Chapter 39 The State of Chu Sends Troops

When Jin realized that this might be a conspiracy carefully set up by South Korea, he naturally became more and more cautious. Therefore, after the 15,000 people of the front army were wiped out, there were constantly some people who shouted to avenge the front army, but they were all stopped by Jin Contempt. Before clarifying the specific situation, Jin Contempt did not plan to continue the siege. Otherwise, no one knows what kind of unexpected surprise Han Jun prepared for Wei Jun. On the same day, the Wei army retreated for twenty miles and set up camp. Xinzheng had a chance to breathe.

In Xinzheng City, there is no tense atmosphere of being besieged at all. A great victory in the easy annihilation of 15,000 Wei troops made Xinzheng extraordinarily jubilant and relieved all the defenders. The Han army realized that the Wei army was actually nothing more than that. The original fear was swept away, replaced by a strong self-confidence.

In fact, there are only 40,000 defenders in Xinzheng today, but many Korean troops believe that as long as General Meng (骜) allows them to leave the station, they can completely defeat the Wei army outside the city in one go, although they are twice as many as themselves. But after today's battle, the Wei army has been frightened, although the Wei army does not admit it, but they have indeed lost the heart of Xinzheng. This is the effect of morale on an army!

It's just that in the face of the invitation of his soldiers to fight, Meng Fu had to be the same as Jin Contempt, and they all refused. Even if his subordinates make a military order, no matter how flawless his subordinates' ideas are! Because Meng Fu always knew that the time was not ripe for a counterattack before the Wei army was completely in a state of panic.

Wei State, Great Liang.

Ever since Jin Cong led an army of 100,000 to attack Xinzheng, the king of Wei was like sitting on pins and needles, restless. This was not because he was worried that the operation would fail, but that the king of Wei was very eager to hope that the good news that Xinzheng would be conquered or that Korea would cede land and sue for peace would come sooner. The kings of Wei in the past dynasties all wanted to restore the hegemony of the Marquis of Wei Wenhou and Marquis Wu of Wei, and the current King of Wei is the closest person. As long as South Korea is swallowed by the Wei State Whale. Then Wei will dominate the Central Plains. Surrender to Zhao to the north, conquer Qi to the east, suppress Chu to the south, and confront Qin to the west. At such an exciting moment, how could King Wei not be excited?! I was very excited, and naturally I didn't want to eat.

this day. King Wei called Xin Lingjun over, asked the other party to play chess with him, polish the time, and knock Xin Lingjun by the way, so that he realized that he was the king of Wei. After all, Xinlingjun has too many customers, which has also earned him a good reputation and reached the point of fame all over the world. In the opinion of King Wei. Xinlingjun's temperament is a bit forward-looking, and whenever he plans and decides, King Wei thinks that his "decisive killing" temperament is the true character of a monarch. It's just that King Wei completely forgot that his so-called "decisive killing" is actually to go on when he sees interests, and when he sees danger, he wants to escape, and he tends to be inflammatory!

The two chatted casually about the current situation, saying things that were not nutritious, and Xinlingjun was bored and wanted to retire! It's late March. It is the busiest time in the country. In addition, Wei is using troops everywhere, and various things need to be coordinated. King Wei, a king who is accustomed to being the shopkeeper, is naturally idle. But Xinlingjun, as the prime minister of Wei, did not have much time to delay here. Looking at King Wei's gushing posture, I am afraid that the two monarchs and ministers will have to talk until it gets dark, and then Xinling Jun can get out, just like two days ago.

Just when Xinling Jun Nuonuo said yes and was absent-minded, the eunuch Ling hurriedly broke in. Xin Lingjun realized that the eunuch Ling's expression was very flustered. I watched the eunuch order go out with my own eyes just now. It's only a blink of an eye. The eunuch made the originally ruddy face turn iron-blue, and beads of sweat the size of beans continued to flow, and his steps were soft, which was definitely caused by too much nervousness and fear! This means that something great has definitely happened in the Wei State. It must not be a good thing!

Sure enough, King Wei unfolded the song and looked at it, and his face changed drastically. The conversation and laughter of Fang Cai were fleeting, replaced by trepidation. Xin Lingjun said with concern: "Your Majesty! ”

Only then did King Wei react and said to Xin Lingjun: "Prime Minister! Chu...... The State of Chu sent 200,000 troops to attack! Then he handed it to Shinling-kun.

Without waiting for Xinlingjun to react, King Wei stood up suddenly, walked back and forth, and muttered: "No! No way! It's too late to recruit an army! The widow wants to transfer the army back from Korea immediately! Otherwise, the girder will be in danger! ”

Xin Lingjun glanced at ten lines, and finally learned why King Wei was so frightened. A few days ago, under the mediation of South Korea, Wei and Chu agreed to suspend their troops, and 10,000 Korean troops were stationed in Xinyan, between Juyang and Chen County, as a place to supervise the storage of the two countries. After Wei made up its mind to attack Xinzheng, it was naturally wary of Chu in the south, for fear that Chu would intervene in the Central Plains and spoil Wei's good deeds. Therefore, a Wei division quietly went south to monitor the movements of the Chu army. I don't want to be able to repel the invading Chu army, but I want to delay for a while to give Wei time to react.

If the twist and turn of this warning letter came from this partial division, then the king of Wei would not be so panicked, after all, the Chu army was still 800 miles away from Daliang, and the Wei State could calmly deploy defenses and intercept layer by layer. But the problem now is that this letter came from Changping (Changping of Wei, dozens of miles northwest of Chen County). It is said that the 200,000 troops of the Chu State crossed Yingshui and caught Changping off guard, and Changping was already lost. The army of Chu is moving north along the chasm, and the king of Wei is asked to prepare quickly.

What does this mean? This means that the 200,000 Chu army bypassed the layers of defense set up by the Wei State south of Changping and entered the heartland of the Wei State! The Chu army was only less than four hundred miles away from Daliang! The most important thing is that on both sides of the chasm, Wei did not have a large army stationed at all! The 200,000 Chu army can completely enter the realm of no one and go straight to Daliang! Even if you recruit an army from a nearby city, it's too late! What's even more deadly is that the girder is now empty! Because most of the elites were taken out by Jin Contempt to attack Xinzheng!

What to do?! This is a moment of life and death for the Wei State! There is no room for chance! Even if the Chu army falsely claimed to be an army of 200,000, the actual number must be more than 100,000, or even close to 150,000! The Chu army didn't come early or late, but it came at this time, and it was Changping that was won by crossing Yingshui, and the king of Wei and the king of Xinling detected the danger signal!

Because Wei occupied the area east of Yingshui, the west of Yingshui was owned by Korea, or Chu raided Runan County in Korea. Then cross the river; Either South Korea took the initiative to take advantage of the road and let the Chu army attack Changping without much effort. In the eyes of the two, the latter is extremely likely. The reason is very simple, South Korea has no less army in Runan County than the army deployed by Wei in the south of Changping, and if Korea does not borrow the road, it will be for the Chu army. Both roads are equally difficult. In the case of offending the Wei State, it is impossible for the Chu State to provoke South Korea again! The answer is about to come out, that is, South Korea took the initiative to borrow the way.

This is the reason for the panic of the King of Shangwei! South Korea allowed the state of Chu to borrow in such a short period of time, and the state of Chu recruited 200,000 troops in such a short period of time, and it seems that all of them were premeditated! Without premeditation, it can't explain the current danger of Wei State! Just as Han and Chu knew that the Wei State betrayed Korea and sent troops to attack Xinzheng, the two countries reached a consensus. That is, the state of Chu launched the most suitable war at the most suitable time and in the right place! The 200,000 Chu army surrounded Daliang in one fell swoop, not only could they recover the lost land, but they could also cut countless lands from the Wei State for nothing! South Korea can also make a profit! You can easily entangle your own 100,000 troops, even if you let go of the 100,000 Wei army, you can pursue all the way, combine the forces of Han and Chu, and attack Daliang. No matter how you look at it, it's all a dead end!

Because Wei offended the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Chu. After the siege of Daliang, the only thing Wei could turn to for help was the Qi State, and the Qi State of Qin and Twilight Chu would pull Wei when the Wei State was in trouble? No one dares to play this package ticket! It seems that only the Qin State is the last dependence of the Wei State!

These thoughts flashed through the minds of King Wei and Xin Lingjun, and Xin Lingjun thought further. If we use the premeditated cooperation between South Korea and Chu to explain this matter. So when did this premeditated plot against Wei begin? Considering the distance between Yingdu and Xinzheng, even if it is a hit, it will probably take ten days and half a month for the two countries to reach an agreement as quickly as possible. And during this time, Wei just decided to completely betray Han and Zhao and take risks for the rise of his hegemony!

"Unless, unless Korea intends to abandon Wei in the first place! From the beginning, he planned to facilitate the state of Chu and let the state of Chu and the state of Wei fight to the death! The current coincidences are nothing but accidents! When Wei sent troops to attack Xinzheng, Chu also sent troops. By mistake, South Korea inadvertently saved itself! Wei almost played himself to death! Xin Lingjun thought secretly.

Of course, in his heart, Xinling Jun also thought of another possibility. That is, Korea was wooed by the state of Chu after knowing that Wei decided to betray Han and Zhao. But this speculation is terrible! This means that there is a Korean fine work within the Wei State, and this person must have a high status and can access the most secret decisions of the Wei State! Even if the status is not high, at least he needs to be a confidant of the King of Wei, who can know the dynamics of the Wei State! So as soon as this idea emerged, it was subconsciously rejected by Xinlingjun. After all, the most realistic problem now is how to repel the Chu army, not to attract suspicion and internal discord among the monarchs and ministers.

"Prime Minister, state affairs are difficult! Now that the state of Chu is invading on a large scale, what should the widows do? King Wei looked at Xinling Jun Wei Wuji with anticipation as if he were grasping a life-saving straw.

Although Xinling Jun was panicked in his heart, his face was calm, and he said: "The minister thinks that the twists and turns of the Changping County Order are a bit exaggerated. After all, it was only a month ago that South Korea mediated the war between us and the Chu State, and each country withdrew most of its troops in order to allow spring ploughing. The armored soldiers of the Chu State are only 400,000, and in such a short period of time, it is impossible to recruit 200,000 troops to attack our Wei State on a large scale. In addition, there are 10,000 people and a sea of people, and when the Chu army comes to attack, it is bound to be endless, and the Chu army will definitely exaggerate its own strength, so as to make our Wei State fearful. The Changping County Commander must have been panicked and listened to the rumors. According to the minister's opinion, the number of Chu troops should exceed 100,000, but it is definitely not much! ”

King Wei calmed down a little in his heart, the difference between 100,000 and 200,000 was too obvious! If it is really 200,000 Chu troops who are attacking, it is only three days away from Daliang, then even if the Wei State survives this catastrophe this time, it will rest intact, and the hegemony of the Central Plains will become a flower in the mirror before it has even begun! If the Chu army is only 100,000, then the Wei State will have room to turn around, although it is still a little nervous, but it is not impossible!

Seeing that the King of Wei breathed a sigh of relief, Xin Lingjun continued to be relieved: "The people of Daliang have 200,000 people, and the surrounding cities within a hundred miles are densely populated, even if the Chu army attacks the city of Daliang, the king can calmly recruit an army of 100,000 (there will be conflicts in some of the figures in the book about the strength of each country, mainly from different angles. This warlike army generally refers to the elite, and the national army, or the army that can be called up by lobbyists, is generally counted as adult men). The Chu army is another labor expedition, and we can wait for work at ease, relying on the city to gradually consume the morale and strength of the Chu army. When the Chu army showed fatigue, the king gave an order, and the elite was exhausted, and the Chu army must have fled! ”

King Wei nodded again and again, and began to feel that if the Chu army only had more than 100,000, it was indeed not a matter of concern. Of course, this is on the basis that the King of Wei did not hear the meaning of Xinlingjun's words. Xinlingjun just said that it was only the Chu army that surrounded Daliang City, what if Zhao also sent troops south?! What if Qi Guo also wants to come over and take advantage?! If the Chu army is really allowed to attack the city of Daliang, the variables will be a bit big! The reason why Xin Lingjun said this. It's just a relief to King Chu. After all, the shape on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to go exactly according to the plan. Just like two days ago, Wei Wangzhi was complacent, thinking that Korea's peace and decline were imminent, and Wei would soon dominate the Central Plains, but in the end, it was Wei who was the first to encounter difficulties, and Daliang was in danger of being surrounded by the Chu army!

Xinling Jun saw that the king of Wei was nervous and uneasy. I was also relieved in my heart. The more the country is in danger, the more the king needs to be calm. If the king is at a loss. If the order is changed, it is very likely that there will be a fiasco, and even the country's strength will decline. Such examples abound, and the closest ones are like the State of Chu, which originally stood with the State of Qin and the State of Zhao, but as a result, Bai Qi only led tens of thousands of troops south. easily defeated the hundreds of thousands of main forces of the Chu army, and the state of Chu has been in a state of collapse ever since. A little farther away is the example of King Min of Qi, at that time the State of Qi was even afraid of the State of Qin, because of the existence of the State of Qi, the State of Qin did not dare to enter the Central Plains in a big way. But what about the result. King Min of Qi made enemies on all sides, and in a battle of Jishui, the main force of the Qi army fled in a hurry. There are only two cities left in the Qi Kingdom! If it weren't for the death of King Yan Zhao too early, so that Tian Dan seized the shortcomings of the discord between the monarchs and ministers of Yan State and took advantage of it, I am afraid that the Qi State would have perished long ago!

"The minister thinks that the top priority is not to transfer the army of General Jin Contempt back, after all, once the 100,000 army returns, the plan to force Korea to submit will be considered a failure." Xin Lingjun said.

King Wei replied: "Xinzheng is less than two hundred miles away from Daliang, and if you march in a hurry, the army can go back and forth once in three days." ”

(There are still a few hundred words in the back, which will be revised within half an hour, and refreshed and read)

When Jin realized that this might be a conspiracy carefully set up by South Korea, he naturally became more and more cautious. Therefore, after the 15,000 people of the front army were wiped out, there were constantly some people who shouted to avenge the front army, but they were all stopped by Jin Contempt.
