I’m The King Chapter 915: :Huanghuang Hanwei (Thirty Nine)
Wu Qi is fifty-five years old this year, and he has been the chief assistant of the Wei State for just over two years, and these two years were also the most difficult time for the Wei State. After South Korea was destroyed by the Qin people, the Qin State The army immediately aimed its troops at Wei State. Although Wu Qi had tried his best in the past two years, Wei State was no longer the overlord of the Seven Kingdoms. It was getting worse and worse every year, even though Wu Qi only rested two or three times a day. However, the state of Wei was still slipping into the abyss step by step. Wu Qi's efforts only slowed down the speed of the demise of the state of Wei. In the past few years, there have been endless civil strife, Zhao Mu died, and Zilan broke up. The Zhao people who could have competed with the Qin State have fallen, and it is good to keep themselves. Now there are tens of thousands of elite Zhao troops led by Zhou Changshou to help Wu Qi is already very grateful for the battle of Wei State.
Of course, Zhao Guo didn't help in vain. For the Zhao army of more than 10,000 people, Wei Guo had to pay a huge fee to Zhao Guo, and he had to bear all the expenses of the more than 10,000 Zhao army.
The mutiny of the Yan army in Quwo almost ruined Wu Qi's many years of hard work. Most of the Wei country was lost. This made Wu Qi very angry. People, after all, in the past two years, Wei State has been friendly with Zhengdong Mansion, and has obtained a large number of elite weapons from Zhengdong Mansion, such as arm crossbows. As for what Gaoyuan Zhengdong Mansion is going to do, no one on this continent does not understand.
Accommodating Ji Ling is tantamount to turning evil against the Eastern Mansion. Wu Qi is a very practical politician. He doesn't care about how the Yan Kingdom changes and who is in power. He only cares about whether the Wei Kingdom can be preserved. Now it seems that the strong Conquering the Eastern Army can help the Wei people to resist the Qin army, and Gao Yuan, the governor of the Zhengdong Mansion, has shown hostility towards the Qin people from the beginning to the end, which also makes Wu Qi pay more attention to the Zhengdong Mansion than the Yan Kingdom. He objected and took in Ji Ling.
Wu Qi is also very clear about the reasons for this. Firstly, Ji Ling is a royal family after all, and King Wei is saddened by this situation. Second, King Wei is also greedy for the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Yan army. A piece of land to recuperate and help the Wei people to resist the Qin army, tens of thousands of elite Yan troops, is a very impressive force.
The king is the king after all, Wu Qi's objection did not work, Ji Ling stayed in Quwo, and then ruined the solid line of defense that Wei had finally built up, allowing the Qin army led by Lu Chao to rush hundreds of In the past, most of Wei State was lost.
When Wu Qi was about to despair, Qin Jun suddenly went out of Fengcheng, entered Ye San Pass, ambushed the Zhengdong Army, and buried the five thousand Zhengdong Army in Yesan Pass Inside Mashaping Canyon.
When the news reached Daliang, the anxious Wu Qi was overjoyed. He keenly sensed that this was a good opportunity for Wei Guo to come back to life. I will bear this breath, and I will inevitably retaliate. Zhengdong's army has just wiped out Donghu, defeated the Qi people, and their morale is high. The nearly 200,000 troops are accustomed to fighting. The Qin people somehow provoke Zhengdong at this time. Army, but it is the gospel of Wei State. As long as the Eastern Conqueror Army is full of troops and goes to war with Qin State, it will be a chance for the rebirth of Wei State. The joint conquest of Eastern Army, Zhao Army, and the three allied forces are enough to beat the people of Qin back to their hometown. Go.
And what happened next proved Wu Qi's idea even more. Zhengdong army brazenly invaded the Qin territory from Shannan County, and defeated Qin general Wang Jian step by step. His direct descendants of the Young Guards personally marched.
Wu Qi rushed from Daliang to Chadianzi with great interest to meet Gao Yuan. In his heart, the alliance of Wei, Yan, and Zhao armies had basically taken shape. A heavy blow.
Arriving at Chadianzi, Wu Qi saw the world-famous Zhengdong Army for the first time. The strict military appearance, high morale, and excellent equipment made Wu Qi even more delighted and gave him more confidence. .
The dry food of Zhengdong Army is good! Pick up a small piece of jerky wrapped in kraft paper from the table, tear off the kraft paper, throw away the jerky and chew slowly in your mouth. It tastes very good. It seems that when it was made , It took a lot of thought, but it's a pity that there is no wine, and the tea prepared for him doesn't taste very good.
When the curtain was lifted, Yan Shenghao stepped in, "Wu Xiang!" Glancing at the table, Yan Shenghao said with a smile: "This is the dry food for our army, doesn't it taste good?"
"It's really good!" Wu Qi swallowed the jerky in his mouth, clapped his hands, and stood up, "It's a pity that there is no wine."
Yan Shenghao laughed, "Alcohol is prohibited in the military."
"Could it be that your governors can't drink too much?" Wu Qi asked.
"I'm in the army, of course I can't!" Yan Shenghao said with a smile: "President Wu, please sit down. I'm really sorry that the reception in the army is slow, but now that the two armies are facing each other, Prime Minister Wu can understand."
"Of course, of course, when will the governor see me?" Wu Qi asked.
Yan Shenghao gave a dry cough, "The governor is still in Yesanguan Mashaping Canyon at this time, I am afraid it will take a few days to get there."
"Then I'll go to the Mashaping Valley to meet the governor Gao." Wu Qi said.
"Wu Xiang, Mashaping Canyon is the place where 5,000 of our soldiers died in heroic battles. Now we are looking for the bones of the dead. If we find a batch, we will send a batch back. The governor will personally monitor it. The completion of this matter will prevent those rough-handed soldiers from disturbing the souls of the martyrs, and moreover!" Yan Shenghao pondered for a while, and then said: "Wu Xiang, now our governor is in a very bad mood, very bad, and I don't want to see anyone People other than the soldiers of the Eastern Conquest Army, what can you talk about when you go at this time? If you don’t wait here with peace of mind, until the remains of those soldiers are transported away, the governor will not see these remains, and the mood will naturally change It will be better. When we meet again, it will be better for both parties, don’t you think?”
"So that's the case, the reputation of the governor's benevolence and justice is really well-deserved. If this is the case, I really don't want to go to Mashaping to bother me, but when will the governor come back?" Wu Qiqi nodded and asked.
"It won't take long. When I came back today, the last two graves have been found. It will take a day or two at most. The key is that General Naha died so badly. You may not know it. General Naha is the old man that the governor followed when he was helping the wind. Such a veteran, the governor has always valued him very much. Our governor is a very affectionate person. When we saw the body of General Naha, the mood... "
"Understand, understand, I can wait for two days, it's okay." Wu Qi also had a sad face, "General Naha died young, and I also feel sorry for him! Yan Yizheng, here in Fengcheng The two armies are facing each other, looking at it like this, the Zhengdong army will not launch an attack on the Qin people for a while, but I don't know what good news there is from Shannan County?"
"Of course!" Yan Shenghao clapped his hands, "Just received the Kuaima Army report that Commander He Lanxiong has arrived in Jiuyuan, and now Wang Jian's 20,000 troops have been wiped out by our army, and the rest have shrunk to Jiuyuan Except for Kaijun City, all other places in Jiuyuan County have fallen into my hands.”
"That's great!" Wu Qi was overjoyed, "If you break Jiuyuan County, you can go straight to the hinterland of the Qin people. I'm not afraid that the Qin people will not return to the teacher to rescue them!"
"The city of Jiuyuan County is highly dangerous and solid, and it cannot be defeated in a day or two. Moreover, our army is exhausted from expeditions, and food and grass are not enough. Jiuyuan County is also poor enough. He Lanxiong complained in the military newspaper. Now he can't even get together the army rations! It's hard to conquer Jiuyuan County in a short time!" Yan Shenghao shook his head again and again." Wu Xiang also knows that I have been fighting with Donghu almost all the time in the past two years since I conquered Dongfu. People are fighting against Qi people. This battle is certainly won, but it also kills one thousand enemies and loses eight hundred. Now my pockets are empty and food and grass are scarce. To be honest, this time I sent troops and did my best. Well, who told us to conquer Dongfu with a weak foundation, it is like your country, with a deep foundation!"
"What do you mean by strictly discussing politics?" Wu Qi narrowed his eyes.
"The governor insisted on teaching the Qin people a lesson, but Jiang Yizheng tried his best to oppose it, saying that we can no longer fight, and if we fight again, the economy will go bankrupt. Wu Xiang also knows that when we conquer the East Mansion, Jiang Yizheng can be half of the family, so although the governor decided to fight this time, Jiang Yizheng did not follow. This is the reason. Today in Mashaping, I heard what the governor said, and I regretted it. If we clash with the Qin people on a large scale, I'm afraid we won't last long, and we will have to retreat!"
Wu Qi was startled. Yan Shenghao's words were true and false, but the key point is that Wu Qi knew that the Zhengdong Mansion had indeed fought several battles against the country. Withdrawal, my full hopes will be in vain.
"What does the governor mean?"
"The governor feels that we have shown our strength to the Qin people, and the Qin people also saw that if we put our lives together, we can also severely injure them. Therefore, if the Qin people are willing to negotiate, it is not impossible. "Yan Shenghao said.
"Then, the general died in vain!" Wu Qi asked.
"The governor, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. The key is that we can't fight a big battle right now!" Yan Shenghao shook his head.
"Strictly discussing politics, the Qin people are wolfish ambitions, everyone knows that the Zhengdong Army has just severely injured the Qin people, if we stop here, as long as the Qin people recover, I am afraid that the future of the Eastern Army will be difficult. This time they were caught off guard and suffered a big loss in Jiuyuan County. How can there be such an opportunity in the future, and how can the Qin people suffer this big loss in vain? They will definitely take revenge on Zhengdong Mansion and strictly discuss politics. , but you must never back down halfway!"
"Of course we understand this truth, but we just don't have the money to fight, so what can we do? We can only forbear for the future! It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge!" Yan Shenghao shook his head and said authentically.
Wu Qi already understood Yan Shenghao's meaning in his heart, didn't he just want to ask Wei Guo for money! He was annoyed, but he couldn't get angry. Years? I'm afraid it will be difficult in three to five years.
"As long as the Zhengdong Army is willing to continue to fight against Qin, Wei Guo is willing to bear half of this need." Wu Qi gritted his teeth.
"The treasury of my conquest of Dongfu is empty, even if your country is willing to pay half of it, we are still weak in succession!"
"Seventy percent!" Wu Qi said loudly: "I'll send people back immediately to raise food and military expenses for the Eastern Army, how about it?"
Yan Shenghao was overjoyed and stood up, "That's very good, then please ask Wu Xiang to take care of this matter first, and I will go to see the governor and explain Wu Xiang's sincerity to the governor." (to be continued)
