Chapter 410: Chapter 180: Ying Zheng’s Imperial Edict! (Part 2)
"But now that Qin has imposed a blockade, Wei is bound to suffer losses. Moreover, it only borders with Chu and Qi, and for Chu and Qi, food supplies are also precious; they won’t sell much. "
"With this blockade, there will surely be chaos within Wei, and when the chaos reaches its peak, that will be the time to mobilize the troops."
Glancing at the secret report from the Shaofu, Zhao Feng’s face also broke into a smile.
The prelude to the economic trade blockade has sounded.
This proves that the King of Qin has already made up his mind to use force against Wei, and the time will be within these one or two months.
"I wonder what the second secret report contains?"
Zhao Feng, filled with curiosity, opened the second secret report.
There was only one sentence on it.
And it was personally penned by the King of Qin.
"A month later, raise the army to destroy Wei."
"This campaign."
"Your Wu’an Camp will march south from Yunzhong City to attack Wei, and the Hangu Pass Camp will advance east from Hangu Pass."
"Whoever breaks into the capital of Wei first and captures the King of Wei will earn the highest merit."
This secret report had already directly set the specific time to attack Wei.
After reading it.
Zhao Feng’s expression turned serious as he closed the secret report.
"Your Highness."
"Is something major happening?" Zhang Han asked respectfully.
"Qin is preparing to make a move against Wei," Zhao Feng said in a deep voice.
"That’s great."
Zhang Han exclaimed in delight and then eagerly asked, "I wonder if our Wu’an Camp will be able to deploy troops to attack Wei?"
"In half a month, you’ll know," Zhao Feng responded with a faint smile.
Although he didn’t state it outright.
Zhang Han, having followed Zhao Feng for so many years, understood perfectly.
"I understand," Zhang Han replied excitedly.
Meanwhile, Zhao Feng coldly gazed in the direction of Wei.
"Capital of Wei, Daliang."
"The first to break through will earn the highest merit."
"Huan Yi."
"Although you’re older than me, I won’t lose to you."
"This time, I will secure the merit of destroying Wei," Zhao Feng said, his eyes flashing with a fighting spirit.
Having reached this position.
The wings have already formed.
Zhao Feng would not entertain thoughts of yielding or not yielding.
If you want military merit, then it’s all up to your wits and skills.
Wei, Daliang!
Morning Discussion Hall.
"Great King."
"It’s not good."
"All of Qin’s grain merchants have stopped selling grain to our Wei, not only that, the grain from the original Zhao state and Han is the same, all stopped being sold to our Wei."
"Much of the money already paid to the grain merchants has not been returned."
A minister of Wei reported anxiously.
"It’s not just grain."
"Copper and iron, iron artifacts, military supplies."
"And forage."
"All those Qin merchants have interrupted their trade."
Another minister spoke, his face filled with urgency.
"Why is this happening?"
"Is Qin planning to take military action against our Wei?"
Even though the King of Wei might be mediocre, Qin’s actions made him immediately understand.
If Qin is not planning to take action against his Wei, then why such circumstances?
Facing the King’s words.
The court of Wei was abuzz with discussions, and most ministers wore worried expressions, anxious and restless.
Qin is too powerful; if Qin really moves against Wei, there’s no way Wei can withstand it.
At this moment, many Wei ministers were already contemplating an escape route in their minds.
"Uncle."
"Given the current situation, what should be done?"
The King of Wei turned to Wei Wuji.
At this moment, the only person in the court that the King of Wei could rely on was this last steadfast general of Wei.
"Great King."
"Currently, Qin has already partially annexed Zhao and has pacified it, freeing up their hands."
"After Zhao’s fall, it was inevitable that our Wei would eventually face an attack from Qin."
"This situation is unavoidable."
Wei Wuji sighed, and although there was helplessness on his aged face, there was also resilience.
"Is it really the fate of our Wei to perish?"
The King of Wei’s face turned pale.
What happened to the King of Han, what happened to the King of Zhao?
The King of Wei was well aware.
They are now imprisoned in Xianyang, the King of Han might still be in a peaceful situation, but King Zhao Yan suffered endless torture, for he once humiliated King Zheng of Qin, and those assigned to guard him would show him no kindness.
"Great King, do not worry."
"Before Zhao’s downfall, I was already preparing to deal with Qin."
"Recruiting soldiers, training armies."
"Currently, our Wei holds a force of 600,000, enough to contend with Qin."
"I have already contacted Chu, Lord Chunshen of Chu stated that as long as our Wei can withstand the attack from Qin, they may send troops to assist us," Wei Wuji announced loudly.
This statement, loud and clear, seemed to be Wei Wuji’s effort to boost the morale of the court.
"Chu is willing to send troops?"
"That’s great."
"Currently, only Chu can rival Qin."
"With Chu’s aid, our Wei won’t fall."
Upon hearing Wei Wuji’s words, the King of Wei seemed slightly relieved.
"Report!"
"Just received a secret report from Qin."
"The King of Qin has decreed a ban on all Qin merchants conducting trade with our Wei, barring any sales of grain, military supplies, copper, iron - all prohibited."
"In addition."
"Other countries are also forbidden from transporting grain and other military supplies through Qin to reach our Wei."
A messenger rushed into the hall, reporting hastily.
"Qin truly intends to move against our Wei."
The King of Wei sighed.
If there had been any doubt before, the news of Qin’s blockade made it all too clear.
At that moment!
Wei Wuji slowly walked towards the center of the hall.
Following up.
He turned around to face all the civil and military officials of Wei.
"Esteemed ministers."
Wei Wuji began to speak slowly.
His old voice was not loud but carried an inherent authority.
