Chapter 54 The Korean Army Aids Hexi

Zhu Lijian stared straight at Zi Lian with both eyes:

"What's your name and where are you from in Wei?"

Zi Lian replied:

"My name is Zitong, I am from Yan Kingdom, not from Wei!"

He asked again:

"Then you are a Yan person, why do you want to serve the Wei State?"

Zi Lian said:

"I don't know, I don't like you Qin Kingdom!"

Zhu Li Ji withdrew the hand that was holding Zi Lian's chin:

"What is the reason why you hate our Qin State so much?"

Zi Lian smiled lightly:

"You Qin State bullied Wei State and occupied the territory of Wei State, I Zitong don't like it, I want to help Wei State deal with you Qin State, is it wrong?"

She laughed out loud:

"Haha...... Ha ha...... Interesting, it's the first time General Ben has met such an interesting person, don't you understand the truth of the law of the jungle? Just like when the Wei State was strong, how could we have been soft on the Qin State? ”

Zi Lian replied:

"I don't know what happened to you Qin Wei before, I only know that now it's you Qin State who have been bullying Wei State!"

He didn't want to argue with the person in front of him anymore, so he said to his subordinates:

"Take these two people back to Xianyang, let our king decide!"

Zi Lian and Tian Wen were wrapped in ox carts by the Qin army, transported out of Da Licheng, and headed west in the direction of Xianyang.

When the ox cart escorting Zi Lian and Tian Wen arrived at the Luoshui ferry, the escort generals led by the escort suddenly found that the pontoon bridge over Luoshui before was actually gone, and the Qin army guards here didn't know where to go.

The general of the Qin army looked at one of the leaders of the Wei army with some incredulity:

"You ...... You guys...... Why are you Wei troops here? ”

The leader of the Wei army laughed, and then pointed to the ox cart:

"What's in this car?"

The generals of the Qin army replied:

"This ...... This...... There was nothing in this car, just some finished grain and grass! ”

The leader of the Wei army directly ordered someone to go to the ox cart and pick up the weeds on the ox cart, revealing two people inside, naturally Zi Lian and Tian Wen wearing Wei army armor.

So the leader of the Wei army hurriedly ordered someone to save the two of them, and then arrested all the Qin troops who were escorted and took them away.

It turned out that these Wei troops were sent by Wei Si Zhai Zhang to explore the terrain here and monitor the movements of the Qin army by the way, but as a result, these people had just arrived here to solve the few Qin soldiers guarding this ferry, and then destroyed the pontoon bridge in the river and were about to leave, when they met more than a dozen Qin soldiers escorting Zilian here.

These Wei soldiers who came to inquire saw that there were so few Qin soldiers, and they were also driving ox carts, and there seemed to be some important treasures on the car, so the Wei army naturally would not let go of this opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so they ambushed here, ready to solve these Qin troops, robbed the treasures on the car and went back to ask for merit, and finally naturally did not expect that the car was actually their own people.

On the Eastern Front, on the battlefield of the Four Kingdoms against Qi, because the main force of Qi and the Yan army fought too late to return to defense, the troops of Zhao, Song, Wei and Wei were like broken bamboos, and they directly met under the Qi State.

After the Yan army heard that the troops of the four countries had come to the Qi State, they united with the Zhao army that rushed to fight back against the Qi army, and the Qi army suffered a crushing defeat in Gaotang and was killed by the Yan and Zhao coalition forces.

So Kuang Zhang had to pack up the remnants of the army, and then return to Linzi, the capital of the defense country.

And the Yan army finally arrived in Lixia and joined the armies of the four countries.

At this time, the five countries began to discuss together how to capture the capital of Qi Linzi, but the generals of the five countries had an estrangement because of how to divide the Qi country, and met 100,000 Chu soldiers led by Chu Xiang Zhaoyang to mediate the dispute, and finally the five countries had to sign a land cession agreement with the Qi state, and then withdrew their troops.

This time, the state of Chu became the biggest beneficiary, and this time the state of Chu not only obtained all the territory of the state of Ju south of the Great Wall of Qi from the state of Qi, but also took the opportunity to occupy the state of Yue.

Yan recovered the old land that was occupied by Qi before, Zhao got Lingqiu, a piece of land west of the Yellow River in Qi State, Wei Guo got some gold, jade, pearl and platinum because it was only a small country, Song State got the land of Sanqiu in Qi State, and Wei State got two cities in Maling and Pingyi.

After this battle, the State of Qi was also greatly damaged, and the King of Qi could only swallow his anger for the time being.

Wei Si also received the good news from the Wei army on the battlefield of Qi in the east within a few days in Hexi, and Wei Si at this time did not have to worry about both sides, and could preside over the battle to recover Hexi wholeheartedly.

Fortunately, the Qin army did not take the initiative to attack the Wei army stationed outside the city for nearly half a month, giving Wei Si the opportunity to order people to start transporting grain from Anyi and Hanoi to Hexi, and the 100,000 Han troops borrowed by Chen Zhen from Korea finally began to arrive at the Hexi battlefield under the leadership of Han General Gong Shuying.

After the Wei and Han armies were combined, the Qin State's increase in troops in Dalicheng at this time had reached nearly 400,000 people, and the battle of life and death between the two sides was about to come.

At this time, Wei Si summoned the main generals of the Wei and Han armies in the big tent and began to listen to the generals' countermeasures.

I only heard Xiangbang Gongsun Yan say first:

"Now that the Qin army has increased its troops again in Hexi, the strength of our troops is almost the same as that of Wei and Han here, and this place is very close to the Qin capital, and the supply of the Qin army is also convenient, but our supply will take half a month to arrive, so we must have a decisive battle with the Qin army earlier!"

Wei Si also says:

"Yes, although our army's grain and grass have been supplied several times, because of the drought in Hedong last year, it is only enough for the soldiers to eat for a month, and since the Qin army occupied Bashu, the grain and grass obtained from Bashu is probably enough for the needs of 400,000 Qin troops for half a year."

Zhai Zhang came out and said:

"Since the Qin army has so much grain and grass, why don't we rob it of its grain to replenish ourselves?"

Uncle Han smiled lightly at Zhai Zhang:

"General Zhai Zhang, you are too naΓ―ve, the grain and grass of the Qin army are all heavily escorted, if there is such a good plunder, our Korea will not be defeated by Qin repeatedly, and why is your Wei State, the land west of the river, so easy Qin for nearly twenty years and not recovered?"

Gongsun Xi then said:

"Since the Qin army's grain and grass can't be looted, can't we cut off their grain routes?"

Zhai Zhang sighed:

"I have already sent someone to investigate the Luoshui and the side wall section that the king said, although the terrain is blocked by Luoshui, but it is not conducive to large-scale ambush, I am afraid that the method of cutting off the grain and grass of the Qin army by you and General Gongsun will not work!"

Wei Si asked Zhai Zhang:

"Did the spies who came back have anything else to gain?"

Zhai Zhang replied:

"These spies did have a lot of gains, not only destroyed the pontoon bridge built by the Qin army on Luoshui, but also captured a Qin general and saved two dead soldiers who were captured by the Qin army in Dali City!"

Wei Si couldn't help but blame Zhai Zhang a little:

"This ...... Didn't the widow tell you to send someone not to startle the snake? Why did you destroy the Qin army's pontoon bridge like this? After that, I'm afraid it won't work for our Wei army to set up an ambush in Luoshui! ”

Zhai Zhang immediately knelt in front of Wei Si:

"The king, the minister also told the soldiers, but the soldiers are all people who are eager to make meritorious contributions, so the king has a plan, please forgive the king!"

Wei Si sighed at Zhai Zhang:

"Go and call them!"

After a while, Zhai Zhang called a group of soldiers who had been to Luoshui to explore the way before, knelt outside the tent, Wei Si came out and glanced at the group of people, and asked:

"Which of you is the sergeant?"

One of them knelt not far in front of Wei Si, and the soldiers, dressed somewhat differently from the other soldiers, moved a small step in front of Wei Si:

"The little ones who go back to the kings are their sergeants!"

Wei Si looked at the sergeant and asked:

"Why do you dare to make such an assertion to destroy the Qin army's pontoon bridge?"

When the sergeant saw King Wei like this, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and didn't dare to reply.

Wei Si repeated again:

"The widow is asking you, and you don't answer, do you?"

Zhai Zhang hurriedly walked over and reminded the sergeant in a whisper:

"The king asked you something, you quickly raised your head and answered!"

The sergeant raised his head slowly, and it was obvious that his face was full of sweat:

"Back to ...... Back to the king's words, this destruction of the Qin army's pontoon bridge is the idea of the young general, and the king will punish you...... Punishment, just punish the young general, I alone, please let these brothers go! ”

Wei Si also smiled helplessly in his heart, he originally wanted to punish these soldiers who were arrogant, but seeing that these soldiers seemed to have made mistakes, and the sergeant was willing to take all the responsibility himself, but this kind of disobedience to military orders naturally could not be indulged, so he pointed to the sergeant chief and said solemnly:

"This time, for the sake of your meritorious service, you have at least captured the general of the Qin State, and the widow will let you go for the time being, if anyone makes a claim next time, the widow will let General Zhai Zhang be punished by the army!"

After seeing that these soldiers began to thank him, Wei Si motioned for them all to get up, and then inquired about the status of the investigation, and at this time, someone also brought the captured General Qin.

After Wei Si looked at the general of the Qin State, he asked:

"What kind of title are you in the Qin Kingdom?"

This general of the Qin State was also a little frightened when he saw the King of Wei in front of him:

"Back to ...... Return...... Back to the King of Wei, I am Wei Ran, the commander of the Qin State! ”

Wei Si was stunned for a moment, and looked at the Qin State Commander with some puzzlement:

"Since you are the commander of the Qin State, why do you use my surname Wei? Are all of you who are taking prisoners in the Qin State at the level of a thousand commanders? ”

Seeing that King Wei was just questioning himself, the commander Wei Ran didn't seem to be motivated to kill, and his reply was not as nervous as before:

"King Wei, although I, Wei Ran, am in the Qin State, I am actually a Wei person, as for this escort of prisoners, it is because our Qin State has regulations that important prisoners must be personally escorted by the title of Thousand Commanders!"

Wei Si was very familiar with the name Wei Ran when he heard it, and suddenly remembered a person, this ...... This centurion Wei Ran won't be the Marquis Wei Ran who will surprise the Qin State in the future, right? But in my memory, aren't Wei Ran and his sister Mi Yue both Chu people?
