Zhai Qiang replied: "Great King, since the last time the Chu State defeated the Qin and Qi countries, it has already had the momentum of a hegemon, and the opponent of the Qin State and the Qi State is not our Wei State, but the Chu State. Now the reason why they are not attacking the state of Chu is because the state of Chu has our three Jin as allies. โ
"If the king is willing to return the lost land of Qi to Qi, and then is willing to reconcile with Qi, then Qi will inevitably retreat. Once the Qi State retreats, then only one Qin State, then our Wei State can still cope with it. โ
"This..." King Wei fell into deep thought.
Seeing this, Lou Yu immediately objected: "Great King, now that the State of Chu is at war with the State of Qi, and our State of Wei is friendly with the State of Qi alone, this is a betrayal of the State of Chu, if the King of Chu sends a large army to ask, then how can the King reply?" โ
Zhai Qiang replied: "If there is only one big country to attack, how can I be afraid of it!" โ
Lou Yu sneered: "King, if the country has no faith, it will decline. What the minister is worried about is not a big country, the worried three kingdoms of Qi, Qin and Chu take turns to ask, and then our Wei State will be exhausted and can only gradually decay. โ
Zhai Qiang retorted: "Doesn't the doctor hear that only the strong are obedient, now that the two countries of Qin and Qi have formed an alliance, their strength has surpassed that of Chu, and the two countries are in the east of Wei and the other in the west of Wei, if the two countries come to attack, aren't we exhausted." โ

Watching the two ministers arguing, King Wei had a big head for a while.
"What's going on?"
Tian Xu received the news of Qin Qi's attack on Wei, and immediately rushed to the Wei palace from the palace, where he saw the two ministers arguing in front of the King of Wei.
"I've seen Sangkook!" When the three of them saw that Tian needed to arrive, they immediately saluted.
King Wei said happily: "Xiangguo is here, now this situation, I don't know what Xiangguo thinks?" โ
Tian Yu glared at Lou Zhai Qiang, and said quickly: "King, now that Qin Qi is attacking Wei, he should immediately send troops to support." โ
"Not bad." King Wei echoed.
Tian Xu looked at the three of them: "Which of you is willing to go to the east to support." โ
Zhai Qianglou said when he heard this: "Xiangguo, I am willing to go." โ
Tian Xu glanced at the two of them, shook his head and said, "The two of them are the king's think tank, how can they go out at this time." โ
Cheng Lingjun heard the words and said: "Xiangguo, I am willing to go." โ
Tian Xu said: "Okay, Chengling Jun knows that soldiers are good at fighting, and if you go to the east, you will be able to block the soldiers of Qi State." โ
Then, Tian Xu said to the King of Wei: "Great King, the State of Chu is our ally, and now the only one who can send troops to rescue the State of Wei is the State of Chu that still has the strength left." โ
King Wei nodded and said, "Okay, according to Xiangguo's words, the widow will send an envoy to Chu State." โ
Tian Xu looked at Lou Su and said: "King, Doctor Lou Su has always been friendly with the Chu State, if the doctor is willing to send the Chu State for help, then the Chu State will definitely send troops soon." โ
โยทยทยทโ
Lou Yu glanced at Tian Yu in surprise.
Who said just now that he was the king's think tank and couldn't leave the national capital at this time?
Zhai Qiang on the side was also full of hesitation.
Tian needs to ask Lou Su to go to Chu State for help at this time, what is this trying to do?
Tian Xu saw that Lou Su was staying aside and did not move, and said in a calm tone: "What, is the doctor unwilling to contribute to the king?" โ
With a look of trepidation on his face, Lou Yu saluted to the King of Wei and said, "The minister is willing to go to the Chu State for help." โ
Tian Xu nodded, and then said to Zhai Qiang: "Doctor, my Wei State is not wrong, but the Qin State came to attack our country, which is extremely rude. Doctor Lao went to Qin and asked why the king of Qin sent troops for no reason, and asked Qin to withdraw his troops immediately. โ
Zhai Qiang was dumbfounded.
Do you need a notice or a reason for a sneak attack in these years?
Also, although he is a pro-Qin faction, if he asks Qin to withdraw his troops, will Qin withdraw his troops?
I don't have such a big face in the Qin State...
"What, don't you want to go to Qin State, doctor?"
โยทยทยทโ Zhai Qiang saluted to the King of Wei and said, "The minister is willing to go." โ
After everyone left, the King of Wei asked, "Why is this Xiangguo?" โ
Tian Yu replied: "Great King, among the countries, the Qin State is the greatest threat to our Wei State, but now, the Chu State is the strongest..."
The capital of Yingdu of Chu.
"Qin Qi and Wei!"
"Gongsun Xi rejected Qin Yu Fenyin, and Cheng Lingjun fortified in Pushui, and already planned to give up the city seized from Qi and defend along the river."
"Wei envoy Lou Su visited Chu..."
Xiong Huai took the information handed over by Chen Zhen and couldn't help but sigh: "Qin and Qi are still united after all. โ
"The widow originally thought that the target of Qin and Qi was Yan and Zhao or South Korea, and they didn't want them to attract the attention of Wei."
Saying that, Xiong Huai asked Chen Zhen, "What are they doing in Zhuguo now?" โ
Chen Zhen replied: "Back to the king, Zhu Guo they have taken back a lot of people from Qi State before, and now they think that they have already attacked Picheng. โ
"What happened to the people?"
"The king, Zhuang Xin has been ordered by the king to go to Xiapi, and I think Zhuang Xin is already transporting these people to Dongting in the south of the Yangtze River to enrich the population."
Xiong Huai nodded proudly.
The territory of Chu is large and the population is small, which has always been his heart disease, especially the territory in the south of the Yangtze River, where the two major lakes of Dongting Pengli are located, and the densely populated area in the future is still a wild place.
Dongting is okay, at least Wu Qi has developed it, but Peng Li is miserable.
Not to mention the small population, even the feudal monarch only has a lone Peng Lijun.
The reason why the robbed population was placed in Dongting was also the result of Xiong Huai's discussion with the ministers.
One of them is that there is no need to worry about these people running home, the Huaisi area is connected to Dongting by water, and it is easy for the army of Chu to transport them to Dongting, but it is difficult for these people to run back to Huaisi.
The second is that only the Jiangnan region can accommodate many people, and this is just the beginning.
The third is to use these populations to develop Jiangnan, and most of the Jiangnan is still a paradise for wild beasts, inaccessible to people.
Zhao Yu hesitated on the side and said: "Great King, I heard that our act of plundering the people this time has caused the anger of the King of Qi, and if we plunder the people again in the future, I am afraid it will cause the anger of other countries." โ
Xiong Huai said indifferently: "If a husband becomes a great thing, he must be people-oriented." For example, today nations are ostensibly fighting for land in order to strengthen their own countries. But at the end of the day, it's about competing for the people. As long as there are people, then countries will continue to get money, food and troops, so the people are the foundation of the country. โ
"If there are no people, or if there are not enough people, it is like our Chu country, which has a land of 5,000 miles, but it can only be ranked with Qin Qi, a country the size of a thousand miles."
"If all other countries are as vast and sparsely populated as our Chu State, then how can other countries compare with our Chu State."
Therefore, the widow thinks that the foundation of war is the basis for the destruction of the enemy country, that is, the destruction of the people of the enemy country. Plundering the people of the enemy country is the best policy to weaken the foundation of the enemy country and strengthen the foundation of our country. โ
"As for the wrath of other nations, and the criticism of the people, and even the spurning of the annals of history, all these are inflicted on the widow, and the widow has nothing to fear."
As he spoke, Xiong Huai thought of the future famous general of the Qin State, known as Bai Qi, who was slaughtered. That guy, the purpose of fighting is to destroy the enemy's living forces.
It's just that the moral bottom line has not been broken yet, there is no such thing as slaughtering the city, just slaughtering the enemy troops who have taken up arms.
Thinking of Bai Qi, Xiong Huai was shocked, what era is this killing god from?
It seems to be a character before Qin Shi Huang, right?
Fortunately, I haven't heard that Qin has such a person as Bai Qi!
