Lu Buwei summoned his ministers again. With his actions over the years, Lu Buwei became more and more confident. When he was the prime minister, although he had made contributions, he had no experience in governing the country. Later, he defeated the invading enemies and experienced another major disaster. He recruited the people to dig canals, innovate the military merit system, and promote the development of science and technology. It can be said that he did a lot, and his power was also stabilized.

In the court, the ministers respected him very much and were willing to obey his orders. No one regarded him as the former merchant. They put Lu Buwei and Fan Ju together with the famous ministers of Qin. Lu Buwei was very happy, and at the same time, he gradually had his own ambitions in his heart... Lu Buwei's ambitions seemed different from others. Some prime ministers longed for power, while others longed for wealth and status, but what Lu Buwei pursued was not these.

Lu Buwei once read the "Ma Fu Book" seriously. He could even recite most of the contents in the Ma Fu Book. The content that Ma Fujun had the deepest influence on him was not the strategy of governing the country or those moral articles. What he was interested in was Ma Fujun's theory of becoming a saint. Ma Fujun's theory of becoming a saint was completely copied from Xunzi's theory of saints and added Han Fei's new theory of saints. Ma Fujun believed that no matter what kind of legitimate profession, as long as he could complete his work well, he could be considered a perfect person.

If he can do more things and help more people, then he can be considered a saint. For Ma Fujun, the standards of saints do not seem to be very high, which has slowly made Lu Buwei develop an ambition. Can I also be a person like Ma Fujun? Lu Buwei reforms the military merit system, reduces killing, and strictly prohibits harming the people. Lu Buwei thinks this is his virtue, and he repels foreign enemies and digs out channels. He thinks this is his merit, which is what Ma Fujun said to do his own job well.

In the end, I must still make a statement. It means writing books, so that everyone in the world knows what they think and leave something for future generations. Lu Buwei often thinks about this matter. He wants to gather some people he trusts to help him write books... Of course, the primary issue now is to govern Qin, and his contributions to Qin are still insufficient. Lu Buwei looked at the ministers sitting in front of him, and then said, "The King of Wei and Xinling Jun passed away..."

The generals present lit up. General Meng Ao narrowed his eyes and stood up first, bowed to Lu Buwei, then said: "Please allow me to bring my soldiers to attack Wei."

In the past, Xinling Jun was like a shadow shrouded on the heads of the Qin people. Because he was still there, the Qin people dared not mention anything about sending troops, just as everyone had forgotten the existence of the six countries. But now, Xinling Jun is no longer there and the six countries have lost the guardian god, how could the Qin people be willing to let this opportunity go? Especially Meng Ao, he was ready to avenge the six countries. Xinling Jun was not there, and there were really few people in the six countries that could make Meng Ao pay attention to.

Lu Buwei narrowed his eyes and said, "We have digged the canal and have just comforted the affected people. There is really no food in the country..." Lu Buwei was still a little worried about the issue of food. At this moment, King Zheng of Qin, who was sitting in the upper throne, suddenly asked, "We don't have much food, what about Wei? The five countries came to attack Qin, and the food from Zhao and Chu were all provided by Wei."

"After that, Wei continued to lose to Chu and Zhao, and suffered huge losses."

"The food accumulated by Pingyuan Jun in Wei State should have been exhausted at this moment. They are even less food than us. Why did the Prime Minister take this into consideration?"

King Ying Zheng of Qin, because he had not taken office, sat here in the name of learning when Lu Buwei summoned the ministers. He was not qualified to issue orders, and at most he could put forward his own opinions and suggestions. Over the years, Ying Zheng was silent and listened to everyone's negotiations. This was the first time he spoke. Lu Buwei looked at Ying Zheng with some surprise. Before he knew it, the child had grown up and learned to win over the generals.

Sure enough, when they heard Ying Zheng's words, the generals became very happy. They nodded and said, "The King is right, that's it!" The generals of Qin all yearned for war and hoped to fight more wars and promote themselves to a few more titles. After Lu Buwei came to power, his focus was on domestic government affairs and despised the war, which made the generals a little dissatisfied, but Lu Buwei's status was already very stable, and they had no choice but to be dissatisfied.

Hearing the King of Qin’s remarks at this moment, the generals’ eyes of looking at the King of Qin became hot. If the king took power, would we get a lot of opportunities to fight?

Lu Buwei stroked his beard and said with a smile: "What you said makes sense. Wei is indeed lacking in food, and Zhao and Chu are unable to help him... But I don't understand. I heard before that King Zeng of Wei is your friend, and I am also worried that you will oppose sending troops to Wei. Are you not friends with King Wei?"

The King of Qin said seriously with a cold face: "He is my friend, so after the destruction of Wei, I will not kill him."

Lu Buwei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are right. When countries encounter disasters, they are indeed unable to help Wei. This is indeed the best time to attack Wei. Then please ask General Meng Ao to lead the soldiers to fight against Wei!"

That month, the Qin general Meng Ao led an army of 100,000 to Hangu Pass and attacked Wei from Sanchuan County. The reason for Qin to attack Wei was that the current King of Wei was that during the filial period, he went out and drank, and did not respect his deceased father and Zhongfu. Of course, there were other crimes such as cruelty and persecuting the people. Although the King of Wei has not ascended the throne today, Qin wanted to destroy Wei and arrest the King of Wei alive. The news of Qin's troops also quickly caused shocks among all countries.

Daliang, Wei State

Wei Zeng's hands trembled slightly, Lian Po and Long Yangjun sat on both sides of him. Wei Zeng looked at them, and his fear was relieved for a long time. He tried hard to act calmly, and then said: "Meng... Meng Ao comes to attack Wei State, how should we resist them?" Long Yangjun naturally saw his uneasiness. Long Yangjun didn't think much about it. It is probably normal for the child to encounter such a great enemy just after he came back to ascend the throne.

"Shangjun, a locust plague broke out in Qin State. I heard that it is unlucky to use troops in the year of disaster. Please don't worry, as long as Wei can block the attack of Qin State, they will not last long." Long Yangjun tried to use these words to eliminate the fear in the King of Wei's heart and comfort this little guy. Long Yangjun himself has no descendants, so he treated Wei Zeng as his own child.

After returning to Wei, King Wei also respected Zhongfu, who took care of himself. After leaving the teacher, Long Yangjun asked him to find his feelings as a son. King Wei nodded and said, "How many troops should be summoned to resist them?" Long Yangjun smiled and said, "The Qin people came from afar, let alone General Lian Po is still here. You don't have to worry, General Lian Po will handle these things by himself."

Lian Po was wearing armor and sat in front of them. He ignored him when he heard the words of Long Yangjun. He just looked at King Wei and asked casually: "Shangjun? Are you scared?"

The King of Wei shook his head quickly and said uneasy: "I am not afraid."

Long Yangjun frowned and glared at Lian Po. General Lian Po smiled and said, "I'm scared! How could you not be afraid? Meng Ao brought 100,000 troops to attack Wei. Wei can use no more than 50,000 soldiers, and the food reserves are seriously insufficient. Chu and Zhao have just had a feud with Wei and are unwilling to come for rescue again. In such a situation, who can't be afraid? Why do you think I'm so unfortunate?"

"I have never fought with the enemy in my life without taking advantage...every time it was either insufficient manpower or insufficient food..." Lian Po said, and the King of Wei couldn't help laughing. He found that although Lian Po told the truth, he was no longer as scared as before. The King of Wei said seriously: "I must govern the Wei Kingdom in the future, so that you can also take sufficient army and food to gain an advantage in attacking the enemy!"

Lian Po nodded and then said, "Okay, then I will fight off Meng Ao for you! Please don't forget your promise today!"

Lian Po stood up, and the armor collided with each other, making a sound. Lian Po put his hand on the hilt of the sword around his waist. This was the privilege given to him by the King of Wei. Lian Po frowned and his face became extremely solemn. He said to Long Yangjun: "I want to go to Zhongyang to resist Meng Ao. If I can't stop him, you can take King of Wei away from Daliang and continue to advance to the south."

"General, take care of yourself!" Long Yangjun leaned over and bowed.

Immediately, Lian Po led 40,000 troops from Wei State to go out to block Meng Ao's army.

Meng Ao's army was unstoppable, and the garrisons from all over the Wei State had no way to resist his army. Meng Ao quickly captured many cities on the border, but in Zhongyang, he encountered unprecedented resistance. General Lian Po led the army of Wei State to resist the Qin State's army here. At the beginning, this was the place where Xinling Jun resisted Meng Ao, and the coalition forces built many fortifications here. Now, Lian Po uses these fortifications to resist Meng Ao.

After his death, Xinlingjun was still protecting this country.

Meng Ao chose to leave his army to confront Lian Po. The other troops separated and surrounded the surrounding cities. Lian Po made a quick decision and immediately gave up Zhongyang, led the army to attack Meng Ao's army, taking advantage of the opportunity of Qin's division of troops. Lian Po successfully surrounded a partial division of Qin in the chariot. Lian Po sat in the chariot, holding a spear, and the soldiers behind him beat the war drums. General Lian Po led the way and rushed into the enemy formation.

The Wei army cooperated inside and outside and successfully defeated this partial army.

In the battle of Sourzao, Lian Po caused Qin to lose more than 10,000 people. After Qin reinforcements arrived, Lian Po entered the city to defend again. Meng Ao was furious and did not dare to divide his troops. He summoned a large army to attack Sourzao. Finally, after three days and three nights of uninterrupted siege, Sourzao fell. Old Lian Po led his army to break through and headed to Yanyi. Meng Ao continued to chase. Another tragic siege battle. Lian Po's army was only more than 20,000 people left. Yanyi was captured. Lian Po went to Xuyi and continued to defend, and then to Yongqiu and then to Shanyang City...

When Meng Ao arrived at Shanyang City, the Qin army was particularly tired. The siege equipment was seriously insufficient, and food supplies began to be difficult. Due to many tough battles, Qin State lost many soldiers. As for Lian Po, there should be less than 6,000 people around him who could still stand up to fight. Meng Ao stared at the not-so-high city wall in the distance, and looked at the tired people around him, and said: "The Wei people have no place to escape anymore!"

"If they escape again, they can only return to Daliang!"

"Please work hard to take down Shanyang, capture Lian Po alive, and destroy Wei State! I heard that the achievements of destroying the country are something that many people long for but cannot wait. Now, there is such an opportunity. I will personally direct this city climb!!" Meng Ao ordered the remaining food to be taken out to reward the army, preparing to attack Shanyang after a day of rest. At this time, Lian Po stood on the city wall, looking at the Qin people in the distance and licked his lips.

"These six grains of these people dare to eat and drink in front of me?"

Lian Po called out, and he looked at his side again. Standing beside him were the hungry soldiers of Wei. They had been out of food for a long time. During these days, they had just collected some food from the city. Lian Po refused to rob the people, and the food they collected was not enough to make them eat enough... There were only thousands of soldiers who could still fight, and these thousands were all injured.

In terms of injuries, Lian Po was not very injured. Every time he fought, he rushed to the front and led the way. Therefore, Lian Po had no intact all over his body, his left arm was drooping, and Lian Po could no longer wave his left hand. Blood was still on his face, and arrows were passing through his face and almost shot through his eyes. However, Lian Po never moaned, and chatted with the soldiers as if nothing had happened.

It was precisely because of Lian Po's bravery that the soldiers of Wei did not collapse. They continued to follow Lian Po and fought against the Qin people who were killed in heaven. Lian Po casually wiped the blood on his face and said to everyone: "The Qin people suddenly rewarded the army. It seems that they are going to carry out the last attack. If we can still defend, they will withdraw their troops. When they withdraw, I will take Er Sanzi back to Daliang and share the flesh for Er Sanzi!"

Qin State made a contribution to the attack again, and the Qin State's army began to climb the city from four directions at the same time.

The flying stones hit the city wall, and the arrows in the sky made everyone dare not get up and fight back.
