Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 57 The Return of King Wei
In the former palace of Handan, a soldier ran quickly.Seeing Wei Ying on the throne, she quickly knelt down on the ground and raised the bamboo slips above her head with both hands respectfully: "Report to Your Majesty, Xiangguo has an urgent letter."

An eunuch walked down the steps, took the bamboo slips from the soldiers and handed them to Wei Ying.The bamboo slips were spread out, her brows gradually raised, and Wei Ying sighed for a long time to the next generals standing on both sides.

"What Xiangguo said actually made the father sigh."Wei Ang looked up at Wei Ying who was sitting on the throne on the steps, and quickly bowed to ask.

Looking at the disappointing bamboo slips, Wei Ying lost interest: "This disappointing Hui Shi, only the messenger from the widow's side stepped forward, but when he was good enough, people urged the widow to go back."

"I don't know what reason Xiangguo urged the king to return to the country?"Pang Juan took the opportunity to interject and ask.

Wei Ying glanced at the bamboo slips with some reluctance, and sighed again after a long time: "The state of Qin in the west has finally been beaten by the general, and its vitality has been severely injured. I can't stand it anymore."

"The king and ministers still feel that it is better to maintain the status quo and turn to destroy Qin."Pang Juan couldn't help repeating his proposal again, but unfortunately it didn't seem to work this time.

Wei Ying shook her head: "Destroy Qin? Zhao has already lost Handan. Even if we want to let go, it's too late. It's impossible for the general not to know this."

"Zhao State lost Handan, and most of its wealth, food, and grass were lost. Our army can firmly occupy Handan as long as we station 20 troops. At this time, we are using Handan's wealth, silk, food, and grass to attack Qin..."Pang Juan talked eloquently, just when the Qin State was seriously injured and annexed in one fell swoop, it was a pity that the King of Wei ordered to withdraw troops to attack Zhao State.

Before Pang Juan could finish speaking, Wei Ying interrupted him in displeasure: "The remoteness of Qin is not easy to manage, and it is so comfortable to have Zhao. So let's stop talking about attacking Qin. The general still thinks about attacking Zhao with peace of mind. it is good".

"Follow the order".Pang Juan could only sigh in his heart, and bowed to Wei Ying to accept the order.

The sound of footsteps came, and a soldier ran into the hall quickly, and knelt down in a hurry: "Your Majesty, more than 100 miles away, there is an army under the banner of Zhao Yu, the prince of the Zhao Kingdom, strangling the pursuers we sent out everywhere. ".

"Because Zhao's army gathered the defeated Handan defenders, the army expanded rapidly. The villain initially estimated that there should be no less than 20 people."

"Report to the king and villain to find that a large number of materials were transported from the direction of Xindu to the Zhao army."

"The Zhao army has set up camp and set up a defense line more than 100 miles away, intending to prevent our army from attacking Xindu."

Listening to the reports of the soldiers, the generals above the main hall were shocked.Such a fast speed, within a day and night, the defeated army could be gathered hundreds of miles away, and the defense line could be re-established.Such a skill makes people have to be amazed.The words Zhao Yu, Prince Zhao, were also deeply engraved in their hearts.

Wei Ying looked at the soldiers kneeling on the ground with slightly surprised eyes, and subconsciously asked: "The enemy general is Zhao Yu, Prince Zhao?".

"Report to the king, according to the villain to find out that the main general of the enemy army is Zhao Wang's fourth son, Zhao Wuming."A kneeling soldier hurriedly bowed to answer.

Zhao Wuming, the fourth son of Zhao Kingdom?Pairs of puzzled eyes stared at the soldiers kneeling on the ground.When did Zhao Guo have a fourth son?If I wait for others to do so, I may not know.

"The crown prince of Zhao is known for his benevolence, the second son of Zhao is famous for his good governance and lenient treatment of the people, and the third son of Zhao is praised for his bravery. But this fourth son, forgive me for being dull, I don't know what the fourth son of Zhao Wuming is. Who, what's his past?"

"It shouldn't be someone who can gather 20 defeated troops in one day and night."

"The fourth son of Zhao, how could there be a fourth son?"

"It's unheard of. Could it be that Zhao Wangxue hid an excellent young master?"

"Xue Zang? If it were you, you would freeze it."

Hearing all the discussions, Pang Juan bowed to Wei Ying: "Because of attacking Zhao, I have inquired about Zhao's situation. The fourth son of Zhao is actually just a poor man."

"How can the miserable people gather 20 defeated troops overnight? Is your information wrong, General?"Wei Ying couldn't believe it when she heard the word "miserable", as a young master, how could she be miserable.

Pang Juan carefully recalled the information about Zhao Wuming, and organized words in his mind: "Because this person grew up under the knee of Lord Anyang of Zhao Guo before he was eight years old, so it is not surprising that he can gather 20 defeated troops."

"Since he grew up under Mr. Anyang's knees, why is there such a word as miserable?"Speaking of Anyang Jun, a peerless general, Wei Ying felt hatred, fear, and admiration at the same time.If it weren't for the Anyang Lord who dragged his old body and led the Zhao army to attack the Wei State, how could he live a life like a bereaved dog.

Pang Juan looked at Wei Ying with a complicated expression, and quickly continued to explain: "The fourth son of Zhao Guo, when he was born, his mother was ordered to be executed by King Zhao for some reason. Seeing that he was lonely, Lord Anyang adopted Zhao Wuming on the grounds that he had no children. In the past, Lord Anyang led an army to attack our country Wei, and he died of old age in the army when he returned home. King Zhao was grateful for the achievements of Lord Anyang, and ordered Zhao Wuming to return to the palace. Ten years ago, the Zhao State worshiped the ancestors. Zhao Wuming didn't know why, suddenly Knowing that King Zhao had killed his mother, he lost control of his emotions and yelled at King Zhao. King Zhao was furious, and set aside an area outside Handan City to take away the people. He also ordered Zhao Wuming not to enter Handan for life, and not to leave this place for half a step ".

"Jun Anyang was famous all his life, and he devoted himself to Zhao Guo. Kecheng thought that his successor would fall into such a field."After hearing this, Wei Ying felt a lot of emotion in her heart, Zhao Zhong's ruthless speed is really admirable.

The generals above the main hall were silent for a while, and Pang Juan continued: "According to the information obtained by the minister, Zhao Wuming has become increasingly depressed in the past ten years, but I don't know what, some time ago King Zhao returned from the border between Yan and Zhao, but he seemed to have changed. He looks like a person, and after sweeping away his cowardice in the past, he looks a little more like Lord Anyang. Outside the east gate, in front of Zhao Guo's officials, he confronted King Zhao."

"Zhao Zhong is ruthless and ungrateful, such a tiger doesn't know how to cherish it. It seems that God has destined that this country of Zhao will still belong to our country of Wei after all."Wei Ying sighed, thinking of the prosperity of Wei State in her hands, she suddenly felt a surge of pride.Zhao Zhong treats his own son with such ruthlessness, how can he be undefeated in Zhao Guo.

Hearing Wei Ying praise Zhao Wuming as a tiger, Wei Ang felt a kindness in his heart, and he took a step forward: "Father, my son wants to fight this heir of Lord Anyang in a dignified battle. Look at him Who is better, the fourth son of Zhao Guo or my Wei Guo son Ang?"

"Why do you need your son to take action when you are defeated by mere remnants of soldiers. Zhang Meng, the last general, is willing to lead his troops to defeat this Zhao army."A burly general came out and asked Wei Ying for orders.

Seeing this, Pang Juan hurriedly stopped, looked at Wei Ying and suggested: "Our army has been fighting all day and night, and the soldiers are already exhausted. If we fight at night at this time, I'm afraid it will be disadvantageous to our army."

"Just listen to the general's words and rest tonight. Tomorrow, Ang Er will take the lead and face Zhao Wuming."Thinking of the bloody battle just now, Wei Ying immediately made an order.

Wei Ang was overjoyed, and bowed to Wei Ying: "My son is under orders, and tomorrow I will capture Zhao Wuming and present it to my father."
