Chapter 196: Trade the lives of millions of people in exchange for peace of mind in Daliang City!
After issuing orders one after another, Zhao Wangyan couldn't stop coughing again.
Facing the worried looks of the ministers, King Zhao Yan waved his hand.
Guo Kai immediately shouted: "Retreat from the court!"
After the ministers retreated, Guo Kai trotted to Zhao Wangyan's side, took out an elixir from the drawer and sent it to Zhao Wangyan In the mouth.
After more than a hundred breaths passed after swallowing the elixir, Zhao Wangyan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiang Guo, you understand me."
"But your advice today is not of the level you should be."
Guo felt nervous.
Zhao Wangyan’s ability to identify information is extremely weak, and he trusts Guo Kai very much, so he will be easily deceived by the wrong information provided by Guo Kai.
But being able to become King Zhao as the third son proves that King Zhao Yan’s IQ is not bad.
It was not easy for Guo Kai to deceive Zhao Wangyan when the intelligence information was comparable.
Fortunately, Guo Kai had already thought of a countermeasure.
Facing Zhao Wangyan's dull gaze, Guo Kai smiled bitterly and asked: "Does the king really think that the three countries will rescue Wei?"
Zhao Wangyan said in a deep voice: "Ruo San The king still has some intelligence and courage, so he knows that Qin has become stronger and must seize any opportunity to weaken Qin. "
"And this battle is a great opportunity!"
"If Mao Sui talks about it again, I think there will be countries willing to reinforce Wei or send troops to attack Zhao."
Guo Kai shook his head: "I don't think so."
“Qi is willing to serve Qin, Yan is weak, and Chu is still in turmoil.”
“I boldly judge that the king of Qi has no courage to become an enemy of Qin, and the kings of Yan and Chu intend to reinforce him but There is no way.”
“So my intention is to fight hard to preserve the current situation and prevent Qin from further expansion.”
Guo Kai concealed his true purpose in an understatement, sounding flawless.
Finally, Guo Kai bowed his hands and saluted: "But this strategy is indeed too dangerous for our great Zhao, and the king's strategy is the right one."
After a few breaths of silence, King Zhao Yan sighed quietly. : "I don't know that the three kings are cowardly!"
"I just hope that the three kings can stand up for once, or that King Wei Zeng can solve the problem of Daliang City."
"If not, I will also You can only protect me, Da Zhao!”
Guo Kai's words touched Zhao Wangyan's heart.
Zhao Wangyan also believed that it was unlikely that Qi, Yan, and Chu would send troops.
But Zhao Wangyan had no choice!
With four teammates unable to carry him, Zhao Wangyan could only protect himself first, in order to have a chance of survival.
Can Zhao really be saved without reinforcements to Wei?
Just as Zhao Huan said, if the Wei Kingdom is destroyed, Chang'an Jun's troops can go directly north to the Zhao Kingdom and attack Handan City from both sides.
How should Zhao State resist at that time!
The dull mood made Zhao Wangyan cough again.
Guo Kai quickly patted Zhao Wangyan's back gently and handed him warm water.
When King Zhao's situation calmed down a bit, Guo Kaicai sincerely advised him: "I advise the king not to worry about political affairs anymore."
"Your Majesty, please believe in King Wei and General Pang!"
"Today, Wei State still has more than 100,000 troops, which is not much different from Qin State's military strength. Moreover, it has insight into Qin State's plan in advance. Wei State is not We are in a doomed situation."
"On the contrary, as long as General Pang can properly handle Chang'an Lord's flooding strategy, General Pang and Wei can actually hold back the Qin army for our great Zhao. An army of one hundred thousand!”
Analyzing the strength on paper, Zhao Wei is not bound to lose, and Qin is not bound to win.
The victory or defeat of all three parties can be determined by a single thought!
Zhao Wangyan nodded lightly: "What Prime Minister Guo said makes sense."
Guo Kai persuaded in a gentle voice: "This battle will take a long time, so please take care of yourself."
"Political affairs The strategy can be left to the consideration of the ministers. How about asking the king to rest for a day?"
King Zhao looked at him and said, "Have a rest today?"
Guo Kai chuckled: " Nülu listens to the music!”
...
At the same time, Wei Jiu roared angrily: "Crash into me!"
"At all costs, fight back to Daliang City!"
While shouting, Wei Jiu shouted Jiu got off his seat and the flying boat ran into the Qin army's sampan boat.
The two Wei soldiers stretched out their long hooked spears and hooked them tightly on the planks of the Qin army's ship. Wei Jiu stepped on the planks and flew toward the Qin army's sampan.
"Left!"
Beheaded a Qin soldier with one knife. After opening the gap, Wei Jiu quickly moved to the left side of the sampan.
Wei Jiu's soldiers also followed Wei Jiu and jumped to the left side of the sampan.
Under the shift of the center of gravity, the Qin Army's sampan shook violently. The Qin Army, who was not good at water warfare, could not stand steadily. Not to mention maintaining combat power, he could not even stay standing!
Wei Jiu shouted: "Kill!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Qin army was shaky and unable to fight, Wei Jiu jumped back to the middle of the sampan and harvested a Qin army's head with the long knife in his hand.
Behind Wei Jiu, several soldiers held long hooked spears and stabbed continuously, cooperating with Wei Jiu to slaughter the entire ship!
Wiping the blood from his face, Wei Jiu gasped for air.
Wei Jiu's troops left Daliang City without any obstruction, as if Qin had no navy at all.
But when Wei Jiu's troops left the Yellow River and sailed into the Honggou water system, more than a thousand Qin warships blocked Wei Jiu's troops one after another!
Fortunately, the Qin army's ships were all small sampans and no large ships, and the Qin army officers were not good at water warfare.
After suffering more than half of the casualties, Wei Jiu's troops finally defeated the Qin army!
Smoothing his breath, Wei Jiu shouted loudly: "Soldiers, do you know why the Qin army fought so hard to intercept us?"
Attracting the attention of the entire army, Wei Jiu said in a deep voice Said: "Because the Qin army is afraid!"
"The Qin army is afraid that our army will discover their conspiracy, because once their conspiracy is discovered, it will pose no threat to our Daliang City."
"As long as we bring the news we discovered back to Daliang City, Daliang City will be safe."
"And all the kings will also receive generous rewards from the king!"
"This is to save the Wei Dynasty from generals. What a great contribution!”
After a fierce battle and more than half of them were lost, the morale of the Wei navy was very low.
But the generous reward proposed by Wei Jiu inspired all the soldiers.
All they want to do is go home. As long as they can return home, they will not only be able to see their families, but also receive a heavy reward from the king. With double happiness at their doorstep, why should they quit?
Jumping back into his flying boat, Wei Jiu shouted proudly: "Soldiers, get back to the boat and go home!"
"We will bring victory to Wei !”
“Great Wei Wansheng”
The remaining thousands of Wei troops all shouted:
"Go home!"
The Wei troops assembled in flying boats, formed a water battle formation, and rapidly advanced towards Daliang City.
After two days of sailing and repelling three groups of Qin naval forces, Wei Jiu's troops finally entered the city along the north water gate of Daliang City.
Wei Wangzeng came quickly when he saw Wei Jiu's troops.
The first time Wei Jiu entered the city, Wei Wang Zeng asked loudly: "Mr. Ningling, are you okay?"
Before the boat stopped, Wei Jiu jumped off the flying boat and quickly ran to Wei Wang Zeng and bowed his hands: "Your Majesty, I'm so worried about you!"
Wei Jiu didn't wait for the King of Wei to say a few more words of concern. Seeing 30,000 Qin troops digging embankments in the inner Yellow River section!"
Gao Min and other ministers looked at each other.
They didn’t expect that the Qin army actually went to dig river embankments!
If Ying Chengyu succeeds in breaking the embankment and diverting water to flood Daliang City, then Ying Chengyu will use his actual actions to prove that Lord Xinling is right, and that both King Anli and King Zeng of Wei are wrong!
The dead Lord Xinling will slap his hands crazily on the faces of the monarchs and ministers of the two dynasties of Wei!
No!
It would be okay if it was just a slap in the face, but if Ying Chengyu really succeeded in diverting water to flood Daliang City, then the Wei Kingdom would be dead!
The king of Wei will become the king of the subjugated country, and they are also the ministers of the subjugated country!
Wang Zeng of Wei looked at Pang Nuan and said: "General Pang's guess was correct."
Pang Nuan sighed softly: "The foreign minister would rather the foreign minister was wrong!"
Securing Daliang City, Pang Nuan Nuan is confident that it will last more than a year.
But when Daliang City itself was threatened, Pang Nuan had to choose to leave Daliang City and take the initiative to launch an attack.
The significance of this fortified city has also been greatly reduced!
Looking around at the gloomy ministers, King Wei smiled and said: "My dear friends, why should you worry?"
"What if the Qin army really intends to break the dike?"
"Is it true that I, the great Wei Dynasty There is no way to fight back!”
“We, the navy of the Wei Dynasty, must destroy the invading Qin army!”
“Jun Ningling!”
Wei Jiu immediately handed over his hand: "I am here!"
Wei Wang Zeng said in a deep voice: "We will allocate five hundred flying boats, three hundred small wings, one hundred large wings, fifty sudden ones, and three tower ships. , sailed a ship and sent the navy under Lord Ningling's command."
"Order! Lord Ningling led the navy to carry 40,000 troops and horses..."
Pang Nuan did not go. Listen to Wei Wang Zeng's order.
The resources in Daliang City, the water system outside Daliang City and the judgment of Ying Chengyu are constantly intertwined in Pang Nuan's mind.
Just when Wei Wangzeng was about to finish his order, Pang Nuan suddenly interrupted Wei Wangzeng's words and said in a deep voice: "There are so many places where the Qin army can break the embankment, but they chose to dig in the inner Huangcheng river section."
"The foreign minister has to think that this is what Lord Chang'an did deliberately to show our army."
"Therefore, the foreign minister thinks that the first strategy of Lord Chang'an is to divert water, and the second one is to involve our army. Troops."
Pang Nuan's behavior was very rude, but Wei Wangzeng had no time to care about etiquette and face.
After thinking for a moment, Wei Wangzeng asked in a deep voice: "General Pang thinks this is the Qin army's strategy?"
Pang Nuan nodded and said: "That's right!"
"The Wei navy is indeed brave, but if you want to completely annihilate the Qin army, you need to fight on land."
"If the Qin army cannot be completely annihilated, the Qin army will The army can completely replace the river embankment and dig again every time it is repulsed. "
"Our army has to send naval divisions to explore the water system, and every time it finds that the enemy has breached the embankment, it sends troops out of the city to fight."< br>
“Every time we leave the city to fight, our army may fall into the Qin army’s trap!”
Wei Wangzeng asked: "What kind of trap?"
Pang Nuan shook his head: "The foreign minister doesn't know, but the foreign minister knows that Chang'an Lord will not do meaningless things."
"This person is cautious. I don't want to leave thirty thousand Qin troops in Neihuang City on the border of Zhao and Wei for nothing."
Pang Nuan said firmly: "These soldiers and horses are just bait. Lord Chang'an is waiting for me, Zhao Wei. Devour!"
Wei Wangzeng frowned: "General Pang's advice is reasonable, but I can't let the Qin army dig the river embankment!"
"In this case, I rushed out with heavy troops and severely damaged the Qin army, so that the Qin army did not dare to breach the dike again!"
Pang Nuan asked in return: "Can our army be able to completely annihilate the Qin army? "
"Can our army be able to severely damage the Qin army?"
"If our army can really inflict heavy damage on the Qin army, why should our army retreat to Daliang City?"
After asking three times in a row, King Zeng of Wei was speechless.
If the Wei army could really inflict heavy losses on the Qin army, then Wei would not have to worry about the Qin army breaching the embankment and diverting water!
Wei Wangzeng’s idea is logically a paradox!
Quickly suppressing his embarrassment, King Zeng of Wei bowed his hands to Pang Nuan and saluted: "What should I do in the Wei Dynasty? Please teach me, General!"
Pang Nuan returned the salute and said in a deep voice: "Wai The minister advised the navy not to fight with the Qin army after leaving the city. "
" Instead, the navy was ordered to go straight to the Yellow River embankment and take the initiative to breach it! "
Hearing Pang Nuan's words, Gao Min and other ministers exclaimed:
"No!"
"How can we, the Wei Dynasty, dig our own river embankments? This is no different from digging our own graves!"
“No matter where the river embankments are dug, the water of the Yellow River will surely overflow into the Wei Kingdom, and how many people will be submerged by the river water!”
Wei Wangzeng’s face also became ugly: "General Pang wants the few to decide the Yellow River embankment on their own."
"At the expense of millions of people, in exchange for the safety of Daliang City?!"
