Chapter 283: When False Is True, True Is False
Most of the Qi troops were stationed in southern Xinjiang, and the defenders in the east were scarce.
The king of Qin attacked Wei, hoping that the Wei army would hold on, at least until the Qi army destroyed the Song and occupied eastern Chu.
Let the Qin army advance eastward, and Xing may reach the border of Qi.
King Qi walked back and forth, his thoughts were solemn, and when he was young, he stopped and asked: "How much does King Qin lead the army?" ”
"Father, it has not yet been clarified. However, the King of Qin attacked Wei, and invested more than 200,000 elites in Shangjun and Hedong County, and more than 100,000 were stationed in Hedong alone, with more than 40,000 flying bear troops.
There is still a surplus. Destroy Wei, I am afraid that the army will not be able to reach it.
However, in Qin, the garrisons in various places rested, and if the king of Qin ordered, within half a month, all Qin troops would arrive in Wei.
At that time, Wei was in the flick of his fingers! ”
Gongzi clenched his fists and said, Daoming Wei Di battle situation.
The elite of the Qin State, especially the armed Flying Bear Army, and the light cavalry of the Qi State, are really difficult to stop.
Now the princes are most worried that if the king of Qin seizes the opportunity of the emptiness of Qi Dong, he will send an elite expedition to the east, so that Qi will be forced to return to the division.
The land of Song, the land of Chu, was in vain.
The king of Qi bowed his head, at present, it is not suitable for the Qi State to increase troops to the east, and it is not possible to stop fighting against the Song State.
While thinking about it, King Qi made a clear picture of Ji Xuanling, his brows were tightly locked, and he gradually smiled, and turned back to sit back on the throne.
The king of Qin raised troops to destroy Wei, and if he did not increase his troops to Wei, he would probably be bluffing.
If the king of Qin destroys Wei with an iron heart, he will inevitably increase troops to the front line.
To know whether the King of Qin destroyed Wei, he only had to observe carefully and pay attention to whether he mobilized elites to Wei.
If the Qin army west of Hangu Pass marched eastward, it would indicate that the Qin king would destroy Wei, and the Qi army should prepare in advance to prevent trouble.
If the Qin army in Hangu Pass does not move, the so-called destruction of Wei is just a bluff, and the Qi army only needs to respond to all changes with no change, continue to cultivate the Song State, eliminate the Song State, and occupy the eastern part of the Chu State in front of the Chu army.
"Wing, send scouts to Hangu Pass, closely monitor the movements of the Qin army, and pay attention to whether the King of Qin will increase his troops to Weidi!"
Whether the king of Qin increased his troops.
The prince thought for a moment and suddenly realized.
That's right, whether the King of Qin increased his troops, that is, the direct evidence of whether the Qin State destroyed Wei, he didn't even think about it before.
He clenched his fists and said, "Erchen will do it immediately!" ”
"Wait!" King Qi shouted.
The prince asked in surprise: "What else does my father command?" ”
King Qi grabbed the table, Gong Lang's deployment in Hedong County, and the battle map of the army led by King Qin, and sent it to Gongzi and said: "Send someone to send this battle map to the western front, tell the generals on the western front, study it in detail, no matter whether the king of Qin destroys Wei or not, you must not underestimate the enemy, and quickly strengthen the defense!" ”
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.
The King of Qin has always been cunning and scheming, and if he did not increase his troops, it was not impossible to destroy the Wei State with the elite of his commander.
Such an anomaly, anything can happen to him.
I have to guard against it!
The boy took the map, rolled it up, and then turned around and exited the study.
......
Hedong County.
Ji Xuanling marched with his troops, destroying the withering and decaying trend and advancing to the south of Shangdang County.
Where they passed, the Wei army was defeated like a mountain.
Occasionally, stragglers appeared to attack the Qin army, but the number was scarce, there was no general organization, and the attack and killing of the Qin army was like a moth to a fire, almost showing a trace, and was chased and killed by the Qin army.
The Qin army pursued their escape routes, often searching for the fortresses where the Wei army was hiding, and using fire oil and thick smoke to force the Wei troops hiding in the bunkers to either burn or kill.
Within a few days, the Wei army had no way to stop the pace of the Qin army's eastward crusade.
However, Anyi City, the Wei army of the Xiangshui River, did not take the bait, when Ji Xuanling led the troops to the south of Shangdang, the scout sent a message to Xing Buying to command the Qin army to attack the central part of Shangdang, Pan Xiong of the Xiangshui River, and the public of Anyi City, and did not lead the troops to pursue.
This move made him quite depressed, and he wondered if it was Mu Huali, Gong Yilang, Pan Xiong and other generals who guessed what the Qin army planned and chose to wait and see.
In this way, the plan to induce the Wei army to return to the east and ask for help from Daliang City fell through, and Lin Junchen and Yang Jingwu led the army to lurk, which was also a waste of time.
In addition to being depressed, Ji Xuanling still insisted on his opinion, not only leading the army to attack the southern part of Shangdang, but also speeding up the battle.
The Qin army was on the offensive, and the Wei army was on the defensive, always leading the Wei army by the nose.
Even if Mu Huali loses Lang, Pan Xiong guesses what he wants, so what, aren't you afraid that when he pretends to be true, it will also be false, and he will break the capital of the king of Wei?
After all, the scout reconnaissance report showed that there were very few Wei troops in Shangdang County, if Mu Huali and Gong lost Lang, Pan Xiong did not send the Wei army to entangle the Qin army, and the Qin army easily crossed Shangdang and approached the vicinity of the Wei King City.
At that time, the destruction of Wei was no longer a casual talk.
Capture Daliang City and break through the Wei Palace, only between the raised of hands.
After a few days of marching, the Qin army advanced extremely fast in Shangdang County, as if entering a no-man's land, and arrived at the eastern border of Shangdang County, close to Daliang City.
At this time, Lin Junchen and Yang Jingwu came with news from the north that the Wei army had moved.
When an elite Wei army left Anyi City to track the pace of Xing Buying's army, it unfortunately fell into the trap of the Qin army and suffered heavy losses.
The Wei army fled back in embarrassment, cowering in the city of Luoyi, not daring to venture out of the city.
Hearing the news, Ji Xuanling was happy, but still a little disappointed, severely damaged a Wei army of 20,000 or 30,000 people, but did not completely annihilate the Wei army near the Xiangshui River, proving that Mu Huali lost Lang, and Pan Xiong had already guessed his plan.
The Wei army, which was ambushed by the Qin army, was mostly exploring the way for the main force of the Wei army.
Lin Junchen, Yang Jingwu, led the troops to annihilate him, his whereabouts were exposed, Mu Huali, and the public lost Lang, so he must be more and more cautious.
Even if they led the troops to the rescue of Shangdang, the Wei army was afraid that they would be in camp step by step, and it would be more difficult to annihilate them completely.
When Ji Xuanling was worried, Huang Haoran brought him good news, walked into the king's tent, with a thick smile on the corner of his mouth, bowed deeply, and presented the letter to Ji Xuanling: "Your Majesty, the prince has come to join the party, and he has sent someone to send a letter, wanting to meet with the king and discuss peace!" ”
"Peace?"
Ji Xuanling was stunned and surprised.
The Qin army has not yet killed Shangdang County, and the prince came to Shangdang to discuss peace with him, how weak is this Wei State.
Open the letter and read it, in the letter, Gongzi has a low-key posture and a sincere attitude, Daoming Shangjun was attacked, and the merchants of Qin were killed outside the city of Daliang, all of which were provoked by the Qi State.
There is no ironclad evidence in the letter, but Gongzi analyzed the situation and speculated on his own, explaining clearly the disadvantages of the Qin and Wei wars to the two countries and the benefits to the other vassal states.
Ji Xuanling browsed the letters, looked up and smiled, and Gongzi did not hesitate to take the risk to come to Shangdang County to explain to him the misunderstanding, Wei Guoduo had no strength to fight.
"Wang, when the prince came to Shangdang County, the King of Wei sent generals to recruit troops in Daliang City, sent the prime minister to the State of Chu to lobby, and sent the Taiwei to the State of Zhao, and the minister guessed that the King of Wei was making preparations with both hands!" Huang Haoran said.
Judging from what he knew, the king of Wei was preparing for the Qin army's refusal to make peace, and if the Qin army did not stop fighting, the Wei army would fight with the Qin army.
