The reason why he was hesitant and wavering was because he thought that if there was a deadly battle between Zhao and Wu, each would be injured. Even if Wu was destroyed in the end, he could still get a share of the pie. Zhao's strength would inevitably be damaged, and he
You can take this opportunity to train your troops and strengthen yourself. When the time comes, Zhao will not dare to mess around.
Unexpectedly, Guo Yi was so shameless that he persuaded King Wu Cheng to defect to King Zhao.
In this way, both the Zhao State and the Wu State are at the peak of their military strength. The combined strength of the two countries' troops is probably close to one million.
When the time comes, the State of Zhao will destroy the State of Chu, won't it be a matter of minutes?
Thinking of this, King Chu took a deep breath.
"The King of Chu knows the pros and cons better than I do." Guo Yi smiled slightly.
At this moment, King Chu had made up his mind.
He no longer covets half of Youzhou City. Even if the State of Zhao gives it to him, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it. Don't throw away hundreds of cities in Chu State just for half of Youzhou City. The King of Chu immediately made his decision:
"Mr. Guo, after hearing your words, I immediately woke up. I agree with the Wu-Chu Alliance."
"Okay!" Guo Yi nodded.
Guo Yi also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Soon, the King of Chu officially announced the alliance between Chu and Wu.
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was in an uproar.
Especially Zhao State, the whole country was shocked.
At first, the people of Zhao State thought that Zhao State and Chu State were allied to deal with Wu State. Unexpectedly, Chu State changed its mind midway and directly allied with Wu State. This was funny.
Bang!
King Zhao was furious, grabbed the beautiful jade vase and smashed it into countless petals.
He roared angrily: "This bastard King of Chu dares to betray Zhao. I will send troops to conquer him."
"Your Majesty, you must not do it." Prime Minister You said hastily: "At this moment, Zhao State is fighting with Wu State. If Chu State is involved, this is definitely not a good thing. At that time, the troops will definitely be divided into battles. It is a great military strategist.
Taboo."
"Yes!" A general came out and said, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to fight the Chu State. When we destroy the Wu State, we can then send troops to the Chu State. We will surely be able to complete your majesty's great cause of unifying the world."
King Zhao was furious and cursed: "The king of Chu actually did such a treacherous thing. It is too much."
"No matter how much the Chu State goes too far, we must endure it." Prime Minister You spoke again, saying: "We must not anger the Chu State, let alone let the Chu State send troops. Not only can we not send troops to the Chu State, we must also send envoys
Go to Chu State and appease Chu State."
"Damn it, he's betrayed his trust, why should I send someone to appease him?" King Zhao kicked an expensive chair away.
"Your Majesty, if you can achieve great things, you must be able to endure what ordinary people cannot endure." Prime Minister You dissuaded.
"Okay!" King Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Then I will destroy the State of Wu first, and then the State of Chu. When the time comes, I will make King Chu kneel in front of me, and I will ask him a question
, why should you break your promise?"

There was also cheering in the Wu Kingdom.
King Wu Cheng was extremely happy.
King Wu Cheng said: "Mr. Divine Fortune Teller is indeed a great hero of our country. I want to erect a monument and a statue in his honor."
"This is your Majesty's blessing." The ministers cheered.
In Youzhou City, Guo Nian also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he already knew the whole story because Zi Xing had already sent him a letter telling him everything.
Guo Nian is very grateful to his father.
If it weren't for Guo Yi's mission to Wu, I'm afraid Zhao's army would have been able to successfully cross the border with Chu. He would have fought on two fronts and lost the natural protection of the Canyon Pass. As a result, he would have been very sad.
"General, there is news from the State of Zhao." A deputy general came in.
"Say." Guo Nian looked at him.
"Zhao General Ji Ning's 100,000-strong army has passed through Baima Town and is approaching Canyon Pass," the deputy general said.
"What about Era?" Guo Nian asked.
"It is said that Era's army has turned around halfway and is heading towards the Canyon Pass." The deputy general said solemnly: "Now, 200,000 troops have gathered at the Canyon Pass. It will not be easy to hold the Canyon Pass this time.
"
"Two hundred thousand people!" Guo Nian took a deep breath.
Two hundred thousand people gathered at the canyon pass, and even with the human sea tactic, they could find a way to open the canyon pass.
Although the Canyon Pass is a natural danger, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
But there are only 200,000 people in total. If you spend all these 200,000 people, how can you protect the Wu Kingdom in the future?
Zhao Guoguo has a regular army of 500,000 people and nearly 500,000 reserve forces. Although it is a reserve force, its combat effectiveness is definitely not bad. This is the horror of Zhao State.
If you can kill these 200,000 people in one breath without losing a lot of your own numbers, maybe you can make Zhao Guo feel scared.
"General, do you have any plans?" the deputy general asked.
"Not yet." Guo Nian shook his head.
"What should we do?" the deputy general said anxiously.
"Secure the canyon pass for the time being." Guo Nian frowned.
During this period, Guo Nian asked all the 50,000 captured Zhao people to go to Canyon Pass to dig mountains and move rocks. Only by digging out the mountains and widening the narrow paths could better defense be carried out.
Sending 50,000 people up the mountain at once was an unprecedented feat.
Because the winding trails and the steep terrain on the mountain are not suitable for large numbers of people, among the 50,000 people, hundreds or even thousands of people fall down the mountain every day. Some even die without a burial place.
But Guo Nian didn't feel bad at all, because these people were prisoners. Not killing them was the greatest preferential treatment for them.
"General, there is an old man outside the door who wants to see you." The deputy general came in hurriedly.
"Old man?" Guo Nian was stunned for a moment and said, "What old man?"
"I don't know, I just wanted to see you." The deputy general said awkwardly.
"Okay, let him come in." Guo Nian said.
Then, the lieutenant turned around and left.
Not long after, a figure walked in.
When Guo Nian saw that figure, Guo Nian was immediately confused: "Father, you... why are you here?"
"If I don't come, how will you defeat Zhao's 200,000-strong army?" Guo Yi said with a smile.
"Father, do you already have a solution?" Guo Nian asked hurriedly.
"Of course." Guo Yi nodded.
Guo Nian was immediately overjoyed. His father was personally in charge, and Guo Nian felt confident in his heart. Who was his father? He was a god above the nine heavens. He could not forget the scene where he took him to the sky and escaped to the earth.
With Guo Yi here, Guo Nian placed almost all his hopes on Guo Yi.
Ten days later.
The 200,000-strong army of the two brothers Ji Ning and Ji Yuan gathered outside the canyon pass. The 200,000-strong army was vast and endless as far as the eye could see. Under the mountain, there were endless tents, with piles of bonfires lit, and the soldiers slept around the bonfires.
Those who live in the camps are all middle-level cadres and above.
