Chapter 10 The world is shocked

South of Huayang, Xinzheng.

It's already three o'clock, and the whole Xinzheng City is busy.

A huge war is in motion, and everyone is working hard to defend Xinzheng. From the streets to the city walls, from the transportation of stones to the making of zuò rolling wood. Even children are confined to their homes by their parents and do what they can.

It had been two full days since the prince led the army out of the city. The various possible war situations make every Korean anxious, and the dignitaries are worried about how to keep their wealth; Ordinary people are their husbands, sons, and fathers.

King Han is also sitting on pins and needles in the palace. The crown prince is his only beloved son-in-law, and he will inherit the great cause in the future. Although before the expedition, the prince swore that even if he could not retreat from the enemy, he would be able to retreat with his whole body, but it was not his own business, and his own affairs would be chaotic.

In fact, the moment the prince ran out of the city, King Han regretted it. It's been two days now, and I don't know how Ran'er is doing, has she accepted the enemy? Are there any injuries?

Just when King Han was anxious in the palace, the palace of King Wei 160 miles east of Xinzheng was another scene.

Now the king of Wei has been on the throne for four years, except for the year before last the Qin state minister Wei Ran led the army to attack the Wei state, the Wei state was forced to cede Wencheng and other eight cities, the life of the king of Wei is also comfortable.

Although his younger brother Shin Lingjun opposed his own army to attack Korea, there was no eternal friendship between countries. Even if South Korea rescued itself, it can be regarded as repaying South Korea. The ceded land has to be compensated by its neighbors. King Wei thought so in his heart.

At this time, the king of Wei had nothing to do and found the general Duan Ganzi to understand the military situation. Although Duan Ganzi has no skills, his ability to slap horses and observe words and emotions is rare and unmatched. As his old superior, Mang Mao was now recommended by Meng Weijun of Qi as the prime minister of Wei, and he himself rose to the top and was promoted to the position of general.

What Duan Ganzi got in his hand was the battle report the day before yesterday, after all, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the road was impassable. In the battle report, it was said that the allied forces of Zhao and Wei were like bamboos all the way, and they had already surrounded Huayang, and Huayang could be broken overnight. When the time comes, take advantage of the trend and go down to Xinzheng, and the big thing will be done.

"King, Prime Minister Mang is now surrounded by 150,000 troops in Huayang, and the whole of Korea must be in a panic. Now the road is difficult to travel, maybe at this moment Prime Minister Mang's good news is on the way. At that time, the king of Han will bear the guilt and make peace with you, the king, and the Wei State will once again shock the world! Congratulations to the king. Duan Ganzi looked flattering.

"Well, Aiqing is right. There is also the credit of Aiqing here, and the widow will not forget the credit of Aiqing. When the prime minister triumphs, the widow will reward the three armies! King Wei looked forward to the situation where his reputation was unparalleled in the world.

"King Xie. The ministers will serve the king with all their hearts, and they will die with all their might. Duan Ganzi was busy and showed his loyalty.

The capital of Zhao State, Handan.

The current King of Zhao is the second son of King Wuling. Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, and Zhao's national strength suddenly soared, second only to Qin, becoming the overlord of the north. There are also capable ministers such as Lin Xiangru, Lian Po, and Zhao Hao under his command, and those who are as powerful as Qin rarely commit crimes.

Now 38 years old, King Zhao is supposed to be in the prime of life, but he is addicted to wine. The Mangmao of Wei also took a fancy to this, and a few cars of jewels and a few beauties made King Zhao agree to send troops. Jia Yan commanded an army of 20,000 and joined the coalition army.

On the occasion of the New Year, King Zhao feasted his ministers in the palace. It is rare that Zhao Guo has been in good weather in recent years, and there are no military disasters, which is really worth celebrating. The ministers also sang praises of virtue, and the praising King Zhao was triumphant.

Lin Xiangru and Lian Po glanced at each other, both showing helpless looks. Although the wine in the cup is fragrant, it tastes tasteless. Without him, he is just worried about national affairs.

Both of them didn't care much about the war in Korea, 400 miles away, and the only thing they had to worry about was whether Qin would send reinforcements and the impact of Qin's army on the war situation.

The reason why the two were in favor of joining forces with Wei to attack Han was not because they were greedy for merit. With the decline of Wei and Qi, there was no country in the Central Plains that could independently resist Qin. The state of Chu in the south had just been beaten by Bai Qi and could not find the north, so the state of Zhao was pushed to the front line of resistance against Qin. In order to increase their chances of victory, the two of them agreed to Wei's proposal to defeat Han in order to force Korea to form an alliance with Zhao and pull Korea into the chariot of resistance against Qin.

Zhao Shengzheng, the king of the plains, had a very happy conversation with everyone, as the younger brother of the current King Zhao, he accepted the etiquette of the nobility since he was a child, and he was good at communicating.

After noticing Lin Xiangru and Lian Po's expressions, he immediately understood why the two of them were bitter. So he picked up the wine glass and raised it to Lin Xiangru beside him, and said: "Lin Shangqing, the current Zhao country is leveling. It's the New Year, so don't think about those official things. ”

Why doesn't Zhao Sheng worry about the war happening in South Korea at this moment! As the prime minister, he knows better than anyone the consequences of once South Korea sticks to Xinzheng and is unwilling to make peace and his own side will not be able to attack for a long time.

But now that it is a cold winter, the Qin army is thousands of miles away from Huayang, and the Qin army will not be able to reach the battlefield without half a month. Half a month is enough to force South Korea to agree to an alliance!

Although King Zhao has been obsessed with lust recently, but now that he is singing and dancing, he should not be able to make a mess if he takes on more responsibilities. Moreover, if King Zhao is really virtuous, what is the use of his own virtuousness. Pingyuanjun sighed in his heart.

Lin Xiangru also knew that King Zhao was so happy, and it was useless to persuade him on this occasion, so he could only wait for the results of the battle to come before making plans. It would be nice if King Zhao had half of the virtuous ability of Pingyuan Jun, Lin Xiangru was startled by the sudden thought that flashed in his mind. Trying to drive away this rebellious idea, Lin Xiangru raised his glass and drank it all.

Zhang Hu is an uncle at the North Gate of Xinzheng. I regret that I was not selected for the team that rescued Huayang. Even he didn't know that he, who had always spared his life, would impulsively want to go to the battlefield.

You know, I was scared to death before. Every time, he was lucky not to be injured, and even made some war exploits and was promoted to uncle.

But two days ago, Wang Ziran's speech made his blood boil. Even Han Ran, who is the crown prince, does not spare his own life, what is there to be afraid of as a little person! Although he did not rescue Huayang with the army, he could still guard Xinzheng and protect the people behind him. Zhang Hu secretly swore in his heart.

Just as Zhang Hu was urging the people to step up the transportation of stones to strengthen the city wall, there was a shout from his subordinate Wang Er, "Uncle, come up quickly." Someone is riding over! ”

Someone on horseback? Could it be that the enemy is coming? Or was the prince besieged and sent people to ask for help? Zhang Hu rushed up the city wall in a panic, grabbed Wang Er, and asked eagerly, "Where are the people?" Where is it? ”

"Uncle, there." Wang Er pointed to the black dot in the distance.

All the people on the city wall stopped what they were doing and looked at the approaching procession. At first it was just a vague black dot, then it became clearer and clearer the flag, the costume.

"It's our army!" Someone shouted.

How could there be news so quickly? Was it defeated? Many people looked at the approaching team with such worries and complexities.

Looking at Xinzheng City, which was getting closer and closer, Wang Fugui clamped the horse's belly and added another whip. The already slow war horse was a little faster under the whip.

Think about himself as just a chief, although he is named rich and rich, but the word rich has nothing to do with him. Born in a poor family, he was sent into the army as soon as he became an adult. With great strength and a loud voice, he can be regarded as a good eater in the army. Think about yourself the happiest thing is when you have enough to eat, but even if you are a soldier, you will only be full of food in the barracks when there is a war.

When Tian Hu handed over the important task of reporting to Xinzheng to Wang Fugui, Wang Fugui was speechless with excitement in his heart. All of them rode one person and two horses, and they kept rushing back.

At this moment, Wang Fugui shouted with the greatest strength: "Good news! Good news! Our army broke the Zhao-Wei coalition army. 70,000 enemies were destroyed and 80,000 were captured! ”

The soldiers behind him also shouted, "Good news!" Good news! Our army broke the Zhao-Wei coalition army. 70,000 enemies were destroyed and 80,000 were captured! ”

Zhang Hu on the city wall was stunned for a moment and was stunned for a long time. Suddenly, he grabbed the shoulders of the people around him and roared loudly: "What did they just say?!" ……

When the news of the good news spread all over Xinzheng City in an instant, the whole Xinzheng was boiling.

Every household is beating gongs and drums to celebrate the biggest good news in Korea's history! The Korean monarchs and ministers were also shocked by the news in the palace.

Wang Fugui showed the autographed letters of Prince Ran and Tyranny Kite, but everyone had to believe this fact: South Korea attacked Huayang at night with only 20,000 reinforcements, and broke Zhao Wei's 150,000 army. Captured 80,000 people under Mang Mao, the prime minister of Wei and Jia Yan, the commander of Zhao, and annihilated 70,000 enemies.

Because there were as many as 80,000 prisoners, in the letter, the crown prince specially built yì King Han to make plans early. At the same time, he reported that the fields around Huayang City were damaged, and implored his father to exempt Huayang City from paying taxes for one year. The details will be reported in person, and the father will be asked to prepare the needs of the army.

It took Han Wang to read the letter three times in a row to convince himself of this fact. The surprise came so suddenly that King Han felt like he was about to faint.

In addition to the destruction of Jeong-kook, this was the most glorious foreign war achievement in the history of South Korea. After the defeat of Jeongkook 102 years ago, South Korea rarely won a victory.

"The king," it was Prime Minister Zhang Ping who came to his senses first, "It is a great fortune for South Korea that the prince has made such an immortal achievement." The most important thing at the moment was to send reinforcements as soon as possible to assist the prince in escorting the captives to Xinzheng. At the same time, prepare to surrender the barracks and food and army quilts as needed to avoid the unstable morale of the troops. ”

At the same time, the world will be shocked by this great victory. The main force of Wei was wiped out in this battle, so there is nothing to worry about. According to what the prince said, this battle was the basis of the alliance of the Three Jin Dynasty, and he should send an envoy to make friends to prevent him from being annoyed and ashamed. The second is the Qin State, to prevent it from taking advantage of the fire to rob. ”

When King Han heard this, his heart was also tight. The joy just now is also gone for the most part, calm down.

Zhao is the second most powerful country today, and now it has destroyed the opponent's 20,000 elites and captured the opponent's generals. In case Zhao Guo wants to come to Xue shame to take revenge, South Korea really can't beat it.

This time it was a fluke victory, and next time who knows if it will win. There is also the Qin State with wolf ambitions, and the Wei State is now greatly injured by his own beating, in case the Qin State wants to take advantage of himself, what should he do! Thinking of this, King Han was also big for a while.

Chen Xiao's opinion of Zhang Ping is also deeply agreed. Looking at the distressed Han Wang, he said: "King, at the moment, it is still up to the triumph of the crown prince. In the opinion of the ministers, it is not too late to wait for the prince to come back and discuss how to deal with the countries. ”

"Yes! How did I forget Ran'er. Maybe there's a good idea. Thinking of this, King Han put his troubles behind him and said in high spirits: "Han Wen, hurry up and prepare according to what the prime minister said, the widow will go out of the city for ten miles to meet the army!" ”

In just one week, the Korean army broke the 150,000 armies of Zhao and Wei with only 20,000 troops, captured 80,000 of Wei and Zhao's main generals, and destroyed 70,000 enemies.

All of a sudden, the storm was stirring. Xinzheng has become the focus of the world.
