In the blink of an eye, a full month had passed since Xu Jiao arrived in Wei State.

A lot of things happened during this month.

First of all, Duan Guo, on the one hand, forged a new alliance with the Tang State, and on the other hand, he completely broke up with the Wei State and began to gather a large number of troops to the border areas.

But Jia Xu was still stranded in Duanguo.

He was still waiting for an opportunity and didn't want to come in vain.

If the opportunity can be grasped this time, there will be no war between countries.

If this opportunity is wasted, a war will soon occur.

Jia Xu's purpose in doing this is also to let the people of the world enjoy peace for a period of time.

The most important thing is that according to the current state of Wei, it is not suitable for a major war.

Secondly, the Song State began to relax certain economic exchanges with the Wei State, intentionally or unintentionally.

Whether this is a sign of the easing of relations between the two countries is hard to say.

Zhao Changqing was very angry because of Duan Guo's attitude. He summoned ministers to the Xuanzheng Hall to discuss Duan Guo's policies.

If the Wei State takes military measures or conflicts with Duan State, it is very likely that the Song State will continue to check and balance the Wei State.

The opportunity that Jia Xu has been waiting for is when the Tang army crosses over to the Song Dynasty.

This is the most sensitive time for relations between various countries.

If it is grasped properly, it is likely that Duan Guo will be able to take necessary measures to prevent the Tang army from "borrowing".

But Zhao Changqing didn't want Jia Xu to wait any longer in Duanguo.

The little Duan Guo actually gave up the dignity of the Wei State and still stood with the Tang State, so there was nothing to talk about.

Duan Guo should have forgotten that Wei is the most powerful country in the world, bar none!

An order was issued for Jia Xu to return to Luoyang quickly.

Jia Xu's departure made Sun Ye, the Emperor Duan emperor, feel something bad.

Because his departure was too hasty and too quick.

There must be something wrong here.

Sure enough, the 600,000 Wei troops gathered on the border were mobilized to launch a war against Duan Guo.

The entire frontier area of ​​Duan Kingdom fell.

It only took one night.

After Emperor Duan learned about this incident, he felt very bad and summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

However, after discussing for a long time, we could not find a good solution.

This war was directly ordered by Zhao Changqing, with Chen Qingzhi as the pre-war commander-in-chief and Yue Fei as the vanguard. With an unstoppable momentum, like Mount Tai pressing down on top, they quickly occupied several towns on the border of Duan Kingdom.

Duan Guo actively organized an army and asked for help from Tang State.

But at such a critical moment, Tang's reinforcements actually hesitated.

They refused to send troops and asked Duan Guo to provide food and grass, which was a heavy loss for Duan Guo.

In desperation, they could only agree to Tang Guo's request.

In this way, the Tang State's 400,000 troops marched majestically into Duan State's land.

Chen Qingzhi's trustee sent a letter to Emperor Duan. The content of the letter probably questioned and criticized Duan Guo's choice.

If Duan Guo had agreed to cooperate with Wei, today's war would not have happened.

Although the army of the Tang State was approaching, the Wei State did not attack, but chose to stop with silence.

No matter how many Duan Guo's troops came in, the Wei army would kill them without hesitation.

At this time, people all over the world suddenly discovered the fact that Wei's army was still the strongest army in the world, the same army that destroyed an entire country.

I don’t know why, but because of the checks and balances between the four countries, everyone in the world had the illusion that the good days of Wei were over.

However, wasn't it because they were afraid of Wei's strength that the armies of the four countries had to stand together?

In the imperial palace of Wei State.

Zhao Changqing plays chess with Zhuge Liang in the imperial garden.

On the nineteen-lane chessboard, Zhao Changqing took the lead with black, and played a wide range of tricks, which was a way of killing three thousand enemies and losing eight hundred.

But Zhuge Liang is different. He basically puts stability first in his chess playing, which is consistent with his personality. He likes to chart the course slowly, first building up momentum, then gathering momentum, and then using the general momentum to defeat the enemy.

It was quite difficult for Zhao Changqing to deal with it.

However, every time Zhuge Liang gained momentum, Zhao Changqing would always damage his pieces without hesitation to break his momentum.

As a result, this chess game has fallen into a stalemate.

Even though the two of them were having fun on the chessboard, they didn't put their thoughts completely on the chessboard. They were talking and laughing when they were making moves, and sometimes they were frowning in confusion. In short, they were talking about the current situation. To be honest.

, Chen Qingzhi really has a sword that is still young. It only took him one night to capture 16 cities in Duanguo. This achievement is enough to shock the past and the present.

This made them both happy.

It seems that the blitzkrieg must be left to Chen Qingzhi.

After Zhao Changqing lost a son, he asked Zhuge Liang about Chen Qingzhi and their current situation.

Zhuge Liang replied: "According to the ministers, they should be guarding the border city of Duanguo, making camp step by step, trying to bring down the Tang or Song Dynasties."

Zhao Changqing was very satisfied with their approach.

This was also the strategy set from the beginning.

If we don't fight this battle, Wei will always be passive.

He said to Zhuge Liang: "With the current financial situation of the country, can we insist that our country continue to send troops to the border area?"

Zhuge Liang frowned and said: "I'm afraid it's very difficult. This year's financial situation is not ideal. First, it's because the previous war has caused too much trauma to our country. Second, it's the economic blockade of various countries. It's really hard for us, Wei."

It has had a certain impact on the country.”

At this moment, Zhao Changqing was holding a chess piece in his hand and was hesitating. Suddenly he saw a place where he could place the chess piece.

The spies from various countries are not fools to send more troops to the area. They must have noticed the difficulties our Wei country is facing at this moment, so at this moment, it is only right to fight against the odds!"

Zhuge Liang said: "I'm afraid it will take several more years after this battle for our country, Wei, to recover its strength."

Zhao Changqing sneered and said: "That was before! The current Wei State has a vast territory and can withstand hardships! Bai Qi was ordered to lead an army of 400,000 to gather at the border with Liang State. Zhao Yun was ordered to lead an army of 300,000 to quickly fight against

Chen Qingzhi met and ordered Xiao Yuming, who is currently in Jin, to recruit troops locally and train me an elite army in the shortest possible time. This time, I will completely beat Duan Guo! Let this

The small area knows one fact. If you refuse to cooperate with Wei, you will have to pay a price!"

In fact, Zhao Changqing wanted to fight Duan Guo from the beginning.

Otherwise, he wouldn't just tell Jia Xu that there is no need to successfully alienate Duan Guo, he only needs to let other countries see that Duan Guo is uncertain.

For Jia Xu, this is simply a piece of cake.

He was quite successful.

Otherwise, Duan Guo and Tang Guo would not have re-established an alliance in the future.

The renewed alliance was obviously more beneficial to Duan Country.

But now that the countries are fighting and rituals and music have collapsed, can this mere covenant still play as important a role as before?

This is an unknown quantity.

But for Wei State, the so-called alliance is nothing more than a dispensable thing.

Duan Guo is currently facing a huge dilemma.

Wei's actions this time were enough to let people with lofty ideals in the world see the courage of Emperor Wei.
