"General, have you heard that half a month ago, Qin General Wang Ben led 30,000 light cavalry to attack the twelve cities of Chu?"
"Everywhere he passed, no one could stop him. The entire Chu State was terrified. Even Xiang Yan, the great commander of the Chu State, stood still and waited for Wang Ben to leave after he conquered the territory of the Chu State."
Daliang City has stood beside a tributary of the river for more than a hundred years. Although the hegemony of the Wei Kingdom has long since disappeared, Daliang's splendor remains as before, standing in the hinterland of the Xia, capturing the essence of the civilization of the Xia.
Hundreds of families gathered together, merchants gathered together, it was like this inside and outside the twin cities.
The magnificent royal city stands on the west side of the city. For more than a hundred years, one Wei king has held the power of the country in it. In the early spring, Wei Wang Zeng passed away and the king pretended to succeed to the throne. The situation became difficult.
In the side hall of the palace, the king of Wei was sorting out the documents at hand and looking at Wei Mou, the general of the Wei state. Next to him, the corpse of the prime minister was listening quietly without making too much noise.
"Know."
Clad in jet black heavy armor, Xiao Wei Mou had a firm look on his face and showed great momentum. Hearing the words of the young king, he nodded in response.
"Even so, the general is still secretly helping those old Koreans in Yingchuan County, who really wants to push the Wei State into a desperate situation. Sure enough, Wang Ben is also doing the same in the Wei State. I am afraid that Daliang City has been captured."
King Wei was quite dissatisfied.
The last time the Qin State's high minister Yao Jia came to accuse the Wei State, he did not dare to say anything about the turmoil in Yingchuan County of the Qin State, and there was really no help from the court.
But...according to the family intelligence, although the royal family did not provide any help, the general secretly dispatched a large number of people to sneak into Yingchuan County to help those old Koreans and cause chaos in the Qin Kingdom.
Although his strategy was good,... Qin had already warned him, and the Qin general Wang Ben was able to raid a large number of cities within half a month. This shows that his troops were powerful. He really attacked Wei, so how could Wei stop him?
Today, the total military strength of Wei State is only two to three hundred thousand, which is still inferior to that of Zhao State, which is about to be destroyed, and even with such strength, it is only three points. One... there are 100,000 soldiers marching to Zhangshui to deal with the Qin State's army.
One is in the Huaibei area with 50,000 soldiers to deal with the Chu State. The other is near Guiling with more than 50,000 soldiers to deal with the Qi State. The remaining cities have their own garrison forces.
Although the generals have reorganized their armaments and tempered Wei's soldiers in recent years, the results have been too slow. A large number of elite Wei soldiers have fallen on the bank of Zhangshui. The Qin State will be destroyed and it is very likely to go south to attack the Wei State.
Defend.
With only 30,000 light cavalry, they could traverse the Chu State's Huaibei area thousands of miles away. The Great Sima Xiang Yan did not dare to move. If they were placed on the Wei State, the King of Wei would feel that... he would not be able to sleep well.
And the general's recent actions are even more disturbing to his sleep!
Secretly dispatching the retainers of Lord Xinling in the past to swarm Yingchuan County. What is this? Do you really think Qin State doesn't know?
According to rumors, after the Qin State destroyed Zhao, it is very likely that its troops will attack the Wei State. This year, I have just ascended the throne and have not really reorganized the government and the public. I don’t want to face the Qin State so quickly!
"Your Majesty, don't worry!"
"Wang Ben led 30,000 light cavalry across the Huaibei region of the Chu State. They wanted to fight quickly and decisively in order to frighten the Chu State. He absolutely did not want to encounter Xiang Yan. Otherwise, how could his 30,000 troops fight against Xiang Yan?
Yan has 200,000 troops under his command."
"The main force of the Qin Army is still in the State of Zhao. Even if the State of Zhao is destroyed, the people of Beihu in the land of Yan and Zhao will still involve the main force of the Qin State. Now the State of Qin is suppressing the rebellion of the old people in Korea. With the foundation and foundation of Yingchuan County,
With manpower, it won’t be a problem to last for a year.”
"Moreover, if Qin really wants to attack Wei, all the countries will definitely join forces. At that time, Qin's power will be scattered and there will be nothing that can do anything to Wei!"
Xiao Wei Mou is another gift. In the rebellion in Yingchuan County, the Wei State must support and provide help. Even if the temple does not provide help, he still has to do so.
The longer Yingchuan County can delay, the better it will be for Wei.
Moreover, if Qin really wants to attack Wei, it will not be that easy. The fact that Zhao is destroyed now is due to the internal collapse of Zhao. If Zhao is clear in government and public affairs, other countries will not be stingy in helping.
It's a pity that Guo Kai is really a minister of the Great Yin!
Today's Wei State is not like that. Although the new king is not a wise king, he definitely does not want the Wei State to be destroyed. The Qi State does not want its only barrier to be destroyed by the Qin State, and the same goes for the Chu State.
With the support of Chu and Qi, it will definitely surpass Qin in terms of military strength. Moreover, if Qin occupies Zhao, it will definitely need a large number of manpower to suppress the large territory, and the main army will definitely be damaged.
Therefore, Xiao Wei Mou is not particularly worried.
"Where is the Prime Minister?"
King Wei had heard of Mou's words before, but... the truth is so true. I really don't want to wait until the Qin State attacks the Wei State. In any case, the temples of the Wei State cannot help Yingchuan.
County has any entanglements.
The conversation changed and it fell on Xi Cheng.
"The general's words are not unreasonable."
"The new king has succeeded to the throne. The most important thing now is to cultivate political affairs internally and form alliances with Qin and Qi externally. Wei has served Qin for many years, so how can Qin send troops to attack Wei? Previously, Qin destroyed Han, but the king of Han broke his promise, so that
He was attacked and destroyed by Marquis Wu Zhen of Qin State."
"Qin's destruction of Zhao was a feud that lasted for decades. However, there is no grudge between Qin and Wei. Even though Lord Xinling attacked Qin twenty years ago, Lord Xinling had already been deposed by the late king."
"The king should apply royal principles and popularize his subjects. In this way, Wei will become strong and will not be afraid of Qin!"
Xicheng's old laughter came out, and he also came forward and bowed.
Telling the truth about kingship and benevolence, although the Wei State is weak, its foundation still exists, and it can indeed be politically clear. In addition, the Wei soldiers trained by the generals may not necessarily give a glimpse of the hegemony of the Wei State at that time.
"Hahaha, what the Prime Minister said makes sense."
King Wei gave a false nod in response.
Although this prime minister is somewhat corrupt, it is precisely because of this that I like him. In this way, I was able to win over power at home and abroad in Wei in a very short period of time.
Why was Wei so weak?
It is because the power of the prime ministers at the beginning was too heavy, whether it was Bai Gui, Gongshu Cuo, or later Pang Juan, Gongzi Ang... Lord Xinling, etc., if they had not been so powerful that they caused great trouble to the Wei State, how could the Wei State have done so?
in this way?
Wei Mou, who was standing next to him, heard this and also bowed his head. He sighed softly. Although the king's benevolence is good, it takes time. What Wei State lacks now is time.
******
The King of Qin's document announced to all Xia that he would confer the title of false king to Guo Kai, the minister of Zhao.
No matter how angry outsiders were, Guo Kailai couldn't help but feel happy. Immediately, without any hesitation, he went directly to the palace, dispatched soldiers to directly pull out King Zhao Qian who was messing around with the palace maid, and locked him in the secret room of the palace.
Inside.
He also locked all the senior royal officials and the Queen Mother into a secret room. This was also his promise to King Qin Yingzheng, to hand over all the members of King Zhao's royal family to him.
"Hahaha, how could I succeed without Dunzi's help?"
At nightfall, Guo held a banquet in honor of Dun Rui, who had been imprisoned by him for a long time. At this time, only Dun Rui in Handan had the qualification to sit side by side with him to celebrate such a happy event.
"If you are weak and don't want to achieve merit, the Zhao Kingdom has been destroyed in your hands for hundreds of years, but you still laugh at it as merit. This is a strange thing in the Xia Dynasty!"
Being imprisoned in Handan, all the energy and energy in Dunwei's body were greatly worn away. Even so, when he heard Guo Kai glance at him, he also smiled brightly. This man was really shameless.
"I have destroyed Zhao State for hundreds of years with my own strength. Since the Spring and Autumn Period, who can do it?"
Guo Kai didn't take it seriously. He held the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp.
"If a man is not satisfied with a tripod of meat, a lonely and evil rat can destroy a warehouse."
"The way to subjugate a country is not new. Your Excellency...even if you are the King of Zhao, can you feel at ease?"
Dun weakly shook his head and sneered.
"Hahaha, I never thought that the famous scholar Dunzi could be as pedantic as Confucian. I must have misjudged you."
Guo Kai still didn't take it seriously. In any case, now that he had succeeded, he was about to become the false king of the Zhao State and lead the affairs of the Zhao State. For three generations, no one could compare with him.
What is great loyalty and what is great yin, it is true to go to the end and have the last laugh.
"Zhao Guo, what a pity."
He sighed softly and took a sip of the wine in front of him.
