Chapter Twenty-Four: The Unpredictable Great Power

Korea eventually reached a settlement with Pang Juan, Pang Juan handed over Xinzheng, and South Korea provided Pang Juan with grain and grass to withdraw to Wei. When the secret spy that had already been arranged conveyed this information to Ying Qian's army, Ying Qian and Wei Kai had already led the broken Qin army to retreat to Luoshui.

When Wei Kai received the Qi State's troops this time and did not send Tian Ji, Wei Kai suggested to Ying Qian that the Qin army begin to retreat. If Tian Ji did not lead the troops, Wei Kai did not think that anyone in the Qi State was willing to worship Sun Bin as his military advisor, and he calmly adopted Sun Bin's suggestion. After all, Sun Bin later led the Qi army to defeat the Wei army, laying the foundation for Qi hegemony, and Sun Bin was still blamed by the Qi people. Or to be precise, Wei Kai didn't think that the Qi army without Sun Bin could defeat the Wei Wushu commanded by Pang Juan.

However, the most surprising thing is that King Han actually swore an alliance with Pang Juan again in the suburbs of Xinzheng. When Wei Kai and Ying Qian heard the news, the two smiled helplessly at each other, not knowing what to say about it. Either Han Wu is a king who is good at forbearance and has a strategy; Either Han Wu is a gentleman who repays grievances with virtue and is broad-minded, but he is not a qualified king.

Although the Qin army defeated the Wei army in Shaoliang this time, for the Wei state, which is still huge, this does not change anything, especially when Gongsun Yan also gave up his pawn in time to protect the commander and save the remaining Wei army in Hexi, and the Qin State failed to capture Shaoliang City.

This is very dangerous for the Qin State. Neither could force Wei to sue for peace, nor could he form an alliance with Han Zhao, thus putting pressure on Wei, and now Wei's main force has not been lost. For Wei Wangying, Wei Kai didn't have to think about it, Qin was about to suffer from Wei's revenge, after all, Han and Zhao Erguo offended Wei Wangying at that time, and Wei Wangying ignored the feelings of his ancestors and insisted on crusading against Zhao and Han for nearly ten years.

The King of Qin has not recovered from his serious injuries, and now the Wei State is eyeing the tiger, and the situation in the Qin State is complicated, which makes Wei Kai also very worried.

At this time, Wei Kai, who was dealing with the grain and grass accounts, heard footsteps. Wei Kai didn't have to think about it. Then they knew that the man was a god. This time, Wei Kai, who took the initiative to stay after the break, was used by Ying Qian as the chief manager of the marching grain and grass and the military advisor, so he often came to find Wei Kai late at night and talked about military affairs.

Although Wei Kai was only a sixteen-year-old boy, Wei Kai had lived two lives after all, and soon became familiar with the bold Ying Qian, and after a while, Wei Kai saw Ying Qian who had just finished patrolling military affairs.

"Brother Wei Kai", Ying Qian was rarely happy today, and he said to Wei Kai with two pots of wine in his hand.

After Ying Qian sat down, Wei Kai put the processed accounts in turn in front of Ying Qian. Ying Qian looked at Wei Kai's appearance, and said with a smile: "It's time to Luoshui, after Luoshui, we can reach Liyang in one day."

Wei Kai didn't seem to listen to Ying Qian's speech, and when the accounts were all placed, he said: "This is today's grain and grass account, this is tomorrow's .......", Ying Qian looked at Wei Kai and kept talking about grain and grass, pushed open the desk with his hand, and put the neatly placed accounts and said: "The second brother has news that my father-in-law has woken up."

Wei Kai said: "I already know, I still sent someone to inform Gongzi of this news." When Ying Qian heard this, he looked at Wei Kai who was still sorting out the accounts, frowned, and said very strangely: "Brother Wei Kai, you..."

After Wei Kai put the accounts away again, he looked at Ying Qian and said word by word: "Eldest prince, I am ready to leave the Qin army tomorrow ......"

When Ying Qian heard this, he was shocked when he learned that Wei Kai was leaving, and immediately stood up and said to Wei Kai: "Mr. Wei Kai, is it that my Qin Jun did not take good care of Mr. Wei Kai?" Or did I win and treat Brother Wei Kai badly? Just say it, and I'll win the pious ........."

Wei Kai looked at Ying Qian's appearance, hugged his fists and said to Ying Qian: "The eldest prince has not made any rudeness to Wei Kai."

After hearing this, Ying Qian looked at Wei Kai for a while, and said slowly, "Then why are you leaving?" ”

"Eldest prince, do you know that the Qin State is very critical now?"

"Sir, the Qin State is in danger now, but is it the time when the Qin State needs Mr.?"

After Wei Kai heard the sermon, he said: "Now that the monarch has woken up, there are eldest and second princes in Qin, and there is no worry about Qin's country for the time being. Eldest prince, now the key lies in the Wei State."

"Wei Guo ,.........", after Ying Qian heard it, he was also silent for a while.

Although, before this attack on Wei, Ying Qian understood that Qin would attack Wei, and Wei would definitely attack Qin, and there was never a thing in this world that only took advantage of it and did not suffer losses. The Qin State is weak, and it will take a long time before it can fight again, and the Wei State is strong, so it can immediately condense its combat power and attack Qin again.

As soon as he thought of his father's injury, Ying Qian was angry in his heart, patted the case, and said loudly: "Then the Wei people come again, grandpa is just ........ revenge for the monarch's father", without waiting for Ying Qian to finish speaking, Wei Kai looked at Ying Qian and said: "The eldest son, the old Qin people are bitter."

As a Wei person, Wei Kai knows the suffering of the old Qin people, and how can he not know the suffering of the Qin people. But the Qin State was too poor, and it was rejected by the Shandong States, and it would perish without a fight. Seeing the old Qin people with farm tools, ragged, charging towards the elite Wei army, row after row fell; Holding farm tools and attacking the old men and children of the heavily armed Wei soldiers, Ying Qian now thinks back now, his heart is like a knife, and old tears are flowing.

Bow to Lao Qin, go to the national disaster together; Defend the old Qin, restore my rivers and mountains; Blood is not shed, and death is not a truce. This lyric has not only been sung by the old Qin people for generations, but the old Qin people have also shed blood from generation to generation, just like this lyric wrote. The old Qin people are not afraid of death, but they can't die in vain.

When Ying Qian heard what Wei Kai said, he sat down in silence, took a sip of wine, and said, "Sir, that..."

Wei Kai said: "Wei Kai decided to go to the Shandong countries to lobby the kings of the countries to change the current diplomatic predicament of our Qin State and unite the countries to deal with the strength of the Wei State."

Ying Qian said: "United countries ......, but the countries are at both ends of the rat this time, and they are afraid that it will not succeed."

Wei Kai said: "Wei acted hegemonically, and all countries have been oppressed by Wei for a hundred years. The countries were afraid of Wei, so they had the idea of uniting the states to deal with Wei. This time, Wei betrayed the alliance and attacked Han, which made all the countries in the world see clearly the wolf ambition of Wei. Although the countries did not jointly attack Wei this time, the siege of the Wei army by Zhao and Han, and the great victory of our Qin army in Hexi, also made the countries see the strength of Wei clearly. The strength of the Wei State is strong, but it is not that it cannot be fought against it, and it has to fight against it. In addition, it also allows the countries to see clearly who is the enemy of Wei and who is their friend, and only by forming an alliance with each other can they deal with Wei. ”

After hearing this, Ying Qian nodded, put the flask on the table and said, "Sir, how does it work?" ”

Wei Kai said: "Alliance Qi, as long as the Qi State hesitates a little about my Qin State, the countries will have their own disputes. I, the Qin State, will be able to get a respite to deal with a potentially strong enemy. Even if the Wei State crusaded against our Qin State, it would have to consider the attack of the Qi State behind it, and the pressure on our army would be greatly reduced. ”

Ying Qian looked at Wei Kai's firm eyes after speaking, and knew that Wei Kai's heart from Qin could not be changed, so he clasped his fists and saluted Wei Kai and said, "Ying Qian thanked Mr. Wei Kai on behalf of my old Qin people", and then drank to thank him.

Wei Kai looked at Ying Qian's appearance, and thought that he had come to the Qin State to be courteous and able to display his talents, and he was also greatly moved, so he also drank and said, "Respect the Qin State, respect the Qin people."

After hearing this, Ying Qian also said loudly: "Respect the Qin country, respect the Qin people."

At night, the Luoshui is turbulent, and the snow-white waves are shining under the moonlight, lapping on both banks. The Qin army stationed here, listening to the sound of the waves, did not know whether to return to the excitement of Liyang, or nostalgia for the homeland of Hexi, and could not sleep peacefully for a long time.

Wei State, Anyi.

Gongzi, who fled back to Anyi, is now sighing in his own house. Although he was lucky enough to escape the pursuit of the Qin army, the crime of escaping from the battle was not worrying about the prince. As soon as he thought that he was besieged by the Qin army, Gongzi Wei hated Gongsun acne to the core, and thought to himself: It's all because Gongsun acne didn't cooperate with him, so that the Qin army could sneak attack his entire army, and he would be defeated and flee.

Now the key lies in the attitude of King Wei, Gongzi Wei thought in his heart. But as for the temperament of King Wei, he originally thought that he could clear up the prince, but now he is confused. At the beginning, he was above the court and took the initiative to ask for a war in Hexi, but Wei did not agree, but later when Gongsun Yan led the army to aid Hexi, the King of Wei suddenly ordered himself to lead 50,000 cavalry to follow, which made the current Gongzi Wei very puzzled.

However, the key now is the will of King Wei.

After the king of Wei in the Wei palace received the battle report of Xiangguo Gongsun Xuan, he said lightly to the people in the military department: "Well, the Qin army in Hexi has retreated after all." When the military officials present heard the news, they all breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the news of the Qin army's defeat of the Hexi Wei army was too terrifying. The two-day transfer of military headquarters and personnel arrangements made the officers present feel both frightened and tired, but they were finally over.

At this time, an official suddenly came out to report: "The king, the prince is coming to the battle to get out of ........" After hearing this, King Wei put down the teacup he was about to pick up, glanced at the official, and the official felt the unpleasant gaze cast by King Wei, so he hurriedly retreated and did not continue.

King Wei looked at the military officials under the court, asked a few words, and left.

Regarding the matter of Gongzi, King Wei has already made a decision in his heart. After returning to the dormitory, Wei Wangying sent his chamberlain to summon Gongzi. Thinking of Gongzi Wei, King Wei could only say that the mud was really muddy and couldn't support the wall, and he handed over the elite Wei army iron cavalry to Gongzi Wei, and actually ended up in a big defeat, but Gongzi Wei led the army, which was a thoughtful arrangement of King Wei.

The King of Wei ruled for many years and found that he could not fully mobilize the Wei State, and the influence of the clan was gradually deepening, restricting the power of the King of Wei, among which the Gongsun of Xiangguo was the most prosperous. Although Gongsun Acne has become a ruler of the country and has assisted himself for many years, the power of the prime minister and the royal power have always been opposed, and there are still a bunch of Wei clans standing behind Gongsun Acne. This time, he let his fortunate minister lead the army, which inevitably meant that he had the power of the prince of the country.

It's just a pity, King Wei thought to himself. However, Gongzi Wei can't be punished heavily, otherwise he will be slapping himself in the face and telling others that he doesn't know anyone, but a proper beating is still necessary.
