King Qin Huiwen nodded, if it weren't for this reason, when Gongzi An asked to borrow 500,000 stone grain just now, he would have directly refused.

Although the Yan State is very miserable, but the Qin State is not much better, since the accession of the King of Qin, including the years of Qin Xiaogong's later years, the wars encountered by the Qin State have not been broken, either being beaten or fighting other countries.

Although Qin's farmers were good at farming, Qin's taxes were also very high, and Qin's grain was grown by its own farmers, not out of thin air.

As the most important strategic material, grain can be easily borrowed.

Seeing King Qin nodding, Zhang Yi continued: "King, although Yan Guo seems to borrow a lot of grain, there are not many corn and beans in it, and wheat accounts for more than half. In recent years, there has been no natural disaster in our Qin country, the people have enough food, and the wheat and rice are piled up a lot, rather than rotting in the warehouse, it is better to lend it to the Yan country. ”

Gan Mao sighed and said: "I think that the robbery of the Qi State in the Yan State must be very serious, now the Yan State not only borrows grain from our Qin State, but also borrows grain from South Korea, not only corn and beans, but even wheat and rice also need to be borrowed, which can be seen in the tragic situation." ”

Zhang Yi nodded and continued: "Great King, since the Yan Kingdom is so short of grain, then our Qin State can raise the wheat to 500,000 stones. ”

King Qin Huiwen was stunned and asked, "Does Xiangguo have any plans?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Great King, there is a state of Zhao between our Qin State and the Yan State, and although the State of Zhao has made peace with us, it is still allied with the State of Chu and the State of Qi. ”

"What the minister means is that we have postponed the transportation of corn and beans on the grounds of years of war, and first prepared 500,000 wheat rice to Yan Guo in advance, and transported it several times, the first time 100,000 stone wheat rice, and the second time 100,000 stone wheat rice."

"Before the third shipment, rumors were spread in Zhao State, saying that this time we were transporting 200,000 stone of high-grade corn, and then after the wheat rice entered the territory of Zhao State, we sent people to intercept this batch of wheat and rice, and then burned all these wheat rice with a fire."

Gan Mao hesitated: "Xiangguo, this time the Yan Kingdom came to borrow grain from our Qin State, obviously planning to take refuge in us, is it too much to divide the relationship between Yan and Zhao at this time?" ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "No, the main purpose of this move is not to drive a wedge between Zhao and Yan, but to win over Qi and Yan." ”

"Woo Qi and Yan?" King Qin Huiwen was thoughtful.

Zhang Yi said: "The burning of the grain of the Yan Kingdom is only directly affected by the Yan Kingdom, and it is also the relationship between Yan and Zhao that is damaged. ”

"But the news from the Yan State says that the King of Yan is now following the example of King Goujian of Yue and the filial piety of the ancestors, hanging himself internally, sharing weal and woe with the people, and issuing an order to recruit talents, this kind of behavior even our Qin State knows, and the Qi State must also know, and now the King of Qi is afraid that it will be difficult to sleep and eat."

Gan Mao came to his senses: "What Xiangguo means is that the reason why Qi has not attacked Yan now is that Qi Yue is at war, and second, Yan and Zhao are allies, once Yan and Zhao have an ally, then it will be an opportunity for Qi." ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said: "That's right, Yan is weak and Qi is strong, if Yan wants to retaliate against Qi, it must contact other countries, as long as we tear a rift between Yan and Zhao, then Qi will definitely act, not to send troops to Yan State, that is, to win over Yan State." ”

"If the State of Qi plans to send troops to the State of Yan, then we will mediate, if the State of Qi is to win over the State of Yan, then it is our State of Qin that uses the State of Yan to win over the State of Qi. Once Qi Yan gets close to our Qin State, then Zhao and Han will not be far away..."

The capital of Yingdu of Chu.

"King, Yan Guo is in a hurry." Chen Zhen received an urgent report from the king of E, and immediately asked to see the king of Chu.

Xiong Huai was stunned and asked, "Yan Guo?" Our spies sent back information from Yan Kingdom so quickly? ”

Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "Back to the king, it is not the information sent back by the spies, but the information sent back by the Ejun Kuaima, the Yan King of the Yan Kingdom is abnormal. ”

"Is there something unusual about King Yan?" Xiong Huai took the silk book handed over by Chen Zhen and opened it to take a look.

King Yan apprenticed to Guo Kui, built a golden platform, issued a talent seeking order, and followed the example of King Goujian...

Guo Kui···

Talent Seeking Order···

Golden Terrace···

"it..."

Thousands of horses galloped in his heart, and a long-forgotten sentence blurted out.

It doesn't matter if Guo Kui doesn't know him, but the order to seek merit and the golden platform appeared in Yan Kingdom at the same time, so Xiong Huai has affirmed that this newly enthroned prince is the famous King Yan Zhao in later generations.

And the one who is tied to King Yan Zhao is Le Yi.

With Zhuge Liang's ascension to the altar in later generations, Zhuge Liang's two idols, Guan Zhong and Le Yi, are also widely known in later generations.

Guan Zhong became famous because he let Qi Huan dominate, and of course, in this era, Guan Zhong is still a figure on the altar.

And the reason why Le Yi became famous was because of the destruction of the Qi State.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai blurted out: "The country of Qi is over." ”

Chen Zhen didn't hear the first two words clearly, but the last four words were heard clearly.

Chen Zhen thought for a while, and said disapprerovingly: "King, I'm afraid this statement is a bit exaggerated. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a moment, shook his head, put the matter of the destruction of the Qi State in his heart, and asked Chen Zhen, "Why did Xianqing say this." ”

"The widow heard that the king of Yue Gou Jian lay down and tasted the guts, hanged himself and asked Gu, and then destroyed the state of Wu. Qin Xiaogong issued a recruitment order, and the Qin State suddenly became stronger, recaptured the Hexi Land in one fell swoop, and dominated the world since then, until now, the Qin State is still a big country. ”

"Now King Yan is using the strategy of King Goujian of Yue and Qin Xiaogong at the same time, according to the opinion of the widow, this is the conscription of the Yan State to rise up and the Qi State to perish!"

Chen Zhen shook his head and said: "Great King, the reason why the Yue Kingdom was able to destroy the Wu State is because although the Wu State can dominate the world, the Wu State has always been a small country, and the Wu Wangfu is cruel and unkind, so the Wu State died in three battles. ”

"As for the Qin State, Qin Xiaogong recruited talents, and Shang Jun changed the law from Qin to Qin, and it was not a one-day effort. Qin Xiangong, the father of Qin Xiaogong in the past, stayed in Wei for thirty years and has been studying Wei's strategy to strengthen the country. After returning to China and ascending the throne, he began to follow the example of Wei to change the law, which lasted twenty-three years, and then Shang Jun continued to change the law in Qin, which lasted another twenty years, but the result was that he needed to use trickery and fraud to besiege Wei with the three kingdoms of Qi, Zhao and Han, and then defeated Wei. Although the Wei State is weak now, it is still not to be underestimated. ”

"Although the State of Qi has been weakened, it is still comparable to the Wei State that was also weakened at the time of King Wei Hui. Compared with the Qin State in the past, the Yan State at this time is probably still compared to the Qin State at the beginning of the reign of Qin Xiangong. And the wisdom of King Qi far surpassed that of King Wei Hui. ”

"Therefore, Weichen thinks that not only will the Yan Kingdom not be able to destroy the Qi State, on the contrary, if the Yan King does not have the humility of the Yue King Goujian, I am afraid that the Yan Kingdom will be weakened by the Qi State again, and even the country will die again."

"Moreover, even if King Yan succumbs to the King of Qi, then if Yan wants to defeat Qi, it needs to be like Qin, unite the Three Jin and our Chu State, and it is possible to defeat Qi, but even so, if you want to destroy Qi, unless..."

Xiong Huai saw Chen Zhen saluting, and knew in his heart that unless the Chu State destroyed the Yue State, he would set his eyes on the Qi State.
