Chapter 68: The King of Wei Flees
Daliang City was gloomy, and no one expected that what was originally a great victory would turn into an unprecedented rout. Under the attack of more than 100,000 Han troops, the 80,000 troops sent by the King of Wei finally managed to escape back to Daliang, and even the national lieutenant Wei Xin was defeated and captured. All of a sudden, the morale in Daliang City fell to the limit.
Originally, Wei still had a chance to save more Wei troops, but the Wei king was really worried that the Han army would follow the defeated army and rush into Daliang City. Therefore, after collecting the seven or eight thousand defeated troops that fled the fastest, the king of Wei ordered the city gate to be closed. The defenders of Daliang almost watched as their robes were killed and surrendered by the Han army not far from the city gate. Many Wei troops at the head of the city begged the commander to open the door and let themselves fight the Han army, but they were righteously refused. Some of the most ferocious ones were either dismissed on the spot and demoted to ordinary pawns; Or be killed on the spot, with the might of the army!
The embarrassed and angry King Wei even sent Duan Ganchong, the initiator and the doctor who encouraged him to send troops out of the city to attack the Han army, to prison and punish him. Listening to the cheering voices of the Korean army outside the city, the ministers of Wei were in the same mood as the soldiers defending the cityβmixed tastes and deep worries. With an army of less than 50,000 Liang, can Wei still be able to hold Daliang?!
After returning to the palace, King Wei retired all the ministers and lived quietly alone for two hours. Two hours later, King Wei's eyes turned red and his voice was extremely hoarse. Anyone can see that this blow is too heavy for King Wei. All the ministers knelt in the main hall in trepidation, waiting to hear the new order announced by the King of Wei! After losing 70,000 troops, Daliang's forces were already inadequate. Whether to forcibly recruit some old and weak people to participate in the defense of the city has become a multiple-choice question in front of Wei.
"What's the reason for Dr. Zhong's shrinkage?" The hall resounded with the exhausted and extremely depressed voice of King Wei.
"The minister is here!" Shrinking Gao raised his head respectfully, waiting for King Wei's orders.
"Immediately go to Han Ying to meet King Han and ask King Han on behalf of the widow. What conditions does South Korea need to withdraw its troops, and only then will it be willing to withdraw immediately! Wealth, beauty, BMW, land, population, as long as we can afford it, we will all agree! β
Shrinking Gao cautiously glanced at King Wei, after all, he didn't dare to ask King Wei's bottom line! That's it! That's it! Shrinking high, he thought to himself. Anyway, just let South Korea speak, and he is just a mouthpiece. You can really make up your mind whether to accept the peace conditions of King Han. After all, it can only be the King of Wei. What's more, everyone knows that in the current situation, Wei wants to ask for peace, but where is the right to refuse the conditions put forward to South Korea?!
At the behest of the King of Wei, he hurried out of the city to Hanying. After the king of Wei finished telling this matter, he never said a word again, and began to close his eyes and recuperate. This was a bitter pain for the ministers, and the kneeling ministers did not dare to move at first. Later, I was really tired of kneeling, and I didn't care about the loss of honor in front of the king, so I quietly moved my buttocks and soothed my knees. Later, everyone began to discuss the current situation in a whisper, discussing whether King Han would accept Wei's request for peace again. If it is not accepted, what should Wei do?
An hour later, he came back with a shrunken face and a dirty face. Look at the way he looks sweating. I think it's hard to make peace. From the moment he shrunk down and stepped into the main hall. The eyes of everyone in the main hall were focused on the shrinking height, and even the King of Wei looked at the shrinking height with trepidation. If South Korea is willing to believe in Wei again and accept Wei's request for peace, then things will take a turn for the better. If South Korea refuses to accept it, then Wei will die this time! With less than 50,000 Wei troops in Daliang City and already frightened, can Daliang really hold out until the reinforcements of Qi State arrive?! Let alone. Wei State is another treacherous state this time, and Korea will govern its people in the way of others, and if it floods the beams, there will no longer be the slightest ideological baggage.
He fell to his knees with a thud and said with a depressed expression: "The minister is incompetent! There is a negative king's trust! King Han refuses to accept the peace proposal proposed by our Wei State! β
King Wei looked at him with a complicated expression. finally returned to a state of expressionlessness, and said in a calm and terrifying tone: "What does King Han want to do?" β
Shrinking Gao suddenly showed hesitation, and he didn't dare to say it directly.
King Wei knew the embarrassment of shrinking height, waved his hand, and said, "It's okay!" Go ahead! The widow forgives you not guilty! β
Shrinking high and sighing, he finally said boldly: "King Han said that he originally cared about Wei as a brotherly state in Korea, and was unwilling to fight with Wei, but our Wei State has repeatedly treacherously teased him, and King Han no longer believes in Wei State. This time, either the king will take the blame and go to see the king of Han, or the king of Han will lead his troops to conquer Daliang and let the king give him the courtesy of his courtiers. Other than that, no troops! β
Hearing such conditions, the ministers of Wei in the main hall knew that Han and Wei could only fight to the death, and there was absolutely no hope of reconciliation! Let the King of Wei bear the guilt of Jing and let the King of Wei take the courtesy of his courtiers, if the King of Wei really does this, where is there any prestige at all? What kind of face will Wei have to gain a foothold in the world? The ministers also knew why, after the king of Han put forward the conditions for peace, the reduction still indicated that the king of Han was unwilling to accept Wei's request for peace.
"Huh? Aggressive? Guilty of petitioning? King Wei laughed and said in a mocking tone: "The widow is not the king of Chu Huai, but the king of Han is the second king of Qin Zhao. If you want to coax the widow to bow down, the widow would rather die! β
"The ministers are guilty!" The so-called lord humiliated the ministers to death, hearing the words of the King of Wei, the ministers of Wei bowed their heads one after another, and said that they were guilty of death!
"You Aiqing have also heard that there is only one death in this battle! Han and Wei are both big countries in the Central Plains, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and only one country is allowed in the Central Plains, either Han or Wei, there is no other way to coexist! Go and pass on the widow's order, and all men over the age of sixteen and under the age of fifty in the city of Daliang should be conscripted into the army. Send someone to tell King Han again, Daliang City is here, and Korea has the ability, just come and get it! King Wei said angrily.
The ministers looked at each other, a little suspicious of King Wei's idea! If the Han army storms Daliang, King Wei's method will certainly work! But what if the Korean army floods the beams? If you have time to recruit a large army, you might as well transfer grain and grass! It's just that at this time, no one refused to obey the orders of King Wei, except for one person.
The only person who had the guts, the middle doctor Yan En, raised his head and said to the king of Wei: "The minister has the courage to admonish the king!" β
King Wei glanced at Yan En, and said in an unkind tone: "Yan Aiqing has something to say!" β
"King Han is only thirty years old. However, in six years, it has successively collected eight counties such as Nanyang, Hanzhong, Ba, Shu, Runan, and Hedong. The Korean army fought in the east and west, and fought in the south and north, and it was also invincible and invincible! The ambition of the minister to view South Korea is definitely to unify the universe and encompass the ambition of the four seas. Now. South Korea has become a momentum, and Wei is by no means an enemy of South Korea as far as Wei is concerned. If you want to defeat Korea, you can't protect it completely unless you unite the forces of the five kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Qin, Chu, and Qi. β
King Wei twisted his eyebrows, not quite understanding what Yan En wanted to express when he went around in a circle! Korea is powerful, King Han is wise, you don't have to sue everyone here! This is something that everyone can see!
"Now King Han is in the prime of life! The same is true of the king! That's right. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and a king does not dwell in the land of four wars. Now 300,000 Korean soldiers are surrounding the beam, and the beam is worried about internal and external troubles, and this dangerous wall is also! According to the minister's opinion, the next step of the Korean army must be to flood the Liang in order to break the determination of the Liang to resist! If the king is trapped in the Great Liang, once the Qi army is unable to rescue or the battle is unfavorable, the Great Liang will also be in danger! If the beam is in danger, the king is in danger. If the king is in danger, the Wei country is in danger! If the sky collapses (referring to the death of King Wei), the prince is young. How did Wei talk about the rise? At that time, the Lord Shaoguo is suspicious, and the Han army will attack my Wei State again, how will Wei deal with itself? ! Yan En said earnestly.
King Wei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized. I'm a little presumptuous! South Korea has taken advantage of it, and it is difficult to say whether it will flood the girder next. But once used. Daliang City has completely lost the power to resist! And he and the 50,000 army under his command can only wait for the water to subside! It is also unpredictable whether the reinforcements of Qi will not come under the pressure of South Korea, or they will come too late and will not be able to defeat the South Korean army! Either way. You're in real danger! Now the prince he hastily set up is only five years old, and he knows what things at the age of five! What's even more terrifying is that if South Korea captures itself, its own reputation will really be buried!
Seeing that the King of Wei was a little hesitant, Yan En took the opportunity to advise: "The minister implores the king, for the safety of the Wei State, hunt Suiyang!" β
The ministers also came back to their senses, and said in unison: "The ministers implore the king, for the safety of the Wei State, hunt Suiyang!" β
Indeed, as Yan En said, King Wei is now completely meaningless in Daliang, if it really works, it is to boost morale. Just think about the disheartened atmosphere of Daliang City now, it is really hard to say how much this role of King Wei can play. Moreover, in the face of flooding, King Wei will not come up with any good solutions.
But from another point of view, the reason why the Korean army besieged Daliang was because the king of Wei was in Daliang. If the Han army found that the King of Wei was no longer in Daliang City, there would be no point in besieging Daliang. From this point of view, King Wei has become the burden of the Great Liang! Without the King of Wei, the defenders of Daliang could instead relieve themselves of their burdens and concentrate on defending the city. Of course, the ministers also have other ideas in their hearts, if the king of Wei is here, after the Han army breaks the city, his group may have to follow the king of Wei to the funeral. If King Wei is not there, he will have one more choice, that is, surrender to King Han! Anyway, whose courtier is not to be? There's no need to be tied to the ship of Wei! Especially since the ship is about to sink.
Everyone knows that right now, Xinlingjun is gathering a large army in Suiyang, and Suiyang is one of the top fortified cities in Wei, which can be said to be the safest place in Wei at the moment. Even if Wei narrowly defeated Korea this time, they would discuss the matter of moving the capital, and the best choice for the capital was Suiyang. In Suiyang, the king of Wei can not only familiarize himself with Suiyang in advance, command the army, and set up layers of defense lines, but also gather the hearts and morale of the people of Wei and wait for reinforcements from Qi. Moreover, after the King of Wei escaped, it would not be so urgent to relieve the siege of Daliang, which could avoid Xinlingjun falling for the trick of Korea in order to rescue the King of Wei!
King Wei looked at the ministers with a little surprise, and hesitated for a moment. A voice told him, hurry up and pack your bags and escape, if you don't leave, wait for the Han army to release water and flood the secret passage, it's too late to leave! No matter what you have, your own life is not as important. Doesn't even an overlord like Jin Wengong have a record of fleeing in a hurry?! This is not called running away at all, this is called strategic shifting! Not only will I not be able to help here, but I will also add to the chaos. Maybe after the Han army finds out that they have escaped, they will not flood the beams! In this way, the people of Daliang will not be flooded! If you run away and do good, you can do good! If you don't run, then the throne will definitely fall on the head of Xinlingjun! After so many years of hard work, he finally became the king, and in the blink of an eye, he was about to give up the throne to Xinlingjun, where would he be willing to give it! Since you are not willing to give up, you have to live!
But at the same time. Another voice told King Wei that he couldn't do it! There must be no escape! You are the monarch of Wei! You should show the integrity of the previous king, and you can't run away when you encounter difficulties! If it were Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou, would they run away? Will they abandon the subjects of the Great Liang for their lives?! No! Absolutely not! Didn't you always want to be the overlord like Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou?! If you run away, you'll be a coward and everyone will look down on you! They show you a lot of respect on the surface. Behind it is sarcastic for your cowardice and cowardice! This will be the biggest stain and failure of your life! On the contrary, like a real king, sharing weal and sorrow with his subjects, and sharing weal and woe with Daliang, the reinforcements of Qi will definitely arrive in time! When the Yan State crusaded against the Qi State, it almost destroyed the Qi State! But as a result, there were only two cities left in the Qi Kingdom and still managed to turn the tables and restore the country! Now, you still have two and a half counties. Much stronger than that Qi country! What Qi can do, Wei can do under your leadership! As long as you persevere, persevere, success will belong to you after all!
Seeing that King Wei hesitated at the critical moment, Yan En immediately judged that King Wei must be cherishing face and unwilling to bear a bad image of running away. Therefore, Yan En said with the right medicine: "The beam can be broken." Wei can't die! If the king is in danger, the Jiangshan Society of Wei will be completely finished! Your Majesty! Hurry back! As long as the king is safe. After all, our Wei State will have a comeback, and then our Wei State will attack Xinzheng and return today's humiliation to South Korea a hundredfold! Gou Jian lies down and tastes the guts, and three thousand Yuejia can annex the state of Wu! The Wei State was hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the stronger country was a hundred times stronger, and there was the help of the Qi State. The comeback is a breeze! β
"The ministers respectfully ask the king to retreat quickly! The ministers are willing to fight to the death and revive the Wei State! The ministers once again exhorted in unison.
King Wei sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said, "That's it! That's it! Ladies and gentlemen! You must live and wait for the widow to come back with the troops! The widow swears. In his lifetime, he must raise hundreds of thousands of troops to surround Xinzheng and capture King Han! β
"Surround Xinzheng! Capture King Han! "The voice of the same enemy resounded in the hall!
"Doctor Yan En!" King Wei regained his majestic voice.
"The minister is here!"
"You are fully responsible for the defense of the girders, and you must stick to the girders! Those who are below 2,000 stone high-ranking officials in the city, Aiqing can make all the decrees! If you don't comply, you can cut it first! β
Yan Enxing bowed and said solemnly: "Minister, obey the order!" β
The ministers looked at Yan En with complicated expressions, and everyone realized that after the King of Wei left Daliang, Yan En would become the supreme ruler of Daliang. His orders will be unimpeded in Daliang, and anything that goes against his will is tantamount to going against the will of the King of Wei. Some people who originally had a bad relationship with Yan En have begun to secretly plan how to mend their relationship with Yan En!
"Where is Zongzheng Wei Qing?" King Wei spoke again.
"The minister is here!"
"After the widow leaves, you take care of the people of the clan on behalf of the widow, if there is anyone who does not obey Yan En's dispatch, the first time you will be punished with thirty rods, and the second time, kill them! The widow ordered you to be the deputy general again, you must do your best to assist Yan Aiqing to guard the beam, you can do it? β
Wei Qing hurriedly replied: "The minister must do his best to assist General Yan to guard the Great Liang and live up to the king's trust!" β
King Wei nodded with satisfaction, and said reluctantly: "In this way, please leave it to you Aiqing!" After speaking, he took a deep splendour.
Where did the ministers dare to accept such a big gift, they all turned sideways to avoid it, and said in their mouths: "The ministers must do their best to assist General Yan, and wait for the king to lead his troops back to Daliang!" β
On that day, the King of Wei took the queen, the crown prince and the three hundred palace guards to sneak out of the beam through the secret passage and go straight to Suiyang!

PS: The state is not very good, and there are more than 300 words I will change it immediately
