Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 141 Qin Guo backstabs, Qi Wei ends

From Hangu Pass to the coast of the East China Sea, the four kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Han and Qi have been facing each other for several years, and both sides feel that the time for a decisive battle seems to be coming.

This may be the highest-quality battle in the land of Zhuxia for decades. Wei State is the old overlord of the Central Plains, and the results of the reform are still supporting Wei State.

Qi State is the upstart of reform and reform, the eastern overlord who won Huaisi, defeated Chu State, and annexed Wu State.

Both Han and Zhao have strong soldiers, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Qin Chuyan, the three frontier countries, are also paying attention to this war. Before, Qin State and Qi State besieged Wei State's land in Huaisi, but after Qi State turned south, they signed a peace agreement with Wei State in Hexi.

The two sides agreed not to invade each other, Qin Bo also made a blood alliance with Wei Hou, and promised not to participate in the war between Wei State and Qi State. Qin State is now in decline, and only hope Wei State can let Qin State go and let Qin State recuperate.

Wei Guo prospered in the past because of the defection of a large number of talents, but after these talents became new nobles, they also began to exclude those scholars who had newly entered the bureaucratic ranks of the Wei Guo nobles.

Many scholars who were depressed in Wei State went to Qin State to serve as officials.

Wei Yang's leap from being a white man to Zuo Shuzhang in charge of the state affairs of Qin State, and the down-and-out aristocrat's leap to take charge of Qin State's military power, these are excellent examples.

Especially in the current countries, there are frequent wars, and all the countries are alliances and rebellions. Don't look at the current Wei and Qi countries. Once it is profitable, they will be able to reconcile immediately.

Strategists who are good at rhetoric are the guests of the monarchs of various countries. These people have a deep insight into the hearts of the people, and they can always hit the pain points in the hearts of monarchs. Almost all the alliances between countries are decided by the strategists.

Eight hundred miles away in Qinchuan, countless Qin people were organized to build water conservancy projects, especially with the support of Qin Mo's technology, they became more and more prosperous.

The state of Qin loves to build water conservancy, not only because water conservancy can promote food production, but also because water conservancy can control population.

As long as the government controls the source, when to open the gate, when to cut off the water, for whom to irrigate the land, and pay for irrigation, these are all excellent methods of tax collection, which are much better than the method of door-to-door forcing taxes.

In the Xianyang Palace, the high-ranking officials of the Qin State gather together to discuss the major affairs of the Qin State. Uncle Qin, the son Sheng who is in charge of the Qin army, Liang Xi from Wei, Wei Yang, the chief of the left concubine, and Chu people who are in charge of the foreign affairs of the countries. In Shencheng, there are also some talented and intelligent people from other countries.

Facing the crowd, Uncle Qin laughed loudly and said, "What the ancestors of the Qin Kingdom were determined to do was to go east.

In the past, the wars of Zhuxia were defeated because of Wei Houqing's betrayal, and the first emperor ended in hatred.

Now, with the help of all the great talents alone, Qin Guobing has enough food and supplies, and the Central Plains has been fighting continuously, and it must be weak. It seems that the great wishes of the past kings are about to be realized. "

Perhaps this is also one of the advantages brought about by geography. For more than 800 years, Chu State has been determined to go north, while Qin State wants to go east. Their strategy will never change.

Unlike Jin and Wei, they can expand in all directions, so the qualitative strategy is very poor. When they are strong, they don’t get enough advantages. When their strength declines, they will be besieged by enemies from all directions.

"The battle between Qi State and Wei State is about to be decided. If Wei State wins, Qin State One can continue to cultivate Bashu, enrich the granary, and oppress Chu State.

Second, we can also take advantage of the exhaustion after the war between Wei and Qi to quickly occupy Hexi, and then build a defense line around the Yellow River, unite with South Korea, and fight against the strong Wei.

But from my point of view, the military power of Wei State is not as strong as it was in the past, the politics of Wei State is dark, and a great talent like Liang Xi cannot occupy a high position, and Qi State has a better chance of winning.

If the Wei State is defeated, our Qin army will directly capture the land of Hexi, oppress Hedong, and plan Hangu.

If Hangu Pass and the Yellow River can be used as natural barriers, and then go north to the plateau along the edge and connect with the enclave, it will be able to oppress Wei State in the south.

Since then, it will be invincible. Even if the three countries of Zhao, Wei and Han jointly attack, Qin can also retreat to defend Hangu Pass.

The only thing to worry about is Qi State. Qi State has a great reputation. If Wei State is defeated, South Korea will definitely bow down. In addition to Wu State, almost all the most fertile land in the east will fall into the hands of Qi State. "

Qin State and Qi State are still weakening Wei State's ally relationship together, but Qin State's strategic vision is very long-term, Qi State is still fighting to kill, and he has already begun to consider Qi State.

Wei Yang pondered and said: "My lord, I have been thinking about a question.

What kind of attitude does Luo Guo hold for the rise of Qi Guo this time?
What kind of attitude does Qi State have towards Emperor Zhou?
Is it still necessary to support and protect the Zhou royal family?
If Qi State still respects the Emperor Zhou, Luo State will definitely help Qi State secretly.

Gold, silver, food, silk, swords, guns, swords and halberds are not needed by the Luo Kingdom for the time being, but they are enough to prosper the country.

The existence of the Zhou royal family is not a good thing for Qin. "

Luo country!

Uncle Qin's heart sank. As the power of the Zhou royal family declined, the monarchs of various countries had the idea of ​​replacing it. Now it is not just the Chu family who want to win the championship.

However, limited by the powerful traditional forces, no one has dared to directly raise it. This is why South Korea's outrageous attack on the royal family caused a huge sensation.

The existence of Luo State has become an obstacle to accepting the order of heaven. In the eyes of everyone, if Bang Zhou's destiny is defeated, Luo State will definitely work hard!
The state of Luo didn't react too much now, firstly because of the weakening of power, and secondly because the Zhou royal family was still in Luoyi city after all.

After all, Su Wang is still the officiant of other countries. Although the monarchs of other countries have frequently overstepped, even the King of Chu has never said that he is the Son of Heaven.

Seeing everyone pondering, Wei Yang said: "If Qi wins, he will be the honorary title of Qi State, and coerce Zhao Weihan and other countries to be the honorary title of Qi State together, completely tearing the relationship between Luo State and Qi State.

This is like going up a tall building. If you want to go up one step at a time, if you want to go up to the sky, you will only end up dead.

What's more, Qi State, from the public office to the Qing scholars, fantasizes about restoring Duke Huan's hegemony all day long.

In the past, Duke Huan of Qi had already won the position of Fangbo, and he was granted the title of Duke with Jiuxi. Don't the monarchs and ministers of Qi want to go further? "

!!!

Everyone couldn't help being shocked by Wei Yang's words. Even Qin Bo didn't expect Wei Yang to come up with such a radical idea, but after thinking about it, it was wonderful that he didn't need to apply this idea to himself.

So he said happily: "Wei Xiang is really a great talent who can assist the holy king. With you here, wouldn't Qin be prosperous?"

So the ministers began to arrange around the competition for the land of Hexi. Once Wei and Qi started a large-scale battle, they would immediately attack Hexi.

As for the peace agreement and covenant signed before?

Back then, when Wei Guolao backstabbed the old Qin people, he didn't mention any peace talks and covenants, which is called retribution.

On the territory of South Korea, countless troops are mobilizing.

The decisive battle between Wei State and Qi State basically gathered several elements. Wei State was short of food and grass, and was eager to fight a big battle, and the oppression of Qi State's grain road became more and more serious.

In fact, a war lasts for several years, especially when the monarchs and ministers on both sides are not yet considered stupid, it is extremely difficult to keep any secrets.

Both sides are basically playing their cards, and it depends on who can carry it better, and who can persist in key decisions to the end.

The reason why Wei State dared to fight Qi State due to lack of food and grass was because Wei State knew that there might be food and grass in Qi State, but there was none in Qi State's camp!

In other words, Qi State is more likely to be short of food than Wei State now.

Because the State of Wei intercepted the exact time of the arrival of Qi State's grain and grass, after paying a lot of casualties, it successfully burned all the grain and grass enough to feed [-] elites for a month.

Even if Qi State can still mobilize food and grass from Qi State, that will be a matter of later, not to mention South Korea. Now South Korea is full of starvation and corpses. Years of wars have occurred in South Korea's territory. So much food.

The subsequent battles confirmed Wei Guo's guess. In an encounter with 4 or [-] people, Qi Guo only lasted for less than a stick of incense before retreating. This made Wei Jiang look very happy, "Qi The faces of the national army are obviously hungry, they are indeed out of food."

The Qi general Guan Chenglin and the Qi minister Lu Ji had unusually calm faces. How could the state of Wei understand the wealth of the state of Qi?

The supply of [-] elite grain and grass can be used as bait. This is the confidence of Qi State. The real army of Qi State still has sufficient grain and grass and strong morale.

Guan Chenglin pointed on the atlas and said: "Minister of the State, here and here are the places where our army fought and failed with the Wei army.

At the beginning, the Wei people were more cautious, but with the victories in two or three consecutive encounters and the continuous rout of our army, the Wei people's vigilance began to decrease.

Now the news that our army is short of food, the Wei people have already believed it, and now they are leading the Wei people into the ambush circle.

Once caught in an ambush, it is completely different from fighting head-on. Even a powerful army like Wei Wuzu is just a stronger pig and dog, and he can still be slaughtered wantonly. "

Lu Ji carefully looked at the ambush point on the map, and nodded with satisfaction, "Guan Qing is the successor of Guan Zi, if this battle can severely damage Wei Wuzu, the monarch will definitely seal the land for you again.

You have made such a great contribution to the state of Qi, Guan Zi, who is above the nine heavens, must also be proud of you. "

Burning their own food and grass during the war, and paying such a high price for planning, it would be no wonder if the people of Wei didn't fall for it.

When the Wei people fell into an ambush while chasing and marching, countless Qi people appeared, causing the Wei people to panic instantly. Guan Chenglin shouted: "Kill!"

The Qi army brought almost all the bows and crossbows in the country, and the arrows fell like raindrops, and the Wei army was completely sealed off by chariots and rolling stones.

There is only a small mountain road left for the Wei people to break through. This is to dispel the will of the Wei army. With the rain of arrows falling, the Wei people's counterattack seems too weak, and there are enemies on all sides. The command system Where can it still work.

Especially as the sky gradually darkened, these soldiers who were generally night-blind were terrified to the extreme, not knowing how to survive.

The shrill screams and the waving of weapons resounded for an unknown period of time. This fear of dying without knowing when they would die made everyone rush towards the only way to survive.

Then there are countless people crowding and trampling. The number of people who died in this way is unimaginable, far exceeding the number killed by the Qi army.

At dawn, the sky suddenly broke.

There are corpses everywhere in the mountains, countless broken flags of Wei Jun, and many messy arrows shot on the ground, but a large part of them still hit Wei Jun. There are not many complete corpses, and many corpses are complete in shape. But part of it turned into meat paste directly, which was the result of being trampled by the rebel army.

Most of the dead people had fear on their faces, and some obviously tall and strong soldiers wore thick bronze armor. These were extremely powerful Wei soldiers on the battlefield, but they were coerced to death here.

The bronze armor provided them with some protection, at least they survived under the arrows, but once they were squeezed down, the heavy armor would become a burden instead. It seems that many Wei soldiers fell directly to the ground and were trampled. die.

Next to the banner of the Wei army, the people of Qi saw the corpses of the general of the Wei army and the son of Wei Guo. These two committed suicide in grief and anger when they saw that the situation was over.

Guan Chenglin and Lu Ji looked at the corpses stretching across the valley, but they laughed loudly and said, "Qi's hegemony is over!"

----

The battle between Qi State and Wei State for the supremacy of the Central Plains was a complete victory. After the Battle of Yanling, Qi State once again dominated Zhuxia. Qin State also offered countless praises to Qi State, and the complacent Qi State fell into a heavy strategic misjudgment. ——"The History of the Rise and Fall of the Zhou Dynasty"
