Chapter 187 Ying Zheng: Father-in-law, I have already met Afang
Zhao Feng immediately smiled and said: "Please let the commander-in-chief tell the king that Zhao Feng will never let him down. Within two months, the Wu'an camp will reach the Wei capital."
"The last general will definitely convey the general's words truthfully." Ren Xiao bowed immediately.
"Thank you." Zhao Feng nodded.
"The king's edict has been delivered, and the last general has resigned and returned to Xianyang to resume his duties."
"General, see you later." Ren Xiao said, walking towards the back and getting on his horse.
Seeing Ren Xiao leaving, Zhao Feng looked at the Wang Zhao in his hand with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations, General."
The surrounding generals and guards all bowed to Zhao Feng with excited expressions.
"The Kingdom of Wei has not yet been destroyed, and the generals still need to work hard."
"Send my order to the general and move on to the general camp."
One after another, bad news broke in the Wei Dynasty court.
Zhao Feng was also completely immersed in it.
"More than twenty cities in the north have been captured by the Qin army. Our army cannot resist the Qin army's attack..."
"Receive the promotion reward." Zhao Feng communicated on the panel.
"The cavalry of the Qin Army has cut off all the grain roads transporting grain to the northern city of Wei Dynasty. Now our grain and grass cannot be transported to the northern city at all."
Immediately gave the order.
"Open the second-level treasure chest."
"Report."
Zhao Feng is looking forward to it.
time.
It’s not surprising that this treasure chest contains martial arts techniques, and it’s not surprising that it also contains immortal cultivation techniques.
Above the court.
An incomparably mysterious Kung Fu technique poured into Zhao Feng's consciousness.
…
Zhao Feng unhurriedly opened the imperial edict, and what he saw was the reward. However, Zhao Feng naturally didn't care about these fine gold and silver rewards. What he valued most was those who had the luck of the country. The title will be added, the rank will be promoted, and the treasure chest will be rewarded.
King Wei's face had turned pale, and the faces of the courtiers below were also extremely ugly.
It is far more mysterious than the Xuan-level technique Dragon Elephant Technique that I obtained at the beginning, and it even reveals a kind of mystery of cultivation in it.
"What can we do?"
All the generals responded in unison.
"Urgent report from Liyang City."
"The last general takes orders."
"This is strange." Zhao Feng was a little confused.
"Report."
Zhao Feng directly extracted this technique.
In the past, when I was promoted to general, it was already a second-level treasure chest. Now that my title has reached level 15, it is naturally a second-level treasure chest.
"Within two months, we will arrive at Daliang, the capital of Wei." Zhao Feng ordered in a majestic voice.
time flies.
"Our army used cavalry to attack the Qin Army's grain road to no avail. The Qin Army's grain road was protected by cavalry and was heavily guarded. Moreover, the changes in the grain road were impossible to control."
Without much hesitation.
Daliang, the capital of Wei!
Looking at the second-level treasure chest he got, Zhao Feng had a look of expectation on his face: "I hope something good can be found."
"Not only that, a lot of our army's grain and grass were intercepted by the Qin army, and the soldiers transporting the grain and grass suffered heavy losses."
"The northern defense line is completely lost."
"Open."
"Congratulations to the host for being promoted to [Shao Shang Zao], and you will be rewarded with a second-level treasure chest." A prompt appeared on the panel.
Seeing Zhao closed his eyes and resting, no one dared to disturb him, and the chariot continued to penetrate deeper into the Wei Kingdom.
He just sat on the chariot and was protected by personal guards.
"Martial Arts Technique? Is it also prefixed by luck?"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the heaven-level high-grade luck martial arts technique [Martial Arts Emperor Dragon Code]." A prompt appeared on the panel.
This Qi Luck Skill was strange to Zhao Feng. This was the first time he encountered it.
And at this moment.
"With the Qin army's cavalry and infantry, they may be able to attack our capital within a few months."
"well."
"We, the Wei Dynasty, really can't resist Qin."
…
A sound of lamentation appeared in the court hall.
"alright."
Wei Wuji's old voice sounded in the hall.
I saw him standing on the stairs very tired, and his face was very pale. It was obvious that he had not rested for many days in the face of Qin's attack.
His voice was heard.
All the eyes of the Wei court officials fell on Wei Wuji.
"What's going on in Chu State?" Wei Wuji said slowly.
"Return to your Majesty."
"After returning home, the Chu envoy made it clear that Lord Chun Shen intended to launch an attack on Qin, and that day in the Qin court, the Chu envoy had already offended the King of Qin."
"Chu will definitely attack Qin." Wei Chen, who was on an envoy to Qin that day, immediately stood up.
"Chu State, this is the only variable that our Wei Dynasty can use to survive."
"As long as the Chu State mobilizes troops, the Yan State may not send troops because its national strength has not recovered, but the Qi State may."
"Only in this way, I, the Wei Dynasty, can survive as a country." Wei Wuji said with certainty.
This sentence also made the ministers in the court breathe a little relieved.
"uncle."
"Now that the northern defense line has been broken, the Wu'an camp of the Qin army cannot stop it. How should we deal with it?" King Wei looked at Wei Wuji and asked.
"The 150,000 troops in the north were all lost. This is the fault of my ministers. Since the strategy of burning Yanggao City failed, it is no longer possible to implement this strategy against Qin's Hangu camp. In addition to delaying the Qin army's advance as much as possible, we Wei can only wait for help from other countries."
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty."
"I have mobilized 300,000 troops to garrison Daliang. In addition, there are 100,000 courtiers and private soldiers of nobles who are concerned about the survival of the Wei Dynasty."
"Even if the Qin army really attacks Daliang City, they can't even think of breaking through Daliang City in a short time."
"The capital of our great Wei Dynasty is a dangerous place, more stable than Handan of Zhao State. Now the old minister has explained that the city gate has been sealed with stones and cannot be opened without manpower. The city defenses are repaired, and the food and grass in the city are enough for the army and Civilian needs for a long time.”
"In this year, it is enough for me, the Wei Dynasty, to wait for changes in other countries."
Now that it was the most critical moment, Wei Wuji naturally revealed his plan.
This may not be possible.
certainly.
Wei Wuji is not afraid of leaking these, because he has already done it.
The entire defense of Daliang City took two years to build, not overnight.
"I believe in my uncle." King Wei nodded immediately.
"Your Majesty."
"Now that we have decided to defend the capital, do we need to bring back the army guarding Heluo City?"
"General Pang Wu still has more than 200,000 troops under his command."
A minister suggested.
Wei Wuji glanced at it and said in a deep voice: "Qin has dispatched two large battalions, with a total strength of not less than 800,000. Once the defense of Heluo City is abandoned and the 200,000 troops are withdrawn, then we, the Wei Dynasty, will face It’s not just the newly built Qin Wu’an camp, but the Hangu camp that was born after the Qin Dynasty’s reform.”
"Even if I am well prepared, it is impossible for Daliang City to stop the attack of an 800,000-strong army."
"The defense of Heluo City must not be withdrawn."
The current situation on the battlefield, even if there is a defeat, is not a complete defeat. If the army guarding Heluo is really withdrawn as the minister said, it will really be a complete defeat.
"I understand."
Wei Chen, who had just suggested it, immediately retreated.
"Although Qi and Yan are waiting and watching, our attitude of asking for help from Wei cannot be cut off."
"Pass this king's order."
"Send additional envoys to Qi and Yan to ask them to send troops for rescue." Wei Wuji said solemnly.
"Your Majesty, take your orders."
The minister in charge of the envoy responded immediately.
Things are settled here.
Wei Wuji didn't have anything more to say. The rest of the war, apart from holding on to deal with Qin's attack, was just waiting for the Chu State to mobilize its troops. All Wei Wuji could do was to hold on and try his best to delay the destruction of the country until the Chu State mobilized its troops.
"Report!"
"Urgent report from Chu State."
"Your Majesty, please read it yourself."
An emergency soldier ran quickly towards the main hall.
I heard it was an urgent report from the State of Chu.
The eyes of all the ministers in the Wei Dynasty's court were bright.
"Very good."
"It must be the State of Chu that has launched troops against the State of Qin."
"The Chu State is marching very fast this time. As long as we, the Wei Dynasty, hold on, we will be able to retreat from Qin."
"The state of Chu is powerful and has nearly a million troops. It has no fear of Qin."
"Very good…"
The Wei ministers in the court cheered.
now.
Even Wei Wuji was like this, with a look of excitement on his face.
"Hurry, bring it up quickly." Wei Wuji waved.
The emergency report soldier quickly ran to the bottom of the stairs and presented the emergency report up with both hands.
Looking at this urgent report, it was obvious that it had not been opened and was sent directly to the capital of Wei after it was drafted.
After receiving the urgent report, Wei Wuji immediately opened the seal and took a look.
But look at this.
The old man's face, which was originally filled with ecstasy, instantly turned pale, and his feet trembled as he stood on the steps, as if he couldn't bear it.
"Your Majesty."
The minister not far away immediately rushed up and helped Wei Wuji.
But everyone's mood became tense again.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
King Wei also asked uneasily.
Wei Wuji turned pale and said in a trembling voice, "Jun Chun Shen is dead. He was killed by his retainer Li Yuan."
"King Han of Chu, his concubines, and heirs were all killed by Li Yuan."
"Chu State, things have changed."
Heard this household.
It exploded like thunder across the entire Wei court. now.
All Wei ministers knew one fact.
The state of Chu is now in chaos, and it is inevitable that it will be impossible to send troops to attack Qin.
It will take at least a year and a half to completely calm down the civil strife in Chu State.
The first is power. The rights that originally belonged to Huang Xie will gradually be controlled by Li Yuan. Those who were originally loyal to Huang Xie will be bloodbathed. Moreover, the kings of Chu State are dead, and Li Yuan must support a new king.
With all these things happening, how could we still send troops?
"uncle."
"What should I do?"
"The Kingdom of Chu is now in chaos, can Wei still survive?" King Wei said with a trembling tone.
Wei Wuji's face was full of struggle, and his tone was trembling: "Qin, what a good trick."
From his perspective, he could naturally see that the sudden change of dynasty in Chu State must be the result of Qin State. If not, how could it happen so suddenly, and how could it happen that Chu State was about to launch troops against Qin State? on the eve of.
"Your Majesty, are you willing to surrender to Qin?" Wei Wuji turned his head and looked at King Wei.
This sentence directly penetrated into the heart of King Wei.
But it only lasts a moment.
The King of Wei stood up directly and said loudly: "We have been in the Wei Dynasty for hundreds of years, and I am the orthodox royal family."
"I will not surrender until I die!"
This sound fell.
Wei Wuji also had a look of relief on his face.
"This is my king of Wei."
"Old minister, I am proud of the king."
"Old minister, I will live and die with the Wei Dynasty." Wei Wuji bowed to the King of Wei.
See this scene.
Many ministers loyal to the Wei State in the court also bowed: "I swear to the death to live and die with the Wei Dynasty."
"good."
"My lords."
"I will lead all of you to face Qin together. Qin wants to destroy Wei, and I want to cause great harm to Qin." Wei Wuji's eyes flashed with coldness.
…
Xianyang!
Chaoyi Hall!
"Your Majesty."
"There is good news from Chu State."
"Huang Xie was killed by his disciple Li Yuan. Li Yuan killed King Chu Han and his entire family on the pretext that King Chu was Huang Xie's evil descendant. Now the Chu country is in chaos."
Wang Wan said excitedly.
After hearing the news, the entire court was overjoyed.
"Hahaha."
"Chu State, the envoy threatened to launch troops against our country Qin that day, but now Chu State is in chaos."
"That old guy Huang Xie has always been domineering. I didn't expect that he would die at the hands of his own disciples. He really deserved it."
"With the Chu Kingdom in chaos, who among all the countries in the world dares to be our enemy, Great Qin?"
"Wei has no more foreign aid."
…
A burst of joyful shouts suddenly erupted in the court hall.
But Ying Zheng, who is sitting on the throne, is very calm.
Obviously.
He had already received news about this matter.
Moreover, Hei Bingtai relied on his edict to implement Huang Xie's affairs.
Ying Zheng raised his hand.
The court fell silent instantly.
"The Kingdom of Chu is in chaos and will definitely not be able to attack our country Qin in a short period of time."
"There is no need to worry too much about Chu State."
"The most important thing for our Qin Dynasty at the moment is Wei." Ying Zheng said slowly.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," the ministers shouted in unison.
"Your Majesty."
"Before the meeting, I received the news."
"General Huan Yi has led his army to attack Heluo City." Huan Yi stood up and announced.
"Heluo City is destroyed."
"The two lines of defense that Wei Wuji worked so hard to build have all collapsed."
"The Kingdom of Wei must perish." Wang Wan said loudly.
"good."
"Now it is impossible for the Wei State to compete with our Great Qin."
"In half a year, Wei will be destroyed.
"Hangu Camp is indeed the elite camp of our Great Qin. It took less than half a month to break through Heluo City where more than 200,000 troops were stationed."
The ministers in the court also agreed one after another.
"Yes." Ying Zheng nodded, his expression calm.
Although Hangu Camp has achieved results, it lags far behind Wu'an Camp.
No matter how much Wang Wan and the others praised him at this moment, Ying Zheng was not moved.
"The Kingdom of Chu is in chaos, and the Kingdom of Wei has no foreign aid. Let General Huan Yi fight steadily and not rush forward greedily." Ying Zheng said slowly.
Wei Liao immediately accepted the order: "I accept the imperial edict."
Seeing that Ying Zheng did not award a reward.
A flash of disappointment flashed in Wang Wan's eyes.
The meeting dispersed.
Zhangtai Palace.
"Your Majesty."
"There are still a large number of dark warriors in the Chu Kingdom at Black Ice Platform."
"Taking advantage of the current civil strife in Chu, I, Black Bingtai, may be able to obtain the Chu State's military deployment map and distribution map of grain, grass and supplies." Dun Ruo said respectfully.
"You did a good job on this matter."
"As soon as Huang Xie dies, Chu will be in chaos."
"It saves me, Da Qin, another battlefield." Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction.
Although Da Qin has the national strength to respond to Chu's attack and has made arrangements, if Huang Xie is not dead and he can mobilize the full strength of Chu to attack, then Da Qin will be somewhat passive.
so.
Once Huang Xie dies, everything will be fine.
"Your Majesty."
"For Chu State, this is also a weakening of national power."
"Even if Li Yuan takes power in the future, the national strength of Chu State will never be restored to the time of Huang Xie."
"This can kill two birds with one stone." Dunruo said.
"The Chu Kingdom is in trouble, and Black Ice Platform's focus is still on the Wei battlefield."
"For the generals in charge of the army in Wei and the ministers in charge of food, grass and baggage, kill them if you can."
"As long as it can make the Wei Kingdom more chaotic, I will do whatever it takes." Ying Zheng said coldly.
"I accept the edict."
He bowed weakly and then retreated.
At this time!
"Your Majesty."
"Doctor Xia is here."
Zhao Gao walked into the main hall slowly and respectfully reported.
"You should retreat first. Without Gu's edict, no one is allowed to come in, and no one is allowed to obstruct Dr. Xia." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.
"My slave, take your orders." Zhao Gao bowed and retreated.
It didn't take long.
Xia Wuji's figure appeared in the hall.
"Old minister, I see you, Your Majesty."
After entering the spot, Xia Wuji bowed.
Zhao Gao retreated and quickly closed the palace door.
"father in law."
"You really went a long way to avoid me."
Seeing Xia Wuji, Ying Zheng said helplessly.
Upon hearing this.
Xia Wuji was shocked, and then immediately explained: "Your Majesty, I did not avoid you on purpose, but to relax. I have been in Xianyang for a long time and am too tired. For more than half a year, I have been traveling for medical treatment. Not bad."
Looking at his father-in-law still pretending.
Ying Zheng also had a strange look on his face: "Father-in-law, do you really think I'm stupid?"
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable." Xia Wuji waved his hands repeatedly, and then said with a smile: "If you say that Your Majesty is stupid, then there will be no smart people in the world."
But Ying Zheng said the next sentence.
"I have already met Afang." Ying Zheng said with a smile on his face.
As soon as these words fell.
The expression on Xia Wuqie's old face suddenly changed, strange, surprised, and also a kind of joy.
Now.
Xia Wuqi also understood that Ying Zheng had really seen him and saw through his intentions.
"Really?" Xia Wuji asked with a smile.
"Really." Ying Zheng also smiled and nodded.
The two people's eyes met with an unspeakable joy.
"It's good to see you, it's good to see you."
"Originally, I hoped from the bottom of my heart that you could see her."
"It's just that I'm afraid that Dong'er will run away again, so I can only follow her wishes and not see you, because I know that as long as I see you, you will see it sooner or later."
At this moment, Xia Wuqie's voice revealed a kind of joy from the bottom of his heart.
"Real truth."
"Father-in-law, if you don't come back, I will become even more suspicious."
"Because I know my father-in-law."
"In all these years in Xianyang, I have never seen you get so close to anyone, except for Zhao Feng."
"And after going to Zhao Feng's hometown, he didn't go back to Xianyang. This is even more strange."
"So I asked Hei Bingtai to investigate Zhao Feng's family thoroughly, and I actually found out." Ying Zheng said with a smile on his face.
