After the alliance ceremony that day, the princes, who were either satisfied or unwilling, left Pinglu under the protection of their respective armies.

Because of the armistice conditions reached with Qi during the alliance, Wei needed to return Pinglu, one of the five capitals of Qi, that it occupied;

Therefore, Wei Feng, the leader of the alliance, also took Prime Minister Gongshu Cuo, Sima Gongsun Qi and a group of Wei army soldiers to leave the city that had returned to Qi's hands.

The army returned along the direction of the attack a few months ago. After marching continuously for ten days, the chariot that the Marquis of Wei was riding in stopped at one place.

The name of this place is Maling.

At this moment, Wei Feng, closely guarded by more than a dozen Wei army guards, arrived on a high slope near Maling.

First, he looked at the temporary camp set up by the Wei army not far away, and then Wei Feng's eyes moved to the winding terrain on the other side.

After staring quietly for a long time, Wei Feng slowly withdrew his gaze and slowly extended his index finger with his right hand to point forward.

"If our Wei army were to fight an invading enemy here, and Sima Lai was the commander-in-chief, how would Sima deal with the enemy?"

Facing Wei Feng, who was obviously in a bad mood today, Sima Gong Sun Qi, who had been standing beside him, never said a word.

Now, when Wei Feng's question appeared in his ears, his eyes full of sharp light swept across the expected battlefield in front of him, and a plan had already appeared in Gongsun Qi's mind.

"Reporting to your Majesty, I believe that the complex terrain here is a natural place to set up an ambush."

"If we can ambush an ambush here, and then use elite light cavalry to lure the enemy deeper, we will definitely be able to defeat them here..."

"Hahaha……"

Before Gongsun Qi finished speaking, a sound of laughter slowly emerged, but there was a hint of bitterness in the laughter coming from beside him.

In the previous life, the Wei army and the Qi army also fought on this battlefield, but it was the Qi army that set up an ambush, but it was the Wei army that drove straight in, and was ultimately defeated and returned.

The cold seal characters on the battle report of the previous life, the news that his son Wei Shen, general Pang Juan died in Maling, and the bad news that the entire army of 100,000 troops was destroyed...

As the memories of the past reappeared in his mind, Wei Feng couldn't help but have a look of sadness on his face.

In the previous life, it was the battle that took place ahead that caused Wei to fall back from its original position as the hegemon of the world.

Now when Wei Feng sets foot on this land again, the rather complicated emotions in his heart are still difficult to let go.

Time passed by minute by second, and it was not until a long time later that Wei Feng slowly said to Gongsun Qi beside him: "Sima, how have you performed since you succeeded to the throne?"

"Your Majesty first sent a large army to fight against Zhao and South Korea, and conquered both countries with great victories;"

"Then he used the main force of the Wei army to defeat Qin in the west, and united with the princes of the six countries to severely damage Qi."

"When Marquis Wu passed away, what was left to you was a Wei State that was about to fall apart and was surrounded by crises;"

"But now your Majesty has in your hands a Wei State whose reputation is growing day by day, and the princes of the world dare not offend it."

After summarizing Wei Feng's achievements over the years in a few simple words, Gongsun Qi immediately bowed forward and bowed.

"I believe that your performance since taking over the throne is not inferior to that of the founding monarch of Wei, Marquis Wen."

"Sima is overly praised, but I don't dare to compare with Marquis Wen."

A smile flashed across his face. Looking at Ma Ling in front of him, Wei Feng's eyes gradually became far-reaching.

"At the time of Marquis Wen, the Wei State first led an army to attack Qin State with Wu Qi as general and occupied a large area of ​​Hexi. Later, with Zhai Jiao as general, the troops of the three Jin Dynasties attacked the Great Wall of Qi State and captured Qi Kanggong who was in power at that time.

.”

"Although I have won consecutive battles since I succeeded to the throne, compared with the glorious record during the time of Marquis Wen, it is still far behind."

After Wei Feng compared his achievements since he succeeded to the throne with his grandfather Wei Wenhou, the expression in his eyes changed and the topic in his mouth suddenly changed.

"What's more, Marquis Wen's achievements, in addition to foreign campaigns, include his appointment of talented people such as Li Kui and Zhai Huang to actively promote reforms in the country of Wei."

"It is precisely because of this profound reform that our country Wei was able to stand out from the three Jins and become one of the few powerful countries in the world."

"Sima, I want to imitate my ancestors. I wonder what Sima wants?"

Wei Feng had reached this point in his words, how could Gongsun Qi on the side still not understand what he wanted to express.

In fact, Gongsun Qi fully agreed with Wei Feng's plan to launch the second round of reforms in Wei State.

Now Zhao and South Korea are already allies of Wei, Qin and Qi have just been severely damaged by Wei, and even Chu has chosen to move eastward to avoid Wei's attack.

It can be said that the predicament of Wei State, which was originally in the land of four wars, has been greatly alleviated, and the external peaceful environment has also been greatly guaranteed.

This also means that at least for a long time in the future, Wei no longer has to worry about external threats and can concentrate on the second round of domestic reforms that are about to begin.

This was the first reason why Gongsun Qi supported Wei Feng in launching the second round of reforms.

In fact, Gongsun Qi's response to Wei Feng just now was not just a compliment, but Wei Feng's performance since he succeeded to the throne is indeed good.

Through victory in foreign wars, Wei Feng gained an extraordinary reputation in the court, among the army, and even among the common people.

This is undoubtedly very beneficial to the second round of reforms that Wei is about to implement. This is the second reason why Gongsun Qi supports Wei Feng in launching the second round of reforms.

Through what he saw and heard after serving as Sima for several years, Gongsun Qi knew very well that the current Wei State was indeed very powerful on the surface, but some problems inevitably occurred.

If these problems are left unresolved, the powerful Wei State will be destroyed by the surging flood like a dam being eaten by ants.

Ever since he was invited by Wei Feng to serve in the Wei State again a few years ago, Gongsun Qi has been devoting all his energy to the Wei State.

In order to repay Wei Feng's courtesy and to prevent his hard work from being in vain, Gongsun Qi would never watch the fall of Wei.

This is the third reason why Gongsun Qi supported Wei Feng in implementing the second round of reforms.

While thoughts were swirling in his mind, Gongsun Qi slowly came to Wei Feng and bowed to him.

"As long as your Majesty has an order, I will follow it to the death."

Looking at Gongsun Qi in front of him, a look of satisfaction flashed through Wei Feng's eyes. Then his eyes turned to the west, and a figure in white appeared in front of him.

Now that there are important ministers sitting in the court, where are the talents who are responsible for the reform?
