Chapter 224: The Wei and Zhao coalition forces break Xinzheng
When Zhao sent troops to attack Han, Wei had already taken the first step, first sending troops to capture Yique and Xincheng, blocking the connection between Yiyang and Xinzheng in Korea, so that the king of Han could not return east in Qin.
At this time, Wei Si did not go to attack the Han capital Xinzheng and other places, but at the suggestion of Su Qin, he personally led 100,000 troops and besieged Yiyang, a military stronghold in Korea in the west.
There were still 50,000 defenders in Yiyang City at this time, and the defenders were also Han Huang, a veteran of a hundred battles.
Because the walls of Yiyang were too strong, the resistance of the Han soldiers defending the city was too stubborn, resulting in the Wei army attacking the city several times, but no progress was made, and the Zhao state in the east had already begun to attack Xinzheng.
Wei Si was also a little anxious at this time, so he asked Su Qin, Wei Ran, Le Yi, Sima You and others on the side.
"Everyone, you see that this Yiyang City is so strong, how can we attack it quickly?"
Le Yi said first.
"Monarch, in the past, it took nearly half a year for the Qin army to attack Yiyang, and now we have only been attacking for half a month, so you don't need to be in such a hurry!"
Su Qin said:
"General Le Yi, what the monarch is worried about is that now the Zhao army has attacked Xinzheng in the east, and the monarch is worried that if Zhao captures Xinzheng one step ahead of our Great Wei, then our Great Wei will lose the opportunity!"
Sima You looked at Su Qin with curious eyes.
"Su Xiang, why didn't our Great Wei directly attack Xinzheng, but instead came to attack places like Yique, Xincheng and Yiyang?
Su Qin explained.
"Generals, I didn't explain this matter to you before with the king, since you asked, then I'll tell you."
"The monarch and I actually guessed that the Zhao State would attack Xinzheng, and if we attack Xinzheng with the Zhao State, then Xinzheng City will definitely be breached, and our Great Wei doesn't want Xinzheng to be divided by the Zhao State, do you understand?"
Wei Ran nodded.
"I understand, Xinzheng is the fat on the chopping board of our Great Wei, of course it can't be divided for Zhao State, and the monarch and Xiangguo are worried that King Han will lead his troops to withdraw from Qin, so he first led us to capture Yique and Xincheng, and then take this Yiyang, completely cutting off the road to the east of King Han, so that we can easily take Yangzhai and Xinzheng."
Wei Si couldn't help but sigh at this time.
"Alas, the widow didn't expect that Zhao Jun would attack Xinzheng in South Korea so desperately this time, causing Xinzheng to be in danger, according to the news from the east, I'm afraid Xinzheng can't hold for half a month, and this Yiyang is more difficult to capture than Xinzheng, it seems that the widow is really a mistake!"
Su Qin asked:
"Monarch, didn't you let the queen rush back to Daliang? I believe that the queen and Lord Chen Zhen will definitely know how to decide. ”
Wei Si couldn't help but say.
"Yes, but the widow is still a little worried, I just don't know if Lian'er and Chen Qing can preside over the situation in the east!"
Wei repaired fish.
Zilian drove all the way from Anyi to the east, and after arriving at Xiuyu, he did not return to Daliang, but inquired about the situation in Xinzheng again, and after knowing that Handu Xinzheng was about to fall into the news, he left to personally review the soldiers and horses here, and at this time Chen Zhen also rushed over from Daliang.
Zilian discussed with Chen Zhen.
"Lord Chen Zhen, what do you think should be done with the current situation in Xinzheng, what should we do in Great Wei now?"
Chen Zhen looked at Xiuyu's tens of thousands of troops.
"Queen, don't you already have a countermeasure?"
Zi Lian said:
"But I'm not sure, and the monarch has instructed me to consult with you Lord Chen Zhen about everything!"
Chen Zhen was already gray-haired at this time:
"Alas, the minister is old, old, I didn't expect you to trust the minister so much from the monarch and queen, the minister will definitely die for my great Wei Zhen!"
"For today's plan, of course, we should take advantage of the fact that Xinzheng is not broken, and quickly send troops to Xinzheng, whether it is to carve up Xinzheng with Zhao State, or to take the opportunity to dissuade Zhao State from striking troops, this will be beneficial to my Wei State and will not do any harm!"
Zi Lian nodded.
"That's what I thought, too!"
"In that case, Lord Chen Zhen, you hurry up and lead the army with me is Xinzheng!"
Two days later, outside the east gate of Xinzheng.
The Wei army and the Zhao army are gathering here, the commander of the Zhao army is his minister Zhao Bao, and the commander of the Wei army is the queen Zilian wearing a suit of armor.
At this time, Zhao Bao was naturally a little dissatisfied, so he came over to ask Zilian.
"Why did your country come to Xinzheng at this time? Could it be that your country is here to celebrate the capture of the Han capital Xinzheng by our Zhao State? ”
Zi Lian asked back.
"Then may I ask if your country has captured Xinzheng now? Since Xinzheng City is broken, can't my Great Wei come to crusade? ”
Zhao Bao was angry and smiled coldly.
"Hmph, you Great Wei, can really find time, when the Korean army resisted more and more before, I didn't see your Wei army come to help my Zhao army attack the city, and now my Zhao army has experienced several battles, and the Korean army in the city is about to lose its armor and surrender out of the city, but your Wei army wants to come and reap the benefits of the fisherman, your abacus is really good?"
Zi Lian smiled lightly.
"Zhao Xiang, your words are too unpleasant, right? If it weren't for our Great Wei generosity to give way to your Zhao State, would your Zhao army have been able to come to this Xinzheng smoothly and crusade against Korea? Without our Great Wei cutting off the return route of the King of Han in the west, would you Zhao Guo be able to attack Xinzheng in South Korea so safely? ”
Zhao Bao smiled coldly.
"Really? Listening to your words, General, it seems that if I, the Zhao State, captured this Xinzheng, it would be all the credit of your country, right? ”
Chen Zhen saw that Queen Zilian couldn't say anything about this Zhao Leopard, so he walked over.
"Zhao Xiang, do you know who our general is?"
Zhao Bao immediately laughed.
"Yin and yang are weird, not male or female, isn't it a eunuch in your Wei Palace who has no roots?"
Chen Zhen immediately shouted at him:
"Bold, Zhao Bao, don't think that my dignified queen of Wei is something you can insult?"
At this time, the soldiers of the Wei State next to him pulled out their waist knives one after another and glared at Zhao Bao angrily.
Zhao Bao was startled for a moment, and pointed to the general in front of him, who was neither male nor female.
"You... You...... Are you the queen of Wei? ”
Zi Lian was naturally angry because of Zhao Bao's insulting remarks just now, so he was glaring at him angrily and ignored it.
Zhao Bao glanced at Chen Zhen, and then looked at the Wei soldiers around him who were drawing their swords, and immediately understood something, so he immediately knelt in front of Zilian.
"I, Zhao Bao, have no eyes, and I don't know that the queen of Wei is here, please forgive me Zhao Bao for your recklessness."
After all, this Zhao Leopard came to see the chief general of the Wei army, and his original intention was to see if he could persuade the Wei army to retreat, and at this time, his own Zhao State could never offend the Wei State, and when he knew that this person was actually the king of Wei, he could only kneel down and ask him for guilt.
Zi Lian wanted to scold this Zhao Bao, but thinking that after all, everything had to be taken into account in the overall situation, and it was not too necessary to care about these.
"Okay, Zhao Xiang, get up, after all, my Great Wei State and your Zhao State are now all South Korea, so let's stop talking about these useless things.
"Originally, I wanted to go to Zhao Xiangyou in person, but I didn't expect Zhao Xiang to come in person, in this case, let's discuss here together, how to break through the Korean Xinzheng!"
Zhao Bao hesitated.
"It's... This...... This! ”
Zi Lian continued:
"I know that your Zhao State attacked Xinzheng and suffered a lot of losses, but think about it, if you capture Xinzheng, the wealth in Xinzheng City is not a small amount!"
Zhao Bao asked:
"Could it be that your country will not even let go of Xinzheng's wealth? Then I'll tell you the truth with your queen, my Zhao State worked hard to attack this Xinzheng, mainly for the countless wealth in the city, after all, this land, my Zhao State took the most is an enclave that can't be defended, so even if you ask for land, it's useless! ”
Zi Lian asked.
"Then what do you mean by your country, you want to get all the wealth of Xinzheng?"
Zhao Bao replied:
"Yes, after the city is broken, the wealth will belong to my Zhao State, and the land will belong to your Wei State, I don't know how this will happen?"
Zilian remembered that her husband Wei Hei loved to collect ancient books, so she said:
"Okay, but you Zhao Guo can take anything away from Xinzheng, but those ancestral classics in the palace of Xinzheng, our monarch likes it much!"
Zhao Bao smiled.
"Isn't it just some useless waste bamboo slips? Okay, these belong to your Wei country, and they belong to your Wei country! ”
After everything was negotiated, the Wei army began to attack Xinzheng at the east gate, while the Zhao army made a detour to the south gate and began to attack Xinzheng in a big way.
The Xinzheng army, which was already unable to resist anymore, was even more vulnerable under the joint attack of the two countries, and finally began to give up resistance, and many Korean troops also personally opened the city gate for the Wei and Zhao troops to welcome everyone into the city.
After entering the city, the Wei and Zhao armies rushed in the direction of the palace.
For a time, the people in Xinzheng City were slaughtered by the Wei army and the Zhao army, and the famous Xinzheng, the capital of Zheng Han for hundreds of years, became a purgatory.
After the Wei army entered the palace, in accordance with the queen's order, they began to frantically move all kinds of classics and things hidden in the Korean palace.
It took a hundred carts to completely load the countless classics obtained from Korea, and then began to send these books to Daliang.
In the end, Zilian personally led the army to the south to attack, preparing to take South Korea's Yangzhai, Luyang and other southern lands in one go.
Wei Guoanyi.
Zhou Tianzi was also shocked when he heard the news that Xinzheng was broken.
"What? What the? Xinzheng was captured by Zhao so quickly? But after all, at this time, Zhou Tianzi was also under the roof, and he was helpless? ”
"This South Korea is really retribution... Retribution, it seems that one person is destined to serve Wei wholeheartedly in the future! ”
Wei Si was outside Yiyang City, and after receiving the good news from Xinzheng, he was also overjoyed.
"Haha... Haha, I knew that Lian'er would not live up to the widow's trust! ”
On the side, Su Qin smiled.
"King, you now know how powerful our queen is, it seems that we have another female general in Great Wei in the future!"
Wei Si sighed.
"Okay, since the Xinzheng War is over, let's discuss it wholeheartedly now, how to break this Yiyang City, right?"
