In Daliang City, in the meeting hall, Wei Prime Minister Gong Sun Qi and guard Zhai Kai stood side by side in front of a map.

Looking across the cities in front of him, Zhai Kai immediately stepped forward and placed his right index finger directly on Daliang City.

"Xiangguo, since our army started fighting with the Chu army, although the Chu army has been attacking rapidly, it has been unable to break through our Daliang city defense."

"Now we, the State of Wei, are negotiating peace with the State of Qi. Once successful, the Chu army will not last long."

Zhai Kai's analysis of the current battle situation made Gongsun Qi gently nodded, "So based on the current battle situation, how do you think our army should respond?"

"As a warning to the Prime Minister, I think that since the war is about to end, our army does not need to cause trouble."

Moving his right hand along with the words, Zhai Kai immediately replied in a deep voice: "It is better to guard Daliang City strictly to ensure that our army is invincible."

After Zhai Kai finished explaining his countermeasures, Gongsun Qi had already made a judgment in his mind. He was too cautious but not aggressive enough.

After guarding Daliang City, an important town in the Wei state, for many years, Zhai Kai became increasingly cautious due to his confrontation with the powerful southern state of Chu.

It was this kind of caution that allowed Zhai Kai to protect Daliang City without any worries, even when faced with tens of thousands of elites led by Chu State Commander Yin Zhaoxixie.

It's just that at this moment of transition between offense and defense, Zhai Kai's aggressiveness is not enough.

After realizing Zhai Kai's shortcomings, Gongsun Qi also came to the map in a few steps.

My eyes moved eastward from Anyi on the map to Linzi, and finally landed on Daliang.

"Does General Zhai Kai think that if Wei and Qi make peace, Chu will retreat without a fight?"

"Exactly, Prime Minister, I..."

Before Zhai Kai could finish his words, Gongsun Qi's voice continued, "What if the Chu State does not retreat?"

"Then our army should unite with the army of generals who are about to arrive at the front line and deal the heaviest blow to the Chu army in front of them." Facing Gongsun Qi's question, Zhai Kai's face immediately showed full of fighting spirit.

"Well said!"

After looking at Zhai Kai with admiration, Gongsun Qi's gentle but powerful voice immediately sounded, "General, one hundred thousand troops are about to arrive in Daliang, and the war situation has been controlled by our country Wei."

"Whether it is war or peace, the initiative lies entirely in the hands of our Wei army."

"If the Chu army does not retreat, our army can completely use its superior strength to destroy it."

After analyzing the current battle situation in Daliang, Gongsun Qi's gaze began to expand until it covered the chess game called Tianxia.

"Actually, even if Chu will withdraw from this war soon, this Chu army is destined not to stay for long. I also hope to be able to severely damage it."

Gongsun Qi's muttering to himself immediately aroused the curiosity of Zhai Kai beside him, and a confused voice sounded in the room.

"Xiangguo, this..."

Zhai Kai's doubts brought Gongsun Qi from his inner thoughts back to reality, and a sharp edge immediately appeared on his face.

"After this war against Qin, the threat to the west of Wei State has been basically eliminated."

"The Qi State in the east faced two offensives by the coalition of princes and lost a large amount of land and population. Its national strength has already suffered heavy losses."

"As for the State of Zhao among the Three Jins, although it has obtained huge benefits from the State of Qi through this battle, it will take a long time for it to become stronger."

After eliminating all the forces in the world that could threaten Wei, Gongsun Qi turned to the south with a somewhat solemn gaze.

"Looking at the world today, the only country that can compete with our Wei State is the Chu State."

After finishing his words, Gongsun Qi's eyes returned to Zhai Kai who was standing aside, "Now that we know that Chu is destined to become our opponent of Wei, how should you choose, General Zhai Kai?"

At this time, Zhai Kai, who was standing in front of Gongsun Qi, still didn't understand the meaning of what the other party had just said, and a firm look immediately appeared on his face.

"The last general, Zhai Kai, is willing to lead his troops to fight for the Wei State against the Chu Army."

"color."

There was a cheer, Gongsun Qi looked at Zhai Kai and said: "I have seen General Zhai Kai's intention to fight for the country, but this time he does not need his soldiers to fight."

With a cold light, Gongsun Qi's faint gaze looked to the northwest.

…

"Xilulu..."

The neighing of war horses sounded from time to time.

"Drive, drive, drive..."

The sound of the driver urging the horse could not be heard without stopping.

"Tap tap tap..."

The footsteps of soldiers echoed across the road.

On the plains, amid the smoke and dust as the army marched, Wei General Pang Juan, who was sitting on a chariot, silently watched everything around him.

Compared with the massing towards Jingshui last year, the army under his command now is completely different in terms of combat strength and morale.

The battles with the Qin army sharpened the skills of the soldiers, and the heroic expansion of territory boosted the morale of the army.

Now leading this elite force that can be said to be completely reborn, Pang Juan believed that the Chu army was no match for him.

When confidence gradually appeared on Pang Juan's face, a burst of rapid horse hoofbeats suddenly sounded in Pang Juan's ears.

"Report to the General, the military order of the Prime Minister of Daliang City."

Pang Juan took the silk book from the hand of the messenger and quickly unfolded it, his eyes constantly moving between the seal characters.

Just for a moment, a look of admiration appeared on Pang Juan's face.

"As expected of the Prime Minister."

As soon as the thought fell, Pang Juan put away the silk book in his hand, and the fighting spirit in his eyes quickly condensed.

"Here comes someone."

"General."

The left hand holds the long sword at the waist, and the silk book in the right hand serves as a whip pointing far south.

"The army took advantage of South Korea and accelerated its march towards the south."

"Follow orders."

As the messengers left, Pang Juan's orders began to be quickly spread to the entire army.

The Wei army, which was originally headed for Daliang City, began to change direction and advance towards the south.

The Chu army outside Daliang City did not notice the actions of Pang Juan's army. At this moment, the Chu army's camp was still full of calm.

"I am reporting to your Majesty, General Zhaoyang, to ask for an audience."

Accompanied by a powerful voice, Zhaoyang, dressed in armor, appeared in the Chu army's central tent.

Today, Zhaoyang has lost his former immaturity, and the training in the military camp has gradually made him mature.

Hearing the voice from the front, Zhao Xixie looked up at his outstanding grandson, and his eyes returned to the map in front of him.

"How is the situation of the Wei army in the city?"

Facing his grandfather's inquiry, Zhaoyang gave an answer that was almost the same as before: "I have reported to Ling Yin that the Wei troops in the city are still stationary, no different from before."

"No difference?"

After muttering to himself, Zhao Xixie seemed to notice something amiss in the seemingly ordinary battle situation.

"Obviously the war situation has changed drastically, but the Wei army has not taken any action. This is the biggest unusual thing."
