Chapter 13 Urgent Summoning
Just as Qin had suffered before, Chu seems to be transparent now, and countless messages are transmitted to Qin through the land of Wei occupied by the Qin army. This is an unstoppable thing. For the sake of the lowly people, the nobles are reluctant to hang themselves on a tree for food and clothing, and for the way out.
The only thing that is fortunate is that the news they can contact is not more confidential than those published by the Da Chu News. Such news that is not confidential, such as "Boats go out to sea to test sail, Ao Houyou's worries accompanying him". The news of Da Chu has been published openly. In fact, the confidant Si Si Si, who reviewed the news, was also very embarrassed. If not published, how to tell the whole world that Chu State has found a way out. Even if the whole world is occupied by the Qin people, the world that is unwilling to be the Qin people can have a home like the Koreans and the Zhou people running east.
Let’s publish it. The Qin people will definitely accelerate their attack when they get the news and fight the Chu army in advance. If they lose, everything will be over. Even if they win, how many soldiers can the Chu army be left? However, under the persuasion of Li Qie and Wu, this news can still be published. It is particularly pointed out that Ao Hou was going to see him off, but he was quite worried when he saw the turbulent waves on the sea, so he left his eldest son and walked forward with the boats.
What Li Qi and Wuwu agreed to with me naturally would not be a good thing. On the day of receiving the news, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but order Wang Jian to come to the garrison to pay a visit immediately. Before that, Wang Jian had already prepared for the visit. He arranged the military affairs and set off immediately. He also asked his son Wang Ben to hurried to Huai County, two hundred miles away with the talisman and axe he had given him.
"Is the general wanting to refuse?" Wei Liao took his leave early this day and waited for Wang Jian thirty miles outside Huai County. The military talisman is very small, but the axe is narrow and long. As soon as he saw the axe, he knew what Wang Jian had in mind.
"If the king ordered me to fight, I had no choice but to resign." Wang Jian said bluntly to Wei Liao. This was also his plan before coming to Huai County.
"How can this be? How can this be!" Wei Liao was shocked and shouted twice before he stopped. What he was most worried about was Wang Jian's resignation. "The general is a Qin man. How can he sit idly by and watch the Qin man be defeated? How can he bear to die in battle..."
"The Qin Dynasty has been fighting for hundreds of years, and many Qin people have died in battle. My eldest father and my father have all died in Changping." Wang Jian's eyes were lowered, and his face was filled with indescribable sadness. The Qin army killed many people from the six countries, and many Qin people themselves have died. But if this is not the case, how could the Qin people be promoted to reward?
"The Jing people are at the end of their power. If they defeat me, they will not destroy Qin." Wang Jian said again, his eyes clear.
"What's the fear of the general?" Wei Liao almost stamped his feet. "Why don't the 600,000 soldiers attack the 100,000 Jing people?"
"Even if the strong crossbow is at the end, those who are in the forefront will die." Wang Jian replied. "How can I lead my army to take risks unless it is absolutely necessary? There are not many old Qin people!"
Wei Liao was not a Qin person, but most of the short soldiers around Wei Liao were Qin people. He was shocked when he heard this and bowed his head. Over the past ten years, the Qin army suffered nearly one million casualties, and the real Guanzhong elite soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, especially Li Xin's two battles, who suffered many Guanzhong soldiers.
"Without the old Qin people, how could the Guandong soldiers be afraid of my Qin people?" Wang Jian asked back. "What I mean is to be experienced and new in the camp. In the war, Guandong soldiers attacked King Jing, and the old Qin soldiers arrested him. However, it will take time. It is not time for the resignation. The king is too anxious and must take the lead. The eldest son of Jing and lose my old Qin people for the sake of the young master of Jing, and help the elder Miao."
"This is not because the king is too anxious. This is because the Jing people have the Tao and rebel first without Tao. If they do not abduct the eldest son of Jing, the Jing Kingdom will definitely rise again in the future." Wei Liao didn't know Wang Jian's idea, but he didn't dare to tell Zhao Zheng about Wang Jian's idea.
"I am not afraid of King Jing, I, the Qin Dynasty, so why are you afraid of the eldest son of the State of Jing?" Wang Jian said contemptuously. He couldn't figure out what the King was worried about.
"Oh!" Wang Jian was polite and sophisticated, and the most rare thing was to know his destiny. Although he was the general of the Qin Dynasty, he was ignorant of the entire Qin Dynasty. Wei Liao wanted to say it but it was hard to say it, and he dared not say it. He sighed and said, "When the general met with the king, you must not advise the king not to abduct the eldest son of the Jing Kingdom."
"Why don't you persuade me?" Wang Jian looked at him inexplicably. "Did the king ask me why I said that when I didn't fight, I was afraid that King Jing would be insulted, so I dare not fight?"
"If the general advises not to abduct the eldest son of Jing, the king will be angry." It was too late to explain. The messenger went to the Qin army's palace to summon Wang Jian to see him, and he followed Wang Jian along the way. Wei Liao could not talk to Wang Jian here for too long. Zhao Gao, a villain, asked about it. When the king learned about it, he might be suspicious again. He gave enough gold and jade to the messenger. Wei Liao hurriedly left, and Wang Jian rushed into Huai County to meet Zhao Zheng.
Like Qutai Palace, the narrow county magistrate's mansion was filled with official documents and bamboo slips from all over the country. Zhao Zheng sat straight on the chair, looking at the general Wang Jian who bowed to him. He didn't even signal. Zhao Gao, who was beside him, handed Wang Jian a piece of news about the Great Chu. Wang Jian could not read the content clearly.
"Wudu Hou Yan, I, the Qin people, are not convinced by the wind and waves of Shaohai, and when I go out, I will be dazzled. Do the general know?" Zhao Zheng did not quit the courtesy, but directly asked about the military situation.
"I know." Zhao Ying was under Wang Jian's command, and the military report must enter Wang Jian's temple. As for Zhao Ying's order to send a military report to the Guowei Mansion, he could not control it. "Now that winter has not passed, the wind and waves in the Shaohai have not stopped, and more than half of the soldiers are not obeying the wind and waves, and the warships cannot go out to sea."
"What should I do?" Zhao Zheng looked straight at Wang Jian and asked about the countermeasures.
"The Marquis of Wudu wanted to summon Qi people outside Hong Kong to take action, but I think it is inappropriate." Wang Jian was not the general of Zhou Shi, he was talking about Zhao Ying's method.
"Why is it inappropriate?" Zhao Zheng asked again. "The general had previously deposed the money of his son and mother and gave him to Qi soldiers and fields. This was very good, but why was it inappropriate today?"
"I am doing the Qi national affairs, so I think it is inappropriate." Wang Jian said. "Now Qi is my alliance, and the king has sweared with the Qi people, saying that he should not abandon his son and mother's money and grant him the Qi soldiers and fields..."
"What happened?" Zhao Zheng was stunned. The alliance with Qi was not drafted by him, but by the right prime minister Wang Wan. At that time, he just stood on the high platform, symbolically sucking blood, and the others were unimpressed.
"Report to the king, this is indeed true." Zhao Gaoyi said on the side. "The letter of alliance said that I..."
"The people of Qi are also worthy of being an alliance with our Great Qin!" Zhao Zheng angrily rebuked, and Zhao Gao immediately did not dare to speak. "Associate with Qi is a plan for rights and interests. If I want to unify the world, why should I keep the alliance with Qi?!"
Zhao Zheng was originally suppressing his anger, so he urgently summoned Wang Jian. Wang Jian had to arrange military affairs first, which delayed the day. When he arrived in Huai County, he had a private meeting with Wei Liao outside the city, which delayed another half an hour. He waited for a day and another half an hour before seeing Wang Jian! Moreover, Wang Jian also cared about Qi, a country like Qi, even Zhao and Wei... No, no! He was not as good as South Korea, so why should he care?
"I think that the people of Qi are good at fighting." Wang Jian felt Zhao Zheng's anger. He did not dare to figure out his intentions, so he could only tell the truth. "The Tian family was greedy and the country was not upright, so he dared not to fight. Now I am an alliance with the people of Qi. The people of Qi can restrain tens of thousands of Jing people so that the people of Jing dare not gather troops to open the seal; and the people of Jing cannot be the leader of Qi and wear clothes, and the country is in ruins. At that time, we must not be defeated by a mere snatching hands and defeating the alliance of Qin and Qi."
"If I don't betray the Qin and Qi alliance, why should I get the Qi people's snatch?!" Zhao Zheng shouted loudly. "If you don't have the Qi people's snatch, how can the Zhou army defeat the Jing people's snatch?!"
"..." Wang Jian originally wanted to say that the Jing people were not important at all. Thinking of Wei Liao's explanation, he could only swallow his words when he spoke, and endured the anger that Zhao Zheng was oppressed.
"I mean..." Zhao Zheng's eyes flashed, and his eyes kept floating on Wang Jian's face. Wang Jian's heart also hung up at this time. Ren Tianyoude was waiting for Zhao Zheng's decision. After a while, Zhao Zheng let out a breath of turbid air and said, "The boat army is more than a thousand miles away from the general, and is about to enter the coast of Jing Kingdom again. The military communication has been going on for a long time, so..."
Zhao Zheng let out a breath of turbid air, and Wang Jian sighed secretly. Before Zhao Zheng finished speaking, he said, "I also think that the Marquis of Wudu is too far away from me and is also a Zhou army, so my control is not easy. I will focus on fighting against King Jing in the future, so I will ask the king to allow it."
"But." Zhao Zheng's stern face, whose anger was not fully vented, was a little relaxed, but later he was serious again: "The general will be in winter when it is fast, and the general will be slower next year. We will have to fight with King Jing."
"I know." Give up the command of the Zhou Shi in exchange for the king's tolerance for his decisive battle time. Wang Jian also breathed a sigh of relief. "However, I still think that I should not bend the Qin and Qi alliance easily, but now the people of Qi think that they can save the country, if so..."
"The general defeated the Qi people in the past year, why are you afraid of Qi people today?" Zhao Zheng looked at Wang Jian very confused. Thinking of Wang Jian's answer to what the Qi people were good at fighting, he immediately didn't want to discuss with Wang Jian how the Qi people were. In his eyes, there was no difference between the Qi people who were fickle and the ants on the ground. If you want to step on it, you just step on it. If you don't step on it, you just forgot it because you are too busy for a while.
Wang Jian quickly retreated, and just like when he came, he hurried back to the shogunate in the northwest of Daliang. When he left Huai County, the king's order, who allowed Zhao Ying to summon Qi people, also issued it from Huai County and spread it to Zhifu, thousands of miles away.
The country of Qi, whose millet price is over 500 yuan, can eat enough to join the army, waste money from their children and give land, and this kind of thing is almost like meat jerky falling from the sky. After the news of the conscript was heard in the port, the military camp was crowded that day, and the fishermen with their children and mother money were not even willing to take boats. As long as the Qin army was willing to collect themselves, they would immediately sell the boats and go into the camp.
As soon as they entered the Qin army camp, the sons and clerks who collected money from their children had no choice but to do anything about themselves; while the Qin army gave land and farmed in spring, and the family would not go hungry this year. The fishermen who were seeking the conquest were worry-free, and the entire Qi State was immediately in chaos. The alliance book stipulated that the two countries of Qi and Qin were bounded by Wei River, the west was the land of Qin King, and the east was the land of Qi King. The two countries had no mutual support, and their likes and dislikes were the same.
Zhifu was just used to lend it to the Qin people to moor boats. Unexpectedly, the Qin people regarded Zhifu as Qin and played the tricks that Wang Jian had played. For a moment, the narrow court in Jimo was quarreling again. Should Qin abide by this Qi-Qin alliance or want to betray it?
