The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Wei Lang looked at the map on the wall. The person standing behind him was Hui Shi. Wei Lang turned his head and asked, "Hui Zi, where do you think Pang Juan has fought?"

Hui Shi walked forward and looked at the map. He guessed, "He is probably facing the Chu army in Fangcheng."

After hearing this, Wei Lang was a little dissatisfied with Pang Juan's progress. He had been fighting for nearly a month, but he was still in Fangcheng. Wei Shen had ended the war against Song and returned to Daliang. He planned to issue a few royal orders to order him to attack quickly. He ordered, "Order Pang Juan to break Fangcheng of Chu within three days! ”

When Hui Shi heard this, he quickly advised: "Your Majesty, no! The frontline battles are commanded by the generals, why interfere with the march and battles!"

Wei Ling said unhappily: "Hui Zi, Pang Juan is leading my most elite troops, it is impossible for him to stay in Fangcheng now!"

Hui Zi smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, I was just guessing just now, I don't know where the general has fought."

"No! He must be told to fight quickly!" Wei Ling said while taking out bamboo slips to write orders.

Hui Zi quickly stopped and said: "Your Majesty, why not ask Sima to come and ask him what he thinks."

"Okay, ask him to come to the palace." Wei Ling threw down the pen.

After a while, Wu Tong hurried into the palace. When Wei Ling saw him, he asked, "Sima, where do you think Pang Juan has fought?"

Wu Tong thought for a while and replied, "I think he has fought to Wancheng."

"Oh, this means that Fangcheng of Chu has been conquered by Wei. How did you know?" Wei Ling said happily.

Wu Tong explained, "The army of Jingshe of Chu is in Han, and Fangcheng of Chu is empty. The general only needs to sneak attack Fangcheng through a small path. If Fangcheng is occupied, the retreat of Jingshe's army will be cut off, and Yingdu of Chu will also be under the attack of Wei's army! When Jingshe returns, we will be able to conquer it!"

"Well, not bad! By conquering Fangcheng, Wei has the style of Jin in the past!" Wei Ling said with satisfaction.

A eunuch came in and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, the envoy of Chu State wants to see you."

"Haha, Chu State also surrenders to me! From now on, the whole world will surrender to me!" Wei Ling said proudly.

Wei Ling adjusted his court dress and said, "Call all the ministers to the court to see the envoy of Chu!"

…………

Wei State Court

The Chu envoy Qu Yong waited anxiously. The ministers of Wei State had all gathered, but the King of Wei had not come yet, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Finally, the King of Wei wore a gorgeous red court dress and a crown on his head with a pearl as big as an egg. The King of Wei sat majestically on the throne, exuding the aura that a king should have.

Looking at Qu Yong's dazed and anxious look, he couldn't help but want to laugh, and said in a dignified manner: "Chu envoy, why don't you bow to me when you see me!"

Qu Yong finally reacted and bowed, saying: "Greetings, King Wei!"

Wei Long nodded slightly after hearing this. He liked envoys from other countries to bow to him, and asked: "Chu envoy, what do you want?"

Qu Yong said humbly: "I came to WeiThe two countries have stopped fighting for the sake of the people of the two countries. "

"Haha..., Chu envoy! It seems that you started this war. You Chu can fight or make peace whenever you want. What do you think of my Wei country? Didn't the King of Chu think about this when he started the war?" Wei Ling looked at Qu Yong with amusement.

Qu Yong hurriedly explained: "This war is indeed the fault of my Chu country, so my Chu country came with sincerity. My Chu country is willing to cede land for peace."

Wei Ling asked with a smile: "Then what piece of land does the King of Chu plan to cede?"

"Cede the entire Wan County to the King of Wei! Please agree to it." Qu Yong replied.

But Hui Shi, who was good at observing words and expressions, saw Qu Yong's panic. He estimated in his mind. At the moment when the King of Wei was about to agree, Hui Shi stood up and objected with a smile: "Chu envoy, Wan County is too small, and ten cities need to be ceded! If you don't cede, we will continue to fight! ”

Wei Lang was also shocked to hear Hui Shi’s appetite. Hui Shi was even more greedy for land than him. Wan County’s 15 cities were very large, but he still wanted to cede 10 cities to Chu. Chu would not fight him to the death. Just when he was about to say something, Qu Yong directly replied: “I am willing to do so!”

Everyone was shocked. How could Chu be so straightforward? This was not like it! Wei Lang looked at Hui Shi. Hui Shi gave Wei Lang a look. Wei Lang understood and said unsatisfiedly: “Chu’s envoy, Chu is known for its land of thousands of miles. You want to send me away with such a small piece of land. Do you think I am a beggar!”

“No, no, then what land does the King of Wei want? "Qu Yong said in a panic. After all, Pang Juan has already reached Yingdu. If they don't agree, their country will be destroyed.

Wei Ling thought for a while and said, "First, cede Wan County and the twelve cities in Xiangdi; second, compensate Wei with one million shi of grain; third, Chu surrenders to Wei; fourth, Chu's Fangcheng is occupied by Wei."

Qu Yong sighed and said, "Chu agrees."

"Good! Chu and Wei are reconciled!" Wei Ling picked up a pen, wrote the conditions on the silk, and stamped the silk with the national seal.

He smiled and said to the attendant beside him, "Then please read it."

The attendant handed the letter to Qu Yong. Qu Yong took it and didn't read what was written on it. He bowed and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

Just as he was about to leave, a messenger rushed in and said, "The king has a victory report! The general led the army that defeated Jingshe and surrounded the capital of Chu, Yingdu!"

When the people in the audience heard the news that Pang Juan surrounded Yingdu, they all looked at Wei Lang. Wei Lang immediately wanted to regret it. After all, they had already reached Yingdu. If they didn't destroy Chu at this time, when would they?

Qu Yong tightly grasped the letter of credence and said calmly: "King Wei, you have already agreed to my request for peace with Chu. You can't regret it. If you regret it, how will the whole world view you? At that time, your credibility will plummet!"

Wei Lang smiled and said: "Don't worry, envoy of Chu, how can I regret it?"

Then he said: "Order Pang Juan to hand over the land and food."

"The king is wise!"

…………

Outside Yingdu, Pang Juan surrounded Yingdu layer by layer. Now Pang Juan is waiting for the king's order.Order, as long as the King of Wei orders an attack on the city, even if Chu is not destroyed, it will be seriously damaged!

Shen Buhai came over and congratulated: "General, you are so good at using troops. Chu can no longer fight with us in the field. As long as we make a concerted effort, Chu can also disappear from the world."

Pang Juan said with satisfaction: "Of course! Chu! A country controlled by nobles, how can it defeat Wei? My great Wei iron army is invincible! No country can defeat Wei!"

Wei Cuo came over, holding a bamboo slip in his hand. A red ribbon was tied to the bamboo tube, and the three words "King of Wei" were written on the ribbon.

He said to Pang Juan: "Brother Pang, the king's order has arrived."

Pang Juan excitedly opened the bamboo tube and eagerly opened the king's order to read it. His face slowly changed from excitement to disappointment. He handed the king's order to Wei Cuo and said: "The king accepted Chu's request for peace and ordered our army to withdraw."

Shen Buhai was very happy and pretended to sigh: "It's so good. The general almost destroyed Chu."

Pang Juan didn't listen to Shen Buhai at all and ordered: "The whole army should go to Wancheng!"

On the city, Zhao Xixu felt relaxed after seeing the retreat of the Wei-Han coalition army. He felt relaxed and happy as if he had drunk a thousand-year-old wine.

King Xiong Liangfu of Chu learned that the Wei-Han coalition had retreated. He had not been able to eat for several days, but his appetite suddenly opened up and he said happily: "Come on, serve the food! I want to eat! Haha..."

He laughed and grabbed the meat with his hands and ate it, saying: "Wei Lang, that stupid pig! He actually let Chu go. You will pay the price in the future! It's delicious... Come on, serve the wine, and ask the beauty to come and drink with me."
