"What news is there from outside the city?"

After receiving the emergency letter stained with blood, Wang Sunjia's already gloomy mood became worse when he read the dry and boring words on the slips that contained important information. For nearly half a month, every day the car has been delivered with bad news...

In Wang Sunjia's view, it was not wise for Weihou to start this war with a desperate gamble. When Fan and Bank of China were still there, Wei Guo could still try to recover the lost ground, but in the blink of an eye, these two families were completely wiped out. I thought they were far away. The Zhao family crossed the river to attack! All of a sudden, Wei Guo was like a small fish trapped in Pu at the ebb of the river, and fell into Zhao Wuxi's fishing net, the more he struggled, the tighter he became!

Originally, he thought that when things got too late, he would persuade Marquis Wei to make peace with the Zhao family, but what he didn't expect was that Zhao Wuxi blocked this possibility unreasonably.

The last letter came from Kuai Xun, the deposed prince who pretended to be a monarch. He claimed that Kong Yu had become his "ruler", and many princes of Wei also pledged allegiance to him, asking Wei Yuan to abdicate and give up the city of Diqiu.

At that time, Hou Yuan of Wei was furious and threw the letter into the furnace and turned it into ashes, but he couldn't burn down the fact that the two monarchs of Wei were standing side by side, but Wang Sun Jia's "please be pacified" could only be swallowed back, and there was nothing to talk about.

And this time the news made his heart even more heavy, he slowly put down the slip, and said to the people in the hall, "The Zhao family has taken Xiaqiu."

Mi Zixia, who was waiting beside Weihou, turned ashen. Xiaqiu was a fief granted to him by Weihou. It was located dozens of miles northeast of Diqiu. In theory, it should be in the hinterland. , it's not safe there.

"Since Xiaqiu has fallen, it seems that Zhao Bing has removed the acropolis around Diqiu one by one, and will soon gather to prepare for the siege..."

Di Hill is not far from Hanoi. Since Chaoge Yueyu has been breached, how long can Diqiu last?

Wei Houyuan sat on the emperor's couch anxiously, starting from Zhao Wuxi's sneak attack on Zhenyi. During the past few years, the land of Wei State has been continuously lost, first in Jixi. Then there is Pu Nan, now even Chu Qiu has been lost, and his son is still standing against him. In the past, Wei Kingdom, which had six or seven hundred combat power, now only has Emperor Hill and a corner of the north.

Standing at the head of Diqiu City and looking out, he could see that the guards wanted to enter the city, but they were turned away by the timid guards. Don't have them. Then they went to join Wei Jun of Chuqiu! This made Weihou Yuan dumb to eat Huanglian, and he couldn't tell the bitterness. In the end, it seemed that he was driving his own people out.

In recent days, the scenery outside the city has changed. Perhaps the Zhao family has completely controlled the surrounding area, and fewer people have fled to defect, but Weihou can see the Zhao family's rangers running arrogantly into the moat to drink horses. , but the guards in the city did not dare to go out to expel them. This made Weihou feel a sense of danger in addition to humiliation. A sense of crisis called the subjugation of the country and the subjugation of society.

In the thirty years he has been the monarch, he has never been so embarrassed and passive, but he has nothing to do. Now I can only look at Wang Sunjia, full of despair and earnestly ask: "Does Sima have a way to break the siege?"

Wang Sunjia said helplessly: "The few thousand troops left in Wei must stay at Diqiu, so they can't defend the surrounding small towns, and the towns in the north that are still listening to the emperor's orders are not strong enough to disperse the Zhao army. .We are isolated and helpless, for the present plan, we can only hurry up to consolidate the city defense, and count on allies to rescue..."

Speaking of this Marquis Wei, he became angry. He patted the table and said angrily: "Allies? Diqiu is about to be surrounded. Where are the ally of the widowers?"

……

Among Weihou's allies, it is impossible for Jin people to come and save them. The only two hopes are Zheng Guo and Qi Guo, but Zheng Guo's ruling does not know which tendon is wrong. Seeing that Zhao Wuxi was about to attack and defend, he dispatched his troops to the southwest to attack the Man clan, and he also had a conflict with Duke Ye of Chu.

As for the state of Qi, it was the cunning and cunning Chen family who was authorized by the Marquis of Qi to defend against Zhao's army... Chen Qi personally sat in Gaotang, and his son Chen Heng recruited more than 10,000 soldiers to gather by the river, but did not send aid to the south. Instead, Wei rushed westward into the Hejian Land to the north of the Wei Kingdom. This was originally the territory of the Zhongxing clan. After the fall of Handan, facing the attack of the Zhao clan, Chen Heng took control of the place under the pretext of assisting the defense.

At the same time, he also heard that Zhao Wuxi set up the abolition of the crown prince Kuai Yu as his monarch, occupied Chuqiu, and was ready to encircle Puyang.

"This move is really ruthless. The Zhao family has been too hasty in attacking and defending in the past few years. The senior officials of the Wei country were worried that Zhao Wuxi would destroy the society of the Wei, but now he has established Kuai Fu as the king, and has also recruited Kong to surrender. Shi and many doctors are telling the Wei people in a disguised form that choosing to surrender will not make Wei lose the country, but just change to a monarch who can live in peace with the Zhao family. As a result, the resistance of the Wei people will be reduced... "

Facing Zhao Wuxi's strategy full of praise, Chen Heng didn't underestimate himself. He was no longer the young man who was scared off his glass by Zhao Wuxi's words at the Jiagu meeting a few years ago. After several years of experience in the court and in the military, Chen Heng has become gloomy and skilled, and he is more and more like his grandfather Chen Wuyu.

In the autumn and winter of last year, when the various forces temporarily truce to fight the wounds, he sent messengers to carry gifts such as gold and silver brocades into the Hejian land to recruit the local Rongdi tribes. The hearts of the people were agitated, and seeing the profits, they switched to the Chen family. So in the last half year of the war, Qihou Heguo and Gao nibbled at the rocks in the front line of Mount Tai, but the Chen family took over the territory leisurely. After annexing the Hejian land, their territory nearly doubled!

When he learned that Zhao Bing had taken all the small towns around Diqiu and was about to enter Puyang, Chen Heng didn't act rashly, but took a boat back to Gaotang himself to report to his father.

Shipping on the big river is faster than the land route. It took only one day and one night to travel by light boat and fast boat.

Gaotang was originally a remote small town in the northern part of Qi. It only controlled the trade between Qi and Yan, Bank of China, and Zhongshan, so it developed rapidly. After two generations of Chen's business, it became more and more prosperous. The former Xiaodukou fishing village is now a big city with 10,000 households, capable of sending 500 troops!

Chen has the ambition to steal the country, so while gathering the hearts of the people, he built several acropolis around Gaotang to station troops, and there is nothing strange from the outside. Recruits!

When everyone in the world was attracted by the fight of the six ministers of Jin, they didn't realize that the strength of the Chen family was already the highest of the thousand! This viper-like family has been hiding its fangs, just waiting for the giant beasts in the field to get tired, and then go down and take a bite!

Qi Qing Chen Qi, who was nearly fifty years old, was inspecting the arsenal in one of the acropolis. He soon came out to meet his son. After listening to his report, he said without hesitation: "Guo and Gao don't help the defense, and Chen's also No help!"

Chen Qi, Chen Heng and his son are really not interested in the hegemony war that the monarchs are looking forward to. Every decision they make is to consider how the Chen family can preserve its strength in the war and how to be big. In short, Chen Qi has made up his mind in this war, and he must bring Qi Hou, Gongzu Heguo, and Gao Erqing into the pit, so that their strength will be greatly damaged, so that he can carry out the conspiracy of stealing Qi.

However, Chen Heng was more far-sighted than his father in thinking about things, and he calmly analyzed: "What my father said is very true, Zhao's army is powerful, and there are nearly 20,000 capable soldiers in the army, and we must not be enemies with the front. But we can't let it go. If the Zhao clan occupies Diqiu, abolishes Wei Hou Yuan, and establishes Kuai Xun as the main force, then the state of Qi will be surrounded by him, and if we go north from the state of Wei, it will be the territory of the Chen clan, and sit back and watch Zhao Wuxi take it all. The state of Wei is of no benefit to the Chen family."

"What's more, now Chen's family still has to look up to Qi Hou's breath. If he doesn't do anything, he will probably arouse Qi Hou's suspicion, and then he will not be beautiful."

Chen Qi gave a little thought and nodded: "My son is right, so what do you think should be done?"

"When the boy was on the boat, he had already come up with an idea."

Chen Heng is not only good at conspiracy, but also has some experience in temple calculation and military competition. Their Chen family, but Sima Rangju and Sun Wu, two great soldiers! This is inseparable from the strong family education. The legendary Taigong Liutao and Sima Rangju's suicide note "Sima Fa" are hidden in their family's treasury~lightnovelpub.net~Chen Hengdao: "Back then Duke Weng of Jin wanted to fight for the Central Plains with Chu State. In order to save Song, who was besieged by the Chu people, the Jin army surrounded Cao and tempted Chu State to move north. Since I did not want to confront Zhao Wuxi, I wanted to protect the Diqiu is not lost, and by the way, let Qi Zhao fight head-on, why not follow suit?"

"Come and listen."

Chen Heng agreed, "According to the news, the Zhao clan sent a large army to fight on both the western and eastern fronts, and its hinterland must be empty. If I take the opportunity of Zhao Wuxi to besiege Diqiu and cross the river westward, I will join forces with the Zhongxing clan and the local Rongdi tribes. Cooperate and incite the rebellion of the Handan people, maybe you can hit Handan in one breath!"

Chen Qi's eyes lit up, and he praised with his palms: "This plan is very good. At that time, Zhao Wuxi has only two choices, either give up attacking Diqiu, or give up Handan, which he just won! If it is the former, when they return to the teacher, I will You can either retreat into the territory of the Zhongxing clan or cross the river to return to Qi. If the latter, Hebei is not owned by the Zhao clan!"

"Of course, after the boy sends troops, his father can also ask Qi Hou to take credit for the Chen family, and at the same time put high pressure on the country and the country, and then encourage Qi Hou to bring the main force of the Qi army to hold Zhao Wuxi back when the boy crossed the river to attack Handan. He can't attack and defend, and he can't return to the teacher."

Chen Qi was very pleased to see Duozhi's son: "In this way, the long-awaited battle between Qi and Zhao, which my father and son have been waiting for, will begin on Sangjianpu..."

Chen Heng's ambition was bigger than his father's, and there was a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth: "Not only that, in that case, if Qi and Zhao are both defeated in Wei, the Chen family can not only weaken the office, but also take all the east of Taihang! Even if the pilfering cannot be accomplished, is it okay to be independent as a state on both sides of the river like the Zhao family?" (To be continued.)
