Chapter 175 The Ying brothers are all cunning villains, I, Zhao, am just toothless!
Left Prime Minister Wei holds a scalpel in his hand, standing at the top of the surveillance system, looking down at those idiots who are unwilling to be used by Ying Zheng!
Guo Wei Wei Liao, holding a boning knife, went deep into the military and was already embarking on a major reform of military regulations!
Two sharp blades were in the hands of Ying Zheng, and he used the fog of war to carry out exquisite internal operations on Da Qin.
Ying Zheng did not seek to complete his achievements in one battle, nor did he hope to destroy Zhao in one battle.
Ying Zheng started this war only to serve his political demands.
But all the countries in the world have become nervous.
Wei Wangzeng was even more panicked!
Five years ago, Da Qin attacked Wei, captured more than 20 cities, and established Dongjun.
Four years ago, Da Qin seized the Chaoge of Wei State.
Three years ago, the Five Kingdoms' attack on Qin failed, and Qin captured several cities in Wei's territory.
Since King Zeng of Wei came to the throne, Wei has never defeated Da Qin.
Now Wang Zeng of Wei has already suffered from the Great Qin phobia. On the day when Wei's travelers in Qin sent back the news, a famous knight rushed from Daliang City to all the countries in the world with a letter asking for help.
Following closely behind were pedestrians, lobbyists, and even Jiu Qing who came out in droves!
Ten days later, on the high platform of Handan Palace.
Zhao Wangyan, who was thirty years old at the time, was by no means old.
But his face was as pale as paper, his eye sockets were sunken, and his nose was red and swollen. If you look carefully, you can still see the red spots on his neck.
Supporting his sick body, Zhao Wangyan still showed the majesty of a king and sat solemnly.
Under the high platform.
Tang Ju, a Dianke from the state of Wei who is over 100 years old, has white hair and beard, but has a ruddy complexion, broad shoulders and a broad body. He spoke in a loud and serious voice: "In the past, Zhao, Wei and Han were all dressed in water. Brotherly Alliance.”
"Now, Han has been destroyed, and only Zhao and Wei are left with dead lips and cold teeth!"
"Now the King of Qin is promoting the destruction of Han's general Chang'an Jun to lead an army of 200,000 to attack Wei. He must be here to destroy Wei!"< br>
“If Wei dies, Zhao will be surrounded by Qin on three sides and be attacked from the back and belly.”
“Therefore, foreign ministers ask for orders and ask King Zhao to send troops to help Wei. This is to save Wei and Zhao! ”
Tang Ju said it very sincerely.
When Qin attacked Wei a few years ago, forget it if you didn't come to help. The worst result would be that Wei lost some land.
But you can’t come this time!
If you don’t come, we may be destroyed!
Then your life will not be easy either!
The king of Zhao sneered: "Last year, I sent General Pang to unite the world, but the king of Wei immediately refused!"
"I thought that the King of Wei did not understand this truth."
"But I never thought that the King of Wei actually understood this truth, and even used this truth as an excuse to ask for help from our country, Zhao, in times of crisis!"< br>
"If that's the case, why did the previous king of Wei refuse to join forces?"
"Is it because the Qin State did not send troops to attack the Wei State at that time?"
Say it. After some heart-wrenching words, King Zhao felt relieved!
When Ying Chengyu attacked South Korea, Zhao Wangyan began to dispatch troops and horses to reinforce South Korea.
Unfortunately, Ying Chengyu destroyed the country too quickly, leaving no room for Zhao Wangyan to show off!
Afterwards, the Qin State fell into internal turmoil, and Zhao Wangyan sent Pang Nuan to lobby other countries with the intention of forming the sixth vertical alliance.
In order to fight against Qin, King Yan of Zhao made great efforts despite his illness!
Because in Zhao Wangyan's view, that was definitely a good time to destroy Qin.
But in the end, all the countries still rejected Zhao Wangyan's proposal, but Zhao Wangyan was seriously ill and could not independently organize the war against Qin, so he could only sit back and watch a great opportunity slip away from him.
In Zhao Wangyan’s opinion, if it weren’t for the incompetence of these pig teammates, Qin would have perished long ago!
When I need you, you all push back and block me. When you are in trouble, you think of me.
What have you been doing!
Tang Ju handed over the throne in shame: "Wei has been repeatedly seized by Qin, and its national power is weakened. Even if it is willing to cooperate, it is unable to send troops."
"I, the monarch of the Wei Dynasty, originally intended to cultivate and live for several years, and then join forces with other countries to attack Qin and save Han's sacrifice."
"But Qin is a tiger and wolf!"
"I can't wait to destroy Han just now. "We, the Wei Dynasty, have not yet recovered our national strength and cannot bear to fight!"
Zhao Wangyan immediately refuted: "We, the Wei Dynasty, have been tired of fighting against Qin in recent years, and have fought several bloody battles with Qin!" "
"Wei is exhausted, and we, Zhao, are equally exhausted!"
Zhao Wangyan was not just talking nonsense.
In terms of lost land area, both Han and Wei far exceeded Zhao.
But in terms of the number of soldiers lost in the battle, Han and Wei combined did not have as many casualties as Zhao.
Zhao and Qin are really fighting to death!
Seeing that Zhao Wangyan was resolute and in a very bad mood, Tang Ju also knew that Wei was at fault, so he had no choice but to give the conditions first: "We, the great Wei, will be responsible for all the food and grass for Zhao's reinforcements. Baggage required ”
King Zhao Yan stopped talking.
Bargaining is really not in line with Zhao Wangyan’s status.
Zhao Xiang Guo Kai took over the conversation without any hesitation, and asked with wide eyes: "Isn't it appropriate for me, Zhao's soldiers, to help Wei Guo resist Qin State, and for Wei Guo State to bear the food and grass burden? "
"What?"
"Does King Zeng of Wei still want me, Zhao, to pay for food and then send troops to fight for his country?"
"Why!"
"Does the King of Wei think that Wei is the suzerain of Zhao?"
Tang Ju explained seriously: "The king is not just helping Wei, he is helping Wei. It is also helping Zhao."
"If Wei survives, the east side of Zhao will be stable."
"If Wei falls, Zhao will be surrounded by Qin!"
Guo Kai asked in a broken voice: "In that case, when the Qin State attacked Zhao in the past, why did the Wei State not come to the rescue for so long?" , there are things that must be known, there are things that must not be forgotten, and there are things that must not be forgotten.”
“In the past, I, Lord Xinling of the Wei Dynasty, stole the talisman to save Zhao and alleviate the difficulties in Handan!”
“Guo! How can the Prime Minister say that Wei Dynasty did not rescue Zhao State?”
Although it was Lord Xinling who came to the rescue, and the rescue was initiated by stealing the tiger talisman of the King of Wei, it obviously shows that the then Wei Dynasty Wang did not agree to launch a rescue at all.
But just tell me whether to save or not!
If I am saved, you have to accept this sentiment!
Tang Ju bowed his hands and saluted: "I hope that the King of Zhao will understand the predicament of the Wei Dynasty."
"To express my gratitude for the reinforcements, I, the Wei Dynasty, are willing to treat you as much as possible." ! ”
“We, the Wei Dynasty, are willing to pay double the number of reinforcements to Wei, regardless of food, supplies, or wages!”
Guo Kai said without hesitation: "Not enough!"
"If you want Zhao to send troops, Wei will have to give up at least two more cities!"
Tang Ju angrily scolded Guo Kai. : "Prime Minister Guo, the two countries Zhao and Wei have a common enemy."
"Helping Wei means helping Zhao. Why should Prime Minister Guo bother to worry about it?"
"The relationship between Zhao and Wei is as cold as a lip! ”
Grain and grass can still be planted in the future.
But if the city is lost, it is really gone.
Besides, the country of Wei really does not have much land left, and it is not willing to lose even one city!
Zhao Wangyan suddenly said: "I have always thought that my relationship with the State of Wei is a close relationship." The country is a tooth!”
"If the great Zhao dies, the Wei will lose its lips and the teeth will be cold." "If the Wei dies, we, the great Zhao, will have no teeth." ?”
On weekdays, it is rare for Wei State to come to Zhao State’s rescue, and most of the time it is Zhao State who rescues Wei State, and Zhao State has already paid a lot.
You want to send us Zhao away if you give us more food and grass?
That doesn't make sense!
Tang Ju was silent.
In the end, I could only sigh helplessly: "If Zhao helps us, the Wei Dynasty, win this battle, we, the Wei Dynasty, are willing to offer a city!"
Knowing the conditions Tang Ju can offer, There were only so many. King Zhao nodded slightly: "In that case, we can discuss this later."
"Dianke, take Tang Shangqing to settle it."
Tang Ju handed over his hands and resigned, but King Yan of Zhao was not prepared to discuss it later. Instead, he asked in a deep voice: "What do you all think, my dear friends, what should Zhao do?"
Guo Kai immediately handed over his hands: "Your Majesty. , I thought that we, the great Zhao State, should rescue the Wei State!"
"The soldiers of the Qin State are brave, and those who are trapped are food and grass."
"The State of Wei is rich in food. If the State of Qin takes it. Wei and Qin should not be trapped by food and grass, and they may even use their abundant food and grass to consume our country."
"And what the foreign minister Tang Ju said is not false."
"If Qin captures the territory of Wei, then our country, Zhao, will be surrounded by Qin on three sides, and Qin can attack our country, Zhao, from any of the three directions."
"In this case, our country, Zhao, will be in danger!"
King Yan of Zhao frowned: "However, the stronger the Qin state is, the more it seized Han land last year, so it can recruit soldiers from Han land."
"Even with the combined strength of Zhao and Wei, it is still difficult to stop Qin's military front!" "
Guo Kai said solemnly: "It is precisely because Qin is getting stronger that we, Zhao, need to take every opportunity to weaken Qin. "
"I advise you to send 250,000 troops to aid Wei!"
"Combining the superior forces of Zhao and Wei, we can wipe out Qin's eastward advancing troops in one day, and even push back the front to recapture Korea!"
Li Mu:? ? ?
Lead an army of two hundred thousand?
Are you crazy!
Li Mu immediately stepped out: "No!"
"We, Zhao, can only fight with 400,000 troops."
"If we send 250,000 troops to aid Wei, then we, Zhao, will definitely When the border is empty!”
Guo Kai said with emotion: “The border is empty? What’s even more empty is our Da Zhao granary!” If we can send these 250,000 troops to Wei State, Wei State will be responsible for the rations of these 250,000 strong men, saving a lot of food and grass for our country, Zhao.”
"More than that, Wei will be doubly in need of help."
"If Zhao sends 250,000 troops to aid Wei, we can earn enough rations for another 250,000 soldiers and horses. "
"This is food for half a million people inside and outside!"
"If we can get this surplus, Zhao will not die from hunger this year!"
The more Guo Kai said, the more excited he became: "Why not use Wei's food to fight against Zhao?"
"The truth is that I even want to throw all the soldiers of Zhao into the Wei State!"
"Why don't you want the food and grass that you got for free!"
Li Mu shouted in shock and anger: "Absurd! Ridiculous ! The most terrible thing in the world!"
"Does Prime Minister Guo only have food and grass in his eyes?"
"What should we do if the Qin State invades when all our troops and horses from Zhao State are there? ?”
Guo Kai immediately replied: "I have sent troops and horses from Wei to come back for reinforcements."
"Qin went to war with Zhao and Wei at the same time. Since Qin was weak, how many troops and horses could Qin use to attack? Our Zhao country?”
“The defenders in Zhao’s territory are enough to hold back the Qin soldiers, waiting for the reinforcements to come back!”
Li Mu asked again: “What if the barbarians from the north went south together? What should we do? "
Li Mu explained seriously: "Donghu has recovered his fighting power after ten years of training, and the Yuezhi is also ready to make a move."
"Once the emptiness of our country, the Hu people in the north, is known to the Hu people in the north, they are likely to go south to plunder!"
Guo laughed and handed over his hand: "If the Hu people in the north go south, I should ask General Li to go north to stop the Hu people!" People."
Li Mu angrily said: "This general is not omnipotent!"
"If I want to resist the barbarians in the north, I also need food, troops, and equipment!"
>
Guo Kai's smile slowly faded: "He is just a barbarian, why did he make General Li roar in the court and lose his composure in front of the king?"
Li Mu was so angry that his whole body was trembling.
A mere barbarian?
Do you know how much hard work and sacrifice this general and the robes have put in to achieve peace and prosperity for you, the Gongun princes?
Just a barbarian!
Zhao Wangyan shouted in a deep voice: "Guo Kai!"
"How can you ignore the sacrifices of the soldiers!"
Guo Kai immediately handed over his hand: "I know the crime, and I am willing to apologize to General Li!"
Zhao Wangyan has already spoken, it is Li Mu No matter how dissatisfied I was, I couldn't go into details, so I could only respond hastily: "No problem."
Immediately, he quickly changed the direction of attack: "Your Majesty, I think that King Qin and Lord Chang'an of Qin are both cunning. There may be a fraud in the attack on Wei!"
Zhao Wangyan asked in confusion: "Why is there a fraud?"
Li Mu explained seriously: "A year ago, the King of Qin ordered Qin Chang'an Lord to lead one hundred thousand troops to attack our country, Zhao."
"Chang'an Lord stayed away for a long time after he went on the expedition. Later, he stayed in Tun and beheaded his deputy general Fan Yuqi. "
"The King of Qin therefore sent an order to the world, convicting Lord Chang'an of disobeying military orders and killing his deputy, and quickly raised food and grass to recruit the rebel army."
" Lord Chang'an immediately led his army south. He was like running away in a panic. "
"At that time, everyone in the world was thinking that Lord Chang'an wanted to defect to other countries. "
All the monarchs and ministers nodded slightly.
This incident has spread widely throughout the world.
After all, a convicted general leading a hundred thousand soldiers is a very high-quality resource.
Zhao Wangyan even sent an envoy to persuade Ying Chengxuan to lead his army back to Zhao, and was willing to grant Ying Chengxuan a title.
Li Mu continued: "But after Chang'an Lord went south, he did not surrender to other countries. Instead, he led troops to attack South Korea and finally destroyed South Korea!"
"During this period, the King of Qin never withdrew his order to attack Chang'an Lord, and the rebel army was always dispatching food and grass and recruiting soldiers."
"It was not until Lord Chang'an destroyed Han that the rebel army finally The purpose of the expedition is to take over the Korean pass on behalf of Lord Chang'an."
Li Mu said solemnly: "The general will think that King Qin and Lord Qin Chang'an are both cunning villains!"
"Since the King of Qin and Lord Chang'an of Qin have openly attacked Zhao and actually destroyed Han."
"Then why can't the King of Qin and Lord Chang'an not attack Wei openly but actually attack our country, Zhao?"
If Li Mu's words were heard by Ying Zheng and Ying Chengxuan, they would definitely be trembling with anger and argue on the spot.
I am not!
I didn’t!
Stop talking nonsense!
Before Wang Di destroyed Korea, I never thought of letting Wang Di attack Korea. How could I become a cunning villain?
I will not attack the State of Zhao at all in this battle. This strategy was decided by Brother Wang. Wang Jian was the commander of the attack on Zhao. I am just following orders. How can I become a cunning villain?
The cunning one is clearly the Wang brother/eldest brother!
But unfortunately, no one in Zhao knew the inside story of the battle to destroy Han.
In the eyes of other countries, Ying Zheng and Ying Chengxuan's tacit cooperation without prior communication was like a well-prepared attack in the east and in the west!
Ying Chengyu and Ying Zheng might not be able to clean themselves up even if they jump into the Yellow River!
