Chapter 124: Zhang Yi Appears
In the face of the King of Wei (King Hui) Chen, who said Zhao Yong's tyranny and his prestige in the country, asked the King of Wei to send troops to escort (send troops) to restore his throne.
Wei Kang, the king of Wei, spent a lot of effort on the last time the Five Kingdoms Tu Zhao, and he hoped that through the success of Tu Zhao this time, he could reinvigorate the overlord of Wei. And Zhao Guo took out the posture of smashing the pot and selling iron, and would rather destroy the country than splash your blood, and finally after weighing the pros and cons, he could only give up.
The Five Kingdoms plotted Zhao, and the success was successful, but it also allowed Wei Kang to see Zhao Yong's methods and the appearance of capable ministers around Zhao Yong. This is definitely a disaster for the Wei State, and it must be implemented to cut off the troubles.
Wei Guoxiang helped Gong Zhong to interrupt the foaming Gongzi Jie with a smile and asked: "Gongzi has always said that Zhao Guo, your allies support you to return to China, can you tell me how many people support you?" ”
Gongzijie is just a guy with excellent eloquence and brash who belongs to the group of people who are talented and sparse. In fact, such a person inherited the throne of Zhao State, which was of great benefit to his Wei State. Good control, good bullying.
This time is not a war to destroy the country, and the Wei State now has no ability to destroy the country, so it can only support a vassal puppet close to the Wei State and the Wei State. For this reason, this time the troops can only be carried out independently by their own Wei State, and if Neiying is weak, he may not be able to hit the fox and provoke him.
Gongzijie said proudly: "Although those who were loyal to me were scattered, most of them are still there, but the alliance of the Gongsun family has also fallen to me." Then Zhao Yong'er went against the grain, forcing some nobles to fall to me, and according to the list of allies sent over, half of Zhao was allied with me. ”
"And what about the remaining half? For example, those real generations of nobles of the eight great families, what are their hearts? King Wei looked directly at Gongzi Jie. That's the key.
The list handed over by Gongzijie has a lot of people on it, but they are all small and medium-sized nobles, but there are no big aristocratic families, which shows that the big aristocratic families are still very stable.
"Although the big aristocratic families did not express their support for me, they were hit the hardest by that Tui En Order, and they just cared about the kindness of the previous generations of kings of the Zhao State and did not want to rebel directly, but they all waited and watched, there is no doubt about this."
This explanation is very reasonable.
The Eighth Duke of Zhao was hit hard in this official reform, and he tried his best to get two divisions and three Shangshu positions, which was equivalent to being squeezed out of three.
And the other large and small positions that have always been held by the nobles have also been occupied by the scholars, and it is absolutely unrealistic to say that they have no grudge against Zhao Yong.
It's just that the big aristocratic families are more stable and look farther, and there is no clear result, they are unwilling to mess around with those small noble lords.
After weighing the pros and cons, King Wei and Gong Zhongxuan glanced at each other, but they still hesitated. After all, Zhao is a big country, and Zhao Yong's last move to break the net made Wei still have lingering palpitations.
At that time, Gongzijie bowed at the moment: "If this Gongzi succeeds in recovering the country, he is willing to sacrifice the seven cities around Zhongmu to thank him." Serve Wei as the eternal brother. ”
Hearing such conditions, King Wei's eyes lit up at that time.
Zhongmu used to be the former capital of Zhao, but now he is like a sharp sword inserted into the heart of Wei, making it difficult for Wei to sleep and eat, and isolating Wei's territory into two parts. In order to eliminate this hidden danger, Wei Zhao didn't know how many battles he had fought. If you send Gongzijie back to China and get Zhongmu, then Wei's heart disease will be eliminated.
However, the king of Wei still hesitated, because he was worried that the Qin State would take advantage of his aggression against the Zhao State and take advantage of the situation.
In recent years, Qin and Wei fought several major wars, and Qin repeatedly defeated Wei and captured the land west of the river. The year before last, he won Quwo, which was a huge crushing situation for the Wei State. 51 beautiful
As a result, Qin's behavior caused the vigilance of the Hedong princes, and under the instigation of Su Qin, the Hedong princes began to merge, although there was a small friction within them, but unity was the general trend, so that Qin did not dare to look eastward.
If he sends 100,000 troops to Zhao here, even if he has Gongzi Jie Neiying, it will not be smooth sailing, and when the time comes, he will confront Zhao in Zhao, and Qin will take advantage of the weakness to enter, that is, stealing chickens will not be a loss of rice.
Be cautious, be cautious.
However, just when he hesitated, someone reported that Qin envoy Zhang Yi asked to see him.
King Wei frowned, at this time, what did Qin envoy Zhang Yi come to do?
There are no secrets in this world. In particular, there are still remnants of the previous etiquette, not only does the war not pay attention to a sneak attack, but on the contrary, it is necessary to create public opinion and occupy the moral high ground. Gongzijie and a group of people went around to win over the alliance, preparing to invite the Wei State to send troops to send themselves to seize the unkind Zhao Yongjun This matter is known to passers-by who have long been shouting, in order to gain the sympathy of other princes and the support of the countrymen.
When Qin Guo heard the news, he was overjoyed.
So, King Qin Hui immediately recruited his confidant Zhang Yi to ask if he could get some benefits here.
Zhang Yi was forced to defect to Zhao by his friend Su Qin, and secretly funded him to join Qin, so that he could help him be an intermediary in Qin, make Qin State bad, and make his strategy successful.
As a result, he forgot the nature of the scholars' fame and fortune, Zhang Yi ran to the Qin State, and after showing his talent in front of King Qin Hui at that time, he was appointed as a guest secretary, and King Qin Hui trusted him more.
At this time, Zhang Yi immediately pledged allegiance to the Qin State, and at that time, in order to show his great talent, he offered the King of Qin a joint strategy to deal with his old classmates to resist Qin.
As a result, the two brothers under the same Guiguzi sect, just like Sun Bin and Pang Juan, fought in order to show their ability.
However, Sun Bin and Pang Juan are fighting with two people, while Su Qin and Zhang Yi are driven by the princes of the world, which is not a grade.
At this time, when he heard that Wei was preparing to send Gongzi Jie back to the country to seize the throne, Zhang Yi was overjoyed at that time, and immediately said to King Qin Hui: "What a good opportunity to break up and reunite." At this time, we have to be a-stirring stick, and we must see that the excitement is not too bad. We should support Wei in attacking Zhao, the backbone of the joint column. In this way, the alliance of Zhao Wei can be broken, and as soon as the alliance of Zhao Wei is broken, the alliance will basically be broken, and the threat of the Qin State will go. ”
King Qin Hui thought so, and immediately asked: "How to do it?" ”
Zhang Yi patted his chest and said, "A carriage and a coachman are enough." ”
So, Zhang Yi came to see King Wei Hui.
I heard that Zhang Yi was coming, and no one could see him, but this Zhang Yi wanted to see him, because the year before last, Qin sent Gongzi Hua and Zhang Yi to attack and occupy Puyang. Zhang Yi persuaded King Hui of Qin to return Puyang to Wei, and sent Gongzi Yao to Wei as a hostage. He eased the relationship between Qin and Wei, and gave Wei a chance to sort out the internal contradictions of Hezong, in the eyes of King Wei Hui, Zhang Yi was kind to Wei and was his own person.
The ancients, this brain circuit, this way of thinking, no one.
