Chapter 372 Before the Alliance Meeting

In the study room, Qin Gong Ying Quliang stared straight at the doctor Zheng Sheng in front of him, his eyes full of inquiry.

Facing Ying Quliang's gaze, Zheng Sheng pondered for a moment and then revealed his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, after the battle at Jingshui, our Qin State has completely fallen into a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Wei State."

"Even if it weren't for the severe cold in winter, the Wei army's troops would have been heading straight towards Longxi."

"If we fight with the Wei army again at this time, I think Qin will be in danger!"

Zheng Sheng's words revealed the current reality of Qin, but this reality is often the cruelest.

Relying on Longxi, the Qin State is not without the power to fight, but this battle will probably be the war of destruction for the Qin State.

With a heavy feeling in his heart, Ying Quliang walked step by step behind the desk and slowly sat on the seat.

After being silent for a long time, Ying Quliang looked at Zheng Sheng with a little expectation in his eyes.

"Don't I have any other choice?"

As a loyal husband, how could Ying Quliang be willing to bow his head to an opponent who had a blood feud with the Qin State?

But facing Ying Qu and Liang Xiji's eyes, Zheng Sheng finally shook his head helplessly.

"The current situation is that Qin is too weak and Wei is too strong. To use Qin's weakness to fight against Wei's strength is to attack a stone with an egg."

"This time Wei envoy Xu Yan brought Wei's credentials to Qin. It was clearly Wei's intention to stop this war, and you were deceived to seize this opportunity."

"Your Majesty, if we continue to fight, Qin will be in danger."

Zheng Sheng's heartfelt cry did not receive a response from Ying Quliang, and only the pensive face greeted him.

After thinking for a long time, Ying Quliang said with some hesitation: "Master, could this be Wei Guo's other plan?"

"Since it is the Marquis of Wei who invites you to go to the Weishui River for an alliance, there shouldn't be anything strange about it."

"What's more, this alliance on the Weishui River may not be a good thing for Qin."

With a hint of hope on his face, Zheng Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "If your Majesty goes to the Weishui River to form an alliance with the Marquis of Wei, to show your sincerity, the Wei army will not launch a large-scale attack. This will also give my Qin army a chance to breathe."

"Even if the alliance between the two sides breaks up in the future, the soldiers who have recovered more will be able to exert stronger combat effectiveness."

Zheng Sheng's series of persuasion finally made Ying Quliang make up his mind.

Since this is beneficial to the Qin State and the soldiers, what does it mean if he, the Duke of Qin, loses some face?

In order to show weakness to Wei, Duke Xiao of Qin and Ying Quliang in the previous life were able to "respect Wei as king" under Shang Yang's suggestion;

In this life, he also chose to go to the bank of the Weishui River, even though this alliance was not a good thing for Ying Quliang.

"Snapped!"

A crisp voice sounded in the room, and Ying Quliang stood up with only determination in his eyes.

"In the spring of next year, I will personally go to the Wei River to meet with the Marquis of Wei."

"Your Majesty is wise."

The cold winter freezes time, the white snow blocks the road, and there seems to be silence between heaven and earth.

The entire world remained in this silence for several months, until the ice and snow melted, and the earth gradually regained its vitality.

"Drive, drive, drive..."

"Hush!"

On the road from Longxi to Chencang, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded accompanied by a loud sound of horse control.

When he heard the sound from outside, Qin Gong Ying Quliang's carriage slowly stopped, and the curtain on the side of the carriage was gently lifted by his extended right hand.

"Your Majesty, our army is still two days away from Chencang."

At this time, Ying Quliang did not answer the Qin army general. His eyes swept around him involuntarily.

As far as the eye can see, the plains in the distance are so vast, and all of this should have been the territory of his Qin State.

A feeling of loneliness arose in Ying Quliang's heart. He quickly retracted his gaze and slowly lowered the curtain.

"Instruct the entire army to arrive at Chencang in two days."

"Here."



Naturally, the traces of Duke Qin's team could not be hidden from the prying eyes of Wei's scouts, and soon the news appeared in front of the case of Wei Marquis Wei Feng in Yongcheng.

"Okay, okay."

Putting down the scroll of bamboo slips in his hand, Wei Feng's face was filled with an uncontrollable smile.

"Mr. Qin came so quickly."

As he spoke, Wei Feng looked at the important ministers present with a smile, and asked with some pride: "Dear ministers, how do you think our country of Wei should welcome the arrival of Duke Qin?"

"I would like to inform you that sending Wei soldiers is the best option."

As soon as Wei Feng finished asking questions, a somewhat heroic voice rang out.

Everyone present followed the voice and looked, and the speaker was none other than General Pang Juan, who had just led the Wei army to a great victory over the Qin army and occupied the Qin Guanzhong area.

Pang Juan stood up from behind the desk and was in front of Wei Feng in a few steps.

"Your Majesty, I, the soldiers of Wei, are the most powerful army in the world. They are all well-equipped warriors who are victorious in every battle."

"If we use soldiers from Wei to greet Duke Qin, we will surely make him see the power of our Wei army."

"I think it's inappropriate."

As soon as Pang Juan finished speaking, Sima Sun Boling, who was sitting next to him, immediately came to his side.

After giving him a meaningful look, Sun Boling immediately said: "Your Majesty, if our State of Wei intends to annex the State of Qin, of course we will use Wei soldiers this time."

"It's just that your Majesty wants to call off the war with the Qin State. Are the soldiers of Wei too eager to fight?"

Sun Boling's inquiry immediately caused everyone present to think. The use of Wei Wuzu in this situation is indeed not that safe.

So what posture should the Wei State adopt to welcome Qin Gong Ying Quliang who is about to arrive?

After thinking for a moment and still having no clue, Wei Feng subconsciously looked at Situ Gongsun Yangma who did not express any opinions.

"I wonder what Situ has to say?"

"Your Majesty."

He quickly came to the two of them, bowed to Wei Feng in front of him, and heard Gongsun Yang say in a deep voice: "I think Wei Wu soldiers are available, but we can't just use Wei Wu soldiers."

"As the general said, Wei soldiers are the elite of our country and are respected by all the princes in the world."

"As long as Wei soldiers appear on the battlefield, our Wei army will be able to severely defeat the powerful enemy."

"It can be said that the military soldiers of Wei have become the symbol of the military soul of our country Wei. With the soldiers of Wei in our hands, the princes of the world will not dare to underestimate our country Wei."

After clearly stating the importance of Wei's soldiers to the state of Wei, Gongsun Yang continued: "But what Sima said is equally reasonable. Wei's soldiers are powerful in battle, but they lack a touch of gentleness."

After a moment's pause, Gongsun Yang suggested: "I heard that the scholars from Hexi Province have already come one after another when they learned that our Wei Kingdom has conquered Guanzhong. Why don't we join the team to welcome Duke Qin?"
