Chapter 15 Hui Shi's Will
Early in the morning of the second day, Wei Si convened a hundred officials in the palace hall and began to discuss urgently, Guanze was surrounded by Qi and the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin stalemate.
In fact, this is also the first time that Wei Si has held such a grand court meeting in this Warring States.
Wei Sichao first asked Zhang Xiao to take down the "Hangu Guan Song Newspaper" written by the Minister of State Gongsun Yan and the "Guanze Emergency Book" handed over by Pang Hao, the general of Guanze, and showed them to the generals and ministers one by one, and instantly rose up in the court.
After all, before Wei Si officially announced these two things, some courtiers and generals thought it was just a rumor.
Wei Si waited for these people to discuss for a while, and then said loudly:
"Everyone, be quiet...... Quietly! ”
After several attendants went down to inform them, the hall finally returned to quiet.
Wei Si first set his sights on Zhai Zhang, a national lieutenant general who had just recovered from being injured in the Battle of Wei Chu Xiangling:
"General Zhai Zhang, I don't know what you think of the current situation of our Wei State?"
Zhai Zhang replied:
"Guanze is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and our Wei army still has nearly 50,000 soldiers stationed there, haven't you already asked for help from Zhao State, your lord? If Zhao Bing arrives, with the strength of our two countries, we will definitely be able to retreat from the Qi and Song coalition forces! ”
Wei Si said again at this time:
"But Zhao Jun has already replied to the widow, General Zhai, take a look!"
Zhang Xiao also knowingly took the reply from Zhao Jun, who was urgently sent back in the middle of the night last night, to Zhai Zhang.
Zhai Zhang was stunned for a moment after reading this book, and replied to King Wei:
"Repay my king, this ...... This... Zhao Guo is too lion to open his mouth, right? ”
It turned out that Zhao Jun replied that Zhao sent troops to attack Qin had already caused the emptiness of Zhao State, and now if he wanted Zhao State to send troops again to help rescue the Guanze Wei army, then Wei State had to promise to send all the land north of Yedi, east of Zhongmu, and south of the Yellow River to Zhao State, and also promised to sever vassal relations with Wei State in the future.
After Wei Si returned to his dormitory last night, he naturally read this letter from Zhao Jun, so he happened to take it out for everyone to discuss today.
Doctor Chen also took Zhao Jun's book in Zhai Zhang's hand and glanced at it, then walked over and said to King Wei:
"Actually, I think Zhao Jun's request, we must agree to it now, otherwise when the time comes, I am afraid that the Qi soldiers and the Song soldiers will directly go to the southwest to come to our Daliang City, and then our entire Great Wei Kingdom will be in danger.
Wei Si looked at Shanyang Taishou Gongsun Xi again:
"I don't know what General Gongsun thinks?"
Gongsun Xi also glanced at Zhao Jun's reply, and replied angrily:
"Zhao Guo is obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob, why don't I go and gather all the people from Shanyang County to rescue Guanze now, right?"
Doctor Li Qi came out and said to Gongsun Xi:
"Didn't you strong men of Shanyang County have been conscripted to Hangu Pass a long time ago? And now there are still strong men? ”
Gongsun Xi immediately said again:
"Even if there are not enough strong men, there are still women and old people!"
At this time, everyone next to him laughed.
Gongsun Xi was a little angry and asked:
"Why are you laughing at me?"
Dr. Chen replied to Gongsun Xi:
"Gongsun Taishou, you said that it is not a joke to let women and old people go to war? Gongsun Taishou, you're still too young! ”
Wei Si glanced at everyone again, and found that there seemed to be an important person who did not come today, so he asked:
"Why haven't you seen Huigong come today?"
Dr. Chen hurriedly said:
"Back to my king, Hui Gong has contracted a serious illness, and now he is on the couch, it seems that time is running out!"
Wei Si was also shocked. When I saw Hui Shi a month ago, it wasn't like this, why is it so sick today?
Then he said:
"That widow is going to see Huigong in person now!"
When Dr. Chen and the others saw that Wei Si actually went directly outside the hall, they asked:
"Your Majesty, don't you discuss state affairs?"
Wei Si replied:
"You can discuss it here for yourselves, the widow has to visit Huigong now!"
After speaking, he walked out of the palace with Zhang Xiao and went directly to Hui Shi's residence.
At this time, Hui Shi was coughing, pale and weak, lying on the couch, and next to him sat a friend, that is, Meng Ke, who was lecturing on the streets of Daliang last night.
When Hui Shi heard that King Wei was coming, he quickly let Meng Ke help him to lean on the bed.
After Wei Si came in, he saw that Huizi hadn't seen him for a month, and he had become like this, so he was naturally sad, so he said hello to Meng Ke first:
"Mr. Meng Ke, we meet again!"
Meng Ke was also shocked when he saw King Wei, and then excitedly pointed at Wei Si and said:
"Yesterday's ...... That...... Then the people of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty turned out to be the King of Wei, you? ”
Wei Si nodded:
"Yes, it's a widow, the widow has concealed your identity from Mr. Meng Ke, I hope you can understand, Mr. Meng Ke!"
Meng Ke replied with a smile:
"I understand...... I understand! ”
At this time, someone happened to bring the decoction in to Hui Shi, so Wei Si took the decoction with his own hands, walked to Hui Shi's side, and said:
"Huigong, Hei'er is here to feed you the decoction!"
Hui Shi looked at Wei Si with a helpless and apologetic expression:
"My king, how can you do such a thing?"
After Wei Si sat in front of Hui Shi, he personally fed the decoction to Hui Shi's mouth:
"Huigong, the contributions you have made to our Great Wei in the past ten years are all in the eyes of the heirs, and there is no Huigong you, and there is no Wei heir today, so the heir should feed you decoction now!"
After speaking, he fed all the decoction into Hui Shi's mouth one by one, Wei Si didn't expect that he would become a licking dog at this time.
After Hui Shi drank the decoction, he lay down for a while, and then said:
"My king, I heard that the court is talking about the siege of Guanze and the defeat of the first battle of the Five Kingdoms against Qin, right?"
Wei Si nodded:
"Yes Huigong, your body is like this, don't worry about these tedious things, take care of your body, in the future, we will have to rely on Huigong you?"
Hui Shi couldn't help but sigh:
"Alas, the minister is old, and he can't do it anymore, I don't know if my king can still listen to me at this time?"
Wei Si nodded again:
"Okay, Huigong, you say, the heir will definitely do it!"
Hui Shi said:
"The act of cutting down Qin, when it can be stopped, when it retreats, it must be preserved, otherwise it will endanger my Great Wei country, even if you lose some territory, lose some relatives and friends, you can find an opportunity to recover it in the future, no need to worry too much, I will say it all here, I hope that my king can take on the heavy responsibility of reviving my Great Wei in the future.
Half a year later, in the year 317 A.D.
Under the order of Wei Si, Gongsun Yan led the Wei army to discuss with Han Zhao, and then evacuated Hangu Pass first.
Chu and Yan saw that after a few more battles between Sanjin and Qin, they were never able to win, so naturally they had already returned to their respective places.
In the Battle of Guanze, Wei Si agreed to Zhao Jun's request, and Zhao's soldiers and horses also supported Guanze, and Wei Si also went to Guanze in person.
After a big battle between the Wei and Zhao armies and the Qi and Song armies, although the Qi and Song coalition forces won by luck and the Wei and Zhao armies also lost nearly 10,000 people, the Wei and Zhao armies were demoralized because of the presence of the King of Wei.
Seeing that there was no benefit to be gained, and there was a shortage of food and grass on the front line, Qi Wangtian hurriedly ordered the Qi troops to retreat, and the Song army naturally did not dare to fight the Zhao and Wei coalition forces alone, so they also retreated.
And at this time, a generation of famous ministers and Hui Shi finally came to the end of their lives.
