Wei Wuhou

Chapter 522

(It’s really inconvenient during the Chinese New Year, so it’s only been a few days, we’ll make it up slowly!! Thank you for your continuous support!!)
As time passed, the disputes that were forced to stop in the cold of winter reappeared in time.

In the east, Qi State Shangxin finally stopped the internal struggle under the serious external aggression.

And whether the new king of Qi can re-establish his authority depends on whether Tian Yuwen can solve the crisis in Qi in this new year.There is the tiger wolf Wei state in the north, and the difficult Wu people in the south, but the crisis of Qi state is not so easy to solve.

And as the temperature rises, the gunpowder smoke that has not subsided for a long time in the hinterland of the Central Plains is now also showing a tendency to descend.

The Qin and Chu troops stationed in Xinle, Chendu, frequently mobilized in Chendi after the beginning of spring, and continued to increase their troops in the rear.

Not only that, Qin State also frequently performed martial arts on the west side of Xiguan, which borders Qin Wei, which made the situation in the southwest of Wei State even more tense.

The nearby small countries are even more anxious, because from the beginning of the decline of the royal power of the Zhou family to the present, too many vassal states have disappeared in time.

Even so, the situation is not too critical for Wei Guo. There are dangerous barriers on both sides of the southwest, and it is extremely difficult for Qin and Chu to break through.

And there is no need to worry about the resistance of the Qi people. The small country at the border of Qi and Wu has long been coveted. Since fighting with the old enemy Chu for so many years has not brought much benefit, it is better to take advantage of this opportunity. Qi State.

Therefore, facing Qi State, Wei State actually has Wu State as a helper, not to mention that Wei State's army is still on Qi State's land.

And war can be said to be the only theme of this era, and it is no exception in the northern border of Wei State. The Huns who have been dormant for more than half a year... have begun to move again.

This is the most profound experience in Guihua City, the front line of the Wei army. The scouts scattered every day will report back, saying that the headquarters of the Huns and the vassal tribes are mobilizing supplies and troops.

The vast grassland area north of the Heishui River has entered a wartime state. According to news from the Iron Forest Department, the Huns have made up their minds this time to pull out Guihua City, which is wedged into the grassland. thought.

This news was also grasped by Lingbei Daying, so while many people breathed a sigh of relief, they also took pleasure in other people's misfortune.

Fortunately, according to past practice, Guihua City was constantly replenishing food and grass during the half-year truce, and now the reserves can last for more than three months, which can be used for long-term defense.

After continuous rush work, Wei Wuji's own new heavy cavalry was equipped at the end of May. Now the iron factory is producing iron light cavalry armor and sabers while producing spare heavy armor.

This is also something that has been planned before. The armor style and the size of the saber have been strictly designed and tested, and now they only need to produce according to plan.

The inherent speed deficiency and lack of endurance of heavy cavalry require light cavalry to make up for it.

The great war is about to start, and when the lord gives an order, someone will go forward and write battle songs with blood on this grassland.

…………

In the middle of May, Wei Wuji went back to Jingbei City once. At this time, Cao Xin had been back home for more than a month, and Wei Wuji only went back to see her at this time.

The women who greeted Wei Wuji this time were still those three women, but Cao Xin and Huan'er had their big bellies raised.

She was conceived in October, and now it has been nearly six months, and the two of them have started to have difficulty walking, and they need the help of servants.

The stomach is filled with his own children, which makes Wei Wuji, who has been a man for two lifetimes but has never been a father, be excited but also a little apprehensive.

Although he really wanted to have his own children, it was a desire arising from the competition of interests. In essence, Wei Wuji didn't think he was mature enough to take on the responsibility of being a father.

But life is a process of constantly maturing, but sometimes I don't even realize that I am mature enough.

After living in the mansion for more than ten days, Wei Wuji had no choice but to leave his family and rush to the cold and bloody battlefield again.

Before that, he also went to Lingbei Camp for a very clear purpose, which was to ask Chen Wanyun for another batch of weapons and armor.

In fact, the current accumulation in Guihua City is what Wei Wuji keeps coming, otherwise, according to the thoughts of the high officials in the court, how could he be given the most possible chance.

However, the safety of the Great Wall is the top priority after all, once it falls...then combined with Qin Chu's offensive, the situation of Wei State will be reversed immediately.

The Huns who broke through the Great Wall would be more terrifying than the Qin and Chu troops who invaded the Wei territory. It was true that blood flowed into rivers and corpses littered the fields.

Therefore, intermittently, Guihua City still prepared defensive materials for fighting against the Huns.

After all, Wei Wuji, who is outside the Great Wall, no matter how big he is, his lifeline is still held in the hands of the court princes of Wei State.

Using Wei Wuji to resist the Huns is even a matter of killing two birds with one stone, so why not do it.

Finally, after ordering another batch of armor and weapons, Wei Wuji left the Great Wall with satisfaction and rushed to Guihua City.

On the grassland where there were caravans some time ago, there was no sign of them at all at this time.It can be said that sometimes the whereabouts of merchants are also a predictor of the beginning of the war.

And it was precisely because of his little understanding of merchants that Wei Wuji discovered a not-so-secret fact that most of these caravans were doing business with Donghu people.

As the old overlord of the prairie, although they are now attached to the Huns, the Donghu people still have strong power, which allows them to protect themselves in the war and stay in a corner.

Donghu, who was able to maintain stability to the greatest extent, naturally became the best partner of merchants, and the prosperity of business also supported Donghu to a certain extent, and was able to continue to fight against the Huns.

It was precisely because of this understanding that Wei Wuji discovered that the best way to connect with Donghu people in the future is to negotiate through these merchants.

Don't forget that Wei Wuji, who now controls the grasslands in Hanoi, has already controlled the business routes through which Donghu people contact the Central Plains.

But when it comes to this time, we have to talk about the one thing that gave Wei Wuji a headache, and that was the original brothers and sisters who were still in his hands.

If the two of them were grateful to him at the beginning, now there is only hatred, and Wu Yunzhu is the most prominent.

Fortunately, now is not the time to get in touch with Donghu people, so Wei Wuji doesn't have to worry about how to appease these two people for the time being.

What he can do now is to place these two people in Jingbei City, no longer restrict their freedom, and instead monitor them.

So, with a stomach full of worries, Wei Wuji returned to Guihua City, which would be his only stage for the next few months.

It was noon when we returned to Guihua City. Although we had been on the road for two consecutive days, it didn't mean that Wei Wuji could rest at this time.

After entering the yamen, Wei Wuji asked Zhou Yan who greeted him, and the first thing he said was: Are everyone invited?
And Zhou Yan also quickly entered the state of secretary, followed Wei Wuji and replied: "According to the son's order, except for a few rebellious ones, everyone else is waiting outside Guihua City to be summoned by you!"

"Is there anyone else who dare not come?" Wei Wuji asked back.

Zhou Yangong bowed his body, and then said: "According to the young master's order, the subordinate still invited them here!"

Wei Wuji smiled, and then said: "Well, there is no need to choose another time, let's go meet them now!"

Zhou Yan originally wanted to persuade Wei Wuji to rest, but seeing his young master's resolute appearance, he also stopped thinking about it.

After all, time is pressing now, and early arrangements will be more guaranteed. Naturally, Wei Wuji's urgency is justified.
