Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 174 "Preparation" [First update, please subscribe]

However, unlike the "regret" of the kings of the Six Kingdoms, King Qin almost laughed happily when he heard the news.

No, not almost laughing, but actually laughing.

He saw the things and benefits that this war brought to Qin, so Qin King Ying Ji, who had never expressed his attitude in the fight between "Gongzi Xi" and "Gongzi Chu", did it in front of everyone for the first time. He praised the young master Zi Chu.

Gongzi Xi thought that this boast was over, but what happened later told him that this was just the beginning.

A simple start.

In the forty-eighth year of King Zhaoxiang, Qin participated in the war between Zhao and Wei.

King Qin Ying Ji responded to King Zhao's request and dispatched Bai Qi, "Taiwei" and "Jun Wu'an". When he heard this name, King Wei subconsciously felt a little cold and trembling in his heart. The last time Bai Qi came out of the mountain was because of The war between Yan and Qi.

At that time, the famous general "Le Yi" of the Yan Kingdom was defeated and returned, and the Yan Kingdom was even beaten to the capital of Jicheng. The King of Yan personally surrendered and offered one of the Nine Cauldrons in exchange for "peace".

This is because the State of Zhao is separated from the State of Yan and the State of Qin, so the State of Qin did not directly destroy the State of Yan.

Wei and Qin are right next to each other!

As a result, the King of Wei began to be frightened. He was afraid that the fate of the Yan State would be the fate of the Wei State. However, his younger brother Xinling Lord Wei Wuji wrote to him to tell him not to worry, even if Bai Qi was very powerful, even if Lian Po was very weak. So what if it's powerful?

If he can't defeat it, why can't he defend the city?

Unless Qin really comes with the intention of destroying Wei, Wei Wuji thinks he can handle it.

That's exactly what happened.

In the forty-eighth year of King Zhaoxiang, Bai Qi + Lian Po, plus the allied forces of Qin and Zhao, collided with the Wei soldiers led by Wei Wuji. The world-famous "Xinling Lord" was indeed Lord Xinling. One person was able to resist the joint attack of two of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period.

For two full months, the Qin and Zhao coalition forces could not advance even an inch.

It is precisely because of this that Lord Xinling's reputation spread throughout the world again, and everyone felt that Lord Xinling turned out to be such a strong person! Before, they only thought that Wei Wuji's military ability was "fair", but his personality charm was more important!

But now it seems that Lord Xinling has not only charisma, but also a great talent!

In the forty-eighth year of King Zhaoxiang, three months after Lord Xinling blocked the Qin-Zhao coalition forces, Qin Gongzi Chu got drunk at a banquet and lost his temper, saying that he had never thought that Wei could have such a talented person as Wei Wuji!

If Qin can get such talented people, then Qin will be even more powerful than it is now!

Qin was even willing to exchange ten cities for Wei Wuji, Lord Xinling!

As long as King Wei agrees!

Of course, no one in the world really took these words seriously. After all, he was just Mr. Qin, not even the prince, not to mention that the prince could not be the master of Qin.

After this banquet, Lord Xinling's reputation became even more widespread in the world, and everyone began to admire Lord Xinling, one of the four young masters.

The situation on the battlefield became more anxious, but what was more anxious than the situation on the battlefield was the heart of King Wei.

He spent day and night reading the memorials praising Wei Wuji, and the praises brought back by the Wei State's intelligence system from the kings of the world for Wei Wuji.

King Wei tightly grasped the silk on the desk in front of him, veins popped out in his hands, and his face was full of ferocity.

"Ah"

King Wei was breathing heavily, but his reason still controlled him not to do anything to offend Lord Xinling, because at present he did not feel the threat from Wei Wuji.

At the end of the forty-eighth year of King Zhaoxiang, King Yingji of Qin was celebrating the new year with his ministers. He laughed out loud while drunk. He said that it was fortunate that Wei Wuji was not the king of Wei, otherwise Qin would be in danger. .

Everyone in the world knows the charm of Mr. Xinling's personality, and he has so many disciples and talents under his sect. If you pick just one of them, you will have the talent to become the "National Prime Minister".

Such people gathered under Lord Xinling's door, which shows that Lord Xinling is the most suitable person to become a king!

Speaking of happiness, Ying Ji even clapped his hands and laughed, scolding the previous King of Wei for being blind, but this blindness was a huge benefit to Qin!

It is Wei's loss that Lord Xinling cannot become King of Wei, but it is Qin's luck!

What was said at the banquet quickly spread throughout the world, especially in Wei State. This kind of talk was even more uproar, as if it could not be calmed down.

King Wei could feel that many people around him looked at him wrongly, especially the royal family!

They seem to be really considering replacing themselves with Wei Wuji as King of Wei!

Suffering day by day.

The longer Wei Wuji resists Lian Po and Bai Qi, the louder this statement becomes!

The incident broke out one day when King Wei was walking in the palace and heard two chamberlains discussing. They were pity why a "gentleman" like Lord Xinling was not the King of Wei. If Lord Xinling became the "King of Wei" they Your life will definitely be much better!

In anger, King Wei directly ordered the guards to beat the two eunuchs to death with sticks, and then returned to the palace.

He couldn't sleep well every day. It seemed that as soon as he fell asleep, someone would come out from the dark and kill him. Then he could only watch Wei Wuji, the Lord of Xinling, become the King of Wei!

Take his place!

King Wei is going crazy! He can't stand it anymore!

So, he did something that shocked everyone in the world, but felt that it was indeed something he could do.

The King of Wei issued an edict ordering Lord Xinling to return to the capital immediately. The meaning of the edict was very euphemistic. It said that the King of Wei dreamed day and night that Lord Xinling was betrayed by his men and died miserably on the battlefield. The King of Wei cared about brotherhood, so he did not dare Let Lord Xinling stay on the battlefield.

So he found someone to replace Lord Xinling as the general, hoping that Lord Xinling could return immediately.

Wei Wuji, who received the edict, had a bitter, broken, and helpless smile on his face. He raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky, tears almost falling.

His heart was filled with emotions. How could Wei Wuji fail to see the meaning contained in this edict?

His sensitive and suspicious brother really fell into Qin's alienation scheme!

"Destrangement"

The corner of Wei Wuji's mouth was filled with bitterness: "This is indeed the best tactic in the world. The moment the alienation tactic is used, no one can escape."

"nobody."

The disciples around him were all admonishing Wei Wuji. They all knew that once Wei Wuji left the battlefield and returned to the capital, what awaited Wei Wuji would be house arrest or death.

They advised Wei Wuji to take advantage of this moment to flee to another country, to Qin!

With the King of Qin's ability, Wei Wuji will definitely be reused.

However, Wei Wuji refused. He sat cross-legged on the sand dune with a qin on his knees.

He sang "Wind" loudly to express his grievance, helplessness, and sorrow in his heart. The tears on his face fell against the wind. When the song was over, he tidied up his clothes and got on the carriage returning to Daliang, the capital of Wei. .

Never come back.

Seeing Wei Wuji leave, some of the disciples who had been dismissed by him but were unwilling to leave fell to the ground and cried bitterly. Later, more than a dozen disciples drew their swords and committed suicide.

The blood of loyal ministers and martyrs was spilled on this innocent land. The people here later buried these martyrs together and named this place "Wuji Blood". As time passed, a hundred years later, a legend gradually appeared here The name of the village, "Wujixue", gradually became "Roof Ridge Snow", and finally "Roof Ridge Snow Village".

The forty-ninth year of King Zhaoxiang.

The war between Wei and Qin and Zhao is still going on. Wei, which has changed its generals, is obviously unable to resist the Qin and Zhao coalition.

But this did not make King Wei admit his mistake, but made King Wei even more panicked.

He was afraid that Wei Wuji was so scared that he couldn't eat.

In March of the 49th year of King Zhaoxiang, the King of Qin sent an envoy to the State of Wei, saying that the King of Qin admired Wei Wuji's talent, so as long as the King of Wei was willing to hand over Wei Wuji, they were willing to withdraw immediately.

On the day when the envoy said these words in the court, the panic in King Wei's heart reached its peak.

He rebuked the King of Qin's envoy in the court, saying that Wei Wuji was his younger brother and he would not use his younger brother for benefits in any case.

Even if the army is approaching the city, he will still drive to defend the enemy.

It was also on this night that Wei Wuji, the Lord of Xinling, "committed suicide" in his palace. Before his death, he left his last words, saying that he would rather die than "become a thief" and hope that his brother "King Wei" could forgive him. Selfish.

After the news came out, people all over the world were horrified.

Many people speculate that Wei Wuji, Lord of Xinling, did not "cut himself" at all, but was "cut himself".

They became afraid, worried, and suspicious.

Especially within Wei State.

After hearing the news, the King of Wei was filled with grief and cried for three days. He could hardly stand up. He personally carried Wei Wuji's coffin, wearing a plain white robe, as if he was personally paying filial piety to Wei Wuji.

His crying was real, and so were his tears.

But it was indeed King Wei who did it, and he had no regrets.

After burying Lord Xinling, the King of Wei sent a letter and envoy to the King of Qin, asking for Qin's forgiveness and stating that he was willing to exchange the "Liangzhou Ding" of the "Jiuding" for the King of Qin's understanding.

The King of Qin accepted King Wei's proposal, and in the same year Bai Qi escorted the "Liangzhou Ding" filled with grain and Wei land back to Qin.

After Qin retreated, Zhao also had to retreat. After all, even without Xinling Lord Wei Wuji, the fighting power of Wei's soldiers was still there.

In the same year, King Zhao fulfilled his promise and ordered Li Mu to go to Qin.

King Zhaoxiang arrived happily in his fiftieth year.

And this year, Qin State obtained six of the Nine Cauldrons, and the remaining three seemed to be already in the bag.

At the celebration banquet after the victory, the young master Chu Yanming revealed that Zhao general Li Mu was his surprise to the King of Qin. Li Mu was unwilling to attack Zhao, so he continued to guard the border to guard against the Huns.

The same year, autumn.

King Qin Yingji announced a major event.

The world was in an uproar.

Ying Ji ordered Bai Qi, Wang Jian, and Meng Ji to lead their troops to attack Han.
