"General, I don't understand why our country, the Great Wei Congress, is involved in this matter?"
In the splendid Daliang City, the mighty King's City, inside the main hall, the morning sun is rising. Looking down, the whole capital seems to be in a state of joy, but above the court, there is a constant solemnity.
King Zeng of Wei looked furious. He looked at Xiao Wei Mou, who was wearing a military uniform, and said sternly.
Just last night, the military order was urgently reported. General Meng Wu of Qin's camp outside the pass led 200,000 troops to repair the fish. South Korea sent 100,000 troops as a side response. Many counties and counties of Shangdang joined forces with the Jiuyuan camp to have nearly 200,000 troops.
Ready to move at any time.
On one hand, such a huge military force was beyond the ability of the Wei State to resist at this time, and the Qin State's intention to send troops to all Shandong countries to plunder the students of the National Protectorate Academy was a crime equivalent to declaring war on the Qin State.
As soon as the order was given, the entire Wei state was shocked.
The king of Wei put on his imperial robes and looked at Wei Mou in panic. He just wanted to build his own Xihe Academy. Why did he have to provoke the Qin State at this time? Now that the matter has not been accomplished, it has caused such trouble.
"This...my king, my minister...is guilty!"
Xiao Wei Mou had a frown on his slightly bearded expression. He cupped his fists and saluted, wanting to make an excuse or two, but after thinking about it, he gave up. After all, this matter was caused by him.
Since last year, I have been very curious about the affairs of the Qin Guoguo Academy and wanted to find out something, but the security was tight and I was unable to learn more.
I didn't expect that the Protectorate Academy would take a big break. This was an opportunity to directly order and find out more information about the Academy. I didn't expect those people would make such a plundering decision.
In any case, things have happened, and Mengwu, the camp outside the Qin State Pass, has also led his troops to suppress the border. At this moment, you should think about how to deal with it.
"You are guilty!"
"Of course you are guilty!"
"Now that the Qin State's 200,000 troops are pressing down on the country, do you have a way to retreat?"
Wang Zeng of Wei sighed deeply. He had originally promised to develop quietly. As long as Zhao was still a barrier to the Three Jin Dynasties, Wei would always have the opportunity to develop silently. But now, it is better that Wei will directly face the pressure of Qin.
Looking through the Nine-star Pearl at the ministers who were lowering their heads, King Wei Zeng focused his gaze on the Prime Minister and the General.
"My king, although the main force of the Qin army outside the pass is 200,000, the army of our great Wei state is only 300,000. Therefore, I think that our great state of Wei should send troops to fight. Besides, the Zhao state in the north will not try to force Qin to fight."
Threatened by the country.”
"If Zhao also sends troops, then we will have a better chance of winning if the three Jin lands are unified."
"Moreover, if we are facing a battle this time, we can also review the soldiers of Wei who have completed their initial training!"
Xiao Wei Mou was the first to speak out. Although the Qin State was building up 200,000 soldiers, and hundreds of thousands of troops later responded, but it was close to the border of the Wei State, and the power that the Wei State could mobilize was very strong, so there was nothing to fear.
The Wei State has been immersed in the Shandong states for a long time, and it is time for a battle to gain momentum.
"My king, I think the general's words are inappropriate."
"The military is a major event of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival. It must be observed. Now the Qin State is raising troops, and the purpose is to intimidate the countries in Shandong."
"Therefore, there may not necessarily be any plans to raise troops. The general also said just now that Zhao State is a barrier to the Three Jin Dynasties. Now Qin General Meng Wu Chen Bing Xiu Yu is also suppressing Zhao State. Why don't we wait and see what happens to Zhao State first?
Make another decision!"
The new prime minister, wearing a brocade robe, stepped forward, bowed his hands, shook his head and sighed.
Today, the Qin State has raised hundreds of thousands of troops to face Zhao, Wei, and Chu. The possibility of directly raising troops is definitely unlikely, but it is not impossible. If Wei rashly decides to fight, Zhao and Chu compromise.
Facing an army of hundreds of thousands, the Wei State has no chance of winning. On the contrary, it will lose the national power that it has managed to develop in recent years. Therefore, there is no need to rush, just wait.
"My king, Qin and Zhao fought against each other last year, and the Zhao people have been hostile to each other for a long time. This time the Qin army invades the border, they will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it."
"No matter what, the Wei Kingdom must be prepared to fight."
When Wei Mou heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Since the new Prime Minister Xi Cheng came to the throne, he has repeatedly adopted strategies of recuperation, compromise and development. Although it is good, it has lost the majesty of the Wei State.
He shouted in a deep voice with a determined expression.
"My king, there has been no military war in the Wei Kingdom for several years. Although the generals are trained with Wei's soldiers, Qin also has elite soldiers who are not inferior to Wei's soldiers. If there is a battle, Wei's soldiers will be destroyed, while Qin's soldiers will be defeated."
The battle at Guolantian Camp has not been damaged."
"What will you think if Qin invades the country in the future?"
Old Xiangguo Xicheng shook his head again, military strategists love to fight, but fighting can be done, but at this time, it is absolutely not feasible, if the military strength of the Wei Kingdom is exhausted at this moment.
Then, when Qin State's Lantian camp troops are sent out, Wei State will have fish and meat on its back.
"Yes, the prime minister is old enough to plan for the country, but he did it like this."
"Qin can withstand losses, but I can't. All the Qin army wants is to cede land and compensate with goods. If this can earn Wei a few years, I think it's okay."
King Zeng of Wei looked excited. In recent years, although Wei's strength has improved, it is still far behind Qin. The Prime Minister is right, Wei has Wei soldiers, and Qin also has elite soldiers, who are not inferior to Wei soldiers.
If all the new recruits of Wei soldiers are lost, then when facing Qin in the future, Wei will have no power to fight back, and the achievements of several years will be destroyed in one day. What's more, if there is a war, Wei Wang really has no power to fight back.
The certainty of victory.
During this period, the Qin State also wanted to attack the city and plunder the property. Instead of doing this, it would be better to cede the city directly and offer the property. Although the reputation is not good, he is not the first Wei king to do this. His ancestor King Hui is far away.
Period, it was like this.
So, it doesn't matter.
Thinking of this, the map of Wei State rolled through my mind. The cities in Pingyang, Anyang, Fanyang and other places in the north were somewhat dispensable.
Seven days later.
News came from the State of Zhao that the King of Zhao agreed to cede the land of Pingyi and the three cities of Maling south of the river with a radius of 400 miles to the State of Qin, and in exchange for one hundred thousand gold, treasures, jade, and a number of beauties.
Ten days later.
News came from Southern Chu that the King of Chu agreed to cede Pingyu on both sides of Ru River and give the land of 500 miles from Gao City to Qin. In exchange, he would pay 100,000 gold, treasures, jade, and a number of beauties.
Seeing this, the Wei State had no choice but to cede Pingyang, Anyang, Fanyang and other places with a radius of 350 miles to the Qin State, and compensated the Qin State with 100,000 gold, treasures, jade, and a number of beauties.
Half a month later, Qin withdrew its troops and stopped fighting, and the other countries breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, in Xianyang City, Gai Nie and his party also set off directly, holding the king's letter and carrying a lot of money, to go to Qi State for a big plan.

"Next, I will go to Longxi, I'm afraid it will take a month or two."
"I will leave the important affairs of the academy to you during the semester."
In the side hall of the Martial Arts Lecture Hall of the Protectorate Academy, a group of high-level officials from the Academy gathered together. Zhou Qing stood in the hall. Looking at the Academy Prime Minister in front of him, a doctor, he could see that it had been more than half a year since the Academy was officially operational.
Everything is progressing according to the rules set previously, whether it is training, assessment, or anything else. Although some people are eliminated, some people are also gradually emerging.
On a midsummer day, I left the academy not only for my own reasons, but also to see the abilities of Huanjue and the others. After staying with me for several months, I should also learn some things.
Three months have passed since the last time the academy students were kidnapped. During the big break half a month ago, those people from the Shandong countries were indeed much more stable, but recently a lot of people have entered the Central Academy.
For those, Zhou Qing did not pay much attention. Today, the Central Academy is dominated by the Legalist Academy and supplemented by other courtyards. In fact, there are not many suitable doctors and teachers in the other courtyards.
"Please rest assured, Marquis Wu Zhen, I will not disappoint Marquis Wu Zhen."
The Prime Minister of the Academy, Huanjie, bowed his hands in a salute. For several months, he had been acting beside Marquis Wu Zhen. All important tasks were carried out, and the Academy was operating normally. Orders for selection were issued one after another, and orders for elimination were issued one after another.
It seems simple, but there is also mystery in it. After thinking about it carefully, I have learned a lot. Now that Marquis Wu Zhen is going to Longxi, no matter what, he cannot let the academy be negligent or slack.
After saying that, the other doctors also bowed.
Half a year has passed, and there are now only more than 900 students left in the academy, and nearly a hundred have been eliminated. However, the effect is still very obvious, and many good military talents have emerged one after another.
With careful training, after three years, you will be able to take on big responsibilities.
"The Military Academy must step up the refining and use of fierce fire oil."
"In the attack on Zhao last year, the power of the fierce fire oil was probably known to the six countries of Shandong, but that was nothing. Now we have refined a power that is more domineering than the fierce fire oil."
"When I go east next year, I will definitely put it to use. When the time comes, I will ask for credit for the Military Academy!"
There are nine major courtyards standing there. Many of the military units' courtyards have nothing yet. However, with his guidance from time to time, the military academy has stepped up its research on fierce fire oil and has refined two different things.
Over the years, Zhou Qing was very familiar with those two things, but although refining, preserving and applying them was still a huge problem, those things were not something he needed to manage.
"I will definitely not disappoint Marquis Wu Zhen!"
The doctor from the Military Academy looked overjoyed. He has the most say in the things and their power developed by the Military Academy. If they come in handy next year, they will definitely be of great help.
For a moment, the other doctors in the academy looked over with admiration.
"I have also agreed to the king's request for the relocation of the Naval Academy. In autumn and winter, you can move to the two counties of Bashu and conduct real combat exercises there."
He turned his attention to the doctor from the Navy Academy. Since he is a navy, after all the theoretical teachings are completed, it is natural to show what he has learned on the water. There are no big rivers around the National Protectorate Academy, and the only suitable ones are the two counties of Bashu.
.
There are complete buildings, ships and equipment there.
"I will definitely not disappoint Marquis Wu Zhen!"
The doctor from the Naval Academy nodded in response.
"The rest of the affairs of the academy should also be completed according to the plan we made previously. Although the students of the academy will not leave until three years later, the power of the academy will be available next year."
"Xue Gongcheng, you should pay more attention."
In the blink of an eye, the five-year period is coming, and the soldiers of Lantian camp are almost ready. In the past five years, the Great Qin government has a strong treasury, and the granary has more than doubled.
The weapons forged by General Shaofu are being shipped out in large quantities, and war horses are also being transported from Longxi and Jiuyuan to Lantian and outside the pass. Next year, the final inspection period will also come.
