Chapter 297: The Five-Nation Alliance

Girder, royal palace

King Wei knelt on the top seat, with a wine cup in front of the desk, and he took a sip of wine, but his hands trembled slightly.

Long Yangjun sat aside and said seriously: "The Qin State has Meng Fu as the general, commanding 300,000 elite soldiers to gather in Sanchuan, and Wang Yi as the deputy general, commanding 100,000 troops stationed in Huashan, responsible for the mobilization of materials and food.... The state of Qin mobilized a total of 400,000 troops... There are generals Meng Fu, Sima Terrier, Hu Yang, Zhang Tang, Meng Wu, Qiang and others...", Long Yangjun said seriously, and King Wei's hand trembled more and more.

King Wei put down the wine cup, took a deep breath, and looked at Long Yangjun with a look of despair in his eyes.

"How many soldiers can Wei mobilize?"

"Up to 100,000 people... I have asked the princes for help, but...", Long Yangjun lowered his head helplessly, previously, Zhao State and Chu State were attacked by Qin State, Long Yangjun hoped that King Wei could send troops to rescue, but King Wei had a mentality of letting them kill each other, Wei State seized the opportunity to develop, did not send reinforcements, and even took advantage of the internal turmoil in Chu to secretly occupy several of its cities.

At the beginning, the king of Wei was still complacent, thinking that Qin, Zhao, and Chu were fighting, and the Wei state was enjoying its success, which was a great thing, the harder they fought, the better, and it hadn't been long before the Qin State set its goal on the Wei State, 400,000 troops, the King of Wei thought of this number, and felt that his back was cold, and the Qin people's shouts of killing could be heard in his ears, and the King of Wei took a deep breath and asked: "Are the princes really unwilling to come to the rescue of Wei?" ”

Long Yangjun had persuaded the King of Wei to send troops to rescue him many times, but the King of Wei always said that he should be alone, and Long Yangjun really wanted to tell him now, and the other princes now began to think about being alone... But Long Yangjun couldn't say such a heavy thing to King Wei, Long Yangjun thought for a moment before leaning over and bowing to King Wei. King Wei was stunned, and he asked with some fear, "Do you want to leave the widow?" ”

Long Yangjun said: "Now that the Wei State is facing the danger of extinction, the 400,000 people of the Qin State are displayed on the front line, this is with the idea of destroying the Qin State to start a war, please send someone to the Zhao State immediately, and ask Xin Lingjun to return to the Wei State, within the Wei State, only he can command the army and fight with the Qin people!" The King of Wei was furious, he stood up and said, "Such a big Wei State, so many Wei people, but you have to go and invite back a person who has turned his back on the Wei State and lived in the Zhao State?" ”

"If Xinlingjun can become the general of Wei, then all countries will send reinforcements, this is because they all hate Qin, and Xinlingjun is in various countries... The nations believed that Xinlingjun could defeat the Qin, so they would send troops to follow his orders... This was the only way to repel the Qin State. Long Yangjun originally wanted to say that Xinlingjun's prestige in the world could be trusted by the princes, but he still changed his words.

King Wei sat in his place a little sluggishly and pondered.

"Your Excellency, you can't hesitate any longer... You can't hesitate any longer...", Long Yangjun stood up, his eyes were red, he pointed to himself and said: "Please let me vouch for it with my life, I know you don't trust Xinlingjun, but he is definitely not such a villain, if he makes trouble, the minister can judge himself in front of you!" Please don't hesitate any longer, if you wait until Meng Yubin comes to the city, it will be useless for Xinlingjun to return to Wei! ”

King Wei nodded dumbfoundedly and said, "Let him come back.." Let him come back. ”

Zhao Guo, Handan

Wei Wuji looked a little older than before, this handsome boy, at the moment, looked a little decadent, his eyes were blank, he was drunk, looked at the doormen around him, laughed, and pointed to the Wei envoy in front of him, and asked, "What did you say?" The King of Wei wants to ask me to return to Wei to be the commander? The envoy of Wei was the well-known money-greedy villain, Duan Ganzi.

The King of Wei really had no one to use, and Long Yangjun was in charge of the defense of the Great Liang, and the other ministers could not be trusted by him.

Duan Ganzi spontaneously asked to invite Wei Wuji back, and despite Long Yangjun's repeated objections, the King of Wei still sent him over.

Wei Wuji didn't like him as a person, or rather, Wei Wuji hated him, Duan Ganzi was unscrupulous, unwise, greedy for money, and was bribed by Fan Ju many times, framed Xinlingjun, and forced Xinlingjun to unable to return to his home, when Wei Wuji's doorman saw him, he was very unkind, kicked him over, and was about to kill him with a dagger, or Wei Wuji stopped their behavior, and looked at Duan Ganzi in front of him playfully.

Duan Ganzi knelt in front of Wei Wuji, his clothes were torn, and he didn't know whose fist he had received on his face, nosebleeds kept dripping, he trembled, looking at Xinlingjun in front of him, lowering his head, he said seriously: "Xinlingjun... Shin Ling Jun... The state of Wei is going to perish.. With an army of 300,000, Meng Fu attacked the Wei State, and the Wei State had no one who could command the army, and no one could repel him..."

"Can you be the commander-in-chief? I've heard that you once said that you can easily defeat Bai Qi, saying that Bai Qi is in vain, and Meng Qi is not as good as Bai Qi, why don't you go and repel him? Wei Wuji took another sip of his drink.

Duan Ganzi's face was red, he lowered his head, and he said, "My ancestor Duan Ganmu... He was a famous sage of the Wei State, and he once assisted Wei Wenhou to dominate the Central Plains.... In my generation, my family has fallen into the middle of the road... Except for the collection of books at home, there is no difference between them and the common people..."

"I don't want to hear that."

"No, listen to me... I really want to emulate my ancestors and build a legacy like his... But I don't have such talent, I'm cowardly, greedy...", Duan Ganzi cried, he wiped his tears, and continued: "I want to emulate others' methods of cutting the city and asking for soldiers, but in the end it also failed, I asked for Fan Ju's bribe, I haven't seen so much money..."

"I'm afraid that people will look down on me... So I slipped around and flattered the king... Help the king deal with the people he hates... I brag everywhere, but I don't know anything... But now, the state of Wei is really going to perish... The Qin people didn't want to capture a few cities, they came to destroy the sacrifices of the Wei State... I am also a Wei person, my ancestor, and I am also buried there... I can't let the bones of my ancestors be insulted like this..."

Duan Ganzi's tears couldn't help flowing, he bowed down towards Wei Wuji, and then said: "It's me who can't afford to lose you, it's because of my false accusation that you left the Wei Kingdom, it's all my fault... However, please be sure to save the Wei State, the Wei people miss you very much, and I am the only one who has hatred with you and has framed you. He slowly drew his short sword.

Wei Wuji saw that his hands were trembling violently, he cried in embarrassment, cried, trembled, hesitated, and put the short sword in front of his neck, but his embarrassed appearance made Wei Wuji's disciples couldn't help laughing, they shouted: "You have to cut deeper, otherwise it will be difficult to die!" ”

Hearing this, Duan Ganzi's cry became even louder, he held the short sword, closed his eyes, and shouted at Wei Wuji: "Please save Wei Guo!" ”

At that moment, he moved, and the dagger slashed towards his neck.

Duan Ganzi used all his strength, but found that the short sword in his hand was motionless, only a mark was cut on his neck, and he could no longer move, Duan Ganzi opened his eyes, only to see Wei Wuji reach out and grab his short sword. Wei Wuji looked at Duan Ganzi's eyes seriously, Duan Ganzi looked at him crying, and saw Wei Wuji laughing and snatching the short sword from his hand, only then he reached out and touched his face indiscriminately.

"Don't be in a hurry to die, prepare a carriage for me first!"

Duan Ganzi looked at him blankly, and then looked at the laughing Wei heroes around him.

The doormen stood up one after another and complained, "Now, we are all going to die on the battlefield." ”

Wei Wuji smiled and said, "This may not be, maybe I killed Meng Fu!" ”

"Come on, when have you ever won? I'd better write a suicide note in advance! ”

"Hahaha~~~"

Duan Ganzi looked at these casually laughing people blankly, hurriedly stood up, wiped the tears on his face, and said with a smirk: "I'll go and prepare the car!" ”

........

King Zhao looked at the old minister Pang Xuan in front of him.

He said with some hesitation: "You are right, Zhao and Wei are indeed brothers, but Zhao has just experienced a defeat, how can they start a war again?" Zhao State does not have enough food, does not have enough manpower, and the ordnance is also seriously insufficient, General Lian Po is ill, Li Mu is even more in the clouds, Zhao State is willing to help Wei State, and there is no strength to help it at all. ”

"What's more, this time Meng Fu brought an army of 400,000 to crusade against Wei, and Zhao sent an army, but I am afraid that it will also suffer heavy losses."

Pang Xuan said seriously: "I heard that the King of Wei wants to use Xinlingjun as a general to resist the Qin State. Zhao has no food, he can borrow some from Wei, and the same is true for ordnance, if Xinling Jun commands these troops, even if the battle situation is unfavorable, he will definitely be able to return safely with the army.... Can't you trust him? Of course, if you don't worry about letting the Wei people command Zhao's army, I can command Zhao's army. ”

"You? Pang Gong, you're almost eighty years old, aren't you? Do you still want to go on a trip?? ”

King Zhao suddenly felt that what he said was wrong, and hurriedly said: "It's not that the widow doesn't trust you, the widow is just worried about you..."

"The minister is okay, and the minister can fight for you for another ten years."

King Zhao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Last year, the Qin State attacked the Zhao State, and the widow also asked the Wei State for help, but what about the Wei State? He didn't send a single soldier, so why should the widows help them now? ”

"Shangjun, do you know why the Qin State only recruited more than 100,000 people to attack the Zhao State last year?"

"The widow doesn't know."

"This is because he is worried about Wei and Chu, and he needs to divide his soldiers to defend against their possible attacks... Therefore, you can't go all out to deal with Zhao State, think about it, if Zhao State doesn't help Wei State this time, and when Wei State is destroyed, who will be Qin's next target? When the time comes, they will bring an army of 500,000 to destroy the Zhao State, what can the Zhao State do? You must send troops, and if you don't send troops, you will let the Zhao Kingdom perish! ”

King Zhao pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I will ask you to serve as a general, bring 100,000 troops, and follow Xinling Jun to meet the Qin State." ”

Chu State, in the palace

The King of Chu looked at Huang Xie who was sitting in front of him, and stopped talking.

"The king called me here to send troops to Wei to defend against Qin?" , Huang Xie broke through the mind of the king of Chu with a word, the king of Chu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "In the past, because the widow insisted on revenge on the Qin State, and was defeated repeatedly, the Chu State could only be on one side, and there was no longer the glory of the past... How dare the widow go to war with the Qin State? The king of Chu shook his head and said, "It's better to accumulate national strength..."

"No, my lord... No matter how many defeats the Chu people have suffered, no matter what kind of suffering they have experienced, they will not bow their heads... The Qin people captured our Bashu, took away our southern county, and now suppresses us in the southeast corner... But we still don't bow our heads, even if they destroy us and kill us all, as long as there is a Chu person alive, he will not bow his head, he will continue to fight the Qin people with weapons..."

"If the Wei State is destroyed... The state of Chu is about to face the army of the state of Qin alone... You want to send troops to save the Wei State, that's right, I don't object to it, what's more, what can a common man oppose? Huang Xie laughed, Huang Xie, who had experienced many failures in a row, cheered up at this moment, he stood up and said, "I am willing to help you to crusade against the tyrannical Qin State!" As long as you don't dislike it. ”

"Hahaha! Okay, let Jing Yang come to command the army and rush to Wei, you are still in charge of the material mobilization as usual! ”

........

"Why did the widow send troops to the Qin State?"

"The Qin State has no grievances and no enmity with the widow...", King Yan looked at the drama in front of him with displeasure.

"Great King, the Qin State is going to implement the strategy of one king in the world, he wants to destroy all the countries, first the Wei State, then the Zhao State, and then the Yan State, if we don't send people to rescue the Wei State now, then when they come to attack the Yan State, what should we do?" , Ju Xin continued to persuade, he came to persuade King Yan not once or twice, he has been constantly visiting King Yan during these days, asking King Yan to send troops.

This made King Yan very annoyed, he looked at the old general in front of him, sighed helplessly, and said: "Okay, okay, since this is what you requested, then if this war fails, what should you do?" ”

"Then please give me a sword."

"Good! Then it's up to you to command the army of the Yan Kingdom and rush to the rescue! ”

Ji Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief, he leaned over and bowed to King Yan, looking at King Yan in front of him, who didn't care, Ji Xin's back became a little more rickety.

.......

"The widow endures the humiliation! Stoop to conquer! has been waiting for the opportunity for revenge, and now Zhao, Yan, Wei, Chu and other countries have united to form a powerful coalition, this is a great opportunity for revenge! The widow wants to take revenge on the Qin State! The widow wants to establish the hegemony of Korea! ”

King Han drew his sword and shouted.
