Chapter 123: Getting furious

"boom……"

As a loud noise resounded in the main hall, the eyes of the courtiers below were all looking at Wei Feng, the Marquis of Wei, who was sitting on the throne above.

Everyone was wondering, what kind of news could make Wei Feng so furious?

While the officials were thinking, Wei Feng once again picked up the battle report that he had photographed on the previous cases out of anger.

Slowly unfolding the battle report in his hand, which he had just read briefly, Wei Feng tried hard to calm down his mind, and then moved his gaze upwards again.

But as the seal characters on it came into view one by one, Wei Feng's suppressed anger finally turned into a ball of rage and burned.

He gently placed the battle report in his hand on top of the cases and rolled it up with utmost seriousness. Then he saw Wei Feng slowly stand up from the throne holding the scroll in his hand.

Under the gaze of all the Wei officials below, Wei Feng used all his strength to throw the battle report in his hand to the ground.

As another loud noise, several times louder than the previous one, resounded in the hall, and as bamboo shards flew around, all the Wei officials present lowered their heads.

At this moment, they could clearly feel the anger coming from him, and no one dared to touch the blazing flame.

After experiencing a loud noise, the main hall fell into a deep silence in an instant.

This atmosphere lasted for a long time, until Wei Feng's angry voice sounded in the hall, breaking the silence.

"The State of Qi is bullying others too much!"

"While the main force of our Wei army was at war with Qin in Hexi, Qi actually sent 80,000 elite troops to besiege Guancheng."

"It is such a shame and a great disgrace. If we, the State of Wei, do not wash our hands, how can I face the princes of the world?"

Wei Feng's anger exploded in the hall like thunder. Most of the officials below were trembling with fear, fearing that the angry thunder would accidentally fall on their heads.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

That is to say, when most of the officials of the Wei State were cowering, a voice rang out in the hall.

Looking in the direction of the voice, I saw Sima Gongsun Qi slowly getting up from his seat, slowly coming to the front of Wei Feng and bowing.

"Your Majesty, please put aside your thunderous wrath. The top priority of Wei State is how to deal with the 80,000 troops dispatched by Qi State."

After Gongsun Qi said these words, he immediately aroused the approval of the Wei courtiers present. The Prime Minister, Gongshu Cuo, who was sitting at the front of the courtiers, also came to Wei Feng.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I think what Sima said is absolutely correct."

After listening to the words of Gongsun Qi and Gongshu Cuo, the angry look on Wei Feng's face subsided a bit, and then he was seen walking slowly past the cases in front of him.

One step, two steps, three steps...

A moment later, Wei Feng walked down the stairs and came directly in front of Gongsun Qi. At this moment, a solemn look appeared on his face.

"If it weren't for Sima's previous reminder, I would not have secretly sent Gongsun Cuo to lead 30,000 reinforcements to Daliang. Then what our Wei State will face now will be a catastrophe."

"Sima has done great service to me, and even more to the state of Wei. Sima deserves to be worshiped by me."

After saying these heartfelt words, Wei Feng immediately bowed to Gongsun Qi in front of him with great solemnity.

"Your Majesty..."

Seeing Wei Feng like this, Gongsun Qi immediately stepped forward and helped him up. After a moment of emotion, his face was filled with solemnity.

"I have already felt your Majesty's heart. However, I still say the same thing. The top priority of Wei State is still how to respond to Qi State's offensive."

"What Sima said is true." After looking at Gongsun Qi again with some gratitude, Wei Feng's eyes immediately turned to the surrounding Wei court officials, "I wonder if you have any good strategies in mind to deal with this?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Looking in the direction of the sound, he heard Wei Feng say: "Doctor, if you have something to say, please speak up."

"Here."

"Reporting to your Majesty, I heard that with General Pang Juan's great victory in Shaoliang, our army has firmly gained the upper hand on the Hexi front line."

"Since our Wei State has gained an advantage in this battle in Hexi, why not take advantage of the situation to negotiate peace with Qin, so that the Hexi army can reinforce Wei Dong." After the superior officer Duan Qianjie bowed to accept the order, he bowed to Wei Feng.

said the voice.

After Wei Feng listened to Duan Qianjie's suggestion, he did have the idea of ​​​​mobilizing the Hexi army to march eastward, but at this time, a sense of familiarity made him temporarily give up the idea.

The Battle of Guiling, the Battle of Maling...

These two unforgettable battles suddenly reappeared in Wei Feng's mind at this time.

Comparing the scenes of those two wars with this time, the same main frontline forces were victorious, the same Qi army took advantage of the weakness, and the same...

As his thoughts flowed here, a haze appeared on Wei Feng's face. It was obvious that some bad memories were evoked in him at this moment.

However, before Wei Feng could continue to think, a voice appeared beside him, which pulled him back from his thoughts to this hall.

"I report to your Majesty that I think it is absolutely impossible to negotiate peace with Qin at this time."

After finishing his words, facing Wei Feng's gaze towards him, he heard Gongshu Cuo say: "Your Majesty, this Hexi War has lasted for several months, and our Wei State has mobilized a total of more than 100,000 troops. For this purpose

The amount of manpower and material resources consumed is countless.”

"Now that we have finally gained the upper hand, it's time to take advantage of the victory and pursue the attack, and the troops are approaching Yueyang. How can we softly sue for peace at this moment and retreat back to the division?"

As soon as Gongshu Cuo finished speaking, Wang Cuo, who was sitting among the ministers, stood up at this moment.

"The Prime Minister has been responsible for the transportation of grain and baggage for several months, so he is naturally more concerned about the war in Hexi. Didn't the Prime Minister see that the eastern part of Wei State is in danger?"

"Without Gongsun Cuo's 30,000 troops, the situation in Wei Dong would certainly be critical."

"But now there are 30,000 troops sent for reinforcements, plus the original 10,000 defenders of Daliang. With this 40,000 army in hand, it is still possible to resist Qi's 80,000 troops for some time."

After explaining this to Wang Cuo, Gongshu Cuo immediately turned his attention to Wei Feng and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the Hexi army cannot withdraw."

"If we withdraw our troops and negotiate peace with Qin at this time, then the blood shed by our Wei soldiers on the battlefield in Hexi will be in vain, and all the efforts our Wei has made for this Hexi battle will also be in vain."

After Wei Feng listened to Gongshu Cuo's words, he did not express his attitude immediately, but the thoughtful look in his eyes never dissipated for a long time.

At this moment, Wei Feng had a deeper understanding of the predicament that the Wei State was currently in a land of four wars and could be attacked from both sides at any time.

After comparing the two lessons learned from the Battle of Maling and the Battle of Guiling, Wei Feng already had some concerns in his mind.

"I think what the prime minister said is absolutely true. I can never withdraw the troops in Hexi."

A look of solemnity flashed through his eyes, and Wei Feng slowly took off his sword and solemnly handed it into the hands of Wang Cuo, the lower minister who had just advocated withdrawing his troops.

"I would also like to ask your Majesty to go to Hexi on my behalf and deliver this sword to General Pang Juan. I also have something else I would like to ask your Majesty to convey to General Pang Juan."

"After the Hexi War is over, he, Pang Juan, will be the general of our Wei State."
