Chapter 567 The First Saint

Weidu, Daliang.

The Qin army attacked Wei, and people in Daliang were panicked. In the cold palace, there was also a bleak scene at this time.

The only thing that looks like the past is the palace of Queen Mother Leling.

"Queen Mother, please bring in some ginseng soup!"

Queen Mother Leling waved her hand and asked the maid to retreat. A man sat alone in front of the window, looking at the cold moon.

The Qin army attacked Wei. After a series of early battles and defeating the Wei and Chu coalition forces many times, they began to clear the fulcrum fortress near Daliang. Now, they have entered Daliang.

Tactically speaking, Daliang is a fortified city that is difficult to conquer. However, strategically speaking, Daliang City was Wei's weakness.

Daliang is located in the plain area where the Yellow River, Honggou and other water systems intersect. King Hui of Wei established his capital here because he wanted to dominate the Central Plains by relying on the powerful military strength of the Wei army and its status as a transportation hub in Daliang.

However, it was cheap to attack Daliang, which also meant that the enemy could quickly advance into the core capital area of ​​Wei State, thus causing panic in the entire Wei State.

At that time, Sun Bin realized the weakness of Wei State and led the Qi army to Daliang, surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, forced Pang Juan to return reinforcements from Zhao State, and defeated the Wei army in Guiling.

The battles of Maling and Guiling also made Wei, the overlord of the Warring States Period, begin to weaken.

But now, the world has changed greatly, and the Qin army has reached Daliang again. This time, they no longer wanted to ask for the city from Wei by forcing Daliang, but wanted to destroy Wei.

The Qin of tigers and wolves has the heart of Zhao Zhao.

But Wei State is no longer the original Wei State, it is just a small country less than a thousand miles away. Under the Qin army's attack, the city and land were lost, leaving only one beam.

The weakness has also become the last resort.

Queen Mother Leling sent the palace maids and the inner temple out early tonight, but she did not go to bed early, but was waiting for someone.

Wei Liao!

Wei Liao, the captain of the State of Qin, abandoned the wealth and honor at his fingertips, hung up his seal, and left the State of Qin.

After Queen Mother Leling learned about it, she wanted to see him again.

However, when Wei Liao arrived, there were three other people with him, one big and two small.

However, Queen Mother Leling had no intention of blaming her.

"Back then, you went to Xianyang as an envoy from Wei to persuade the Qin army to attack Zhao. The King of Qin cherished your talent and left you as a lieutenant in Qin. But now, Zhao has been destroyed and Wei is about to perish. You are willing to give up the wealth and honor you have at your fingertips. , but resigned from the official position at this time, isn’t it stupid?”

Wei Liao saluted and bowed slightly.

"I left because the King of Qin no longer needs my help. People like me will be used and trusted by the king when the world is in chaos, but when the world is stable, he will become the object of the king's suspicion. . And therefore, I choose to leave at this time.”

"You taught me nine skills to defeat Wu. I used three of them to defeat Wu. The sixth one is in me. I will try it out from my ancestors."

Queen Mother Leling said this, and Wei Liao smiled slightly. This is what King Gou Jian of Yue said when he asked Wen Zhong to commit suicide.

"Back then, Fan Li and Wen Zhong planned to destroy Wu for Gou Jian. After their success, Fan Li retired, but Wen Zhong continued to stay in the Yue Kingdom to assist the King of Yue, and was eventually killed by Gou Jian."

At this moment, the man beside Wei Liao spoke to the boy and girl beside him.

"Tell me, why is this?"

The boy shook his head, but the girl said.

"Gou Jian was afraid that one day Wen Zhong would use the means that helped him destroy Wu on himself and his descendants, so he killed him."

Queen Mother Leling looked at the energetic girl in front of her, and for some reason, she felt a sense of closeness.

"Wei Liao, who are they?"

"Zhao Shuang has met Queen Mother Leling!"

Queen Mother Leling looked at Zhao Shuang, first she narrowed her eyes and stared for a long time, then a smile appeared on her face, and then she laughed.

"When Lin Luhou came to Daliang, he went to the Wei Palace to admonish the late king, and proposed a unified strategy. Unfortunately, the late king did not use it, so Meng Ao used troops, thinking of Dongjun, and even today. When I first heard this, I hated that such a great man could not serve our Wei Kingdom. It’s too late to catch up.”

Queen Mother Leling smiled, but there was a hint of sarcasm at the end.

"The words are still in my ears. Lin Luhou is here today. Does he have any strategy to save Wei?"

Zhao Shuang smiled.

"Throw it to death and then survive; throw it to death and survive. It is the general trend of Qin to destroy the six kingdoms. However, Qin is also a tiger and wolf. Although it can destroy the six kingdoms, it may not be able to rule them. The revival of the six kingdoms in his dynasty is also the general trend. There is no need to fight for the length of time.”

Wei Liao listened and felt very interested. This is not what Zhao Shuang, who is the Marquis of Guannei of Qin State, should say.

While he was thinking carefully, he looked up and saw Queen Mother Leling taking a step back unconsciously, with a look of horror on her face.

"How could you..."

Queen Mother Leling quickly regained her composure and looked at Wei Liao.

"Let Lin Luhou and I have some words alone."

Wei Liao nodded and wanted to leave with Wei Ci and A Yan, but Zhao Shuang stopped A Yan.

Queen Mother Leling and Wei Liao were both a little strange, but they didn't stop him.

"These words must have been spoken in the Queen Mother's ears not long ago."

Zhao Shuang smiled, took the girl's hand, and took a step forward.

"The Qin army was already besieging Daliang, and Wang Ben began to dig river channels, hoping to divert the water from big rivers and chasms to pour into Daliang City. Since he knew that he would be defeated, he should plan for future generations. However, Empress Dowager Leling really thought that the person who said this Can you help Wei?"

"If he can't help, how can Lin Luhou help?"

Empress Dowager Leling understood very well the temptation of the Qin army to destroy the country. It is impossible for Zhao Shuang to stop it, and he will not stop it.

"I have no intention of helping Wei, I just want to give the Queen Mother one more choice."

"choose?"

Zhao Shuang waved his hand.

"Ayan, come forward and salute."

The girl didn't ask why, but followed Zhao Shuang's instructions and stepped forward to salute.

Queen Mother Leling thought it was strange, but when she saw the jade pendant exposed from the girl's neck when she bowed, her expression changed drastically. She took a step forward and held the jade pendant with one hand.

"How come you have this jade pendant?"

"My mother said it was a relic left by my father to me."

Queen Mother Leling's eyes filled with tears and she shouted.

"Wuji!"

Queen Mother Leling suddenly realized something, raised her head and looked at Zhao Shuang.

"Lin Luhou is really far-reaching and impressive!"

“Instead of placing all your bets on the same person, you would be a qualified gambler if you place your bets separately.”

Zhao Shuang bowed slightly, and every move he made was in line with the etiquette of a noble.

"Yes, that's right!"

Queen Mother Leling looked at Zhao Shuang and said with a bit of gritted teeth.

Zhao Shuang and Ayan walked out of the palace, and Wei Liao held Wei Ci's hand and waited.

"You have met Queen Mother Leling. Did you get what you wanted?"

"This is natural."

Wei Liao didn't ask what Zhao Shuang got, nor did he ask about the identity of the boy or girl.

"In that case, let's separate!"

"Where are you going, brother Wei Liao?"

"Go to Chu Di and visit Pengcheng, Xiaxiang, Huaiyin and other places. You must find someone to pass on the learning of the sages."
