"Lord, Wei Wenhou is the overlord of the Warring States Period. Will he really be willing to surrender?"

During this period, Lu Lingqi was following Zhang Hua. When she heard that Wei Wenhou was going to surrender, she couldn't help but doubt Wei Wenhou's sincerity.

"No matter how powerful a prince is, it will be useless without troops."

Zhang Hua disagreed.

Han Xin ordered troops, and the more he could be, the better.

Even if Han Xin and Wu Qi had no troops, they could not defeat a reckless general.

Zhang Hua led his troops outside Shangdang City, while Wei Si, the Marquis of Wen of Wei, came out to welcome him with a group of civil officials and military generals.

Wei Wenhou still had 30,000 Wei troops, but Wei Wenhou evaluated his strength and was not enough to compete with the Xia army, so he simply surrendered with the civil and military officials of the Wei State, which was also considered a hero who knew the times.

Zhang Hua narrowed his eyes. Wei Wenhou was worthy of being the overlord of the Warring States Period. He was able to stretch and bend a real man, and he also took the initiative to leave the city, reducing Zhang Hua's vigilance towards him.

"The criminal Wei Si leads the Duke and Minister of Wei out of Guo to surrender, and he is still hoping to take it in."

Wei Wenhou held the seal of Wei in both hands and handed it to Zhang Hua, and officially surrendered.

Behind the Wei Wenhou, civil and military ministers were divided into different places.

On one side is Xinlingjun, the military general represented by Le Yang, and on the other side are civil officials of Wei.

Zhang Hua, the generals of the Wei State, recognized almost all of them during the Battle of Changping.

The lineup of civil officials in Wei State was also quite luxurious.

After all, Wei Wenhou was the first overlord of the Warring States Period. He started the century-old hegemony of Wei. At that time, the lineup of civil officials and military generals was the highest among the seven countries.

Zhang Hua took over the seal of Wei openly, then led his troops into Shangdang City, recruited 30,000 Wei troops, and held a banquet to celebrate his victory.

"This is the Prime Minister Zhai Huang and Li Kui."

Xinlingjun introduced the two at the table.

Wang Shouren, Zhou Yu and others were moved when they heard about the reputation of these two people.

These two people have a big background.

Zhang Hua had inquired about the civil servants and military generals under Wei Wenhou in advance and had already known the origin of the two.

Zhai Huang was born into the Di clan, but he recommended a large number of pillars of Wei Wenhou. Wu Qi, Leyang, Li Kui and other talents were recommended to Wei Wenhou, who assisted Wei Wenhou for 30 years and eventually achieved hegemony.

This person's ability to recognize people is quite terrible.

Not to mention Li Kui.

Li Kui's reforms achieved the century-old hegemony of Wei State.

Li Kui was equivalent to Shang Yang's Qin State.

Shang Yang's reform also drew on many experiences in Li Kui's reforms to make Qin prosperous and powerful.

Both of these people are talented.

No wonder Wei Wenhou could become the first overlord of the Warring States Period.

Even without Wu Qi, the power established by Wei Wenhou was still the richest force in the eighteen towns of the princes in Taihang Mountains.

The reason is that civil officials such as Zhai Huang and Li Kui helped Wei Wenhou manage the territory, and military generals such as Wei Wuji and Le Yang led their troops to fight outside. Without Wu Qi, Wei Wenhou's power was not much worse.

Unfortunately, Wei Wenhou was unlucky. In the Taihang Mountains, the eighteen towns of princes fought in a melee and maintained a delicate balance. No one had the chance to break the balance first. Instead, he was defeated by the outside Zhang Hua and then subdued.

"This is Ximen Bao, the Ye Ling, who is good at controlling water and farming."

Xinlingjun introduced another person.

"Ximen Bao? I have long admired the name."

Zhang Hua learned the allusion of Ximen Bao governing Ye since he was a child.

In short, it was that feudal superstition in Yecheng was prevalent at that time. Ximen Bao tried to get rid of the three elders, Wu Zhu, who harmed the country, and broke the feudal superstition, and then led the people of Yecheng to open canals to control water and develop agriculture.

In the era when superstition was prevalent, Ximen Bao could break the superstition and kill the powerful gentry who harmed one side, making Yecheng prosperous and powerful. This courage has exceeded 99% of civil officials.

"I can only give orders from a county, and I cannot enter the hall of elegance."

Ximen Bao heard Zhang Hua say that he had long admired Daqie and was flattered and did not dare to overwhelm the limelight of Wei Wenhou, Li Ju, Zhai Huang and others.

In general, the king of Wei Wenhou, as well as the two prime ministers Li Ju and Zhai Huang, have the highest status.

Li Kui and Zhai Huang were also secretly observing Zhang Hua, after all, they would serve the new lord in the future.

The surrender of Wei Wenhou had little impact on the ministers below, and they still performed their duties.

After various military generals of the Wei State surrendered, Zhang Hua could see the heroic attributes of the civil officials under Wei Wenhou.

【Hero】: Zhai Huang

【Level】: 32

[Commander]:55 [Military power]:45 [Intellect]:82 [Politics]:85

[Talent]: Knowing people (Zhai Huang can see a person's potential and talent, and use it to discover talents)

[Article]: The Prime Minister of Wei State, who has been prime minister for more than 30 years, recommended a large number of pillars of Wei Wenhou.

Zhai Huang has the talent of "knowing people", and all kinds of talents cannot escape Zhai Huang's eyes.

This talent is of great help to those who discover territories.

Zhai Huang is a minister who assists the king and does not need to be very strong himself, but as long as he recommends talents to the king, he will do his best.

For a lord, Zhai Huang is really an indispensable type of talent.

【Hero】: Li Xu

【Level】: 33

[Commander]: 70 [Military power]: 40 [Intellect]: 85 [Politics]: 96

[First talent]: Agriculturalism (Li Kui is proficient in various agricultural policies and can flexibly use these agricultural policies. He is easy to gain support from the landlord class and the peasant class, but it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among the merchant group)

[Second Talent]: Rule of Law (Li Kui belongs to the power, the influence of the Legalists has expanded, officials who accept Li Kui's theory have strengthened their awareness of the rule of law, recognized legal provisions, attached importance to private property, and the influence of powerful families has decreased, but it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among the aristocratic families)

[Article]: Prime Minister of Wei State, a representative figure of the Legalists of the Warring States Period, presided over the reform.

Li Ku's ability is similar to Han Fei. Both of them are representatives of the Legalists of various schools of thought. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Legalists put forward the view that private property is sacred and inviolable, which is not a Western patent.

If Zhang Hua remembers correctly, the Legalists of the Warring States Period put forward a point of view - a rabbit will leave, and a hundred people will chase it. Rabbits are accumulated in the market and pass by without regard. If you don’t want a rabbit, you can’t argue.

In other words, a rabbit ran away in the wild, and many people chased it, but they couldn't even look at it when there were so many rabbits in the market. This is not a rabbit that didn't want the market, but the ownership has been determined and can't be fought over anymore, otherwise it would be a violation of the law and would be punished.

Li Kui also pays attention to the protection of private property. Under Li Kui's governance, even if he picks up things on the road, he will be sentenced to severe punishment.

Although Li Kui's methods are harsh, they are also the most suitable means in troubled times.

Han Fei inherited some of Li Kui's ideas, and the territory governed by Li Kui could be easily merged with Zhang Hua's current territory.

"Then there is Ximen Bao who governed Ye."

Zhang Hua checked Ximen Bao’s hero attributes again.

【Hero】: Ximen Bao

【Level】: 35

[Commander]: 63 [Military power]: 50 [Intellect]: 79 [Politics]: 84

[First Talent]: Break superstition (the people under the governance of Ximen Bao have reduced their superstition of strange powers and gods such as witchcraft, and the people are more pragmatic)

[Second Talent]: Water control (can speed up the construction of water conservancy projects and quality. The water conservancy projects built have better irrigation, flood control, and canal transportation effects)

[Article]: The Ye Order of Wei State.

...

Ximen Bao can also be said to be a capable official.

Wei Wenhou has no shortage of available civil officials under his command.

In addition to Li Kui, Zhai Huang and Ximen Bao, there are other civil officials. It can be said that the lineup of civil officials and military generals of Wei Wenhou is not much inferior to that of various dynasties.

Zhang Hua checked the panels of generals of the Wei State Xinlingjun, Leyang and Zhu Hai.

【Hero】: Zhu Hai

【Level】: 65

[Commander]:51 [Military power]:92 [Intellect]:50 [Politics]:25

[Talent]: Great power burst (Zhu Hai, as a butcher, is born with courage and can temporarily increase his strength and easily wield weapons weighing more than one or two hundred kilograms)

[Article]: A butcher from Wei State, one of the disciples of Xinlingjun.

People who are righteous are often slaughtering dogs, and those who are unfaithful are mostly scholars.

Although Zhu Hai was a butcher and had no ability to command troops, he was a hero and became Xinling Jun's confidant. Zhang Hua also had a good impression of this person.

【Hero】: Le Sheep

【Level】: 57
