Zhang Liang saw that Wu Qi wanted to lead troops there, so he knew that this matter was inappropriate, no matter what, Wu Qi was a favorite minister of Emperor Chu Yi at the beginning, and now he suddenly wants to lead troops to attack Hengshan, and he must have bad intentions.
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang was frightened, and immediately stepped forward to stop him: "King Qiqi, this matter is not appropriate, I heard that Cao Shen is familiar with the art of war, but he can also lead the troops, so let him try." ” Zhang Liang just wanted Wu Qi to stay in Jiujiang, as for who sent the troops, he just glanced at the hall casually, but Cao Shen could only be half-literate and half-martial in general, and it was okay to lead troops to fight, but there was no major military action.
Who knows that Liu Bang said helplessly at this time: "Cao Shen can be a writer, as for leading troops to fight, I don't see that it is feasible, this matter still needs to think twice, not blindly driven, and please ask Mr. to recommend talents again."
Cao Shen stood in the middle of the column and did not refute, but bowed his head slightly.
But Zhang Liang looked at the hall again, there was no general who was already qualified for the task of attacking Hengshan, and at this time, Wu Qi next to him also immediately said: "King Qiqi, Weichen was under the command of Emperor Yi, and he also led troops to fight, today is just a small Hengshan, don't be afraid, please rest assured that there is no mistake in this matter!"
” Seeing this, Liu Bang was embarrassed to refute, but asked in a low voice: "I don't know how many soldiers and horses you need to be competent for this matter?"
” "King Qiyu, that Hengshan is only a thousand miles away, and only Chencheng can be defended, if Weichen expects it to be good, Gongwei and others will definitely try their best to defend this city, the Qin army is menacing, I thought that Gongwei would send people to explain this matter, and send us to send troops, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone."
When Xiao He heard this, he had some doubts in his heart, and then he came out and said: "King Qiqi, this matter is probably a little inappropriate, if we take the opportunity to capture this place, we will lose the principle of benevolence, righteousness and morality, Hengshan sincerely invites, we still need to do our best to help, if we take advantage of the fire to rob, where is Jiujiang Xinyi?"
” The Zhongqing family bowed slightly when they heard this, although the territory of Jiujiang is wide, but it is still after Qin Chu, if such a thing is done, and the group attacks it, Jiujiang may not be able to last long.
However, Wu Qi had already thought of his rhetoric here, and immediately said: "What is there to worry about the king, but I don't know that Emperor Yi is buried in Chenxian County, and we will march into Chenxian County in the name of protecting Emperor Yi, so there must be no other excuse." ” Liu Bang was very happy when he heard this, "This statement is very reasonable, we were originally to protect the righteous emperor, and now it should be so, and there is Aiqing with 5,000 troops, waiting for the common lieutenant to come for help, otherwise he will not send troops, this is the best policy." ” When everyone heard this, they had no other words, but they had to bow their heads again and again, and said that after receiving the news of Emperor Huhai of Qin, Zang Tu immediately led 30,000 soldiers to cross the chasm and march towards the boundary of Hengshan Mountain.
Along the way, he overcame thorns and thorns, directly occupied half of Hengshan, and was blocked in the north city of Hengshan, this matter still needs to start from the beginning of winter, at this time Gongao has been newly dead for more than a month, into the soil for peace, many government affairs are all taken care of by Sima Yin, Gongwei as the next king of Hengshan, and Sima Yin get along very well.
But Sima Yin is an old minister after all, and he naturally suspects that the lieutenant has a bad heart towards him, so he sent his eldest son Sima Qi to Beicheng as a general to defend the city, and the rest of the sons are all at home without officials, and they are all idle to eliminate the guard of the lieutenant, so that today's harmonious situation has occurred.
When the Tibetan attack reached Beicheng, the news reached Chenxian, when the communist lieutenant had panicked, did not know how to be good, immediately sent someone to recruit Sima Yin, who was sick at home, Sima Yin's official position was slightly higher, and he naturally wanted to go to the official position due to illness.
After the monarch and the ministers finished saluting, the captain's face was still embarrassed, and he said helplessly: "Old father, is it comfortable at home?"
” "King Qiqi, although he is safe and sound, he still thinks about the affairs of the court, but there is no dispute today, why is he in such a hurry, and it doesn't hurt to ask the king to say it directly."
Sima Yin said slowly.
Gongwei picked up a cup of warm tea and carefully sent it to Sima Yin, "Old Xiangfu, you don't know what is going on, now the general of Yan Guo Zang Tu surrendered to Qin, led 30,000 soldiers to take the north city, and will go south to attack Chenxian in the near future, and ask the old Xiangfu to guide you, otherwise the general trend will go." ” "Is that so?"
Sima Yin said with some suspicion.
"That's the case, if it weren't for the eldest brother Sima Qi, I'm afraid Beicheng wouldn't be able to support it for long, and now, the urgent performance has been back three times, all of which are asking for troops to be rescued, but there are only 10,000 horses in the court, all of which have been sent, and 5,000 people and horses have been recruited to guard against Chenxian, so I came to ask my father to discuss this matter."
The lieutenant said weakly.
When Sima Yin heard this, he was very shocked, although he was not yet sixty years old, but his physical strength was still there, so he immediately got up and said: "Don't worry, the old minister can still put on armor to resist the Qin army, and Hengshan is the gateway to Jiujiang, I guess the King of Han will not sit idly by." ” "But the Qin and Han have already married, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
The lieutenant was skeptical.
"Why do you need to say more, at this moment Hengshan is not guaranteed, what is the use of marriage, I don't believe that the King of Han will be this trivial matter, and not help Hengshan, quickly send a messenger to Jiujiang Gaocheng, and explain to the King of Han that he will definitely come to support, now the territory of Hengshan has lost four points, if it does not come, the destruction of the country is not far away."
Sima Yin said very seriously.
Hearing this, the lieutenant also nodded, "For today's plan, this is the only way, if the King of Han does not come, Hengshan will die, but I don't know what the old general will be?"
” "Please also ask the king and my ten cavalry, I am willing to go to the north city, defend the north city with the dogs, and live up to the king's cultivation."
Sima Yin said with a little regret.
"What can Chenxian do about it?"
"The north city is not broken, how can you attack Chenxian County, the king is at ease, Chenxian has soldiers, if the Han comes to help, it will be more worry-free."
After the two discussed, Sima Yin directly led more than ten cavalry to Beicheng, and the situation in Beicheng at this time was tense, but fortunately, the lieutenant sent another 10,000 soldiers, which eased the situation slightly.
Due to the rapid dispatch of troops in Tibet, Hengshan was unprepared, and only lost thousands of people to capture the three cities of Hengshan, only the north city of Hengshan was defended by Sima Qi, 15,000 soldiers in the city, more than 30,000 Qin troops outside the city, including a group of arranged troops, a total of 3,000 people.
Zang Tu camped twenty miles outside the northern city, and he knew that Sima Qi had a small success in using soldiers, so he did not dare to act rashly, and only occasionally sent troops to attack the city, and the stalemate lasted for half a month.
In the camp tent, Zang Tu and the pioneer sat looking at each other, their faces were slightly melancholy, "King, Sima Qi is strong in the northern city, and it is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it has been defended so far, it is very difficult to attack, why don't you go around the city?"
” When Zang Tu heard this, he immediately waved his hand, "This matter must not be, if we go south to attack Chenxian, we will be the turtle in the urn, the terrain here is very unfamiliar, and we need to be cautious." ” "What the king said is very true, and wait a few days to see what happens."
Pioneer said helplessly.
