(It is indeed inconvenient during the Chinese New Year, so it has only been changed for a few days, and we will slowly make up for it!!) Thank you all for your continued support!! ）

As time passed, in the cold winter the dispute was forced to cease and renew the time.

To the east, the upper heart of the Qi State finally stopped the internal strife under the serious external trouble, and the monarchs and ministers put aside their suspicions and worked together.

And whether the new monarch of Qi can establish authority from scratch depends on whether Tian Yuwen can solve the crisis of Qi in this new year. There are tigers and wolves in the north, and there are more difficult Wu people in the south, but the crisis of Qi is not so easy to solve.

As the temperature rises, the smoke of gunpowder in the hinterland of the Central Plains has only subsided for a long time, and now there is a tendency to come.

The Qin and Chu armies, which were stationed in the Chen capital of Xinle, frequently moved in Chen after the beginning of spring, and continued to increase their forces in the rear.

Not only that, but the Qin State also frequently conducted military exercises on the western side of Xiguan, which bordered Qin and Wei, making the situation in the southwest of the entire Wei State even more tense.

The small countries in the vicinity were even more panicked, because from the beginning of the decline of the Zhou royal power to the present, too many vassal states had disappeared into time.

Despite this, for Wei, the situation is not so critical, there are dangerous obstacles on both sides of the southwest, and it is extremely difficult for Qin and Chu to break through.

And the resistance of the people of Qi is not to worry, Wu has long coveted the small country that uses the Qi and Wu borders as a buffer, since he has not reaped much benefit from fighting with the old enemy Chu State for so many years, it is better to take this opportunity to pinch the Qi State.

Therefore, in the face of the Qi State, the Wei State actually has the helper of the Wu State, not to mention that the Wei army is still on the land of the Qi State.

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

This point was felt most deeply as the Guihua City at the forefront of the Wei army, and the scouts who were scattered every day would report back, saying that the Xiongnu headquarters and the vassal tribes were mobilizing supplies and troops.

The vast grassland area north of the Heishui River has entered a wartime state, and according to the news from the Tielin Department, the Huns have made up their minds this time to pull out the wedge of the Naturalization City.

This news was also grasped by the Lingbei camp, so many people were relieved at the same time, but also gloating.

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

After a continuous rush to work, Wei Wuji's own new heavy cavalry was also equipped at the end of May, and now the ironworks are producing iron light cavalry armor and sabers in addition to spare heavy armor.

This was all planned before, and the armor style and saber size were rigorously designed and tested, and now it just needs to be produced as planned.

The inherent speed deficit of the hoplites, as well as the lack of stamina, were compensated for by the light cavalry.

The great war is about to start, and when the Lord gives an order, there will be people who will go forward and write war songs with blood on this grassland.

…………

In mid-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 the three women, but Cao Xin and Huan'er had big bellies.

I was pregnant in October, and now nearly six months have passed, and the two of them have begun to walk inconveniently, and they need to be supported by their servants and maids.

The belly is full of his own children, which makes Wei Wuji, who has been a human being in two lives but has never been a father, excited at the same time, accompanied by some apprehension.

Although he really wanted to have children of his own, it was a desire born out of competing interests, and in essence, Wei Wuji did not feel that he was mature enough to take on the responsibilities of being a father.

But life is a process of continuous maturity, but sometimes you don't even realize that you are mature enough.

After living in the mansion for more than ten days, Wei Wuji had to leave his family and run to the cold and bloody battlefield again.

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

In fact, the current accumulation in the Naturalization City is what Wei Wuji keeps coming, otherwise, according to the thoughts of the senior officials in the court, how can he be given a great opportunity to sit down.

However, the safety of the Great Wall is the top priority after all, and once it is lost...... Then, combined with Qin Chu's offensive, Wei's situation would immediately reverse.

The Huns who broke through the Great Wall would be even more terrible than the Qin and Chu military lands that invaded the Wei realm, which was really a river of blood and corpses all over the field.

Therefore, under the intermittent situation, the city of Guihua still prepared the materials for defense for the purpose of fighting against the Huns.

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

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

In the end, after asking for a batch of armor and weapons, Wei Wuji left the Great Wall and rushed to the city of Guihua.

In the steppe where there were caravans some time ago, they were nowhere to be seen at all. It can be said that sometimes the whereabouts of merchants are also forecasters at the beginning of the war.

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

As the overlords of the steppe in the old days, although they are now attached to the Xiongnu, the Donghu people still have great power, which allows them to protect themselves in the war and stay in a safe corner.

Donghu, who could maintain stability to the greatest extent, naturally became the best collaborator of the merchants, and the prosperity of commerce also supported Donghu to a certain extent, so that it could continue to fight against the Huns.

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

Don't forget that Wei Wuji, who now controls the Hanoi steppes, has already controlled the trade routes between the Donghu people and the Central Plains.

But when it comes to this time, I have to say one thing that gives Wei Wuji a headache, and that is the original brother and sister who are still in his hands.

If the two of them were still grateful to him at the beginning, now all that is left is hatred, among which Wuyunzhu is the most prominent.

Fortunately, now is not the time to come into contact with the Donghu people, so Wei Wuji doesn't have to worry about how he can 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 turn to surveillance.

So, while worrying about his stomach in his arms, Wei Wuji returned to Naturalization City, which would be his only stage for the next few months.

It was noon when he returned to Naturalization City, and although he had been on the road for two days in a row, it did not 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: Have you invited everyone?

And Zhou Yan quickly entered the state of a secretary, followed Wei Wuji's side and replied: "According to Gongzi's orders, except for a few unruly people, everyone else is waiting for Gongzi to be summoned outside the Naturalization City!" ”

"Who else dares not to come?" Wei Wuji asked rhetorically.

Zhou Yan bowed his body, and then said: "According to the son's orders, his subordinates still invited them!" ”

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

Zhou Yan wanted to persuade Wei Wuji to rest, but seeing his son-in-law's determined appearance, he also put his mind to rest.

After all, now that time is pressing, arranging it early will provide more protection, and Wei Wuji's urgency naturally makes sense.
