Hou Sheng was shocked, and hurriedly said: "I have no objection."
Qi Wangjian snorted and said: "In this case, then order Kuang Liang to lead the army to resist Zhao, and then send envoys to the other princes to ask for help, and Hou Qing will be responsible for going to Handan to discuss peace! If you have no objections, you can handle it accordingly .”
After Qi Wangjian finished speaking, he got up and left directly, leaving a room of Qi ministers looking at each other in blank dismay.
The military and state affairs are really annoying, but only the stalwart mind of the beautiful dancer can comfort the king.
Chapter 495 The King Has Been Driven Crazy! (third change)
Tao Yi.
"The State of Zhao led an army of 20 to attack the State of Qi with Lian Po as a general, and already surrounded Gaotang, one of the five capitals of the State of Qi?"
After Wei Wangyu heard the news, the expression on his face looked a little strange. He didn't know whether it was gloating, relieved, or both.
After a while, Wei Wangyu spoke slowly.
"Duan Qing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"
Duan Ganzi sat in front of Wei Wangyu, while thinking, carefully observed Wei Wangyu's expression with his eyes.
Several months have passed since Mrs. Zhongshan's death.
In the past few months, Duan Ganzi can be said to have had unlimited glory. Not only has he won the military power with the support of Wei Wangyu, he has also dismissed a large number of Wei Wuji supporters in the army. into his own hands.
But it's not all good news.
Since Mrs. Zhongshan's death, Wei Wangyu's character has obviously undergone some changes.
Temperament changed drastically.
The king began to become more cruel and cold-blooded.
Just now, when Duan Ganzi accompanied Wei Wangyu to the court meal, he saw with his own eyes that a court lady was furious by the furious Wei Wangyu just because she spilled a few drops of soup in the tripod while placing the dishes. After a while of cursing, he ordered people to drag him out and beat him to death with sticks.
In the past few months, Wei Wangyu has executed dozens of palace servants with the same or similar reasons.
It wasn't just the palace people, after regaining part of the power from Wei Wuji, Wei Wangyu's butcher knife was also raised to the ministers of Wei State.
Eight Wei ministers had been executed by Wei Wangyu during this period.
If it wasn't for Xiangbang Wei Wuji's strong dissuasion, this number would at least double.
What's even more frightening is that it wasn't just Wei Wuji's faction that died, two of Duan Ganzi's subordinates were also killed because of their incompetence.
This king went crazy and even killed his own people.
This is why Duan Ganzi is so cautious now.
It's like walking on eggshells.
Duan Ganzi thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the army of Zhao State is powerful now, and there is no country in the world that can defeat it. If you send troops, it may be difficult to win, and it will also violate the covenant of the Three Jin Dynasties. Why not discuss with Zhao State?"
"Don't say anything about the Three Jin Covenant in front of the widow!" Wei Wangyu slapped the table heavily, his face full of displeasure: "The widow will not bow down in front of Zhao Dan's child!"
Duan Ganzi was taken aback by Wei Wangyu's sudden anger, and his whole body trembled with a degree visible to the naked eye: "Your Majesty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty!"
Wei Wangyu glanced at Duan Ganzi coldly: "The widow is asking you what to do, not asking you to come and plead guilty to the widow!"
When Duan Ganzi was stared at by Wei Wangyu, he actually felt shuddering.
In fact, Duan Ganzi knew why Wei Wangyu's temperament changed so drastically.
Mrs. Zhongshan was pregnant when she died
Under the current situation, Wei Wangyu took it for granted that the child in Mrs. Zhongshan's womb belonged to Wei Wuji.
This is actually a very serious matter. Suppose Mrs. Zhongshan gave birth to this child, and then this child will become the king of Wei in the future
Duan Ganzi forcibly interrupted his thoughts, he can't think about this matter anymore, Wei Wangyu is staring at him now.
People always have to go through something to change.
Wearing a green hat, and dying a woman, what's worse is that as a country's monarch, he still can't do anything to his opponent. With these multiple stimuli and the accumulated resentment, it's not normal for Wei Wangyu to remain unchanged. .
Duan Ganzi, who was sweating profusely from being stared at by King Wei of Wei, thought for a while, and said bravely, "Your Majesty, last year Qi and Wei attacked Zhao together and almost broke Handan. King Zhao must hate this deeply. Therefore The two countries of Qi and Wei are really on the verge of dying, and I dare to ask the king to send troops to help Qi!"
"Oh?" Wei Wangyu took a deep look at Duan Ganzi, with a half-smile on his mouth: "Why, how do I remember that you just persuaded the widow to seek peace from Zhao Guo?"
The sweat on Duan Ganzi's forehead grew even more. The reason why he persuaded you to ask Zhao Guo for peace just now was because he couldn't beat Zhao Guo.
But now that your tone is so obvious that you want to fight Zhao Guo, then this battle must be fought if you don't fight it.
As a minister who knows current affairs, Duan Ganzi very wisely chose the latter between national interests and pleasing the king.
So Duan Ganzi immediately put on a look of sincerity and fear, and said: "I didn't think carefully, please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Wei Wangyu snorted heavily, and said, "If my widow gives you a hundred thousand troops, will you be able to defeat Zhao Jun?"
Duan Ganzi showed a troubled expression on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, the Zhao army has a total of 20 people, and there is a famous general like Lian Po leading the army at that time. I am afraid it will be difficult to win."
Wei Wangyu slapped the table again, and shouted at Duan Ganzi: "War can't be fought, what use do I need you as a general?"
Duan Ganzi was bluffed out of his wits, hurriedly left the table and knelt down, throwing himself on the ground: "I am incompetent, please punish me!"
Wei Wangyu stared at Duan Ganzi for a long time, until he saw the sweat dripping from Duan Ganzi's forehead and even started to gather together, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth .
"Get up."
"Thank you, my lord!" Duan Ganzi, who felt relieved after walking through the gate of hell, got up, only to find that his whole body was already drenched with sweat.
Wei Wangyu didn't continue to pay attention to Duan Ganzi, but said after pondering for a long time: "Duan Qing, if Wei Wuji leads the troops to fight, do you think he might be Lian Po's opponent?"
Duan Ganzi was shocked when he heard the words, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there is something wrong with this matter. Now that you have just won the military power from Wei Wuji, how can you hand it back to Wei Wuji?"
Wei Wangyu slapped the table impatiently, and shouted: "What are you doing talking about those insignificant things? Just answer the widow's questions!"
Duan Ganzi had no choice but to say: "My lord, last year the main force of the Zhao army was located in Guanzhong, and Handan's defenses were extremely empty. Under such circumstances, Wei Wuji was still unable to break through Handan. Now that Lian Po leads the main force of the Zhao army to fight, Wei Wuji will never win. reason."
Wei Wangyu hummed, but did not speak.
Duan Ganzi tentatively asked: "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to repeat what happened at Mangmao back then?"
In 273 BC, shortly after Wei Wangyu took the throne, a great battle called the Battle of Huayang broke out between Wei Zhao and Qin Han.
At that time, Meng Changjun, the Prime Minister of the State of Wei, recommended Mangmao as a general. As a result, Mangmao was defeated by Baiqi. More than [-] Wei troops were wiped out, and [-] Zhao troops were killed by the way.
Wei Wangyu and Wei Wuji took advantage of this to force Mengchang Juntian to retreat from the position of Xiangbang of Wei State, thus ending the era of Tian's control of Wei State.
