After hearing Zheng Zhu's words, Wei Wuji was silent for a while.

Zheng Zhu didn't urge, and after finishing speaking, he sat very leisurely on the side, waiting for Wei Wuji's reply.

In Zheng Zhu's opinion, Wei Wuji was bound to give in.

After all, before setting off from Handan this time, Zheng Zhu saw Zhao Dan's face so gloomy for the first time.

Who is Zhao Dan? Today's Zhao Dan is one of the only two overlords in the land of China, who is as famous as Qin Wangji.

When such an overlord wants to do something with an iron heart, few people dare to disobey his will.

Anyone who dares to disobey must be prepared to die.

In Zheng Zhu's opinion, Wei Wuji was obviously not ready to die, so Wei Wuji would definitely agree to Zhao Dan's request.

Zheng Zhu was not wrong at all.

After only a few breaths, Wei Wuji raised his head and a smile appeared on his face: "What the envoy said is very true, I have decided to leave the camp tomorrow and go south to rescue Pengcheng!" ”

Wei Wuji's tone was very sure and relaxed, which made Zheng Zhu a little surprised.

You must know that what Zheng Zhu just said was very unkind.

In Zheng Zhu's mind, a high-powered and arrogant figure like Wei Wuji, after hearing these words, he couldn't say that he had to be angry first, and then he realized the huge gap between Wei and Zhao under Zheng Zhu's sharp words, and finally he was forced to agree to the request to withdraw from Taoyi.

But the current situation is completely different from what Zheng Zhu imagined.

But in any case, since Wei Wuji had agreed to this matter, then Zheng Zhu's purpose of coming this time had already been achieved.

Therefore, Zheng Zhu also stood up very easily, and smiled at Wei Wuji: "Since this is the case, then I will wait for the moment when Xinlingjun returns victoriously!" ”

Wei Wuji didn't talk nonsense, and recruited a confidant general and ordered him to take Zheng Zhu to arrange accommodation.

After another moment, the henchman returned to the big tent and returned to Wei Wuji: "The envoy has arranged to stay. ”

Wei Wuji nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said to the confidant general: "I have made up my mind, tomorrow morning, the whole army will pull out the camp and go south to rescue Pengcheng, and you will immediately tell the whole army this order." ”

As soon as the confidant general heard this order, he was immediately stunned.

After a few seconds, the confidant general came back to his senses and hurriedly spoke to dissuade him: "General, although the resistance in Taoyi is extremely tenacious now, in terms of the combat effectiveness of our army, it can only be conquered in another ten days and a half months. ”

These words are not only dissuasion, but have even begun to have a bit of questioning.

To be honest, this is somewhat of a suspicion of the following crimes.

But Wei Wuji didn't seem to care about this, but looked at the confidant general in front of him with a smile, and asked another question: "In your opinion, can the Zhao State tolerate the Wei State becoming stronger?" ”

"Can't!"

"Then can the Qin State tolerate the Wei State being strong?"

"Neither can it!"

"Then among the countries in the world, which country can tolerate Wei becoming strong?"

"There is no country!"

Wei Wuji smiled and nodded, agreeing with this answer: "Since this is the case, then you should know that the strength of the Wei State can only rely on our Wei people to work hard, and you cannot hope for other countries. ”

The confidant general obviously seemed to have been a little confused by Wei Wuji's words, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Didn't you say that Taoyi was withdrawn? Why did it suddenly become the strength of the Wei State again.

Wei Wuji smiled and patiently explained to this henchman: "Now that Zhao is the overlord of the world and the leader of the alliance of the Three Jins, it is difficult for Wei to be strong in strength, so I can't disobey King Zhao's orders." ”

"But that King Zhao is not the king of Wei, how can he mobilize the Wei army?" Happiness looked obviously somewhat unconvinced.

Wei Wuji smiled very meaningfully, and said, "It's all because of Zhao Qiang and Wei is weak." ”

After a pause, Wei Wuji continued to say to the henchman who still had his dissatisfaction written on his face: "Actually, even if King Zhao doesn't send an envoy here, after conquering Taoyi, I will lead this army south to rescue Pengcheng. ”

"Why is that?" The henchmen were clearly puzzled.

"I have something to ask you, in your opinion, between the Qi State and the Chu State now, which is stronger and which is weaker?"

"Naturally, the Qi State is strong and the Chu State is weak, otherwise, how can the Qi army break the Chu army in Lanling?"

"Not bad." Wei Wuji nodded approvingly and said, "It is precisely because of this that I can't let the Chu State be completely defeated in this great war. ”

Qi and Chu are both strong neighbors of Wei, and since the time of King Huai of Chu, the two countries of Qi and Chu have begun to take over the grudge, the battle of Chuisha and the war of the five kingdoms of Qi pushed the grudge to a climax, and this time the battle of Lanling added a heavy touch to the grievances between Qi and Chu.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the Qi and Chu states to reconcile in a short period of time.

Therefore, as long as the strength of Chu and Qi is comparable, then sooner or later these two countries will go to war again.

If the difference in strength is too large, it may not be able to fight.

Therefore, since the current Qi State has obviously surpassed the Chu State, then Wei Wuji must find a way to weaken the Qi State and make the Qi State become a weak country on the same level as the Chu State.

So even without Zhao Dan's strong order, Wei Wuji would still go south to help Chu.

Of course, Wei Wuji didn't think that he could defeat the 200,000 Qi army by relying on 20,000 Wei troops, but it was still possible to delay the pace of the Qi army's march.

Wei Wuji said, smiling again: "And you don't know, this time the envoy of the Zhao State came to actually do us a great favor!" ”

"Busy?" Although he has tried to keep up with Xin Lingjun's train of thought, but so far in this conversation, this confidant general has inevitably fallen into a state of confusion.

Seeing this, Wei Wuji no longer embarrassed this poor subordinate, but directly waved his hand and said to this subordinate: "You can go and pass the order." ”

After the henchmen and generals left, Wei Wuji sat alone for a moment before suddenly speaking, "Tang Ji." ”

The next moment, there was suddenly an extra person in the big tent that was obviously empty except for Wei Wuji, and he saluted Wei Wuji: "The minister is here." ”

Wei Wuji looked at the intelligence leader who was in charge of the entire intelligence network of the Xinling Monarch's Mansion with a calm gaze: "In my army, can there be a Qin State to work hard?" ”

Zhang Xue nodded very affirmatively and said, "There are a total of seventeen people, all of whom are subordinates of Hou. But you want to arrest them all? ”

"Nope." Wei Wuji shook his head with a smile and said, "I hope that you can let these Qin State spies bring the envoys of Zhao State to the camp, and the news that I will withdraw my troops will be transmitted back to Taoyi as soon as possible, and let the people in Taoyi be convinced that I am indeed going south to aid Chu." ”

Tang He was silent for a moment and said, "The minister understands. ”

Early the next morning, 20,000 Wei troops left the city of Taoyi and headed south without looking back.

That night, 5,000 elites of the Wei State suddenly killed a horse pistol and attacked Taoyi City when the defenders were lax and careless.

After a night of fierce fighting, Taoyi was officially declared to have fallen, and the entire Taojun County was now completely in the hands of Wei.
