Chen Ling arrived at the camp's main tent and walked to the front of the Cockroach's tent. After reporting his identity to the guard at the entrance, he was invited inside.
"Academy Officer Chen Ling pays his respect to Cockroach!"
He took off his sword from the weapon rack and hung it on his waist, then took off his helmet and placed it across his arm. He said to Chen Ling: "Let's go, with General Dong's temper, he is unwilling to wait.
Qiu Hua's gaze tensed up, he looked at Chen Ling with a stern gaze, and seeing that he did not know anything, he started to calm down, and sighed: "Considering that you have just been promoted to Academy Officer, and you do not know anything about the military and national affairs, I will not pursue your crime of suspecting your master anymore, I will briefly mention it to you, in the future, General Dong will discuss it with you, Young Noble was once held hostage in Qin Nation, and returned to your country six years ago."
"Four years ago, Qin sent a person to establish the Young Master Wei as Crown Prince, and Prince Wei and King of Qin met in the nearing of the new era. Because Young Master has always promoted a strategy related to Qin, recommended joining up with the Western Qin in an attempt to annex Qi, Yan, Zhao, Han, and so on, but the joint strategy with the Prime Minister Gongsun Yan was violated and therefore, was never implemented. For the Qin Nation to expand its domination to the east, it needs to use Han and Wei to urgently open a portal to the east, and to suppress the State of Wei as a first step in Qin's hegemony.
Chen Ling began to understand a little. Wasn't this an extension of the Battle Nation's "Consecutive Zong Zong"? There were many kingdoms and dukes contending for hegemony. War was frequent, and the dukedoms adopted a "combined strategy" in foreign and military terms.
After the change made by Shang Yang, the middle and late stage Qin Nation of the Warring States had become more and more powerful, and was no longer willing to stay in one place, thus, he pointed the spearhead of his aggression towards the east; After the battle in Maling, the Qi Nation replaced the Wei Country and became the ruler of the Central Plains.
And the four most famous expert in diplomacy in the world were Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan, Huai Shi and Su Qin.
As the ancestor of the expert in diplomacy of China, Zhang Yi had once followed Su Qin and learned how to play the game, read many poems and strategies, and learned to go down the mountain first before Su Qin, becoming Qin Zheng twice. When Zhang Yi came to the Qin Nation, he was promoted by the King of Qin to become her teacher, and replaced by Gongsun Yan as a teacher.
However, the Chu Nation actually poured cold water on the Wei Nation's defense. Just like the year of the "Five Great Kingdoms' King, Gongsun Yan had defeated the Wei Army in Xiangling and taken over eight city s. Because of the destruction of Qi and Chu, the Five Great Kingdoms' King did not achieve the desired result, so King Wei Hui hated Qi and Chu even more.
For the past two decades, even the strategy of combining forces had been used repeatedly without a pause. The various kingdoms had fought hundreds of battles, both large and small, but they had never annexed each other. They were in a situation where the seven heroes of the Warring States faced off against each other.
As the left camp was only a few kilometers away from the main camp, Chen Ling and Qiu Hua had yet to exchange a few words before they reached the main camp's main gate. The two of them dismounted together with the guards, and the guards led the horses and waited outside the main gate.
"This lowly general pays his respect to the great general!"
"We pay our respects to the great general!"
Dong Zhiqi held onto a book, flipping through it, he looked at the two of them for a moment, then nodded his head, and looked straight at Chen Ling. He said slowly: "This time, you have captured Gan Mao alive, the news spread to the royal family, causing Wei Wang and Long Yan to be extremely happy, and even specially bestowed you with five hundred gold, two servants in the palace, four servants, a large house, and a place in Daliang City. After the war ends, when the teachers return to the court, you can live in your own villa."
"On the battlefield, if one does not fight, one would die, if not, the nation would perish. This was originally the Warring States Age, where men fought in the war, making meritorious service, unquestionable, but it was the duty of the soldiers, why would they ask for King Wei's reward? This subordinate is willing to hand over these rewards to General Dong! " Chen Ling cupped his fists and refused.
Qiu Hua was startled, thinking that Chen Ling did not ask for a reward for his achievements, what a fool.
Dong Zhiqi stared at him for a long time before saying: "As the commander of the three armies, how could I care about your hundred gold? Even the Third Prince sent a secret letter to express his admiration for you. As long as you do more meritorious service on the battlefield, and in the future, you could be promoted to a general and transferred back to the Daliang City. Young master is very lacking in young people with both courage and knowledge, like you! "
Chen Ling flattered him on the surface, but he thought in his heart: Looks like there are three major factions in the State of Wei: King Wei, Crown Prince, and Gongzi Jue. The current King Wei is King Xiang, and there seems to be a ten-year period in history when he was in power, and in the end, passed down the position to the Young Master, which is King Wei Zhao. As for what Gongzi Jue is called, he doesn't even leave any traces in history, and doesn't seem to win the battle for the throne.
