Chapter 174: The King of Chu Raised Women and Children's Soldiers, and Wei Hei Aided Qin
A few days later, an old man's corpse appeared in Linzi City, and after the officials confirmed, it was actually Zhaoyu, the former minister of Chu State, so the matter was soon reported back to Chu State.
At this time, it was less than two days before the half-moon attack on Chu that Wei was threatening, and the battle of Chu besieging Xianyang encountered the stubborn resistance of Qin, and the Chu army could not break through Xianyang for a long time, and there were tens of thousands of casualties.
The King of Chu was anxious, and he also summoned Zhaoyang, Zhaosui, Jin Shang and others to urgently discuss.
I only heard Zhao Sui say first:
"Now I am afraid that it is impossible to break through Xianyang, and the Qi State is now attacking the land of Huaisi in my Chu State, and has also killed Lord Zhaoyu, the head of the Zhao clan of my Chu State, if this news reaches Xianyang and let our Zhao disciples know about it, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Jin Shang also said:
"Yes, this time the army of Qin, the children of the Zhao family accounted for most of it, and now the Qin capital Xianyang has not been able to break through, and the king of Qin has no intention of compromising at all, now the state of Qi is attacking the east, and the king of Wei is threatening to attack us, king, it is better for us to withdraw the army from the state of Qin!"
Zhao Sui said:
"This time the Wei State wants to attack my Chu, I'm afraid it's not that it's not dissatisfied with the policy of dividing Qin, I'm afraid it's because I've already weep my Chu Zhi Chen and Cai, but it's just an excuse, but I didn't expect our prince and Zuo disciples to go to Daliang, alas, ......!"
The king of Chu said angrily:
"It's time now, what's the use of you saying this, hurry up and think of a way, think of a way!"
Then I looked at Zhaoyang:
"Zhaogong, don't be silent there, hurry up and think of a way for the widow!"
Zhaoyang then said:
"There are still two ways to do this, but I'm afraid you won't agree!"
The king of Chu was very anxious:
"Let's talk first!"
赵阳 says:
"The first way is to promise the King of Wei, send the land of Chen and Cai to Wei, and then return Luyang to South Korea, and work together with Wei and Han to destroy Qin, and after receiving the prince and Zuotu from Wei, endure the humiliation, send the prince to Qi again, and dedicate all the Huaisi land of Qi to Qi, and wait until the Qin State is destroyed, and then we will slowly find a way to find Qi and Wei to take revenge."
The King of Chu smiled bitterly:
"Huh...... Hehe! Let's talk about the second one! ”
Zhaoyang continued:
"The second is to immediately withdraw the army from Qin, make peace with Qin, and then cede Chen and Cai to Wei, and return Luyang to Korea, so that the prince will continue to be hostage in Daliang, and then attack Qi with Wei and Han to avenge the revenge of Changzhaoyu, the head of the Chu Zhao clan, keep the land of Huaisi, and then make up for the loss of returning to the land of Chen and Cai from the State of Qi!"
The king of Chu said angrily:
"The land of Chen and Cai was obtained by the ancestors and soldiers of my Chu State in exchange for blood donations, how can there be any reason to cede it to the Wei State? And the land of Huaisi, the widow must not be lost, the widow wants to conquer Huaisi in person, to resist the Qi country that deceived me too much! ”
So the king of Chu did not listen to Zhaoyang's words, and ordered Jingcui to continue to attack the Qin capital Xianyang, and personally gathered the people of Zhuangding in Yingdu, but the result was really unable to get people, even women and children under the age of ten were forced to put on armor, gathered nearly 80,000 people, and led these people to rush to the Huaisi battlefield with Qi.
Chen Zhen, who was preparing to attack Chu in Daliang, heard the news, and hurriedly discussed with Queen Zilian and the ministers of the court, and immediately gathered 150,000 troops, and after notifying Korea, he began to attack Chu in the south.
At the same time, the king of Han also had his uncle as the main general, leading 70,000 Han soldiers to the south to attack the state of Chu.
Wei Hei, who was in Anyi, waited until the 50,000 reinforcements of the Qin army of the Zhao State arrived, and then took his sister Queen Qin and his nephew Prince Qin Yingdang to the aid of the Qin capital Xianyang with these Zhao reinforcements.
After arriving near Xianyang, the capital of Qin, the Wei and Zhao coalition forces and the Qin troops in Liyang united to launch a round of offensive against the garrison of the Chu army in Jingyang, because the three kingdom armies were not properly dispatched, and the Wei and Zhao armies were tired, so that the Chu army achieved a small victory, and after the three kingdoms lost thousands of people, they had to withdraw their troops under the order of Wei Si.
In the evening, Wei Si met with Wei Zhang, the commander of the Qin army to aid Xianyang, and Zhao Ping, the commander of the Zhao army, in the camp, and discussed with the two of them about rescuing Xianyang.
I only heard Wei Si say:
"Our Three Kingdoms Alliance Army originally wanted to retreat the Chu soldiers in Jingyang first with superior forces this time, in order to relieve the threat of the Chu State to the north of Xianyang, but I didn't expect that our 200,000 troops fought with less than 130,000 Chu troops in Jingyang, and actually suffered defeat, which simply affected morale too much!"
Wei Zhang says:
"Yes, judging from the situation of the battle we just had with the Chu army, this Chu army stationed in Jingyang is definitely the most elite army of the Chu State now, instead of fighting with them here, why don't we cross Weishui and attack Lantian in the south to cut off the back road of the Chu army, right?"
Zhao Ping immediately objected:
"This strategy can't be done, now Lantian is the camp of the Chu army Jingcui, its precautions can not be said to be strict, although we have a lot of troops, but after all, the orders are different, that is, it is possible to be frustrated again today, in this way, in this way, we will be defeated by the Chu army."
Wei Zhang said again:
"The reason why we can't defeat the Chu army is nothing more than that the orders are different, so let's just divide our troops to fight with the Chu army, our Qin army will attack Jingyang, and you Chu and Zhao will attack Lantian, won't it?"
Gongsun Xi, who was beside Wei Si, immediately said:
"This is not good, if our three kingdoms divide their troops to attack Chu again, then won't Chu be able to join forces and annihilate the soldiers and horses of one country? That's too risky! ”
Zhao Ping also said:
"Yes, we must not divide our troops to fight against Chu, otherwise it will be too dangerous, and we will lose the advantage of strength over the Chu army!"
Wei Si saw that several people couldn't argue, so he walked out first to breathe and calm down.
After a while, Wei Si walked to the edge of the depressed water alone, and couldn't help but say to himself:
"Is it right or wrong for the widow to come to Qin's aid this time? With the current interests of the Wei State, of course, I hope that Qin Chu will fight you to the death, but I, Great Wei, can't sit back and watch the Chu State destroy the Qin State? But now what I want most is Chu Zhichen and Cai, I hope Lian'er and Chen Zhen will have good news sooner! ”
Suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from behind, Wei Si turned around and saw that it was Su Qin coming.
After Su Qin came over, he said to Wei Si:
"King, are you here again worried about my Great Wei?"
Wei Si smiled at Su Qin:
"Yes, who do you think the widow thinks, it turns out that you are Jizi!"
Su Qin replied:
"Who else can I have but Jizi? Almost all of us Wei troops are guarding this area, how can outsiders get close to you, the king? ”
Wei Si said:
"Yes!"
Then asked Su Qin:
"Jizi, are you okay?"
Su Qin replied:
"The king, you have traveled thousands of miles to bring troops to this Qin country to help, and I am the only one who can speak around you, the king, you are worried now, of course Ji Zi and I should come to help the king solve your worries!"
Wei Si smiled:
"Okay, then do you know what the widow is worried about?"
Su Qin replied:
"King, your worries are just hesitating whether you should go all out to rescue Xianyang, and you still want to wait for the compromise of the Chu State with our Wei State, so you are indeed in a dilemma now!"
Wei Si asked:
"Where did you see that the widow didn't plan to go all out to rescue Xianyang?"
Su Qin replied:
"Our Wei army sent 150,000 troops this time, but you were afraid that the Chu division would advance eastward, and left 60,000 troops in Hangu Pass as a defense, and now the 90,000 troops in Liyang, in fact, according to the suggestion of the Qin general Wei Zhang just now, our Wei and Zhao armies went to attack Lantian, contain the Chu army, and let the Qin army attack Jingyang alone, which is definitely a good strategy to save Xianyang, but it was opposed by General Gongsun Xi and Zhao Ping. In fact, the king, you want to continue to drag on, that's the way, isn't it? ”
魏嗣 says:
"Yes, I didn't expect you to know so much about widows, Jizi!"
Su Qin said again:
"You are procrastinating, first, you want to wait for the news of compromise from the Chu State, or you hope that the queen and Mr. Chen Zhen can lead the Wei army to win the victory against the Chu State together with the Korean army in the east, and then decide whether to save Xianyang, the king, right?"
Wei Si nodded:
"Yes, now the widow does want to delay, but looking at the situation, it seems that the State of Chu is going to carry out a desperate blow to Xianyang of the State of Qin, I heard the news before, the Chu army is now urgently moving around Xianyang, it seems that the King of Chu must be in a hurry!"
Su Qin then said:
"King, this is hard to say, why don't you let Ji Zi go and meet Chu Jiang Jingcui in private now?"
Wei Si hurriedly said:
"This is absolutely impossible, if you go to see Jingcui now, how dangerous will it be? The widow doesn't want to lose Ji Zi you! ”
Su Qin replied:
"King, Ji Zi has a big life, your direction is, with my Ji Zi's talent, then Jing Cui will not kill me, besides, the prince of Chu State and Zuo Tu are still in our Liang? Isn't that what you say, my lord? ”
Wei Si was still a little worried about Su Qin:
"Then Jizi, you should be careful, you must not be reckless, and this matter must not be seen by the people of Qin and Zhao!"
Su Qin nodded:
"Of course, Ji Zi knows!"
After Su Qin crossed Weishui by boat, he saw that the Chu army was searching for the people of the nearby Qin State as slaves at this time, so he also found a tattered clothes, pretended to be the people of Yiqin, and was taken away by the Chu army.
At ten o'clock after dark, Su Qin bribed the guards of the Chu army generals with coins, and then after learning where the Chu army's chief Sima Jingcui was, he sneaked outside the Jingcui camp tent, secretly looked inside, and found that Jingcui was lying on the couch at this time, holding the two Qin women in his arms and teasing.
Su Qin sneaked into the camp tent, and then carefully sat next to Jing Cui, at this time, a Qin woman in Jing Cui's arms found Su Qin beside her, and was about to shout, but Su Qin gave a 'shhh
Su Qin hurriedly gestured to it:
"I'm here to save you!"
This Qin woman also seemed to understand what Su Qin meant, so she cooperated with Jing Cui more with another Qin woman, so that she would not notice the strange man beside her.
