Chapter 134 The rise and fall of the war

In the State of Wei, the capital city is Anyi, in the palace of Wei.

In the back hall, Wei Feng, wearing a red robe, stood alone, his eyes always fixed on the map in front of him.

After being silent for a long time, Wei Feng gently stretched out his right hand and slowly drew a thin, winding line on the map between the river and Mount Hua.

Feeling the mottled touch from his fingertips and looking at this extremely familiar thin line in front of him, Wei Feng's eyes showed a trace of confusion.

What this thin clue outlines is none other than the Hexi Great Wall built by the Wei State in the previous life to resist the Qin State.

Once upon a time, Wei Feng hoped that with this Great Wall, he could block the rising Qin State to the west of the river.

But just like the Great Wall in later generations was an offensive weapon in the hands of powerful dynasties, but in the hands of weak dynasties it was just a fortress that would be captured sooner or later;

The Hexi Great Wall was not able to stop the wolf-like Qin State, and the Wei State also completely lost hundreds of miles of land in Hexi soon after.

After that, the Qin State became increasingly powerful and the Wei State declined day by day. The Wei State, which was once one of the overlords of the world, could only barely protect itself among the alliances of other countries.

The scenes he experienced in his previous life were constantly recalled in his mind, and a sense of humiliation kept emerging from Wei Feng's heart.

His right hand was clenched into a fist, and the veins exposed on the back of his hand were so ferocious. When his eyes were slightly opened, a low roar appeared in the apse.

"Qin!"

After slowly spitting out these two words, Wei Feng slowly closed his eyes, and the agitation in his heart was calmed down in a matter of seconds.

Until the sound completely disappeared in the apse, Wei Feng's eyes moved to the map in front of him again. At this moment, his eyes were already calm.

For Wei Feng at this moment, everything in his past life has become a thing of the past, and what he has to do now is to decide what conditions to propose to Qin.

His gaze shifted westward toward the outlined thin line, and the current capital of Qin State, Yueyang, appeared in front of him.

Accompanied by Long Jia and Pang Juan, the two armies from the south and the north crossed the Luoshui River one after another. The capital of the country, which Qin Gong Ying Shixi regarded as the bridgehead to resist Wei's offensive, was already at its gates.

Although the city wall of Yueyang is strong and the Qin State will definitely send heavy troops to defend it, Long Jia and Pang Juan on the front line, Wei Feng in Anyi, and even Ying Shixi as his opponent all understand one fact.

Facing an army of more than 100,000 soldiers with high morale, even if Yueyang could hold on for a longer period of time, it would inevitably become a target of Wei.

Once Yueyang was captured by Wei, Qindong, at least several cities such as Gaoling and Jingyang east of Jingshui River, would be directly exposed to the Wei army's front.

Through this battle in Hexi, the Wei State was fully capable of moving the front line of Qin and Wei two hundred miles westward from Luoshui to the line of Jingshui, one of the two most important rivers in Guanzhong.

It can be said that after this war, the hundreds of years of hard work of the ancestors of the Qin State were almost destroyed in one day.

His eyes followed the Jingshui River that merged into the Wei River from north to south, and Wei Feng's eyes passed over Yunyang, Jingyang and other cities in turn.

After a few breaths, Wei Feng's gaze shifted slightly and looked at a piece of land west of the Jing River and north of the Wei River on the map.

If Wei Feng remembers correctly, a majestic capital city will be erected in more than ten years on this land that is still plain at this moment.

Because of the power of the Qin State, the capital gradually became prosperous and could even compete with Daliang and Xinzheng in the Central Plains.

The name of this capital is Xianyang.

Looking at this piece of land that had no markings at the moment, a smile from the bottom of his heart appeared on Wei Feng's face.

After a long time, Wei Feng's right index finger stretched out again, and another thin line was outlined on the map.

This thin line started from Yunyang in the north, passed through Jingyang, the former capital of Qin State, in the south, and finally stopped at a city named Qin.

After outlining this thin line, Wei Feng's right hand clenched into a fist again and hit the land west of Jingshui River heavily.

"boom……"

Along with a loud noise, Wei Feng's cheerful laughter also appeared in the hall.

"Hahaha……"

What Wei Feng didn't know was that there was a township on the edge of the piece of land he had just smashed down. In later generations, it had a name that people all over the world yearned for.

Chang'an.

One step, two steps, three steps...

When the laughter gradually subsided, Wei Feng's figure had already arrived at the door of the apse. With a slight smile, he first cast his eyes towards the western sky.

If there are no accidents, this battle in Hexi is not far from coming to an end, and Wei is undoubtedly the winner of this war.

After a while, the smile on Wei Feng's face gradually disappeared, and his eyes moved from west to east.

One war has ended, and another has just begun.



In the main tent of the coalition forces outside Puyang City, the capital of Wei State, thousands of miles away from Anyi, Wei State's Sima Gongsun Qi, who was the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces that defeated Qi this time, slowly looked away from the map in front of him.

.

Turning to look at the deputy general Gongsun Cuo, the chief general Gongsun Qi then asked softly: "How is the situation of the coalition forces of various countries?"

Upon hearing the inquiry from the chief general Gongsun Qi, the deputy general Gongsun Cuo stepped forward quickly and placed his right hand on the map in front of him.

As the right hand of the deputy general Gongsun Cuo moved quickly above the map, the situation of the Qi coalition forces was displayed in front of Gongsun Qi, the chief general.

The first is the route that is located in the far north and has the least number of troops, with 40,000 troops sent by the State of Zhao.

The task of this large army is to first capture the three cities of Lingqiu, Hejian and Pingshu in Qi State, and then wait for the opportunity to attack north of the river, ready to attack Gaotang, one of the five capitals of Qi State.

Secondly, there are 60,000 elite troops dispatched by the Chu State to the east along the road south of Qi State's territory.

The goal of this large army is to first occupy the cities of Xue, Xiapi, Tan and other cities in the southern part of Qi State, and then advance the battle line to Jucheng, one of the five capitals of Qi State.

Finally, it is located in the middle and is also the most populous of the three routes. It consists of 120,000 soldiers from the five kingdoms of Wei, Han, Song, Lu, and Wei.

It can be seen from the size of the troops that the army in the center is the one responsible for the general offensive among the three armies of the north, center and south.

As the commander-in-chief of the entire Qi coalition army and the commander-in-chief of the central army, Gongsun Qi set three goals for this army:

First, defeat the 80,000 Qi army in front of them with superior force, completely eliminating the threat posed by the Qi army to Wei Guancheng.

Second, seize large areas of Qi cities including Maling, Yangjin, Wuyan, and Pinglu, and push the coalition's front line to the Qi Great Wall again.

Third, try your best to attract the main force of the Qi army to buy enough time for the Zhao army on the north road to attack Gaotang and the Chu army on the south road to capture Jucheng. 1

If these three goals of the army in the middle are achieved one by one, and the Zhao army and Chu army in the north and south also achieve their respective strategies, then the coalition forces will attack the Great Wall of Qi from the north, center and south.

Eventually, the three armies will complete their rendezvous in a city, which is the capital of Qi State, Linzi.
Chapter completed!
