Chapter 247: Dividing Troops

As he spoke, King Qi's fingers moved westward along the river north of Hangu Pass, and did not stop until the river bend in a zigzag: "From Hangu Pass all the way to here, the river is in a deep valley, and the water is turbulent, and it is impossible to cross the river. โ€

"But it's different here, this small section of the river, the east and west sides are plains, the east is the Puban Fenyin line of the Wei State, the west is the Guanzhong of the Qin State, the opposite of Puban is the Linjin of the Qin State, and the opposite side of Fenyin is the Xiayang of the Qin State, if you cross the river in Puban, then you can bypass the Hangu Pass and go directly to Xianyang of the Qin State."

"Therefore, the widow means that this time our coalition army is divided into two routes, one way to attack Hangu Pass outside Hangu Pass, and the second way is to detour to Pusaka, cross the river to attack Linjin, once the Qin army's defense line is broken, the army will immediately go straight to Xianyang."

As soon as the King of Wei heard the advice of the King of Qi, his heart was immediately overjoyed.

This plan of the King of Qi is very beneficial to the Wei State, although Hexi is the homeland of the Qin State, but the Wei State has occupied it for nearly 80 years, which is a sign of the hegemony of the Wei State.

Once the coalition forces captured these lands, not only would the Qin state be greatly weakened, but the Wei state would be greatly strengthened.

Thinking about it, King Wei hurriedly nodded and said: "King Qi's suggestion is really unexpected, Hangu Pass is extremely strong, and it can't be attacked in a short period of time, if you want to quickly break through the Qin defense line, and then weaken the ยทยทยทยทยทยท of Qin."

King Wei glanced at everyone, nodded and said, "The widow thinks that King Qi's suggestion is feasible, and I, Wei, agree..."

King Wei was only halfway through his words, and he was ripped off by Lou Yu behind him, and then King Wei seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped.

Xiong Huai's heart burst out.

The King of Qi helped the Wei State so much, could it be that the King of Qi and the King of Wei secretly hooked up!

He hesitated, but he didn't speak.

King Han is dispensable for this, for South Korea, the biggest threat is still the Qin State, no matter where it hits, as long as it can weaken the Qin State.

King Zhao saw that the king of Chu and the king of Han were all groaning, and he did not say anything or object, a cold light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he glanced at the king of Wei with disdain.

Although according to the plan of the King of Qi, it is impossible to succeed, but if the river is crossed to attack the Qin State, this plan is feasible, but in this way, the Qin State will definitely be weakened, but the Wei State will also be strengthened.

King Zhao knew very well that in the past few years, Wei has been reorganizing Wei Wushu, and if Wei regains the land of the West River, then Wei's national strength will be almost the same as that of Wei during the hegemonic period.

The strength of Wei State, South Korea doesn't matter, anyway, whether it is Wei State or Zhao State, he is a little brother, and he is used to it, just follow the mix.

But Zhao State can't bear it, in terms of threats, the threat of the overlord Wei is far more than the overlord Qin, and the distance between Yecheng of Wei and Handan, the capital of Zhao, is very close.

During the reign of Marquis Wu of Wei, the Wei State attacked Handan and almost succeeded. During the reign of King Hui of Wei, the Wei army besieged Handan again, and this time the capital of Zhao fell.

And if the Qin State wants to attack the Zhao State, a surging river alone is enough for the Qin State to drink a pot.

Of course, the threat of Qi as the hegemon to Zhao is not small, and it is better to be like this now, with Chu as the hegemon.

Thinking about it, King Zhao cleared his throat, coughed twice, and when he saw that everyone had seen it, he said: "King Qi's attention is good, but he still has doubts in his heart. โ€

As soon as King Qi saw King Zhao asking, he asked with a smile, "I don't know what King Zhao has to teach you?" โ€

King Zhao said with a smile: "Don't dare to give advice, few people know that Qi is proficient in water warfare, but has King Qi seriously investigated the water potential of this section of the river, as well as the situation in Linjin and Heyang on the other side of Puban?" โ€

The King of Qi listened to King Zhao's inquiry, thought for a while, and said: "This widow is far away in the Qi State, so naturally he doesn't know much, but the Jin State and the Wei State have attacked the Qin State from here several times, so they must be very familiar with it!" I don't know what King Wei thinks? โ€

As soon as King Wei heard that King Qi handed over the problem to him, he remembered the situation of Heyang Linjin, his face suddenly darkened, and he sighed: "King Qi doesn't know, this land of Heyang Linjin, since the time of Qin Mugong, after the Li Ji Rebellion in the Jin State, was given to the Qin State by the Jin State, and it has been more than hundreds of years. โ€

"Especially more than a hundred years ago, the Qin State sent troops to the Dali Kingdom, and broke through the Dali Wangcheng in one fell swoop, not only setting up Linjin County, but also building a high wall on the west bank of the river to Linjin State, known as Linjin."

"So on the other side of Kasaka, it's a high wall, and the river is used as a moat, it's too difficult and too difficult to break through!"

It's too difficult to have two in a row, and it exhausts the helplessness of Wei.

But fortunately, Wei also built the Great Wall on the east bank, and Qin could not attack Wei from here, and neither of the two countries could help anyone.

โ€œยทยทยทโ€

I only know one and I don't know the other, and I really can't take it for granted to fight.

Then, the King of Qi did not give up and asked, "Then how did the ancestor of your country, Wenhou, break through the defense line of the Qin army and occupy Linjin City?" โ€

King Wei thought for a while and said: "It was a civil strife in the Qin State, and it happened that Yiqu attacked Qin on a large scale, and at that time, Zhao Xiangzi, the ruling of the Jin State, was old, and the Qin State relaxed its vigilance against the Jin State and was negligent in its defense, so it was hit by my ancestor Wenhou." โ€

"However, because Linjin is very close to the heart of Qin, it was fiercely resisted by Qin, so after the first monarch of Wei, Wenhou, I was never able to attack Qin's Guanzhong from Linjin City, and finally I could only retreat and choose Shaoliang in the north."

โ€œยทยทยทโ€ Although the proposal put forward was unrealistic, King Qi's face did not change, and he opened his mouth with a horizontal heart: "King Wei, what if we cross the river from Fenyin to attack Shaoliang?" Whether this is possible. โ€

When the King of Wei heard this, he did not wait for the others to speak, and immediately replied: "Shaoliang is feasible, Shaoliang City is built by my Wei State, when my Wei State and Qin State competed for Shaoliang, they have repeatedly fought for several years, and the direction of the main defense is the west rather than the east, these years Qin State has been crossing the river from Shaoliang to attack my Wei State, and is on the offensive, and has not strengthened the defense of Shaoliang City on the east side, so if it is to attack Shaoliang, this matter is feasible." โ€

"It's just..." King Wei said hesitantly: "It's just that not long ago, Gan Mao led tens of thousands of reinforcements to Shaoliang City, and if our coalition forces want to capture Shaoliang, I'm afraid it will not be easy." โ€

King Qi smiled when he heard this: "It's okay, one more choice is better than only attacking Hangu Pass." โ€

Saying that, the King of Qi said to the King of Chu: "Alliance leader, what do you say? โ€

Seeing this, Xiong Huai nodded and said, "Yes, one more choice is better than no choice." โ€

Saying that, Xiong Huai hesitated: "It's just that the widow has a question, if Pusaka is okay, Pusaka is very close to Hangu Pass and can support each other, if the other way attacks Shaoliang, the distance is too far, how can we echo each other." โ€

When King Zhao saw that the King of Chu was inquiring, he immediately followed: "Yes, as the alliance leader said, in addition to the fact that the two armies are too far apart and difficult to echo, there is also the problem of the grain road. โ€

"Dozens of miles east of Hangu Pass, and more than 100 miles west of Hangu Pass, all of them are deep river canyons, which are difficult to cross, if you want to transport grain to Fenyin, then the grain road will increase by hundreds of miles, such a long distance, the consumption is too great."

"And not only that, in the past, in order to compete with Qin for Shaoliang, the two countries fought in Shaoliang for five or six years in succession, and Wei gained a firm foothold in Shaoliang."

Saying that, King Zhao reminded King Wei: "King Wei, the current Qin State is not the Qin State that Wei Wenhou faced before, even if we capture Shaoliang, I don't know if King Wei can hold your Wei State?" โ€
