Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

In the palace, of course it refers to Qin Wangji.

But the mansion referred to was not Sima Geng's mansion, but Yinghou's mansion, that is, Fan Sui's mansion.

The guard replied: "Both." He took out two secret letters from his arms, handed them to Sima Geng, and then retreated quite consciously.

Sima Geng looked at the two letters in his hand, and after thinking for a while, he chose to open the one with the palace logo first.

The letter was written by Qin Wangji himself.

Sima Geng learned from this letter that Qin Wangji will send the whole county of Hanoi to help Shangdang, and will pass through the wild king, and tells Sima Geng that he must keep the wild king.

The content of this letter did not exceed Sima Geng's expectations.

The second letter is more interesting.

This second letter should be written by Fan Sui.

The content of the letter is also very simple, that is, if Sima Geng finds an opportunity, he must not hesitate to defeat Wei Wuji's troops as soon as possible.

Sima Geng read the second letter carefully, and then couldn't help muttering.

"Ying Hou seems a little anxious, why?"

Sima Geng suddenly called the guards.

"Where is the Han army commanded by Jin Fu?"

The guard replied: "It is twenty miles away from the south of the city."

Sima Geng pondered for a while, then gave the order.

"Order Jin Yan's troops to approach Yewang City, and then say that the enemy army is approaching."

"promise!"

Seeing the figure of the guard disappearing from the top of the city, Sima Geng's heart slowly felt a little excited.

The war is finally about to begin.

1Chapter 17 Why is the wild king (second update)

The war is indeed about to begin.

Just when Sima Geng ordered Jin Bing to lead the South Korean army to approach Yewang City, an army of [-] troops was marching towards the west about [-] miles away from Yewang City.

Looking down from the sky, this army looks like a long dragon that can't be seen at a glance, which is quite spectacular.

Wei Wuji, son of the State of Wei, Lord of Xinling, is the commander of this army of the State of Wei.

At this moment, Wei Wuji was dressed in military uniform, riding a white horse under his crotch, and was in the center of the entire army surrounded by many generals, slowly heading west along the road.

There are at least twenty generals around Wei Wuji, some of these generals are old faces, and some are new faces that just appeared.

It is obviously not an easy task to seize power, especially to seize the power of a general like Jin Bi who has been operating in Wei's army for so many years.

This is actually a very bloody and cruel thing.

But fortunately, this is an army. This is an army that has fought hundreds of battles in the past hundreds of years, so this kind of bloody and cruelty is quite common for this army.

According to Wei Wuji's original idea, he originally planned to trick Jin Bi into surrendering his military power, and then put Jin Bi and the generals of Jin Bi's faction under house arrest.

It's a pity that Jin Bi didn't give Wei Wuji the chance to choose.

After Zhu Hai hammered Jin Bi's head to pieces like a watermelon, Wei Wuji knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between himself and the generals of Jin Bi's faction.

So this Lord Xinling, with the help of Zhong Cheng and his family members, launched a very decisive seizure of power in the face of all the generals of Wei who didn't know about it.

All the generals who wanted to resist were captured or killed by Wei Wuji's men, which also caused a chaos.

This was a not-so-small chaos, and when the chaos completely subsided, it was already a whole day later.

Although it was delayed for a whole day, when the army of Wei State was on the road the next day, a large number of new generals and officers had already appeared in this army, replacing the positions of the original Jinbi faction.

All in all, the current Wei army is basically firmly in Wei Wuji's hands.

A puff of dust and smoke came from the road ahead accompanied by the sound of horseshoes. A moment later, Zhong Cheng appeared in front of Wei Wuji.

As one of Jin Bi's confidantes, Zhong Cheng's sudden betrayal undoubtedly surprised many people.

If it wasn't for Zhong Cheng, then even if Wei Wuji could kill Jin Bi immediately, the next thing would be very difficult.

Considering that Wei Wuji and his entourage were exhausted after the long journey, they might even die directly at the hands of the hundred guards led by Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng gave a military salute to Wei Wuji: "General!"

Wei Wuji glanced at Zhong Cheng and asked, "How is the situation?"

After the army set off, Zhong Chengcheng was appointed as the vanguard general, responsible for the charge in wartime and reconnaissance in peacetime.

Zhong Cheng pulled the reins, walked side by side with Wei Wuji, and said: "There is no enemy in the twenty miles ahead."

Wei Wuji nodded, and said: "Good. Pass down the order and order the whole army to speed up, and must arrive ten miles in front of Yewang City tonight."

This sentence was not addressed to Zhong Cheng.

Several messengers came out on horseback, and the horseshoes were covered with smoke, and they quickly went away.

Since the supply of grain and grass from Wei's country had been cut off after the seizure of power, this time Wei Wuji led the army on the road not with light packs, but with a large amount of grain and grass supplies.

One of the consequences of this is that the marching speed of this army is only forty or fifty miles a day.

This is the reason why the army of Wei State led by Wei Wuji has not arrived at the city of Yewang even though they have been on the road for several days.

On the other hand, with the decline of Wei State at this moment, the elite level of Wei State's army will inevitably be affected.

You must know that the Wei military pawn who swept the world back then, but as Xunzi said in the chapter on soldiers, "the armor of three attributes of clothing, the crossbow of twelve stones, fifty bow arrows, the spear on it, the crown and the sword, Win food for three days, and travel hundreds of miles in the middle of the day."

Although the army in Wei Wuji's hands is still the most powerful army in the Wei state, it is far from the Wei military pawns back then, and can only be regarded as an ordinary army.

Wei Wuji wanted to lead such an army to challenge the famous Qin Tiejun who had defeated the Wei State many times in the past few decades.

Many people were sweating for Wei Wuji's expedition this time, and even many people in the Wei army lacked confidence in this battle.

But Wei Wuji didn't seem to have any worries or fears, he was always so calm and full of confidence.

Zhong Cheng glanced at Wei Wuji, hesitant to speak.

Wei Wuji noticed Zhong Cheng's movement from the corner of his eye, so he turned his head: "What's the matter?"
