Chapter 115 Wang Jian was shocked! Report to the king, a great victory in Weicheng!



Chapter 115 Wang Jian was shocked! Report to the king, a great victory in Weicheng!

The same thought as Wei Wuji.

Gongsun Xi might have felt unwilling that he failed to capture Weicheng and was instead defeated by the Qin army.

But in the final analysis.

This is war.

Everything on the battlefield changes rapidly.

Maybe it’s all because I’m not as skilled as others.

"You don't hate me?"

Zhao Feng looked at Gongsun Xi with surprise.

Although the Wei general looked unwilling at the moment, there was no hatred on his face.

"Why hate?"

"In the final analysis, this battle is lost."

"It's because we are not as skilled as others."

"If you lose this battle, will you feel hatred?" Gongsun Xi said without any sadness or joy.

Hearing this.

Zhao Feng also looked at Gongsun Xi with some respect.

"Although I know what you are thinking, I still want to say something."

"If you surrender, I can spare your life." Zhao Feng said slowly.

Gongsun Xi heard this, but shook his head and smiled: "Thank you General Zhao for your kindness, but the Wei Wu soldiers will die and not live."

"As a general of the Wei Wuzu, I will never allow surrender."

Hearing this.

Zhao Feng nodded: "What's your name?"

"Gongsun Xi." Gongsun Xi replied loudly.

"You deserve to be remembered by Ben."

"It is more worthy for General Ben to do it himself."

"bring it on."

Zhao Feng spurred his horse and stepped into the front of the battle.

"Thank you, General Zhao." Gongsun Xi laughed loudly, then raised his spear, slapped his horse hard, and the warhorse galloped out and stabbed towards Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng also rode forward on his horse.

The Overlord Spear thrust out fiercely.

At the moment when Gongsun Xi's spear was about to stab him, Zhao Feng dodged sideways and easily avoided it, but the spear in his hand directly pierced Gongsun Xi's body.

"cough…"

"I…I lost."

Gongsun Xi struggled to smile, blood flowing from his chest.

“Have a nice journey.”

Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.

He suddenly put away the gun.

Gongsun Xi's life was instantly extinguished.

"Kill the Wei general Gongsun Xi and pick up 30 points of all attributes." The panel prompts.

And looking at the hundreds of Wei Wu soldiers in front of him.

Zhao Feng waved his hand without any hesitation.

"kill!!"

All the Qin army soldiers rushed forward.

In an instant.

The few hundred remaining Wei Wu soldiers were all killed.

"The target is Weicheng. Continue the pursuit."

"This battle."

"If we encounter any enemy troops, we will not spare any of them."

"Chase."

Zhao Feng raised the spear in his hand and shouted loudly.

Then the army pursued northward again.

Entering Wei territory.

At the same time.

Xinzheng.

"Report."

"Urgent news from Weicheng."

An urgent report reached the Xinzheng City County Magistrate's Office.

Meng Yi sat in the main seat, and Li Teng sat aside.

Nowadays, there are constant chaos in Yingchuan County, and the Han nobles are gathering troops to fight against Qin. The two of them also take this seriously.

Hearing the urgent news from Weicheng.

"Has Weicheng been lost?" Meng Yi immediately asked with concern.

Weicheng is the gateway to Yingchuan. Once it is breached, the entire Yingchuan will be in danger.

“I still couldn’t hold it after all.”

"Facing the attack of Wei Wuji with hundreds of thousands of troops, it is impossible for Zhaofeng to defend with only 50,000 elite soldiers and 50,000 surrendered soldiers." Li Teng also sighed.

"General Lee."

"Weicheng has been broken and the gateway to Yingchuan has been lost. We must arrange a large army to defend against the invasion of the Wei army, and then send someone to report to the king for help." Meng Yi said in a deep voice.

"Yeah." Li Teng nodded.

Although they did not see the urgent news, the two of them thought of the loss of Weicheng at the same time. Apart from this, they could not think of any other outcome of the battle.

"General."

"This urgent news is not that the city has been broken."

The urgent messenger said with a little embarrassment.

He came all the way from Weicheng to report. He was a messenger directly under Zhao Feng. Now that Weicheng had been taken, all the soldiers who stayed behind were either cleaning up the corpses or resting.

"The city was not destroyed?"

Meng Yi and Li Teng looked at each other in surprise.

But Meng Yi quickly came to his senses, Li Teng quickly stepped forward, took the urgent report, and immediately opened it.

After seeing the urgent report, their expressions changed instantly: "How is this possible?"

"What's wrong?" Meng Yi asked immediately.

"Let the county magistrate see for himself."

Li Teng passed the urgent news to Meng Yi with a look of shock on his face.

After the latter took it and looked carefully, his expression became exactly the same as Li Teng's.

"Wei Wuji!"

"I actually lost to Zhao Feng."

"The Wei army was defeated by Zhao Feng."

"How was this done?" Meng Yi asked in shock.

"Who is Wei Wuji? How could he be defeated by Zhao Feng? Moreover, he had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength and combat power."

“You actually lost?”

"Zhao Feng."

"I give in."

"I'm really impressed." Li Teng said with emotion.

Just based on this battle, Li Teng was completely convinced by Zhao Feng.

As a general, Li Teng knew clearly that if he were placed in the same position as Zhao Feng, he would never achieve such a victory. Being able to defend Weicheng for a month might be his limit.

But Zhao Feng not only managed to defend, but also defeated the powerful enemy.

"There are outstanding people in every generation."

"I now completely understand what my father said."

"When the king hears the news, he will probably be shocked." Meng Yi said with a smile.

"Yingchuan is safe now."

"After this battle, Zhao Fengdang will take another step forward." Li Teng said with emotion.

Compared to Zhao Feng, he really felt ashamed of himself.

"yes."

"After this battle, the youngest deputy general of my Great Qin will become the youngest main general." Meng Yi also smiled with emotion.

"County Magistrate."

"I wonder if the matter I mentioned that day has been reported?" Li Teng asked nervously.

"I have already reported this to the king on your behalf. As for how you will be transferred in the future, it depends on the king's wishes." Meng Yi said.

"Thank you, County Magistrate." Li Teng immediately thanked him.

Zhao battlefield.

Quyang City.

It has become a scorched earth scene.

There were countless arrows and boulders flying throughout the city of Quyang.

However, under Lian Po's defense, Quyang City withstood the fierce attacks of Wang Jian's army for several days and showed no signs of being broken.

On top of the city wall.

Lian Po, wearing armor, looked at the retreating Qin army calmly.

"How many times have we attacked?" Lian Po asked calmly.

"Reporting to the General, this is the tenth attack."

"But every time Wang Jian attacked, he never paid much price. Instead, he used the strength of the Qin army to shoot arrows at our cities."

"From what we can see now, it seems that he has no intention of forcing the city to break through."

Lian Po's deputy general replied respectfully.

"Wang Jian is no longer just a deputy general under Bai Qi, but a great general under the great reputation of the Qin State."

"He knows that I am good at defense, and he also knows that a strong attack will only lead to heavy losses."

"So they fired arrows continuously to destroy our army's morale and kill our soldiers."

"Although our army did not suffer as much casualties as in a head-on battle, we still lost a lot of people from the arrows in the past few days," Lian Po said slowly.

"Wang Jian gathered in front of the city but did not attack. What did he want to do?"

"Now is the weakest time for Qin. There are only a hundred thousand soldiers guarding the country. Once the king withdraws his troops from Yan and the three hundred thousand troops return, Qin will have no chance." The deputy general said in confusion.

"Obviously."

"Wang Jian's goal is not to destroy Quyang, but to take Quyang." Lian Po sighed.

"Are they going to attack Xiaquyang?" The deputy general frowned.

"Quyang is connected to Xiaquyang. If the latter is lost, Quyang's food supply will be cut off, and eventually the 60,000 troops in our city will be trapped. There is no other way but to withdraw."

"This is Wang Jian's purpose of besieging but not attacking," Lian Po said.

"General, what should we do?"

"Can we just watch?"

"There are less than 40,000 soldiers in Xiaquyang. How can we defend it?" The deputy general immediately became worried.

"From the beginning to the end, I knew I couldn't keep it."

"But for the sake of Great Zhao, we have to defend it."

"If you want to resolve the crisis in our Great Zhao, the only way is for Your Majesty to issue an edict to transfer the army back from the State of Yan."

"I will stay here as long as I can." Lian Po's tone was full of helplessness.

In terms of military strength, he was originally weaker than the Qin State.

It is impossible to defend on both sides.

Hear what Lian Po said.

The deputy general beside him also had a bitter look on his face.

"The king has always been too suspicious of the general. Even now, the king is still too wary of the general."

"But the general is loyal to the Great Zhao." The deputy general said indignantly on behalf of Lian Po.

"I am deeply blessed by the Great Zhao. The reason I am still alive is to protect the Great Zhao."

"If the king is suspicious of me, that is the king's business. I can only do my best." Lian Po smiled faintly and didn't think much about it.

When he saw Lian Po, he said this.

The deputy general could only suppress his dissatisfaction with Zhao Yan in his heart and dared not say anything more.

At this time.

Lian Po asked, "Has the next batch of food and supplies arrived?"

"Return to the General."

"Guo Kai is in charge of allocating food and supplies. Each delivery of food is only enough for my 100,000-strong army for half a month. Now there are only a few days left, but the food has not arrived yet." The deputy general said helplessly.

"Guo Kai."

"He is a treacherous villain."

"It has come to this, and you still dare to delay the delivery of food and fodder." Lian Po also scolded angrily.

He has always looked down on Guo Kai and has always been quite targeting him. This is why Guo Kai is full of resentment towards Lian Po.

"Admiral."

"He just delayed it, but he didn't stop it."

"Obviously, he is also worried that the defense will be affected because of the food and grass issue. If that happens, the king will definitely punish him severely."

"That's right. We have no reason to report Guo Kai." The deputy general said distressedly.

"alright."

"Let's keep pushing."

"Food and grass must not be cut off. Of course, we must also give strict warnings."

"If the issue of food and fodder affects our army's defense, I will personally go to the king and impeach Guo Kai." Lian Po said in a deep voice.

"I obey your command." The deputy general responded immediately.

"I don't know what the current war situation in Korea is like."

"If Lord Xinling can lead his army to conquer Han, it will surely cause trouble for the Qin army, and I will have more time." Lian Po thought with some anticipation.

"Lord Xinling and the general are both world-famous generals. They can easily break through a border town guarded by a young Qin general." The deputy general said in a flattering and confident tone.

"I hope so."

Lian Po nodded, his eyes thoughtful: "Qin general Zhao Feng is from the Qin logistics army. Since he joined the Qin main battle camp, he has never been defeated. I wonder what his ability is?"

And in front of Lian Po was the Lantian military camp.

"Admiral."

"I just received a military report from General Wang Ben."

"The time has come. We will launch an attack on Xiaquyang tomorrow." Yang Duanhe reported to Wang Jian respectfully.

"Tell Wang Ben."

"Attack with all your strength. Once Xiaquyang is conquered, you will immediately mobilize your troops to attack Quyang."

"Just wait for Lian Po to withdraw his troops and pursue him all the way."

"We must not let him form a defensive posture again." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.

"I obey your command." Yang Duanhe replied immediately.

"Lian Po is good at defense, but he is short of troops. A frontal attack would be tantamount to wasting the lives of his soldiers. I will hold Lian Po back while Wang Ben takes Quyang."

"Even if Lian Po understood, he could do nothing about it." Wang Jian smiled faintly.

once Upon a time.

He had already studied how to deal with Lian Po. The only solution was to play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses.

This is the key to victory over Lian Po.

"Lian Po is old, and meeting the general is his last battle." Yang Duanhe said with a smile.

"I don't know what the battle situation in Yingchuan is like."

Wang Jian suddenly spoke.

Compared with his own attack on Zhao State, he was confident and at ease.

What Wang Jian was more worried about was Yingchuan.

Once Yingchuan is lost, all the efforts will be in vain.

"Report."

"Urgent news from Weicheng."

Just as Wang Jian was worried, a soldier with urgent news rushed into the tent.

"Urgent news?"

Wang Jian felt uneasy.

But his expression was very calm.

Unlike Meng Yi and Li Teng, they did not immediately think that Weicheng had fallen.

"Show it up."

Wang Jian said in a deep voice.

The urgent reporting soldier immediately submitted the military report.

Wang Jian took it and immediately opened the seal to take a look.

Suddenly.

His expression became extremely strange.

After reading it.

"Hahaha."

"Zhao Feng, this kid really surprised me."

"I didn't expect it. I really didn't expect it."

"Wei Wuji was once famous, but he suffered such a defeat here."

Wang Jian was shocked and laughed heartily at the same time.

There was a sense of pride and excitement in his voice.

There is also a sense of relief and ease.

Weicheng!

He no longer had to worry about the danger of losing the city.

"General, you are so happy. Is there any good news from Weicheng?" Yang Duanhe asked curiously.

"Read it for yourself." Wang Jian laughed and handed the military report in his hand to Yang Duanhe.

During this process, Wang Jian never stopped smiling, and even felt relieved.

His son-in-law did not disappoint him.

Not only did he defend Weicheng, but he also took risky tactics and defeated the Wei army.

Even Wei Wuji, who was famous throughout the world, was defeated by him.

Yang Duanhe took it and took a look.

His expression immediately became one of surprise and shock.

"General Zhao Feng actually defeated the Wei army, and Wei Wuji led his army to escape back to Wei."

"In the battle of Weicheng, nearly 100,000 Wei soldiers were killed."

"Our casualties were only over 30,000."

"Wei Wuji actually lost to General Zhao Feng?"

"How is this possible?"

"That's Wei Wuji, how could he lose just like that?"

Yang Duanhe said in great shock.

Obviously.

He never expected such a victory.

He never expected that a new deputy general of his Great Qin could actually defeat the famous Wei Wuji.

This is like an unknown young general defeating a victorious general who has rarely suffered defeat.

"Soon."

"Zhao Feng's name will spread throughout the world."

"Wei Wu Ji was once very famous, but I never thought that he would fall into such a state when he was in his seventies and become a stepping stone for the new forces of our Great Qin." Wang Jian said with a big laugh. He was really happy from the bottom of his heart at this moment.

"indeed."

"Wei Wuji has become a stepping stone for General Zhao." Yang Duanhe nodded.

"original."

"All I thought was that as long as Zhao Feng could hold Weicheng and prevent the Wei army from advancing, everything would be fine. But it has only been a short time, and he actually gave me such a big surprise."

"This kid really didn't disappoint me."

"Weicheng has been captured, and the Wei army has retreated."

"No one in the court dared to criticize Zhao Feng anymore, and no one dared to mention the evils of the prisoner army again."

"This battle is sufficient to prove that the strategy of using convict soldiers is feasible. It can also prove that our Great Qin will have another measure to strengthen its national strength in the future." Wang Jian said with a big laugh.

"What the general said is absolutely right."

"This prisoner army really shines under General Zhao's command. This battle can really shut up those people in the court who have been criticizing the prisoner army."

“That’s not all.”

"The discussions in the court about the general's firm recommendation of Zhao Feng to guard Weicheng will also stop." Yang Duanhe also laughed.

"Send this army back to Xianyang as soon as possible and report to the king."

"Now that Yingchuan is no longer in danger, it's time for Your Majesty to rest assured." Wang Jian said with a smile.

"Someone come."

"Immediately send this army back to Xianyang as quickly as possible and report to the king." Yang Duanhe immediately shouted.

Response.

A messenger directly under the general's camp came quickly, respectfully put the general's report into a bamboo tube, and immediately left the tent.

"Admiral."

"I am also guilty."

At this time, Yang Duanhe suddenly bowed to Wang Jian.

"What crime has General Yang committed?" Wang Jian asked in surprise.

"That day I also said that Zhao Feng was not capable of guarding Weicheng, and I even thought that General Zhao would not be able to withstand Wei Wuji's attack in a short time. But now it seems that I was too short-sighted." Yang Duanhe replied respectfully.

"General Yang, your words are too harsh."

"Don't say you have doubts. All the ministers in the court have doubts about this."

"Even this general is the same."

"But the situation in my Great Qin is like that. There is no other way except to trust Zhao Feng." Wang Jian said with a smile.

"This is the general's unique vision." Yang Duanhe complimented.

"Now that we have received the news of Weicheng first, I believe that Zhao State will also get it soon. Perhaps, Zhao State's 300,000 troops will be recalled soon." Wang Jian said in a deep voice.

“So before Zhao’s 300,000 troops are transferred back, our army must defeat Lian Po. Only in this way can Zhao be destroyed.” Yang Duanhe said in a deep voice.

"Report."

"Admiral."

"A letter has arrived from your house."

The commander of Wang Jian's personal guards came into the tent, holding a bamboo slip in his hand.

"A letter from home?"

Wang Jian was stunned for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and took it personally.

After opening.

Wang Jian also smiled: "In less than a month, Yan'er will be born. This is good news."

"After we defeat Zhao this time, we must finalize the marriage with Zhao Fengjiang."

"I just don't know whether Yan'er will give me a grandson or a granddaughter."

Come back to your senses.

Wang Jian handed the letter to the commander in front of him and said, "Find someone to deliver it to Zhao Feng."

"promise."

The commander of the personal guards immediately took it and quickly retreated.

Yang Duanhe standing by was surprised: "This is a letter from the general, why is it given to General Zhao Feng? Could it be that General Zhao is?"

Looking at Yang Duanhe with surprise and strange eyes.

Wang Jian immediately understood what he was thinking.

Nothing more.

He probably thinks Zhao Feng is his illegitimate son.

"He is my future son-in-law." Wang Jian said directly.

"What?" Yang Duanhe was shocked. "General Zhao... General Zhao is actually the general's son-in-law? This... I have never heard of this."

Perhaps the real Yang Duanhe doesn’t know this.

On that day in the court, when Zhao Feng was engaged to the daughter of the Wang family, the eldest son of the Wang family was involved.

Fusu's proposal of marriage failed, and then Zhao Feng, a deputy general, won the favor of the daughter of the royal family. This was a shameful thing for Fusu, and the ministers in the court naturally did not dare to talk too much about it. Matters involving the royal family must not be spread randomly and must be handled with extreme caution.

Therefore, the affair between Wang Jian's daughter and Zhao Feng was not widely spread except among the ministers in the court.

"Soon the world will know."

"The King once said so."

"As long as Zhao Feng can defend Weicheng, I will issue an imperial decree to grant a marriage between Zhao Feng and my daughter."

"Now the enfeoffment of Zhao has been completed. After Zhao is destroyed, there will be an imperial decree to grant the marriage." Wang Jian said with a smile, very happy.

Yang Duanhe immediately clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations, General. The king has granted me the marriage. This is a great honor."

"And I heard that the king even gave the princess to General Wang in marriage."

"If we can get another marriage, the general's family will all receive the king's favor."

Wang Jian smiled and was very happy.

A marriage granted by the dynasty is the greatest honor of a marriage. It is enough to be able to do so.

"Zhao Feng has already defeated the Wei army, and it is more difficult to defeat the enemy than our army. He is facing an enemy force that is several times larger than ours!"

"Our two main camps cannot fall behind." Wang Jian said very seriously.

"I understand." Yang Duanhe replied immediately.

"Go and arrange it."

"Start the real attack at any time." Wang Jian waved his hand.

"Yes." Yang Duanhe bowed and left the tent.

After he left.

Wang Jian's serious face instantly turned into a smile, and he picked up the battle report from Weicheng again.

“This kid.”

“It really didn’t disappoint me.”

"That old bastard Wei Wuji actually lost to him."

"With such military achievements, if he continues to do so, he will probably be the youngest general in the Qin Dynasty one day."

"Yan'er's vision is indeed correct."

"It's worth it for me to risk offending the eldest master and this marriage will be successful."

"Hahaha."

Wang Jian held the battle report in his hand and couldn't help laughing again.

Time is passing! Xianyang.

Compared to the war between Zhao and Yan, the capital of Qin was peaceful. In addition, many merchants from Zhao and Yan came here to escape the war, which made Xianyang unprecedentedly prosperous.

Today, wars are raging everywhere in China.

As a powerful country, the Qin Dynasty was also able to protect its people from war.

In the Qin Palace, inside the Court Hall.

Since the Qin Dynasty launched an attack on Zhao, the original three-day meeting has been changed to a two-day meeting.

"Your Majesty."

"I have received the memorial from General Li Teng of Yingchuan. Within a month, the chaos in Yingchuan County can be completely quelled." Wei Liao said loudly.

"It seems that the chaos in Yingchuan County is not too serious."

"The provocations from Zhao and Wei did not have much impact."

"Li Teng is very good." Ying Zheng praised him out loud.

If the troops in Yingchuan County are included, the Qin army has mobilized a total of 450,000 troops this time. This is a lot of troops, and the daily consumption of food and grass is huge.

Among the three routes of military action, Ying Zheng was most worried about Yingchuan.

"Your Majesty."

"The focus now should still be on the Weicheng Gate in Yingchuan County."

"I am still worried whether Zhao Feng can hold on."

"I think we should issue another strict order and have Zhao Feng step up his vigilance."

"If Weicheng is damaged, severe punishment should be imposed." Wang Wan stepped forward and spoke loudly.

"I second the motion."

"There is no need to worry too much on the battlefield of Zhao State. The only thing to worry about is Weicheng."

"This punishment must not fail."

"Once Weicheng is broken, Wei Wuji will lead his army straight in, and our Yingchuan County will be in danger." Chunyu Yue also immediately agreed.

Soon after, some court officials echoed the sentiment.

Obviously.

These people seem to be acting in the public interest, but in fact they are targeting someone.

“This matter.”

"I have already told the general."

"Once there is a change in Weicheng."

"The general will make the decision."

"Two hundred thousand troops from Hangu will also be dispatched." Ying Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Wang Wan shouted loudly, and then said: "The situation in Weicheng is unclear now, but the report that Zhao Feng left his post that day may be true. I think we should send a war supervisor to supervise Zhao Feng and prevent him from making trouble."

"Although this boy was promoted due to his military merits, he is still too young and lacks steadiness."

It was at this time.

"Report."

"An urgent report from General Wang Jian concerning Weicheng."

An expedited messenger came running in from outside the hall, and looking at the anxious attitude, it seemed that something really big had happened.

When I heard it was Weicheng, I reported it urgently.

Wang Wan immediately shut up and looked at the messenger with a hint of sneer in his old eyes.

"This kid is in trouble." Chunyu Yue raised his head, smiling smugly in his heart.

When his eyes met Wang Wan's, they both felt a sense of gloating.

Although Chunyu Yue acted rashly and sometimes Wang Wan could not dissuade him, he was Fusu's teacher after all, and Wang Wan, as a staunch supporter of Fusu, naturally had to protect him.

Wang Wan naturally knew about Zhao Feng beating Chunyu Yue's disciples. Since he couldn't win him over, he had to find a way to suppress him.

"How is Weicheng?"

When he heard it was Weicheng, Ying Zheng frowned and immediately asked loudly.

now.

What he was most worried about was Weicheng.

"Your Majesty."

"Urgent report from the General."

"Great victory in Weicheng."

The messenger held up the urgent report from Weicheng with both hands and shouted excitedly.

Upon hearing this.

Wang Wan and Chunyu Yue's expressions changed and they looked at the messenger strangely.

"Great victory in Weicheng?"

“What’s going on?

“Why call it a great victory?”

"Could it be that Zhao Feng has defended Weicheng?" Wang Wan and Chunyu Yue thought to themselves.
