Chapter 1353: Wei Sends Troops to Aid Zhao
"Your Majesty, you must not do this!" At this moment, a voice sounded in the tent. Yuan Shao looked up and saw that it was Guang Luxun Fengji.
"Oh, why not?" Yuan Shao asked;
Feng Ji stood up and saluted Yuan Shao: "Your Majesty, the State of Zhao has sent people to ask for help. If your Majesty does not send reinforcements but drives away his envoys and spreads the word, Qi will not be looked down upon by all the princes in the world."
"Furthermore, the State of Zhao is now terminally ill and the medicine is ineffective. However, our army is trapped in the isolated city and is in a dilemma. I have a plan that can easily capture the land of several counties for the king." After saying this, Feng Ji looked provocative. He looked at Xu You.

"Oh, are you serious about what Aiqing said?" Yuan Shao was overjoyed when he heard this. He quickly sat up straight and asked Feng Ji;
"My subordinate Qi dares to deceive the king. That is Qi Jun's crime."
"Come quickly!"
"Your Majesty, the fall of the Zhao Kingdom is irreversible. In this case, instead of taking advantage of the Tang Kingdom, it is better for your Majesty to take back all the Shanggudai County that originally belonged to Youzhou."
"How can this be so!" Xu You was shocked when he heard this. If Feng Ji really took the two counties lightly, then his reputation would be far greater than his own. He quickly objected: "Zhao and Wei are allies. If the king takes advantage of the situation like this, , send troops to capture the two counties, how will the people of the world view your king, and how will they view me, the Wei Dynasty?"
"Hey!" Feng Ji looked at Xu You with a look of disdain: "In Mr. Xu's opinion, there is no other way but to send troops to capture it? Could it be possible that Mr. Xu thinks that you can't do it? Others can’t do it either.”
"You..." Xu You was furious and was about to refute, but was stopped by Yuan Shao.
"Two dear friends, don't argue anymore. When you meet your dearest friends, please help me solve my doubts."
Fengji bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, now that Qin Yi has asked for an audience again and again, it is no longer appropriate for your Majesty to make excuses. Firstly, the two countries are allies. If you want to take the two counties into your pocket, you must not lose the hearts of Zhao's officials. Secondly, Come on, it will be difficult to capture Jicheng in the short term, and the Black Mountain bandits have retreated to the west of Tumen Pass."
"Jingxing starts from Tumen in the east and reaches Taiyuan in the east. If Qin Yi knew that the Black Mountain Bandits had defected to the Tang State, he would definitely beg for support from the king. King Jie Shi could hesitate, and his ministers would persuade him again and again before he agreed to temporarily deal with it. If Jicheng is besieged but not attacked, Qin Yi will be favored, and then the king can send General Han Meng to lead 20,000 infantry and thousands of cavalry to Bingzhou for support. "
"The army is marching slowly. After entering Daijun, it can station at Gaoliu and no longer go west. If Zhao people urge it, they will say that they need to wait until the king's army arrives before entering Yanmen. According to my speculation, Zhao should It can't be sustained for much longer. Based on the wisdom of everyone under the command of the Tang King, if the secret betrayal of the Black Mountain Army is exposed, the Tang State will definitely send a large army to attack Taiyuan from Jingjing before Zhao State gets the news. "
"The country of Zhao is already empty of troops. If the Tang army really invades Taiyuan, it will inevitably cause chaos in the country of Zhao. In this case, the country of Zhao will undoubtedly be defeated..."
"Bah!" Yuan Shao heard this, clapped his hands and laughed: "If Taiyuan is captured by the Tang army, Zhao will be destroyed, and Gu Ben can take advantage of the situation to replace the two counties of Shanggu."
"Your Majesty is wise!" Xun Chen on the side also responded: "If Your Majesty takes these two counties, firstly, we can resist the Tang Dynasty's eastward invasion from Yanmen, and secondly, there will no longer be any barrier between us and the Hu people outside the Great Wall. In this way, the war horses we need do not need to be controlled by others. This is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone."
"What Mr. Xun said is true." By this time, Feng Ji had already stolen the limelight. In addition, he had never thought of trading war horses with the barbarians, so he just went along with the flow and quietly praised Xun Chen. By the way, he also got himself an ally against Xu You.
Everyone nearby was overjoyed when they heard this, especially the generals, who were even more excited. Although the Wei State now has tens of thousands of cavalry, except for the tens of thousands of Hebei cavalry directly under Yuan Shao, only the two generals Yan Liang, Wen and Chou have accomplished achievements. organized cavalry,
If the Wei State really opened up the horse trading channel with the Hu people, with the Wei State's wealth, it would only take a few years to expand the cavalry to tens of thousands. In this way, each general would have varying amounts of cavalry in his hands. Which general doesn't like the good deeds.
For a time, everyone in the tent was talking a lot, constantly perfecting some details of the plan for Fengji. Only Xu You, with a pale face, sat aside. He did not expect that what he had planned so hard for several years was only done for others. Wedding dress, but in the end I only got a little profit.
After a while, everyone finally reached a consensus and invited Qin Yi into the account.
As Feng Ji expected, when Qin Yi accidentally got the news that the Black Mountain Army had surrendered to the Tang State long ago, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and then begged Yuan Shao to send troops to rescue the Zhao State.
As Feng Ji said, Yuan Shao was reluctant to agree to Qin Yi's request for help. Finally, when Qin Yi pressed him for help, he revealed that due to the current war in Jicheng, it was really difficult for him to send troops into the Zhao Kingdom.
Seeing that his request for help was in vain, Qin Yi was disheartened and wanted to say goodbye and return to Zhao.
At this time, Feng Ji stepped forward and begged Yuan Shao. Later, Xun Chen also came out to persuade. In addition, after everyone in the tent tried to persuade Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao finally agreed and sent General Han Meng to lead the army now. The tens of thousands of troops still under Juyong Pass continued to advance westward, with Han Meng's army as the vanguard to support Zhao.
As for himself, after arranging the war in Jicheng, he personally led the army and came afterwards.
The performance of the Wei monarch and his ministers really fooled Qin Yi. Qin Yi, who was deeply moved, immediately expressed his willingness to go to Han Meng's army with the envoy who announced the decree to facilitate the Wei army's entry into Zhao.
Afterwards, Yuan Shao issued an order on the spot, and sent Feng Ji as an envoy to rush to Han Meng's army with Qin Yi to coordinate the army's entry into Zhao.
…
Bingzhou, Taiyuan, and Yuci County, as the last line of defense east of Taiyuan, this is the exit west of Jingxing. Although the people of Zhao did not take the Black Mountain Bandits seriously, Chen Gong still deployed thousands of troops in Yuci to defend against the possible attack of the Black Mountain Bandits in the east. Moreover, among these five thousand soldiers and horses, there are two thousand of the most elite infantry of Zhao. Even when he finally drew troops from the foreign territory again, Chen Gong did not move these five thousand troops.
The Zhao general stationed in Yuci was named Han Jing. He was an old soldier of the Bingzhou Army who had followed Lu Bu for many years. He had risen from an ordinary soldier to the position of a lieutenant today. His loyalty to Lu Bu was self-evident.
Since Lu Bu led the cavalry north, Han Jing has stepped up defense. There is a prairie to the north of Zhao State, and the counties north of Yanmen are also good places to raise horses. However, Zhao State's foundation was too poor. After Lu Bu became king, Chen Gong tried his best, but the entire Zhao State was too weak. In addition, several major battles caused Lu Bu to lose a large number of cavalry. As a result, Zhao State now had to first protect the cavalry in Lu Bu's hands. The cavalry in the other city passes and the hands of the generals were very few.
Even so, Chen Gong still equipped Han Jing with 150 cavalry, plus the 50 personal soldiers in Han Jing's hands, and now there were 200 cavalry in Yuci City. These cavalrymen were divided into groups by Han Jing, and they patrolled and guarded the east of Yuci day and night, fearing that the Black Mountain bandits in the east would make any unusual moves.
