Chapter 268: Siege Wei to save Zhao

In the later imperial history books, it was recorded in detail that Chu Jiangmian, who was still the king of Zhao, was ordered to crusade against the princes of Wei.

It was also the first time since the end of the Battle of Zhongzhou that Chu Jiangmian, the king of Zhao, received the edict of crusade from the Emperor of the Great Zhou. That is, from that time, "Respect the order of the Son of Heaven and crusade against the unsubordinate." It became the most powerful weapon of the Zhao army. This reputation for righteousness may not have much effect in the hands of others. But once it was in Chu Jiangmian's hands, the princes of the world were surprised to find out what huge benefits this young man had gotten from it!

It turns out that the dying dynasty and the terminally ill Son of Heaven are not a burden sometimes. It was a Xingtian Giant Sword, it was held in the hand of King Zhao, and it was decisive and invincible. However, by the time everyone realizes this, it will be too late.

And the first prince to be tested was the Wei State. The ambitious King Wei never thought that one day he would be used to sacrifice to the heavens with the sword of the Son of Heaven!

Of course, the King of Wei, who was full of ambition in Daliang City, would not know his tragic end in advance now. The autumn day is long, the wind is slightly cold, and in the Daliang Palace, there are flowers, but everywhere is a scene of celebrating victory.

King Wei is so lively, everyone knows it. On weekdays, no matter how big or small, as long as there is an event, the ministers will be gathered and a large banquet will be held. And today, when the military operations of the Wei army in the Zhao State continue to bring back good news, it should be wantonly proclaimed, and the great congratulations are given!

In fact, the victory of the Wei army on the battlefield of Zhao not only made the Wei king ecstatic inside and outside the court, but even the Wei king himself was very surprised. In his original prediction with the ministers and generals, he had predicted the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army, as well as the contrast between the forces of the two sides. Although there is absolute confidence in victory, it seems inevitable that a hard battle. After all, it is fighting on enemy territory, and there are many unpredictable and unexpected factors. All this is taken into account.

However, the truth was far from what they all expected. Who would have thought that since the 80,000 Wei soldiers set out on the expedition, they almost stepped into the territory of Zhao with an irresistible momentum, and then swept everything, attacked the city and broke through, and drove straight in!

The good news was frequent, and King Wei was overjoyed. In just over a month, he has celebrated several times in the Daliang Palace. My eyes really didn't look at the wrong person. General Yan Hu is really a tiger general in the world!

It's no wonder that King Wei was so ecstatic that he almost lost his temper. It was really such a victory that was too important for the Wei state. The general trend of the world can be understood by everyone. Seeing that the Great Zhou Dynasty has run out of energy, it will soon cease to exist. An era of princely rivalry for hegemony is coming. If anyone can seize the opportunity before this era arrives, they will undoubtedly become the real hegemon.

For King Wei, his ambition is actually not that big. Even if the Great Zhou Tianzi died now, he didn't think about entering Zhongzhou and occupying Los Angeles. The person with such ambition is Nie Feng, the king of Qin. King Wei asked himself if he was as good as Nie Feng. That man's style was one of the two people he had feared over the years. And the other person is Chu Lie, the king of Zhao, but since Chu Lie is dead, Zhao Guo has nothing to fear.

King Wei's ambition is to be a princely overlord. That's enough. Like several hegemons that appeared many years ago. It can keep Wei strong, and make the neighboring princes submit to his will. That was what he wanted to achieve in his lifetime.

And now the victory of the Wei army has undoubtedly made this goal about to become a reality. Thinking of the humiliation of being defeated at the hands of Zhao several times in the past, the King of Wei was eager to immediately drive directly to the battlefield of Zhao State under the protection of the guards cavalry, and personally see the majestic posture of his loyal and brave soldiers!

However, such an idea is naturally a luxury. His royal ministers would not agree to him leaving Daliang City. In any case, the King of Wei was also a prince with the dignity of ten thousand vehicles. There was nothing wrong with his safety. This is not only in the vital interests of each and every one of these ministers. It is directly related to the future of Wei.

Therefore, the king of Wei listened to everyone's unanimous opinion. During the war between Wei and Zhao, his safety was given special attention. Daliang City was heavily guarded. Everywhere is heavily guarded, and if any suspicious person is found, they will be immediately arrested and tortured. Zhao Guoqianjige's power cannot be underestimated no matter what. If they infiltrate the city of Great Beams, they will create a very dangerous threat.

In such a closely guarded Wei Wang, the safety of his life will naturally not be much hindered. No matter how powerful the people of Zhao are, they want to change the pattern of war in an extreme way under such circumstances. This way, they will never work!

And just in case, in the past few days, there have been several rigorous investigations in Daliang City. But there is also a lot to gain from it. Many unidentified figures and vicious bandits were alarmed. They were either convicted or killed. Most of them ended up tragically. The Wei people have never been soft in this regard. In this special period, nature will not be merciful.

And how many Zhao State spies are among them, there is no accurate number. Perhaps, there were more people mixed in with it who were sent by other princes. And they were also killed mercilessly.

The so-called achievers of great things are not informal. A person who wants to be a hegemon cannot have the kindness of a woman. In this regard, the King of Wei was not inferior to Nie Feng, the King of Qin.

And King Wei, who was immersed in the dream of the overlord, naturally would not treat his meritorious soldiers poorly. Just yesterday, the mighty reward team led by the important ministers of the royal court has set off. They took a large number of rewards and went directly to the battlefield of Zhao. All the soldiers who go out will receive different awards. And those who have made meritorious contributions have received special rewards.

King Wei has always believed that there must be brave men under heavy rewards! Seeing that on the battlefield, the Wei army had completely taken the initiative. As long as such a combat advantage is maintained, then I believe that it will not be long before the Dragon City of Zhao State will be conquered!

"King! Please accept the heartfelt congratulations of our courtiers and drink this cup again!"

Above the main hall, the wine banquet was sumptuous. The prime minister of Wei was the first to stand up to congratulate him, holding his wine glass high above his head. This cup represents the supreme respect of all the courtiers for their great king. King Wei laughed proudly, he didn't shirk, took it and drank it all.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the continuous victories of the Wei army also have a share of your credit. Come, come, come! This glass of wine is drunk with you!"

King Wei toasted, and no one dared to refuse. The generals on one side thanked loudly and drank it all one after another, very boldly. And the ministers of state and doctors on the other side were not to be outdone, the wine was dry, and they congratulated the king with a red face and a thick neck! Even the few doctors who were too drunk to drink did not hesitate to drink it.

"The victory of Zhao Guo, this is all the credit of the king! The king's exploits are incomparable. has already caught up with the first saint Wei Wang! How fortunate it is for the ministers to be able to follow the left and right, bear the tail in the North Sea, and carve their fame in history. I'm so grateful, I can't express it......!"

"The king's exploits are unparalleled. Stepping on the Zhao Kingdom is just around the corner......

"The king is a natural saint, and he used to be just forbearing. Now once you work hard, the princes of the world should bow down and obey orders, don't dare to disobey!"

"It's not worth mentioning Zhao Guo. Chu Lie's father and son dared to fight against my Great Wei Jiashi before, it was really overwhelming! You should know by now...... Hum! On the day the soldiers entered Dragon City, would the Zhao royal family regret what they had done before? ”

"Needless to say! Going against the king of my family is a dead end sooner or later. Now it's too late for them to regret it! Hahaha!"

When the wine is hot, the atmosphere is warm. The ministers are gossiping and doing their best to exaggerate. There is a legend in the outside world that the King of Wei is so vain, and the royal court is a sycophant minister inside and outside. And he didn't know it. While such a statement may seem exaggerated, it is not a deliberate distortion of the facts. It can only be seen at today's banquets.

Listen to the flattery of the whole hall. There were a few middle doctors who still had a little sobriety in their hearts, and they couldn't help frowning at each other. But he only slandered in his heart, and he didn't dare to show it in his expression. Because they have all learned the lessons of the past. Those who have committed direct admonitions are dead. And they didn't want to die, so they had to endure it in silence.

"Alright, alright...... Ladies and gentlemen, it's too early to say this. As long as Dragon City is not conquered for a day, Zhao Guo will not be tamed. Tonight we only drink and have fun, and we will rest when we get drunk. Wait until tomorrow's day when the good news comes, and the widow will thank all of you for your efforts!"

King Wei stood up, full of pride. When he said these words with the odds of victory, he was not modest, but extremely proud. His meaning is obvious. Zhao Guolongcheng was breached, and it was in the past two days.

All the ministers and generals present, who would not understand his mind? Taking advantage of the wine, everyone left the table to bow down, which was another warm and enthusiastic word of praise.

The night is darker and more lively. Obviously, there is another all-night celebration in the Daliang Palace tonight.

A bright moon rose early into the middle of the sky. The moonlight shrouded the city of Daliang and also over the territory of the entire Wei State. Most of the people of Wei fell asleep. If you count it carefully, this princes' territory has not been smoked for nearly 20 years.

Such peaceful years would have been extremely rare. The strong rise of the Wei army was precisely due to this period of recuperation. Such an opportunity should have been cherished. However, the king of Wei finally started the war, and perhaps, everything was irreparable.

Because, on the night of singing and dancing in the Daliang Palace, there was an enemy cavalry, stepping on the frosty moonlight, and entered the territory of Wei.
