Chapter 582: The progress of the war

Wei State, Anyi, in the palace of the Wei Kingdom.

On the campus of the palace, flags were roaring, and the stern soldiers looked solemnly alert.

A few dozen steps ahead of the target, Wei King Wei was holding a strong bow in his hand.

The breathing gradually slowed down, the target became clearer, and the sound of the bowstring suddenly rose above the training ground after counting breaths.

The arrows cut through the air, crossed dozens of steps, and plunged straight into the target ahead.

"color!"

With a cheer, Wei Gongsun Qi had already arrived next to Wei Hu.

"The king's style is not as good as that of the past!"

"How can I talk about the difference between the past?" Turning around with a smile on his face, Wei Qi said loudly: "Old, this bow will probably not be able to be pulled in a few years."

After making self-deprecating about his aging body every day, Wei Feng quickly put away the joke.

"The Prime Minister entered the palace today, is there something wrong?"

"That's right. A few steps forward, Gongsun Qi bowed and reported: "King, Zhao State has sent troops."

"Good thing!" Wei Yu handed the bow to the servant beside him. He grabbed Gongsun Qi's hand and asked: "What is the specific situation of the battle? Let's talk about it in detail."

"Your Majesty, I have reported five days ago that the 20,000 vanguard troops of Sima's troops had crossed the Yishui River to the southwest of the Zhongshan Kingdom."

"I know this." Recalling this military situation, Wei Yu couldn't help but sigh: "Sima is really very powerful in his military force. He first attacked Yan State, and now he is facing west to attack Zhongshan."

"The king is wise and Zhongshan is also afraid of Sima's combat power. In order to deal with the Western Crossing Forward, Zhongshan sent 40,000 troops to resist."

"As for the 50,000 elite Zhongshan soldiers in the south, they were firmly monitored by General Long Jia under Ye City and were deeply in a dilemma."

When Wei Yu heard this, he thought about the military strength of Zhongshan Kingdom, and he knew it in his heart.

"Apart from the troops and horses of the northern regions that resisted the Huns, Loufan and other tribes, the current military strength of Zhongshan Kingdom is already in short supply."

“That’s exactly that.”

In response, Gongsun Qi continued to introduce, "It was precisely because of the predicament of Zhongshan Kingdom at this time that Zhao State, who was determined to clear the shame of defeat in the previous battle, took all his strength."

"With the Zhongshan Kingdom's unpreparedness, 30,000 Zhao troops left the east through Jingxing, and now Jingxing Pass has fallen into the hands of Zhao."

"Go back and talk."

In the main hall, the king and his minister sat opposite each other, and a map of the land of Hebei was unfolded between them.

"The Eight Passes of Taihang are eight important roads that cross the Taihang Mountains."

"Now Jingxing has fallen into the hands of Zhao State, the 30,000 Zhao troops are like tigers going down the mountain, and their army is unstoppable."

"Not only that, please look at it, the king." Gongsun Qi's right fingertip fell on the map. "Jingxing Pass is only more than a hundred miles away from Tuling, Zhongshan Kingdom, and there is Mianman Water connected between the two."

"If these 30,000 Zhao troops head north along the Mianman River, then Zhongshan will be in a hurry."

He put all this in his eyes, and there was an unconcealed joy in his eyes. "In this way, even if the power of the Zhao army was unable to conquer Lingshou with 30,000 Zhao troops, it could still make Zhongshan Kingdom terror."

"When you are desperate, Zhongshan Kingdom will inevitably order the 50,000 Zhongshan troops under Yecheng to return to defense, and this will give General Long Jia a chance to fight."

"First defeat the main elite of Zhongshan Army, and then head north with the great victory, becoming the third sharp knife for our Great Wei to stab the Zhongshan Kingdom."

"Thirty thousand Zhao troops are heading east, sixty thousand Yan and Wei coalition forces are heading west, and fifty thousand Wei elite troops are heading north..."

With his right fist clenched his fist and smashed hard on the map, Wei Hu looked solemn, "It will be determined by fighting to the north of the river."

After a long time passed, Wei Fu slowly restrained the majesty around him, and a gentle temperament appeared on him.

"After this battle, I can feel at ease to hand over the world to Shen'er and enjoy my old age."

"The King..."

Hearing the retreat in Wei Ju's words, Gongsun Qi was at a loss for a moment.

Wei Feng put the expression on his face into his eyes, but the corner of his mouth curled up slightly, "Prime Minister, do you remember when I just succeeded to the throne and met at the city of Anyi?"

How could Gongsun Qi forget that scene?

One is the winner who is full of energy and is about to ascend the throne, and the other is the prisoner who survived by chance. The encounter between the two sides is so dramatic.

"The king, I will not forget it."

"I heard that in addition to the talent of the world, the prime minister has also been quite accomplished in fishing."

"I would like to be a fishing old man and sit by the river. I don't know..." While speaking, Wei Feng's hand had already held Gongsun Qi's hand, "I don't know if sir can teach me?"

"I dare not refuse what I wish."

The king and his minister looked at each other, and the tacit understanding of each other for many years turned into a smile on their faces.

Although he is thousands of miles away, the progress of the Zhongshan battlefield is exactly the same as what Wei Hu and Gongsun Qi envisioned in the palace hall.

Because the Wei army's offensive in Yan State was too fierce, Zhongshan State almost used all its remaining troops to deal with the Wei and Yan coalition forces that had crossed the Yishui River.

The Zhongshan Kingdom, which had been long-lost rival, thought that it was a Taihang Mountain separated by the Taihang Mountains, did not pay enough attention to Zhao.

So, when the 30,000 Zhao army captured Jingxing Pass like a divine weapon descending from the sky, Zhongshan Kingdom even didn't know how to react.

The State of Zhao will not give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The 30,000 Zhao troops went north along the Mianman River and headed straight to the city of Shou, Tuling, Zhongshan Kingdom.

For a moment, the Zhongshan court was shocked!

The soldiers were on guard and guarded the city. While the silk books asking for help flew to all parts of Zhongshan like snowflakes, among which a "snowflake" flew to the Zhongshan Army camp under Yecheng.

"General, our army can't really delay here!"

"Except for the raid when we arrived, the Wei army in the city had almost no attack."

"Wei army is waiting for labor and defends the city. Our army comes from afar and its offensive is frustrated. If this continues, our army will sooner or later be dragged to death under this Ye city. General..."

"Enough!"

The deputy general was still waiting to continue talking, but Sima Xi, the chief general of Zhongshan, shouted sternly: "Do you think I don't want to withdraw?"

"The Wei army seemed to be sitting in Yecheng, but it was always concerned about our army's every move. Do you believe that as long as there is any movement, the Wei army will reveal its terrible fangs."

With subconscious eyes looking outside the tent, Sima Xi's eyes were filled with fear, "Whoever takes action first will be at a disadvantage."

"But it is not a long-term solution for the general to delay like this. Our army..."

Sima Xi couldn't see the current situation clearly, but when he thought of the combat power of the Wei army, he did not have the confidence to defeat the opponent head-on with almost the same force.

"Report..."

Before the debate in the tent could completely dissipate, a sudden report made the atmosphere tense again.
