The battle along the Qingzhou border is still going on fiercely.

This is a change that has not happened in the world for a hundred years. The five countries are participating in the war together and conquering each other. It can be expected that whoever can stand out from this war will become the true overlord among the five countries.

It was late at night in the Xuanzheng Palace in Chang'an Imperial City of Wei State, but Zhao Changqing was not sleepy at all. At the same time, the six ministers and cabinet officials were all waiting here quietly.

Someone had already dozed off for a while. Zhao Changqing did not blame him. He could sleep here, but no one could leave here.

He, the emperor, has been waiting here patiently for the frontline army to report, and they, the ministers, have no reason to leave.

After being the emperor for so long, Zhao Changqing's heart is actually changing quietly. If in the past he could do anything to earn mediocre points, then now, when he earns mediocre points,

You will think carefully about the pros and cons of this matter and whether you can bear it. This is a sharp change in your mind.

Even Zhuge Liang and the old people who have been following Zhao Changqing feel that His Majesty has indeed matured a lot compared to before, because he is less arbitrary in handling things than before, and he is good at listening to the opinions of ministers. Finally,

At least looking at it now, this is a good thing, because in front of them, the King of Wei, who is hailed by the world as the emperor of the ages, is still growing, which shows that His Majesty still has endless potential that has not been tapped.

When it is completely excavated, His Majesty will surely become the emperor of the ages in the true sense.

They all know that His Majesty has a very high level of martial arts. If nothing unexpected happens, not only will he live a hundred years, but at least his lifespan will far exceed that of the previous Wei emperors, right?

This shows that Zhao Changqing will be in power for at least several decades. During these decades, the ministers are confident that they will build Wei into a supreme empire.

After He Ning gave birth to a child, her figure became more and more plump, and she gained a kind of charm that only a mature woman can have. Coupled with a bit of arrogance from people in the world, it made men very nostalgic and obsessed with her.

However, such a woman belongs only to Zhao Changqing.

She cooked the meal herself and brought several bowls of lotus seed soup, hoping to wake up the emperor and the ministers. After all, it was the people in the Xuanzheng Palace who were protecting Wei from the wind and rain at this moment.

The ministers were very grateful and felt relieved when they saw that the Queen was so caring and virtuous.

Firstly, having a virtuous empress can avoid many disputes in the harem. Secondly, the child born to such a virtuous empress, who is now the prince, will most likely be a prince when he grows up in the future.

Mingjun.

Wei Guo has a successor!

He Ning personally brought a bowl of soup to Zhao Changqing, but he declined politely and said, "I'm not hungry yet, so let's put it on the table first."

He Ning frowned and said kindly and caringly: "Your Majesty, it will get cold soon."

Zhao Changqing was just about to say something when he heard a scout coming to report. The battle report came from Chen Qingzhi's side.

They have already attacked six counties in the south of Shanxi, and will soon reach Jinyang City. Victory is in sight, it is only a matter of time.

But for Zhao Changqing now, what he lacks most is time, so he said to a close aide outside the Xuanzheng Hall: "Immediately rush to Jin State and tell Chen Qingzhi that he must solve the problem within a month."

Sima Kong of the Jin Kingdom is defeated. Don't waste time! I can wait, but the soldiers fighting on the front line cannot wait. They are all trying to buy time for you, Chen Qingzhi, and we cannot let the soldiers on the front line sacrifice in vain!"

A close aide who was guarding outside the palace immediately bowed and left.

In fact, there are many close associates of Zhao Changqing outside the palace.

They stay here so that His Majesty can send messages to various battlefields.

As soon as the cronies guarding outside the palace left, Zhao Changqing sat on a chair and stroked his forehead. He looked particularly painful and asked Zhuge Liang and others: "Is there no news from Duke Cao Guo?"

He Ning originally wanted to give Zhao Changqing a massage himself so that he could soothe his nerves and relieve his fatigue.

But when I heard that they were about to discuss military and state affairs, I retreated from my interest.

Then, Zhuge Liang bowed to Zhao Changqing and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there has been no news from the border area for several days."

Zhao Changqing frowned and said, "How many days is it?"

Zhuge Liang replied: "It has been six days."

Zhao Changqing took a deep breath and said: "Let the remaining battalions in the capital be prepared for war. Six thousand troops will be stationed hundreds of miles outside Chang'an City."

There has been no news for six days, and the situation of the war is fleeting. It is very likely that the border area is in danger.

Six days ago, Zhao Changqing only received a battle report from the border pass, which said that the Chu army had begun to attack the border pass fiercely.

If they really break through, Zhao Yun's side will be in the embarrassing situation of being attacked from both sides, and Chang'an will also be in danger.

In doing so, he was preparing for the worst. If the border pass was captured, then there would be no other option but to do his best to fight the Chu army decisively.

One side of the border.

Bai Qi retreated again and again. Faced with the doubts of the soldiers, he did not explain too much.

Because only the two of them know the fighting method formulated by Cao Shen.

In order to prevent the news from leaking out and being counterattacked by the Chu army, Bai Qi had to keep his mouth shut about this matter and quietly complete the battle plan formulated by Cao Guogong, even if he was temporarily questioned by his colleagues.

At present, they have retreated to the barren mountain area.

When Bai Qi saw that the morale of the Chu army was high, he knew that the time had not come yet.

He promised the soldiers of the three armies: "I have been deeply entrusted by Duke Cao. This battle is related to the lives of the three soldiers, so I will definitely lead everyone out of the predicament. You don't need to be kind. Now, I only ask that you can hold on to the barren mountains for a few days. I, the general, will

I promise you, I will give you a satisfactory answer in a few days!"

All the soldiers had no choice but to follow the instructions and actively prepare defenses in the barren mountain area.

The next day, they encountered the Chu army's attack.

But this time, the Wei army did not lose the battle and successfully repelled the Chu army.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan laughed and said: "They are fighting against trapped animals. Send the order and send a large army to attack!"

He thought that the Wei army was at the end of its rope by doing this, but he didn't know that all this was within Cao Shen's expectations.

For several days, no matter how hard the Chu army attacked the mountain, they would be captured by the Wei army in the end.

After several times, the Chu army was exhausted both physically and mentally.

On the other hand, the Wei army was in high spirits on the mountain.

Xiang Yan felt weird.

How did the Wei army's combat effectiveness increase in an instant?

But after realizing this, it was already too late.

Because Bai Qi realized that the time had come, he had already begun to issue orders for all soldiers to counterattack.

The officers and soldiers of the Wei army were waiting for just such an opportunity.

A chance to avenge myself.

When did the Wei army experience so many defeats in a row?

It’s not like he can’t beat him!

Therefore, the stubborn officers and soldiers of the Wei army are all holding back a certain amount of energy in their hearts at this moment. If this energy is suppressed, there will definitely be problems, but fortunately, the time for this energy to be released is just right.

Therefore, for a time, the entire Wei army was full of fighting spirit and vowed to fight to the death with the Chu army.

But what about the Chu army?

After several great victories in succession, the entire army became arrogant.

As the saying goes, ‘a group of cowards will be cowardly’.

All the generals knew that the enemy commander Cao Shen had led his army to support the border pass. The Wei army left here was just a small army or an army with poor combat effectiveness responsible for holding back his own army.

Therefore, after each of them experienced a few victories in the beginning, they were a little disdainful, thinking that the Wei army at this moment was vulnerable.

Even these generals despised the Wei army. How could they not despise the soldiers of the Chu army?

But after the Wei army retreated to the barren mountains, everything seemed to have changed.

The combat effectiveness of the Wei army suddenly increased, and it has already surpassed its own army.

This is something beyond common sense. No matter how we attack the Wei army, the Wei army will remain standing like a big mountain.

This was after the Wei army had mobilized its main force.

If we encounter the main force led by Cao Shen, how should we fight this battle?

There is no way to fight!

Therefore, more or less, the soldiers of the Chu army were in a negative state at this moment.

I want to annihilate the Wei army in a very short period of time, but I can't do it. Staying here is just a waste of time.

Wei Jun is like a shrunken tortoise. He only knows how to defend and does not know how to take the initiative to attack. No matter how he provokes and scolds the formation, Wei Jun just stays in the mountains and cannot come out. This is a bit helpless!

Bai Qi felt the change in the morale of the Chu army, so he went out to fight the Chu army today!

This battle is crucial.

If defeated, the task of besieging the Chu army would be basically completed.

If you don't win, you can go to see the late emperor.

No, I have nothing to do with the late emperor, and I have never seen what Emperor Renzong looked like.

The entire Wei army was dispatched.

The Chu army was caught off guard for the first time.

Xiang Yan was stunned at the time.
