Chapter 177 Wei Wuji, who has no way to return to the country

On January 16, 259 BC, Yewang City.

The prince of Wei State, Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, stood at the head of Yewang City, staring at the road beneath his feet.

At Wei Wuji's feet, 100,000 Wei troops were slowly leaving the city and heading towards the Wei Kingdom in the east.

Wei Wuji had already taken off his combat armor and put on his usual clothes.

Of course, for Wei Wuji, this so-called "regular clothing" is also an exquisite silk robe that ordinary people can't even wear. At the same time, a fox fur coat is also worn outside. With Wei Wuji's handsome face, it looks particularly mature and suave, which is heartbreaking.

It must be said that even if this Xinlingjun's background is not noble enough, he can survive well with this face alone...

However, even if you have a high appearance and are not happy, you still have to pay a little discount on your appearance.

Wei Wuji is in a bad mood now, even though he just led the Wei army to a great victory that had been a long-lost for Wei, and he defeated a number one power like Qin.

A sound of footsteps sounded behind Wei Wuji and slowly approached.

It was Zhong Cheng who came.

The young general of Wei was wearing a neat set of armor. His waist was straight when he walked. The friction of the armor leaves was clearly heard even dozens of meters away.

Zhong Cheng came to Wei Wuji and saluted Wei Wuji: "General!"

Wei Wuji turned his head and glanced at Zhong Cheng, with a look of admiration on his face.

Wei Wuji was quite satisfied with this old friend's son.

During the many battles over these days, Zhong Cheng proved with practical actions and victory after victory that he indeed had the potential to become a general.

Wei Wuji asked, "How about the army march?"

Zhong Chengdao: "The last one is leaving the city, and it will only last half a quarter of an hour at most."

Wei Wuji nodded and said to Zhong Cheng: "Serious, since that's the case, you will lead your troops back to Daliang."

As he said that, Wei Wuji took out the military talisman symbolizing the military power of Wei from his hand and placed it in Zhong Cheng's hand.

Zhong Cheng was shocked: "What does the general mean? Could it be that the general did not lead the army to turn around the beam?"

Wei Wuji smiled and said in a helpless tone: "I steal the talisman first and kill Jin Bi later. All I do is not the way of a minister. How do you see the king?"

Zhong Cheng obviously did not expect such a situation at all, and subconsciously refused: "How should we bear this responsibility? If we lead the troops rashly, we may be blamed by the generals, and it will be unfair."

Wei Wuji patted Zhong Cheng's shoulder and said, "You have a tiger talisman in your hand, why are you afraid of others? Besides, I have already killed him by Jin Bi, so I will lead the army to go."

Zhong Cheng seemed to be a little unwilling to give up and said, "The General went on an expedition to defeat the Qin army first, and then returned to the territory of Tao County. He was the prince and was a brother to the king. Even if there was a little misunderstanding, I believe the king could understand it."

"Understand?" Wei Wuji couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this.

If King Wei could really understand Wei Wuji, why would Wei Wuji do something like stealing talismans and killing Jin Bi?

But Wei Wuji did not regret it.

Because from the beginning, Wei Wuji was not for himself, but for the Wei Kingdom!

As long as Wei State can continue to survive or even become stronger, Wei Wuji is willing to do anything, even if he offends his own brother, King Wei, will do whatever he wants.

Judging from the results, Wei Wuji's action this time has indeed achieved great results.

With the failure of the Qin army on the Changping battlefield, Zhao State, which annexed almost the entire Shangdang County, is now a veritable overlord country.

Wei Wuji thought that at least in the next ten years, the battle for overthrowing in Qin and Zhao should be the main theme of the entire Chinese land.

Under such circumstances, Wei, which was originally overwhelmed by Qin, had diplomatic space and opportunities to get along with others.

As long as the operation is done, the Wei Kingdom actually has a great chance to rise again.

But those things seem to have nothing to do with Wei Wuji.

Wei Wuji let out a long sigh, looked at Zhong Cheng with a look of hope in front of him, and slowly spoke: "I really can't go back to Wei."

Zhong Cheng's face showed an extremely disappointed look.

For the young Zhong Cheng, he really admired this Xinling Jun from the bottom of his heart.

And it was not just worshipping, but Zhong Cheng knew very well that his father was nominally Wei Wuji's political enemy, but in fact he was Wei Wuji's secret ally.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Zhong Cheng betrayed Jin Bi at a critical moment and accomplished Wei Wuji's power seizure.

Not only that, over the past few days, Zhong Cheng has also received a lot of advice from Wei Wuji by his words and deeds.

For Zhong Cheng now, Wei Wuji is equivalent to his teacher, friend and boss.

After personally experiencing Wei Wuji's personal charm and military management ability, Zhong Cheng deeply felt that the State of Wei could not be without Xinlingjun.

So Zhong Cheng planned to persuade Wei Wuji to return to the country, but unfortunately Wei Wuji had made up his mind and Zhong Cheng's persuasion was destined to be futile.

Zhong Cheng looked at Wei Wuji and asked, "Since the general does not want to return to Daliang, where will he want to go?"

Wei Wuji did not hesitate at all and quickly gave the answer: "My family is all in Handan, so I should go to Handan and his entourage."

"Handan?" Zhong Cheng looked at Wei Wuji in surprise and said, "Does the General want to submit to Zhao Wangdan? However, Zhao Wangdan is young and promising, and is indeed a worthy monarch."

Don’t be surprised that Zhong Cheng was so tolerant of Wei Wuji’s submission to Zhao State. In this era, scholars’ minds were companies. A young man like Wei Wuji to submission to Zhao State is actually just the younger brother of a company boss to work in another company.

Like Tian Wen, the four gentlemen, as the prince of Qi, he also served as prime minister in Qin and Wei, so although this kind of thing is not common, it is still acceptable.

"I'm going to serve the King of Zhao?" Wei Wuji couldn't help laughing when he heard this. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I'm in Wei, how can I apply for the rituals of the kings of other countries? I'm going to be just a small reunion with my family. As for the future, it's not known at this time."

Zhong Cheng looked at Wei Wuji, who was calm but extremely determined, and knew that he could not persuade the Xinling Jun again, so he stopped talking and saluted Wei Wuji: "General, take care of him!"

After saying this, Zhong Cheng turned around and left without looking back.

Seeing Zhong Cheng's back gradually disappearing from his sight, Wei Wuji sighed softly.

"If you have a home, you can't go back, if you have a country, you can't return. What can you do?"

Wei Wuji turned his head and said to a man who had been waiting around him for a long time: "Let's go too."
