A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 238 Father is kind and son is filial, South Korea asks for help

South Korea's "Father's kindness and son's filial piety" drama is finally coming to an end, after all, it is Han Wangzhao who is superior.Although Han Wangzhao was beaten badly by Huai country, it was because of the lack of overall strength of South Korea.

Seriously speaking, Han Wangzhao and Shen Buhai's reform can be regarded as wise kings in Korea.Even though Han Wangkang had already gained the upper hand under Wang Kan's deliberate delay, after Han Wangzhao returned, it didn't take long for Han Wangzhao to take control of the court again.

Han Wangkang had to flee to Wei State in the end.

King Wei took in Han Wangkang. Since the three families were divided into Jin Dynasty, Wei State has always wanted to annex South Korea and Zhao State.It's just that there has been no suitable opportunity, and Zhao Guo and South Korea also have this kind of thinking.

Now Zhao State is in the middle of a war with Zhongshan State, Qin State did not attack Wei State because of the containment of Western Chu State, and more importantly, South Korea fell into civil strife and its national power was weak, and Han Wangkang came to ask for help. A once in a lifetime opportunity.

The king of Wei immediately used Pang Juan as his general to attack South Korea in the name of escorting Han Wangkang back to the country to ascend the throne.Han Wangzhao was furious, and immediately recruited an army to fight against Wei Guo.

It's just that Han Wangzhao overestimated his own strength.Although the State of Wei was defeated by the State of Qin, it was still not something South Korea could deal with. South Korea was defeated in Nanliang.Han Wangzhao was also awakened by this battle. He clearly realized the gap between South Korea and Wei State, and immediately sent an envoy to Qi State for help.

When the envoy of the king of Han came to the state of Qi, he asked to see the king of Qi.Then he asked the king of Qi for help, and asked the state of Qi to send troops to attack the state of Wei.

King Qi did not agree directly, but asked the South Korean envoys to go back and wait for the news because of the important matter of sending troops to attack Huai country.

After the South Korean envoy left, King Qi asked the minister if he wanted to rescue South Korea.

Shangqing Zhang Yu stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Wei is strong and Han is weak. If we don't save South Korea, Wei will definitely defeat South Korea and annex it. At that time, Wei's national strength will increase greatly, and Qi will not be of any benefit. Minister It is suggested that troops should be sent to rescue Han."

"Also, Qin State has just invited Qi State to form an alliance with Wei State, and this time it is just right to invite Qin State to send troops to help."

Lu Ji on the other side remonstrated:
"Your Majesty, I feel that if we send troops now, South Korea and Wei will still have the strength to spare. If we send troops at this time, Qi will have to fight against Wei. Why don't we send troops to rescue Han after the Wei army is exhausted from attacking Han? It can weaken Han and Wei, and our loss is very small."

King Qi felt that Lu Ji's strategy was better, so he immediately agreed.So he told the South Korean envoy that Qi State agreed to send troops to rescue, but deliberately did not tell the envoy the specific time.

After getting the promise from Qi State, Han Wangzhao immediately decided to continue to fight hard with Wei State.As a result, it was defeated by the State of Wei again, but the reinforcements from the State of Qi had not yet arrived.

South Korea's monarchs and ministers knew that they could not stop Wei State from attacking Wei State at all, so they deployed defense lines in many cities in South Korea to block Wei State. transfer.

After two years of fighting for "Father's kindness and son's filial piety", South Korea's national strength is weak, even if it is defending, it can't resist, and Pang Juan broke through the defense several times in a row.

At this time, South Korea couldn't bear it anymore, and once again sent envoys to Qi for help, and King Qi agreed to send troops to rescue South Korea.

Before King Qi sent troops, King Hai of Qi sent envoys to Qin State, asking Qin State to send troops together.

Qin Guo was very happy when he learned that Qi State was going to attack Wei.

Gongsun Yang said: "Your Majesty, this is a god-given opportunity. As long as Qi State attacks Wei State, we will have a chance."

"However, in order to prevent the Western Chu Kingdom from making trouble, please send a large army to garrison Shu and Mei County."

The army of Qi State sent troops to rescue South Korea.But then Qi Guo discovered that Wei Guo was not as weak as he imagined.Wei State was in the place of the Four Wars, and the soldiers were all elite soldiers. After several consecutive battles, Qi State immediately understood that this would be a cruel fight.

After receiving the assistance from Qi State, South Korea finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Qi State does not send troops again, South Korea will really be unable to resist surrendering.

After a fight between Qi State and Wei State, both sides felt the strength of the other side, so one after another defensive fortifications began to be continuously deployed, the armies of both sides strangled each other head-on, and at the same time sent small groups of elite troops to harass the enemy's rear.

A large number of scouts were sent out to find the opponent's weakness, or to cut off the way back, or to sneak attack the food and grass stronghold.

Qi State and Wei State were testing and fighting on a small scale.Although there was no major war, the casualties on both sides were not small.

Because of the attack on South Korea, Wei State consumed a lot of food and grass, and many soldiers were killed and injured. Then it confronted Qi State. Wei State’s food and grass consumption was severe. .

Therefore, the State of Wei wanted to make a quick decision and defeat the State of Qi as soon as possible.

In order to prevent the surprise attack of Qin State, Wei State sent his son Ang as the governor of Hexi to preside over the land of Hexi.Young Master Ang is indeed talented.Since the last truce between the Qin and Wei dynasties, they have been exhorting farming and mulberry training and training soldiers. After three years of this, the land of Hexi has recovered some weather.

"Master Zuo Shu, now that Wei State is fighting with Qi State, it is a good time to send troops." Qin Hou couldn't wait to regain the land of Hexi.

"Your Majesty, you should wait a little longer." Gongsun Yang said: "In a war between Qi and Wei, no matter whether you win or lose, you will lose national strength. The soldiers will be exhausted after a long battle. When we send troops again, Wei will definitely not be able to resist. .”

"Taking advantage of Wei's exhaustion after the war, he quickly captured the land of Hexi, and then established a defense line relying on the Yellow River. At that time, Wei Guo would never want to capture the land of Hexi again."

"As long as the land of Hexi is occupied, Wei will lose a lot of fertile land, and the national strength will decline rapidly. At that time, we only need to recuperate for a few years. Whether we go north to capture Shangjun, or continue to attack Hangu Pass, we will all get what we need!"

Since the separation of the Jin Dynasty, the wars among the countries have become more frequent. It can be said that various covenants are formed today and torn up tomorrow. The same is true for the covenants of Qin and Qi.

This time, Qin State completely let Qi State block the gun, and he hid behind to take advantage of it.

After listening to Gongsun Yang's explanation, Qin Hou immediately agreed to postpone sending troops, and planned to wait until Wei was exhausted from continuous fighting before suddenly sending troops to attack Wei.

After fighting Wei Guo for a while, Qi Guo discovered that the Qin people had no intention of sending troops at all, which made Qi Guo furious.

"Your Majesty, the Qin State is planning to wait until the victory between Qi State and Wei State is decided, and then take advantage of the opportunity!" Lu Ji's face was a little ugly.Qi Guo, who was originally planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, suddenly found that he had become a tiger being watched by the crowd.
