King Qin Huiwen nodded and asked, "Xiangguo, how do you break up the Chu-Wei alliance now?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "King, the most important thing at present is to break the Chu and Wei marriages first. ”

As soon as King Qin Huiwen heard Zhang Yi mention it, he immediately understood what Zhang Yi was going to say.

"Chu Wei marriage! What does Sangkook mean prince? ”

Zhang Yi nodded and said, "King, that's exactly the case." ”

"Now that the King of Wei has only one concubine of marriage age, then if Wei wants to marry the prince of Chu, then there will be only one person."

"Although the crown prince is still a few years away from the crown ceremony, if he just goes to ask for marriage, it will be enough."

"Now that Chu and Wei only have the intention of marrying, and Chu has not proposed to Wei to marry, then our Qin State only needs to propose to ask for the princess of Wei for the crown prince before the envoy of Chu State arrives in Wei State to formally ask for the King of Wei."

"If Wei agrees to Qin's request, then Chu will inevitably make enemies with Wei when he sees that Wei repents and is teased by Wei."

"If Wei does not agree to Qin's proposal, then Qin will threaten Wei to betray the alliance and force Wei not to form an alliance with Chu, then Wei will inevitably agree to Qin's request in the face of the danger of Qin and Qi."

King Qin Huiwen agreed: "However, although the crown prince is still a few years away from the crown ceremony, it is the right time to ask Wei for marriage at this time. ”

Speaking of this, King Qin Huiwen hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Now that there is such a big change in the Chu State, the widow is deeply worried, and besides, we can stop the Wei State once, but we can't stop the Wei State for the second and third time, even if we can stop the Wei State, we can't stop the Zhao State." ”

"What's more, if you keep it for a long time, how can we in the Qin State reverse this unfavorable impact?"

Zhang Yi heard this: "Great King, as long as our Qin State does not send troops to Qi State for a day, then this adverse effect will not be eliminated for a day, but we can temporarily stabilize the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han." ”

"How to stabilize Sanjin?" King Qin Huiwen asked.

Zhang Yi replied: "King, give Sanjin a positive answer, just say that our Qin State is ready to send troops to Qi State, but it will take some time to prepare, and you only need to give Sanjin a reassurance." ”

King Qin Huiwen nodded.

Gan Mao said at this time: "Great King, not only the Three Jins, but our Qin State will also send an envoy to the Yue State to ask the Qin State and the Yue State to form an alliance. ”

When King Qin Huiwen heard this, the distance between Qin and Yue was extremely long, and even if he was alone and fast, it would take a long time to reach Yue from Qin.

If Qin and Yue form an alliance, then its symbolic meaning far exceeds the practical meaning, and at present, it can disgust the state of Chu.

Sima thought for a moment, and said happily: "Wonderful, king, the strategy of the alliance between Qin and Yue is very good, and the alliance between our Qin State and the Yue State is beneficial and harmless, please check it out." ”

Gan Mao couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at Sima Cuo's joy, and secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that this plan that was purely disgusting to the Chu State had other unexpected effects?

Qin King Zhang Yi and the others looked at Sima Cuo curiously, not knowing what he had discovered.

Zhu Li asked with a smile: "I don't know what benefits the Qin-Yue Alliance thinks the Qin-Yue Alliance will do to the Qin State." ”

Sima Cuo saluted solemnly to King Qin Huiwen and said: "King, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, and the ministers have been in Shu for several years, worrying day and night, but there is no way. ”

King Qin Huiwen asked, "Why is Keqing worried?" ”

Sima replied cuoly: "Great King, the minister is worried about the Chu State, and now only the Chu State can pose a threat to the Qin State, and our Qin State has only three routes to attack the Chu State, two of which are waterways. ”

"Everyone in the world knows that the sailors of the Chu State are the best in the world, and the sailors of our Qin State are not worth mentioning at all in the face of the sailors of the Chu State."

"In this way, although our Qin State occupies a reasonable topography in the upper reaches, it has never been able to turn its advantage into a victory. Although the state of Chu is in an unfavorable location, it can rely on the advantages of the sailor to be fearless of our Qin state. ”

"The minister was deeply worried about this, and wanted to build a sailor in the land of Bashu, but he suffered from the lack of excellent shipbuilders and excellent water generals, so he wasted three years in vain."

Sima Cuo said, the worry on his face disappeared, and he said with joy: "If our Qin State and the Yue State form an alliance, it will greatly reverse the disadvantage of the Qin State in terms of sailors." ”

"The strength of the sailors of the Chu State is known to the whole world, and the sharpness of the sailors of the Chu State is also known to the world, the Chu State is proficient in water warfare, and the Yue State is also proficient in water warfare."

"Great King, if we form an alliance between the Qin State and the Yue State, and ask the Yue State for shipbuilders and men proficient in water warfare with heavy gifts, the King of Yue will definitely agree."

As soon as everyone heard it, they knew that Sima Cuo was continuing to sell his plan to dominate the world, but the establishment of a water division was also an important part of making up for his shortcomings for the Qin State, and it was not taken seriously by those who were not present.

Everyone thought for a while, and said in unison: "The king, the ministers and others seconded the proposal and formed an alliance with the Yue Kingdom." ”

When King Qin Huiwen heard this, he immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, according to Keqing's words, send an envoy to form an alliance with Yue with heavy gifts." ”

At this moment, a eunuch walked in from outside the palace and reported to King Qin Huiwen: "Great King, General Wei Ran asks to see you. ”

"Wei Ran?" King Qin Huiwen paused slightly, Wei Ran has always known how to advance and retreat, and now is the time to discuss state affairs, there are no major matters, he will not come to disturb.

King Qin Huiwen immediately said, "Pass him in." ”

"Yui."

Soon, a man in his thirties walked into the hall, and when he arrived in the main hall, he saluted the king of Qin and said, "Minister Wei Ran pays a visit to the king. ”

King Qin Huiwen asked, "But what happened?" ”

Wei Ran replied without changing his face: "Great King, Weichen has just received information from the State of Chu, and the Jingcui Department of the State of Chu has moved to the east not long ago, and the purpose is unknown. ”

"What? The army of Chu moved, why was it Jing Cui and not Qu Kuo? What is the reason? As soon as Zhang Yi heard the shocking change in Chu State, he immediately asked.

Wei Ran shook his head and said: "Xiangguo, it can be confirmed that it is not Qu Kuo but Jingcui's department, the specific reason has not yet been ascertained, the spies have detected the movements of Chu State, and they will immediately rush back to report, and the specific situation needs to be further investigated." ”

Sima Cuo asked: "How many people did Jing Cui take, did he take all the 200,000 people or only some of them?" ”

Wei Ran replied: "Back to Keqing, it's all the army. ”

Wei Zhang asked, "What is the movement of Qu Kuo's department now?" ”

Wei Ran replied: "According to the report of the spies, after Jing Cui led the army to leave, Qu Kuo took over the camp of the Chu State and was building fortifications. ”

With a happy face, he said to King Qin Huiwen: "Great King, this move of the Chu State is to show our Qin State that the Chu State is going to attack the Qi State. ”

Sima Coo shook his head and said, "King, you still need to wait and see what happens, in case the Chu State is cheating." ”

Zhang Yi sighed and said to the King of Qin: "Great King, this move of the State of Chu is to continue to exert pressure on our Qin State and force us to attack the State of Qi, and now, there is less time left for our State of Qin to react. ”
