Chapter Seventy-One: The Conspiracy to Defeat Qin (4)
When Wei Wangying heard this, he looked at Pang Juan and said with a smile: "Okay, you are worthy of being a general, and the widow will listen to the general's clever plan", and then returned to the seat in the hall in a comfortable mood.
Pang Juan made the Wei Wangying look happy, and his heart was even more happy, so he said: "The minister's plan is that my Wei State unites Qi, Zhao, Han, and Chu to conclude an alliance to defeat Qin, and then all the countries agree to carve up Qin."
Wei Wangying, who was sitting in his seat and looking at Pang Juan, was very puzzled when he heard that the countries were attacking Qin, so he said with a puzzled face: "Unite with other vassal states to crusade against Qin together?" However, with the benefit of my Great Wei alone, I can take the Qin State overnight, so why should I carve up the Qin State with other countries? Is the general lacking confidence in my Great Wei soldiers? ”。
"Qi my king, it's not that Pang Juan lacks confidence in my Great Wei soldiers, but that uniting other countries to attack Qin is the key to this plan.
The barbarian Qin State in the west is indeed not the opponent of my Great Wei. But even if my Great Wei conquers the Qin State, the poor and weak Qin State has little practical significance for the Great Wei of our country, which is rich and the people are rich, just more deserted land.
And because of this, my Great Wei will also kill many soldiers in battle, and after the war, we also need to send soldiers to guard all parts of the Qin State, and allocate food to help the people of the Qin State...".
Hearing Pang Juan say this, King Wei suddenly became even more confused.
After all, it was Pang Juan who proposed the idea of cutting down Qin just now, but now he has stated so many disadvantages of cutting Qin, which is really confusing, so he scratched his head with his hand, looked straight at Pang Juan, and said in a suppressed voice: "General, just say it clearly, the widow really didn't understand the general's good plan."
Seeing this, Pang Juan also understood Wei Wangying's doubts, so he hurriedly explained: "Great King, the Qin State is in the western part of my Great Wei, it is a disease of skin ringworm, there is no need to worry, my Great Wei can be eradicated at any time."
However, the Qi State is strong, but it is eyeing the east of our Wei State, and it wants to replace our Great Wei at any time and achieve the position of the new overlord, and my Wei State has to guard against it."
When Wei Wangying heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said with doubts: "Is the plan that the general said to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger to induce the Qi State to attack Qin?" ”。
As soon as the words came out, Wei Wangying felt that something was wrong in his heart. You must know that the Qin State and the Qi State are thousands of miles apart and have no territorial borders, how can they send troops to attack the Qin State, an enclave relative to the Qi State?
After Pang Juan heard this, he immediately understood that the king in front of him was probably thinking too much, so he said directly: "The king, the countries joining together to attack Qin are not focusing on the matter of cutting down Qin, but on the countries that are suspicious of each other.
As the saying goes, there is no morality between countries, but profit.
The Qin people were barbaric, the country was closed, not accepted by the countries, and they occupied thousands of miles of land, but the country was weak and the people were poor.
And in the troubled times, weakness is a big crime, and the Qin State is a chicken rib to my Wei State, but to other countries, it is fat.
Now, as the leader of the alliance, I, Great Wei, summon other princes to ally and attack Qin, which is to conform to the general trend and pacify the barbarians, how can the countries not obey?
In addition, once our countries come to the alliance, don't they just announce to those Xiaoxiao who are hiding everywhere that my Great Wei is still the overlord among the countries? ”
When the king of Wei heard what Pang Juan said, especially the overlord of Wei Nai, he immediately applauded.
After all, since King Wei succeeded to the throne, since the Marquis of Wei Wen, the national power of the powerful Wei State has begun to decline, and it has been even smaller everywhere.
Not to mention the rebellion of the prince at the time of succession, the small actions of the family in the country have been continuous recently, not to mention that there are big countries like Qi that challenge the status of Wei. This time just shows his Wei Ying's demeanor in the countries, and see who will say that he Wei Ying is not subject to his destiny in the future, and his name is not good.
"Great King, and once the alliance of the countries comes, the Qi country, which has been secretly against my Wei State on weekdays, will have to send people to participate in the alliance.
If the Qi State does not send people to the alliance, then our Wei State will promise to use other countries to benefit from other countries, contact feelings, and make friends with other countries in the alliance, and other countries will not be able to move closer to our Great Wei?
At that time, the hidden dangers in the western part of our Great Wei will be gently erased, but my Great Wei will not lose a single cent, on the contrary, there will be many more allies among the countries, and then we will join the forces of all countries to intimidate the Qi State."
As soon as Pang Juan's voice fell, Wei Wangying suddenly said with an ugly face: "The Qin State has let the other countries divide it up in vain, and I, the Wei State, am watching from the side, and I don't take any points?" ”。
No matter how poor and weak the Qin State is, it is still the interest of a country after all, and it is also a great benefit in the eyes of King Wei. Now that Wei is the leader of the alliance, there is no benefit in the saddling front and back of the horse, how can he be the leader of the alliance?
When Pang Juan heard this, he immediately explained: "My king should not panic, this is a plan to delay the army."
The Qin State was poor and weak, and even if the countries got it, it would not be able to become strong quickly in a short period of time. Moreover, the countries will also divide their troops to garrison the Qin land, not to mention that the Qin people are arrogant and rude, it is so easy to be tamed, and then they will definitely rebel everywhere, thus consuming the resources and national strength of the countries in vain.
At that time, our Wei State can concentrate on dealing with Qi State, and once Qi State is defeated by our Wei State, my Great Wei will still be the strongest country in the world. At that time, what I want in Da Wei is not just a sentence from you, the king? Who dares to disobey the nations."
After listening to Pang Juan's words, Wei Wangying suddenly opened his mouth, clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, the general is worthy of being a famous general of my Wei State."
When Pang Juan in the hall heard it, he immediately looked happy. After all, Pang Juan worked hard and entered the Ghost Valley at the beginning, wasn't it just to make a career and become famous in the world? At this time, when he heard Wei Wangying praise him as "Wei's famous general", how could he not be happy?
Pang Juan hadn't gotten up to thank him, and Wei Wangying, who was still smiling just now, said with a puzzled face at this time: "If the Qi State sends an envoy to meet the alliance." General, what about my Wei State? ”。
"My king need not worry. If the Qi State came to join the alliance, I expected that the King of Qi would see that my other four countries had gained a lot, and the Qin State was just an enclave for the Qi State, so he would be upset and would exchange the interests of the Qi State in Qin with the other countries.
I'm afraid that I hope that other countries such as us will not send troops to interfere with Qi's annexation when Qi attacks the small countries around Qi.
And when my Great Wei arrives, as long as I take the opportunity to walk around the countries to spread the news, say that the king of Qi is duplicitous, and deceive the world, then the name of benevolence and righteousness that the Qi country has been preaching will be self-defeating.
Moreover, my Wei State can also privately contact the small countries around the Qi State and fight against the Qi State together, and the Qi State will neither get benefits from the Qin State nor swallow the surrounding small countries in the end, and the prestige of the Qi State among the countries will also be greatly damaged.
However, because of this, our Great Wei eased relations with other countries, strengthened ties, and waited for the opportunity to change, so that we could take advantage of the situation.
All in all, our Wei State uses the fat of Qin State to tempt other countries to ally with our Wei State, change the situation that our Wei State is faintly surrounded by other countries, and thus dominate the world.
If the Qi State is not aligned, it will first feed the three evil wolves of Zhao Hanchu and besiege the evil tiger of the Qi State together; If Qi forms an alliance, it will first ease relations with other major powers, and then unite with the small countries around Qi to consume Qi's national strength.
At that time, no matter what, the Qi State will be played by my Great Wei. ”
After listening to this, Wei Wangying was amazed in his heart, and sighed: Pang Juan is really worthy of being a disciple of the Guigu Vertical and Horizontal faction, and in just a few words, he will clearly explain the distribution of the current world and the entanglement of interests, and the way of attack and defense in his words is really amazing.
However, what surprised Wei Wangying the most was that Pang Juan was not a person who only knew how to attack, so he smiled and said: "General, have you ever referred to the strategy of my husband and grandson?" ”。
When Pang Juan heard this, his face suddenly changed slightly, and the plan he just said to drive away the wolf and devour the tiger was indeed similar to the diplomatic war of his husband and grandson, so he said: "The road of the world is simple, and all laws are one."
Pang Juan just changed according to the situation of the Wei State, but the battle between countries ultimately depends on a strong army."
After hearing this, Wei Wangying smiled, and did not say anything to expose Pang Juan's cover-up.
After all, the more talented people are, the less easily they will admit their mistakes, but they just feel that Pang Juan, who acts like the wind, is a little unfrank and finds it very interesting.
But this also made Wei Wangying have a conclusion in his heart about Gongsun acne.
Regardless of whether Gongsun betrayed him or not, the contribution of his husband and grandson to the Wei State is obvious to all, and the flaws are not hidden. After all, the era of his husband and grandson has passed, and now is the era of his Wei Wangying, and he will never allow anything to tarnish the reputation of Wei.
In the Shunde Palace, Wei Wangying looked at the palace, and the prince who had lost his soul because of the reinstatement of his grandson and the official, also sighed in his heart.
It was also a last resort to remove Gongziwei by himself, but it was proposed by the general, and Gongziwei's performance in the military department was really bad.
Forget it, I'll compensate him later, this time it's a lesson, Wei Wangying thought in his heart. After all, Gongzi Wei is recognized by the court as his lackey of Wei Wangying, and he Wei Wangying really can't do such a thing as killing dogs and eating meat.
Subsequently, the palace guards who had been prepared for a long time around them dragged out the local ministers who had just been participated in by the imperial history from among the hundreds of officials, and suddenly the chickens and dogs in the palace jumped, and the sound of grievances was endless.
Wei Wangying in the palace looked at the ugly appearance of the arrested officials, and immediately slapped the case table in front of him hard, and said loudly: "There is still a face to call injustice, where is the boss?" ”
Then I saw that on the side of the hall, several small officials wearing low-level official uniforms carried a few boxes, hurriedly walked into the hall, and then worshipped: "The minister visits my king, my king is ten thousand years."
King Wei picked up the hot tea on the table, blew it, and said without raising his head: "Read it to the ministers...".
The voice of the small official sounded in the hall, and he only listened: "On the fifteenth day of May, Ping Zhou Tai kept his word: The king has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the Wei State has entered the hands of our family, so he bribed Huang Ping with 100 gold to the official department, hoping to be transferred to Shanyang...".
"Anling Sima, on July 5, led more than 10 servants on an outing, rode horses and destroyed two acres of fertile land, killed five people on the roadside, and plundered three women..."
As one crime after another was revealed, those ministers who had not yet been arrested immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, hoping that Wei Wangying would be dealt with lightly.
There are also ministers in the palace who pleaded and said: "I can't punish the doctor...", the angry King Wei's face turned blue, but he was helpless, so he left a sentence for Yousi to punish heavily, and then hastily ended the court meeting.
But King Wei also hated the world to the extreme in his heart, and suddenly said to Pang Juan: "Why don't you move the capital to Daliang?" After all, Daliang is a new city in the Wei State, and he doesn't want Anyi City to have many families and crisscross, and he often can't let go of his hands and feet.
