Having swallowed up all of Qin Dynasty's Hexi Land, Wei State's overall strength surged once more!
It was faintly showing signs of becoming the strongest among the Seven States!
And that trend was well deserved. Wu Qi won battle after battle, and the Wei Wu Battalion under his command was unstoppable, conquering vast territories for Wei State!
With his record of using three hundred thousand Wei Wu Battalion soldiers to crush Qin Dynasty's two million veteran Qin soldiers, Wu Qi established his fame in a single stroke!
Wu Qi's name resounded throughout the Nine Provinces and Four Seas.
God of War of Hexi!
That was the honorary title the world bestowed upon Wu Qi.
With Wu Qi expanding its territory, Wei State became a true hegemon!
The first hegemon of the Warring States era!
Wu Qi, the first man to be stabbed in the back.
It was the same old problem again.
Merit Shakes the Lord.
Wu Qi was stabbed in the back yet again.
More than half of Wei State's title and status as the foremost hegemon of the Warring States era had been earned by Wu Qi.
Such merit was bound to arouse the jealousy of petty men.
After Marquis Wen of Wei died, Marquis Wu of Wei ascended the throne.
Marquis Wu of Wei did not rely on or trust Wu Qi as much as his father had.
Instead, Marquis Wu of Wei had many flaws.
Suspicion, narrow-mindedness, and favoritism toward relatives and nobles.
Those were all his shortcomings.
Yet after Wei State's Prime Minister Tian Wen died, everyone in Wei State—from civil and military officials to soldiers in the army—wanted Wu Qi to become prime minister.
To serve as Wei State's Prime Minister.
To continue leading Wei State toward growth and strength, and create new glory.
