Chapter 581: Zhongshan Strategy
The civil strife within Yan State was just an episode in this drama in the world, but the highlight was the confrontation between the north and the south in full swing.
With the establishment of Yan State, Wei State's previous strategy was realized and the three sides of the siege of Zhongshan State was successfully completed.
With the stability of the situation in Yan State, Wei took advantage of the plan of Yan State to attack Zhongshan State and put it on the agenda.
"Report..."
The report sounded in his ears, Sun Boling, the chief general of the Wei army, slowly raised his head.
"What's the matter?" Sun Boling asked with a solemn expression on his face.
The messenger below immediately took out the silk book he brought, "Report to Sima, the King of Anyi to issue military orders."
When Sun Boling heard that it was a military order from Anyi, hesitated without any hesitation and immediately ordered someone to obtain the military order.
He opened the silk book and took a brief look, and a touch of solemn suddenly appeared on Sun Boling's face.
"Go, please come General Gongsun."
"Here."
Not long after, passing through the closely guarded chief general, Xishou Gongsun Yan met Sun Boling who was standing in front of a map and pondering.
"The last general Gongsun Yan, pay a visit to Sima."
"No need to be polite." Seeing Gongsun Yan coming, Sun Boling didn't talk nonsense and immediately handed over the silk book in his hand, "Any military order, look at it."
He took it, his eyes kept wandering on it, and the next moment, an excited voice rang out in the tent.
"I reported to Sima that the last general thought that the prime minister was the king and the prime minister was fully thoughtful, and our army should take advantage of the victory and attack Zhongshan Kingdom in one fell swoop."
After listening to Gongsun Yan's suggestion, Sun Boling nodded slightly, "Then what should our army take next? Let's talk about it in detail."
"Here."
Without any delay, Gongsun Yan came to Sun Boling's side with decisiveness, "Sima, please see, Yan State and Zhongshan State are bounded by Yishui, and Wuyang City is an important town above the borders of both sides."
"Now, Wuyang has taken over my hands and has all the food, supplies and supplies. Our army can attack Zhongshan Kingdom based on Wuyang."
Gongsun Yan's fingers followed the map down, "After attacking Lexu, Gucheng, Zuoren and other cities, the capital of Zhongshan Lingshou will be under the army's military."
"Report..."
Just as Gongsun Yan and Sun Boling planned the next battle in Zhongshan, a report sounded in their ears.
"Report to Sima, General Gongsun,..."
It turned out that the 20,000 troops that had been recalled by Duke Yan, who had agreed to attack Wei before, and were recalled because of Sun Boling's troops' advance, had successfully returned to Yan, and are now stationed in Gaoyang City, located on the border of Yan.
For Sun Boling's troops, who have now transformed from an enemy to a friendly army, this army is a bit late.
How to arrange the only remaining elite troops in Yan State has become a somewhat difficult problem facing Sun Boling and the others.
After listening to the visitor's report, Sun Boling looked at Gongsun Yan, "Xi Shou thought how should he arrange the 20,000 army?"
"I thought the 20,000 troops were back at the right time." Gongsun Yan's face was full of excitement at this moment, "Sima should ask the prince to ask the 20,000 troops to attack Zhongshan together with our army."
"First, Zhongshan's national strength is much stronger than Yan State. With our army's current strength alone, we may not be able to catch it. With these 20,000 Yan troops assisting, our army will be able to attack with ease."
"Secondly, the movements of these 20,000 Yan troops also represent the attitude of Yan State. If the 20,000 Yan troops attack Zhongshan State with our army, then everyone in the world will think that Yan State has completely stood on the side of our Great Wei."
“Three…”
When he talked about this third reason, Gongsun Yan took a step forward and put his mouth to Sun Boling's ears.
"Although Gongzi Si is concerned about our Great Wei, the Yan Kingdom has not been pacified for a long time. If someone is interested in joining these 20,000 troops, take advantage of our army's attack on Zhongshan Kingdom..."
Sun Boling listened to the words in his ears, but the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
"Good, great kindness!"
With a burning look at Gongsun Yan, Sun Boling immediately ordered: "Since that's the case, you will still be the vanguard. Wait until 20,000 Yan troops arrive in Wuyang. You will lead 10,000 Wei troops and 10,000 Yan troops to cross the Yishui River first and conquer the land of Zhongshan Kingdom."
"The last one will obey the order!"
At the command of Sun Boling, the war machine that had just stopped was immediately activated and was ready to launch a fatal attack on the next opponent.
However, the Prime Minister of Wei, Gongsun Qi, never took action, and once he made a move, he was thunderous and thunderous, making people unable to resist.
The southern line of Yecheng dragged 50,000 Zhongshan troops, and the eastern line of Wei and Yan coalition was about to cross the Yishui River south. How could Gongsun Qi forget the western line?
...
Zhao State, Jinyang.
Since being defeated by Wei and signed the Underworld Alliance, Zhao seemed to have really lost its former courage and became the vassal state behind Wei that was willing to be ordinary.
But even the Wei Kingdom, which defeated it with his own hands, did not believe that the Zhao family, who was once praised as the strong man of Jian Xiang, would really be in a slump.
Although the national strength of Zhao State cannot be compared with the past, the combat power of Zhao's army cannot be underestimated.
In order to deal with Zhongshan Kingdom, the last opponent in the north of Zhongxia, the envoy of Wei went north from Anyi and arrived at Jinyang, the former rising place of Zhao's family, and the current foundation city.
"But please rest assured that since the King of Wei has an order, no one in Zhao dares not to obey. Zhongshan is an enemy of Wei, which is an enemy of Zhao."
"When our State of Zhao is purging its troops and raising food and grass, we will soon be able to go east to Taihang and directly take the key points of Zhongshan."
After receiving such an answer from Zhao Hou Zhao Yu, the Wei envoy from Anyi was very satisfied.
"If Zhao Hou can do this, the king will be very happy after hearing this. The foreign minister immediately returned to the inn and returned the good news to Anyi. I hope Zhao Hou can seize the time and send troops as soon as possible."
"I'm not waiting for time, Mr. Zhao, the foreign minister said goodbye!"
Looking at the figure of Wei Envoy disappearing from sight, the original smile on Zhao Yu's face disappeared suddenly, and instead he was filled with coldness.
"I want our Zhao State to send troops and attack Zhongshan State with his Wei State..."
"snort!"
"Your Majesty, this time our State of Zhao not only needs to send troops, but also seek the greatest victory."
Looking in the direction of the sound, Zhao Xiangfeiyi, who had not spoken just now, came to Zhao Yu's side.
"Zhao is now a minister of Wei, and he should be ordered by the sect leader to send troops to fight the enemy. If our Zhao country spreads its troops across the country to attack Zhongshan, people in the world will praise the emperor, which is the name."
"Wei State invited our Zhao State to send troops to attack Zhongshan State and promised half of the land in Zhongshan State's hands. As long as we can win this battle, this land will be taken into account by our Zhao State, which is profit."
"Zhongshan Kingdom and our Zhao Kingdom have always had hatred, and our Zhao Kingdom was even more severely damaged by the previous battle. If we can defeat Zhongshan Kingdom this time, we can avenge our previous shame. This is revenge."
"Name, profit, revenge..."
Fei Yi bowed deeply to Zhao Yu, "I beg you to raise the troops of Zhao State to attack and destroy Zhongshan!"
"Name!"
"Make a profit!"
"revenge!"
Every word echoed in his ears, Zhao Yu's fighting spirit grew in his eyes, and his left hand even tightly grasped the long sword around his waist.
At this point, the last puzzle of the Wei State's Zhongshan strategy was also announced to be completed because of the conversation between the Zhao family's monarch and minister.
Chapter completed!
