Chapter 497: The overall situation is important

At the boundary of Jincheng, a large army marched under the banner of "Zhao".

There is a luxury carriage in the military department of the army, which follows the footsteps of the army and moves slowly.

Around the carriage was a group of cautious and heavily armed guards, and on the carriage lay a middle-aged man in a royal robe, opening his mouth from time to time to devour the rare fruit handed over by the maid next to him.

This middle-aged man was a military minister who had established himself as the king of Zhao, and two months ago, after receiving a letter from Chen She, he immediately expanded his army, gathering 200,000 troops.

After arranging the affairs on the territory, Wuchen personally led the army and set off from Handan, intending to join Chen She's army and destroy Qin together.

On the third day of the departure of the army, Wuchen suddenly received a secret report from his subordinates, Chen Shi appointed his general Zhou Shi as the commander, led 600,000 troops, and sat in the national capital Chen County to support.

The martial minister who got the news changed his face on the spot, and he said that he would destroy Qin together, but you couldn't hide at home?

Who isn't a king anymore?

So the next day, the Zhao army, which had marched 120 miles a day, immediately descended to 50 miles a day.

After two days of travel, Wu Chen felt that the speed of the march was still too fast, so he gathered his subordinates and generals, and after careful discussion, he formulated some plans:

The sun is too strong, and the soldiers are prone to sunburn, so they can rest for a while, when it rains, they will get sick and get wet, and they will rest for a day, and the wind is too strong to be conducive to the march, so they will not pull out the camp today.

Even if the army marched like this, the Zhao army would inevitably get closer and closer to Yangzhai, the place where the two sides agreed to meet the army, compared to Qi Chu, Zhao was too close to the agreed place.

However, this did not stump the military ministers and his subordinate generals, and the military ministers who were about to reach Yang Zhai suddenly received information that the remnants of the Qin diehards in Zhao had gathered to make a rebellion.

Wu Chen learned of the "great chaos" of Zhao State, hurriedly sent a letter to Chen She, and then hurried back with the army to quell the rebellion.

After two months of repeated tossing and turning, 200,000 Zhao troops were worthy of Jincheng.

This time, Wuchen didn't plan to come again, because he received news that the Qi army and the Chu army were about to arrive.

At present, the great enemy Qin State, even if the military ministers have the intention of preserving their strength, they still have no intention of completely tearing their faces.

As soon as the army left Jincheng, the march was only thirty miles, and suddenly a horse came galloping from afar, and immediately the knight held high the bamboo tube containing the letter, and shouted as he ran: "The front line is urgent, go and tell the king quickly." ”

When the generals of the former army heard this, they did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered: "The whole army stops and stands by." ”

Then he led the guards over and asked, "Who is coming?"

When he came to the army, the messenger could not help relaxing, and as soon as the horse stopped, he felt that the hand holding the reins was sore and weak, and the whole man shook twice and fell.

The general of the former army immediately waved his hand for the guards to step forward and helped the messenger up.

The messenger gasped and said weakly: "Go and tell the king that the 100,000 troops of Zhang Chu's vanguard were ambushed by the official army and the whole army was annihilated. ”

The general of the former army was taken aback, and said decisively: "Let's go, go with the general to meet the king." With a few guards, he helped the messenger to drive to Wuchen's car.

The Chinese army, the army suddenly stopped, Wu Chen frowned slightly, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The commander of the guards next to him immediately replied: "King Qiyu, I don't know what's going on, the front army suddenly stopped, and the minister has sent someone to ask, and there will be news soon." ”

Wuchen stood up from the carriage, lifted the bead curtain, and just saw the former army general coming with a messenger, who was stopped by the guards a hundred meters away, so he shouted: "Let them come." ”

When the guards heard the voice of the military minister, they immediately let the former army general and others go, and then the messenger told the news in front of the military minister.

When he heard that the vanguard sent by Zhou City and the 100,000 army were annihilated, Wu Chen's face suddenly became cloudy.

After a while, Wu Chen suddenly ordered: "Come here, pass on the order of the lonely king, and the whole army will return to Jincheng." ”

The former army general was stunned and said, "Then we won't conquer the Qin State?"

Wu Chen glared at him viciously and said, "It's still a fart, the widow is sick, and he needs to recuperate, okay?"

The general of the former army was suddenly drenched in cold sweat, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Obey the king's order, and the minister will go and order the former army to turn around." ”

......

Yang Zhai, the news of Zhao Jun's halfway return quickly reached Zhou Shi's ears, and he saw that his face became extremely ugly, and he directly took out his saber and smashed the table in front of him.

"Lack of erection and conspiracy" Zhou Shi said angrily, and then wrote a secret letter and sent someone to Chen Jun.

After Chen Shi received the secret letter from Zhou City, he immediately summoned Wu Guang to discuss: "Wu Qing, the letter from Zhou City said that the army sent by Zhao, Qi, and Chu had different intentions and was unwilling to attack Qin wholeheartedly. ”

Zhou Shi also said that if the four countries did not work together, even if they joined forces, they might not be the opponents of the Qin army. ”

Wu Guang pondered for a moment after hearing this, shook his head and said: "Great King, we have no way to bring the armies of Zhao, Qi, and Chu into our hands, if the Great King really does this, if we don't wait for the Qin State to attack, we will be in chaos first, and General Zhou's method is not advisable." ”

Chen Shi sighed slightly: "But what Zhou Shi said is not unreasonable, the army is not aligned, how can it defeat the Qin State?"

Wu Guang smiled slightly and said, "Does the king want to fight?"

Chen She's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Why did Wu Qing teach me?"

【31 Fast Update】 Wu Guang fixed his mind and said: "King, please listen to me, now although the Qin State is separated and collapsed, it is no longer as powerful as before, but Guanzhong is still there, and its strength is only stronger than Zhang Chu, not weaker, and there are even two grandmasters who suppress Guozuo." ”

"Therefore, the destruction of Qin is not a one-time effort, and it needs to be done slowly. ”

Chen She's face was uneasy and said: "According to what you say, why does the king of Ben want to unite Zhao, Qi, and Chu to crusade against the Qin State?"

Wu Guang said unhurriedly: "Don't worry, the king, listen to me slowly, there are several benefits to uniting with Qin at this time." ”

"First, when Zhang Chu was first established, the national strength was still weak, the territory was unstable, and the people's hearts were not attached. Therefore, it is better to take the initiative to attack, delay the footsteps of the Qin army, and then take advantage of the situation to develop strength and consolidate itself. ”

"Second, after the Qin State loses a large area of territory outside the Guan, both the output of resources and labor will be reduced, and the national strength will continue to weaken. ”

"Third, you can take the opportunity to consume the strength of Zhao, Qi, and Chu, like this kind of ally, there should be two correct ways to get along: strong is combined, and weak is combined. ”

Chen She's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said: "Needless to say, the Lone King understands, but over there in Zhou City, how should this King respond?"

Wu Guang coughed lightly, and said quietly: "King Qiyu, the road ahead is clear, the king can only reply to General Zhou, and the overall situation is important." ”

Of course, the king cannot completely sit idly by and ignore this matter, and should send envoys to strongly condemn the three kingdoms of Zhao, Qi, and Chu, who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and do not keep their promises. The king also said these words to General Zhou, and with his wisdom, he would definitely be able to understand that the king could not help himself, and he would not hold a grudge against him. ”

Chen Shi nodded and said: "Okay, just do it, Wu Qing will do the reply on his behalf, and when the king confirms that there is no problem, he will send someone to Zhou City." ”

Wu Guang bowed and replied, "Honorable Order." ”

......

Yang Zhai, Zhou Shi received Chen She's reply, opened it, and saw the words "the overall situation is important" in the letter, like a sharp knife piercing the heart, he tried his best to plan for Zhang Chu, but what he got was an evaluation that disregarded the overall situation?
