Chapter 137: Sneak Attack on Zhao Ying
"The matter of the Yan State has already made the Qi State anxious, I am afraid that the Qin and Chu wars, the Qi State may not be willing to come forward." Zhao Yong looked at Wei Yi, is this benevolent brother talking nonsense after drinking too much.
"Don't underestimate the king. Today, Qi Wangtian is a self-proclaimed hero, and his general Kuang Zhang is also a hero for a while. Under the rule of such a pair of monarchs and ministers, the ambition is naturally very large. Moreover, Tian Bijiang is flexible and very pragmatic. Being able to accept Tian Ji and Sun Bin who escaped, and being generous and understanding Tian Ying, they are naturally not a mediocre lord. Le Yi said.
Zhao Yong couldn't help but think of the scene when he went to Linzi for the first time and met Tian Pijiang by chance. At that time, he was still a young man of his own age, as young and vigorous. It's just that after Zhao Yong crossed over, he possessed the previous city government and calm in the young Zhao Yong's body, otherwise, he must be as impulsive as Tian Pijiang.
"Anyone will have it." Wei Yu said lightly, "Maybe except for the king, he is a person who is extremely deep in the Innate City Government." ”
The three of them laughed, and Wei Yi's playful words broke the dull atmosphere.
"If so, how can we get the attention of King Qin? If you don't do it well, I'm afraid it's easy to arouse suspicion. Zhao Yong said.
"The meaning of the national lieutenant seems to be expected to be the participation of the Qi Congress itself, right?" Le Yi looked at Wei Yi.
"Knowingly asked." Wei Yi glanced at Le Yi, "If Han Wei really joins the Qin-Chu War, then it will be impossible for the Qi State to be a watcher. Although the affairs of Yan are not clear, the Qi army is better to abandon Jidu and confront the coalition army in Linle than to stick to Jidu and hold on to the Yan-Zhao coalition army. Otherwise, the logistical supply of the army will be the biggest problem. Therefore, a certain feeling that Yan Guo will soon enter the stage of stalemate between the two sides, and the competition around Yi Shui will become the focus of the next stage of the two sides. ”
"Since the Yan State is temporarily stable, then taking advantage of the time when the Wei State is looking south, it has become the best choice for the Qi State to penetrate his tentacles into the Jishui Valley, and it is best to control Pushui in his own hands and threaten the Great Liang, which can be regarded as indirectly helping the Chu ......State."
"Wait, the widow is a little confused." Zhao Yong interrupted Wei Yi's speech, sometimes when talking to these smart people, you are like a fool, you can't understand what the other party wants to say at all, so you can only ask shamelessly. "Didn't the State of Chu take the initiative to break off diplomatic relations with the State of Qi? The king of Chu also specially sent someone to humiliate Tian Bijiang again, why did Tian Bijiang help Chu State? Could it be that he has already forgiven Xiong Huai, the king of Chu? ”
Wei Yi smiled, "How is this possible." Even if it is an ordinary young man, if he receives such a great humiliation, he will take revenge on the other party, the king of Qi is still the king of Qi, young and vigorous, how can he swallow his anger and let others humiliate him? ”
"But what the national lieutenant said just now, it is clear that the king of Qi wants to help the state of Chu, and here you say that the king of Qi will not forget the humiliation of the state of Chu, which... Isn't that a contradiction? ”
"Because as I said just now, King Qi is a very pragmatic person. This time, he really wanted to come out to help Chu State, and he had to help. Wei Yu said firmly!
The Zhongshan soldiers who were about to kill the Zhao army camp were making final preparations, according to the pre-arranged plan, after they entered the Zhao army camp, there would be an army from Lingshou City to attack the Zhao army camp from the front and side. And after entering the camp, there is only one purpose, that is, King Zhao's camp tent!
I have to say that this plan is very insightful, and it is very similar to the cavalry attack tactics of the Zhao army, which is to run from a hundred miles away to the destination to fight. And the Zhongshan soldiers have also done their best to do all the hidden work. In order to achieve the goal of the final blow and completely break the siege of the Zhao army, if it is successful, then Zhongshan can also turn over from now on, and even recapture the territory captured by the Zhao state.
However, people are not as good as heaven, they never expected that behind him, there would be a small tail, and the appearance of this little tail was so sudden. Qiu Liquid should be glad that if he hadn't wanted to go out hunting on a whim, he would never have found that he had been sneaking up on troops like this; And the Zhongshan people should also regret that they have encountered such a Hu man who does not play cards according to common sense and comes out to hunt at night. It's such a coincidence that they fell short. Zhongshan thought that as long as he bypassed the defense area of the Zhao army's camp, he would be able to successfully complete this sneak attack, but in the end, it was still a bad move.
At the moment when the Zhongshan people were highly nervous, more than 2,000 cavalry led by Qiu Ye rushed into their camp like a fierce tiger in the mountains, not afraid of the opponent's twice as many troops as himself. 5,000 versus 2,000, it is said that the difference in numbers, although it will not make Zhongshan people win, but it is still easy to gain an advantage. The result was that the cavalry troops led by Qiu Ye and the Hu people did not put the Zhongshan people in their eyes at all, and in the face of the panicked Zhongshan people, they killed people when they saw them and cut them down when they saw horses, and they took the blood of the Hu people to the extreme, without a trace of cowardice.
And the Zhongshan people, who were originally in a high degree of tension, did not realize the enemy behind them, and only then did they appear to be blocked by people, and that's it, the enemy blocking their back road is still a group of barbaric Hu people, which makes the Zhongshan people, who have not fought with the Hu people for many years, more or less uncomfortable. It seems that they are also late, and they are just descendants of the Xianbei people, and their ancestors were also Hu people.
It's not that the strength of the Zhongshan people is not good, but the Hu people fight, and they rarely talk about the art of war. Qiu Liquid is a fierce general, and the fighting style of a fierce general is not afraid of death. He took the lead, fought hard in the formation of the Zhongshan people, and was surrounded by a heavy siege, but there was a sense of excitement. The Hu people around him were also like him, it seemed that the blood on their bodies was a kind of glory, they looked like bloody people one by one, but they were not afraid, but shouted happily. This made the already fearful Zhongshan people even more frightened.
The battle on this side was soon discovered by the Zhao army camp, and when the scouts found out that it was their own people and the Zhongshan cavalry fighting, they hurriedly reported the matter to Zhao Yong. The three of them who were talking were taken aback by the sudden battle.
"King, the Zhongshan people rashly attacked, and they definitely have a backhand. Please give the king's order, except for a small number of people to help Qiu Liquid, the rest of the people immediately enter a state of alert to prevent the other party from taking the opportunity to attack our camp. Le Yi hurriedly suggested.
"Well, please ask Mr. to inform General Pang of the arrangement." Zhao Yong said calmly.
"No." Le Yi hurriedly went down to arrange this matter.
Soon, the drums of the Zhao army's camp sounded, and the entire camp was immediately lit up, and the soldiers in each camp got up one after another and entered a state of alert. Pang Cong arranged a team of cavalry to go to the aid of Qiu Liquid, and must annihilate all the enemies who sneaked up. At the same time, on the side of the Zhao army's camp facing the Lingshou City Gate, additional manpower was sent to light the lights to prevent another sneak attack by the other party.
Standing on the city wall, Wu Qiu watched the Zhao army's camp gradually light up, and the originally empty camp was soon filled with Zhao army, and he knew that this time the sneak attack plan still failed.
He gripped the sword as if he wanted to crush it. He couldn't tell if Sima Xi had told Zhao Jun about this plan, but even so, Wu Qiu Yu couldn't make up his mind and complained to his concubine about Sima Xi's collaboration with the enemy. Because from beginning to end, no matter how cold his words were, he couldn't change the softness in his heart.
"General, look at this ......" The deputy general saw that Zhao Jun had begun to be on guard at this moment, the previous plan had obviously failed, and under the city tower, there were nearly 10,000 dead soldiers in Zhongshan who were waiting for his order to hand over their lives to Wuqiu at any time.
"Retire, keep your spirits up, and talk about it tomorrow." Wu Qiu said with a lonely expression.
"General, in fact, we can still ......" the deputy general said anxiously, in his opinion, 10,000 dead soldiers were enough to cause an impact on the Zhao army, and it was completely possible to try.
"Stand down!" Wu Qiu shouted fiercely.
"No!" The adjutant general hesitated for a while, answered unwillingly, and retreated. Leaving only Wu Qiu alone, standing on the city tower, looking at Zhao Jun, I don't know what I was thinking.
And he probably wouldn't know that not far from him, Sima Xi also looked at the already brightly lit Zhao army camp, silently watching, letting the cold wind blow on his slightly confused face. This time Sima Xi can have a clear conscience, he actually has a way to pass on the matter to Zhao Jun this time, but he didn't do it, as for what he thinks in his heart, it is not something that others can understand.
"I didn't expect that the counterattack of the Zhongshan people before their demise was so ingenious. If it weren't for the Qiu Liquid guarding outside, I am afraid that at this time, the Zhongshan people would have succeeded, and our army would have to withdraw and fight again another day. Zhao Yong said with palpitations.
"In any case, the person who made this sneak attack plan does have some ability. This strategy of rushing for a hundred miles to sneak attack, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it makes people feel that it is like what my Zhao Jun did. ”
"Hehe, sure enough, you can't underestimate the heroes of the world." Zhao Yong said, "When the city is broken, I must ask who planned this plan, and it is best to use it for my Zhao country." ”
Wei Yu nodded, "I'm only afraid that loyal people may not be willing to attach the upstart." ”
So far, there are only a handful of people who dare to tell the truth in front of Zhao Yong, except for Fei Yi, it is estimated that it is this Wei Yi, even if Le Yi speaks to Zhao Yong, it is also very tactful.
"It's okay, the widows have time to wait for them to surrender." Zhao Yong said confidently.
When I heard this sentence, I liked it a lot and agreed with it. He came out of Zhao State, naturally hoping to show what he had learned, probably because among the vassal states that can compete with Qin, Zhao State is a very important one, and if he can help Zhao State fight against Qin, he will definitely live up to what he has learned in his life. But for Zhao Yong, he has never been too convinced, although he is old and spicy, but he lacks the coldness of the king, he uses the art of weighing freely, but he can't cover up his indecision in handling government affairs. This kind of monarch may be able to dominate for a while, but he may not be able to unify the world. But this time, Zhao Yong's bearing made Wei Yi look at him with admiration.
"Since the war over there is not over yet, why don't you explain to the widow again, why did the Qi State have to help the Chu State?"
"It's not that Qi must help Chu, but that Qi must save itself." Wei Yu continued the topic just now and continued, "Just like our army sent troops to help Yan State, the best way is to let the two Yan Kingdom sons fight, so as to involve the energy of the Qi army in Yan State. When our army attacked Zhongshan, it would not encounter the constraints of the Qi army. ”
"In the same way, if the Qi army attacks and helps the Chu state to involve the Wei state's forces, then the pressure on the Chu state will be eased when it confronts the three-kingdom alliance of Qin, Han and Wei. On the contrary, it can make the Chu State and the Three Kingdoms fall into a protracted battle and cannot extricate themselves. And the State of Qi only needs to gather heavy troops on the border of Qi and Wei, so that the State of Wei does not dare to send troops with all its might. ”
"Of course, if the Qi State can send troops to occupy places such as Boiled Zao, Jiyang and Huangchi, and seize the upper reaches of Pushui, then the lower reaches of the Ji Pingyuan will be in the hands of the Qi State, without worrying about being threatened by the Wei State, and at the same time, the troops are on the side of the Great Liang, and they can also contain the Wei State's troops from moving south."
"In this way, how does the king think, how should the Qin Kingdom respond?"
"Send troops to the Wei State to help fight against the Qi State."
"Not bad. In this way, the Qin State first wanted to relieve the siege of the Yong Clan, and then marched thousands of miles to fight against the Qi State near Pushui. At that time, our army had already withdrawn from Zhongshan. Even if the Qin State wanted to prevent our army from moving south to Puyang and occupy the Qin land on the north bank of Fenshui, it was no longer able to attack Handan. Even if our army is willing, it is completely possible to ambush the Qin army on the way back to Qin, and do a new battle of Kun, it is unknown! ”
