On the land of Wanjun, nearly 300,000 troops from Wei, South Korea, and Chu are fighting fiercely;

Between the land and swamps in the southeast, the Chu State's 100,000-strong army was gradually encroaching on the land that originally belonged to the Yue State;

To the east of the Taihang Mountains, Zhao State gathered an army of 100,000 people, preparing to eliminate Zhongshan State, a serious threat in one fell swoop. Yan State, and Qi State seemed to be preparing to move around.

What is called the Warring States Period refers not only to the several big countries in the world that became stronger due to war, but also to this chaotic era of endless fighting.

The common people in the world finally enjoyed a few short years of peace, but in the blink of an eye, war has swept the entire world.

While smoke was everywhere in the south, north and east, there was a different kind of tranquility in the capital of Wei State located in the east of Hedong.

The merchants in Anyi City still smiled and warmly entertained every guest who came and went.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians on the streets and in the markets, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.

The continuous victories in successive wars made the Wei people in Anyi full of confidence in their country. They believed that the flames of war would stay away from the capital of the most powerful country in the world.

Among the wine shops, what people in Wei drank and talked about the most was the victory won by the Wei army on the front line. From time to time, someone would look at the magnificent red palace.

In the main hall of the Wei Palace, Wei Wang Wei Feng is currently reviewing memorials from all over the Wei Kingdom.

The good news that has been coming from the front lines in recent times made Wei Feng feel happy, and at the same time, the ink pen in his hand couldn't help but feel a little lighter.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

The shouts coming from outside the hall made the tip of the ink pen in Wei Feng's hand pause for a moment.

After calmly finishing the memorial in his hand, Wei Feng slowly raised his head, and Prime Minister Gong Sun Qi was already standing in front of him.

"Listening to Xiangguo's shouting all the way, it seems that he has brought good news to me?"

"Without concealment from your Majesty, this is indeed the case." Handing out a silk letter from his arms, Gongsun Qi reported in a loud voice: "To your Majesty, a secret report has been sent back from Yingdu City."

"Facing the defeat in the frontline war, the King of Chu has already intended to seek peace from Wei."

"The envoy of Chu State, his left disciple Qu Boyong, has set out from Yingdu a few days ago and came to me, Anyi."

"Is this true?"

Upon hearing the news, Wei Feng quickly stood up from his seat and took the silk book from Gongsun Qi with some excitement.

"color!"

"God bless me, Wei!"

After getting excited, Wei Feng looked at Gongsun Qi, who had been standing silently, and the excitement on his face immediately faded a lot.

"How does the Prime Minister think we, the Wei Dynasty, should deal with this envoy from the Chu State who has come from afar?"

Facing the question raised by Wei Feng, Gongsun Qi just asked slowly, "Your Majesty, is Chu really unable to fight anymore?"

With this sentence ringing in his ears, the expression on Wei Feng's face suddenly returned to solemnity.

Is Chu really unable to fight anymore? Of course not!

In addition to the 20,000 Shenxi troops who were besieged by Pang Juan's army, the 60,000 Chu defenders guarding Wancheng, and the 100,000 Chu troops who were fighting fiercely with Yue, Chu still had a huge army in the country.

Although the master of these armies is not the king of Chu, but a large number of noble lords in the Chu Kingdom;

But if Chu State is really in danger of survival, Chu State can definitely gather a huge army.

It's just that the Chu State may still have the strength to fight again, but the King of Chu may not necessarily.

You must know that the Chu troops under Zhao Xixie were all recruited from the royal territory. If all their troops were wiped out, the power of the King of Chu would definitely suffer a big blow.

This is the reason why King Xiong Liangfu of Chu was able to put aside his stubbornness and send an envoy to seek peace with Wei after hearing that Wancheng was about to be surrounded on three sides by the Wei-Korean coalition forces.

However, what the King of Chu wanted to avoid was also what the Wei State expected.

The weaker the power of the King of Chu, the stronger the aristocratic vassals of the Chu State, and the weaker the Chu State.

What Wei State hopes for is not a united and powerful Chu State. On the contrary, a Chu State with many feudal lords is more in line with Wei State's interests.

Therefore, the Wei-Korean coalition's offensive against Chu cannot be stopped, at least not until the 80,000 Chu troops heading north are completely wiped out.

After understanding this, a dangerous light suddenly appeared in King Wei's eyes.

"Prime Minister, I have sent an order to the general, Situ, and I are looking forward to the day when they join hands to capture Wancheng."

"Here."

After bowing, Gongsun Qi did not choose to leave, but asked again: "I don't know, Your Majesty, how should we, the Wei Dynasty, deal with the envoys from the Chu Kingdom coming from afar?"

"Well, this way..."

After pondering for a moment, Wei Feng was about to express his decision when he immediately realized that something seemed wrong.

When his eyes moved to Gongsun Qi, he realized, wasn't this the question he had just asked?

As the eyes of the monarch and the minister met each other, a smile appeared on their faces.

It's just that Wei Feng had a wry smile, but Gongsun Qi had a hint of joy on his face.

"well!"

As if accepting his fate, Wei Feng said in a deep voice: "That's okay. The prince has gradually begun to participate in government affairs, so let him meet this left disciple of Chu State on my behalf."

"As for the widow and the prime minister..."

Before Wei Feng finished speaking, Gongsun Qi said directly, "To inform your Majesty, I am about to catch a cold, and I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the affairs of the government. Please forgive me."

"The prime minister's country is occasionally caught in the cold, what should I do?"

"Anything goes."

Hearing Gongsun Qi's words, Wei Feng couldn't catch his breath and could only nod slightly pretending to be calm.

There was silence in the main hall, and everything was in silence between the monarch and his ministers.

It was at this time that another burst of footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, Sun Boling, pays homage to the King and Prime Minister of the country."

"Sima, there's no need to be so polite. What happened?"

Wei Feng and Gongsun Qi looked at Sun Boling who was coming in a hurry, with a hint of questioning in their eyes.

"Your Majesty, a secret report has been sent back from Zhongshan."

"oh."

Hearing the news from Zhongshan Kingdom, Wei Feng suddenly became curious again.

Wei Feng did not forget that Zhao State had dispatched a hundred thousand troops for the Zhongshan State. He wanted to know how the Zhongshan State would respond.

When he saw clearly the contents of the secret report, a happy look appeared on Wei Feng's face.

"Zhongshan is so magnificent."

"Sima, seeing how the king is doing, does Zhongshan Kingdom win?"

"Exactly." Faced with Gongsun Qi's question, Sun Boling immediately bowed and said, "Prime Minister, since the beginning of the war, Zhongshan Kingdom can be said to have received frequent good news."

"Not only did they rely on the dangerous passes of Hongshang Fortress in the north, they also blocked the 30,000 Zhao troops who were marching south from Daidi."

"It was even more so in the city of Fuliu in the east, which severely dampened the spirit of Zhao's forwards."

"Both places are still in a fierce battle, but Zhongshan Kingdom has the upper hand?"

"good."

Taking three steps and two steps at a time, Wei Feng quickly walked to the map on the side.

Looking at the battle east of the Taihang Mountains in the north of the map, a solemn look suddenly appeared on Wei Feng's face.

Zhao Guo's three-pronged army attacking Zhongshan has now been defeated in two ways. It depends on whether the main force of the Zhao army led by King Zhao Zhong himself can defeat the Zhongshan army that came to challenge.

A slight chill flashed through his eyes, and Wei Feng murmured to himself: "We'll see."
