Chapter 782: Changping Guan Deliberations
On the third day of October in the fourth year of the Marquis of Wei, the Wei army was stationed in Changpingguan.
At this time, the weather has begun to get colder, and this is still the Central Plains region, if you are in Wu'an, I am afraid that you can see the snow.
Although it was very uncomfortable, Wei Wuji, as the monarch, still had to get up early and hold a military meeting in the main tent of the Changping camp.
When Wei Wuji walked into the military tent, all the generals were already waiting here, and when they saw the arrival of the monarch, they all paid a big salute.
Outside, these people were majestic generals, but in front of Wei Wuji, they could only be loyal courtiers, and they didn't dare to be happy at all.
This military meeting was very important, so the main generals of the Xiguan and Changping camps appeared.
Among them, Wang Xiuchen Zhan, who has been commanding operations in Qindi for a long time, shows that the military discussion covers a wide range.
Now that the main force of the Qin State has been defeated, the two counties have been lost one after another, and the losses have been heavy, and they have completely lost their strategic initiative and can barely maintain their defense.
If it weren't for the exhaustion of the Wei army, I'm afraid that the Qin State would not even be able to maintain its defenses, so Wang Xiu and the others could leave the front line with confidence.
After Wei Wuji sat down, the thing he was most concerned about was also the war in Qindi, and immediately asked Wang Xiu and the two to make a report.
According to the two of them, Wei Wuji had a detailed understanding of Qindi's movements, and also provided him with a reference for making his next decision.
To put it simply, the two counties of Fufeng Beidi, which the Wei army is currently occupying, are still in the stage of extreme hostility of the Qin people, and there may be a major rebellion at any time.
Therefore, after occupying these two counties, Wei could no longer wage war against Qin, unless it really digested the Fufeng Northland.
After listening to the report of Wang Xiu and others, Wei Wuji also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but the extreme hostility of the people below was just that, thinking that the Wei army would still be able to stabilize the situation.
When Wang Xiu and the others listened to the instructions, Wei Wuji smiled and said, "You have done a good job, and the widow is very satisfied!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xiu and the others were also relieved, only with the approval of the monarch can what they do be meaningful.
Seeing the happy looks on the faces of the two, Wei Wuji followed up and said, "Listen......"
Wang Xiu and the others hurriedly put away their joy, and at the same time, they secretly blamed themselves in their hearts, how could they get carried away!
Wei Wuji continued: "The widow of Qin Land will be handed over to you, and if there is no accident within three years, the widow will be rewarded!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Xiu and Chen Zhan's hearts sank, and even the joy in Fang Cai's hearts was dispelled a lot.
Although Wei Wuji's words said that Qin Di would have a heavy reward if he didn't mess up for three years, the opposite meaning of this was that there would be a heavy penalty if Qin Di changed within three years.
The more the monarch attached importance to the affairs of Qindi, the more Wang Xiu and the others felt that the burden on their shoulders was heavier.
Seeing the solemnity on Wang Xiu's faces, Wei Wuji asked, "Do you have any doubts?" ”
Although Qin was defeated by Wei, he was a great power in the world after all, so the pressure on Wang Xiu and the others was still relatively large.
But at this time, it is precisely the time to test their talents, even Wang Xiu and Chen Zhan Alexander can only say loudly at this time: "The ministers receive the order, and there is no doubt about it!" ”
Once the affairs of Qin Di were arranged, Wei Wuji turned his gaze to the map hanging on his side, and then he pointed to Zheng Guo on it and said, "The people of Qin were beaten down by us, and now Zheng Guo is going to jump out, what should I do?" ”
The generals below looked at each other, and then saw Hu Hansan stand up and said: "Your Majesty, this is needless to say, of course, it is to send a large army to destroy Zheng Guo!" ”
In recent days, Wei has destroyed three countries, which made Hu Hansan and others feel that it is not bad to destroy the country, so he opened his mouth to destroy Zheng Guo.
But those who think a little more will know that Zheng Guo's matter is not so simple, and Qi Guo behind him is the big trouble.
The state of Qi is also a great power in the world, and it has not been hit hard like the state of Qin and Wu, so it is a great threat to the current state of Wei.
At present, the Wei army is tired, and at this time, it is a big threat for the Qi State to jump out, because the pressure of grain and grass is still restricting the Wei State.
If it's just Zheng Guo, it doesn't seem like a big deal to kill him, the key depends on how much Qi Guo is willing to support Zheng Guo.
Everyone didn't speak, Wei Wuji pointed to Zheng Chang in front of him and said, "General, you can talk about it!" ”
And Hu Hansan, who was stunned in place, retreated under the forced gaze of Wei Wuji.
Zheng Chang, who was named, was a little caught off guard, but his years of battlefield experience made him quickly calm down, and then quickly sorted out his thoughts.
Under Wei Wuji's gaze, Zheng Chang said slowly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zheng Guo's army is not enough to worry about, the key is to see whether the Qi State is watching on the sidelines, whether they will send troops directly!" ”
Everything was estimated at the worst, so Wei Wuji said, "If the Qi State directly sends troops, what should we do?" ”
After Zheng Chang thought about it, he said: "Your Majesty, if the Qi State sends less than 50,000 troops, our army will be fearless, if it exceeds this number, it will be tricky!" ”
In fact, Zheng Chang's words are nonsense, if the Qi State only takes 50,000 troops, it will definitely not pose a threat to the existing tens of thousands of troops in Changping Pass and Xiguan.
So Wei Wuji said directly: "There is already news ahead, there are already 80,000 troops assembled on the border of Qi State!" ”
Regarding Tian Yuwen's choice, Wei Wuji really felt that he couldn't understand it!
The 80,000 Qi army said that it was a lot less, but it was definitely not too much, and it was enough to say how much damage they wanted to cause to the Wei State.
Since Tian Yuwen chose to do it, then he should show the courage to fight against the water, instead of using this kind of means.
Wei Wuji knew that in addition to the great enemy of Wei, Tian Yuwen also had to guard against the power of the family in the country.
The State of Qi is not like Qin Wei, who can exert all his strength in one place.
It can be said that after Qi State took over by Tian Yuwen, the main energy of the country was concentrated on internal fighting, resulting in Qi State not making great achievements in the past seven or eight years.
After explaining the actions of the Qi State, Wei Wuji said to the generals in the account: "My Great Wei has been fighting continuously for a year, and we should have recuperated at this time, but the people of the Qi State don't plan to let us rest in peace!" ”
"So the widow decided to take the initiative and teach Qi people a hard lesson, as well as the Zheng Guoren who didn't know the times!" Wei Wuji said hatefully.
Take the initiative? When the generals in the military tent heard this, they still felt a little incredible.
Now that the national strength of Wei is exhausted, it is safest to choose to let go at this time, and it is very risky to take the initiative to start a war with the people of Qi.
Therefore, Zheng Chang said at this time: "Your Majesty, now that my country's material consumption is huge, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support the army to fight, and our army has a big river and natural danger, why should we take the initiative to attack?" ”
When Zheng Chang said this, the generals in the tent all pinched a cold sweat for him, and no one dared to question the monarch.
In fact, Zheng Chang also hung in his heart when he said these words, and it would not be good if he gave the monarch the impression of being afraid of war.
But as the highest-ranking man here, these words of exhortation must also be spoken by him.
Zheng Chang has already ascended to the position of a general, but he doesn't want to stop there, and he also wants to gather together in the position of General Zhuguo.
If you want to go to a higher position, you must reflect greater value, and unconditionally agreeing with the monarch will not reflect your own value.
Hearing Zheng Chang's questioning, Wei Wuji didn't feel angry, and he planned to argue with Zheng Chang.
So Wei Wuji said: "If you blindly defend, the people of Qi will not be relentless, and it will be difficult for the southern border to be stable for a few years, which will not only have a great impact on our country's recuperation, but also be extremely unfavorable to the stability of Qindi!" ”
"Therefore, we must send troops, the Qi people are hurting, they will honestly put away their claws, and my Great Wei can sit back and relax!" Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.
It can also be seen from these words that Wei Wuji's tone for Wei in the next few years is cultivation, so he will eliminate the threat at once.
After listening to Wei Wuji's considerations, Zheng Chang had nothing to say, because the monarch had already made up his mind.
At this time, Wei Wuji looked at Zheng Chang and said, "General! ”
Zheng Chang bowed down at this time and said, "The minister is here!" ”
Wei Wuji said: "The widow intends to let you lead the army and fight against the Qi country, what do you think?" ”
In fact, Zheng Chang really wanted to refuse this proposal, and this battle was destined to be difficult to fight.
But Zheng Chang also knew that as long as he won this battle, it would be a great help for his promotion to Zhuguo. And if you refuse, I'm afraid you won't want to fight again in the future.
Therefore, Zheng Chang could only bite the bullet at this time and say: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to lead the troops to fight in the Qi country!" ”
Wei Wuji nodded, and then said to Zheng Chang: "Don't worry, the widow will send an army of 60,000 to you, and it will not be difficult to defeat the Qi State!" ”
With an army of 60,000, Zheng Chang's heart was only a little calmer, so that he could at least survive until midwinter, and then the battle would not be able to continue.
In fact, although Wei Wuji was talking about hurting Qi Guo, this was just a scene, and his plan was to survive until the cold winter, and then the war would subside.
And hearing that Zheng Chang presided over the battle against Qi State, Zhang Qingshan, as Zheng Chang's deputy, smiled in his heart, so that he would have the opportunity to lead the Xiguan camp.
