When he heard that Yan and Wu were planning to attack Qin by the three Jin coalition forces, Wei Ran let go of his heavy heart and said bitterly: "How many times have you been deceived by cunning thieves!"
Zhang Lu asked: "What's the plan for the next update?"
Zheng Anping replied: "The prime minister's army, Cao Jiji, is not far away from Tao, and he wants to invade Tao with his army. However, there are a few boats. If you can borrow hundreds of boats from the guards, you can use them."
Zhang Lu said: "If the road returns to Nanyang, what's the problem?"
Zheng Anping replied: "The road returns to Nanyang and ends in Wei. Although Wei is not Zhao, it will not help Qin. If Ning Xinzhong goes south on the road, the army will move sideways, fearing that it will be attacked. It will be inconvenient!" From Ning Xinzhong to Chen Si had never traveled the Nanyang road, so he had no map. But this road is the main road leading to Handan. This is the road where envoys are sent and asked to be hired. The general situation of this road is still clear to everyone.
Wei Ran and Zhang Lu asked a few more detailed questions, and asked people to take Zheng and Chen to the post to rest, and asked Chen Si to leave the album. Wei and Zhang returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the four monarchs were waiting in the Prime Minister's Mansion. They discuss matters. Since Wei Ran no longer sits in Wangyi Palace, the Prime Minister's Mansion has become the highest place for discussing government affairs. The strategy set here is submitted by Wei Ran to the King of Qin for approval, and becomes the King of Qin's decree, which is implemented by various lawsuits.
Wei Ran didn't have many family members. The front courtyard and the prime minister's house were guarded by swordsmen and managed by several retainers. The back house was only taken care of by his wife and a few concubines. However, the retainers gave birth to several children, and only a few were unborn. Those who have grown up will be treated as boys in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and will serve in front and back; those who have reached adulthood will not be accepted, and the women will be married and the men will be naturalized. Wei Ran has been commanding the Qin army for a long time. Although the four thousand personal camp is full, Wei Ran never lets them deal with family affairs. Wei Ran was not good at women, and had difficulty raising children. He did not have a man or a woman. When he got old, he was unwilling to sleep with his wives and concubines. Moreover, he did not accept any young women anymore. In the back house, only the elderly and children were included.
The four princes often come and go in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and their family members and swordsmen are all familiar with them. When they see them coming, they let them into the Nuan Pavilion one by one. They only bring in a jar of sake, which they can help themselves. Their family members do not come to wait on them. You are used to it too. Lord Jingyang and Lord Gaoling arrived first, chatting boringly, both squatting in the yard watching ants. Bai Qi came next. When he saw the two watching ants fighting, he insisted on dragging them into a fight. The two repeatedly refused, and each held a bamboo branch and wanted to fight. Huayang Jun came and interrupted them with a loud shout. Huayang Jun scolded Bai Qi and said: "There are many swordsmen in the academy, but you don't want to fight. You fight alone with two high-ranking beams! How can you save yourself?"
Bai Qi said: "Avoiding the real and attacking the weak is the way of a military strategist."
Lord Huayang said: "A cunning person is sophistry!"
Bai Qi said: "The king has not arrived yet, what should I do?"
Lord Huayang said: "Let's go into the room and discuss it!"
The four of them walked into the Nuan Pavilion. Gao Lingjun brought water to the three of them, scooped one for himself, and placed it in front of the table.
Huayang Jun said: "Each of you expresses his ambition."
Lord Gaoling first said: "There are rumors that the three Jins will unite, but I think it is wrong. Since the rear army has escaped, even though it has rebelled, it can't do anything."
Huayang Jun said: "The Wei army is in a very difficult situation and cannot be defeated."
Lord Gaoling said: "The Korean army has not returned home yet, and we don't know why."
Bai Qi said: "I'm afraid it will be broken by Zhao!"
Lord Huayang said: "Why did Lord Wu An say this?"
Bai Qi said: "Zhao and Zhong Geng have been in a stalemate for nearly a month. They are incompetent, so they move their troops to fight in order to avoid the real situation and attack the weak ears! Even though there are two countries, Han and Wei, how can they be as good as their father-in-law!"
Jun Jingyang scolded: "Jun Huayang insults me, and you also humiliate me! What's the truth!"
Lord Huayang did not accept Lord Jingyang's words, and only asked Bai Qi: "But how far will it go, what can I do?"
Bai Qi said: "Since he has left Handan, he should return to the army. Where should he take the route? Isn't it appropriate?"
Huayang Jun asked: "Why don't you return, where will you live?"
Bai Qi said: "I'm trapped by something... I don't know... or maybe Lian Po is leading the army to pursue him?"
Lord Jingyang said: "Jiyi is not the place to use troops. If you attack the Zhao army, why not retreat three houses and attack them in the wild? Lian Po will not escape. I think that the three Jins are conspiring together, so we must guard against it. It will be difficult for Wei, so we are trapped in Jiyi." also."
Lord Gaoling said: "If you look at the actions of the two countries, the three Jins are not in harmony; if you look at the more trapped states in the middle, the three Jins are in union. The most confusing ones are Wei and Han."
Bai Qi asked Lord Huayang: "What is the situation between Wei and Han? Is it right or wrong to attack Anyi together?"
Huayang Jundao: "I heard rumors that the Wei-Korean coalition forces were about to invade Anyi, so I ordered Anyi to investigate everywhere. I heard that there was an army raiding Tangcheng, and Jiangcheng sent a warning. I found out that it was the Wei army. The sentinel said that the Wei army was in dire straits and could not form a line. Even though they were in Tang Dynasty, they could not do anything."
Bai Qi said: "Wei and Han will definitely be defeated by Zhao, and these remnant soldiers are like this. They are running around Anyi, looking for a way back to Wei Er!"
Lord Gaoling said: "Why doesn't Lord Wu'an know geography? From Lan to Wei, he went to Shangdang, passing through Nanyang, crossing the river and heading south. How can he go to Anyi so far?"
Bai Qi said: "Since the Zhao army defeated the Han and Wei armies, they must attack the main road and intercept it so that they cannot return. Therefore, they cannot return unless they go around Anyi."
Lord Jingyang said: "From Yanyu to Anyi, the mountains are high and the rivers are dangerous. It is not an easy road. After being defeated, can you assemble your army thousands of miles and enter Anyi?"
Bai Qi said: "This general must be a good general! Can I hear it?"
Huayang Jun said: "I heard that the general, the Young Master, is to blame."
Bai Qi was a little frustrated and said: "I haven't heard of this! Mang Mao went to Wei and regained the master Jiu. Rather than losing a deer, he got a tiger? Wei gained a lot!"
Huayang Jun said: "I have never heard of this person, how could he be like this?"
Bai Qi said: "A famous general has not experienced hundreds of battles. How can he not be heard of before?"
Huayang Jun said: "Zhao Zhilianpo, how can he go through hundreds of battles when he becomes a high minister?" Bai Qi was speechless.
Just as they were talking, they heard the rumble of cars, and the four of them said in unison: "It's time!" They stood up and went out to greet them. Wei Ran and Zhang Lu got out of the car and came towards the four of them. Lord Huayang said: "The two sons look happy, and the people of Qin will be fine."
Wei Ran let everyone into Nuan Pavilion and sat down together. Lord Gaoling scooped out a cup of water for Wei Ran and Zhang Lu each. Wei Ran took out the album from his backpack and briefly recounted the situation that Chen Si introduced to him, especially the battles at Handan Wu'an and Handan City. Wei Ran probably fully understood Chen Si's description and spoke more vividly. . After Wei Ran finished speaking, he asked Zhang Lu to add some details, then stopped and looked at everyone.
Bai Qi asked indifferently: "Who made this album?"
Wei Ran said: "Ke Qing's disciple is Chen Si."
Bai Qi asked: "Who is your title now?"
Zhang Lu said: "The title will not change!"
Bai Qi said: "If you have this skill, you should be promoted to the third level!"
Zhang Lu said: "If there is no attack, why advance?"
Bai Qi said: "With this picture, Handan is not enough!"
Wei Ran said: "Do you recommend Mr. Wu'an?"
Bai Qi said: "I'm afraid it won't be inconvenient for you!"
Zhang Lu said: "Chen Si is not a subordinate of the minister. He is actually a guest of the Zheng family in Anping. I'm afraid that Chen Si, the noble official of the Zheng family, will not be able to join him!" Bai Qi then stopped talking.
Wei Ran said: "Zhong Geng thought that we are not far from Tao. If we can find it convenient, we can ask the guards to help us. We have hundreds of boats and we can cross the river to Tao."
After Wei Ran said this, everyone was silent for a moment. Lord Jingyang said: "Formerly, all the 30,000 people led by Keqing Zao have entered Tao. The 20,000 people under Zhonggeng have joined Tao again, and Tao has gained 50,000 people." That's it! Kuang Zhonggeng and the five officials are all the country's Qiancheng. They must be returned to the country and can be used for their own purposes!"
Bai Qi asked: "Is it inconvenient to return from Nanyang?"
Wei Ran said: "There are two inconveniences: there are Zhao people chasing after you outside, and Wei people secretly resisting inside. What do you mean? Zhao general Lian Po sent troops from Handan, and the pursuit continued. He was only one day's journey from Zhonggen. Zhong Geng. As for Ning Xinzhong, which was originally a Wei city, it might be possible to use it to resist Zhao, but Lian Po did not dare to cross the Wei border and attack Qin. However, Ning Xinzhong defended the Qin army outside the city. Zhong Geng thought that if his permission was not obtained, the city would be surrounded. When it passes by, not only the Zhao army will arrive, but the Wei army may also attack from the side. Therefore, we have several towns hundreds of miles away to guard and wait for reinforcements."
Bai Qi asked: "How far is it from Tao?"
Wei Ran said: "It's only more than three hundred miles away. It's more than a thousand miles away from Xianyang and passes through the Wei border."
Huayang Jun suddenly said: "Young Master Jiu of the Wei Army is leaving Anyi in front of his troops, or he may enter Wu's camp. If you use Young Master Jiu as a hostage, you may open up the territory of Wei and stop Zhao Jie!"
Wei Ran said: "What do you mean?"
Huayang Jundao: "For the former, there are rumors that Han and Wei rebelled against Qin and attacked the Qin army together - this is honestly a lie! And after the Zhao army overran Qin, the Wei army may take Anyi. When I heard about it, I sent envoys there Anyi, investigate carefully. It is known that Wei Guo has an army of about ten thousand people, and they raid the Tang city under Huoshan Mountain. The soldiers are all exhausted, and there is no way to go. However, their sudden appearance in Anyi is quite troublesome. Lord Wu An thought that this must be the case. Zhao She defeated the remnant soldiers of Wei and Han. However, there were thousands of miles between them and Anyi. It was not easy for the defeated troops to collapse and not disperse. It must be the elite of the Wei soldiers! If the road is cut off and opened to the king of Wei, the king of Wei will be defeated. We must take advantage of the road in Zhonggeng, and Nanyang can be connected."
Wei Ran said: "Is that true?"
Lord Huayang said: "I just got the reward last night. I wanted to pay it back today, but the meeting was temporarily suspended, so I will discuss it with you. Lord Wu An admired the young master Jiu in Wei Dynasty!"
Zhang Lu said: "What Mr. Huayang sees is also consistent with the art of war."
Wei Ran said: "We are only a few hundred miles away from Handan, and reinforcements from the Zhao army are arriving day and night. If we want to pass through Wei, we need to let them pass through Nanyang. I am afraid that delay will not help the emergency."
Zhang Lu said: "If there is nothing to do with the Wei army, it is just as the prince said. Now the Wei army is in Anyi. Although its army is defeated, it will not be defeated. Although its road is thousands of miles, its soldiers will follow its generals. Their generals and soldiers are all extraordinary, and they must be defeated." It is also the essence of Wei! But if you put it this way, if you are ordered to pass the Wei Road, the King of Wei will definitely allow it! Hold the king's festival and enter Jiji, go down the river, it will only take one or two days, and then reach Ningxinzhong, it will not take more than three or four days. "
Wei Ran said: "If Zhao gathers 100,000 people to attack, our army will only be 20,000 and will be defeated in three or four days!" This judgment once again caused silence in the room.
When I was young, Lord Gaoling said: "If the king sends an envoy to Zhao Yanhe..."
Lord Jingyang said: "Whatever Zhao did to Qin, Qin will retaliate. How can we seek peace?"
Lord Gao Ling said: "In the middle of the watch, we are going to supply Wu'an and destroy Handan. The Zhao people are discouraged. The loss of three cities has been repaid. It is time to seek peace at this time! In this case, it is called seeking peace, but it is actually rejecting the Zhao army." If we retreat in the middle of the war, it will all be up to me whether the peace talks will be successful or not."
Zhang Lu said: "Jun Gaoling has a very good idea. The Qin messenger sent it down the river, and it only took a few days to arrive at a few days. At a few days, he informed the Zhao army that the King of Qin had made peace, and Lian Po would not be able to stop it, and it would pass through Handan. Since then, Maybe before we reach Handan, the Wei road has been opened, so we have to retreat!"
