Chapter 328 328.The Battle of Hangu Pass

Luo Hai is just a tragic little person, but Zhang Tianshang didn't kill him, just imprisoned him in Yingqiu Prison, whether he can survive or not depends on himself.

And after Qi Xiaobai knew these things, he only made a self-evaluation of Luo Hai's situation.

The reason why Qi Xiaobai agreed to let Zhang Zhen go to Baekje and Silla was because he wanted Zhang Tianshang to support this war, and they all knew that Zhang Tianshang was a big corrupt official with strong financial resources, and if his son served as governor, Zhang Tianshang would definitely support him behind his back, and he would definitely use his best ability to help Zhou Baotong and his son win this war.

Of course, even if Zhang Tianshang knew that this was the case, what could he say? can only be silently accepted.

However, Zhang Zhen, who has experienced the war, is not an ignorant teenager anymore, and Qi Xiaobai still has some expectations for him.

Zhang Tianshang looked at the housekeeper at home and said: "Go and contact Zhou Baotong for me, just tell him, I don't care what he does, he must do his best to complete the task assigned to him by Duke Huan!" ”

The housekeeper nodded, and left Zhang Tianshang to complete the task assigned to him by Zhang Tianshang.

Following.

At the court meeting of the Qi State, Qi Xiaobai looked at the ministers and said: "The results of the war between the Qin State and the Wei State have come out, and the two sides have a fierce battle at Hangu Pass in Hexi, and in the end the Qin State won, and the Leyang soldiers were defeated and committed suicide!" ”

Qi Xiaobai looked at the ministers and said, "Do you have anything to say about this battle?" ”

Le Yang led the 300,000 army of Wei to fight with Bai Qi's 500,000 Qin army at Hangu Pass, Le Yang was the defender, and Bai Qi was the attacker.

Bai Qi left 300,000 troops to attack Hangu Pass, and let 100,000 Qin elites bypass Hangu Pass, go south from the north, march into Wei, and finally defeat the Wei army left behind from the side, and then the two sides attacked together, Leyang's main army was besieged by Bai Qi, and the army in the rear could not break Bai Qi's encirclement network.

After the Hangu Pass was broken, because the materials could not reach the Leyang army, Leyang was besieged for two months because of lack of food, and the army mutinied, and the Qin army broke through one by one.

Le Yang thought that he had no face to see King Wei Hui and Wei Wuji's son, and chose to commit suicide outside Hangu Pass.

In this battle, Bai Qi beheaded 200,000 Wei troops, and the Wei general Le Yang died, and Wei accepted the first defeat since Wu Qi dominated the Central Plains.

The day after the results of the war came out, Emperor Zhou Shengdi and Ji Mingyue issued a crusade order for Wei, ordering the princes of the world to besiege Wei, and Luoyang raised 50,000 troops and took out all their family resources to attack Wei.

And Uncle Gong still did not break through Handan, but because of Emperor Zhou Shengdi's edict, Zhao Yong chose to let Lian Po send out the army and take the initiative to attack.

And the edict came to the state of Chu, the state of Chu chose to wait and see, they had learned the strength of Wei Wushu, Wei Wushu was not destroyed, and the state of Chu did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

Although some years have passed since the Great War in the Central Plains, the remnants of Wei Wushu are still there.

In the battle of Hangu Pass, the court of Wei was shocked, and King Wei Hui looked at his ministers: "Aren't you one more than the other?" The army of Qin has entered my Wei land, who can take command to resist? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to say a word, let the uncle return to the dynasty and fight a decisive battle with the Qin army!" A minister of Wei looked at King Wei Hui and said.

Then the ministers of Wei said that they would let Uncle Gong return to the dynasty to fight with the Qin army, but King Wei Hui did not want to give up, after all, it had been almost two years since the siege of Handan, and he felt that he could not hold on to it at all with the materials of Zhao State, as long as he was given some time, he would definitely be able to defeat Zhao State.

"The minister is willing to lead the troops to fight the Qin State!" A middle-aged man stood up and said.

"Wei Cheng? Can you? King Wei Hui looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked.

Wei Cheng, a member of the Wei royal family, can be regarded as a general, but now the generals of Wei are attacking Zhao, and there are indeed very few ministers who can be used in the court.

Originally, there was a Leyang town, but he didn't expect that Leyang was defeated and committed suicide, if Leyang came back alive, he could also reorganize the army and let Leyang go to war.

In fact, now King Wei Hui no longer pursues the destruction of Zhao State, but only wants to subdue Zhao State and let him cede the land and pay compensation.

After all, the more he fights now, the more unfavorable it is for his Wei State, if Zhao Guo can't attack it for a long time, this Qin State is very likely to be in front of his Great Liang.

And the Luoyang royal family actually issued a crusade order against him, he didn't know if this Qi country could still be an ally with him, and whether this Chu country would take the opportunity to enter his Wei country.

Therefore, the current situation is very unfavorable to his Wei State.

He looked at one of the ministers of the court, Li Kui, and said: "Li Shangqing, please go to the second Qi country and tell the Duke of Qi Huan that as long as he is willing to help my Wei country get through this pass, I, King Wei Hui, am willing to form an alliance with him, King Xiang, within thirty years, my Wei country will definitely not do anything that violates the interests of his Qi country!" ”

The so-called Xiangwang is a king to recognize the other party as a king, to admit the status of the other party and I want to wait, King Wei Hui did this because he was worried that Qi would rebel because of the emperor's edict, so he wanted to be with Qi Xiaobai and recognize the status of Qi Xiaobaiwang.

As long as Qi Xiaobai is the king, then his prestige will shock the entire empire, and it is more likely to become a hegemon of the empire.

"Minister, understood!" Li Kui lowered his head and said.

King Wei Hui sat on the throne and looked at Wei Cheng: "I will give you 200,000 troops, the matter of the Qin army, I will trouble you, I don't ask you to defeat the Qin army, I just ask you to drag the Qin army!" ”

Now the army that Wei can mobilize is only 200,000, which fully shows the strength of Wei, a million male army, only Chu can be called, but now the performance, Wei's army has also reached one million.

King Hui of Wei now hoped that Wei Cheng would be able to hold back the Qin army, and after Uncle Gong had defeated Zhao and forced King Zhao to sign a treaty, he would turn around and attack Qin.

He believed that in front of Wei Wushu, this Qin State was not to be afraid, back then, Wu Qi 50,000 could defeat the opponent's 500,000 army, and now that the main force of Wei has returned, what is the ability of this Qin army to fight?

After Uncle Acne learned that Le Yang was defeated by the Qin army at Hangu Pass, he was also uncomfortable, and he besieged Handan for nearly two years, without any success, and still consumed the national strength of Wei.

Although King Wei Hui has not yet blamed, who knows how much patience King Wei Hui still has?

When King Wei Hui ran out of patience, it was not as simple as losing his official position, it was very likely that he would lose his life.

After all, it consumed so much military strength and national strength of Wei, but it did not bring any benefits to Wei.

Pang Juan looked at his uncle: "I think we can give up Handan, and regret that Wei defeated the Qin army first, and we are talking about Zhao Guo!" ”

Pang Juan didn't realize that Wei Cheng's 200,000 could withstand the Qin army, and the Leyang who were in danger on the left and right were defeated, how could Wei Cheng, who only had 200,000 remnants, fight?
