Chapter 150: Qin Falsifier Yu Meng Wan is assassinated

The Lantian camp of the Qin State.

The white-haired King of Qin staggered to the central command platform in the camp, waved his hand and greeted the soldiers of the Qin army:

"Our soldiers and warriors of the Qin State, we know that you have been waiting for a long time, and you have endured for a long time, and now it is time for you to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions!"

The soldiers of the Qin State and the Qin army in the audience shouted:

"Kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions...... Kill the enemy and make meritorious ......! ”

After a burst of chanting, King Qin continued:

"Two years ago, the State of Chu invaded our State of Qin and occupied the land of our State of Qin, this shame, we Qin people can not forget, and now it is the best time to attack Chu, the time has come for our State of Qin to be ashamed!"

Obviously, King Qin's body was not as good as before at this time, so after he slowed down for a while, he continued to say impassionedly:

"Therefore, the widow officially issued an order to attack Chu here today, and I hope that all the soldiers will fight bravely to kill the enemy on the battlefield for the sake of their families, for themselves, and for the strength of the Qin State!"

Therefore, the 150,000 allied forces of the Qin State and the South Korea at Yiwang Mountain first attacked in the direction of Chu and Danyang, with the obvious intention of cutting off the connection between the Chu State and the land.

And the army of the Qin State in Lushi City also crossed the danger of Bear's Ears Mountain and began to attack the mall, only the Qin army in the Lantian camp has not moved.

The main general of the Chu army, Qu Qi, did not dare to rashly counterattack the Qin army because of the big difference between the strength of Qin and Han at this time, but adopted the strategy of taking advantage of the nearby mountainous terrain to block and hold on, and at the same time immediately sent someone to send a letter back to Yingdu to ask for help from the king of Chu.

After all, the main force of the Chu army is still besieging Xinzheng, but there has been no progress for more than a month.

After Zhaoyang arrived at the camp of the Maling Chu army, he first ordered someone to write a letter to the besieged King of Han in Xinzheng to persuade him to surrender, but the King of Han saw that the Qin and Wei armies had already come to help, and he also held the posture of not surrendering, and directly rejected Zhaoyang, and Zhaoyang had no choice but to go to Huayang to see the King of Wei in person.

In fact, Chu Chen came to see him to negotiate peace, which was also expected by Wei Si and several ministers, but Wei Si did not expect that it would be Chu Xiang Zhaoyang, because before, Wei Si had been waiting for Jing Cui, the chief general of the Chu army, to come in person.

After Zhaoyang came to the Wei camp tent, he first saluted Wei Si, and his expression was almost normal.

Seeing this, Wei Si asked:

"This king also heard that the Qin State has sent heavy troops to attack your Chu State Shangyu and Xicheng now, threatening Danyang, isn't it because Chu Xiang came here to intercede, discuss and withdraw troops?"

Zhaoyang replied:

"Back to the King of Wei, I Zhaoyang really want to come to negotiate peace, but what you said about the heavy army of the Qin State attacking our Chu State is indeed such a thing, but our Chu State is enough to deal with the Qin State in the business army!"

Wei Si smiled:

"It seems that Zhaogong, you are really so unfazed, the 400,000 army of the Qin State attacked your Chu State, and it was so understated in your eyes!"

Zhaoyang replied:

"It's not that I, Zhaoyang, are not surprised, but our Chu State is not worried about this matter at all!"

Wei Si also understood that this Zhaoyang was pretending to be more tough in front of him, and he just wanted to negotiate peace with himself that was more beneficial to the Chu State, but it was useless, because after all, this was a peace negotiation between Chu and Han, and his Wei State could only be a matchmaker.

Wei Si then said:

"Zhaogong, this king knows that you want the widow to come forward and let the king of Han make peace with your country, so let's say the conditions directly, after all, this king can only be a messenger!"

Zhaoyang replied:

"King Wei, without you sending troops to help Korea this time, I'm afraid that Xinzheng has now become the Zhengyi of our Chu State, why are you so humble? Okay, then I, Zhaoyang, will tell the conditions for our Chu State to withdraw from the army this time! ”

Wei Si stretched out his hand and gestured:

"Zhaogong, please speak!"

赵阳 says:

"If you want our Chu State to withdraw our troops this time, unless the King of Han can admit that the land north of Luyang to Rushui will be my Chu land in the future, our Chu State can leave and retreat, otherwise our Chu State will definitely turn the entire Han capital Xinzheng into a ruin!"

Wei Si smiled:

"It turns out that your country did everything to attack Han this time, not to destroy Han, but to fall in love with the land of Luyang in South Korea, I already knew that Chu had such a request, why not tell the king of Han directly about this matter, if the king of Han agreed, wouldn't it be spared the unwarranted disaster of Korea?"

Zhaoyang also understood that Wei Si was making fun of his Chu State, and also said with a smile:

"If King Han was really willing to give Lu Yang to our Chu State before, why would our Chu State be so laborious?"

Wei Si nodded:

"Okay, since your country just wants Luyang, South Korea, then the widow will order someone to meet King Han and talk about this matter, but you have to let our Wei envoy enter Zheng safely!"

Zhaoyang replied:

"Of course, the soldiers of our Chu State will definitely be able to guarantee the safety of your envoys!"

Wei Si and Chen Zhen, Meng Wan, and Su Dai, Ru Er and others who had just arrived in Huayang discussed going to Xinzheng as an envoy, but Meng Wan took the initiative to recommend himself to go, and Wei Si, who originally wanted to send Su Dai, had to agree to Meng Wan.

The next day, before dawn, Meng Wan made some preparations, and then drove to South Korea.

At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Meng Wan's car happened to pass through a place called Wuligang, and Meng Wan, who was in the car at this time, had been thinking in his heart how to make King Han agree to cede Lu Yang to make peace with Chu State, so as to facilitate the withdrawal of Chu State.

At this time, nearly a hundred Korean soldiers armed with bows and crossbows suddenly rushed down from the nearby hills, these soldiers were obviously half a point shorter than normal Korean soldiers, Meng Wan seemed to have noticed something wrong, so he shouted at these Korean crossbowmen who came with great momentum:

"Now that your South Korea is in the midst of a national crisis, what are you South Korean soldiers doing in this mountainous land if you don't protect your national capital, Xinzheng?"

I heard one of them shouting with a strange accent:

"Kill them, don't leave them alive!"

At this time, countless bows and arrows shot towards Meng Wan and the coachman, and the two people standing on the car naturally had nowhere to dodge at this moment, and they were all killed by ten thousand swords piercing their hearts.

Meng Wan, a generation of military heroes around Wei Si, has also been in this Wuligang since then, and lost his life in an instant.

After Wei Si received the news for the first time, he was also shocked, and let Meng Wan's bones be sent, and he couldn't help but leave tears in front of him.

Since Meng Wan was in the Great Liang Xue Palace, he was entrusted with the important task of presiding over the military affairs of the Wei State for himself, and it has been more than two years now, and he has long been regarded by Wei Si as his first military division of the Wei State.

Wei Si, who was very grief-stricken, immediately sent Sima You, who volunteered and was not afraid of life and death, to Xinzheng in South Korea to ask King Han for Meng Wan.

Sima was escorted by the heavy troops of Wei, and after arriving not far outside Xinzheng City, he was able to enter Xinzheng City safely after negotiating with the besieging Chu army.

At this time, Sima You saw that the entire Xinzheng City was not as precarious as the outside world thought, but even the elderly, women and children were vying to walk on the streets, carrying their belongings in their hands to help the soldiers defending the city to repair the part of the city wall that was damaged by the Chu army's siege.

Seeing this scene of unity, Sima You couldn't help but sigh with emotion:

"I didn't expect that it has only been 50 years since Xinzheng entered South Korea, and the people's loyalty to South Korea has already surpassed that of Zheng Guo back then."

Sima You, under the guidance of Korean officials, entered the palace and saw King Han in the main hall, who seemed to be weak and was waiting in the hall with a pair of crutches.

When King Han saw Sima You coming, he immediately refreshed himself, and said to Sima You in his very old and weak voice:

"The King of Wei sent you to definitely want you to question the widow, why did he send someone to kill your Wei envoy Meng Wan?"

Sima You replied:

"Yes? Please give me an explanation, King Han! ”

King Han smiled bitterly and said:

"Your King of Wei spared no effort to bring troops from Handan to support our South Korea, we in South Korea have only endless gratitude and unspeakable gratitude to you Wei and the King of Wei, and your envoy Mr. Meng Wan has no grudge against me in South Korea, and is here to help our benefactor in South Korea, how can we in South Korea personally kill the benefactor who wants to help us in the middle of the road?"

Sima You asked:

"But it's a fact that our General Meng Wan died under your Korean strong bow and crossbow, and there are hunters nearby who see that these people who killed our Lord Meng Wan are all wearing your Korean armor, how do you explain this, King Han?"

King Han replied:

"There are a lot of widowed Korean soldiers, and it is inevitable that some soldiers were captured by the Chu army and took refuge in the Chu army during this Chu invasion, and your envoy Meng Wan was killed five miles outside the city, in the Chu army's activity zone, and the widow believes that your wise King Wei will be able to find out the truth."

Sima You said:

"According to King Han, what you say, could it be that these people who assassinated our Lord Meng Wan were instructed by the Chu State?"

King Han nodded:

"It is very likely that this time the widow also heard about the matter of Chu Xiang going to see your King of Wei, Chu State is now in the west of the land of Shangyu, suffered from our Korean and Qin State of the Great Crusade, and is no longer able to resist, and its main force is now trapped in our Xinzheng, if Chu State does not withdraw its troops as soon as possible, after our soldiers and horses of Korea and Qin State in the land of Sanchuan occupy Shang Yu and Danyang, then Chu State Yingdu will be in danger, so Chu State designed to kill your Wei State important minister Meng Wan, must be trying to provoke the contradiction between our Han and Wei, In order to force our South Korea to accept the conditions of Chu State's withdrawal even more humiliatingly. ”

Sima You asked again:

"Since it was Xiang Chu himself who asked us to send an envoy to negotiate peace with you, King Han, and now King Han has told us about the State of Wei, saying that the State of Chu sent someone to assassinate our important minister of the State of Wei, Mr. Meng Wan, this seems to be a bit too much, so this matter is too strange, and I, Sima You, cannot make the decision on behalf of our king, I will report this matter to our queen for the time being, and then discuss!"
