Wei Wuhou

Chapter 750

After Wei Hou's edict, the Central Plains area that had just settled down became turbulent again. The army of Changping Daying came out of the city gate one after another and began to besiege some cities in Chendi.

And the neighboring states of Zheng State and even the Zhou family were full of fear of the mobilization of Wei State's army, so they wiped out the two states of Tang and Xiao. Who is Wei State going to attack?
Zheng Juan and other countries thought they were the ones who were going to be unlucky, so they immediately asked for help from the big country behind them, that is, the Qi country in the east.

But at this time, Qi State had already understood Wei State's strategic intentions, and after appeasing these younger brothers, they watched from the sidelines.

Of course, Qi State was not completely inactive. In Ludi and Yuan County, which was captured by Wei State at the beginning, Qi State's [-] troops were also sharpening their swords, although they were ready to join in.

Although the eldest brother comforted them, the small countries below were still a little uneasy. It wasn't until the people of Wei and Qin got involved that they realized that they were not their opponents.

On the fifth day of June, Wei Jun besieged Xinle City, which was the old capital of Chen State.

In the 18th year of Wei Zhaohou, Wei Wuji won Xinle after leaving Changping Pass, and even drank on the bank of the Ma River, scaring the Zhou people to rush to reward the army.

But because of the domestic turmoil in Wei at that time, Wei Wuji transferred all the Wei troops outside Changping Pass, and let these people follow him into Changping Pass to seize power, so Xinle and other places were picked up by Qin State.

In the following three years or so, Wei State never fought a war with Qin State in the west because of recuperation, so these places have always been under Qin State's occupation.

Therefore, the revisit of the old place of the Wei army now has the meaning of recovering the lost land. After all, this place was once occupied by them.

For Wei Wuji, the good news is that he got a batch of grain and grass from Tang Guo and Xiao Guo, which is enough to cover more than half of Wei Wuji's expenses for sending troops to Chen Di.

The occupied Tang and Xiao countries are now beginning to eliminate the impact of the war and gradually get back on track... Not surprisingly, Tang and Xiao will be able to pay taxes to Wei Wuji's central government next year.

Therefore, Wei Wuji is very confident in starting this war. Even if the battle goes badly, it is enough to return to Changping Pass, and the loss will not be too great.

In Xinle City, the captain of the Qin State stood on the tower with a frosty face, watching the Wei State army gathering more and more under the city, but he was extremely helpless in his heart.

Because of the confrontation with the State of Wei at Minghe, Qin State's East Battalion transferred troops from them, and even the highest commander in Xinle City was actually only him as a captain.

In other words, there are only 3000 defenders in Xinle City, but looking at the size of the Wei army outside, there are more than [-] people!
"My lord, the Wei army is very powerful, please make a decision early!" Said Jun Jun next to him, his so-called early decision is actually to let his boss flee with his subordinates as soon as possible.

Although there are a lot of Wei people here now, they have not yet reached the encirclement of Xinle, and they can still escape if they want to.

Although their captain's troops were infantry, when they were transferred away, they left nearly [-] horses in order to abandon the city when they couldn't beat them.

The captain looked at the army of Wei State in the distance, and the last line of defense in his heart was also defeated by his deputy... Yes, it must be impossible to fight, why didn't he run?

At first, the captain was still thinking about Xiping's reinforcements, but after seeing the increasing number of Wei people's troops, he knew that there must be no hope for Xiping.

"The order..."

When he heard these two words, the soldier next to him felt his heart tighten. He didn't know what order his boss would give.

Then I heard the captain continue to say: "The whole army is assembled, open the west gate and set off...all leave!"

This remark relieved the soldier, and several school lieutenants Sima next to him, as long as they didn't die.

Death is not terrible, but it is meaningless to stick to it like this. No one wants to die without meaning.

Under the persecution of Captain Death, the soldiers of the Qin army moved much faster than usual, and they all assembled in place within a short while.

Under the leadership of Lord Captain, this solitary Qin army stationed in Xinle quietly left their station.

Different from the joy of others escaping, this captain of the state of Qin felt extremely heavy at this moment, because he would be charged with running away, and he would die if he went back.

Seeing the deputy joining the army galloping beside him, the captain said: "Old Zheng, I will entrust you to take care of me in the future!"

This Zheng Canjun thought for a while before he understood what his boss meant. He wanted to say something comforting, but that seemed hypocritical, so he said: "My lord, this subordinate...understands!"

…………

In Xinle City, Wei Jun entered the city peacefully, while the main general Zhang Jun returned to the original handsome hall.

"After four years of separation, I will be back again!" Zhang Jun stood in the lobby, looking at the inside and outside, and said with joy.

He was responsible for defending Xinle at the beginning, and it was he who led the army to abandon Xinle after receiving Wei Wuji's military order, and returned to Changping Pass to help Wei Wuji stabilize the situation.

Perhaps to make up for Zhang Jun's regret, the monarch's decree specifically mentioned that he should take over Xinle, and the remaining [-] troops went straight to Xiping County.

This time, Wei Guo mobilized [-] troops, only [-] of the [-] troops in Xinle City were left behind, and the other [-] troops will immediately leave for Xiping.

Xiping is a city adjacent to the border between Chen State and Qin State, and it will also be a key place to confront Qin State in the future. Naturally, more troops will be stationed there.

…………

The day after Zhang Jun took Xinle, Wang Xiu also led his army to take Xiping, where the Qin army also retreated without a fight.

Bringing a few generals into the city, Wang Xiu felt no joy after the victory, but a little more heaviness.

Because, in the imperial edict of the monarch, he, Wang Xiu, will preside over the affairs of the war, that is to say, he will be the commander of the war.

Although he was at the forefront, Wang Xiu knew very well in his heart that the generals behind him refused to accept him, so his opponents were not limited to Qin people.

At this moment, the three generals following behind Wang Xiu.They are Cavalry General Chen Zhan, Infantry General Zuo Yuanhu, and Infantry General Tieshan.

Needless to say, Chen Zhan was also a person who had followed Wei Wuji for a long time, and Zuo Yuanhu was even the direct descendant of Wei Wuji's direct line... These two were also the most dissatisfied with Wang Xiu.

Tieshan was impartial, he was once Zhaohou's confidant, and the new king did not deprive him of his military power after he succeeded to the throne, mostly because he would not let himself be involved in the power struggle and cause trouble.

Wang Xiu could think of all these things, so Tieshan became the person he tried to win over.

Of course, this does not mean that Wang Xiu will regard the other two as enemies, and if he exposes the conflict to the public, he has already lost.

Wang Xiu could understand the meaning of the monarch, and Chen Zhan and Zuo Yuanhu were his whetstones. If he could handle the situation, the unresolved Changping camp leader would fall on him without accident.

At this moment, Wang Xiu couldn't help but sigh in her heart... Your Majesty!You think highly of Weichen!
But when he thought of Liu Xuanba who had already taken charge of the Xiangping Camp, Wang Xiu suddenly felt a surge of pride in his heart. Why can't others do it when others can do it?

One must know that between him and Liu Xuanba back then, he, Wang Xiu, was more relied on by the prince!
Although the latter two are cronies of the monarch, why not Wang Xiu himself?Not only that, but he was also one of the first group of people who recognized the Lord.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiu couldn't help tightening the hilt of his sword, he was ready to face all challenges!

And behind Wang Xiu, Chen Zhan was also staring at the figure in front of him, who would be his competitor in the next few years.

In the current Changping camp, apart from Zuo Yuanhu who came with him this time, there are also Zhu Xiao and Fang Xuan who are both the king's confidants.

But these people are not his opponents, so he competed for the main opponent of the Changping camp, and the only one who is the oldest one is Wang Xiu.

Now it seems that Wang Xiu is a little ahead, but he, Chen Zhan, is by no means willing to admit defeat, he always wants to fight for himself.

After walking up to the west gate tower of Xiping City, Wang Xiu glanced at the looming Changyuan Mountains in the distance, and said with a heavy voice, "Everyone, Chen Guo is now Wei Di!"
