The Rise of the Marquis

Chapter 76 History Turning Point

After Wang Jian and Dongfang Jin returned to the camp, Sun Difang, who originally organized the people to settle down and divide the administrative divisions, brought a letter and waited anxiously outside the camp. He was accompanied by many officials, both civil and military.

Seeing his expression, Wang Jian dismounted and walked over to ask directly: "What's wrong?"

"Marquis, Lord Wu'an stopped supplying us with food and grass, and said that he would not bring us any more food and grass from the day after tomorrow." Sun Difang's forehead was already beaded with sweat, obviously very anxious about this matter.

Dongfang Jin frowned: "Will they be against us?"

Wang Jian shook his head without showing panic, "No."

"Why? You are so sure." Dongfang Jin looked at him puzzled.

"The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the chaos of the world is for profit. When we did not take Heyin, we all regarded Mu Sheng as our enemy. If we have a common enemy, we can unite. Lord Wu An hopes that we will contain the enemy in the south for him.

But he didn't expect us to fight too fast, and soon we will take down Heyin and bypass Lingbao Fortress, and we can attack Maling at any time. If our army really takes down Maling, then Wu'an Gong will support a large amount of food and grass and send troops to contain the north. .

He will naturally cut off our food and grass, and he doesn't want us to continue to march and take down Maling. "

When Wang Jian said this, everyone suddenly became enlightened. Sun Difang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "It seems that I am worrying about nothing."

"Anyway, I'm not going to attack Ma Ling, this is just right.

Write a letter of thanks to Lord Wu An for me, and explain in the letter that there is still a rebellion in Heyin, and our army will stay here to quell the rebellion and will not continue to march to Maling, but will continue to attack Maling City to contain it For the Ma Ling army, one enemy is enough. "

A matter that caused everyone to worry about it was resolved so easily, everyone cast their eyes in admiration, and Dongfang Jin couldn't take his eyes off for a while even standing behind him.

A few days later, Mr. Wu An immediately sent someone to send a reply.

In the letter, Lord Wu An tried his best to explain that he thought that the war was over before he stopped the grain and grass support. Since the Heyang army was still suppressing the rebellion, he would continue to support the grain and grass. The Ling Army expressed its gratitude, and finally emphasized that the enemy's strength in the direction of Maling City is still strong, and there are many defenders in Maling, so they should not attack Maling rashly.

This letter basically confirmed all of Wang Jian's judgments, and Zuoqiu Fufeng, Sun Difang and others were very impressed.

However, in Wang Jian's heart, he realized that a bigger change, a change that broke the tradition was coming, that was the civil war in Zhao!

Once Mr. Wu An really makes a move, and Zhengqing launches a war against Zhengqing, the political tacit understanding of Zhao Guo since the founding of the country will be broken, which will inevitably lead to a wave of chaos!

At that time, civil wars will break out, and the vassals' struggle for hegemony will be irreversible.

"The country of Zhao will soon be in chaos, and we must be fully prepared before that."

Facing the puzzlement of most people, Wang Jian didn't explain anything.

Wuxian Stone stands outside Wu'an City and quietly guards this ancient city.

"Is there really Wuxiang sitting here?" In the restaurant on the second floor of the street opposite the city wall, Gongsun Lin and Zhang Jian, who had just returned from Handan, sat opposite each other. It was emptied, and two officials, one civil and one military, stood behind Mr. Wu'an.

Faced with the old man's question, Gongsun Lin didn't answer immediately, because today is not a meeting between old friends, Zhang Jian dared to come back from Handan, and came with the attitude of a king.

"I grew up listening to this story since I was a child. My parents really saw that the Wuxian Stone blocked the Han army's eastward advance. Whether it is true or not, if it is true, the Wuxian Stone once protected our ancestors, and it will also serve us. Block the enemy and protect the king.

If it is false, it means that the ancestors fought bloodily to protect the territory, and our younger generations can do it too. Even if the powerful Han army is like this, other enemies will not be afraid. "Gongsun Lin answered this question cautiously.

Zhang Jianmie didn't answer immediately, but quietly looked into his eyes.

Gongsun Lin swallowed his saliva, his heart was already hard to calm down, he tried his best to calm down and waited for the other party's answer.
-
A few days ago, he got a big news that the Marquis of Heyang bypassed the Lingbao Fortress in the west and suddenly marched southward, and captured the Honghuagang Fortress along the road built by the Maling people decades ago. The city has completely controlled Heyang, and the passage for the army to enter the city of Maling has been completely opened up.

Because there are no strong cities or fortresses on the road from Heyin to Maling, everyone knows this.

Because of this, the moment Gongsunlin heard the news, he became nervous instantly, and at the same time ordered to stop the food and grass assistance to the Heyang army. He found that what he feared most at this time was not the failure of the Heyang friendly army, but that they took the opportunity to attack. Entering Maling and eliminating Mu Sheng, so that he would support a large amount of food and grass, mobilize and recruit a large number of soldiers, pay a huge price but get nothing, and let the Marquis of the Marquis monopolize all the results and benefits?

This is unacceptable to him, the enemy in his heart has undergone subtle changes.

As a result, within a few days, the Marquis of Heqin sent a letter stating that they were unable to launch an offensive, and that they could only restrain the Maling people in the south if they wanted to clear up the rebels in Heyin.

This letter made him breathe a sigh of relief. On the one hand, he even sent people to reply in a calm tone to stabilize the Heyang people. On the other hand, he asked people to restore food supplies so that they felt that their attitude had not changed and continued to contain the attacking Ma Ling army. .

At the same time, he also realized that their army must act. If they delay again, they will recover when the Heyang people settle the rebellion next year; if they continue to attack, it is very likely that the fertile land and large population of Maling will fall into their hands.

If they don't attack anymore, then he will lose a strong support to help him contain and flank the Ma Ling army. Breaking through the pass in the Red Mountain from the north will require more effort and cost when the Ma Ling army has sufficient troops. A lot of young people died.

But if he launches an attack now, it will be one Zhengqing launching a big battle to eliminate another Zhengqing. Such a thing has never been seen since the founding of Zhao Guo.

Although there have been conflicts and wars between Zhengqing in the past few decades, most of them were negotiated under the mediation of the state leader, and the scale of the war was limited to fighting for villages and towns. What happened to Qing.

It's just that Ma Ling is very weak now, and the opportunity should not be missed!

After a sleepless night of thinking and weighing, he asked his friend Zhang Jian, who is also the uncle of the current Zhao Guozhu, to go to Handan to fight for a piece of king's order for him, if it is Zhao Wang's order.

This is the result of his weighing and thinking, as long as King Zhao ordered him to dare.

In his thinking: Firstly, King Zhao's order is a very legitimate reason to send troops.

Second, as long as King Zhao gives an order, it means that after he does something that breaks the rules, it is impossible for King Zhao to mobilize other princes to defend morality and attack him together.

Now that the friend has come back with King Zhao's intentions, he is sitting opposite him. The distance between the two is only a table away, but he knows that the answer given by the other party at this time will definitely change the history of Zhao State!
