The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Wei Guo’s court

Wei Lang felt dizzy after receiving the urgent report. His close ministers rushed to support him and said in panic: “Your Majesty, what’s wrong? Do you want to call the imperial physician?”

Wei Lang waved his hand to refuse. After calming down, he said to the ministers: “Everyone, Guanzhong County has been completely occupied by Qin State. Wei Cuo died to ensure the safe evacuation of the army! Long Jia led the main force of Guanzhong to retreat to Xihe County. One hundred thousand Qin troops have been desperately attacking Xihe County. Everyone, what should we do next?”

Prime Minister Hui Shi stood up and said: “Your Majesty, I can only mobilize 50,000 Hu Ben troops from Anyi to support! The combat effectiveness of the Hu Ben army is comparable to that of Wei. The Wuzu are equal, and the Huben Army will certainly be able to stop the Qin army's attack! ”

Sima Shiju stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, the Huben Army in Anyi cannot be mobilized, it is used to deter Chu and Han! If it is mobilized, then there will be no soldiers in the old capital of Wei! The only way to deal with it now is to hope that Gongsun Yan's army can come back quickly!"

Wei Ling asked: "Then where do you think Gongsun Yan is now?"

"Your Majesty, Daliang is far away from Jinyang. Even if the envoy gallops to Jinyang, it will take nearly a month. It will take Gongsun Yan's army a month to return to Xihe County. It is estimated that Gongsun Yan is still on the way!" Ji Liang replied.

Wei Shen stood up and said, "Father, my Wei State still has 100,000 garrison soldiers, and these soldiers can still be used. In addition, Gou Bian and Shi Bei in Shangjun still have 50,000 people, and Shi Bei still has 30,000 cavalry in his hands, which can rescue Xihe County in time!"

Prime Minister Hui Shi stood up and objected, "Your Majesty, if these 30,000 cavalry come down, then we will consume too much food and grass. The food consumed by one horse is equivalent to that of ten people!"

Wei Lang could only give an order, "Then mobilize the garrison soldiers. Who else in the court can be a general?"

The civil officials looked at the lower generals, and Wei Lang also looked at the remaining lower generals and their assistants, but Wei Lang did not want to use them. After all, these people could not play in such a high-end game.

Gan Mao volunteered, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the army to support you!"

When Wei Gong was about to speak, a messenger rushed in. The messenger was dressed in a mess, his armor had fallen off, and he knelt on the ground and cried, "Your Majesty! The general is dead! The Qi army lured our army into Maling Road, and our 30,000 Wei Wu soldiers and the general died in Maling Road! General Wei Zhang led the remaining 70,000 people to retreat to Wei County to resist the attack of the Qi army!"

Everyone was stunned after hearing this, and their heads went blank. Even Wei Shen was also stunned. You know, in history, Pang Juan had a prince Shen to hold him back, but after Wei Shen's change, Pang Juan's deputy general was the famous Wei Zhang in history. How could he still be defeated in Maling Road?

At this time, the ministers in the court were already in a panic. After all, the one who died was not an ordinary general. If it was an ordinary general, even if ten of them died, it would not matter. But this one was not ordinary, but a general of the highest rank in the country, equivalent to the current deputy commander-in-chief..

Wei Ling spat out a mouthful of blood, "My king!"

"Call the doctor!"

"My king!"

On the bed

Wei Ling's face was pale and lifeless, and he was almost dying. Wei Ling looked at Wei Shen who was standing by and said weakly: "Son! Your father is dying!"

"My king! I don't want to leave you!" After so many years of contact, Wei Shen had already developed feelings for the King of Wei, and had already brought in the feelings between father and son.

"Son! This time I was defeated because of my fault! Those who destroyed my hegemony were Sun Bin and Tian Yinqi! I wish I could eat their skin and flesh! I am ashamed to see my ancestors! 30,000 soldiers! Even the life of my general was lost! My Wei has never suffered such a tragic defeat!"

Wei Gong grabbed Wei Shen's hand and said, "Shen'er! You must remember this grudge! You must avenge our country and enhance our country's prestige!"

"Also, you must treat your brothers well. Brothers! Brothers work together, and their strength can break metal!"

"Call all your brothers in!"

"Yes!"

Wei Lang looked at the four sons who had just come in, and said earnestly: "You must unite and help each other, and never fight among yourselves! Brothers must work together! You must assist your brother! Never have the intention to visit! Wei Li! Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard it, father!" Wei Li said hurriedly.

Wei Lang looked at the other three sons and asked, "Wei He, you like to practice martial arts and fight. I believe you can become a general who can stand on your own. You must stop your reckless heart. Wei Si, you are too timid and don't show any respect to others. You must read more in the future and help your brother with internal affairs! Wei Gao, you are too honest. I am very worried that you will be deceived by others. In the future, you will stay with your brother and help him handle political affairs."

"Yes! The children will listen to the teachings of our father!" The three agreed.

Wei Ling said again: "Call Huizi, Shiju, Mengzi, and Shenzi to come!"

"Yes!"

After the four came, Wei Ling asked tremblingly: "Huizi! After I am gone, will you still assist my son?"

Huizi stepped forward and cried: "Your Majesty! I swear to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince until death!"

"My dear ministers! Will you help my Wei country get out of this disaster?"

"Your Majesty! We swear to serve the Wei country until death!"

Wei Ling smiled and nodded, saying: "Okay! I'm relieved! Shen'er! You must listen to the advice of the ministers, stay away from villains, and get close to gentlemen. I can no longer see Wei State unifying the world. It's up to you next..."

"Father!"

"Your Majesty!"

Wei State was defeated in the Battle of Maling. General Pang Juan was killed. The Wei army was in panic. Wei Ling, the third king of Wei State, vomited blood and died. He was named King Hui. The crown prince Wei Shen succeeded to the throne in Daliang.

Shi Ju immediately said to Wei Shen: "Your Majesty, now I, WeiThe country is in the midst of wars, and the people must be stabilized! I think the death should be kept secret!"

Wei Shen agreed: "Okay! Sima, you immediately mobilize the soldiers to guard this palace, and no servants or palace maids can be allowed to come out! The news must be blocked!"

"Yes!"

Mencius also said: "Your Majesty, I think the imperial guards should be dispatched immediately to support Xihe County. I recommend Gan Mao to lead the troops with my head as a recommendation!"

Prime Minister Hui Shi objected: "If the imperial guards leave, there will be no soldiers in Daliang City! What if the Chu State suddenly sends troops to the north, who should my Wei State use to stop it!"

Wei Shen, who was thinking, asked: "Sima, what is the news from the Chu State recently? ”

Shi Ju thought for a while and replied: "According to the spies, Chu has 50,000 people attacking Han and is now fighting with Han. There are 100,000 people stationed on the border of Qin and another 100,000 on the border of Qi! I think Chu wants to catch the cicada while the oriole is behind!"
