Chapter 379: Opening the Mansion (II)

After the order of the plateau was handed down, the two Wei armies drove out of the city, set up camp at the designated place on the plateau, and stepped up the construction of fortifications.

And Wei Yan couldn't help but be anxious and angry after learning that Gao Yuan had transferred his city defense army away, he didn't expect Gao Yuan to give him this hand, and hurriedly sent people to Wei Jiao and Wei Yuan to give an order, so that they should not listen to Gao Yuan's orders, just stay in Daliang City, and not be allowed to go out of the city, and promised that if Gao Yuan wanted to punish them, he would definitely come forward to protect them.

But Wei Jiao and Wei Yuan are not fools, Wei Feng has already died in the hands of Gao Yuan, and he has not seen Wei Yan take any action to avenge him, now he is just hiding at home and pretending to be sick, and he also said that he will protect himself, and he believes in Wei Yan's promise, and it is estimated that he will die quickly.

However, Wei Yan is the direct boss of the two after all, and he can't openly ignore Wei Yan's order, so both of them kicked the ball back to Wei Yan, saying that Gao Yuan gave the order in the name of Xiangguo, and he was also very embarrassed, so he asked Wei Yan to negotiate with Gao Yuan, and it was best to let Gao Yuan get back to his life. But Wei Yan knew very well in his heart that even if he went to find Gao Yuan by himself, it would be useless, maybe Gao Yuan would behead himself, because Gao Yuan now had the bronze sword that King Wei gave him fakely.

As a result, Wei Yan did not get a reply, Wei Yuan led the army out of the city and stationed on the same day, and Wei Jiao also reorganized his men and horses, preparing to set off tomorrow and rush to Xingkou. Seeing that the two subordinates didn't listen to their own words, Wei Yan was almost really angry.

Not only Wei Yan, but also several other ministers who pretended to be sick did not expect that although they were hiding at home, the official affairs in the official office were still going on as usual, because the officials were very cooperative with the acting officials sent by the plateau, and they were no different from the officials in charge, and they did not panic at all.

In fact, these ministers who pretended to be sick were also the same as Wei Yan, and at the beginning they strictly ordered their subordinate officials not to listen to the acting officials sent by Gao Yuan, but their subordinate officials were also the same as Wei Jiao and Wei Yuan, and no one wanted to be a substitute for these officials.

It was only then that these ministers regretted it, knowing that this was the case, they should not have pretended to be sick, and now that it is good, they were easily taken away from them by the plateau. And Wei Zeng admired the plateau at this time, and when he first entered the city, the plateau decisively killed Wei Feng, and now the effect is finally reflected, if the plateau let Wei Feng go at that time, then it is not so smooth now.

And these ministers had no other way, so they made an appointment to go into the palace together to find King Wei fake, imagining that King Wei was crying and accusing Gao Yuan. Nazhi waited in front of the palace gate for a long time, only waiting for a sentence from King Wei: Go home to recuperate, you don't have to worry about state affairs.

Only then did the ministers understand that it turned out that Wei Wangjiao was also very dissatisfied with their behavior, because from the position of Wei Wangjiao, now that the Qin army is pressing the border, it is just when the whole Wei country needs to unite and fight against Qin together, but you are pretending to be sick and hiding at home to pick and choose, and it is strange that Wei Wangjiao is still waiting to see them. As a result, the ministers were bored, but they all went back to their homes in a gloomy manner, and found another way.

However, although Gao Yuan was very successful in resolving the conspiracy of these officials, he immediately faced another serious problem, as soon as the five new decrees were announced, the execution caused great dissatisfaction among the residents of Daliang City, which forbade the residents to leave Daliang, because Daliang was the capital of Wei State, and there were many wealthy families, magnates, and clans in the city, and many people were ready to flee from Daliang, but they were just waiting and watching for the time being. And now that the decree is announced, it will cut off the retreat of these people, and they will naturally not do it, and these people have never taken the laws of the Wei State in their eyes, so they will be afraid of the new decrees issued by the plateau, so on the first day, more than 300 people who violated the new laws were arrested, and more than half of them were children of the clan.

Gao Yuan was not polite, and immediately ordered that all those who violated the new decree should be escorted out of the city and used as hard labor to build fortifications, which caused the dissatisfaction of the clan of Wei State. When Wei Hui, Wei Ping, Wei Yan and other ministers who pretended to be sick saw it, they immediately came to their senses again, so they contacted overnight, and early the next morning, gathered more than 200 clan members to ask for a leave to see King Wei again. After receiving the reply that the king of Wei was unwilling to meet them, everyone knelt down in front of the palace and cried, crying all the time, such as mourning, so that some people who did not know the truth saw it, and thought that the king of Wei had returned to heaven with a fake violent illness.

Originally, King Wei made up his mind and insisted that he would never see them, because these people were too ignorant, and they usually made trouble, but when is it now, even if they want to make trouble, can they wait until the Qin army retreats, at least in a quiet situation.

But Wei Wangjiao also underestimated the tenacity of these people, and he cried endlessly in front of the palace gate, and the more he cried, the more he cried, the crying could even be heard in the palace, so it also disturbed Wei Wangjiao. In addition, King Wei's fake concubines and internal servants also persuaded King Wei to leave, no matter what, at least they should meet them and listen to what they have to say. As a result, King Wei's heart was also a little shaken.

Just when the king of Wei was about to recruit them, suddenly good news came from the plateau, the Fan Yong army attacked a transport convoy of the Qin army outside the city, beheaded more than 2,000 people, burned more than 500 transport vehicles of the Qin army, and captured 73 Qin soldiers, and escorted all the captives back to Daliang, and was escorting them to the palace.

It turned out that Jiang Huanwu was very clear about the current situation of the plateau, and knew that the plateau now needed to use victory to consolidate its position in Daliang City, so it was not necessary to capture prisoners when attacking the Qin army, but after Jiang Huanwu attacked the transport convoy of the Qin army, he still captured seventy-three Qin soldiers and brought the captives back to Daliang to show the victory of the Dai army. Moreover, the results of the battle were exaggerated, and in fact, more than 700 Qin soldiers were killed in this battle, but they were tripled by Jiang Huanwu and beheaded 2,000.

After the king of Wei faked listening, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, although this victory was not big, but it was of great help to the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Daliang City, after all, the victory of Xingkou was far from Daliang, and this battle took place near Daliang, and more than 70 prisoners were captured, and victory was really in sight. You must know that since Xinling Jun, Wei has never defeated Qin. After the arrival of the Dai army, they not only defeated the Qin army, but also defeated the Qin army twice, proving that the Dai army was indeed prepared to fight against the Qin army. It was a correct decision to appoint the Gao Yuan to lead the Wei army to resist the Qin army.

So the king of Wei immediately ordered that the whole city congratulate the good news, and take the captives to the palace to see with his own eyes what the Qin soldiers were like.

Seeing that King Wei was pretending to be elated, he forgot about the ministers who were crying outside the palace gate, and he couldn't help but remind King Wei of the palace: "King, there are so many ministers kneeling outside the palace gate?" Isn't the big ** just preparing to meet them? Did you summon them into the palace? ”

"Calling you." King Wei couldn't help but burst out a foul mouth, he was on the rise, was reminded by the inside, and suddenly fell into disappointment, and said: "You go out to sue them, if you want to cry, go home and cry, the widow has no time to pay attention to them, if you cry at the palace gate again, ask Gao Yuan to arrest them all and go out to dig outside the city." ”

In fact, at the same time as the good news came back, there was also a news that shocked the plateau, it turned out that after the Battle of Xingkou, Han Teng was forced to withdraw from the army, but on the way to retreat, he slaughtered the four cities of Zhongyang, Zhaiyang, Guangwu and Ancheng, killing more than 100,000 people of Wei.

After Gao Yuan learned the news, he was not only shocked, but also puzzled, if Han Teng had slaughtered the Korean clan before, it could also be explained by handing over the name to the Qin State; The slaughter of the Wei army prisoners can also be said to be a burden throw, which is reasonable, but even the slaughter of the four cities of Zhongyang, Zhaiyang, Guangwu, and Ancheng, Gao Yuan is a little incomprehensible, because this is a completely meaningless behavior.

In this era, in the vast majority of cases, the slaughter of the city will not be carried out, because the population is needed by every country, of course, it is not completely nothing, generally speaking, the massacre of the city is to vent anger, revenge, shock the opponent, after the Qin army destroyed the Zhao State, Qin Wangzheng ordered the slaughter of the people of Handan, the reason is that he was bullied in the Zhao State when he was young.

And although Han Teng lost in the Battle of Xingkou, it was also within a tolerable range, Han Teng had no need to vent his anger at all, and Han Teng and Wei had no hatred, so there was no revenge; And now that Daliang is still in the hands of Wei, the act of slaughtering the city will not only not have the effect of shocking, but on the contrary, it will arouse the hatred of the soldiers and civilians in Daliang City, and temporarily fight to the death of the Qin army to the end, so the slaughter of the city is really a losing move, with Han Teng's intelligence, it should not be able to get out of such a stupid move.

But in any case, Han Teng's behavior gave Gao Yuan a great opportunity, and Gao Yuan immediately ordered to announce the news of the Qin army's massacre of the city to the people of the city, and also added fuel to the fire, saying that the goal of the Qin army was not to destroy the Wei State, but to kill all the people of the Wei State, so now the people of Daliang City can only rise up to resist, fight a decisive battle with the Qin army, and hold Daliang in order to survive.

Sure enough, as soon as the news was announced, the people of the entire Daliang City fell into a panic, coupled with the fact that the plateau took the opportunity to send ** wanton propaganda, only by obeying the command of the plateau, can they hold Daliang, because the Dai army has defeated the Qin army twice, and in the following days, the plateau sent the Fan Yong army to attack continuously, either attacking the transport team of the Qin army, or attacking the small Qin army, so the news of victory came back to Daliang City almost every day.

It also made the people of Daliang firmly believe that only when the plateau is there, can they resist the Qin army and hold Daliang, including some clans of the Wei State at this time, they also changed their ways and turned to support the plateau. And Gao Yuan's position in Wei was finally quickly consolidated, and the conservative ministers were no longer able to shake him.
