu Xiong Liangfu looked at Ling Yin Zhaoxixi beside him with dangerous eyes like a brown bear.

"Your Majesty, please convey the king's order to the Kingdom of Yue..."

"Start the war!"
