After reading the letter, Xuan Wei hesitated.
Tang Yi reminded, "I heard that when a member of the Qi Kingdom's royal family was poisoned in the royal court, it was this Shao Liu-er who asked the Ghost Doctor's disciple to take action, allowing the poisoned member of the Qi Kingdom's royal family to escape the calamity."
Xuan Wei said, "Of course I know about this. I might even know more than you about the details of Princess Ying's kneeling and begging. It is precisely because I know that … that Mister Wu Xin might not make a move repeatedly. If it doesn't work and Qingkong is sent over, he will be even more helpless when he reaches there. The time spent going back and forth will not be enough for him to come back alive."
Tang Yi asked, "Do you have any other choice, husband?"
"That's right!" Xuan Wei looked up to the sky and sighed.
Tang Yi said, "The person who gave me this advice must have some confidence. Otherwise, there is no need to waste time on a dying person. It is meaningless."
Xuan Wei turned around and suddenly grabbed Tang Yi's arm. She cautiously warned, "Many people have advised me to ascend to the throne in the past. I don't want to usurp the throne, but I also don't want to harm Qingkong. Once I ascend to the throne, the three major sects will not tolerate Qingkong, so this matter must not be known to the three major sects. Now that I am about to ascend the throne, the attention of the three major sects will be diverted. This is a good opportunity for Qingkong to escape. Sister, go to the Qi Kingdom and meet Emperor Qi in person. The Shanghai Sect must help me deliver Qingkong safely. "
Tang Yi cupped her hands in obeisance and said, "The Shanghai Sect will try its best to live up to your trust!" Then she hesitated, "But my words carry little weight in front of Emperor Qi!"
Without saying a word, Xuan Wei turned around and walked quickly to the table. She wrote a letter and handed it to Tang Yi, asking her to present it to Emperor Qi's Haoyun Tu …
The ceremony was grand, and amidst a chorus of praises, Xuan Wei, who was dressed in an imperial robe, ascended to the throne. She accepted the worship of her subjects and officially became the empress of the State of Wei. She was officially in control of the State of Wei, which was in a precarious state.
The news of the Empress's ascension to the throne quickly spread throughout the entire Wei Country. Who knew how many people were looking forward to her, hoping that she would be able to turn the tide.
After Xuan Chengtian, who was under house arrest in the cold palace, received the report, he laughed wildly, "Xuan Wei, bitch, your wild ambition is finally exposed! Bitch, the heavens will definitely punish you … "
All kinds of curses echoed in the Cold Palace, but no one paid any attention to them.
After ascending the throne, the three major sects of the State of Wei discovered that something was wrong. They discovered that Ximen Qingkong had disappeared. Logically speaking, after Ximen Qingkong was poisoned, Tang Yi should have been by Xuan Wei's side. However, Tang Yi had also disappeared. The three major Sects immediately investigated carefully, but they did not know where these two people had gone. They discovered that even some important members of the Shangqing Sect had disappeared.
Three of the large flying beasts in the palace were missing, and their whereabouts were unknown. He then asked Xuan Wei about it, but Xuan Wei gave him a vague answer, refusing to say anything!
In this situation, the three major sects could not reveal their intention to kill Ximen Qing Kong. Xuan Wei refused to answer, so they could not do anything to her.
Important matters came one after another, and Ximen Qing Kong's whereabouts were soon forgotten by everyone.
News came from the Qin State. Although the Qin State did not directly send troops, they planned to take over Xi Ping Pass. The envoy explained the benefits of controlling Xi Ping Pass.
The main points were the same as what Meng Shan Ming had told the Qin State. It was just that they did not follow Meng Shan Ming's advice in time, so they delayed for a long time.
The Qin State wanted to control Xi Ping Pass first, so that they could prepare for the army to enter the State of Wei.
After a discussion between the emperor and the ministers of the State of Wei, they decided to hand over the control of Xi Ping Pass to the Qin State in exchange for the Qin State's troops.
It was not easy to make this decision. Whoever controlled Xi Ping Pass would be guarding the passage of the armies of the seven states to the east and west. Once the control was handed over to the Qin State, it would be lost forever. Even if the war was over, the Qin State might not return it to the State of Wei. How could they let go of the meat that they had bitten so easily, unless they snatched it back by force?
However, the State of Wei had no choice but to compromise.
Of course, they could not hand it over now. The State of Wei had to see the main force of the Qin State arrive at Xi Ping Pass before they would hand it over. Otherwise, it would be meaningless for the Qin State to send small fries and crab generals to guard it. It would not be able to withstand the attack of the Jin State, and it would change hands easily.
Furthermore, if they could not be sure that the Qin State would send their troops, the State of Wei would not hand it over. This might be the last route of retreat for some people in the State of Wei. Once they were defeated, they might have to retreat into the territory of the four eastern states from Xi Ping Pass.
Regardless of whether the Qin State was willing to let the troops of the State of Wei enter their territory, the defeated troops of the State of Wei would have to retreat from Xi Ping Pass. It was not realistic for a large number of defeated troops to retreat by sea.
Faced with the attitude of the State of Wei, the envoy of the State of Qin had no choice but to report the truth to the Qin court.
Within the borders of the State of Qin, the General Tian Zhengyang personally led the army to Xi Ping Pass.
The reason why they were willing to send their troops was because they were forced by Xuan Wei.
Once Xuan Wei made her move, the State of Qin could drag their feet in the beginning. However, they soon realized that something was wrong. The food supply of the entire State of Qin was suddenly tight, and it was too late to start farming now. Let's not talk about the time for farming and harvesting. First of all, if the commoners did not suffer, they would not be able to farm just because they were told to.
If they could earn more by selling their physical strength and doing manual labor, they would be able to fill their stomachs better. Why would they want to farm?
At this moment, the State of Qin realized that the State of Wei had already dug a trap for the State of Qin. In the past, they thought that the State of Wei was selling their food at a low price to build a good relationship with the State of Qin. Now, they realized that it was not the case.
The State of Wei had already used the method of subduing the State of Qin without a fight. He had already secretly used an invisible hand to choke the State of Qin. He could control the situation of the State of Qin at any time.
If they did not send their troops to help, not only would the State of Qin fall into chaos because of the famine, once the State of Jin controls Xi Ping Pass, they could not expect the State of Jin to be merciful. The State of Jin would probably sit by and watch the State of Qin fall into chaos so that they could send their troops to wipe it out.
When Yu Cang came to his senses, his face darkened. He realized that the people of the newly established State were still too inexperienced.
When they realized that a huge crisis was approaching, the two generals, Tian Zhengyang and Ma Changan, did not dare to argue anymore. When the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs left intact. Yu Cang would not allow them to continue arguing!
As they sent out their troops, they mobilized their men and horses. The allocation of various battle resources suddenly sped up.
At the same time, they implemented emergency policies to force the commoners to resume farming. Although they knew that it was too late, they had to do it.
…
"Young Master, the State of Qin has sent out their troops!" In the underground tunnel, Shao Sansheng, who had rushed to the stone room, reported.
"What?" Shao Pingbo, who was sitting in the room looking at the intelligence reports, stood up in shock. He asked anxiously, "Did the imperial court not spread the rumors in the State of Jin as I instructed?"
Shao Sansheng replied, "They did, but the rumors did not work. The State of Wei has made his move!"
Shao Pingbo hurriedly read the news. It detailed the information sent by the scouts from the State of Qin. It described the predicament that the State of Qin faced after the State of Wei suddenly tightened the rope.
After reading the news, Shao Pingbo quickly turned to look at the map. He first found the approximate location of Yin Chu's army, then the approximate location of Tian Zhengyang's army. His finger tapped lightly on the location of Xi Ping Pass.
His eyes flickered. After staring for a while, he Slowly said, "The loudest sound is silent. Initially, I thought that the State of Wei wanted to befriend the State of Qin to avoid being attacked from both sides. I did not expect him to have such a backup plan. It is indeed not simple to rule the State of Wei for so many years. I have underestimated Xuanwei. "
He tapped hard on Xi Ping Pass. "Fortunately, we planned ahead. It is too late for the State of Qin to react now. The distance of the State of Qin's main force to Xi Ping Pass is far greater than that of Yin Chu's army. However, the State of Qin's army is marching within their own borders. There are no obstacles along the way and they have the absolute advantage. The State of Jin is now interfering on two fronts and cannot send any more forces to interfere with the Qin army!"
"The bigger problem is the influence on the hearts of the people. Once the news of the State of Qin's army gets out, the forces on Yin Chu's eastern route will easily waver. Once the speed of Yin Chu's army is delayed, they will not be able to capture Xi Ping Pass before the main force of the State of Qin controls it!"
"Send a message to the imperial court to send someone to the State of Qin to negotiate with them. Regardless of whether the State of Qin agrees or not, as long as they can delay the Qin army from capturing Xi Ping Pass, they will agree to any conditions."
"Send a message to the Black Water Platform. Strengthen the interference of the forces on Yin Chu's eastern route. Now that the State of Jin is on the offensive, if anyone wavers, we can directly threaten and bribe them! Xi Ping Pass is a strategic stronghold, so it must not be lost. We must ensure that Yin Chu's army passes smoothly, and we must ensure that Yin Chu arrives at Xi Ping Pass before Tian Zhengyang! "
"Send a message to His Majesty. Send someone to secretly contact the General of Xi Ping Pass and promise to bribe him with great benefits …"
Shao Sansheng interrupted, "The approach of Tian Zhengyang's army will undoubtedly increase the confidence of the General of Xi Ping Pass. If he knows that the State of Jin can't capture it, coupled with the fact that the State of Qin's army will put the Jin army at a disadvantage, the General of Xi Ping Pass may not be easily bribed after weighing the pros and cons."
Shao Pingbo said, "This is the purpose of sending a message to His Majesty. I'm afraid that the General of Xi Ping Pass will defend to his death after learning that the Qin army is coming. We must not allow the General of Xi Ping Pass to his death until Tian Zhengyang's army arrives. Before Tian Zhengyang arrives, we must let Yin Chu capture Xi Ping Pass."
"Tell His Majesty that when he sends a lobbyist to contact the General of Xi Ping Pass, he must ask the other party one thing. If the General of Xi Ping Pass gives up on Xi Ping Pass to the Qin army, will it be considered a great merit? What will he do in the future? At the same time, ask His Majesty to send his most beloved Seventh Princess over and give her to the General of Xi Ping Pass to consummate their marriage. The marriage can be arranged later. "
"After marrying His Majesty's most beloved Seventh Princess, the General of Xi Ping Pass will no longer have any worries. Even if the State of Jin's attack is defeated, he will have a protective talisman when he arrives at the State of Jin. He will not lack wealth, splendor, and splendor. This will reassure him and motivate the General of Xi Ping Pass to make up his mind! "
Shao Sansheng's expression twitched as he said, "The Seventh Princess is the apple of His Majesty's eye. Will Eldest Young Master's suggestion offend His Majesty?"
Shao Pingbo said, "I'm only offering a suggestion. It has never been His Majesty's business. Now that things have come to this, I believe that His Majesty will not be disturbed by romantic feelings and will make a wise choice!"
…
Three flying birds carrying people descended from the sky and landed outside a temporary tent of the Qi army. The Head Supervisor of the Imperial Household, Bu Xunke, had arrived in person.
Inside the tent, Huyan Wuhen, who was clad in battle armor, strode out in large strides and welcomed him personally. He cupped his hands and greeted, "Head Supervisor Bu!"
"Greetings, Marshal!" Bu Xunke bowed politely and respectfully.
Huyan Wuhen waved his hand and invited him to take a seat inside the tent. Bu Xunke waved his hand and refused. "I still have to rush back to the capital. Marshal's military appearance is mighty. Can you accompany this old servant for a stroll?"
