Chapter 235: Movements of the Qin State
The Chu army camp.
"Song and Wei have a truce with Qi!"
"Zhao Cheng, this waste, was frightened by Tian Pan, and the 100,000 Zhao army shrank back!"
"Yan Guo..."
Xiong Huai sighed and said, "Yan Guo didn't dare to send troops to attack Qi State at the beginning!" β
Saying that, Xiong Huai laughed at himself: "These allies of the widow are really not powerful, the widow has already restrained the main force of the Qi army and let them tear off a piece of meat on the Qi country, as a result, the Song and Wei countries together only won five cities, and half of the land of Yan and Zhao has not been defeated." β
"Disappointed, disappointed."
Chen Zhen heard this: "Great King, now that the strength of the Qi State has not been damaged, other countries are not only worried that their strength will be damaged if they fight hard with the Qi State, but they are also worried that the Qi State will retaliate afterwards. β
Gongsun Yan said with a smile: "Great King, although all countries have their own small calculations, all countries are still optimistic about our Chu-Yue coalition army, otherwise all countries will not stop fighting with Qi State, but withdraw their troops and make friends with Qi State." β
"As long as we defeat the main force of the Qi army in front of us, then the countries that are watching now may immediately turn into fierce tigers and pounce on the Qi country."
Xiong Huai sneered: "I'm afraid it's not only that, the countries have not withdrawn their troops, but are holding back the strength of the Qi State, and they want to fight with the Qi State and consume the strength of the two countries." β
Hearing this, Doctor Shangguan bent down and said, "The king is wise, and he has seen through the conspiracy of various countries at a glance. β
Xiong Huai nodded smugly and asked, "How is the Yue Guo side now?" β
Chen Zhen smiled and said: "King, although the offensive of our Chu army is fiercer than that of Yueguo, but the casualties of the Yue army are also heavy. β
"Especially when the first sneak attack on the Vietnamese army, if it weren't for the defeat of Si Shi and the rapid reinforcement of the Vietnamese army, I am afraid that he would have been beaten back to Huaibei by the Qi State by now."
"Therefore, even if the offensive of the Vietnamese army against the Qi battalion is weak and weak, in terms of the loss of troops, it is only a little lighter than our Chu army."
Xiong Huai looked at Zhong Wucheng and asked, "What about Qi Jun?" β
"The Qi army is heavily guarded, and the minister has not yet detected the specific damage." Chen Zhen shook his head and sighed: "Great King, but according to the minister's estimate, the Qi army is facing our Chu and Yue armies at the same time, although the losses of the two camps are not very large, but the sum of the two, I'm afraid it won't be much better!" β
"Good!" Xiong Huai said with a smile: "Fight for consumption, the outnumbered people still fight, send orders to Zhuguo, continue to strengthen the offensive, and strive to break through the Qi camp as soon as possible." β
After speaking, Xiong Huai frowned and said: "Surrounding Xianqing, what do you say the Qin State thinks this time, the army of the Qin State has already gathered in Xianyang, and it stands to reason that the Qin State should have sent troops a long time ago." As a result, the widow has been fighting with the Qi State for so long, as an ally of the Qi State, and the two countries that are about to officially marry, why has the Qin State not moved for a long time, this is unreasonable! β
Gongsun Yan spurned and said: "Great King, the country of tigers and wolves of the Qin State definitely wants our Chu State and Qi State to consume, just wait for my Chu State to show its fatigue, it will show its fangs and attack our Chu State." β
Xiong Huai nodded, although he had asked Zhao Ju to prepare for the Qin State to leave the customs in Wancheng, but the Qin State did not squeak, it was too abnormal.
Is there something missing from the widows?
What exactly was Qin thinking?
Qin Guo: "Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Jucheng.
Su Dai reported the harvest of his trip to the King of Qi, and after the report, Su Dai smiled and said: "King, now that our Qi State has stabilized the Song and Wei countries, now as long as the Qin State sends troops to the Chu State..."
As soon as the King of Qi heard about the Qin State, he couldn't hold back the resentment he had accumulated for a long time.
There was a loud "bang", and King Qi kicked an incense burner beside him to the ground.
"Zhang Yi bullied the widow too much, and Qin Guo bullied the widow too much!" King Qi gasped and said: "Now that the widows have drawn the Wei and Song countries together to keep them neutral, and the Qin State still refuses to send troops, the Qin State is extremely shamelessΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
After a series of foul words, King Qi vented the evil anger in his heart, and saw that Su Dai, who had just returned from Wei, was still on the side, and said, "The widow is rude." β
Su Dai said indignantly when he heard this: "King, the Qin State is too deceitful, and the Weichen empathizes, and I can't wait to go to the Qin State immediately to scold the King of Qin for the king, please give the king an order, and the minister will rush to the Qin State!" β
King Qi sighed and said, "Su Zi has a heart. Widow..."
Halfway through King Qi's words, Prince Qi came over and said, "King, there is movement over there in the Qin Kingdom. β
"Qin State?!" King Qi was overjoyed and said, "But the Qin State sent troops?" β
Chu Zi nodded and said, "Officially." β
"Not long ago, the Qin State took Wei Zhang as the general and led the heavy troops to Hangu Pass, and Gan Mao as the general to lead the heavy troops to Hexi to strengthen the defense of the two places."
King Qi was pleasantly surprised: "So has the disease already arrived at Wuguan?" β
Chu Zi shook his head and said, "No, it was Qin General Wei Ran who led the troops to Wuguan." β
"Wei Ran?" King Qi was stunned: "Who is this Wei Ran?" β
Regarding Wei Ran, King Qi thought about it in his mind for a while, and found that he had no impression.
Could it be a newcomer to the Qin State?
Chu Zi was not very familiar with Wei Ran before, but when he got Wei Ran to guard Wuguan, he deliberately checked the information about Wei Ran in Qi State, and when he heard the King of Qi ask, he immediately replied: "Back to the king, as far as the minister knows, Wei Ran is the person in charge of transporting grain to Yan State last time." He was the younger brother of one of King Qin's favorite concubines, and because his sister was favored by King Qin, he was promoted to a general by King Qin. β
Speaking of this, Chu Zi frowned slightly: "It's just that King Qin's favorite concubine is a Chu woman, and Wei Ran is also a Chu person, and she is deeply involved in the Chu State." β
"Huh? Didn't the last grain shipment be messed up? Why this... This Wei Ran has appeared again? King Qi said, and stood up suddenly: "King Qin used Chu as a general to guard Wuguan, is this to make peace with Chu?" β
At this moment, King Qi's heart was full of malice towards the Qin State, and for the appointment of Wei Ran by the King of Qin, he directly thought of the most serious consequences of the Qi State.
Chu Zi swallowed his saliva, since the moment he got the news, he agreed that he was also doubting Qin Guo's intentions, but for any decision of Qin State, Qi State had no choice, who let it be Qi State who was besieged now!
It is the Qi State that should be anxious instead of the Qin State, and the Qin State has time to prepare and wait.
Chu Zi suddenly discovered that since the Qi State was besieged by various countries, the two countries of Qi and Qin were suddenly unequal.
It's just that now it is Qi that has asked for Qin, and it can't offend Qin, and Qin is still an ally of Qi.
Thinking of this, Chu Zi opened his mouth to persuade: "Great King, the hatred of the Qin State for the Chu State is no less than that of our Qi State, and now the Qin State is in a blockade with the Three Jin Dynasty, if you don't take the opportunity to break up the alliance, then it will be difficult for the Qin State to get out." β
"Therefore, according to the minister's opinion, the King of Qin appointed Wei Ran, a Chu man, maybe he is paralyzing the Chu State, as long as the Chu State relaxes its vigilance, maybe the Qin State will send troops to attack."
King Qi was stunned when he heard this, and when he couldn't think of a way, he could only look at Chu Zi expectantly and asked, "Xiangguo, this is true." β
Seeing this, the prince immediately gave King Qi a firm look and said, "Great King, Wei Zhang Gan Maogu is an important minister of the King of Qin, and they are leading troops at the same time at this time, doesn't it show that Qin Guojing is extremely thoughtful?" β
King Qi seemed to believe it, nodded, and then suddenly asked: "Xiangguo, King Qin's younger brother, where is Zhu Lijian now?" β
"Ill?" Chu Zi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Back to the king, our spies in Xianyang haven't seen the figure of Zhu Lijian for a long time. β
"Maybe I'm secretly heading to the front line, preparing for a sneak attack, right!?"
King Qi sighed lonely: "I hope so." If after a period of time, the Qin State still does not send troops, then don't blame the widow, the widow will definitely regret the marriage! β
Chu Zi thought for a while, and said: "Great King, still now that the Qin State has sent important generals from the court, it is not far from the time for the Qin State to send troops, in order to urge the Qin State, according to the opinion of the ministers, it is necessary to send an envoy to the Qin State again." β
When Su Dai heard this, he arched his hand and said: "King, what Xiangguo said is very true, please go to Qin State and urge Qin State to send troops." β
King Qi nodded and said, "There is Lao Suzi." β
"Willing to serve the king."
