The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Zhao State Court

Zhao Yu happily said to all the ministers: "Everyone, Qi has agreed to come to rescue Zhao State, and Wei State has also fallen into Zhao State's divisive plan. Now Wei State has at least 50,000 new soldiers. What do you think?"

Prime Minister Tai Chengwu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although Wei State has changed its soldiers, their 30,000 Wei Wuzu have not been transferred. As long as the Wei Wuzu are still here, it will be difficult for Zhao State to defeat the Wei army head-on."

Zhao Yu smiled and said: "Prime Minister, do you have any way to defeat the Wei army? I don't want to cede those territories to Qi."

Tai Chengwu was persuaded: "Your Majesty, you must do what you promised to other countries. This is about trust. If a country has no credibility, no matter how powerful it is, it cannot gain a foothold in this world."

Zhao Yu really didn't want to cede territory to Qi State, and some changes had occurred in the Wei army. Didn't this give Zhao State an opportunity?

Then he asked the military advisor: "Military advisor, now there are some changes in the Wei army, what are your ways to defeat the Wei army?"

Fei Yi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, now, Wei has besieged Handan for several months, and the food and grass in the city are running out. We can send people to Jinyang and mobilize the troops of Jinyang and Handan to attack from both sides and defeat the Wei army in one fell swoop! Even if we can't defeat the Wei army, we can take advantage of the chaos to transport some food and grass to Handan!"

"Okay! Just do as the military advisor says!" Zhao Yuling said.

Wei Army Camp

At this time, Gongzi Ang was drinking depressedly, thinking about who he had offended. He seemed to have never offended anyone in the court, and who was framing him. He drank one bowl of wine after another.

Seeing him drinking so much, the deputy general Baning tried to dissuade him, saying, "General, drinking too much will hurt your body."

Prince Ang put down his wine and said bitterly, "I, Wei Ang, have listened to my mother since I was a child. I am honest and upright. I have always remembered my mother's teachings. I never conspire with others, and I never associate with those villains. I have been an official for many years and have served the State of Wei sincerely. I have never dared to slack off. Now, I have never offended anyone in the court. Who framed me?"

After thinking for a while, Baning said, "General, Since he is not a member of the imperial court, could it be a plot by Zhao to sow discord? "

Prince Ang was shocked and said, "It is possible! I guess Zhao must have sent people to spread rumors in Daliang, saying that I might establish myself, which led to the king's distrust of me! Zhao, I swear to destroy you!"

But Baning was very confused and said, "But I don't remember Zhao having such an intelligent person."

"There is one. I think there is only one person with such intelligence and foresight in Zhao, Fei Yi!" Prince Ang said.

"Fei Yi?"

"Yes! It's him! There are three pillars of Zhao. Zhao Ke is good at training troops and deploying formations, Prime Minister Tai Chengwu is good at internal affairs, and Fei Yi is good at strategy. What a plot to sow discord, it actually exchanged 50,000 soldiers from my hands!" Prince Ang took another sip of wine.

Baning suddenly felt a sense of dangerHe said, "Now half of our army has new soldiers. I'm afraid the enemy will take the opportunity to attack us. General, we should be prepared immediately."

Gong Ziang laughed and said, "Although Fei Yi's plan is good, it's a pity that he is too cautious. He will definitely not dare to take advantage of the opportunity. He will definitely find a way to break through our encirclement first, contact the Zhao army outside, and attack our army from both sides with the soldiers in Handan."

Ba Ning said anxiously, "General, if the Zhao army gets the report, our army will be in danger."

"But it's okay. We can use the enemy's trick against us. Here's the map!"

"Yes."

Gong Ziang opened the map, observed it carefully, pointed to a place and confirmed, "The enemy must go to Jinyang to ask for reinforcements after breaking through, so as to attack our army from both sides."

"Why not Zhongmu?" Baning asked.

Gong Zi Ang looked towards Handan and said, "Because the Zhongmu defenders lost more than half of their troops last time to prevent our army from crossing the river, they can no longer provide many support. On the contrary, the Jinyang troops are sufficient, and the Jinyang troops are the most elite troops in the Zhao army. Naturally, they will call on the Jinyang troops to come to support. We can do a..."

"General, a great plan!"

Inside the city, Fei Yi said to Tai Chengwu, "Prime Minister, I will lead 500 cavalry out of the city to Jinyang later. We will mobilize the Jinyang troops to support us. Please lead the troops to cover our army's breakout."

"Don't worry, I will mobilize the most elite troops to help you break through, but how many days will it take for the reinforcements to arrive this time?" Tai Chengwu asked.

"15 days will be enough. Prime Minister, please send a large army out of the city to fight with the Wei army at the agreed time, so that the Wei army will focus on the troops in Handan. I will lead the Jinyang troops to attack the rear of the Wei army, and the Wei army will be defeated!" Fei Yi said.

"Okay, can we leave the city now?"

"Okay."

Report~~"General, the Zhao army went out of the city and took the opportunity to attack our army's barriers. They are about to break out."

After hearing this, Gongzi Ang pretended to be very anxious and gestured to his deputy general Baning. Baning immediately said: "General, I will lead 3,000 Wei Wuzu to prevent the Zhao army from breaking out!"

"Okay! Then I'll leave it to General Baning."

After a long time, Baning walked in with a timid look on his face and said in a low voice: "General, the enemy broke out. Our army suffered nearly a thousand casualties, the Wei Wuzu suffered no losses, and the Zhao army also suffered more than a thousand casualties."

"What! I transferred 3,000 to you, but the Wei Wuzu didn't stop the Zhao army from breaking out? How did you command! Come on, drag Baning out and beat him with a stick 100 times!" Gongzi Ang ordered.

The generals around him begged for mercy for Baning: "General, forget it. General Baning has fought for Wei for many years and made great achievements. The soldiers love General Baning very much. Please take back your order."

After thinking for a while, Gongzi Ang said seriously: "Baning! You are lucky this time, but you should be punished with 30 strokes of the cane."

Tai Chengwu was observing the movements in the Wei army camp on the tower and found thatThe general of the Wei army who had just stopped them from breaking out was being spanked by several soldiers with a stick. He thought, "I thought the Wei army let us out on purpose, but it seems that's not the case! I hope Brother Feiyi can bring reinforcements here soon."

Gong Ziang entered the tent and immediately knelt down and said respectfully, "Thank you, General Baning. If this self-torture plan succeeds, you will be the first to win! I'm very sorry."

"It's okay. This was originally agreed upon by the two of us. Zhao will suffer enough from now on." Baning smiled.

After three days of travel, Feiyi finally arrived in Jinyang. Seeing that he was one of his own, the Jinyang garrison commander Le Li quickly opened the city gate.

Fei Yi jumped off his horse and said immediately: "I am the envoy of the King of Handan. All the soldiers in Jinyang are under my command. This is the military token."

Seeing that it was a military token, Le Li hurriedly bowed and said: "Greetings, General."

Fei Yi asked: "How many soldiers are there in Jinyang?"

"There are more than 40,000 people. If we recruit civilians, we can get 50,000." Le Li replied.

"Okay, I will take 30,000 people to support Handan. You are responsible for collecting food and grass, and take 5,000 people to go to Handan with me." Fei Yi ordered.

"Yes!"
