Chapter 285: Hint [Two in One](1/2)
The "people of Wei" mentioned by Huan Hu undoubtedly refer to Wei Shao, the commander-in-chief of Wei State, and Wei Yun, the Marquis of Juancheng, and Weizhen, the Marquis of Tanyuan.
At this time, in the commander's tent in the Wei army camp, Wei Shao, Wei Yun, and Wei Zhen were gathering together to talk about the matter of "King Wei's response to the battle."
"The King of Wei should not accept the challenge."
When this matter was mentioned, Tan Yuanhou Weizhen couldn't help but sigh.
Hearing this, Wei Shao and Wei Yun both nodded in agreement.
Seeing this scene, it seems that people have an illusion: these three generals of the Wei Kingdom are not from the "United Forces of All Nations" camp. How can they be thinking about the safety of the Wei Kingdom?
It has to be said that Chen Shou secretly called the Weiguo soldiers and generals vacillating, which was actually very prepared.
In fact, Wei Shao, Wei Yun, and Wei Zhen were indeed well prepared: if all signs showed that Wei was about to win, then they would immediately fall to Wei's camp - if Wei was forced to do so due to the Battle of Daliang
However, because of the resentment and unwillingness to accept the surrender of Wei State, Wei State turned to Qi and Lu and formed the "Qi, Lu, Wei and Wei Three Kingdoms Alliance" to resist the two major camps of Wei and Chu.
Having said that, if the Wei State is severely damaged in this battle, then they will also fall to the camp of the "Qi, Lu, Wei, Three Kingdoms Alliance", but they may still have contact with the Wei State in private.
All in all, Weiguo's choice is to have both sides and adopt a "weak and weak alliance" strategy.
The reason why Chu is excluded is simply because if Chu defeats Wei this time, this country will become unprecedentedly powerful. In this way, it will also become the target of Wei's "weak alliance".
However, from a selfish point of view, these three generals of the Wei Kingdom certainly hope that the Wei State can win - of course, it is best if Wei King Zhao Run can also pardon their Wei State's previous crime of betrayal and assisting the coalition forces of other countries to attack Daliang - the reason is very simple, because Wei Guo
Wang Zhaorun's biological mother "Little
"Wei Ji" is the daughter of Wei. In addition, when Wei Gong Ziyu died inexplicably last time, Wei King Zhao Run did not sanction him for his cousin. Therefore, Wei Shao, Wei Yun and Wei Zhen believed that Wei Wei
Wang Zhaorun has always had feelings for him to defend his country.
Therefore, from the bottom of their hearts, Wei Shao and the other three people hope that Wei will continue to drag the coalition forces of other countries until the latter runs out of food and grass and collapses without a fight. If the coalition forces really run out of food and grass, Wei Shao and others do not rule out the possibility.
He would secretly send someone to inform the Wei army.
Although this move seems shameful, there is nothing to be done about it. This is the way for Weiguo, a weak country, to survive.
After Wei Gongziyu's death, the country has completely decayed from the inside, just like South Korea, which has lost Han Wangran and Lihou Hanwu successively. Although the country seems to still exist, it is actually dead and can no longer deal with it.
What big changes will the general trend of the Central Plains cause?
While Wei Shao, Wei Yun, and Wei Zhen were talking, suddenly a guard from outside the tent came in, clasped his fists towards the coach Wei Shao and said: "General, someone handed a letter to the gatekeeper of the camp.
Said it was for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard general following him took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.
"For me?"
Wei Shao, Wei Yun, and Wei Zhen looked at each other, then stood up, took the letter, opened it, and read it.
At first, his face was quite calm, but gradually, his face became more and more ugly, and in the end, his face was full of complex expressions of shock, fear, and anger.
He suddenly asked the general: "Who sent this letter?"
The general shook his head and said: "The man was wearing the armor of the Chu army, but he did not reveal his identity. He left a letter and left."
"Soldiers of Chu?"
Wei Shao frowned deeply and stared at the letter in his hand for a long time without saying anything.
Seeing this, Tan Yuanhou Weizhen asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
I saw Wei Shao giving Wei Yun and Wei Zhen a "I'll talk about it later" look, and immediately ordered the general: "Please step back first."
"Yes!" The general retreated as he was told.
Afterwards, Wei Shao immediately ordered the guards outside the tent to strengthen their vigilance and not allow anyone to approach the commander's tent.
After making arrangements, he returned to his seat.
"What's going on?"
Tan Yuanhou Weizhen asked in surprise.
In his opinion, some major change must have occurred, otherwise Wei Shao would not have asked his personal guards to strengthen the security of the commander's tent.
I saw Wei Shao placing the letter in his hand on the desk in front of him, beckoning Wei Yun and Wei Zhen in front of him, and after they sat down on the other side of the desk in front of him, he lowered his voice and said
: "Someone told me through this letter that the Wei State defeated South Korea last year and made South Korea surrender to the Wei State. After the spring of this year, Wei State's Zhao Jiang, Pang Huan, Zhou Kui and others are leading the Wei-Korean coalition forces
A large-scale attack on Qi..."
"What?!"
Wei Yun, the Marquis of Juancheng, who had just sat down on the other side of the desk in front of Wei Shao, sat upright in shock and shouted in a daze with a look of horror on his face: "Is this happening?!"
"Shh!" Wei Shao immediately made a silencing gesture.
Juancheng Houwei Yun Rumu woke up from his dream and quickly lowered his voice and said in shock: "Really, seriously?"
Seeing this, Wei Shao then signaled to Wei Yun, and Wei Zhen and Wei Zhen would finish reading the letter first before talking.
After half a stick of incense, Wei Yun and Wei Zhen read the contents of the letter word for word, neither of them knew what to say.
South Korea has been formed into an alliance by the Wei State, and the elites of the Wei State are currently attacking Qi State. This clearly means that the Wei State has achieved the key to victory.
The question is, are these news true?
And, who tipped them off?
What is the other party’s purpose?
"How true do you two think what is said in the letter is?" Wei Shao asked in a low voice.
After hearing this, Juancheng Hou Wei Shao frowned and said: "South Korea has General Le Yi to resist the Wei army. Logically speaking, South Korea cannot be defeated so quickly, right? What's more, if what is stated in the letter is true, Wei
Zhao Jiang of the State is currently attacking Qi State, why is Tian Dan of Qi State still here? Shouldn't he return to help his country quickly?"
"No no no."
Tan Yuanhou Wei Zhen shook his head and said: "I think it's just the opposite... General Wei Shao, do you still remember the reaction of Chu Shuijun and Tian Dan that day? That day, Chu Shuijun summoned all the generals and asked us to step up the attack on the Wei army and force them to
When the Wei army fought a decisive battle with our army, I felt that Chu Shuijun's move was too urgent, as if he had something unspeakable, but he refused to reveal it..."
"Hmm."
Wei Shao nodded and recalled: "Afterwards, I asked Tian Dan, and he explained that it was because of a shortage of food and grass, but I always felt that the matter was not that simple."
Having said this, he lowered his head and glanced at the letter that was put back on the table, frowned and said: "Perhaps, what is stated in the letter is indeed true... The question is, who tipped us off?
, and what is the other party’s purpose?”
After hearing this, Hou Weizhen of Tanyuan also thought hard and said: "There is no way he is from Chu. I believe that the messenger is wearing the armor of the Chu army, just to deceive others... but he is definitely from the coalition army."
Wei Shao nodded and said: "I think so too... Within the coalition army, there are only soldiers and generals from Chu, Qi, Yue and Lu. Let's eliminate our Wei Kingdom and Chu army first... Logically speaking, it is impossible.
That is to say, it should be among the Qi army or the Lu army..."
"It won't be Qi."
Wei Zhen shook his head and said: "Since the death of King Lu Xi of Qi, the relationship between Qi and Wei has become increasingly bad. At that time, the arrogant Qi people looked down on the Wei people, and the Wei people looked down on the Qi people. Logically speaking, the Qi army
There should be no one in the country who secretly turns to Wei..."
"In other words, it is the Lu State? No way?"
Wei Yun said in surprise.
You know, Qi and Lu have the same interests. This is what Qi General Tian Dan and Lu Ji Wu often talk about. Even Wei Yun feels that the relationship between Qi and Lu should be unbreakable. How can they secretly turn to Wei?
After hearing this, Tan Yuanhou Wei Zhen said thoughtfully: "It may not be impossible... It should be noted that among the generals of the Lu State, except Ji Wu, who is from Lu, Huan Hu is from Han, and Chen Shou is from Wei. It is said that Huan Hu and
Both Chen Shou and Chen Shou have some connections with the Wei State."
"Huan Hu? Chen Shou?"
Wei Yun looked at Wei Zhen in disbelief.
Maybe other people don’t know about Huan Hu and Chen Shou, so how can he, Wei Guo, not know about them?
Who is Huan Hu? He was a daring and evil bandit. He led hundreds of mounted bandits to try to kidnap Zhao Si, the late king of Wei State, and later went on to cause chaos in Wei State. This man's wanted order was in Wei State for twenty years.
——The wanted order clearly states that whoever captures and kills Huan Hu will receive a reward of 50,000 yuan, regardless of life or death.
You are telling me that such an important criminal who is wanted by the Wei State may have an affair with the Wei State?
After Jing Wei Yun said this, Tan Yuan Hou Weizhen also became a little unconfident. He frowned and muttered: "Is it that Chen Shou?"
But if you think about it carefully, Chen Shou is also a wanted criminal in Wei State.
It is said that this man was from the "Yangwu Army" of the Wei State. Before betraying the Wei State, he was the chief of the army. Later, for unknown reasons, he was imprisoned in Shangshui County by the then Wei Gongzi Run, but was attacked by the evil bandit Huanhu in retaliation.
He was rescued in Shuixian County, and later fled to Song County with Huan Hu.
Although this person is not as good as Xiao Luan, Huan Hu and other "Great Evils of Wei" who have always been on the wanted list in the Wei State, the Wei State has not removed the wanted list of Chen Shou so far.
For a person like this, you tell me that he has an affair with the state of Wei?
Just when Wei Yun and Wei Zhen were arguing, Wei Shao shook his head and said: "No!... I don't care about Huan Hu for the moment, but Chen Shou is very possible. Of course, he is also a wanted criminal in Wei State.
It's true, but don't forget that his father Chen Bing was enshrined in Zhaoling County by the Wei State in the name of a "loyal hero". The local government even built an ancestral hall for his father for the Wei people in Zhaoling to pay their respects and mourn...
…I think Chen Shou should have no resentment towards Wei State."
Hearing this, Wei Yun and Wei Zhen nodded repeatedly. After all, Wei Shao's analysis was indeed well-organized.
"Why don't you go test it out?" Wei Yun suggested.
Wei Shao raised his hand to stop Wei Yun, shook his head and said: "No... First of all, we are not sure that it is Chen Shou, and contacting him hastily may cause unnecessary trouble."
"Then what should we do?" Tan Yuan Hou Weizhen said with a frown.
Wei Shao pressed his hand to signal for calmness, and then lowered his voice and said: "Before considering this matter, the three of us must reach an agreement on which side to vote for between the Wei State and the Allied Forces?"
Indeed, this is the most fundamental problem.
For half a stick of incense, Tanyuan Hou Weizhen and Juancheng Hou Weiyun pondered in silence.
