Chapter 70: The Gentleman's Covenant

"General, there is a Wenyi military report."

"Hurry up."

Pang Cong flipped through the bamboo slips and quickly browsed it, "How is the situation in Wenyi now?" ”

"General Hui, the Qin army has now camped in Yebandu for three days. Except for the tentative siege after arriving on the first day, everything else was normal, and there was no sign of siege. ”

"Well, got it. and rest in the hall, ready to be sent. ”

"Yes."

Pang Cong held the bamboo slip in his hand, stood up and looked at the map behind him for a long time, put on his cloak, and walked out. Turning left and right for a while, he walked to the door of a room, and was about to knock on the door, but suddenly saw that in the gazebo not far away, Le Yi and Wei Yi were wearing thick coats, warm wine, and chatting with great interest. Although today is a relatively warm day since winter, the two of them seem to be enjoying it and don't care about the cold weather at all.

Pang Cong slowly walked into the pavilion, the two didn't know what they were talking about and laughed at the same time, and just about to talk again, they saw Pang Cong.

"General Pang came just in time, the two of us were bored drinking, and we were worried that no one would have fun together, so you just came." Wei Yi said with a big grin. It is said that this person speaks directly and harshly, which can be described as very good, and he often refutes everyone completely. But there is some truth to it. He and Le Yi are bold and happy, and the other is as warm as jade, so that the two of them can become confidants, which can be regarded as wonderful. Although Wei Yi is a guest of Wei, as Gongsun Yan said, he is almost a white-collar worker who does not work, even if he is personally summoned by King Wei Hui, he will not go, and now the heir of King Wei, naturally he can't think of him. This time, it was able to follow Gongsun Yan to the front line of Hangu, and even Gongsun Yan felt very strange. However, it is not worth the trip to be able to talk with Le Yi very happily.

"The last general will not have this leisure, disturbing the two Yaxing, it is purely a last resort." Pang Cong said with a smile, and handed the bamboo slip with the military information recorded to Le Yi, "The military information of Wenyi has just been delivered, and the Qin army of 30,000 is besieging Wenyi." ”

Le Yi took the bamboo slip as usual, browsed it, and handed it to Wei Yi. After reading it, Wei Yu said with a smile: "It seems that the Qin people don't understand your intentions." ”

Le Yi shook his head with a wry smile and said, "This is also expected, but it can't be said that there is nothing unintentional." ”

"Mr. Le originally hoped to put on a defensive posture and let the Qin people retreat in the face of difficulties, so that Gongsun Yan's defeat would have a step, and at the same time, the countries could see the hope of defeating Qin, so he made this decision." Pang Cong said, "However, the Qin people are indeed too unscrupulous. ”

Wei Yi said jokingly: "I'm afraid that the general's so-called hope for the countries to attack Qin is the heart of the king of your country to wait and see the changes and add fuel to the fire." ”

Pang Cong's face was red and white when he said it, as if he had been told that he had hit the pain point. In fact, to put it bluntly, the interests of the Zhao State are that if the Five Kingdoms can hold Qin State for a longer time, Zhao State will have enough time to digest the occupied northern land, and the eyes of Qin State will always be involved here in Hangu Pass. At this point, Zhao was happy to continue the war, and even had to personally increase his troops to maintain this balance.

From another point of view, Zhao also did not want Han and Wei to succeed in attacking Qin. Zhao also hoped that Han Wei could balance the Qin State, so that the three kingdoms could consume each other, and the Zhao State could handle his own affairs quietly, without having to be distracted by both sides of the Qin State. This is also why Zhao Yong will promise South Korea to reinforce Hangu; Similarly, it is also a reason that Zhao hopes to maintain friendly relations with Qin. The so-called left and right sources are also.

Le Yi is very aware of Zhao Yong's attitude, which is also what he considered when making the decision to hold on to defense. If not, Qin will send troops to continue the war with the five countries, then Zhao will have to stabilize this balance, and the five countries will not be able to make great strides, nor can the Qin state comfortably lift the siege of Hangu.

Therefore, Wei Yu's scherzo is indeed not unreasonable. Pang Cong was said to be in his heart, so he naturally couldn't refute it.

"In any case, whether Wenyi can hold on to success will determine whether the contest with Qin will be won or lost, and the last general is now a little worried about whether the two of Storm Kite and Zhao Hao can hold Wenyi." Pang Cong said worriedly.

Le Yi stood up, tightened the cloak on his body, looked at the courtyard with dead branches and leaves, and wandered. Pang Cong looked at Le Yi's appearance, knowing that he must be guessing Qin Jun's next move, to be honest, he had been thinking about it for a while just now, and it was precisely because he had doubts that he came to Le Yi to discuss. Wei Yu came by drinking it on his own, this kind of decision-making was not his forte, and now he was in Zhao Ying, and many things were inconvenient to put his beak. So I was happy.

Le Yi suddenly stopped, looked at Pang Cong, and said slowly: "I'm afraid, Wenyi's side is definitely not so simple. ”

"That's exactly what the Admiral fears." Pang Cong said, "If the Qin army attacks it with a dignified and upright army, maybe the battle situation will be miserable, but it will not be defeated." I'm afraid that Qin Jun's wisdom will come out frequently, and he will find another way. ”

"I once heard Gongsun Yan say that there is a person in the Qin State, known as a think tank, and he is one of the best wise generals in the Qin State. Although he is out of the clan, he is good at Wen Taowu and has a good point. The king of Qin relied on him as the minister of the humerus, and all the civil and military strategies should be referred to in detail, and everything he said and did was not true, and some people even said that he had the art of predicting the future. Wei Yu put down the bronze jue and said with a smile: "I hope that the Qin army that is going north now is not led by this person." Otherwise, I'm afraid that Zhao Bang and the others are not their opponents. ”

"In the Qin State Sect, there is still such a god?" Pang Cong couldn't help but ask, very curious about the person in Wei Yu's mouth, it seemed that there were some apocryphalic ingredients.

"This man is not a man of God." Wei Yi shook his head and said, "It is the son of Qin Xiaogong, and now the half-brother of Qin Wangsi, whose name is disease, and it is called winning disease." And because it lives in this place, the people of the time called it the disease. ”

"If this is really the case, I'm afraid this is not something that the two of them can deal with. Let them strengthen their defenses to prevent them from being attacked by the other side. ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy to keep this person." Le Yi said suddenly, "Please reply to the two of them quickly, please reply to the two of them, be sure to stick to the city, and don't leave the city easily." ”

Pang Cong nodded thoughtfully, and hurriedly went to arrange Le Yi's order.

"Even so, I'm afraid it's too late. Since he wants a quick solution, this information is the information from two days ago, and now it is still too far away to know what it is. How to grasp this degree is indeed a headache, do you think the storm kite can do it? ”

"Even if you can't do it, you can only decide to do so. After all, they can't be there in person, and there are some things that can't be decided for them. ”

"But once Wenyi can't hold on, the next big rout is inevitable. I'm afraid that's not what your king wants. Wei Yu said.

"Providence is so, what can I do?" Le Yi said indifferently.

Wei Yu looked at his expression, thought for a while, and suddenly smiled, "I guessed about a point or two of what you meant." Are you sure that person will do what you want, though? ”

Le Yi was noncommittal, "If it happens, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

"If he makes the trip, he will agree with your opinion, go to Handan, and meet King Zhao."

"In a word."

"The gold and jade will not move."

"You mean, the people of the Qin State had an abnormal action last night?" In Wenyi City, Storm Kite looked at the scout and said with a surprised expression.

"Yes. The general ordered me to wait day and night to investigate, and we must not relax easily. Yesterday night, someone discovered that the Qin army seemed to be making a fire while the night was making food, and his actions were abnormal. Continuing to investigate, it was found that around the time of the third watch, part of the Qin army left the camp at night and drove northeast. Our scouts hurriedly followed the pursuit, but the night was too thick and they never dared to get too close. The exact number of people is unknown. According to the number of horses, it is about 10,000 people. ”

The storm kite spread out the map and looked at it for a while, his fingers wandering between the two places of the wild king and the fish.

"General, what do you think of the Qin army's movements?" Zhao Hao asked on the side.

"Could it be that the other party will really abandon attacking Wenyi and attack Xiuyu? Seems too bold. Storm Kite couldn't help but mutter.

"There are 20,000 Qin troops in Yebandu, which is used to contain our army in Wenyi, if our army goes to pursue, I am afraid that Wenyi will fall into a crisis."

Wenyi now has about 40,000 Han and Zhao coalition troops, Xiuyu and Yewang troops are about 40,000 people, and the Qin army of 10,000 people, where can they go?
