The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Zhao Yu muttered to himself: "Zhongshan State..."

"Your Majesty, Zhongshan State is five hundred miles wide. Although the land is not fertile, the people are tough and can be the source of elite soldiers. If the people of Zhongshan are allowed to wear strong armor, hold sharp swords, and carry bows and arrows, it will be no problem to fight against a hundred with one!" Fei Yi suggested.

The existence of Zhongshan State does pose a threat to the security of Zhao State. However, if Zhongshan State is conquered, Zhao State will have a stable strategic rear area, which can not only provide excellent soldiers, but also resist the invasion of Yan State.

Zhao Yu said worriedly: "But the army of Zhongshan is very fierce, I am afraid it will be difficult to win!"

Fei Yi smiled and made a plan: "We can attack Yangdi of Yan State. After taking Yangdi, Zhongshan State will be surrounded by Zhao State. We cut off the trade routes of Zhongshan State, prohibit any merchants from entering Zhongshan State, send soldiers to guard the main roads of Zhongshan State, and trap them inside! Use them to slowly wear them out!"

After hearing this, Zhao Yu thought it was a good plan and responded: "Although the plan is good, I am still worried that other countries will interfere with Zhao State! ”

Fei Yi pulled Zhao Yu to the map, pointed at Qi and Yan and said: "Your Majesty, please look, the king of Yan is a person who is content with the status quo and lacks ambition, while the king of Qi is ambitious and has always been eager to dominate the Central Plains, so they will not interfere with my Zhao. Attack Yan but not destroy it, then attack Yangcheng to threaten Yan, forcing them to cede ten cities in the north, so that it will be more convenient for my Zhao to expand northward. ”

Zhao Yu nodded immediately: "Okay, let the military advisor be responsible for this matter. Who will be the general in the attack on Yan?"

"Zhao Ke!" Fei Yi replied.

…………

Three years later, Wei Shen decided to return to Daliang. The people of Shangjun saw him off along the way, because Wei Shen governed strictly, encouraged farming and martial arts, developed education and trained talents, cared for the elderly, women and children, and supervised well in these three years.

Wei Guo Court

Wei Shen looked at his son who had been away for many days. He showed no emotion on the surface, but he was still very worried in his heart. After all, he would not allow his son to make any mistakes. He said: "Shen'er, you have performed well in Shangjun for three years. The memorials submitted by the Minister of the Interior all stated that the people lived a healthy life, the border defense was tight, and there was no large-scale enemy invasion. What reward do you want?"

Wei Shen did not feel complacent, but said tactfully: "In fact, this is not my credit. The peace of the border is thanks to the planning of General Shibei. It is the credit of all the officials in Shangjun to persuade the people to work hard in farming. The repair of this canal is thanks to the "Ten Strategies for Water Control" left by Ximen Bao. ! And it was General Gongsun Xi's credit that Yiqiu and Wei signed a treaty. If he hadn't fought bravely on the front line, Yiqiu and Wei would not have signed such an unequal treaty! Therefore, I think you should give them rewards if you want to. "

Wei Lang nodded with satisfaction and said, "My son is right. I will reward General Shibei with 500 gold and a piece of Shu brocade. Gongsun Xi... Who is Gongsun Xi?"

Wei Shen stood up and explained, "Gongsun Xi is the son of General Gongsun Cuo. He has already joined the army and has defeated many people.Yiqiu State's invasion, so he was promoted to a general! Because his official position did not reach the right to go to court, he could only stay in the barracks. "

"Oh, it's Gongsun Cuo's son! As expected, a tiger father will have a dog son! Order Gongsun Xi to be a general and reward him with 100 gold!" Wei Ling ordered.

Wei Shen said again: "Father, my son's spy found that the Zhao army seemed to be gathering northward, and might attack Yan or Zhongshan."

Wei Ling ordered someone to bring a map, looked at it for a while, and said: "Wu Tong, who do you think Zhao will attack?"

Wu Tong stepped forward, carefully observed the map, and explained: "Your Majesty, Zhao is attacking both Yan and Zhongshan this time, but Zhao's main target is still Zhongshan. Zhongshan is close to Zhao and Yan. Zhao can surround Zhongshan by attacking Yan's Yangdi. In the future, Zhongshan will be in Zhao's pocket! ”

Wei Ling asked: "Should we intervene?"

Wu Tong shook his head and said: "No, Wei's current strong enemies are Qi and Chu, not our allies."

Wei Shen stood up and said: "Father, Qi and Chu are strong and are determined to compete with Wei for hegemony in the Central Plains. Therefore, we should first defeat Chu and then fight Qi!"

Wei Ling nodded and said: "Okay, I order the general to lead 20,000 soldiers to garrison Xiangling, and merge with Wei Cuo and other troops into one army, under the command of the general. When Chu dares to go north, we will immediately attack Chu!"

Pang Juan bowed and said: "Yes!"

Pang Juan continued: "Your Majesty, but I think Qin is the biggest threat to Wei! While the new Qin army has not yet been trained, I request to destroy Qin in one battle! ”

“Could it be that the general still can’t forget Qin? Qin is a poor and weak country. What are you afraid of?” Wei Ling said in confusion.

Pang Juan said anxiously: “Your Majesty, Qin is a tiger and wolf. Once the new Qin army is trained, it will become a big trouble for our Wei!” Then he looked at Wu Tong, hoping that he could help him speak.

But Wu Tong and Wei Shen didn’t want to help, because they knew what kind of person the King of Wei was. The rules he set were very difficult to change. After all, no one wanted others to say that they made strategic mistakes. Now, except for Pang Juan and Long Jia, the whole court may see through the King of Wei. Everyone else understands. As for why Pang Juan kept persuading, it was mainly because he was promoted to this position by Wei Ling.

Wei Ling said unhappily: “Okay! The general only needs to be responsible for defeating them for me. I have the strategy! ”

Pang Juan saw that no one wanted to persuade him, Long Jia and Wei Cuo had already been transferred to the local defense, and looked at Wei Shen again. Wei Shen motioned Pang Juan to sit down, and Pang Juan had to sigh and sit down unwillingly.

Qin State Court

Qin Gong Ying Quliang said to all the ministers: "Everyone, I heard that Wei State seems to be mobilizing troops recently. I wonder what you think?"

Due to Wei Yang's reforms, almost all the nobles hated him, and even Lao Ganlong couldn't stand him. After all, Wei Yang was too ruthless! As long as he violated the law, he would be punished, and he almost didn't give people a little face. The whole Qin State resented Wei Yang, tooZi Yingsi cut off the nose of the prince's teacher Ying Qian when he made a mistake, which directly made Ying Qian, who originally supported the reform, stand in the team of the nobles. Now, there is no one who supports the reform except the king and Shi Jiao.

Gan Long stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think there is no need to intervene. It is better for my Qin State to continue to recuperate!"

Just sat down. Wei Yang objected: "Your Majesty, I think Wei's mobilization of troops is nothing more than an attack on Song or Chu. Now Wei is waiting for an opportunity. When the opportunity comes, Wei will attack Song or Chu. When Wei goes to war with other countries, we will immediately send a large army to recover the lost territory!"

After hearing this, Gan Long sneered: "Wei Yang! Now Wei is our ally, and we have signed a treaty."

"Yes, we must take advantage of Wei's relaxation of vigilance against Qin and send a large army to attack Wei's Guanzhong County! All is fair in war! No morality is better than interests!" Wei Yang said confidently.

Everyone understood Wei Yang's character after hearing this. Isn't he a man with talent but no morals? He directly stabbed his allies in the back. I have never seen such a shameless person!

But Ying Quliang agreed. After all, he didn't want to fight Wei one-on-one now. He could just sneak attack and have a head-on confrontation.
