In the State of Wei, the capital city is Anyi, in the palace of the State of Wei.

In the back hall, Wei Hou Wei Feng was still sitting on the throne, reviewing the volumes of memorials on the desks in front of him.

That is, while the ink pen in his hand kept wandering, a burst of footsteps appeared in front of him, and the person who came was dressed as a palace official.

"I would like to inform you, Your Majesty, to ask for an audience with the Prime Minister?"

When the palace servant's report rang in his ears, the ink pen in Wei Feng's hand trembled, and then he continued to walk on the bamboo slips.

Having just finished processing the memorial in his hand, Wei Feng immediately raised his head and looked at the visitor, with a bit of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Please invite the Prime Minister to come in quickly."

"Here."

The palace servant bowed in response and quickly left the apse. Soon after, under his leadership, Duke Cuo, the Prime Minister of Wei, dressed in a red robe, walked slowly into the palace gate.

Turning his gaze to the throne in front of him and looking at Wei Feng who had stood up at this moment, Gongshu Cuo hurriedly came to Wei Feng.

"Old minister, Gongshu Cuo, I would like to pay my respects to you, Your Majesty." After a voice sounded, Gongshu Cuo was about to bow before him.

"Teacher, there is no need to be polite." Seeing the uncle's behavior, Wei Feng quickly stepped forward and supported him, "Teacher, I am going on a mission to South Korea and the Kingdom of Chu to persuade the Marquis of Han and the King of Chu to join the expedition.

The Qi United Army can be said to have done a great job in hard work."

"As a minister of your Majesty and the Prime Minister of the State of Wei, I should share the worries of your Majesty and work hard for the State of Wei. Your Majesty does not need to talk about hard work anymore."

After some humble words, the conversation between the two of them moved from the pleasantries when they saw each other to the current war in Wei.

"Your Majesty, we have more than 100,000 troops from the Wei State in Hexi, and they have crossed the Jushui River again and are at the foot of Yueyang City, the capital of the Qin State."

"With Pang Juan, Long Jia and other senior generals in charge, our army is stronger than the Qin army in terms of combat strength and numbers. I expect that there will be no suspense about the war against Qin."

"Right now, what I, the State of Wei, want to focus on is the land east of Wei, where the Allied Forces of the Seven Kingdoms jointly attack the State of Qi."

"What the teacher said is absolutely true, and I think so too." After finishing his words, Wei Feng quickly made an invitation gesture, "Teacher, please come with me."

After a few breaths, Wei Feng and Gongshu Cuo arrived at the corner of the back hall one after another. A map recording the situation in Wei Dong was hanging in front of them.

After staring at the map for a moment, Wei Feng slowly stepped forward, his fingers slowly moving between the battlefields.

"Teacher, please see, the war between the Seven Kingdoms and Qi is now divided into three battlefields, namely the north, the south and the center."

"Among them, although the Zhao army in the northern battlefield successively captured Pingshu, Hejian, Lingqiu and other cities in the early stage, the Qi army's defense line along the river was so strong that Zhao army made almost no progress in several major offensives.

"

"Secondly, after capturing Xue, Xiapi, Tan and other southern cities of Qi State, the Chu army has pushed the battle line to Ju City, one of the five capitals of Qi State. Now the two sides are fighting fiercely around Ju City. In a short period of time,

There is almost no possibility of winning or losing."

"So I thought that when the battle against Qi was in an anxious moment, the 130,000 coalition troops in the center should be able to change the situation."

Through the battlefield situation marked on the map and Wei Feng's introduction, Gongshu Cuo already had a deeper understanding of the entire battle against Qi.

"Old minister also thinks that the key to this battle is the middle road." After agreeing with Wei Feng's judgment, Gongshu Cuo immediately asked: "I just returned to Anyi, I wonder how the battle is going in the middle road?"

Faced with Gongshu Cuo's question, Wei Feng slowly left in front of the map and came to the back of the few cases where he had just been sitting.

After rummaging through the slips on several cases, Wei Feng came to Gongshu Cuo with a battle report from the Wei Dong front line, "This is the battle report that Sima sent back from the front line yesterday."

Taking the battle report from Wei Feng's hand, after looking at it for a long time, Gongshu Cuo looked at Wei Feng again with a smile.

After bowing, I heard Gongshu Cuo congratulate Wei Ying: "Old minister, I would like to congratulate you. The situation in the middle road is about to change drastically."

…

"The last general asks to see the general."

In the main tent of the Chinese army in the Qi army camp, when he heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears, the general Tian Shou quickly moved his eyes from the bamboo slips in his hand to the front.

"Come in."

Looking at the lieutenant who slowly walked into the tent after giving his order, Tian Shou's face immediately showed a hint of hope.

"Is there any sign that the coalition forces are going to war?"

When the deputy general heard Tian Shou's question, hesitation first appeared on his face, and then he shook his head deeply with helplessness.

Seeing the deputy general's actions, the hope in Tian Shou's eyes quickly disappeared, and his eyes quickly lowered with a bit of disappointment.

The deputy general moved forward a little in the direction of Tian Shou. The deputy general looked at the disappointed general, but there was also a bit of solemn expression on his face.

In the past month, even though the Qi army sent soldiers to lure and scold them in front of the camp, the coalition soldiers showed no sign of going to war.

Facing the closed and heavily guarded coalition camp, no matter how unwilling the Qi army officers were, they could only stop and look at it, unable to do anything.

At the same time, as the small amount of food and grass in the camp was dwindling day by day, the war situation was also developing bit by bit in the unfavorable direction of the Qi army.

Although the general Tian Shou had previously sent people to the cities in the rear to ask for food and grass, the amount that could be delivered was only enough to last ten days.

Compared with the huge amount of food, grass and baggage required by the army, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a drop in the bucket.

It can be said that if the war continues like this, the Qi army, which is about to run out of food and baggage, will really have no choice but to face the coalition's avoidance of fighting, and retreat from Puyang City with the desire and unwillingness to win.

After being silent for a long time and thinking deeply in his heart, the deputy general took a few steps closer to the general Tian Shou.

"General, now that the coalition forces are unable to avoid fighting, and our army is short of food and grass, I think the general should have made preparations in advance."

"I……"

After hearing the lieutenant's suggestion, Tian Shou looked at him and wanted to say something else, but when the words reached his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Thinking of the difficulties faced by his army now, Tian Shou, who originally advocated a decisive battle with the coalition forces, no longer had the extravagant hope of fighting the coalition forces and changing the direction of the entire war.

"well……"

After thinking about this, and sighing with deep helplessness in his heart, Tian Shou slowly stood up from the main seat.

Just when he was about to issue an order to the deputy general in front of him, a loud voice appeared outside the tent.

"Report..."

This sudden report interrupted the conversation between the two people, and the somewhat depressing atmosphere in the tent immediately changed.

"Come in."

Looking at the personal guard standing in front of him after a few breaths, he heard Tian Shou ask in a cold voice: "What's the matter?"

"General, the coalition forces have sent a letter of war."

When the guard's response sounded in the big tent, Tian Shou and the deputy general looked at each other subconsciously, and a different look appeared in their eyes.

Tian Shou quickly came to the guard with some excitement in his heart. With his trembling hands, Tian Shou took the long-awaited letter of challenge from the other person's hand.

After scanning the letter of war over and over again, a solemn look immediately appeared on Tian Shou's face.

"Pass my general's order..."

"Beat the drum and gather the generals."
