In the palace of the king of Wei, the king of Wei sat above, Xiang Guo Zhai Qiang, and the ministers Lou Su, Ni Liang, Gan Mao and others stood below.

At this time, Wei Wangfu held the battle report with trembling hands, and said in a hoarse voice with trembling: "The Chu army has several cities, and the five cities of Jianzhong, Jiaocheng, Weishi, Yangwu, and Tongxu have all fallen into the hands of the enemy, and all the people in the city have been escorted to Chu by the Chu people. In just a few days, the widow has lost more than 200,000 people, 200,000, this is 200,000 people..."

As he spoke, King Wei roared with blood-red eyes: "Barbarians, the Chu people are all barbarians, and the two countries are at war without harming the people, as a result, the Chu people dare to treat the people in the city as soldiers and prisoners, and they also threaten everywhere that whether it is a baby that has not yet been weaned or a fetus that is still in the womb, as long as one is captured, it will be regarded as a war feat."

Damn, the Chu people deserve to die, so tyrannical, so appalling, it's unseen and unheard of. ”

As he spoke, Wei Wang's face was distorted, his right hand was clenched into a fist, and then he smashed it on Wang's case, making a loud "bang" sound, and then, Wei Wangyu looked at the general Ni Liang angrily and said: "General, how many troops have been mobilized in the country?" ”

Zhai Qiang, who also had an ugly face, immediately responded when he heard King Wei's inquiry: "Back to the king, since we got the Chu people to plunder the people five days ago, we have ordered the mobilization of all the warriors in the country.

According to news from all over the country, 50,000 warriors have gathered on the Waihuang side, 30,000 warriors have also gathered on the Anling side, and 70,000 warriors have gathered on the Fengqiu side of Hebei. ”

"One hundred and fifty thousand warriors." Wei Wangyun nodded lightly, and said with a little confidence: "There are quite a few, plus the nearly 200,000 warriors in Daliang City, the number is already more than that of the Chu army." ”

Saying that, Wei Wangyu looked at Ni Liang and said: "General, the widow wants to lead the army to fight to the death with the Chu people to rescue the people in the country who have been ravaged by the Chu people, what does the general think." ”

"No!" Ni Liang was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, and hurriedly persuaded: "King, the Chu people outside the city are all long-fought divisions, but the elite of the Chu State, and most of our army are warriors who rushed to the army, and even the generals were promoted in a hurry. The various units in the army are not familiar with each other, and the command is very inconvenient, so if we have the courage to fight a decisive battle and use a chaotic division against a crack general, then we will definitely suffer a crushing defeat. ”

"This..." Wei Wangjun frowned suddenly, he also knew that hundreds of thousands of troops gathered together, which extremely tested the command ability of the generals, and the new defeat of the Wei State, the army was mixed with a large number of recruits and defeated generals, and it was difficult to mobilize.

Ni Liang saw that King Wei was persuaded by himself, and saw that King Wei's face was full of embarrassment at this moment, and he knew King Wei's concerns in his heart.

After thinking about it, Ni Liang arched his hand and said: "Great King, the matter of the Chu people plundering the people is not only appalling, but also outrageous. Therefore, the minister believed that reinforcements from various countries would arrive soon.

Moreover, the minister also heard that the king of Han, who was still hesitant to mediate in the bureau, had already agreed to our request after hearing about the brutality of the Chu people in Wei, and officially went to Chu to mediate, and also promised to lobby the king of Chu to return the captive people to Wei.

Therefore, the minister thinks that what we need to do now is to stabilize the situation around Daliang first, continue to gather troops on the one hand, and wait for reinforcements from various countries to arrive on the other hand, and wait for the reinforcements from various countries to arrive, and then it will be the time of our decisive battle with the king of Chu. ”

"Alas!" When the king of Wei heard this, he immediately let out a long sigh of hatred, and he also knew that now that the state of Chu made such a move in the state of Wei, in order to avoid the state of Wei being seriously weakened, the countries would definitely send troops to rescue.

But the reinforcements of Qin, Qi and Zhao are too far away, and it will take a month on the road, and when the reinforcements from Qin and Qi arrive, how many people are left in Wei at that time?

Thinking about it, Wei Wangyun suddenly said sadly: "The widow is incompetent, affecting the father and the old brothers, how to meet the first king under the nine springs!" ”

At this time, Gan Mao in the palace saw that the king of Wei was dissuaded, and did not rush to a decisive battle with the Chu army, although he regretted in his heart, but he was not too disappointed, after all, the Chu people made such an amazing move, directly attracted all the troops in the west of Wei.

Now, Qin State's troops are about to be dispatched, and there is no need for him to continue to stay here, it is time to go.

Thinking about it, Gan Mao suddenly arched his hand and said: "King, the minister is guilty, because of the minister, hundreds of thousands of people have become slaves of the Chu people, and the minister is to blame for his death." ”

Speaking of this, Gan Mao wept and said: "The king, the minister asks the king to immediately hand over the minister to the Chu people to solve the difficulties of the Wei State." ”

When the king of Wei heard this, although he knew that the matter of the Chu people attacking Wei had little to do with Gan Mao, he also knew that there were many people in the Wei State who were complaining about Gan Mao, and even he himself had lost his enthusiasm for Gan Mao.

However, he knew that Gan Mao could not be handed over yet, otherwise, the entire Wei State would become a joke in the world.

Thinking about it, Wei Wangjun immediately responded: "Sir, don't blame yourself, the Chu State has been planning for a long time, and this attack on the widows brought so many ships, and so quickly transport the people through the Chu State, it is clear that the idea of beating the widows and the people from the beginning is obvious."

This has nothing to do with the gentleman, and the widow will not hand over the display. ”

"The king is grateful." Saying that, Gan Mao bowed again: "King, in order to expose the true face of the Chu people and thoroughly mobilize the hearts of the people in the country to resist the war, please go to the Qi country to lobby the king of Qi and ask the Qi country to send troops to rescue as soon as possible." ”

As soon as these words fell, a thought appeared in the minds of everyone present: "Gan Mao wants to run?!" ”

Among them, Wei Wangqi was the first to react.

The reason why he has persisted until now, in addition to showing the determination of Wei to resist Chu to all countries, is not the rest to keep Gan Mao?

Gan Mao left, then he, the King of Wei, would lose all his face.

Thinking about it, Wei Wangyun immediately said with sincerity: "Sir, is this going to abandon the widow?" Although the widow is not talented, but under the pressure of violence, there is still the responsibility to keep the husband, and please don't say this, don't abandon the widow. ”

Gan Mao's face showed a look of emotion: "The king, the minister was originally the prime minister of the Qin State, and he lost the position of the Qin prime minister because of the Chu State, and now the minister came to the Wei State and enjoyed with the king, and because of the Chu State, the minister was also uneasy in Daliang." ”

Saying that, Gan Mao's face showed a resentment: "Because of these two reasons, the minister hates the Chu State deeply, even if it is not in the sky, it is not an exaggeration."

Therefore, the minister went to Qi not only to ask for reinforcements from Qi, but more importantly, to lobby the king of Qi to destroy the Qi-Chu alliance, so that the two countries of Qi and Chu would turn against each other again to avenge the hatred in the hearts of the ministers. ”

Speaking of this, Gan Mao sneered again: "Because the minister accepted the persuasion of the king before, prevented the peace talks between Qin and Chu, and instigated the Qin State to attack Chu. Therefore, the king of Chu also hated his ministers to the bone.

The current situation is that if the minister is in that country, the state of Chu will hate that country, and if the minister goes to the state of Qi, presumably the king of Chu will also hate the state of Qi. ”

Speaking of this, Gan Mao arched his hand and said: "Therefore, in order to repay the king's favor, for the king's plan, for the Wei country's plan, please go and lobby the king of Qi!" ”

"This..." Wei Wangyun's face was no longer resolute, and he became hesitant.

Then, Gan Mao said to Zhai Qiang Ni Liang: "Xiangguo, general, I don't know if you think this strategy is feasible?" ”

"This..." Zhai Qiang and Ni Liang glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.

One of them was afraid that Gan Mao would grab the position of Xiangguo, and the other was afraid that Gan Mao would grab the position of the chief general of Wei, and now that they hadn't made a move, Gan Mao was willing to leave.

How could they refuse such a good thing!

So, the two of them bowed their hands to King Wei at the same time and said: "King, this strategy is feasible, please don't hesitate to do so." ”

Wei Wangyun: "······"
