Chapter 504 A reliable king is still very important
Although Gaotang City is a big city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, if more than 100,000 troops are suddenly stuffed into it, it will obviously be a little too crowded.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this reason that Wei Wuji did not lead his Wei army into the city, but simply let the 30,000 Pinglucheng Qi troops who followed him all the way into the city.
Judging from the fear that the General Pinglucheng tried his best to hide but was still noticed by Wei Wuji, it was obviously not a good thing waiting for him.
Anyway, since that day, Wei Wuji has never seen the General Pinglucheng again.
Wei Wuji chose to camp five miles southeast of Gaotang City.
Correspondingly, the camp of the Zhao army is located in the northeast of Gaotang City.
From the perspective of terrain, this is obviously very unfavorable for the siege of the Zhao army.
After all, the Wei people could easily restrain the Zhao people who were siegeing the city from the flanks at any time. And even if they were not satisfied, the Qi people could withdraw from Gaotang City and retreat south calmly.
Judging from the situation on this battlefield alone, the situation of Zhao Jun is actually not good, and he may even be at a slight disadvantage.
But the reason why war is complicated is that it is not just the things that are manifested on the battlefield.
If you want to win a war, it is not just that the three armies need to command the generals properly.
It also requires sufficient logistics, strong armor and shields, sharp swords, and powerful crossbows.
More importantly, we need a monarch who can delegate power, does not like to command blindly, and maintains sufficient trust in front-line generals.
Neither King Jian of Qi nor King Wei nor Wang of Wei belonged to such a king.
This is why, just a few days later, the commander of Qi, Kuang Liang, came to Wei Wuji with a wry smile on his face.
Wei Wuji received Kuang Liang very politely and politely.
Kuang Liang went straight to the point: "Xinling Jun, maybe it should be the time to take the initiative to fight Lian Po."
Wei Wuji didn't seem to be much surprised and asked with a smile: "Why?"
Kuang Liang smiled bitterly on his face: "Lejian led the 100,000 Yan troops to win three consecutive battles. Now he has crossed the Ji River and surrounded Linzi. The king has ordered people to tell Yu Wu that if he cannot defeat the Zhao army within ten days, then the king will remove me from his position and restart peace talks with Zhao."
Wei Wuji shook his head gently and said, "If this is the case, then the Zhao State will definitely speak out in the negotiations and ask for more chips. Didn't the King of Qi think about this?"
Kuang Liang was speechless and could only smile bitterly.
Fortunately, Wei Wuji was just talking, but he made concessions in the end.
"If that's the case, then let's go to war in five days. I wonder what General Kuang Liang thinks?"
Kuang Liang was overjoyed when he heard this: "I would like to thank Mr. Xinling!"
With just the 150,000 people in Kuang Liang's hands, if Wei Wuji did not support him, something big would definitely happen.
Of course, even if Qi and Wei join forces, they may not be the opponent of Zhao's army in the end.
But under such circumstances, being able to join forces with the Wei army to start a war against the Zhao army was the best result that Kuang Liang could win for himself and the Qi army.
After sending away Kuang Liang, who had been thankful for his gratitude, Wei Wuji returned to the tent alone.
After a moment of silence, Wei Wuji also showed a helpless bitter smile on his face.
In fact, a king who can use the king's order to suppress others is more than a King Jian of Qi?
These days, the messengers of King Wei were almost one after another, and there was only one order that Wei Wuji could end the war in Gaotang as soon as possible, so as to return to Chaoge to fight against the invading Korean army!
In fact, this time Wei Wuji did not bring all the troops of Wei. The King of Wei, who learned from the past, left 50,000 soldiers in Taoyi to protect himself.
Of course, Wei Wuji can also reject the request of King Wei for the reason that he will not accept the orders of the outside king this time, but Wei Wuji knew very well that he would never do this.
This is the first time that Wei Wuji has disobeyed the orders of King Wei.
It was a time to steal the talisman to save Zhao during the Battle of Changping.
This is the second time that he refused to return to help during the Battle of Handan.
If you add this one, it will be the third time.
The previous two disobediences had a very adverse impact on Wei Wuji, but they were also reversed by Wei Wuji one after another.
But this time the situation was different. After all, the scandal caused by Wei Wuji during the New Year itself had already caused him to lose face, and many people have begun to move closer to the King of Wei, either openly or secretly.
Wei Wuji's power is slowly disintegrating.
If another incident of disobedience occurs, not only will Wei Wuji's reputation fall to the bottom, but his team will collapse at a faster pace, but King Wei and Duan Ganzi will also choose to attack Wei Wuji.
In fact, Wei Wuji, like Kuang Liang, had no choice.
Only by winning and achieving a victory that makes everyone shut up can Wei Wuji emerge from this internal and external troublesome environment.
What if it fails?
Wei Wuji forced himself not to think about such consequences.
But sometimes the more you control yourself and don’t think about it, the more you have to stubbornly occupy a position in your mind.
After a long time, Xinlingjun, who had always been known for his wisdom and wiseness, finally gave up his efforts to confront his thoughts and sighed softly.
"It's probably just imprisoned or beheaded."
Whether it is imprisonment or beheading, it is obviously a complete bad thing for Wei Wuji.
But what is strange is that when Wei Wuji said this, his tone seemed very calm, as if all the negative emotions had disappeared from the previous sigh.
Wei Wuji picked up the pen and started writing.
A moment later, Zhong Cheng, who was ordered, appeared in front of Wei Wuji.
Wei Wuji picked up the bamboo slip with the ink marks in his hand and handed it to Zhong Cheng.
"Zhong Cheng, please send someone to send this letter of war to the Zhao army camp."
Zhong Cheng took the bamboo slip and subconsciously glanced at the bamboo slip.
There are only five very simple words above.
"Will the battle be fought in five days?"
About an hour later, the Feng Zhanshu returned to Wei Wuji's hands again.
Compared with just now, there is a large character with silver hooks and iron markings on the Zhan Book.
"war!"
For some reason, when he saw this murderous Zhao Guowen, Wei Wuji's mouth suddenly curled gently and smiled very much.
