Chapter 147: Why the Wild King (Part 2)

The war is indeed about to begin at once.

Just when Sima Terrier ordered Jin Huang to lead the Korean army towards Yewang City, about fifty miles east of Yewang City, an army of 100,000 was advancing towards the west.

Looking down from the sky, this army looks like a long dragon with no end in sight, which is quite spectacular.

The prince of Wei, the king of Xinling, Wei Wuji, is the commander of this Wei army.

At this moment, Wei Wuji was dressed in military uniform, riding a white horse under his crotch, and was in the center of the entire army surrounded by many generals, slowly heading west along the road.

There were at least twenty generals around Wei Wuji, some of whom were old faces, while others were new faces who had just appeared.

It is obviously not an easy task to seize power, especially to seize the power of a general like Jin Cong, who has been in the Wei army for so many years.

This is actually a very bloody and brutal thing.

But fortunately, this is an army, an army that has fought hundreds of battles over the past hundreds of years, so this kind of blood and cruelty is quite accustomed to this army.

According to Wei Wuji's original idea, he originally planned to trick Jin Con into surrendering his military power, and then put Jin Con and the generals of Jin Con's faction under house arrest.

It's a pity that Jin Contempt didn't give Wei Wuji a chance to make this choice.

When Zhu Hai hammered Jin Contempt's head to pieces like a watermelon, Wei Wuji knew that he and the generals of Jin Contempt's faction had no possibility of reconciliation.

So this Xinling Jun, with the help of Zhong Cheng and his own disciples, faced all the unsuspecting Wei generals and launched a very decisive seizure of power.

All the generals who tried to resist were captured or killed by Wei Wuji's men, which caused chaos.

It was a mess of no small scale, and by the time the chaos had completely subsided, it would be a full day later.

Although it was delayed for a whole day, when the Wei army hit the road the next day, a large number of new generals and officers had already appeared in this army, taking the place of the original Jin contempt.

In short, the current Wei army is basically firmly in the hands of Wei Wuji.

A puff of dust and smoke came from the road ahead with the sound of horses' hooves, and a moment later, Zhong Cheng appeared in front of Wei Wuji.

As one of the confidants of the original Jin Contempt, Zhong Cheng's sudden backlash undoubtedly surprised many people.

If it weren't for Zhong Cheng, then even if Wei Wuji could kill Jin Contempt in the first place, then what would happen next would be difficult.

Considering that Wei Wuji and his entourage were physically exhausted after the long journey, it was even very likely that they would die directly at the hands of the hundred guards led by Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng gave a military salute to Wei Wuji: "General! ”

Wei Wuji glanced at Zhong Cheng and asked, "How's the situation?" ”

After the departure of the army, Zhong Chengcheng was appointed as the forward general, responsible for charging in wartime and reconnaissance in peacetime.

Zhong Chengyi pulled the reins of the horse, walked side by side with Wei Wuji, and said, "There is no hostility in the twenty miles ahead. ”

Wei Wuji nodded and said, "Good." The order went down, and ordered the whole army to speed up, and be sure to enter the first ten miles of Yewang City tonight. ”

This sentence was not said to Zhong Cheng.

Several heralds rode out, their hooves carrying smoke and dust, and quickly walked away.

Since the supply of grain and grass from Wei had been cut off after the seizure of power, this time Wei Wuji led the army on the road not lightly, but carried a large number of grain and grass supplies.

One consequence of this is that the army is now marching at a speed of only forty or fifty miles a day.

This is also the reason why the Wei army led by Wei Wuji has not yet arrived under the Yewang City, which has been on the road for several days.

On the other hand, with the decline of Wei at this moment, the elite of the Wei army was inevitably affected.

You must know that the Wei warriors who swept the world back then, but as said in the "Xunzi Parliamentary Chapter", "the armor of the three genera, the crossbow of the twelve stones, the fifty arrows of the bear, the crown and the sword, win the food for three days, and the day is a hundred miles." ”

And now, although the army in Wei Wuji's hands is still the strongest combat force in Wei, it is far from the Wei Wushu back then, and it can only be regarded as an ordinary army.

Wei Wuji was to lead such an army to challenge the Great Qin Iron Army, which had defeated Wei many times in the past few decades.

Many people were sweating for Wei Wuji's expedition, and even many in the Wei army had little confidence in this battle.

But Wei Wuji didn't seem to have any worries or fears, he was always so calm and full of confidence.

Zhong Cheng glanced at Wei Wuji, and stopped talking.

Wei Wuji noticed Zhong Cheng's action out of the corner of his eye, so he turned his head: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhong Cheng hesitated for a while, but still said stubbornly: "General, there is something unknown to my subordinates. ”

Wei Wuji said: "It's all right. ”

Zhong Chengdao: "Why did the general lead the army to Yewang instead of Changping?" ”

It's not just Zhong Cheng, many people have such a question in their hearts.

You must know that after the seizure of power, Wei Wuji's route to march was not only the wild king.

He could go directly to the west, passing through Mucheng in Zhao Guozhong, and entering the Beishang Dang Basin from Yanggue.

In this way, the Wei army would be able to support the battle in the Beishangdang Basin, and even hopefully drive the Qin army out of the Beishangdang Basin.

In addition, Wei Wuji could also go a little south, and go directly to the Changping front battlefield along the Bai Cheng on the west side of the Song City of the Wei Dynasty.

In this way, the Zhao army could cooperate with the main force of the Zhao army on the Changping front line from the flank to launch an attack on the main force of the Qin army.

No matter how you look at these two routes, they are better choices than the wild king.

There are 100,000 Qin-Han allied troops on this side of Yewang City, and their strength is strong.

And Wei Wuji chose the wild king, not only the road was far away, but he could not get the cooperation of the Zhao army, and he was a lone army.

This is a very unwise choice no matter how you look at it.

But Wei Wuji did just that, if Wei Wuji was just a person who didn't know anything about military affairs, it would be fine, but everyone in the world knew that this Xinling Jun was an out-and-out master of the art of war.

So no matter how you look at it, there is a strange meaning in this matter.

Zhong Cheng actually had such doubts in his heart, and it was not until today that he finally couldn't help but ask such doubts.

Wei Wuji glanced at Zhong Cheng, and suddenly reached out and patted Zhong Cheng's shoulder, revealing a smile.

"Thou shalt know in the future."
