After the Wei Hou issued an edict, the Central Plains region that had just settled down became turbulent again. The army of Changping Camp successively drove out of the city gate and began to siege some cities in Chen.

The surrounding Zheng State's family and even the Zhou Dynasty were full of fear of the mobilization of the Wei army, so they destroyed the two countries of Tang Xiao. Who is the Wei State going to attack?

Zheng Juan and other countries thought they were unlucky people, so they immediately asked for help from the big country behind them, that is, Qi State to the east.

But Qi had already understood the strategic intentions of Wei at this time. After appeased these younger brothers, they made a wall view.

Of course, Qi State was not completely inactive. In Lu and Yuan County, which was captured by Wei State, Qi State's 100,000 troops were also sharpening their swords, although they were preparing to kick in.

Although they were appeased by their elder brother, the small countries below were still a little uneasy. It was not until Wei and Qin people started to fight that they knew that the opponent they were fighting was not them.

On the fifth day of June, the Wei army besieged Xinle City, which was the old capital of Chen State.

In the 18th year of Wei Zhaohou, after Wei Wuji left Changping Pass, he took down Xinle and even drank on the banks of the Mada River, which scared the Zhou people to come hurriedly to reward the army.

However, due to the chaos in Wei at that time, Wei Wuji transferred all the Wei troops outside Changping Pass, allowing these people to follow him to go to Changping Pass to seize power, so places like Xinle were picked up by Qin again.

In the next three years, the Wei State did not fight with Qin in the west because of rest and recuperation, so these places have always been under the occupation of Qin.

Therefore, the revisiting of the Wei army's old place now is actually a sign of regaining lost land. After all, this place has been occupied by them.

For Wei Wuji, there is good news that from the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Guo, he obtained a batch of food and grass, which was enough to bear more than half of the expenses of Wei Wuji's military dispatch of troops.

The occupied Tang Xiao and the two countries have now begun to eliminate the influence of the war and gradually return to normal... If nothing unexpected happens, Tang Xiao and the two places will be able to pay taxes to Wei Wuji's central government next year.

Therefore, Wei Wuji is still very confident in starting this war. Even if the situation is not smooth, he will retreat to Changping Pass, and the losses will not be great.

In Xinle City, the Qin commander stood on the city tower with a cold face. Seeing the Wei army gathering more and more under the city, he felt extremely helpless.

Because of the confrontation with Wei in Minghe, the Qin Dongdaying drew troops from them, and even the highest commander in Xinle City was just him, the commander.

In other words, there are only 3,000 defenders in Xinle City, but judging from the size of the Wei army outside, there are more than 40,000 and 30,000!

"Sir, the Wei army is powerful, please make a decision early!" The army joined the side said. His so-called decision early was actually to ask his boss to escape quickly with his subordinates.

Although many people from Wei have come here now, Xinle has not yet reached the siege, so you can still escape as long as you want to run away.

Although their commander troops were infantrymen, they left nearly 3,000 military horses to them when they transferred their troops and horses, so that they could not defeat them and left the city.

The captain looked at the Wei army in the distance, and the last little defense in his heart was also defeated by his deputy... Yes, he must be unable to beat him, so why not run away?

At first, the captain was thinking about Xiping's reinforcements, but after seeing the increasing number of Wei people, he knew that Xiping would definitely not be able to count on it.

"Sentence..."

When he heard these two words, the army officer next to him felt nervous. He didn't know what order his boss would give.

Then the captain continued: "The whole army gathers, open the west gate and sets off... and leave!"

This made the joining army and the Sima, the captains next to him, relaxed. As long as it was not to die.

Death is not scary, but it is meaningless to hold on like this, and no one wants to die meaningless.

Under the pressure of the Death Captain, the Qin soldiers' actions were much faster than usual, and they all gathered in place within a short while.

Under the leadership of Lord Duwei, this lonely Qin army stationed in Xinle quietly left his base.

Unlike the joy of others escaping, the Qin commander was extremely heavy at this time, because he was going to be charged with escaping in the face of battle, and it would be a dead end if he returned.

Looking at the deputy galloping horse next to him joining the army, the captain said, "Old Zheng, my old and young family will ask you to take care of you in the future!"

Zheng Zhanjun thought for a while before he understood what his boss meant. He wanted to say something comforting, but that seemed hypocritical, so he said, "Sir, my subordinate... understand!"

…………

In Xinle City, the Wei army peacefully entered the city, while the commander Zhang Jun returned to the original coaching hall.

"After four years of separation, I am back!" Zhang Jun stood in the lobby, looking inside and out and said happily.

He was the one who was responsible for guarding Xinle at the beginning. After receiving the order of Wei Wuji, he led his army to abandon Xinle and returned to Changping Pass to help Wei Wuji stabilize the situation.

Perhaps in order to make up for Zhang Jun's regret, the monarch's edict specifically mentioned that he would take over Xinle, and the remaining 40,000 troops headed straight to Xiping County.

This time, the Wei State mobilized 50,000 troops, and only 10,000 troops from Xinle City left him, and the other 20,000 troops would immediately set off for Xiping.

Xiping is a city adjacent to the border between Chen and Qin, and will be the key to confront Qin, so naturally there will be more troops to be dispatched.

…………

Just the day after Zhang Jun took over Xinle, Wang Xiu also led his army to capture Xiping, and the Qin army here also retreated without fighting.

He brought several generals into the city, but Wang Xiu was so happy that he was unsuccessful that he became more heavy.

Because, in the edict of the king, Wang Xiu will preside over the war, which means that he will become the commander of the war.

Although he was walking in the front, Wang Xiu knew very well that the generals behind him were not convinced, so his opponents were not only Qin people.

At this time, the three generals following Wang Xiu were cavalry general Chen Zhan, infantry general Zuo Yuanhu, and infantry general Tieshan.

Needless to say, Chen Zhan is also the one who has been following Wei Wuji for a long time, and Zuo Yuanhu is even the direct line among Wei Wuji's direct line... These two people are also the ones who are the most dissatisfied with Wang Xiu.

Tieshan is impartial. He was a former confidant of Zhaohou. After the new king ascended the throne, he did not deprive him of military power. He was mostly because he would not let himself be involved in the power struggle to cause trouble.

Wang Xiu could think of these things, so Tieshan became the person he tried his best to win over.

Of course, this does not mean that Wang Xiu would treat the other two as enemies. If he blew the conflict in the Ming Dynasty, he would have lost.

Wang Xiu could understand the meaning of the king. Chen Zhan and Zuo Yuanhu were the whetstones for him. If he could suppress the situation, then the unresolved leader of Changping Camp would fall on him without any accident.

At this moment, Wang Xiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart... Master! You respect me so much!

But when Wang Xiu thought of Liu Xuanba, who had now taken over the Xiangping camp, he suddenly felt a sense of pride in his heart. Why can't others do it?

You know, between him and Liu Xuanba, Wang Xiu was even more trustworthy!

Although the two people behind were confidants of the king, why didn’t they be Wang Xiu himself? Not only were they one of the earliest people to recognize the master.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiu couldn't help but tighten the hilt of the sword in his hand. He was ready to face all challenges!

Behind Wang Xiu, Chen Zhan was also staring at the back in front of him, which would be his competitor in the next few years.

In the Changping Camp today, in addition to Zuo Yuanhu who followed him this time, Zhu Xiao and Fang Xuan are both confidants of the king.

But none of these people were his opponents, so he was competing for the leader of Changping Camp, and there was only Wang Xiu, the oldest experienced.

Now it seems that Wang Xiu is ahead, but Chen Zhan is definitely not a person who is willing to give in. He always wants to compete for himself.
