63. Stealing talismans to destroy Zhao
More than 100 years.
In the land west of the river, the Qin and Wei states tore each other for more than a hundred years.
Wei Guo and Lu Guo missed Wu Qi successively.
This is simply a gift from heaven, Wu rose up to Wei, reformed the military system, created Wei Wushu, and helped Wei occupy the land west of the river.
During the period of Wei Wenhou, the Wei State definitely had the capital to look down on the heroes.
It's a pity that a frame-up made Wu Qi flee to Chu to exert his residual heat.
Then, the Wei State also lost the land west of the river and collapsed.
The current King of Wei worked hard at first, but after countless beatings by Bai Qi, he could only choose to cut his land and sue for peace.
The last time he tried, he formed an alliance with Zhao Guo and wanted to cut meat from the South Korea next door. For the sake of this union, he even married his sister to Zhao Guopingyuanjun.
It's a pity that he was defeated by Bai Qi's thousands of miles away. King Wei's dream of regaining his old glory was torn to shreds.
So, he no longer thinks about fighting for hegemony, but lives his own small life.
His favorite person turned out to be Long Yangjun, who was the best of Long Yang.
Despite the existence of high-level marriages, the states of Zhao and Wei were extremely hostile for most of the time.
At the beginning of the Battle of Changping, there was a court discussion in the state of Wei about whether or not to help which country.
As a result, the whole Wei state agreed that the battle of Qin and Zhao was very beneficial to the Wei state. The more intense the fight, the better it is for the Wei State.
"The shame of the neighbor is the blessing of the country." These are the words of the King of Wei when celebrating the capture of the Light Wolf City by the Qin army.
The Wei army was actually ready to send troops. The general Jin Contempt led a large number of troops to gather in Yecheng.
It is very close to Handan, the capital of the Zhao State, and the Wei State also has a history of breaking Handan.
Therefore, when he first crossed, Zhao Kuo lied that the Wei army was attacking Handan, and many Zhao troops believed it and were eager to go back to protect Handan.
But the current King of Wei is undecided about who to help.
Or rather, he doesn't want to make a choice at all.
Previously, Qin Guo took out such a tempting bargaining chip as Yuan Yong and invited Wei to carve up Zhao State together. But the king of Wei only agreed to the Qin army to borrow the road and grain.
And the Wei army, which went to receive Yuanyong, was even assembling and had not yet set off.
This made King Wei's younger brother, Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, dissatisfied.
He really wanted to do something, whether it was to help Qin or Zhao.
It's better than dry.
But he didn't have a say.
He could only organize his own 3,000 diners to feast and drink.
On this day, Wei Wuji heard that there was a sage named Hou Ying, who was over seventy years old, and he went to the north of Daliang to guard the city gate.
So, Wei Wuji asked people not to open the banquet, and asked his henchman Zhang Er to drive a carriage to invite Hou Ying.
Hou Ying was not particularly surprised when he saw Wei Wuji arrive, tidied up his clothes a little, and jumped into the carriage.
At this time, Hou Ying actually sat directly on Wei Wuji's left side. Wei Wuji did not have the slightest displeasure on his face, but took the initiative to take the reins from Zhang Er's hand, and drove the car himself with the respect of the prince as an old man watching the gate.
Hou Ying admired it very much, so he opened his mouth to probe: "Xinlingjun, I have a friend who sells meat in the market, and I hope to change the route, so you can also visit him." ”
Zhang Er next to him originally saw Hou Ying sitting on the left, he was indignant, and when he heard Hou Ying make such an outrageous request, he was very angry, and just about to have a seizure, he was glared at by Xin Lingjun and didn't dare to speak.
"This is my friend Zhu Hai." Hou Ying took Xin Lingjun to a meat stall and pointed to a strong man with a height of nine feet and introduced.
Then Hou Ying talked to Zhu Hai for a long time. Xin Lingjun was beside him, and he didn't look impatient at all.
"Okay, it's not early, let's go to your house for dinner, Xinlingjun."
"Very well, this strong man will come with him." Wei Wuji said happily.
That night, everyone was shocked, and an old janitor and a butcher sat on the top seat of the banquet of Xinlingjun.
A few days later, after the Qin army raided Shu Qi through the channel, Xinlingjun received a letter from his brother-in-law, Pingyuanjun.
They are all relatives, and if Wei doesn't come to help Zhao Guo, why do you still help Qin Guo stab Zhao Guo in the back.
Pingyuan Jun hoped that Xinling Jun could help persuade the King of Wei to help Zhao instead.
It was agreed that after everyone drove away Qin, they would carve up Qin's vassal Korea together.
Wei Wuji was very worried in his heart and asked Hou Ying's opinion.
Hou Ying said with a smile: "Now whether it is the Qin people or the Zhao people, they are stronger than our Wei people. When we go alone to face one of these countries, we are like a piece of meat in front of a hungry tiger. It's best if they lose both.
I know that Gongzi has no selfish intentions, and it is all for the good of Wei State. But the king has lost his enterprising spirit. The war situation is ever-changing, and if it is for the benefit of the country, then Childe must find a way to get the military power, march quickly, adapt to the situation of the war, help the disadvantaged side in a timely manner, and let the war continue for a long time is the best way to deal with it.
The tiger talisman of Jin is in the bedroom of the King of Wei. Now the person who is most favored by King Wei, except for Long Yangjun, is Ruji, and she will definitely be able to steal it. I heard that Childe used to avenge the murder of his father for Ruhime. Childe can ask her for help, get the tiger talisman, seize the military power, and act when the opportunity arises. ”
Hou Ying's words were light and light, and he didn't consider what kind of anger Ruji would bear from King Wei after stealing the tiger talisman.
Wei Wuji didn't care either, and really did what Hou Ying said.
After getting the tiger talisman, before leaving, Hou Ying said to Wei Wuji: "The general will be outside, and the monarch's order will not be accepted." If Jin contempt has tested the military talisman, but still holds the military power, and has to confirm it with the King of Wei, it will be difficult to do. Zhu Hai is very brave and can go with you. If Jin disagrees, you will let Zhu Hai kill him!
I'm too old to go with you. But when you arrive at the Jinqu camp, I will face Yecheng and repay you with my life for the importance you value me! ”
After arriving in Yecheng, Jin Cong saw the tiger talisman and was puzzled.
He opened his mouth and asked, "What is Xinlingjun doing with the tiger talisman?" “
yes, what are you going to do?
Wei Wuji suddenly found himself a little confused.
When he came, he wanted to lead troops to help Zhao Guo.
There are not many reasons for family affection here, but more for the interests of Wei.
Because at the beginning, the Qin State took advantage of the Wei State and burned the baggage of the Zhao army, and everyone thought that the Zhao State was going to be finished.
But when Wei Wuji set out, he heard that Zhao Kuosheng had captured Zheng Anping, the deputy commander of the Qin army, and defeated more than 100,000 Qin troops.
This made him undecided, but the tiger talisman was in his hand and the arrow was on the string, and he was very dangerous to continue to stay in Daliang.
When he arrived in Yecheng, he got the news that Zhao Cong crossed the river and captured Guangwolf City.
At this time, he didn't know the situation of the follow-up war, but presumably, it was impossible for the Qin army to turn the tables.
Wei did not want to see a powerful Qin state, nor did it want to see a strong Zhao state.
Thinking of this, Wei Wuji opened his mouth and said, "The situation in Zhao State is very good at the moment, but after fighting for so long, there must be a lack of food and grass. We directly made a surprise attack, took Changping Pass and the Old Pass, and cut off their back road. When the time comes, Zhao Guo will have to let us handle it. ”
Jin said contemptively: "This is the same as I thought. Being able to defeat the tiger-wolf-like Qin State shows that the strength of the Zhao State is beyond our imagination. Without further ado, let's go now."
Zhu Hai on the side silently loosened his sleeve and held the hand of the forty-pound iron mallet.
At the same time, at the gate of the Great Liang City, Hou Ying faced the north, drew his short sword, and killed himself.
When he died, he shouted, I'm sorry for Xinlingjun.
Many people thought that he committed suicide because he felt guilty for not being able to accompany Shinling-kun to the front.
On the city gate, Wei Yuan, the king of Wei, put his arms around Ruji, watching Hou Ying die, with a smug smile on his mouth.
He has fought too many defeats and made too many incorrect decisions.
If it fails, the throne will be threatened.
So, I can only ask you, my younger brother, Xinling Jun Wei Wuji.
I hope you can make the right choice, so that Jin Contempt doesn't have to die.
However, if you are interested in my throne, then you must be careful of Zhu Hai's iron mallet when you sleep.
