As soon as the edict of the Marquis of Wei was issued, the Central Plains region, which had just settled down, was turbulent again, and the army of the Changping battalion drove out of the city one after another and began to besiege some cities in Chendi.

And the surrounding Zheng State and even the Zhou family were full of fear of the mobilization of the Wei army, so they destroyed Tang and Xiao's two kingdoms, who is Wei going to take the knife?

Zheng Jun and the other countries thought that they were the ones who were going to be unlucky, so they immediately turned to the big country behind them for help, that is, the Qi State in the east.

But Qi had already understood the strategic intentions of Wei at this time, and after appeasing these little brothers, they watched from the sidelines.

Of course, the State of Qi is not completely inactive, in Ludi and Yuanjun County, which was captured by the Wei State at the beginning, the 100,000 troops of the State of Qi are also sharpening their knives, although they are ready to come in.

Although they had the appeasement of the eldest brother, the small countries below were still a little uneasy, and it was not until the people of Wei and Qin fought that they knew that the opponent who was making the move was not themselves.

On the fifth day of the sixth month, the Wei army besieged Xinlecheng, the old capital of the Chen State.

In the eighteenth year of Wei Zhaohou, Wei Wuji took Xinle after leaving Changping Pass, and even drank on the bank of the Ma River, which frightened the Zhou people to come in a hurry to reward the army.

But because of the civil strife in Wei at that time, Wei Wuji transferred all the Wei troops outside Changping Pass, and let these people follow him into Changping Pass to seize power, so Xinle and these places were picked up by Qin again.

In the following three years, Wei did not break out a major war with Qin in the west because of recuperation, so these places have always been under the occupation of Qin.

Therefore, now the Wei army's revisit to the old place actually has the meaning of recovering the lost territory, after all, this place was occupied by them before.

For Wei Wuji, the good news was that from the Tang State Xiao State, he got a batch of grain and grass, which was enough to cover more than half of Wei Wuji's expenses for sending troops to Chendi.

The occupied Tang and Xiao kingdoms have now begun to eliminate the impact of the war and gradually return to the right track...... Not surprisingly, Tang and Xiao will be able to pay taxes to Wei Wuji's central government next year.

Therefore, Wei Wuji is still very confident in starting this war, even if the battle situation is not smooth and he retreats to Changping Pass, the loss will not be great.

In Xinle City, the captain of the Qin State stood on the city tower with a frosty face, looking at the more and more Wei troops gathering under the city, but he was extremely helpless in his heart.

Because of the confrontation with Wei at the Wei River, the eastern battalion of Qin Guodong drew troops from them, and even the supreme commander in Xinle City was actually only one of his captains.

In other words, there are only 3,000 defenders in Xinle City, and looking at the size of the Wei army outside, there are more than 430,000 people!

"My lord, the Wei army is powerful, please make a decision early!" The soldier next to him said that his so-called early decision was actually to let his boss and his subordinates escape quickly.

Although there are many people from Wei now, they have not yet reached the encirclement of Xinle, and as long as they want to run, they can still run away.

Although they were infantry soldiers, when they transferred their men and horses before, they still left them nearly 3,000 military horses, in order to abandon the city directly when they couldn't defeat them.

The lieutenant looked at the Wei army in the distance, and the last bit of defense in his heart was also crushed by his deputy...... Yes, you can't beat it, so why not run?

At first, the lieutenant was still thinking about Xiping's reinforcements, but after seeing more and more troops from the Wei State, he knew that Xiping would definitely not be able to count on it.

"Herald ......"

When he heard these two words, the soldier next to him was nervous, and he didn't know what orders his boss would give.

Then the lieutenant continued: "The whole army assembles, opens the west gate and sets out...... All out! ”

These words made this soldier in the army, as well as several lieutenants next to him, feel relieved, as long as they were not sent to death.

It's not terrible to die, but it's pointless to keep it like this, and no one wants to die meaninglessly.

Under the persecution of the Death Captain, the Qin soldiers moved much faster than usual, and they were all assembled in place after a while.

Under the leadership of Lord Duwei, this lone army of the Qin State stationed in Xinle quietly left his station.

Unlike the joy of other people's escape, this Qin State Lieutenant's heart was extremely heavy at this time, because he would be charged with escaping from the battle, and it would be a dead end if he went back.

Seeing the deputy galloping next to him join the army, the lieutenant said: "Lao Zheng, my family is young, I will entrust you to take care of it in the future!" ”

This Zheng Senjun thought for a while before he understood what his boss meant, he wanted to say something comforting, but that would also seem hypocritical, so he said, "My lord, my subordinates...... Got it! ”

…………

In Xinle City, the Wei army entered the city peacefully, and the main general Zhang Jun returned to the original handsome hall.

"After four years, Ben will be back!" Zhang Jun stood in the lobby, looking inside and out, full of joy.

It was he who was responsible for guarding Xinle at the beginning, and it was he who gave up Xinle with the army after receiving Wei Wuji's military order, and returned to Changping Pass to help Wei Wuji stabilize the situation.

Probably to make up for Zhang Jun's regrets, the monarch's edict specifically mentioned that he should take over Xinle, and the rest of the 40,000 troops went straight to Xiping County.

This time, Wei used 50,000 troops, and only 10,000 of the 30,000 troops on the side of Xinlecheng left him, and the other 20,000 troops will immediately set off for Xiping.

Xiping is a city adjacent to the border between Chen and Qin, and it will also be a key place for confrontation with Qin, so it is natural to send more troops.

…………

On the second day after Zhang Jun took Xinle, Wang Xiu also led the army to take Xiping, and the Qin army here also retreated without a fight.

Entering the city with several generals, Wang Xiu's whole person was not happy after the victory, but a little more heavy.

Because, in the edict of the king, it will be he Wang Xiu who will preside over the affairs of this war, which means that he will become the commander of this war.

Although he was at the forefront, Wang Xiu also knew very well in his heart that the generals behind him were not convinced, so his opponents were not only from the Qin State.

At this time, the three generals who followed behind Wang Xiu. They are cavalry general Chen Zhan, infantry general Zuo Yuanhu, and infantry general Tie Shan.

Needless to say, Chen Zhan is also the person who has followed Wei Wuji for a long time, and Zuo Yuanhu is the descendant of Wei Wuji's line...... These two people are also the most dissatisfied with Wang Xiu.

Tie Shan is impartial, he is a close confidant of the former Marquis Zhao, and the new monarch did not deprive him of his military power after succeeding to the throne, mostly because he would not let himself be involved in the power struggle to provoke right and wrong.

These Wang Xiu can think of it, so Tie Shan has become the person he tries his best to woo.

Of course, this does not mean that Wang Xiu is going to treat the other two as enemies, and if he makes the contradiction clear, he will already lose.

Wang Xiu can understand what the monarch means, Chen Zhan and Zuo Yuanhu are the whetstones for him, if he can suppress the situation, then the unresolved Changping battalion commander will fall on his head without accident.

At this time, Wang Xiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart...... Your Majesty! You look up to Weichen too much!

But when he thought of Liu Xuanba, who had now been promoted to the Xiangping camp, Wang Xiu's heart suddenly rose with pride, why can't others do it themselves?

You must know that between him and Liu Xuanba, he Wang Xiu was more relied on by the prince!

Although the latter two people are cronies of the monarch, why not he? Not only was it, but he was one of the first people to confess the Lord.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiu couldn't help but tighten the hilt of the sword in his hand, he was ready to face all challenges!

And behind Wang Xiu, Chen Zhan was also staring at the back in front of him at this time, which would be his competitor in the next few years.

In today's Changping camp, in addition to Zuo Yuanhu who came with him this time, there are also Zhu Xiao and Fang Xuan, who are both confidants of the monarch.

But these people are not his opponents, so he is the only one who competes for the main opponent of the Changping camp, Wang Xiu, who is the oldest.

Now it seems that Wang Xiu is ahead of the curve, but he Chen Zhan is by no means willing to admit defeat, he always has to fight for himself.

After walking up to the West Gate Gate Tower of Xiping City, Wang Xiu glanced at the Changyuan Mountain Range looming in the distance, and said with a heavy face: "Everyone, Chen Guo is now Wei Di!" ”
