Chapter 639: Peng Zhou helps Wei Ran complete the task
After Peng Yu was recommended by Wei Ran to Queen Qin, King Qin did not arrange for him to come to Wei Ran's side again.
Under the arrangement of the King of Qin, Peng Yu secretly infiltrated the Wei State to persuade the old man. And then! Move the family members of the old man to a safe place, and then arrange to go to the Qin State in the future.
And also! King Qin's arrangement was: Wei Ran's army was the field army of Qin, and sooner or later it was going to wage war against Wei. So! If Peng Yu is in Wei Ran's army, it will be inconvenient.
Peng Yu's father-in-law was the second largest nobleman in the Wei State, and he would be scolded if he stayed in Wei Ran's army to attack the father-in-law. So! He must be transferred.
In the past, when Qin attacked Wei, most of them were in the name of Bai Qi. Even if Wei Ran sent troops, it was in the case of Peng Yu's branch. Such! Afterwards, the Wei people and the old man couldn't say anything about Peng Yu.
Under the persuasion of King Qin, Peng Yu had no choice but to accept the reality and leave Wei Ran's army.
Furthermore! The general trend is that the war between Qin and Wei is only a matter of time. If he stayed in Wei Ran's army any longer, sooner or later he would attack his father-in-law. And also! He has a friendship with King Wei, and it is inconvenient for him to act against him publicly.
Since the King of Qin asked him to leave Wei Ran's army and go to Wei to persuade his father-in-law, then do it! As long as the old man took refuge in him, King Qin would not do anything to his family.
Let alone! From the time of King Wei Hui, the power of the old man was hollowed out. Although he was the second largest nobleman of Wei and had a large territory, he had already been fragmented under the encroachment of King Wei Hui. If you don't have power, you won't be able to hold your turf. Over the years, King Wei Hui has gradually weakened your population. No matter how big your territory is, what is the use of you having such a large territory if you don't have a population?
The best way to consume the population is war, and King Wei Hui always lets your people fight tough battles, can you not die? Albeit! King Wei Hui gave you a lot of pension, but can the pension be exchanged for the population?
Opposite! In the lure of high pensions, there are many ignorant people who are willing to die. They feel that they are worth dying worthwhile, and that if they can get back so much money, they can improve the lives of their loved ones.
Outcome! However, the population in the fiefdom of Peng Yu's old man is rapidly decreasing.
The king of Wei treats you like this (Peng Yu's father-in-law), what do you rely on him for?
Peng Yu saw the situation in Wei clearly, so he was willing to persuade his father-in-law.
Although Wei Ran didn't have Peng Yu, he did have Peng Zhou.
Opposite! This Peng Zhou is more powerful than Peng Yu.
Peng Yu became more and more calm, steady, and more and more timid and afraid. And Peng Zhou! But he looks like he is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and he dares to think and dare to do!
After Peng Zhou agreed to Wei Ran, he immediately went with Wei Ran to conquer the Qi Kingdom.
In order to complete the task and achieve the goal of resigning as soon as possible, Wei Ran was in a hurry to send troops.
In the Qin Palace, with his Wei Ran's connections and his relationship with the Empress Dowager Qin's sister and brother, he already knew that there was a villain around King Qin. This villain is none other than Fan Sui.
This Fan Sui, in order to gain the trust of King Qin, gave King Qin some things that King Qin was unwilling to touch but had to take into account. For example! Kill the king of Yiqu, seize the power of the Empress Dowager of Qin, remove Wei Ran, and so on.
King Qin was very concerned about these things and did not dare to touch them. But! It's another tricky thing he has to face, and sooner or later he has to solve it. Others dare not mention it, and only this Fan Sui dares to mention it.
So! Under Fan Sui's repeated admonitions, he still obeyed. Ultimately! Offering Fan Sui as a guest.
He had long wanted to kill King Yiqu, but! Because of the queen mother, I couldn't do it in the end.
How could he not know about the regency of the queen mother? But? How to deal with this? The queen mother didn't pit him? Every time the queen mother was regent, it was for his own good, and he solved the matter that he had no choice but to decide.
Obviously, having the queen mother regent made him, the king of Qin, unable to be a real king, but! What can you do?
As for Uncle Wei Ran! King Qin's heart is very clear: Uncle Wei Ran is the most loyal. And! Uncle Wei Ran also saw through this, so he repeatedly asked to resign and retire. But? If the Qin State didn't have Uncle Wei Ran, where would there be today's territory?
The military strength of the Qin State is all due to Wei Ran's uncle.
But! What if Uncle Wei Ran suddenly reversed one day?
So! He had no room to turn over.
Uncle Wei Ran won't do the opposite, but! Who can guarantee that Uncle Wei Ran will not be taken advantage of?
Just like the Mo family back then, wasn't it used by the Tian family of Qi State? At last! The Mo family broke up.
King Qin didn't want to touch Uncle Wei Ran, but! In order to prevent accidents, he had to listen to Fan Sui's meaning: at the right time, take back Wei Ran's military power.
Wei Ran already knew: Fan Sui spoke ill of him in front of King Qin. So! He wanted to complete the task as soon as possible, and then resign for retirement. lest the night be long and dreamy, and in the end, instead of taking credit, he became a sinner and was killed, becoming the second of Shang Ying. What about that? What's going on in your life?
As a Taoist, that's an undesirable outcome.
After Wei Ran's army rushed to the front line, the two sides fought several small battles. As you can imagine! The Qin army is powerful, and the Qi army can only defend the city. The two sides confronted each other for a while, and Wei Ran was very anxious and felt that he could not delay any longer.
This day! He habitually asked Peng Zhou to drink, but found that Peng Zhou was not in the barracks.
Just as he was inquiring about the situation, Peng Zhou came in with the head of the general of the Qi army guarding the city.
"Hehehe! What do you think? How about this as an appetizer? ”
Peng Zhou put the head of the Qi army's defending general on the desk and smiled at Wei Ran.
Wei Ran was so frightened that he collapsed backwards, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Seeing this, the civil and military generals under Wei Ran were so frightened that they didn't dare to look at the head anymore.
"Hahaha! ……”
After a long time, Wei Ran came back to his senses and laughed as he looked at the leader of the other general.
"Good! This is the best underground sake! Set the wine! Wei Ran commanded.
And then! The head was placed in the center of the hall, and everyone looked at it and thought it was a side dish.
"Drink!"
"Drink!"
"Drink!"
The generals defending the city of the Qi army are gone, and they are still fighting?
Drink!
Wait until evening! Under Peng Zhou's instructions, a capable Qin army was sent to attack the city gates. The sneak attack was successful, the city gate was opened, and the city that could not be attacked for a long time was taken so easily.
When attacking another city, Peng Zhou asked Wei Ran to go to the city to shout and let the leader of the other party come out to speak. After confirming that it was the leader of the other party, Peng Zhou hid in the ranks of the Qin army, holding a special big bow, waiting for the leader of the other party to appear.
After the leader of the other party appeared, Peng Zhou opened his bow and arrows, and shot the leader of the other party to death with one arrow.
According to the range of a normal person, it is impossible to shoot above the city wall at all.
The bow used by Peng Zhou is a special big bow, and the arrow is also a special long arrow.
Unexpectedly, one arrow succeeded, and the city of Qi was simply broken.
