After hearing Zheng Zhu's words, Wei Wuji remained silent for a long time.

Zheng Zhu didn't urge him. After saying that, he sat aside leisurely, waiting for Wei Wuji's reply.

In Zheng Zhu's opinion, Wei Wuji must surrender.

After all, before setting out from Handan this time, Zheng Zhu saw Zhao Dan's face so gloomy for the first time.

Who is Zhao Dan? Today, Zhao Dan is as famous as King Ji of Qin, and one of the only two overlords in the land of China.

When such a overlord king wants to do something, few people dare to go against his will.

Anyone who dares to disobey must be prepared to die.

In Zheng Zhu's opinion, Wei Wuji was obviously not ready to die, so Wei Wuji would definitely agree to Zhao Dan's request.

Zheng Zhu was not wrong at all.

After only a few breaths, Wei Wuji raised his head and showed a smile on his face: "What the envoy said is very much. I have decided to set off the camp tomorrow and go south to rescue Pengcheng!"

Wei Wuji's tone was very affirmative and relaxed, which surprised Zheng Zhu.

You must know that what Zheng Zhu said just now is very impolite.

Zheng Zhu thought that a person like Wei Wuji, who was highly powerful and arrogant, had to be furious after hearing these words, and then he would realize the huge gap between Wei and Zhao under Zheng Zhu's sharp words. He was forced to agree to the request to withdraw the siege of Taoyi.

But the current situation is completely different from what Zheng Zhu imagined.

But no matter what, since Wei Wuji has agreed to this matter, Zheng Zhu's purpose of coming this time has already achieved.

So Zheng Zhu also stood up very easily, bowed to Wei Wuji and smiled: "Since that's the case, then I'm waiting for the moment when Xinlingjun returns successfully!"

Wei Wuji didn't say much nonsense, so he recruited a confidant general and ordered him to take Zheng Zhu to arrange accommodation.

After a while, the confidant returned to the tent and reported to Wei Wuji: "The envoy has arranged to stay."

Wei Wuji nodded and said to the confidant general, and said, "I have made up my mind. Tomorrow morning, the entire army will set off the camp and rescue Pengcheng. You will immediately give this order to the entire army."

The confidant general was stunned when he heard this order.

After several seconds, the confidant general came to his senses and hurriedly spoke to dissuade him: "General, although the resistance in Taoyi is extremely tenacious, with the combat effectiveness of our army, it can be conquered in only ten days and half a month. Isn't it a failure for the general to choose to withdraw the siege at this time?"

These words are not just dissuasion, but even begin to be questioned.

To be honest, this is somewhat suspicious of being the following.

But Wei Wuji didn't seem to care about this, but looked at the confidant general in front of him with a smile and asked another question: "In your opinion, can Zhao State tolerate Wei State becoming stronger?"

"cannot!"

"Can Qin tolerate the power of Wei?"

"It's not possible either!"

"Then, which country in the world can tolerate the power of Wei?"

“No country!”

Wei Wuji smiled and nodded, agreeing with the answer: "Since that's the case, then you should know that the strength of Wei can only rely on our Wei people to strive for strength, and we should not rely on other countries."

The confidant general looked obviously confused by Wei Wuji's words, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Didn’t it mean that Taoyi was withdrawn? Why did it suddenly lead to the power of Wei State?

Wei Wuji smiled and explained to the confidant patiently: "Now, Zhao State is the overlord of the world and the leader of the Three Jins. The strength of Wei State is difficult for Wei State to be the one who cannot disobey the order of King Zhao."

"But that King Zhao is not the king of Wei, how can he mobilize the Wei army?" Xingfu obviously seemed a little dissatisfied.

Wei Wuji smiled meaningfully and said, "It's all because of Zhao Qiang and Wei Wu."

After a pause, Wei Wuji continued to say to the confidant who was still writing his dissatisfaction on his face: "In fact, even if King Zhao does not send an envoy to come, after conquering Taoyi, I will lead this army south to rescue Pengcheng."

"Why is this?" The confidant was obviously puzzled.

"I have something to ask you. In your opinion, who is stronger and weaker between Qi and Chu?"

"Of course, Qi State is strong and Chu State is weak. Otherwise, how could the Qi army defeat the Chu army in Lanling?"

"No," Wei Wuji nodded in agreement and said, "It is precisely because of this that I cannot let Chu State lose all its defeat in this war."

Qi and Chu are both powerful neighbors of Wei, and since the era of King Huai of Chu, Qi and Chu have begun to take on grudges and hatreds. The Battle of Chuisha and the Five Kingdoms' Attack of Qi have pushed the grudges to a climax. This battle of Lanling added a strong point to the grudges between Qi and Chu.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Qi and Chu to reconcile in a short period of time.

So as long as the strength of Chu and Qi is equal, then these two countries will start war again sooner or later.

If the strength gap is too large, you may not be able to fight.

So since Qi has obviously surpassed Chu, Wei Wuji must find a way to weaken Qi and make Qi become a weak country on the same level as Chu.

Therefore, even without Zhao Dan's forced order, Wei Wuji would still go south to aid Chu.

Of course, Wei Wuji didn't feel that he could defeat the 200,000 Qi army by relying on 20,000 Wei army, but it was still possible to delay the advancement of the Qi army.

Wei Wuji said, and smiled again: "And you don't know anything. This time the envoy of Zhao State came, which was actually a great help to us!"

"Hard?" Although he had tried to keep up with Xinlingjun's ideas, the confidant general was still confused until now during this conversation.

Seeing this, Wei Wuji no longer made things difficult for this poor subordinate, but waved his hand and said to the subordinate: "You can just go and pass the order."

After the confidant general left, Wei Wuji sat alone for a moment and suddenly called out: "Tang Qi."

The next moment, there was a person in the big tent that was clearly empty except Wei Wuji, and he saluted Wei Wuji: "I'm here."

Wei Wuji looked at the intelligence leader who was in charge of the entire intelligence network of Xinling Junfu with a calm gaze: "Is there any detailed work of Qin in my army?"

Zhang Xue nodded with certainty and said, "There are 17 people in total, all of whom are subordinates of the Hou. Do you want to capture them all?"

"No." Wei Wuji smiled and shook his head, and said, "I hope you can let these spies from Qin, Zhao, come to the camp. The news that I will withdraw my troops tomorrow will be transmitted back to Taoyi as soon as possible, and make the people in Taoyi convinced that I was indeed going south to aid Chu."

Tang Qi was silent for a moment and said, "I understand."

The next morning, 20,000 Wei troops set out to leave outside Taoyi City, and headed towards the south without looking back.

That night, five thousand elite troops from Wei suddenly killed a retaliation and attacked Taoyi City in a slackened manner.
