Chapter 538 Wei cannot rule the world, so why should he make Qi a wedding dress?
"What on earth is Wei Jiu thinking when he refuses to enter the city? He doesn't know that only I, the State of Qi, can save him now!"
Tian Dan, who was protected by a group of personal guards, looked livid and roared in a low voice.
When he learned that the Qin army had conquered Linji, he, the King of Qi, immediately led a personal expedition and led five thousand cavalry on a starry and night journey to aid the Wei state.
Having to eat and sleep in the open all the way, the hard work is not enough to be appreciated by outsiders.
After finally reaching Daliang, he was turned away and not allowed to enter the city. He came to save the life of King Wei!
The hot face pressed against the cold butt, coupled with the stress and fatigue of running all the way, all exploded at this moment.
His eye circles were full of red bloodshot eyes. He didn't know whether he was more angry or more tired. It was scary.
The envoy who was sent to Daliang knelt on the ground, silently bearing the wrath of King Qi.
This matter has something to do with him.
As the envoy of Qi to meet the King of Wei, although he simply conveyed the news that "The King of Qi has arrived, please open the city gate", he did not express himself at all.
But as a person himself, this matter cannot be completely separated from him.
In the same way, this matter does not have much to do with him, so he is not afraid because his king is Tian Dan.
In such a situation, ordinary people would have lost their minds and yelled, but his king still knew how to keep his voice down to avoid causing trouble.
Since the founding of Qi State, no matter how big the bad things happened, his king has always dealt with the situation. He never vented his anger or blamed others, and never acted out of anger. Instead, he provided cover for his ministers many times.
King Tian Dan of Qi was deeply loved and trusted by the people of Qi.
"What do you think Wei Jiu said!"
After venting his anger in a controlled manner, Tian Dan remembered that he had not asked for the reason yet, and he exploded the moment he learned that he was not allowed to enter the city.
"The king of Wei said that if the king wants to save, he must save a country. It is better not to save one person than not to save one person. Xu Wang entered the city and followed the king to Qi. When the king of Qin found out, he would be furious and would vent his anger on the people of Liang.
"The King of Wei is the king of the Kingdom of Wei. He guards the territory of Wei and the people of Wei. Now that most of the territory of Wei has been taken away by Qin, it is no longer possible to hold it. We can no longer protect the people of Wei."
Tian Dan looked at the distant city, grinding his teeth until he chatted.
"That Wei Jiu is really affectionate and righteous! But he looks like a wolf in my field! No wonder the Kingdom of Wei is destroyed. With this king, how can the country not collapse! Go again! If the King of Wei wants to die for his country, he can bring one of his sons back to see me!"
The messenger left in response, his footsteps hurried, and the horsewhip waved out the phantom.
The Qin army has arrived a hundred miles away, and time is urgent now, and no moment can be lost.
"As long as one member of the Wei royal family is alive, Wei will have a chance to recover!"
Tian Dan thought about the information he had received.
The weapon that can carry people to the sky, the wooden kite that can fly across the sky... He clenched his fists.
"Without coordination, there is no vitality!"
It is completely impossible for Qi State to save Wei State under the Qin army of more than 200,000 people, or to fight away from home.
The distance was too far, and a large number of troops rushed over a long distance, and it was very expensive to eat people and chew horses. Even if they arrived, they would only be delivering food. Don't think about confronting the Qin army head-on without a force of two or three times. The Qin army had no opponent in the frontal battlefield.
Now the Qi State's homeland war is in full swing. They are facing the Qin War God Wuchenghou Wang Jian and the former Guo Wei Wei Liao, and their military strength is also stretched thin.
The entire Qi State has a total of only 40,000 to 50,000 capable soldiers. Where did the 4,000,000 to 50,000 troops come from to provide support? If there were 4,500,000, Tian Dan would have wiped out these two old men, Wang Jian and Wei Liao, long ago.
.
It is impossible to rely on Qi alone, but if Chu, Zhang Chu, and Zhao unite, and the four countries share the same enemy and help Wei, then there is still hope for Wei to be saved.
Counting only the Four Kingdoms, it’s not that Tian Dan doesn’t look down on the other countries, it’s that they no longer exist.
Not counting the new force Zhang Chu, it is said that the six kingdoms have risen, and the only ones with real fighting power are the four old kingdoms of Chu, Qi, Zhao, and Wei.
Han Di has never been lost at all and has always been under the control of Baijia. If it weren't for Ying Chengyu's control, Baijia would have let Zhang Chu next to him know why the flowers are so red!
The Yan State, whose generous folk customs are similar to those of the Zhao State, is located in a border county. The Marquis of Tongwu and King Ben hugged the grass and hunted rabbits, and plowed the ground in the early spring. The Qin swords of the 10,000 northeastern frontier troops moved from the outside to the inside, according to the court
Instructions are given to kill all the nobles of the Yan State. The people of Yan in the bitter cold land are very tough, but the nobles of the Yan State who are not in the bitter cold land are not tough at all.
The Yan Kingdom in the border county was destroyed before it could even rise. There was so little movement that Donghu, who was outside the Great Wall, did not notice that the unreasonable and bloodthirsty Qin general on the other side was on an errand.
But Tian Dan didn't even think about the Siguo rescue of Wei.
Tian Dan got the news that Wei needed assistance from people in Chu. He also got the news that Chu would not support Wei in attacking Zhang Chu.
Chu and Zhang Chu fought, and the four kingdoms went directly to the two states.
Zhao and Qi alone could not defeat the 200,000 Qin army.
After the Battle of Changping, the five-nation alliance was necessary to prevent the Qin State from escaping the war.
At this point, I could only wander around outside Hangu Pass, and never entered the pass once.
If the Wei State cannot be rescued, we can only retreat and do the next best thing, save the King of Wei and protect his people and the land.
Five thousand fine cavalry are the main force of Qi State.
Among these five thousand men, three thousand were cavalry trained by the three Tian brothers over the years, while two thousand were newly recruited.
Veterans leading new recruits is the fastest way for new recruits to adapt to the battlefield. This was learned from the Qin Dynasty.
"How long will it take for the Qin army to reach Daliang?"
Zhang Liang, who looked as pretty as a woman, stood behind Tian Dan and asked the soldiers beside him who were in charge of inquiring about the situation.
The soldier bowed slightly and responded in a low voice.
"At the current marching speed of the Qin army, it will take another five hours."
Zhang Liang looked back and glanced into the distance, where the Qin army would appear in at least five hours.
"The ovary is also impatient? This is rare."
Tian Dan laughed, as if the anger just now was all fake.
"Don't be nervous. We have plenty of time. With General Han leading the troops, it is more than enough to retreat unscathed if the attack is insufficient."
Han Xin, who was also in the protective circle of personal guards, responded with a smile and affirmed King Qi's words.
He doesn't like to belittle himself.
He has this ability, why should he deny it? If he were given the same number of soldiers and horses as the Qin army, he would dare to turn around and eat the main force of the Qin army now!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As early as the first meeting with King Qi, he made a wild statement.
"With me, Han Xin, all the generals can serve as my lieutenants!"
This time, 5,000 elite cavalry went deep into the Wei territory without being discovered by the Qin army. In addition to their high combat quality, Han Xin's command was indispensable.
This young general seemed to know the Qin army's movement route, and he could always avoid and avoid them. Recently, Senhan Heijia was less than ten miles away from them.
Their current location is a woodland with few ancient trees sprouting, so they cannot be airtight and completely block the outside view. They need to be covered by the troops commanded by Han Xin to hide temporarily.
"Seven kills, greedy wolf."
Tian Dan patted Han Xin on the shoulder, with joy in his eyes.
"Gan Xing said that since the beginning of history, there has never been a person like you with two fates. No one is your opponent on the battlefield. You, Han Xin, are much stronger than the Han Xin that Zifang is looking for. Without you,
How can I, the State of Qi, stop Wang Jian and Wei Liao?"
Han Xin opened his eyes wide.
"Your Majesty has already said what he said. With or without Han Xin, the State of Qi will be safe and sound. Wang Jian, a teacher is like water without roots, and a clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. I am in the State of Qi and cannot recruit soldiers. All I have learned in my life is the art of slaying dragons.
That’s all, the trapped beast still fights.”
The monarch and his ministers chatted with each other for a while. Just when they had stopped talking, Zhang Liang spoke.
"If the King of Qi disdains my king, I will go elsewhere."
That face that was no longer pale enough to look sick at first glance was full of seriousness.
There are two Han Xin in history.
One is a famous soldier immortal, who was granted the title of King of Qi and was later demoted to the title of Marquis of Huaiyin. He started from Xiao He and died from Xiao He, leaving a mark in the history books.
Under the halo of this warrior immortal, another Han Xin's figure was completely obscured. Han Xin, a descendant of the Korean royal family, was King Xin of Han.
At this time, the King of Han only had a title, which meant that Korea was restored. He had no territory of his own, and the land of Han was occupied by hundreds of families.
King Xin of Han lived in the State of Qi and strongly supported Zhang Liang. With Zhang Liang's matchmaking, South Korea and the State of Qi became allies.
"Don't blame me, I said the wrong thing. Han and Qi have been friends for generations, and they all have the sword of Qin hanging above their heads. Who can look down on the other? Now that the power of Qin is so great, Qi and Han will live together, and they will die if they separate.
.”
It seemed that he had touched on a painful point, and Tian Dan looked worried.
"I thought that the disappearance of Ying Zheng was a sign of Qin's demise, but Ying Chengyu appeared out of nowhere and took control of power in less than half a year. It is really strange that there was no turmoil in Guanzhong."
Zhang Liang's throat felt itchy. Hearing that name and knowing that the person was very close, he couldn't help but want to cough. His old illness seemed to be relapsing.
He tried hard to hold it back, but finally couldn't hold it back. He covered his mouth with his hands and coughed violently. I felt pity for that frown and tears.
"What's wrong? But you're not accustomed to the climate? Or are you making the same old habit again?"
King Qi's expression of concern was so genuine that he wished he was sick.
The state of Qi, which was caught in a war and fighting with Wang Jian, could live without Han Xin, but it could not live without Zhang Liang.
Before Zhang Liang came to join him, the Tian family was also developing and growing, with three thousand disciples each performing their duties. They began to secretly develop in Qi State, where the emperor was far away, and made steady progress step by step.
After Zhang Liang defected, Tian's development changed from walking to flying.
The development direction planned by Zhang Liang allowed the Tian family to move from a one-way development of accumulating grain, grass and weapons, like rats hoarding grain, to a diversified development such as gathering public opinion, going to the countryside to visit talents, and building momentum and reputation.
From a Tian family hidden in Di County to the royal family of Qi State, Zhang Liang contributed a lot. Qi State, which has not experienced war, is not the only descendant of the royal family of the three Tian brothers in Di County.
It was precisely because he had seen Zhang Liang's power that King Qi Tian Dan had no problem with Han Wang Xin being equal to him. Without Zhang Liang, Tian Dan would only regard Han Wang Xin as a puppet and a tool to rally the Korean people.
If he could save King Jiu of Wei this time, he planned to deal with it in this way. He would provide delicious food and drink and advertise it to the world, waiting for the Wei people to surrender.
"The King of Qi has always been curious about why Liang joined Qi."
Zhang Liang took his hand away and looked at it with his eyes, but saw no blood.
Clenching his fists expressionlessly, he turned his head and looked behind him again.
"It's a gift from the current King of Qin."
King Qi sighed softly, as if he had lifted a long-standing burden, and then smiled brightly.
"Gu has known for a long time that the military turmoil in South Korea is so big that it is impossible not to know about it. Gu just wants Zifang to tell it personally to clear Zifang's heart.
"With all the strength of the Wei State, they were unable to fight back against the King of Qin. They were defeated all the way and only Daliang was left. In the situation that Zi Fang was in at that time, it was normal for him to lose at his hands. Soldiers and horses were the last word."
Zhang Liang's face was expressionless, and his pretty face began to turn white at a slow speed that no one could notice.
"To seize it with military force is just an appearance."
King Qi's heart beat fast. He seemed to have touched Zhang Liang's secret. He still smiled like a spring breeze on his face. He raised his hand and gently grabbed it, placing his fist in front of Zhang Liang.
"Oh? Is there a story in this?"
Zhang Liang gently opened the palm of King Qi's hand, and wrote in the palm of King Qi's hand under the eyes of King Qi and Han Xin who looked over his head, speaking as he wrote.
"The human heart."
When you wipe it with your palm, it's like replacing it with a piece of paper.
"public opinion."
King Qi raised his eyebrows. He knew these two words, but he didn't know what Zhang Liang meant when he wrote them down.
Han Xin listened attentively, and his teacher Wei Liao said the word "Ying Chengyu" to him more than once.
"He only used the words 'people's hearts' and 'public opinion' to take Korea away from the good hands, and the good people learned it and used it in Qi."
Zhang Liang said that the clouds were calm and the wind was gentle, but Tian Dan felt a bolt of lightning shoot up from his tailbone, electrifying his whole body. Everywhere in his body was numb, and he suddenly became energetic.
Zhang Liang tightly grasped King Qi's trembling hand.
"Compared with how the current King of Qin manages affairs and controls people, his leadership in fighting is nothing worth mentioning!"
The sound of horse hooves sounds, and the envoy from the second mission to Wei State returns, alone.
"The King of Wei doesn't want to!"
Tian Dan put his hands behind his back, his face turned calm, while his hands behind his back were trembling.
"Why."
"King Wei, King Wei, King Wei said..."
The messenger stammered and could not speak. He knelt on the ground and trembled, with his head lowered much lower than usual.
Tian Dan helped him up, patted the dust on the messenger's sleeves and legs, and said warmly:
"As long as it is what King Wei said, there is no harm in saying it. Mr. Yao is so frightened that he dare not speak out. It is his fault."
The messenger's eyes were red and his face was full of shame, ashamed that he did not believe in his king.
"'The King of Wei said:
"'Wei can't rule the world, so why should we make a wedding dress for Qi? The king of Qin took the land of Wei without harming the people of Wei, but the king of Qi buried the plague corpses in Lanling County and massacred his people.
"'The king of Qin is better to rule the world than the king of Qi. The wedding dress of Wei was given to Qin, and not a single piece of cloth should be missing.'"
He spoke very fast, and when he finished speaking, his face showed hatred, and he was extremely angry that his king had been framed.
"Hahahahaha, don't take it to heart if nothing happens. Wei Qi is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and Wei Jiu doesn't know how to be alone. Is it strange? It doesn't matter!"
Tian Dan laughed heartily, his mouth opened wide, but his laughter was very small.
"We, the Qi Kingdom, came all the way to help, but the King of Wei judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and died..."
The envoy was furious and his voice was uncontrollable. King Qi smiled and raised his index finger to his mouth.
The messenger immediately understood and the tone immediately dropped an octave.
"...It's not a pity!"
Zhang Liang coughed lightly.
"In that case, you should return home as soon as possible, and you should not stay here for a moment."
