Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 133 A Historical Record

Shi Shen witnessed all this and felt a little emotional.

Although he is a dead ghost,
We know that after death, we can go to the ghost country and continue to exist.

But the soldiers on the ground did not know.

They truly sacrificed everything for the righteousness and loyalty in their hearts.

So he said to He Bo, "I don't care if Pang Juan dies."

"But if the reputation of such a loyal and righteous man cannot be spread, then the defeat of Wei this time will only be a shame, without any glory!"

"I'm going to tell that old guy Gan De in his dream and ask him to record this incident!"

He Bo waved his hand and approved it!
Gan De of Qi therefore saw his old friend who had just died in his dream.

As soon as he saw Shi Shen, he felt sad, "You won't let me go even if you die, are you going to take me with you?"

Shi Shen snorted.

The old man said very sincerely, "How could I be such a petty person!"

"I came here this time, one is to wish you a long life, the other is to ask for your help!"

"In Ma Ling, on the border of Wei State, a pair of loyal monarchs and ministers died. I hope their stories can be passed down to show that loyalty and righteousness still exist in the world, so that future generations will not laugh at this era of moral decay and social disarray!"

Gan De listened to his retelling of the Battle of Maling and clapped his hands, saying, "The feud between Pang Juan and Sun Bin only highlights the loyalty between this master and servant!"

"The experiences of Pang and Sun will surely be passed down to future generations, but this master and servant must not be forgotten!"

"However, historians keep records in their notebooks, and we cannot draw conclusions based on a dream talk alone. I will send my disciples to verify the truth!"

Shi Shen stamped his feet, "Don't you trust me?"

Gan De said, "It is precisely because you said it that I want to verify it seriously to show my seriousness!"

Only then did Old Man Shi feel happy.

So after Gan De woke up, he sent his disciples to the State of Wei to verify the news.

The disciple arrived at Maling and saw a barkless tree. Because the war was not yet completely over, only the corpses of the main generals were collected.

He searched and found two sets of remains lying together.

then,

The disciples helped build a simple grave for the two.

After all, he couldn't move on with a pile of bones.

The disciple then went on to Daliang and sought to meet the families of his subordinates, and confirmed from them that the incident did indeed happen.

After returning to Qi, the disciple told his teacher about his experience.

Gander said with emotion, "This world is really strange!"

"The narrow-minded died under the barkless tree; the loyal and righteous also died under the barkless tree."

"Why do gentlemen and villains have the same fate?"

The disciple said, "Teacher, you know this because the spirits and ghosts showed their grace and benevolence."

"This shows that although war in the human world is extremely abominable, the gods and ghosts still pay attention to the kindness and loyalty in people's hearts."

"As long as people still have these things in their hearts, the world will always get better!"

Gander nodded, stroked his beard and said, "I hope so!"

"I want to record this incident in the history books, telling future generations that loyalty and righteousness will be remembered, while meanness and vileness will be laughed at!"

"I hope future generations can learn from this lesson and not make such mistakes again!"

So Gander picked up his pen,

In the "Pang-Sun feud" that was passed down to later generations, the stories of two supporting characters were added.

How will future generations evaluate this story?
Gan De and Shi Shen were not clear.

They conscientiously wrote down the rare brilliance in this troubled time, not wanting it to be obscured and forgotten.

Even the ghosts and gods don’t know.

We can only ensure that this story lives on.

The King of Wei did not care about this warmth at all. After recovering Pang Juan's body, he just denounced the latter's incompetence.

"I handed over the army to him, how dare he lose!"

"And the prince!"

"My son!"

Not long after Pang Juan was defeated at Maling, the army led by Prince Shen was also ambushed by the Qi army. Prince Shen was captured and subsequently beheaded.

Prince Ying of Wei cried bitterly over the loss of his crown prince.

Just a few years ago,
Because Crown Prince Shen was his favorite, King Ying of Wei deposed the original Crown Prince Wei Si and appointed Wei Shen as the new Crown Prince.

Who knows how long it has been?

Prince Shen is dead! The heir that King Wei likes the most is gone!

Wei Wangying therefore realized that

The hegemony of Wei
I'm really going to lose it!

The King of Wei was furious and stamped his feet in the court.

No minister dared to step forward to comfort him.

The defeat at the Battle of Maling
It also means that the State of Wei will soon become like the tree whose bark has been plucked.

The bark is gone.

No matter how tall you are,
Will die eventually.

When the news of Wei's defeat spread throughout the world,
Qin immediately stated:
While you are sick, I will kill you!
I'm going to war!
So the Qin army crossed the river and attacked Hedong of Wei.

The King of Wei had no choice but to cede the few remaining cities of Wei in Hexi and ask Qin to withdraw its troops.

In the underworld, Ximen Bao said to his colleagues who were dying in increasing numbers, "The hegemony that Duke Wen built for the State of Wei has finally been lost."

"From now on, Wei will either be dependent on Qin or Qi, and there is no way to restore its former glory!"

"It's all Wei Wangying's fault!"

Most of the Wei officials who died in the past few years were associated with Ximen Bao. When they heard what Doctor Ximen said, they immediately raised their arms and responded.

"wrong!"

"It should be Wei Houji's problem!"

Some people pointed out that if Wei Hou Ji had appointed a crown prince early in his lifetime and trained his son carefully, instead of worrying that his son would seize his power when he grew up and deliberately suppressing him, the State of Wei would not have become like this.

Later, someone pointed out, "Gongshu Zhuo also had problems. He excluded capable and wise people, which led to Shang Yang's departure to Qin!"

"go!"

"Let's go find them!"

Although the three generations of monarchs of the Wei State were indeed worse than the previous one.

But after serving in the State of Wei for many years, many people have feelings for this country.

Now the State of Wei is in decline.
We must not use dreams to provoke King Ying of Wei, lest he make a fuss and damage the limited vitality of the Wei State.

But Wei Hou Ji is in the underworld!

So the ministers rolled up their sleeves and went to ask the former monarch for advice on "parenting experience".

Wei Ji, who had just beaten Pang Juan and Gongshu Zhuo to vent his anger, walked out of the house and found several dead men blocking the door.

Look at their faces.

It didn't look like he was coming to pay a visit to his predecessor, the Marquis of Wei.

Then Wei Hou Ji said anxiously, "I have already dealt with Pang Juan!"

"What does the current state of Wei have to do with a dead person like me?"

"If you hadn't given birth to Wei Ying, this wouldn't have happened!" someone shouted.

Wei Ji said, "If I don't give birth to a son, who will inherit the country?"

"You're also at fault anyway!"

Several deadly Wei ministers surrounded him and "guarded" Wei Ji as he went into the room.

We are all dead anyway,

There is no need to talk to Wei Ji about Zhou Li anymore.

Just shoulder to shoulder!

The two dead ghosts who had just come down were hesitating whether to go forward to rescue Wei Ji.

The retainer said, "My Lord, you are receiving the favor of the King of Wei, not the Marquis of Wei Wu. Don't do anything stupid again!"

After his persuasion, the damn guy finally gave up on lending a helping hand.

"You're right. When I was born, Wu Hou had been dead for several years. I should wait until Wei Wangying comes down before I go to protect him from the ghosts!"

After all,

The two damned guys left.

And since someone has just died,
Someone has to welcome the new life.

Not long after, the King of Chu died in the State of Chu and was posthumously named "Xuan". His son Xiong Shang succeeded him.

In the same year, a little baby was born in the family of Qu, whose surname was Mi. His father named him "Yuan".

In the same year, Zhao Houyu's concubine gave birth to a new child, who was named "Yong".

The Duke of Zhao loved him very much and made him the crown prince, announcing that this child would become the next monarch of Zhao.
