When I was in Qin Dynasty, I lost contact with the wave

Chapter 457: South Korea is beleaguered internally and externally, Xinzheng is isolated in the battle
Xinzheng, the residence of the general
Zhang Liang, who came in a hurry, looked at Wei Zhuang who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and finally let out a sigh of relief.

I heard that Wei Zhuang almost killed the Qin Army's Hedong fake guard at the top of the city, which boosted the morale of the soldiers in the city and calmed the hearts of many wavering nobles in the city. However, they also heard that Zhang Ji personally went to the top of the city to save him. After Huan Jue and Wei Zhuang exchanged moves, Zhang Liang's heart suddenly lifted.

Although he had found out through his own news channels that Wei Zhuang was not injured, he could only rest assured after witnessing it with his own eyes.

Besides, others don’t know how Wei Zhuang broke through to the master level overnight, and they don’t know how all the Han soldiers in the city could be so eager to fight, but together with Wei Zhuang, they witnessed Han Wangcheng being sacrificed and transformed from a living person to a corpse. There was no trace of flesh and blood left on the white bones. In the end, even the white bones turned into fly ash and were absorbed into the copper box.

And as if in return for the sacrifice, the lid of the copper box belonging to South Korea suddenly fell off on its own.

Contrary to what Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang had guessed, there was nothing in the copper box. Just when they were surprised, a burst of dragon roar came from the copper box.

Although Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang saw the power of the copper box for the first time, from the written records handed down from the state of Zheng, it can be roughly determined that the dragon's roar should be related to luck.

And just after the dragon chant, a golden light fell on Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang visibly to the naked eye.

In that moment, Wei Zhuang suddenly rose from the first-class realm to the half-step master realm. Wei Zhuang, who had already found his own way and only had the foundation and accumulation left to accumulate, broke through to the level of master in that cold palace within an hour. Reached the master state.

However, after all, this power was not obtained by Wei Zhuang's own practice. Just like some sects have the inheritance method of internal power empowerment. Before death, all the internal power of the body is handed over to the successor in the form of empowerment, but this method can Their power has no foundation, and their control of power is even weaker. Under the same realm, compared with the warriors who have been trained through initiation, the former is not as good as the latter.

And it is said that when Zhang Ji broke through to the master level, he realized two "paths", which is better than ordinary master masters, let alone Wei Zhuang, who broke through the master realm in this way?
Fortunately, Wei Zhuang was not injured. Now Wei Zhuang's personal safety is related to the fate of Xinzheng City, and even more to the fate of South Korea, so Wei Zhuang's safety cannot be compromised.

Of course, in addition to Wei Zhuang, Zhang Liang also benefited greatly from that sacrifice.

Although his martial arts realm has not increased much, he has only entered the third-rate realm and has the power to protect himself, but his biggest gain is the clarity and relaxation of his brain.

Many of the difficulties that he had been unable to figure out in Qi Men suddenly became clear to him, giving him many new insights along the way in Qi Men.

Overnight, the whole of South Korea seemed to have undergone magical changes, and the biggest changes were those compatriots who were forcibly recruited into the army and the Korean soldiers who had little fighting spirit.

Everyone seemed to have a heart to serve the country overnight, but Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang still noticed something different.

Just as Zhang Ji felt, it was not a fighting spirit out of patriotism, but an extreme fanaticism, as if he had been bewitched by some deceptive means.

In this regard, Wei Zhuang came to the conclusion that perhaps this was the reason why the copper box was reluctantly opened by special means to guide out the power contained in the incomplete Canglong Qisu.

Although judging from today's battle situation, even this incomplete power of Canglong Qisu still provided great help to the Korean army.

At least based on the original Chinese army that was temporarily forced to form and the Korean soldiers who had no fighting spirit, let alone a battle with the Qin army, whether they can directly and voluntarily surrender is because of the blood of Koreans on their bodies for the sake.

After Shen Buhai started the trend of martial arts, the Koreans became interested in intrigues and intrigues.

But the intrigues used by South Korea against its enemies have never been successful.

As designed by Han Fei and Zhang Liang together, Zhang Kaidi entered Qin as an envoy, and Han Fei's friend Zheng Guo personally entered Qin to carry out the strategy of exhausting Qin. Not only did Qin not be destroyed during that period of weakness, but it created Now this is a more powerful Qin State.

South Korea's conspiracies will always be effective only when they target its own people, just like the never-ending internal fighting in South Korea's court, and the plan to divert the Shangdang's troubles to Zhao.

And if the original Han army and the Qin army had not come, they would have been able to escape nearly half.

Since ancient times, the military principles and best strategies for defending a city have always been to garrison troops outside the city and form a diagonal relationship with the city to support each other.The whole army is stationed in the city, relying on the city walls and ditches to defend it, which is a last resort at any time.

The descendants of the original Shen Buhai, now South Korea trusted Zuo Sima Shen Yan, and You Sima Li Kai, although his appearance and martial arts skills were no longer the same, both suggested that Wei Zhuang would detach an army to station on the south bank of the Jishui River. , built barriers, and placed Xinzheng and Jianshui, which actually added two lines of defense for Xinzheng.

One is the army, and the other is the Jishui River itself. Instead of allowing the Qin army to cross the Jishui River like today, they only need to face a moat dug with the help of the Jishui River.

Wei Zhuang, as the successor of Guigu Hengjian, naturally understands this truth.

However, the sluggish morale of the Korean army makes Wei Zhuang unable to trust that the Korean army stationed outside can become a line of defense for Xinzheng City. Perhaps the Qin Army's cavalry can defeat this Korean army that has no fighting spirit in one battle. By then, not only will it lose Our precious tens of thousands of troops will be damaged again by this defeat, and our few military morale will be damaged again.

But if they are concentrated in the city, not only do they not have to worry about the transportation of baggage, but they can also prevent soldiers from escaping.

Where can I escape in Xinzheng City?

The eyes of Qijuetang and Jiuyihui are everywhere, and it is too easy to catch a group of deserters.

"If I had known that Canglong Qisu's power had such miraculous effects, I should have sent Shen Yuan to lead his army out of the city to station."

Even Wei Zhuang felt some regret, but regret was useless. At least he won the first battle, repelled the Qin army, and almost killed the Qin army's Hedong fake guard Huanjue. This achievement should make the nobles in the city We saw him holding on to the hope of Xinzheng.

However, both Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang understood that Xinzheng City would be lost sooner or later.

Zhang Liang noticed Wei Zhuang's eyes on him and sighed quietly: "My grandfather sent a letter a few days ago... about the various countries' response to the rescue of South Korea... alas."

Having said this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, Korea was originally protected by the Chu State. During the last alliance, Lord Xinling intended to destroy Korea and unify the three Jin Dynasties. It was the Chu State's rescue that prevented Korea from being destroyed.

But now that the old King of Chu died of illness, the new King of Chu is just a baby, and all the military and political power of the country is concentrated in the hands of Ling Yin, Li Yuan.

I originally thought that Li Yuan was just a lucky minister, but I didn't expect that this person was similar to Zhang Ji. With the help of the king's favor, he actually had good means to integrate the power of the nobles for his own use, making it rare for Chu State to have court and local affairs. A grand spectacle of nobles working together.

It's a pity that Li Yuan actually cooperated with the Qin State, and even joined forces to attack the Wei State and seize the Wei State's cities. Zhang Liang personally went to Chu in person, and even failed to pay a visit to the King of Chu and Li Yuan. Shouchun was driven out.Li Yuan resolutely publicly condemned Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang to the world for treason and supporting Han Cheng, Lord of Hengyang, to ascend the throne. He also stated that he would never associate with these rebellious officials and traitors in Korea, and severely warned Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang. Please plead guilty to King An Zibing of Han and return the throne, otherwise the Chu army will soon go north to help Qin and King An of Han quell the rebels.

This wave of operations was completely expected by the Qin courtiers, but it caught Zhang Liang off guard.

Today, Zhang Liang, after becoming a general in Wei Zhuang, also served as a disciple of South Korea.

Shentu is also called Situ. Shentu is the common name for Situ in Korea.

At a young age, Zhang Liang was in charge of the land, people, and education in Korea. The governance rights of the land and people were extended to the management of land and the recruitment of servants. Later, due to the needs of the war, the servants also served as They are the apprentices who build roads, cities and chariots, so Shen Tu also has certain military power.

If it weren't for the precedent of Zhang Ji, Zhang Liang could be regarded as a young man who became famous and became a leader in the world.

But Zhang Liang is too young after all. His control and understanding of people's hearts, methods and thoughts are too immature.

Who is Li Yuan now?

The trusted minister of King Kaolie of Chu, the uncle of King Han of Chu, the brother of Empress Dowager Li Yanyan of Chu, the head of the relatives, the head of all civil and military officials, the power is at its peak!

But the more powerful he is, the more worrisome the secrets are. After integrating the power of the nobles, the nobles temporarily return to their hearts. Li Yuan, who obeys the orders of the court, is naturally jealous of others, and many rumors spread. Rumors circulated that Li Yuan wanted to take advantage of King Chu's strong self-reliance.

The emergence of the rumor shocked Li Yuan. Immediately at the court meeting, he took the most vicious oath of the Chu people and swore to the Tianmeng that he would only serve as a minister of the King of Chu for the rest of his life. He would never dare to rebel against Chu, let alone usurp it!
Chu people are already superstitious, and Li Yuan's oath even mentioned the god Taiyi, and used all his ancestors to swear the oath. The Chu people alleviated their suspicion of Li Yuan to a certain extent, but this time The incident also made Li Yuan a little scared and walking on thin ice.

It should be noted that Zhou Gong was still afraid of the rumor day, let alone Li Yuan?

However, at this extremely sensitive time, Zhang Liang openly visited Li Yuan as a rebellious minister. Isn't this because he is not so sexy, and he wants to make Li Yuan also sexy?
Although Li Yuan had a good relationship with Qin State and was caught by the net, he was not a fool, so he naturally knew what Qin State's success in conquering Korea would mean.

His original intention was to secretly provide grain, grass, wealth, weapons and horses to South Korea to help Wei Zhuang hold on to Xinzheng. By then, Qin's army would be exhausted, and Zhao, Wei, Yan, and other countries would not sit back and watch Qin destroy Han. By then, the four countries would join forces and It should be possible to repeat the old practice of Qi Zhi and Jimo.

As a result, Zhang Liang dared to visit him in the state of Chu in a dignified manner!

Li Yuan was sure that he had met Zhang Liang the day before, and that night there would be rumors in Chuncheng that he and Zhang Liang were conspiring to become kings, and that Korea would support Li Yuan's usurpation in exchange for rescuing South Korea.

Therefore, Li Yuan not only could not see Zhang Liang, but also publicly condemned him. He even suggested that Chu send troops to attack the traitorous officials who usurped the country!

Now Li Yuan can no longer even give secret funding. His every move will be watched by people from both the government and the public. When someone impeaches him with evidence that he secretly funded these rebellious ministers in South Korea, he will really be unable to defend himself.

Therefore, it was impossible to count on assistance from the Chu State. Zhang Liang could only place his hope on several other countries. However, there was no good news in the letters sent back from Kaidi, who was responsible for sending envoys to the other countries.

Wei Guo is the closest to Han, so the first thing to do is to ask Wei Guo for help.

He did not directly visit the newly ascended Wei Wangzeng, but went to visit the Queen Mother Leling.

King Zeng of Wei was just established, but the new king in his prime did have ambitions. He wanted to inherit the legacy of King Anxi of Wei and continue to revitalize the state of Wei.

But young people are career-minded and ambitious, but they are also prone to collapse after suffering a blow.

The pincer attack between Qin and Chu caused the King of Wei, who had just ascended the throne, to suffer a series of blows. From being full of courage to being indecisive, he no longer expected to continue the career of King Anxi of Wei, but only wanted to preserve the country of Wei.

However, King Wei Anxi also thought of these possibilities before his death, so he handed some of his power to his mother, Queen Mother Leling, the grandmother of Wei Wangzeng.

Queen Mother Leling's courage and means made even King Wei Zhao, the father of King Wei Anxi, often lament that if he were a man, Queen Mother Leling would be the prime minister of Wei.So Kaifangdi chose to persuade Queen Mother Leling first, then to persuade Lord Xinling, and finally these two persuaded King Wei to send more troops to aid Han.
However, when I met the Empress Dowager Le Ling openly, I couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

South Korea and Wei are related by marriage, and this marriage relationship comes from the Queen Mother Leling.

But this marriage relationship is that Han Wangan married the daughter of Queen Mother Leling's biological sister, that is, her niece is the queen, and it is Queen Mother Leling who dotes on Honglian, her granddaughter.

What Wei Zhuang and Zhang Liang started was Han Wangan's rebellion. They took advantage of Honglian to marry Zhang Ji, an important minister of the Qin State, and Han Wangan went to Xianyang to attend the evening ceremony.

You know, when Hong Lian got married, Queen Mother Leling sent a lot of congratulatory gifts, and went to Qin to watch the ceremony in person. At the same time, she also hoped to take this opportunity to get closer to the Qin country that had just negotiated peace, so this in-law relationship brought Naturally, the goodwill that came was gone.

Looking at Queen Mother Leling's frown, she persuaded openly: "Queen Mother Leling, I, the fifth generation of the Zhang family, are willing to bear the name of a traitor? After all, we are here to save South Korea, and we are also for Save Wei!"

"If South Korea is completely controlled by the Qin State, will the neighboring Wei State be able to protect itself?"

"My lips are dead and my teeth are cold, Queen Mother!"

Although Queen Mother Le Ling, a heroic woman in a phoenix robe, also had the foresight and knew that if Korea was destroyed, Wei, which was also located on the east road of Qin, would naturally be difficult to survive, but she still did not agree to send troops to aid Korea.

"I know the truth about the death of lips and teeth, but Wei State really has no power to rescue South Korea." Empress Dowager Le Ling looked bitter and helpless.

Afterwards, Kaifangchi visited Lord Xinling again, but Lord Xinling also rejected Kaifangchi's request to persuade Empress Dowager Leling and King Wei to send more troops to aid Korea for the same reason.

After a secret visit, Kaifeng discovered that Wei's current situation was exactly what the two said. Wei had just experienced an attack from two superpowers, Qin and Chu, and had lost many cities and killed tens of thousands of troops. The country is indeed unable to mobilize the strength to rescue South Korea.

As a last resort, Kaidi, who had hit a wall in Wei, had no choice but to leave Wei and go to other countries to seek help.
