Chapter 39 Conspiracy

Outside the palace, there was still a chaos of shouting and laughter. Dozens of armored officers were lined up around Wang Zhu. Wang Ao, Li Zuoche, Yuan Sheng and others were all present. There were tens of thousands of Qin soldiers outside the palace. I was afraid that something unpredictable would happen.

misfortune.

"Your Majesty, please immediately issue an order to stop the burning and killing!" Guan Ying and Zhou Bo rushed in from outside with two masses of blood mist. As soon as they saw Wang Zhu, they knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, your commander-in-chief rules the world, and you must not kill innocent people indiscriminately.

, chilled the hearts of people all over the world!"

Wang Zhu thought to himself that the soldiers had almost plundered it now, and they could not find a few taels of gold if they continued, so he just happened to go down the slope to give Guanying Zhou Bo some face.

"Who gave the order for soldiers to rob? Didn't I repeatedly emphasize the need to treat the people well?"

Wang Ling stepped on the bluestone floor and walked forcefully. He happened to hear Wang Zhu's words and said confidently: "Your Majesty, no one is robbing the people anymore. This is Wei Bao's ill-gotten wealth. He can also be regarded as a common people."

?! Your Majesty, you only said you wouldn’t rob the people, but you didn’t say you wouldn’t rob the palace. That’s why the brothers took action.”

Wang Zhu patted his forehead: "This time it's all my fault for not making it clear. Don't let this happen next time. Tell them to stop!"

Wang Ling thought to himself, just stop. Anyway, everyone was tired from playing and just looking for a place to sleep. He turned around and went out to deliver the order. Guan Ying and Zhou Bo looked at each other and said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!"

Wang Zhu magnanimously helped the two of them up, pretending to be serious and said: "The capital of Guizhou in the world is the people of the people. The people in the Guanzhong will be loved by the people, and the people outside the Guan will be loved by the people. All these are

This is what I should do, no need to thank me." Guan Ying and Zhou Bo were deeply touched. They really couldn't believe the rumors. Qin II turned out to be such a sage, and the people of the world had hope.

After a day and night of suppression, Wei's remnants of defeated troops were basically wiped out, with a small number remaining surrendering. Basically, those who met Wang Ling and Chen Xi had their heads removed. If you were lucky, you could pick up one when you met Guan Ying and Zhou Bo.

life.

The next day, Wang Zhu fulfilled his promise and granted Pingyang City to Zhou Bo as a fiefdom and the title of Marquis of Pingyang; Feng Jing was granted the title of Marquis of Xiayang, Li Zuoche was granted the title of Marquis of Wanhu, and Wang Ling was granted the title of Marquis of Huaili! Chen Xi and others

Each was rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold. Of course, the money was all taken from Wei Bao's palace. After the soldiers completed the robbery, they had to pay tribute, and Wang Zhu wanted to take a certain percentage of commission. He would not look at the money.

Give rewards to your subordinates conveniently.

Obtaining Pingyang was only the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. Wang Zhu's real target was Wei Bao and his hundreds of thousands of Wei elites. Wang Zhu was now thinking about how to lure Wei Bao into a trap.

"Your Majesty, it's not good. Anyi has been lost. The Qin army is besieging Pingyang. General Uncle Zhou can't stand it any longer -" Feng Jing fell at Wei Bao's feet with a thud.

When Wei Bao first heard that Feng Jing was coming, he didn't know what it meant. He thought he was here to congratulate him on his victory, so he met the senior general with Bo Ji in his arms. As soon as he heard that the Qin army had captured Anyi, Pingyang was about to be lost.

He was so frightened that he almost threw Bo Ji out of the tent.

"Are you kidding? The Qin army came out of nowhere. How is this possible? The second Qin Dynasty was a coward and as timid as a mouse. When he heard the name of the widow, he was so scared that he wet his pants. He dared to invade my land and ate the courage of an ambitious leopard.

Come on!" As soon as Wei Bao hurriedly uttered the vulgar words, everyone stopped talking and directly called himself Lao Tzu.

"He still owes me a f*cking favor!" Wei Bao glared at Feng Jing angrily, like a lion staring at a frightening little beast that might be swallowed by him at any time.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to discuss debts. Let's try to save Pingyang first!" Feng Jing was sweating in his heart. Wei Bao was stupid enough. He also believed in the blank check issued by King Qin. It seems that this boy is better than

Uncle Zhou is very easy to deceive.

"I ask you, has the Qin army really arrived in Pingyang? With how many troops there are, how many days can Uncle Zhou hold on?"

Feng Jing was so unjust that he almost cried to death: "Your Majesty, what are you saying? No matter how brave the general is, he would not dare to joke about this kind of thing. He would come to you and lie about the military situation! The Qin army has almost 40,000 to 50,000 men.

We have indeed arrived at Pingyang City. General Uncle Zhou was afraid that he would lose the capital if he could not resist, so he asked the late general to invite the king to lead his troops."

"Ah, forty or fifty thousand people -" Wei Bao's frozen face melted instantly, and he regained his confident sneer: "It turned out that there were only forty or fifty thousand people. Damn Ying Hu Hai, for ruining my good deeds, I must let him go this time."

He can't eat and has to walk around." He shouted to the soldiers outside: "Pass on Huang Xin, Wu Pu is here to see me!"

Huang Xin and Wu Pu were the marshals on Wei Bao's left and right sides during this expedition. These two men had been serving in the army since Wei Jiu and had made many military exploits and were very trusted.

Huang Xin was eight feet tall, with a strong back and a strong waist, and a dark complexion. He could eat a bushel of rice in one meal. He looked like an iron tower when he stood there, which was intimidating.

Wu Pu was a little older than Huang Xin, with a black beard. His face and hands exposed outside the armor were full of bones, the veins on his temples were jumping, and his small eyes were shining. You could tell at a glance that he was a man.

A ruthless character. This man had gone to school, was literate, and was a man of both civil and military skills. Wei Bao made him a 'apprentice' of the Wei state.

Wei Bao said fiercely, "Tell all the soldiers to return to Pingyang overnight!"

Huang Xin was puzzled: "Your Majesty, Suiyang is about to be taken down. How can we return to the master in such a safe way?" When he came in, he was already very surprised to see Feng Jing here. After hearing Wei Bao's words, he was even more moved by Zhang Er.

Mindless.

Wu Pu also asked, "Did something happen? Did something happen in Pingyang?" The second half of the sentence was about Feng Jing. Feng Jing was still kneeling on the ground, and Wei Bao said anxiously, "Get up quickly and tell the story."

Say it to them again!”

Feng Jing stood up and repeated the words that Uncle Zhou could not resist when the Qin army besieged Pingyang!

"The King of Qin is really nothing. He still owes me a debt of gratitude. When I see him, I will definitely ask him!" Wei Bao still couldn't forget that debt of gratitude.

Wu Pu was very sad in his heart, and said to himself, if it weren't for your debt of gratitude, maybe the Qin army would not dare to attack Pingyang, and it would be your own fault!

"I will reorganize the troops and horses, fight back to Pingyang, and kill all the Qin troops!" Huang Xin was furious. It's no wonder that in the past few days, Wei's troops and horses were invincible. Henan was pacified, and Hanoi was like a broken bamboo. Shen

Yang and Sima Yi were both no match for the Wei army, so they cowered and did not dare to show their heads.

Feng Jing took the opportunity to stand aside and said: "When General Huang Xin arrives, he will definitely kill every piece of the Qin army and avenge those soldiers who died! Brothers, the death is too tragic!"

Wei Bao became more and more angry as he listened: "The people of Qin are really nothing. They have no faith at all. They don't keep their word. They repay kindness with enmity, which ruins my life."

Wu Pu smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, everyone in the Qin State knows that they are not the East and the West. They are originally a country of tigers and wolves." Wei Bao showed arrogance on his face. He didn't like to hear such words the most. What does this mean? It is clearly an accusation.

Shouldn't I be seeking skin from a tiger? Then why didn't you say anything at the time? Now that you know it's an afterthought, isn't this making it impossible for me to step down?

"General Wu Pu, what do you mean by this? Are you blaming me?" Wei Bao's eyes flashed sharply, like the light of a sword, and Wu Pu suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He said in a panic, "No, General

How dare you accuse the king? The general just thought of a clever plan and wanted to tell it to the king."

"Tell me about it!" His tone was still cold, and he was obviously still angry.

"Your Majesty, you just said that the King of Qin ruined your important event. You just meant that Qin delayed your attack on Suiyang. In fact, this is also easy. The Qin army only has 40,000 to 50,000 people. If our army can cooperate internally and externally, we can attack him outside Pingyang City.

Defeat them, and then we can take advantage of the momentum to cross the Yellow River and invade Guanzhong to capture Xianyang. Wouldn't it be much better than capturing Suiyang?"

Wu Pu was so anxious that he made some random remarks to resolve the embarrassment, but he didn't expect that it was in line with Wei Bao's thoughts, and he suddenly lost all his anger.

"Okay, not bad! It's really good. Go quickly, you two go and reorganize the troops. Our army will cross the Yellow River overnight and head for Pingyang."

Wu Pu thought that it was too dangerous to cross the river overnight. He originally wanted to persuade Wei Bao, but when he thought of the misunderstanding just now, it would be better to say less. When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.

Tens of thousands of torches illuminate the several kilometers of the Yellow River red, making the water of the Yellow River seem like constantly surging magma.

Suiyang City and Anyi face each other across the Yellow River, with a straight-line distance of 400 miles. If it is flat land, the cavalry will definitely be able to arrive in a day and night. But first the army must pass through the Yellow River, which is in flood season, and then cross the Taihang Mountains

Jiguan natural moat. The road is difficult and takes a lot of time.

It took more than ten hours just to cross the river.

The soldiers stayed up all night, and Wei Bao, who was eager to win, forced them to march quickly up the mountains and ridges to pass Jiguan. The soldiers were miserable, but he ignored them. He just thought about how to defeat the Qin army and how to enter the Guanzhong! Wu Pu

One sentence can be regarded as causing great trouble.

If the soldiers knew it was his bad idea, they would have to chop him up.

Wei Bing, who had not slept for a day and two nights, finally arrived at Anyi early in the morning on the third day. He thought he could take a rest, but Feng Jing came out again and offered a good idea!

"Your Majesty, your troops are very fast. The Qin army is currently besieging the city of Pingyang. They have no idea that our army has returned. Sun Tzu's Art of War says: 'If you don't take the city, don't attack the land.' Your Majesty, you should lead your army to Pingyang and give it to the Qin army."

The main force was caught off guard, so why bother coveting such petty profits as Anyi!"

"Come on, send the order, bypass Anyi, and go straight to Pingyang!" Wei Bao staggered on his horse tiredly: "Set up camp a hundred miles ahead and prepare for a decisive battle!"

If we advance another hundred miles, we will only be 150 miles away from Pingyang. This distance should have been very dangerous in the age of cavalry. Especially, this 150 miles is an open area with no danger to defend.

"Send someone to deliver a message to Uncle Zhou in the city, asking him to prepare for internal and external cooperation. Who will go?" Wei Bao was so weak that he could fall asleep even sitting down. He also knew that he could not fight in this state: "The day after tomorrow, we will raid the Qin army's camp at night.

how?"

Huang Xin and Feng Jing jumped up at the same time.

"Your Majesty, think twice!"

"Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

Feng Jing pretended to be surprised and said, "If your Majesty does this, all the victories will be in vain. Our army will never even think of entering Guanzhong in this life!"

Wei Bao rolled his eyelids, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes; "Is it that serious?"

"Of course!" Feng Jing said alarmingly: "Your Majesty, think about it. Our army has traveled thousands of miles to return to the army. It is difficult to guarantee that we can hide it from the enemy. We have to rest for two days when we get to the city. Even if the enemy is deaf or blind,

Once they smell the scent of our army, the Qin army will be fully prepared and will not be able to achieve the effect of a surprise attack. The outcome is yet to be determined."

Huang Xin has no conspiracy, he is just reckless and only wants to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds!

"Your Majesty, what Lao Feng said is quite right. This battle cannot be this big. People say that soldiers are valuable and quick. It is better to let the soldiers rest for a day and attack the Qin camp tonight. Even if the Qin army knows that our army has returned to the army, they must think that we dare not stay overnight.

The attack is bound to fail."

Wu Pu spoke again: "You can't say that. You only consider the importance of soldiers and their speed. Why don't you think about 'a tired army will be defeated'? Now the soldiers are tired. If they fight the Qin army, their combat effectiveness will definitely be reduced sharply.

You will suffer a big loss."

"General Wu's words are different." Feng Jing said sternly; "Our soldiers are indeed very tired, but the Qin army is not easy either. They have suffered heavy casualties in the attack on the city for several days and their morale is low. If troops are sent out from both inside and outside the city to attack from both sides, the Qin army will definitely

They collapsed without a fight, trampled on each other, and fled for their lives. What kind of super fighting power are there to be used by the soldiers?"

"The biggest fear is not being able to contact the city!" Wu Pu always felt that doing so was too risky and inappropriate.

Feng Jing smiled and said, "The king and the two generals can rest assured about this. Before the general left, more than a dozen soldiers had been ambushed in the Qin camp. These people, wearing Qin army uniforms, could go into the city at night.

Send the message. I will go there personally, and the king and the two generals are here to wait for the good news."

"General Feng is really thoughtful. I rely on the general for all important matters!" Wei Bao happily came over and shook hands with Feng Jing intimately.

Feng Jing returned to the Qin camp and met with Wang Zhu, telling him how Wei Bao had been deceived. Wang Zhu immediately made a plan with the generals. The army was divided into six groups, two groups to attack Wei Bao's stronghold, two groups outside and three groups.

Fight out from three sides, southeast, north and south, trapping Wei Bao, Huang Xin and Wu Pu. The remaining ones guard Pingyang City!

After everything was arranged, Feng Jing returned to Wei Bao's camp and only said: "Everything has been arranged. At midnight tonight, a fire is ordered on the city, and the two armies will rush out together, attack from the front and back, and capture the King of Qin alive."

Wu Pu suddenly asked, "Where is General Uncle Zhou's letter?" Feng Jing was stunned. "Because I was afraid of being caught midway and exposing my plan, the letter has been burned. I only use my brain to remember it."

Wu Pu's body trembled slightly, but he soon regained his composure and nodded, but there was still a glimmer of doubt in his eyes.

Idiot Wei Bao, no doubt he was very happy, but he was also thinking about the favor Wang Zhu owed him!
