Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Five thousand Wei military soldiers, three thousand chariot soldiers, two thousand cavalry and ten thousand elite veterans were all the main force when they defeated Qin General Sima Geng's troops in the Battle of the Wild Kings.

With [-] troops in hand, Wei Wuji was full of confidence.

This time, we must take back Tao County, which has been in Qin's hands for more than 20 years!

As long as there is Tao County, the east and west parts of Wei State will be completely integrated, and the national power of Wei State will also be greatly enhanced accordingly. The rise of Wei State will no longer be empty talk, but will become a real possibility!

Wei Wuji was in high spirits, and gave his first order after entering the camp.

"The whole army sets off, aiming at Taoyi!"

With Wei Wuji's order, [-] elite Wei troops mobilized and headed east.

In this chaotic battlefield of the Central Plains, another war broke out between Qin and Wei.

Chapter 263 Wang Ji, the governor of Hedong County, is in a bad mood (third update)

Anyi in Hedong County of Qin State.

As the capital of Wei State, the overlord of the Warring States Period, Anyi is the largest city in Hedong County and the seat of the county government.

Today's governor of Hedong County in the Qin State is named Wang Ji. He is about fifty years old. He has a long face with a pointed chin, a beard that grows to his chest, a thin body, and a pair of small eyes. He looks quite shrewd.

The importance of Hedong County to the Qin State can be ranked in the top three of all counties, so this position can be said to be an out-and-out Xiangmomo. Being able to serve as the prefect of Hedong County must either be extremely capable or have a background extremely strong.

To be honest, Wang Ji's ability is only average. It might be more suitable to be a county magistrate, but it is actually okay to be a county magistrate.

The reason why Wang Ji was able to become the prefect of Hedong County was actually because of his background.

Speaking of it, Wang Ji's fate was good, and he hugged a super thick thigh.

This thigh is the current Qin State Prime Minister, Fan Sui.

Speaking of how Wang Ji hugged Fan Sui's thigh, it is still a legendary story.

Fan Sui was originally a native of Wei State, but he was almost killed by Xu Jia, the doctor of Wei State, and Bang Wei Qi, the then Prime Minister of Wei State. Fortunately, Fan Sui cleverly pretended to be dead and escaped, and with the help of Zheng Anping, he escaped incognito. doomed.

At this time, Wang Ji happened to come to Wei State as a diplomatic envoy of Qin State, so Fan Sui connected with Wang Ji through Zheng Anping.

With just one meeting, Fan Sui convinced Wang Ji with his own ability, and Wang Ji decided to bring Fan Sui to Qin.

After returning to Xianyang, Wang Ji recommended Fan Sui to Qin Wangji, and he has been actively campaigning for Fan Sui, which can be regarded as contributing a lot to Fan Sui's final position.

Fan Sui has a characteristic, that is, "a good meal must be repaid, and a grievance must be repaid."

So after Fan Sui became Prime Minister of Qin State, Wang Ji went to ask Fan Sui for an official, and Fan Sui immediately advised Qin Wangji to let Wang Ji rise to the sky in one step, and became a high-ranking official like the governor of Hedong County.

From then to now, Wang Ji has been the governor of Hedong County for six years.

To be honest, Wang Ji, the sheriff of Hedong County, is quite worry-free.

Thanks to the whole set of Qin state system designed by Shang Yang, it can be said that the officials in the entire Qin state perform their duties and have their own responsibilities. As the county guard, Wang Ji basically only needs to follow the laws and regulations left by Shang Yang. The system works according to the rules.

Therefore, after a few years, Wang Ji, the sheriff, has been quite satisfactory and smooth.

Generally speaking, Wang Ji has been an official in Hedong County for the past few years, and he is quite comfortable and in a good mood.

But Wang Ji's good mood ended after the Battle of Changping last year.

In the battle of Changping, the Qin army on the losing side paid a huge amount of casualties, and among the soldiers of the Qin army who were killed and injured, apart from Guanzhong, Wang Ji's Hedong County soldiers were the most!

In the Warring States Period, the army was generally divided into two types: the standing army and the county soldiers. Needless to say, the standing army was the kind of full-time soldier who was paid by the soldiers, while the county soldiers worked in agriculture in peacetime and were conscripted to fight in wartime.

Moreover, the county soldiers usually act as cannon fodder. If you win, it's okay to say, but if you lose, the county soldiers usually die the most.

The death of a large number of soldiers in Hedong County during the Battle of Changping last year led to an inevitable shortage of labor force in Hedong County, which in turn affected the spring plowing and autumn harvest of Hedong County this year.

According to statistics, under almost the same climatic conditions, the grain harvested in Hedong County this year is [-]% less than last year!

As a matter of course, Wang Ji was severely reprimanded by Qin Wangji and Xiangbang Fan Sui.

If it wasn't for Fan Sui still caring about that little affection, Wang Ji would not say that he would continue to be the governor of Hedong County, whether he could save his life would be a problem.

Not only that, shortly after that, Wang Ji heard another piece of news that worried him.

Zhao Guo, the new overlord who defeated Qin in the Battle of Changping, is now ready to move, and the target is likely to be Hedong County where Wang Ji is now!

That's Zhao Guo!

Just when Wang Ji was terrified and didn't know what to do, another general was secretly sent from Xianyang.

This general is none other than Meng Ao who is sitting in the study of the Sheriff's Mansion at this very moment, only a few steps away from Wang Ji.

Meng Ao stared at Wang Ji, and said with piercing eyes: "Master Taishou, the number of county soldiers is still short of [-]. Please, Sir Taishou, gather them quickly."

"What?" Wang Ji was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said: "I have recruited [-] young men according to the general's order, how can there be as much as [-] short?"

Meng Ao said in a deep voice: "The Xianyang side just sent an order, the Zhao army has already dispatched troops, and it is possible to invade the Hedong County at any time, so I ordered me to gather all the young and strong in the Hedong County to prepare to meet the Zhao people."

As he spoke, Meng Ao took out an order from his pocket and placed it in front of Wang Ji.

Wang Ji picked up the order and took a look, and found that it was indeed an order from Qin Wangji and Xiangbang Fan Sui, and the content on it was exactly the same as what Meng Ao said just now.

Wang Ji frowned, feeling a little bit off.

But this order was actually for two people, Wang Ji and Meng Ao, but it was sent to Meng Ao first, which made Wang Ji somewhat unhappy.

After all, in Wang Ji's view, he is the confidant of Xiangbang and Fan Sui, and this order should be handed over to him first.

It's just that it's not happy, but Fan Sui didn't see any abnormality on his face, but agreed very happily: "Please rest assured, general, I will call young and strong as soon as possible and send them to the general's barracks."

Meng Ao nodded and said: "That's very good, if that's the case, then I'll take my leave first."

Meng Ao is also a straight-tempered soldier, he left immediately after finishing his speech.

Seeing Meng Ao's leaving figure, Wang Ji frowned, and couldn't help snorting: "However, a defeated general is also showing his prestige in front of Gan Wu!"

Wang Ji also had some opinions on Meng Ao, not because of anything else, but because Meng Ao was the deputy general of Sima Geng in the Battle of Yewangcheng, and he was also the party and commander of the Qin army's big defeat. one.

At least [-] soldiers from Hedong County died in that battle!

It can be said that the reason why Wang Ji was reprimanded this year really has something to do with Meng Ao's disadvantage in fighting.

The result is that such a defeated general was not held accountable after returning to the country, but appeared alive and kicking in front of Wang Ji, and was even able to take over the military power again?

To be honest, Wang Ji was really confused.

But Wang Ji knew very well that since such an order came from Xianyang, it meant that the war would really break out on the land of Hedong County very soon.
