"Woooooooo..."

A long sound of trumpets sounded outside the Wei Guan City.

Soon after, accompanied by a burst of hurried footsteps, the Wei army guard wearing red armor quickly climbed to the top of the city to watch.

"General!"

After briefly signaling with his eyes to the deputy general who came here first, the Wei army guard looked outside the city wall.

Looking around, the empty plains outside the city have now been replaced by square formations with strict formations.

The faint light emitted by the sharp weapons, the fighting spirit in the eyes of the elite soldiers, and the straight-line flag fluttering high in the wind.

Taking in the scene in front of him, the Wei army guard felt a huge pressure coming on his face, and his face suddenly became very ugly.

While his eyes were slowly closed, his right hand was held in one place with all his strength. As the veins on the back of his hand were exposed, the Wei army guard began to think rapidly in his mind.

After a long time passed, the Wei army guard general slowly opened his eyes, and then moved his gaze to the deputy general beside him.

"Have you sent anyone to report the Qi army's movements to Daliang?"

"Don't worry, general." After a solemn military salute, the deputy general reported in a deep voice: "After the general issued the order yesterday, the general sent dozens of messengers in various directions. I believe there will always be some among them who are interested in the general.

Sent to Daliang."

"good."

After listening to what the deputy general said, the Wei army guard responded softly, but a look of relief flashed in his eyes.

The clenched right hand was slowly released, and the other left hand slowly touched the hilt of the sword hanging at the waist.

When a somewhat cold touch came from the palm of his left hand, looking at the menacing Qi army outside the city, a firm look slowly appeared in the eyes of the Wei army guard.

"Dong dong dong..."

When the passionate sound of war drums rang in his ears, the defender understood that this was the signal for the Qi army to attack the city. The firmness in his eyes quickly turned into a strong fighting spirit.

"Send my order to the general, and all the soldiers in the army are ready..."

"Fight the powerful enemy!"

…

Wei State, Daliang.

"Report..."

"Urgent report from the city..."

When a loud and anxious voice sounded in his ears, Gongsun Cuo, who was in a hall, turned away from two Wei generals and quickly looked away from the map in front of him.

But when Gongsun Cuo and Zhai Liang looked at the visitor, the figure that appeared in front of them made them suddenly stunned.

I saw the Wei army messenger in front of the two men. The light armor on his body was already mottled, and the look on his face was already full of exhaustion.

When his eyes noticed the hands he was presenting the battle report at this moment, Gongsun Cuo's right hand that was about to receive the battle report suddenly stopped.

The next moment, Gongsun Cuo immediately took the battle report from the hand of the messenger with both hands, and there was a touch of respect on his face.

"Thanks a lot."

"The villain doesn't have to work hard, but the military situation in the city is urgent, and the villain dare not neglect it."

Seeing the solemn look on the other person's face, Gongsun Cuo was greatly touched in his heart and nodded to him solemnly.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. You can go down and rest first."

"Here."

As he watched the figure of the messenger slowly disappear from sight, Gongsun Cuo straightened his figure, and a chilling aura appeared in his eyes.

Following the movements of his hands, Gongsun Cuo began to quickly scan the battle report, and the more he looked at it, the darker the expression on his face became.

After a while, Gongsun Cuo strode back to the map after handing the battle report in his hand to General Zhai Kai.

Looking closely at the city named Guan in the eastern part of the Wei Kingdom, Gongsun Cuo's eyes quickly aroused a trace of fighting spirit.

"While our army is fighting fiercely with the Qin State in the west of Hexi, he led 80,000 elite troops to attack the east of Wei Dynasty. Qi State's plan is really clever."

After Gongsun Cuo's sarcastic emotion came to an end, Zhai Kai, who had quickly read the battle report, came to his side.

"Guancheng is an important place for Wei to control Qi and Wei. Its importance is self-evident."

After taking a look at the map in front of him, Zhai Kai's eyes immediately turned to Gongsun Cuo, "Thanks to the general's preparation in advance, he ordered 10,000 elite troops to garrison the city to watch, otherwise our army would have been passive at this moment."

"With 10,000 elite garrison and the strong defense of Guan City, it will not be difficult for the general to resist the Qi army for some time."

After listening to Zhai Kai's words, Gongsun Cuo nodded slightly, and then slowly walked to the map.

His right hand first landed on Guancheng in the east, and then Gongsun Cuo said in a deep voice: "Guancheng is not the ultimate goal of the Qi army."

"For decades, in the wars between Wei State and Qi State, Qi State has often lost more than won. It is precisely for this reason that Qi State has been very cautious over the years and rarely provokes conflicts between the two countries.

war."

"The reason why the Qi State dared to send out a large army to attack the Wei State this time is simply because they saw the Wei State fighting Qin State in Hexi and thought that the army would be transferred to the west and Wei would be empty in the east."

"Now that Qi has made up its mind, its plan is definitely not just to watch the city..."

Halfway through his words, Gongsun Cuo's right hand slowly moved a few points to the west, and finally landed on a city.

"Puyang?"

Hearing the half-surprised, half-puzzled voice in his ears, Gongsun Zuo nodded gently, and a solemn look slowly appeared in his eyes.

The reason why Puyang is so important is that it is the capital of Weiguo.

As a prince that existed in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty, and as an important pillar of the Pingfan Zhou Dynasty, Weiguo had a status comparable to Qi and Jin in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Although due to a series of reasons such as the decline of the Zhou Dynasty and internal turmoil, Weiguo gradually became a second-rate small country, its geographical location controlling the Central Plains cannot be underestimated.

If it captures Puyang and takes control of Wei State, then Qi can advance westward to compete with Wei for dominance of the Central Plains, and retreat can use Wei State as a barrier to resist Wei's possible attack.

In Gongsun Cuo's view, this may be the real purpose of Qi's sending troops, but he will not let Qi's plan easily become reality.

"General Zhai Kai."

After pondering for a moment, a call appeared in the main hall.

"The end will be here."

Looking at the extremely solemn Zhai Kai next to him, he heard Gongsun Cuo say in a deep voice: "Pass my general's order, and all the soldiers in the army will be on standby at any time, ready to fight."

"In addition, I will write a battle report immediately and ask the general to send someone to Anyi. I must let you know the movements of the Qi army and the situation in Wei Dong."

"General, I will obey military orders."

…

"Drive... drive... drive..."

Accompanied by a rapid sound of urging, a war horse moved its powerful limbs and quickly rushed into the city gate of Daliang, Wei State.

Cross the river, pass through Zhiguan, and gallop on the land east of the river...

After a long journey, the messenger quickly appeared outside the city of Anyi, the capital of Wei State, carrying the battle report written by Gongsun Cuo himself.

"Report..."

"Your Majesty, a battle report has been sent to Daliang."

Sitting on the throne, Wei Feng, the Marquis of Wei, slowly unfolded the battle report, and then a loud noise appeared in the hall.

"boom……"
