Seeing that Long Yangjun came up with a big reason to pressure himself, King Wei was also a little helpless, and said: "If you take care of it for a few days, if there is no change, the army will be dispersed." ”

At this moment, King Wei faintly heard someone shouting in the distance: "Urgent report~!" Urgent~! King Wei's face changed: This is the voice of the post guard. Anyone who does so should be avoided by pedestrians on the road and must not block their running speed.

King Wei glanced at Long Yangjun, and Long Yangjun was about to get up and go out to investigate, but King Wei stopped him and said, "What do you want?" ”

Long Yangjun thought for a while and said, "There is nothing to do, but if there is something, what does it do in Hanoi?" ”

King Wei nodded yes.

The shouting stopped, indicating that the postman had run to the gate of the city, and the relay in the city was handed over to the doorman. It is passed from the doorman to the girder gate, and then passed into the palace by the girder doorman, handed over to the attendants, and the attendants are passed to the main hall layer by layer.

When Wei Qi was the minister of Wei, he had a room in the school room of Daliangmen, which was dedicated to handling official documents submitted from various places. If there is an emergency military situation, it will also be sent there, and Wei Qi will first take some urgent countermeasures, and then enter the palace to report to the King of Wei. After Wei Qi was dismissed, the post of Wei Xiang became vacant, and the official documents from all over the country were directly sent to the main hall and handed over to the King of Wei for processing. Only when there is an urgent matter to discuss, only to convene Xinlingjun, Jin Contempt and other important ministers to discuss in Daliangmen. At this time, King Wei generally did not attend, at most he sent Long Yangjun to make a record.

When King Wei heard the shouting, he stopped, looked at Long Yangjun and said, "The news of Jun Qi's visit to Hanoi!" ”

The Wang Shang of Wei has always been undertaken by the Xu family, and the original Xu Jia once achieved the title of middle doctor. After Su Jia retired, Wang Shang's position was inherited by his eldest son, Su Bo'an. If you want to find out any news, you usually go to Subrian, because merchants are the most well-informed people. If you want to find out the news, it is most effective for the merchant to ask the merchant.

Long Yangjun saluted and prepared to resign. As soon as King Wei looked up, he saw that the attendants had already entered the palace, so he said: "Let's look at its documents, it's not too late to explore." ”

The attendant placed a document in front of King Wei. The mouth of the bag is sealed with cement, and the word "Shanyang" is on it. The king of Wei took off the sealing mud, opened the bag, and took out a piece of slip, which read: "Shanyang ordered × Wei × Cheng to × and said: Shanyang was broken by Qin, and the city was slaughtered." The ministers can sneak away and wait for the sin. ”

When King Wei saw it, he only put the document on the case at will, and said, "Shanyang has been lost!" Investigate it. ”

Long Yangjun is gone. The king of Wei asked his attendants to bring the book of hundred officials, personally selected the local officials of Hanoi from them, examined them one by one, and fell into deep thought. After a while, King Wei got up and said to his attendants, "Go see Zhao Ji!" ”

The attendant accompanied King Wei to the harem and stayed outside the door, after the door opened, several female officials came out and welcomed King Wei in, and King Wei said again: "Go see Zhao Ji!" Several female officials took King Wei through several alleys and came to a side palace. Before this, a female official had rushed over to report the news, and Zhao Ji greeted him to the palace gate.

Entering the room, the two sat down, chatted for a while, and King Wei said: "May Ji report to King Zhao, there are Qin people out of Hanoi to run to Zhao, I wish to prepare early!" ”

Zhao Ji said: "Wang Qi told himself. ”

King Wei said: "If the widow tells it, it will also be sent, and the etiquette will be exchanged, and time will be wasted." Ji sued him as a private envoy, but let King Zhao be prepared and not to think about him. ”

Zhao Ji didn't know the reason, and when she saw King Wei's orders, she had to respond. Let the nanny who accompanies the marriage go to Zhao. King Wei personally instructed Zhao Ji to write the paperwork, sealed it, and handed it over to the nanny. The nanny went out and found the Zhao people who came to marry to deliver a letter to Zhao Guo.

Zhao Ji is the royal daughter of Zhao State, married to Wei State very early, and has a daughter. Now he is over thirty years old, and he is no longer in bed. But in order to show favor to Zhao Ji, the king of Wei lingered here with Zhao Ji for a long time, and left after dinner.

When the king of Wei left the palace, the female official who was guarding the gate reported: "Long Yangjun asks to see!" "King Wei went out of the harem and saw that Long Yangjun was waiting outside the harem, so he returned to the main hall with Long Yangjun.

Long Yangjun reported that according to the inquiries sent by Su Bo'an, Hanoi was already very nervous: the Qin army had successively captured the two large cities of Yonghe and Shanyang, and used these two cities as a base to attack the surrounding small cities on all sides. Kaesong is good to say, only collecting money, food, men and other items; If you dare to close the city and resist, you will slaughter the city. Several cities were slaughtered to the ground!

King Wei said: "But there is a report from Shanyang, but there is no Yongbao?" ”

Long Yangjun said: "Either you haven't gotten rid of it, or you haven't gotten help, it's because you haven't reported it." ”

King Wei said: "Yongcheng has fallen, is it unmistakable?" ”

Long Yangjun said: "Doctor Su is a major governor, and after checking it repeatedly, all parties have the same business travel, and it is correct." ”

King Wei said: "Bivayong and Shanyang, what do you want?" ”

Long Yang Jun said: "But the land of Nanyang is wide. ”

King Wei said: "If you want to expand the land, why not slaughter the city?" He who slaughtered the city did not want to have its land, but also its people! ”

Long Yangjun said: "Wang Mingcha! If the city of Pita is not taken, will it be returned? ”

King Wei said: "But the day to explore the situation, don't make a day shortage." ”

As time passed, bad news came one after another: Mao, Ning, Van and Gong and other Hanoi cities were lost one after another, and the small cities around them were almost all occupied without exception, most of which were conquered and bloodily slaughtered by the Qin army; And it seems that I also heard that the Zhao army that came to reinforce was also defeated by the Qin army and was killed in a river of blood. Soon, the city of Jicheng was also captured.

The cities of Hanoi supposedly belonged to the Wei Yi, and the Wei State sent officials to govern it, but the actual power was controlled by the local tycoons. These cities oscillated between the surrounding vassal states, and that was the norm. The vassal states also knew that instead of occupying the city in name only, it was better to have a good relationship with the local tyrants in a down-to-earth manner and obtain actual benefits. Therefore, the king of Wei also had a love-hate relationship with these cities.

Originally, the Qin state did not share the border with Hanoi, but after occupying the cities of Nanyang, Hanoi, which originally belonged to Wei and Han, its influence also extended to Nanyang. The governance model of the Qin state seems to be no different from that of other vassal states, and only officials were dispatched, and the actual governance still relied on the local wealthy clans. The only difference is that they implemented the Qin law in the territory, which made the people of Nanyang in Hanoi easily blame. Naturally, the most severe punishment will always fall on the powerless people, and those children of the wealthy family can always find a way to escape or reduce the punishment. However, Qin Law also had certain restraints on the Hao clan, reminding them not to overdo it: there were also several children of the Hao clan who were sentenced to very severe punishments!

If it is said that the Qin State's governance of Nanyang can be said to be undisturbed, the undercurrent is lurking, and the local wealthy clans in Hanoi and Qin Law are still secretly competing, and this time the Qin State's attack on the rest of Hanoi is completely out of the conventional politics of Hanoi. With a tyrannical attitude, the Qin army washed one city after another, eliminated the powerful clans among them, and completely subverted the political structure of the entire region. Hanoi becomes a vacuum!

The king of Wei seemed to feel that he had an opportunity, if he took advantage of the situation, could he occupy Hanoi more firmly, without having to rely on the snorts of those wealthy families?

He ordered Aragaki to prepare to lead the Wei army assembled at Xingkou to cross the river and regain the lost territory.

At this moment, the envoys of King Zhao arrived at Daliang.

Dr. Wei received the envoy of the king of Zhao, and the envoy of the king of Zhao reported: "We have the warning of the great powers, and we know that Qin will commit crimes." A large army will be raised to meet the Qin army. Dare to ask the king of Wei to send troops and meet Zhao under the city. ”

King Wei listened to the doctor's report and felt that he was in the middle of it. Immediately recall Aragaki Yan from Xingkou and negotiate with Zhao Envoy.

It was learned from the Zhao envoy that the Zhao army left Mengmen from Changping and met the Qin army, which was attacking Maocheng. Due to the unfavorable terrain and muddy roads, after a few days of confrontation, the Zhao army ran out of food, retreated into Mengmen, and returned to Changping. From the words of the Zhao envoy, it seems that although the Zhao army suffered some small losses in this battle, the losses were not large, and it may be an exaggeration to say that the blood is flowing like a river.

On the grounds that the Qin army would threaten Handan, Aragaki Yan asked the Zhao army to provide money and food for the Wei army to go out, but the Zhao envoy disagreed, saying that the Hanoi provinces captured by the Qin army were all Wei towns, and the Zhao army assisted Wei in recovering the country, and Wei should provide money and grain; It is also said that King Zhao also invited Korea and Chu to jointly send troops.

As a result, the negotiations reached an impasse. The king of Wei left the envoy of Zhao to stay in Daliang temporarily, so that he could entertain him, but he just did not receive him.

News from Hanoi kept coming: after the Qin army captured Jicheng, they did not occupy Jicheng, nor did they burn the city, and after a short stop, they went straight to Chaoge! It only took a few days to win the song of the court,...... It seems that Chaoge took the initiative to open the city!

All this news came from the reports of the merchants of the Great Liang, and the officials of the Wei State in the various provinces did not have a single document to reach the Great Liang except Shanyang.

Soon, another envoy of the king of Zhao came to Daliang and informed the king of Wei: "Qin attacks Zhao Zhongmu, and the Zhao army will go to the rescue, and I am willing to pass Wei Dining Xinzhong." ”

This report stimulated the King of Wei. He immediately met with two envoys and told them that he would send a large army to rescue Zhao, and Zhao did not have to send troops himself. refused to open the road to Zhao Jun, but no longer mentioned the matter of Zhao Guo paying money and food.

But it didn't take long for things to happen. King Han sent an envoy to inform that King Zhao was willing to attack the Qin army under the city with Han and Wei, and King Han had ordered Gongzi to be the general, send 20,000 troops, and join forces with Wei, and was willing to listen to the orders of King Wei! Soon, the state of Chu also sent envoys, saying that the king of Zhao invited the king of Chu to meet under the city to attack the Qin army, and the king of Chu ordered the Chu army stationed in Luoyang to listen to the order of the king of Wei and cross the river into Hanoi to fight.

King Wei immediately felt a huge pressure! Both Han and Chu were willing to take Wei as their alliance leader, march into Hanoi together, and fight against the Qin army. Not only Han and Chu, but even Zhao also wanted to take the opportunity to get a share of the benefits in Hanoi, and under the banner of Feng Wei, they carved up Hanoi of Qin. At this time, the Wei state could no longer retreat, otherwise, the alliance of the vassal states entered Hanoi, and whether the Qin army was defeated or not, the Qin army would eventually leave; And once the Qin army leaves, if there is no Wei army in Hanoi, then Hanoi's distribution power will be ....... Therefore, Wei must send troops, and it must have an overwhelming advantage over the other princes of the coalition army!
