Naturally, the military order could not be delayed, so it was sent to the camps of the military commanders of various countries that night.
The army of Wei was naturally the happiest. After all, both the land east of the river and the land outside the river were lands that Wei had wrested from Qin. Qin and Wei then fought for hundreds of years over this land. It changed hands frequently, and it was also in the battle to compete for these two pieces of land that the Wei State was defeated and gradually became a second-rate power from the hegemonic power. After losing these two pieces of land, the Wei State had to move its capital east from Anyi to Daliang.
Therefore, if we can recapture a few more cities east of the river and outside the river, it will be of extraordinary significance to the Wei State.
In addition, the land beyond the river is of great significance for protecting the security of Wei's western territory and deterring attacks on Qin. The land beyond the river is backed by the natural danger of the Yellow River. It can be attacked when advancing or defended when retreating. It can not only block the eastward passage of the Qin army, but also threaten the Qin mainland and protect the western border of Wei.
Moreover, the land east of the river and beyond is located in the world. It is a transportation hub and a gathering place for merchants. It has a prosperous economy and rich products. The terrain is flat and the land is fertile. The Yellow River and its tributaries run through it. There are sufficient water sources. The climate is mild and humid.
Whether it is developing agriculture or commerce, it has unique geographical advantages.
Moreover, this place is bordered by Chu in the south, Lianwei in the east, and Zhao in the north. Although it is surrounded by land on all sides, it is also the best place to use this place as the core to conquer the north and south.
"Send out troops and try to occupy as many cities as possible than the Zhao and Han armies, especially Anyi, the old capital of Wei Dynasty, which must be captured!" Wei Wuji looked at the generals gathered in the tent, patted the table, and glanced across the room. , looking at the old Jin Bi tribe headed by Jin Yao, "Anyone who dares to disobey this order will be punished with treason!"
"General, I will obey the general's military orders!" A number of Wei Jun generals saluted with clasped fists.
Wei Wuji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Jin Yao and the old Jin Bi tribe behind him with a murderous look.
A young guard behind Wei Wuji secretly took two steps forward, put his hand on the hilt of the sword, with a trace of unhappiness on his face, ready to draw the sword at any time.
If Jin Yao dares to cause trouble in conquering Hedong and Hewai, he really doesn't mind using his last reputation to execute Jin Yao for treason.
"General's order!"
Feeling Wei Wuji's sharp gaze, Jin Yao took a deep breath and chose to clasp his fists and obey.
Although Wei Wuji is over fifty years old and has a hint of gray hair on his temples, he has served as the commander-in-chief of the United Army and the general of Wei for many years. After all, this kind of majesty and courage are not something that a young man like Jin Yao can challenge.
What's more, Jin Yao only hates Wei Wuji, not because of his personal feelings. He is completely in vain for the people of his family and country. He is clear about the significance of taking back the land east of the river and beyond the river for the Wei State.
"General's order!"
Seeing Jin Yao accept the order, Jin Bi's old subordinates also expressed their obedience to the order.
Wei Wuji waved his hand, signaling the generals to retreat and reorganize their troops.
"Your Majesty, please consider this Jin Yao acquaintance, otherwise I will definitely kill him."
The young guard who was standing behind Wei Wuji poured a cup of tea for Wei Wuji, and his left hand holding the sword was still a little tentative.
"Er, you should take a longer view and don't just see the disharmony in front of you." Wei Wuji drank the tea, walked to the young guard, patted his shoulder, "Although Jin Yao and I There may be discord, but after all, he is a person who understands the general situation and will not use private interests to abolish public affairs. And with him, General Jin Bi's old troops can better exert their due combat power for Wei."
"I only know that this person has been against your Majesty many times."
The young guard known as "Ear" lowered his head, but still spoke a little stubbornly.
Wei Wuji shook his head and slapped him on the head. Although he was moved by his frankness and loyalty, he was also a little angry at him.
This young guard was his retainer, named Zhang Er, who was from Daliang. He once imitated the Mohist knight-errant and killed a nobleman who oppressed the people in Daliang. He then fled and came to Waihuang. He happened to meet him and was captured. His retainers took it.
After sending someone to investigate the ins and outs of what happened, Wei Wuji sent someone to make peace with the noble's clan on behalf of the young man, exempting him from the death penalty and allowing him to become his disciple.
However, what he didn't expect was that Zhang Er not only had a chivalrous spirit, but also showed a certain talent when he first came into contact with government affairs, especially military affairs. His talent made him shine.
The Wei Dynasty has no shortage of civil servants who can do practical things, but when it comes to leading troops and fighting wars, Wei State really lacks talents. Although Jin Yao has some talent, it is not enough.
Originally, with the support of Zhu Hai, the master of the Armored Sect, with Zhu Hai's body, it was not a problem to fight for another twenty or thirty years. However, he did not expect that Zhu Hai died due to collusion with the former Great Sikong Wei Yong and Luo Wang.
Today, in Wei State, he is the only one left who can command the army of more than 100,000 people.
He worried that one day Wei would be like Qi. Although the country was strong, it lacked generals who could lead the army in war.
And Zhang Er is the talent he values who can succeed him in commanding the army of Wei in the future.
If Jin Yao is a general, then Zhang Er is a handsome man.
So this time, he specially brought Zhang Er, but did not let him lead the troops into battle to kill the enemy. Instead, he took Zhang Er with him as a personal guard, hoping that Zhang Er would learn the ability to command an army by his side.
However, Zhang Er's frank temperament and indelible chivalry have become obstacles for Zhang Er to become a handsome man.
Wei Wuji couldn't help but frown.
Zhang Er was a little helpless, but in fact he understood everything.
But he understood clearly, but he was unwilling to do it.
If it weren't for Wei Wuji, he might still be in exile right now, and he wouldn't have the treatment he does now.
A scholar dies for his confidant, and for Wei Wuji, he is willing to give up his so-called future and even his life.
Another young guard on the side who also looked extremely young looked at the determination on Zhang Er's face and couldn't help but shake his head.
He and Zhang Er were childhood friends, and became best friends when they grew up. He naturally understood what his good brother was thinking in his mind.
"Your Majesty, please be at ease. If this kid is planning to do something stupid, I will definitely stop him."
After rolling his eyes, the young guard still had a smile on his face and cupped his fists at Wei Wuji.
"Yes, if you have enough, at least there is someone who can persuade you."
Wei Wuji chuckled softly. The young guard known as "Yu" was called Chen Yu. He was also from Daliang. He also showed some extraordinary talents in military affairs and was close friends with Zhang Er.
The two of them have always been known as the friends of Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, so whenever Zhang Er's head gets hot, Chen Yu is the only one who can dissuade Zhang Er.
For this reason, he specially brought Chen Yu here this time, hoping to train another deputy for Zhang Er who could persuade him.
Thinking of this, Wei Wuji held their hands, put Zhang Er's and Chen Yu's hands together tightly, and encouraged: "The future world belongs to young people after all, and you two must work together in the future to serve the motherland. "
Zhang Er and Chen Yu looked at each other, and both heard a different meaning in Wei Wuji's words.
Young people are full of energy and have passion and dreams to compete with the world's heroes and become famous.
Although they did not dare to say that they could become a hero like Wei Wuji who ranked first among the six countries in the world, they were confident that there would never be any discord between themselves and their friends. They immediately looked at each other and smiled, and shouted in unison: : "In this life, I will live up to my friends, my mother country, and even more to the kindness of my superiors."
Wei Wuji looked at the determination on their faces, held their hands and laughed, and the laughter lasted for a long time.
He believed that he would not misjudge the people. The young people in front of him would definitely become the pillars of the Wei State in the future and support the Wei State in the future.
"In the future, let the whole world know that our country, Wei, also has talents who can serve our motherland!"
