After Wei Chi saw the man leaving, he was a little surprised and asked, "Old Wei, did you still work as an official in the imperial court during your lifetime?" ”

Wei Zhenyuan nodded, and said indifferently: "The last position of a micro-official is not enough to worry about." ”

Wei Chi tugged at the corners of his mouth, he was still familiar with the position of Taifu, and he was no different from Xiangguo. Now from Wei Zhenyuan's mouth, it seems to be a low-end petty official position.

Wei Chi paused and asked, "But it seems that there is a contradiction between you and the Emperor of Heaven?" ”

Wei Zhenyuan neither denied nor admitted it, but turned around, with a wave of his robe, the heavens and the earth changed, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them appeared on a sea of clouds, and looking down, you can see that the cities are crisscrossed and arranged, and among these cities there is a capital, and at a glance, you can see that this capital is the capital of these cities.

At this time, the two of them had already come to the sky above the territory of the Xia Kingdom.

And there are also monks in the capital who sensed a mighty and solemn pressure coming from above the sea of clouds, and the aura in the air scattered and fled, and everyone in the capital held their breath and looked up at the sky, wanting to take a peek and see which great god suddenly descended here.

And from the palace in the center of the capital, a white rainbow light dot swept out, went straight to the sea of clouds, and in a blink of an eye, he came to the sea of clouds, and Wei Zhenyuan and the two looked across the clouds, and because Wei Zhenyuan deliberately concealed the breath of him and Wei Chi, leaving only two majestic and terrifying breaths.

And the person who came was not afraid at all, and said respectfully, "Dare to ask who your Excellency is?" Why did you suddenly come to the territory of my Xia Kingdom. ”

Wei Chi looked at the man not far away and was amazed, "This kid looks good, his face is like a flat lake and there is thunder in his chest, if he is placed in my era, as long as he does not die on the battlefield, he will definitely be able to seal a thousand households when he comes out alive." ”

Wei Zhenyuan said calmly: "This person's name is Ling Yin, he is the general of the Shangzhu State of the Xia Kingdom, and he has great military achievements, and he was named the Marquis of Wanhu when he was in his early twenties, and he is one of the youngest Marquis of Wanhu in the court and field of the Xia Kingdom. ”

Wei Chi smiled after hearing Wei Zhenyuan's words, "Hehe, my eyes on people are really right." ”

Wei Zhenyuan ignored Wei Chi and said to Ling Yin: "The old man just passed by here by chance, and he won't stay for too long." ”

Wei Zhenyuan's voice came from all directions of the sea of clouds, and the voice was empty, which made Yin look a little solemn when he saw this, but he still didn't panic, he said loudly: "I hope your Excellency can abide by the agreement of the Confucian Temple, if your Excellency forcibly violates the rules, then you are not welcome!" ”

"Got it."

After that, Ling Yin only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and the person had already returned to the gate of his mansion.

————

And on the other side.

After Wei Zhenyuan drove away Ling Yin, he suddenly turned his head to look at Wei Chi and asked, "Do you know how extensive the territory of the Xia Kingdom is today?" ”

Wei Chi was obviously stunned, I don't know why Lao Wei suddenly said this, he looked down and observed for a while, and did not use his magic power to view the mountains and rivers, and then said: "The west and south border of the Linjing River meander, the east to Puqu and Chu adjacent, the north of the Shu Yupan Mountains, the mountains are treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, there is Hangu in the east, there is Dasan in the west, Wuguan in the south, Xiao Pass in the north, and at the same time entrenched in the middle of the pass, there is a solid mountain resistance, there is the danger of the river, the place of striving for the survival of the city, standing in the middle, attacking and retreating, there are barriers on all sides, and the danger is guarded. It can be said that it has a unique geographical advantage, and it is a place where soldiers must fight for it in ancient times, and now Shu is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and it is only a matter of time before the Xia State replaces it. ”

At this moment, Wei Chi gave full play to his military combat ability as the commander of an army in his previous life, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the Xia country's location environment in a moment, and at the same time pointed out why the Xia country could occupy this territory for a hundred years.

"Then do you know how long it has taken since the beginning of the Xia Kingdom?"

Wei Chi shook his head, although he was a disciple of the generals during his lifetime, but he didn't study much about how these vassal states rose, and he only needed to study how to lead troops to win battles.

Wei Zhen was far from paused, and continued to speak: "Since the founding of King Xia Xuan, the five dynasties have changed, and all kinds of waste have been prosperous, from the five counties and twenty-four counties of the original fief of the ancient Shu Dynasty to the current fiefdom of thousands of miles, it has taken five generations to make Xia have the current scene. ”

Wei Chi nodded and let out a sigh of admiration, "I didn't expect that the Xia Kingdom was only a few counties in the country at the beginning, and now the Xia Kingdom is among the seven princes, which can be described as an eye-opener." ”

Wei Zhenyuan raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and said with no sadness or joy on his face: "One will be a success, and ten thousand bones will wither." ”

"Who's to say it isn't." Wei Chi nodded in agreement, and then changed his words, "But it seems that there is a conflict between you and Xia Guona, the son of heaven?" ”

Wei Zhen was far from silent.

Seeing this, Wei Chi patted Wei Zhenyuan's shoulder, and said seriously: "Old Wei, it's not that I said you, you are a good person, you just don't have the eyesight to see." ”

Wei Zhenyuan frowned slightly, "What are you talking about?" ”

Wei Chi said in an old-fashioned manner: "Do you understand the truth that officialdom is like a battlefield? Eh, with your pedantic brain, you probably won't understand. ”

Wei Chi shook his head on the side, quite interesting, it was rare to see Wei Chi's deflated expression, but he couldn't make fun of him, thinking of Wei Zhenyuan's expression just now, he couldn't help laughing.

Wei Zhenyuan squinted at Wei Chi.

The tanuki on the side silently turned his head.

Wei Chi laughed three times, and suddenly realized that Wei Zhenyuan was still standing beside him, and immediately stopped

Wei Zhen saw that Wei Chi was getting farther and farther away, and said lightly: "I just can't get used to his approach." ”

"What?" Wei Chi was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly, "What practice?" Did he complain or did he lose his conscience? ”

Wei Zhenyuan seemed to fall into deep thought, and only after a long time did he slowly speak, "Back then, I was originally in the name of Buyi, and it was Du Dao, the king of Xia Wu, who invited me to go out of the mountain, and then I have been following him to expand the territory, so it can be said that I watched the territory of the Xia Kingdom, which was only a few counties in size, gradually turn into a territory of ten thousand miles......

Wei Zhenyuan paused when he said this, and then sighed, "But the years of conquest have also made the domestic people's livelihood wither, the sea is wasted, the treasury at that time no longer supports the country to fight like this, and the country is also a lot of opposition, when the father of the son of heaven, that is, Xia Jingwang Du, ordered to stop the war, the national decree has also changed from the previous Legalist thought to the Huang Laozhi school represented by the Taoist ancestor, advocating self-cultivation, focusing on the economy and agriculture, after decades of governance by King Jing, the whole country has taken on a new look, The treasury is full, and the people are rich. When other countries were in turmoil, Xia was like a paradise, and because of its special geographical environment, there was naturally a mountain range as a protective barrier, forming a force that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
