Poyang//After the navy ships separated from the main ship, the warships of the two teams merged together and continued eastward. At this time, the ship's hull pushed through the mighty river water and moved forward slowly.

On the bow of the boat, after Xiang Zhuang left, Wu Fang felt much more at ease. She didn't know why she touched Xiang Zhuang's gaze, which was like an electric shock. Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment and would disappear soon.

.

But what surprised Wu Fang even more was that the last time she saw Xiang Zhuang, she didn't feel this way, but this time...

Wu Fang didn't dare to think about it anymore. Maybe, as they said, she was already nineteen years old and it was the time when she first fell in love. If that was the case, would she have... fallen in love with him?

Just when Wu Fang was thinking wildly, Wu Rui laughed loudly on the side: "I went east this time and promised your sister Wu Ling a good family. Do you want to know who it is?"

Seeing that Wu Rui was very interested, Wu Fang also became interested and joked: "Which family did dad find for my sister?"

"Jiangdong Xiang Family!" As soon as Wu Rui spoke, Wu Fang was stunned. It couldn't be the Xiang Village just now, right? Although she had doubts in her heart, Wu Fang didn't dare to ask. At this time, Wu Rui seemed to see that her daughter

Concerned, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The person who is engaged to your sister is Xiang Zhuang's younger brother Xiang You. He is also a rare young general in the Jiangdong Chu army. His power is not inferior to Xiang Zhuang's."

Speaking of this, Wu Rui glanced at Wu Fang and saw that she was slightly distracted and seemed to be thinking about something, so she had to stop talking. At this time, Wu Fang sighed: "Don't you plan to discuss it with your sister?"

"What is there to discuss about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words?" Wu Rui looked slightly unhappy, looked at her daughter, and said: "Your marriage has been decided, but sooner or later, you have to get married too!"

After saying that, Wu Rui ignored her daughter and quickly left the bow of the boat, leaving Wu Fang standing there in a daze, at a loss.

After about half a day's journey, the army had arrived at the watershed of the Yangtze River, and the two fleets slowly separated here. It was time to say goodbye.

The main ship has connected with the handsome ship in Poyang, and Wu Rui's soldiers are evacuating the main ship at this time. Next to the ship's plank, Wu Rui takes Wu Fang and Ying Bu to say goodbye to Xiang Zhuang and others.

Behind Xiang Zhuang, Cao Feng was extremely interested in Wu Fang. This girl, who was less than twenty years old, actually wore a helmet and carried armor, just like herself. Could it be that she also had a good impression of Xiang Zhuang? Moreover, when Cao Feng observed

When Wu Fang looked at her with burning eyes, she finally felt that another hot potato was approaching Xiangzhuang.

"After a long journey, we must say goodbye. We will see you next time in Poyang." Wu Rui said goodbye with his hands crossed. On the side, Ting Bu also laughed and said: "Brother, when you send troops, I will be the first to arrive as a brother."

, help you capture Qisi County."

Xiang Zhuang also returned the gift and said with a smile: "Xiang Zhuang is busy with official duties. He has to arrive in Zhu County first. After stabilizing Zhu County, he can come to Poyang to visit. Regarding the blacksmiths, I will send thirty craftsmen to Poyang in advance. Later, I will definitely

I visited in person and had an in-depth discussion with Uncle Wu about ironware making."

What Wu Rui was waiting for was Xiang Zhuang's words. At this time, everyone said goodbye, and Wu Rui and others returned to their own ships. Soon, the ship's planks were removed, and with the sound of low horns, the fleet of the Chu army from Jiangdong

They turned around one after another and continued eastward along the Yangtze River.

Watching the ships of the Chu army in the east of the Yangtze River gradually go away, Wu Rui was silent for a long time. He suddenly looked at his daughter Wu Fang beside him and said with a smile: "What do you think of Xiang Zhuang?"

"How can you know if your daughter has never interacted with Xiang Zhuang?" Wu Fang replied shyly. At this time, Wu Rui whispered: "I will give you a chance to associate with him."

After saying that, Wu Rui looked deeply into the distance without saying a word, leaving Wu Fang silently staring at her father Wu Rui. I wonder if what he just said foreshadowed her future destiny?

It can be said that Ding Gu followed Xiang Zhuang eastwards this time, which was Wu Rui's deliberate arrangement. Only with Ding Gu by Xiang Zhuang's side could Wu Rui have more opportunities to have a close relationship with Xiang Zhuang and win over Xiang Zhuang.

At this time, the ships of the Poyang Army were also at Pengli Ze, slowly changing their route and heading towards the river port of Yugan County.

...

Chen County is still as peaceful as usual. Zhou Wen's defeat of Hangu and Wu Guang's long-lasting attack on Xingyang seem to have nothing to do with Zhang Chu State. The people are living their lives as usual, the army is patrolling as usual, and the palace is

Inside, there was singing and dancing and constant laughter every day.

At the east gate of Chen County, three thousand Wei troops began to pack up their camps and prepare to set off. Beside the wide road, Wei Jiu, Wei Bao, Zhou Wen and Chen Ping said goodbye to Kong Yu. At this time, Zhou Shi and others had decided to

Return to Puyang.

Chen Sheng had already tacitly agreed that Wei Jiu would become king and be on par with Zhao and Qi, but the only condition was that he must surrender to Zhang Chu. This was not a big deal for Zhou Shi and others. After all, Wei had just gained its own power.

The foundation is unstable and it still needs the support of big countries to compete with the Qin army.

After a long silence, Mayor Zhou sighed. He looked at Kong Yu with reluctance and said in a deep voice: "Why should Mr. Kong be so persistent? You might as well follow us to Puyang and Wei to assist Young Master Wei Jiu and help the great Wei Dynasty.

"

This is the fifth time Zhou Shi has tried to persuade him. Kong Yu smiled wryly and waved his hand: "General Zhou, you don't have to be so polite. I have already decided to leave. I will not miss Chen County, let alone go to Puyang. Please give me some advice."

Please take good care of me along the way and don’t worry about me."

After saying that, Kong Yu sighed softly and said: "If I hadn't promised General Zhou to stay and take care of Young Master Wei Jiu, I'm afraid I would have crossed the river to the land of Wuhui a few months ago. Now that the time is ripe, Chen

The county cannot stay for long, so I decided to set off for Jiangdong today."

Seeing that Kong Kun had already decided to leave, Zhou Shi couldn't persuade him anymore, so he turned around and ordered: "Go and prepare a hundred yi gold to give to Mr. Kong."

A relative followed Chang Nuo and left. At this time, Zhou Shi looked at Chen Ping again and ordered: "You go and choose the twenty most skilled soldiers to escort Mr. Kong to Jiangdong."

Just as Kong Yu was about to refuse, Zhou Shi had already handed over his hand and said: "We will always remember Mr. Kong's kindness to the Wei family. We say goodbye today. I don't know when we will see each other again. It's just a hundred dollars and we can talk about our feelings. Please ask Mr. Kong Mo."

To refuse.”

This was Zhou Shi's heartfelt offer. Kong Kun knew that he could no longer refuse it politely, so he had to hold his hand and smile and said: "Okay, I accept your offer. I also ask General Zhou to treat the people of Wei kindly, promote agriculture, and raise more cattle, so that

Puyang can restore its productivity as soon as possible. Only with food in hand can the morale of the army be stabilized, and only then can it survive a hundred battles and compete with the Qin army."

Speaking of this, Kong Yu said again: "Furthermore, the territory of Wei is located in a strategic area and is a must-win area for the Qin army. If the Qin army presses the territory in the future, General Zhou will not be able to fight with strength. He must retreat when he has to. Don't do harm to him due to greed.

We defeated Wei’s tens of thousands of troops.”

When Zhou Shi saw Kong Yu saying goodbye, he was still thinking about his own way out, so he could only sigh and say goodbye. After a while, everyone parted ways, one to the south and one to the north.

...

At the end of August, according to Qin law, the New Year is coming, but at this time, the Wei State has abolished the Qin law, making January every year the beginning of the New Year. At this time, the Wei State's palace has been completed, with more than a hundred palaces.

Yu, on a grand scale, symbolizes the re-emergence of the Wei Dynasty.

At the south gate of Puyang, two thousand Wei troops had changed into new uniforms. They held high the purple flag of Wei and lined up on both sides of the city gate.

On the city tower, the drums were beating loudly. This was the drum beating to welcome Wei Jiu back. Soon, a black curve appeared on the wide galloping road. The curve was getting closer and closer. They gradually turned from small black dots into dense

Soldiers, arranged in neat ranks, are advancing towards Puyang.

There are three thousand people in this team, headed by two generals, riding horses with great courage. The leader is Wei Jiu, and beside him is Wei's number one hero, Zhou Shi.

At this time, under Puyang City, Li Yan was waiting anxiously. Soon, a cavalry galloped over and shouted excitedly: "General Li, the young master is back!"

Li Yan couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he immediately ordered: "Quick, get in formation and play military music!"

Ten days later, the Wei army built an altar in the north of Puyang. Under the altar, 50,000 Wei soldiers, holding their weapons high, lined up on both sides. There was only a long straight road in the middle, paved with a red carpet. On both sides of the red carpet, one person stood every ten steps.

Raise the Wei flag high.

Soon, Wei Jiu, accompanied by Zhou Shi, Li Yan and Chen Ping, walked along the red carpet towards the high altar. When they were approaching the foot of the altar, Zhou Shi and others stopped. Wei Jiu stood in front of two relatives.

Under the protection of the guards, continue walking upward.

At this time, the sound of drums, horns, and military music suddenly stopped, and the surroundings suddenly became extremely quiet. Wei Jiu looked around at everyone on the high altar. This is his army, which is the foundation of the great Wei State. He wants Wei State to start from

Start today to regroup and regain your former glory.

An official in charge of the ceremony walked up to the high altar and handed the sword, tiger talisman, token, seal ribbon, royal robe and crown to Wei Jiu in turn, and announced to the public that the Wei Kingdom was officially established.

Wei Jiu held his seal high, and his ministers, generals and soldiers prostrated on the ground, shouting "A Thousand Years Old". At this time, envoys from various countries presented congratulatory gifts, and Wei Jiu announced loudly from the high platform: Zhou Shi is promoted to be the prime minister, and Li Yan is made the general.

, Chen Ping is the doctor...

...

Zhou Wen had lost three battles in a row in Zhengxian, Ningqin, and Hudi, and had to withdraw from Hangu Pass. Qin General Zhang Han was not a trivial matter. At this time, Zhou Wen was stationed in Caoyang County, gathering the defeated soldiers, and was alone in his tent all day long.

Depressed and unhappy.

His personal entourage had been away for ten days, and he asked Chen Sheng for reinforcements, but there was still no news. Seeing that the Qin army would arrive soon, if Chen Sheng did not send reinforcements, Zhou Wen knew that it would be difficult for him to win this battle.

Looking back on the advice given by Chief Secretary Deng Chen, even if I was willing to obey even half of it, garrisoning troops in Ning Qin Dynasty, strictly defending and waiting for reinforcements, I would not have suffered such a tragic defeat.

, overthrew the violent Qin Dynasty, and now suffered the consequences, Zhou Wen was very upset.

Victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. Zhou Wen was not discouraged and gave up Hangu Pass. He was waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the opportunity to fight back to Guanzhong.
