Chapter 339: All the way to the north, all the way to the west

Spring is here.

The earth has regained its vitality, and green has replaced white and has become the main theme of everyone.

On the bank of the rolling Yellow River, a large army is crossing the river.

Although all ships within fifty miles of the upstream and downstream have been collected, the speed of crossing the river still does not seem to satisfy Kuangliang, the Grand Marshal of Qi.

"Can the army all cross the river within three days?" Kuang Liang asked to the staff beside him.

This Qi State's Grand Sima is now in his forties. His face is square and he looks like he is powerful without anger and has a strong aura.

Someone replied: "General, the number of ships recruited is insufficient, and it may take at least five to six days."

Kuang Liang frowned, and a look of anger appeared on his tough face.

"Since that's the case, then order the front army not to stop after crossing the river and continue to go north!"

Half an hour later, the Qi army vanguard team, who had crossed the river, began to move slowly and soon disappeared from Kuang Liang's sight.

Someone advised: "General, we don't actually need to be so anxious."

Kuang Liang came over and glared at the staff member who was talking like this: "It's simply nonsense. Have you never heard of such a fast Binggui?"

"But Yan State was defeated by Zhao State one after another, and according to his subordinates, the Yan army should be not worth worrying."

Kuang Liang shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Huang Xie, the Chunshen Jun of Chu, was defeated by this general because he underestimated the enemy too much. How could this general repeat Huang Xie's mistake? Without further ado, you will return to the army immediately and order the entire army to speed up. I will enter the territory of Yan in five days!"

After the many generals around him left, Kuang Liang stared at the surging eastward water of the Yellow River in front of him, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

Five days ago, Kuang Liang, who was still besieging Pengcheng, suddenly received the tiger talisman and handwritten order from King Jian of Qi.

This warrant clearly requires Kuang Liang to immediately lift the siege of Pengcheng and lead his army north to prepare to attack Yan State, and inform Kuang Liang that the purpose of attacking Yan State was to support Gongzi Ke, the son of Queen Yan, to become the next King of Yan.

When Kuang Liang saw this order, he was very confused.

Prince Ke, the young master of Yan State, Kuang Liang, was not very clear about it, but what Kuang Liang knew very well was that the Queen Yan was born to the same mother as Zhao Dan, the current king of Zhao State.

"It seems that the king is going to choose to be an ally with Zhao State again..." Kuang Liang's face was a little complicated.

Over the years, Kuang Liang participated in almost every war between Qi and Zhao, and was defeated by Zhao General Lian Po every time.

This led to a very strange feeling in Kuang Liang's heart whenever he thought of Zhao State, and he was a little unacceptable to the fact that he regarded Zhao State as an ally.

But since there are tiger talismans and warrants, the order sent to Kuang Liang is beyond doubt.

Therefore, Kuang Liang faithfully implemented this order, and immediately removed the siege of Pengcheng, and led his 200,000 Qi martial artists to head north quickly.

As long as you cross the Yellow River, you will be able to pass through the Qi-Yan border and begin to enter the Yan Kingdom for about two to three days.

According to the requirements of King Jian of Qi's order, General Kuang Liang led these 200,000 martial artists to Wuyang, Xia Guo of Yan, and then fought a battle of one or two, and should be able to successfully support Gongzi Ke.

It sounds quite simple.

But to be honest, Kuang Liang always has a bad premonition in his heart.

You should know that Kuang Liang's father Kuang Zhang also took advantage of the civil turmoil in Yan, and under the instruction of King Xuan of Qi, he led the army of Qi to attack Yan, hoping to take advantage of the situation to completely annex Yan.

However, Qi's actions were boycotted by the other princes. Under the joint force of the three princes of Qin, Chu and Zhao, Kuang Zhang finally had to lead Qi's army to withdraw from Yan State.

This war sowed the seeds of hatred between Yan and Qi. King Zhao of Yan regarded this as a great humiliation of Yan's country, and worked hard to open a golden platform to attract talents from all over the world. Finally, he took revenge on Qi with the five countries' attack on Qi.

Although Kuang Zhang's youngest son, Kuang Liang was not born when Kuang Zhang defeated Yan last time, he was certainly very clear about the few black dots Kuang Liang in his father's life.

If possible, Kuang Liang would rather fight against the three coalition forces of Zhao, Wei and Chu led by Wei Wuji, the famous Xinling Jun, and were not willing to go north to attack the Yan Kingdom, which is still in the cold weather.

"Your will be hard to do." Kuang Liang looked at the water surging eastward in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

Wei Wuji, the prime minister of the Wei State who was still confronting Kuangliang on the Pengcheng defense line a few days ago, did not have so much emotion and sorrow.

At this moment, Wei Wuji was walking side by side with General Ju Xin of Zhao.

There was also an army beside Wei Wuji. The Three Kingdoms coalition, which had a total of 150,000 people, had just passed Chen Ying, the capital of Chu, and marched rapidly towards Wancheng further west.

Although he had long known that the situation in Wancheng was already in danger, Wei Wuji looked at him without any worry. At least he could chat with Ju Xin around him with a smile.

"Juzi, you are a talented person in the world, why should you be under Pang Qi? If Juzi is willing to come to Wei State, then Wuji is willing to speak out to the king and let Juzi take office as the general, what about?"

After the previous general of Wei State, Jin Bi, was killed by Wei Wuji in the Battle of Changping, the position of general of Wei State is still in a vacant position.

This is the highest leadership position of the Wei State military. Wei Wuji can be said to be quite sincere in being able to recruit Ju Xin with this position.

Ju Xin, who was already covered in white hair, rode on the horse with straight figure. Although his temples were gray, he was still energetic.

After hearing Wei Wuji's words, Ju Xin's face moved slightly. After a while, he said, "Xinling Jun praised it. The king ordered Pang Qing to travel thousands of miles from Yan State to visit Ju Xin. This is to appreciate Ju Xin. Although Ju Xin is not talented, he will not betray the King."

The king mentioned by Ju Xin is obviously not the king mentioned by Wei Wuji.

After being rejected, Wei Wuji didn't look much angry, but shook his head with some regrets: "It's really a pity that Juzi doesn't want to return to Wei. If Juzi doesn't want to be an official in Handan one day, then Daliang welcomes Juzi's arrival at any time."

Ju Xin nodded, but did not answer.

In Ju Xin's opinion, he is already a man of age. Maybe he will reach the age of heaven, and it will probably be the fate of Zhao State to die.

In this case, it seems unnecessary to talk about anything.

Wei Wuji looked really good, so he quickly started another new topic.

"Mr. Ju Xin, I heard that the King of Yan has returned to heaven in vain."

The expression on Ju Xin's face changed slightly, and she looked a little surprised. After a while, she said, "Take it serious?"

Wei Wuji laughed and looked at Ju Xin in front of him and said, "Did King Zhao not tell Ju Zi about this?"

Ju Xin shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Ju Xin is now a general of Zhao State. What does the life and death of King Yan have to do with Ju Xin?"

Wei Wuji smiled meaningfully and said to Ju Xin: "The prosperity of King Zhao of Yan back then was achieved because of Ju Zi, inside and outside. Now, King Zhao does not use Ju Zi to deal with internal affairs, but instead appointed Ju Zi as a general. It is really a talent, a talent."

Ju Xin's eyes flashed and he remained silent.

Obviously, Ju Xin doesn't want to talk about this topic.

"Mr. Ju Xin, based on the information I just received, the Qi army that besieged Pengcheng a few days ago is now not far from the Qiyan border. Does Mr. Ju Xin know why the Qi army suddenly headed north?"

"I don't know." Ju Xin's answer was very short.

Wei Wuji watched Ju Xinyi deeply and suddenly said, "I heard that King Zhao wanted to make the adoptive son of Queen Yan, Gongzi Ke, the King of Yan. I wonder if General Ju Xin knew about this?"

This time, Ju Xin finally showed a surprised expression on his face.

But soon, the surprised expression on Ju Xin's face disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by a calm face.

"This matter is the matter of the king, but it is not something Ju Xin can care about."

Wei Wuji smiled and looked at Ju Xin, and stopped talking.

Regarding Wei Wuji, due to the existence of that extremely complete intelligence network, there are few things in the Wei Kingdom that can be hidden from Wei Wuji, and even things around King Wei are no exception.

So although Wei Wuji is not in Luoyi at this moment, he is very familiar with what happened in Luoyi.

It is precisely because of this knowledge that, combined with the order from Luoyi a few days ago, requesting the Three Kingdoms coalition forces to advance westward to reinforce Wancheng, Wei Wuji used his intelligence and his intelligence to think for a while, and then came up with the guesses he had just said about Ju Xin.

In Wei Wuji's opinion, Ju Xin was no matter how much he said that he was an important official in Yan State for decades. Therefore, if Zhao State had any intention of Yan State, he would definitely let Ju Xin do some efforts in it.

Although Ju Xin told Wei Wuji nothing, Wei Wuji already had his own answer in his heart from Ju Xin's reaction.

For Wei Wuji, this is enough.

Beside the two, 150,000 Three Kingdoms coalition forces rolled westward, like a long dragon.

In the city called Wancheng hundreds of miles away, the 200,000 Chu troops led by Jingyang are waiting for the arrival of this reinforcement army.

Can Wei Wuji arrive in Wancheng in time?
