Chapter 637: The Widow Prepares to Move the Capital! (1st Update)
Habits are a terrible thing.
When people just get something, they will always hold this thing in the palm of their hands like a treasure, a bite of a heart and liver baby, and they can't wait to be tired of being with this treasure every day.
But as long as the days go by and you get used to the existence of this thing, then it will immediately slowly change from a treasure to an ordinary thing, and even become a burden and an object that can be discarded.
This is why men and women who have just established a relationship will be like glue, but middle-aged men think that being promoted, getting rich, and dying their wives belong to the three happy events in life.
This is also the reason why when a baby comes out of the swaddling clothes, parents take good care of him/her, but when he is older, he or she will start to reprimand and even stick education.
Once you get used to it, it's not so precious.
For the people of Zhao, victory is such a news that they have become accustomed to, just as the people of Zhao are always accustomed to holding their heads high no matter which country they go to.
Since the Battle of Changping, too many victories have spoiled the people of Zhao.
Those people in Handan City who were once ecstatic because of the victory in the Battle of Changping will now only let out a faint oh after hearing the good news from the grassland, and then scold the wife who should scold the wife, and the child who should beat the child, without any expression of surprise or surprise at all.
In a sense, this was also the mentality that a large country and a citizen of the largest power at that time should use.
Lao Tzu is the first in the world, what's so strange about winning against you scum? If you can't win, that's news.
Compared with the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State, who were completely accustomed to victory, Wei Wangyu, who was far away in Taoyi, was obviously not completely accustomed to the fact that Wei was able to win consecutive battles, so when he received the news that Shouchun was broken, the smile on Wei Wangyu's face never stopped.
Since the First World War last year, the Huaibei land of Chu has been almost completely divided between Wei and Zhao, and only a small part of the land near the sea is still in the hands of the Chu people.
Due to the fact that the Zhao people were blocking the east, it was natural for Wei Wangyu to focus on the south of the Huai River in this battle of Chu.
And if you want to attack the south of the Huai River, then Yandu Shouchun, which is only one river away from Xia Cai, is a place that must be taken.
The Han and Wei coalition forces first fought a big battle with the Chu army in Pingyu, and after defeating the Chu army with great difficulty, the Koreans chose to attack the current Yingdu of Chu in the southwest direction, while the Wei people sent their troops to the southeast and headed towards Shouchun.
I have to say that although the state of Chu has suffered repeated defeats in the past few years, when the Wei army crossed the river to encircle and attack Shouchun, it still encountered very stubborn resistance.
It took several months, and the 150,000 troops of Wei spent most of the spring and the whole summer under Shouchun City, and then Shouchun was defeated.
The Koreans, on the other hand, have met with very stubborn resistance under the city, and there has been no progress so far.
This was actually because the main force of the Chu army retreated to Xicheng after the defeat and not Shouchun, but Wei Wangyu didn't care about this at all.
The fall of Shouchun means that the throat of the Yingdu Xicheng of Chu and the vast southeast Wuyue region was choked by the Wei people, and the next thing Wei Wangyu needed to do was to continue to march to the east and take down Jiujiang County and Huiji County of the Chu people.
If Jiujiang County and Huiji County could really be taken, then the territory of Wei would be doubled in an instant, even compared to the territory of the overlord Wei in its heyday.
What's more, the territory of the overlord Wei was actually divided into three places: Hedong, Central Plains and Zhongshan, which made the overlord Wei feel that many times it was too powerful to gather in one place.
But now the territory of this Wei State is a complete piece of contiguous block, and all the forces can be gathered together to fight out, which is undoubtedly much more efficient.
Wei has had enough of the enclaves.
As long as Jiujiang County and Huiji County can be taken down, then Wei will really have the capital and confidence to dominate.
At that time, Wei Wangyu will be the out-and-out king of Zhongxing!
As soon as he thought of this, Wei Wangyu's whole person couldn't help but have a fluttering feeling.
Hmph, so many people have come, and there have always been people who feel that the widow is not a Ming monarch, and they are all saying that the widow is not as good as that Wei Wuji at all, and some people even say that the widow unjustly killed Wei Wuji, but self-destroyed the Great Wall of Wei.
It's all fucking fart!
The widow will soon let the whole world understand that the widow is not only no worse than Wei Wuji, but also stronger than all the previous kings of the Wei State in history!
Regarding Wei Wangyu's thoughts, Duan Ganzi, the current minister of Wei, can naturally see it thoroughly.
Since becoming Xiangbang, Duan Ganzi's body size has begun to swell rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he has slowly evolved from a middle-aged man with a normal figure to a fat man, and it looks like he will soon become an out-and-out big fat man.
At this moment, this fat man Duan Ganzi was bowing his hand towards Wei Wangyu with a smile on his face: "The king is wise and martial, leading the Wei country to forge ahead and struggle more than once, and now he can make such an immortal feat." Once the two counties of Jiujiang and Huiji are taken, the king will definitely become the first Ming monarch in the history of Wei under the pen of the historian! ”
When Wei Wangyu heard Duan Ganzi's words, he finally couldn't help but laugh out loud with pride.
Life must be happy.
But smiling and smiling, Wei Wangyu suddenly remembered something again, and asked Duan Ganzi, "By the way, what is the situation of Zhao Guo now?" ”
Although the outside world's evaluation of Wei Wangyu is a mediocre king, mediocrity does not mean laziness, Wei Wangyu has been wholeheartedly on all matters of the southern war of Chu these days, and he really doesn't know much about the war of Zhao in the north.
Duan Ganzi replied: "The minister heard that the Yan State has ceded the cities of Wuyang and Fenmen in exchange for peace between Yan and Zhao, while the Xiongnu side has been defeated by Lian Po. ”
When Wei Wangyu heard this, he couldn't help but snort and said, "This Zhao Dan's luck is really good!" ”
I don't know when Wang Wei no longer calls King Zhao, but calls Zhao Dan by his name.
For Wei Wangyu, this guy Zhao Dan is just a person who has stepped on shit luck, if Wei Wangyu is allowed to sit in Zhao Dan's position, then Wei Wangyu will definitely be able to do better than Zhao Dan!
As soon as he heard the news of Zhao Dan's victory, Wei Wangyu's heart was not so happy.
If the current Wei State wants to dominate, then the biggest opponent is the current leader of the Three Jin Alliance, Zhao State, if Zhao State is also constantly winning, it will be very difficult for Wei State to catch up with Zhao State.
Wei Wangyu was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "The widow is preparing to move the capital, I don't know what Duan Qing thinks?" ”
Duan Ganzi was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Why did the king say this? ”
Moving the capital is definitely a troublesome thing.
Generally speaking, there are two types of capital relocation: passive capital relocation and active capital relocation.
Passive relocation of the capital is easy to understand, that is, the enemy is afraid or the capital is occupied and has to move the capital, when the state of Chu moved from Yingdu to Chencheng, and then moved from Chencheng to Xicheng is such a situation.
For example, in order to pass through the Central Plains, Zhao took the initiative to move the capital from Jinyang to Zhongmu, and then moved from Zhongmu to the current Handan.
What kind of capital does Wei Wangyu belong to now? Duan Ganzi actually wanted to know the answer.
Wei Wangyu coughed and said to Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing, that Zhao Dan is a wolf with ambitions, once this battle is won, then Zhao Dan will definitely not be able to ignore it, maybe he will send a large army to crusade against the widow." Although Taoyi is large and prosperous, it is only a few days away from Handan, so it is still too dangerous. ”
Duan Ganzi understood as soon as he heard this.
To put it bluntly, Wei Wangyu is still very afraid of the pressure of Zhao State.
The tragic situation of the flooding of Daliang City is still vivid, and although the ruins of Daliang City have long since dispersed, it has also become a ghost town.
After this tragic experience, Wei Wangyu actually didn't want to face the situation of being besieged by the Zhao army again.
With the invincible reputation of Zhao Jun, being so close to Zhao State really made Wei Wangyu sleep badly.
Duan Ganzi hesitated for a moment and said, "Great King, now that Zhao and Wei are in the alliance of the Three Jins, I think that King Zhao should not easily betray the alliance and attack Wei, right?" And if the king wants to move the capital, where will he go? ”
Wei Wang Yu snorted and said, "Zhao Dan is simply a faithless and unrighteous person, otherwise he would not have crusaded against the widow so many times in succession!" The widow has already thought about it, and after winning Jiujiang and Huiji in this battle, the widow will move the capital to Shouchun! ”
"Shouchun?" Duan Ganzi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after a while, he came back to his senses and suddenly felt that this idea seemed to be good.
First of all, Shouchun, as the Yandu (companion capital) of the Chu State, was a large city in the Chu State, and there were also palaces and palaces for the king to live in.
Therefore, in terms of hardware facilities, Shouchun is qualified, as long as it is slightly repaired and the decoration style can be changed.
Secondly, Shouchun is located south of the Huai River, thousands of miles away from the capital of Zhao and the border of Wei and Zhao, and it is much more difficult for the people of Zhao to hit Shouchun than it is to hit Taoyi.
In comparison, it is very convenient for the people of Chu to fight Shouchun, but is the current Wei State afraid of Chu?
Having said that, Duan Ganzi couldn't help but say after thinking about it: "But the king, if the capital is moved to Shouchun, will it be more difficult to pass through the Central Plains?" ”
Wei Wangyu waved his hand impatiently and said, "What's the difficulty?" The capital of the Qin State is far away in Guanzhong, and it is necessary to go through such a precipitous place as the Kuihan Pass to go east, and I have not seen any difficulty. The widow from Shouchun to the north is all plains, and at most a few rivers need to be crossed, which is more difficult than that of the Qin State? ”
Wei Wangyu said everything to this point, and Duan Ganzi naturally didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurriedly said: "What the king said is very true, so the minister will go down and start preparing for all kinds of matters." ”
Wei Wangyu thought for a while and said, "You can find a reliable person to let out the news first, and wait until the New Year's Day is the time of the big court meeting." Also, Shouchun will also send someone to take over and repair the palace as soon as possible, and strive to complete it within two years! ”
The current political arena of Wei is completely under the control of Wei Wangyu and Duan Ganzi, as long as these two people make a decision, basically no one in Wei can oppose it.
After a pause, Wei Wangyu stopped Duan Ganzi, who was about to leave: "By the way, you will quietly send a few envoys to Xianyang to contact the people of Qin!" ”
Duan Ganzi was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Isn't the king going to fight against Zhao with Qin?" ”
Wei Wangyu shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not the time yet, but it's a matter of time before you resist Zhao. ”
Failure makes people grow, and after the last defeat of Lian Qin against Zhao, Wei Wangyu is no longer so impatient to defeat Zhao in one fell swoop.
But even so, after Duan Ganzi left, Wei Wangyu couldn't help but slam his fist on the table in front of him with a bang, and said a word in a voice that only he could hear.
"Zhao Dan, it won't be too long for you to be proud!"
