Wei Wuhou

Chapter 749

On May [-]th in the fourth year of Marquis Wei, today is the Grand Court Meeting as usual.

At this grand meeting, Wei Wuji generously rewarded the frontline soldiers, which was another huge expense.

For those generals with meritorious service, Wei Wuji raised titles for them respectively, and General Zheng Chang himself was rewarded with a small town in the Xiao Kingdom.

The reward to Zheng Chang was what really excited the officials. This showed that the official implementation of the meritorious rewards mentioned by the monarch before was no longer something that stayed on paper.

Although only a small town in the Xiao Kingdom was rewarded, it was a veritable fiefdom!

So the atmosphere in the court hall was very good, because Wei Wuji not only rewarded the generals, but also rewarded the county guards far away and several capable courtiers in the court hall.

Then the Great Court Meeting ended, which also indicated that the war machine of Wei State, which was running at full capacity, seemed to be able to stop for a rest.

With the demise of the Tang State, the Qin and Wei countries divided their territories as much as possible, and now the Xiao State was officially included in the territory of the Wei State after being demoted.

It can be said that the battle initiated by the Wei State has made a lot of money, and it has won most of the land of the Tang State and the entire land of the Xiao State, which is enough to set up another county.

And at the court meeting just now, Wei Wuji had already brought up the idea of ​​setting up Jinyang County, and left the rest to the people below to do the work.

The reason why it is called Jinyang County instead of Tang County is that it can reduce or even eliminate the influence of Tang State and make this land truly Weidi.

It stands to reason that Wei Guo, who has taken such a big advantage, should calm down, but Wei Wuji is not such a person!
Right after the next dynasty, Wei Wuji called the main civil and military officials to Yongming Palace, and he would consult with these veteran officials as long as it was a major plan.

As a result, Wei Wuji's first sentence shocked the five veterans present.

I just heard Wei Wuji say: "The widow intends to make a big effort to incorporate the entire Chen country into our Great Wei territory. What do you think?"

The area north of Changping Pass in Chen Guo's land is under the control of Wei State, and several counties south of Changping Pass are now in the hands of Qin people.

When the monarch said this at this time, it meant that he was going to start another war... Everyone in the hall thought so.

"Your Majesty, with the continuous battle, I'm afraid that the supply of food and grass will not be enough!" At this time, Prime Minister Guo Liangdong stood up and said.

In fact, food is not enough at any time, so Wei Wuji just listened to Guo Liangdong's words, but did not express his opinion.

On the contrary, Xu Anhong, who was in charge of mobilizing food and grass, said: "Your Majesty, in terms of food and grass, as long as the counties are a little tighter, it will not be a big problem to even out the needs..."

"What I am worried about is that I, the Great Wei, took down the Tang Kingdom, and now I am attacking Chen... If the four kingdoms are attracted to join forces again, I am afraid that they will return in vain!"

Xu Anhong's words were very insightful, and Wei Wuji knew that he had to answer this question, so he said, "What Xu Zhuguo said is true!"

"The four countries join forces, but we, Great Wei, are not the enemy, but don't you all know what the situation of Chu and Wu in the south is?" Wei Wuji asked in turn.

Now that the Chu and Wu countries in the south are out of their wits, it is unrealistic to ask them to stop now, not to mention joining hands to conquer Wei.

Wei Wuji could see clearly that the Chu lord in the south had the same thoughts as himself, and that he couldn't get along with other countries, only a few countries would be missing.

So Chu State is now fighting with Wu State, in fact, it has already started to destroy Wu State, just like Wei Wuji's attack on the land of Tang and Chen, the real purpose behind it is to destroy Qin State.

Why did Chu choose to attack Wu now?That's because Wu Guocai had a fight with Qi Guo, so naturally he wanted to beat him when his national strength was depleted.

And why Wei Wuji wanted to destroy the Qin State, it was because the Qin State ended the Qiang Rebellion, and its strength was also weakened, and Wei State had been cultivated for three years.

Therefore, Wei Wuji believed that Chu State in the south definitely wanted to attack Qin State by himself, so that he could concentrate on destroying Wu State.

Everyone in the world knows that Wei State is the top power, but it ignores that Chu State is also the second largest country among the five major countries, and Chu State also has ambitions.

After talking about what I thought to the courtiers below, there was silence in the hall...

Although no one spoke out against it, it can also be said that there was no one to support it, and it was a silent protest!

Although Wei Wuji planned it very well, but the people present were not three-year-olds, and the matter was so simple.

He then heard Guo Liangdong say: "Although what your majesty said is reasonable, I think...the land of Tang is still in a state of instability. If we attack Chen Guo rashly now, I am afraid that we will lose sight of the other!"

These words are euphemistically telling Wei Wuji not to be too greedy, but Wei Wuji is not so easy to be persuaded.

"Xiguan Camp and Changping Camp now have nearly 20 troops, how can the situation be destabilized?" Wei Wuji said with a smile.

But at this time, Xu Anhong came out and said: "Your Majesty, Qin is also a big country with strong national strength... If the persecution is too tight, it may provoke a full-scale war!"

This is the root of the matter. The generals of the Wei State who have fought a hundred battles are not yet ready for a full-scale war with the Qin State.

Including the civil servants in the country, taking down the dangerous pass like Changping Pass, taking down the land of Tang State and Chen State, and guarding against the barbarians in the north... these are enough for them to be satisfied.

Although everyone has the idea of ​​unifying the world, they have never been ready to implement it, so when Wei Wuji's proposal will cause the two great powers to fight, these generals and ministers will instinctively resist.

Wei Wuji can see clearly, but it doesn't mean that these generals and ministers can see clearly, so Wei Wuji can only change them little by little.

Times are advancing and times are changing, and people's ideas should also keep pace with the times... Chu State has done better in this regard, because they have directly engaged with Wu State.

Wei Wuji smiled, and then said: "It's true that Qin is a big country, but how many troops does Qin have? There are less than 30 soldiers in the whole country. Can he send 20 to confront our army?"

"If this is the case, the Qiang people in the northwest will probably wake up laughing, not to mention that they still need troops to defend the Chu State in the south!"

Yes, the reason why our country can become the top power is that the number of troops is [-] more than that of Qin.

But at this time, Xu Anhong said: "Your Majesty, if the Qi State in the east takes this opportunity to attack our Great Wei, what should we do?"

Qi State claims to have 30 armored men. Although its strength is weaker than that of Wei State, it is definitely not to be underestimated.

This is the rhythm of the debate!Wei Wuji thought so.

So he said: "Although the Qi State is strong, the Xiangping camp now has more than [-] troops, and it is not a problem to guard against the natural danger of the river!"

Furthermore, it is impossible for the Qi State to mobilize its entire army at this time. At this time, they can send 15 soldiers to support Qin State, which is beyond their capabilities.

Wei Wuji took this into consideration, so when he was recuperating a few years ago, the battle between Wei and Qi also stopped, in order to hold back Qi's national strength.

Moreover, the state of Qi is different from that of Wei, Chu and Qin. Tian Yuwen has not been able to fully control the court during the years he has been on the throne, which also makes it difficult for Qi to go all out.

This point can be seen from the war between Chu and Wu. After defeating Wu and taking Xu, Qi actually chose to retreat completely instead of joining forces with Chu to destroy Wu.

It's not that Tian Yuwen doesn't want to, it's that the people of the Linzi family tied his hands and feet, so he can't make great achievements before that.

Only when Qi is in danger, can the monarch and ministers suppress the contradictions and resist foreign humiliation with one heart and one mind.

So Wei Wuji even guessed that Tian Yuwen might wish he could fight the people of Qin, so that he could concentrate on dealing with domestic opponents.

Everyone wanted to say more, but Wei Wuji waved his hand and said, "Everyone, I have made up my mind, so let's go on our own! This time the army needs a lot of money to go on an expedition, and it needs to be coordinated by all of you!"

The monarch issued an order to expel the guests, and everyone felt a little helpless. They knew that they could not change the monarch's mind.

So they can only change their mentality, do things well and do the things assigned by the monarch well, or try their best to avoid bad results from happening.

"Retire!" All the ministers bowed to Wei Wuji.
