Chapter 1077: Going to the meeting alone, the generals rebelled, and Liangguan fell
Henan Road is surrounded by dangers from all directions.
There is Tianqi in the east, Weiguan in the north, and Yangguan in the south.
And to the west is the indestructible Liangguan.
In the early stage of the battle between King Jing and the Three Small Alliances, King Jing fought on three sides, and the shortcomings of the lack of top generals in the army were fully exposed.
Therefore, in the early stages of the war, it can be said that King Jing suffered losses every step of the way!
On the eastern front, under the joint attack of Tianshi Dao and Wei Wang, King Jing lost even the Heyang Road where he started. At that time, even many people under King Jing were panicked and their thoughts changed.
.
In the west, faced with the sudden rise of the veteran Lian Po, coupled with Zhao Changfeng, Zhao Kuangyin and his son who know people and are good at appointing people, the two counties east of Liangguan on Henan Road were successively lost to the hands of the Zhenxi Army.
So much so that King Jing could only defend Liangguan on the Western Front battlefield. Relying on this method, he could block the Zhenxi Army in the west and temporarily stabilize the Western Front when the war started on multiple fronts.
But after arriving, some generals of Tianshi Dao couldn't think about it for a moment and caused a great disaster, which caused the four major imperial merchants headed by the Nangong family and even many aristocratic families to join forces to counterattack. Tianshi Dao and Wei Wang
Too busy to take care of themselves, they can only try their best to secure the fruits of victory. If they want to attack again, it is impossible.
And King Jing, who dragged many lines into battle and was able to concentrate his strength, clenched his fists, and hit one spot hard, finally showed his strength as one of the two strongest men in the world.
Relying on the gap in hard power, even though the Zhenxi Army had elite soldiers, they were defeated one after another. They tried their best and tried every means to preserve the fruits of victory in this battle. However, it was still extremely difficult.
Even Zhao Changfeng, the leader of the Zhenxi Army, was on the battlefield and was pierced through the shoulder by an arrow from Zhongli Mo with all his strength. The blood evil power attached to the bow and arrow caused damage to his meridians. He temporarily went to the rear to recuperate.
The frontline battlefield was handed over to his eldest son Zhao Kuangyin.
After all, war is ultimately about the combined national strength of both sides.
At this stage, the Zhenxi Army is truly outnumbered and powerful.
The three generals Shen Gong Ying Jianshang, Yin Qiangu, and Duan Hou are all heaven-level masters.
The strongest Jian Shang, his strength reaches the peak of heaven level.
If there was no system, among the original Zhenxi Army, apart from Zhao Changling, who was a god-level warrior, he would be the number one expert in the Zhenxi Army.
Yin Qiangu and Duan Hou's second general, although they are not as good as Jian Shang, they are all heaven-level masters with 103 basic martial arts. The three of them joined forces and really seriously injured a god general. Moreover, if Dawu hadn't
With the help of strong generals, it is not just as simple as seriously injuring them, but they can also be shot together.
He should be shot head-on, rather than relying on cold arrows.
Among the four generals in the town, although Zhendong and Zhenbei do have two divine generals, Zhenxi and Zhennan are not far behind. The number of heaven-level generals at the level of basic force 103 and basic force 104
Above, Zhenxi and Zhennan do cost a little more each.
The two brothers Leng Wuyan and Leng Wuque of the Zhennan family can fight against the divine generals together, and the three divine bow generals of the Zhenxi family are even more sharp. If the three of them join forces, this deterrence will definitely be greater than that of the Zhennan family.
Above the two brothers Leng Wuyan and Leng Wuque.
Therefore, compared with Zhendong and Zhenbei, the strength of the other two families is never the generals, but their inherent advantage over the infantry as a strong cavalry town.
Among the Zhenxi family, not only is Zhao Changling, a veteran general and master, but the younger generation Zhao Kuangwu has also grown up and reached this level.
In fact, according to the original historical trajectory, Wang Yu during this period, like Zhao Kuangwu, would reach this level in the near future.
However, under that historical trajectory, Wang Yu spent his time in continuous bloody battles, and even teamed up with several other people to fight against Lang Mie. But now Wang Yu has a completely different growth experience, two completely different periods.
A different life.
The clan generals Zhao Wuji, the Zhenxi generals Li Yuan, and Ming Wei are each heaven-level commanders. They are among the Zhenxi army and are equivalent to the four king generals in the Zhendong army.
Panshan Chongbu Battalion commanded Yanshan. Among the many famous generals in Da Cang, he has always had the reputation of being as immovable as a mountain. In terms of defensive warfare alone, he is famous in Da Cang and is a very extreme development figure. However,
It definitely shouldn’t be underestimated.
In addition, Hu Sheng and Wang Zhongxiao are also two great warriors at the peak of the heaven level. However, the two of them are relatively ordinary at this level. They are not as good as Zhendong's single-handedly challenger Wang Ye Jiyang.
General Yang was sent up to the far distance to mourn with his arrows.
And the system figures, among the three Zhenxi, Zhennan, and Zhenbei families, also prefer Zhenxi very much.
Not only did they bring two heroes, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Yong, to Zhenxi, but the addition of Zhao Kuangyin also brought to Zhenxi Junshun generals such as Shi Shouxin, Wang Zhengzhong, Han Chongyun, Pan Mei, and Gao Huaide.
Zhao Yong was not bad either. Not only did he bring Zhao Sheng, one of the Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period, to the Zhenxi family, but he also brought them Ma Fujun Zhao She, a commander at the peak of heaven level.
In addition, the addition of veterans Zongze and Lian Po has made the Zhenxi family even more powerful.
Xuanwu was implanted as Zhao Kuangyin's cousin, and the Zhenxi family had a real master.
There is also Gao Chong, a master at the level of intermediate divine general. As a descendant of the generals of the Gao family in the novel, he was implanted into the nephew of Gao Huaide, the general under Zhao Kuangyin.
Of course, in the same novel, Gao Siji, the peak heaven-level master of the Gao family, is now in the arms of the Zhenxi family.
In the novel, Zhao Bifang, an entry-level divine general who is known as the most powerful general with three swords in front of him, was also implanted into the Zhenxi Zhao clan.
In addition, the Zhenxi family now has two brothers, Xia Ruqi and Xia Shunie, as helpers.
But even with such a strong army of Zhenxi Army, it is still impossible to resist Prince Jing Huangfu Gu Yuan on his own, who is one of the two strongest forces in the world.
But no one thought that even in this situation, even Zhao Changfeng, who was at the rear, had already made preparations in his heart to retreat to the two passes if it didn't work.
However, there was only one Zhao Kuangyin who never gave up no matter how difficult it was.
After discussion with Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Pu, Xie Guanying, Chu Zhaoye, and Han Chongming, the four great counselors, they finally came up with a solution that was not a solution, and tried to start with the small imperial court on Hexi Road.
The political stances of the two parties are completely different. There is no basis for cooperation between these two families, and it is even less likely to form an interest alliance like Tianshi Dao and Wei Wang. At least, it is completely impossible to cooperate openly. At most, there is some
The unspeakable secret understanding.
If the small court of Hexi Province cooperates with Zhenxi Mansion, wouldn't it mean that they have recognized the high-sounding excuses that the other party gave them when they rebelled?
However, although the two companies cannot cooperate, it does not mean that some exchange of interests cannot be carried out.
Therefore, if Zhao Kuangyin wants the small court of Hexi Road to help them, then he must let the other party see the benefits.
Zhao Kuangyin was also very decisive. The condition he gave was to directly cut off the two counties of Guandong Road.
Nowadays, after losing the entire Hedong Road, the small imperial court of Hexi Road only has half of Hexi Road left, and it is just hanging on.
Although Guandong Road is relatively low-ranking among the Da Cang, these two roads are crucial to the current small court of Hexi Road.
First of all, given their current situation, it would be nice to have a territory, but how can they be given the right to pick and choose?
Secondly, the small court of Hexi Road now has the Zhenxi Army to the west and south, Hedong Road to the north, and Prince Jing’s Henan Road to the east. It can be said that they are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and the strength of each enemy is
above them.
Every family, if they are serious about it, has enough power to destroy them.
If they can hold the two counties of Kansai Road in their hands, it will play a vital role in improving their current defense system.
It is precisely because of these reasons that the conditions given by Zhao Kuangyin must be sincere.
Moreover, this is not all the conditions given by Zhao Kuangyin, but only the first condition. The second condition given by Zhao Kuangyin is equally tempting.
For Zhao Kuangyin, the current enemy is not the Hexi Small Court at all. Even if the two sides have irreconcilable conflicts, the strength of the other party lies there. If the enemy of Prince Jing can be defeated, the Hexi Small Court will naturally
There are solutions.
In order to persuade the small court of Hexi Road, lobbyist Lou Xu was sent by Zhao Kuangyin to serve as an envoy to the court of Hexi Road.
Lou Sui, a native of Zhao during the Warring States Period, was a famous strategist in the middle and late Warring States Period.
In the early days, he followed King Wuling of Zhao and implemented reforms. Lou Huan first served in Zhao State and served King Wuling of Zhao. He advocated learning from the system of Qin State and introducing Hu clothing, riding and shooting, which made Zhao State strong. During this period, Lou Huan made suggestions for Zhao State.
Help King Wuling strengthen his royal power and implement reforms.
In the middle period, he turned to Qin and became the prime minister of Qin. He successively assisted King Zhaoxiang of Qin and King Huiwen of Qin. During this period, Lou Sui tried to destroy the alliance between Zhao and Qin and made the two countries at odds. He also used diplomatic means to unite Qin and Chu to fight against Wei and Han.
and other countries.
After Lou Huan was brought out by Zhao Yong, he worked hard step by step and became Zhao Changfeng's number one lobbyist, and was deeply valued by Zhao Changfeng and his son.
And Lou Huan lived up to expectations. During the negotiations with the Hexi Small Court, he first offered the first condition, and then induced the other party to proactively propose the second condition, thereby officially promoting this matter and getting what they wanted.
something.
And what they want to get is actually just a few letters.
Afterwards, Zhao Kuangyin dressed up and went to the meeting alone, personally inviting the enemy generals Xia Ze, Yu Fengsheng and Feng Yihan to come for a while.
Xia Ze and Yu Fengsheng, both of them were one of the eight generals of the Forbidden Army. As we all know, these eight generals of the Forbidden Army were minions of Huangfu's court and one of the most loyal people to the emperor. The idea of loyalty to the emperor is engraved on
In their bones.
If it weren't for Huangfu Mingzhao's last words, these people would never have surrendered to Huangfu Guyuan, even if they would rather die in battle.
Just like Huang Feiyang back then, he refused to bow his head even if the entire family bowed his head. Although he followed Wang Yu's army and participated in the Battle of Xirong, he actually did not bow to Wang Yu. The reason why he participated
Which battle itself is about seeking death.
Huangfu Guyuan also knew this very well. He knew that leaving these people behind would be a hidden danger, but it happened that these people were brave and good at fighting, and he couldn't bear to kill them.
Moreover, if this is really done, other people who surrender to the imperial court will also die in grief, which is not worth it.
Therefore, we can only hold them up high but not give them real power.
On the surface, these people seem to have high official positions, but during this period they have been walking on thin ice and their situation is not very good.
At this time, Zhao Kuangyin came with letters from many important officials in the Hexi court. Zhao Kuangyin personally stated the pros and cons in an attempt to persuade these three people to help him.
The reason why Zhao Kuangyin came to persuade these two people was not to convince them to surrender to him. That would be a fantasy. No matter how difficult it was for these people to live with Huangfu Guyuan, it was still impossible.
He turned to Zhao Kuangyin, who rebelled against the Huangfu court.
And he came to persuade these two people, which was related to another condition of Zhao Kuangyin's promise to the Hexi small court. The Hexi small court agreed to help Zhao Kuangyin persuade these people to surrender. However, in addition to the two counties promised by Zhao Kuangyin, he must also
Release these people back to the small court in Hexi.
In addition to relying on those letters to use friendship and coercion, the three of them, Zhao Kuangyin and Han Xin, elaborated on the pros and cons.
Not to mention that if these three people help Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin agrees to the conditions of the small court in Hexi.
Just if their Zhenxi Army were defeated and retreated, once the Zhenxi Army lost the two counties in Henan, Prince Jing would once again be bordering Hexi.
The Zhenxi Army was certainly a thorn in Prince Jing's side, but the remaining bloodline of Huangfu Mingzhao was even more incompatible with Prince Jing.
Therefore, although Xia Ze, Yu Fengsheng, and Feng Yihan hesitated for several days, they were finally convinced by Zhao Kuangyin.
Especially Feng Yihan. He and Chu Xizhao were both mentors and friends. Of course, Wang Yu was primarily responsible for Chu Xizhao's death, but the others could never have lost their relationship.
He was not only worried about the situation of the small court in Hexi because of Zhao Kuangyin's words, but also the hidden hatred in his heart was aroused by Zhao Kuangyin.
Since the imperial court of Huangfu Mingzhao was destroyed, Feng Yihan had to hide this hatred due to various reasons. He even had to deceive himself and others into forgetting this hatred.
However, he cannot deceive himself forever. A person cannot deceive himself for a lifetime.
Therefore, among the three people, he was actually the first to make a decision.
It was precisely because of the betrayal of these three people that Prince Jing's advantage in the originally good situation was completely lost. Even Liangguan, one of the portals, finally fell into the hands of Zhao Kuangyin.
