Chapter 9: Qin's Provocation
Yan Chan was comforted by Wei Si several times, and finally had the courage to talk about Wei:
"Wei State, because your ancestor King Hui was in power, he was defeated by Qin several times, lost the land of Hexi and Shangjun, and even the surroundings of Quwo and Anyi in Hedong were trampled by the Qin army several times, and the purpose of your Wei State to attack Qin this time is nothing more than to recapture the hometown of Wei that was swallowed up by Qin in the past!"
Wei Si smiled lightly after listening:
"What if this is not the purpose of the widow?"
Yan Chan was also stunned:
"King Wei, your purpose is not here, why don't you want to destroy Qin?"
Wei Si didn't answer, and changed the topic:
"Chan'er, you can analyze Zhao and Han first, as for the purpose of our Wei State, I can't tell you for the time being!"
Yan Chan nodded:
"Obey, King Wei!"
Then he analyzed Zhao and Han:
"Zhao Guo, this time to attack Qin is nothing more than to mix up some benefits with other countries, because it has no interest entanglement with Qin for the time being, and South Korea is different, if Qin advances eastward, now the most affected by it is no longer your original Wei State, but has become South Korea, so South Korea naturally wants to weaken Qin again, and wants to recapture the land of Sanchuan that has been occupied by Qin in recent years!"
Wei Si gave Yan Chan a thumbs up with appreciation, after all, in the era of the Warring States Period, it was a miracle that a woman could see so much.
Yan Chan also smiled lightly at King Wei at this time:
"King Wei, it's so late, why don't you serve the little girl and rest early?"
King Wei shook his head:
"But the widow still wants to hear Chan'er, you analyze and analyze what the current Qi State and Qin State will do next!"
Yan Chan rubbed her eyes with both hands:
"King Wei, but Chan'er can't close her eyes anymore!"
Wei Si saw that Yan Chan was actually sitting and falling asleep like this, and couldn't help but say:
"This girl is so funny!"
He helped her over and let her lie on the inside of the couch, covered her with her quilt, and found a cotton coat on the outside to cover it, and closed her eyes and fell asleep.
On the second day, as soon as Wei Sigang opened his eyes, he found that the quilt he had covered for Chan'er last night had already covered him, and there was a faint afterfragrance on the quilt, and he couldn't help but smell the aftertaste on the quilt and be intoxicated.
At this time, I heard a soft knock on the door outside:
"King Wei...... Wei Wang ...... Did you wake up? Chan'er brought you hot water to wash! ”
Wei Si hurriedly glanced at the side at this time, and after confirming that Yan Chan was knocking on the door outside, he replied:
"Chan'er, come in!"
Yan Chan walked in with a basin of water, followed by Zhang Xiao who was holding a face towel.
After Yan Chan brought the basin to Zhang Xiao, she began to wrap the face towel in her hands and came over to wipe Wei Si's face.
The current Wei Si, after being sensible, is actually the first time that a woman has wiped his face for himself like this, and he can't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he happened to find that Zhang Xiao, who was holding a basin next to him, seemed to be snickering, so he said to Zhang Xiao very seriously:
"Big nose, what are you laughing at? Is the widow that funny? ”
Zhang Xiao hurriedly replied to King Wei:
"My king, the big nose is out of shape, out of shape!"
Wei Si pointed at Zhang Xiao:
"Then I hope that next time I don't let the widow see you like this again!"
Because today is the day when King Wei and King Han meet for the last time and make a new alliance between the two countries, after Wei Si freshened up and went out, he and King Han agreed on the alliance together in the palace of Michi.
The content of this covenant is naturally the clause that the two countries will become close countries forever in the future, helping each other, and so on, after all, the establishment of such a covenant is basically a common thing in this era.
After the covenant was completed, the king of Han returned to Xinzheng, the capital of Han, and Wei Si also took his personal guards and entourage to Hangu Pass to supervise the military war.
On this day, it has been three full days since the Qin general's war letter was issued, but Gongsun Yan, the chief general who wore the seal of the five countries and presided over the invasion of Qin, did not respond to the Qin army's war letter.
Because Gongsun Yan had already received the news that the Wei King Wei was going to come to Hangu Pass in person, he was also waiting for the arrival of the Wei King to make a final decision.
At this time, outside Hangu Pass, in the camp of Hezong Kingdom, there were still three people sitting together in the camp, drinking stuffy wine.
And here you can also faintly hear the shouts and ridicule of the Qin army in the direction of Hangu Pass:
"Sick chicken...... Cowardly Duck ...... Skinny goose, are you scared like this? ”
"I didn't even dare to respond to our general's war letter, so let's flee back to our own homes like three rats earlier!"
"If you Sanjin don't dare to fight with our Qin army to the death, then hurry home and go home, your wives and children are still waiting for you!"
Such days have lasted for two days, and the three of them naturally understand in their hearts that this must be a trick made by the commander of the Qin army.
I only heard Shen Cha finally couldn't help it, and said with some complaints:
"Instead of waiting here in aggrieved places, it is better to directly respond to the challenge of Na Liji, and now go to pull out that Hangu Pass, after all, our Han, Zhao, and Wei three kingdoms are now in this Hangu Pass, and the strength of the troops in this Hangu Pass is not inferior to the defenders of Qin Hangu Pass!"
Gongsun Yan appeased Shen Cha:
"General Shencha, don't be anxious, bear with it any longer, our King Wei has already said that it will definitely come today, and all our matters will wait for the arrival of King Wei, and see the decision of our King Wei?"
Shen Cha stood up directly and smashed the wine glass in his hand to the ground:
"Listen to everything from your King of Wei, King of Wei, Gongsun Xiangguo, have you forgotten that the captain of the Qin column this time is the King of Chu?"
Gongsun Yan said helplessly:
"Although the king of Chu is the captain of the column, since the last time he celebrated himself as the captain of the column, he sent heavy troops to garrison the Wuguan adjacent to Qin, and there has been no move to attack Qin, and recently only Chu Xiang Zhaoyang said that the Chu State would send troops, but now that none of the Chu soldiers have come, do we still have to obey the king of Chu?"
Zhao Bao also said at this time:
"Mr. Gongsun is right, although the king of Chu is in name of the chief of the army this time, he doesn't seem to be so active in attacking Qin, so let's stop counting on the state of Chu."
Shen Cha then said:
"But our King Han has sent a letter last night, telling me that whether our Korea will prosper in the future or not, we will fight here, do you think I am not in a hurry?"
As soon as Gongsun Yan heard that King Han had a letter coming, he hurriedly asked:
"What about the grain and grass, does King Han have a letter?"
Zhao Bao replied:
"I don't know about this, King Han only said in the letter that this time the Five Kingdoms cut down Qin's grain and grass, and Qi Xiangtian Ying has promised to send someone to send it over as soon as possible!"
赵豹 says:
"It seems that this time the Qi State finally agreed to provide grain and grass, but I don't know when it will arrive, and the grain and grass we brought in Sanjin this time is only enough for a month, it just so happens that this year is another drought year, I just hope this battle can end soon!"
Gongsun Yan glanced at Zhao Bao:
"I don't know when Yang Wenjun, when the other 30,000 soldiers and horses that you promised to send from Zhao Guo before will arrive?"
Zhao Bao replied:
"Those 30,000 soldiers and horses should be collected in Jinyang and other places now, if nothing else, they should be able to arrive within three days!"
Gongsun Yan Yixi:
"That's good, that's good, as long as the 30,000 soldiers and horses of your Zhao State arrive, the total number of soldiers and horses in this Hangu Pass of our Sanjin can be not inferior to Qin!"
Zhao Bao nodded, and said with some guilt:
"At the beginning, we Zhao Guo actually didn't expect that you Han and Wei would each send 100,000 troops this time, and the Qin soldiers could actually recruit so many soldiers, which can only be blamed on our Zhao State for despising the Qin State too much before!"
The 30,000 troops that Zhao Bao just mentioned was naturally because Wei Si and Fei Yi mentioned the huge difference between the number of Zhao soldiers and the number of Han and Wei troops, as well as the current strength of the Qin army, so Fei Yi also wrote back to Zhao Jun Zhao Yong overnight.
