Chapter 146: Sabre Rattling
As soon as he sent a letter to Guguan, the news of Jingcui's attack on Yongshi City came, and just when everyone thought that he would order the troops to advance rapidly, they didn't expect that Liji's order turned out to be to suspend the pace of the attack.
Bai Qi raised the whip slightly, put it down again, and glanced at the long line in front of him boredly, the disdain in his eyes was obvious. He was quite dissatisfied with the strategy of the disease. In private, I have looked for the disease many times, hoping to lead an army to attack Jingcui's camp for thousands of miles, if you can't sword Jingcui, you will die to apologize.
He very simply rejected Bai Qi's suggestion, and warned him that if he brought up the matter again, military law would take action. This made Bai Qi very breathless, although his plan was very dangerous, but as long as he could win, what method would not work?
Obviously, Bai Qi's immaturity is still a bad move compared to the old scheming of Zhi Li's disease.
"Where is the army of Wei now?" He asked the lieutenant general beside him.
"It is said that if you assemble at Yuguan, you can set off at any time, and it is not too far from Maling to Yongshi."
He groaned for a while, and said to the adjutant general: "What about the South Korean army? ”
"Yangcheng."
"Tell Wei that the army should be stationed after gathering in Maling, and not to penetrate deep into the territory of Korea; The Han army moved near Yangcheng, so it was easy not to show up near Yongshi City to prevent being surrounded by the opposing army. ”
"The generals of the two countries should not engage the Chu army until our army arrives."
"General, at the current speed of our army, I'm afraid it will be half a month before we reach Yongshi City, and by then, I'm afraid that the Chu army will already capture Yongshi."
Zhu Lijian smiled contemptuously, "This is exactly the reason why Han and Wei moved the camera." With these two armies involved in the left side of the Chu army, Jing Cui would either attack the city with all his might, or he would be afraid. ”
"If you attack the city with all your might, with the strength of the Yong clan, plus the containment of Han and Wei, it is completely possible for the Yong clan to defend for more than a month, and when our army arrives, it must be at the end of the strong crossbow, and our army is just annihilating the Chu army."
"If you are timid, wouldn't you be in the right place, and our army will not have to worry about regeneration and change."
"It seems that the general wants to completely swallow this Chu army under the Yongshi City."
Zhu Li slapped the horsewhip in his hand: "If this is not the case, why should our army march so cautiously? It's a pity that Bai Qi kid will never understand that the knife that cuts off the head is the most terrible only when it hangs over a person's head, not when the knife falls. ”
Only then did the generals wake up to the fact that they were sick, and this was boiling eagles. It's just that this eagle is very difficult to tame.
Wei Zhang, who sent troops at about the same time as Zhu Liji, was different from Zhu Liji's approach, obviously receiving the influence of Zhang Yi doing his best to protect himself, Wei Zhang was able to become the commander of the first army this time, it cannot be said to be a great gift, as far as this honor is concerned, even if it is broken, it is worth it. As soon as the war began, Wei Zhang's army went out of the military pass and rushed to the border of Chu with great momentum, but Wei Zhang began to hesitate in choosing a target.
"The last general thinks that our army should directly attack Xiyi, where the army of the Chu army is located, and then go south along the Xishui, conquer Danyang, and then enter the Chu realm."
"The last general thinks it's not right." Another general said, "The purpose of our army's trip should be to capture Danyang in Chu State." In this case, the army can completely ignore the Chu army near Xiyi and directly attack Danyang. ”
"A direct attack on Danyang is too dangerous for our army. The Chu army is concentrated in Xiyi, and if our army attacks Danyang, the Chu army will send troops to flank our troops attacking Danyang before and after. ”
The subordinates were arguing, and Wei Zhang himself was hesitating. From a steady point of view, attacking Danyang from Xiyi is a stable chess move. Conquering Xiyi and following the water analysis down Danyang can be said to have taken advantage of the geographical advantage.
However, the people of Chu are not fools, and Xiyi is an important city on the border of Qin and Chu, which has always been heavily guarded, and it is not easy to easily capture this city. If it is delayed for too long in Xiyi, not only will it not be able to capture Danyang, but I am afraid it will not be able to give the people of Chu too much involvement.
Do you really want to take the risk of attacking Danyang?
The war between Qin and Chu is about to break out, and the two countries of Qin and Chu, who are in the whirlpool, are naturally waiting for a while, and they dare not relax for a while, and the two countries of Han and Wei, which have been affected, how can they get up easily?
King Han Xuanhui was lying on the sickbed, and if he said a word, he seemed to be able to take the life of this king, he knew that just like King Wei Hui, who had been dominant, his life was also coming to an end, at this time, he was most concerned, but not Yongshi City, which was besieged by the Chu State, but a group of ministers kneeling in front of him, and two sons.
Prince Huan and Gongzi Cang, the two of them also seem to know what fate they will face next, and they seem to care more about what they will do next than their father is dying. Like them, he raised his head openly and looked at Han Wangkang on the sickbed, his brows furrowed together. The news that King Han is seriously ill is nothing new in Korea, and many people know about it, but the siege of Yongshi City by the State of Chu still surprised the old man who was in his last years, so that he couldn't afford to fall ill. At this time, if he really dies, then the heir to the throne ...... He turned his head to look at Gong Zhongxuan, who was expressionless and didn't seem to care much about this kind of thing. After thinking about it carefully, it became clear to Zhang Kaidi in his heart: Yes, whether it is Prince Wan or Gongzi Cang, Gong Zhongxuan is the master of the two of them, and it is always safe.
Like himself, he can only rely on Han Wangkang's favor, but next, how should he deal with himself?
Han Wangkang tried to open his eyes and looked at the two sons in front of him, both of whom were very good enough to become the next Korean king. The prince is decisive and fair, and in the past few years as the prince, he has also made some achievements, and he can be regarded as having a high prestige in the government and the opposition. Behind him, there was a group of ministers who supported Zhang Kaidi and others to fight against Qin, especially Zhang Kaidi's father and son, who were among the leaders. This is also the diplomatic strategy that the crown prince supports.
In comparison, Gongzicang is a little immature, but he is better than being sleek, and he is careful in his words and deeds, but he is thoughtful and easy to say, but what he says must always be true.
In addition, Gongzi Cang's attitude is very ambiguous in the matter of joining forces to resist Qin or even crossing the Qin State, even if he asked, Han Cang never expressed his position, this is this kind of city, so that King Han hesitated at this time.
If Prince Huan is chosen to inherit the throne, then in the battle of Yongshi City, with Qin's attitude towards Prince Huan, I am afraid that the Qin army will turn its gun and occupy other cities in Korea, and Prince Huan will no longer be with Qin Guoxu and Snake, but will form an alliance with Zhao State to fight against Qin.
And if Gongzi Cang succeeded to the throne, with his attitude towards things, he would not be so obedient to the side of Zhao and the other six countries, but continued to seek cooperation and compromise between the Qin State and the Six Kingdoms like himself. It is neither a shield for the Six Nations nor a springboard for the Qin State, so that South Korea can continue to survive.
In the end, how to choose?
"Ling Zhang Kaidi is appointed as the county guard of the party, and the prince is ......"
"Zhang Kaidi went to Shangdang County to be the county guard, and the crown prince deposed the crown prince and demoted him to the prince; Prince Chang became the new king of Korea. Zhao Yong put the bamboo slips in his hand on a few cases, and said with a wry smile: "King Han is really well-intentioned." ”
This also shows an attitude, that is, South Korea will follow the old path of Han Wangkang in the future, continue to work with Qin Guoxu, and use each other with our country. This ally doesn't want to betray us, but it's not the same as us. Zhao Bao said.
This is the first big court meeting after Zhao Yong's triumphant return, mainly to deal with Zhao Yong's absence in this period of time Zhao State affairs, after the end of the court meeting, Zhao Yong ordered all the people of the White Tiger Hall and the captains, Pang Cong to the White Tiger Hall to discuss, did not think about it before the main topic, received the news of the death of King Han, and it was enough for everyone to be caught off guard.
This is the meaning of the title. If Zhao wants to compete with other princes for hegemony in the world, he must rely on his own strength, and if he relies on other princes to achieve it, I am afraid he will laugh and be generous. "The lieutenant speaks, always so bitter.
Zhao Yong saw that Zhao Bao's face was ugly, and hurriedly made a round: "The widow wishes that the other princes and kings died early one by one, and the widow can lead the army to take the opportunity to attack other countries." There are ways to save worry and effort, who wants to be difficult. The best thing is that the king of Qin also dies, and the Qin state falls into civil strife, and the widow can sit back and relax. ”
If Zhao Yong knew that he had a crow's mouth attribute, he didn't know how to feel. In any case, after Zhao Yong's round, the awkward atmosphere suddenly dissipated a lot.
"South Korea's concerns are not unreasonable." Le Yi analyzed: "Although my Zhao State has increased in strength, it has always been in Taoguang and has never led the group, so that the six eastern countries, although they can see the strength of Zhao State, they still can't tie themselves and Zhao Guo's interests together. ”
"Today, since South Korea can be with our Zhao Guoxu, the Yan Kingdom of the other day will definitely be able to do the same. Having strength without revealing it, although it can catch the enemy by surprise, but in terms of maintaining alliances, it is not a long-term solution. ”
"Sir, does you mean to let Zhao gain enough prestige among the other princes to consolidate Zhao's alliance?"
"Exactly." Le Yi said: "With the current strength of the Qin State, it is still the best way to resist Qin, and the reason why the matter of the alliance often fails is precisely because the six countries are not united, but how difficult is it to have the six countries to be united?" ”
"Yes, if you want to gather people's hearts, you have to show your strength and reassure your allies, and naturally there will be no South Korea today."
"Although what the gentleman said is very true, how difficult is it to implement?"
"Is it difficult?" Le Yi looked at Zhao Yong and said with a smile: "If the king doesn't want to find the bad luck of the Qin State, why do you want to transfer Qiu Liquid from Zhongshan to Jinyang?" ”
I'm sorry, there was a change in the family a few years ago, and now it's almost done, and I'm here to say goodbye to everyone. Not much to say, the update will continue, everyone rest assured.
