Chapter 504 Chu Army
Zhaotong looked at Bai Yifei, who was like a pug in front of him, and couldn't help but wonder if he had overestimated the other person for so many years?
For more than ten years, Bai Yifei has been leading his Blood-Cloaked Guards to guard the Blood-Cloaked Fort. He is considered the first-line combat force against the State of Chu. He has always been well regarded within the State of Chu.

After all, no matter whether we can win or not, at least the other party has the courage to lead the weaklings like South Korea to resist our King Chu's teacher. From this point of view, it is not impossible to give the other party a Shangyou rating.

But the current Bai Yifei doesn’t look like a famous general at all. He looks like a traitor no matter how you look at him.

No, it's a traitor to Korea!

The Blood Robe Fort is located at the top of a canyon between two mountains. If the Chu army wants to advance straight ahead, they must remove this thorn. Otherwise, the enemy will attack their food supplies from behind or send troops to harass them, which will interfere with the army.

This is also a question often raised by a lot of military novices. Since sieges were so difficult in ancient times, why not just go around them?

All I can say is that they are really smart. They have thought of problems that many emperors and generals throughout history have never thought of!
If they just sent troops to carry out looting, just like the Tatars seized the pass in the late Ming Dynasty, then they could naturally bypass those cities and target towns and villages.

But if you want to occupy the other party's territory, even if you know that these cities are hard nuts to crack, you still have to take them down one by one.

However, since the total area of the Tang Kingdom was only this large, as long as the Blood Clothes Fort was taken, the rear would be almost flat. Zhaotong originally thought that it would take some effort and time to break the city, but who would have thought that the other party would surrender on their own initiative.

Even though you knew when you sent out your troops that Bai Yifei would never die for the King of Tang, what does it mean that you just led your troops to surrender?

If you, Bai Yifei, were loyal to the King of Han, you should have risen up in rebellion. However, the other party became a general in the Tang State. It is said that he was the number one lackey under the command of the King of Tang and killed many nobles in Xinzheng.

And now, he was just leading the Chu army across the border, but the other side surrendered just like that, which made Zhaotong a little confused.

Traitors have always been looked down upon, especially those like Bai Yifei who betray repeatedly in a short period of time. Originally, Zhaotong could still regard him as an evenly matched opponent, but now all Zhaotong can say is that no matter in terms of military strength or character, he feels that this guy is not worth mentioning at all.

There is no way, Bai Yifei said that he actually doesn’t want this to happen!
He originally thought that Li Qingyuan was a lone man, so didn't he have the final say in the entire country?

By then, no matter if he is secretly controlling the government or using troops to elect a puppet to restore the country, he can always find a way to clear himself!

But damn, the other party is unreasonable!
First, the other party brought in a Qin envoy named Li Si, who quickly put the Tang government affairs in perfect order. Although he was only a young man in his twenties, he handled government affairs more skillfully than Zhang Kaidi, the prime minister of Han at that time, and took the power away from Bai Yifei in minutes.

Ok!

Bai Yifei was having a headache dealing with government affairs at the time. He thought that as long as the military power was in his hands, Li Si could take over the government affairs. This would save him a lot of worries!
As a result, no one knew that Li Qingyuan actually captured Fan Yuqi again from Qi State.

If it happened in later dynasties, this act of parachuting a military chief would definitely cause chaos in the army, but this is the Warring States Period!

Zhao Kuo was appointed as the supreme general to fight in the national war without having fought a single battle. Han Xin had never shown any military achievements but Liu Bang dared to appoint him as the general. Therefore, except Bai Yifei, no one had any objection to Li Qingyuan making Fan Yuqi the general.

Even the soldiers thought this was a sure thing. After all, Bai Yifei was at most a provincial player, while Fan Yuqi was a big shot who was qualified to be named in international competitions. The gap between the two was naturally incomparable.

Moreover, looking at Li Qingyuan's smiling face, Bai Yifei felt that if he dared to show the slightest displeasure at that time, he would probably be beheaded on the spot. So he had no choice but to grit his teeth and hand over the military power.

In this situation, Bai Yifei even had the idea of eating someone alive.

So when the five countries attacked the Tang Dynasty, he quickly fled back to Xueyi Fort from Xinzheng, in order to quickly become a guide so that he could be qualified to share the fruits of victory.

He even sold his cousin for this!

Bai Yifei naturally knew that the palace with Li Qingyuan in charge was definitely a more dangerous place than a den of dragons and tigers. Chao Mingzhu was simply seeking death by poisoning the harem.

But it doesn't matter.

He didn't want Chao Mingzhu to make any noise in the harem and attract someone's attention. He was afraid that he would be dropped from the sky and slapped to death by the other party as soon as he left Xinzheng.

Of course, it is better to kill someone else than to kill yourself. Chao Mingzhu thought that Bai Yifei and she were truly in love, but in fact, Bai Yifei said that he was just using that stupid woman to do things for him.

As long as I hold the power, can't I have as many women as I want?
"General Zhao, after we pass the valley ahead we will reach Xuanyuan Hill!"

Bai Yifei pointed at the mountains and forests and said to Zhaotong.

The reason why South Korea is the weakest among the seven countries is, on the one hand, because South Korea has never produced any powerful monarch-minister combination in history, and on the other hand, because South Korea’s geographical location is really too bad.

It is sandwiched between the princes, with enemies to the east, south, west and north, and there is no natural barrier to rely on. It can be said that the upper limit of its development is completely locked.

After Xuanyuan Hill is Xinzheng City. Zhaotong feels that he can reach Xinzheng City the day after tomorrow at the latest!
It is indeed difficult to conquer Xinzheng in one fell swoop with only 70,000 soldiers at hand, but Zhaotong said that the State of Chu never fights wars of annihilation, only wars for interests!
I will send troops to Xuanyuanqiu to find a place to build a city later. Let the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Zhao fight for the places in the north. I only need to take over the land of a thousand miles in the south.

The State of Chu is actually the most powerful among the seven states in terms of both population and territory, and it relies on this shameless spirit of robbery!

"Very good, my men! Once we cross the mountain, we will reach the heart of Korea. I will allow each of you to take 30% of your own spoils!"

oooooooo!
Hearing what Zhaotong said, all the Chu soldiers became excited.

Why join the army?
It's all for looting!

These days, soldiers are generally only provided with food and basically no salary. If you want salary, you can only rely on rewards during war or spoils of war.

But before the soldiers could even shout, a fire snake suddenly swooped out from the side of the road.
