Chapter 1179: Besiege Wei to Save Zhao

If King Yong really had thousands of troops, why would he need Wu Yi to come out? He could just send a Chinese person to handle the matter. The reason why many people refused was because they had no troops and the risk was great.

In fact, King Yong did not have no troops. As Lord Zhao said before, the rest of the troops were fighting hard and could not be transferred for a while, so they were in a relatively short supply of troops.

In the middle of the night, thinking of the possibility that he might have made a serious mistake this time, causing huge casualties and losing the opportunity to compete for the throne, King Yong was both afraid and unwilling. He even thought about going into battle himself, relying on his own prestige to command the army and reverse the situation in one fell swoop.

However, as soon as this idea was proposed, it was suppressed by others. King Yong could not be the emperor, so they could just change to another one. If King Yong died, they would be buried with him, so they would naturally suppress it.

And the fact that Prince Yong was in Liuchen County meant that Liuchen County had to have thousands of princes and guards to protect Prince Yong. Otherwise, if the enemy sent a detachment to attack Huanglong and capture Prince Yong alive, not to mention Prince Yong, the entire Daji Dynasty would lose face.

Although this possibility was not great, after all, if a small country did this, it would be a real fight to the death. Once the emperor launched the war machine, the small country would perish, and those military leaders would not be able to protect them.

Prince Yong led a large number of personal troops and was likely to perish, let alone others?

This almost impossible thing, this thing that everyone rejected, could only be the turn of Wu Yi now. Some people were picking up Prince Yong and asking Wu Yi to sign a military order to avoid being convicted in the future.

Prince Yong hesitated a little. After all, he knew how dangerous this trip was. Wu Yi seemed to be angry. He took the military order very tactfully, and then bowed to Prince Yong and strode away. He didn't want to stay here for a moment. These people had no ability to make suggestions, but they had a lot of ability to find fault with others.

There is no perfect thing in this world. It is just a matter of weighing the pros and cons. It is okay to think that Wu Yi has selfish motives when proposing to save Zhao by attacking Wei, but this method is definitely better than rescuing Wen Conglong directly.

In fact, this suggestion has been proposed to King Yong before. It is not a rare strategy for the ages. Anyone who has read some military books and history books can think of it. It is just because he is worried that it may lead to the annihilation of Wen Conglong's army that King Yong said he would think about it.

Wu Yi's identity is black, so black. Hasn't he been blackening himself recently? There are too many lice on his body, but it doesn't itch.

Anyway, everyone knows that the two are not in harmony, and others still want to save face.

When Wu Yi left the city, the sons and daughters of the Chen family had gathered outside. There were not eight hundred, including the servants, at most one hundred, not as neat as the regular army, but armor, weapons and war horses were all complete, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was half of the Chen family's assets.

In fact, if there were really 800 fully armed private soldiers, King Yong would have already started to deal with the Chen family.

Not long after, with the order of King Yong, another big family, the Liu family, also sent a hundred people to join Wu Yi's team, with a similar composition to the Chen family.

Finally, before dark, each family contributed ten people and I contributed five people. If it was still not enough, some guards from the neighborhood were selected, and finally 800 people were gathered.

The clothes were strange and the weapons were different. Fortunately, they all had horses, one horse for each person, but Wu Yi did not have the ability to equip them with multiple horses.

King Yong looked at the scene in front of him on the top of the city, his brows furrowed. If you were King Yong, I believe you would have the same expression. Can such an army really besiege Wei to save Zhao? King Yong had no idea at all.

Prince Yong said to his attendants: "From my guards, send 2,000 cavalrymen to Chen Yan!"

The attendants hesitated, but Prince Yong nodded, and they had to agree. You know, the cavalrymen around Prince Yong totaled only about 2,000 people. This time, Prince Yong almost gave all the cavalrymen to Wu Yi.

These 2,000 people are both helpers and monitors, and the people present know it well.

With 2,000 guards of Prince Yong joining, Wu Yi bowed to Prince Yong from a distance, did not stop, and hurried on the road late at night. Now the front line is urgent, and there is really no time to waste.

It's just that those who are left behind and lost at night, and even worse, they directly became deserters at night. In addition to the 2,000 guards of Prince Yong, there are nearly 100 fewer 800 private soldiers. Although 30 or 40 people joined the team one after another after dawn, the others are estimated to be unable to keep up with the team.

With such a high rate of escape, Wu Yi's face naturally couldn't be much better. Since the expedition, his expression has been tense, like an iron man, silent. In two days, he rushed nearly a thousand miles and came to Hengchuanling, which is the border area. If he hadn't brought thousands of troops, he could have done it within a day.

The team was extremely tired, Wu Yi ordered a rest. After hearing the order, many people fell asleep as if they had been pardoned, snoring incessantly. On the battlefield, there are all kinds of environments. Being able to sleep is the happiest thing. If you can't sleep, you have no energy to fight. Once the war starts, you will be the first to die.

However, the guards of King Yong are okay. After all, they have been following from Zhongdu City. They were selected from thousands of troops and have excellent physical fitness. After hearing the order to sleep, they basically fell asleep smoothly. The other private soldiers had all kinds of problems. They tossed and turned, and walked listlessly.

If the King of Yong had not allocated another 2,000 men, it would be hard to imagine how this group of private soldiers could be used to achieve the strategic goal of "Besieging Wei to Save Zhao".

After letting this group of people sleep for three hours, Wu Yi urged them to set off again. Many people complained, but they were forced to set off under Wu Yi's "tyrannical power".

The whip whipped in the air, making a shrill sound of breaking through the air, which made people shudder. If it whipped on the body, it would cause redness and swelling at the least, and skin and flesh would be torn apart at the worst. Some strong people could be whipped to death with one whip.

"Sir, if you want to go to Sanchuankou, you should take another road!" The guard leader came forward and said to Wu Yi.

"When did I say we were going to Sanchuankou? Before we left, didn't Your Highness tell you that we were going to attack Wei to save Zhao?"

"Please allow me to report. In my opinion, if we go straight to the capital of a small country, even though it is a small country, the capital must be built in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With a thousand people, it will be difficult to conquer it in a short time. It is better to stay around Sanchuankou so that the enemy dare not annihilate our army!"

Wu Yi was a little interested in this man and asked, "What is your name?"
