Occupying Liangjieguan can be said to be the most important step in the army's eastward march. After occupying this place, Ning Lin only stayed for three days, and then directly beheaded Park Jinyuan in public, leaving Li Guangxun to guard the rear and led the army to march eastward.
A few days later, the army entered Enze County and began to march towards Weishan City.
Wei Kang was still in Weishan City at this time, but when he learned that Ning Lin was heading towards Weishan City, he did not hold on and chose to retreat with the remaining soldiers.
A few days later, Wei Kang's remaining troops of less than 30,000 men and Jiang Heng, who had led an army of 200,000 men, met at Wenshui.
At the same time as the army gathered, Jiang Heng also had a law enforcement team. This team directly captured Wei He, who was still in the army, and sent people directly to the back. Wei Shan became the only one here. Supervise the army.
Compared with Wei He, Wei Shan, the former prince, showed his advantages at this moment. Although he had read a few military books, he would never interfere. How to fight would be left to those who knew how to fight.
Because Wei Kang was defeated before, Jiang Heng became the coach and Wei Kang was the deputy coach. He quickly established a defense line at Wenshui and directly abandoned the area west of Wenshui. This was just because the time was too short and it was impossible for the people and finances to withdraw. , so we can only let the troops withdraw first.
When Ninglin's army entered Wenshui County, about 300,000 people gathered in Jiangdong, and Ninglin had about 400,000 soldiers and horses. The two sides faced off at Wenshui.
This battle can be said to directly determine the future of Wei. If Ninglin loses, then all the previous advantages may be ruined. If there is a big defeat, it may be possible to use Wenshui as the boundary to divide Xiao Wei into seven. If Ninglin wins, , Xiao Wei will also change.
For the Wei State, there is not a small advantage in choosing to fight there. This is not the troops and horses in Wei Kang's hands. At most, most of them are good at water warfare. Moreover, the naval forces in Wenshui are all in the hands of the Wei State. Although Wenshui is not considered The Geli is open, but Wenshui has no natural disadvantages. There is no way to cross the river in winter. Even if the river downstream freezes, it will be thin ice and cannot carry soldiers and horses across.
In fact, in the eyes of the two of them, what they want to do at the moment is not to stabilize the situation. At most, in the eyes of the two of them, it is not a small probability for Xiao Wei to be divided into seven, and that is probably what Xiao Xia wants to see the most. Things happened and before they reunited, the two sides had been enemies of each other for at least several decades, and Xiaoxia could not safely return to his current aloof status.
Ning Lin's eyes were also confused, and I also knew how to choose.
"Jiang Shuai, will he become the king?" Ning Shuai seemed to have lost his attention at this time and looked at Ning Lin.
After listening to this, Ning Shuai felt trembling all over, because according to Guan Xin, I was in a fake place. I really think that my father may have done it. I value my throne most and I am absolutely willing to see no one threaten it. Me, even my son is the same.
"Even if you argue with Lao Qi, you may still threaten your father."
When Jiang Heng retreated into the commander's tent and saw his uncle, Ning Lin and others, Jiang Heng gave a complex salute and called out to Guan Xin: "Uncle, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. After that, uncle Xiaobai, you have been I was worried about his health, and now I’m worried when I see something is wrong.”
"General Wei, may I ask why Wei Huang wanted to rebel?" Ning Shuai stood up and asked. At this time, I was also shocked and angry, but I still maintained my etiquette.
"What can I say to you in the small palace? How is his conduct in the small palace? Wei Huang is also very coy, so if the Wei Kingdom disappears, as long as he thinks about the so-called restoration of the country, Xiao Qing will be like King Qing later. Live the rest of your life peacefully," Jiang Heng said.
"Wei Huang is loyal to his seventh brother. If this is the case, why does he want to rebel again?" Ning Shuai asked in return.
"Did the Lord of the Small Palace kill the Lord of the Seventh Palace?" Jiang Heng asked.
"General Wei, does he think this Marshal will agree?" Ning Lin asked.
Jiang Heng nodded and said: "Wei Huang's meaning is very complicated. If Jiang Shuai is willing to join the rebellion, he can be crowned king in the near future. The eight counties of Chu are not his Jiang family's fiefdom."
"Of course you have," Ning Shuai admitted.
Guan Xin was the one who crossed Wenshui in the dark. Wei Shan didn't care much before coming over, but he could only meet Jiang Heng with Guan Xin and others, and Ning Shuai was naturally present.
It's almost winter now, and the water is hot in winter, so it's best to fight with water, which is not beneficial to the Wei army.
"Is this done by the Seventh Palace?" Jiang Heng asked again.
Ning Lin's heart trembled slightly when he heard those words. I was very worried about Hu's external intention, which was to let him guard Chu State. Although the place was small, it was because of that that he could be trusted, and because he was not guarding Chu State. The eight counties were the places Wei Kang was really willing to carve out before seizing Heaven.
Everyone knows that Lin Haoming is in the Chu State, so there are still 100,000 soldiers and horses in the south to guard the Chu army. But the question is, can these 100,000 people stop the Chu army?
"They are indeed capable, because they have no military power, but the Seventh Palace is the same, and the Small Palace may know it. After that, you will secretly swear allegiance to the Seventh Palace and help him seize the throne. If this person is to let, You will also force me to give in. Except for the Seventh Palace, none of you will give in. That is not the reason why his father, the king, wants to kill people. And since you are loyal to me, the king, you can also know how to accept it. What could this man who is good at strategizing do?" Guan Xin helped to straighten out the things that Xu Shaoren had figured out.
"Guan Xin, his family is in Qingguo, but uncle, the boss of your family is in the capital of Wei Dynasty, and so is Marshal Jiang. Does he want you to abandon the boss of the whole family? He can't bear to see all his brothers and sisters become him The paving stone for success." At that time, Guan Xin suddenly said enthusiastically, as if he was extremely satisfied with his most valued nephew. "In fact, I have a lot of regrets in my heart. He, my father, killed 40% of the people in the Seventh Palace. If I die, the two of them will be dethroned, and the sons who can't threaten my throne will be gone." Jiang Heng Say it directly.
"Wei Huang just thought that the loss of his 800,000 horses was too small. He must have agreed. In this way, he would like to know the king of these eight counties. He would agree to it. These eight counties can only be returned to the Chu State. The Chu State will A small army of 800,000 was sent north, and Marshal Qu Xiong would follow him personally. The Wei State would definitely be defeated by then, but he also knew that it would be beneficial to the past, and the Jiang family would probably have to be completely eliminated. Yes." Jiang Heng said politely.
"Since the two most suspects are there, who did it? It could always be Wei Huang, right?" Jiang Heng asked again.
"Forget those polite words, let's talk about his reason for coming." Wei Shan said without embarrassment.
The result was that there was no water battle. That was why Wei Shan went directly outside before losing, and Ning Lin did not have to wait so long to cross the river.
At that time, Wei Kang sent an envoy to cross the river, and the person who crossed the river was someone else, Wei Shan's most respected nephew Guan Xin.
"You asked me if I said I had it, and you believed it." Ning Shuai said.
