Chapter 28 Good news comes
Since he led the army to attack South Korea, Gongsun Qi, as the general, has always followed one word.
The word is "quick".
First, before the Korean army could react, the Wei army quickly captured South Korea's Huangchi south of Jishui.
Immediately afterwards, Gongsun Qi decisively led the Wei army across Jishui and relied on a strong attack to capture Pingqiu, the outpost of the capital city.
Before the Han army received the battle report of Pingqiu's fall, the Wei army, under the command of Gongsun Qi and Pang Juan, successfully ambushed the reinforcements from Shouyuan City midway.
After that, relying on the internal and external cooperation inside and outside the city, the Wei army easily captured South Korea's last and most important Shouyuan City north of Jishui.
At this point, in less than half a month, Gongsun Qi and the 40,000 Wei troops under his command had captured all the land north of Jishui, South Korea.
After completing all this, Gongsun Qi's troops did not stop their offensive, but decisively chose to turn around and go south to cross Jishui again.
After another fierce battle, the Wei army finally entered Hufu City.
Wei State, Hufu.
Standing on the top of the city, Gongsun Qi, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, looked far into the distance and took in all the distant scenery.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from behind Gongsun Qi, and then a familiar voice appeared in his ears.
"Informing Sima, our army has completely taken control of Hufu City, and the general has ordered the soldiers to strengthen their vigilance."
After the voice fell, a kind look appeared on Gongsun Qi's face, and his admiring gaze fell on the face of the visitor.
"Pang Juan, thank you for your hard work."
"Pang Juan dare not say the word "hard work".
Looking at Gongsun Qi who did not hide his admiration in front of him, Pang Juan felt great respect in his heart.
Although Pang Juan was confident that he would be able to carve out a career among the princes of the world with his own talents, the trust given to him by Gongsun Qi undoubtedly allowed him to rise to prominence in a very short period of time.
At the same time, Pang Juan also admired Gongsun Qi's military talents from the bottom of his heart in just half a month.
Pang Juan still remembers that his teacher Gui Guzi once told him before he left school that the world is far broader than he imagined.
From Gongsun Qi in front of him, Pang Juan felt that what the teacher said was not wrong.
At this moment, Pang Juan only had one thought in his mind, which was to follow Gongsun Qi and use battle after battle to improve his talents and gain his reputation.
Gongsun Qi and Pang Juan, one was full of admiration for the other, and the other was full of respect for the other.
A faint tacit understanding gradually emerged between the two of them. When they looked at each other, a little smile appeared in their eyes.
He gently stretched out his hand and patted Pang Juan on the shoulder, saying nothing.
Soon after, a fast horse galloped out of Hufu City.
After crossing the beam, crossing the river, passing through enemy territory, and heading west along the Zhiguan Road, the fast horse finally arrived at the land east of the Wei River.
…
The night gradually deepened, and people who had been busy all day gradually fell into a deep sleep. Only a few lights remained in Anyi City.
In the back hall of the Wei Palace, the lights emitted a faint light, and a black shadow fell straight on the wall.
With the help of the dim lights in front, Wei Wei, the Marquis of Wei, was reviewing the memorial in his hand.
At this moment, after a few cases, Wei? On the surface, he seemed to be calm, but his somewhat too fast writing speed still showed some unrest in his heart.
What Wei Wei was worried about was nothing else but the war that was raging on the front line.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current war is directly related to the future of Wei.
Once the war does not go as planned, Wei may lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and Wei's next plan will not be implemented.
For such an important war, even though he had seen too many turmoils in his previous life, Wei? could not help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
However, as the Marquis of Wei and the monarch of the Wei State, Wei Xiu knew very well that he could not express this uneasiness, because his actions or words might affect the hearts of the entire Wei State.
With no other choice, Wei? could only immerse himself in official documents, hoping to suppress the unrest in his heart with his busyness.
Just when Wei Wei was holding an ink pen in his hand and writing quickly on the bamboo slips in front of him after a few cases, a burst of footsteps appeared beside him.
Gently placing the tray in his hand on the side of the table, the visitor slowly walked behind Wei? and placed his hands gently on his shoulders.
When a hand appeared behind him, Wei Xi tensed up instinctively at first, but when the familiar touch came, he slowly relaxed.
After finishing handling the scroll in his hand, Wei?'s eyes moved slightly and landed on that somewhat familiar face.
"Madam, why are you here?"
"It's late at night, and your Majesty is still dealing with state affairs. I saw that your Majesty was really working hard, so I made some meat soup and brought it over."
He gently grabbed Zhao Yi's right hand with his right hand. Looking at the other person's face that exuded hazy beauty under the light of the lights, Wei?'s eyes slowly showed a bit of love.
"Madam, thank you."
"Your Majesty and I have been married for many years, and there is no need to say such words." Zhao Yi looked at Wei? There was a burst of determination in Zhao Yi's eyes, "Although I don't know about state affairs, I also know that husband and wife should support each other."
"If you have any troubles, don't keep them in your heart. I am willing to be your son."
The words Zhao Yi uttered and the firm look on his face immediately moved Wei?
With a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
With the thoughts in his mind at this point, Wei? He held Zhao Yi's right hand tighter and tighter, and his eyes looking at her became even more tender.
After a while, Wei You drank the meat soup in one gulp and then returned to the state of handling the letters. As for Zhao Yi, he stayed with Wei You very quietly.
Just at this moment, a rush of footsteps appeared outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
With the shouts getting closer and closer, an eunuch appeared in front of Wei?, and with him appeared a battle report from the front line.
After receiving the battle report and unfolding it gently, Wei?'s eyes began to move quickly on it. The more he looked at it, the excitement in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
"Hahaha……"
A burst of hearty laughter appeared in the back hall, and then he saw a brush stained with cinnabar on top of several cases brought up by Wei?
With the excitement in his heart, Wei? quickly came to a map in the apse.
Looking at the mountains and rivers in the middle of the map, Wei? suddenly raised the brush in his hand, and a circle suddenly appeared on the map.
The northernmost point of this circle is Yecheng, an important town north of the river of Wei State, and the southernmost point of this circle is Daliang City, the core city of Wei State south of the river. What is included in this circle is what Wei State currently occupies in the Central Plains.
territory.
Originally, there was still an enclave of South Korea in this circle, but now this enclave that was firmly attached to the Wei State's territory has been uprooted, and the Wei State's land in the Central Plains has been more closely integrated.
Staring at the circle in front of him, Wei?'s face was filled with a bright smile.
