After Wu Qi made the decision, he immediately packed up his things without hesitation, and then left Xihe County with everyone and fled to Huai Kingdom.
Wang Pu had already made various preparations for Wu Qi's escape, and the secret guards had opened up all the joints in advance, allowing Wu Qi to escape from Wei State unimpeded.
At the same time, the news of Wu Qi's escape did not spread immediately. It was not until three days later, when the Marquis of Wei sent someone to urge him that Wu Qi had escaped.
Seeing Wu Qi fleeing, the entire Wei state was shocked. You must know that Wu Qi had repeatedly made military exploits in the Wei State, but now he was forced to flee. For a while, there was an undercurrent in the officialdom of the Wei State.
After the Marquis of Wei noticed this situation, he immediately announced that Wu Qi left because of his disagreement with his ideas, not because of a crime, and that he could not be stopped by checkpoints along the way.
But by the time the Marquis of Wei gave the order, Wu Qi had already left Wei and came to the land of Song under the protection of secret guards.
Wu Qi's flight had a great impact on Wei's political affairs. However, with the help of the old ministers left by Wei Wenhou, Wei Hou quickly stabilized the government. However, with Wu Qi's flight, a large number of talents in Wei also began to drain out.
You must know that Wu Qi was originally the idol of these people. After all, he was a commoner, a highly respected minister, and dominated the world. Countless people regarded him as a role model. As a result, now that Wu Qi has escaped, these people's ideas of serving as officials in Wei have also been shattered.
Han and Zhao received a large number of talents, but the nobles of the two countries were powerful and the monarchs did not have the courage of Wei Wenhou to reform. Therefore, many talents just stayed in the two countries for a while and then left for other countries.
Chu, Qi, and Yan also received many talents as a result.
Wu Qi fled, which made the Wei State a little embarrassed for a while, but he soon adjusted. Immediately afterwards, the Marquis of Wei appointed Gongsun Zuo as the general to take charge of Xihe County, and then led the Wei soldiers to continue to attack Qin.
At this time, the State of Qin also knew that the State of Wei was coming to attack, and quickly summoned an army to lay heavy defenses in Luoshui.
After Gongsun Tuo raised food and grass, he commanded the army to attack Qin. The Wei soldiers were worthy of being the strongest army in the world. Even without Wu Qi's command, they still took the lead bravely and were invincible. And Gongsun Zuo was no mediocre person, commanding the army to attack continuously.
Soon the army broke through the Luoshui defense line and advanced all the way, breaking through three Qin army's defense lines. The Qin army lost troops and generals, and the Wei army advanced directly to Hua County.
At the time of crisis, the Qin army fortified its walls and cleared the country, relying on the power of the mountains and rivers to resist step by step. At the same time, it sent envoys to contact all parties.
After the Huai State received the news that the Wei State was attacking Qin, Wang Pu immediately ordered the Song Army to attack the Wei area. To contain the Wei army.
The Huai State army attacked from the Song State and invaded the Wei area, breaking through seven cities in one day and marching hundreds of miles straight.
After the Wei State got the news, they quickly dispatched their troops to Wei. At the same time, the Marquis of Wei also sent an invitation to the Marquis of Zhao and the Marquis of Han, asking the three Jins to unite to fight against the Huai State again.
Zhao Guo and South Korea agreed but hesitated to send troops. Wei Marquis had to send Wei soldiers to resist. At the same time, envoys were sent to recall Gongsun Zu.
After Gongsun Tuo, who was leading his army to attack Qin, received the edict, he looked at the crumbling Qin army's line in the distance and reluctantly ordered the withdrawal.
No matter how unwilling Gongsun Zuo was, he had no choice but to lead his army to retreat. In the end, Wei's attack on Qin ended in vain.
Huai State dispatched a hundred thousand troops to attack and defend, and Wei State also summoned one hundred thousand Wei soldiers to fight. Seeing the high morale and majestic appearance of Wei's army, Huai did not dare to underestimate it anymore, and the two sides continued to fight on Wei's land.
After a fight, Wang Pu ordered the withdrawal of his troops after seeing that he had not taken any advantage. The original purpose of this battle was to rescue Qin and prevent Qin from being completely defeated by Wei and becoming Wei's land. Now after Huai State sent troops, Wei State has recalled its army.
After the Qin State had overcome this crisis, the Huai State's strategic goal had been achieved, and it immediately slowly withdrew from the Wei State's land.
Seeing this situation, Wei wanted to pursue, but ended up running into Huai's crossbow formation head-on. Wei suffered thousands of casualties. Since the formation of Wei Wuzu by Wu Qi in the Wei State, he has braved the natural dangers and conquered the south and the north without a single defeat. As a result, they actually suffered a big loss at the hands of Huai State this time. Directly shattering the myth that Wei Wu soldiers were undefeated.
After seeing Wei Wuzu's failure in this battle, Zhao Guo and South Korea, who were originally anxious, began to lose their composure. There are more and more small actions behind the scenes.
After the two battles of Wei State, although there were successive battles, they did not gain much benefit. After the war ended, Zhao finally came late, which made Wei Hou, who was already unhappy, even more resentful of Zhao Hou.
After Wu Qi fled from Wei, he came to Song soon. When he saw the changes in Song, Wu Qi was also shocked. In the land of the Song Dynasty, there were thousands of miles of fertile fields, prosperous people, and prosperous commerce. Compared with the Song Dynasty a few years ago, it was completely different.
The Song Dynasty had undergone such earth-shaking changes in just a few years.
"If the Song Dynasty was like this back then, how could it be the enemy of the Song Dynasty with only the defending army?" Wu Qi said.
"I wonder if there are people who are reforming the Song Dynasty after such great changes happened in the Song Dynasty?"
Xu Ke said: "Wu Jun, it is not a reform, but a large number of officials from the Huai State to the Song State to take charge of government affairs."
"The system now implemented by the Song State is exactly the system respected by the Huai State in the country."
"Huaiguo is indeed the birthplace of Legalism! Such a system is breathtaking." After Wu Qi learned about the matter, he was very emotional, and then began to observe these systems.
Wu Qi studied these systems of Huai State while rushing to Jinling of Huai State.
Although Wu Qi had read a lot of books in the past, he didn't know much about the Huai Kingdom. After all, he was born in a wealthy family, but he was not a nobleman, so many books were not available at all.
Everyone headed south, passed through the nest, and entered Jinling City by boat.
Wang Pu was resting at this time. When he heard Wu Qi coming, he didn't even bother to put on his shoes and rushed out.
After seeing Wu Qi, Wang Pu stepped forward and grabbed his arm and said: "Wu Zi has come a long way to work hard, come in with me quickly."
As he said this, he was about to pull Wu Qi into the palace, but at this moment, two eunuchs hurried over with shoes in their hands.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The two men hurriedly apologized.
Wang Pu laughed and said: "It's not your fault. It's just that I didn't have time to put on my shoes. Okay, you can go down first!"
After the two helped Wang Pu put on his shoes, they hurriedly left.
Seeing Wang Pu coming out to greet him barefoot, Wu Qi was immediately moved. He immediately paid homage to Wang Pu and said, "I fled to Jinling in embarrassment. Your Majesty went out to greet me on bare feet. I am so grateful for such a courtesy. If your Majesty does not give up, I am willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses!"
