"Knock knock knock..."

A rhythmic knocking sound resounded in the main hall of Wei State's palace, immediately attracting the attention of all the courtiers.

Just now, there was a fierce verbal exchange in the Wei court about how to deal with Qin's offensive.

Some courtiers clearly sided with Duan Qianjie, the senior official, and advocated taking the initiative to launch an offensive against Qin.

The previous consecutive great victories against South Korea and Wei had given these Wei courtiers full confidence in the combat power of the Wei army.

In their view, even if the Qin State really garrisoned a large army west of Luoshui, the Wei army could completely crush it with its powerful military force and steadily compress Qin's defense line step by step.

This group of courtiers took the initiative to attack Qin, while the other group of courtiers supported Sima Gong and Sun Qi's views.

They believed that since the enemy was hidden and we were clear, it was not wise to take the initiative at this moment. They should secretly mobilize the army while strictly guarding the cities in Hexi.

When Qin takes the initiative to launch an attack, Wei can move due to the enemy and use the strategy of luring the enemy deep into the hinterland to lure the Qin army into the hinterland for a decisive battle.

After severely inflicting heavy losses on the invading Qin army, the Wei army, armed with the power of victory, could take advantage of the situation to advance westward and seize a large area of ​​Qin's territory west of Luoshui in one fell swoop.

Suddenly, the original main hall seemed to have turned into a restaurant where diners competed with each other.

Just when the courtiers on both sides were in a stalemate, the prime minister, Gong Shucuo, who was the head of the courtiers, stood up and asked Wei Feng, who had not expressed his opinion above, to decide the matter.

In this way, silence finally returned to the main hall, but after Prime Minister Uncle Cuo finished speaking, almost all eyes looked upward in unison.

Everyone wants to know, as the king of a country, what choice will Wei Feng make at this moment?

"knock."

After an unknown amount of time, with the last knocking sound, Wei Feng slowly raised his head and looked at the courtiers below.

Looking down at him, he heard Wei Feng say in a deep voice: "Everyone, I think it is not advisable to advance blindly because the enemy's situation is still unknown. It is best to make a decision before taking action."

As soon as Wei Feng's words came out, the faces of all the courtiers present were shocked. Everyone knew that the debate on how to deal with Qin's offensive had reached its final conclusion.

After the debate settled, all the courtiers, led by Prime Minister Gongshu Cuo, stood up one after another and bowed to Wei Feng.

"Your Majesty is wise."

After a while, when the praise, which was either sincere or slanderous, dissipated in the hall, Wei Feng's somewhat majestic gaze slowly swept between the courtiers below.

Now that the strategy has been decided, it is time to deploy troops and generals.

"Where is General Long Jia?"

When he heard Wei Feng's call from above, a calm figure among the ministers slowly stood up from his seat.

"The general is here." He bowed to Wei Feng and heard Long Jia respond in a deep voice.

Looking at the familiar face in his field of vision, the memories of the past life in his mind surged towards Wei Feng like a tide.

In his previous life, after experiencing the disastrous defeats of the Battle of Maling and the Battle of Guiling, and the decline of Wei's power, it was this general who guarded Hexi and withstood Qin's offensives again and again.

Until King Ying Si of Qin led the Qin army to attack Hexi with Gongsun Yan and Ying Ji as generals, Long Jia was defeated and finally died for his country.

It can be said that Long Jia, who was a general of Wei from beginning to end, was loyal to the state of Wei, and dying for the country showed his integrity, but he was indebted to him.

As his thoughts returned to reality from the memories in his mind, Wei Feng looked at Long Jia with a look of guilt, but this guilt was soon replaced by some determination.

"According to my order, General Long Jia is sent to take control of Hexi. At the same time, the number of troops stationed in Hexi is increased to 50,000."

After announcing an order, Wei Feng looked at Long Jia, "I grant the general the right to make decisions on the fly. If the Qin army launches an offensive against Hexi, the general can choose his own military strategy."

Upon hearing Wei Feng's decision, Long Jia's head suddenly raised, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.

Although it is said in "The Art of War" that generals outside the country will not accept the orders of the monarch, how can the generals outside the country be indifferent to the orders of the monarch.

If this were the case, there would not have been so many generals in history who had to attack due to pressure from the monarch, let alone the defeats that resulted from this.

At this moment, Wei Feng granted Long Jia the right to make emergency decisions, which was also a promise to Long Jia that he would not interfere with Long Jia's future decisions on the Hexi battlefield.

Wei Feng's words undoubtedly gave Long Jia the greatest trust and allowed Long Jia to deal with the upcoming war without any worries.

"In the end, the general must do his best to protect Hexi for our country, Wei."

After saying that, Long Jia returned to his seat, and Wei Feng's eyes immediately moved to another figure present.

"Where is General Pang Juan?"

"The general is here." As soon as Wei Feng finished speaking, Pang Juan's reply appeared in the hall.

Looking at Pang Juan who quickly came to him, Wei Feng pondered for a moment before another order appeared in the ears of the courtiers.

"According to my order, with Pang Juan as general, we will recruit an army of 100,000 people in Hedong to be ready to deal with emergencies on the Hexi front line at any time."

Upon hearing Wei Feng's order, Pang Juan's eyes immediately showed some excitement.

It's not that Pang Juan never thought that one day he would be able to stand alone, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

At this moment, Pang Juan felt a little excited and a little grateful because of Wei Feng's trust in him.

After taking a moment to calm down the turmoil in his heart, Pang Juan bowed solemnly to Wei Feng: "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."

Long Jia, who was good at defense, led 50,000 elites to sit in Hexi as the first line of defense against the Qin army;

Pang Juan, who was good at battles, led an army of 100,000 to the east of Hedong, ready to meet the invading Qin army at any time.

In order to deal with Qin's attack, Wei sent out a total of 150,000 troops, which was enough to show that Wei Feng attached great importance to this battle in Hexi.

However, in addition to mobilizing the army under his command, Wei Feng did not forget that he also had two allies, Zhao Guo and South Korea, standing beside him.

Thinking of this, Wei Feng shouted in a deep voice below: "What's wrong with your Majesty?"

"I'm here." Hearing Wei Feng's voice, Wang Cuo immediately stood up to answer.

I heard Wei Feng say to Wang Cuo: "Your Majesty has been traveling around South Korea and Zhao Kingdom over the years, and is familiar with the courts of both countries. This time, I have to make it harder for your beloved."

"Your Majesty's words are serious. As a minister of Wei, Wang Cuo should take care of the country's worries. How dare he say the word "hard work." After some responses, Wang Cuo bowed and accepted the order.

At this point, all preparations for the war in Wei have been completed, and now it is time for officials at all levels to perform their duties.

Slowly standing up from the throne, Wei Feng looked forward with a more solemn look, "Xiangguo, Sima and all of you, please leave me with this battle."

"I am willing to serve you."
