The matter of the important ministers of the Qin State going to Wei had already happened once more than ten years ago. However, the protagonist of that time was not Wei Zhang, but Zhang Yi.

That time, because of the failure of Hui Shi's plan to fight against Qin, Gongsun Yan entangled the five kingdoms to claim each other's kings in order to resist the pressure of the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu. Affected by this, Zhang Yi was removed from the position of Xiangguo by Qin Wangsi, and then, Zhang Yi, with the support of Qin, served as Xiangguo of Wei.

After Zhang Yi became Wei minister, relations between Qin and Wei quickly warmed, and then the two countries soon formed an alliance.

At this point, the joint action of Wei and other countries was disintegrated because of Wei's own betrayal.

Now, on the eve of the Qin State attacking Qi Wei, there is another situation of important ministers running to Wei.

The people of Chu were very skeptical, did this matter suddenly change the position of the Qin State?

Chen Zhen, who was in the spotlight of everyone, did not let everyone wait, and then immediately responded: "The matter of Ling Yin, Sima, and Wei Zhang Ben Wei, because there is too little information sent back, it is not yet possible to confirm the truth or falsehood." However, the reason why Wei Zhang ran to Wei has already been confirmed. ”

"Oh, why?" Jing Li immediately asked.

Chen Zhen replied: "The reason is related to the alliance between King Qin and King Zhao not long ago.

Not long ago, the kings of Qin and Zhao met in Fushi. Then, Qin and Zhao reached an agreement that Zhao would make peace with Qin at the cost of the three counties of Shangjun in exchange for Qin's withdrawal of troops from Shangjun. As a result, after the king of Qin returned to Xianyang, he announced the abolition of the position of prime minister and the position of prime minister in Qin on the grounds that Gan Mao surrendered his troops without a fight and contributed to the country, and on the pretext that Zhang Yi's sudden death had caused chaos in the Qin dynasty.

Later, Qin Wangdang appointed the former prime minister Guo Yu Lijian as the right prime minister, and the former servant Gan Mao as the left prime minister. And Wei Zhang, who was far away in Xiayang, Hexi, did not receive any reward because he was not in the court. ”

Hearing this, Jing Li asked hesitantly: "Could it be that Wei Zhang was dissatisfied and ran to Wei angrily because he didn't get the position of prime minister?" ”

Hearing Jing Li's inquiry, everyone in the hall was wondering whether this matter was true or not, and whether this reason was true.

"Hui Ling Yin, yes and no." Chen Zhen shook his head and explained: "King Qin was dissatisfied because after the abolition of Xiangguo, Zhu Lijian was dissatisfied because the position of Xiangguo was abolished and he was on an equal footing with Gan Mao. So, in a fit of rage, he said that he was sick and closed his door.

As a result, when the king of Qin sent two waves of envoys to invite the governor to discuss the matter to no avail, the king of Qin was furious and officially announced to the ministers in the court that he was ill and it was difficult to deal with state affairs, and then he ordered Gan Mao to deal with state affairs instead of the governor and the post of prime minister.

It is said that when Wei Zhang heard the news in Xiayang, he was furious, thinking that the king of Qin would not wait to see him, so he crossed the river to Wei that day, and then went straight to Daliang. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned for a long time when he heard this, but he had some conjectures in his heart about the reason why Wei Zhang ran to Weide.

Wei Zhang, like Zhang Yi, was originally from Wei. After Zhang Yi served as the prime minister of Qin, he recommended Wei Zhang as a general to the king of Qin. Wei Zhang also did not live up to Zhang Yi's recommendation and the trust of the King of Qin, and after coming to the Qin State, he made many meritorious contributions to the Qin State.

Wei Zhang's qualifications are quite old in the Qin State, and Wei Zhang's time as a general is earlier than that of Zhu Liji.

However, Zhu Li Ji was Qin Wangsi's younger brother and Qin Wangdang's uncle, and as a result, Zhu Li Ji came from behind, and Wei Zhang was overpowered.

Xiong Huai secretly speculated in his heart that after Zhang Yi's sudden death, Wei Zhang might be dissatisfied in his heart, but in the face of such a powerful relation, he could only pinch his nose and admit it

But Gan Mao is not only inferior to Wei Zhang in terms of time to enter Qin, but also inferior to Wei Zhang in terms of meritorious service.

As a result, Gan Mao changed from a servant to a left prime minister, and from a left prime minister to a real and nameless prime minister.

This ······

Xiong Huai secretly thought that in this era of paying attention to the choice of the monarch and the minister, and paying more attention to the selection of good birds and trees, and the choice of virtuous ministers to do things, it is really normal for the courtiers to be treated unfairly and run away in anger.

But...

What if, this is a fraud by the Qin State?

When the Qin State was about to go out, when the Chu State and the Qi Wei State were fighting, they suddenly turned against each other.

This...

Don't be careful.

After thinking about it, he asked: "I don't know if this matter is true or not, whether the Qin State wants to unite with the Wei State, or whether Wei Zhang really turned his back on the Qin State." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers in the palace suddenly fell silent.

Ling Yin Jingli opened his mouth, and wanted to say that he thought it was true, but the moment he opened his mouth, he changed his words and said: "King, although the matter of Wei Zhang running to Wei seems reasonable. However, this incident happened in the early stage of our attack on Yue, even if the countries do not know the inside story of this matter at present, but the minister thinks that our Chu State cannot be unguarded. ”

Xiong Huai nodded, then shook his head again.

Although Jing Li's words are reasonable, as Ling Yin, in such a major matter, he can't make up his mind when he takes the lead, which is very inappropriate.

Ling Yin Jingli was still a little deficient in military affairs after all, and he didn't even come up with the slightest countermeasure.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai turned his gaze to Zhao Ju expressionlessly. Zhao Ju was responsible for sending troops to the Wei State and would face the Qin and Wei countries directly. If there is a change in the Qin State, then he will be the first to bear the brunt.

So, Xiong Huai asked Zhaoju, "Sima, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Ju thought for a while and said, "King, the minister thinks that what Ling Yin said is reasonable. Although the matter of Wei Zhang's running to Wei seems to be true, now, we can't be unguarded.

Therefore, the minister suggested that after the countries sent troops to attack Wei, they asked the generals Zhao Rat and the general Jing Que in Hanzhong and Fangcheng to immediately strengthen the vigilance of Qin and Han. In addition, regarding the dispatch of troops to attack Wei, it should be separated from Korea, and should not be in one place, lest the Qin State really have other plans and will work with the Wei State to win over Korea, resulting in a sudden rebellion of the Korean army that is close at hand. ”

Xiong Huai withdrew his gaze from Zhao Ju, and then nodded after a little thought.

Although Xiong Huai himself couldn't pay attention to it and couldn't confirm the role that Qin played in this, Zhao Ju's response was still appropriate.

Needless to say, it is needless to say that the guard has been strengthened, and separating from the South Korean army is the most important thing.

If Qin did not change its position, then South Korea, which was caught between Qin and Chu, would have the only way to follow the pace of Chu. Regardless of whether the Chu army formed an alliance with the Han army, the Han army had to attack the Wei state.

If the Qin State intended to betray, then the Korean army could not get too close to the Chu army, otherwise, if it was like the last time when various countries besieged the Qi State, the Song army suddenly betrayed and attacked the rear army of the Qi army, resulting in a complete rout of the army.

If South Korea also took the first army of Chu like this, in the face of a sneak attack by allies close at hand, the Chu army would not be able to react.

At that time, let alone attacking the Yue State, the Chu State would be difficult to protect itself.
