When the State of Wu launched a war of annihilation against Han and Wei, the monarchs and ministers of the State of Qi who were far away in Linzi could no longer sit still and hurriedly discussed the matter of sending troops.

On the one hand, King Lu Ren of Qi sent envoys to the four kingdoms of Song, Lu, Yan, and Zhongshan to invite all countries to join forces. On the other hand, he appointed left prime minister Tian Heng as general and Bao Mu as deputy general to immediately send troops to rescue Wei.

As for South Korea, it is beyond the reach of other countries and it is impossible for other countries to rescue it in time.

After Tian Heng received the king's order, he came to the camp outside Linzi City and used the tiger talisman to mobilize his troops and generals.

In the Battle of Huanshui last year, all the elite troops of Qi State were lost, and almost 200,000 troops never returned.

Even after the Qi State destroyed Wei, its national power suffered serious losses that were difficult to make up for.

No, in the huge camp, there are not many young and strong Qi soldiers. Instead, there are mostly gray-haired old men and childish teenagers...

This made Tian Heng very discouraged.

How could Qi's army defeat Wu's tiger and wolf troops?

Isn’t that going to die?

"Tianzi, give the order."

Bao Mu beside him urged.

Tian Heng nodded and gathered all the soldiers of the Qi army on the school field.

Qi State came out empty-handed and could not even gather 80,000 people!

What to do?

How to fight Wu Jun?

Tian Heng narrowed his eyes, then raised the tiger talisman in his hand and said loudly: "Second and Third Son, I, Tian Heng, have been ordered by the king to swear an oath to go out and send troops to rescue Wei!"

"In this battle, we must defeat Wu Division and avenge our previous humiliation!"

"..."

As soon as they heard that they were fighting against Wu's tiger and wolf divisions, all the soldiers of the Qi army were trembling with fear and very frightened.

After all, even the Qi soldiers who had never fought against the Wu army knew the tragic situation of the Battle of Huanshui last year.

Many of their fathers, brothers, sons and nephews have not returned to their homeland, and their lives and deaths are uncertain. It is not known whether they died in the battle or were captured alive by the Wu army.

The Wu army's undefeated record and illustrious reputation made the Qi army unable to muster much fighting spirit.

In view of this, Tian Heng gritted his teeth and said: "The second and third sons, the Wu people are also raised by their mothers and fathers, and they are also made of flesh and blood! They are not invincible!"

"How can I, a great Qi warrior, be as fearful of the enemy as a tiger?"

"Now, listen to my orders!"

"If father and son are together in the military camp, the father will return home!"

"Brothers who are in the military camp together, brothers will return home!"

"It's for the orphans at home to stay in the camp!"

"promise!"

Many soldiers of the Qi army breathed a sigh of relief.

…

The capital of Wu Kingdom, Xianyang.

At this time, Qing Ji was summoning Han Buxin, the king of the country, in his spare time.

It was the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and Han Buxin was resettled in Xianyang after his country was overthrown.

Qingji also specially gave him a fine mansion, a large area of ​​fertile land, and other gold, jade, silk, and flowers that made Han Buxin proud.

"Han Hou, how are you living in Xianyang these days?"

Qingji asked with great interest.

Han Buxin replied: "Thanks to your Majesty's care, I am well clothed and well fed, and my life is very comfortable."

"Do you still miss Korea?"

"I am happy here and don't miss Korea."

"Hahahaha. Han Hou, you are really a wonderful person. It would be great if Wei Jun was as knowledgeable as you."

"The Kingdom of Wei... also died?"

Qing Ji nodded slightly and said, "We just got good news. Wu Zixu led his army to break through Daliang, and Wei Ju hanged himself."

"..."

Han Buxin couldn't help but keep silent, and his face turned pale with fright.

Wei Ju is full of blood and will inevitably do such impulsive things.

Compared to the sensible Han Buxin, who surrendered with almost no resistance, Wei chose to rise up and resist, but in the end could not escape the end of destruction.

However, in order to win people's hearts, Qingji could still find a direct descendant of the Wei family, establish him as "Marquis of Wei", and give him a settlement of 500 households to express his feelings.

Naturally, this kind of treatment cannot be compared with Han Buxin.

After all, Han Buxin surrendered on his own initiative.

Han Buxin's son, Han Geng, was quite bloody. After the wild king was captured, he couldn't bear the pain of the country's subjugation, and finally found an opportunity to draw his sword and commit suicide.

Now that both Korea and Wei have been destroyed, Qingji can be said to have made up his mind and has no worries anymore.

Qingji comforted Han Buxin for a few more words, then left his residence and held an impromptu court meeting in Chongzheng Hall.

"Two or three sons, now that both Korea and Wei have been destroyed, I want to establish counties in Han and Wei."

"For the land of Han, Hanoi County was established; for the land of Wei, Wei County was established."

"Wen Zhong, you immediately send capable officials to Hanoi County and Wei County to take office. In addition, let merchants enter Hanoi County and Wei County to sell and store grain, and sell the grain to feed the people of the country."

"promise!"

Dazai Bunzhong agreed immediately.

This is understandable.

Wu State went through a trade war, which forced the common people of Korea and Wei to delay their spring plowing and forged weapons to sell.

Due to the economic blockade of the State of Wu, the common people who had no food left at home could not buy food even though they had money. They were already hungry, just like victims of a disaster.

Now, Qing Ji asked merchants to sell grain in the newly established Hanoi and Wei counties, and the price must be quite high.

In order to survive, the local Li Shu also had to use their previous money to buy grain to survive.

In view of this, Qingji will consider opening a warehouse to release grain and help refugees.

But, definitely not now.

After all, in a trade war, Wu State paid a lot of money.

After adding Hanoi County and Wei County, Wu State now has a total of thirty-five counties, namely: Wu County, Kuaiji County, Jiujiang County, Sishui County, Minzhong County, Lujiang County, Cangwu County, Nanhai County,

Xiang County, Guilin County, Nan County, Nanyang County, Yuzhang County, Qianzhong County, Dian County, Jiaozhi County, Hanzhong County, Hengshan County, Wuling County, Sanchuan County, Huaishui County, Ba County, Shu County, Chang'an County,

Shangjun, Longxi County, Hedong County, Yingchuan County, Shangdang County, Jibei County, Qinghe County, Hengshan County, Taiyuan County, Hanoi County, and Wei County.

In ancient times, the north of the Yellow River was called Hanei, and the south and west were called Hewai.

The Hanoi County of Wu State is located southeast of Taihang Mountain and north of the Yellow River.

There are probably more than ten cities such as Yewang, Yangzhai, and Heyang, which are similar to the Hanoi County of the Qin Dynasty in history, but with the addition of the ancient city of Yangzhai.

As for "Wei County", it is located in the Dangshan and Juyeze area, which is equivalent to Dang County in the Qin Dynasty, and is very similar.

"I have just received an urgent report that 80,000 troops from Qi, Song, and Lu were stationed in Taoqiu. They originally wanted to send troops to rescue Wei. However, they were hesitant because Wei fell too quickly."

Qing Ji squinted his eyes and asked: "Do you think the second and third sons will continue to march eastward and start a war with the three eastern kingdoms?"

For other countries, this is really embarrassing.

The combined forces of Qi, Song, and Lu only amounted to 80,000 people, while Wu State could easily mobilize an army of 300,000 to 400,000 to march further east at any time.

The great disparity in military and national power has led to a judgment of superiority and inferiority.
