Wei Bao is the son of the old Wei Kingdom, the grandson of King Wei Anjiao, and the cousin of the last King of Wei.

After Qin destroyed the Wei State, he and his brother Wei Qi were exiled to other places by the First Emperor, and they were abolished as ordinary people, living by working for people in Chendi. From the nobility who had no worries about food and clothing, to the pawns of the peddlers who ran around every day to fill their stomachs and suffered a lot of white eyes, Wei Bao tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, so he cherished the hard-won glory and wealth more and more.

In the troubled times, most of those who can raise troops and become kings have a few brushes, either for the strong or for the hero. Only the reason why this Wei Bao was able to become the king of Wei was completely thanks to the blessing of his brother Wei Bao. Wei Qi is the Ning Lingjun of Wei, who has been able to write and martial arts since he was a child, likes to make friends with capable people, and often prides himself on his uncle and grandfather Xinling Jun.

It's a pity that Wei was born at the wrong time, at that time, under the continuous blows of the Qin State, the Wei State was already weakening and dying, and it had long lost the residual power of the overlord of the Warring States Period. As soon as Wei Qi became an adult, Daliang was poured into the city by Wang Ben to lead the water of the river into the city and destroyed the city wall, and the Wei State was destroyed, and he also lost the opportunity to show his ambitions.

After learning that Chen Sheng had rebelled in Daze Township, Wei Ji, who had a sensitive sense of political smell, quickly smelled the opportunity and immediately led his clansmen to Chen County to defect to Chen Sheng. At this time, Chen Sheng was eager to expand his power, and he welcomed this kind of influential nobleman in the Six Kingdoms very much, so Wei Ji followed Chen Sheng closely, saddled his horse and saddled his horse, and conspired to serve.

Chen Sheng sent his troops to capture the Wei land, and the Zhou city wanted to rebel and stand on his own, but he was afraid that his prestige was not enough to get the support of the Wei people and claim the throne in the Wei land. So his advisers gave him an idea, saying, "If there is chaos today, the loyal ministers will be revealed." Now that the whole world has betrayed the Qin State, morally speaking, it is necessary to support the descendants of the King of Wei. "Let him support Wei Ji, a descendant of the King of Wei, as the King of Wei, and he himself will be the Minister of Wei, take charge of domestic affairs, and be a real and unknown King of Wei.

Zhou Shi adopted the advice of the advisors and went to Chen County to welcome Wei as king. Although Chen Sheng was angry at the rebellion of his subordinates, he did not dare to force each other too much, so he had to swallow his anger and let Wei Ji return to Daliang, so Wei was rebuilt, and Wei Ji became king.

But just a few months later, Zhang Han successively broke the main forces of the rebel army of Zhou Wen and Wu Qi, forced Chen Sheng to death, and the situation of the rebel army fell rapidly. Zhang Han, who was invincible, broke the Qi-Wei coalition army outside Daliang City, killed Zhou Shi and Tian Dan, and surrounded Daliang City, intending to divert water to irrigate the city again. In order to protect the lives of the people of a city, Wei Ji personally tied his hands and went out of the city to ask for surrender. According to Qin's harsh laws, traitors could not be forgiven, so Wei Ji lit a fire and set himself on fire at the head of the city after negotiating the conditions, thus fulfilling his promise to Zhang Han.

The Wei people cared about Wei Yao's high righteousness, and felt a lot of pity for his tragic death, so after Zhang Han's defeat, he supported his younger brother Wei Bao as king. Wei Bao ran to Chu and borrowed thousands of soldiers from King Huai, when Xiang Yu had already broken the Chu army in the battle of Julu and surrendered Zhang Han, Wei Bao easily conquered dozens of cities in Wei, and then followed Xiang Yu into the customs and was named the king of Wei.

Although Wei Bao was crowned King of Wei, most of his territory was deprived. Xiang Yu planned to occupy Wei's anointed land in the Central Plains, so he moved Wei Bao to Hedong Shangdang to claim the king, for which Wei Bao had a grudge against Xiang Yu. After Liu Bang, Tian Rong, and Zhao Xie took the lead in opposing Chu, Wei Bao saw that the anti-Chu coalition was strong, so he abandoned Chu and surrendered to him. But unexpectedly, the subsequent battle of Pengcheng against the Chu coalition army suffered a crushing defeat, and the Wei army was naturally not spared, not only was Henan lost cleanly, but the main force was also exhausted, and the Wei State was greatly injured and collapsed from then on.

Wei Bao was very timid, and his courage was completely destroyed by the bravery of the Chu army under Pengcheng, so he decisively abandoned Wei's territory in Henan and left Liu Bang in the Central Plains to resist Xiang Yu alone. Later, after Liu Bang entered the Qi land, he felt remorse, sent envoys to make good friends with Liu Bang in every way, and formed an alliance with Liu Bang and Zhao Xie again, agreeing to help each other. Wei Bao's wishful thinking played very well, he wanted Liu Bang and Zhao Xie to help him block the invincible Xiang Yu in front, and he himself hid behind and waved his flag and shouted, becoming the king of Taiping Wei. But who would have expected that the Chu army did not call, but the Qin army suddenly killed himself, one of his two allies died and the country was destroyed, and the other fled back to Qi in embarrassment.

Surrender Xiang Yu?

Wei Bao shook his head decisively, he still knew a little about Xiang Yu's temperament, and he was simply jealous and hateful, and he was arrogant. The fact that he betrayed the Chu State alone was enough to kill and injure him ten times and eight times, and it was too dangerous to take refuge in Xiang Yu!

But except for Xiang Yu, there seems to be no one in the real world who can fight against the Qin State that has made a comeback. Liu Bang saw that it was no longer possible, and he might not be able to hold on to self-preservation, and the few remaining princes in the south, Wei Bao, could not look down on it, let alone surrender.

Dead to the end? Are you kidding. Although Wei still has an army of 100,000, Wei Bao naturally knows what the combat effectiveness of these armies is, not to mention the elite Qin army, even the Zhao army and the Qi army can't catch up. If this kind of army is taken out and fight to the death with the Qin army, it will undoubtedly be self-defeating.

Thinking about it, returning to the Qin State and taking refuge in Han Xin seems to be a good choice. At least Han Xin's reputation is not bad, and he has never heard of any precedent for breach of contract and dishonesty, which is much stronger than Xiang Yu and Liu Bang.

As for the hatred of the country and the family, Wei Bao didn't think about it so much. This is the case between countries, when the Qin State destroyed the Wei State, at least it did not purge and slaughter the Wei royal family, but only relocated foreign enemies and reduced them to common people. This shows that Qin at least acted according to the rules of the game between countries. As for the death of his brother Wei Yao, although he was forced to die by Zhang Han, it was indeed a helpless move, and Wei Bao did not hate Qin because of this.

The reason why he hesitated was that on the one hand, he wanted to wait and see if he wanted to wait and see, and he didn't want to bet too early, and see how Xiang Yu reacted after the Qin State occupied Hebei; On the other hand, he also actively got in touch with the Qin State, constantly talking about the conditions, and wanted to win more generous preferential treatment.

It's a pity that his careful thinking obviously can't hide from Han Xin, Han Xin immediately made a decision and transferred the army to the west, putting on a posture of being fierce and overwhelming.

Qin Jun's aggressive posture suddenly made Wei Bao panic, he knew that he was definitely not Qin Jun's opponent, so he had no choice but to go to negotiate peace with Han Xin at the appointment.

At the Bianqiao at the junction of Hedong County and Handan County, Han Xin and Wei Bao went to meet on the bridge.

Although they had been fighting under Xianyang City for several months, Wei Bao had met Han Xin for the first time. Originally, he had heard that Han Xin was young, and he had been prepared in his heart, but when he saw it today, he still couldn't help but be stunned.

This Han Xin is inevitably too young.

Xiang Yu is young and talented to crown the princes, less than thirty years old has already divided the world, although it is not called the emperor's power. But this Han Xin is not weak compared to him, and in terms of age alone, it seems that he is a few years younger.

With an indifferent smile, a handsome face, and a slightly lazy gaze, if it weren't for the sharpness that flashed in his eyes, Wei Bao would almost think that he had recognized the wrong person.

Wei Bao asked with some undoubtedness; "You're Han Shin?"

Han Xin touched his nose and said with a smile; "I don't think I need to impersonate someone else."

Wei Leopard muttered a few words in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise softly; "It's really young, it seems that the world belongs to you young people, we old men should have been buried in the ground a long time ago."

The corners of Han Xin's mouth raised a smile, "So King Wei is planning to submit to my Qin State?" ”

Wei Bao is a real person, and said angrily; "I can't beat you, what else can I do?"

"But I have a small condition, I hope you can agree."

Han Xin glanced at Wei Bao and said calmly; "Say, as long as it's not too excessive, I'll try my best to meet you."

Wei Bao turned his head a little weakly, didn't dare to look at him, and whispered; "If you can save the Zongmiao Sheji for the Wei State, you can also do it in one county. As long as Wei is still there, I will not be the king of the lost country. ”

Han Xin shook his head decisively, breaking Wei Bao's wishful thinking, "Impossible, the foundation of the Qin State is the county system, even if the Wei State only has one city, it is a violation of the county system." Therefore, I persuade you to die, this condition is absolutely impossible. ”

Wei Bao protested in a low voice; "But I heard that you promised Zhao Yi to let him rebuild the Zhao Kingdom in Mobei, is it possible that I came to surrender with an army of 100,000 and two counties, and I can't compare to his 800 soldiers."

Han Xin smiled, "How can this be compared, Zhao Yi is a rare general, I am afraid that in the future, I will have very few opportunities to personally fight on the battlefield." I want to use him to replace me in charge of the troops in the northern land and open up territory for the Qin State. The grassland is far from what you can imagine, and even if you add up all the seven kingdoms, it can't compare to half of it. ”

"With such a large territory, even if the Qin State can occupy it, it lacks effective means of communication. From the Beihai Polar Region to Xianyang in Guanzhong, it takes more than two months to make a one-way trip. So I want to use Zhao Yi as a goshawk and let it find food for me. ”

Han Xin didn't say it directly, but Wei Bao heard the implication, that he was not qualified to be used by him. Although he was annoyed in his heart, he couldn't say anything on his face, but he just held back his anger, laughed a few times, and then stopped making a sound.

He just had the mentality of giving it a try, and he didn't have much hope. Since Han Xin insisted, he naturally didn't want to say anything more.

Han Xin looked at Wei Bao, whose face was blue and white, and his eyes swept over him, looking at the more than 100 soldiers behind him.

These soldiers were tall and mighty, neatly draped, and dressed like heavy infantry. The face was full of arrogance, and when they saw that the lord was humiliated, they all glared at Han Xin angrily.

Han Xin is not afraid of these eyes, but it is a little strange. Wei soldiers have always been known for their weakness, and after the middle and late Warring States period, Wei was also the least powerful country among the Seven Heroes except for South Korea, and I didn't expect to have such elite soldiers.

Han Xin thought about it for a while, and then suddenly realized, and couldn't help but say dumbly to Wei Bao; "These soldiers are the long-famous 'warriors' of your Wei State?"

Wei Bao nodded, his face was slightly ashamed, and explained softly; "The leopard is incompetent, and the elite soldiers left by the ancestors back then can only maintain the scale of hundreds of people to support the façade, which is really insulting to the Wei family."

"Wei Wushu" was an elite infantry trained by Wu Qi in the early Warring States period. Wu Qi trained Wei Wushu that year, "Wei's Wushu took it by degree, the armor of the three genera, the crossbow of twelve stones, and fifty negative arrows, put it on it, the crown with a sword, and won three days' food, and the middle of the day and approached a hundred miles." The pilot test will restore the household and benefit the farmland. "Only soldiers who hold a long ge, carry fifty long arrows and an iron-tired hard bow, and carry three days of military rations at the same time, with a total weight of about 50 catties, can become a soldier and enjoy preferential treatment only if they can march 100 miles in a row and can immediately enter the fierce battle.

Wu Qi led Wei Wushu to fight in the southern and northern wars, and achieved the miraculous feat of "seventy-two battles, sixty-four victories, and the rest were solved". In the past 30 years, Wu Qi led Wei Wushu to capture Hangu Pass, and after 64 battles, he seized more than 500 li of land on the west bank of the Yellow River of Qin, and compressed Qin to a narrow strip west of Huashan. In the battle of Yin and Jin in the thirteenth year of King Zhou An, Wu Qi defeated the Qin army ten times larger than the Qin army with 50,000 Wei troops, created 50,000 people, 100 chariots, and 3,000 horses, and broke the famous battle of 500,000 people in the history of Qin's war with fewer victories, and Wei Wushu also became recognized as the most elite and fierce hoplite in the Warring States Period.

Although the Wei State declined, the method of training soldiers left by Wu Qi was still there, and the Wei kings of all dynasties trained the elite soldiers to serve as military pawns in accordance with this method, which continued until the fall of the Wei State.

Seeing Wei Bao's depressed appearance, Han Xin looked at him and said slowly; "King Wei, please rest assured, I will definitely let it reappear on the battlefield with the famous warrior of the Wei State back then, or even far outstanding!"
