After eight years of silence, Wei once again raised its voice to the world, and this time it was earth-shattering.

In just a few months, with just two important ministers traveling among the countries, Wei State had already set up a large network around Qi State.

At this moment, Qi State was like a big fish caught in this big net. Although it was panicking, it had nowhere to escape.

As the number of troops stationed at the borders between various countries and Qi continued to increase, the atmosphere of danger became stronger and stronger, as if war was about to break out at the next moment.

…

"Urgent report from the State of Lu!"

Urgent shouts rang outside the Qingshi Pass in Qi State, and the sound of horse hooves on the ground startled the birds in the dense forest.

As an important pass on the Great Wall of Qi State, the purpose of Qingshi Pass is to defend against threats from the direction of Lu State.

Recently, due to the instability in the internal affairs of Qi State, the border between Qi and Lu, which had been peaceful for several years, became lively again.

General Tian Fang, the guard of Qingshi Pass, who vaguely sensed that something was wrong with the situation, did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately dispatched scouts to go deep into the Lu State to inquire for the news.

And when the news from the Lu Kingdom was continuously returned by these scouts, the guard Tian Fang, who gradually saw the situation at hand, felt increasingly heavy.

The scene in front of me was so familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere before.

Yes, it was the battle between the Allied Forces and Qi State eight years ago.

His eyes were slightly focused, his brows were furrowed, and he was filled with sorrow gushing out from his heart.

In that battle eight years ago, Qi wanted to take advantage of the war between Wei and Qin to become a fisherman like a snipe and a clam fighting.

Unexpectedly, not only did the fisherman fail to do so, but he returned in great defeat, and the large territory west of the Great Wall became the spoils of war for the coalition of princes.

Eight years ago, Qi State took advantage of Wei State's westward movement and launched a desperate attack on Wei State, but was unable to win.

Eight years later, the previous king of Qi passed away, and the new king succeeded to the throne not long ago. When the situation in the government was unstable, what could be done to deal with the another attack from the princes.

Just when Tian Fang was worried about the current situation of Qi State, a cry came from outside the door.

"General, there is an urgent report coming from the direction of Lu State."

Tian Fang quickly freed his mind from his inner worries and took the urgent report from the scout's hand. The look on his face immediately changed as soon as he saw it.

"Snapped!"

The sound of slapping several cases with his right palm sounded in the room, and Tian Fang suddenly stood up from his position.

With a solemn look on his face, Tian Fang coldly called outside the room: "Here comes someone."

The moment the voice fell, two guards on duty at the door immediately came to Tian Fang.

"General."

"Where is the deputy general now?" Without waiting for the two guards to answer, Tian Fangdi immediately ordered: "Go and ask the deputy general to come over, and tell him that I have urgent military information to discuss with him."

"Follow orders."

A moment later, when Deputy General Qingshiguan entered the room in a hurry, what caught his eye was General Tian Fang standing silently in front of a map.

While Tian Fang's solemn gaze was always staring ahead, the deputy general slowly came behind him.

"The last general, see the general."

The deputy general's greeting immediately brought Tian Fang back to reality from his thoughts.

Trying to keep a calm expression on his face, Tian Fang asked the deputy general in a deep voice: "How are the soldiers doing recently?"

"But please rest assured, general. The general has been conducting regular inspections and the condition of the soldiers is quite stable."

The deputy general looked at Tian Fang in front of him, especially the worry revealed in his eyes, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"General, is it from the State of Lu..."

After hearing the deputy general's direct question, Tian Fang nodded helplessly and handed the urgent report from Lu to him.

Opening up the urgent report that Tian Fang had just held tightly in his hand, and seeing clearly what was written on it, the lieutenant general's face immediately showed full of surprise.

"General, there are 20,000 more Lu troops facing us. What is the Lu State going to do?"

"What to do? Isn't it already obvious?"

A wave of self-mockery appeared on his face, Tian Fang's eyes first looked to the southwest, and then slowly moved to the map in front of him.

"It's just a Lu country. With Qi's current national strength, I still don't take it seriously. I'm just afraid..."

Tian Fang stopped talking at this moment, and his eyes slowly moved slightly, and finally landed on Wei State further west on the map.

The Qi State is really not afraid of the mere Lu State; even if the Song State is added to the list, Qi State can still say that it can win.

These countries are not scary in the eyes of Tian Fang or even Qi. What is scary is Wei who is standing behind them at this moment.

Once Wei officially sends troops to attack Qi, not only these countries, but also the stronger Zhao and Han will send troops to help.

In addition to the fact that Chu State was not involved, this situation was clearly a replica of the battle eight years ago, and eight years ago Qi State was completely defeated.

"The general is worried that Wei will send troops?"

Looking at the deputy general who also looked solemn, Tian Fang nodded and said: "This is what I am worried about."

"Eight years ago, our state of Qi lost to the coalition of princes led by the state of Wei."

"Eight years later, the Wei State and other princes who had consumed the occupied land have become stronger, but our Qi State is at a time of turmoil."

"How could other countries give up this good opportunity to seek benefits? How can our country, Qi, defeat the current coalition of princes?"

Tian Fang's rhetorical question caused a long silence in the room, and only solemn expressions remained on the faces of the two people.

"General!"

The deputy general's exclamation pulled Tian Fang out of his thoughts.

With a face full of urgency, the deputy general said to Tian Fang: "General, I think the most urgent task at the moment is to send the news of our harvest to Linzi immediately."

"How to deal with this attack by the princes, whether to be tough or to be soft and seek peace, is something that your Majesty must discuss and decide with the important officials in the court."

The deputy general's words reminded the guard Tian Fang who was worried and didn't know what to do.

"That's all it can do."

After saying this helplessly to the deputy general, Tian Fang quickly returned to his general position from the map.

While the ink pen was wandering, a silk letter sent to Linzi appeared in front of Tian Fang.

"Here comes someone."

"General."

Looking at the personal guard who came to him again, Tian Fang put the silk letter written by himself and the silk letter from Lu State together and handed it to the other party.

"Hurry to Linzi and hand this hand over to your Majesty. This matter is related to the safety of our country, Qi, and there must be no mistake."

His face was full of seriousness, and the personal guard regarded it as a military salute, "I will obey the general's military orders."

Soon after, the personal guards rode war horses and headed straight to Linzi of Qi State in the east.
