Chapter 5914: Persuading to Surrender (Part 1)
After occupying the two realms, it can be said that the most important step for the army to advance eastward. After occupying this place, Ning Lin only stationed for three days, and then directly killed Park Jin-won in public, leaving Lee Kwang-hoon to guard the rear and led the army to advance eastward.
A few days later, the army entered the city of Enze County and began to march towards Weishan City.
Wei Kang was still in Weishan City at this time, but when he learned that Ning Lin was coming towards Weishan City, he did not defend himself, but chose to take the initiative to retreat with the remaining soldiers.
A few days later, less than 30,000 remnants of Wei Kang and Jiang Heng, who led an army of 200,000, merged in Wenshui.
While the army gathered, Jiang Heng also had an additional law enforcement team. This team directly took down Wei He, who was still in the army, and sent people to the back. Wei Shan became the only military supervisor here.
Compared to Wei He, Wei Shan, the former crown prince, showed his advantages at this moment. Although he had read several military books, he would never interfere. He would leave all the war to those who could fight.
Because Wei Kang was defeated before, Jiang Heng became the head coach, Wei Kang was the deputy head coach, and soon established a defense line in Wenshui and directly gave up the place west of Wenshui. It was just that because the time was too short, it was impossible for the people's finances to withdraw, so the troops could only be asked to withdraw first.
When Ninglin's army entered Wenshui County, about 300,000 people gathered in Jiangdong, and Ninglin had about 400,000 troops in his hands, and the two sides confronted each other in Wenshui.
This battle can be said to directly determine the future of Wei. If Ning Lin is defeated, then the previous advantage may be ruined. If it is a small defeat, it may still be able to divide the Great Wei into two with the Wenshui River. If it wins, the Great Wei will also change the world.
Choosing here to fight has a great advantage for the Wei State, that is, at least most of the soldiers and horses in Ning Lin are not good at water warfare, and the Wenshui navy is in the hands of Wei State. Although the Wenshui is not particularly open, the Wenshui has a natural advantage, that is, it cannot cross the river in winter, and even if the upper river surface is frozen, it is thin ice and cannot carry the troops and horses.
In this way, only water battles were achieved. This is why Wei Kang retreated here directly after he was defeated. Jiang Heng was not so urgent to cross the river.
In fact, in the eyes of the two, what they need to do now is to stabilize the situation. At least in the eyes of the two, it is highly likely that the Wei Dynasty will split into two, and this is probably what Da Xia is most willing to see. After the split, the two sides will be enemies of each other for at least a few decades, and Da Xia can safely return to his former transcendent position again.
It is almost winter now, and the water is cold in winter, which is the most unfavorable for water wars. This is another advantage for the Wei army.
At this time, Ning Lin sent an envoy to cross the river, and the person who crossed the river was nothing but Wei Kang's most valued nephew Wei Huang.
Wei Huang passed through Wenshui with great pride. After coming here, Wei Kang was a little surprised, but he could only meet Wei Huang with Jiang Heng and others, and Wei Shan was naturally present.
When Wei Huang walked into the tent of the coach and saw his uncle, Jiang Heng and others, Wei Huang gave a simple bow and shouted to Wei Kang: "Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time. Uncle was defeated before. I have been worried about your body. Now I feel relieved when I see it's okay."
"Forget these polite words, just tell me what you are going to do." Wei Kang said a little embarrassedly.
Wei Huang nodded and said, "Ship Ning's meaning is very simple. If Shuai Jiang is willing to fight with him, he can be named king in the future. The three counties of Chu will be the fiefs of your Jiang family."
When Jiang Heng heard this, his heart trembled slightly. He knew very well that this was to let himself guard the State of Chu. Although the place was not big, it was only because of this that it was trustworthy, and because only guarding the three counties in Chu was the place that Ning Lin was really willing to cut off after seizing the world.
"General Wei, do you think this marshal will agree?" Jiang Heng asked back.
"Sir Ning just doesn't want your 300,000 troops to suffer too much loss. If you agree, then you are the king of those three counties. If you don't agree, those three counties can only be returned to Chu. Chu will send an army of 300,000 to head north, led by Old Marshal Qu Xiong himself. Wei will definitely be defeated by then. But in this way, you know that it will be unfavorable to the future, and your Jiang family may have to be completely removed from the list." Wei Huang said politely.
Everyone knows that Lin Haoming is in Chu State, so there are still 100,000 troops left in the south to guard the Chu army, but the question is, can those 100,000 people block the Chu army?
"General Wei, how dare you ask Ning Shuai why he wanted to rebel?" Wei Shan stood up and asked. At this time, he was also shocked and angry, but he still maintained etiquette.
"Your Highness and the other person ordered to kill the second highness?" Wei Huang asked.
"Of course I don't." Wei Shan denied it.
"Did Your Highness do that?" Wei Huang asked again.
"I asked him, and he said he didn't, I believe it." Wei Shan said.
"Since there are not two of the most suspicious Your Highnesses, who did it? It can't be Ning Shuai, right?" Wei Huang asked again.
"Ship Ning is loyal to his second brother. Since that's the case, why should he rebel again?" Wei Shan asked back.
"Your Highness actually knows in his heart that the second prince is probably killed by your father. If he dies, you two have been deposed, and the sons who can threaten his throne will be gone." Wei Huang said it directly.
"Even if I fight with the fourth brother, I can't threaten my father."
"You really have no ability, because you have no military power, but the Second Prince is different. You may not know that before this, we had secretly vowed to be loyal to the Second Prince and help him seize the throne. If that person does not allow it, we will force him to give in. Except for the Second Prince, we will not accept it. This is the reason why your father wants to kill people. Since we are not loyal to him, we can also clearly know what the next king who is good at scheming will do." Wei Huang helped straighten out the things that many people can't understand.
After hearing this, Wei Shan felt trembling all over, because Wei Huang's words could not tell anything false. He really felt that it was his father who took action. He attached the most importance to his throne and would never want to see someone threatening him, even his son.
"Your Highness has nothing to say? Your Highness, Ning Shuai is also very clear about your personality. So if the State of Wei is gone, as long as you don't think about the so-called restoration of the country, you can spend the rest of your life as King Qing before." Wei Huang said.
"Ship Jiang, will you be that king?" Wei Shan seemed to be out of attention at this time and looked at Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng is also in chaos at the moment, and he doesn't know how to choose.
