Summoning the world to be one

Chapter 225 Qi Wei Alliance
Chapter 224: Qi Wei Alliance
After the court meeting, the huge war machine of the Zhao State military began to turn. A large number of troops and money and food were transported to Bohai County, Qinghe County, and Shangdang County. In order to go south to the Central Plains, Zhao State began to prepare everything very early. The hoarded money and food are enough for 80 Zhao troops to fight fiercely in the Central Plains for three years. This is the confidence that Zhao Guo dared to go south.

Such a big move by Zhao State must not be hidden from Qi State and Wei State. Besides, Qi State and Wei State have already stared at Zhao State to death. I knew it, and Zhao Guo didn't deliberately cover it up.

Qi State and Wei State also began to prepare everything after learning about Zhao State's big move. This is an unprecedented war. Throughout the ages, no country has ever used so many soldiers and horses to fight a big war. Warring States The battle of Changping, the battle of Qin destroying Chu, and the battle of Pengcheng between Chu and Han were not comparable to this battle. Qi and Wei had to use all their strength.

Between the Central Plains and Hebei, there are frequent transfers of soldiers and horses, and Qi and Wei are very aware of their own strengths, and they are no match for Zhao's opponents alone, so these two Central Plains powers have a tacit understanding to join forces. The messengers between the two began to communicate with each other.

Qi State, Linzi, after receiving the news that Zhao State would go south at any time, Wei State immediately sent Prime Minister Ma Rong to come to Zizi to discuss an alliance with King Qi.

"Foreign minister Ma Rong pays homage to King Qi!" In the main hall of King Qi Palace, Ma Rong saluted King Qi.

King Qi smiled and said: "You don't need to be too polite, please hurry up!"

"Thank you King Qi!" After Ma Rong got up, he didn't talk too much nonsense, but went straight to the point: "King Qi, I think you also know the purpose of the foreign minister's visit this time, and now the army of Zhao Guo is going south. My king wants to form an alliance with the king of Qi and reject the Zhao army, what is the king of Qi's intention?"

King Qi didn't care about Ma Rong's directness, but nodded, and said: "Zhao is so powerful that neither Qi nor Wei can resist it. It is reasonable to form an alliance, and the widow naturally agrees. I don't know what your country intends to do. How to cooperate?"

Ma Rong nodded and said: "Back to King Qi, this time the Zhao army went south in three ways, two ways to attack our Wei Dynasty, and the other way to attack Qi State, so my Great Wei Da Sima proposed that you and I should each take their own responsibilities and communicate with each other. , and after repelling all the Zhao armies, we must promptly support the other armies."

What Ma Rong meant was that Wei State and Qi State were each responsible for the Zhao army on their own borders, but no matter which route won, they needed to support other battlefields, and at the same time, the intelligence of the two countries needed to be exchanged.

The King of Qi is also able to accept this. Now that both Qi and Wei countries are facing the attack of 40 Zhao troops, it is not easy to be able to defend their own borders. As for whether there is information exchange, this is a must, even if Wei Guo does not bring it up , King Qi will also ask to do this. After all, Wei State and Zhao State are former allies, and they border more places than Qi State, and there are more ways to obtain information than Qi State. Case.

However, the king of Qi did not agree directly, but said: "I have basically no problems with the alliance strategy and cooperation method proposed by your country, but I have already sent people to Pengcheng to call General Han back to the court, and I will treat you and me. After discussing with General Han, he will give Ma Xiang an answer, and ask Ma Xiang to stay in Linzi for a while."

Ma Rong thought about it, and felt that it was understandable for the King of Qi to do so. The alliance and cooperation between the two countries are a major event. As the No.1 military force of the Qi State, Han Qing's opinion is very important, so he nodded and said: "That's good, The foreign ministers are waiting for the king of Qi's reply in Linzi, and hope that the king of Qi can get rid of the past suspicions and cooperate sincerely with the great Wei."

In fact, after hearing the news that Zhao State would go south at any time, King Qi immediately recalled Han Qing from Pengcheng. At the beginning of Qi State’s first visit to Chu, King Qi asked Han Qing to stay in Pengcheng to stabilize the situation. Now that the great enemy of Qi State is at hand, Han Qing, who is the first commander of Qi State, will naturally come back.

After the Great War in the Central Plains, Qi State destroyed Song and swallowed Chu. In addition to expanding its territory, it also gained a large number of capable ministers and famous generals, such as Li Jiqian, Guan Jun, Hu Yansong, and Zhao Xuan from Song State, and Longchuan and Long Ao from Chu State. , Xiang Wei, Zhang Di, Zong Yuan, Yu Zilong, Cao Jian, Song Yu, Zang Ci, Liu Gao, Chen Ding, Chen Feng, Jiang Zi, etc., in terms of the lineup of famous generals, Qi State is completely worthy of Zhao State. Xin Zhao, the No. 1 general in the world, is too famous, which only leads to Qi Wang's lack of self-confidence.

Two days after Ma Rong came to Linzi, Han Qing also returned to Linzi from Pengcheng. After returning to Linzi, Han Qing immediately went to the palace to meet King Qi.

"Han Qing pays homage to the king, the king is forever!" Han Qing walked into the hall and saluted the king.

"General Han, please get up!" Seeing Han Qing's return, the king of Qi finally let his heart hang. Although Han Qing was not Zhao Xin's opponent in the past, it is undeniable that Han Qing is Qi The Dinghaishenzhen of the country, Qi with Han Qing will not lose, even though the opponent is the No. This is enough to be proud of.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Han Qing got up and said, "Dare to ask your Majesty, is it because of Zhao Guo's affairs that you are in such a hurry to summon your ministers?" Han Qingyuan also knew Zhao Guo's big move in Pengcheng. Materials, even a fool knows what Zhao Guo wants to do.

King Qi nodded and said: "That's right, Zhao Guo's such a big move must be because he wants to go south, so the widow hurriedly called the general back to the court to deal with Zhao Guo."

Han Qing nodded and replied, "I don't know if Your Majesty knows the deployment of Zhao Jun's troops?"

Qi Wangdao: "This time, the Zhao State can be said to have sent out all the soldiers of the country. According to the report of the spies, the Zhao State has dispatched 80 soldiers and horses this time. Among them, Li Rubing, the rookie of the Zhao State, commanded 20 soldiers. Qinghe County, the famous general Zhang Chuan led 20 troops in Shangdang County, and Zhao Xin and Sima Chong led 40 troops in Bohai County."

After hearing this, Han Qing frowned. Zhao Guo's intention this time was obvious. He wanted to bring the two countries together. Thinking of this, Han Qing had to admire Zhao Guo's appetite. It was really big.

"Your Majesty, according to the deployment of Zhao Jun's troops, he is going to attack Da Qi and Wei Guo in one fell swoop. I don't know what happened to Wei Guo?" Now that Zhao Guo has made his intentions clear, it is impossible for Wei Guo to have no movement, so Han Qing will Inquire about Wei Guo's movements.

"The State of Wei has sent envoys to form an alliance with the widow. According to the envoy, the State of Wei has sent General Wei Bu to command an army of [-] troops to Hanoi County. Li Rubing’s troops in Qinghe County, according to King Wei and Pang Kuo’s intentions, Wei Guoguo is responsible for dealing with Zhang Chuan and Li Rubing, and my main opponents this time in Daqi are Zhao Xin and Sima Chong from Bohai. The deployment was explained to Han Qing.

After Han Qing heard this, he nodded again and again. It seems that in the face of Zhao Guo's menacing attack, Wei Guo also showed his last strength, and Wei Guo's way of confronting the enemy is also acceptable to Han Qing. Qi and Wei do not belong to each other. It's more likely to cause problems if you join forces together, so it's best for each to take responsibility, so he said: "That's good, Zhao's 80 troops are going south, and we, Daqi or Wei, can't resist it alone. Only the sincere cooperation between the two countries can defeat Qiang Zhao."

The king of Qi also agrees with Han Qing's statement. The current state of Zhao is really too strong. In fact, the king of Qi regrets it now. , but stepped in and intervened in the battle between Zhao and Yan. I am afraid that it would not be so easy for Zhao Guo to destroy Yan, but there is no regret in the world for selling medicine, and now King Qi can only reap the consequences.

"I wonder if the general has any clever plans to deal with Zhao's attack?" King Qi asked Han Qing.

Han Qing smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's already September, and it's about to enter the depths of winter. Zhao Guo will definitely not mobilize troops at this time. Even if we want to go south, we have to wait until the beginning of spring next year. Time to deploy."

King Qi nodded, because winter is approaching, Zhao Guo will not go south at this time no matter how hard he is, so King Qi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Well, this battle will be under the command of the general. If you need everything, I will satisfy the general even if I do my best in the whole country."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" Han Qing said.

After communicating with Han Qing, King Qi met Ma Rong immediately and told Ma Rong about the alliance. Ma Rong was very happy immediately and hurried back to Puyang.

Zhao Guo's big move and Qi Wei's alliance have touched the hearts of people all over the world. Even Qin Han and Deng Wu, who are in the fierce battle, are paying attention to this matter. After all, this is related to the trend of the Central Plains and Hebei in the next ten or even decades.
