The 3,000 Zhang Chu army left Chen County and marched north, until the army gradually turned into a black line and disappeared on the boundless gallop road, Chen Sheng's Wang Yuan turned the head of the car and went to the city, Zhang Chu's army blocking the road began to retreat to the city, the antlers were put back on both sides of the city gate, and the people went to the city one after another.

In the crowd, Wei Ji looked at the army that was gradually moving away, his heart was full of envy, mixed feelings, Wei Ji's eyes were red, and tears almost fell.

I really don't know, when will it be the day for me to come out, take the army, sweep the Qin army, and recover the Wei State?

After feeling sad, Wei Ji finally shook his head helplessly, sighed, and turned around to walk towards the city.

At night, in the Wei Mansion, Wei Qi summoned Zhou Shi, Li Yan, Kong Kun and Wei Bao, everyone sat together, a few cups of tea were still steaming, and after a short silence, Wei Qi said: "Today, I saw the military ministers send troops to Zhao Di, and I was very emotional. ”

"Oh? How does Childe feel? Zhou Shi couldn't help but be interested, looked at Wei Ji, Wei Ji had already picked up the tea at this time, took a sip, and said with a wry smile: "Since the defeat of Wei, I have been thinking day and night about the revival of Wei, with a brigade of divisions, to level Qin, in order to avenge the revenge of the year, but now, I feel that my dream is so far away, and the recovery of Wei is so far away!" ”

Wei Qi's words also touched Zhou Shi's sadness, he couldn't help but bow his head, silently drinking tea, how could he never want to recover the Wei State, but the time is not yet ripe, now that Zhang Chu's regime is strong, the Qin State will launch a counterattack sooner or later, even if he helps Wei Ji establish the Wei State at this time, he supports the army and sticks to a corner, and he has a large army to press the border, can the Wei State survive? Even if neither country launched an attack on Wei, would Wei be able to survive in the cracks?

Zhou Shi thinks that he can't help but think about it, and if there is one thing that is not thoughtful, it will hurt everyone.

On the side, Li Yan put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Wei Ji, and couldn't help laughing: "Why is Gongzi so frustrated, in my opinion, you might as well directly ask Chen Sheng for troops and march into Wei, wouldn't it be painful?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Yan picked up the sword on the table, stroked it in his hand, and said: "Zhang Er, Chen Yu asked for his order to go north to pacify Zhao Di, and he can get Chen Sheng's permission, why don't we give it a try?" ”

"Yes, I think what General Li said has a point!" Wei Bao got up and laughed: "If my brother refuses, I am willing to go and give it a try and ask for my brother's order to send troops!" ”

Seeing the two of them say this, a glimmer of hope also ignited in his heart, he pondered for a while, and resolutely got up: "Since everyone has this idea, I will enter the palace overnight and ask for the army!" ”

"Wait! ......" Kong Kun raised his hand to stop Wei Qi, he has always been silent since he entered the secret room, at this time Wei Qi insisted on entering the palace to ask for his life, he thought that he could not be silent anymore, he had to say the pros and cons and change Wei Qi's mind.

After a short silence, Kong Kun coughed dryly and cleared his throat, at this time, he got up and walked a few laps in the secret room, when he paced, his brows were always tightened, everyone saw 'heaviness' on his face, and the atmosphere dropped sharply, and soon, Kong Kun spoke: "Zhang Er, Chen Yu proposed to go north, send troops to Zhao Di, and restrain the Qin army, although Chen Sheng agreed on the surface, but in essence, he didn't believe in these two people." ”

"How can Kong Lao see it?" Wei Qi got up and asked rhetorically, at this time, Kong Kun said with a smile: "If Chen Sheng believes in Zhang Er and Chen Yu, why should he send Wu Chen and Shao Shao as generals and let them serve as captains?" From this point of view, he wants to use the two of them, but he is unwilling to entrust him with important tasks, so it seems that Gongzi might as well assume that if he goes to ask for orders to send troops, how sure will he be that Chen Sheng will agree? ”

"This ......" Wei Qi was speechless, and at this time, Kong Kun said again: "Although Chen Sheng is magnanimous and uninhibited on the surface, in fact, he does not have the ambition to overthrow the Qin Dynasty and dominate the river, he just wants to be the king and hegemon, and defend himself in a corner, how can this kind of person succeed?" ”

The secret room was quiet again, and Wei Qi sat back in his place in disappointment, at this time, Li Yan sighed: "In the words of Kong Lao, do we still have to wait?" ”

"Not really." Kong Kun waved his hand and said: "If Zhou City asks for orders to send troops, and Wei Zhi stays in Chen County, I think Chen Sheng may consider transferring troops to the north to recover Wei, as long as we recapture Wei, Zhou City occupies a foothold, and everything can be discussed in the long run." ”

"Me? ......" Zhou Shi looked at Kong Kun in disbelief, he thought that Kong Kun would dissuade everyone and continue to wait, but Kong Kun proposed to let him ask for his life to send troops, he couldn't understand, at this time, how much weight could he say to move Chen Sheng?

Kong Kun seemed to see through what Zhou Shi was thinking, returned to his place and sat down, and said with a smile: "As long as Gongzi Wei stays in Chen County, Chen Sheng will definitely not suspect Zhou City, I think this move must be feasible, if you agree, we can enter the palace tomorrow to ask for our lives." ”

Zhou Shi fell into deep thought, and Wei Ji on the side still looked at everyone a little unwillingly, and sighed: "But I...... But I still want to go out and fight with you. ”

"There is an opportunity, Childe must learn to forbear!" Kong Kun reached out and patted Wei Qi on the shoulder and comforted.

After a long silence, Zhou Shi finally slammed the table case and said resolutely: "Since Kong Lao said so, I will go to Ming Chen Sheng tomorrow and ask for orders to send troops." ”

Everyone nodded, but Zhou Shi sighed again: "I hope he can agree." ”

。。。。。。

It was late at night, there were few people in the street, but there were still a large number of guards patrolling back and forth in the palace of Zhang Chu, in the study room of the side hall, Chen Sheng and Ge Ying sat opposite each other, at this time, Chen Sheng was full of anger, holding a teacup, bowing his head and not speaking, and Cai Ci on the opposite side also bowed his head and was silent, only quietly tasting tea.

Since the establishment of Zhang Chu, the country has gradually become stronger, winning a hundred battles, and has never encountered a strong enemy, and now, Chen Sheng is considering entering Xingyang and further attacking Qin, but this afternoon, the battle report suddenly transmitted back from the south made Chen Sheng hesitate to enter Xingyang.

After Ge Ying established the state of Chu in Jiujiang, Xiangjiang was the king of Chu, which was tantamount to fighting against himself, the current situation is so unstable, the state of Qin has not been destroyed and Zhang Chu has been divided internally, this is not what Chen Sheng wants to see, more important, Chen Sheng faintly feels that it seems that Xiangjiang is far more supported by the Chu people than himself.

If these forces are not eradicated as soon as possible, I am afraid that they will seriously threaten their throne, Chen Sheng thought of this, he couldn't help but throw the teacup out with hatred "pop" A crisp sound, the teacup shattered to the ground, but Cai Ci, who had always been silent, was awakened by the sound of the teacup breaking.

He had already put down the teacup at this time, stared at Chen Sheng for a moment, and then asked, "Is the king still angry about Ge Ying's matter?" ”

"Humph! If he dares to betray me, I will kill this thief!" Chen Sheng roared angrily, at this time, he saw Cai Ci, who had always stared at him, it seemed that he had something to say, Chen Sheng suppressed the anger in his heart, and then asked: "Does the military advisor have something to say?" ”

Cai Ci nodded and said with a smile: "Why should the king be angry about Ge Ying's betrayal? In my opinion, Ge Ying is like a lamb in a circle, as long as the king wants to kill, it is only at the snap of his fingers. ”

"What's the strategy of the military advisor? Come on! Chen Sheng's eyes lit up, leaned forward, Ge Ying smiled and said: "The king wrote a letter of resignation, condemning Ge Ying, and made it clear that he would transfer 120,000 troops to the south, flatten Jiujiang, and swear to kill these two thieves immediately, and I have my own plan for the rest!" ”

Seeing Cai Ci's tricks, Chen Sheng couldn't help but laugh heartily, as long as he had a way to get rid of Ge Ying, no matter what the process was, he only needed the result.

Moreover, once Ge Ying is removed, the big stone that pressed on Chen Sheng's heart will be thrown off, and in the next step, Chen Sheng will take Xingyang and completely prepare for the westward advance, thinking so, Chen Sheng looked at Cai Ci again, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and they both raised their heads and laughed.

。。。。。。

Early in the morning, Chen Sheng had just gotten up, more than a dozen maids were grooming Chen Sheng, changing clothes, the dormitory was busy, the sound of trivial footsteps and the sound of clay pots colliding was non-stop, and from time to time Chen Sheng roared and scolded because of dissatisfaction.

An attendant walked through the busy crowd and came to Chen Sheng's side, at this time a maid was combing Chen Sheng's hair, and the waiter gave Chen Sheng a salute and said softly: "Wang, Zhou Shi and others ask to see them, and they are waiting in the side hall." ”

After Chen Sheng heard this, he didn't pay attention to the waiter, and it wasn't until the maid tied up her hair that Chen Sheng squinted his eyes slightly and asked, "Who else is besides him?" ”

"There are Cai Ci, Kong Kun and Li Yan." The chamberlain replied.

After a short thought, Chen Sheng nodded slightly, and ordered: "Take them to the main hall and wait, tell them that the widow will be there soon." ”

The waiter nodded and left, Chen Sheng picked up the bronze mirror, looked at himself in the mirror, looked at it for a while, Chen Sheng nodded with satisfaction, then got up and walked outside the dormitory, at this time, a woman's voice came from behind the curtain: "King, don't forget to come to the concubine's bed at night." ”

。。。。。。

In the main hall, Zhou Shi and others sat separately, each of them had a square table in front of them, and there was a cup of tea on the square table, and the tea owl was steaming, but none of the people drank tea, they were all waiting for Chen Sheng.

I don't know how long it has been, but the shout of an attendant sounded outside the hall: "The king has arrived in ......"

Soon, Chen Sheng, accompanied by several attendants, walked into the main hall, and everyone hurriedly got up and saluted: "I've seen the king." ”

Chen Sheng waved his hand, signaling that he would be exempted, and everyone took their seats, at this time, Chen Sheng walked to his throne and sat down, and said with a smile: "You are in such a hurry to come, is there anything wrong?" ”

Cai Ci smiled and said: "We came today to ask the king to decide the date of sending troops as soon as possible, and I wanted to come with the general, but he went to patrol, so we had to come first." ”

Hearing Cai Ci say this, Chen Sheng nodded and smiled: "The matter of sending troops, let it go for the time being, I am very worried about the situation in Jiujiang." ”

"Don't worry, the king doesn't have to worry, I've already dealt with this matter in secret." Cai Ci laughed softly, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Chen Sheng, and looked at him oppositely, both of them smiled knowingly, at this time, Zhou Shi got up and said: "King, if you want to stabilize the situation in Xingyang, it is not enough to just consider recovering Zhao Land, I am willing to command a brigade of troops to stabilize Wei for the king and restrain the Qin army." ”

After Chen Sheng heard this, he sneered in his heart, Zhang Er, Chen Yu just asked for orders to send troops the day before yesterday, and Zhou Shi came today, did he think that he couldn't see the little Jiujiu in his heart? But Chen Sheng didn't show his displeasure on his face, he had already laughed twice at this time, and replied: "Don't be in a hurry about this matter!" ”

"Great King, once the Qin army advances eastward, if we want to seize the Wei land, I'm afraid it will be too late!" Zhou Shi was slightly anxious, got up and arched his hand: "Please think twice!" ”

On the side, Kong Kun said: "Great King, it may be a good thing to take the Wei land, which will distract the attention of the Qin army and be beneficial to our anti-Qin plan!" ”

At this time, Cai Ci also smiled heartily: "In that case, why didn't the king order Zhou Shi as a general and Li Yan as a deputy general?" ”

Chen Sheng glanced at Cai Ci, he seemed to have tasted the meaning of Cai Ci's words, that is, to leave Wei Zhi as a hostage, thinking of this, Chen Sheng looked at Zhou Shi and ordered: "Since you have the heart to recover Wei, the widow will give you 3,000 soldiers and horses, and Li Yan will be the deputy general, and he will start tomorrow and march to Wei." ”

"King Xie!" Zhou Shi thanked him.
