Chapter 45: The Princes of the Guanze League

Guanze, the gateway to the east of Wei, is located at the junction of Qi, Zhao, Wei and Wei, and its strategic position is naturally very important for Wei.

After Wei Si arrived at Guanze non-stop, the next day he began to hold a ceremony with Zhao Jun and Song Jun, who had just arrived here, to form a three-kingdom alliance to conquer Qi.

It's just that what Wei Si didn't expect was that Wei Jun had already come to the Guanze Alliance early, and he also promised to send troops to fight together with the Three Kingdoms.

Wei Si was naturally angry when he looked at this Wei Jun, but after all, he was the monarch of a big country, and of course he had to have the demeanor of the lord of his own country, so he had to endure it for the time being.

After Wei Si first walked on the stage of the Huimeng, which had already been set up, he also invited Zhao Jun, Song Jun and Wei Jun to come to the stage together, and then there were bursts of drum music in the audience.

At this time, Wei Si said loudly to the courtiers of the four countries who were watching in the audience:

"Today is a great day, our monarchs of Wei, Zhao, Song and Wei have joined forces in Guanze, and the purpose of our alliance is to crusade against the Qi State in the East, and I believe that with the strength of our four countries, we will crusade against the Qi State that is fighting with the Yan army, it must be twice the result with half the effort."

The other three monarchs also echoed the King of Wei.

After Wei Si finished speaking, Zhao Jun and Zhao Yong also began to speak:

"Now that the Qin State is at war with the Chu army in Bashu, and the Qi State is also at war with the Yan State, the humiliation of the Qi State against our four countries over the years, I believe everyone must have not forgotten it, right?"

Wei Si, Song Jun, and Wei Jun also echoed Zhao Yong:

"Yes, Zhao Jun, you are right...... Right! ”

I only heard Zhao Yong continue:

"Originally, South Korea also wanted to participate in this expedition, but because South Korea experienced the last war with Qin, it has not yet eased up, so it also participated in our expedition, but our four countries still have to work together to defeat Qi and regain the land and people that our countries have occupied by Qi over the years!"

After speaking, the four gentlemen stretched out a hand one after another, stacked it together, and high-fived it as an alliance.

Then Wei Si presided over a banquet and drank with the other monarchs of the three kingdoms and enjoyed the dance and music.

At this time, the expressions of the four monarchs were obviously quite different, Song Jun was holding a wine glass, staring straight at these beautiful and beautiful dancers, while Wei Jun just kept drinking and glanced at these dancers from time to time.

Zhao Jun's expression was obviously a little stressed, after all, in the past few years, in the confrontation with Qin and Qi, Zhao Guo had repeatedly lost troops and lost cities, abandoned cities and land, and this time to attack Qi, Zhao Jun naturally wanted to be ashamed, so that he could be regarded as having an explanation for himself and his own people.

Wei Si is very natural, because although this attack on Qi is the main force of his own Wei State, but the main force of his Wei army has been transferred to the west to attack Qin, and this time to attack Qi, Wei Si also has a purpose, that is, I hope that after the coalition defeats Qi State this time, Qi State will not pose a threat to the east of Wei State for at least ten years, so that Wei Si can concentrate on governing the country and dealing with all matters in the western part of Wei State.

Suddenly, Su Qin came over and whispered in Wei Si's ear:

"King, Yan General Lu Maoshou is here!"

Wei Si was stunned for a moment:

"How could Yan Guo receive the news that we were going to cut Qi? The widow presided over this expedition, but it was very secretive, huh? ”

Su Qin replied:

"King, can you ask that Yan General Lu Mao Shou later, I don't know if you want to let that Lu Mao Shou come over now?"

Wei Si nodded:

"Let him come over, after all, this time the Yan Kingdom is also deeply harmed, and it can be regarded as our ally!"

After Lu Maoshou walked in, it was naturally something that the other three monarchs didn't expect, after all, this Lu Maoshou was the general of Yan State, and now Yan Qi was fighting, but this Lu Maoshou came to Wei State so far, so that everyone's eyes were focused on this Yan country general Lu Maoshou.

I saw that Lu Maoshou first saluted the other three monarchs, and then came over and saluted Wei Si as well, saying:

"King Wei, our King Yan heard that you Siguo wanted to rescue our Yan Kingdom this time, so I specially ordered my Lu Maoshou to come to Wei Kingdom by detour from Yan Kingdom, so as to thank you and King Wei for you!"

Zhao Jun looked at Lu Maoshou's expression at this time, and his expression was a little wrong:

"General Lu Maoshou, you just said that you came by detour, but I don't know where you came from?"

Lu Maoshou turned around and returned to Zhao Jun:

"I'm Lu Maoshou, of course, I've made a detour from your country!"

Zhao Jun immediately asked again:

"But our Zhao Kingdom has not received the news that General Lu Maoshou has entered my Zhao realm?"

Lu Maoshou replied:

"That's because I came here from your Zhao Kingdom in a cloth suit, of course your Zhao State guards can't find me, Zhao Jun also wants to blame you Zhao State guards?"

Zhao Jun suddenly realized something, and said:

"I see!"

Then a thought suddenly arose in my heart:

"If the widow also learns to dress up like this deer hair shou in the future and goes to the countries to secretly spy on the situation, won't the nations also find out about the widow? That's a great idea! ”

Lu Mao Shoujian Zhao Jun replied, and no longer paid attention to himself, so he asked Zhao Jun again:

"Zhao Jun, aren't you still angry with me Yan Guo?"

Wei Si was naturally worried that Zhao Yan's disagreement at this time would not be conducive to this expedition, and he also said to Zhao Yong:

"Zhao Jun, I think you Yan Zhao should abandon your grudges at this time and go to crusade against the tyrant Qi with the enemy!"

Zhao Yong came back to his senses and immediately nodded:

"Yes, thank you King Wei for your reminder, my Zhao Kingdom is not the kind of country that is petty and childish!"

Wei Siyixi:

"That's good, that's good!"

Then he interrogated with Sanjun about the situation of Lu Maoshou's battle with Qi Yan this time.

It turned out that Yan Wang Xu wanted to let the country go to Zizhi, and aroused the dissatisfaction of Yan Prince Ping, so Yan Prince Ping ordered someone to write a book to Qi Wang Tian to open up the territory, wanting him to help him eliminate Yan Xiangzizhi.

It was precisely because of the last crusade against Guanze of Wei that although he was defeated by the Wei and Zhao coalition forces, Tian Bijiang, the king of Qi, who had not achieved practical benefits, was naturally overjoyed after receiving the letter of distress from Prince Yan, and immediately made a decision, and gathered the soldiers and horses of Qi to start the crusade against Yan in the name of 'stealing the country from the son and helping Prince Yan to succeed to the throne'.

The two armies of Qi and Yan have fought three times in Hejian, Xuzhou, and Wuhuan, and due to the disparity in strength, the Yan army has naturally suffered defeat.

At this time, the Qi army was close to occupying all the territory of the Yan State in the Zhangshui and Yellow River sections, and Wu Huan, which was adjacent to the Zhao State, had become the only isolated city south of the Yan Army in Zhangshui.

After Wei Si and the other three monarchs learned the news, they immediately discussed it, and Zhao Jun also took the initiative to abandon the old grudge with Yan Guo this time and decided to send troops alone to rescue Wu Huan of Yan State.

The three kingdoms of Wei, Song and Wei directly sent troops to attack Maling, Zhen and A of Qi, but the main armies of Wei, Song and Wei were naturally dominated by Song, after all, Wei and Song had signed a private agreement before, that is, Song promised to attack Qi with Wei with the main force, and Wei also got nearly 100 miles of land adjacent to Song.

A few days later, Tian Bijiang in Xuzhou, the Yan land that he had just occupied, also received the news of the four countries to attack Qi, and he was naturally shocked, after all, the Song State had always been his own ally before, and this time he actually joined the ranks of the crusade against his own country, and at this time the battle with the Yan army was still scorching, and it was also because the guards of the Yan army of Wuhuan swore to resist to the death, and their Qi army was unable to conquer this city for a while, and continued to go north.

At this time, Tian Bijiang had no choice but to surround Kuang Zhang, the main general of the Yan Raid beside him, and Tian Ying, Xiangguo, who had just arrived from Linzi, the national capital, and began to ask about countermeasures.

Just listen to Kuang Zhang first said:

"King, you don't have to be in a hurry, this time the Wei State gathered Zhao, Song, and Wei to take advantage of our war with the Yan army and the emptiness of the country to attack our Qi State, presumably to retaliate for the last time the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin, our Qi State attacked its Guanze, I expect that the Wei State has been weakened over the years, and I will not dare to be too aggressive, it is better for us to take this Wuhuan with heavy troops for the time being, and then collect troops to deal with the Four Kingdoms!"

Tian Ying immediately said:

"General Kuang Zhang, can you say that, Wei has focused on the second innovation after Li Kui's reform in the country in recent years, and the national strength has grown a lot, the last time the Song Dynasty was attacked, Wei also appeared a Wei Mang pawn who was not inferior to Wei Wushu, even if our Qi State is now fighting head-on with it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have a sure victory, so I think the most important thing is that you should send someone to the King of Wei to negotiate peace this time!"

Kuang Zhang immediately refuted Tian Ying:

"Tian Xiang, you also think too highly of the current Wei State, right? Although there are Zhao, Song, and Wei three countries with them to jointly crusade against our country, but the last time the countries joined forces to attack Qin, you didn't see it, they all had their own ghosts, so they don't have to be afraid, after we occupy this Wuhuan, defeat the troops of one of the countries first, and the other three countries will naturally retreat! ”

Tian Ying said again:

"However, although our Qi army has now surrounded this Wuhuan City, but Wu Huan's defender Lu Maoshou would rather die than surrender, if he attacks hard, I am afraid that he will suffer heavy losses, and in Yan State, Tai Ziping does not have any strength to help our Qi State, so I think we still have to go to the King of Wei to negotiate peace, it's a big deal to send it some territory, temporarily ease the current situation, and it's not too late to attack it in the future!"

Qi Wangtian chuckled:

"Tian Ying, since our father Wei Wang, our Qi country has only occupied the land of other countries, how can there be any such thing as ceding our own land and seeking peace? So Tian Ying, this method is not advisable! ”

Kuang Zhang said to Tian Pijiang with some joy:

"Your Majesty, do you also support my strategy of sending heavy troops to attack Wu Huan and then return to defend the Four Kingdoms?"

Tian Bijiang shook his head:

"General Kuang, your method is also not advisable, if you wait for you to capture Wuhuan and then return to defend the four countries, I am afraid that the four countries have already entered Linzi, the capital of our country!"

Then he slowed down for a moment and whispered to Kuang Zhang and Tian Ying together:

"Why don't you do it.........!"
