Chapter 2 The conspiracy between Han and Zhao
Looking at Gongsun Cuo who was half-kneeling in front of him at this moment, Wei? He did not say any words of punishment to him, but came to him step by step.
The next moment, Gongsun Cuo felt a force coming from his arm, and his eyes shifted to the figure in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the last general..."
Looking at the somewhat astonished look on the other party's face, Wei? The strength in his hands slightly increased, and Gongsun Cuo in front of him was helped up by him.
After Gongsun Cuo stood up, Wei Wei slowly said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military strategists. Why should a general be like this because of a defeat in a war?"
"Don't you see, the former King of Yue, Gou Jian, was also defeated by King Wu Fu Chai. Later, King Gou Jian of Yue endured the humiliation and worked hard to govern, and this was how he became the hegemon of the country of Yue in the future."
"I once heard that people who achieve great things will not be upset by small humiliations. I believe that the general is also such a person."
In the Battle of Zhuoze that just passed, the powerful Wei State suffered a rare defeat under the joint offensive of South Korea and Zhao State.
After the failure, not only the Wei army could only retreat to the camp and temporarily avoid the front lines of the Korean and Zhao armies, but even Wei Hou Wei? could only be trapped in this military camp.
For the defeat of this battle, Gongsun Cuo, as the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, believed that it was his own responsibility and has been deeply blaming himself for this.
Only then did Gongsun Cuo request to see Wei Wei.
However, Wei Xiu's words just now were like a clear spring, nourishing Gongsun Cuo's heart that was filled with self-blame for the defeat.
Although Wei Xi's words could not completely dispel the self-blame in Gongsun Cuo's heart, the look of self-blame on his face was still weakened a lot.
His eyes were always fixed on Gongsun Cuo in front of him. Seeing that the other person's face was still a little depressed, Wei?'s hand gently patted the other person's right arm.
"If the general is still worried about the chaos, then he should cheer up and have a showdown with the Zhao-Han coalition on the battlefield in the future."
As Wei Xi finished speaking, the look of self-blame on Gongsun Cuo's face gradually dissipated, and was replaced by a look of solemnity.
If the king regards his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers will regard him as his heart.
Originally, Gongsun Cuo was loyal to Wei Wei, who was the eldest son of Marquis Wu of Wei, and with his recent encouragement and encouragement, he immediately had the idea of repaying the king's kindness with all his heart.
Taking half a step back slightly, Gongsun Cuo bowed to Wei?
"But please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust."
"color!"
A cheer rang out in the tent, and Wei Wei helped Gongsun Cuo up again, "In the coming days, I will hold a banquet outside Anyi City and wait for the general's triumphant return."
After some coordination between the emperor and his ministers, the Wei Dynasty returned to this era and completely regained Gongsun Cuo's loyalty in front of him.
Next, Wei? began to focus on the dilemma he was facing.
"General, I wonder how many days' journey is there between the Shangdang troops led by Xiang Guo and Zhuoze?"
"Your Majesty, according to the Japanese military report before the Prime Minister, they are only two days away from our army camp. The general estimates that the Prime Minister's army will be able to arrive by tomorrow evening at the latest."
After hearing the news reported by Gongsun Cuo, Wei Wei nodded slightly, feeling even more confident.
Although according to the development of things in the previous life, the Korean and Wei coalition forces will not pose any substantial threat to him due to civil strife this time.
But Wei Wei will not bet with his own life that the Han and Zhao coalition forces will be like the previous life. What he needs is for him to control the entire chess game.
At this moment, he still has tens of thousands of troops in his hands. It may not be enough to take the initiative to attack the coalition forces, but holding the barracks should not be a problem.
And once Prime Minister Duke Shucuo led the troops of Shangdang arrived and the two armies joined together, he no longer needed to worry about the threat from the Han and Zhao coalition forces.
The most precious thing for Wei Wei now is time. After passing this most dangerous period, he will completely regain the initiative on the battlefield and even the entire situation.
As soon as he thought about this, Wei?'s eyes turned to Gongsun Cuo in front of him, with a bit of solemnity in his eyes.
"Please also ask the general to guard the camp strictly to prevent the Korean and Zhao coalition forces from making a sneak attack at night."
"Here."
After bowing, Gongsun Cuo exited the Chinese army's tent. He wanted to pass on Wei Xi's order quickly.
The sound of footsteps gradually disappeared, and Wei Xi was the only one left in the tent again.
Turning around slightly, Wei?'s eyes were focused on the map behind him again, and there was only calmness in his eyes.
He knew very well that the only thing he could do at this moment was...
wait.
…
On the bank of Zhuoze, the atmosphere in the Wei army camp was gradually filled with solemnity, while the Han and Zhao coalition camps on the other side were filled with a festive atmosphere.
Being able to defeat the countless Wei troops in the world, every Han and Zhao soldier who participated in this battle of Zhuoze felt proud from the bottom of his heart.
Even though this war is not over yet, they have not completely defeated the Wei army. There are still smiles on the faces of these soldiers from time to time.
These low-level soldiers were like this, and the hearts of Zhao Hou Zhao Zhong and Han Hou Han Ruoshan, who were the commanders of the coalition forces, were even more filled with joy.
At this moment, a grand banquet was being held in the brightly lit coalition tent.
Recalling the scene when the soldiers of the two countries joined forces to defeat the Wei army in Zhuoze, Zhao Zhong couldn't help but smile.
He raised his right hand to the wine cup in front of him, which was filled with wine, and saw Zhao Zhong giving a gentle salute to Han Ruoshan in front of him.
"Marquis Han, please drink a cup of wine for the great victory of our coalition forces!"
"Marquis Zhao please."
After giving Marquis Zhao a gift, Han Ruoshan drank the wine in one gulp, and then heard a dull voice appear in the tent.
Placing the wine cup in his hand on the tables in front of him, Han Ruoshan turned his eyes calmly, and a thought appeared in his mind.
"Ruoshan has always had a question in his mind that cannot be answered. Can Marquis Zhao answer it for Ruoshan?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "What is this, please speak frankly."
"Now that our coalition has the upper hand on the battlefield, I wonder what Marquis Zhao is going to do with Wei?"
As soon as Han Ruoshan raised this question, the atmosphere in the entire hall immediately became stagnant, and the smile on Zhao Zhong's face weakened a bit.
After refilling the glass of wine in front of him and drinking it down in one gulp, Zhao Zhong looked at Han Ruoshan in front of him, and a complex and inexplicable expression slowly emerged in his eyes.
"Do you think the Marquis of Han can kill Wei?, make Gong Zhongxuan the king, and make Wei cede the cities to me, Zhao and Han?"
"Ruoshan thinks this is illegal?" After listening to Zhao Zhong's proposal, Han Ruoshan slowly shook his head, "Doing this will make everyone in the world think that Zhao and Han are cruel, and..."
At this point, Han Ruoshan suddenly paused for a moment, and a look of wisdom appeared in his eyes.
"Furthermore, even if Gong Zhongxu is established as the monarch, Wei will still be strong. Isn't the Marquis of Zhao afraid that Wei will use the cession of territory as an excuse to take revenge on our two countries, South Korea and Zhao?"
After asking a rhetorical question, Han Ruoshan began to look at Zhao Zhong in front of him, but he was a little disappointed that the person opposite didn't seem to care about the concerns he raised.
It seems that after obtaining the territory ceded by Wei this time, Zhao's national power will skyrocket and he will no longer be afraid of Wei.
Han Ruoshan couldn't help but feel a hint of gloom in his heart, but the next moment he still said his proposal to Zhao Zhong opposite.
"Zhao Hou, Ruoshan thinks that instead of supporting Gong Zhongxu as king again, it would be better to divide Wei State into two."
"The original eastern territory of the Wei State can be called the Liang State, while the western territory can still be called the Wei State. After being divided into two, neither the Liang State nor the Wei State can compete with the strength of our two countries, South Korea and Zhao."
"In this way, our two countries, South Korea and Zhao, can sit back and relax from now on."
After expressing the proposal in his heart with impassioned words, Han Ruoshan looked at Zhao Zhong in front of him with some expectation.
"I wonder what Marquis Zhao thinks?"
