The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Chapter 136

Wei Lang said to his ministers: "Wei State has fertile land and is a key point connecting Qi, Zhao and Song. If we occupy Wei State, the capital of Song State will be exposed to our military force."

Wei Lang pointed to the map above, and said like an unfathomable strategist who was planning and winning a battle thousands of miles away: "The capital of Wei State is in Puyang. Gongsun Cuo led 50,000 troops to attack from Pingyang, aiming directly at Puyang. Xiang Ci led 40,000 troops to attack Xiangqiu, an important town of Wei State, from Suanzao. Baning led 30,000 troops to assist Gongsun Cuo in attacking Puyang on the flank. What do you think?"

Everyone looked at each other and dared not answer. Wei Lang saw that no one answered and smiled: "If that's the case, then proceed according to my strategy. This battle must rely on the destruction of Wei State. I will send 120,000 troops, and I will not Xin couldn't destroy a small Wei State. After the capital of Wei State was captured, Gongsun Zuo immediately led his troops south to attack Song State's Taodi. In this way, the richest place in the world would belong to Wei State!" Pang Juan stood up and persuaded: "My king, destroying Wei State has already violated the taboo of all countries in the world. If we attack Taodi again, I am afraid that many countries will attack Wei! Wei State is an important place, and Taodi is the richest place in the world. Please think about it, will all countries in the world allow us to annex these two places!" Wei Lang didn't care about Pang Juan's words and smiled: "General Pang, don't worry. My Wei State has 400,000 soldiers. Why fear all countries in the world?" Pang Juan continued to persuade: "My king, but attacking Song State is not in line with morality. Song State was an ally with us a few years ago. If we attack Song for no reason, we will probably push Song to Qi's side, and will also make Han and Zhao feel disappointed!

Wei Ling sneered: "Morality, who in the world talks about morality now? Can morality make a country strong? There is only one morality in the world, that is, if you are stronger than him, you can destroy him, and whoever refuses to obey will be destroyed! Now Wei and Song are weak countries, and my Wei is a strong country. If you want to destroy them, you can destroy them. If they refuse to obey! If they refuse to obey, they can also take out 400,000 iron army! If they can't take it out, they will be fish on the chopping board, and can only become the lamb of my Wei country!"

At this time, Wu Tong said again: "Your Majesty, if you want to attack Song, it is better to occupy Taodi in exchange for Song's Waihuang and Ningling. The two places have a total of 17 cities and the land is larger than Taodi A lot, and it is close to Suiyang, the capital of Song. In this way, when Wei wants to destroy Song in the future, it can directly send troops from Waihuang and Ningling to destroy Song. Getting Taodi may cause the fear of all countries in the world, and getting this place will not only not make all countries in the world afraid, but also prepare for the future destruction of Song! "

After listening, Wei Ying thought about it and asked again: "But Taodi is the richest place in the world, I am a little reluctant to give it up."

Wu Tong said again: "When we destroy Song in the future, this escape land is not ours, but it is temporarily placed in Song to help us keep it."

Wei Ying nodded and said: "Okay, just follow Sima's words, Huizi, I'll trouble you with the logistics support of the army."

Hui Shi bowed and said: "Yes."

Chu Court

King Xiong Liangfu of Chu looked at the ministers below and said: "Everyone, the army of the Grand Marshal has been transferred to the border of Yue State. It is time to destroy Yue State in one battle. Ling Yin, you must be responsible for the food and grass of the army. I must destroy this jumping around Yue State this year!"

Prime Minister Zhao Xixu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there is a situation in Wei State. According to the report from the spies, Wei State seems to be attacking a country this year, and it is found that most of these troops are gathered near the border of Wei State. I estimate that Wei State may have to destroy Wei State in one battle this year. Wei State is a key place connecting Zhao State, Qi State and Song State. If this place is occupied, then the hegemony of the Central Plains will be completely in the hands of Wei State!"

Xiong Liangfu asked hurriedly: "Wei State We want to destroy Wei, but do you know how many troops they have lost? "

Zhao Xixu replied: "According to the spies, there should be more than 100,000 people. Your Majesty, should we stop attacking Yue and go north to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains? After all, once Wei annexed Wei, the entire Central Plains would belong to Wei. I am afraid that it will be even more difficult for Chu to go north to compete for hegemony in the Central Plains in the future!"

Xiong Liangfu thought for a while and said: "Ling Yin, you should send more spies to Wei to continue to investigate the news and see if the news is true. If it is true, immediately order the Grand Marshal to return to the capital and put the attack on Yue on hold for the time being."

"Yes."

………

In the border town of Wei, the border town garrison was patrolling the city defense as usual. Suddenly, he saw a flag covering the sun not far away, and was horrified. 's voice shouted: "Enemy! It's the enemy! Quick, report to the king that Wei has sent troops to invade our country!"

Wei Guo Chaotang

After listening to the soldiers' report, Duke Wei said in horror: "Everyone, what should we do if Wei attacks our country?"

The ministers below looked at each other and no one answered. Duke Wei was so anxious that he said, "As long as he survives this crisis, I am willing to make him the king!"

But still no one stood up. Duke Wei looked at this group of idiots who usually said all kinds of big words. At the critical moment, they couldn't say a word and cursed: "A bunch of idiots! Useless!"

Chu Guo Chaotang

After reading the secret report from the spy, King Xiong Liangfu of Chu said: "Everyone, it is true that Wei attacked Wei, and it was a military attack. Divided into three routes, the total number of troops is as high as 120,000. What should our Chu do? "

The Ling Yin Zhao Xixu below stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, I think we should immediately mobilize the army to support Wei and prevent Wei from destroying Wei. Once Wei firmly grasps the hegemony of the Central Plains, then it will probably be our Chu's turn next!"

As soon as the voice fell, the Grand Marshal Jingshe stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, you can't do that. Wei is only a minor concern, while Yue is a major concern for our Chu. Yue can directly threaten the capital of our Chu, while Wei is far away from threatening the capital of our Chu. Even if our Chu wants to dominate the Central Plains, it must remove the nail behind it. Therefore, I think it is better to continue to attack Yue."

XiongLiangfu did not listen to the two but asked: "Doctor Qu, what do you think?"

Qu Yong stood up and replied: "I think we should help Wei. After all, Chu wants to dominate the Central Plains. Once Wei annexes Wei, Wei's control over the Central Plains will be firmly grasped, and it will be difficult to dominate at that time!"

Xiong Liangfu looked at Jingxiu again and asked: "Jingxiu, what do you think?"

Jingxiu stood up and replied: "I think what Ling Yin said is very appropriate. We should help Weiguo!"

Xiong Liangfu was in a dilemma. Just when he didn't know how to decide, Zhao Xixu stood up and said, "If your Majesty can't make a decision, as far as I know, there is a hermit in the north of Chu State named Heguanzi. This person has great strategy and talent, but he is never willing to serve as an official. Why don't we ask him for his advice?"

Xiong Liangfu thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's follow Ling Yin's advice."
