Chapter 674 I won't go to this game, I'll let you fight to the end

After another fierce attack by the Jin army, a large number of rebel soldiers guarding the city looked dull and leaned behind the walls to rest. The vicious military academy also ordered the people who were forced to collect the bodies of the people in the city to use wooden blocks and stones to repair the city walls.

Outside the city, there were also large pieces of damaged siege equipment and stacked remains of soldiers. The air was filled with a disgusting smell, and no matter inside and outside the city, there were also tragic scenes full of devastation.

Zhang Wenli, who was looking forward to the reinforcements of the Wei Dynasty, was nervous tightly all day long, and became increasingly violent and sensitive... He knew very well that Wang Rong, the king of Zhao, who killed the monarch and adopted father, was particularly bloody and cruel, and of course he would be criticized.

The army of Jin State came to attack and was under great pressure. Zhang Wenli was suspicious all day long, worried about whether anyone would think of his head, and asked Jin State for credit and reward... Therefore, he was not only becoming more and more irritable, but also followed thousands of guards around him when he was supervising the city defense affairs every day. Anyone who made Zhang Wenli suspicious would rather kill the wrong person than let him go, but began to kill the military and civilians in the city (after Zhang Wenli killed Wang Rong, according to historical records, "Wen Li was a villain who suddenly lived above the people, and he was uneasy when he walked. When he left, more than a thousand people followed him with his blades, and killed him every day.")...

However, when Zhang Wenli was waiting for the Wei Dynasty, the "reinforcements" of the Wei Dynasty, arrived at Shahe County in southern Zhaozhou, he stopped marching. But above the city, there were several flags waving in the wind. However, the most conspicuous thing was that one of them had the big "Jin" embroidered on one side, which also represented which force had taken over the Xiazhou Prefecture of Zhaozhou.

A Zhao army general walked to the wall. He looked calm and his face was frosty. He was also Fu Xi, a long-time general who also had certain military power outside the country.

In theory, when Zhao State launched a mutiny, the Wei Dynasty, as the nominal sect leader, had every reason to send troops to intervene. However, Fu Xi looked around the Wei army outside the city coldly and suddenly said loudly:

"Although there are rebellious ministers in the country of Gui, fortunately, the King of Jin has sent troops to assist in the fight against the rebels, but your country has also sent troops... They were not in charge of their respective ranks, but they were afraid that there would be troubles. The country of Gui is now in trouble and is really unwilling to add troops and disasters in vain. The temple cannot accommodate the big Buddha, and Zhaozhou is currently unable to receive your country's military. Everyone... please come back!"

"It's unreasonable! Since King Zhao has praised his majesty to our dynasty, it is natural for a rebel minister to usurp the throne. It is natural for our army to send troops to take over Zhending City! But why did Fu Xi say that he invited the reinforcements from Jin State? This clearly did not take our Wei Dynasty seriously!"

In front of the Wei army array, Gao Xinggui immediately showed anger and immediately cursed. However, Gao Xingzhou quickly rode his horse to him and immediately advised:

"Brother, don't be reckless! You must keep in mind your Majesty's will. If Jin has sent troops to take over Zhaozhou first and block our army's road to the north, you can just return to Bianjing and report to Your Majesty!"

Gao Xinggui looked angry, and his eyebrows were mixed with some confusion:

"But... Your Majesty really told me that? Taking advantage of the fact that there are traitors in Zhao State who are in charge and usurping power and seizing the throne, isn't this a great opportunity for our dynasty to take advantage of the situation to annex Zhao State? Your Majesty... What did he think? Jin State colluded with Fu Xi and other killing talents and would inevitably covet the territory of Zhao State. Could it be that those states really wanted to surrender to Jin State?"

Gao Xinggui hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but shake his head:

"Your Majesty is far-sighted, but I don't know his plan... But Your Majesty must have foresight, and we just need to act according to the order. Since the Jin army has arrived in Zhaozhou first, the Fu Xi will obviously be in accordance with the State of Jin... There is no need to go north to Zhending City, just return here."

When Gao Xinggui heard this, he was angry and unwilling to accept the order, but he did not have the courage to openly resist the order. Therefore, he had to shout low, turn the horse head with Gao Xingzhou, and instruct the branches to turn back according to the original route.

On the gate of Shahe County, Fu Xi saw that the Wei army in front of him began to change direction in an orderly manner, and it seemed that he was planning to return to the south to evacuate... Although he breathed a sigh of relief, his face couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

The Wei Dynasty really gave up the annexation of our territory of Zhao just because the Jin State took the lead in occupying the key road.

Although Zhao had previously praised the Wei Dynasty, it was geographically closer to Jin State. When Fu Xi was young, she joined the Chengde Army vassal states as a dental school. Although she had met Hedong in the past, in the past, during the period of harmony, he had more contacts with Jin State's famous future generations. Therefore, Zhao State should have joined Wei or joined Jin State. Fu Xi's proposal was originally inclined to the latter.

Li Tianqu also knew that in the official history, Wang Rong was killed by Zhang Wenli, so Fu Xi took the initiative to cry and worship Li Cunxu, saying, "My aristocratic family Zhao was favored by King Zhao. The king once used a sword to help him. Now, when he heard that the king died, he wanted to punish himself with a sword. It was useless to think that the soldiers were useless. Please attack Zhao and defeat the thief and repay the king's injustice." Then, it was natural that Li Cunxu changed his country and became the emperor's Later Tang regime.

Therefore, there is no need for Guo Chongtao to be careful. Fu Xi was killed because of Wang Rong and no descendants of the royal family were willing to take over the entire territory of Zhao. However, considering the subordinate relationship between the Wei Dynasty and Zhao State... the Emperor of Wei would inevitably plan to annex Zhao State, and would not be able to watch the King of Jin strengthen his strength. Then the struggle for several states in Zhao State may become the fuse for the war between the two major countries of Wei and Jin.

The confidant of King Jin, Guo Chongtao, had said before that if the Wei Dynasty army wanted to forcibly kill to Zhending City, even if the time to openly fight against the Emperor of Wei is not yet ripe, King Jin, Li Cunxu, was ready for a full-scale war. After all, the territory of the states of Zhao State could no longer fall into the control of the Wei Dynasty. Fu Xi advised Gao Xingzhou and Gao Xinggui's brothers to retreat, but in fact, they had issued an order before that the Zhao army soldiers guarding Shahe were already holding their bows, arranged in an array, and were ready to pull out clusters of arrows to fire at any time... Some military soldiers also began to correct the bed crossbows, and even prepared all the equipment to defend the city. If the Wei army forcibly attacked the city, they would immediately face a storm-like counterattack...

Even if the Wei Dynasty army chose to bypass Shahe County and pass through the territory of Zhaozhou, they still had to rush to Zhending, Zhenzhou. But now there are several Jin troops gathering in the capital of Zhao State. If the Wei and Jin armies really want to fight at Zhending City, Guo Chongtao will immediately dispatch his troops to cut off the Wei army's retreat to form a situation of closing the door and fighting against the dog. Even if the battle ends, it means that they will completely tear apart with the Emperor of Wei, at least the entire territory of Zhao State will be taken over by the King of Jin.

But the Wei Dynasty military, who originally intended to go north... did he really retreat so easily?

Fu Xi was also confused. At least he knew it himself. He knew that based on his fame and the troops under his command, it was not enough to shock the Wei Dynasty army to retreat. I was already ready to fight to the death. As a result, you went to the city for a walk and then went back swaggeringly... What's the point?

However, even if Fu Xi wanted to lose his head, he could not think of the reason. He thought that he could only report the movements of the Wei army as soon as possible to Li Cunxu and Guo Chongtao, and the ruler and ministers of Jin would decide that it would be... But no matter what, after all, Emperor Wei gave up his plan to annex Zhao, the King of Jin would be happy to see it.

In this way, Gao Xingzhou, who was ordered by Li Tianqu, led his troops to the southern corner of Zhao State, but did not have any conflicts with Fu Xi's troops, and even the Jin army behind him, so he returned to Bianjing. Li Cunxu was still mobilizing his troops to attack Zhending City, the capital of Zhao State, and even allocated troops to rush to other prefectures, and he would have to occupy the entire territory of Zhao State as soon as possible.

However, at the same time, Wang Chuzhi was successfully persuaded to go north and volunteered to ask Khitan to protect the Beiping Kingdom. Wang Yu had also rushed to Liucheng County, the former Tang Dynasty. According to the will of Yelu Abaoji, the boundary of Jinzhou named after "built Jinzhou by Han prisoners", and immediately expressed his intention to come and requested a visit to the Khitan king...
