"Yes!" King Wei heard this and immediately ordered Jin Bi: "Jin Bi, after gathering the army, immediately send out scouts to bring back the latest battle report to Gu."
"No!" Jin Bi bowed his head again and responded crisply.
Then he took two steps back, turned around and walked out of the hall. He came and went in a hurry, but he still had the air of a famous general.
Lord Xinling looked at Jin Bi's leaving figure and nodded with appreciation.
Someone asked, why did Lord Xinling, who loves talents so much, not take the lonely minister Jin Bi into his pocket? In history, in order to seize power, he even killed him with his men and broke the last bone of Wei State. .
Could it be that Lord Xinling also has a family background and looks down on Jin Bi who comes from a poor family?
Of course not.
The only strange thing is that Jin Bi is the only general that Wei can defeat.
Although King Wei was a little confused on the surface, his persistence and sensitivity towards military power were innate as a king. Jin Bi is the only general in Wei who can still fight. As the king's younger brother, Lord Xinling, as a civil servant, naturally has to keep a distance from the military generals. This is not only to protect himself, but also to protect Jin Bi.
Of course, because Lord Xinling himself was considered a capable man of both literature and martial arts, when Jin Bi, who was only loyal to the King of Wei, refused to hand over his military power easily, Lord Xinling would kill Jin Bi without any scruples. on the spot.
If you think more deeply, maybe even if Jin Bi immediately offers military power with both hands after seeing the tiger talisman, Lord Xinling will not let Jin Bi go.
It was not that Jin Bi was worried that Jin Bi would return to Wei and accuse him, after all, the king of Wei did not send anyone to chase him, so he had already acquiesced in the fact that Lord Xinling led his army to aid Zhao.
The only possible explanation is: once Jin Bi lost, Wei lost its last capable general. Once Wei faced an external crisis, he might be the only one who could help Wei get out of trouble, thus giving himself " "Stealing Talisman to Save Zhao" returned to Wei eight years later, which provided some possibility.
Of course, these are just conjectures based on history.
Coming back to the present, as Jin Bi retreated, the court meeting came to an end. Looking at the sky that was already showing the white color of fish belly, Lord Xinling immediately retired and returned to his mansion.
However, Lord Xinling did not go to find Lian Po who had been waiting all night. Instead, after a few words of advice to his family elders, he went straight to the back room and quietly fell asleep by himself.
Perhaps because of being too tired, or perhaps because of excitement, Lord Xinling fell asleep almost as soon as he hit the pillow.
In his sleep, Lord Xinling seemed to have seen himself trampling hundreds of thousands of corpses of the Qin and Zhao armies under his feet with his sword. The ground was covered with black flags, red blood, and white bones. On the high platform piled with thousands of corpses, only a red flag with the word Wei was dancing in the wind.
The scene turned to the familiar Daliang City of the Wei State. At this time, Daliang was already decorated with lights and colorful lights, and there were sounds of singing and laughter. Glory was almost written on the faces of every Wei person. The boss of the wine shop poured vats of Wei food into the city. The wine was dragged out and everyone who passed by was invited to drink. Flowers covered the entire central street.
Facing thousands of hot eyes, he led the victorious army in from the north gate. Amid countless cheers, he slowly arrived outside the palace gate and in front of the ancestral temple. Each Qin general was tied up and sacrificed. Ancestral Spirit Tablet.
Groups of auspicious clouds symbolizing the fate of the country condensed over the beams, and finally turned into blue birds and fell into the palace.
The scene turned again, and on a high platform, the King of Wei, wearing a black dragon robe and a nine-pin crown, was holding the Emperor's crown, praying for heaven and earth, proclaiming the revival of Wei, and becoming the uncle of all countries!
Under the high platform, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, and Zhao all came to celebrate.
As the ministers paid their respects, under the nine tassels, there was a vaguely different face...
Here, Lord Xinling is dreaming about unspeakable events. In the east wing, which is only separated by a few walls, Lian Po is restless. Of course, Lian Po is not all pretending. Although the matter of sending troops to aid Zhao had been basically settled in the conversation with Lord Xinling, Lord Xinling was only a king after all, not the king of Wei. Lian Po was not sure whether Lord Xinling could convince King Wei.
Compared with Lian Po's uneasiness, Zhao Kuo seemed very restless on the battlefield to the north, thousands of miles away from him.
The offensive battle in the north has lasted for a whole day and night.
Among the Zhao army, from the general Zhao Kuo to the ordinary cavalry and infantry, they were all approaching their limit. Although since dusk, Zhao Kuo had consciously ordered the armies to slow down their attacks and take turns to rest in due course. But the long battle still ruthlessly consumed the physical strength and enthusiasm of the soldier Zhao.
Among the Qin army, the situation was almost the same. Ying Xi has been on the front line of the battle long ago, and he goes to rescue wherever there is danger. If it were not for his amazing physique, he would have fallen down long ago. The Qin army, which had no advantage at all, became increasingly difficult as its strength decreased.
It can be said that both armies have reached their limits. It depends on who can hold on for the last five minutes.
Zhao Kuo really wanted to continue the stalemate with the Qin army. After all, in such a confrontation, although his side would suffer a lot of losses, the Qin army would also suffer a lot. This was in line with his strategic decision to eliminate the Qin army's effective forces and wait for external intervention.
It is a pity that the Qin army was not willing to end the Shangdang Campaign in such a cost-effective way.
As for this breaking point, the Qin army unsurprisingly chose the barrier on the west bank of Danshui.
After nightfall last night, just as Lian Po slowly knocked on Lord Xinling's door, Sima Cuo led 3,500 elite troops and quietly bypassed Zhao Jun's vast fortress position, heading from east to south, then northwest, coming. Arriving at the front line of the line barrier.
As soon as he arrived at the camp on the west side of the barrier, Sima Cuo immediately showed Wu'an Jun Baiqi's warrant and took over the troops of Wang Qi and Hu Shang who were still attacking the barrier on the east side. After fully understanding the battle situation, he notified Hu Shang's headquarters with the flying pigeon message he brought and agreed on the focus of the attack.
In this way, the original situation of fighting independently due to Hu Shang and Wang Qi not being in charge of each other was greatly alleviated.
There was no conflict between Hu Shang and Wang Qi, but they were both commanders of the partial division and were of the same generation, so naturally they were dissatisfied with each other. It stands to reason that Wang Shang has more cavalry, and Hu Shang has fewer soldiers, so he should cooperate with Wang's cavalry. However, Hu Shang's troops are all elite, and they have successfully completed the task assigned by Wu Anjun - to capture Hanwangshan Camp and Dongshan. As for the west bank barrier, it is not Hu Shang's main task.
Continuing to attack the west bank barrier was what Hu Shang should do as a Qin general. However, continuing to attack did not mean that he had to obey Wang Qi's arrangements. Naturally, Wang Qi did not have such extravagant demands.
Therefore, it is not surprising that each of them is fighting...
