Chapter 220 Zhuang Ji Meets King Han to Win Zhuang Luck
Wei Si took Zhou Tianzi, who had nowhere to go, to his western capital Anyi and lived in it temporarily.
In Wei Si's own dormitory in Anyi, Wei Si withdrew all the idle people and others, and together with Wei Ran, Le Yi, Sima You, and Bai Qi, they reviewed what had happened in the East and West Zhou before.
I only heard Wei Si praise Wei Ran:
"Wei Ran, it's really you, you can actually get the dignified Western Zhou Gongwan in the palm of your hand, tell us what's going on, right?
Wei Ran recounted.
It turned out that Wei Ran had long known that the Duke of Western Zhou was timid, suspicious, greedy, and even more happy, so he managed to persuade the Duke of Western Zhou to defend the city.
Wei Ran also expected that after the Duke of the Western Zhou Dynasty went to the front, he would definitely be able to repel the Eastern Zhou army (not to mention that there was his own person Sima You on the other side), so he began to encourage him to go to the front line to command, provoke him to be angry, and imprisoned himself, so as not to have the opportunity to stay in Chengzhou City and set fire.
And Sima You was much simpler, directly let the Eastern Zhou army fight with the Western Zhou army, and he took the opportunity to burn down the royal city.
Sima You and Wei Ran both successfully completed the task given to them by Wei Si, both burning down Zhou Tianzi's residence Wangcheng and Cheng Zhou in the name of Eastern Zhou and Western Zhou, so that Zhou Tianzi finally had nowhere to stay, so he had to defect to Wei, completing Wei Si's strategy of coercing the Son of Heaven, and at the same time greatly damaged the vitality of the armies of the Eastern and Western Zhou countries, so that Wei State effortlessly cleaned up the mess and occupied the entire Zhou Wangji.
Wei Si and the four of them were also very happy, so they began to drink and talk freely in their dormitory for a whole night.
Lantian of Qin.
Although the South Korean army had already attacked the blue land of Qin at this time, because the Korean army and the Qin army won a big battle at the foot of Lishan more than a month ago, although they defeated the Qin army, they were greatly injured, and the grain and grass were also burned by the Qin army.
So the current Han army is actually close to running out of food, and King Han is forced to start raising food everywhere.
King Han's first thought was naturally to levy grain for two weeks, but when the news came that Wei was ordered by the Son of Heaven to level for two weeks and swallow up its land, King Han was shocked, after all, he had been under the control of his own Korea for the past two weeks, and he didn't expect that when he cut down Qin, he was actually found by Wei to take advantage of it.
At this time, King Han could only hurriedly summon the three of the main generals of Qin, Uncle Ying, the deputy general Han Xu, and the violent kite to his account to discuss.
"Three generals, you see, Wei has been dead for two weeks, with the Son of Heaven, and although my Korea has now won a lot of victories in Qin, there is nowhere to collect grain and grass, and the situation in the rear is unpredictable, what should I do now?"
Storm Kite first said:
"King, now it is the most important time to cut down Qin, although a lot of our Korean grain and grass have been burned by the Qin State, but the ten-day grain is still enough, why don't we use these ten days to fight directly with the Qin State, right? As long as we defeat the Qin army, go all the way to the west, and take Xianyang and Yongcheng, then our food can be replenished, and we don't have to worry too much about what will happen to the Wei State in the rear. ”
Han Xu took the words of the storm kite.
"What the king is most worried about now is that the Wei State has now occupied the land for two weeks, which is equivalent to cutting off the connection between us and Xinzheng and even Yiyang, and cutting off our back road, even if we defeat the Qin State and occupy Xianyang and Yongcheng, then we will not be able to go back to Xinzheng!"
"And now that I am in a hurry to attack the Qin State, the odds of victory are too low, and it is easy to be attacked by the Dao of the Disease, so I'm afraid it won't work!"
Uncle Ying said:
"Two generals, you are really too worried, I have also heard about the matter of Wei destroying two weeks, this is all caused by his own death in two weeks, and Wei and my South Korea are each other's lips and teeth, even if Wei is extremely strong now, but it will not suddenly attack my South Korea now, causing it to lose its trust in the world?"
Han Xu snorted coldly.
"Does the current Wei State still care about the word Xinyi? Taking advantage of the large-scale invasion of Qin in Korea, I led the troops to occupy the entire Zhou Wangji, such a despicable and shameless act, I am afraid that the princes of the world will rise up and attack it. ”
Uncle Baby's expression was a little helpless.
"Then what's the solution, after all, I've heard, this is an order personally issued by Zhou Tianzi, now that Wei has controlled Zhou Tianzi, it is equivalent to controlling the justice between the world, Qi, Chu, Zhao and other countries have just experienced a war for several years, and their vitality is greatly damaged, even if they have the heart, I am afraid they will not be able to crusade against Wei again."
King Han said at this time:
"Then since the Wei State is now so unstoppable, then there is no need for us to fight with the Qin State, or we should make peace with the Qin State and withdraw the army back to Xinzheng to seek countermeasures, right?"
Uncle Gong, Han Xu, and Storm Kite all showed their objections, after all, the three of them all understood that if they withdrew their troops at this time, then the Qin State would definitely fight back against the Korean army as always, and the final result was unimaginable.
So at this time, South Korea was already in a dilemma, quickly attacking Qin, the odds of victory were not great, and I was afraid that the peace and withdrawal of troops would be met by the Qin State Road again, and suddenly the king of Han and the three generals were anxious to wander in the big tent.
Just at this time, a guard suddenly came to report:
"There is a general of the State of Chu outside, asking to meet you, the king!"
Han Wang was stunned.
"What? General of Chu? What is the matter with the widow when it comes? ”
"Let him in, come in!"
After a while, a young general entered the tent.
"In Xia Chu, General Zhuang Ji, on the order of my king, I have come to see His Majesty King Han, and I wish His Majesty King Han an early breakthrough of Xianyang and Yongcheng and capture Qin Jun!"
Uncle Gong said at this time:
"General Chu Zhuang Yu, when you came to see my king at this time, you must not have sent me a congratulatory message for the king of Chu, right? If you King Chu have anything, just say it directly! ”
After Zhuang Ji got up, he smiled at his uncle and baby.
"This must be your country's uncle and infant general, Zhuang Ji, I have long admired your prestige, General, I didn't expect you to be so bold!"
"Okay, then I won't have much to say, and explain my intentions directly to the king and several generals!"
The storm kite snorted coldly at Zhuang Ji.
"Hurry up, stop talking nonsense!"
Zhuang Yu spoke.
It turned out that after the State of Chu withdrew its troops from the State of Zhao, he wanted to recuperate, but the ambition of King Wujiang of Nai Yue swelled at this time, and he began to send troops to attack the Juchao, Zhongli, Shouchun and other places of the State of Chu.
The state of Chu sent troops to fight back, but several battles were defeated, all of which were defeated by Wujiang, which made the king of Chu furious, and investigated the reason, it turned out that the weapons lagged behind the Yue country, so he wanted to buy another batch of weapons from South Korea to attack the Yue country.
After hearing this, King Han instantly became interested:
"It turned out to be a weapon, we have it in Korea, but do you have grain and grass in Chu State?"
Zhuang Ji replied:
"Of course there is, the land of Yunmeng in our Chu country has been a bumper harvest in the past two years, as long as King Han is willing to sell weapons to our Chu country, there is no problem with grain and grass!"
King Han was overjoyed at this time:
"Well... Good...... Then you Chu State hurry up and transport the grain and grass to the widow first, and then you can go directly to Yang Zhai to get the weapons! ”
Zhuang Ji had already heard that King Han was now worried about the grain and grass, so he deliberately did what he liked, saying that Chu would have a bumper harvest, so that King Han would agree to sell weapons to Chu.
In fact, Zhuang Ji knew in his heart that he didn't have so much grain in Chu State, but Zhuang Yu already had a way to deal with it, because Zhuang Yi heard that a batch of grain in Bashu was now about to be transported to Qin through Hanzhong, and he had already brought 30,000 Chu troops to quietly set up an ambush on the way that the Qin army must pass, waiting for the Qin army to pass by, and snatched the grain and transported it to South Korea in exchange for weapons.
After Zhuang Ji negotiated the terms with King Han and several Han generals, he left King Han's camp near Lantian and went to Hanzhong County, where the Qin army was ambushing the grain route from Bashu.
Hanzhong County is very close to the Shangyong of Wu County of Chu State, and Zhuang Ji is the general of Chu State responsible for guarding Wu County.
Because the south of Hanzhong County was full of lofty mountains and sparsely populated, Zhuang Ji's army of 30,000 went all the way along the south bank of the Han River to the vicinity of Nanzheng, and the Qin army did not notice it at all.
At this time, the grain transport troops of the Qin army passed through the Xiameng Pass in Tho and were almost in the vicinity of Hanshui.
The general in charge of transporting grain is Zuo Shu Chang Yingzhuang, and he is also the younger brother of the current King of Qin, otherwise the King of Qin would not have appointed him to such an important position.
At this time, Ying Zhuang walked to the front of the grain transportation team with sweat on his head, stopped and looked at a mountain not far away, and asked the entourage next to him:
"After bypassing that mountain, shouldn't you go to Hanshui?"
The retinue replied:
"Yes, after that hill is Hanshui, and on the opposite side is Nanzheng City, and the road will be smooth when you get there, and it will be much easier to walk."
Ying Zhuang wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead again and couldn't help sighing.
"Alas, this Shu road is really difficult to walk, the chief of this Shu from a year ago, followed the grain truck from Ba County, walked here, I didn't expect it to take so long, I don't know if my brother Yingdang is now the monarch, does he still regard me as the closest brother as before?"
The attendant smiled and said:
"General, you think too much, when the old King Qin was in power, you were the son, and now the new king has succeeded to the throne, and you are the dearest brother of the new king, I believe that after you return to Xianyang, the king will definitely take you more seriously!"
At this time, another attendant next to him said:
"If it weren't for our son-in-law who invited himself to Bashu to transport grain, maybe it would be our son-in-law who is now the monarch in Xianyang!"
When Ying Zhuang heard the words of his entourage, he immediately became angry.
"Bold, you minion, who made you sensationalized in this rumor? What is the difference between my brother being a king and me being a king? ”
The attendant was so frightened that he quickly knelt down, but he still muttered.
"I'm right, when it comes to governing the country, are you losing to your brother? You have been in Bashu for less than a year, and you have directly governed Bashu into the richest place in the world, and your brother heard that he only wanted to move the capital, which led to the opposition of the old Qin people in Yongcheng, Fengxiang and other places, and now the entire Qin State is in chaos! ”
"Externally, your brother was reluctant to withdraw his troops from the quagmire of Zhao State, resulting in the annihilation of my Qin State's 80,000 troops in Cuihan Road by South Korea, and now I heard that the Korean army has reached Lantian, I am afraid that Xianyang and Yongcheng will be difficult to hold, if you succeed to the throne as the king of Qin, will Qin be in such a critical situation now?"
