    In late January, the weather was much warmer than before.

    On this day, with the warm sun shining brightly, Wang Qi led Xiao Qingzhi's team, swore an oath to fight, and set off for the Western Regions.

    This time, only Xiao Qing¡¯s troops and part of Xia Houhu¡¯s imperial army were present in the expedition.

    In other respects, no troops were mobilized.

    In addition, Zhou Zishan and Xiao Qingzhi were accompanying them again, and this time Wang Qi also brought Li Wuji with him.

    In the past, Li Wuji served as Wang Qi's personal attendant and followed Wang Qi on expeditions to the east and west for a period of time.  But later, Wang Qi threw Li Wuji into the imperial court and worked as a member of the official department for many years.

    Now he is transferred out and works with Wang Qi again.

    When the team was on their way, they quickly moved forward, heading west.  In a short period of time, they had entered Hanyang County in Liangzhou.

    This way to the west is very fast.  It was only when Wang Qi's army set off on a large scale that the news had already spread.  The news spread to the Western Regions in the shortest possible time, to Gaochang County, the former Gaochang State, which is now the capital of the Wei State.

    Cao Xuan's current Wei State has a large territory, covering twenty countries in the Western Regions, and bringing all the regions under the Wei State's command.

    This was completed in a short period of time.

    Its strength is not weak.

    Cao Xuan has been thinking about it, wanting to take revenge on Wang Qi, wanting to take revenge and return to the Central Plains.  However, when the Qi State was attacked before, Cao Xuan did not expect that the Qi State controlled by Wang Qi would actually capture Xianbei, the Xiongnu, and Goguryeo in a short period of time. Even the extremely powerful Haixi Empire was no match for the Qi State.

    This made Cao Xuan extremely anxious.

    "Can he still defeat such a powerful Qi State? Can he still fight back?"

    Cao Xuan was anxious and restless. Days would go by and he was still adjusting and stabilizing the situation in the Western Regions.

    On this day, Cao Xuan was handling government affairs.

    The current governance of various countries in the Western Region has restricted too much of Cao Xuan's energy.  The reason is very simple. Countries in the Western Region have different customs and different languages.  In particular, the systems, cultures, etc. of each place are different, and each place is controlled by the great nobles.

    In summary, although Cao Xuan is said to be unified, in essence, he is just a relatively large force.

    So it is easy to defeat him. To truly integrate these countries one by one, it cannot be completed overnight. It takes too much time.

    When Cao Xuan was handling government affairs, an attendant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wants to see you."

    "pass!"

    Cao Xuan gave an order.

    As the order was conveyed, not long after, Cheng Lin hurriedly entered.

    Cheng Lin is much older now.

    After all, I am getting older.

    But now Cheng Lin is serving as the prime minister.  The Wei State originally established by Cao Xuan did not have the position of prime minister.  With the death of Jia Yu and the fall of many courtiers, there were too many people around Cao Xuan that he could trust.

    Cao Xuan established himself in Gaochang State. After destroying Gaochang, he re-established Wei State and appointed Cheng Lin as prime minister to take charge of government affairs.

    Cheng Lin entered and said, "Your Majesty."

    Cao Xuan waved his hand and said: "Prime Minister, sit down!"

    Cheng Lin lifted up her robe and sat down. He looked serious and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the Qi State has now sent people to take action. The Qi State's army is dispatched to the Western Region. The Qi State's army this time is temporarily five  Sixty thousand people. But including the Zhu Yuanshan tribe guarding the Liangzhou border, there are probably eighty or ninety thousand people."

    Cao Xuandao: "So, Wang Qi must destroy our Wei Kingdom this time?"

    Cheng Lin said: "That's what it means."

    After a pause, Cheng Lin continued: "And there is one more thing. There has been no news about Lingyuan Mountain, which the old minister arranged to lurk in Chang'an City. It is very likely that Lingyuan Mountain has been captured. Lingyuan Mountain is very clear about the news about our Wei State. He was captured  If we take it, then a lot of our news must have spread."

    Cao Xuandao: "If the two countries really go to war, we, the Wei State, cannot hide the news, and it will not be surprising if it spreads. Therefore, it is okay for the news to be revealed that Lingyuan Mountain has been captured. The problem now is that the Qi State's army is coming.  The question of how to resist?¡±

    As a person who worked his way up from the bottom, Cao Xuan is well aware of the hardships of war.

    His army¡¯s combat effectiveness is still inferior to Qi¡¯s.

    Whether it is Qi¡¯s national strength, population base, or even combat effectiveness, it is stronger than Wei.

    This is something that must be facedSome people, these nobles, as soon as they heard that Qi was coming, thought that Wei was in danger and that Wei might not be able to stop it, they had other thoughts.  "

    "As everyone knows, there is no place for nobles under Qi State. If these nobles are willing to release their rights and give up everything in their hands, they will submit to Qi State."

    "Then, I didn't say anything."

    "I also believe, General Aimaiti, that you are a smart man and can understand the stakes involved."

    Cao Xuan's words seemed very relaxed. There was nothing exciting or angry.  What he did was as if he was thinking about the great nobles.

    After hearing this, Aimaiti frowned.

    He felt a little solemn in his heart.

    The policy of Qi State is so abominable that all the land is included in Qi State.  All resources must be returned to the imperial court, which is simply perverse.

    The great nobles headed by Aimaiti controlled the most land and resources. Although he served Cao Xuan, in essence, these people were also the emperors of a country and had their own rights.

    Therefore, they, people of noble origin, do not want their rights to be deprived.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
