Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Hou Sheng said: "The king of Wei has just sent an urgent messenger, and he wants to ask the king to order General Kuangliang to go south immediately to support the main force of the Wei state. The king of Wei said that as long as the king is willing to support the state of Wei, then the state of Wei can fight in the war. Later, [-]% of the land occupied by Wei State will be given to the king."

"Going south to support?" Qi Wangjian frowned slightly, and then said to Hou Sheng: "So, the situation in Wei should be more tense now?"

"It's more than nervous, Your Majesty." Hou Sheng smiled wryly, and said, "Now that Wei State is being attacked by Zhao State and Chu State, it may fail anytime and anywhere!"

"What?" Qi Wang Jian was taken aback when he heard what Hou Sheng said.

Because Qi Wangjian didn't like being disturbed by messengers reporting urgent military situations in the middle of the night or when he was having fun, all battle reports were first reported to Housheng, and then Housheng reported to Qi Wangjian.

Since most of the post-victory reports were about the battle situation of his own army, Qi Wangjian really didn't know that the situation of Wei State was so dangerous.

After pondering for a while, Qi Wangjian said slowly, "Since the King of Wei has already come to ask for it, it is naturally difficult for the widow to refuse. Otherwise, if Wei Guo fails, it will be difficult for the widow to deal with."

After a pause, Qi Wangjian made up his mind, and said to Hou Sheng: "Then pass the order to Kuang Liang, let him go south as soon as possible to support the Wei people!"

Hou Sheng nodded, without talking nonsense, he stood up and said goodbye: "In this case, then I will send the order now."

Due to the war situation in the Yan Kingdom, Hou Sheng really didn't dare to stay in this hall anymore, so it's better to leave early.

As long as Qi Wangjian forgets these things in two days, then everything will be fine.

After Qi Wangjian watched Hou Sheng leave, the expression on his whole face relaxed a lot. He stood up from his seat and stretched, and began to think in his heart: "Since there is nothing to do, then go find Ladies, let's play around. Which lady is better to go to? By the way, a few days ago, Madam Zhu said that she recently asked the maids in her palace to practice a new dance. Why don't you go to Madam Zhu now? Check it out."

Qi Wangjian had made up his mind, and was about to go and have a good time with his wives, when he suddenly saw Hou Sheng and came back with a pale expression on his face.

"My lord, the Wei army has been defeated!"

Chapter 7: News of Victory and Li Mu's Crisis (Second Update)

"Wei army defeated?" For a moment, Zhao Dan almost thought that what he heard was fake news.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhao Sheng said excitedly, "General Pang Nuan has broken through the defense line of the Wei army. The Wei State has been defeated and at least 3 people have been captured. Now the Wei army has withdrawn to Taoyi!"

After Zhao Sheng finished speaking, Zhao Dan suddenly felt his body relax, and let out a long breath of foul air.

Things in this world, when you think about it, it just doesn't come true, but when you don't have so much hope, it will suddenly pop up to surprise you.

In front of Zhao Dan, several ministers of the Zhao Kingdom were also rejoicing, even Yu Xin who was not on the same side as Pang Nuan was no exception.

This is not just Pang Nuan's victory, but Zhao Guo's victory!

Zhao Dan suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked Zhao Sheng: "What is Pang Qing going to do next?"

Zhao Sheng replied: "General Pang Nuan is going to repair on the spot for a day, and then return to the division to rescue Liaocheng!"

Zhao Dan froze for a moment, then said, "Aren't you going to attack Wei?"

You must know that according to the original plan, if Pang Nuan defeated the Wei army, then he should continue to attack the capital of Wei State and force King Wei to cede the land to seek peace.

Zhao Shengdao: "According to General Pang Nuan's reply, if Liaocheng is occupied, his retreat may be cut off by the Qi people, so General Pang Nuan plans to defeat the Qi people first, and then turn back to deal with Wei!"

After a pause, Zhao Sheng said again: "Of course, all this depends on the king's decision."

Zhao Dan pondered for a while, then said: "What do you think?"

Regarding Pang Nuan's desire to continue returning to the teacher, the ministers of the two factions did not express any objection.

For Zhao Sheng's side, of course, he will not dismantle his allies, and Yu Xin also hopes to rescue Lian Po from the predicament through Pang Nuan's return to the teacher. You know, Lian Po has also been killed by Qi people. Surrounded for several days.

Seeing that all the ministers had no objections, Zhao Dan made a decisive decision: "In this case, let Pang Qing lead the army back to help, and clean up the Qi people first!"

While the main hall of Dragon Terrace in Handan was full of joy, Zhao Dan didn't know that his beloved General Li Mu was in trouble thousands of miles away in Guanzhong.

"Still no one?" Although he had clearly heard the report from the scout captain in front of him, Li Mu couldn't help asking again.

The answer he got this time still didn't surprise Li Mu: "Return to the general, my subordinates have swept all six villages within a radius of [-] miles, and there is no one in them."

Li Mu pondered for a moment, then waved to the scout captain in front of him: "Thank you, let's go down."

After the scout captain stepped back, Li Mu's face gradually became gloomy.

It has been a month since Li Mu entered Guanzhong.

During this month, Li Mu also adhered to the previous "two light" policy, looting and burning all the places he went, and then driving all the civilians of Qin State inside to nearby cities.

But compared to the previous two trips to the south, Li Mu encountered a lot more troubles when he went south this time.

First of all, the resistance of the Qin people not only did not slow down because of the two failures, but became more resolute, and the casualties of the soldiers under Li Mu also increased a lot because of this.

The second is the problem Li Mu is facing now. The Qin people have obviously realized that they cannot fight the cavalry army led by Li Mu head-on, so after knowing that Li Mu is going south, the Qin people carried out vigorously in the Guanzhong land.

You must know that Li Mu's army went south to eat horse chews and had to solve it by themselves, so supplies were a big problem. It was obviously impossible to satisfy the army for a long time with the rations that they brought with them.

In the previous two trips to Guanzhong, Li Mu mainly relied on "eating from the enemy" to solve the problem, that is, fighting the autumn wind in the territory of the Qin people.

But this time, because the Qin people retreated too resolutely, the autumn wind seemed to be unable to fight.

Yes, Li Mu has already started to run out of food!

Fortunately, although they claim to be strong and clean, many people in the state of Qin are still reluctant to part with the grain in their rice fields. When they dragged their families along the road, they did not follow the order of the Qin government to burn all the grain in the field.

It is precisely because of this that Li Mu's troops have persisted until now, relying on the unripe summer grains in the fields and Li Mu's few harvests.

But as the war continued, the determination of the people of Qin to fortify the wall and clear the country became more and more determined.

From six days ago, the villages discovered by Li Mu's troops were without exception a single person from the Qin Kingdom and not a single grain of rice.

According to the quartermaster's warning to Li Mu, there are at most three days before the army's rations will be in real crisis.

In other words, Li Mu had to find a way to get the rations for the troops within these three days, otherwise he would have to consider withdrawing troops due to lack of food and grass.

This made Li Mu very depressed.

One must know that Li Mu has not even fought a battle of more than 500 people with the people of Qin since he entered the territory of Qin to fight. How can this satisfy the dedicated Li Mu and his Zhao cavalry soldiers? Woolen cloth?

You must know that in order to fight a good battle this time, Li Mu has dispatched [-] elite cavalry from the seven counties in the north of Zhao State to go south, but now the people of Qin State are hiding in the city and acting as turtles. The intention of wanting to fight Li Mu in the wild like the previous two times.

This inevitably made Li Mu feel lost, deeply feeling that all his abilities were useless.But the current situation has become like this, and there is actually no point in complaining any more. We have to find a way to solve it.

Li Mu took out the map and began to examine the situation above, hoping to find a place on the map where he and the [-] cavalry could obtain food and make contributions.

At this time, the troops led by Li Mu were in the vicinity of Chongquan City, that is, east of Guanzhong of Qin State, and closer to Hedong County of Zhao State.

The reason why he chose this place was mainly because Li Mu felt that since he had already breached Xianyang City last time, when he led his troops south this time, the people of Qin would definitely defend Xianyang, and it was impossible for him to get any chance to pose a threat to Xianyang. .

According to Li Mu's judgment, since the Qin people put the main force in Hedong County, and most of the remaining troops gathered in Xianyang, then the eastern part of Guanzhong far away from Xianyang must be empty of troops, which can give Li Mu an opportunity.

It's a pity that Li Mu still miscalculated on this matter. Although he was indeed right, the military strength in the eastern part of Qin State Guanzhong is indeed very empty, but the problem lies in the enthusiasm of the people of Qin State to resist the invaders of Zhao State , It was too high, and the fighting power that broke out was beyond Li Mu's expectation.
