Qin Emperor Ziying

Chapter 126 Attacking Wei
Facing the crisis, King Zhao Zheng of Qin sent people to urgently invite Wei Weiliao into the palace to discuss.

Although Wei Liao is from the state of Wei, he is indeed one of Zhao Zheng's most trusted people.Rumor has it that Wei Liao was good at meeting people. When he first saw Zhao Zheng's face when he first served in the state of Qin, he said that the King of Qin's appearance was fierce and vicious.

People with this face are extremely courteous and virtuous when they ask others, but they are extremely cruel when they are offended. If King Qin is really allowed to take over the world, then all living beings in the world will become his slaves, and this person cannot be supplemented.

Afterwards, he escaped from the residence arranged by Zhao Zheng many times, but was repeatedly chased by Zhao Zheng's people.

However, Zhao Zheng not only did not dispose of Wei Liao, but instead believed that Wei Liao had the talent to manage the world, so he awarded him the important position of national lieutenant, and provided Wei Liao with the same standard of clothing and meals as himself.

Although Wei Liao had long understood that Zhao Zheng's move was only because he could provide advice for the great cause of unification, but he was still moved by Zhao Zheng's series of measures and agreed to serve in Qin State.

Over the years, Qin State's large and small military decisions have all involved Wei Liao's figure, which also proves Zhao Zheng's knowledge of people from the side.

After listening to the military report, Wei Liao pondered for a while, and said firmly: "The changes in Han and Wei must be put to rest in the shortest possible time, otherwise changes will happen later!"

Seeing what Wei Liao said was so serious, Zhao Zheng couldn't understand for a while: "Why did Guo Wei say that?"

"The land of Han and Wei is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Since ancient times, it has been the land of the Four Wars, surrounded by wolves. If the king wants to rule the world, he must use it as his forerunner.

The long delay is uncertain, once Qi and Chu send troops, the ten-year war will be vain. "Wei Liao calmly analyzed.

As soon as Zhao Zheng heard it, he immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. Once the Qin State did not suppress the riots caused by the old Korean nobles in the shortest possible time, it would definitely bring a very dangerous threat to the survivors in the occupied area. Signal.

We must know that although Qin State defeated Han Zhao and occupied a large amount of land in Chu, Wei, Yan and other countries, due to the short time, under the influence of the old local aristocratic forces, Qin State still did not rule very effectively. Rebellions happen from time to time.

Once the chain effect is formed, the Qin army does not have to think about unifying the countries in such a short period of time since the flames of war are everywhere. It may take a lot of energy to calm down the domestic turmoil.

At this time, once Qi and Chu jointly send troops to intervene, it is very likely that the lands captured by the Qin State for many years in the South and North Wars will change hands again.

"Let's send a large army to attack him alone!" Zhao Zheng said immediately after wanting to understand this point.

"It's too late!" Wei Liao frowned and said, "Guanzhong is far away from the old Han, and the rebels' whereabouts are strange and unpredictable. If they transfer troops from Xianyang, it may not be effective."

After a pause, Wei Liao continued: "General Wang Ben's subordinates have already conquered more than a dozen cities in Chu State, but Chu State was caught off guard. Now that Chu State's army has already marched to the front line, it is difficult to expand the results of the battle.

The king can order General Wang Ben to go northward to Yingchen, and wait for work to defeat the old Korean rebels. He can also take the opportunity to go northward and capture Wei. "

"Although Wang Ben is brave, but he only has 5 troops under his command, he might be powerless to attack Wei. Why don't we choose another good general to go east to Hangu to meet him?" Zhao Zheng suggested.

"The state of Wei has accumulated a large number of troops on the western border, and it may be difficult to break through for a while, so it will not help!" Wei Liao continued to retort: ​​"Did your majesty forget that our country has a strong army in the east?"

"Could it be that the Guowei is talking about Lord Chang'an?" Zhao Zheng asked, "Why did the Yan Dynasty plan to act like this?"

"Now Yan resides in Liao, and Zhao resides in Dai. This is a place of bitter cold, far away from the Central Plains. Like a wandering soul, I'm afraid I won't be able to sustain it after a long time. For the current plan, it is better to go to Wei first, and Jing next. Chu. The two kingdoms are established, and the Yan Dynasty can rest without effort." Wei Liao analyzed slowly.

Yan State and Dai State are both lands with only one county left, and they are located in remote places. It is indeed a pity to abandon them, and the food is tasteless.If there is nothing else to do, it can be taken, but at such a critical moment, after listening to Wei Liao's suggestion, Zhao Zheng really felt that the gains and losses of the Yan Dynasty were far inferior to the changes in Han and Wei.

Immediately following Wei Liao's suggestion, Bailijia hurriedly ordered people to send them to Ziying and Wang Ben's army respectively.

At the same time, they secretly sent people to Yingchen to execute Han Wangan who was under house arrest here, and sent Changping Lord Xiong Qi to comfort Yingchen.

Yingchen is the former capital of Chu State. Since it was conquered by Qin State, it has not been stable.

Lord Changping, Xiong Qi, was also a person trusted by King Qin and Zhao Zheng. It was Lord Changping and Lord Changwen who worked together to put down the chaos of Lai Ai. Therefore, even though Lord Changping was the son of Chu, he could still hold the position of prime minister in Qin.

And because of his status as the son of Chu, Lord Changping also enjoys a high reputation among the Chu people. In Zhao Zheng's view, if Lord Changping came forward to appease the Chu people, nothing would happen to Ying Chen.

After receiving the king's order from King Qin, although Ziying was unwilling, he still obeyed Xianyang's transfer and marched south.

After all, from Ziying's perspective, it can be seen that the changes in the land of Han and Wei are more important than a Liaodong county.

Since most of Wei's army was stationed on the west side of the border, the east side seemed to be a little careless.

The Qin army led by Ziying broke through the twelve cities of Wei State with a destructive force all the way.There was no decent battle at all, and just a few days after spring passed, they advanced to the city of Daliang, the capital of Wei.

At the same time, the Chu Chu army led by Wang Ben also easily defeated the Xinzheng rebel army, and sent troops northward to join forces with Ziying at the foot of Daliang City.

Two armies surrounded Daliang.

Ever since the Qin army attacked Yan, Wei State has felt a strong sense of crisis. As the only remaining nail in the way of Qin State's eastward advance, everyone in Wei State understands that Wei State will definitely be one of Qin State's primary goals in the next step. one.

Therefore, in recent years, the king of Wei has confiscated a large number of civilians, and has been building Daliang City day by day, digging deep trenches outside the city, repairing military equipment and hoarding food and grass, and making the beams like a tortoise shell, whoever can go up One bite would probably knock out a mouthful of teeth.

Moreover, more than [-] troops of the Wei State were stationed at the western border. When they learned that the capital was besieged, they would definitely return to help. From the estimated distance, it would take only half a month to arrive.

If the main force of the Wei State returned, even if it was able to defeat the Wei army who came back to help, the Qin army would suffer heavy casualties and would be unable to capture Daliang.

Therefore, the time left for Ziying and Wang Ben is only a short half a month, and Daliang City must be captured within half a month, otherwise they will have to retreat all the way.

However, Ziying's act of burning Jicheng cannot be replicated in Daliang. First, after hearing about Jicheng, all countries will inevitably be wary of oil, a new thing.

Second, the reason why Jicheng achieved such an effect is mainly based on the premise that Jicheng introduced water into the city and spread it throughout the city, while Daliang City did not do so according to Ziying's inquiries.
