Compared with Zhao, Wei's life was obviously much better, there were no snowstorms, no floods, and all the land was developed and good.

The king of Wei defeated the Qin state again last year, recovering the Anyi that had been lost from his father, and swept away the previous weakness. There are three years of not flying, one soaring into the sky, three years of not singing, a blockbuster trend.

Later, although he was defeated by Zhao State, he did not lose his land, and allied with Zhao State to obtain Quyuan plough and waterwheel. Tariffs were abolished with Zhao and trade was opened.

As a result, Wei's agriculture and commerce flourished, and its national strength increased rapidly. Some people even compared the King of Wei to the living Marquis of Wen, who will lead the State of Wei to create a hegemony no less than that of the Marquis of Wen in the future.

Liang Yu.

Under the charming sea of flowers, the falling flowers are colorful, the colorful butterflies are flying, the king of Wei and Long Yangjun are sitting by the pond, holding a fishing rod in their hands, and the air is filled with the fragrance of peach blossoms.

Liang is located in the northwest of Daliang, which is the largest and most luxurious garden in the entire Wei Kingdom. There is a high platform built in the garden, which is called Wentai. There was a palace built and it was called the Vertical Capital. The chasm shuttles through it, and the cranes fly on it. The withered beams and painted buildings, the splendid Zhu Building, the warm sound of the song platform, the spring light is melting, and the prosperity is exhausted.

The elk paid tribute by the Qi State, the rhinoceros sent by the Chu State, the strange flowers offered by the Qin State, and the horses offered by the Zhao State inhabit here.

King Wei Zhao also met with the Western Zhou Jun here.

However...... All of this is the former Liang Confinement.

More than 20 years ago, the Qin State besieged Liang seven times and attacked Liang five times. For a time, 'the platform fell, the capital was burned, the trees were felled, the elk was exhausted, and the country was surrounded. ’

Liang Yuan, which was once in its prime, was reduced to ruins.

After that, the Wei State was defeated repeatedly, the city sank, the soldiers were killed, the people fled, and the national strength continued to weaken.

"When the widow was young, he liked to play here, there, there, and there, there were 'treasures' of the widow, and later, the Qin State came in, cut down the trees, made ladders, and attacked the girders. When he retreated, he burned down the entire garden. The widow's 'baby' is gone......"

King Wei pointed to the pool in front of him, the rockery not far away, and the palace next to him.

Long Yangjun listened quietly, he understood that what King Wei needed most at this time was a listener.

"If one day, the widow can hit Xianyang, he must move everything in the forest garden of the Qin State to Liang Yuan." Finally, King Wei clenched the fishing rod and said loudly.

"The minister believes in the king." Long Yangjun said, "The people of Wei also believe in the king. ”

At this time, the float moved, and the king of Wei lifted it vigorously, and a golden-red carp rose into the air, and the guards on both sides swarmed up, took the carp down, and put it in the bucket.

"Congratulations to the king, congratulations to the king." The guards said one after another.

"This is a good omen, my lord." Long Yangjun said happily.

"Hahaha, could it be that God wants to help Wei State!" King Wei was overjoyed.

"King, three days ago, Zhao raised troops to attack the Xiongnu." Fan Zuo hurriedly walked in with a piece of information in his hand.

As one of the few remaining capable ministers of the Wei State, and the only minister with strategic vision, Fan Zuo paid attention to the movements of the Zhao State and the Qin State all the time.

At the same time, he and Zhang Min and others are responsible for selecting talents and talents.

It is said that Wei was not short of talents.

In terms of talents, Wei ranks second among the seven countries, and no one dares to rank first.

It's a pity that eight out of ten of these talents have run, and the remaining two have not been reused, and even in the face of the threats and temptations of the enemy country, Wei has not even made a move to protect his own people.

The king regards the minister as a mustard, how can the minister work for the king?

Countless talents left Wei and went to other countries.

When Fan Zuo was sold by King Wei, he was also disheartened. If it weren't for Wei Wuji's request for him to come out to help King Wei, and if King Wei did show signs of repentance, he wouldn't have waded into this troubled water again.

"Did Zhao really send troops?" King Wei put the fishing rod in Long Yangjun's hand, stood up, and asked while taking the battle report, "How many troops did Zhao send out?" ”

"Claimed to be 500,000, the minister estimates that it will not exceed 300,000, and it will not be less than 200,000." Fan Zuo said, "King Zhao obviously has the idea of finishing his work in one battle, and wants to destroy the Xiongnu in a battle, or even completely destroy it, so that there is no threat to the rear and can strive to dominate the Central Plains." However, the terrain on the grassland is vast, and the Xiongnu are extremely mobile, even if the Zhao soldiers are elite, no matter how many good generals, less than 200,000 will not be able to keep the Xiongnu. ”

However, according to the report from the spies on the border, there is no sign of large-scale conscription of soldiers in Zhao, only the army in the military camp next to Handan is marching. Therefore, it is speculated that it will not exceed 300,000. ”

What Fan Zuo said was reasonable, and King Wei couldn't help but nodded.

At this time, Prince Zeng and Zhang Min walked in, Prince Zeng bowed, clasped his fists and said, "Father, I heard that Zhao Guo has sent troops to recover Hetao. ”

"Not bad." King Wei nodded.

"Father, I heard that King Zhao once said, 'Not an inch of the ancestral land can be lost.'" Erchen thought that our Wei State should take the opportunity to attack Qin State and recover Hexi. The prince clenched his fists and said with an excited expression.

"King, now that the east of the Wei River has been decided, the soldiers and horses are sufficient, and it is appropriate to reward the three armies and recover the west of the river." Zhang Min also said.

King Wei looked at the Liang Yu in front of him, only some more common flowers and trees remained, and some elk bought from the Chu State, and there were no rare treasures.

Both Wentai and Vertical have been rebuilt, and they are as tall as they were back then, but they have lost the majestic momentum of those years. Through the falling petals, you can vaguely see the tragic situation left by the burning of the Qin State back then.

"What does Taifu think?" King Wei looked at Fan Zuo.

Fan Zuo didn't speak, now was not the best time to attack the Qin State. Last year, the Three Kingdoms invaded Qin, and most of Zhao's grain and grass were borne by Wei, and then Wei ceded Yecheng to Zhao.

Unlike Hedong and Hanoi, which have been emptied, Yecheng has stored a large amount of grain and grass, and it has been cheapened by Zhao for nothing.

In that war, Wei earned a lot of territory, but it also wiped out so many years of savings.

One year is not enough time to recover.

But then again, if Wei waited until its strength was fully restored before thinking about recovering Hexi, it would be even more impossible, because Qin's strength had also recovered.

In the face of the restored strength of the Qin State, the only way out for the Wei State was to attach itself to the Zhao State.

"Wait." After a few breaths, Fan Zuo spoke.

"Wait?" King Wei was a little puzzled.

"There will be a war between Zhao and Qin, and when both countries are defeated, it will be the time for our Wei to recover Hexi." Fan Zuo said, and at the same time there was a sentence in his heart, 'By the way, there is Yecheng.' ’

"Until then, the best thing to do is to wait. Wait for this day to come, and at the same time increase the strength of our Wei State as much as possible to cope with future changes. ”
