"Great King, the State of Qin has now made peace with the State of Chu, and the next thing is when the coalition forces of various countries jointly attack the State of Qi, the State of Qi will undoubtedly lose this battle, in order to weaken the State of Qi, we will continue to send troops to the front line, so that the State of Wei will get the greatest benefit from the State of Qi." As Wei Xiang, Tian Xu was the first to speak.

Hearing this, Gongsun Yan retorted: "King, Weichen thinks otherwise. Qin Guo is like a wolf and a tiger, Zhang Yi is a shameless villain, and the words in their mouths must not be believed. The peace between the Qin State and the Chu State must have some plots, and the King of Chu of the Chu State Yingming ordered Yin Xiande to see through Zhang Yi's tricks, and did not want to negotiate, but to seek to capture the Ba State. ”

"Qin and Chu have been at loggerheads for many years, and they are still at loggerheads in Hanzhong, and if Qin does not send troops to Qi, the army of Chu will not attack Ba in the west. In order to prevent the state of Chu from harassing the rear of the state of Qin, the state of Qin would definitely not send troops to attack the state of Qi before the state of Chu sent troops to attack the state of Ba. ”

"In this way, although Qin and Chu will make peace, neither of the two countries will send troops first, and they will still hold each other in the territory of Qin and Chu."

"If Qin does not send troops, our Wei State will first increase the border of Qi State, and it will inevitably be hit by the thunder of Qi State, and then the army of Zhao State will be far away from the border of Yan State, and Qin and Chu will face each other against each other, and our Wei State will face Qi State alone, and if it is isolated and helpless, it will definitely not be the opponent of Qi State."

King Wei Xiang's incisive analysis of Gongsun Yan only bowed slightly, without expressing too much.

Gongsun Yan was an outstanding politician, diplomat, and military strategist in Wei during the Warring States Period, who once served as an important minister in the Qin State and made great military exploits for the Qin State, because he accepted bribes from the King of Wei and secretly helped the Wei State, but the matter was exposed by Zhang Yi and was expelled by the Qin State, and returned to the mother country of Wei as a general.

Since then, Gongsun Yan has hated Qin and Zhang Yi, and has changed from a Lianheng faction to a staunch Hezong faction.

Su Qin planned to unite the six countries to attack the Qin State, but halfway through the matter, he was assassinated by others in the internal strife of the Qi State. Gongsun Yan took over Su Qin's banner of Hezong and joined forces of the Six Kingdoms to attack Qin, but suffered a miserable defeat.

After the failure of the alliance, Gongsun Yan was slandered and framed by Tian Xu, and he couldn't get along in the Wei State, so he ran to South Korea to serve as Han Xiang. Before leaving the Wei State, in order to prevent Tian Xu from succeeding him as Wei Xiang, Gongsun Yan proposed to the King of Wei to invite Tian Wen (the future Meng Weijun) of Qi to be Wei Xiang, and then Wei Xiang, who Tian Xu had in hand, flew away.

This is the second time that Gongsun Yan has destroyed Tian Xu's position as Wei Xiang, the first time is to conspire with Chen Zhen and directly pull Tian Yan down from Wei Xiang's position, and Gongsun Yan himself serves as Wei Xiang.

Gongsun Yan went to Korea to serve as the prime minister of Han, but he still did not change his hatred of Qin, and tried his best to promote Korea to fight with Qin, so Korea attacked Qin. As a result, because the king of Qin listened to Sima Cuo's proposal, he attacked Bashu first and took a defensive position against Korea.

For this reason, Gongsun Yan gained the trust of King Han in Korea.

A year after Korea attacked Qin, Qin finally freed up his hands from Bashu and decided to take revenge on Korea.

In order to prevent the king of Han from falling to Qin again, Gongsun Yan once again launched a joint column and asked for help from various countries. As a result, only King Chu Huai responded, and the chariots sent were all jammed with the roads, which strengthened Korea's confidence in resisting Qin.

Seeing that Chu State expressed its help, South Korea immediately suspended peace with Qin, Qin and Han broke out a big war, and South Korea complained to Chu State, but as a result, Chu State did not receive any reinforcements, and South Korea could not hold on, so it had to fully fall to Qin.

For this reason, Gongsun Yan returned to Wei again.

Last year, the Qin State attacked the Wei State again, and the Wei State sent Gongsun Yan to fight, but Gongsun Yan was defeated again, and the Qudi was captured by the Qin State, and Gongsun Yan fled back from the battlefield alone.

For such a defeated and defeated Gongsun Yan, the King of Wei has lost confidence in him, the former Wei Xiang is just an ordinary minister now, not even a general, and now he leads the Wei army to fight against Qi on the front line, and there are others.

As soon as Gongsun Yan's words were finished, the minister Zhang Shou immediately came out to refute: "King, Gongsun Yan is alarmist, just for his own selfish interests, and he abandons the Wei State and ignores it. Now who in the world doesn't know that Qi is the scourge of all countries, and even Qi's ally Chu has broken off relations with him, and now that Qi is isolated, it is time to attack Qi. ”

Gongsun Yan retorted: "Great King, although the Qi State is a scourge, it will not harm our Wei State for a while. But this is not the case with Qin, the soldiers of Qin sent a letter to Guguan and came to our Wei State. Moreover, the Qin State has always been untrustworthy, and the example of false Taoism and defeat, is it still less now, the Qin State did this kind of thing a few years ago, and took the opportunity to destroy Bashu. ”

"If the Qin State has no intention of crossing the two countries of Wei and Han and going on an expedition to the Qi State, then the target of the Qin State is our Wei State."

"Great King, for this point, we in the Wei State cannot be unguarded, so as not to be plotted by the Qin State."

Zhang Shou spoke again: "Great King, this time the Qin State attacked the Qi State, on the one hand, because the Qi State destroyed the Yan State, which was a great threat to all countries, and on the other hand, because of the request of the nephew of the King of Qin, the King of Qin wanted to obtain the support of the Yan State. ”

"Let's ask, how could the Qin State betray its word and send troops to attack the Wei State when it can not only retaliate against the Qi State to weaken the Qi State, but also make a profit."

"Great King, our Qin Yan, Zhao, Wei and Han have had an alliance to deal with Qi together, once Qin attacks our country, Zhao Yan and Zhao Yan will inevitably break off diplomatic relations with Qin, and then we will unite with Chu State, and we will definitely be able to isolate Qin."

Gongsun Yan shook his head and said: "The past does not forget the division of the future, ten years ago, the Qin State took advantage of the opportunity of the Chuqi War to attack the Qi State on a large scale, but the result was still defeated by the Qi general Kuang Zhang, and the Qin State asked the Qi State for peace. Now that the State of Qi is not contained by the State of Chu, and has also annexed the State of Yan, its strength is even stronger, and the State of Qin may not be willing to fight with the State of Qi. ”

Zhang Shou retorted: "The reason why the Qin State was defeated in the battle with the Qi State in the past was because we, Zhao Wei and Han Yan, did not join it, and now the Qi State is completely isolated, and in the face of the siege of the Five Kingdoms, the Qin State will definitely send troops to the shame of Snow Sanqiu." ”

When Gongsun Yan heard this, he immediately bowed to the king of Wei and said, "Great King, it is precisely because of the joint attack of the five kingdoms that Weichen is deeply worried. The Yan State is the country where the Qi State perished, and the Qi State is hated to the core. Han Yan has been allied for many years, and Gongzi is the hostage of Yan Guo in South Korea, and Gongzi is naturally close to South Korea.

Zhao and Korea have been friends with each other for hundreds of years, and the queen of King Zhao is the queen daughter of Korea, and the princely position was established by King Zhao, so he will definitely be grateful to Zhao State.

In addition, Gongzi is the nephew of the King of Qin, and if Qin sends troops to help Yan restore the country, then Gongzi will definitely be grateful to Qin and become a supporter of Qin. ”

"The alliance of the three kingdoms of Han, Yan and Zhao has been formed, and the fact that South Korea has fully fallen to the state of Qin, then the state of Qin has received the support of two of the three alliances of Han Yan and Zhao."

"In order to avoid being betrayed by its allies, Zhao will inevitably make friends with Qin in the face of the siege of the three kingdoms of Qin, Yan and Han."

"In this way, with the Yan State as a link, an alliance headed by the Qin State has been formed. After the success of our five countries' crusade against Qi, then the allied forces led by Qin will attack the powerful Chu State, or the weakened Qi State again, or the Wei State that is close at hand. ”
