Chapter Ninety-Nine: Restless (Asking for Recommendation)
"Alas......" a soft sigh came from the cave after Cher left. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
……
Early the next morning.
Above the court of the Wei State, the ministers gathered.
King Wei Hui sat on the throne and no longer had the worries of the past, he faced the ministers, and said loudly to the ministers below: "Do you have something to do with Aiqing?" ”
That indifferent look seemed to be in a good mood.
On the side of the main hall below, Xiangguo Huishi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, was surprisingly the first to stand up this time.
I saw him step out and said loudly: "The minister has something to report to the king." ”
"Well, Hui Aiqing has something to ask."
"As far as the minister knows, the general is not in the army now. But the news sent back by Yicheng said that the general was in command of the battle in the army. This matter may be suspected of deceiving the king, and the minister implores the king to investigate. ”
The short words suddenly caused an uproar in the court. Almost as soon as Hui Shi finished the first sentence, most of the courtiers except Chen Zhen looked at Hui Shi for the first time.
Even King Wei Hui on the throne was so shocked that his mouth opened slightly, stared at Hui Shi for a long time, and then asked in disbelief: "Hui Aiqing, this matter is very important, you don't have to say the words of the child as a true thing in this court." As far as few people know, you have never had any contact with Wu Aiqing, so how do you know that he is not in the army? ”
"Wei Chen heard about this." Hui Shi was still unhurried, long before he made this decision, he knew that no one in the court would prove anything for him, and he also knew the situation he might face.
But at the same time, he also knew another point, that is, King Wei Hui was suspicious by nature, although he would not be able to do it on the surface, but behind his back, he had a private relationship with King Hui, and Hui Shi also touched eight or nine things.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, but since he knows the character of this tiger, sometimes it is not so terrible: "Your Majesty, Weichen has no intention of deceiving the king, and one of Weichen's disciples learned that 40,000 of the 60,000 foot soldiers under the general went to Yicheng, but the other 20,000 did not arrive in Fangcheng, and the defenders who went to Fangcheng were only 5,000 foot soldiers. ”
"Five thousand foot soldiers?"
"Only 5,000 foot soldiers to resist 60,000 Zhao troops ready to go? Is he crazy? ”
For a time, the palace was in an uproar. The ministers talked a lot, but the face of King Hui of Wei became a lot darker.
"Since there are only 5,000 defenders heading to Fangcheng, does Hui Aiqing know where the other 15,000 or so soldiers have gone? With so many people disappearing, is it possible that the CD was hidden by Wu Aiqing? Coldly, there was already some anger in King Wei Hui's tone.
The courtiers stopped whispering, and everyone was silent at this moment. Only Chen Zhen shook her head silently.
He thought that Gongzi Wei would report the matter to King Wei Hui as soon as possible. After all, Gongzi is arrogant and good-willed, and he wants to be a great general and become famous all over the world, and he still has a reason to guess about Wu Ming.
What about Benefit? The position is already expensive for Xiangguo, and he is old, and he is not far from death, if he wants to move to a political enemy, but Wu Ming did not do anything to him, on the contrary, Wu Ming's measures on the matter of conscription and recuperation are very reasonable.
If you really listened to Hui Shi's amnesty a few months ago, the world banned conscription. So today, Han and Zhao swore an alliance to defeat Wei, who would retreat from the armies of these two countries.
Chen Zhen really couldn't think of anything that Hui Shi had to do against Wu Ming.
At this time, Hui Shi listened to King Hui's angry voice, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and because he knew that King Wei Hui was not necessarily angry with him Hui Shi, but also because of Wu Ming.
"Wechen implores the gentleman to be clear, if this matter is really a joke of a child on the street, Wechen is willing to bear all the punishments under these words."
In the face of Hui Shi's desperate actions, Mo said that it was Chen Zhen, and even King Wei Hui's heart faintly began to waver.
Finally, in an extremely depressing atmosphere, Wei Hui Wang Qiang suppressed the irritability in his heart, and asked aloud: "The widow will send someone to investigate this matter." Do you have any other things to do? ”
Silence.
"Do you have anything to report?" King Wei Hui raised his voice again and asked loudly.
But this time there was still no one talking.
After two breaths, King Wei Hui waved his hand, propped himself on top of a few cases and stood up directly, "Retreat." ”
……
At this moment, Fangcheng in the north of Wei State had entered a wartime state.
As early as a few hours ago, 60,000 Zhao troops crossed the river with the late night yesterday, and the entire army died down directly under Zhao Yong's orders, taking advantage of the darkness of the night to quietly take the siege equipment all the way to a place five miles away from Fangcheng, only to be discovered by the Wei army scouts.
When the Wei scouts reported the matter to Zhang Meng, who was about to rest in the city lord's mansion, Zhao Jun had already appeared three miles away from Fangcheng.
Taking advantage of the dark night, Zhao Yong gave an order, and 60,000 Zhao troops marched from the north gate of Fangcheng with overwhelming momentum, and suddenly attacked the city when the Wei army was caught off guard in the dark night.
But unfortunately, when Zhao Yong thought that the Wei army was defenseless, the Wei army that was actually guarding Fangcheng was very energetic. Under Zhang Meng's order, the 5,000 soldiers defending the city put down all their training tasks and waited for a bloody battle.
With the sound of the horn, the originally empty walls of Fangcheng were already filled with Wei soldiers in a very short time. Just waiting for a bloody battle when the Zhao army is in the city.
At this time, the Zhao army encountered some trouble because the snow outside the city had not completely melted, and the march had an impact.
The ladder truck was extremely difficult, and in desperation, Zhao Yong could only order to give up the ladder car and use an ordinary ladder to carry it forward with several soldiers.
Along the way, the army marched extremely fast, but until it was only thirty steps away from the city wall, the Zhao soldiers in the vanguard only felt that their feet were smooth, and nine out of ten soldiers fell to the ground during the run.
The snow on the ground followed the legs of the fallen soldiers into the air, and after a plopping sound, hundreds of soldiers in the vanguard of the Zhao army had already fallen one piece, and at this time, the army in the rear was desperately rushing forward.
Poor soldiers who fell to the ground were trampled on as a carpet.
In this way, every time Zhao Jun took a step forward, the corpses of hundreds of soldiers had to be used as carpets to prevent slipping.
At the same time, they have to face a constant rain of arrows shooting down overhead.
Zhao Yuanque, the general who finally led the army to charge and attack the city under the city wall, found that the ice at the root of the city was already thick, and the ordinary cloud ladder had no focus at all at this time.
The ladder was useless, and the soldiers naturally could not fly up the city wall out of thin air. Coupled with the continuous throwing of rolling logs by the Wei army on the city wall, watching the casualties continue to worsen, Zhao Yuan had to let people blow the horn of retreat.
Now in the early morning, the sky is bright, and the Zhao army has retreated to a place thirty miles outside the city to set up camp, and set up a stove to make a fire, and start the day's breakfast.
