What does Wei need most now?

Is it a huge amount of wealth? A captured territory? Or a population that is extremely valuable in any era?

All of the above are necessary for a country to become strong, but they are not what Wei needs most now.

After a battle of unprecedented scale, Wei State seized most of the land in Guanzhong from Qin State.

As long as the land in Guanzhong, known as the "Land of Abundance", can be managed properly, a steady stream of population and wealth will naturally be harvested, and the national power of Wei will inevitably make a huge leap.

At that time, the situation in the world will directly advance for at least a hundred years, and the relationship between Wei and the princes of the world will be like that between Qin and the other six countries in another time and space.

Not only did Wei Feng begin active diplomatic relations when he succeeded to the throne, but the situation around Wei was even better than that of Qin in later generations.

Chu, Qi, and even the soon-to-be-rising Zhao, these powerful and ambitious powers were targets set up by Wei to hide his more aggressive plots.

So now it is clear that what Wei needs most is time, time that allows Wei to concentrate on digesting the results it has achieved.

This is why Wei Feng, the Marquis of Wei, said that now is not the time to turn against Zhao.

In order to give itself enough time, Wei State needs to maintain sufficient strategic deterrence to the outside world so that all countries in the world will not dare to act rashly in a short period of time.

In the past ten years, why have the princes of the world worshiped Wei? Firstly, Wei has strong national power and military power, and secondly, Wei is the leader of the Three Jin Alliance.

Once Wei and Zhao completely break up, the Three Jin Alliance will immediately fall apart, and Wei's deterrence to the princes will also be greatly reduced.

Even if the State of Zhao chooses to reunite with the State of Chu, then the State of Wei will fall into the situation of a north-south attack from the north and the south in the later period of Wei Wuhou.

Therefore, in order to avoid this dilemma from happening again, Wei needs to do the following three things.

First, make every effort to stabilize Zhao State, which has gained a lot of benefits from Qi State, and maintain the superficial stability of the Three Jin Alliance;

Second, make every effort to digest the land gained from this war with Qin and strive to consolidate its own national strength;

Third, unite as many northern princes as possible to jointly suppress Chu's attempt to expand its territory to the north.

After considering these three things one by one in his mind, a look of solemnity appeared on Wei Feng's face.

"Sima."

Sun Boling heard Wei Feng's call and hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Majesty."

"The three Jin states have always been on the same side. Since the state of Qi has sent envoys to the state of Wei to seek peace, it is hard for the state of Wei to hide anything from the state of Zhao."

"Order the senior official to go to Handan, inform Qi State of its intention to sue for peace, and test the attitude of Zhao's monarchs and ministers towards this war."

While Wei Feng issued the order, Sun Boling also made some secret calculations in his heart. At the moment, he really needed to maintain a good relationship with Zhao Guo.

After thinking for a moment, Sun Boling bowed forward and said, "I, I will obey your orders."

After talking about the arrangements for Zhao State, Wei Feng's eyes quickly turned from the north to the south.

"Where is the General now?"

Recalling the news he received a few days ago, Sun Boling made a rough estimate in his mind and said, "Your Majesty, according to the current marching speed, the General's headquarters is still ten days away from Daliang City."

After answering, thinking about what had just happened, Sun Boling said with some suggestions in his tone: "Your Majesty, the State of Qi has now sent an envoy to ask for peace from the State of Wei."

"Once we reach a peace treaty with Qi, Chu will inevitably choose to withdraw from the war when facing the entire coalition of princes alone."

"Daliang is guarded by the Prime Minister, and the Chu army has made no progress since the war began. Now that the war is about to end, should I order the general to return to the army?"

Facing the advice given by Sun Boling, Wei Feng nodded lightly.

The current battle situation will not change significantly when Pang Juan's army arrives in Daliang. It is just that the advantage gained by the Wei army in the direction of Daliang will be even greater.

From the perspective of reducing the consumption of food, grass and baggage, ordering Pang Juan's army to return to the division is indeed a good choice.

However, after thinking about it again, Wei Feng temporarily shelved this suggestion, "Since the Prime Minister is currently sitting on the front line of Daliang, it is difficult for all the troops to mobilize and interfere too much."

"Immediately send Qingqi to Daliang to inform you of the changes in the situation. It is up to the Prime Minister to decide how to deal with it."

Although his suggestion was not adopted by Wei Feng, Sun Boling was not dissatisfied at all.

From the handling of this matter, Sun Boling once again saw Wei Feng's attitude towards the war situation.

That is to leave professional matters to the most professional people, and those at the rear will never interfere too much in the frontline war, fully guaranteeing the supreme decision-making power of the frontline generals.

The reason why Wei Feng insisted on this choice was not because Wei Feng had no desire to control the war, but because Wei Feng's repeated attempts in his previous life made Wei Feng pay too much price.

You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted.

Wei Feng's almost unreserved trust was the favorite of outstanding generals including Sun Boling.

After all, as a general of an army, who doesn't want to be free from constraints from the rear and have a good fight with his opponents?

A smile appeared in his eyes, and Sun Boling immediately stepped forward and said, "I, I will obey your Majesty's orders."

…

The next day, as the city gate slowly opened, two teams from the south and one from the north left Anyi in different directions.

The team heading south walked through Zhiguanxing, crossed the river, and finally arrived at Daliang City, which was on the front line of the battle between Wei and Chu.

"At the end of the day, General Zhai opened his eyes and asked to see the Prime Minister."

"Come in."

When a reply sounded from the door, Zhai Kai, the armor-clad Daliang guard, slowly stepped into the room.

After a few breaths, standing in front of the figure behind the case, Zhai Kai said with some respect: "Prime Minister, the last general has just climbed to the top of the city and looked outside the city. The Chu army outside the city is still standing still as usual."

"good."

Gongsun Qi raised his head and looked at Zhai Kai in front of him, and casually handed over the silk book from Anyi, with a smile on his face.

"There is news from Anyi, General Zhai Kai should also take a look."

With some curiosity, he took the silk book from Gongsun Qi's hand, and after just a cursory glance, a smile couldn't help but appear on Zhai Kai's face.

"That's great. With the general's 100,000 troops coming to our aid, our army in Daliang City will have no worries."

Raising his hand to signal Zhai Kai to continue reading, Gongsun Qi continued to ask: "From General Zhai Kai's perspective, what should I make in the next step?"

"Prime Minister, the last general..."

Gongsun Qi had always been good at discovering and cultivating talents in the army. He saw the embarrassment on the other party's face at this time, and an encouraging smile appeared on his face.

"Don't refuse. I just want to know what you think of the current war situation."

"The general will obey the order."
