At the beginning of the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty, Zhao State occupied the largest territory and was the most powerful. However, Zhao State has been falling into civil strife since then.
On the other hand, Wei Wenhou worked hard to govern, came from behind, suppressed Zhao for nearly a hundred years, and built Ye City south of Zhangshui, firmly suppressing Zhao's sphere of influence north of Zhangshui, without any chance of developing southward.
As a descendant of Wei Wenhou, how could the King of Wei be willing to keep giving to Zhao's younger brother?
Besides, if he didn't go, who would the Wei army listen to? Zhao is the leader of the Hezong Alliance, and King Zhao has the highest status. No one in the Wei army can check and balance King Zhao, so in the end they must obey King Zhao's orders.
If he goes, not only obeying his orders, he can at least reject King Zhao's orders when they are unreasonable and strive for more benefits for Wei.
Fan Zuo suddenly became anxious, what is the level of King Zhao, and what level are you? Let alone level, have you fought in battles in so many years? Wouldn't it be a disservice to go to the front line? The soldiers not only have to face the Qin army, but also have to find ways to protect you.
"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be discussed again." Fan Zuo decided to use the dragging technique. King Wei is obviously on top now, so just wait for him to calm down.
"No need to discuss it further." King Wei waved his hand and said, "How many more soldiers can our Wei State recruit?"
"Your Majesty, the maximum is fifty thousand." Fan Zuo sighed.
"Then we will recruit another 50,000 people and tell all the people that I will definitely repel the Qin army and bring their relatives back." King Wei said loudly.
"No." Fan Zuo leaned over and bowed.
…
Anyi, the old capital of the Wei State, was once captured by the Qin State, and now it has returned to the hands of the Wei State. Although the Wei State suffered a major defeat, it did not lose much military strength and could barely hold on to Anyi.
Jin Bi sat at the top, his brows furrowed and his face looked tired. On both sides were Wei General Mang Mao and Zhao General Lecheng, Ju Xin.
"Thank you, Zhao Jun, for your help." Jin Bi said, cupping his hands.
"We, the Three Jin Dynasties, are dying, so helping Wei State is helping me, Zhao State." Le Cheng said.
It is said that he finally helped the Wei State to train the cavalry. In the face of life and death, these soldiers no longer insisted on the previous costumes and changed into Hu uniforms, which greatly improved the combat capabilities of the cavalry.
It is a pity that most of these well-trained cavalry were lost in the previous battle in order to cover the retreat of the large army. After this battle, they may have to start training again.
"The king has an order for the general to cooperate with the Wei army." Ju Xin said with clasped fists.
During this period, the Zhao army did not suffer much losses. After all, the Zhao army only had 3,000 troops in total. It could neither serve as the vanguard nor the rear. The Wei army also had to prevent the Zhao army from being wiped out. It was difficult to explain to the Zhao army, so the Zhao army never participated.
Fighting is like a mascot, wandering around in the army every day and not caring about anything.
"The Qin general Wang Lu is really powerful." Jin Bi sighed. Except for taking some advantages by counter-ambush at the beginning, he did not get any advantage from Wang Lu later. In the subsequent head-to-head battle, he even lost some advantages.
Completely at a disadvantage.
Wang Lu's attack is like wind and fire, and any flaw will be infinitely magnified in his hands, and then turned into his own victory.
This is just Wang Lu. If Bai Qi takes action, Jin Bi doubts that he will be able to stop him for even one round.
"I just got the news that the king plans to lead the expedition in person." At this time, Zhang Yan walked in from outside.
"What?"
"Really?" Jin Bi and Mang Mao suddenly jumped up from their seats.
"The army is already being organized." Zhang Yan said.
"What are those ministers doing to persuade the king to stop?" Mang Mao said angrily. If they were defeated on the front line, they would be defeated. If the King of Wei failed in his personal expedition, it would be a heavy blow to the entire Wei State.
of blow.
"Who can stop what the king has decided?" Zhang Yan asked rhetorically.
Mang Mao suddenly stopped talking. Yes, who can stop what King Wei has decided? No, someone can, "Where is Lord Long Yang?"
"Will Lord Long Yang oppose the decision made by the king?" Zhang Yan asked rhetorically. If King Wei's decision has not been announced yet, Lord Long Yang may still object, but it has already been announced. How could Lord Long Yang object, no matter what?
Whether it is right or wrong, I will support it.
"Hey." Everyone sighed.
"I'm going to inform the entire army. Since it can't be avoided, let's boost morale. Maybe it will be a good thing." Jin Bi got up and walked outside.
…
Qin State, Xianyang.
"Those wastes still haven't made cement?" Qin Wangji said angrily, his gray beard trembling in the air. It has been more than half a year, but they still haven't made cement. Is the gap between Qin and Zhao so big?
"Your Majesty, not yet..." Lu Buwei lowered his head and said. He was now hated to death by the Mohists and craftsmen of Qin. If he hadn't brought the cement back from Zhao, there wouldn't have been so many things.
"All of them will be demoted to subordinate ministers, and they will be restored to their previous status when they are created." Qin Wangji waved his sleeves and ordered.
"Your Majesty, no. During this period, craftsmen have been fleeing to other countries. If torture is carried out again, more craftsmen will escape." Lu Buwei dissuaded.
"Run away? Do you think that the laws of our Great Qin are nothing? Ten people do it together, one of them runs away, and the other nine sit together. I want to see who dares to run away." Qin Wangji said loudly.
"Your Majesty, there is news from the Kingdom of Wei, and the King of Wei is leading the expedition in person." At this time, Fan Ju quickly walked in holding the information.
】
"Hahaha, that fellow Wei Wangyu actually has the guts to lead a military expedition in person?" Qin Wangji heard the news and laughed loudly, "Since you have the guts, I will play with you. Someone, go and invite Lord Wu An.
Come."
"No." A guard walked outside.
Half an hour later, a man with a gray beard and a resolute face walked in from outside.
"Greetings to the king." Bai Qi leaned over and said.
"Sit down." Qin Wangji glanced at the information on the table, and the guard picked up the information and handed it to Bai Qi.
"I want to worship Lord Wu An as a general, but I wonder if Lord Wu An is willing?" Qin Wangji looked at Bai Qi and said majestically.
The previous tactics of the Qin State were to attract the main force of the Wei State in the east of Hedong, then capture South Korea's Sanchuan, force South Korea to Qin's side, break up the alliance between the three Jins, and then find a way to split the Wei State into two parts.
But when the King of Qin learned that the King of Wei was marching in person, he immediately changed his tactics. These benefits combined were not as great as the benefits of killing a King of Wei. As long as the King of Wei could be kept in Hedong forever, the three Jin Dynasties would naturally not attack Qin's blockade.
Self-destruction.
Without the Wei State as a link in the middle, the so-called unity of the three Jin Dynasties would be nothing more than a shell in name only.
"General, I obey." Bai Qi said coldly, took the military order, turned around and strode out of the palace.
