Chapter 1311: Supporting South Korea
A month after the countries reached an alliance, the armies of various countries were assembled one after another, and then headed for the Great Liang of Wei.
On the other hand, when the countries began to meet, the Qin State also recruited a large army from the country again.
In the palace of the King of Qin.
At this time, Wei Ran, the left prime minister of the Qin State, said solemnly: "King, because of the defense of Hedong and Yiyang in South Korea, this time we only recruited 100,000 troops from all over the country, counting the 100,000 troops in Bai Qi's hands, we only have 200,000 troops to deal with the armies of various countries.
With 200,000 against 600,000, the odds are too small. ”
Saying that, Wei Ran arched his hand and said, "Great King, the main general in front of Bai Qi asked to retreat in order to avoid the sharp edges of various countries. ”
Qin Wangdang couldn't help frowning when he heard that Bai Qi had not yet fought and asked to withdraw his troops, and then looked at the right prime minister Sima Cuo and asked, "Prime Minister, if you command this battle, what about it?" ”
When Sima mistakenly heard this, he said with the same heaviness: "Great King, if Korea fully assists our Qin army, then the minister can rely on Xinzheng to drag the coalition forces of various countries for three months, and only need to divide the countries within these three months, so that Qi, Chu, Zhao and other countries can break up, so as to repel the countries."
However, if we cannot divide the countries, then in a long time, our 200,000-strong army will be in danger of being wiped out.
Also, if South Korea had dissent from the beginning, there would be no need to fight, because even if Sun Wu was alive, he might be wiped out within a month or even half a month. ”
Qin Wangdang's face darkened, and he said angrily: "The land of the king of Qi is really hateful, when the widow and he jointly sent troops to attack Wei, and then the widow defeated the Wei state, but he ran into a wall under Jiyang City, without any merit, but the widow snatched away the results."
The widow thought that Qin and Qi were on good terms, so they forcibly endured the humiliation.
Now, the outgarch has defeated South Korea and brought it to its knees. Originally, as long as the widow gave an order, the army of Xinzheng could march east to surround the Wei Liang.
But few people knew that Wei was cooperating with Qi to attack Song, so they forcibly resisted the urge to send troops to Wei. ”
Saying that, King Qin scolded and said: "But how did this bastard of Qi Wangdi repay the widow, he was jealous of the widow's industry, and he knew that he was not the opponent of the widow, so he actually instigated all countries to jointly besiege the widow.
is so brazen that it is so much that the world laughs.
This time, although the widow withdrew, the widow was not convinced. ”
After saying that, Qin Wangdang immediately ordered: "Pass the edict, immediately let Bai Qi lead the army back to Hangu Pass." Also, let Bai Qi give priority to robbing Yiyang's craftsmen, grain, money, ores, weapons, these things can be left unwanted, but Yiyang's craftsmen are determined to win. ”
"Yui."
At this time, Qin Wangdang looked at Sima Cuo and said, "Prime Minister, later Qing personally led the conscripted army to Hangu Pass to garrison." The widow had only one request, and that was to keep the allied forces out of Hangu Pass. ”
Sima Cuo immediately arched his hand and said, "Only." ”
Then, Qin Wangdang looked at Wei Ran and said: "Prime Minister, there is Lao Qing who personally went to the Chu State to reiterate the widow's respect for the Chu State, and show the King of Chu that the widow has no intention of bullying the King of Han."
In the previous war, the widow just wanted to teach King Han a lesson, and he could win a small victory over South Korea for a while, but he didn't want the war to be like that.
Please be sure to persuade the king of Chu to let Chu withdraw its troops. ”
Wei Ran bowed and said, "The minister receives the order." ”
"Summon, immediately send envoys to the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Yan and Song, to show that the widow is willing to make friends with the four countries."
"Yui."
Soon after, when the armies of various countries gathered in Daliang, the Qin army had already returned to Qin under the leadership of Bai Qi, holding tens of thousands of craftsmen and craftsmen's families in Yiyang hostage.
When the coalition forces of various countries heard that the Qin State had retreated to Hangu Pass, they did not let Korea go because of this, after all, neither the kings of the countries nor the generals of the countries who led the troops could bear the end of the alliance like this.
Therefore, the 600,000 allied troops rested outside Daliang City for five days, coordinated the armies of various countries, and after unifying the command and order, they took the 100,000 Chu army as the vanguard and slaughtered the Hangu Pass of the Qin State.
Then, the 100,000 Chu army walked for two days and came to Xinzheng, South Korea.
After arriving in Xinzheng, Xiang Chengjunji, the chief general of the Chu army, immediately went to visit Han Wang Jise as an envoy.
When Han Wang Jise heard that he was like a brother and was also the chief general of the Chu army, he was overjoyed, and then personally went to the east gate of Xinzheng to greet him.
Outside the east gate of Xinzheng, when Xiang Ji arrived with a hundred guards, when Xiang Ji saw Han Wang Jise in the crowd, he couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Han Wang Jise, his eyes were red, his face was haggard, and his spirit was not high, which was completely different from the energetic and complacent Han Wang Jise in Xiangji's memory.
Seeing this, Xiang Ji immediately walked quickly.
On the other side, when King Han saw Xiang Ji coming alone, he also left his ministers behind and greeted him alone.
When he got closer, Xiang Ji looked at the slightly excited Han Wangjise, opened his mouth, and then forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and bowed his hand and said: "The king, I came to rescue Korea on the order of the widow." ”
When King Han heard this, he was stunned, and then immediately stepped forward, held Xiang Ji's hands and said: "Disease, why should you and I see each other, I and the king are like father and son, and you and I are like brothers and sisters, so you don't have to be so estranged!" ”
Saying that, King Han covered his face with his sleeves again and cried: "Disease, it's good that you can come, I know that the king will not let the Qin State oppress me." ”
When Xiang Ji saw King Han covering his face with his sleeves, he immediately hated: "King, it's too late!" ”
After the two brothers talked for a while, they then returned to the Korean palace in the same car.
In the palace.
At this time, Xiang Ji explained his intentions and said: "The king knows that the defeat of Korea has hurt his vitality, and the behavior of the Qin State to sack the craftsmen of Yiyang has also made South Korea worse.
But fortunately, although the Qin army killed a lot, it did not harm the people. South Korea still has a heritage, and after only a few years of cultivation, South Korea's strength will be restored.
Therefore, the king sent me to lead the army, in addition to avenging South Korea, the more important purpose is to help South Korea recover quickly.
This time, I brought with me 50,000 swords and other weapons, 50,000 pairs of bows and crossbows, 10,000 sets of leather armor, 5,000,000 arrows, 500,000 stones of grain, and 100 craftsmen who made weapons and armor. ”
When King Han heard this, he was immediately moved to tears.
Yiyang, as the most important weapons production base in South Korea, was easily conquered by the Qin State this time, and all the weapons and craftsmen in the city were looted.
Who would have thought that South Korea, which has always been famous for building strong bows and crossbow swords, would one day worry about the shortage of weapons.
Although these weapons sent by Chu State are not many now, they also solve South Korea's urgent need.
In particular, the state of Chu also sent all kinds of craftsmen.
You must know that the loss of Yiyang directly reduced the number of craftsmen who made equipment in South Korea by nearly seventy percent.
Thinking about it, King Han was suddenly moved, and then got up directly from the throne, bowed to the southeast to the position of Shouchun: "Thank you, the king." ”
At this time, Xiang Jian saw King Han saluting and couldn't help but nod.
