Chapter 132 Above the Court

Hearing the sound of greetings ringing in his ears and looking at the Qin envoy Gongsun Jia who was bowing down below, Wei Hou Wei Feng's face immediately showed an interesting expression.

This moment is exactly like that moment.

Once upon a time, Gongsun Jia, the chief historian of Qin, also stood in the Wei court, but at that time Qin was the victor and Wei was the loser.

The Battle of Luoyin, the Battle of Shimen, the Battle of Shaoliang...

The powerful power of the Qin State, which had been dormant and waiting for 20 years to accumulate national power, shocked Wei Feng, who also sat in the position of Marquis of Wei in his previous life, again and again.

It's just that at that time, Wei's strategic focus had moved eastward. Even if Wei Feng had seen the increasing rise of Qin in the west, it was beyond his reach. The only thing he could do was to build the Great Wall to resist Qin's offensive.

However, because of Wei Feng's existence in this life, Wei's fate was almost reversed 180 degrees.

The Wei State, which did not implement the eastward advance strategy, devoted almost all of its military power to the battlefield against Qin, which also resulted in the Wei State's army advancing vigorously on the battlefield in Hexi.

After regaining all the land west of Hexi, Wei's next goal was to cross the Jushui River and march to the foot of Yueyang City, the current capital of Qin.

Just as news of successes on the Hexi front line were spreading frequently, the familiar yet unfamiliar Qin envoy Gongsun Jia stood in the main hall again, which gave Wei Feng a strange feeling in his heart.

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and Wei Feng asked Gongsun Jia below: "I wonder why the Qin envoy came to my Anyi this time?"

Wei Feng's question rang in his ears, Gongsun Jia immediately turned back and took a silk book from the following waiter.

Holding the silk document in both hands, Gongsun Jia bowed forward and said, "As part of our diplomatic relations, I present to the Marquis of Wei my credentials of the State of Qin."

As soon as Gongsun Jia finished speaking, the Wei Guo ceremony officer standing in the hall immediately stepped forward and took the silk book from his hand.

After a few breaths, Wei Feng slowly unfolded the silk book he took from the ceremony officer, and his eyes moved quickly on it.

"oh!"

After reading the silk book in his hand, a voice of sudden realization appeared in the hall, and Wei Feng's eyes immediately returned to Gongsun Jia below.

"Now I know it clearly. It turns out that the Qin envoy came to Anyi this time to seek peace."

"you……"

Wei Feng's somewhat sinister tone immediately made Gongsun Jia below frown. He could feel the deep ridicule of Wei Feng and even the State of Wei towards Qin.

As a Qin man, Gongsun Jia felt as if a ball of anger was about to burst out from his chest.

But the remaining reason in his heart told Gongsun Jia over and over again that he could not express his anger in the Wei court.

The situation is stronger than the people. Now that Wei's army is about to attack the city, what he has to do is to protect the Qin behind him as much as possible.

After almost spending most of his energy to suppress the anger in his chest, Gongsun Jia directly met Wei Feng's somewhat casual gaze.

"Informing the Marquis of Wei, the foreign ministers came to Wei this time for the purpose of truce between Qin and Wei."

On the throne, seeing that Gongsun Jia's face did not show the slightest displeasure because of his reaction just now, the casualness in Wei Feng's eyes disappeared completely in an instant.

The words I just said were just to get rid of the bad breath from the previous life. Now that the anger in my heart has subsided, it is time to take this Qin envoy seriously.

"A truce?"

After glancing at the credentials in front of him again with doubts, Wei Feng asked Gongsun Jia: "If I remember correctly, the initiator of this Hexi battle is not Wei, but you."

Qin, right?"

"Okay, if your Qin State wants to fight, then I, the Wei State, will accompany you to fight. Why is it that now that your Qin army is retreating steadily on the battlefield, your Qin State wants to call it quits?"

"Fight if you want to fight, stop if you want to stop, where will your Qin State put me, and where will you put our Wei State?"

"If we, the State of Wei, agree to your truce from Qin State, how will the princes of the world view me, and what will they think of me, the State of Wei?"

Wei Feng's series of rhetorical questions were like an intensive offensive, giving Gongsun Jia below no chance to react.

When Wei Feng's voice gradually fell from his ears, Gongsun Jia wanted to say something to refute, but when the words came to his lips, nothing came out.

Looking quietly at Gongsun Jia below, seeing the faint look of confusion on his face, Wei Feng was not prepared to stop his attack just yet.

Putting the silk book aside casually, Wei Feng slowly stood up from his seat and walked step by step to Gongsun Jia.

"At this moment, on the battlefield in Hexi, more than 100,000 elite troops of Wei State are fighting in a bloody battle." His eyes were directly aligned with Gongsun Jia, and Wei Feng continued to ask in a calm tone: "I don't know the Qin envoy, I don't know

What conditions is Qin going to use to make them retreat?"

At this moment, Gongsun Jia only felt that he was being stared at by a wild beast, as if the other party would pounce on him at the next moment and bite his throat with its sharp teeth.

Under the tremendous pressure, cold sweat oozed from his forehead. Gongsun Jia immediately bowed and turned his gaze away from Wei Feng.

"I would like to inform the Marquis of Wei that if the Wei State can withdraw its troops this time and call a truce, our Qin State will recognize that the land west of Hexi is the territory of the Wei State, and our Qin Army will not step even half a step across the Luoshui River."

"In addition, our country, Qin, is willing to donate Hangu Pass and the land of Shangluo to compensate Wei for its losses in the battle of Hexi."

"Hahaha……"

After Gongsun Jia finished speaking, Wei Feng's hearty laughter appeared in the hall, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

After a few breaths, the hearty laughter stopped abruptly, and the expression on Wei Feng's face returned to seriousness in an instant.

"If I remember correctly, Hexi was the territory of Wei before this battle, right? Why do we need Qin to recognize it?"

"Let's talk about Hangu Pass and Shangluo. Now that our Wei army is about to attack Yueyang City, the whole line of Jushui will become our Wei territory. Isn't this piece of land easily accessible?"

As he spoke, Wei Feng's tone became more solemn, and his gaze towards Gongsun Jia became colder, "Don't the envoys of Qin feel that Qin's conditions are really not enough to persuade Wei to withdraw its troops?"

Just after Wei Feng answered the question, a burst of footsteps appeared outside the hall, and together with it there was a loud report.

"Report..."

"Your Majesty, General Pang Juan on the Hexi front has received a report of his success."

After hearing the news, Wei Feng no longer paid attention to Gongsun Jia, but strode towards the messenger.

He took the good news from the opponent and unfolded it quickly. Wei Feng's eyes quickly scanned it, and a smile immediately appeared in his eyes.

"color!"

After cheering, Wei Feng put down the good news in his hand and walked back to Gongsun Jia.

He handed the good news in his hand to Gongsun Jia, "Envoy Qin might as well take a look at this good news from the front line first."
