Chapter 183 Wei Wuji
In 278 BC, Bai Qi went out of Hangu Pass to attack Chu State. The King of Chu learned that he had sent heavy troops to block the country along the way. However, Bai Qi took a different approach and smuggled through the natural danger Yunmengze, bypassed the encirclement of the Chu army, and headed straight to the city of Yingdu. Seven days later, Yingdu City was broken, and the King of Chu was defeated and left Yiling. Bai Qi chased him and burned Yiling County. The King of Chu was defeated again and fled to Chendi.`
The following year, Bai Qi continued to attack Chu and successively captured Wudi and Qianzhong. The King of Chu had no choice but to cut off the land west of Jingling to seek peace from Qin. Qin stopped his troops and established Nanjun, and appointed Bai Qi as the Lord of Wu'an.
Wei Zhao, King Zhao of Wei, was not fearful after hearing the Qin Dynasty's attack on Chu, but luck. Since he ascended the throne, there have been countless wars between Wei and Qin, and he counted them a few times. He only won a few times and could not even use a slap. This made Wei, who was determined to make the Wei State stronger, feel a little embarrassed. But it doesn't matter. In the battle of Hangu Pass, Wei State finally won one game and retreated quickly. Not only did he preserve his strength, but he also asked Qin to give the prince as his lord. Whenever he thought of this, Wei State would always be proud of himself.
But once he was too happy, there seemed to be a caterpillar crawling in his chest, which was so itchy that Wei Shi couldn't help coughing. The eunuch next to him quickly brought the lung-clearing medicine and placed it carefully on the table.
"Master, the medicine has been boiled twice, so you should drink it while it's hot."
Wei Shi frowned and said unhappily: "How many times have Gu said that Gu is not sick, what should I do when I drink these medicines? Take it down!"
“Yes.`”
The eunuch quickly picked up the medicine and retreated outside the hall. When he turned around, he saw Wei Wuji, the second son of the King of Wei, coming over. The eunuch quickly retreated aside to salute.
"I've seen the young master."
Seeing the soup in the eunuch's hand, Wei Wuji stopped and asked quietly: "Didn't your father still drink it?"
The eunuch nodded and replied, "Young Master, the king always thinks that he is strong and has no illness, and occasionally coughing is not a big deal. He doesn't listen to the imperial physician at all."
"Give me the medicine."
Wei Wuji took the tray and saw the eunuch bowing and retreating, then turned around and entered the hall.
"Father, although state affairs are important, you should also pay attention to your health."
"Well? It's Wuji, come and sit down."
King Wei raised his head and saw that it was his youngest son, so he waved to him and let him sit closer to him.
"Those imperial physicians were too cautious. They were obviously ill but treated them as serious illnesses. It would be better not to take these medicines. By the way, you came just right. It's been a while since the Qin proton arrived in Daliang. Let's talk about it, how is this prince mourning?"
The prince mourns?
The indulgent figure of Prince Dao appeared in front of Wei Wuji. To be honest, Wei Wuji had a bad impression of Prince Dao, and even said a little disgusted. However, sometimes, his evaluation of a person cannot be mixed with his own preferences. Therefore, Wei Wuji thought for a moment before speaking: "Crown Prince Dao can be chosen as the crown prince by the King of Qin, which is naturally extraordinary. Judging from the contacts during this period, this person is quite knowledgeable and has no disadvantage in interacting with those old and prominent nobles, and seems to be at ease. However, with the background of the Qin royal family, it is appropriate for him to have such a performance. After arriving in Daliang, this person is addicted to pleasure and is quite unrestrained. If what we see is true, this person is not afraid of. Not only can we not make things difficult for him, we must also make good friends with him with all our might. Even help him become the King of Qin!"
Speaking of this, Wei Wuji paused for a moment, then added with a serious expression: "If what we saw was deliberately exposed by him, then this person's scheming would be a little scary. We must find a way to keep him here forever!"
King Wei let out a long sigh, and his eyes looked at his youngest son more friendly. What Wuji didn't know was that for the same question, the eldest son Wei's answer became much rougher - it's hard for a playboy to accomplish great things!
What everyone can see is not ability, but can see what ordinary people can't achieve. This is the capital to win the might of the might. Although the Wei State is rich, its combat power is not as strong as the Qin people, nor is it as capable as the Zhao people, nor as powerful as the Chu people. The only thing worthy of praise is that he has two good sons. Although his eldest son Wei is not as talented as the second son, he is loyal and honest. He can win over all officials and appease the people. Although his overall view is a little worse, he is still competent to be a successful leader. The second son Wuji has a long-term vision and extraordinary talent. He is a capable minister in governing the world. However, Wuji is too sharp. If Wei State has strong national strength and can compete with Qin, Zhao and other countries, he can let him do it. However, the actual situation is not allowed. Let him assist Wei in the future. The brothers are united and can guarantee that the Wei State will be safe for a hundred years.
"Father, the prince will not be able to leave Daliang in a short period of time. We have enough time to observe him slowly. If he is really so scheming, he will eventually be exposed."
Seeing that his father was in deep thought, Wei Wuji thought he was worried about the matter of mourning the prince, he persuaded him, "As long as he is still in our hands, we have to let us rub it if it is flat or round. What I am worried about now is that the other end of Wu County, a while ago, Wei State took advantage of our troops to Hangu Pass to re-establish the camp on the Yupan Mountain. Jiang Wei was defeated in both expeditions, and he lost flawlessly. Logically speaking, Wei State has no good generals. Normally, the two sides should be stalemate and it is impossible to defeat so quickly."
"Weiguo? Haha, it's just a small country that can't be a climate. It's normal for some small conflicts on the border, just treat it as a training force."
After listening to his father's words, Wei Wuji also felt that he seemed a little sensitive. In this era of cold weapons, war was about the number of people. The more people the better, the better the advantage. The more land the corresponding, the more people you can support. Qin, Chu, and Zhao all became a big country after owning vast territory. The Wei Kingdom had a small territory and the permanent army was insufficient. It would be good to barely defend the territory. If you want to invade, it would be a dream.
"It's because my son is worried too much, but my father, the weather has become cold these two days, so I really have to pay attention. Although my father is healthy, there is no harm in preventing it in advance. My son saw that the medicine is no longer hot, so my father should drink it because of my hard work."
"Hahaha, you, okay, drink, drink."
A yellow leaf suddenly floated outside the window and fell to the ground. Jingshu looked at the yellow butterfly flying in the yard and couldn't help but tighten her cloak. A young maid walked behind Jingshu and asked softly: "Crown Princess, are you looking for me?"
"Yeah." Jing Shu reached out to pick up a fallen leaf, put it in her hand and rubbed it gently for a few times, and said, "Take my post and go to the Prince's Mansion to say that I want to invite the Prince's Concubine to go to Tianyuan Temple to appreciate the chrysanthemums." (To be continued.)
