Chapter two hundred and sixty first power struggle calculation(1/2)

Although King Bao of Wei is strange, at that time the Western Wei Dynasty had the most appeal among the princes except the Han Dynasty.

After the defeat of the allied forces of the princes in the Battle of Pengcheng, all countries gradually became more loyal to Chu, but King Bao of Wei was the first to dare to openly betray the Han.

After that, all the countries in the north rebelled against the Han, and only then did Han Xin, the military immortal, destroy the five powerful countries in one year - Western Wei, Dai, Zhao, Yan, and restore Qi to Tian Guang.

Zhao Wu's army traveled northward along the river all night, carefully observing the situation on the east side of the river.

Until the border of Qin and Zhai, Zhao Wu, who was sitting on his horse with a bow, still found no trace of any Wei people.

"Do you really dare to believe what that little girl said?" Zhao Wu shook his head and complained, "The main force of the Western Wei Dynasty must be in Puban. Taking advantage of the war in Qin, attacking Qin from Linjin City is the best way. Why go north?

way?"

"What should be done according to what Knight Zhao said?" the cavalryman beside the horse asked.

"Hurry up...sigh." Zhao Wu sighed. Although he was tough on his words, he didn't dare to believe Mo Shi's words in his heart.

"Three thousand troops stay here. The rest of the army returns to the camp quickly!"

After Zhao Wu and everyone left, a figure flashed behind the dead tree on the west side in the distance.

"Hey, even if the Zhai Kingdom marches eastward, the Qin army shouldn't be so lax, right? It's really outrageous." The young man with a resolute face and a commander-in-chief said in a strange manner.

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded behind the man.

The man turned around in panic, and he was relieved when he saw it was the Wei State messenger.

"Your Majesty has arrived at the border of Qin Zhai?" the man asked.

"Return to the command of the king. The king has broken through the Qin territory last night and is attacking Pinyang City at this moment." The messenger replied, "A hundred thousand troops can capture Pinyang today. Yueyang on the south side will not be attacked until tomorrow."

It’s what’s in the bag!”

The messengers were particularly excited. Back then, the powerful Wei State could send troops if it wanted to attack Qin State. Today, it seems that Wei State has returned.

Yueyang was also the capital established by the Qin State to prepare for Wei's westward advance. It was considered the last bottom line of the Qin State. Although this bottom line was breached by the rebels, it would be of great significance for the Wei State to capture it alone.

"Rrash! Too hasty! The words of Han, coupled with the secret words of Mi Xing's tribe, could make the king act so rashly. If Mi Xing and Ziying deceive the king, Han Xin's plan will bring disaster to the country.

Harm you!"

The man clenched his fists, feeling unwilling.

Before Han Xin arrived in the Western Wei Dynasty, he had always been the closest general to King Bao of Wei, but now King Bao of Wei obeyed Han Xin everywhere.

Wang Xiang was unhappy with King Bao of Wei on this trip, so he entered Qin first on the pretext of spying on Qin's military situation. However, he did not expect King Bao of Wei to be so impatient to wait.

"Commander, don't blame me. If Mi Xin's words are true, now is the best time to enter Qin while Ziying is attacking Bashu. Don't miss it!" said the messenger.

Wang Xiang was still angry and could not get angry again. He frowned and watched Zhao Wu and others go south.

"If Commander Wang really dislikes Han Xin, he must kill the enemy in this battle and make meritorious service, so that he can be put to more important use by the king," the messenger advised.

"Haha..." Wang Xiang smiled bitterly, "The big plan is Han Xin's. I killed the enemy with blood, but he buried his troops outside Hangu Pass. No matter how brave I was in fighting, I was just trying to gain credit for Han Xin."

The ordering soldier was speechless for a moment.

"Well, a hundred thousand troops are fighting against a country in wartime where the king is not around, so why do I need my commander to lead the troops?" Wang Xiang sighed, "You can just go back outside Pinyang City and inform the king. Just say that I, my commander, will be watching over you."

The Qin army will protect the Wei army from danger."

Wang Xiang has not returned, and it is difficult for the soldiers to communicate with each other. King Bao of Wei is not a fool, and he should have guessed that Wang Xiang is dissatisfied. This is not good for both of them.

"Originally, Commander Wang was really doing meritorious service for Han Xin, but now... it's different." The messenger thought.

"What's the difference?" Wang Xiang said with an ugly smile, "Is it possible for me to let my commander directly attack Xianyang, the capital of Qin? I don't want this kind of 'good thing'."

The messenger shook his head slowly, "This matter is indeed related to Xianyang. It is said that Fu Kuan, the fifth official of the Wei Dynasty, betrayed Bashu to the Qin Dynasty. If the commander captured Fu Kuan alive, it would be an extraordinary feat."

"Gong Dejun?!"

Wang Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up. When the world was attacking Qin, those who could be crowned kings were all famous figures in the world. And Fu Kuan was one of them!

"This commander will march westward to Pinyang!"

"As it should be."

The ordering soldier smiled slightly and led Wang Xiang for hundreds of steps. He took out two fast horses from the forest and hurried towards Pinyang.

When the two of them rushed outside Pinyang, the top of Pinyang City was already filled with Wei flags.

"I'm afraid the king has already attacked Yueyang, right? I'm afraid the commander will miss the battle," the messenger said.

"this..."

Wang Xiang gritted his teeth. If Yueyang was captured, attacking other cities in the territory would be painless. At that time, the only way to make Wei Wang Bao look high was to attack Xianyang, but Xianyang had not even been conquered by Xiang Yu. Wang Xiang felt that

No bottom.

The two looked at each other, holding the reins and sitting outside the city.

"The army of 100,000 will definitely win this battle. Commander Wang should provide timely support." The messenger sighed, "If we don't get even a trace of credit, we will never be able to compete with Han Xin in the future."

"That's all."

Wang Xiang was told that he was the boss, so he slapped the horse's butt with an expressionless face and went south. He silently prayed that King Wei Bao would not have time to attack the city.

After running around continuously, Wang Xiang's resentment towards Han Xin had reached its peak, and his eyes were red with anger.

Han Xin took away what belonged to him. Attacking Yin was a trivial matter, but attacking Han had already shocked the entire Wei state. The battle in Qin was Wang Xiang's only chance to make a comeback!

But there is still commander Li Shang in the army, so this opportunity may... be gone.

The dead trees on the roadside quickly retreated, and Wang Xiang felt a chill growing in his heart.

"I can lose, but Han Xin must die! Li Shang, help me!"

Wang Xiang kept shouting in his heart until the sky gradually darkened and the two horses slowed down and fell to the ground from exhaustion.

"Get up quickly!" Wang Xiang said in a tearful tone, "I'm going to have my life ruined by you!"

The messenger stood aside, looking at Wang Xiang and sighing, "These two horses have traveled no less than two hundred miles today, and they should be exhausted long ago. Yueyang is not far away, let's see how the battle is going."

"I don't care, stand up quickly!"

Wang Xiang kicked the dead horse hard in the belly, and the messenger stopped reminding him and walked south.

Only then did Wang Xiang stop, dragging his desperate body to follow.

Twenty miles north of Yueyang, outside the red military camp of the Wei State, one hundred thousand Wei soldiers were silent, holding torches.

Wang Xiang saw the military tent from a distance, and a smile gradually appeared on his ugly face hidden by the firelight.

"Setting up camp in the north of the city?! Didn't a hundred thousand troops capture Yueyang?!" Wang Xiang blinked tightly, finally confirming that he had read correctly.

"That should be the case, otherwise we should camp on the other three sides." The messenger nodded and said, with Xianyang in the east, Wuguan in the south, and Hangu Pass in the west, the north is by no means the best place to camp.

"God has eyes!" Wang Xiang stretched out his hands to grab his hair and knelt on the ground piously.

A hundred thousand troops could not succeed. Unless God heard his prayer, Wang Xiang could not think of anything else.

"It's not that God has eyes, it's that Chen Ping is too sinister..."

Wang Xiang was startled and looked up to the south. A middle-aged man with a long beard reaching his chest was walking towards him holding a torch.

"Commander Li Shang?!" Wang Xiang frowned, "Commander Li is not stationed in the camp to plan the battle for the king, how can he be here?"

"Planning? Humph...it's not my turn, commander-in-chief." Li Shang sneered, "That Han Xin was so arrogant that he privately gave the king three tips bags, saying that he would open them one by one whenever there was a place to be attacked. Wait.

Once all three kits are opened, Qin will belong to the Wei Dynasty."

The two brothers Li Shiqi and Li Shang followed Liu Bang when they conquered Qin. Li Shang returned to the Wei State, thinking that he would be reused if he was wise. Unexpectedly, Han Xin came to the army, and the two brothers were treated as ordinary.

In this battle, King Bao of Wei personally went to war, but Li Shang actually just patrolled around and was ordered by King Bao of Wei to do some spying on the enemy and make arrests.

"It's so mysterious!" Wang Xiang said angrily, "If Han Xin has a plan to destroy the city, just tell the king all about it, but he still wants to do it to this extent?!"

"Han Xin said that if you open it because you are afraid that the king will be prepared and underestimate the enemy, or if there are changes, the kit will be useless." Li Shang smiled disdainfully, "Han Xin just wanted to let the king know that although he has not arrived in Qin, he will

I just want to know about the war in Qin in order to get a bigger reward in the future."

Wang Xiang also noticed Li Shang's hatred, but he was only sent to inspect the situation, so Li Shang's situation may not be better than his.

After thinking for a long time, Wang Xiang summoned up the courage to speak, "Oh, I said it bluntly in front of Commander Li. In my heart, I hope that the king will not be able to attack the city, or even be defeated by the Qin army!"

Li Shang was stunned for a moment, then smiled knowingly.

If King Bao of Wei loses, he can only punish Han Xin's spirit. In addition to Han Xin's conspiracy, Wang Xiang can also put the blame on Han Xin.

"But this matter will only hurt the enemy one thousand and damage one's own eight hundred." Li Shang reminded, "If the king goes out with the army, he will inevitably be blamed for being unable to assist the king."

"Haha..." Wang Xiang smiled with relief, "I had already thought about it on the way here. I would rather die together than let Han Xin have an easy time! Only those who fall at the same time who stand higher will fall.

It hurts more!”

Li Shang could understand Wang Xiang's thoughts and nodded secretly. Besides, Li Shang was not reused in this battle, and it was not his turn to blame Wei Wang Bao.

Wang Xiang stood up and stepped forward, looking directly into Li Shang's eyes, "I hope Commander Li will tell me how the king lost this battle, so that I can help the Qin people a little."

"Ahem..." Li Shang was shocked. He didn't expect Wang Xiang to collaborate with the enemy.

"Besides this plan, I have no other choice!" Wang Xiang said anxiously, "Commander Li, just rest assured and keep your mouth shut to keep me secret. In future battles, I will fight to the death to serve the king. In addition, in the court, I will also use Chen Liuli as my commander.

As your clan is respected, I am willing to be Commander Li’s subordinate!”
