Chapter 135: Fangs of the Night
"Lingshou City in front of you, you and I can't calm down quickly, and we are still thinking about Qin Chu's affairs, if others listen to it, it should be said that you and I can't do it myself." Zhao Yong picked the bonfire again, let it burn more vigorously, and turned over the hanging venison to roast it as golden brown as possible. There are just the two of them in the camp, but it is not worrying that some people will make irresponsible remarks and provoke the relationship between the two, not to mention, Zhao Yong likes this kind of relationship instead, but the other party can only be Le Yi and a few people.
"Lingshou City is repaired everywhere, it seems to be strong, but in fact, it is at the end of the strong crossbow, and it is only in an instant, but the ministers feel that the king should think about how to get a piece of the pie during the great war between Qin and Chu."
"Those who know me are the only ones." Zhao Yong smiled evilly, indeed, he had this kind of thought for a long time.
"The king praised it." Le Yi is polite, he has always been very polite to Zhao Yong, and he never dared to trespass.
"It's so deep tonight, and you and I haven't talked for a long time. In this way, you might as well guess what the widow's plan is, and what is it? ”
"Your Ministers obey."
Qiu Liquid was in the camp tent, turning over and over again and couldn't sleep, although Lingshou City was besieged for two months, it was still not captured, but the war situation was one-sided, and Zhao Guo would complete the occupation of Zhongshan sooner or later, it was just a matter of time. At this moment, the princes of the Warring States have the ability to influence Zhao to annex Zhongshan, but these princes are confined to their own wars, and they have no intention of taking care of Zhao and Zhongshan. And after that, it is impossible to know where Zhao Guo will go.
For a military general, the greatest sorrow is to guard the most golden age, but waste it in the court, the knife into the treasury, and the horse in Nanshan, can only watch the young generals from all walks of life make meritorious contributions, and they can cry out in vain. In the past few years, he has been guarding the well, and he has had enough of the hardships of this idle life, and he has long been unable to bear the restless nerves, so he can only hold back a breath of fire sprinkled on the woman, which has enlarged the belly of several women, and the child has also given birth to a bunch of children.
This time, Zhao Yong finally summoned him, but he arranged a job to deal with the aftermath, which really made him uncomfortable, as if he saw a beautiful woman taking off clean and slippery, but he could only watch from a distance, and he couldn't play blasphemous, this feeling of aggrieved made him sprinkle fire on the Zhongshan prisoner. Although Zhao Yong has repeatedly ordered that no one can abuse prisoners, but now that there are frequent wars, no one must be able to control him.
"Well, that's bad luck." Qiu Ye sat up from the marching couch, took a sip of the wine bowl next to him, and remembered that this was clear water, not wine, and it was strictly forbidden to drink alcohol in the Zhao army, which was different from other princes, even in the Hu army, alcohol was absolutely forbidden. After drinking half of the liquid, he spit it out, looking at the blazing bonfire, stunned for a moment. Then he got up, put on his armor, and walked out of the tent.
"Someone's coming!"
"Captain."
"Gather the troops of the fifth brigade and go on a hunting tour with a certain one!"
"Yes."
"It's a big night, I can't sleep, it's better to go out for a walk." He comforted himself, "Maybe I can come back from hunting some prey, sacrifice to the king, and then assign some errands to do." He muttered to himself. So saying, he went back to his tent, took out his sword, and went to look for his mount.
"As the king expected, now that the war between Qin and Chu has begun, the state of Chu has gone out of Korea and besieged the Yong family. Therefore, in the Qin-Chu war, South Korea also had to participate. Le Yi stared at his eyebrows, and analyzed according to the information he obtained: "Since South Korea is involved, as an ally of Qin, Wei will naturally not be idle, and it should be the right thing to send troops to Chu." ”
"Sir's analysis is reasonable." Zhao Yong responded.
"South Korea and Wei are dealing with Chu State, and Chu State is about to suffer from the enemy, at this time, for Zhao State, it is naturally good to get a piece of the soup from Qin State." Le Yi continued, "But here, there is a problem. ”
"What's the problem?" Zhao Yong was a little stunned, all of Le Yi's previous analyses were similar to his own, but Le Yi said that there was a problem here, which made Zhao Yong scratch his head.
"The biggest problem is that since the Qin State wants to help Korea relieve the siege of the Yongshi, it will also have to send troops to Hangu. For Zhao Guo, Qin Guobing's letter to the valley was the biggest problem. After all, if we want to make the Qin State suffer, we can only act while the Qin State has no troops available. The tent opened, and Wei Yi walked in with a grin. Seeing that there was still a deer roasting in the center of the tent, he disregarded the image, slipped a piece of meat with a small blade, and feasted on it.
"Well, that's true." Zhao Yong thought about General Wei's words again and again, and finally understood what he meant. With the position of the Yong clan and the strength of the Qin state, it is not difficult to lift the siege of the Yong clan. Once the Qin army stationed the Yong clan, it would be dangerous for the Zhao State to take advantage of the Qin State. Maybe the Qin army went north directly, and it is not known that the troops will be in Handan.
"Therefore, if you want the Qin State to suffer this loss, our army must have enough troops to defend Handan and prevent the other party from sneaking attack; the second is that the Qin army went on an expedition and worked hard, and when it came to Handan, it was also the end of the strong crossbow and could not last; The third is that the war between Qin and Chu can last a little longer. ”
"Resigned to fate, this feeling, the widow really doesn't like it." Zhao Yong shook his head, and there was a lot of unwillingness in his tone.
Le Yi and Wei Yi glanced at each other, the latter nodded, Le Yi understood, hesitated for a while and said: "The heart of the great king, even if it is precious, but the fact is that after the annexation of Zhongshan by the Zhao State, the biggest problem is how to repair, not to make a big move. The Qin State was powerful at this time, and since it dared to provoke a war between the two countries, it was naturally prepared. If you want to fight with the Qin State, it is impossible for the time being. Even if Zhao changed the law and innovated for more than ten years, it still can't compare to the current national strength of Qin, so he can only ask the king to be patient for the time being, keep his light and keep his eyes open, and then carry out the merger. ”
"It is true that the State of Zhao is indeed very powerful now, but it is not strong enough to fight with the State of Qin. The battle line of Zhao was very long, with advantages and disadvantages, while Qin had a geographical advantage and could advance or retreat. In comparison, it pales in comparison. Wei Yu said, "Therefore, if the king wants to take advantage of the Qin and Chu battles to fish in troubled waters, he naturally has no choice." For example, the land east of the Wei River in Puyang, Beiqu, and Fencheng, and the vast land north of the Fen River newly occupied by the Qin State can be taken as one's own! Wei Yi said excitedly.
"Damn, this shitty place, there wasn't even a hare at night, and after running for so long, I didn't catch anything." Qiu Liquid said indignantly.
"Captain, it is said that wolves are frequent here, and it may be because of this that I don't dare to move on game or anything at night."
"Hmph, according to what you said, it would be nice to have a pack of wild wolves, it's better than nothing!"
The soldier was only resigned, and he could only blame himself for the back of the idea, and it was the most annoying time to bump into the hatred liquid.
"Forget it, scatter around, look for it again, if not, go back to the camp."
"No!" The soldiers behind him received the order and scattered according to the rules. Of course, this scattering refers to a very short range, after all, the surrounding area is too dark, and the troops are moving on a large scale, and no one will run too far.
Qiu Liquid was really in a bad mood, he swayed on his horse, and also looked around at the surrounding environment, thinking that no matter what, he had to hunt something back. Maybe he was lucky, just walked two steps, and saw two bright lights in the grass not far away, Qiu Li looked closely, it seemed to be a rabbit. He hurriedly set up his posture on his horse, his bow and arrows resting on the bowstring, and looked at the rabbit not far away, and thought that he had already regarded him as his trophy.
At this moment, the rabbit seemed to sense something, jumped two steps, and disappeared into the grass after a while, Qiu Liquid cursed and hurried two steps, trying to catch the rabbit, and finally found the target in the grass not far away, and hurriedly shot the arrow again. said that it was too late, and at this critical moment, he entered a state of concentration and was about to hunt, but he heard the faint sound of horses' hooves not far away.
This surprise is not trivial, because within a radius of a hundred miles, there will definitely be no soldiers other than his own troops, and Li Yan's cavalry is also in the northeast, so it will definitely not appear here. Qiu Li's mind was racing, and he finally realized that this time, he might have encountered a big prey!
"The strategy of the national captain is really very appetizing." Zhao Yong smiled bitterly, even if there is no map, Zhao Yong knows that the land of Qin in the north of Fenshui that Wei Yu said was just taken by Qin from Wei, and the south of Fenshui is Fenyin, Quwo, Anyi, Puban and Yin Jin, among which Fenyin and Yin Jin are important ferries under the control of Qin, and they are also the springboard for the Qin army to attack Hedong from the land west of the river, and it is also an important ferry port for the Wei State to attack the land west of the river, which can be regarded as the elbow of Qin and Jin and the lifeblood of the two countries. When Wu Qi attacked Hexi, it was from here that he sent troops, and the Qin State controlled Hexi, and it was also from here that the Wei State was repulsed, and its importance is self-evident. If it really occupied the area north of the Fen River, then the Qin State would inevitably regard the Zhao State as a thorn in the flesh, and it is not known that the whole country will start a war.
"The soldiers are in danger, so they can be taken by surprise." Wei Yu didn't feel the slightest pressure, and felt that everything was normal. "At this time, the Qin-Chu War, if our army can take the opportunity to occupy the land north of Fenshui, it will have the upper hand in the battle against Qin. In the future, the Qin State will never easily cross the river to attack the hinterland of Korea and the Shangdang region, and in the same way, occupying this place can also defend the Lilin area, expand the buffer of Qin and Zhao, better defend Jinyang, and contact the three northern counties, why not? ”
"If it is according to what you said, I am afraid that the Qin State will not let the Zhao State succeed easily. Our side has just defeated Puyang, and the Qin army dares to go north from the Yongshi to Handan, when the time comes, how should the danger of Handan be resolved? Although Le Yi thinks what Wei Yi said is reliable, the details are still debatable. Zhao Yong had a serious face, and he also wanted to take out the dry goods from Wei Yi's words.
Wei Yi unhurriedly dipped the venison in the sauce in front of Le Yi, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then swallowed it, as if he didn't see the eager eyes of the two. He took another sip of wine and said leisurely, "Isn't there still a Qi country?" On the Qi country's side, it should also be a little quiet. ”
"Qi Guo?" Zhao Yong and Le Yi looked at each other, not knowing what Wei Yi meant.
