Chapter 149 Wei soldiers stationed in Huayang to take precautions
After the withdrawal of the Qi State, Wei Si also hurriedly rushed to Xinzheng with 100,000 Wei troops to the south, and ordered the 70,000 troops from Shangdang who had not yet arrived because of the mud to support Xinzheng.
Ten days later, the two armies of Wei, totaling 170,000 people, finally assembled in Huayang, north of Xinzheng.
The Qin State was led by Sima Cuo, and the 100,000 troops who rushed to support had also arrived at the Korean New City not far from here, and formed a horn support for Xinzheng with the Wei army in Huayang.
At this time, the army of Chu in Xinzheng had reached 300,000 people, and the entire South Korean siege of Xinzheng was impassable.
At this time, Wei Si and Chen Zhen, Meng Wan and Wei Ran also began to discuss the safety of Xinzheng in South Korea, only to hear Wei Si say first:
"This time the State of Chu besieged Xinzheng, South Korea, and actually transferred 300,000 troops, according to the current 600,000 armor of the State of Chu, these 300,000 troops besieging Zheng are probably already the limit of the State of Chu!"
Meng Wan nodded:
"Yes, the State of Chu needs at least 70,000 soldiers to defend the Yue State in the east, and the State of Chu also needs about 30,000 soldiers to defend those barbarians in the south, and it needs 50,000 soldiers to defend Bashu, and the 150,000 soldiers to defend against Qin in Danyang and Shangyu cannot move, so if the State of Chu wants to transfer troops to support Xinzheng now, it is indeed impossible!"
Wei Ran came out and said:
"I heard that there are still 130,000 Korean troops in Xinzheng City who are struggling to resist the Chu State, and there are nearly 50,000 Korean Zhuangding who have rushed to support from all over the country, plus our Wei and Qin's 270,000 soldiers, so we now have 450,000 people, and we have an absolute advantage over the 300,000 troops of the Chu State!"
Chen Zhen said:
"Our Three Kingdoms Alliance does have a numerical advantage, but our dispatch cannot be as unified as the Chu State, and it is still very difficult to defeat the Chu army with the numerical advantage!"
Wei Si sighed:
"Yes, if the Qin State sends another 100,000 people this time, then we will definitely be able to defeat the Chu army with a numerical advantage this time and ensure the safety of Xin Zheng."
Chen Zhen suddenly said:
"Don't you say it, the minister forgot, I heard that Qin State has collected 100,000 troops in Bashu in order to attack Chu this time, plus the 400,000 troops prepared by Qin State itself for Hua Chu, a total of 500,000, but now only 100,000 people have been sent to support Xinzheng, don't you think this is a bit strange?"
Wei Ran also said:
"Yes, the minister also got the news from the Qin army, the 100,000 troops led by Sima Cuo that the Qin State came to support this time are all Bashu troops, and there is no Qin State's own army in it at all."
Wei Si said to Meng Wan:
"Meng Qing, take out the map, let's guess the movement of the Qin State first!"
So Meng Wan took out a sheepskin map from his sleeve and spread it out on the ground, and Wei Si and the three of them immediately gathered around the map.
I saw Meng Wan first point to the Lantian of the Qin State on the west side of the map and said:
"Great King, two adults, please wait, according to the news, there are now 150,000 troops stationed in Lantian of the Qin State!"
Then he pointed to the Lu clan in the land of Sanchuan and said:
"Now there are still 100,000 troops in the Qin State stationed in Lu City!"
Finally, he pointed to the Yiwang Mountain in the south of Sanchuan and adjacent to Chu, and said:
"Now there are 100,000 Qin troops on standby in Yiwang Mountain, but there are still 50,000 elite troops from South Korea stranded here!"
Wei Si also followed the analysis that Meng Wan had ended:
"If according to the arrangement of the Qin army, is it not that he plans to take advantage of the Chu State to attack Han this time, and plans to attack Danyang of the Chu State and cut off the road to Yingdu?"
Wei Ran said:
"But if the Qin State wanted to attack Danyang of the Chu State, it should have sent troops to attack it when the Chu State came to besiege Xinzheng, but now there is no news that the Qin army is attacking the Chu State, which is puzzling, does the Qin State want to wait for the Chu army to break through Xinzheng before attacking Danyang?"
Chen Zhen also said:
"Yes, the movement of this Qin State is really inscrutable, mainly now that the land of Shangluo in our Wei State is now near Shangyu, I don't know what preparations General Wei's 30,000 troops are making in Shangluo?"
Wei Si was a little worried:
"Yes, since the Qin State occupied the land of Sanchuan in Korea, the land of Shangluo of our Wei State is like a nail embedded in the Qin State here, if the Qin State is defeated this time and regains the land of Shangyu, then the land of our Shangluo will be completely surrounded by the Qin State, I am afraid that the Qin State will take the opportunity to annex the important place of Shangluo of our Wei State!"
Chen Zhen said:
"It seems that there is a conspiracy for the Qin State to exchange the Michi for our Wei State's full assistance to Xinzheng this time, it wants us to fight with Chu here, contain the Chu army, and then take advantage of the weak defense of the Chu State Shangyu to attack it, and after capturing Shang Yu, and then like the Jin State in the past, Shangluo of our Wei State will also take the opportunity to annex it!"
Wei Ran said:
"Didn't Qin Guogang just ally with our Wei State and Korea before? How can you do such an unrighteous thing as attacking our Wei State Shangluo? ”
Wei Si smiled bitterly:
"In this world, how can there be a real ally? Aren't they all aligned for their own benefit? At that time, our Wei State was willing to form an alliance with Qin and Han to deal with Chu State, because we could get all kinds of things we wanted from Chu State, and now Qin State drove the soldiers of Bashu to come, and wanted to sacrifice the soldiers of Bashu, so that we and the Chu army would lose both sides here, isn't it also what they want to see the most? ”
Chen Zhen couldn't help but say:
"Since the State of Qin is doing this to the State of Wei, the king, we might as well secretly talk to the State of Chu to see if we can make peace, right? In this way, our Great Wei will not have to be calculated by the Qin State! ”
Wei Si shook his head:
"I'm afraid this matter is not so easy, this Chu country is not comparable to the Qi country, I heard that the Chu country invaded Han this time, but it came with a shameful determination, and the Chu army's attack on Han this time also represents the desire of the people of Chu for the victory of the Chu country, if the Chu army suddenly withdraws its troops and returns to China this time, it will not be able to explain to the people of their own country."
Meng Wan said suddenly:
"My lord, the minister has thought of a way!"
Then he whispered to Wei Sixu.
After Wei Si heard this, he was overjoyed and immediately agreed with Meng Wan's plan.
Since he already had a good strategy to retreat from Chu, Wei Si gradually smiled, and in the evening, he was in a good mood and pulled Zilian to the top of a nearby mountain to enjoy the moonlight.
At this time, Wei Si sat on a mountain of rocks, and Zi Lian snuggled in Wei Si's arms.
Wei Si pointed to the Milky Way in the sky and said to Zilian:
"Lian'er, do you know what that very beautiful light and shadow in the sky is?"
Zi Lian shook his head:
"Xiaojun, I don't know anything about this, but that long light and shadow is really beautiful!"
Wei Si smiled:
"Haha, Lian'er, that light and shadow is called the Milky Way, when I was a child, I often liked to sit outside alone at night to enjoy the beauty of the Milky Way!"
Zi Lian also smiled:
"When I was a child, I often looked at the stars in the sky, but because I didn't understand anything, it was boring to watch, and in the end I simply didn't look at the two.
Wei Si nodded:
"Okay, Lian'er, which star do you want to know, I'll tell you!"
Zi Lian first pointed to a very dazzling star with fiery red in the southeast direction, and asked:
"Husband, what do you call that star?"
Wei Si explained to him:
"Lian'er, the star you are referring to is the Nayaku star of the twenty-eight Nakshatras in the Heavenly Palace!"
Zi Lian asked again:
"What is the Heavenly Palace? Is it the palace of the Tianshan Mountains? ”
Wei Si replied:
"Yes, there is a huge palace in heaven just like us on earth!"
Zi Lian looked at Wei Si with a hint of innocence:
"If there is a palace in the sky, who live in it?"
Wei Si pointed to a bright star in the center surrounded by stars in the north of the sky:
"Lian'er, did you see it? The bright and purple star surrounded by stars, located in the center of the northern sky, is the Ziwei Emperor Star, which represents the Heavenly Emperor, the owner of the Heavenly Palace. ”
Zi Lian looked at the purple micro star that Wei Si was pointing at with an ignorant look, and suddenly a cold wind hit at this time, which made the two of them shiver, and Wei Si hugged Zi Lian tightly:
"Lian'er, why don't we go back, it's so cold now!"
Zi Lian shook his head:
"Husband, but Lian'er can't sleep when she goes back now!"
Then he said:
"It's supposed to be November now, right? This year is going to pass again, Xiaojun and I will be twenty years old next year! ”
Wei Si kissed Zilian's hair:
"Yes, the widow will be thirty-five next year, alas, this time flies so fast!"
Lian'er said:
"Yes, Xiaojun, I vaguely took my cousin to the Wei Kingdom of the King for the first time at the age of sixteen to participate in the draft, and then I was taken by the King, I was a palace person, and followed the King for a whole year, and then I went to the Yan Kingdom with Suzi, and returned to the Wei Kingdom after nearly two years, I didn't expect that just after returning to the Wei Kingdom, the King You would welcome me into the palace as a poor woman with the gift of the queen, which is also what I didn't expect Xiaojun!"
Wei Si held Zilian's chin and carefully looked at the beautiful fairy-like wife in his arms again:
"Lian'er, who made you not only look so beautiful, virtuous, but also likable, and when the widow rules the world in the future, the widow can put down state affairs and accompany you wholeheartedly."
Zi Lian broke away from Wei Si's hand holding his chin:
"Husband, I'm afraid that if you really dominate the world by then, you will only be more busy, and you won't have time to accompany Xiaojun!"
Then I couldn't help but say again:
"But think about it, by that time, we may all be too old to even walk!"
Wei Si laughed:
"If you can't walk, as long as we can still hold hands then!"
Zi Lian turned the topic back:
"Husband, let's not talk about those distant things, this time are you sure that you can not only retreat the Chu soldiers, but also make our Wei country's Shangluo land preserved? Xiaojun, I have heard that the Qin army is the kind of devil who kills people without blinking, and in order to establish military merits and titles, they are extremely cruel, and even the heads of women and children can be cut off and taken back to receive merit. ”
Wei Si showed confidence:
"Lian'er, you can rest assured, the widow has discussed a good plan with the three ministers, and will definitely prevent us from being threatened by the Qin State in the pure land of Shangluo, and our Wei State is now stronger than the Qin State, and the widow can not only retreat the Chu soldiers, but also give the Qin State a dismount."
