In the autumn of 259 BC, several major events broke out in the Central Plains, attracting many attentions.

First, the nomadic Huns on the northern plateau suddenly poured their troops south, and fought a war between the five northern counties of Zhao State, like the lower overlords today.

In this battle, Zhao State was subjected to an extremely severe test, and both sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle in Yanmen and Yunzhong.

Since the war has not ended, no one in the land of China dares to assert that the victory of the war will definitely fall into the hands of which side.

Just when the fierce battle between Zhao and the Huns had not yet decided, another major event from Zhao spread throughout China.

One of the Dukes of Zhao, the Lou family, was greatly purged because of treason. In just a few days, this family that had been active in the political arena of Zhao for a long time completely disappeared.

Before anyone could come back to his senses from the successive events that happened in Zhao State, Zhao State's old rival Qin State also made a big fuss.

King Ji of Qin took Wang He as his general and led 200,000 Qin troops out of Wu Pass and headed south, swearing to attack Chu!

Almost at the same time when King Ji of Qin sent his troops, Qi State began to mobilize troops on a large scale, and it seemed that it was no longer willing to act as a bystander in China, but wanted to regain its place on the stage of this great show of hegemony!

Now, the people of Chu began to worry.

Needless to say, the Qin State's actions suddenly mobilized troops on the borders of the two countries without any warning without notifying Chu State. The fool also knew that this was definitely a sign that the Qi people would take action.

In order to deal with the upcoming joint offensive between Qin and Qi, King Yuan of Chu quickly convened a grand court meeting.

At the meeting, King Chu looked at his right-hand man with a serious expression. Chu State Order Chunshen Jun Huang Xie: "Chunshen Jun, is there any explanation on Zhao Wangdan?"

Although the Chu State has recaptured the two southeastern counties, the time is still short, so it is obviously unrealistic to expect to return to its full state in an instant.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Chu to be a rival to Qin and Qi, so it is normal to ask for help from Zhao.

So after learning about the abnormal movements between Qin and Qi a while ago, King Yuan of Chu sent an envoy almost immediately and rushed to Handan as quickly as possible to see Zhao Dan, hoping to get support from Zhao.

After all, Zhao and Chu joined forces to defeat Qin during the Battle of Changping, which was originally an ally.

After hearing the question of King Yuan of Chu, Huang Xie quickly answered: "Back to the king, King Dan of Zhao said that Zhao was fighting against the Xiongnu, and it is difficult to send troops to support him for a while."

"Huns?" King Yuan of Chu frowned, showing a very unhappy expression. He thought that the Huns had gone south in a bad time. After a while, he said unhappy: "The Huns are just nomadic peoples. With Zhao's current strength, why should they be so afraid!"

Obviously, Zhao Dan's reply did not satisfy King Yuan of Chu.

After all, in the eyes of King Yuan of Chu, Chu State was determined to send troops to aid Zhao State after the envoy from Zhao State. Why is Zhao State so unstable now?

Well, although King Yuan of Chu was indeed a little hesitant when Yu Xin, the envoy of Zhao, came, and he had to decide to send troops after Mao Sui's persuasion, and the direction of the troops was not the Changping battlefield...

But the result is good! At least Chu helped Zhao win the Battle of Changping, which is undoubtedly true.

People are more tolerant of themselves and more harsh to others, and it is obvious that the same is true for King Yuan of Chu.

After hearing what King Yuan of Chu said, Huang Xie's face, which had begun to look a little old, trembling slightly, and showed a helpless smile: "King, the Huns are the big clan in the northern grassland today. They have 50,000 riding and shooting people, and their strength cannot be underestimated."

King Yuan of Chu waved his hand distractedly and said, "But just the Huns, how about Lin Hu, compared to Loufan in the past? Because Loufan, Lin Hu is stronger than Zhao's enemy, how can the Huns defeat Zhao? I think that in only a few months at most, Zhao will be able to defeat the Huns and then go south to help me."

Obviously, because the brilliant record of Zhao State was there, King Yuan of Chu was quite confident and optimistic about the final victory of Zhao State.

However, as he said that, King Yuan of Chu frowned again and said, "In this way, I need to resist Qin and Qi for some time... All the ministers will tell you how to resist these two countries?"

Since the old Yingdu had just been recovered and the reconstruction work was still in progress, the capital of Chu is still Chencheng.

Chencheng is located on the west bank of the Honggou. It is not too far from Daliang, the capital of Wei State, or Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, and it is also considered the Central Plains.

Starting from Chencheng, whether it is attacking Qin State in the northwest or Qi State in the northeast, the distance is about the same.

On the other hand, this also means that both Qin and Qi are very threatening to Chencheng.

Under the most unoptimistic situation, the troops of Qin and Qi may have been unstoppable and finally completed a victory meeting under Chencheng...

This is definitely not what King Yuan of Chu wanted to see.

As soon as King Yuan of Chu finished speaking, Jing Yang, who was promoted to the upper pillar country for his contribution to recapturing the two southeastern counties, took the lead in leaving the list and said to King Yuan of Chu with confidence: "I ask the king to give me 200,000 elite troops. I will definitely be able to defeat Wang Yan and let the people of Qin know the might of Chu!"

Jing Yang spoke with great confidence, which attracted a look of the Chu ministers in the palace.

But to be honest, Jingyang does have this capital, who can make others achieve military achievements?

King Yuan of Chu pondered for a while and said, "I am relieved to resist the Qin army in the Shangzhu Kingdom, but how should the Qi army deal with it?"

Jingyang was about to speak, but Huang Xie, who was standing beside him, took the lead: "King, although Huang Xie is not talented, he is willing to lead his army to resist the Qi army and relieve the king's worries."

As the chief of Chu State, Huang Xie could not be a turtle at this time because of his feelings or reason.

The reason why Huang Xie chose Qi instead of Qin was also very simple, because Huang Xie's fief was the twelve counties in Huaibei, which was near the border between Chu and Qi.

King Yuan of Chu thought for a while.

To be honest, this method of dividing troops from two groups is not the best way, but King Yuan of Chu can't think of a better way now.

So soon King Yuan of Chu made a decision: "Since that's the case, then go to the Pulau Kingdom to lead an army to resist Qin, and use Chunshen Jun to lead an army to resist Qi. After the Qi army is ordered, set off immediately!"
