Chapter 125: Wei Qing's Death
Although the Yan State is weak, it is only compared to a few major powers, if it is really incapable, Chu Guoxia Chen Yan will not choose the Yan State as a breakthrough to destroy the alliance.
The killing of Yan Hou will cause unpredictable results against Qi State, Yan State, Luo State, and Zhao State.
But it was a good thing for the Qi State, and the courtiers who had seized power in Jicheng soon ordered the troops that had entered the territory of the Qi State to return, because the news of Lin Hu's invasion had reached Jicheng.
Yan was willing to sacrifice the city to Qi to make amends, eliminate the war between the two countries, and was also willing to hand over Yan Hou's body to Qi for disposal.
This move is too ruthless, it can't directly fix the people of Qi State, one moment they were still afraid of Yan Guo's attack, and the next moment Yan Hou's corpse was thrown over.
The reason why the Yan Kingdom was so anxious was because compared to the long preparation time before the war of the Zhuxia Kingdoms, the Hu people always came and went like the wind.
When Jicheng got the news, I was afraid that on the vast forest plains in the north of Yan Kingdom, there was already a tragedy in the world.
The Qi army hurried all the way back to the country, and then learned the news that the Yan State had withdrawn from the army, so they were relieved, and then immediately prepared to take over the city of Huaisi.
Qin and Wei saw that the Qi army did not stay in Huaisi, and as soon as they put their minds at ease, they saw that the Qi army returned to Huaisi, and when the Qin army passed through the territory of Wei, they also directly seized a handful, and this time the three kingdoms were again tense in the Huaisi area.
The Chu side received the news of the withdrawal of troops from the eastern battlefield, but this great happy event could not make everyone laugh.
Because the frontal battlefield was lost so badly, the casualties of the Chu army were probably no less than 100,000, and the corpses of the Chu army were everywhere in the mountains.
Countless corpses were crammed into the fields, or at the foot of the mountains, the streams and rivers had been dyed red, and the arms and heads that had been cut off by the sword were scattered to the ground, and the bright red blood flowed down every part of the body and seeped into the ground beneath the corpses.
There are also chariots that have been crushed and turned directly into flesh, and only a thin layer of armor remains, which can still prove that there was once a person who wore it to fight.
After the Wei soldiers broke down the formation of the Chu army, the Chu army that scattered and fled was like a flock of sheep that suddenly exploded in panic, skewering around, and then was charged by the chariots of the Wei State, and died in the slaughter without any power to fight back.
When the elite of Wei Wushu appeared on the battlefield in large numbers, the nature of the war completely changed.
Seeing this complete victory, Wei Houqing couldn't control it anymore, and laughed with a hint of rampant laughter: "Twenty years of forbearance, chasing Qin and defeating Chu, the hegemony is finally going to be achieved today!" ”
This was originally a casual emotion, but in the ears of Han Houcheng and Zhao Houyong, it was clear evidence that Wei Houqing did not take Han and Zhao in his eyes at all.
The two of them couldn't help but feel resentment in their hearts, and the killing machine was even more vigorous, "The three families are divided, not your Wei Houqing alone!" ”
The two of them smiled deferentially on their faces: "After this battle, the kingdom of Wei is the strongest in the world, and no one can compete with you anymore."
You defeated 300,000 Chu with an army of 30,000 and beheaded more than 100,000, which is a feat that the Jin State has not been able to create.
The king can sit in Luoyi, this is all your credit, I am willing to serve you as the lord, go to Luoyi to meet the king, such a great achievement is to be rewarded. ”
Zhou Tianzi.
Although he has not heard from him for many years, this will always be a person that the princes of the nations cannot ignore, as long as he is still sitting on the throne and he is still in the royal city, he will always tell the people of the world that the Son of Heaven dwells in peace in the world.
This is the world of Bang Zhou!
Wei Houqing's eyes were full of brilliance, and he said proudly: "It's time to go and see the Son of Heaven, so that all the princes of the world can go to Luoyi to worship Gu and the Son of Heaven." ”
Wei Houqing was so arrogant that he didn't even call him the king.
Han Hou Cheng and Zhao Hou glanced at each other, then looked away, and began to chase and kill the defeated army of Chu, although it was necessary to strike at Wei, but it was equally important to attack Chu.
Xiang Yin led the army to flee south, and the battle report was handed over to the king of Chu with his secret letter, which was full of blood and tears.
"Your Majesty, this defeat is a great defeat, and the minister is guilty, and only by thanking him with death can he live up to your kindness.
After several months of war, the state of Wei was not only extremely strong in military force, but also surpassed the state of Chu in terms of national strength.
In the Wei army, there are many talented people, far better than the generals of our army, and this is probably the talent that has flowed into Wei from other countries in the past 20 years.
On the other hand, although our army has a large number of people, it is extremely difficult to dispatch from different feudal monarchs, and almost all the people who command the troops are nobles, and there are many incompetent people among these nobles, who are not of great use.
Your Majesty, the state of Chu now dominates the world by relying on its vast population.
But once the countries change the law one after another, especially the big countries like Qi and Qin, then the Chu State without the law will definitely be at a disadvantage.
You are a wise and wise holy king, if you can't change the law, will the future kings still be able to succeed?
The minister is willing to use his blood and bones to drag the army of Wei here to fight for the opportunity of peace talks between you and Chu, as long as you can keep the society of Chu, everything will be in time.
The minister's words are all here, hoping that one day he can hear the news of the appointment of Chu State Chengtian under the Yellow Spring, which can be regarded as living up to the trust of the ancestors. ”
Xiang Yin was a little in a daze after sending the letter, he was the patriarch of the Xiang clan, and the only people in the entire Chu State who were more powerful than him were the King of Chu and the Prime Minister of Chu, and the King of Chu trusted him very much, and it was precisely because of this that Xiang Yin understood that he could not go back.
He must die here, at the hands of Wei, so that he can prove the strength of Wei, so that the king of Chu will implement the new law, and there will be fewer voices of opposition.
When the King of Chu received the letter, his hands were also shaking, and he understood what Xiang Yin meant, "Sima, why is this so!"
Can't the widow silence the voice of the nobles of the kingdom? I want you to lose your life. ”
But when he thought back to the discussion with his uncle twenty years ago, he was a little powerless.
The aristocratic class of the Chu State was too powerful, far from being comparable to the Wei State.
Therefore, Wei Houqing was able to easily suppress the opposition forces in the country, but the king of Chu looked at the loyal nobles in the hall and hesitated, he didn't know if he would be killed directly by these nobles if he changed the law.
But thinking of Xiang Yin, who was determined to die, the king of Chu made up his mind that even if he died, he must change the law.
Xiang Yin led the elite to break the queen, so that a large number of defeated troops could cross the Han River to reorganize the defense, as long as they could strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness, and then hold on to the city, the Wei State from afar would definitely retreat.
Wei Houqing looked at Xiang Yin personally and stubbornly stopped, and took Xiang's elite soldiers to temporarily stop Wei Wushu, even a person like him couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The Xiang clan of Chu State, there is really the style of Luo's family, take Xiang Yin's head, and there is a reward for being alone."
Within half a month, if you can't break through the Hanshui defense line, then leave directly and retreat to Nanyang. ”
Wei Houqing can afford to let it go, he didn't want to destroy the Chu State in a war, if the Chu State is defeated in this way, wouldn't it be to give up Bashu to the Qin State, his goal is to make Bashu a meat grinder between the two countries, not to give the Qin State benefits.
Therefore, it is necessary to strike at the State of Chu, but to what extent it will be attacked, it will depend on the strength of the State of Qin.
If Qin Guo knew Wei Houqing's thoughts, he would definitely be glad that he didn't go east, otherwise Wei Houqing would definitely not mind giving Qin Guo another righteous backstab.
Wei Houqing estimated half a month, just to break through the seal of the ten days, and then go south to march, it is impossible to succeed, thinking that after this battle, the strength of the state of Chu has been greatly damaged, and there is no ability to compete with the state of Wei, so he returned directly.
With the end of the frontal battlefield, the war on the Bashu Plain also gradually came to an end, and the Chu State abandoned a lot of cities and retreated to the fortified cities.
But this is not that the Chu State has completely abandoned this large plain, but that there is now chaos in the Chu State, and a large amount of materials are piled up on the frontal position to prevent the Wei State from attacking again.
Once it is determined that Wei will not return, Chu will fight with Qin!
If you lose Nanyang, you must not lose Shu again.
The alliance of Zhao, Wei and Han went towards Wang Ji, but when they arrived outside Wang Ji, they saw the army of the Son of Heaven and were already in battle.
"Marquis of Wei, Marquis Han, Marquis of Zhao, the Son of Heaven knows the intention of the three of you, let me come to greet you, Wang Ji, it is inconvenient to bring so many soldiers and horses, please bring your own guards."
According to the regulations, when there is no order from King Qin, Wang Ji naturally cannot let the princes lead the army to come, if it is the king of Chu, it is natural to care about 3721, no matter what rules you have.
You are a king, and I am a king.
However, the three monarchs of Zhao, Wei and Han do not have the idea of claiming the title of king at present, especially after the current Zhou royal family annexed most of the territory of the Song State, and its strength is not weak.
So the three of them went to Luoyi with hundreds of guards, while the army remained outside Wangji.
Han Houcheng and Zhao Houyong didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and they easily separated Wei Houqing from his invincible Wei Wushu.
Both sides only bring some personal guards, then Han and Zhao can bring the elite no less than Wei Wushu, and double the force is enough to completely kill Wei Houqing!
After Wei Houqing defeated the Chu State, he was too complacent, and he really wanted to meet Zhou Tianzi and get the overlord suit that every prince wanted.
Turning a hill, the outline of Luoyi could already be seen from a distance, and Wei Houqing's eyes were almost shining.
Right there!
The highest pursuit of every prince, the overlord of the world, Fang Bo Jiuxi, replaces the Son of Heaven in charge of the world.
He had already begun to fantasize that after officially getting the overlord suit, he would order those small countries that were easy to defend and difficult to attack with the order of the Son of Heaven to follow the Wei State to fight, otherwise they would be directly annihilated.
"Poof!"
It was the sound of a sword piercing into flesh, Wei Houqing had heard it too many times in the past few months, but how could it be here?
Then he saw Han Houcheng and Zhao Hou with cold faces, how could Wei Houqing, who was used to backstabbing others, not know what was going on?
He was shocked and angry, and said, "You ......."
Han Houcheng said coldly: "Wei Qing, you shameless villain, the Son of Heaven is a virtuous person, you still think that you can get the gift of the overlord, it's just a dream, let's die." ”
Wei Houqing was naturally unwilling to sit still, and shouted: "Kill Gu, Wei Wushu will definitely kill you all!" ”
Han Houcheng laughed loudly: "Wei Qing, do you think that only the two of us want to kill you?" Now several of your sons may have taken over your Wei Wushu with the talismans.
As for your ministers, they are all greedy people, and they can be bought with gold and silver treasures and fiefs.
Everyone is waiting for you to defeat the Chu State, and then kill you directly, you are really a pathetic person.
Luo Xianggong said in the past: 'If you prosper with this, you will die with this!' ’
Now I can send this sentence to you, you have risen by betraying your allies, you have become Wei by killing your son, you have gained allegiance with your high officials, and now you have died because of your allies and sons, and your ministers have betrayed you because of more benefits.
This is probably the reason of heaven, and the retribution is not happy. ”
The Son of Heaven who came to greet the three of them was stunned, he was unwilling to participate in the internal strife between the princes, and directly led the Son of Heaven's army away from this chaotic place.
As for meeting the Son of Heaven, this kind of thing has already happened, and I still meet a fart.
The Son of Heaven scolded and left here.
Wei Houqing was output by Han Houcheng's mouth cannon, and he vomited blood directly, but he couldn't speak, until the guards who protected him scattered and fled, he fell in a pool of blood with a face full of unwillingness, and a generation of overlords died in Wang Ji like this.
With the death of Wei Houqing, the resources in Wei were quickly divided, and some of the Legalists who were attached to Wei Houqing were absorbed by the old nobles, and some left Wei directly, preparing to change their monarchs.
As for dying for Wei Houqing, that's really a joke.
Finally killed him!
