Seeing that King Qin's face calmed down, Gan Mao continued: "Great King, if Gongsun Yan and the State of Chu are going to be unfavorable to the State of Qin, then Gongsun Yan will return to the State of Chu after reaching an alliance intention with the State of Wei, you must know that the State of Chu will personally greet him outside the Palace of Chu. Gongsun Yan did not return to the Chu State, which means that he was not reused in the Chu State. The best situation of Gongsun Yan in the Chu State is the situation that Wu Zi encountered in the past, although he was trusted by the King of Chu, but he had no merit and still could not be reused by the King of Chu. ”

"Therefore, under the condition that Gongsun Yan cannot be reused by the King of Chu, it is extremely unlikely that Chu will directly prepare to attack Qin, but now because of Gongsun Yan, Chu has made a great change in the foreign policy of Chu to attack Qi and wait and see."

"The current situation is that Gongsun Yan is brazenly attracting the attention of Qin in Wei, and there are two other envoys from Chu who are also going to Zhao and Han with great fanfare, which shows that Chu is currently using Yangmou."

"Chu and Qin have made peace, and Chu has a great possibility of forming an alliance with Wei, and then Chu will get the support of Zhao or South Korea, if Yan is the prince or other sons of Yan, or Chu directly forges a request for help from Yan and asks Chu to send troops to Qi to rescue Yan."

"Then the State of Chu has a legitimate reason to join the alliance to attack the State of Qi, with the strength of the State of Chu and the favorable position of the State of Qi, then it is very likely that the other countries will take the State of Chu as the leader and take the State of Chu as the longitudinal commander to attack Qi."

Zhang Yi listened to what Gan Mao said, and only half of it was heard, and his face turned completely white.

The strategy he had just formulated for the Qin State to fight for hegemony had not yet been implemented, and now it had been cracked by the Chu State.

If he really let Wei and Chu form an alliance, then his strategy would become a joke.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yi was secretly glad that the work he had done in the Wei State had not completely failed, at least there was still time to destroy the Chu-Wei alliance.

Unlike Zhang Yi, King Qin Huiwen's originally calm face at this time suddenly turned blue.

Chu Guolai came to such a hand, and suddenly let the eyes see the hegemony of the hand, and flew away directly.

Zhang Yi said to King Qin Huiwen: "Great King, I am afraid that the changes that have taken place in the Chu State at this time have already shown that the Chu State has realized the disadvantage of standing by and watching, and is ready to take action against the Qi State. ”

Seeing this, he couldn't help but be furious and said: "If the Chu State and our Qin State compete for the position of Qi Commander, aren't you afraid that our Qin State will be angry and just wait and see from the rear like the Qi State a few years ago?" If our Qin State goes one step further and sends troops to attack Chu when the countries are in a big war, wouldn't Chu be afraid? ”

Zhang Yi screamed when he heard this: "It's not good! ”

When King Qin Huiwen heard this, he immediately asked, "Xiangguo, what's wrong." ”

Zhang Yi said with a bitter face: "King, just after hearing what you said, Weichen thought of a country that has been ignored by us. ”

When King Qin Huiwen heard Zhang Yi mention it, he immediately reacted: "Yue Guo!" ”

Zhang Yi nodded: "Great King, Chu Yue has always been at odds before, and Yue Guo is too far away from our Qin State, and because Yue Guo has not been to the Central Plains for a long time, we have ignored Yue Guo." ”

"There are millions of armored soldiers in the Chu State, and now there are nearly 600,000 people in the Qin State, including 200,000 in the Jingcui Department of the Zhu State of the Chu State and 100,000 in the Department of the Great General Qu Lu, which are the main forces fighting against our Qin State. The remaining 400,000 were used to defend the four kingdoms of Qi, Wei, Song and Yue. ”

"The premise for our Qin State to be able to sneak attack Chu State is that Jing Cui and Qu Kuo's troops move east to attack Qi, resulting in a flaw in Chu State's defense line."

"But if Yue and Chu make peace, or even if Yue is persuaded by Chu to send troops to Qi together, then the army in the eastern part of Chu to defend against Qi and Yue will immediately become the main force of Chu to attack Qi."

"If this happens, only the 100,000 elite soldiers of Qu Kuo's department need to move eastward, then the Chu State will easily gather nearly 400,000 people of the Chu-Yue coalition army on the border of the Qi State, plus the armies of Zhao and Wei, it can be claimed to be a million people."

"In this way, if our Qin State wants to sneak attack the Chu State, we will still face nearly 500,000 defenders of the Chu State. Aside from the garrisons in other places, the 200,000 troops under Jingcui's department alone, as long as they rely on favorable terrain, then even if our Qin State has all the elite troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed in a sneak attack. ”

Hearing this, the chief Wei Zhang was shocked and said: "What Xiangguo means is that if the Chu State joins the coalition army, even if it is only supported by Zhao and Wei, once it makes peace with Chu Yue, then even if the Chu State starts a war with the Qi State and our Qin State at the same time, there will be no problem." ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "This situation is not that the State of Chu is challenging our State of Qin and the State of Qi at the same time, but that our State of Qin is treacherous and joins forces with the State of Qi to challenge the five countries of Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han and Yan. ”

"But if our Qin State does this, then the Three Jin and Yan Kingdoms, which were originally friendly with our Qin State, will turn their backs on us, and the Qin State will once again become the target of crusade by various countries."

Sima Cuo sighed and said: "And the most critical part of Chu State's move, as Xiang Guo said before, once Chu State joins the coalition army, then the victory rate of Qin State and Chu State competing for longitudinal length is extremely low. And once the coalition army and the Qi State are in the war, send troops to sneak attack the rear of the coalition army, and lose the reputation of the world. It is precisely because of this that when the Five Kingdoms invaded Qin in the past, the Qi State also did not sneak attack the rear of the coalition army. ”

"Otherwise, even if the sneak attack is successful, how can a country that has lost its prestige in the world unite its princes and dominate the world!"

Zhang Yi saw that Sima was wrong to take care of his face, and missed a point, and raised it himself: "Moreover, even if the Chu State cannot join the coalition army, as long as the Chu and Wei marriage alliances are successful, then our Qin State and the soldiers of the world, the hegemony plan of attacking Chu has already failed." ”

Hearing Zhang Yi and Sima Cuo's words, the hall was heavy, Chu State's plan was not invulnerable, at least everyone present thought of a way, that is, Qin State immediately sent troops to Qi State, as long as Qi State was defeated, then Chu State naturally had no need to join the coalition army.

However, there are great risks in this, one is the danger that the Chu State will take the opportunity to sneak attack the rear, and the other is the danger that it may not be able to hold out with the Qi State.

The first danger naturally does not need to be mentioned, and the second danger will cause the Qin State to work in vain, and in the end, only the Chu State has the spare strength to help all parties.

Whether it is the state of Chu to mediate, or to help the coalition side, or to help the state of Qi, it will make the state of Chu gain great prestige, so that the state of Chu will win without a fight, and the state of Qin will suffer a big loss.

Zhang Yi thought about it, sighed and said: "For the sake of today's plan, the king has no choice but to see the move and break up the Chu-Wei alliance first. However, if our Qin State does not send troops to attack Qi for a long time, then the next Chu-Wei alliance activity may not be easily dismantled. ”
