Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 282 Benefits Are the Most Important (Part Two)
In three days, many special envoys sent by the state of Wei rode to Linzi, Handan and Pengcheng, urging the three countries to send troops to rescue Pingyang.

After receiving the emergency call for help, King Zhao Xie wanted to raise [-] troops immediately to attack the northern part of the Great Qin Empire.

However, the acting king Chen Yu insisted not to act rashly, and should send troops at the same time as Qi Chu, otherwise, if Qi Chu does not move, Zhao Guo will be in a dangerous situation.

For a while, Zhao Wangxie suddenly woke up, and immediately changed his mind. While agreeing to send troops, he sent special envoys into Qi to find out Qi's real intentions.

Because of the annihilation of Changshan Kingdom, Zhao Wangxie turned against Xichu.At this time, he could only seek the opinion of Qi Wang Tianrong, and dared not go south to Western Chu.

It's just that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu, pointed at Qi State with his sword and smashed twelve cities in a row.There may not be enough power to rescue the Western Wei Dynasty.

This is the world of great controversy, and this is the friendship of the Plastics Alliance of all countries in the world.Under real threats and pressure, no one will be sincere.

For careerists, only interest is the key to moving people's hearts, and the covenant is nothing but waste paper that can be torn up at any time.

This is the world of Warring States, this is the world of great struggle!
……

At the same time, Wei envoy An Feng has also arrived in Pengcheng, Long and the special envoy of Wei Guo stabilized, and Xiang Ta immediately came to see his father Fan Zeng.Now that Xiang Yu is going north, his father Fan Zeng is respected in the Western Chu Kingdom.

……

After Hangu Pass, the queen of the world, Fan Zeng repeatedly dismissed any high position in the Western Chu Kingdom.

But Xiang Yu is a nostalgic person, he still retains Fan Zeng's military division title, and built an eight-in-one mansion specially for him according to Taiwei's specifications.

This mansion is the most revered mansion in Pengcheng, except for Chu Palace.Xiang Bo used to have greedy eyes and itchy heart, but he didn't dare to act rashly.

This Bajin mansion, given by Xiang Yu himself, represents absolute status and glory in Western Chu.

The right cross courtyard of the military division's mansion is a garden of more than ten mu of land, with dense bamboo forests, and a small pond with clear water, among which there are all kinds of rockery and stone pavilions, making it extremely quiet.

Later, Fan Zeng built several thatched huts in the bamboo forest, and spent most of his time in this garden. Instead, the mansion in the main courtyard was empty, and was only used for receiving guests.

Since returning to Pengcheng, Fan Zeng has lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with officials. Except for Xiang Yu who appeared in the palace when major issues were unresolved, he would immerse himself in the study in the hut, or carve or read.

Fan Zeng is the planner of Xiang Yu's hegemony, the overlord of Western Chu. He knows that the current situation will go according to the plan.There is no need for him to set foot in the court, for him, it is not the time yet.

In Fan Zeng's plan, when he set foot in the court, it would be the time when Xiang Yu would sweep away thousands of troops.

……

When the elder Jia brought Xiang He and Long Qie to the garden, Fan Zeng was drinking tea in the hut.The two hurriedly bowed deeply towards Fan Zeng, and said, "Xiang Ta, Long has seen Yafu—"

Fan Zeng smiled: "There is a change in the court, you have time to come to the old man, and you all sit down-."

Seeing that the old man had already withdrawn after serving tea, Long Qie sat down and cupped his hands and said, "Qin's army has already attacked Wei in a big way when it came east, what can Yafu teach?"

Hearing this, Fan Zeng was not surprised at all. He knew that now that Xiang Yu went north to Qi State, the order of the world on the Central Plains was being provoked.

At this moment is the opportunity for Qin Jundong to go out. Qin Guoyou Wei Liao and Tongwu Hou Wang Ben will definitely seize this opportunity firmly.

Fan Zeng smiled lightly, and said, "It is inevitable that Qin's army will go east. First, although Wei is large and has a large army, it may not be stronger than Qin's army."

"Secondly, the distance between Qin State and Pingyang is only more than [-] miles, and Hedong County is a huge threat to the natural danger of Hangu Pass. Thirdly, this time, Qin's army is going east to take Hedong and Sanchuan, perfecting the loopholes in the natural danger of Hangu Pass, so that Qin is based on an invincible position."

"With these three points, Western Chu State must send troops to save Wei, and be able to defeat Qin State again, laying the foundation for Western Chu's great success. However, we must not rush to send troops." Although Fan Zeng didn't think about it, he was well-organized.

Long Qi and Xiang Ta nodded knowingly: "Yafu thinks, how should the timing of sending troops be determined?"

Now that Xiang Yu is no longer in Pengcheng, they can only rely on the decision of their sub-father Fan Zeng.For this, Yafu Fan Zeng is also very clear.

Normally, he didn't even take half a step out of the mansion.But now that Xiang Yu is going north to attack Qi, he has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the Chu court's decision.

Because he knows Xiang Bo's incompetence!

"Based on the old man's prediction, although the Wei State has only [-] troops in Pingyang, it is enough to fight the Qin State for about one month. At the same time, when the Wei army in Daliang, Shangdang, and Taiyuan returns to the division, it is enough to fight the Qin Army for about March."

"After three months, when the state of Wei was exhausted, and the Qin army suffered heavy casualties, when the time comes for Xichu to dispatch, it will be a great victory."

"Let's use Yafu's plan to enter Wei after three months." Long Qi and Xiang Ta heaved a sigh of relief: "In this case, Long Qi will restore the Wei envoy according to this!"

……

Wei Guo's special envoy arrived at Longqie to prepare food and grass, and immediately went north to rescue Wei's affirmative reply. He didn't dare to stay at all, and rushed back to Wei Guo Liang at night.

Because Daliang is the closest place to Pingyang, he had to mobilize Daliang's army to go north to Pingyang for rescue, and at the same time release well-trained homing pigeons into Pingyang.

He knew that if the news could not be spread immediately, the hearts of the Pingyang army and the people would collapse, and the reinforcements would not arrive at all.

Since Pengcheng is thousands of miles away from Hedong County, it is possible to go back and forth in a short time.When the news came, Pingyang had tenaciously resisted for more than a month.

Since January, more than [-] Wei soldiers and civilians have been killed or injured. The soldiers of the country are exhausted and their morale is gradually declining.Seeing that the city was in danger of being destroyed, a dark cloud shrouded the hearts of Wei Guojun and his ministers.

Longdu received the letter from the pigeon, and immediately announced to the army and people in Pingyang that the Chu army would send troops to rescue soon.For a while, the soldiers and civilians in Pingyang saw hope, and their morale rose again.

The monarchs and ministers of the Wei State knew well that due to the preparations of the State of Wei in advance, the food, grass and weapons in Pingyang City are sufficient at this time.

Long Du looked at the brightly lit Qin army camp outside the city, and ordered decisively: "Prime Minister, immediately conscript all men under the age of 40 and over the age of 15 in the city as soldiers."

"it is good!"

At this moment, Wei Yue had no other choice.The news came from the carrier pigeon that the reinforcements of the Chu army will soon go north.Even Daliang's reinforcements would take two days.

They have to persist for two days, only in this way can they see hope.

"Come here, immediately enlist the men under the age of 40 and over the age of 15 in the city!" Wei Yue gave the final order with his heart churning.

"Wei—" the officials of the prime minister's mansion strode away.

……

At this moment, no matter whether it was Wei Wangbao, General Longdu, or even Prime Minister Wei Yue, they subconsciously ignored one point, that is, why the Daliang garrison has not moved for a long time after a month has passed.
