Chapter 38: The Battle of Jinyang (4)
Lecheng was also born into a family and was an outstanding figure in the Le family.
I guessed the mentality of these wealthy families in Jinyang today.
The army of Yan Kingdom will soon reach Jinyang City, and it is at such a fast speed.
The local wealthy families in Jinyang will be so uncooperative with Lecheng, it is not only a matter of the arrival of the Yan army, but a judgment of the general trend and a lack of confidence in Zhao State.
The biggest problem at the moment, not to mention the wealthy families in Jinyang, almost all the people in Jinyang County have lost confidence in Zhao State, and none of them have the fighting spirit. The fact that the Yan army was able to move south to Jinyang City so quickly is proof of this.
If the soldiers and civilians of Zhao State resisted the Yan army like they resisted the Qin army, the Yan army would not be easy.
"General Hu Hui, it is impossible for us to move these wealthy clans at the moment. Otherwise, if we don't need the Yan army to attack us, our army will be in chaos first. You can just say this to me, and you must not say it again, you understand? ”
Hu Yu was stunned for a moment, clenched his fists and bowed: "General, the last general understands." ”
Le Cheng stood up and said with a long sigh: "Ben Jiang has seen through it now, these local gentry clans, they are not considering the interests of Zhao Guo at all, but the interests of their families, and they already have an idea in their hearts. ”
Speaking of this, Le Cheng paused and continued to say with emotion:
"Today is a world of great strife, and all kings fight and fight, and they all belong to this world. After the Yan State destroyed Qi, it defeated the Lianheng army of the Central Plains countries last year, and its momentum has been achieved. ”
And Yan Wangkang, this person, has a bigger heart, soothes the hearts of the people inside, shows benevolence and righteousness outside, and has the ambition to encompass the world. Now I am sending my cousin Lema to lead the army, which is to occupy the northern part of the Central Plains and gain the terrain of the world. ”
Lecheng's words were indifferent, just like this late autumn season.
"When the Yan army was attacking the dynasty on a large scale, it was still a little strange at that time, why did the Yan country let my Zhao country not cut down the land of Handan? Instead of taking the counties of the Northland, now, Ben will finally understand that this is a clever move. ”
"Handan is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and is closely related to the interests of all countries. If the Yan State invades Handan, no matter how difficult it is, the countries will inevitably send troops to fight again. Even if Yan Guo took Handan, he couldn't be stable. ”
"But the Yan State invaded the dynasty, and then took Yanmen and Yunzhong, so that the interests of the Central Plains countries have little to do. Therefore, until now, all countries have stood still, watching our Zhao and Yan fight. ”
Le Cheng said this, and couldn't help sneering again.
"What the countries of the Central Plains don't know is that the current Yan Kingdom is even more powerful than the Tiger and Wolf Qin. After it occupies Jinyang again, in another two years, the strength of the Yan Kingdom will be even stronger, and at that time, the Yan Kingdom will definitely go south, and the wind and clouds will ......"
Lecheng shook his head and didn't say any more.
I have to say that Lecheng's political and military vision is very good, and the analysis is also in place.
Standing up, Lecheng looked up at the window, only to see that the trees outside the house had fallen due to the autumn wind, just like Lecheng's mood at the moment.
"General Hu Hui, is there any news about the letter sent to Handan asking for help?"
Rakuma turned around abruptly and said to the deputy general.
"General, the messenger sent to Handan has not replied so far." Hu Yu replied in a low voice.
Le Cheng smiled wryly and said to Hu Xi:
"Ben Jiang also knows that Handan can't draw troops and horses to help me Jinyang, but Ben will really be unwilling!"
At the same time that Le Cheng received the battle report in the study, many families in Jinyang City also received the battle report of the Yan army conquering Wolf Meng City.
In a short period of time, the Yan army led by the king of Changguo conquered several counties in the north of Jinyang one after another, and the army was about to come to Jinyang City in a few days.
Wolf Mengcheng, an important town in the north of Jinyang City, was taken down by the Yan army in one day, which showed the strength of the Yan army. This is undoubtedly a great touch for all families in Jinyang.
Due to the war, there are few pedestrians on the streets in Jinyang City.
A van car walked slowly and came to the front of the Wang family's mansion.
The curtain of the car was opened, Liu Qi walked down from the car, and saw that there were already people waiting in front of the palace.
Seeing Liu Qi walk out, the middle-aged housekeeper of the palace greeted him with a smile on his face.
"It's Mr. Liu! My master has been waiting in the study for a long time. ”
Liu Qi looked around and found that there was nothing abnormal, and said lightly to the middle-aged housekeeper:
"There's a housekeeper Lao, let's lead the way."
In Wang Mao's study, the lamp had been turned on, and Wang Mao, the patriarch of the Wang clan, was restless, walking back and forth.
There was a sound of footsteps coming in from outside the house.
Wang Mao looked up at the door of the study, and saw a person wearing an ordinary green shirt and dressed as a scholar, accompanied by his housekeeper, slowly walking into the study.
After Liu Qi walked into the study, he bowed down and saluted Wang Mao:
"Mr. Wang, let you wait for a long time, Liu Qi is rude."
"No, no, it won't be long, Mr. Liu, please take a seat." Wang Mao took two steps forward and hurriedly replied.
After the two sat down, the middle-aged butler withdrew with a very eye-catching look.
"Mr. Wang, when I came to your house to see you today, I think Mr. Wang also knows that there is something to discuss with you below, so I came here rashly, and please Mr. Wang, don't be surprised."
Due to the urgency of time, Liu Qi said directly to Wang Mao.
The sweat on Wang Mao's body suddenly gushed out, forced himself to calm down, and said to Liu Qi:
"Mr. Liu, I'm out. You can come to my house in person, which is a long-awaited thing. ”
Liu Qi's eyes flashed, and he said indifferently:
"Mr. Wang, what is the current situation in Jinyang? You must have known it in your own mind. My army will arrive in Jinyang in a few days, and many things still need Mr. Wang's cooperation in the city, I think, Mr. Wang will not refuse, right? ”
"This ......" The sweat on Wang Mao's head came out unconsciously.
Liu Qi smiled and continued to say to Wang Mao:
"By the way, Mr. Wang, when you came down, Chang Guojun asked Zai Xia to give you a little letter, and also asked Zai Xia to thank you for everything you did for letting General Wang She in Wolf Meng City."
After that, Liu Qi took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Wang Mao.
Wang Mao opened the letter and read it.
The content of Rakuma's letter is very short, and it says two things. First, it is to thank the Wang family for their cooperation with the Yan army when it went south; Second, I hope that Wang Mao can make persistent efforts and continue to cooperate with Yan Jun.
After Liu Qi waited for Wang Mao to read the letter, he said to Wang Mao:
"Mr. Wang, there is a sentence here, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
Wang Mao wiped the fine sweat on his head with his sleeve and said to Liu Qi: "Sir, please speak." ”
"Okay, then Liu Qi will say it here. Dare to ask sir, do you think Jinyang City, can Zhao Jun defend it? ”
Liu Qi asked Wang Mao in a calm tone.
Wang Mao stood up suddenly, and involuntarily raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat beads on his head.
looked at Liu Qi and wanted to say something, but suddenly sat down decadently.
Liu Qi smiled and continued to say to Wang Maoyan:
"My king once said that the Zhao State was originally in the west of Taihang, and there were four counties. If it is managed well, this is the foundation of the king. But now the three counties of Daijun, Yanmen, and Yunzhong have been returned to my Yan Kingdom, and only one county of Jinyang remains. ”
"It's Jinyang, and it's about to face the disaster of overturning at this time. What's more, after Liu Qi entered the city, he had seen that the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city were fluctuating, but they had no fighting spirit, and Mr. Wang himself must know more about this. ”
"Mr. Wang, Liu Qi has nothing to exaggerate here, I hope Mr. Wang can see the situation clearly and help my Yan army take Jinyang, and my Yan Kingdom will not treat the Wang family badly."
When he said this, Liu Qi said to Wang Mao again:
"That's right, Mr. Wang. In the next place, I learned that your young master of the Wang family has been received by our king, and at his request, my king specially approved him to study in Xiangping College, and his future is limitless! ”
Wang Mao let out an "ah", and said to Liu Qi in a somewhat excited tone:
"Mr. Liu, is this true?"
"There is no falsehood!" Liu Qi nodded.
The Xiangping Academy of Yan State was already famous all over the world at this time, and the military, political, and departmental officials of Yan State were all from this.
Wang Mao didn't hesitate any longer, bowed his head and whispered with Liu Qi and the others.
