On July 20, Xiong Wuliang's Chu army had basically transported the seized spoils back to the fief. At the same time, officials sent by Yingdu also rushed over and took over the 800 miles of land newly included in the territory of the Great Chu.

The unscrupulous plundering came to an end.

Sixty thousand garrison soldiers and ten thousand Quyang New Army are now rested and have high morale and can go north at any time.

At this time, Xiong Wuliang had already received three letters from Le Yi.

Without exception, the content of the letter was urging Xiong Wuliang to send troops to attack Qi as soon as possible, creating opportunities for the battlefield in Jixi.

...

In a spacious big house, everyone gathered together.

A confidant adviser summoned Hua, ten thousand Quyang's new army commander Shao Hu, and the personal military commander Zhong Hua, all sat in the house.

Xiong Wuliang's newly acquired adopted son Tiandi sat in the corner, obviously knowing that he had no right to speak in this meeting.

The general of the commander of 60,000 garrison soldiers, Wu Ben, the former general of the Great Chu, also sat there, waiting for Xiong Wuliang to open his mouth to speak with admiration.

What surprised him was that there were two new faces in the house - a white and tender scholar, and a burly man with an ordinary appearance and no characteristics.

The two of them sat far away, and even if they looked in the other person from time to time, they often had a biting chill in their eyes.

Xiong Wuliang seemed to have no intention of introducing these two strange faces to Wu Ben. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xiong Wuliang stood up and said in a deep voice: "The State of Song has been destroyed, and next is Qi in the north."

Tian Di, the prince of Qi in the corner, sighed softly!

What is due to come is always coming.

I just hope that my newly recognized adoptive father can take advantage of the child's face and start a little lighter...

Why!

Xiong Wuliang nodded slightly at Zhao Hua, Zhao Hua stood up, and also began to analyze the current situation straight to the point-

"Now that the Song State has been destroyed, our Great Chu has newly incorporated a total of 800 miles of territory. Now a large area of ​​land is waiting to be digested into national strength. It is not very meaningful to attack Qi State at this time."

"It won't be chewed too much."

"But this battle still needs to be fought!"

"There has been a bloody feud between Qi and Chu, and after the demise of the Song Kingdom, the two countries have bordered - a war will break out sooner or later!"

"If you don't take advantage of the opportunity of the coalition forces to attack Qi in this moment, you will start this battle! It's best to greatly weaken Qi!"

"As for what goal to achieve in the end... I'll ask the lord to decide." Zhao Hua respectfully bowed to Xiong Wuliang.

In fact, Zhao Hua knew Xiong Wuliang’s plan.

But he can't overshadow the main point. What's more, some words are more appropriate for Xiong Wuliang to say from his own mouth.

Xiong Wuliang coughed lightly and said something amazing—

"Qi State is now bordering our Great Chu..."

"The powerful Qi State is not a good Qi State."

"The destruction of Qi is not a good Qi either!"

"The half-dead Qi State is the best Qi State!" Xiong Wuliang made the final decision.

The reason is very simple - the State of Chu has gained enough benefits, and the 800-li Song land is already very fragrant.

The meat that has reached the stomach has not yet been digested into national strength, so it is not advisable to continue to annex the land of Qi. If there is too much new land, it will not be effectively controlled, and it will only cause fear to the nations.

Therefore, the State of Chu is now like a tiger full of food.

In a short period of time, there is no more demand for expanding territory.

However, the strong neighbor of Qi State was on the side, so Xiong Wuliang would not let him go if he had the chance to beat him up and weaken him.

However, we cannot allow Qi to perish... Otherwise, wouldn't it be cheaper for Yan? At that time, Chu will still have a strong neighbor, but this strong neighbor has been replaced by Qi to Yan.

Shaohu and Wu Ben looked at each other, became excited, and bowed together, saying, "I hope to hear the order of the Lord (Monk)!"

Xiong Wuliang waved his hand and said neatly: "This battle must be fought! And it must be fought hard!"

Tian Di's eyelids in the corner twitched, and he resisted the urge to open his mouth to speak.

Xiong Wuliang: “Our goal is to defeat Qi State to death and to be unable to take care of itself!”

"But, we can't beat Qi to death!"

Tian Di: Is it really appropriate for you to discuss these in front of me?

Xiong Wuliang seemed to hear the voice of the fields, glanced at the sluggish fields in the corner, brewed for a moment, and said his final plan in a deep voice-

"My son has the resources of the King of Qi!"

"..."

field:???

Suddenly being named, so frightened.

But... Tian Di became excited and breathed a sigh of relief!

According to the adoptive father's opinion, if the plan goes well, then the country of Qi will be preserved.

Even if you have to be a puppet for the Chu people after ascending the throne, it is better than being destroyed!

Fortunately! Fortunately!

Fortunately, I was captured by Xiong Wuliang! Fortunately, I lost the bet! Fortunately, I was willing to accept the loss and accepted Quyang Hou Xiong Liang as his adoptive father...

The rescue of Qi State was successful!

If I say everything is in my plan, do you believe it?

Tian Di immediately stood up, bowed his head and bowed: "The adoptive father is above! I will be bowed by the child!"

The call of "Entertainment Father" was particularly smooth and without any obstruction before...

...

On July 21, 70,000 Chu troops led their troops north and attacked the southern part of Qi again!

The first thing to be affected is [Wucheng]!

Hearing that the Chu army finally began to head north, Mengchangjun, who was responsible for guarding Qi Nan, breathed a sigh of relief - what should come is still coming.

Tian Wen is facing a great enemy!

He knew the importance of Wucheng - as mentioned above, if Xiong Wuliang conquered Wucheng, he could attack and retreat or defend.

While the Chu army was busy transporting the spoils of Song State, Tian Wen seized the time and worked hard to repair the city defense of Wucheng.

Today, Wucheng has become a veritable city! Twenty thousand Qi troops stationed in the city!

The 20,000 Qi army was vigilant day and night, ready to fight against the Chu army at any time.

The last time Xiong Wuliang raided Qinan, Wucheng was thrown too easily...

And this time, Tian Wen has sufficient confidence!

The Qi army, who is waiting for trouble, will definitely defeat the Chu army in Wucheng!

At least, I won’t throw away Wucheng easily like I did a few months ago!

...

On the wall of Wucheng.

Meng Changjun, commander-in-chief of the Qinan War Zone, was wearing a purple dress, and his young face was full of condensation.

Under the escort of his personal soldiers and disciples, he had already visited all the cities in the southern part of Qi State, urging the defenders from all over the country to strengthen their defense and recruit soldiers.

Now, the city that has inspected the last city is also an extremely important geographical location and will be the first to be attacked by the Chu army - [Wucheng].

"General Li, this Wucheng defense is indeed solid." Mengchangjun was very satisfied and patted the shoulder of the Wucheng guard Li Fei.

Li Fei straightened his chest and was very excited: "Thank you for your praise."

Mengchangjun nodded and said with great sincerity: "There are more than 80,000 troops in the entire southern Qi area. In terms of the number of people alone, it is not inferior to the Chu army, and it is even slightly better."

"But the Chu general Qu Yang Hou was not rational. Although our army was the best, we should be careful!"

"To be honest, these 80,000 people are already the last military force that Qi State can organize..."

"This battle is related to the survival of the Great Qi!"
Chapter completed!
