"As Yan Ran said, in order to save Wei State, all the countries in Shandong must completely unite."
"There is only one way, otherwise, Qin will be unstoppable!"
Long Yangjun shook his head. Ji Yanran's words were actually known to all the knowledgeable people in Xia, but... just because they knew it didn't mean it could be done. What he and Xiao Wei Mou wanted was another strategy.
Among the Xia kingdoms today, the two kings of Chu are fighting and it is impossible to have the strength to go out in a short time. In the land of Qilu, it is rumored that the Confucianists have already taken action, Yan has a vague attitude, and Wei is also waiting.
No way!
"Chu is powerless and Qi is indifferent. Now there are only Wei and Yan. Lord Longyang, this time Qin attacks Zhao, how much force will the two countries need to maintain Zhao's situation?"
Xiao Wei Mou took off his heavy armor, and the waiter next to him hung it on a shelf. He felt much lighter and discussed with Lord Long Yang again. In Daliang City, only Lord Long Yang was worthy of his trust.
"The current elite troops of the Zhao State are nothing more than Li Mu's 100,000 frontier troops in the north, the Handan Camp in the hinterland, and the more than 200,000 troops in the Julu Camp. Over the years, they have been rarely seen, and their combat effectiveness is not obvious."
"To withstand the attack of Qin's main force of more than 400,000, Yan and Wei must send more than 150,000 troops...even 200,000 is not much!"
Long Yangjun did not respond directly, but still moved his slender body in the hall, constantly planning. Zhao's military strength would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure of the Qin army. This is for sure, even though Li Mu is still in Yanmen.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be transferred back to take charge of the overall situation soon.
If the people in Handan of Zhao State wanted to survive, they would definitely do this, and with Li Mu's character, they would definitely adopt a defensive strategy, the same strategy that Zhao State used when it faced Qin.
With such a long front, Zhao has an advantage, but Qin does not.
However, in order to truly fight against the Qin State, Li Mu's defense was only a temporary measure. It was only possible with the help of a more powerful army, such as the elite soldiers of the Yan State and the elite soldiers of the Wei State.
"Wei Mou, you... must not follow the path of Wuji back then!"
Following the previous words, Long Yangjun's expression changed slightly, and his eyes suddenly turned to Xiao Wei Mou. Now that Wei Guo has a shortage of good generals, if something happens to Xiao Wei Mou, when the Qin army comes to attack the country, there will really be no one to lead the army.
"Ha ha!"
"Don't worry, the young master retired because of this. Wei Mou remembers it."
Wei Mou's loud laughter echoed in the hall, and he shook his head and looked at Lord Long Yang. Young Master Wuji was deposed by King Wei for this incident. He saw it with his own eyes, so he was already on guard.
"Report!"
"General, there is a man calling himself Zhang Er coming outside the mansion. This is my greeting!"
Immediately, Xiao Wei Mou and Long Yangjun did not dwell on that matter. The conversation changed and fell elsewhere. As the border of Qin State borders Wei State, many things have become more and more complicated.
As he was talking, a lightly-armed soldier approached outside the hall, clasping his fists and saying something.
"Zhang Er?"
"Can I open my ears for the foreigner?"
Xiaowei Moujing was sitting behind the first case. Hearing the sound, he was startled at first. He felt that the name was a bit familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he thought that he had never heard of it before. With a wave of his hand, the greeting card in the soldier's hand came into his hand.
When he looked closely at the words on it, a slight smile appeared on his face.
"Please come in, old friends from the past are becoming fewer and fewer."
After a few breaths, he put down the greeting card in his hand, looked at the soldier with a smile, waved his palms, and glanced at Lord Long Yang.
"Zhang Er?"
"Who is this?"
Lord Long Yang was standing by the side, reciting something that he seemed to have heard before, but it must have been a long time ago, so he couldn’t remember it clearly.
"Zhang Er is also an old friend."
"In those days, the young master was good at raising scholars, and Zhang Erwei was a frequent guest. At that time, Mr. Longyang was still an important minister in the palace, and he probably didn't know much about him. After the Battle of Handan, the young master was suspected and dismissed three thousand guests."
"Zhang Er went to Waihuang, and he married a daughter of a good family. A few years ago, he became an official in Waihuang, not far from Daliang City, and became somewhat famous. I never thought that he would come here today."
In the past, there were thousands of retainers in the Young Master's mansion, and the retainers made great achievements in the Battle of Handan. I thought that from now on, I could follow the Young Master and show what I have learned, but I didn't expect that the Young Master was deposed.
The disciples were dismissed by the young master, and Zhang Er is considered to be a relatively well-off person now.
Facing Lord Long Yang's gaze, Wei Mou laughed and told Zhang Er's identity. He was able to get around like this in just ten years, and he was also a smart man.
"It turns out to be Wuji's retainer."
Lord Long Yang nodded in agreement. Wuji was good at keeping customers, and he had a lot of customers. He liked to be quiet, but he didn't know much about Wuji's frequent guests. Now, more than ten years have passed.
Wuji's disciples are scattered, and now they don't know much about him.
"Zhang Er has met the general!"
Not long after, a waiter from the mansion led a group of five people to the main hall.
The leader was wearing a light gray fitted brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and his hair tied up in a crown. He was quite neat. Although he was not as handsome as Long Yangjun, he still had a good temperament. When he entered the main hall, his eyes fell directly on the loud noise above.
On Wei Mou.
With a slightly emotional expression on his face, he took a step closer again and bowed his hands.
"General!"
"General!"
"..."
The other four people accompanying him also looked at each other, looked left and right, and also bowed, their eyes falling on Wei Mou.
"Hahaha, Zhang Er!"
"We should have met several times back then, but now we meet again like this."
If he were an ordinary Lingcheng from a small city, he would naturally not be noticed by Wei Mou, but Zhang Er in front of him was different. Being invited by Wuji as a frequent visitor must be something special.
In today's Daliang City of Wei State, although he controls military affairs, he does not have much influence on the civil servants. It is indeed helpful, so he should be happy.
He stood up from behind the desk, waved to greet them, and talked about old times.
"This is Lord Longyang!"
Then, he introduced Long Yangjun, who was also standing next to him.
"Zhang Er has met Lord Long Yang!"
Zhang Er also felt a little emotional when he heard that the general was shouting at Wei Mou, and a trace of the past flashed across his mind. The young master's house was quite lively back then, but it all disappeared in one day.
More than ten years have passed, the diners have disappeared, and I have a new life.
He also saw a handsome man in white clothes standing up next to the general. In fact, Zhang Er could guess the identity of that man without the introduction of the general. There was only one person in Daliang City who could grow more handsome than a woman.
Lord Long Yang.
"Long Yangjun!"
"Long Yangjun!"
"..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the other people beside Zhang Er also bowed.
"You don't need to be polite."
Lord Long Yang smiled and nodded, raising one hand slightly.
"Haha, Zhang Er."
"Why don't you introduce these distinguished guests to me?"
As for the four people beside Zhang Er, he noticed it when he first entered the hall. The four people's cultivation levels were not obvious. The highest ones were only at the innate level, and there seemed to be people from Confucianism. The aura of awe-inspiringness in their bodies was very familiar to him.
"yes."
"General, this is a good friend of Zhang Er. His name is Chen Yu. He is Zhang Er's close friend."
Zhang Er pointed to the man in yellow who was closest to him. He looked middle-aged. Although his clothes were not gorgeous, he was quite courageous.
Hearing this, the superior Wei Mou nodded.
"This is Liu Ji from Pei County, Chu State. He is a chivalrous man and Zhang Er considers him a good friend."
Then, Zhang Er stepped forward and pointed at another person beside him. He was wearing black plain clothes, with his hair tied up and a crown. He looked quite like a Confucian, but his expression was not obvious, and he looked a little sloppy.
Xiao Wei Mou looked over and nodded in response.
"This is Lu Wan, Liu Ji's good friend. He is a Confucian and Zhang Er considers him a good friend."
"This is Liu Bi of Huaiyin, a Confucian, and Zhang Er considers him a good friend."
Zhang Er moved again and introduced the remaining two people one by one. Among the four, Liu Bi was the youngest, but he was the most graceful among the four and the one with the most Confucian physique.
"As your good friend, you should be my honored guest."
"sit!"
The smile on Xiao Wei Mou's face kept coming. In the past, there were many visitors to the Young Master's house. They came from hundreds of families, industries and businesses. During the Battle of Handan, there were even some despicable people who showed their talents. Therefore, I did not dare to look down on anyone in my heart.
A person who looks invisible.
It's hard to say, but there are people with great ability at critical moments.
Pointing to the vacant seats on the left and right of the hall, he finished his words and waved, and the waiter next to him went down to prepare.
"Thank you, General!"
Zhang Er readily accepted it.
Immediately, all five people took their seats and found their seats according to the order introduced by Zhang Er.
After taking a breath, a maid came forward to offer tea.
Xiao Wei Mou watched quietly from above. Among the five people, Zhang Er himself knew it. The names of the other four people were all known for the first time. They looked at each other and the maid offered tea. Each one was different.
Chen Yu acted boldly, glanced at the maid, said nothing, and allowed the maid to pour the tea into the cup.
Liu Ji's behavior was a little rude. Among the five of them, Liu Ji was already a bit slovenly. When he saw the maid approaching, his eyes were not loose, and he had a sense of desire. He looked around the hall, and there was an obvious hint of love.
.
Lu Wan behaved in a refined manner, just like Liu Bi beside him, which was in line with Confucian etiquette.
The five people Zhang Er brought were a bit interesting, but what made me even more curious was why Zhang Er came to me today, and why did he come here?
"General."
"Zhang Er is here now. He said that he has a plan for the general to relieve the general's immediate worries!"
