Chapter 1780 The State of Chu that won without a fight


    Chapter 1778: The State of Chu that won without a fight


    Although Sun Wu was suppressing the Japanese, he quelled Danyang Shanyue, but he also delayed his time. After arriving in Wujun, the Japanese pirates had already escaped early.


    Tokugawa Ieyasu and Akechi Mitsuhide had already grabbed enough money and food. When they learned that Jiangxia''s main force of the Wu army had returned, they decisively chose to return to Japan, which made Sun Wu, who was going to encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates, vanished.


    At this point, Sun Wu became the only defeated prince of the Han Dynasty among the Japanese suppression.


    You should know that even Wang Mang from the Three Koreans wiped out all the Japanese pirates who invaded the territory, but the powerful country that occupied the entire Jiangdong made the Japanese pirates run away. This incident also greatly damaged the prestige of Sun Jian and Wu.


    Let’s talk about Liu Xiu’s side.


    Liu Xiucai occupied 57 counties in seven counties in Jiaozhou, and it was the best time to rest and recuperate, but Shu Han came to him to join forces to fight against Qin.


    This opportunity is really rare. Since Liu Ji is willing to be the first to be the first, Liu Xiu naturally cannot miss this opportunity, so Shu Han joined forces to attack Qin Hao.


    But Liu Xiu was not stupid either and was unwilling to confront the Qin army head-on, so he sent 50,000 troops to attack Qin Hao''s tyrant, Huang Zu, Jiangxia.


    After occupying Jiangxia, Chu State will gain an absolute advantage in its strategy against Wu.


    If the Wu State invades again in the future, Chu State can send troops from Jiangxia, Changsha and Jiaozhou, so that Wu State can take care of the head but cannot take care of the tail, and it will be invincible in its strategic direction.


    Liu Xiu knew the importance of Jiangxia, and Sun Jian naturally knew it. So in order to prevent Liu Xiu from occupying Jiangxia and at the same time seize the strategic location of Jiangxia, Sun Jian personally led a 100,000 army to support Huang Zu.


    Liu Xiu didn''t expect that Sun Jian would be so fierce this time, and he led an army of 100,000 to Jiangxia at one time. This is to fight a national war with him!


    If it were normal, Liu Xiu would naturally not be afraid of Sun Jian, but at this time, the people in Jiaozhou had not returned, and the foreign race had not yet completely surrendered, so he could not gather all the troops from all over the country.


    However, since Sun Jian wanted to fight, Liu Xiu naturally could not retreat without a fight.


    The total strength of the Eastern Wu and Jiangxia Alliance is as high as 130,000.


    In order to fight against the Sun-Huang Alliance, Liu Xiu had to increase his troops and recruited 10,000 troops from the three counties of Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang, and the total strength of Chu State in Jiangxia also reached 80,000.


    The chances of winning against 80,000 are still not great, not to mention that Sun Wu, the contemporary military master, also had Sun Wu, so Liu Xiu gritted his teeth and recruited 30,000 Taiping surrendered troops from Jiaozhou.


    In this way, the total strength of the Chu army in Jiangxia can reach 110,000. Although it is still at a disadvantage in terms of force, the gap will not be too big.


    For the sake of Jiangxia, Liu Xiu conscripted a total of 110,000 troops, which was already the limit of Chu State. If he was dispatching troops, it would be difficult to ensure that there would be no unrest in the rear.


    In fact, when the war hit this point, Liu Xiu knew that it would be difficult to occupy Jiangxia this time, but he was still unwilling to retreat, just because once he lost to Sun Jian in terms of momentum, it would mean that Chu State lost to Wu State.


    The confrontation between countries may be defeated in one move, so Liu Xiu will never show weakness to Sun Jian.


    The three forces of Sun, Liu and Huang, totaling 240,000 troops, gathered in a small place like Jiangxia. The daily money and food consumed are astronomical. No one can bear it after a long time, but the three parties seem to be in a hurry at all.


    The Sun, Liu and Huang families all had a very tacit understanding. No one directly provoked a big war or a decisive battle. Instead, they continued to test their opponents through small battles.


    In the one-month three-party competition, the three companies had amphibious battles of no less than a hundred times, and they all suffered considerable casualties, but no one could do anything to each other. However, overall, Liu Xiu''s side was at a disadvantage. Just as Liu Xiu was about to be unable to hold on and was about to stop the Sun and Huang family, news of the attack of Japanese pirates suddenly came.


    Japanese pirates burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil, greatly destroying the stability and prosperity of the Wu Kingdom, which made Liu Xiu see a glimmer of hope for success.


    Liu Xiu had been persistent in retracting his troops before because he knew that once he retreated, Sun Jian would definitely annex Huang Zu directly. At that time, he would want to take back Jiangxia from Sun Jian, which would be ten times more difficult than Huang Zu''s hands.


    However, the Sun-Huang Alliance is too strong. Before Chu completely digests the results of Jiaozhou, it cannot chew the alliance between the two companies. Even if it continues to stay and hold on, it will only waste money and food, so it is better to withdraw the troops as soon as possible.


    But now the situation is different.


    The Japanese pirates were too destructive on the coast of Jiangdong, and Sun Jian could not be indifferent to the destruction of these Japanese pirates, so sooner or later they would draw some troops back to suppress the Japanese, and this was Liu Xiu''s chance to win.


    What Liu Xiu did not expect was that even though the Japanese pirates were destroying the coast, Sun Jian did not mobilize troops from the front line, but instead sent his two sons back to take charge of the overall situation.


    Sun Jian''s behavior also made Liu Xiu realize his determination to occupy Jiangxia. If he continues to lead the army and stay in Jiangxia, a decisive battle with Wu will break out sooner or later.


    Just as Liu Xiu had the idea of ??withdrawing his troops again, another good news came from Jiangdong that was beneficial to him. Sun Quan failed to suppress the Japanese and was defeated by the Japanese pirates. The disaster of the Japanese pirates was already uncontrollable.


    After learning this news, I honestly wanted to be honest with Liu Xiu, but was surprised that the Japanese pirates would have such strong combat power?


    Afterwards, Liu Xiu still did nothing and just kept the camp firmly, but news that was beneficial to him came one after another.


    Japanese pirates along the coast were completely flooded, and 300,000 people lost their homes and became victims, requiring a lot of money and food to be resettled.


    The alien races of Shanyue were ready to move and eventually rebel together, and the entire Wu Kingdom was full of war.


    After these news was returned, the generals of Chu State were suddenly filled with joy.


    They obviously did nothing and were even ready to withdraw their troops and return to their country, but the Wu State inexplicably brought a series of disasters, even putting the entire country on the verge of destruction. It was as if God was blessing them with Chu State.


    Liu Xiu was naturally very happy about this. He knew that Sun Jian would definitely not be able to hold on and would withdraw his troops sooner or later return to Wu to suppress Shanyue and encircle and suppress the Japanese pirates.


    Sure enough, after a few days, all the Wu army evacuated from Jiangxia. It is naturally impossible for the Jiangxia army to be the opponent of the 110,000 Chu army alone.


    The State of Chu has won without a fight.


    "Everyone, Sun Jian has been guilty of his crimes against the heavens. This natural disaster in Wu is proof of this."


    Liu Xiu looked at the people below with a burning look and said with a smile: "And our Chu State follows the will of heaven and naturally receives the blessing of heaven. This Jiangxia County should be owned by our Chu State.


    Pass the order down, attack the whole line, and occupy Jiangxia. ”


    "Promise." The generals responded in unison.


    ?The second update is... The monthly ticket exceeds 500, and the additional chapter is added. At present, there are still 11 chapters in total.


    ??
