Wei Si and Chen Zhen came to the courtyard where Zhuang Zhou lectured for three days and listened to Zhuang Zhou's lecture.

However, Wei Si has never revealed his identity, and because Zhuang Zhou didn't know Wei Si before, he naturally didn't know that one of his students was the current King of Wei.

When it was dark that day, Wei Si took Chen Zhen back to the palace, and Chen Zhen asked Wei Si curiously:

"My lord, are you planning to come to listen to Master Zhuang's lectures every day in the future? Don't you consider hiring Master Zhuang to go to Daliang to help govern the country? ”

Wei Si replied:

"Of course, Zhuang Fuzi's lectures have his own set, and the widow likes it very much, but what Zhuang Fuzi likes to pursue now is freedom, I'm afraid that even if the widow asks him to return to Daliang, he probably won't agree, and Zhuang Fuzi's doctrine is really not of great benefit to our Wei State today, so the widow can only hold the plan to listen!"

Chen Zhen smiled lightly:

"Yes, after all, Master Zhuang's doctrine should be perfect for a unified country, but in today's era of competing countries for power and wars, it is really a bit reluctant!"

Wei Si also sighed and said:

"Alas...... Mengfuzi and Zhuangfuzi may only be suitable for writing books, speaking, lecturing and the like, I haven't been back to Daliang to visit Mengfuzi for a long time! ”

Chen Zhen said:

"Your Majesty, you must have forgotten because you were busy with political affairs, right? When I came back from the state of Chu, I met Master Meng in Yan Ying, the land of Chu, and consulted with him, but it seemed that he did not want to be the official of this lecture in the state of Wei, and had already left on his own! ”

Wei Si was stunned:

"Why is this still the case? Meng Fuzi left the Wei State, the widow actually has no news at all, it seems that after I return to Liang, I have to question those Liang officials, but no one has reported the departure of Meng Fuzi to find me a king! ”

Chen Zhen said:

"King, I don't think it's necessary, after all, sages like Meng Fuzi and Zhuang Fuzi have come and gone without a trace, and Meng Fuzi can stay in our Wei Kingdom for so long, it is already good to teach the children of the palace for you, the king!"

Wei Si thought about it for a while, too, so he changed the topic and said:

"I haven't received the Hexi battle report in the past few days, and it seems that the widow has to come to the Hexi battlefield in person!"

Chen Zhen hurriedly persuaded:

"King, the situation on the Hexi battlefield is undecided and dangerous, can you go!"

Wei Si was somewhat determined to go to the Hexi battlefield:

"This battle in Hexi is related to the rise and fall of our Wei Kingdom in the future, and it is really difficult for the widow to sit in peace in this Anyi, and Miss Zilian and Su Qin, I guess they may also go to Hexi, which makes the widow even more worried!"

Chen Zhen saw that the King of Wei seemed to have made up his mind to go to Hexi, so he said:

"Okay, since the king must go to Hexi, then when he returns to the palace, the minister will arrange it!"

Wei Si nodded:

"Be quick, the widow will leave tomorrow!"

After returning to the palace, Wei Si Bingzhu reviewed the important government affairs sent from various places today, and then fell asleep directly in front of the table.

The next day, early in the morning, under the protection of Chen Zhen and hundreds of personal guards, Wei Si began to go to the front line in Hexi.

At this time, on the battlefield of Hexi, Gongsun Yan led Wei Wushu, Wei Mang, and some new troops were confronting the Qin army under the Dali City on the bank of Luoshui, after all, at this time, Shangluo and the land of Diaoyin had been completely restored to the Wei realm, and between Hexi and Luoshui, in addition to this Dali City, the others had also been taken by the Wei army.

Gongsun Yan was sitting on the chariot under his command at this time, followed by Zhai Zhang and Gongsun Xi, Zhai Zhang commanded Wei Mang, and Gongsun Xi commanded Wei Wu.

I only heard Gongsun Xi very happily pointed to Da Licheng not far away and said to Gongsun Yan:

"Xiangbang, as long as we take this Dali today, we can recover all the Hexi land of our Wei Kingdom!"

Gongsun Yan recalled some past events:

"Yes, I remember that the entire Hexi land of Wei was taken by my Gongsun Yan for the Qin State, but I didn't expect that now, my Gongsun Yan is actually going to help the Wei State counterattack back, it's really unexpected!"

Zhai Zhang also said on the side:

"Yes, I remember when I was young, how powerful the Wei State was at that time, the army under the leadership of General Pang Juan, the east and the west, did not meet the enemy, and now our powerful Wei State has finally been revived again!"

Gongsun Yan was also very complacent:

"Then today is the day to witness the revival of our Wei Kingdom!"

After speaking, he ordered people to send 3,000 dead soldiers to try to attack this big Licheng.

And what Su Qin and Zilian didn't expect was that the two of them were actually among the three thousand dead.

However, after these 3,000 dead soldiers came to Dali City, they found that the guards on the city wall seemed to be all old, weak, sick and disabled, and there were even women and children.

The captain who led these dead soldiers to the city brought Zou Yi to the city, and when he saw this scene, he laughed loudly at the old general on the city wall who was nearly seventy years old and still wearing armor:

"Hahaha...... Hahaha, just you old and weak women and children, still guarding the city? Hurry down and surrender, lest there be a fight later, blaming our Wei army for being unkind! ”

The old general on the upper floor of this city smiled lightly and said loudly to this Zou Yi:

"Don't underestimate us people, you have the ability, you can attack it now?"

Zou Yi replied:

"Okay, that's what you old guy said yourself, don't blame us!"

Then he was about to give the order to prepare for the siege, but was stopped by a pawn who ran over:

"General, don't be so reckless, this is a huge big Licheng, and it is also the only line of defense of the Qin army in the east of Luoshui now, it is impossible for the Qin army to only let these old, weak, sick and disabled people guard it, there must be fraud in it!"

Zou Yi glanced at the little pawn and said a little angrily:

"You little soldier, what right do you have to disturb the morale of the army here, be careful that my military law serves you!"

This pawn wanted to persuade again, but he was directly dragged down, this pawn was none other than Su Qin, and the person who pulled Su Qin away was Zi Lian and another recruit Tian Wen who came from Anyi and was the same age as the two of them.

I only listened to this Tian Wen persuade Su Qin:

"Su Ji, don't be so reckless, since we are soldiers, of course we have to obey the orders of the generals!"

Zi Lian also persuaded Su Qin together:

"Yes, Ji Zi, even if you think this is a trick of the Qin army, it's useless, this general won't listen to you!"

As a result, these 3,000 dead soldiers began to attack this Dali City, after all, the enemy guards were all old, weak, sick and disabled, how could they resist the young and strong 3,000 dead soldiers of the Wei State, so Dali City was soon breached.

So Zou Yi sent someone to report the good news to Gongsun Yan, Gongsun Yan also led a large army and began to prepare to enter the city, after all, Gongsun Yan did not expect that the Qin army would give up this Da Licheng, after all, after occupying Da Licheng, Gongsun Yan could finally reply to the King of Wei to report his merits.

After Su Qin, Zilian, and Tian Wen entered the city, they were separated from the other Wei soldiers who began to plunder as soon as they entered the city.

The three of them passed by a wine shop in the city at this time, and suddenly Tian Wen pointed to a shopkeeper who was kneeling outside the wine shop and was about to surrender, and said to Su Qin and Zi Lian:

"Look, how do the shoes of the second child in this store look like they are worn by soldiers?"

Su Qin and Zi Lian immediately looked at it and found that the shoes worn by the shopkeeper were indeed worn by the soldiers of the Qin State, and the three of them came around the shopkeeper together, only to hear Su Qin ask:

"Are you a helper at this shop?"

The shopkeeper nodded with a nervous expression:

"Yes!"

Su Qin pointed to the shoes on the shopkeeper's feet again:

"Then why are you wearing military shoes?"

The shopkeeper was nervous for a moment and didn't know how to answer, so when the three of them didn't pay attention, they just pulled out their legs and ran.

Su Qin, Zilian, and Tian Wen, how could they let it run, a few people pounced on it and arrested the shopkeeper, and then pulled him to an alley for interrogation.

After some coercion and intimidation, the shopkeeper finally couldn't hold it and told the truth.

It turned out that this shopkeeper was also a soldier of the Qin State, and it was their general who asked them to pretend to surrender in the city.

So Su Qin asked again:

"Then how many soldiers of the Qin State are there who surrender like this?"

Fake Xiao Er replied:

"I don't know, it should be all the guards of Dali City, there are probably more than 30,000 people!"

At this time, Su Qin, Zilian and Tian Wen were directly shocked.

I only heard Tian Wen say:

"The 30,000 elite Qin soldiers did not defend the city, and they actually chose to pretend to be the people to surrender, this must be a fraud!"

Zi Lian also said:

"Yes, it seems that the Qin army is deliberately trying to lure our Wei army into the city!"

Su Qin immediately said:

"Not good!"

After leaving the two of them, he ran desperately out of the city by himself.

Zilian wanted to follow Su Qin, but was stopped by Tian Wen:

"Brother Zitong, it's useless for you to follow Su Ji now, let's go and find other clues together!"

Zi Lian took a closer look at this Tian Wen at this time and asked:

"Brother Yitian is so dignified, it seems that he shouldn't be a soldier born like me and other untouchables, right?"

Tian Wen smiled lightly:

"Brother Zitong, aren't you too? The long white and pure, actually came to be a soldier, I see that you must be like the Su Ji brothers, you are a talent who is rich and rich, right? ”

Zi Lian smiled bitterly at Tian Wen:

"Where can I compare with Mr. Su Ji?"

The two of them were talking while testing the situation in Dali City, and when they came to a remote corner, they were surrounded by a group of vendors dressed as people.

After a while, the shopkeeper walked up to the two of them, pointed at the two of them, and said to the bearded vendors around them:

"General, it's them, they've just discovered our whereabouts!"

The bearded vendor came over and said to Tian Wen and Zilian:

"Since you know that we are disguised, then don't blame us for being rude!"

Then on Friday the others ordered:

"Execute both of them on the spot!"

At this time, Tian Wen immediately took out a token and put it in front of the bearded vendor:

"Take a good look at who I am, you dare to touch me?"

The bearded general snatched the token from Tian Wen's hand, and after taking a look, he ordered someone to arrest the two of them first and take them to a secret mansion in the city.
