Chapter 23: Take advantage of the victory and chase into the Jade City
Ying Zheng knew that after the first battle in Hexi, the fame of Great Qin shook the world.
He, the young King of Qin, can be regarded as truly sitting on the throne.
The countries of the East no longer dare to take any contempt.
He is a politician, although he is young, but he is also a generation of heroes, and he has shown his magnificence!
"Let's all be flat!"
Ying Zheng glanced at the ministers: "Tell me, what do you think of Envoy Bai's proposal to attack Yucheng County of Wei?"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate to attack Yucheng County!"
One of the ministers came out and said:
"First, although Wei experienced a great defeat in Hexi and lost 180,000 elites, Wei, as the first power in the East, is still not to be underestimated, stronger than Great Qin.
Second, whether the Qin army can succeed in attacking Yucheng County is not yet known, once the war is scorching, our army's grain road stretches for thousands of miles, which is very unfavorable to our Qin army.
Third, the rebellion of our Bashu has not yet been resolved.
Fourth, if the Qin army invaded Wei, it would definitely give the eastern vassal states the impression that Qin wanted to expand vigorously and that the wolf was ambitious.
Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help!
At that time, I am afraid that the princes and parliaments will form an alliance and use this as an excuse to carve up my Great Qin!"
"Minister, second!"
"Minister, second!"
Many ministers also came out one after another to express their views to the King of Qin.
Ying Zheng knew that there was some truth in the ministers' suggestions.
For the sake of prudence, it is indeed better to accept it when it is good, and not to raise any more military affairs.
After all, Qin's military strength and national strength are limited.
However, Ying Zheng doesn't want to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If you can take Yucheng County and control Yucheng Pass, it will definitely be of great benefit to Great Qin's strategy in the future!
He had a plan in his heart - he decided to take Yucheng County and Yucheng Pass at all costs!
The young King Qin looked at the prime minister who was standing with his hands in his hands:
"Zhongda, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks he should agree to Bai Qi's suggestion!" Sima Yi's voice was as flat and hoarse as ever.
When King Qin heard this, his eyes flashed: "Why?"
Sima Yi shook his sleeves and arched his hand:
"Your Majesty, Yucheng County hangs alone on the western boundary of the Wei Kingdom.
Yucheng Pass is the only entrance for Wei to enter Yucheng County, and it is also the place where Zhao, Wei, Han and Qin must pass.
This time, the Sanjin coalition army entered Yucheng County through Yucheng and killed me to the west of the river.
The importance of Yucheng Pass goes without saying.
If Qin can control the Yucheng Pass, he will be able to defend this pass from now on, and refuse Zhao Wei Han to be outside the pass, which will greatly improve the security of the east of our Qin State.
At the same time, if you want to cut down the three Jin, you can also go out of the Yucheng Pass.
If there is a chance, I, Great Qin, must take this choke point.
To take Yucheng Pass, you need to go down to Yucheng County first.
As for the notoriety of Qin's wolf ambition that the ministers were worried about.
In this way, it doesn't have to.
Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War!
Let's ask, the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period have been fighting for hundreds of years, which prince and power in the east is not like a tiger and wolf and wants to annex other countries?
In addition, for the time being, there is no need to worry about Wei Guoguo's fierce counterattack, the prime minister has just sent an envoy to Qi Chu.
These two countries have a feud with Wei, and they will never easily let go of the opportunity to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Qi Chu will definitely send troops to attack Wei, and Wei is too busy to take care of himself.
In the end, the remnants of the Bashu royal family rebelled, and there were two generals, Wang Di and Duke Qi, and it would not take long to completely solve it.
Your Majesty, please issue an edict quickly, and order Bai Qi to attack Yucheng County with all his strength and take Yucheng Pass, the opportunity must not be lost!"
After finishing speaking, Sima Yi knelt down and said.
Rise!
Qin Wangzheng stood up and said majestically:
"Spread the edict of the widow, and order Bai Qi to attack Yucheng County and Yucheng Pass with all his might!"
"Your Majesty, the soldiers are fast, and the prime minister personally sent the edict to Hexi!" Sima Yi pleaded.
Ying Zheng nodded: "Quasi-play!"
With the strength of gods and demons, Sima Yi ran with all his might, much faster than a horse.
It only took one day to rush to Hexi.
He read the edict of the King of Qin to Bai Qi.
On the same day, Bai Qi led the Qin army to kill Yucheng County of Wei State.
......
Wei State, Great Liang, Wei Palace.
Syllable!
King Wei slapped his palm on Wang's case, shaking the national seal and twists on it, and trembling.
In the face of the furious King Wei, the civil and military ministers below lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.
Wei Wang just got the news:
In the battle of Qin, the Three Jin Coalition forces were defeated, and the Wei army was no different from the annihilation of the whole army, Prime Minister Yin Fei was beheaded, and Prince Shen was captured!
How could King Wei not be angry?!
The Wei army is the first elite division in the eastern corner of the Divine Wilderness, and only the Wei army has always been able to raise its head against other armies.
And now, the Wei army has been completely wiped out!
King Wei felt like he had been slapped in the face.
"What a shame, what a shame!"
King Wei paced back and forth, roaring: "Okay, you Yingzheng child, the widow vows to break you into ten thousand pieces!"
"Linjiang County Emergency!"
At this time, a soldier ran into the main hall with a scroll of folds.
The eunuch presented the fold to the King of Wei.
Whoa!
King Wei saw the fold, his face was flushed with anger, and he smashed the fold out hard!
"The damned Qi and Chu Kingdoms actually took advantage of the defeat of the Qin army and attacked Wei, how despicable and treacherous!"
"When the widow recovers, he will definitely clean up one by one!"
“......”
King Wei scolded for a while before temporarily suppressing his monstrous anger.
The tiger glared at the ministers below and said, "Fellow ministers, our army was defeated in Qin, the prime minister was killed, and the prince was captured. Now, the two thieves of Qi Chu have led 300,000 troops to invade my Linjiang County, so let's talk about it, what should I do?"
"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that General Wu Bao be transferred back immediately, and let him lead his troops to Linjiang County to fight against Qi Chu. ”
"Your Majesty, Zhao, Wei and Han are both the countries of the Three Jin Dynasty, and they are all in the same spirit, one is prosperous and the other is lost, and the minister suggested that they send troops to help Wei meet Qi Chu. ”
"Your Majesty, we have to guard against the Qin State, and we must send another elite to defend the Yucheng Pass!"
Many ministers came out one after another to express their thoughts.
In the end, the king of Wei transferred back the famous general Wu Bao to lead 200,000 Wei troops and rushed to Linjiang County to meet the Qi-Chu coalition army.
At the same time, send envoys to the two kingdoms of Zhao and Han, so that they can once again send troops together to fight against Qi Chu.
In addition, the king of Wei also ordered several counties in the west of Wei to send a part of their troops and horses to Yucheng County to prevent Qin from taking advantage of the victory to pursue.
......
Although King Wei had no problem with the deployment of Yucheng County, it was too late.
Bai Qi led the elite of the Qin army and attacked before the reinforcements from Yucheng County arrived.
Due to the attack on Qinhexi County, the Wei army mobilized a large number of troops from Yucheng County and other western counties, making the defense of Yucheng County very empty and vulnerable.
Bai Qi took only a few days to take Yucheng County and firmly control the world's Xiongguan - Yucheng Pass.
At this pass, you can go straight to the capital of Wei when you go eastward;
If you go west, you can enter the Jade City, and then enter the west of the Qin River.
It is really a choke point, and soldiers will fight for it.
Bai Qi climbed the Xiongguan and looked at the plain in the distance, his black and white eyes were shining.
I don't know what is in my mind.
At this moment, the soldiers wanted to replace the banner of the Wei State and plant the flag of the Qin army.
Bai Qi said:
"Keep the Yucheng Pass as it is, don't replace anything, and wait for all the soldiers guarding the pass to change into the clothes of the Wei army.
And find Qin soldiers who can speak with a Wei accent, and be sure to learn the habits of Wei soldiers within a day. ”
Although Qin Jun did not understand the measures of Special Envoy Bai, he still implemented them 100%.
General Meng Yu arrived, and after understanding Bai Qi's arrangement, his face showed a sudden look:
"Envoy Bai, you don't want to ......"
"Those who know me, the general!" Bai Qi smiled slightly.
