Chapter 409 Actions from all parties

Chu State, Yingdu.

Sitting on the throne in front of the hall, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu looked at each of the courtiers below expressionlessly.

The Wei army's combat power is indeed surprisingly strong. Either they won't fight, or they will beat you to the point of unforgettable pain.

In just half a month, Chen County, Yangcheng, Yanling, Dengcheng, Shangcai and other counties quickly fell into the hands of Wei. The Wei army used its powerful combat power to declare a fact to Chu and all the princes in the world.

That is who has the most powerful military in the world today, and who is the most powerful country in the world today.

The power of the Wei army deeply shocked everyone in the hall, including Xiong Liangfu himself.

Although he had already had a high estimate of the Wei army before, Xiong Liangfu had to admit that he still underestimated the Wei army's combat power.

Xiong Liangfu, the king of Chu, was like this. After seeing the strength of the Wei army, the Chu courtiers were even more shocked.

Almost as soon as the messenger on the front line finished speaking the news, someone stood up and said that Sima Jingshe's army should be mobilized to return to the army.

To this voice, Xiong Liangfu did not immediately reply, but listened to everything calmly and silently.

After the courtier who made the suggestion finished speaking, and there was silence in the hall for a long time, Xiong Liangfu slowly raised his head.

"You must all be afraid in your hearts, right?"

"I am afraid that the Wei army is so powerful, that the Wei army has conquered so many cities in a short period of time, and that one day the Wei army will attack the capital city of Ying."

The tone was low, and Xiong Liangfu's voice from above reached the ears of everyone present. Some of the Chu courtiers lowered their heads silently.

Taking all this into consideration, Xiong Liangfu continued to speak slowly: "It's not just the ministers who are afraid, but also me."

"But what I fear is not only the power of the Wei State, but also the safety of our Chu State."

"The Qin State, the former overlord in the West, can now only bow to the Wei State; the Qi State in the East, which was also once powerful, has repeatedly suffered heavy losses in the past ten years."

"The threat in the east has been eliminated, and the powerful enemy in the west has been defeated. Where will Wei's next target be?"

"The only one is our Chu country."

Having said this, Xiong Liangfu stood up directly from the throne, and his powerful words resounded in everyone's ears.

"If we don't become stronger, our country of Chu will be waiting for death."

"The king is wise."

"The king is wise."

"The king is wise."

Xiong Liangfu is worthy of being the hero who created the Xuanwei era of Chu State. He could see the urgency of the current situation at a glance.

After his words, there was no sound of retreating troops in the court hall, only the sound of praise remained.

Since the King of Chu has set the tone, the ministers below will naturally not fail to express their opinions.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I believe that Da Sima's army cannot be withdrawn."

"If our Chu State withdraws its troops today, it will undoubtedly be showing weakness to the Wei State."

"It is like this today and it will be like this tomorrow. How can our Chu State compete with Wei State?"

Qu Jingzhao's three clans all belong to the royal family branch, and they have always advanced and retreated together. In the absence of Grand Sima Jingshe, Qu Boyong, a left disciple of Chu State, immediately stepped forward.

Zuo Tu's status in the Chu State was second only to that of Ling Yin. With Qu Boyong taking the lead, members of the Qu and Jing families in the court immediately spoke out in agreement.

Suddenly, the atmosphere in the court hall changed 180 degrees, and the voices of united people and a common resistance to Wei filled the hall.

It was at this time that Ling Yin Zhao Xixie, who was sitting at the front, also came to Xiong Liangfu step by step.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I also think that Grand Sima's army cannot be transferred back."

"The success or failure of the battle against Yue is not only related to the stability of our Chu country's surroundings, but also determines the safety of our Chu country."

"How to decide this matter, please leave it to your Majesty's discretion."

"As for the Wei army that has already arrived at Ru River..."

Mentioning the Wei army on the front line, Zhao Xixie straightened his back.

"If the king does not mind that the veteran is old, the veteran is willing to lead the army to block the Wei army's front for the king."

The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the rough waves know the loyal ministers.

Looking at the teacher standing in front of him, how could Xiong Liangfu not be moved?

"In this case, there will be Lao Lingyin."

"I will definitely live up to the great king's trust."



"Drive, drive, drive..."

A rapid sound of urging horses appeared outside Shangcai City along with the fast galloping horses, which immediately aroused the vigilance of the Wei soldiers stationed on the city tower.

Under the red flag fluttering high in the wind, Wei's soldiers subconsciously clenched the halberd in their hands, and a voice suddenly appeared in everyone's ears.

"Urgent report from the front."

A moment later, the urgent report returned from the frontline scouts was delivered to General Pang Juan, the chief general of the Wei army.

"Reporting to the General, urgent report of the military situation on the front line."

"Bring it to me and see."

After receiving the battle report from the messenger, Pang Juan's eyes moved quickly over the urgent report, and then his eyes moved to a map at hand.

After a few breaths, Pang Juan gently put down the emergency report in his hand, and a smile appeared on his face.

Facing the menacing 100,000 Wei troops, the King of Chu decided to lead an army of 80,000 troops led by Ling Yin Zhaoxixie to resist.

"I have long heard from the Prime Minister that Yin, the commander of the Chu Kingdom, is a veteran on the battlefield. This time I have to ask for advice."

After muttering something to himself, Pang Juan's right index finger crossed the Ru River on the map, which ran from northwest to southeast, and landed on a city southwest of Deng City.

"Order the whole army to cross Ru River in three days and go straight to Tangxi."

"Follow orders."



The Wei State here sent troops to the Chu State in order to rescue the Yue State. A war between Wei and Chu was about to take place.

On the other hand, the news that Wei State sent troops south to Chu State was finally sent to the palace in Handan, the capital of Zhao State, after a period of time.

"Father, father, father..."

Continuous calls appeared outside the main hall of Prince Zhao's palace, and Prince Zhao Yu rushed in holding a silk book.

"Excuse me!"

Facing the stern look that King Zhao Zhao Zhong looked at him, Zhao Yu, who was so excited, immediately put down the silk book and walked slowly and step by step in front of Zhao Zhong.

"What happened?"

It wasn't until Zhao Zhong asked that Prince Zhao Yu respectfully handed over the silk book in his hand.

"Reporting to my father, there is news from Anyi that the Wei State has sent troops south to help the Yue State against the Chu State."

After hearing the prince's report, Zhao Zhong also ignored his manners, put the slip in his hand aside, and picked up the silk book directly.

After confirming the contents of the silk book, Zhao Zhong stood up from his seat.

"Okay, it's really a God-given opportunity."

"Send the order and mobilize the three armies. I will personally conquer Zhongshan Kingdom this time."
