Chapter 230 Battle Situation
Qi State, Linzi
King Jian of Qi summoned Prime Minister Hou Sheng because he received a letter from the King of Qin.
"Prime Minister, look at what the King of Qin said in this letter, did I agree or not?"
King Tian Jian of Qi, whose mother was a famous strong woman in the Warring States Period and the Queen. Tian Jian was cowardly and had a soft ear. In the past, his mother was in charge of major affairs in the court. After the Queen passed away, the power was attributed to her younger brother, Prime Minister Empress.
Hou Sheng took the silk book from Tian Jian, quickly glanced at several columns, and screamed in surprise: "Reduce the transaction tax of Qi Shang! The King of Qin is so generous?"
The commercial tax of Qin was very heavy, but Qi still made a lot of profits from Qin and Qi's commercial trade. At this time, Ying Zheng agreed to reduce the transaction tax of Qi Shang, and Qi was considered a big profit.
He immediately suggested: "King, the King of Qin asked me to station troops in Pinglu, but he did not ask us to send troops to attack anyone? Where is the station troops not station?
What's more, our Qi and Qin have just joined forces, and the King of Qin gave up such a big profit shows his sincerity. I think it would be better to agree to him for this small matter. It would also be better to let Princess Guili over the Chu people in the Qin Palace."
"Well, it makes sense. Then I will station troops in Pinglu, and I will reply to the King of Qin."
Tian Jian thought about Hou Sheng's words and agreed. He was about to start writing and recall something:
"Hey~ In the Qin Palace, is the King of Qin more close to Chu State or our Qi State?"
"I believe that I am more close to the Chu State now. The marriage between Qin and Chu is stable, Changping Jun Xiong Qi serves as the censor, and the Mi surname also has important positions."
"It's a pity that Lu Yan... If he promised to marry his younger sister, I don't have to worry about Gui Li."
Suddenly someone came to report outside the hall, "King, military information of the State of Chu."
"Come in."
"The King of Chu has Xiang Yan as the main general and Long Zhan as the deputy general, and sent 100,000 troops to rescue the State of Wei."
Tian Jian stood up in surprise, "What?"
Hou Sheng held the Qin silk book in his hand and also pretended to be shocked.
"Can the King of Qin actually predict? Chu sent troops to aid Wei, and he asked me to station troops in Pinglu. Xiang Yan must be concerned about our army's rear attack on him and dare not fight with all his strength."
Hou Sheng shouted loudly: "King, this is Princess Guili. The State of Chu hates the King of Qin, so the King of Qin will definitely be more close to our Qi State."
Tian Jian decisively ordered: "I sent an edict to station troops in Pinglu, and make a big noise and quickly let Xiang Yan know."
Many days later, Xiang Yan, who led his army to the Chu-Wei border, received the news.
Qi, which had not fought for 40 years, suddenly stationed troops in the Pinglu generation near Wei, which put him in a dilemma.
If the army continues to advance, Qi may cut off its retreat, and the army will lose its food and grass supply and will inevitably collapse without fighting.
If the army does not advance, the army will return without success, and the money and food they consume and the reputation of losing will not be afforded by the Xiang clan.
Xiang Yan ordered the entire army to stop temporarily and gather the generals in the army to discuss the matter.
"Qi State has been timid for so many years, and suddenly became tough. There must be something strange about this."
Long Zhan first said: "The people of Qi are weak and have no name generals. How dare he stop me from the Great Chu? In my opinion, it is just a bluff. Let's leave a side army. If Qi dares to move, he will destroy him!"
A group of passionate main combat generals agreed with his words, and some persistent generals opposed it.
Zhaoping bowed to Xiang Yan, who was in charge of the position, "Qin and Qi are in a good alliance. This matter must be instructed by Qin. General Long should not be taken lightly. If not, our army is afraid of danger."
Xiang Yan listened to the opinions and decided to calm down first, "Doctor Zhao's words make sense. Qi State is abnormal, so you must be careful.
The people came and sent spies to find out the situation of the Qi army and contacted the king to investigate the Qi court. As for the army, we will set up camp nearby for the time being."
"promise."
...
The originally planned blitzkrieg defeat of Yuan Puyan has become a major event that swept the seven countries in the step-by-step struggle between various forces.
Yang Duanhe and Wang Ben led the Qin army to 150,000, Lian Po and Gongsun Yao's Wei army also had nearly 150,000, and 300,000 people fought on the Puyang battlefield. At the same time, a duel between the Mohist institutions and the domineering institutions also appeared.
Wang Jian's troops left Taiyuan, and the 100,000 Qin troops confronted Pang Nuan's 100,000 Zhao troops. The two sides fought in a tacit understanding.
On the land southwest of Yishui, Yan Yi led 100,000 Yan troops. With the help of the Yan people in the occupied land, He Lecheng's 100,000 Zhao troops were killed to the darkness of the sky and the sun and the moon, and the blood feud of Yan and Zhao went further.
The Chu State assisted Xiang Yan's 100,000 troops of the State of Wei. Because Qi State stationed troops to Pinglu, it temporarily stopped at the border, waiting for specific information and further instructions from the King of Chu.
Han Weizhuang and Ji Yihu led 50,000 troops, directly entered the territory of Wei, and headed for the Puyang battlefield; Bai Yifei's 100,000 White Armored Army was ready to be prepared for the Qin army.
Qin State, Xianyang
Ying Zheng accepted information from all over the world and allowed people to put out military information on the battlefield of the seven countries.
Wei Zhuang, Wang Wan, Xiong Qi, Li Si, Meng Wu and Meng Tian gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
By the way, there is Gai Nie.
Ying Zheng told everyone about the Korean intelligence and said to Gai Nie: "Sir, as you said, Wei Zhuang didn't know how to convince Ji Wuye and Bai Yifei, forcibly sent 50,000 troops to support Wei. Wei Zhuang led his own troops."
Gai Nie bowed his order, "Your Majesty, I am willing to go to the Puyang battlefield."
"No hurry, let's talk about it after the conversation. This is a letter sent by the national teacher from Chu State. You can take a look first."
Ying Zheng first passed a letter to Gai Nie, and after reading it, he passed it to everyone.
Xiong Qi sighed as he looked at the current situation of fighting everywhere, "A quick battle will turn into such a stalemate, and the plan will not keep up with the changes."
After reading the letter, Meng Wu praised repeatedly: "Your Majesty, I think the National Master is very reasonable. On the south bank of Yishui, Yan Zhao killed nine out of ten families, and the already weak Yan State is almost abandoned;
In this battle between the Great Qin Dynasty, we ate the last 120,000 elite troops of Wei, the only strong White Army, Han, and these two armies, and Han and Wei basically declared the country destroyed.
If Han Wei loses his power and Zhao Yan's blood feud, then Zhao State will not be far from being destroyed. The only opponent of my Great Qin is the state of Chu."
Meng Tian also agreed: "The last general also agreed with what the National Master said, to directly launch troops in Nanyang and destroy the White Armored Army."
Li Si stood up and said: "For our Daqin, there are only Puyang battlefield and Nanyang battlefield, which are the most critical.
Yuan Puyan and the three places must be eliminated, and the last 120,000 elite troops in the Wei State must be destroyed, but now General Duanhe has fallen into a disadvantage. Those gangsters with powerful martial arts in the Mo family, who cooperate with the mechanism beasts, are unable to resist on the battlefield.
This allows the National Master to quickly complete the mission in Chu State, bring a net to support the Puyang battlefield, and deal with those roaming gangsters.
As for the Nanyang battlefield, Bai Yifei led a hundred thousand white armored troops, which is also a tricky person.”
Meng Wu asked for battle loudly after hearing this: "Baijia Army? Ten years ago, they attacked and killed a group of Baiyue barbarians, and were yelled to heaven by Han. The king asked me to go and destroy him!"
Meng Tian's hand was only half stretched out, but his father snatched it first and put it down embarrassedly.
Ying Zheng laughed loudly, took Meng Wu's hand and said, "General Meng Wu takes action, I can rest assured."
He looked at Meng Tian next to him again, "Meng Tian, you are the deputy general, and you and your son will take down Nanyang for me."
Meng Wu and Meng Tian looked at each other and knelt excitedly, "The Qin Dynasty has won thousands of victories!"
Ying Zheng then looked at the two prime ministers left, "Wei Zhuang, Wang Wan, stop the canal and gather the strength of the whole country to win this war first. All the food, grass, copper and iron are mainly in the army."
The two received the order, "No."
"Gai Nie, you will lead the troops to reinforce Yang Duanhe."
"Thank you, your lord."
"Zhao Gao, let one side bring a net to support Puyang. At the same time, he also urged the national teacher to postpone the affairs of the farm and ensure the victory of the war first."
