"Master Wei Ji, Lord of Lintao? Isn't he in the west (Chenggao Pass)? Why is he here?"
Jiang Bi looked suspiciously at the Lintao Lord Wei Ji who was flying in the distance, and swallowed back the attack slogan he almost shouted.
In fact, today's Jiang Bi is not a general under Lintao Lord Wei Ji, but a branch of the "Tianshui Wei Clan" among the "Twelve Branches of the Longxi Wei Clan", and his status is roughly equivalent to that of a retainer or a family general.
The Lintao Lord Wei Ji is a branch of the "Lintao Wei Family". The two families belong to different families. In the Wei State, it is like the difference between the Yuanyang King and the Chengling King.
However, Lintao Lord Wei Ji and Yao Lord Zhao Sheng were Jiang Bi's benefactors. When Jiang Bi was not yet prosperous, he relied entirely on Wei Ji and Zhao Sheng for their support. Lintao Lord Wei Ji, who had led troops in the war, was promoted in an unusual way.
Jiang Bi, and after the war was won, it was Zhao Sheng, the king of Yao, who convinced the opponents of the Wei clan, so that Jiang Bi, who was despised because of his Qiang ancestry, could finally become a general.
Therefore, Jiang Bi respected Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, and Zhao Sheng, the king of Yao. Even though his status was no longer inferior to those two kings, he still regarded them as his benefactors, and this had been the case for more than ten years.
"Pay attention to the changes in the army on the opposite side."
After giving instructions to the attendants on the left and right, Jiang Bi ordered the chariot driver to slowly go in the direction where Lintao Lord Wei Ji was coming to greet this benefactor whom he always respected.
After a while, Lintao Lord Wei Ji and another knight rode their horses and came to Jiang Bi. They raised their hands and praised him: "Lord Jiang Bi..."
However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Bi who waved his hand and said half-jokingly: "Master Wei Ji, if you are still ashamed of me and drink next time, I will no longer care about our friendship with my benefactor."
Already."
Lintao Lord Wei Ji's expression changed slightly. It was obvious that he was a little panicked about drinking with Jiang Bi. He cupped his hands and said quickly: "Please show mercy."
"Haha." Jiang Bi laughed heartily a few times. Then, he caught a glimpse of the knight beside Lintao Lord Wei Ji, and his eyes showed a little surprise, because if he remembered correctly, the knight beside Wei Ji was the same knight from back then.
When the Longxi Wei clan entered the Zhao clan's Wei state, the Zhao clan's Wei generals who let them in were sealed off at Chenggao Pass and granted the title of Su.
At this time, Lintao Lord Wei Ji also noticed Jiang Bi's eyes sizing up Feng Su, but he did not say anything. Instead, he took a few steps forward on his horse and looked at the Wei army in the distance.
"You really raised an army to attack...that King Su."
Muttering in his heart, Lintao Lord Wei Ji asked in a low voice: "General Feng Su, is the army of His Highness Prince Su opposite?"
After hearing this, Feng Su, the general of the first battalion of the Chenggao Army, nodded, pointed at the Wei Army opposite and said: "Shangshui Army and Yanling Army are the armies under His Royal Highness King Su." As he said this, he said with some emotion.
Guo Guo added: "A pretty mighty military, right? These two armies are elites who have been honed by hard work on the battlefield. They are also the most frequently deployed armies in the past three years. They have experienced dozens of large and small battles so far.
The war..."
Lintao Lord Wei Ji nodded and praised: "It can be seen that it is a strong army." After that, he turned to look at Feng Su, lowered his head and said, "Then, I'll leave it to General Feng Su."
Feng Su may have already communicated with Lintao Lord Wei Ji, so he was not surprised when he heard this. He drove his horse slowly towards Shangshui in the distance.
Glancing at Feng Su's leaving figure, Jiang Bi frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "Master Wei Ji, what are you doing?"
Lintao Lord Wei Ji smiled bitterly and said seriously: "Lord Jiang Bi, I hope you can support me this time."
"..." Jiang Bi looked deeply at Lintao Lord Wei Ji and said nothing.
Seeing this, Lintao Lord Wei Ji lowered his voice and said: "To be honest, Master Jiang Bi, when I came, a foreign cavalry force of 50,000 from the Wei Kingdom of the Zhao family was preparing to attack Chenggao Pass and recapture the pass...
Passing through Xingyang on the way, a Wei army of the Zhao family under the banner of the "Dangshan Army" is also preparing to attack the city. The current situation is very dangerous, and it is very likely that the Wei family and the Zhao family will be at war with each other."
"How courageous is the Zhao family?" Jiang Bi frowned, because according to his understanding, the Wei family in Longxi has more than a little power to intimidate the split family.
Perhaps guessing Jiang Bi's thoughts, Lintao Lord Wei Ji shook his head and said seriously: "Perhaps hundreds of years ago, that was the branch of my Wei family, but now, the Zhao family has established a powerful Wei family in the Central Plains.
The country, they, are no longer a branch of my Wei family... As for whether they dare or not, haven't the troops on the opposite side already explained the problem? "
"..." Jiang Bi glanced at Lintao Lord Wei Ji with some surprise, and asked with a smile: "What does Lord Wei Ji want me to do?"
"Surrender." Lintao Lord Wei Ji said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Jiang Bi's complexion changed slightly and seemed a little gloomy.
Fortunately, the person who said this was his benefactor, Lintao Jun Wei Ji, otherwise Jiang Bi would have turned against him long ago.
You must know that Jiang Bi was recruited into the slave soldiers in Longxi when he was more than ten years old. In his half-life military career, he has never flinched from battle. Whether it is his title or the respect of the people of Longxi, it is all based on his
he
With the long sword in his hand, he fought with swords and spears. He took the lead many times and was on the verge of death many times. He refused to retreat even to the death. He won victory after victory for Longxi and won the respect of the Wei family in Longxi.
But now, someone actually wants him to surrender without a fight?
Even though the person who said this was his benefactor, Lintao Jun Wei Ji, Jiang Bi felt a little unhappy in his heart.
After thinking about it, Jiang Bi chuckled and said, "Surrendering without a fight would be a bit of a headache..."
Lintao Lord Wei Ji felt that Jiang Bi's laughter was not as hearty as before, and knowing that he was unhappy, he cupped his hands and saluted solemnly: "Please put the overall situation first... please!"
"..." Seeing Lintao Lord Wei Ji being so solemn, Jiang Bi hesitated and asked, "What is Lord Wei Ji worried about?"
Lintao Lord Wei Ji thought for a moment and said in a low voice: "Sir Jiang Bi, King Su gathered more than 100,000 troops within seven days. However, this was not all that King Su had.
The strength of the troops... in Sanchuan where we once passed
In the county, there are hundreds of thousands of Sanchuan Rong people who are willing to fight for this person, while the Zhao family and the Wei Kingdom invested more than 100,000 and 200,000 troops in the northern land to go to war with South Korea, a powerful country in the northern Central Plains... This means
What are you talking about, does Lord Jiang Bi understand?"
Jiang Bi frowned, of course he understood what Lintao Lord Wei Ji meant by his words.
This means that if the Zhao family and the Wei State really had any ill intentions towards them, they could easily be destroyed.
It is undeniable that the Wei clan in Longxi still has tens of thousands of troops, but these tens of thousands of troops are nothing in front of the Zhao clan's Wei state. The son of the Zhao clan's leader can raise more than 100,000 troops within seven days.
, let alone the leader of the Zhao family?
"...The difference in military strength does not mean victory or defeat." Jiang Bi said sternly.
After hearing this, the bitter smile on Lintao Lord Wei Ji's face became even thicker.
He said in his heart: Yes, the difference in military strength does not mean victory or defeat, but the problem is that the weapons and equipment of the Zhao family's Wei army are better than those of the Longxi Wei army. They even have extremely terrifying repeated crossbows.
.
Lintao Lord Wei Ji couldn't help but take a look at Jiang Bi's armor. It was a piece of fine bronze armor that was not inferior to the fine bronze armor that Wei Ji had collected. But the problem was that the fine bronze armor that Wei Ji had loved for several years was no longer in use.
Chenggao Pass was just a volley from a repeating crossbow, and it was instantly blasted and turned into fragments on the ground.
"Jiang Bi, the war in the Central Plains can no longer be won by the bravery of generals... In the face of that terrible repeated crossbow, even a hero like you only needs one crossbow bolt..."
Lintao Lord Wei Ji pursed his lips, but did not say these words after all.
He just felt that the Wei clan in Longxi had been left too far behind by the Central Plains. Maybe in Longxi, strong generals could change the outcome of a war, but in the Central Plains, the era of strong generals who personally charged into battle was long over.
Already.
This made Lintao Lord Wei Ji feel inexplicably sad, and it also gave him another idea: Although the Wei family in Longxi has fallen far behind the Central Plains, what about the Qin State? Can the power of the Zhao family and the Wei State be used to contain Qin?
The tiger coming out of the country?
Therefore, he eagerly hopes that the Wei family and the Zhao family can reach a tacit understanding, because in his opinion, the Wei family and the Zhao family are from the same branch and should not become enemies. The common enemy of both parties is the Qin State, which is rapidly expanding externally!
Suddenly, Lintao Lord Wei Ji's eyes turned slightly, because he saw Feng Su, the general of the Chenggao Army, with whom he had become very close in the past few days, waving to him from a distance.
"I'm going to see that King Su."
After saying something to Jiang Bi, Lintao Lord Wei Ji shook the reins with both hands.
"Wait!" Jiang Bi shouted in a deep voice.
Lintao Lord Wei Ji turned around in surprise and was about to speak when he saw Jiang Bi pointing to the chariot he was riding in and said with a smile: "Your majesty, Lintao Lord Wei Ji, is going alone. It's really pitiful, so let me
Drive for your benefactor."
Lintao Lord Wei Ji smiled in surprise. Of course he understood what this meant.
"You can go back to the city later."
After General Lintao Jun Wei Ji got on the chariot, Jiang Bi ordered the generals on the left and right, then drove the chariot slowly towards the Zhao family's Wei army on the opposite side.
It has to be said that even the generals of Shang Shui Army and Yanling Army secretly applauded Wei Ji and Jiang Bi for their courage in driving a chariot into the midst of 50,000 enemy troops.
As a result, the front and middle soldiers of Yanling Army and Shangshui Army dispersed to the left and right to make way for Wei Ji and Jiang Bi to reach the formation where a certain His Highness was located.
Due to the two armies giving way, Wei Ji and Jiang Bi successfully arrived at the main formation of the Wei army and saw King Su surrounded by many generals like stars over the moon...
"child?"
As if they had a clear understanding of each other, Wei Ji, the king of Lintao, and Jiang Bi, the concubine's chief, looked at each other with strange expressions.
They never expected that the commander-in-chief who could gather hundreds of thousands of troops in seven days was actually a child.
