Chapter 941: Meritorious Service
"Not Qi Guo?"
"Of course it's not Qi Guo." Gongsun Yu said as a matter of course: "Now that Qi is the leader of the alliance, asking Qi to come forward at this time will only backfire and cause King Han to rebel, and he is even more reluctant to attack Chen Cheng, and may even retreat." ”
The crown prince nodded, Wei didn't want to be a villain, and Qi couldn't do it, after all, now Qin and Han sent troops to attack Chendi, all at the request of Qi and Wei.
Thinking about it, the crown prince asked even more hesitantly: "Dare to ask sir, if it is not Qi State, then where should we start." ”
"Eastern Zhou Kingdom."
"Eastern Zhou Kingdom?"
"Yes, since Han and Zhao divided the Zhou State into two, the Western Zhou State was a vassal state of Korea, and then the Zhao State was in turmoil, and the Eastern Zhou State also belonged to Korea. The Eastern Zhou Kingdom belonged to South Korea not long ago, and South Korea's control over the Eastern Zhou Kingdom was not deep, and now South Korea was short of grain, and the grain was levied from the Zhou State twice in three years, so that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty could not eat delicious flour at once, and now the Eastern Zhou Kingdom was already very dissatisfied with South Korea.
It was only because South Korea was fighting Chu with the other four countries that it did not dare to act rashly. If at this moment, someone can give the Eastern Zhou Kingdom enough confidence, then the Eastern Zhou Jun will inevitably rise up against Korea. ”
"No!" When the crown prince heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "If there is turmoil in the Zhou room, South Korea will definitely use this as an excuse to withdraw its troops." ”
"No, the prince is too worried." Gongsun Yu hurriedly explained: "If the Eastern Zhou Jun rebels against Korea, Korea will not only not withdraw its troops, but will also be anxious to show goodwill to our Qi and Wei countries, and will also attack Chen Cheng with all its might." ”
The prince was stunned, and hurriedly saluted Gongsun Yu and said, "Please give me advice!" ”
"Prince, the minister said before that he would lend the grain to Korea and send it directly to the Han ** camp, the purpose is this, in order to prevent the Eastern Zhou State from rebelling against Korea, Korea will withdraw from Chendi.
Moreover, just in case, the prince also needs to personally send food to the Korean army, one shows the importance that our Wei State attaches to this matter, the second can express the prince's goodwill towards Korea, and the third is to prevent Korea from withdrawing because of the affairs of the Eastern Zhou State. ”
Speaking of this, Gongsun Yu showed a hint of ferocity on his face, and said viciously: "If South Korea has to withdraw its troops when you personally send food to South Korea, then it is unreasonable." As long as Korea dares to withdraw its troops, then we will unite the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song to attack Korea, and let Qi instigate the Western Zhou State to betray Korea as well.
You must know that Zhou Shi, the son of the Western Zhou Jun, is quite reused by the King of Qi in the Qi Kingdom. ”
Then, Gongsun Yu smiled: "Prince, as long as the prince promises to the king of Han that as long as Korea is willing to attack Chencheng with all his might, then the prince is willing to come forward to settle the Eastern Zhou Kingdom." Moreover, he joined forces with Qi and Song to put pressure on South Korea and asked Zhou Shi to come forward to lobby the Eastern Zhou Jun.
In this way, in order to keep the two weeks, in order to avoid being besieged by the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Song after retreating, Korea will inevitably actively move closer to our Qi and Wei countries, and then attack Chencheng with all its might, so as to show goodwill to our Qi and Wei countries.
Moreover, after the capture of Chencheng, South Korea will inevitably make concessions in the division of the territory of Chu for two weeks. ”
Speaking of this, Gongsun Yu arched his hand and said: "Prince, in this way, after the matter is completed, the prince can not only gain the friendship of Korea, but also become a great hero to unite the five countries and break through Chencheng, and can also obtain more benefits for the Wei State, showing the prince's virtuous ability to the ministers in the country."
With such a multi-pronged thing, why wouldn't the prince do it. ”
The crown prince was stunned for a moment, and then thought silently for a long time, but did not find any disadvantage for Wei or for him.
On the contrary, if this thing succeeds, it will really be as Gongsun Yu said, and he and the Wei State will gain huge benefits.
In particular, since the death of his elder brother Prince Zheng, the king of Wei was grief-stricken and sick, and did not come forward for many days, until not long ago, when Korea sent people to borrow grain, it had just improved.
At this moment, he, the newly appointed crown prince, continues to make great achievements to stabilize the court and deter the ministers.
Yes, as soon as Gongsun Yu's words fell, he was instantly moved.
It's just that his heart is moving, but he still has some doubts in his heart.
That is, Gongsun Yu has always been close to the Chu State, how could he suddenly come up with a strategy that is so unfavorable to the Chu State.
You must know that the king of Chu treats Gongsun Yan very kindly, and Gongsun Ze, the son of Gongsun Yu, is still the Linhai Jun of Chu State, with thousands of households.
Therefore, he had some doubts in his heart, would this plan offered by Gongsun Yu at this time hide any mysteries that are not conducive to the Wei State?
Also, in the past, Gongsun Yu was like a transparent marginal person in the Wei State, who easily did not express his opinions, to the point where he did not ask or answer, and even did not answer when he asked.
But today, he is completely different from the usual, and he even took the initiative to make suggestions to him, which is very abnormal.
If he is pitted by Gongsun Yu this time, maybe his position as the crown prince will also be unstable.
Thinking about it, the crown prince looked at Gongsun Yu for a long time, silent.
Seeing this, Gongsun Yu panicked in his heart, and his heart instantly went up and down, but in the end, he still experienced the danger of his father fleeing alone and defecting to the enemy country of Wei, because although he was flustered in his heart, he did not show it at all on his face.
After settling down, he said with a questioning face: "Prince, what questions do you have about this matter?" Is there anything wrong with the plan? ”
"There's nothing wrong with a gentleman's approach." The crown prince shook his head when he heard this, and then looked at Gongsun Yu curiously and said: "It's just that he is a little curious, in the past, Mr. never spoke in the court, why did he take the initiative to offer advice to Gu Jinyan today?" ”
When Gongsun Yu heard this, he immediately put his mind at ease, smiled and said: "Prince Mingjian, in the past, his father was quite trustworthy to the king of Chu in the Chu country, and he wholeheartedly gave advice to the king of Chu, but there were many contradictions between Chu and Wei, and he was a son of man, and he was unwilling to go against his father's wishes. At the same time, in the lower body of Wei, many people think that in the lower body is inclined to the Chu state, and once they open their mouths in the lower body, they will inevitably embarrass themselves.
So, as a last resort, he kept silent in the court. ”
Saying that, Gongsun Yu shook his head and sighed: "Now that my father has died, I have no worries in Xia, and besides, I am a courtier of Wei State, and the roots of Gongsun's family are always in Wei State, after all, I am not the Linhai Jun of Chu State..."
When the crown prince heard Gongsun Yu mention the Linhai Jun of the Chu State, he reacted instantly.
Linhai Jun's status in the Chu State is already the middle and upper echelons of the feudal monarchs, although it is not as good as those feudal monarchs with fiefs, but the thousands of food estates are far more than those small feudal monarchs and feudal monarchs.
And Linhaijun is the son of Gongsun Yu, not him after all, he is just an ordinary minister of Wei.
The crown prince can even imagine the embarrassment of Gongsun Yu when he was in the Chu State, their father and son walked together, and many nobles of the Chu State needed to salute Gongsun Ze, the monarch of Linhai, and to Gongsun Yu, maybe they would also salute, or they might just nod. However, when Gongsun Yu alone encountered those feudal monarchs of Chu State whose status was lower than that of Linhai Jun, perhaps he still needed to take the initiative to salute those feudal monarchs, who called him a low status.
Thinking about it, the crown prince looked at Gongsun Yu and smiled, he knew why Gongsun Yu was so active in making suggestions now.
It turned out to be a meritorious service!
After figuring it out, the crown prince immediately said in a more intimate tone: "Sir, please rest assured, as long as Mr. is dedicated to serving the Wei State, as long as he can establish enough meritorious deeds, the title is not a problem, and it is not impossible to tear the earth and seal the monarch." ”
When Gongsun Yu heard this, he immediately showed an expectant look. 8)
