Chapter 483: The retreat left for Wei Jiu [Please subscribe*Please vote]

Why was Wang Ben able to conquer Daliang, the largest imperial city in the world that took 21 years to build? It was not because Daliang was flooded. As long as the Wei State had a powerful navy and occupied the Yellow River, it would be extremely difficult for the Qin army to invade Daliang. Disaster.

In other words, as long as the Yellow River is still in the hands of Wei, it will be difficult for the Qin army to threaten Daliang.

Of course, if Zhao Guo cannot hold it, then there will be no point in guarding the natural dangers of the Yellow River.

However, the State of Zhao also fell. Under the attack of Han and Wei, the State of Wei was unable to support itself. No matter how hard it struggled, it was in vain.

This reply only made the Qin army not dare to take action against Wei immediately after occupying South Korea.

Although Yan Yan, who was familiar with history, knew that Qin's next step after occupying South Korea was to attack Zhao, but if Wei really did nothing, Qin might not attack Wei first.

Especially with the existence of Bingzhou, the Qin State may not think of attacking Zhao at the first time. After all, Bingzhou is too close to the Zhao State, and the threat to the Qin Army is not small.

Soon, Yan Yan's reply was handed into Wei Jiu's hands.

Wei Jiu took a serious look, but felt a little bitter. This was asking Wei to completely abandon the entire north, no longer defend against Zhao's possible attack, and use all its strength to defend the Qin army.

The problem is, after giving up the defense of the north, Wei's second largest city, Yecheng, is also within Zhao's reach. Will Zhao let this opportunity pass?

Once the Wei State withdraws its army from Yecheng, there is no need to think about it. Handan will definitely send troops to capture Yecheng as soon as possible.

This is the tragedy of the Shandong princes. They all know that Qin is their biggest enemy, but they cannot work together. Instead, they are still afraid of and targeting each other.

Wei Jiu did not report to King Wei and Lord An Guo, but directly called Lord Xinling's old troops, a total of 30,000 people, in the name of Lord Xinling's Mansion, and went straight to Chenggao.

"I'll do my best!" Wei Jiu sighed deeply, then stood up with a determined look, "Here comes, wear armor!"

It is impossible for Handan to let go of the second largest city in Wei after Daliang, this extremely wealthy city.

It was difficult to travel due to the heavy snow, but in less than a month, Wei Jiu led his army to capture all the Korean cities above the Yingshui River and completely blockaded the Yingshui River.

They didn't know why Wei Jiu resolutely invaded their ally South Korea when the road was blocked by heavy snow. But since Wei Jiu could take the lead and stand at the forefront of the battlefield, what did they have to fear?

Therefore, there was no need to submit a memorial at all. Wei Jiu himself knew that it was impossible for Wei State to pass this resolution.

Even though the road was blocked by heavy snow, Wei Jiu led his army westward regardless of the cold wind and snow.

Mrs. Wei Jiu was a little surprised. She had never seen Wei Jiu on the battlefield, but she still brought Lord Xinling's old armor and put it on Wei Jiu.

He has studied the art of war, but has never actually commanded an army. However, he has learned one thing from Lord Xinling, which is to lead by example, and the central army's banner always stands at the forefront. He does not take command, but gives all command rights to The generals in the army themselves stood firmly under the banner.

"You have the posture of your youth!" Lord Xinling's old subordinates were also surprised by Wei Jiu's actions, but they were extremely shocked in their hearts.

The Koreans did not expect that their allies would suddenly send troops against them, so they were caught off guard. By the time they reacted, the city gate had already been lost.

In the Wei Kingdom, King Wu of Wei, Lord Anling and Queen Mother Leling did not expect that Wei Jiu would suddenly send troops, so they mobilized the army privately.

"Let him go!" Wei Wangwu thought for a long time. Although he didn't understand what Wei Jiu was going to do, he still decided to give him the trust of a brother. Perhaps Uncle Wang had left some legacy before he passed away?

Lord Anling also did not send anyone to chase Wei Jiu back. He knew better and knew even more clearly that Wei Jiu wanted to imitate his father, Lord Xinling, to take the lead and fight bravely to be the first.

Being able to have such an awareness, isn't that much more useful than those young men who are just eating and waiting to die in Daliang?
But no one expected that even when the road was blocked by heavy snow, Wei Jiu, a young man who had never been on the battlefield, could actually attack five cities in half a month and completely occupy the cities in the Yellow River section outside Daliang. .

"Your Majesty, a secret letter from the north!" The old man from Lord Xinling's old army once again handed a secret letter into Wei Jiu's hands in Chenggao.

Wei Jiu was stunned for a moment and looked at the veteran.

"Bingjun actually handed over a secret letter to the old servant before he went on the expedition. The letter stated that if the Wei State did not send troops to occupy Xingshui before the beginning of spring, this letter would be burned. If the Wei State occupied Chenggao, the letter would be burned. I entrust you with this letter." The veteran explained the origin of this secret letter in a low voice.

Wei Jiu smiled mockingly to himself. Sure enough, his adopted brother had thought of everything and had made all the backup arrangements for him. He was glad that he had made such a choice. He should not have disappointed his father and adopted brother, right?
The veteran general did not say that if the Wei State gathered an army to blockade Xingshui, there was no need to hand over this letter.

He also read the letter, but Bingjun didn't say he wasn't allowed to read it.

Bingjun's strategy has surpassed that of the entire Wei State!
Wei Jiu unfolded the letter.

"If Brother Jiu sees this letter, I believe that the Wei State will still be unable to abandon the Yecheng army and will not block the Yingshui River with all its strength.

With the military strength of the Wei State, it was impossible to take care of both ends, so it was up to Jiu Di to blockade the Yingshui River.

Brother knows that his brother is in difficulty, so he can use all the wealth of the Lord Xinling Mansion to build a dock in Zhongyan, hire boatmen from the Chu State, and supervise the construction of two large ships and ten ships, train nine thousand troops, patrol the Yellow River, and blockade the Yellow River. purpose.

......"

Wei Jiu's eyes were red. He didn't expect that Yan Yan had made such an arrangement for him. Even the Chu boatmen he hired and the Chu generals who helped train the navy had already been found. He even only needed to follow what Yan Yan said in the letter and leave. With all the family wealth, one can build a navy strong enough to blockade Chenggao to Zhongmou.

The troops he has are unable to defend all the cities in this section of the Yellow River, but as long as the navy is completed, their mobility will be faster than the cavalry.

The mobility is fast enough. Even if they don't have enough troops, they can use their navy to mobilize the troops from other cities to the city attacked by the Qin army when the Qin army attacks the city. And relying on the huge ships and ships, they can even It was difficult for the Qin army to cross the river and attack the city.

"This move may not save Wei, but it can preserve the Xinling Lord's family lineage!" Yan Yan said at the end of the letter.

If the Qin army wants to conquer Daliang, it must fight with this navy. Once they fight, the Qin army will know how powerful the navy is, and will give up the idea of ​​forcibly crossing the Yellow River to attack Daliang.

If they give up crossing the Yellow River, Qin will still have a way to conquer Daliang, but the Xinling Lord's Mansion will also be preserved because of the existence of this navy.

Qin's inherent strategy of warfare is that what cannot be defeated on the battlefield will be obtained outside the battlefield.

If Wei Jiu, who occupies the Yellow River world, cannot be eaten, their first choice is to persuade him to surrender. If the attempt to surrender is ineffective, they will find another way to destroy Wei first and make Wei Jiu a lonely ghost. Finally, they will come to persuade him to surrender.

In this way, even if the country falls, the Qin State will pay attention to people like Wei Jiu and give them absolute respect and status, instead of moving to northwest Longxi and being placed under house arrest like other nobles.

At this point, Yan Yan was convinced that Ying Zheng had such a big heart and would not treat Wei Jiu badly.
