Wei State, Yueyang.

When the westbound car arrived at the former capital of the Qin Kingdom, Wei Marquis Wei Feng received some not-so-good news.

"snort."

After a cold snort full of chills, Wei Feng held the silk book in his hand, his eyes full of dangerous light.

"The 150,000 Qin army could not withstand the Wei army, but unexpectedly, it was blocked by a small Xi county."

"Brother, calm down."

Facing the anger emanating from Wei Feng, Wei Han, the governor of Xihe County behind him, quickly stepped forward.

"The commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army is General Long Jia. With such a veteran general on the battlefield, Yi County must belong to our Wei State."

After Wei Feng listened to Wei Xuan's persuasion, the anger in his heart subsided a lot and he couldn't help but nodded slightly.

The 150,000 Qin army is no match for the Wei army. How long can this mantis in Xi County stop the chariot?

After thinking for a while, Wei Feng turned his eyes to the other person present.

"I wonder what Situ thinks of this matter?"

When Wei Feng's inquiry sounded in his ears, Gongsun Yang, who was the Situ of Wei, immediately said: "I think this matter may be able to turn harm into benefit, help the emperor, and help Wei win over the hearts of the people of Qin."

"How to turn harm into gain?" After listening to Gongsun Yang's words, Wei Feng quickly asked.

"I wonder if your Majesty knows the three tribes in Xi County?"

"But Baili, Xiqi and the Bai clan?"

"That's right." Gongsun Yang said with a bow to Wei Feng in front of him.

"The ancestor of the Baili clan is Baili Xi, the former Qin Dynasty official Wuxi, and the Xiqi clan is after Jian Shu, the former Qin Dynasty official."

"These two men are both great sages praised by people all over the world. It was with the assistance of these two men that Duke Mu of Qin completed the task of driving Rong Di from the west."

"The descendants of these two great sages, together with the descendants of the former Qin Gongzi Bai, form the three major gentry clans in Yi County today."

"These three noble families not only hold a pivotal position in Xi County, but also have great prestige in the entire Qin State."

"Your Majesty..."

A call came out of his mouth, and Gongsun Yang came behind him.

"If we can appease these three tribes and make them return to the throne, then I, the Wei Dynasty, can win the hearts of the people of Qin."

"Um."

Wei Feng nodded slightly again. From what Gongsun Yang said just now, he already understood the benefits of appeasing the three clans.

However, Wei Feng still had some concerns in his heart. The three clans in Xi County had been favored by Qin for generations. If he...

Seemingly sensing the worries in Wei Feng's heart, Gongsun Yang continued to add: "If the three tribes are determined to resist to the end, you don't have to worry. General Long Jia is leading an army just outside Yi County."

Having said this, a smile appeared on Wei Feng's lips.

"Situ, Brother Yan, how about going to Yi County with us?"

"I respectfully obey your orders."

…

Xi County was already heavily covered by clouds of war, and the red Wei flags outside the city heightened the atmosphere of war.

In a study room in Xi County, the solemn atmosphere was almost as heavy as to make people feel breathless.

"Cough cough cough..."

A burst of coughing broke the dullness in the room. Baili Ce, the patriarch of the Baili clan who was the oldest and always the most prestigious among the three clans, swept his eyes over everyone in the room.

There are many people with worried faces, many with sad and angry faces, and of course there are also those who hesitate to speak.

Seeing all these different expressions in his eyes, Bailice said in an old voice: "I think you all understand why I have summoned you all here today."

"Long Jia's army outside the city has heavily surrounded this small county. Even if our three tribes can resist for a while, we will not be able to defeat the Wei army outside the city."

"How can we best protect our three tribes? Everyone here may wish to speak freely, right?"

"boom……"

As soon as Bailice finished speaking, Bai Fang, the leader of the Bai clan on the side, slapped his palm heavily on the table in front of him.

"We, the Bai clan, have never been greedy for life or afraid of death. Even if we know that we are going to die, so what. We, the Bai clan, just want to let Wei Jun know..."

"Confused!"

Before Bai Fang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Bailice.

"You are an old man in vain, and you don't have much life left, but where are the descendants of your Bai family?"

"Don't you forget that your grandson is still in his infancy, and you can't bear to watch him die from a sharp knife before he can understand?"

"I……"

After speaking to the Bai clan leader next to him, Bailice looked at Xiqian, the Xiqi clan clan leader on the other side, "What else do you want to say?"

"this……"

Xiqian is in a dilemma at this time. The Xiqian family has been favored by Qin since the time of Duke Mu, but think about the young descendants in the family!

"well!"

Just as everyone in the room, including Xiqian, sighed, a report came from outside the room.

"Chief, the Wei army outside the city has delivered a silk letter, saying it was written by the Marquis of Wei himself."

After hearing these words, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in the eyes of some people present, and then an old voice sounded in the room.

"Quick, bring it here."

Taking the silk book from the stranger's hand, which was said to be written by Marquis Wei, the three patriarchs couldn't wait to read it.

Gradually, a look of relief appeared on the three people's faces that had been tense for a long time.

…

"Kakaka..."

Amidst the squeezing sound of wood, the city gate of Xi County was slowly opened, and three figures who seemed to be somewhat decayed came out.

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

Accompanied by a loud trumpet sound, a carriage slowly drove out from the Wei army's phalanx outside the city, and soon a figure wearing a red princely robe walked out of the carriage.

"Baili Ce (Bai Fang, Xiqian) has met the Marquis of Wei."

Facing the three people who only bowed slightly, Wei Feng did not show any displeasure on his face.

Being able to see these three people standing in front of him today means that the plan has been mostly successful.

"There is no need to be polite to the three clan leaders. Get up quickly."

"Thank you, Marquis Wei."

After getting up, Bailice, the leader of the three, slowly stepped forward and said, "Yesterday, I received a silk letter. I admire Marquis Wei's mind very much. I wonder if Marquis Wei has promised..."

"But please rest assured, Chief Baili. As long as you act within the laws of our Kingdom of Wei, I can keep Baili, Xiqi and the Bai family safe."

"In the future, if the children of the three tribes intend to join the officialdom or join the army, our Wei court and the army will also warmly welcome them."

"At the same time, I can also make a promise to the three clan leaders that the three clans in Xi County will not be enemies of Qin."

Although I had known these conditions before, I felt a little more relaxed after hearing the three clan leaders with my own ears.

"Baili Ce (Bai Fang, Xiqian), pay homage to your Majesty."
