Chapter 1111 It’s a Good Opportunity to Make a Move
On the Qin side, Shao Pingbo also arranged for people to sow discord, making Ma Changan and Tian Zhengyang afraid that Luo Zhao would gain military power and delay the possibility of Qin sending troops to rescue as much as possible.
As for the State of Qi, which definitely wanted to rescue the State of Wei, Shao Pingbo said in the letter that he would find ways to delay the Qi army as much as possible while in the State of Qi, buying time for the State of Jin to conquer the State of Wei. Let the court rest assured about Qi's side, and repeatedly urge the court to urge Yin to eliminate the army.
After reading the letter, Taishu Feihua frowned and said: "Why are these things again? What is this Shao Pingbo doing in Qi State with nothing to do? What is the meaning of being summoned over and over to explain the same thing?"
Tai Shuxiong chuckled: "The role of Yin Chudajun is very important. He repeatedly emphasized that he was afraid that we would be negligent or that there would be interference from other factors within the court. He wanted to attract my attention and ask me to eliminate all interference and guarantee The original plan. What’s more, Yin Chu doesn’t like him a bit. I asked Yin Chu to assist him in military affairs before, but Yin Chu didn’t give the lonely king face. Worried. It’s a matter of success or failure, and you can see that he’s also very nervous.”
Taishu Feihua nodded: "He has too many worries. Let him do his own thing. His actions in Qi are the top priority and cannot be neglected. I have repeatedly told the monks to protect him at all costs." For the safety of Qi State. On your side, the imperial court must also fully cooperate with him."
Tai Shuxiong: "Don't worry, Heishuitai will use all available forces in Qi to cooperate with him, and will ensure the implementation of his plan at all costs."
Taishu Feihua hummed, "I hope his arrangement will make Yin Chu's army march smoothly, and I also hope he can hold off Qi's army. If he can succeed, he will be the first to take the lead in this battle, and he will be rewarded heavily!"
"He must be very happy to hear it." Tai Shuxiong smiled, turned around and ordered: "Tao Lue, please pass the good news to Master Shao as soon as possible to reassure him. Tell him that the lonely king Yin Chu will personally keep an eye on him day and night. I will never relax and let him handle the affairs of Qi State with peace of mind."
"Yes!" Tao Lue took the order and left.
…
The Jin army invaded the territory of the Wei State and was overwhelming. The Jin State finally showed its fangs and the world was shocked!
Information comes and goes from country to country, and the same goes for Nanzhou.
Outside Yingwu Hall, the wheelchair was pushed and Meng Shanming came. Shang Chaozong and others greeted him one after another. Gong Lince, who was standing in front of the map with his hands folded, also smiled and nodded.
Meng Shanming asked without being too polite: "Your Majesty, is there any news from the Qin State? Has it sent out troops?"
Shang Chaozong shook his head and sighed: "Not yet."
Meng Shanming said doubtfully: "I have fought against Luo Zhao. Luo Zhao is quite capable and cannot even see the stakes. Could it be that the guarantee from Yan State is not enough to reassure Qin State, and it is still worried that we will take advantage of it?" enter?"
Shang Chaozong: "That shouldn't be the case. According to the intelligence from spies from Qin and Wei, Qin has agreed to send troops to Wei, but the preparations are slow and delayed."
"When fighting in a large army, soldiers need to be swift and valuable. Luo Zhaohui doesn't even understand this. It seems... that it is probably related to the wrangling in the court." Meng Shanming sighed and signaled to the general who was pushing the chair. He pushed down the front of the map, stared at the map and looked at the back of the formation, and said: "Your Majesty, I will send a message to Qin again, so that Qin can concentrate its efforts to control Xipingguan first. I will send a message to Luo Zhao in my name again, hoping that It can attract his attention and let him urge Qin to take control of Xiping Pass first."
Shang Chaozong's eyes were fixed on the map and landed on the direction of Xipingguan. He thought about it and gradually showed a thoughtful expression.
Gong Linche on the side was confused and couldn't understand what it meant. He tried to ask for advice, "I wonder what Commander Meng meant by this? Xipingguan is in the east of Weiguo, far away from the place of battle."
Meng Shanming stretched out his hand to ask for the command pole and pointed at the map, "Xiping Pass, there is an endless desert above. Monsters are rampant in the desert, making it difficult for the army to cross. Below there are plateaus and mountains across the mountain. Ordinary people can't even breathe when they go up the mountain. Not to mention that it is difficult for large armies to cross mountains. The natural dangers above and below almost block the communication between the Western Three Kingdoms and the Eastern Four Kingdoms. Only Xiping Pass is a thoroughfare that can allow large armies to enter and exit smoothly. Whoever holds Xiping Pass can hold it. Staying on the key road for the three Western Kingdoms to advance eastward and the Eastern Four Kingdoms to advance westward, this is a battleground for military strategists!"
"The style of Jin's attack this time is very different from before. It is obviously prepared. The current situation of Wei State makes it difficult to block Jin's offensive and is in danger."
"Currently, Xiping Pass is controlled by the Wei State. Once the Wei State is completely defeated, the country will be destroyed, and the military morale and morale will naturally be destroyed. How can the mere Xiping Pass garrison guarding the eastern corner of the Wei State continue to defend it? What courage do you have? If you don’t have the determination to defend, the Jin army can capture it in one go."
"I don't believe that the Qin State can't see the consequences of the Jin State being around them. I don't know why the Qin State is procrastinating. Once the Wei State is destroyed, there will be a life-and-death battle between the Jin State and the Qi State. The Jin State is well prepared. It’s hard to predict who will win, and it’s also hard to predict whose hands Xiping Pass will fall into.”
"In short, Xipingguan must not fall into the hands of the Jin State. Once it is controlled by the Jin State, it will be difficult for the troops of the four eastern countries to move west to support it."
"We can't intervene if the Qin State procrastinates, but it is necessary to occupy the favorable terrain first. As long as Xiping Pass is controlled, it will pose a huge threat to the Jin army's offensive. Xiping Pass is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as you are determined By devoting strength to the defense, if the Jin army wants to conquer Xiping Pass and seize the initiative on the battlefield, it will inevitably deploy a large number of troops to attack, but on the other hand, it will also have to fight the Qi Wei, and the dispersion of troops will have a great impact."
"The other thing is that the Jin State definitely does not want the Qin State to participate in the war. As long as the Qin State sends troops to guard Xiping Pass, the Jin Army will not dare to attack the Qin Army rashly."
"The Qin Army is in control of Xiping Pass, which is safer than in the hands of Wei State and Qi State. It can ensure that Xiping Pass is not lost to the greatest extent."
"As long as the Qin army controls Xiping Pass first, it can gain huge strategic space for all countries to maneuver and seize the strategic initiative for all countries."
"As long as Xipingguan is controlled, the Qin army can drag it out."
Gong Lince suddenly realized, nodded and said: "After listening to Commander Meng's words, I was enlightened. Commander Meng is indeed very impressed. But... Xiping Pass is still in the hands of Wei State, so it may not be inappropriate for Qin State to seize it by force."
Meng Shanming: "There is no need to take it by force. The Wei Kingdom is already in this situation. There is nothing else we cannot agree to. As long as the Qin State is willing to send troops, it will put huge pressure on the Jin State and affect the Jin Army's entire combat plan and Weiguo will give up the offensive."
"Your Majesty!" Gong Lince looked back at Shang Chaozong and expressed his agreement with Meng Shanming's words.
Shang Chaozong also nodded, strode behind the case, and began to write a letter to Qin in his own handwriting...
The place was busy with military affairs, and in the courtyard outside, a man and a woman met together.
The woman has a graceful figure and an ugly face. Although the man is not very handsome, he has a sunny face, a tall figure, and a somewhat elegant air.
The man and woman are Shang Shuqing and the man she chose for the garden tour, Fu Junlan, and both families are trying to match them up.
The two have gradually begun to try to date.
"Here we come." Shang Shuqing smiled, gentle and polite, and you could feel Hui Zhilan's restrained heart.
Fu Junlan held up her hands and said politely, "Princess."
Shang Shuqing gave way, turned sideways to say goodbye, and the two of them immediately walked side by side toward the garden of the Governor's Mansion.
"Is it a bit troublesome to come in and be interrogated?" Shang Shuqing asked softly.
Fu Junyi said: "Let's not talk about trouble. The palace is an important military and political center in Nanzhou, and necessary investigations are understandable. However, it seems that the interrogations of people coming and going have been strengthened recently."
Shang Shuqing said in a pleasant voice: "Don't be surprised, Mr. Fu. The Jin Kingdom and the Wei Kingdom are at war. The spies spying on various intelligences have become active. We have to be on guard. It is not against Mr. Fu. I was going out to meet Mr. Fu, so Because of this, my family is afraid that something will happen to me, so they try to avoid me going out in the near future. Mr. Lao is running around alone, so I ask Mr. Fu for your forgiveness."
Fu Junrang Wen Ya smiled and said: "Although I don't understand, I can understand it. I have heard that the princess was kidnapped by people from Zhao State. It is necessary to be careful."
When she mentioned being kidnapped by Zhao Guo, Shang Shuqing was stunned for a moment. The image of someone dying to save herself flashed in her mind. Thinking about it still makes her heartbroken, and her silver teeth bit her lip...
"Why do we have to meet to talk about it?"
In the valley, at the same place, Niu Youdao and Sha Rulai met again. Sha Rulai asked when they met, with a slightly dissatisfied tone.
Niu Youdao: "The state of Jin and the state of Wei are at war."
He had already received news from Yuan Gang about the affairs of Jin and Wei. However, Sha Rulai was not as free as him and it was not convenient for them to meet at any time. It was Sha Rulai who decided when to meet. The two did not meet again until now. .
Sha Tulai: "I know, does it have something to do with your current situation? Can't you just meet me for this matter? It's not appropriate for us to meet often, it's not safe for you and me."
Niu Youdao: "I know, but the war involves a lot and has a great impact. In your opinion, is this war related to the death of Hong Yunfa?"
Sha Rulai shook his head: "It's almost certain that it has nothing to do with it."
Niu Youdao frowned: "How can you see it?"
Sha Tulai: "Piaomiao Pavilion has its own news channels and has a good grasp of the situation. The Jin Kingdom has been planning this war for a long time."
Niu Youdao: "If it has nothing to do with Hong Yunfa's death...According to the information I received from Nanzhou, the Jin State's combat methods this time are very different from the past, and the methods of destruction within the Wei State make me suspect that I have fallen in love with a person, Shao Pingbo! I’d like to trouble you to check it out for me.”
Sha Rulai: "There is no need to investigate this matter. You are right. The pre-war sabotage method against Weiguo was indeed planned by Shao Pingbo. I knew when I was still in Piaomiao Pavilion that Shao Pingbo had been planning it for a long time. It was well planned and should have been implemented a long time ago, but it was interrupted by the events that happened one after another. It is not an accident that it broke out now."
Niu Youdao said in a deep voice: "You already knew this, why didn't you tell me?"
Sha Tulai: "You didn't ask, so how can I tell you everything at once with so many things? Besides, it's not appropriate to tell you in advance. If you find out, you will definitely stop it. This matter of Jin State is extremely confidential. You Once you take action, someone will definitely notice something unusual, and there are people from Piaomiao Pavilion watching over Shao Pingbo."
Niu Youdao raised his hand to stop. What happened has already happened. There is no point in arguing anymore.
He paced back and forth for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly said slowly: "As soon as the Jin State attacks the Wei State, Qi State will definitely join the war. Shao Pingbo's methods will not ignore the head and the buttocks. There is another problem with that fellow. He is often so tired that he vomits blood, and he is also very bold. I suspect that that guy is probably not in the capital of Wei but in the capital of Qi personally taking command. This is a good opportunity to make a move! Do me a favor and go to these two places. Look somewhere, if you find it, help me kill him!"
