Gongsun Jia took the battle report from the front line from Wei Feng and slowly unfolded it with a somewhat tangled mood.

He knew very well that the good news that made Wei Feng so happy might not be good news for Qin, Wei's opponent.

The fact was just as Gongsun Jia expected. After a quick glance, the expression on his face immediately darkened.

What was recorded in this victory report of the Wei army from the Hexi front line was the Battle of Yuanli that ended just a few days ago.

After several months of siege, Wei general Pang Juan led the Wei army to finally recapture Qin's last city east of Luoshui, Yuanli City.

The Qin army suffered heavy losses in this battle.

Not only did the leader of the Qin army, Zhang Yu, die for his country, but even the two armies of Ying Qian and Shu Changguo who broke out were not spared.

After a fierce battle with the Wei army arranged in advance by Pang Juan, the two men each led thousands of soldiers and fled to the west of Luoshui.

After this battle, Wei State had completely won the Battle of Hexi.

Next, after resting, Pang Juan's army will cross eastward to Luoshui and capture Pinyang City, another important town of Qin to the west of Luoshui.

In addition to Xiagui, which had been captured by Long Jia's army before, the Wei army was already attacking Qin like a giant pincer, and the target of this giant pincer was the current capital of Qin, Yueyang.

Looking at the good news from the Hexi front line in his hand, Gongsun Jia, the envoy of the Qin State, was speechless for a long time. He had already seen that a big war might be coming to the Qin State.

That is to say, when Gongsun Jia was frowning deeply, Wei Feng, who was watching his expression from the side, had an undetectable smile in his eyes.

"I wonder what Ambassador Qin wants to say at this moment?"

Wei Feng's voice pulled Gongsun Jia out of his thoughts, and he quickly bowed to the front with some apology.

"I ask the Marquis of Wei to forgive me for being rude to a foreign minister."

After standing up, facing Wei Feng's gaze towards him, a difficult expression flashed across Gongsun Jia's face, "Since the war has reached this point, the foreign ministers have nothing to say. Our Qin State's combat power is indeed not as good as that of Wei State.

.”

"Before coming, your Majesty informed the foreign ministers. If the Marquis of Wei really intends to call off the war with our Qin State, our Qin State is willing to..."

Halfway through his words, Gongsun Jia suddenly stopped, and a look of determination slowly appeared in his eyes.

"We, the State of Qin, are willing to cede Hangu Pass, the land of Shangluo, and the land west of the Luoshui River and east of the Ju River to the State of Wei. I also ask the Marquis of Wei to seriously consider it."

After Gongsun Jia finished speaking, Wei Feng seemed to be really thinking, and the hall fell into silence for a while.

However, after a long time, Wei Feng looked forward with a solemn expression, "I am not satisfied with the conditions proposed by Qin State."

"I also ask the envoy of Qin to think carefully about it. Our Wei State's army of more than 100,000 people is about to cross the Ju River, and the land east of the Ju River will soon be included in the territory of our Wei State. Is this condition too low?"

After saying these words, Wei Feng stopped caring about Gongsun Jia and just walked slowly towards his throne.

When he had just stepped onto the steps in front, Gongsun Jia's voice came from behind him.

"This matter is of great importance, and it is no longer for the foreign minister to decide. I also ask the Marquis of Wei to wait for a few days, and the foreign minister will write a letter to return home immediately."

Turning around quickly, Wei Feng looked down at Gongsun Jia with a smile on his face, "I am waiting for the Qin envoy's reply."

"The foreign minister takes his leave."

Seeing the figure disappearing in front of him, and listening to the footsteps getting further and further away from his ears, the cheerful smile on Wei Feng's face became brighter and brighter.

…

After the court meeting, the Wei courtiers left in twos and threes, while Wei Feng walked slowly between the palaces.

Just at this moment, with the sound of footsteps ringing in his ears, a palace official appeared in front of Wei Feng.

"I am reporting this to you, your Majesty. I am asking for an audience by mistake."

Hearing the news, Wei Feng's heart was moved. Why did Wang Cuo ask for a meeting at this time?

After suppressing the doubt in his mind, Wei Feng ordered the palace servant in front of him: "Invite him in."

"Here."

After a while, the palace man left and returned, and who was the figure following him if he wasn't Xia Qing Wang Cuo?

"My king is wrong. I pay my respects to you, your Majesty."

"Your Excellency, you don't have to be polite." He stretched out his right hand to support him, and then heard Wei Feng look at Wang Cuo and ask: "I was in the court just now, Your Excellency did not have any words of advice. I don't know if I want to see you at this moment.

What's the matter?"

Hearing Wei Feng's question, thoughts appeared on Wang Cuo's face, and then he took a step forward.

"Your Majesty, do you have the intention to destroy Qin?"

When Wang Cuo asked this question, Wei Feng couldn't help but feel aroused in his heart.

After a moment, he slowly calmed down and heard Wei Feng ask Wang Cuo: "If I have the intention to destroy Qin, what will happen to you? If I don't have the intention to destroy Qin, what will happen to you?"

Wang Cuo's head was slowly raised, and his eyes were connected with the doubtful gaze cast by Wei Feng from the opposite side, and a solemn look appeared in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, although our country Wei is now the most powerful country in the world, it is located in a place where there are four wars."

"If our Wei State can form a good alliance with the princes like Wen Hou did at that time, then everything will be in peace; if it is like Wu Hou did at that time, it is very likely to fall into the dilemma of fighting on multiple fronts."

"To solve this dilemma, our country, Wei, can only take two paths."

"First, unite the three Jins and use powerful force to deter the princes from all directions; second, expand the borders and select one of the four princes to devour its territory."

After Wei Feng heard Wang Cuo's words, his face immediately showed a bit of solemnity, "According to my opinion, the first way mentioned by Xia Qing can only provide temporary relief, and the second way can completely solve the problem of our Wei State."

dilemma."

"If I am not mistaken, the second path I want to take is the second way. As for the princes to be annihilated, it should be Qin, right?"

"To be honest with you, I do support Wei State in annexing Qin State." After expressing his thoughts, Wang Cuo suddenly changed the subject, "But this is not the time for Wei State to annex Qin State.

.”

After hearing Wang Cuo's words, Wei Feng had some enlightenment in his heart, but he still asked: "Why?"

"I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, because our State of Wei is not strong enough, and our State of Qin is not weak enough."

"Your Majesty, now our Wei State is about to unite Chu, Zhao, South Korea and other six countries to attack Qi State. If these princes unite to attack our Wei State at this moment, are you sure of victory?"

"Although Qin State suffered heavy losses in the Hexi War, if it really uses all its strength to resist our Wei army, are you sure of winning easily?"

After Wang Cuo asked these two questions, Wei Feng completely understood what the other party meant after some thinking.

With Wei's current national strength, it is still too early to destroy Qin in one battle.

Not to mention whether it has the strength to cope with the powerful force formed by the alliance of princes, but with all the power Qin can now gather, Wei may not be able to easily win.

There was a hint of solemnity in Wang Cuo's eyes, and Wei Feng said with some calmness: "Don't worry, your Majesty, I know this matter well."
