In the main hall of the Wei State Palace, each of the Wei State courtiers was sitting on their own seats.

"Your Majesty is here."

Following a loud roar from outside the palace, countless eyes looked in the direction of the palace door in unison.

After a few breaths, facing the eyes directed at him from the front, Wei Feng passed the courtiers on both sides and walked to the seat that belonged to him.

When Wei Feng stopped, under the leadership of Prime Minister Gong Shucuo, a group of courtiers below came to the aisle one after another.

"I will pay my respects to you, Your Majesty."

"Excuse me."

After some due etiquette between monarchs and ministers, many Wei courtiers returned to their seats, and Wei Feng slowly sat down on the throne.

With a somewhat majestic gaze, he swept past him, taking in the expressions on the faces of the courtiers below, and then heard Wei Feng's voice ringing in the hall.

"Today's meeting will only discuss one thing."

"According to the reports from the soldiers stationed in Hexi, the Qin army on the border has been mobilized frequently in recent days, and the Qin State seems to be showing signs of a large-scale attack on our land in Hexi."

"How to deal with this war with the Qin State, I hope you can speak freely."

When Wei Feng said these words, all the courtiers in the hall suddenly fell into thinking and discussing.

While all the courtiers in the main hall were looking thoughtful, Prime Minister Duke Shucuo, who was sitting at the front of the crowd, slowly came to Wei Feng.

"I report to you, Your Majesty, that I, the State of Wei, cannot ignore Qin's offensive."

After bowing slightly to Wei Feng above him, Gongshu Cuo's thoughts gradually began to wander, and scenes of the battle between Qin, Wei, and Hexi kept reappearing in his mind.

"Your Majesty, the dispute between Qin, Wei and Hexi has been going on for a long time."

"Decades ago, first the Wei army led an army to attack the Qin State, and then the former king Wuhou, who was still the prince at the time, defeated the Qin army at Fanpang."

"Until the late king Wenhou appointed Wu Qi as the governor of Xihe County, Wei State had completely gained the upper hand in the battle with Qin State in Hexi. Qin State could only build a defense line along the Luoshui River to resist our offensive."

…

As Gongshu Cuo said, when the Qin State competed with the Wei State for Hexi during the time of Wei Wenhou, it can be said that it was completely at a disadvantage.

This was due to the internal political turmoil of the Qin State, which led to the decline of the country, and also because Wei Wenhou knew people well and chose Wu Qi, an unparalleled commander, to take charge of Hexi.

However, the importance of Hexi to the Qin State is self-evident. If the Wei State occupies Hexi, it can threaten the Guanzhong area, which is the core of the Qin State. Therefore, the Qin State will never sit back and watch Wei State occupy Hexi.

Therefore, several years after the death of Wei Wenhou, the Qin State mobilized the whole country to launch a war against the Wei State. This was the Battle of Yin and Jin that was extremely important to the Hexi War.

This war, which ended with Qin's defeat, not only established Wei's decades-long rule over Hexi, but also changed the direction of Qin's internal power struggle.

Just two years after the War of Yin and Jin, Qin Hui Gong, who initiated this war, died in depression, leaving only a pair of orphans and a widowed mother.

Ying Shixi, the son of Qin Linggong, who had been living in Wei for more than 20 years due to the palace incident, saw the opportunity contained in it and started his own journey back to his country.

After a bloody coup, Ying Shixi killed Qin Hui's wife and young son and became the new king of Qin.

After succeeding to the position of Duke of Qin, Ying Shixi, who saw the decline of the country, did not immediately launch a war to regain Hexi. Instead, he followed the example of Wei and started a revolution in Qin.

Abolish the burial of sacrifices, establish a county system, and establish a military...

After nearly twenty years of reform, the once weakened Qin State became strong again in the hands of Ying Shixi.

At this time, an idea that had existed in Ying Shixi's heart for decades became Qin's next national policy.

Defeated Wei and recaptured Hexi.

As an eyewitness to the battle between Qin, Wei, and Hexi, Gongshucuo used one sentence to fully demonstrate the full picture of this confrontation between the two countries to the courtiers present.

When the words finished in the main hall, Gongshu Cuo looked directly at Wei Feng above.

"Your Majesty, the State of Qin has not given up its coveted battle for Hexi for decades, but has been limited by its strength and has not chosen to send troops."

"Now that the Qin State has taken action, it only means one thing. The Qin State has made sufficient preparations to recapture Hexi."

After listening to Gongshu Cuo's words, the expression on Wei Feng's face, who was sitting behind a few cases, became particularly serious.

Through his personal experience in his previous life and Gongshu Cuo's narration, Wei Feng better understood the significance of this battle in Hexi.

There is no doubt that this is a battle that will overwhelm the country!

In the future, hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Qin and Wei will join this battle in Hexi, and this battle will directly determine the ownership of the land in Hexi.

Wei Feng was not the only one to realize the importance of this battle in Hexi. The court officials below also knew how powerful it was, and at the same time they were also thinking about how to win this battle.

At this moment, a man suddenly walked out from among the courtiers' seats. This man was none other than Duan Qianjie, who had now been promoted to a high official in the state of Wei.

Bowing to Wei Feng who was sitting on the throne above, he heard the senior official say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I think that since the Qin State is not ready yet, we, the Wei State, might as well take a pre-emptive strike and send an army to take the initiative.

Cross the Luoshui River and take the initiative to attack Qin."

"Your Majesty, this plan is not feasible."

As soon as Duan Qianjie's proposal was uttered, a voice of opposition came from the courtiers below, and then Sima Gongsun Qi was seen coming from the seat in front of Wei Feng.

The next moment, everyone present heard Gongsun Qi say in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, it might have been possible if the doctor had made this statement a few months ago, but it is a bit late to say it now."

"Now the Hexi garrison has sent back news of frequent mobilizations of the Qin army, which shows that Qin is already preparing to attack Hexi."

"If our Wei army attacks rashly at this moment, not only will we not be able to achieve victory, but we may even encounter heavy troops from Qin."

Seeing that Gongsun Qi directly rejected his suggestion, although Duan Qianjie knew that what he said made sense, he still felt a little dissatisfied with it.

With a tone of displeasure, Duan Qianjie asked Gongsun Qi, "Then what is Sima's response?"

"The situation now is that the enemy is in darkness and we are in the clear. If we attack rashly, we will inevitably suffer a disastrous defeat."

Looking at Duan Qianjie on the side, he saw that Gongsun Qi was looking at Wei Feng above, "I would like to report to you, Your Majesty. I think that since we cannot take the initiative to attack, our army might as well adopt a strategy of luring the enemy in depth."

After hearing Gongsun Qi's suggestion, the expression on Wei Feng's face became more serious, and a faint cold light suddenly bloomed in his eyes.
