After the Huai State annexed several small countries in succession, the Central Plains War came to an end. Wu Qi commanded an army of 50,000 and marched thousands of miles to defeat the Qi-Chu coalition in one battle, which shocked the world.
The power of Wei's military force shocked the world.
After the Wei State captured the Marquis of Qi, they ceded a large area of Qi State's land, and then released the Marquis of Qi. At the same time, the Three Jin Alliance went south to attack the Chu State. The Chu State was defeated and did not dare to compete with it, so it had to cede its land to seek peace. As a result, Sanjin obtained a large area of land.
But when it came time to distribute the land, Wei wanted to connect the land it occupied Qi with Wei's, so it chose a large piece of land between Zhangshui and the Yellow River. However, Zhao did not want Wei to get this land. , because this place poses a great threat to the capital of Zhao State.
However, after seeing the power of Wei's soldiers, Zhao Hou did not dare to forcefully fight with Wei even though he was very dissatisfied.
The Marquis of Wei naturally saw the dissatisfaction of the Marquis of Zhao. The Marquis of Zhao actually built the capital here because he wanted to go south to the Central Plains and annex the Wei Kingdom.
The Marquis of Wei was naturally unwilling, and this time he wanted to use the opportunity of dividing the land to beat the Marquis of Zhao. In the past, Zhao and Qi were competing for the land of Zhangshui, but now it became Wei's land. As a result, Zhao's many years of operating in Zhangshui were all in vain.
The Marquis of Wei established Ye City on the south bank of the Zhang River to block Zhao's southward march. This severely damaged Zhao's strategy of marching south to the Central Plains. At the same time, the establishment of Ye City also placed Zhao's capital, Zhongmou, under siege.
In front of Zhongmu in Zhao State is Chaoge and to the east is Tangyin, both of which are important military towns of Wei State. To the west of Zhongmu is the Taihang Mountains. There is no room for development. How can the capital be built in such a place? Zhao Hou had to move the capital to Zhongmu. Arrive in Handan.
At the same time, the Marquis of Wei continued to win over the Marquis of Han, forcing the State of Chu to abandon the State of Zheng, and creating conditions for South Korea to annex the State of Zheng.
After a great battle, Wei became the biggest winner in the war.
After the Wei State passed this reform, its strength rapidly increased and it became the new overlord. On the other hand, the corporal Wei Hou Lixian, regardless of his background, attracted a large number of scholars to join him. Got to get stronger.
The Marquis of Wei gave great importance to these talents. Wu Qi was appointed by him as the governor of Xihe County, in charge of Wei Wu soldiers, and Ximen Bao was entrusted with the important task of governing Yecheng.
For a time, all industries in the Wei Kingdom were prosperous and the military was strong. Wang Pu was also very surprised after receiving the battle report from Zhongyuan.
Although he knew how powerful the Legalist hegemony technique was, he never expected that the Wei State, which was only one-third of the land of the Jin State and was located in the land of the Four Wars, could erupt with such astonishing energy. The state of Wei was actually able to train 100,000 Wei soldiers through military force.
If Wu Qi is allowed to attack Huai, without using the divine weapon of destiny, Huai will have to cede territory and retreat to avoid its edge. It can only rely on territory, numbers and logistics, and fight hard to kill him. But if He and If he plays against each other, Sun Wu will end up in Chu.
"Wu Qi is truly a military genius!" Wang Pu couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the information sent back by the Central Plains spy.
"Fifty thousand Wei warriors roamed the world, and they were like Sun Wuzi in those days."
There was silence in the Huai Kingdom Hall for a while. After reading these battle reports, everyone felt a pressure like a mountain rushing towards their faces. Faced with such a strong military figure, who dares to say that he can withstand it?
"Do you know who Wu Qi studied under?" Wang Pu asked.
"Your Majesty, we have already investigated." Wang Zong next to him said: "Wu Qi just started to study Confucianism, but was later driven away by his master Zeng Shen. Then he obtained some military classics, which were like treasures. He studied and studied them painstakingly until he became an official. Wei State."
"Self-taught?" Wang Pu asked in surprise.
"Yes, if the secret guard is not mistaken, then he is self-taught!" Wang Zong said.
"What a genius!" Wang Pu sighed.
Relying only on some books and without any guidance, Wu Qi was able to train Wei soldiers and command the army to fight so sharply. He was truly a genius.
"There are no less than a hundred people in the academy who are learning the art of military strategism, but not even half of them can achieve this level of achievement." Wang Pu said. The art of military attaches great importance to qualifications. Other schools of thought can still rely on hard work and rote memorization, and you will gain something. But in the art of war, you
If you want to memorize things by rote, on the battlefield, you will simply have one incompetent general and tire out the entire army.
Therefore, if military strategists want to achieve something, it all depends on their talent. If you don't have talent, even if you learn the art of military strategism, you will only be at the level of a five hundred lord or a thousand generals at most.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Wu Qi is greedy for money, lustful, and focused on fame and fortune. Why don't you go here and lure him to join me in the Huai Kingdom?" A nearby prince suggested.
"No!" Wang Zong interrupted directly.
"Why not? Although this person has bad conduct, as long as he can..."
"Has bad conduct?" Wang Pu smiled and said, "Do you think he has bad conduct?"
"Isn't it?" Several other clan members asked in confusion.
Wang Pu shook his head. The peaceful environment of the Huai Kingdom's palace made the children of the palace a little naive about the political struggle for power. Wang Pu also felt a little emotional, but if the children of the palace were allowed to fight for power like other vassal states, you would live and die. The bloody storm is like raising a poison, so forget it.
Politics can be learned, and the official records of the internal struggles of various countries are enough for them to learn, but if people grow crooked, they will be hopeless.
"You say he is greedy for money and lustful. At that time, the land allocated to him in Xihe was more than a million acres. If he had the intention, he could easily obtain a large amount of wealth, but how did he do it? Not a trace of it was tainted!"
"How can such a person be greedy for money? His so-called greed for money is just to show the king! If you believe it, you are really stupid."
"As for lustful, his life is simple, he shares the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, and he has no concubines at home. How can he be considered lustful? He is also greedy for money and lustful on purpose!"
Wang Pu said with a smile: "As for fame and fortune, maybe there is. However, in this world, among the scholars who serve in various countries, except for a few who are seeking revenge in their hearts, how many of them are not doing it for fame and fortune?"
"Wu Qi has such a great talent and has made such great achievements. Doesn't he deserve the fame and fortune?"
After hearing Wang Pu's words, everyone agreed.
"But if that's the case, wouldn't Wu Qi be invulnerable? How can we invite him to Huai Kingdom?"
"Hey, Wu Qi himself may be invulnerable, but others are not!" Wang Zong said with a smile.
Wang Pu heard this and looked over quickly.
"Your Majesty, Wu Qi's contribution to the Wei Kingdom can be ranked first, but he is at odds with the Wei Crown Prince." Wang Zong said: "The Crown Prince also has a history of meritorious deeds, but unlike his father Wei Hou, he values more Origin. He doesn’t think much of Wu Qi.”
"Now the Marquis of Wei trusts Wu Qi, but when the Marquis of Wei gets old and the prince comes to the throne, Wu Qi and the prince are at odds. As long as we use the strategy of alienation, the Marquis of Wei will help us force Wu Qi away. Then we can naturally invite him to Huai country..."
