"Sir, please."

"Sir, please."

Two voices sounded in the room. After bowing to each other, Ying Quliang and Zheng Sheng each drank the wine.

After a few breaths, accompanied by the dull sound of a wine baron falling on several tables, Ying Quliang's eyes fell on Zheng Sheng's face opposite.

"Although our Qin State is not in danger of overthrow this time, I still hold a grudge against the Shaoliang War in my heart. One hundred thousand Qin State troops are no match for the 60,000 Wei Army troops, so they can only flee in confusion when the battle is unfavorable."

"May I ask, sir, if the Wei army is so powerful, how should Qin respond?"

"Twenty-four years ago, in the Battle of Yin and Jin, Wei soldiers defeated the Qin army several times larger than themselves with 50,000 soldiers in the first battle; now in the Battle of Shaoliang, Wei soldiers also suffered heavy losses with 60,000 soldiers.

defeated Qin’s 100,000-strong army.”

"Judging from the two battles between Qin and Wei alone, the powerful combat power of Wei soldiers is indeed not something that the Qin army can shake today."

"only……"

After briefly analyzing the powerful combat prowess of Wei Wuzu for Ying Quliang in calm words, Zheng Sheng couldn't help but sigh a little.

"It's just that the world has only seen the powerful combat prowess of Wei's soldiers, but they have not seen that what is supporting it is the powerful strength of Wei that attracts the attention of the world."

As the voice slowly fell, Zheng Sheng, who was thoughtful, raised the wine jug filled with fine wine, and immediately drank another jug ​​of fine wine.

Opposite Ying Quliang heard Zheng Sheng's sigh, and his eyes immediately showed a look of interest, "Sir, please tell me in detail."

"Since the young master requests this, I have no choice but to obey."

After answering softly, as the wine prince once again settled on several cases, Zheng Sheng narrated the whole story of the establishment of Wei Wuzu.

It is said that the founder of Wei Wuzu was Wu Qi, who was revered as a military strategist and sub-sage by later generations, but when it comes to laying the material foundation for the establishment of Wei Wuzu, another person has to be mentioned.

This person is none other than the actual executor of the former Wei State Reform, Wei State Prime Minister Li Kui.

It was under the auspices of Li Kui, who had the trust of Wei Wenhou, that the Wei State completed the earliest reform in the Warring States Period.

Through this reform, which later generations called "Li Kui's Reform", Wei's national power developed by leaps and bounds, becoming the top power in the world.

It was precisely because of Li Kui's reform that the Wei State had enough financial and military resources to support Wei Wuzu, an elite and powerful army known throughout the world.

You must know that what guarantees the strong combat power of Wei soldiers is not only their extraordinary physical strength and sophisticated equipment that is armed to the teeth, but also what can be called extremely generous treatment.

In the room, although Zheng Sheng had finished speaking for a long time, Ying Quliang still had an expression of admiration on his face.

Given the most generous treatment and no worries at all, how can such soldiers not fight bravely to kill the enemy on the battlefield?

How can an elite army composed of such soldiers not be unfavorable when encountering an opponent on the battlefield?

As time passed by, the admiration in Ying Quliang's eyes gradually turned into a look of determination.

"May I ask, sir, if our country, Qin, can also have such an elite force?"

After pondering for a long time in front of Ying Quliang's firm expression, he heard Zheng Sheng say slowly: "Sir, I think that the Qin State can have such an elite force, and the conditions that the Qin State has are even more superior than those of the Wei State.

.”

If he heard the first half of Zheng Sheng's words, the expression on Ying Quliang's face was just joy; when the second half of Zheng Sheng's words rang in his ears, his face was already full of excitement.

"Please sir, please give me some advice."

"Although I have not been in Qin for a long time, I can also see that the combat power of Qin soldiers is equally impressive."

"If they can imitate the soldiers of Wei, equip them with well-equipped weapons and armor and provide generous treatment, so that they have no worries, this new army of Qin may be able to compete with the soldiers of Wei."

After expressing his views on Qin's new army, Zheng Sheng stopped speaking and looked at Ying Quliang in front of him with burning eyes.

"It's just that there is a premise for all of this, that is, the Qin State can have enough material and financial resources to support this elite Qin State's new army."

When Zheng Sheng proposed this premise, the excitement in Ying Quliang's heart turned into solemnity in an instant.

After understanding the generous treatment of Wei Wuzu, Ying Quliang knew that the current Qin State did not have such a solid national power even after twenty years of hard work by his father-in-law Ying Shixi.

He didn't say a word and pondered for a long time. The unforgettable defeat in the Battle of Shaoliang and Zheng Sheng's words about Li Kui's reform were always lingering in Ying Quliang's mind.

I don't know how much time passed, but Ying Quliang looked at Zheng Sheng opposite and said slowly, "Ying Quliang intends to change the law to become stronger and prosper the Qin Kingdom. I wonder if you, sir, are willing to help me?"

"Your Majesty, please obey your orders."

…

Weiguo, Puyang, in the main tent of the coalition forces.

"Report..."

"Reporting to the two generals, a battle report has been sent to the front line of Guancheng."

After listening to the report from the ordering soldier in front of him, he took the battle report from the opponent's hand. As the deputy general, Gongsun Cuo quickly unfolded it and browsed it.

After a few breaths, Gongsun Cuo handed the battle report to the general Gongsun Qi, but there was a solemn look in his eyes.

"General, the 80,000 Qi troops attacking Guan City have not attacked the city for many days. It seems that the news sent back from Qi State by Xiao Zuo is accurate."

"The State of Qi has indeed sent another 20,000 troops to the front line. The 80,000 Qi troops outside Guancheng are preparing to wait for the arrival of the 20,000 troops before concentrating all their efforts to launch a more violent offensive against our army."

While listening to the analysis of the deputy general Gongsun Cuo beside him, he slowly finished reading the content of the battle report in his hand. As the commander-in-chief, Gongsun Qi then moved his eyes to the map in front of him.

Looking at Guancheng, which was the focus of competition between the coalition forces and the Qi army at this moment, Gongsun Qi's thoughts were running rapidly in his mind.

After a moment of silence, Gongsun Qi's voice rang out from the main tent, "It's time to give up watching the city and withdraw the army."

"General, we can't withdraw."

As the commander-in-chief of the Wei army in the early stage of the Wei Dong battlefield, Gongsun Cuo gave the order to send out a large army to garrison the city in advance.

Now the two armies have been fighting for a long time around Guancheng. At this moment, the general Gongsun Qi ordered the withdrawal of the army. How could Gongsun Cuo, the deputy general, be willing?

"General, Guancheng is an important place for Wei to control Qi and guard. Our army and Qi army have been fighting for a long time. We cannot give up so easily."

"General Gongsun, as a general of an army, what you should focus on is not the gains and losses of one city or one place, but how to act from the perspective of the overall situation."

After admonishing the deputy general Gongsun Cuo as the commander-in-chief, the commander-in-chief Gongsun Qi began to make a detailed analysis based on the current battlefield situation.

"Previously, the reason why our army stuck to Guan City was to buy time for the coalition forces to gather. Now the coalition forces have assembled in Puyang, and reinforcements from Qi are about to arrive."

"If that's the case, then why don't our army simply give up on the city view? It can better reduce the strength of the troops and at the same time, it can also play a role in lengthening the Qi army's front line."
