How strong was Wei Wenhou's personal ability and virtue in history? It can be said that his ability is no less than that of Qin Zhi Yingzheng and Song Zhi Kuangyin; His imperial mind is no less than that of the Han Dynasty and the Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, as can be seen from the drastic Confucian reforms he made after succeeding to the throne and the people he reused.

His master Zixia, his friends Duan Mugan and Tian Zifang, the famous Taoist scholars, Li Kui in front of him, Ximen Leopard, Wu Qi, Le Yang and other famous Chinese celebrities in China.

What's more powerful is that in his hands, Zixia Zhiru, one of the eight schools of Confucianism, has been applied in reality, and the rise of the country proves that the practicability of Zixia Zhiru has played a leading role in the later Qin Dynasty's Shang Dynasty feudal reform.

Because of Wei Wenhou's respect for Confucianism, Wei became the political center, cultural center, military center, and economic center of the world for a time. It can be called the first country where Confucianism has succeeded in practice.

Of course, it is also considered to be the beginning of the step towards bureaucratic politics from aristocratic politics.

As for why the Wei State plummeted later? This is related to the fact that the rulers of the Wei State abandoned the Xihe doctrine (Zixia Confucianism) and reused the Guigu doctrine, which is the reason for the prosperity and decline.

It is not that the Guigu Doctrine is inferior to the Confucianism of Zixia, but that the Guigu Doctrine is an inflection point in the development of history.

Either it is as hard as pig iron for a while, or it is like a volcanic eruption that causes the whole region to fall into ashes.

However, now that the historical Wei Wenhou has entered the Guigu School, it will inevitably make Confucianism no longer possible to be implemented in Wei, and it is also destined that Wei will not have historical glory.

Xiang Lu naturally didn't know what his move would bring to Wei State, and he didn't know what it would bring to Xiao Wei Wenhou, he was just thinking about his own thoughts at this time.

The white-haired Wang Xu was also thinking about his own thoughts, he was thinking about how to make the Qi State lose in this chaos between Wei, Qi and Zheng.

Lü Di learned that Zifu He was under house arrest in Zhengdu, furious, declared war on Zheng, and waited for Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, Gu Yezi and other generals to bring 60,000 reinforcements, gathered the generals again, integrated the army, a total of 150,000 Qi troops, and crossed the west to Pushui.

Ten days later, the army entered the clear land, and the clear land doctor surrendered without a fight.

In order to prevent the Qi State from advancing westward, the north of Korea went south to cut off the back road, and Lü Di ordered Gongsun Jie, Tian Kaijiang, Gu Yezi, three generals, and 10,000 soldiers to go north, seize the important places of Zheng State, Beijing, Guan and Cai, and garrison the army in the three places.

The three veteran generals knew that this was their own king who was afraid that they would be strained on the march, so they deliberately found an excuse to let them capture the three places, and they were not only moved in their hearts, but also a little unwilling.

The Qi army was divided into 30,000, and there were 120,000 left, and the army continued to advance westward, and then it reached the eastern fortress city of Zheng Duyi, Hua.

Hua's defender was Han Shuo, the son of Han Da, and Han Shuo's commanders fought with Guo Fan, the vanguard of the Qi army, and were defeated and retreated into the city.

Looking at the majestic military fortress Hua, Guo Fan knew that if he ordered the soldiers to attack, he would definitely suffer a lot of damage, so the army did not launch an attack, but waited for reinforcements.

After Lü Di arrived, he ordered a thousand trebuchets to launch a fierce bombardment on Hua, and in less than an hour, Han Shuo fled Huacheng with the remnants of the army.

Hwaseong was captured by the Qi army.

After capturing Hua, the Qi army had no worries, so it continued to advance westward. Less than thirty miles to the west is Zheng Guoguo's capital.

When Lu Di first came, there had been earth-shaking changes.

The width of the moat at the beginning was only one zhang, now it is more than three zhang, the height of the original city wall is only three people high, now there are as many as ten people, and there are concave and convex small wall shooting towers one after another, and so on, its defense is so tight, it is breathtaking.

Lu Di looked at this majestic giant city, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, this is the most difficult city he has encountered since the battle, because the largest siege weapon in the Qi country, the stone-throwing vehicle, is not within the effective stone-throwing distance of the city at all.

He ordered 120,000 troops to camp outside the city, and at the same time ordered the pedestrian Zheng Bang to inform the Wei State that they would jointly destroy Zheng and that they would share Zheng land with him equally.

Zheng Bang, in fact, is called Ji Bang, because he is Zheng Guo's person who was famous in Qi State, so he is also called Zheng Bang.

You may not know the name Zheng Bang, but you must have heard of the name Zheng Guo, which is famous in the annals of history.

And Zheng Bang is actually Zheng Guo, because in order to avoid the name of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, in order to avoid the name of Liu Bang, the nineteenth ranked one in history, Zheng Bang, the seventy-two disciples of Confucius, was renamed Zheng Guo.

Zheng Guo is a very powerful character, this person's father is Zheng Guo's son, and his mother is the princess of Xue Guo, but due to political reasons, he is a down-and-out son, but with his personal hard work, he finally became the prime minister of a country, and made his country governed, and the vassal states did not dare to invade, and his ability can be seen.

At this time, Lu Di didn't know that Zheng Bang was actually Zheng Guo, the ancestor of the master of sinology, Zheng Xuan, otherwise he wouldn't have let him do errands every day.

The reason why Lu Di was so kind and wanted to share the land of Zheng with the Wei people was of course to pull Wei into the water and let Wei also participate in this bloody struggle to besiege Zheng Capital, and of course, there was also one point, that is, to prevent Wei from attacking from behind and giving Qi a ruthless blow when Qi and Zheng were at war.

did not let Korea and Song besiege Zheng with him, the reason was that South Korea participated in the Zhongshan War, and Qi had not turned back to find Korea, so looking for South Korea to attack Zheng together, Lu Di couldn't pull that face.

As for the Song State, Song Jinggong of the Song State spread the news that it had been killed, and the Song State army had secretly withdrawn to his own country, and the entire Song State was in a tense political situation, and he did not have the energy to join forces with the Qi State to destroy Zheng.

In the marching tent of the Wei army, Wang Xu received the envoy of the Qi State, and when he saw Lu Di's handwritten letter, he smiled slightly, which could not be denied.

The envoy of Qi wanted to persuade Wang Xu to send troops again, but before the words could be spoken, Wang Xu was blasted out of the king's tent.

Seeing that the generals of the Wei State are not clear, it is a good thing that they can divide the Zheng State equally with the Qi State without fighting each other, why does the Prime Minister disagree?

Wang Xu looked at the questioning eyes of the generals and smiled: "If the prime minister agrees immediately, with the suspicious character of Lu Di, the king of Qi, he will definitely think that there is fraud in it."

When the generals heard this, they suddenly realized, too, the smarter the person, the more suspicious, Lu Di was known as a prodigy when he was a child, and he was naturally a smart person, and the smart Lu Di was naturally a suspicious person.

Thinking about this, the generals will admire the wisdom of their own prime minister on the one hand, and despise Lu Di on the other hand.

The army will leave the king's tent, Wang Xu fell into deep thought, Xiang Lu said: "The master is hiding from the generals, is this good?" ”

Wang Xu said: "Even his own generals can't hide it, how can he hide it from Lu Di?" ”

Xiang Lu was silent.
