Chapter 166: Raiders of Song County (2) [2 in 1](2/2)
"Yes." Li Huo nodded and said, "In my opinion, the Wei army's losses this time are not serious, and they are fully capable of continuing... But for some unknown reason, they suddenly retreated."
Xiang Qian was silent when he heard the words.
At this time, he already had a guess in his mind. It must be that Shen Yu had just arrived and did not know the situation of the water battle in Weishan Lake. Therefore, Li Wei, Zhou Kui, and Cai Qinhu made this fight start and end, so that Shen Yu understands the general situation of the battle.
It is conceivable that after returning to Huling, Shen Yu will definitely inform the King of Wei and ask Daliang to provide support. In fact, Xiang Yu still can't figure out why the Wei Kingdom didn't send other troops.
To put it bluntly, if the Wei State sent 200,000 troops to march overland from "Ningyang" and pass through the Lu State to invade the Song State, how could the Song State, which was a tiny country, resist it?
After much deliberation, Xiang Yu still couldn't figure out what the young King of Wei was thinking. Could it be that he was playing with them like a cat playing with a mouse? - With the character of the King of Wei, he would not do such a thing. .
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a soldier coming to the study, cupping his fists and saying: "Prime Minister, your Majesty has invited you."
He looked at Li Huo, then thought for a while and said, "Li Huo, please continue to monitor Wei Jun's every move."
"Yes!" Li Huo clasped his fists and left.
After Li Huo left, Xiang Huan followed the soldier to the Song Palace - actually it was just a relatively elegant mansion in the city.
When I arrived at the lobby of the north room of this mansion, I saw the prince of the Song Dynasty, Zixin, walking around the house rubbing his hands, looking quite anxious.
"Your Majesty." Xiang Dian bowed his hands and said.
Song Zixin raised her head and saw Xiang Qi, forcing a smile on her anxious face: "The Prime Minister is here, sit down."
After inviting Xiang Ding to sit down in the room, Zixin licked her lips and asked cautiously: "Prime Minister, I heard that the Wei army has sent troops to attack again today?"
Hearing this, Xiang Qian smiled bitterly to himself.
The monarch of the Song Dynasty in front of him is good at everything, but he is just a little timid - of course, compared to the other descendants of the Song royal family who did not even dare to come forward to restore the Song Dynasty, this monarch is already very courageous. Incredible.
He cupped his hands and comforted Xiang Xuan: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Wei army will be repelled by our army as always."
"Hey, that's good, that's good..."
Prince Song nodded with relief, but the sadness on his face did not disappear at all.
It's no wonder, after all, they spent all their troops to repel only a small army of Wei State. However, Wei State has not had a single soldier of the 400,000 elite divisions that they used when they expelled Lin Hu and defeated South Korea over the years. When a soldier was sent to Song County, when he thought that such a powerful Korea was defeated by the Wei State, and even the capital Handan had to give up, Song Wangzixin felt that the future of the Song State was bleak.
"I never thought that South Korea would be defeated..." Song Zixin murmured while sitting in her seat.
Prince Song was delighted to hear the words and remained silent.
When he decided to restore the Song State, it was because Qi and Wei were at odds with each other, and South Korea was also on the opposite side of the Wei State. At that time, Xiang Xian felt that if Qi and South Korea joined forces, wouldn't it be possible to suppress the Wei State?
But what he didn't expect was that in the face of the suppression of Qi and South Korea, Wei State quickly attracted two powerful countries, Qin State and Chu State, as allies, and among them, Chu State used the power of one country to suppress
The three kingdoms of Qi, Lu, Yue, and finally Wei won that unprecedented battle, making all Xiang's previous plans come to nothing.
But now, the Wei State has emerged as a hegemon, and the "Daliang Alliance" has awed all the countries in the Central Plains. In fact, even Xiang Qian himself does not know where the way out for the Song State is.
However, before the end was reached, the responsibilities in his heart forced him to continue to do his best for this purpose.
"Prime Minister, why don't you surrender?"
"...Huh?"
When Leng Buding heard Song Prince Xin's timid inquiry, he was startled and looked at the latter in disbelief: "Your Majesty, you said...surrender?"
I saw Song Wang Zixin licking his lips, and reluctantly calmed down and said: "Prime Minister, when you persuaded me back then, you predicted that the Wei State would definitely be defeated under the attack of Qi and South Korea. At that time, we, the Song Dynasty people, could take the opportunity to restore the country.
...but you
I have also seen that the Wei State not only was not defeated, but also gradually became more powerful than before. Today, the Wei State is located in Hetao, Hexi, Shangdang, Hanoi, Hedong, Yingshui, Shangshui and other major counties, sitting on several major counties.
One hundred thousand soldiers and armor,
Moreover, there are many talented people in the country, and our Song State... only covers an area of more than a hundred miles, which is less than a small county of the Wei State. How can we withstand the power of the Wei State?" After a pause, he looked at Xiang Xuan, and then said after thinking:
"Although I don't understand
However, we also understand that our country’s victory over the Wei army so far is just because the Wei State has no time to take care of us. Once the Wei State makes up its mind to use troops against our Song State, the defeat of our Song State will only occur after the overthrow of the King of Wei.
between hands."
These words left Xiang Ding speechless.
He didn't know what to say to persuade the monarch of the Song Dynasty in front of him. After all, what this monarch said was indeed a solid fact.
That night, Xiang Tong tossed and turned on the bed, Song Zixin's words echoing repeatedly in her mind.
Just as Song Wang Zixin said, the current situation in his country is very difficult, so difficult that it is like a small boat in the ocean, with the danger of capsizing at any time.
But he knew more clearly that once he gave up here, there would be no chance to make a comeback, because Cui Yong, the official of Wei State, had defeated the most critical thing of the Beibo Army - the people of Song County against the Beibo Army.
Trust and support.
Without the secret support of the people of Song County, his Beibo Army could no longer continue to hide among the people as before.
"Maybe... maybe the situation is not that bad. Maybe Wei still has no time to take care of us?"
He could only comfort himself in this way.
About ten days later, Shen Yu's handwritten letter was sent to Daliang and delivered to the hands of Wei King Zhao Run, which gave Zhao Run a general understanding of the battle situation at Weishan Lake.
On that day, without saying anything, Zhao Run transferred fifty large ships, hundreds of Wei Liannu, and corresponding crossbow equipment and crossbow arrows from Xiangfu Port, and transported them along the Lianglu Canal to Huling. He ordered Shen Yu and Li Qi to
Zhou Kui, Cai Qinhu and others used the Beibo Army to train the navy on the basis of the Chunshui Army, Chenggao Army and Fenxing Army, which were already in embryonic form.
This news quickly reached Xiang Dian's ears.
Seeing that Wei State did not send troops, but instead sent many huge warships and the astonishingly powerful Wei Liannu, he felt a thump in his heart.
"The King of Wei...could it be that he wants to use our army to train troops?"
