Chapter 434

Upon hearing Su Xuan's assessment, Ying Zheng could not help but be stunned, and then he agreed wholeheartedly.

Once upon a time, the Wei Guo was the greatest rival of the Qin Guo. Because the two countries were neighbors, before the Shang Yang reforms in Qin, the Wei Guo often bullied the Qin Guo. At that time, the Qin Guo was both poor and backward, and it was precisely because they suffered an unprecedented defeat at the hands of the Wei Guo that Duke Xiao of Qin made up his mind to reform and strengthen the country. Following the completion of the Shang Yang reforms, the Qin Guo became strong.

The balance of power between the Qin Guo and the Wei Guo was immediately reversed. First, they reoccupied the Hexi region, and then the Qin Guo constantly waged war against the Wei Guo. The national strength of the Wei Guo also constantly declined, and along with it, some of the things that had once made the Wei Guo famous throughout the world gradually withered away in the passage of time.

First were the Wei Wuzu, trained by Wu Qi for the Wei Guo. The Wei Wuzu had once brought great psychological trauma to the Qin Guo. With 50,000 Wei Wuzu, Wu Qi defeated the 500,000-strong army of the Qin Guo, fighting ten against one, and even captured Hangu Pass, occupying all of the Hexi region of the Qin Guo.

Unfortunately, in the Battle of Maling, due to Sun Bin's schemes, Pang Juan died, and the Wei Wuzu withered away from then on. Later, although the Wei Guo intended to imitate Wu Qi and Pang Juan to retrain the Wei Wuzu, they ultimately never reached the height of the original Wei Wuzu. The amount of training and the resources required to support a single Wei Wuzu were things that the current Wei Guo could gradually no longer afford.

After the decline of the Wei Wuzu, another legendary figure emerged in the Wei Guo: Lord Xinling.

Among the Four Lords of the Warring States, Lord Xinling could be ranked first. He once led the allied forces of five states to attack the Qin Guo. If it were not for the fact that the Qin Guo employed a counter-espionage scheme at the critical moment, sowing discord between him and the King of Wei, which prompted the King of Wei to seize his military power, the outcome of that battle would have been unknown. Even so, Lord Xinling was still a person who made the entire Qin Guo extremely wary.

This also led to the fact that even after Lord Xinling was stripped of his power by the King of Wei and lived in seclusion in the land of Xinling, drowning his sorrows in wine and pleasure, the Qin Guo still sent Luo Wang assassins to assassinate him, precisely because the threat posed by this person was simply too great.

In the end, Lord Xinling died in an assassination.

The Wei Wuzu, Lord Xinling—these solid walls of the Wei Guo had already been lost one after another. He had thought that destroying the Wei Guo would be an easy task, but he had not expected that the Wei Guo would still have the city of Daliang.

"Daliang is indeed a first-class impregnable city in the world!"
