The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

After the spring sowing was over, armies from various countries also mobilized. Chu State dispatched 100,000 troops to the border of Qi State, while Qin State also dispatched troops to Chongquan to prepare to attack Wei State. South Korea and Zhao were also immersed in fighting against the eldest brother Wei many times in the military field, and thought that Wei was about to die. It is a pity that although Zhao Han cut some flesh from Wei in the five or six years since King Wei Hui took the throne, it did nothing to Wei.

"My dear friends, the spring sowing has ended. Who is going to declare war on Han and Zhao?"The Marquis of Wei asked.

The ministers below were all discussing in low voices who should go. At this time, Duan Qianpeng stood up and said:"Your Majesty, I would like to go to South Korea to declare war, and I recommend the general's nephew, Dr. Pang Cong, to go to Zhao. Dr. Pang Chong has always been courageous and had great political achievements when he was the governor of Hanoi County. He severely punished local criminals and powerful men and was good at diplomacy.""Okay, let's go to the two countries respectively, Duan Qianpeng, the senior doctor, and Pang Cong, the middle doctor.

Pang Juan stood up and said,"Your Majesty, the 100,000 troops recruited from Hedong County and Hanoi County have been assembled. The army is in Weisi."The army and General Yan have been trained and can go into battle immediately."The Marquis of Wei was very happy to hear this. Under the leadership of Pang Juan, the Wei army also came out of the downturn, and its combat effectiveness gradually became stronger. He also helped him train 100,000 Wei soldiers. The Marquis of Wei liked this general very much.

"With the arrangement of the general, Gu is very relieved. This year, our country Wei will have to pay the price for Han and Zhao!"The voice of the Marquis of Wei changed from soft to strong. The change of voice was very natural. Prime Minister Gongshu Cuo stood up and said:"Your Majesty, all the food and grass for this campaign have been prepared and will be delivered to Anyi tomorrow.""There is a prime minister who has collected all the food and grass, so I don't worry about being alone."After the Marquis of Wei finished speaking, he saw that the Prime Minister Gongshu Cuo still had something to say, but stopped and asked,"Prime Minister, what else can I do?" When Gongshu Cuo heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said,"Your Majesty, I am old, and I would like to recommend someone. As prime minister, this person will definitely make our country Wei strong." When the Marquis of Wei heard this, he sat up straight and asked,"Who is it?""Gentleman, this person is my student named Wei Yang. He has always been a great talent.""Gongshu Cuo replied.

After hearing Wei Yang's name, the Marquis of Wei began to think."Father, I have something to say. As soon as Wei Hou heard about it:"Shen'er, what's the matter?""My father, I also heard about Wei Yang. One day, I was drinking with General Wei Si in a restaurant. I heard several people talking about the problems of Wei State. One of them said something about Bi Duan of Wei State. Several solutions were given. This person was Wei Yang, and Wei Yang must be a great talent."Wei Shen said in a daze.

After hearing this, the Marquis of Wei said:"This person has such a great talent. He must be from our country of Wei. Prime Minister, please teach and pay attention to this person.""Follow your Majesty's orders."Gongshu Cuo said.

A few days later,

Han Ruoshan, the Marquis of Han in the Korean court, was enjoying singing and dancing. Prime Minister Han Ye stepped forward and said:"Your Majesty, the envoys of the State of Wei have come to ask for an audience.""Oh, Wei envoy, let him come in."

Han Hou said, keeping his eyes on the dancer's white-skinned figure.

After a while, Duan Qianpeng, the senior official of Wei State, arrived. He saw several dancers still dancing in the hall, and he knew in his heart that this was Han Hou's intention. Then he said loudly:"Marquis Han, Wei's envoy Duan Qianpeng submitted a declaration of war the day before yesterday! After saying that, he handed the letter of war to Han Xiang Han Ye who was standing aside and left. When the Marquis of Han heard that he was coming to declare war, he just wanted to ask Duan Qianpeng to stay, but Duan Qianpeng walked out in a swagger.

The Marquis of Han had never been so humiliated. He cursed:"What are you bitches still dancing about? Get out of here!""When all the dancers heard that Han Hou was so angry, they all retreated to the harem."Old thief Wei Hou, if you want to fight, I will fight with you. I have an army of 100,000, why should I be afraid of you Wei!"The Marquis of Han said angrily.

He drew his sword and slashed it on several cases. Seeing that the Marquis of Han's anger had subsided, Han Ye, the Prime Minister of Han, stepped forward and said,"Your Majesty, I think that the first step is to assemble the army. This time the Wei State Declaring war on our country must declare war on Zhao State. Therefore, our country, South Korea, must first prepare the defense of the capital Xinzheng and secondly, company and Zhao State to deal with Wei State. After hearing what Prime Minister Han said, he said,"Prime Minister, are you a bit out of your mind?" Han

Ye replied:"Your Majesty, it is a good thing to admit your mistake in time. I believe that South Korea will win this battle.""Han Hou said:"I believe you, then who should be the general in this battle?"Your Majesty, I recommend Han Shan. This person is the commander-in-chief of the Xinzheng Camp. He has trained 30,000 elite soldiers for our country in South Korea. This person has been in the army for more than ten years and participated in dozens of wars. He once fought during the civil war in Wei. , defeated the Wei general Gongsun Cuo, and beheaded more than 10,000 Wei soldiers. Han Shan had rich combat experience, and I recommended that Han Shan would definitely defeat the Wei army. When Marquis Han heard this, he actually defeated Wei General Gongsun Cuo, and immediately said:"This battle will be led by General Han Shan."""Your Majesty is Holy Ming."Han Ye bowed. Han Hou said again:"Prime Minister, I leave it to the Prime Minister to send envoys to Zhao.""obey."

Zhao Hou Zhao Zhong asked in the Zhao court

:"My lords, the State of Wei has declared war on our country, what should I, the State of Zhao, do?"I saw all the ministers below looking at each other in confusion, and no one answered. Seeing that no one answered, the Marquis of Zhao said angrily:"I didn't expect that in such a large court of our Zhao Kingdom, no one would worry about being alone. I am raising you all alone. What's the use!

After hearing what Marquis Zhao said, all the ministers lowered their heads. At this time, Prime Minister Gong Zhongle, who was sitting next to Marquis Zhao, stood up and replied:"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have a strategy to defeat Wei." After Zhao Hou heard that the Prime Minister had a plan, he turned to Gong Zhongle and asked,"I wonder if the Prime Minister has any good plan?""

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Wei State's declaration of war on our country is just a pretense, and the annexation of our land is the real thing. If Wei State declares war on our country, it must declare war on South Korea. I believe that Korean envoys will soon come to our Zhao State to deal with Wei. country, and I believe that Qin will definitely send troops to attack Wei."Gong Zhongle said.

After hearing this, Marquis Zhao asked:"Prime Minister, why are you sure that Qin will attack Wei? Gong Zhongle replied:"Your Majesty, the Qin State wants to regain the land west of Hexi day and night. Now, the main force of the Wei State attacks Han and Zhao. The country must be empty. In addition, the famous general Pang Juan of the Wei State must be leading the army." Attack Han and Zhao, so Qin must attack Wei."

When Zhao Hou heard this, the anger in his chest disappeared in an instant, and he said:"Then how should Zhao, the country, deal with Wei's army?"Your Majesty, I think you should lead the troops to the Huishui area. I recommend Zhao Shou to be the commander-in-chief. He will lead 70,000 troops to guard the Huishui area and 30,000 to guard Handan. Zhao Shou has also been in the army for nearly ten years. He is cautious in using his troops." , can take on big responsibilities."Gong Zhongle said."Okay, just follow what the prime minister said."

The ministers said:"Your Majesty is wise."A guard walked into the palace and reported:"Your Majesty, Han Ye, the Prime Minister of South Korea, has come to ask for an audience. When Zhao Hou heard this, he laughed and said,"It's just as the prime minister said.""

Chaotang of the State of Qin

"Your Majesty, the food and fodder for the 200,000-strong army has been transported to Chongquan City. Our army will definitely win this battle." said Dr. Qianlong. Qin Gong said excitedly:"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Dr. Qin. Zhang Zhu stood up and said:"

Your Majesty, I heard that Wei has declared war on Han and Zhao, and I also sent people to investigate that the general who attacked Han and Zhao was Pang Juan. Therefore, I concluded that Wei's 100,000 Wei soldiers must attack Han and Zhao." , and the only generals left in Anyi were a man named Wei Cuo and Wei general Gongsun Cuo. This attack on Wei was a God-given opportunity, and I was very sure of defeating these two.

After hearing this, Duke Qin stood up and said,"Okay, the main force of the Wei army is attacking Han and Zhao. This is a God-given opportunity. General Zhang, you will be responsible for this battle.""Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Several soldiers were sitting by the campfire in the Chongquan Camp of the State of Qin. A fifteen-year-old soldier said:"Commander, do you think we can defeat the State of Wei?""The captain next to him knocked on his head and said:"Of course I won the battle. You must know that I was just a small soldier in the Battle of Shimen. I followed General Zhang to kill the Wei army. I killed two of the Wei soldiers one by one. Besides, This battle is not about Wei Wu's soldiers. As long as they are not Wei's soldiers, I can kill a few heads at will."

After hearing what the captain said, the soldier was no longer afraid. He only had the mood to kill the enemy. Unfortunately, the Qin army did not encounter the Wei State who was hurriedly preparing an army during the Battle of Shimen, but the elite Wei soldiers and Xihe County soldiers of the Wei Army. Fifty thousand well-trained soldiers from Xihe County. (The Qin State sent 100,000 troops in the Battle of Shimen. At that time, the Wei State was empty, and the Marquis of Wei could only temporarily recruit 60,000 people to participate in the war, which led to the Wei State's defeat)
