After inquiring carefully, and making sure that those people already knew what they were and why, Hu Feizi wrote some more things for them to give to Qu Jiang.

There are still a lot of things to deal with, the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, the relocation of people, and the food affairs all need to be adjusted and presided over by him, and it should take some time for the people from Sishang to arrive.

A few days later, General Qu's army entered Handan, and the Handan peasant soldiers also regrouped, but they did not move in Handan, but only sent scouts.

Ximen Leopard has returned to Ye with the army, the summer has passed, and it is about to be the time of the autumn harvest, Wei and Zhao have been unable to fight, because this battle started suddenly, and Wei must win quickly and quickly, but unfortunately Handan was not captured, and Zhongmu was still in the hands of the Zhao people.

Hu Feizi and Qu General did not move in Handan, Ximen Leopard gave way to the flank of the Wei army in Zhangshui, and the Wei army in Zhangshui could only choose to move closer to the Xihe pawn led by Uncle Acne.

Zhongmu is still besieged, but there is no possibility of breaking the city for the time being, and under the stalemate, whether to continue to fight or not can only depend on Wei Zheng's attitude.

…………

Weidu.

Wei Zhen hatefully tore Ximen Leopard's plea to shreds, and his irrepressible anger was about to erupt.

Now the whole Wei state is quietly talking about one thing, comparing Wei Zhen with his father Wei Si, and the Qiu Guan, who is in charge of the people's speech, will send some complaints in the market from time to time, and Wei Zhen will not tire of it.

Wei Zhen sometimes couldn't help but have some dark thoughts in his heart, thinking that his father was dead, if his father didn't die, in the face of such a situation, he was afraid that he might not be better than himself.

It's not that I lack intelligence and ability, but that I don't have the right time.

When he was angry, the eunuch came again and said: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Mo family asks to see you again." ”

Wei Zhen said angrily: "I don't see you today!" ”

The resentment against the Mo family in his heart is beyond measure, and it is simply a nightmare that has haunted him for more than ten years.

At the beginning, he withdrew his troops in Niu Langyi because of the death of Zhao Hou and Han Hou, but it was the Mo family who guarded Niu Langyi.

His withdrawal, in exchange for the contrast of Wu Qi's victory in Daliang, made the proud and invincible he suffer a comparative defeat for the first time.

When he easily survived his father, he was ready to show his strength, but he was constrained by the Mo family everywhere.

The Mo family on the Sishang side intervened, and in the first battle against Chu, the new army trained by the Mo people who came out of the country defeated Wang Ziding, and it was difficult for the Wei State to make progress.

On the side of Zhao State, the Mo family went into battle shirtless, confronted Wei directly, and fought against the inheritance of Zhao State.

If Zhongshan was instigated and provided by the Mohists, how could it be restored?

Now the envoys of the Mo family are like flies, asking for a meeting every day, constantly lobbying in the city, and the whole Wei State has no interest in continuing to fight.

Wei Zhen understood that he couldn't fight anymore.

However, this is a strategy laid out by oneself, and at this time the truce is not a proof of one's stupidity?

Ximen Leopard withdrew his troops without authorization, and he also understood that Ximen Leopard was not to blame for this matter, if he did not withdraw his troops, the armies of Handan and Gao Liu would be enough to annihilate the peasant soldiers in the hands of Ximen Leopard who wanted to return to their hometowns.

Withdrawing, you can always retain your strength, leaving enough advantages for the future confrontation between Wei and Zhao: Ye's position, whether it is against Handan or Zhongmu, is the front line, and if it is completely destroyed in a battle, Wei Zhao's advantage against Wei will be completely lost.

Ximen Leopard also said that it is impossible for the Mo family to save Zhongmu, and it is impossible to give Wei a chance to wait for work, the army gathers at the foot of Taihang Mountain, and the supply of grain and grass is a huge burden for Wei, even if there is a foundation left by the Wenhou era, it can no longer hold on.

The state of Chu also sent an envoy, saying that Daliang and Yuguan are the land of the state of Chu since ancient times, and the first king of the blue wisp of the road is a land of size, and he does not dare to abandon it, and if the state of Wei is not returned, then the prince will send troops as soon as the matter is settled.

It was also rumored that the Mo family was going to reach a trade with the Chu State for about 30 copper cannons and 5,000 muskets in exchange for the copper of the Chu State.

It's really getting to the point where you can't fight.

In the first battle of the Qi Kingdom, the Yishi of the Mo family showed great strength, so strong that even if there is no prince, he can still be equal to the strength of other countries.

The attitude of the Mo family is now very ambiguous, the Mo family said that they want to restrain the troops of various countries, and once the affairs of the Zhao State are not resolved, the Mo family will soon be able to organize an anti-Wei alliance.

Qin has Xihe hatred, Chu has Liang resentment, Zhao has inheritance rights, and Zhongshan has the feelings of restoration.

On the other hand, on the Wei side, it is too difficult for Wei to break the game.

The state of Qi was crippled, and it was impossible to use troops again for five years; All South Korea wants is Zheng Guo, and although it may join the Wei alliance in the face of the threat of Chu, Zheng Guo will definitely join the anti-Wei alliance.

Wei's traditional ally, Yue, was too busy to take care of himself, and it was impossible for him to participate in the Central Plains affair.

Wei Zhen has already moved his mind to negotiate peace, but there must be a reason to retreat, otherwise he, the king, will bear the infamy of stupidity.

He looked at Simon Leopard's plea in his hand, sighed, and regretted it a little.

"If Wu Qi is still in Xihe, Leyang still leads Zhongshan...... Why? ”

It's just that these words of regret can only circulate in your own heart, and it is difficult to say to others after all.

He was a monarch and a proud son, but he was the son of a powerful father whose name was praised and who expanded his territory and was equal to hegemony.

There is some face, he can't put down.

When it was difficult to decide, the eunuch entered again and presented a letter: "A letter from Xiangguo in the army. ”

Wei Zhen grabbed a straw like a person who was about to drown, and before he could test it, he immediately dismantled it.

After reading it, the color of his face did not improve, he was silent, and after a while, he slapped the case angrily, and he was furious.

The content of the letter is all state affairs, and they are all ideas on how to be better for Wei, but it does not give a way for him, the Marquis of Wei, to maintain face.

In the letter, Uncle Gong's thoughts were similar to those of Simon Leopard, and they all decided to retire from the army and didn't want to fight anymore.

This is not the reason for Wei Zheng's anger, but now, it is the most beneficial choice for Wei to come to this point, give up the Gongzi Dynasty and make peace with Zhao Guo.

But...... Uncle Gong was acne at the back of the letter, but suggested that Wei Zheng take the initiative to propose to Zhou Tianzi that the Mo family be named after the peace.

In the letter, Uncle Acne believed that it was impossible for the Mo family to accept the identity of this marquis.

Zhou Tianzi has always been subject to the Wei State, and now that the Mo family has become a power, it is already a fact whether he admits it or not.

Uncle Gong believes that this time the soldiers are not only involved between Wei and Zhao, but also the affairs of Korea, Zheng, Chu, and Qi.

When the time comes, Zhou Tianzi will admit the Mo family as the marquis, but the Mo family will definitely not accept it.

If the Mo family accepts it, then the morality of the Mo family will be completely useless, and it will be difficult to justify itself.

And at that time, if you don't accept it, the Son of Heaven will be furious, and then the Wei State can use the order of the Son of Heaven to order the princes to counterattack the Mo family in the future.

Especially when the Mo family will definitely judge Qi Gongzi Wu, when the Mo family does not accept the Son of Heaven to seal the marquis, and judges the prince of Qi State, then the world will inevitably be shaken.

Now that the scholars of Wei are withering and the world is shaking, many scholars and nobles with courtesy and righteousness will come to Wei to attract those who are dissatisfied with the rudeness of the Mo family.

The Mo family is equivalent to announcing that they will fight against the Son of Heaven system, which will make many nobles completely dissatisfied with the Mo family.

This is precisely the retreat of the advance.

I have to say that this method is good, and it is also beneficial to the Wei State, and if the Wei State does this, it will make the Mo family fall into passivity.

At that time, under the mandate and rules of heaven for hundreds of years, the Mo family's behavior will be completely kingless and fatherless.

However...... There's not one thing in mind.

Wei Bang's face!

Wei Zhen begged the Son of Heaven to be the marquis for the Tian clan of Qi State, which was a violent beating of Qi State when he fought with Qi State, Tian admitted defeat, offered gifts, and secretly respected Wei Strike as a tyrant.

Wei Zhen is with the power of Dasheng, which can be regarded as a kind of mentality given to the Tian family: the Son of Heaven listens to me, I let you be, and you can be.

But what is the situation now?

was beaten by the Mo family on all sides, and then took the initiative to ask for the marquis for the Mo family?

What does this make the world think?

Will people in the world say that Wei Zhen was frightened by the Mo family and couldn't beat the Mo family, so he flattered the Mo family?

This is absolutely unacceptable to him.

Uncle Acne is indeed seeking the country, but he doesn't take into account his face as a prince at all, how can this be accepted?

After being angry, Wei Zhen read Uncle Acne's letter again, and suddenly thought of something in his heart, and couldn't help but look up and smile.

Uncle Acne's letter reminded him.

Withdraw the army yourself, if it weren't for the fact that you can't fight anymore?

What if the Son of Heaven thinks that Zhao Gongzizhang is Zhao's son-in-law, and Zhao Wugong is just following the story of Zhou Gong to assist his nephew?

What if the Son of Heaven let him, the Marquis of Wei, admit the truce because of this reason?

Then when the time comes, it will not be that he can't defeat the Zhao State and the Mo family, but that as a prince, he must respect the Son of Heaven, so he will withdraw from the army.

It's the same retreat, but it has a completely different meaning, at least it sounds better.

Zhou Tianzi no longer has the power to command the princes, Zhou Tianzi was surrounded by the Three Jins, especially by the Wei State, and Zhou Tianzi was already just a tool.

And this tool happens to be the easiest to use in Wei, so how can you not use it?

In the past, he also borrowed the tool of the Son of Heaven, why can't he use it now when he retires?

When the time comes, you can not only withdraw from the army, save your strength, and recuperate; He can also save his face, so that everyone in the world will say that he respects the Son of Heaven, won the favor of Confucianism, and made them enter Wei to seek office.

It's truly the best of both worlds.

Moreover, the power of the Mo family has risen, and Uncle Gong's intention is to create a big incident when the alliance is in place, so that the Mo family will refute Zhou Tianzi's face and cause public indignation.

However, what if Zhou Tianzi directly angrily reprimanded the Mo family for having no king and no father? At that time, the Son of Heaven came forward and felt that the Mo family violated the righteousness, and it would have the same effect, and the Wei State could still occupy the righteousness.

When necessary, the Son of Heaven was sacrificed, and the Son of Heaven determined that the Mohists violated the righteousness of the world and discussed it together, so that the Wei State could become famous. Although you can't fight now, you have to make an excuse first, and when you use it in the future, you can just raise your arms!

Although Zhou Tianzi no longer has fourteen divisions, he is still the theocratic leader of the whole world, and the legitimacy of the princes still needs the divine approval of the Son of Heaven, which is also a powerful force.

Since the Mo family makes him feel bad, he has to do something to make the Mo family unhappy!
