Wei Wuhou

Chapter 769 Duke Qin and Duke Qi

(Everyone, subscribe to comment and let's go!!)

Qindu, Xianyang.

The defeat of the battle with Wei had a huge impact on the entire Qin State. Xianyang City, which used to be bustling, now looks quite depressed.

Right now, Qin State has lost the two counties of Fufeng Northland, and its national strength and military strength have been severely damaged. The people of Wei State are still chasing after them, which makes the faces of Qin people in Xianyang City a little more sad.

Xianyang is the capital of the Qin State. In the past, there were two counties in Fufeng North as a barrier, and there was an army of tens of thousands in Dongdaying. Naturally, it was safe to sit back and relax.

But now that the barriers between the two counties are lost, Xianyang's strategic depth is reduced, and it is directly exposed to the front of the Wei army.

In fact, when the Wei army captured Fufeng County, the Qin people should do everything to stop the Wei army. That might prevent the Wei army from taking the Northland again.

But now, the fall of the two counties has become a fact, and Qin's regrets are over...

So, Duke Qin fell ill. He has been ill for more than ten days until now, and even now it is very difficult to get out of bed.

The ancestors of the Qin State were all pioneers and enterprising people, and this is how they developed from a small country in the west to one of the five largest countries in the world.

The foundation that the ancestors of the past dynasties obtained only through hard work, but now Qin Gong Yingxun has lost the land of two counties. Under the pressure of huge guilt and fear, it is strange that he does not get sick.

And looking at the way Wei Jun acted in these two counties, it can be seen that the other party intends to eat it, rather than retreat after occupying it.

On the sickbed, after drinking the medicinal soup brought by the waiter, Ying Xun asked very weakly, "Where is Ying Ju?"

Until now, Ying Xun still remembers his son, who is also his chosen successor.

Although Yingji lost the battle this time, it was nothing to Yingxun, and it made him firmer in his mind.

Only after experiencing such a catastrophe personally can one truly mature and become a qualified heir to the king.

Of course, another reason is that Ying Xun couldn't find a better heir than Ying Zheng, so he had no choice.

After hearing the monarch's question, the little internal official who served him replied: "Report to your lord, the fifth son is setting up defenses around Xianyang to prevent the Wei army from attacking the Weihe River!"

When will the city of Xianyang be fortified... Thinking of this, Ying Xun feels as if his heart is pierced, he is ashamed of his ancestors!

Therefore, Ying Xun asked again: "Who are the people outside?"

The servant replied: "Your Majesty, the ministers and workers of the court are outside, waiting to be summoned!"

After Qin Gong fell ill, the court meeting was suspended, and only the main ministers were called to discuss matters in the sleeping hall.

Although he was ill, Duke Qin also knew that he had to work, so he said to his servants, "Choose them in!"

The servant nodded yes, then turned around and went outside to deliver the order.

After a while, five ministers rushed in, and when they saw Duke Qin who was already sitting upright on the sick bed, they immediately paid homage and said, "My lord!"

Qin Gong waved his hand slightly, and then said: "Masters, what's the matter today?"

After the courtiers got up, none of them talked about business, and they all cared about Duke Qin's health.

This is also the basic operation of being a courtier. After all, the lord's body is the first, so how can he put the cart before the horse.

After talking nonsense for a long time, Prime Minister Qin stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there is a great joy!"

Duke Qin, who hadn't heard good news for a long time, immediately leaned forward and asked, "What's the matter?"

Then the prime minister said: "Your Majesty, yesterday the five sons led the army to fight fiercely with the Wei army and defeated the Wei army on the west bank of the Wei River!"

Victory in the war should indeed be good news, but Qin Gong couldn't laugh at this time. Wei Jun actually came to the west bank of the Weishui River. When will they come to Xianyang?
After losing Fufeng and Beidi as barriers, Xianyang's embarrassing situation was immediately revealed, which was expected.

But at this time, Duke Qin couldn't show his disappointment. The whole court was already depressed, so he had to boost everyone's confidence.

So Ying Xun praised: "Well, from this point of view, the Wei army is not invincible. As long as our monarchs and ministers are united, we will definitely be able to defeat the Wei people!"

When he got a little excited, Qin Gong couldn't help coughing at this time, causing panic in the hall.

After waving his hands to stop the crowd, Qin Gong continued: "You don't have to worry, I have decided... Tomorrow, the normal dynasty will be restored. With the joint efforts of our monarch and ministers, we will be able to defeat the Wei army!"

The king has such spirit, how can the people below not work hard, so all the ministers said: "The king is wise!"

In this atmosphere, Duke Qin's mood improved a little. After all, anxiety and fear are useless.

Afterwards, Ying Xun continued: "Apart from this matter, what else is there?"

Apart from this matter, the ministers wanted to report something really big, so they heard the prime minister say: "Your Majesty, there is news from Chen Di... saying... Wei Wuji wants to see the Son of Heaven!"

In fact, they didn't want to say this news, because they could all understand what it meant.

On the surface, Wei Wuji's meeting with the emperor was just a simple meeting of the princes, but in fact it was a subversion of the previous rules.

This means that the concept of all the countries working together to suppress the Wei State on the north bank of the Great River has been broken, and it also shows that the Qin State, as the main suppressor, has fallen from the altar of a great power.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, the expression on Duke Qin's face disappeared and turned into a gloomy look.

"The widow has done it, the widow has done it!" Ying Xun said dejectedly, and he collapsed on the bed again.

"Your Majesty, take care of your health. Wei Wuji's pilgrimage to Shangluo is the duty of a prince!" The prime minister could only comfort him in this way.

But these words were exactly what Ying Xun didn't like to hear the most. When he thought of Wei Wuji leading his troops into Shangluo swaggeringly, he felt a burning pain on his face.

Wei Wuji went to Shangluo to show off his martial arts, while he, Qin State, became a stepping stone for others.

Thinking of this, Ying Xun felt more uncomfortable in his chest, so he patted his chest with his hand.

With a sound of "噗呲", Ying Xun actually spit out a mouthful of blood, which made the servants beside him tremble with fear, and immediately shouted the word "Prince Physician".

And all the ministers in the palace were at a loss, the state of Qin was already in turmoil, if there was anything wrong with the king...

…………

Ying Xun vomited blood when he heard the news of Wei Wuji's entry into Shangluo, but Tian Yuwen, who was far away in Linzi, just let out a long sigh after learning of Wei Wuji's trip to Shangluo.

Tian Yuwen is very entangled now, he began to doubt his choice, whether it is right or wrong to stand by and watch.

However, Tian Yuwen was not without benefits. He drove all the forces of the Linzi clan to the northern border, where their fiefdoms were located. These people would become a powerful barrier to defend Wei.

In other words, although Tian Yuwen failed to suppress the family, after such management, he could use the hands of the Wei people to weaken or even destroy the power of the family.

However, this was in exchange for Wei Guo defeating Qin Guo. When the matter was a foregone conclusion, Tian Yuwen would look back and think about whether it was a gain or a loss.

He had been on the throne for several years, and now he really tasted the taste of power, so he told himself in a flash that his choice was right.

But at this time, Tian Yuwen also knew what he was about to face, that was the fierce tiger he had released with his own hands!
After Wei State defeated Qin State, who would be the next target?

Who else but Qi?Tian Yuwen sighed.

Now that the country has been properly arranged by him, Tian Yuwen will never do things that are waiting to die, so he plans to act first.
