Daliang, the capital of Wei, is located on the south bank of the Great River, and is only more than 200 miles away from Xinzheng, the former capital of South Korea. Even if Xianyang is only a thousand miles away, it is only a journey. With the construction of the strait system in Qin State, two trips will be made.
Time in the land has been greatly reduced.
Therefore, the Wei prisoners of war returned from Qin were among the Three Kingdoms prisoners of war. The Wei prisoners of war were the first batch of prisoners of war to cross their own borders. However, although these prisoners of war were not slow, there was one thing more speed than them.
Fast, that thing appeared in Daliang, the capital of Wei State at a faster speed than them, and appeared on the desk of Wang Zeng of Wei.
A letter of war from Qin State.
Wang Zeng of Wei looked at the Qin State War Book on the desk with a ugly expression. Although he knew that this day was coming sooner or later, when it really came, Wang Zeng of Wei felt a sense of fear from the bottom of his heart at the first time.
Although Wei State was attacked by Qin State for nearly a hundred years, the Wei State had already been accustomed to it, but Wang Zeng of Wei knew that this time was different from the past.
Once Qin attacked Wei just to cut off Wei's flesh. Although Wei felt a heart-wrenching pain every time, it was not fatal, but this time it was different. This time Qin was not here.
The one who cuts the flesh of Wei and comes to take the life of Wei. The life of Wei is also the life of King Zeng of Wei.
"Sikong, what do you think of this war book?" Wei Wang Zeng reluctantly calmed himself down and turned his attention to Sikong Wei Yong, who had just returned from Qin to Daliang.
"King, now our Wei State's national strength is declining, and there are only more than 100,000 soldiers in the country, but the military has not been restored since its great defeat that year. The elite soldiers and armor are only 50,000 or 60,000. Such a power is not enough
Resist the Qin army." Wei Yong said after thinking for a while.
Wang Zeng of Wei was a little impatient at the moment, but at this time, he was extremely patient. He knew that Wei Yong's words must have some more details.
"However, our Wei State is not completely unavoidable. Qin State has strong strength, while our Wei State is fighting locally, with the people of all over the country, and the strong city of our Wei State, under these two defenses,
Facing the powerful Qin army, although they do not have the ability to fight in the field, their defense is still possible." Wei Yong said.
"But our Wei Kingdom is located on the plains, and there are really five dangers to guard." said Wang Zeng of Wei.
"King, the Wei State is just not as dangerous as mountains and rivers, but when it comes to the strength of the city, Daliang must be above Xianyang." Wei Yong said.
"But that's just a big beam, what about other cities? Other cities do not have city walls like Daliang." Wei Wang Zeng expressed his doubts.
"King, with the current strength of Wei State, we can only guard one Daliang City, and we cannot guard other cities." Wei Yong said.
"You mean?" Wang Zeng of Wei thought of a possibility in Wei Yong's words, and slight beads of sweat oozing out of his forehead. Such a decision was too difficult.
"King, in the current situation, we can only concentrate the national strength to Daliang and fight the Qin army at Daliang City. As for other cities, we can ignore it. As long as we can protect Daliang, the Wei Kingdom will not perish.
Daliang is no longer there, and even if other cities can be preserved, the State of Wei will no longer exist." Wei Yong said.
"If Gu hadn't known Sikong's character, just what you said just now, Gu would have enough reason to suspect that you were a spy from Qin." Wang Zeng of Wei said in a stern tone.
"King, all this I did is for the State of Wei. If the king misunderstands me because of this, I am willing to bear all the consequences of the misunderstanding of the king." Wei Yong was dissatisfied when facing the murderous King Zeng of Wei, who looked like a murderous intent.
Change your color and look like you are determined to serve the country with iron and firm heart.
"Don't worry, Gu is not a foolish monarch. Are you really planning for Gu and Wei? Gu can still distinguish between him? With the current military strength of Wei, it is not suitable to divide the troops and guard multiple cities.
Concentrate our strength in Daliang and use the Daliang City to resist the Qin army. In this way, our Wei State has a glimmer of hope." King Zeng of Wei said.
"But there is another problem. Since five years ago, Qin has blocked Wei, which has caused a shortage of war materials from all over the Wei State. It is just the production of Wei State locally, and it has been exhausted for several years.
However, the Wei Wushu who formed 50,000 or 60,000 or 50,000 or 60,000 people, although they have received enough training and can be elite soldiers, but they cannot even have weapons. This problem must be solved before the Qin army attacks. Only in this way can it be
Increase our chances of winning against the Qin army's attack." Wei Wang Zeng continued.
In the past five years, the Qin State has not only known how to build roads and cultivate grain and train troops.
Although Qin did not launch direct wars against other countries, in addition to direct wars, Qin used the means to weaken the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Chu.
For example, the embargo of war materials.
Under the blockade of Qin, Wei was the worst. Wei now only has one county left. The food produced in its territory is enough, and the population has been reorganized. However, war horses, metals for making weapons, and warfare.
The leather of armor and the tendons of animal that make bows and arrows are rare in Wei.
In the past, the metals were mostly imported from South Korea, while Nanyang County was the largest iron smelting farm in the Central Plains. War horses, leather, animal tendons and other things were mostly imported from Zhao, but after Zhao lost its northern border,
Even Zhao itself lacks these things, so how can they be sold to Wei?
What's more, after Qin established Dongjun, Zhao and Wei were completely separated. Even if Zhao wanted to sell these things, there was no channel. As for detours to Qi, forget it, no one knows.
In Qi State, the King of Qin is the uncrowned king.
"This is indeed a problem, but in fact, we can't do anything about it." Wei Yong said.
"No, the sky is boundless." Wang Zeng of Wei said, showing a look of excitement.
"Why did the king say?" Wei Yong's face changed.
The change in Wei Yong's expression fell into Wei Wang Zeng's eyes, which made him very satisfied. He thought Wei Yong was amazed by his genius ideas, but he didn't know that Wei Yong's amazement was true, but it was not because of Wei Wang Zeng.
, but because of the Qin King's politics.
Before I could use force, he took the bait by himself. This was too easy, right? Wei Yong thought so.
"Although the copper coins on those people are money, they are also excellent copper. Although they cannot develop excellent weapons, they can still be used." Wang Zeng of Wei said.
"Master, no, they earned the money with great effort. If it is robbed, something unexpected may happen." Wei Yong played the role of a loyal minister and quickly persuaded.
"It's okay, it's just a thousand dollars. What's wrong with them sacrificing it for the sake of Wei State? After all, if the country is gone, their fate will be even more miserable." Wang Zeng of Wei said excitedly. He is still thinking about his genius now.
And impress yourself.
"For the sake of Wei, we can only suffer a lot. After all, they are also people of Wei." Wei Wang Zeng said at last, obviously, he was completely convinced by himself at this time.
"The king is very proud of it. It is worth it to suffer the people for the sake of Wei State for the time being." Wei Yong sincerely agreed.
What the monarch and minister think is nothing more than that.
