Chapter 214 I would rather miss the opportunity of unification than push the king’s brother into the pit of fire!
March 15th, the tenth year of the Qin Dynasty.
Xianyang Palace, Imperial Study Room.
A group of important ministers gathered here, and Feng Quji recited in a deep voice: "Reporting to your Majesty, on February 10, ten years ago, Zhao Zuo's master Chu Long escorted Wu Suan, grain and grass, to reinforce Wu'an."
< br>"On February 25, ten years, Zhao promoted Sima Shang to the position of deputy general of the Zhao army, and sent another 150,000 troops, led by Sima Shang, to reinforce General Li Mu's department."
"Now that Zhao's army is strong, please reinforce our troops!"
"General Wang Jian, on March 13, ten years ago, he went to pay homage to the king outside Wu'an City!"
Wang Jian did indeed He is one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period and has extraordinary abilities.
But Li Mu is also one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period, and his ability is not weak either.
Now the difference in strength between the two sides is almost double. Even Wang Jian, who is extremely capable, cannot withstand it!
Xiong Qi frowned: "The Huzhu command originally sent 200,000 troops to reinforce Wu'an City."
"Now Zhao has sent another 150,000 troops to reinforce Wu'an City."
" Even though General Wang Jian once defeated Hu Zhe's troops, the number of Zhao troops in Wu'an City is now over 300,000!"
"Is this also part of Guo Wei's plan?"
Before Wang Jian went on the expedition, everyone except Wang Jian and four other people believed that the goal of this battle was to destroy Wei, including Prime Minister Xiong Qi!
It wasn't until Wang Jian suddenly transferred to Wu'an City that Xiong Qi realized that the target of the war with Qin was not Wei at all, but Zhao!
Xiong Qi was very dissatisfied with this. The truth is that the prime minister is the prime minister. Why don’t you tell the truth about such a big matter?
Now that he has the opportunity to vent his anger, Xiong Qi will naturally not miss it.
Mi Li clicked his tongue and said: "The Lord of Chang'an led an army of 200,000 to the expedition, but only managed to contain 50,000 soldiers and horses."
"Based on this, our Great Qin's strategy against Zhao The country is of no use, and it even makes the troops under General Wang’s command stretched thin!”
Wei Liao is Ying Zheng's internal sword, and he will inevitably do sinful things.
On weekdays, because of Ying Zheng's trust and Wei Liao's power, few people dare to criticize Wei Liao directly.
But now Wei Liao's first strategy after entering the Qin Dynasty has come to nothing, and a large number of courtiers and generals have begun to add insult to injury.
Ying Zheng looked at Wei Liao with burning eyes, and his voice was still gentle and strong: "What do you think our Great Qin should do?"
Wei Liao immediately stood up and handed over his hands: "The strategy of attacking in the east and attacking in the west has failed. It’s my fault.”
"However, Lord Chang'an created an opportunity for me, Great Qin!"
"An opportunity to attack from both sides!"
"I ask Kun to make plans!"
Ying Zheng Immediately nodded: "Accurate!"
A minister came carefully holding the map of Kun, and the four ministers cooperated to hold the map of Kun in front of everyone.
Wei Liao pointed at Xinzheng City on Xiang Kun's map with a wooden stick.
Then the wooden stick set off along Xinzheng City, slid through the road to Inner Huang City, and said in a deep voice: "The Lord of Chang'an captured Xiuyu City, and we, Da Qin, were able to bypass many cities in Zhao State and open up the road from Xinzheng The passage from the city to Neihuang City"
"However, the city of Daliang is strong, and even if the Lord of Chang'an digs down the embankment of the Yellow River to divert water to the city, it will not take several months to break it."
"The Lord of Chang'an will continue to besiege. Daliang City is of no use to the overall situation. "
"Therefore, I advise you to leave 30,000 soldiers and horses under Chang'an to besiege Daliang City. >
Ying Zheng also walked to the map of Kun and looked at the march route pointed out by Wei Liao thoughtfully: "The intention of the captain is to order Chang'an Lord to seize Neihuang City and directly threaten Handan?"
Wei Liao nodded solemnly: "That's right!"
"Including the 50,000 troops to reinforce Wei, Zhao has sent 400,000 troops!"
"The defenders of Zhao's cities must have been mobilized in large numbers. "
" Now Zhao has sent 350,000 troops to Wu'an. Although it has put great pressure on the general, it has also left Zhao's rear empty. The defenders of Neihuang City will certainly not be able to do so. Too much.”
"With Chang'an Jun's ability, he has every chance to seize Inner Huangcheng and directly threaten Handan!"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but take a step forward, his voice a little more excited: "By then, if Li Mu's troops continue If General Wang is stopped in Wu'an, Chang'an Jun's troops can directly besiege Handan City."
"If Li Mu's troops return to reinforce Handan, or if they send troops to reinforce Handan, General Wang's troops will be attacked. Liberation."
"With the power of General Wang, there is a chance to defeat Li Mu's troops!"
Two troops attacked from the left and right, and the two generals pointed their swords at Handan.
How can Zhao resist?
Ying Zheng could vaguely see Handan City reduced to scorched earth!
At this moment, Xiong Qi said in a deep voice: "I think it is inappropriate."
Ying Zheng was still looking at the map of Kun, and he said casually: "Xiangbang can speak out. "
Xiong Qi also walked behind Ying Zheng, looked at Kun Yutu and said: "The deception formed by tens of thousands of troops cannot deceive Wei for long."
"If the Lord of Chang'an goes north to the Yellow River, it is entirely possible for Wei to go north at the same time."
"Once Zhao and Wei join forces, it will no longer be Zhao but the Lord of Chang'an who will be attacked from both sides!"
>Xiong Qi’s speech put aside personal preferences and was entirely based on rational and objective considerations.
It was this rational and objective speech that made Ying Zheng calm down instantly.
Wei Liao immediately retorted: "If we, the Qin Dynasty, attack Wei, Zhao will be saved."
"But our Qin State attacks Zhao, and the possibility of Wei's rescue is very slim."
Xiong Qi looked at Wei Liao: "The state captain must not forget that Zhao General Pang Nuan is currently in Daliang City."
“With the ability of Zhao General Pang Nuan, it is very likely that the King of Wei will be persuaded to send troops!”
“Once the King of Wei sends troops after the main force of Chang’an Lord’s troops moves north, what should Lord Chang’an do?”
Wei Liao said seriously: "You can send envoys to Daliang City with the power of Chang'an Lord Lian Zhan and Lien Jie and a lot of money to force the King of Wei to sign an alliance and form an alliance with Qin!"
"At the same time, store 30,000 troops on the embankment of the Yellow River. If the king of Wei betrays the alliance, immediately dig down the embankment of the Yellow River!"
Ying Zheng asked in a deep voice: "What should we do if the king of Wei fights to the death and does not agree with us?"
After Wei Liao was silent for a few moments, he said calmly: "This possibility exists."
"But there is no perfect strategy." "Even if this strategy has Chang'an Jun's troops being attacked from both sides, The danger is also a good opportunity to destroy Zhao.”
From a rational perspective, Wei Liao's overall strategy is fine.
How can anyone not die in a war?
The best strategy is to order Ying Chengyu's troops to go north and attack Zhao with Wang Jian!
But this is the best strategy for Da Qin, but not the best strategy for Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng would rather give up a good opportunity to destroy Zhao than accept that Ying Chengyu is in danger!
After Ying Zheng thought about it for a long time, he finally said: "As I wish, Lord Chang'an's troops are ordered to return to Shangdang County, exit Jingxing, and join forces with General Wang's troops."
Wei Liao said anxiously: " Your Majesty, think twice!"
"This strategy is certainly sound, but how long will it take for Chang'an to move into Jingxing?"
"And the potential for a flanking attack will be wasted! Being abandoned by our Great Qin, we can only fight head-on with Zhao in Wu'an."
"If the situation that the king is worried about really happens, and Zhao and Wei form an alliance, then our Great Qin will face the combined forces of Zhao and Wei, and its military strength will also be outnumbered. Potential! ”
"This strategy is inappropriate in any case!"
Wei Liao couldn't understand why Ying Zheng, who was so keen and wise, suddenly proposed such an unwise military strategy!
Ying Zheng said loudly: "If you miss this opportunity, then I will just wait for the next opportunity."
"The construction of the Jingluo Canal has been completed. It only needs a few years of cultivation. I Da Qin will be able to double its national power and its population!"
"Our Da Qin is prospering, but the other countries are deteriorating."
"I don't hesitate to lose a good opportunity, and our country, Qin, will surely have more and more good opportunities!"
Ying Zheng proposed a new strategic thinking.
This was a completely feasible overall strategy, but Wei Liao was stunned.
Because this is completely different from what Ying Zheng had thought before!
However, Wei Liao could not say that this strategy was wrong, he could only hand it over helplessly: "Wei!"
Ying Zheng smiled: "The next thing to discuss is the withdrawal of Speaker An Jun's troops..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a shout outside the door: "Urgent report on the military situation of Chang'an Jun's troops!"
>
Ying Zheng's eyes narrowed and he quickly changed his words: "Pass!"
Dan Fu floated into the study room with the support of two guards.
After breaking free from the guards, Dan Fu knelt down on the ground with weak legs and tried his best to hold up the bamboo tube: "The military report is here, please read it, your Majesty!"
Ying Zheng couldn't wait to say: "Hurry!"
Meng Tian hurriedly ran to Dan Fu.
But even when Meng Tian ran from the stage to the audience and back again, Ying Zheng couldn't wait and asked anxiously: "How is the battle situation of your unit?"
Dan Fu shouted excitedly : "Report to your Majesty."
"We have destroyed Wei!"
Ying Zheng: (o▽)o
All the ministers: (°Д°)
After saying this, the entire imperial study fell into silence.
All the courtiers looked at Mr. Dan in disbelief. Ying Zheng couldn’t help but stood up and took two steps forward: "What did you just say?"
Mr. Dan shouted loudly: " Report back to the king!”
"Our troops have destroyed the Kingdom of Wei! Capture the King of Wei!"
"Our troops have lived up to the king's expectations! This battle is a great victory!"
After these words, there was an uproar.
"The army of Lord Chang'an destroyed the Wei State? How can we joke in the court!"
"In the past, Marquis Rang (Wei Ran) attacked Wei ten times without being harmed. How about Lord Chang'an? Can we destroy Daliang City! This is unreasonable!”
"How long has it been since Chang'an Jun's army went on an expedition? How could Chang'an Jun destroy Wei?!"
Wei is indeed not a strong country, but Wei has low offense and high defense, so how could it be destroyed? ?
This is beyond the imagination of all courtiers!
Only Ying Zheng has no doubts or confusion about Ying Chengyu’s results.
He just stretched out his hand to Meng Tian anxiously: "Quick!"
Quickly opening the mud seal, Ying Zheng opened the bamboo tube and poured out the bamboo slips inside.
I couldn’t wait to unfold the bamboo slips, and rows of familiar handwriting appeared in front of Ying Zheng.
【The minister obeyed the king's order and built an earthen wall to trap the beam, and dug embankments to lure Zhao to attack. 】
[On March 7, 10th year, the Wei Zhucheng reinforcements and the main army of Daliang City attacked the minister's headquarters to fight for the Wei navy's passage out of the city. 】
【I have no choice but to accept the challenge! ! ! 】
[However, the Wei army was very determined to resist. During the fierce battle, the north gate of Daliang City was broken. The minister then sent his troops to attack and seize Daliang City. The King of Wei presented the map of Wei Kun and the King of Wei issued a seal to request surrender. 】
[In the battle of Daliang City, the ministers captured 57,247 enemy heads, captured 73,900 enemies, and killed 27,300 soldiers. Ninety-seven people were injured, and 18,500 were seriously injured. 】
[Forty-five people including Zhao Lian, Wei Gongzi Qi, Wei Hu, Chen Mao, Wei Shi, Wei ministers Sun Zang and Zhang Miao were also killed. Zhao general Pang Nuan was guarding the city. At this time, his heart broke and he died. 】

【On the 7th of March in the 10th year of the lunar month, the prince of Qin Chang'an came to Daliang City to pay homage to the king! 】
Seeing this, Ying Zheng excitedly shouted: "Cai!"
"The king's brother deserves to be the king's brother!"
"How brave!"
According to the regulations of military reports, this military report should end here.
But Ying Zheng discovered that there was text behind this military report!
