Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 434

The visitor bent down and saluted Wei Wuji respectfully.

"Tang Qie has seen Your Majesty."

Wei Wuji nodded slightly, and said, "How is the battle going on in the Qi army?"

Tang Qi said in a deep voice: "The strength of the Qi army's attack on the city these days is obviously not as good as before. I suspect that the Qi people may secretly have some contact with Zhao."

Wei Wuji let out a long breath, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly shook his head and said: "The only thing that can influence Kuang Liang is Qi Xiang's victory, but although this person is greedy for money, since Qi Wang Jian has already made a decision, so Hou Sheng should not be holding back in secret. Later, you will go to the Qi camp as a messenger and say that I want to meet with General Kuang Liang tomorrow."

This is where the troubles of the coalition campaign come in.

After all, Qi State and Wei State are two different countries. Although it is said that Wei State’s army is the main force and Qi State’s assistant in attacking Handan this time, Wei Wuji doesn’t think he can directly skip Kuangliang and issue orders to Qi State’s army. Specific combat orders.

Tang Qi responded, and then took out a silk book from his bosom.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Daliang City."

Wei Wuji was stunned for a moment, then took the urgent report from Tang Qie.

To be honest, Wei Wuji was a little worried at the moment, could it be that Duan Ganzi was secretly doing something behind his back?

Ever since that meeting with Zhao Dan, Wei Wuji had already sent someone to spy on Duan Ganzi.

It's just that Duan Ganzi seemed very cautious these days, and didn't find any excuses for Wei Wuji.

But Wei Wuji knew very well in his heart that as long as he continued to monitor, Duan Ganzi would show his feet sooner or later.

To be honest, if Wei Wangyu knew about this kind of faction's spying on political opponents, then Wei Wangyu would definitely have a great fear of Wei Wuji in his heart.

But since Wei Wuji already knew that Duan Ganzi might be the traitor who secretly made friends with Zhao Guo at this moment, Wei Wuji couldn't control so much.

With some worry, Wei Wuji opened the urgent report from Daliang City.

The content of this emergency report is very short.

But it was this short content that made Wei Wuji read it back and forth several times before putting it down.

After putting down the urgent letter in his hand, Wei Wuji's face was already full of seriousness.

"Qin was defeated in the battle of Wangcheng, and South Korea has sent [-] troops, and together with [-] Zhao cavalry, they invaded Wei from the west!"

Every word on this made Wei Wuji feel trembling.

For some reason, an idiom suddenly appeared in Wei Wuji's mind at this moment.

Surround Wei to save Zhao.

Wei Wuji suddenly discovered that his judgment of Qin State had been wrong all along.

Qin's defeat was short and fast, much faster than Wei Wuji expected.

And in this urgent report, Wei Wangyu also asked Wei Wuji to dispatch troops to help immediately, otherwise, the country of Wei is now empty, and Daliang City is likely to be surrounded.

But now the siege of Handan City has reached its most intense time. If troops are drawn back from the front line at this time, it will be almost impossible to conquer Handan City.

If this is the case, isn't all the efforts Wei Guo made before in this battle all in vain?

But if he didn't send troops back to help, then once Daliang City was surrounded, how would Wei Wuji face the coming blame from Wei Wangyu?

Dilemma.

Wei Wuji suddenly discovered that the situation he was facing at this moment was very similar to the predicament faced by Wei Guo's General Pang Juan back then!

Once upon a time, Wei Wuji also laughed at Pang Juan's hesitation and despised Pang Juan's stupidity.

But only when he was really facing such an environment at this moment, Wei Wuji realized that it was really a very embarrassing thing to make a choice and a decision under such a dilemma.

In history, when Pang Juan was faced with besieging Wei and saving Zhao, the choice she made was to break through Handan City of Zhao State first, and then return to aid Daliang City.

The result of doing so, in fact, both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that after Handan City was breached, the rising momentum of Zhao State was hit hard. It took at least ten years to recover, and it did not pose a major threat to Wei State in the following decades.

The disadvantage is that Pang Juan was defeated by his army in the subsequent return aid, and the elite of Wei State suffered heavy losses, which directly led to the irreversible trend of the overlord Wei State's whereabouts.

If you look at it this way, in fact, as long as you break through Handan and don't make any mistakes on the way back to aid, you shouldn't go back to Pang Juan's old path, right?

After being silent and struggling for a long time, Wei Wuji finally made a decision.

"Immediately call all the generals to come to a meeting, and increase the offensive force tomorrow, so as to break through Handan as soon as possible!"

Chapter 428 Li Mu who underestimates the enemy? (Second more)

It was already late spring and early summer, the weather was starting to get a little hot, and the scorching heat in the air was starting to be unbearable.

On the land of the State of Wei, an army of nearly 12 is marching mightily towards the east.

This large army included a total of [-] Korean troops and Li Mu's [-] cavalry.

In terms of numbers, the South Korean army undoubtedly accounted for the majority, but in this coalition army, the young Zhao Guo general Li Mu was actually the one who could really lead the army's decision-making.

This is evident from the ongoing conversation.

The South Korean general Jin Yan rode a black steed and walked side by side with Li Mu, pointed to the majestic city on the horizon not far in front of him, and said to Li Mu: "General Li Mu, that place is Daliang, the capital of Wei State. the city."

Li Mu nodded, looked towards the direction Li Mu pointed, and found a majestic city standing on the plain, with extraordinary momentum.

Li Mu thought for a while, and said to Jin Fu, "General Jin Fu, would you like to go with me to investigate the situation in Daliang City?"

Jin Biao was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said with a smile: "Since the general speaks, then Jin Bie has everything he can do."

So the two led hundreds of guards and galloped out on horseback, galloping towards Daliang City several miles away.

After a while, the two arrived outside Daliang City.

The Zhao cavalry who took the first step have cleared all the enemy's situation outside Daliang City, and the Wei people have obviously been alerted to the arrival of the two armies. All the gates of Daliang City have been completely closed. From time to time, many Wei soldiers can be seen walking back and forth.

Li Mu stopped outside the firing range of Wei Jun's crossbow, pointed at the Liangcheng in front of him with a smile, and said to Jin Fu beside him, "General Jin Fu, what did you see?"

Jin Fu frowned and looked at Daliang City in front of him. After a while, he said, "The city is high and thick, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If you want to break through this fortified city, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort."

Since the capital was moved, the State of Wei has managed the city for hundreds of years. During these hundred years, it is unknown how many countries have come under the capital, but no country has ever been able to successfully attack it. This fortified city.

But for Jin Yan's words, Li Mu obviously didn't take it seriously.

I saw a hearty smile on the face of the young General Zhao Guo, and said to Jin Fu: "General, what I have seen is different from you. I only saw two people in this city. The word, that is fear."

Li Mu continued: "Now that the main force of Wei State is fighting outside, and the capital is empty, all we need to do is to take this Daliang City in one fell swoop, then Wei State must be defeated like a mountain, and we have to bow our knees to seek peace. At such a moment, it is you and me. This is a good opportunity for the two to make contributions!"
