The people of Jiujiang live by water, but this does not mean that all their travels rely on boats.
Most of the time, the connections between villages are by land, and such roads may not usually be considered to be able to ensure the advancement of the army.
But when the army moves out, the lower road will become a high road!
All the Chu army needed to do was to open and expand these country roads into highways.
"Send the order and order each village to widen the road so that the army can move forward!" Xiang Yan issued the order.
Naturally, it was impossible to let the army do the work of opening up country roads. The common people and young people from each village naturally became the main force.
Under the coercion of the Chu army, whether they were willing or not, they had to gather the young men and widen the road.
As a result, country roads were connected and a thoroughfare was opened up.
"Xiang Yan!" In the Longcheng meeting hall, Wu Rui and Chen Xian looked ugly.
The navy's cruise naturally discovered that the Chu army was forcing the people to widen the rural roads, but they could not stop it.
Xiang Yan sent a large army to guard the roadside, but they couldn't stop it even if they wanted to. If they tried to stop it, they would only encounter the Chu army prematurely.
With the current army left behind in Dragon City, it is impossible to fight against the Chu army!
"They are repairing it, but we are blocking it. It can only take a while!" Chen Xian had no choice.
We can only try our best to make it difficult to open up the road, so as to buy time for Yingbu to lead his army back.
However, what Chen Xian could think of, how could Xiang Yan not think of it.
The biggest threat to the Chu army is the 70,000 dragon guards of Yingbu.
Therefore, in Shouchun City, Xiong Qi met Tianze who had escaped from Xinzheng!
"The Kingdom of Chu and I, Baiyue, are feuding. Why does King Chu think that I will help you?" Tianze looked at Xiong Qi and asked coldly.
Xiong Qi sent people to find him and told him that the Chu State could help him restore his country!
Tianze didn't believe a word of Xiong Qi's words at first.
The battle between Chu State and Baiyue has continued from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period. It is simply a fantasy for Chu State to help Baiyue recover.
But Tianze came anyway, wanting to know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Chu State.
But, he admitted that he was cheated by the CPU!
"We have a common enemy, the Dragon King of Jiujiang!" Xiong Qi looked at Tianze and directly stated the opportunity for them to cooperate.
"If that's the case, why can't I cooperate with Jiujiang Dragon King?" Tianze looked at Xiong Qi and asked.
"And compared to the Dragon King of Jiujiang, the Chu State poses a greater threat to Baiyue!" Tianze continued.
"Although the Chu State is more powerful, in a short period of time, our Chu's primary enemy is the Qin State, right?" Xiong Qiye had already anticipated Tianze's answer and found a reason to convince him.
"Do you think that after the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Chu Kingdom, it would let you Baiyue go?" Xiong Qi continued.
Tianze was silent. He had witnessed the tigers and wolves of Da Qin with his own eyes. Once the Chu Kingdom was destroyed, would Baiyue be destroyed too?
"Baiyue may not listen to me. After all... I am just the deposed prince of Baiyue!" Tianze was finally convinced and looked at Xiong Qi and said.
Baiyue is similar to barbarians, but different.
The so-called different pronunciations and mountains each belong to different forces. Even Wu and Yue could not unite the entire Baiyue. Otherwise, Chu could take the lead and annex Wu and Yue.
In fact, there are not many places that King Baiyue can control. He is only a king in name only. What he can really control is his own clan hundreds of miles around.
"Of course I know, so I am willing to borrow troops to fight against you!" Xiong Qi saw Tianze's move and continued to increase his weight.
Tianze narrowed his eyes slightly, no matter which clan he belongs to, he can make people surrender if he has soldiers in his hands!
"How much can your Majesty lend me?" Tianze asked with a frown.
"Fifty thousand!" Xiong Qi said and directly took out a tiger charm and handed it to Tianze.
Tianze looked at the tiger talisman in Xiong Qi's hand and knew that from the moment he stepped into Shouchun Palace, he had fallen into the opponent's trap and was being manipulated to death.
"What do I need to pay?" Tianze did not take the tiger talisman. He knew that if there was a gain, there would be a loss. Xiong Qi could not give him the 50,000-strong army in vain.
"Cangwu!" Xiong Qi took out a map of Cangwu.
"Cang Wu? That's the territory of Ou Yue and Luo Yue!" Tianze frowned. Ou Yue and Luo Yue, even when Wu Yue was there, did not obey the king's order. Now let him control Ou Yue and Luo Yue.
Not very realistic.
"With a large army in hand, can't King Tianze still control the two Yue tribes in Cangwu?" Xiong Qi asked provocatively.
"Moreover, this is also for your own good. If you lead the army to conquer Mingyue and Wu Yue, you will inevitably have to confront the Chu State. This is not what I want to see, and it is not what you want to see either!
"
"So, Cangwu is actually more suitable for King Tianze to restore the country and establish a powerful Yue Kingdom!"
Xiong Qi seemed to have figured everything out and was tempting Tianze step by step to follow his plan.
"I don't believe the king would be so kind!" Tianze looked at the map and always felt that the matter was not that simple.
"I won't hide it from you. In addition to Ou Yue and Luo Yue, Cangwu also has 70,000 dragon guards from the Jiujiang Dragon King!" Xiong Qi didn't hide it. After all, he would naturally know it when Tianze left.
"The king wants me to conquer Ou Yue and Luo Yue, and contain the Jiujiang Dragon King's army in Cangwu!" Tianze is not stupid either. He naturally knows what Xiong Qi wants, and also knows why Xiong Qi is so kind to lend him troops.
.
"Not bad!" Xiong Qi nodded and handed the weapon talisman in his hand to Tianze again.
Tianze looked at the tiger talisman in Xiong Qi's hand, and then at the map. In the end, his desire to restore the country finally gained the upper hand, and he stretched out his hand to take the soldier talisman.
When Xiong Qi saw Tianze taking the military talisman, he also laughed and ordered someone to serve him delicacies.
"Master really wants to listen to King Chu and go to Cangwu to contain the dragon guards of the Jiujiang Dragon King?" After leaving the Chu King's palace, Yan Lingji appeared next to Tianze and asked doubtfully.
"Isn't Longwei such an easy person? Wouldn't it be better to let the Dragon King of Chu and Jiujiang bite each other like dogs?" Tianze smiled coldly.
He never thought about helping the Chu State to contain Yingbu and the 70,000 Dragon Guards. Even the first thing he did when he arrived in Cangwu was to subdue Ou Yue and Luo Yue, and then let the Dragon Guards return.
Let the Dragon Guard and Chu Army fight dogs, this is Baiyue's greatest interest!
"Your Majesty, do you really believe that he will keep his promise?" In the palace of the King of Chu, Ling Yin looked at Xiong Qi and asked.
"If you can believe what the Baiyue barbarians say, then there are ghosts!" Xiong Qi said coldly.
"If that's the case, why does the king still need to lend troops to him?" Ling Yin was puzzled.
"When the army conquered Baiyue, it was also the day Tianze died!" Xiong Qi said lightly.
Are Chu's soldiers so easy to borrow? Can a useless prince like Tianze understand how to play with a large army?
All he needs is to use the name of Prince Tianze to conquer Baiyue. Once Baiyue is conquered, Tianze will be useless. By then, won’t the Chu army have the final say in the army?
