The court of the Wei State, under the illumination of the sun, looks a little resplendent.

King Wei Hui was high above, his eyes glancing at someone below from time to time, watching this person's expression change. In his hand, he was playing with a piece of jasper, stopping from time to time, retracting his eyes, his facial expression frozen, thinking about a certain question and becoming distracted.

In the court, all the civil and military officials stood on both sides, not daring to speak casually, looking cautious. No! It's a scared look.

If there is no etiquette hierarchy, no one wants to stand in the most conspicuous place to avoid being scolded. Stand behind others and be too seen by this changer, and you will be fine.

Only a few old ministers who had figured out the psychology of King Wei Hui looked indifferent. They know! If you don't provoke him, King Wei Hui won't trouble you. You do your best, and he cares about you. If you want to please and fail to get things done, you will definitely be scolded.

King Wei Hui saw that his courtiers had nothing to say, and prepared to retreat. They dispersed back to their offices, so as not to upset him by standing here.

These people! Most of them eat mixed rice, and they don't have the ability to do things. If it weren't for necessity, none of these officials could do without. For people who eat for nothing, it is better to raise you than to raise a pet dog.

But there are a lot of officials who are hereditary, and you can't get rid of them. Plainly! These hereditary officials all eat the food of their ancestors. I don't know which generation of their ancestors got into this position, but this official position has been inherited since then.

Nimabi! Out of breath!

"Report!" That's it! A communications officer came in from the outside.

"Come in!" King Wei Hui waved his arm and shouted.

These days! King Wei Hui had been discussing with his courtiers why Qi had done this: to tell them about Bai Gui, and then to tell Bai Gui's family to run away. What do you mean?

It's a pity! None of his courtiers convinced him of his explanations. So! These days, he is not in a very good mood!

A military spy came in and reported, "Report to the Lord! According to the reconnaissance of our military, the state of Chu gathered a large number of troops and moved to the northern border. According to the report of the spies we arranged in Qi State, the Qi State side is also gathering troops on the border of Zhao State, and it looks like they will fight at any time. Strangely yes? Zhao Guo doesn't seem to be moving! So! Lord, ask for a decision! ”

King Wei Hui didn't speak, and turned his gaze to a young military general in the front row of the hall. This is a young man in his twenties, but judging from his configuration, he should be a big man. Otherwise! He could not carry a sword on such occasions.

"Return to the Lord! This is a sign that the Zhao State is going to be dispatched! The young military general walked out of the queue and stood in front of King Wei Hui's case.

King Wei Hui's desk was high above, at least three steps from the court floor below. At the intersection leading to the case of King Wei Hui, four heavily armed guards stood with swords in their hands.

"General!" King Wei Hui asked in a deep voice, "Why did the State of Chu and the State of Qi send troops to the State of Zhao?" What kind of hatred do they have with Zhao State? Why did they suddenly attack Zhao? ”

I thought: There is no heavenly reason? Whether it is with the strength of the Qi State or the strength of the Chu State, if you really fight with the Zhao State, it will be very easy. Don't? The State of Qi and the State of Chu joined forces to destroy Zhao together?

There is no heavenly reason, huh? To be so? You have to ask us Sanjin first!

The Three Kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, and Korea were once one country, the only Jin state that could compete with the Chu state. Afterward! The ancestors of the three families divided the Jin Kingdom. So! Although there are some discords between the three families in normal times, at the critical moment, the three families can still cooperate and unanimously resist Japan.

"Return to the Lord! According to the news that the spies got! Probably related to buying a horse! The general replied.

This great general is none other than Pang Juan, a genius military strategist of the Wei State.

At this time, Pang Juan was full of spirit, and it was the time of life to be proud. Successive victories in several major battles made his name spread all over the world. The small princes and kings around Wei would shudder when they heard his name.

"Buying a horse?"

"That's right! Buy a horse! The general Pang Juan said: "It is said that Bai Gui personally went to the prairie and deceived nearly 20,000 horses from the Hu people. Originally! Bai Gui was entrusted by the State of Chu to go to Zhongshan Kingdom to buy a thousand grassland horses and come back for breeding.

It may be that Bai Gui brought back too many horses this time, and the Chu State was worried that there were too many of them, and the Zhao State did not let the horses pass through their Zhao State's territory. So! The state of Chu gathered a large army to the northern border. It should be to put pressure on Zhao Guo. If an agreement cannot be reached with Zhao Guo, then! See you with swords! ”

"Oh? It turned out to be the idea of buying a horse! King Wei Hui nodded and said, "So?" What about Qi State? Why did Qi also garrison the border? Looks like you're going to war? ”

"This? I think? General Pang Juan thought for a while and said, "This is new information, I think?" It's the same thing! Qi Guo also wants to buy horses! ”

"Qi Guo also wants to buy horses?" King Wei Hui's face changed slightly, and he continued to look at Pang Juan.

"Our horses in Da Zhou can't be compared to the steppe horses. Probably the reason! The horses of the grassland can run on the prairie every day, but our horses in Da Zhou do not have this opportunity to display their abilities, because there is no such environmental condition and no prairie.

So! Our horses in Da Zhou, after a few years, can't outrun grassland horses. Especially the state of Chu! The horses of the Chu State are even worse, and they degenerate faster! So! Almost every year, the state of Chu had to buy steppe horses through various channels as stallions and cross them with the native horses of their state of Chu to breed new breeds. That's the only way! The war horses of the Chu State can run like the war horses of other countries.

Before! The state of Chu purchased horses from Yiqu and other places through the state of Qin. And this time! But they bought it from Zhongshan and passed through Zhao. The lord knows that the state of Chu and the state of Zhao do not border, and there are several small vassal states in between.

So! In order for the horses to pass smoothly, the state of Chu must put military pressure on the state of Zhao and other small states to force the other party to agree! ……”

After listening to General Pang Juan's explanation, King Wei Hui couldn't stop nodding.

"Oh? So that's what happened? That? Qi country? Qi country? King Wei Hui suddenly remembered and asked, "So?" So? The army of Qi pressed Zhao to buy horses? So? What does it mean that Qi Guo deliberately revealed Bai Gui's news to us? ”

"Maybe? Qi Guo means! Let's kill Baekyu's family and offend Baekyu. And then! We won't be able to buy Bai Gui's horse ......."

"They want to be beautiful!" King Wei Hui took the case! Yelled: "Tell them! The 20,000 horses of Bai Gui are all ours! It's all from our Wei country! I! It's all packed! ”
