Beam.

At this time, more than half a month has passed since the last defeat, and a layer of haze is still shrouded in the entire Daliang City.

The Wei state recovered Hedong two years ago, and the territory was expanded by half, and every Wei person thought that this was the beginning of the revival of the Wei state. However, when the Wei State really faced the Qin State, it seemed to appear in its original form and became vulnerable.

The 200,000-strong army was broken several times by the Qin state, losing more than a dozen cities in a month, and finally had to retreat to the old capital Anyi, and the Wei state also had to ask for help from the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han, and Chu.

"King Yu, news has come from Zhao State, King Zhao has gone south to support our country, and my country can wait for Zhao State to reinforce as long as it lasts for half a month." Fan Zuo held the news and walked in quickly.

King Wei breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: "It's still Zhao Guo reliable." ”

During this time, he sent people to Korea and Chu for help many times, but Korea refused on the grounds that Qin was attacking Sanchuan. As for the state of Chu, it is even more unbearable, in terms of territory, it is no less than the state of Qin, and in terms of population, it ranks among the top three in the seven countries, second only to the state of Qin, far better than the state of Wei and South Korea, but it seems that the bones of the crest are broken by the state of Qin, and there is no courage to confront the state of Qin.

The two countries were closer to Wei, and the monarchs were also in the country, unlike Zhao, where news had to reach Handan first, and then from Handan to Zhao Kuo. Now that the reinforcements of the Zhao State have all gone south, the reinforcements of the two countries cannot even see a shadow.

Fan Zuo sighed, South Korea did not dare to confront Qin State head-on. And Chu is unwilling, Chu has a large territory and a large population, unlike South Korea, which is in danger of dying at any time, he would rather hide far away from Qin and develop his remaining territory.

Even the State of Zhao has always avoided another major war with the State of Qin. Of course, Qin was also avoiding conflict with Zhao. A war between the two sides at this time is not beneficial to either country.

But Wei and South Korea are different, these two countries are surrounded by the four countries of Qin, Zhao, Chuqi, and Qi, and they can only choose one direction if they want to expand, which is why Wei Guoming knows that he is being used as a gun by Zhao State, and he can only cooperate, he has no other way.

Of course, you can also eat and wait for death like before, but the current King of Wei is obviously unwilling to do so.

Ambition grows with the growth of strength, in the past he only hoped that Wei would not perish in his own hands, but now he wants to lead Wei to become strong and restore the status of the overlord of the world.

"By the way, the king, Xinlingjun also sent someone to send a copy of "The Art of War of Wei Gongzi"." Fan Zuo arched his hand and said.

Last year, Zhao Kuo ordered all the generals of Zhao State to compile a military book, and everyone's interest was very high, after all, this kind of good thing that has been famous for thousands of years is rare, many people are not greedy for money, not lustful, and what they pursue is a name, where can they refuse this temptation.

After that, Zhao raised troops to attack the Xiongnu, and the matter was temporarily shelved. However, Wei Wuji, who stayed in Handan, did not stop compiling, and with the help of 3,000 diners, after a year, Wei Wuji finally compiled the first edition of "Wei Gongzi's Art of War" and immediately sent it to his mother country.

Wei Wuji, like Han Fei, although he is deeply used in the Zhao Kingdom, the relationship between him and the mother country is inseparable, and they are different from Li Si, Cai Ze and others.

Li Si and Cai Ze are just ordinary Chu people and Yan people, not the sons of the two countries, to put it mildly, the two countries are destroyed, and they will not feel anything.

But Wei Wuji and Han Fei are different, the two countries really gave birth to them and raised them, without Wei and South Korea, there would be no current them.

Although the two left Wei and South Korea for various reasons, Wei and South Korea will always be their home countries, and they also hope from the bottom of their hearts that the two countries can become stronger.

Therefore, after Wei Wuji compiled the "Art of War of Wei Gongzi", he immediately sent a copy to Wei State. Of course, he only sent the military book compiled by himself, and as for other people's, and other things will definitely not be sent to Wei State.

There is still a need to distinguish between public and private.

"Does Brother Zhong have any other explanations?" King Wei asked.

"This is Xinling-kun's letter." Fan Zuo handed a letter that had not yet been opened to the King of Wei.

"The paper made by Zhao Guo is easy to use, but unfortunately it is too expensive, and it is also limited to purchase." King Wei said with some emotion.

Recently, almost all the money earned by the nobles of Wei has been used to buy paper, even in the palace, after all, after seeing the soft paper, no one wants to use the heavy bamboo slips again.

"It is said that there is no limit to the amount of paper in Handan College, and many talents in the world are affected by this and have gone to Zhao State." This is a naked conspiracy, Fan said, and even if the countries knew about it, there was nothing they could do unless they could also make paper or something better than paper.

Even if a few virtuous people can resist this temptation, they can't change the phenomenon that the general trend of the world converges on Zhao State, and now Handan has become a veritable economic, political, and cultural center of the world.

"In the past, Zixia entered my Wei State to give lectures and founded the Xihe School, what a grand occasion my Wei State was at that time!" King Wei said with emotion that at that time, the Wei State was full of talents, strong militarily, and seemed to be the hegemon of the world, and the Wei State was also the economic and cultural center of the world at that time. However, today's Wei State can only miss the past time.

King Wei slowly opened Wei Wuji's letter, in which Wei Wuji did not talk about national affairs, but only cared about the health of King Wei and his nephew, saying that he had obtained a home remedy in Zhao State, which had a miraculous effect on the treatment of children's stubborn diseases, etc. Then he told the king of Wei what he had seen and heard in Zhao during this time, and did not mention the policies of Zhao, but mentioned the changes in Zhao.

】

These are not secrets, as long as you inquire carefully, you can find out, if the King of Wei has the heart to change, he can naturally learn to reform, if he has no intention of changing, it is useless to say more.

Wei Wuji hoped that Wei would become better, but he was not the monarch of Wei after all, so he could not help King Wei make his decisions, and he didn't even dare to say it explicitly, for fear of backfiring.

"Brother Zhong has good intentions." King Wei sighed, the two had grown up together since childhood, how could he not know what Wei Wuji meant. After a while, the king of Wei stood up from the throne, waved his sleeves, and said loudly, "The order is to go down, and the widow will go to Hedong to conquer in person." ”

"No, my lord. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, not to mention that you are the monarch of my Wei State, in case there are three long and two short ......" Fan Zuo hurriedly dissuaded.

"Zhao State is just a reinforcement, King Zhao can go to the front line in person, how can I, Wei State, hide behind him Zhao State?" King Wei said in a deep voice.

Every country has a tradition of royal conquest, and Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou were also killed on the battlefield, but with the stability of the country, there was no need to risk his life later, but at this time, the martial arts in King Wei's heart was completely stimulated, and he was no longer satisfied with hiding behind.
