Chapter 2000: The cunning Chi You
"The envoy of Qin harbors evil intentions? How could it be possible?"
Princess Zhu Rong immediately exclaimed. In her opinion, both the Qin and Man families had enmity with Liu Ji, so it was a natural progression for the two sides to join forces. She did not even think about Qin's hidden evil intentions.
“Why not?”
After Chi You asked a question, he sneered: "Qin asked us to send troops to Yizhou just to make Liu Ji feel threatened and transfer the Shu army in northern Jingbei back to Yizhou.
Once the Shu army really comes back, we will be the target of the Shu army, and Nanzhong will face hundreds of thousands of Shu troops.
The Qin State only paid some money, food and equipment, but asked the entire southern barbarians to bear the losses for the Qin army. Isn't this harboring evil intentions? "
"this…"
Princess Zhu Rong was speechless. Only now did she understand that there were so many ways in this.
"But brother Wang, since you know that the Qin army has bad intentions, why do you still agree to the Qin envoy and form an alliance with the Qin state?" Princess Zhu Rong asked again.
"Brother Wei, as I said before, forming an alliance with the Qin army does not mean that we will send troops, and sending troops does not mean that we will fight Liu Ji. Qin wants to use our southern barbarians to contain the military strength of Shu, and we, the southern barbarians, can also use Qin to weaken Shu. ”
“How to use it?”
“Now Qin’s 100,000 reinforcements have successfully arrived in Jingbei, and the military strength gap between Qin and Shu and Chu is no longer as big as before.
Next, the two countries Shu and Chu are still in the advantageous stage in Jingbei, but the advantage is no longer that great, and it may be difficult to determine the winner in the short term. "
At this point, Chi You's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, and he sneered: "If at this time, the entire Nanman army is dispatched to attack Yizhou, how do you think Liu Ji will react?"
“Isn’t this just following Qin’s wishes and taking the initiative to serve as a spearman?”
Princess Zhu Rong became even more confused, but Chi You did not explain. Instead, he continued: "Just tell me how Liu Ji will react."
Zhu Rong was silent for a moment and then replied: "In order to ensure the safety of Yizhou, Liu Ji will probably suspend his attack on Jingbei and transfer his main force back to Yizhou."
“Yes, although Jingbei is rich, Yizhou is Liu Ji’s base camp, and he will never allow Yizhou to be turbulent.”
Chi You nodded, and then said: "But if we, the Southern Barbarians, only send 30,000 troops to train in the Yinan area, make an offensive posture, but do not start a war, how do you think Liu Ji will react?"
After Zhu Rong pondered for a long time, he said: "With only 30,000 troops, it is not enough to threaten the safety of Yizhou, but with Liu Ji's fear of our southern barbarians, I am afraid that he will still send troops back from Jingbei, but the number is I’m afraid it won’t be too much, and the strategy for Jingbei will not be suspended.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
Chi You showed a successful smile and said: "In the covenant, although I promised the Qin envoy to send troops, it did not stipulate how many troops would be sent, nor when the war would start.
Sending out one hundred thousand troops is sending out troops, and sending out thirty thousand troops is the same as sending out troops. The war tomorrow is a war, and the war next year is a war.
Therefore, I only send a small amount of troops, even if I postpone the war until next year, it will not be considered a violation of the covenant. "
"I see."
Zhu Rong showed a look of astonishment and said: "You can get so many benefits from the Qin army without making any effort. Brother Wang is really proud... Oops."
Before Zhu Rong finished speaking, Chi You knocked her head angrily, which made Zhu Rong almost burst into tears from the pain.
“Brother Wang, did I say something wrong? Why did you hit me on the head?” Zhu Rong said with an aggrieved look on his face.
“Hmph.” Chi You snorted dissatisfiedly, and said with an unhappy look on his face: “So in my sister’s heart, my brother is this kind of person who is greedy for small profits?”
“Well, of course not.”
Zhu Rong laughed sarcastically and quickly changed the subject: "Then what is brother's real purpose?"
Chi You looked like he hated iron and said helplessly: "Liu Ji will never give up Yizhou, nor will he give up the newly occupied land of Jingbei.
As long as our southern barbarians attack Yizhou, no matter how many troops we send, some of the Shu soldiers will be attracted back.
And if this speed can be grasped well, in a certain sense, it can influence the situation in Jingbei. "
Chi You has already said what he said. If Zhu Rong can't understand it, then he is really a fool, and Zhu Rong is obviously not a fool.
"Brother, what you mean is to deliberately send a small number of troops and let Liu Ji transfer some of his troops back to Yizhou, so as to weaken Shu's military strength in Jingbei, indirectly balance the power between Qin and Shu, and use Qin to weaken Shu. Country?" Zhu Rong asked with some uncertainty.
The reason why Zhu Rong is uncertain is that this plan is too bold. The three most powerful princes in the world are all being used by his brother. This is incredible.
“The elm head has finally enlightened.”
Chi You showed admiration this time and said with a smile: "Our southern barbarian power alone is not enough to fight Shu, and using Qin to weaken Shu is the best strategy.
The longer Shu and Qin fight in the north of Jing, the stronger their strength will be weakened. It is best to be defeated by the Qin army, so that it will be effortless for brother to capture Yizhou. "
Three days later, Chi You sent his general Gong Gong as the chief general and his sister Princess Zhu Rong as the deputy general. He led an army of 30,000 men, Meng Huo, Meng You, Yang Feng, Wu Tugu and other generals to invade the southern border of Shu.
Although the last invasion of the Southern Barbarians was repelled, it was the result of Liu Ji and Liu Yu joining forces and paying a huge price, so the people of Shu still have a deep respect for Chi You.
Now the Southern Barbarian army is back. Although there are only 30,000 troops, and the leading general is not Chi You but Gonggong, the people in Shu regard this as a sign that Chi You is coming again.
The first general of the Southern Barbarians, Gong Gong, and Princess Zhu Rong are here. Is the Southern Barbarian King Chiyou still far away?
The court and opposition parties of the Shu Kingdom in Chengdu, no, are now the court of the Southern Han Dynasty.
Hearing the news of the Nanman's comeback was like a bolt from the blue, and the Southern Han court was greatly frightened.
As a puppet, Liu Bian could not make the decision, so he could only seek help from Liu Ji in northern Jingbei as quickly as possible.
Liu Ji, who had merged with Liu Xiu in Jingbei and joined forces to attack Jiangling City, after receiving the news from Chengdu, was so angry that he threw three of his beloved glass tea cups.
“Zhu Rongchi, you are a common man, you have ruined my plan, sooner or later I will skin you and cramp you.”
Liu Ji gritted his teeth and cursed, as if he wanted to eat Chi You alive.
With Yue Fei once again taking charge of the Jingzhou Qin Army, and the 100,000 Hebei Qin Army arriving in Jingbei, the advantages of Shu and Chu in Jingbei are getting smaller and smaller, but overall they are still the dominant side.
Chiyou sent troops to Yizhou at this time, which could be said to have hit the critical point of Shu. It was heartbreaking.
“Brother King Chu, the Southern Barbarian King is really very tight. Now the Southern Barbarian thieves are attacking here and Yizhou is in turmoil. I am afraid that I will..."
Liu Ji did not say everything, but the meaning was self-evident, that is, he wanted to withdraw his troops.
Second update to make up for yesterday’s guarantee.
I have written two thousand chapters. When I started writing, I did not expect that I would be able to persist until now, nor did I expect that this book would be able to write so much.
The progress will be accelerated in the future, and some plots will be abbreviated and passed through in one stroke. There is actually a lot of plot, but it should be completed in less than 3,000 chapters.
