Chapter 283: Meeting and Decisive Battle [Two in One](2/2)
I thought that no one in the world could stop me, the Wei Dynasty, but my father secretly contacted Qi and Chu, and even harmed the interests of his own country to promote the "Three Kingdoms Alliance of Han, Qi, and Chu". He set off a great trend and forced me to conquer it personally, which was dangerous.
These countries fell... If a person like this is not enough to be called a wise king, how many people in this world have this qualification?... It was not your father who caused the decline of Korea, but Han Hu,
The war between Han and Wu was caused by the greedy and selfish nobles in South Korea who controlled the lifeline of the country. The reason why I was able to defeat your father was just because I took control of the country earlier than he did, for a full ten years.
Do you understand the gap?"
"Uh-huh."
Han Ji nodded vigorously.
Seeing this, Zhao Run smiled and said, "Okay, let's go have a meal together."
On that day, Wei Wang Zhao Run had dinner with the Zhou family, Han Ji, and Han Fei brothers. On the one hand, he naturally wanted to get closer to Han Ran's two sons. After all, in Zhao Run's view, since Han Ran had brought his two sons
If you entrust it to him, he will naturally take good care of it; on the other hand, it will also send a message to the ministers of Wei State: Zhou, mother and son, must not act rashly!
After waiting for the meal, Zhao Run ordered people to temporarily place the Zhou family, mother and son in Prince Yi's Mansion in Daliang City, which was also the former residence of his sixth uncle Zhao Yuanli. He also sent someone to take care of them so that they would not be short of daily necessities.
Zhou, mother and son left the palace with great gratitude.
The next day, Jie Ziyu heard about this, so he took his attendant Zhang Qigong, who looked numb, to the palace to ask for an audience with King Zhao Run of Wei.
After the ceremony of the emperor and his ministers, Jie Ziziu asked with a smile: "I heard that your Majesty will temporarily place the Zhou family, mother and son, in Prince Yi's Mansion?"
Zhao Run glanced at Zhang Qigong next to Jie Ziyu, who seemed to be mourning nothing more than his death, and said lightly, holding back a smile: "It is true." After that, he told Jie Ziyu about Han Ran leaving the letter, and immediately sighed with emotion.
Said: "I really can't bear Han Ran's entrustment on his deathbed. As long as the Zhou family, mother and son, stay safe in the future, I will allow them to be rich and noble for the rest of their lives. This is worthy of me and Han Ran getting to know each other."
"Your Majesty is merciful."
Jie Zigui cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I suggest that your Majesty accept Han Ji as his adopted son..."
"That's not necessary."
Zhao Run immediately interrupted Jie Ziyu.
How could he not see through Jie Zizi's thoughts? Jie Ziu simply wanted to use Han Ji's identity as the "legendary Korean royal family" to help Wei Guo annex South Korea more smoothly, but Zhao Run did not want to take advantage of Han Ji——
You must know that he took in Zhou, mother and son because of his friendship with Han Ran. He did not want to get any benefits involved in this matter.
Seeing that the monarch in front of him had made up his mind, Jie Ziu could only swallow his advice and changed his words: "Listen to what Chu Shuli Chu said, your majesty is ready to fight a decisive battle with the coalition forces of other countries?"
"Hmm."
Zhao Run nodded and said slowly: "Originally, I wanted to continue to ignore the coalition forces of various countries and wait for them to collapse, but bad news came from Hexi and Hedong..."
"Is it the army of Qin?" Jie Ziyu asked solemnly.
"Well." Zhao Run nodded, walked around the hall with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "This time the Qin State used troops against our great Wei Dynasty, they really didn't care about the alliance at all... According to Sima An and Wei
According to Ji's estimate in the battle report, this time the Qin army attacks Hexi, the army in Hedong is probably no less than 200,000. Although my brother Zhao Xuan has led the Northern Army to return to Hedong, I am still a little uneasy...
…”
"Your Majesty thinks that the two generals Sima An and Wei Ji, as well as the troops under His Royal Highness King Huan, are not enough to stop the Qin army?" Jie Zigui asked with a frown.
Because according to his estimation, the troops of Sima An, Wei Ji and Zhao Xuan were no less than 150,000, which may not be able to stop the Qin army.
However, Zhao Run shook his head and said: "The key is not in Hexi or Hedong, but in Sanchuan... I have transferred all the soldiers in Sanchuan County, and the Jiejiao cavalry and Sichuanluo cavalry have all been transferred to Daliang.
At this time, Sanchuan was extremely empty... If Qin was in Hexi,
, the Hedong area suffered setbacks, so they may not change their minds and march into Sanchuan, forcing Sima An and Wei Ji to mobilize troops to support..." At this point, he shook his head and concluded: "In short, Daliang should defeat Qin quickly.
Otherwise, something might happen."
Jie Ziyu nodded after hearing this, and immediately sighed: "These days, the coalition forces of various countries have been forcing our army to fight decisively with them. They are very eager to fight. This must be because Qi State has been attacked by Zhao Jiang and other generals.
As a result, it is difficult for the coalition forces of all the countries to have the same mind... If Qin had not invaded, we, the Wei Dynasty, could have just sat back and watched it collapse, and then sent out troops to cover it up... But now, we can only comply with the wishes of the coalition forces."
"Following the wishes of the coalition of nations?" Zhao Run smiled inexplicably, shook his head and said, "Not necessarily."
Having said this, he slowly walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said lightly: "Of course the coalition forces of various countries want to make a last-ditch struggle before they are about to collapse, but unfortunately the outcome is already doomed!"
Having said this, he chuckled and said: "Although we cannot just wait for it to collapse, it would be a good thing if we could defeat the coalition forces of various countries with our own hands."
"Your Majesty is wise."
Jie Ziguo and Zhang Qigong looked at each other and bowed their hands.
At the same time, on the side of the coalition forces of various countries, Chu Shuijun was holding the third meeting of generals since the beginning of spring.
Just as Jie Ziu speculated, the coalition forces of various countries are indeed on the verge of collapse at this moment.
The cause of this incident was naturally because after the defeat of Korea, Qi became the next target of attack by the Wei State's East Route Army.
In October last year, after Korea surrendered, Wei generals Zhou Kui, Cai Qinhu, Li Huo, Chen Si and others led the Huling navy to return to Qi's waters.
Since there were still more than 100,000 Qi troops led by the fierce general Tian Wu in Qi State at that time, the Huling Wei army was not able to hit Linzi, the capital of Qi State, in one go as they expected, but was instead defeated.
Tian Wu's army blocked the Jishui River.
But even this was enough to frighten Qi State.
At that time, King Lu Bai of Qi summoned his ministers, and Tian Tao, the Prime Minister on the right, exclaimed: "The Huling navy of Wei State has left and returned. Could it be that South Korea has been defeated?"
In his opinion, only when South Korea has been defeated will the Huling navy attack Qi again with its entire army.
And what does this mean?
This means that the Hanoi army of King Yan Zhaojiang, the Wei Wu army of Shaohu, and the anti-rebellion army of Pang Huan will all invade his Qi state in the near future!
After realizing this, Qi State immediately entered a state of high alert.
In mid-November, when Zhang Qigong took Zhou's mother and son to Jishui by boat, he deliberately paid attention to the situation in Qi.
Although the armies of Zhao Jiang, Pang Huan, Han Pu and others had not yet approached Qi State at that time, the atmosphere of approaching generals still made the whole country of Qi fearful and uneasy.
Different from the last time, the Qi State was attacked by the Huling Navy of Wei State. In fact, strictly speaking, there was not much danger. After all, the advantage of the Huling Navy lies in their warships. But if these Wei soldiers go up
After reaching the shore, there were only 40,000 to 50,000 Wei soldiers. If Tian Dan and Tian Wu had more than 200,000 troops at that time, could they still be unable to defeat this mere 40,000 to 50,000 Wei soldiers?
But this time, due to the defeat of South Korea, the Wei soldiers led by Zhao Jiang, Pang Huan and others were released from the Wei-Korean war. This caused the Wei army to attack Qi to suddenly increase to two to three hundred thousand.
the point.
No matter how brave Tian Wu was, it would be difficult for him to stop two or three times the number of Wei soldiers with hundreds of thousands of troops - those were Wei soldiers. It was not unusual for a Wei soldier to challenge two Qi soldiers alone.
Fortunately, it was approaching winter and Qi had a whole winter to prepare. Otherwise, Qi's situation might have been even worse.
After investigation, Qi State regretfully learned that South Korea was indeed defeated by Wei State.
In addition, Qi State also found some information: the good news is that Wei Wujun, the general of Wei General Shaohu, did not appear in the team that attacked Qi State for some unknown reason; the bad news is that before Wei Jun attacked him
Qi's army included more than 100,000 Korean troops under the command of Han Pu, the Marquis of Yuanyi.
In other words, what Qi State is about to face is the coalition of Wei and South Korea!
To be honest, apart from the increase or decrease in military strength, the most important thing is the impact - the "Wei Army" attacking his Qi State is completely different in political sense from the "Wei-Korean Allied Forces" attacking his Qi State.
This means that Qi State will bear the hostility of Wei and Han at the same time. This is undoubtedly the worst situation!
In this terrible situation, Linzi immediately sent people to deliver the bad news to the coalition forces of various countries and to the hands of his Qi general Tian Dan.
Of course, King Lu Bai of Qi did not directly withdraw troops from Tian Dan and return reinforcements. After all, he was also a discerning and knowledgeable monarch. He just asked Tian Dan to make his own decision - if he really couldn't capture Daliang and defeat Wei
, then Tian Dan might as well lead the army back to the country to relieve the crisis in his country.
It has to be said that in fact, King Lu Bai of Qi also understood very well that if he missed this opportunity to severely damage the Wei State, then not only his Qi State, but all the countries in the Central Plains would be suppressed by the Wei State in the future.
