Chapter 109: Soldiers sent to Hanoi

Wei State, Daliang

The State of Wei was also attacked by the cold winter, and Daliang was also empty, with only the schoolyard outside the city, which was in full swing. Jin Bi was leading the soldiers to practice, and the sound of killing soared into the sky. Even Zhao Sheng in Daliang City could often hear the faint roar. Zhao Sheng sat in the inner room, looking at the King of Wei in front of him with a expressionless face. He had been thrown in the State of Wei for a while by Pang Gong. The King of Wei did not dare to really treat him as a proton, but he was also placed under house arrest in disguise.

First, he left Zhao Sheng in the palace for reminiscing about the past. After staying for a while, he arranged a new house for him. The owner of this house was Duan Ganzi, the prime minister of Wei. Zhao Sheng has many friends. He can find people who are willing to help him, whether in Zhao or other countries. However, Zhao Sheng also hates two kinds of people. The first is a person who is incapable, and the second is a despicable villain.

Just so happened that the owner of this house, Duan Ganzi, perfectly met these two conditions of Zhao Sheng.

Lou Chang is the only person Zhao Sheng hates in Zhao, but despite this, Zhao Sheng also admires his talent. Lou Chang is a good player in case-making. If he ignores his flattery, the cases he tried in Zhao can be considered fair and just. He is familiar with the law and can speak eloquently, and can only be considered a despicable villain, but Duan Ganzi is a purely incompetent villain.

He even made no contributions, and with his ancestors' glory, he became the confidant of the King of Wei.

His ancestor Duan Ganmu was a despicable person when he was young and had a bad reputation. He met Zixia at the age of 30 and studied with him. Later, Wei Wenhou heard about his reputation and wanted to recruit him. Duan Ganmu was unwilling to go into politics. Whenever Wei Wenhou came to find him, he would climb over the wall to escape. Wei Wenhou came many times, and Duan Ganmu was moved by him and came to assist him.

Wei Wenhou regarded him as his teacher. At that time, Qin wanted to conquer Wei. As soon as he sent troops, someone told the King of Qin: Wei Jun was respectful to the wise and humble, and Duan Ganmu assisted the government. The people of the country were united and must not act rashly. The King of Qin immediately withdrew his troops, and Wei Wenhou also opened up a prosperous era of Wei, which was the most glorious period of Wei. Because of this, until now, the Wei people are obsessed with Duan Ganmu and respected them very much.

However, Duan Ganzi did not have the talent to learn his ancestors, but he only inherited the despicableness of his ancestors when they were young.

When Qin was attacking Wei, he spent a lot of money to spread the news that the King of Qin withdrew his troops because of Duan Ganmu all over the country, and bribed the ministers to recommend him to the King of Wei. When the King of Wei heard this, he was overjoyed and called Duan Ganzi over. Duan Ganzi had already spent money to get the King of Wei's favor from those who served the King of Wei, and deliberately catered to him, so he became the King of Wei's confidant. However, after he became the prime minister, he did not give any advice, and could not even do anything.

Facing the powerful Qin people, he said: As long as the Qin people heard about my reputation, they will definitely be scared. When we send a few more cities to the Qin people, the Qin people will definitely withdraw their troops.

So, the King of Wei ceded land and begged for mercy, and Qin retreated, Duan Ganzi thought he was no less than his ancestors. When he told Zhao Sheng about his great achievements, Zhao Sheng could hardly help but beat him.

If Duan Ganmu knew about your behavior, he would probably jump out of the cemetery and strangle you to death.

Therefore, Zhao Sheng and Duan Ganmu were not happy. The two often quarreled, and there were fighting between the guests. The King of Wei sat in front of Zhao Sheng, looked at Duan Ganzi with a smile on his face, and then said to Zhao Sheng: "Pingyuan Jun, my army will go to Zhao State to rescue tomorrow, with Jin Bi as the general and Xinling Jun as the deputy general, and marched into Zhongmu with 100,000 soldiers. I wonder what benefits Zhao State can give to Wei State?"

Zhao Sheng's face became a little gloomy, and he said angrily: "You can ask the envoy of Zhao State or ask Zhao Jun, what can I promise you? Even if I promise, can Zhao State admit it?"

The King of Wei laughed and said, "You are the Zhongfu of Zhao, and the wise man of Zhao. Now you are the only one of Zhao people in Daliang. Of course, I can only discuss this matter with you. How could Zhao not admit the promise of a wise man like you?"

"What do you want?"

"Wei State needs to regain all the land occupied by Qin State."

“It’s natural.”

"In addition, Zhao needs to take out Zhongmu as a thank you to Wei."

Zhao Sheng suddenly laughed. He instantly understood that the King of Wei was finding an excuse for Zhongmu. Zhao State would not admit his promise. However, the Wei State had a good excuse to occupy. The excuse was Zhao Sheng's promise. No wonder the King of Wei left himself here these days. Duan Ganzi, a villain, dared to be so arrogant. Zhao Sheng shook his head and said, "In this way, I will give you a promise. When the Qin people are repelled, Zhao State will bow to Wei State to surrender. What do you think?"

The King of Wei was stunned, and then smiled and said, "I don't mean to force you. I just thought that if the soldiers of Wei could be stationed in Zhongmu, Zhao and Wei would be defended together, the Qin people would not dare to advance east easily. This is for the safety of Zhao and Wei." Zhao Sheng sneered and said, "If I don't make this promise to you, your soldiers would not leave Daliang. Is that true?"

The King of Wei just looked at Zhao Sheng and said nothing.

Zhao Sheng then said, "That's it. Maybe when the Qin people destroy Zhao State, you can ask Bai Qi to give you a promise. I can't give this promise, you can go and ask Bai Qi for it."

"Shut up! How dare you threaten my monarch in front of me?!" Duan Ganzi pulled out his short sword and headed towards Zhao Sheng. Zhao Sheng laughed again. He looked at the King of Wei and said seriously: "Why don't I make such a promise to you. When Zhao Wei defeats Qin, I can help you get rid of the traitors around you as a reward for Wei. What do you think?"

The King of Wei snorted coldly, stood up, and left. Duan Ganzi hurriedly followed King Wei. The two walked out of the courtyard and saw Long Yangjun driving outside. King Wei got in the car, while Duan Ganzi followed aside, and the carriage drove towards the palace. Long Yangjun asked, "He didn't agree?", King Wei did not answer, but Duan Ganzi said angrily: "He even threatened Lord Jun. I think it's better not to send troops for the time being..."

"No!" Long Yangjun said hurriedly: "Bai Qi has defeated Lian Po, and the Zhao people can only defend the Great Wall. If it is delayed, I am afraid that the Zhao people will be destroyed due to insufficient food and grass. At that time, will you stop Bai Qi?" Duan Ganzi said with disdain and said: "What is Bai Qi? If Shangjun regards me as a general, I can cut off his head and give it to Shangjun."

The King of Wei glanced at him, then looked at Long Yangjun in front of him, and asked, "What should I do now?"

Long Yangjun focused on the road ahead and said seriously: "Please reward the soldiers, invite Jin Bi and Xinling Jun to send troops to rescue tomorrow." The King of Wei pondered for a moment before asking: "Where is the troops sent?"

"It is enough to hand over the soldiers to Jin Bi and Xinling Jun to give them the order to defeat the Qin people. I am not proficient in war, but I know that Jin Bi and Xinling Jun are generals of Wei and can be trusted."

The King of Wei nodded and agreed.

That night, in the palace, the King of Wei warmly invited Jin Bi and Xinling Jun. Jin Bi was not good at speaking and just ate and drank, so the King of Wei started chatting with Xinling Jun. The two brothers had not met for a long time. When we met at this moment, the King of Wei held Xinling Jun's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, and even talked about the past, even burst into tears. However, Xinling Jun just looked at his brother quietly, without saying a word. The King of Wei asked, and he replied.

Zhao Sheng in the distance looked at the brothers, not knowing what he remembered, and poured himself a lot of wine.

The next day, Jin Bi led a 100,000 army, left Daliang and sent troops to Hanoi.

Not long after, the Wei State sent troops to Zhao Great Wall.
