Chapter 144: Change
Looking at the soldiers of the Wei State who were leaving quickly on the city tower and the growing firelight burning under the city, Zhao Yuan's face was not to mention how ugly it was. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
A gust of wind swept by, and at this moment, a burst of burnt paste and the smell of barbecued meat faintly wafted into Zhao Jun's queue.
"You, go down to the city and see what's going on." Zhao Yuan, who was angry, grabbed a soldier behind him and said.
"Me?"
"What? You want to disobey military orders. ā
"The subordinates don't dare, so the subordinates will go to investigate-"
Under Zhao Yuan's coercion and temptation, the soldier had to quickly run to the bottom of the city tower and watch quietly.
After a while, the soldier returned very quickly, stumbling along the way, and he was obviously frightened by his appearance.
"Gift...... General Yu, the Wei army is burning the corpses under the city. ā
"On the upper floor of the city, is there still Wei Jun?"
"This ......" The soldier hesitated for a moment, and it took him a long time before he said under Zhao Yuan's fierce appearance: "This! The subordinates don't know either. The smoke under the city was too big, and the subordinates didn't see it clearly. ā
"Didn't see clearly? Rubbish...... It's really a waste ......" In an instant, Zhao Yuan had already scolded.
Meanwhile. Most of the Wei army had already assembled outside the south gate.
On the south tower of Fengcheng, more than a dozen Wei soldiers tied to the pillars of the city tower with cloth and slid down the city wall.
After everyone came down, Wu Ming, who was waiting below, asked one person, "Can the city gate be blocked from the inside?" ā
"It's all in accordance with the general's orders."
"Yes, that's good. Go home. ā
After the words fell, Wu Ming looked at a soldier holding a torch beside him, and stretched out his hand to point to the cloth that had been fished.
Then the soldier had already understood, and gradually set the cloth on fire with a torch.
ā¦ā¦
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Yuan, who was holding back his belly, hurriedly assembled an army and surrounded Jingfeng City after getting Zhao Yong's permission.
At this moment, the fireworks outside the city have long been extinguished, and the original gray wall has become dark at this time. The huge city is full of dilapidated scenes at this time.
In the several phalanxes gathered together, the flags were cold. Every soldier held his head high and was full of energy.
But at this time, Zhao Yuan, who was standing at the forefront of the army, did not have the slightest joy, because at this time, there was no shadow of a Wei soldier on the city tower.
The city wall was bare, and there was no place where the Wei army flag was planted.
"It's a pity, General Zhao's plan to capture General Wei alive is about to fail." Zhao Yong, who didn't expect things to turn out like this, frowned at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Looking at it, the Wei army should have abandoned the city and fled." ā
It's no wonder that Zhao Yong's choice last night was hasty, the last threshold of the beam, who would have thought that the Wei army would abandon the city and flee at this time!
Otherwise, after a night of torture, the Wei army at this time must have been extremely weak. Siege will inevitably reduce casualties.
At this time, Zhao Yuan just clenched his fists fiercely and didn't say a word.
Glancing to the side lightly, Zhao Yong waved his hand and said to the generals beside him: "Pass the order, the army will march together, and go to the north gate to observe first, so as not to deceive in the city." ā
"The Last General's Order."
After a while, the entire army was divided into two phalanxes, surrounding Zhao Yong, Zhao Yuan and other generals in the middle, and all the soldiers marched together.
Outside the south gate, the charred corpses were all over the place, and although it had been a night, it still exuded a strong pungent smell.
"Your Highness, there is no movement on the city tower, the city gate was broken by our army yesterday, and now it is still the same, the Wei army has not repaired it, and the passage is still full of earth and stones. Do we climb the tower with a ladder? A soldier hurried after finding out what was going on.
"No need, the army mobilizes the direction of the wind and goes to the south gate."
The southern wall was still blackened by fire.
"Up."
With Zhao Yong's wave of his hand, a team of soldiers began to collide with the south gate with the bumping wood.
After a while, the loess inside the door slowly flowed out because of the loosening of the door. Apparently the city gates have been gambled again.
There was silence all around. It was only at this time that Zhao Yong helplessly glanced at the top of the empty city tower, and said lightly: "Build a cloud ladder and climb the city!" ā
At this time, there was no Wei soldier in the city, and there were no Wei people.
Everything you can take with you is gone. What can't be taken away is even some miscellaneous things that have been burned clean with fire. This city was obviously left to the Zhao people for them.
Moreover, there were several corpses of Zhao Jun scattered on every city tower, and the faint smell made all the soldiers who climbed the city tower nauseous.
Zhao Yuan was even more hateful, "If the city had been attacked at dusk yesterday, there wouldn't have been so many things!" ā
ā¦ā¦
Weidu Liang.
In the court, the ministers were in turmoil, but none of them stood up and said some domestic things seriously.
What they are talking about in private is nothing more than how the Zhao army is, nothing more than the safety of the Wei State, as well as their own safety.
In this regard, King Wei Hui didn't say anything, just leaned on his position quietly, squinting his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking,
"Your Majesty," a guard hurriedly rushed in, kneeling down and arching his hand, "My army has withdrawn from Jingfeng, and is now resting in the Liang Confinement. ā
"What?"
As soon as these words came out, there were more whispers among the ministers, and the voices gradually became louder.
"Is it the Zhao army that broke through Jingfeng City?" Situ Zhuwei looked at the guard with a surprised face and asked uneasily.
"This last general is not particularly clear, so the scout came to report that the Zhao army did not attack Jingfeng City, but the general withdrew his troops privately and gave up Jingfeng."
"This ...... That's great! Great general, isn't he confused! Without Jingfeng City, wouldn't Zhao Jun directly march into my Daliang? ā
"That's it, that's it......"
Talk.
At this moment, King Wei Hui on the throne also slowly opened his eyes, his expression looked confused, but there was not the slightest annoyance in his eyes.
That look was still calm.
"Your Majesty, the general's move ......" Zhu Wei suddenly stood up with a shocked face.
was about to speak, but saw Wei Hui Wang wave his hand fiercely, stared at him and said, "Okay." If you have any objections, you can go to the battlefield in person to fight with the Zhao army, and if you win, you will definitely serve as a national teacher. ā
Although he didn't listen to these courtiers anymore, King Hui was also not angry with these people. Since the negotiation with Wu Ming, King Hui's whole person has become much calmer, and he is no longer so easily angry. But the opinions of the ministers are no longer as reconsidered as before.
"Spring will soon come, for the sake of the prime minister beware of the world, Hui Aiqing will pay more attention to the suffering of my people from today onwards, whether the court can help the people or not, but as long as it is related to the suffering of all living beings, no matter how big or small things will be reported.
Chen Aiqing and the general in Hedong built a good field has been seen, this, can be implemented throughout the country, if Aiqing has leisure can study first, make a reform report how to do or wait for the general to defeat the Zhao army in the decision.
Ladies and gentlemen, if there is nothing else to do, let's stop here today. ā
"Minister, respect the king's order."
After Hui Shi and Chen Zhen reasoned with each other, King Wei Hui looked around at the courtiers, and after seeing that no one stood up again, he said: "Retreat from the dynasty." ā
Immediately afterwards, there was a sharp voice from the eunuch: "Retreat from the dynasty-"
After leaving the court, King Wei Hui was about to go to Liang to find Wu Ming. Just when I was walking to Ganquan Palace, I happened to meet Wu Ming who was coming on.
The eunuch who led the way retreated to the side after saluting, and at this moment, Wu Ming quickly stepped forward and said, "The last general, see my king." ā
"I heard that Aiqing withdrew the army and returned to Liang, and the widow wanted to go to Aiqing to see the military situation, but I didn't want Aiqing to come. Aiqing is quickly exempt. With a natural smile on his face, King Wei Hui personally walked in front of Wu Ming and stretched out his hand to him.
King Hui was able to be so calm, which made Wu Ming a little surprised for a while.
"Thank you." After Wu Ming thanked him, he bowed slowly.
At this moment, King Wei Hui pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "The military affairs are busy, Aiqing is here, could it be that there is something to help the widow?" ā
"The last general privately ordered to abandon Jingfeng City, and now the army has withdrawn to Liang, and I ask the king to forgive his sins. In addition, there are some things that I hope the king can promise to the last general. ā
"Something else?" King Hui blinked his eyes twice, and he didn't know whether he intentionally or unintentionally made the word "some" heavier.
"Since Aiqing is here, can you talk about it with this king's palace?"
"Thank you for your love." Wu Ming responded, bowed slightly and stretched out his hand, "Your Excellency, please." ā
In the palace, it was unusually cold, and only two green lights emitted a leisurely firelight.
"The retreat of the army has been heard of. Zhao Jun is menacing, and I think Aiqing also has other ideas before doing this. But I don't know what Aiqing wants the widow to do? After taking his seat, King Wei Hui was the first to ask Wu Ming.
"Back to the king, the last general observed, through the Feng City in the city of the need for arrows, boulders, rolling wood and other things are seriously lacking, 40,000 now the remaining 40,000 Zhao army is violent, if the siege, there is no city defense reserves, my 10,000 army is only afraid of the fierce and auspicious, so the last general privately decided to preserve the strength of my Wei State, and privately withdrew the army."
"This?" King Hui listened to what Wu Ming said, but he thought quietly for a moment, but he was not angry, but asked lightly: "But in this way, Zhao Jun can directly attack my Liang Yuan!" I don't know what Aiqing said about preserving the strength of my Wei State, how can I talk about it? ā
"There are still a lot of military affairs to defend the city in Liang, and my Liang Yu city is high and deep, easy to defend and difficult to attack, the ordinary ladder of the Zhao army can not climb my Liang Yuan at all, the last general thinks that the Zhao army will not attack the city in a short time, even if the city is attacked, with 40,000 troops at night, there will be no results.
The reason why the last general advocated retaining strength is also for the future consideration of our Wei State, at present, the Qin army is still eyeing our Hexi, and the Koreans have lost Xincheng, although the current strength of South Korea is not good, but it is not possible to ensure when the troops will be sent behind the back.
And right now, what Zhao Jun wants is just a soft word from my king. ā
"What does Aiqing mean by this, in order to avoid future disasters? Also make the widow soft? "In the end, it is the king of a country, even if it changes, when it comes to real events, King Hui, who is arrogant in his bones, can't help but be a little unhappy.
Wu Ming naturally heard what King Hui meant.
After a faint smile, he bowed his hand slightly and said: "Ma Shan is ridden, people are weak and easy to be bullied, my king naturally does not have to be soft to Zhao Jun, if he is soft, it will be the opposite of what the end will consider for my Wei State, and retain the strength of my army is not so hard, in order to leave fangs, so as to tell the future land, my Great Wei is not easy to bully." How can you be subdued? ā
Looking at Wu Ming's calmness, King Hui was a little confused at this time: "What does Aiqing mean?" ā
"This is what the last general has asked my king to do." After a deep bow, Wu Ming put away his smile and said solemnly: "My Wei State has been captured by Zhao State for dozens of cities, if it is not for Jingfeng is the last city in the north of Daliang, even if Jingfeng is the last city in the north of Daliang, even if it falls to Jingfeng City, I am afraid that my king will not be too worried, the king is worried about the safety of Daliang, and when will the Zhao people be completely driven out of my Wei country."
Here, the last general can assure the king that the girder will not be affected, and please rest assured. In addition, the last general Wangjun sent envoys to the Qi State, so that the King of Qi could send troops to relieve the siege of our Daliang, and my Wei State could no longer hurt a single soldier. ā
"Ask King Qi for help?" While saying this, King Hui's face still became a little ugly.
The State of Qi sent troops to destroy the good deeds of the Wei State, although they were all under the banner of justice in the world, although the two countries did not really declare war, but the State of Qi destroyed the tens of thousands of troops of the Wei State. Now that he asked for help from Qi Guo, King Hui's face was naturally not good-looking.
"This! Aiqing also knows the origin of my Wei State and Qi State, and letting the widow ask for help from Qi State is really no different from serving Zhao State! ā
"My king has misunderstood the meaning of the general." Listening to King Hui's angry words with complaints, Wu Ming laughed in his heart, reached out and took out a piece of cloth from the armor on his chest, Wu Ming made a gesture with both hands, and said loudly: "The last general just asked my king to send someone to ask the king of Qi to help me, not to ask the king of Qi." This is a document to be drafted at the end, and if the king thinks it is reasonable, he can persuade the king of Qi to persuade the ministers. ā
As soon as the words fell, the eunuch who was guarding the side carefully took the so-called document from Wu Ming's hand and handed it to King Wei Hui.
After flipping over the documents and reading them, I saw King Hui nodding continuously, "Well, this is reasonable, according to Aiqing's words, the widow immediately sent someone to persuade King Qi." ā
"The last general, Xie Jun, is gracious."
"Aiqing, why do you need to say thank you! This is the state affair of my Wei State, and the widow can have Aiqing to help, which is the blessing of the widow, and Lao Aiqing will bother to guard Liang Yuan. If there is anything else that needs to be done by the widows of the ward, the widows will certainly do their best to help. ā
