Chapter 58: The War of Nations (1)
Changguo Junle was standing at the head of Emperor Hill City at this time.
Looking at many places in the city, many fires ignited by the Great War were extinguished by the people of Emperor Hill City organized by the Yan Army in turn.
Lejian turned around and asked Bo Wang, the deputy general beside him, "General Bo, how are the casualties of our army?" ”
Bo Wang clenched his fists and said to Changguo Junle:
"General, since our army came out to defend the land, a total of more than 3,100 casualties have been lost. However, the results of the battle were also brilliant, with a total of more than 8,000 Wei troops annihilated and more than 16,000 captured. ”
Lejian nodded and said to Bo Wang:
"There is a message from the Intelligence Bureau that this time the five countries of the Central Plains have already met in Luoyi, preparing to jointly attack our Yan country. It seems that this time our Yan Kingdom has recovered the Wei Land, which has touched the interests of the countries in the Central Plains. ”
Bo Wang's brows furrowed slightly, and he said to Lejian:
"General, it's not good now, my Yan Kingdom is going to fight with the countries of the Central Plains. After our army occupied Diqiu City, it was already at the forefront of the confrontation with various countries, with Zhao State in the north and Wei State in the south. ”
Rakuma sighed and said to Bo Wang:
"We are waiting for the army, and we can be regarded as a lone army in the depths. The king had already consulted Ben in the future, did he let me go out to the army and return to my Yan country? It is said that it will be left to Ben to decide on his own according to the situation. ”
"However, after careful consideration, Ben is still determined to take Emperor Hill City. First, I don't want to lead the war to my Yan country; The second is to deter the countries that are allied in Luoyi. ”
"Forget it, don't say so much. Hurry up and tell the king the news of the capture of Emperor Hill City; In addition, seize the time and let the soldiers organize the people to build the collapsed eastern wall of Diqiu as soon as possible. ”
Bo Wang clenched his fists and responded: "No." ”
Before Jin Sui, the general of Wei, came to Weidi, he knew about Wei Wangyu's plan.
According to the plan he agreed with Wei Wangyu, Jin Suicai ordered to abandon the other cities of Weidi, gather the whole army to block the Yan army under the city of Diqiu, and prepare to wait for the arrival of reinforcements from various countries in order to defeat the Yan army.
According to Jin Sui's proposition, it cannot but be said that this strategy is very correct.
Think about it, my 70,000 army is facing your 100,000 Yan army, and the strength is comparable.
Besides, our Wei army is defending the city, and your Yan army is besieging the city.
If you don't play for a month or two, no one will believe it, and you can't say it!
The mistake is that he didn't expect that Lejian led the Yan army and didn't play cards according to common sense at all.
After Lejian led an army of 100,000 to Diqiu City, he faced the high walls of Diqiu City, and he didn't think about storming this city at all. Without the slightest hesitation, he decided on the blasting operation method under Jimo City at the beginning, preparing to blow up the eastern city wall of Diqiu.
After a loud bang and Emperor Qiu City was bombarded, Jin Sui was dumbfounded.
There was no choice but to lead the Wei army and flee from Diqiu City in a hurry.
The Fourth Army and the Sixth Army that the Yan Army entered the defense were fast strike corps, all cavalry troops.
Behind the Wei army, he immediately covered up and killed.
If it weren't for Lejian's concern for the reinforcements of various countries and the fact that he didn't let the Yan army chase and kill too much, the main general of the Wei army, Jin Sui, would probably be more than lucky. In this way, after Jin Sui withdrew from the defense and gathered the army, he found that the entire army of 70,000 had lost nearly 30,000.
The main general of the Wei army, Jin Sui, simply wanted to cry without tears.
I had to send someone to Luoyi to report the military situation to Wei Wangyu of the Huimeng and ask for guilt.
The Yan army took Diqiu City with lightning speed, but as Le Jian expected, it had a great shock to the monarchs and ministers of all countries who met in Luoyi.
After Wei Wangyu finished asking about the whole process of the loss of Diqiu City.
In the main hall of the Luoyi Palace, the atmosphere of heated discussion just now due to the alliance has disappeared.
Inside the main hall, there was silence, and everyone's hearts were clouded.
After hearing this news, Qin Wang Yingji was also secretly frightened.
But at this time, this depressed atmosphere must not be allowed to spread.
Yingji said to the kings of all countries and others: "Kings, everyone understands now! The reason why this king wants to convene the kings of various countries here to meet the alliance here is because the current national strength and military strength of the Yan Kingdom are really too strong. ”
"The military strength of the Yan State has now reached the point where it can be attacked effortlessly and devastatingly in the face of strong cities in various countries. We will wait for the countries to unite and let them continue to grow. ”
"So, in the near future, who of our countries would dare to face the Yan Kingdom alone? If I wait for the five countries at this time, let the Yan country be aggressive and dominate the world, then the world will be swallow food in the future, and we and other countries will be in danger. ”
As the saying goes: "If you don't have national worries, you are bound to be in danger." I, King Yingji of Qin, hereby implore the kings of all countries, we should not have any more hesitation at this moment, we must hurry up to reach an agreement, meet the alliance as soon as possible, and send troops to the Yan Kingdom. ”
Speaking of this, King Yingji of Qin looked at the kings present.
Wei Wangyu can be said to be in the palace, and he is currently the most worried about the people of Yan Kingdom.
As soon as Yingji's words fell, Wei Wangyu stood up, clasped his fists and said to the kings of various countries:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the country of Yan is now thousands of miles away, with tens of millions of people, no less than a million people with armor, thousands of chariots, hundreds of thousands of war horses, and more than ten years of Su Zhi, which can be said to be the best in the world, and there is no country in my Central Plains that can be defeated."
"Just as King Qin said just now, Yan State now has the ambition to annex the world and dominate the world. If I wait for other countries to be stingy with money and things, if children are surrounded by bamboo horses and reluctant to give up, we and other countries will be annexed by Yan in the future. ”
"Therefore, this king is here, in response to the call of the king of Qin, my Wei country is willing to join forces with all countries in Luoyi and send troops to attack Yan. This time, if you don't break the Yan Kingdom, you will not give up. ”
Zhao Wangdan sat down and said, "We have signed an alliance with Yan State, how should we deal with it?" ”
Chu King Xiong Wan turned sideways and looked at Chun Shenjun Huang Xie beside him, and saw that he nodded slightly to himself,
He also stood up, and addressed the kings of the nations and others:
This king once heard: "The rule is not chaotic, and it is not done." Plan ahead for a rainy day, and disaster will not come". We and the other five countries met in Luoyi, and now they have sworn to stand with Yan State, and the alliance signed by each country with Yan State is just self-deception. ”
"Yan Guo also signed an alliance with Wei before, but when Yan Guo believed in the alliance, Wei State may not be willing to do so. Since we are here to ally against Yan, it is better to break the alliance with Yan as soon as possible, and if we are weak and settle the world, and if we are weak and strong, we and other countries will be strong. ”
Anyway, the two of them, Xiong Wan, the king of Chu, and Huang Xie, Chun Shenjun, are not afraid of big things.
I have long made up my mind, hoping that all countries will fight with Yan to weaken the national strength and military strength of the Central Plains countries, so that Chu can take the opportunity to reap the benefits. At the moment, it is just the right time to add fuel to the fire.
Seeing this, Han Wangran also stood up and said, "This king is also willing to obey the call of King Qin and will ally against Yan." ”
After Zhao Wangdan and Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng glanced at each other, Zhao Wangdan also stood up.
"I, Zhao State, am also willing to work with other countries to ally against Yan."
Things have developed to such a point that there is no way to change the matter of the alliance of the five countries to fight Yan.
Seeing this, King Yingji of Qin laughed and said:
"Since we and the other five nations have promised to form an alliance against Yan, without further ado, we will sign an alliance as soon as possible. The day the covenant was signed was the day when the five nations of our company cut down the swallows. ”
In the second year of Yan Wangkang, March 26.
The five kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han reached the treaty of "Huimeng and Yan" in the palace of Luoyi.
And on the same day, in the southern suburbs of Luoyi, the place where the original Son of Heaven of the Zhou Chamber worshiped the heavens, he took the stage to make a covenant.
The kings of the five kingdoms, Qin Wangji, Zhao Wangdan, Chu Wangwan, Wei Wangyu, and Han Wangran, slowly walked onto the high platform in the voice of "the kings of the five countries, take the stage and swear an alliance".
When they came to the high platform, the kings of the five kingdoms lined up, knelt on the ground, and bowed to the heavens.
Then the kings of the five kingdoms stood up together, turned to face the soldiers and civilians of the countries under the high platform, and said in unison:
"I swear to the sky: King Yan is not Taoist, and the people are tired of the country; War-loving and killing, causing chaos in the world. ”
"Today, the kings of the five kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, Chu, Wei, and Han will meet Luoyi."
"I swear here: to be benevolent and righteous, to be an alliance to cut down Yan, and to be respectful to the will of heaven."
"Our oath: those who overcome the enemy with one heart will be honored together; Those who surrender to the enemy will be punished together. ”
……
The five countries agreed to jointly send troops to attack Yan in early April.
With the mobilization of the armies of various countries, the Central Plains War, which decided the fate of Yan State, was about to break out.
