Two hundred and fifty-nine are interlocking

Fazheng's plan was very simple, first to exploit Weiss's long-standing dissatisfaction with Wei Yi to create distrust, and once the seeds of suspicion sprouted, it was only a matter of time before they would grow into towering trees.
The remaining 60,000 troops of Wei were all concentrated on the Xingyang front, and the country was empty at this time, leaving only tens of thousands of new troops and the old, weak, sick and disabled. As long as Zhao Guo made a move on the border of Chen Bing, under Wei Wuji's fanning of the flames, Wei Si would definitely order Wei Wei to divide his troops to rescue.
Zhao Yong is powerful and arrogant, and he will definitely not let go of things that can benefit him by doing things.
What Fang Li had to do was to intercept the messenger sent by Wei on the road from Wei to Xingyang, so that Wei Yi would "be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch without knowing it." β
The Wei army penetrated deep into the territory of the Tang State, and it was not impossible to intercept Weis's letters.
On the one hand, the army of Zhao Guo was pressing, on the other hand, the general did not listen to military orders, and at this time, thinking of the news that Fang Li sent people to send letters to Wei Yi from time to time, and then there was the misdirection of the law, Fang Li didn't believe that Wei Si could really trust Wei Yi to that extent.
When Wei Yu's 60,000 troops approached the city, Jia Xu's letter was finally delivered to Jia Xu, who was sent to Handan, in an expedited manner of 800 miles.
When he learned that Jia Xu asked to see him, Zhao Yong was practicing riding and archery with the soldiers in the horse farm on the outskirts of Handan, which was a habit he had developed since childhood.
"Tang Envoy asked to see again?" Zhao Yong grabbed the reins of the horse and showed a look of impatience, "Didn't the widow say that my big Zhao army is stretched thin and I can't help him Tang Kingdom?" β
When the general Guo Xin heard this, he stepped forward to hold the horse under Zhao Yong's crotch, and said with a smile: "The lord might as well meet, maybe Jia Wenhe has a new excuse?" β
"Haha, good! and the widow shall see. Zhao Yong laughed and turned over and dismounted, and asked people to put on the wine and meat, "Xuantang envoy come!" β
Jia Xu walked into the school field quickly, while secretly observing the training of Zhao Jun's soldiers, and secretly beware in his heart, Zhao Jun is well-trained, especially the cavalry can be called the elite of the elite, if he doesn't want to weaken the strength of Zhao State, he will definitely be the enemy of Tang State in the future.
The thoughts in his mind were racing, but Jia Xu didn't show anything on his face, and he walked to Zhao Yong with his head held high, and he saluted like a ceremony: "Tang envoy Jia Xu, I have seen Zhao Gong." β
"Okay, I've seen this many times." Zhao Yong waved his hand with a big grin, "Mr. is here again, is there anything new to tell the widow?" β
When the soldiers of the Zhao army sitting around heard this, they all laughed together, with a lofty attitude, clearly wanting to embarrass Jia Xu and retreat.
But Jia Xu just smiled faintly, took out the letter written by Fa Zheng from his sleeve, and did not hide it, and informed Zhao Yong of the plan drawn up by Fa Zheng as it was.
Zhao Yong took the letter, and said with a smile while reading it: "Duke Tang even sent a messenger to the Wei State? It seems that he was frightened, and he was going to confess to Weiss. Hahaha......"
Jia Xu shook his head imperceptibly, as if he was facing an ignorant child: "Zhao Gong, Zhao Gong, my Tang Kingdom is indeed in danger, but at this moment, Zhao Guo is not doing anything, isn't it waiting for Wei Jin, who is stronger after the destruction of Tang, to bite Zhao Guo in turn?" β
Zhao Yong snorted lightly, very disapproving.
Wei and Jin have already been emptied in half, this time they are holding back their strength to destroy Tang, even if they are lucky enough to be successfully destroyed by Wei Zhu and Wei Si, their little strength is almost exhausted, and Zhao State will send troops at that time, wouldn't it be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman?
This truth is obvious, and it is also the reason why Zhao Yong will not let go of his mouth no matter how Jia Xu knows how to reason with emotion.
Jia Xu didn't say much more, and quietly waited for Zhao Yong to read the letter.
thought that Fa Zheng's letter was just to persuade him to send troops, but Zhao Yong was at first glance and ten lines, and planned to quickly read it and send Jia Xu away. But I didn't expect that after a cursory browsing, I was attracted by Fazheng's idea, and I couldn't help but take a closer look.
Jia Xu saw clearly below, and persuaded while the iron was hot: "Zhao Gong, the truth of cold lips and teeth Zhao Gong is clear, if my Tang Dynasty is destroyed, Zhao State will be surrounded by enemy countries on all sides of Wei, Jin, Han, and Qi. At that time, without my Datang as a containment, if the four countries joined forces to attack Zhao, would Zhao Gong be able to resist it? β
"Xiaozhi's plan does not need Zhao Gong to send troops, just wait and see at the border of Chen Bing Zhao Wei, wait and see at the border when Wei Si is suspicious and changes generals, and divides troops to deal with the Zhao army at the border, at that time, my Tang army will take advantage of the victory to pursue, and will definitely be able to coerce Wei Si to sign an alliance under the city, and whether Zhao Guo wants to get a piece of the pie at that time depends on Zhao Gong's meaning."
Zhao Yongyi uncharacteristically did not interrupt Jia Xu's advice, and after listening to it, he handed the letter in his hand to the ministers who accompanied him, and asked, "Tang envoy Yan, what is the opinion of the secretaries?" β
The first to approve is Guo Xin, among the generals of Zhao State, he is one of the few generals who was in favor of sending troops to rescue Xingyang at the beginning, and at this time he also took the initiative to hold his fists and said: "Lord, the minister thinks that what the Tang envoy said is true, if the Tang State is really destroyed, my Zhao State will fall into a situation of encirclement on all sides, Qi Chu may take advantage of the fire to rob, but he will never be really good with my Zhao Guomeng." β
Zhao Yong lowered his head thoughtfully.
After reading Fa Zheng's letter, Zuo Shi Touchlong also trembled and stood up and arched his hand: "Lord, Tang Guo's strategy is feasible, if Wei Si does not move, my Zhao army only needs to wait at the border to work, if Wei Si moves, my big Zhao can take advantage of the fire to rob, and it is easy to get a large territory of Wei State!" β
After Guo Xin and the dragon were touched, the ministers of Zhao State also spoke out one after another, although there were a very few who still insisted that Zhao State should sit still and watch the tiger fight, but most of them were in favor of sending troops to the border.
After Zhao Yong weighed the pros and cons, he finally decided to pull Tang Guo's little brother, but it was not without requirements.
"Mr. Wenhe, my Zhao army sent troops to aid your Tang Kingdom, this grain and grass military resources?" Zhao Yong touched his beard with a smile, "Da Zhao has just participated in the three attacks on Jin, you see, the domestic grain and grass are also stretched..."
Jia Xu arched his hand: "Zhao Gong rest assured, once the siege of Xingyang is lifted, my lord will definitely have a big gift!" β
With Jia Xu's words, Zhao Yong was not polite, and firmly adhered to the style of Zhao Guo's lion's big mouth, and asked for 500,000 stones of grain and grass and 500 taels of gold as soon as he opened his mouth.
Jia Xu listened to it painfully, but his mouth agreed decisively, and his mind had already begun to figure out how to get rid of this account.
By the time Zhao finally relented, Wei Yu's army had already finished its tentative assault on Xingyang.
After discovering that the city was well defended and the morale of the soldiers and the people was high and they had the will to die, Wei Yi decided to adopt the tactics of besieging but not attacking, besieging Xingyang City to the death, and helping Wei to take Xingyang with the least loss of troops.
Fang Li, who saw Wei Yi's tactics, was overjoyed, and was originally worried that the Wei army would launch a fierce attack as soon as they arrived at Xingyang City, and would not give Fa Zheng Jia Xu's plan time to implement, but he didn't expect that Wei Yi, who used troops in an eclectic manner, finally chose the most conservative tactics, which was really in line with Fang Li's wishes.
On this day, Wei Yu was studying the possible breakthrough direction of the Tang army in front of the map, and his own soldiers outside the account suddenly came to report: "General, a letter from Tang Guo!" β
"Again?" Wei Yi frowned and took the letter, "What kind of trick is this time?" β
For three days in a row, Wei Yu received letters from the Tang army no less than twice a day, sometimes sending heralds to send them directly, sometimes asking the people along the way to bring them, and even worse, there were all kinds of ways to nail them to the trunks of trees on the road that the Wei army had to pass.
The people who wrote the letter were also famous generals and ministers of the Tang Kingdom, such as Dian Wei, Lu Bu, Liu Feng, Xu Huang, Gongsun Yan, and almost all the important ministers of the Tang State in Xingyang City were turned over.
The content is also varied, and there are those who care about Wei Yu's body; There is a good friendship agreement on the time of the next martial arts competition; concerned about whether the Wei army came from afar, whether the food was enough and needed support; Of course, there are also serious persuasions to surrender to the Tang Dynasty; And so on.
Sharp-minded as Wei Yu of course knew that this was Tang Jun's divisive plan, but there was no way, if he took the initiative to write to Daliang to clarify, the suspicious lord was afraid that he would directly sit down on his crime of collaborating with the enemy.
In desperation, Wei Yi had no choice but to pray that Weiss would not fall for the scheme.
When he opened the letter, Wei Yi's eyes widened in surprise, the content of the letter was still a persuasion with no new ideas, but what surprised him was the signing of the letter-Fang Li.
It turned out to be a letter from Tang Gong in person!
In the letter, Fang Li opened his heart to Wei Yi to talk about his ambition to dominate the world, and introduced the internal affairs and people's livelihood of the Tang Dynasty.
But of course, the small handwritten letter could not shake Wei Yu's belief in seizing Xingyang for the Great Wei, and the Wei army still surrounded Xingyang City like an iron bucket, and not even a bird could fly in.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and in the early morning of this day, Fang Li inspected the grain and grass armory in the city as usual, and climbed the city tower to boost the morale of the soldiers guarding the city.
The Tang soldiers on the city tower had long been accustomed to the lord appearing from time to time, and after someone set a precedent, they all talked to Fang Li at this time.
Fang Li chatted as he walked all the way, greeted his soldiers affectionately, and as he walked, his eyes suddenly fell on a young soldier on the lookout not far in front of him, who was meticulously paying attention to the movements of the Wei army.
The young soldier looked like he was no more than twelve or thirteen years old, his body had not yet begun to develop, and he could see from the silhouette that he was just a child, Fang Li frowned, and couldn't help but hold back his anger and ask Xu Huang who was following him: "Gongming, is Xingyang already in danger at this point?" Even children have to be pulled into battle?! β
"The lord is angry, please listen to the minister's explanation." Xu Huang touched his nose, he didn't seem to be too afraid, but his face was a little proud, "This kid knows that it's not the ministers who caught the strong man and caught the baby's head, this kid is the youngest son of a head of the military department, and he was driven into the barracks by his father, and said that he had to let him go to the front line, but the minister really had no choice, so he placed him on the lookout." β
