Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 665 Han Wangan’s embarrassment
  Wei Zhuang, who was called by someone, did not say anything and stood silently on the spot, his eyes fluttering between Han Wangan and Ji Wuye.

During the period when Han Fei was still in Xinzheng and did not go to Xianyang, Han Fei, Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang were the most active in the court. They scolded Fang Qiu and denounced South Korea's military and political system impassionedly. reform.

However, everything changed when Han Fei left the country and joined the Qin Dynasty.

Without Han Fei, who was the candidate for the crown prince, Liusha was unable to continue to compete with the fourth son Han Yu in the court, and fell into silence. Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang naturally became transparent people.

Xiang Guo Kaidi, who originally stood with Liusha, immediately changed his position and became close to the fourth son Han Yu.

It's not that the two of them are helpless, but in this situation, unless they come up with a golden monkey to rise up, otherwise... it's better to lie down.

Destroy it, I'm tired...

As for the mobilization of the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army, the two of them were indifferent.

However, for Han Wangan, Wei Zhuang, a high disciple of Guigu who was born in a strategist family, was his life-saving straw, even though he had always disliked Wei Zhuang before.

"Wei Sima, what do you think of the general's advice?"

Wei Zhuang responded calmly, "It all depends on the king's orders."

After hearing this, Han Wangan asked eagerly, "So, Wei Sima is confident?"

Wei Zhuang still had a cold face, but he did not respond as Han Wangan hoped. He clasped his hands and said, "If we have 50,000 elite soldiers and sufficient food, grass and baggage, we can stop Pingyang's heavy armor."

In the art of war and strategy, Wei Zhuang was as conceited as anyone else. Even if he was not as good as those famous generals in the world, he was not far behind.

But...if no one has money or food, they will have to stop eating when the God of War comes.

Although the current new commander of the Pingyang Heavy Armor Army, Nei Shiteng, is not well-known, he is not an easy opponent to deal with. Facing the Qin State with tiger and wolf divisions, Wei Zhuang's own strength of 50,000 troops is already the minimum.

If this is not achieved, then forget it.

Can Han Wangan come up with this number of troops?

Yes and no.

When Han Wangan heard Wei Zhuang's request, his eyes immediately shifted to General Ji Wuye. Of course, he had to say the matter of dispatching troops and generals.

Ji Wuye didn't hesitate much, and with a ferocious smile on his ugly face, he replied directly, "It's as simple as 50,000 troops. I, the general, will definitely gather them for Wei Sima in the shortest possible time."

Wei Zhuang did not accept his vague words and emphasized again, "I said, you must dare to fight and have strong soldiers who can fight. If the general doesn't know where to randomly assemble a force with no fighting ability, I don’t want any miscellaneous soldiers.”

"Also, food, grass, baggage, and military equipment cannot be missing."

Ji Wuye's face darkened.

He has been trying his best to prevent Liusha from reaching out to military power, which is also the bottom line he values ​​most. Therefore, although Wei Zhuang became Zuo Sima, he was never able to seize much military power. He only left with the help of Han Fei The command authority of part of the capital's imperial army was controlled by Ji Wuye, but the border guards were always in the hands of Ji Wuye.

This time, he took the initiative to ask Wei Zhuang to go to the border to lead the army, but he had no choice. Compared with facing Qin's ace army, he felt that it was the lesser of two powers.

Even though the probability of a fight seems high at the moment, what if it happens? The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court, and I, General Ji, will not go to hell. Whoever loves me will go to hell!
  Even so, he was still determined to stumble the opponent, so when Wei Zhuang said he wanted 50,000 people, he agreed immediately.

Isn't it just fifty thousand 'elite soldiers'? I, the general, can gather them for you at will. But Wei Zhuang is going even further and plans to directly block his little plan... Is this possible?
  No!

This is not to say that Ji Wuye will take the opportunity to trick him, but that it is simply impossible for him to meet Wei Zhuang's requirements.

South Korea's armaments are more lax than those of Qi and Yan. In the past, it was all supported by Bai Yifei's White Armored Army, and the rest of the border troops were almost like decorations.

According to Wei Zhuang's request, is it possible that he should be asked to hand over the White Armor Army to the other party?
  joke!

After Bai Yifei's death, how much effort did he waste in order to gain control of the Baijia Army? Even the whole night gave up a lot of benefits for this.

Ji Wuye's eyes flashed fiercely, and he suppressed his anger and said:

"Wei Sima, I am very clear about your requirements, but as for the soldiers, I can only guarantee that you will not be lacking, including all supplies. As for their performance on the battlefield, that is you, the commander-in-chief. It’s your turn to take responsibility, it’s not my general’s turn to make a promise to you, right?”

Wei Zhuang replied in a cold voice, "In this case, I can only say that I will do my best. If something unexpected happens, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"That's enough!" Han Wang'an rolled his sleeves angrily and shouted sternly, "Now we are facing a crisis. As a minister, you don't know how to share the worries of others, but you are still here shirking your responsibilities!"

Ji Wuye pretended to be sincere and fearful and replied, "Your Majesty, I am just stating the facts."

"How can I guarantee this soldier's combat prowess? Besides, if I guarantee everything, what's the use of guarding Sima?"

Wei Zhuang just smiled contemptuously at Han Wangan's anger and Ji Wuye's excuse, and said indifferently, "According to what General Ji said, I am just talking about things. How can there be a complete victory in military affairs?"

Then he gave a vivid example, "In the past, King Yan wanted to take the opportunity to attack Zhao. He asked Yu Ju Xin how the veteran Pang Nuan was doing. Ju Xin replied, 'Yi Yu is the best.'"

"Haha, as for the outcome of the war, your Majesty should know, right?"

Han Wangan's already ugly face became even more gloomy.

Of course he knew the outcome of the war. Ju Xin was defeated and died. With tens of thousands of soldiers from the Yan Kingdom and his own life, he proved to the six countries whether Pang Nuan, a veteran general who only took charge of the army at the age of seventy, was reliable. …

The example makes sense, but...is this the answer a minister should give to a king?
  Ju Xin had worked with Pang Nuan before, so he really didn't understand Pang Nuan's ability at all, so he despised him so much?
  That might not be the case, but he had no choice.

Since King Yan Xi asked him, he could only give the answer that King Yan Xi hoped to hear.

But you, Wei Zhuang, openly contradicted everyone... Han Wangan was extremely angry, but it was inconvenient to deal with Wei Zhuang at this time.

First of all, I really need the other person's talents.

Secondly, looking at the other party's behavior, you can tell that he doesn't care about being punished at all.

The teacher came from Wuming. Mr. Han Wangan couldn't kill Wei Zhuang just because of a few words. The great thing was to remove him from the position of Sima. But after Han Fei left, he had been sitting on the bench. Would he care about losing this position?

Han Wangan's mind was particularly good at times like this, and he could see everything clearly.

I don’t usually care for people, but I want to use people at critical moments... haha.

However, Han Wangan naturally did not feel that there was anything wrong with his actions, but he became more and more disgusted with Wei Zhuang - a person who was as ignorant as Lao Jiu!
