"Your Majesty, Qin Dong has sent a report."

In the State of Wei, the capital is Anyi, among the palaces.

In the back hall, Wei Feng, the Marquis of Wei, and Sun Qi, the Prime Minister, were sitting on both sides of a table, talking about the government affairs in the court in recent days.

The report suddenly sounded outside the main hall, but it disrupted the conversation between the two. As the prime minister, Gongsun Qi took the initiative to stop speaking at this moment.

Glancing at Gongsun Qi who was silent opposite him, Wei Feng's eyes immediately turned to the direction of the palace door, and a calm voice rang out in the back hall.

"come in."

"Here."

Following Wei Feng's order in the palace, the visitor bowed and quickly came to him with a silk book in hand.

After a moment, Wei Feng stretched out his right hand and took the report from the other party's hand. At the same time, his words rang in the visitor's ears.

"Thank you for your hard work, go down and rest first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

With the footsteps getting further and further away from his ears, and with the hall becoming calm again, Wei Feng slowly unfolded the silk book in his hand and started reading.

At first, when the seal characters written one by one came into view, Wei Feng's face clearly showed a bit of astonishment.

However, this shock did not last long on his face, and was soon replaced by an upward curve at the corner of Wei Feng's mouth.

Finally, after reading the entire report from Qin Dong and understanding the entire story, Wei Feng's eyes were already filled with smiles.

"This Gongsun Yang..."

A meaningful sigh sounded in the apse, but Wei Feng's thoughts were brought back to his previous life by this report from Qin Dong.

Once upon a time, he was so dismissive of Gongsun Yang's move to move trees and establish trust in Yueyang, the capital of Qin, that he even treated him as a joke to entertain those close to him.

However, it was also after the uprising in the previous life that the Qin State initiated a completely reborn reform, and its national power flourished with the promulgation of decrees one after another.

When he gradually calmed down after repeated failures and began to think about the rise of Qin from the beginning, he finally understood how wrong his original thinking was.

He also wanted to cheer up and make Wei strong again, but faced with the increasingly complex situation around him and the two powerful enemies of Qin and Qi that were gradually rising, he could only watch Wei gradually decline with regret and helplessness.

.

Now that the same place and almost the same events were presented to him again through the report in his hand, Wei Feng's mood was a bit complicated.

I don't know how much time passed before Wei Feng gently put down the report in his hand, but his eyes revealed complicated emotions.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Just after Wei Feng was immersed in his heart for a long time because of this report from Qin Dong, Prime Minister Gongsun Qi from across the way, who noticed something was wrong with his expression, issued a call.

The sounds in his ears awoke Wei Feng from his thoughts, and his eyes slowly returned to calm, and then he looked at Gongsun Qi in front of him.

"Xiangguo, why are you calling me?"

"Your Majesty..." Recalling the expression on Wei Feng's face just now, Gongsun Qi's words contained a bit of hesitation, "Your Majesty, is there something on your mind?"

Facing Gongsun Qi's question, Wei Feng didn't know how to answer. The thoughts he just had were definitely secrets that he wanted to bury deep in his heart and did not dare to confide in anyone.

At this moment, because of Gongsun Qi's question and Wei Feng's silence, the atmosphere in the back hall immediately became a little silent.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I shouldn't have asked you just now."

After saying apologetic words, Gongsun Qi quickly directed their attention elsewhere.

"I just saw a smile on Your Majesty's face after reading the report. But what is unusual about the report sent back by Qin Dong?"

"Exactly."

At this moment, Wei Feng had also come out of the complicated mood just now. He looked at Gongsun Qi opposite him with a smile on his face, and handed the report to him with his right hand.

"Please see, Prime Minister, our magistrate of Yueyang County has done great things under his rule."

"oh!"

Hearing Wei Feng talking about Gongsun Yang with full praise, Gongsun Qi, who was also impressed by him, took the report from Wei Feng's hands with some curiosity.

When the contents of the report came into view, his mood changed from the initial shock to the later relief, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty!"

His eyes met with Wei Feng's opposite, and Gongsun Qi said with some solemnity: "I think that although Gongsun Yang's actions this time imitated Wu Qi's old deeds, they are undoubtedly in line with the current reality of Qindong."

The old story about Wu Qi mentioned by Gongsun Qi was exactly what happened when Wu Qi took office as the governor of Xihe County. Later generations would call this incident "Wu Qi's attack on the pavilion".

The reason why Wei Wenhou Wei of Wei appointed Wu Qi as the governor of Xihe County was because he wanted to use him to resist the Qin offensive in the west and firmly guard Hexi, Wei's bridgehead to the west.

Wu Qi came to Hexi and after some inspections, he discovered that the guard posts set up by the Qin army on the border posed a great threat to Wei's farmland in Hexi.

However, although this threat existed, it was not worth sending a large army to attack, so after much thought, he came up with such a solution.

He first ordered someone to place a chariot shaft against the north gate, and then issued an order that if anyone could move the chariot shaft to the south gate, he would be given a high-quality house and land;

Later, someone fulfilled the request under the temptation of this generous reward, and Wu Qi fulfilled his promise.

Once again he placed a stone of red beans at the east gate, asked others to move him to the west gate, and gave him the same reward as last time.

This time Wu Qi's order was executed even faster than the last time, and he also fulfilled his promise.

The third time Wu Qi ordered to capture Qin's post, and the first one to capture it would be rewarded with the title of a state official.

After the last two experiences, the Wei people rushed to attack the post and captured it in just a short time.

Wu Qi's attack on the pavilion and his move to Lixin were two events that happened at different times, but they are undoubtedly very similar.

Under heavy rewards, there must be brave men.

First use generous rewards to attract people to complete relatively simple tasks, and then give them generous rewards. The credibility of Wu Qi, Gongsun Yang, and even the Wei State was established in these step-by-step actions.

In the future, if the Wei State gives a more difficult task and promises generous rewards that match it, then those who have witnessed it with their own eyes will definitely rush to go.

With this action in Hexi, Wu Qi not only eliminated the threat in front of him, but also left a deep impression on the hearts of Li Shu in Hexi.

In the subsequent battle between Yin and Jin, the reason why the Wei soldiers, whose troops were far smaller than the Qin army, dared to attack the huge Qin army formation was because the generous rewards Wu Qi promised and was believed to be able to be fulfilled definitely played an important part in it.

.

And this is what Gongsun Yang hopes the people of Qin Dong can believe.
