After a court meeting, the officials dispersed in twos and threes, but Gongshu Cuo and Sima Gongsun Qi, who were prime ministers, were left alone.

"Your Majesty, Uncle Cuo, I would like to pay my respects to you."

"My lord, Sun Qi, pays homage to your Majesty."

"Two gentlemen, please get up quickly."

He quickly stepped forward and helped Gongshu Cuo and Gongsun Qi to their feet. Looking at these two trusted ministers standing in front of him, Wei Feng had a kind smile on his face.

"The reason why I left you two alone today is because I have some war matters to discuss with you."

After saying this, Wei Feng slowly took a step forward and made an invitation gesture to Gongshu Cuo and Gongsun Qi.

"Would you two be willing to accompany me for a walk?"

When Wei Feng's invitation sounded in their ears, Gongshu Cuo and Gongsun Qi looked at each other and bowed forward in unison.

"I will obey your Majesty's orders."

Just like this, in this beautiful and sunny weather, Wei Feng and the other three walked among the vibrant scenery, letting the gentle breeze blow over their cheeks, feeling the beauty brought by spring.

After walking for an unknown distance, Wei Feng and the others arrived at the bank of a stream in the Wei Palace.

After listening to the sweet sound of running water for a while, Wei Feng's voice rang in the ears of Gongshu Cuo and Gongsun Qi.

"As the saying goes: 'Before the soldiers and horses move, food and grass go first.' Food and grass are to the soldiers just like streams are to the swimming fish, and they must not be missing."

"This time, in order to cope with Qin's upcoming offensive, Wei State has mobilized a total of 150,000 troops. The supply of food and grass is related to the success or failure of the battle, and more importantly, the life and death of the army. There cannot be any negligence."

At this point, Wei Feng's voice stopped suddenly, and he slowly turned around to look at Gongshu Cuo, who was standing half a step behind him.

"There are countless officials in the imperial court of the State of Wei, but in terms of thoroughness and prudence, none of them can compare with the Prime Minister."

"I would really feel uneasy if the provision of food and fodder for the army was left to others. The Prime Minister would have to worry more about this matter."

When Gongshu Cuo heard Wei Feng's sincere and trusting words, his eyes immediately felt a little touched.

After the great battle against Han and Zhao, Gongshu Cuo, who was named Lord Pingyang by Wei Feng, felt that his decades of ups and downs in officialdom had come to a happy ending.

In the past two years, although he was the prime minister as the head of hundreds of officials, Gongshu Cuo, who felt that he was old and increasingly wanted to retire, had been working hard to shrink his influence in the Wei court.

If it weren't for a major event like today's that was related to the fate of Wei State, Gongshu Cuo would generally not stand up and express his attitude.

Wei Feng knew very well that Gongshu Cuo did this for his own sake as a monarch, and also for his own plans to withdraw from the Wei court in the future.

If the Qin State was not about to launch a large-scale attack on Hexi, Wei Feng also hoped that his teacher could enjoy his family happiness as soon as possible.

It's just that things didn't go as planned. Facing the menacing Qin State, we could only trouble the old prime minister in front of us.

Wei Feng and Gongshu Cuo looked at each other for a long time, and Gongshu Cuo's slightly older eyes suddenly flashed a look of determination.

Since your Majesty has such trust in my veteran, I will do this for your Majesty and finally complete this important matter for Wei.

After this idea came to Gongshu Cuo's mind, he bowed to Wei Feng in front of him and said, "I, Gongshu Cuo, respectfully obey your orders."

"On behalf of Wei Guo, I would like to thank my teacher."

After helping Uncle Cuo to his feet, Wei Feng sincerely said a title that he had seldom called out since he succeeded to the throne.

When the two of them broke away from the warm atmosphere between teachers and students, and their eyes turned slightly, they were both attracted by the expression on the face of the other person present.

At this moment, Sima Gongsun Qi was facing the gurgling stream in front of him. His face was full of solemn expression, as if he was thinking about something in his heart.

Seeing Gongsun Qi's appearance, Gongshu Cuo bowed to Wei Feng and said, "Your Majesty, if nothing happens, I will leave for now."

"That's alright. You've worked hard today, Teacher Chao Hui. It's better to go back and rest early." Wei Feng heard Gongshu Cuo's words and immediately said with a smile.

It wasn't until Gongshu Cuo's figure slowly disappeared from sight that Wei Feng walked gently to Gongsun Qi's side, stretched out his right hand and patted his shoulder gently.

Wei Feng's gentle tapping brought Gongsun Qi back to reality from his thoughts, and his normally dull eyes gradually regained their usual wisdom.

"I have lost my composure, please punish me."

"It's okay, sir, you don't need to worry about this matter." A trace of curiosity appeared on his face, and Wei Feng said in a deep voice: "I would like to know what you were thinking about just now, and you were so absorbed in it?"

"this……"

When Gongsun Qi heard Wei Feng's question, hesitation appeared on his face at first, but for a moment, a bit of solemnity slowly appeared in his wise eyes.

"Your Majesty, what I have just been thinking about is that it has nothing to do with the war in Hexi, but it is somewhat related, and it has something to do with the war in Hexi, but it is not that big of a connection."

Gongsun Qi's words made Wei Feng more curious. He wanted to know what Gongsun Qi was talking about.

"There are only you and me here. If you have anything to say, please feel free to say it."

After hearing Wei Feng's words, Gongsun Qi pondered for a few breaths, and then slowly gave an unexpected but reasonable answer.

"Tian Qi."

When he heard Tian Qi from Gongsun Qi's mouth, Wei Feng was shocked at first, and then his eyes also became a little solemn.

Regarding Tian Qi, a neighboring country in the east, probably not many people in the current Wei State except Wei Feng would notice the danger he may bring.

This is not to say that the Qi State today is not strong. In fact, in terms of national strength, Tian Qi, who succeeded the Jiang family, is still above the Qin State.

However, after the Tian family won the throne of the Jiang family, there was always internal turmoil and even Tian Wu killed his brother to seize the throne, which directly led to Tian Qi's successive defeats in foreign wars.

Lu State, Wei State, Yan State, Zhao State...

Almost all of these countries bordering Tian Qi had wars with him in the past, and these wars often ended in Tian Qi's defeat.

It can be said that at this time, Tian Qi was not the Eastern Emperor of the Warring States Period who would be known as the Qin State decades later. He was more like a young man who had just inherited a rich family fortune.

Possessing coveted wealth, but not enough force to protect it.

Pulling his thoughts from Tian Qi's current situation back to reality, Wei Feng looked at Gongsun Qi in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Sir, what you mean is that Tian Qi is very likely to take advantage of the war between Wei and Qin...

…”

"Your Majesty, although there is no news of the Qi army's mobilization coming back from the border, I think that our country, Wei, should make preparations in advance to prevent unexpected events." Before Wei Feng could finish his words, Gongsun Qi immediately sank.

said the voice.

"What you said is absolutely true." After thinking for a while, Wei Feng said in a deep voice: "I ordered Gongsun Cuo to lead 30,000 elite men to Daliang secretly to prevent Qi from raiding. What do you think, sir?"

"Your Majesty is wise."
