Although Gaotang City is a large city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, if a hundred thousand troops are crammed in at once, it is obviously still too crowded.

Perhaps it was for this reason that Wei Wuji did not lead his Wei army into the city, but only let the 30,000 Ping Lu City Qi troops who followed him all the way into the city.

Judging by the panic on the face of the Pinglucheng General who tried so hard to hide but was still detected by Wei Wuji, it was clear that what awaited him was not a good thing.

Anyway, since that day, Wei Wuji has never seen the Pinglucheng general again.

Wei Wuji chose to camp five miles southeast of Gaotang City.

Correspondingly, the camp of the Zhao army was located in the northeast of Gaotang City.

From a topographical point of view, this is obviously very unfavorable for the siege of Zhao's army.

After all, the Wei people can easily contain the Zhao people who are attacking the city from the flank at any time, and even if they can't catch anything, the Qi people can withdraw from Gaotang City and retreat south calmly.

Judging from the situation on this battlefield alone, in fact, the situation of the Zhao army is not good, and it may even be slightly inferior.

But war is complicated because it's not just something that manifests itself on the battlefield.

If you want to win a war, you need more than just the commanders of the three armed forces to command properly.

You also need to have adequate logistics, you need strong armor and shields, you need sharp swords, you need powerful bows and crossbows.

More importantly, there is a need for a monarch who can delegate power, does not like blind command, and at the same time maintains enough trust in the front-line generals.

Whether it is Qi Wangjian or Wei Wangyu, they obviously do not belong to such a monarch.

This is the reason why only a few days later, Kuang Liang, the chief general of the Qi State, came to Wei Wuji with a wry smile on his face.

Wei Wuji received Kuang Liang very politely and politely.

Kuang Liang got straight to the point: "Xinlingjun, maybe it should be the time to take the initiative and have a decisive battle with Lian Po." ”

Wei Wuji didn't seem to be much surprised, and asked with a smile, "Why?" ”

Kuang Liang's face showed a wry smile: "Lejian led the 100,000 Yan army to win three battles in a row, and now he has crossed Jishui and surrounded Linzi. The king has ordered Yu Wu to be informed that if the Zhao army cannot be defeated within ten days, then the king will remove me from my post and resume peace negotiations with Zhao. ”

Wei Wuji shook his head lightly and said, "If this is the case, then the Zhao State side will definitely open his mouth in the negotiation and ask for more bargaining chips." Didn't King Qi think about this? ”

Kuang Liang was speechless, only to keep smiling bitterly.

Fortunately, Wei Wuji was actually just talking, and he finally made concessions.

"In that case, let's go to war in five days, I don't know what General Kuang Liang thinks?"

Kuang Liang was overjoyed when he heard this: "In this way, thank you to Xinlingjun!" ”

With only 150,000 people in Kuang Liang's hands, if there was no support from Wei Wuji, then something big would definitely happen.

Of course, even if Qi and Wei join forces, they may not be Zhao Jun's opponents in the end.

But under such circumstances, being able to unite with the Wei army to wage war against the Zhao army was already the best result that Kuang Liang could win for himself and the Qi army.

After seeing off Kuang Liang, who had been grateful for his kindness, Wei Wuji returned to the big tent alone.

After a moment of silence, Wei Wuji's face also showed a helpless wry smile.

In fact, the monarch who will use the king's order to oppress people, how much more is it a Qi Wangjian?

These days, Wei Wangyu's messengers are almost one after another, and there is only one order, that is, to let Wei Wuji end the war on the Gao Tang side as soon as possible, so that he can return to the aid of Chaoge and meet the invading Korean army!

In fact, this time Wei Wuji did not bring all the soldiers and horses of Wei, and Wei Wangyu, who had learned from the previous experience, left 50,000 soldiers in Taoyi to protect himself.

Of course, Wei Wuji could also refuse Wei Wangyu's request this time on the grounds that the general would not be subject to the foreign monarch's order, but Wei Wuji knew very well in his heart that he would never be able to do this.

This is not the first time that Wei Wuji has disobeyed Wei Wangyu's orders.

Stealing talismans to save Zhao in the Battle of Changping, this is a time,

In the battle of Handan, he refused to return to help, which was the second time.

If you add this time, then it will be the third time.

The first two disobediences had a very adverse impact on Wei Wuji, but they were also reversed by Wei Wuji one after another.

But this time the situation was different, after all, the scandal caused by Wei Wuji in the New Year had already made him lose face, and many people had begun to move closer to Wei Wangyu either explicitly or secretly.

Wei Wuji's forces are slowly disintegrating.

If there is another incident of disobedience, then not only will Wei Wuji's own reputation fall to the bottom, his team will accelerate its collapse, but Wei Wangyu and Duan Ganzi will definitely choose to attack Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji, like Kuang Liang, actually had no choice.

Only by winning, and achieving a hearty victory that keeps everyone's mouths shut, will Wei Wuji be able to emerge from this difficult environment both internally and externally.

What if it fails?

Wei Wuji forced himself not to think about the consequences.

But sometimes the more you control yourself from thinking about it, the more stubbornly it has to occupy a place in your mind.

After a long time, Xinlingjun, who had always been known for his wisdom and ability, finally gave up his efforts to fight against his thoughts, and sighed softly.

"Approximately...... It's just being imprisoned or beheaded. ”

Whether it was imprisonment or beheading, it was obviously a downright bad thing for Wei Wuji.

But the strange thing was that Wei Wuji's tone was very indifferent when he said this, as if all the negative emotions had disappeared in the previous sigh.

Wei Wuji picked up the pen and began to write.

A moment later, Zhong Cheng, who had come by order, appeared in front of Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji picked up the ink-stained slip in his hand and handed it to Zhong Cheng.

"Zhong Cheng, you will send someone to send this war letter to the camp of the Zhao army."

Zhong Cheng took the letter and subconsciously glanced at it.

There are only five very simple words on it.

"Five days later, will you fight?"

About an hour or so later, the war letter returned to Wei Wuji's hands once again.

Compared with just now, there is a big character with a silver hook and iron on the battle book.

"Fight!"

For some reason, when he saw this murderous Zhao State script, the corners of Wei Wuji's mouth suddenly hooked slightly, and he laughed very kindly.

"It's also time to learn the invincible general Lian Po in the world to lead the troops."
