Chapter 32 The Strategy of the Field
King Xiang of Wei came to his senses and formed an alliance with the Yue State, which was beneficial and harmless to the Wei State.
"So for Qin and Chu, what should we do in Wei?"
Gongsun Yan said: "Great King, immediately send an envoy to the Qin State to urge the Qin State to send troops to attack Qi, and also send an envoy to the Zhao State to persuade the Zhao State and the Prince of Yan to send an envoy together to exert pressure on the Qin State and ask the Qin State to send troops as soon as possible." ”
"Now that Qi and Chu have broken off diplomatic relations, if the Yue State and our Wei State ally again, then the Song State will face a great crisis, the king can send a messenger to ask the Song State to break off diplomatic relations with the Qi State, once the Song State also breaks away from the Qi State, then even if there is no Qin State's army, only our Wei, Zhaoyan, Song and Yue Five Kingdoms, can force the Qi State to withdraw from the Yan State."
"At that time, whether Qin and Chu are fighting against each other, or a big war, it will be a good thing for our Wei State to fight for two tigers and lose both."
King Xiang of Wei was explained by Tian Xugong and Sun Yan, and everything was connected, and for Wei, there was only one goal at present, that is, to let Qi State spit out Yan State.
In addition, whether it is Qin, Qi or Chu, they are all enemies of Wei.
That country has the highest threat to Wei, so Wei will pull that country back.
In the past, the Qin State was like this, and the Qi State is like this today, if it becomes the Chu State one day, the Wei State will also pull the back legs of the Chu State.
This is the sorrow of the Wei State, which had a strong strength to fight the world in the past, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu, which one is not pleasing to the eye, will fight which. Now that the strength is declining, it is difficult to fight against any of the three countries with the strength of one country alone, and it will come to any country that is not pleasing to the eye.
The stone in his heart fell to the ground, and King Wei Xiang was relaxed, and said to Tian Xu and Gongsun Yan: "The widow has two virtuous people, so you can sit back and relax." ”
Tian Xu came back from the Wei Palace, his face was not very good, judging from today's situation, the King of Wei has a tendency to trust Gongsun Yan again, which is really a dangerous signal for him, Gongsun Yan is too much of a threat to him.
Although Gongsun Yan had a bad reputation in the Wei State, he was defeated and defeated repeatedly, and in his early years, he also seized the land of the West River of the Wei State for the Qin State.
But Gongsun Yan was very famous and influential in countries other than the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Han.
The reason why Tian Xu was dragged down by Gongsun Yan for the first time was because Gongsun Yan used the power of other countries, otherwise with his deep trust and great virtuous help, how could he suddenly lose the position of Xiangguo inexplicably.
If Gongsun Yan now gains the trust of the King of Wei again, and when he goes to the State of Chu, he once again gains the support of the important ministers of the State of Chu, then the position of the Minister of Wei is likely to change again.
For Chen Zhen of the Chu State, Tian Xu also hated it.
Chen Zhen, like Gongsun Yan, was driven out of the Qin State by Zhang Yi, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, not to mention that Chen Zhen and Gongsun Yan had similar encounters and sympathized with each other.
This time Gongsun Yan went to the Chu State, it is very likely that he will get the support of the Chu State again, at least Chen Zhen will definitely help him.
It's just that Tian needs him to intervene in the Chu State, otherwise he will definitely sabotage Gongsun Yan's Lianchu operation.
It's just like Gongsun Yan's Lian Chu action that sabotaged him in the past.
Thinking of this, Tian Xu sighed again.
Tian Xu had a melancholy face, pacing back and forth in the yard, sighing from time to time, looking sad and depressed.
At this time, one of Tian Xu's doormen came over and asked, "Your Excellency, I see that you have a worried face, I don't know what you are worried about?" ”
Tian Xu sighed and said, "Without him, I'm just worried about Gongsun Yan." ”
Wei Xun asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, I just heard that Gongsun Yan was going to be sent to the Chu State and was alienated by the king, why are you still worried about Gongsun Yan?" ”
"Blessings and misfortunes lie in ambush, and blessings are relied upon, and people who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries. Gongsun Yan is far away from the center of Wei, although he is alienated by the king of Wei, but if Gongsun Yan forms an alliance with Chu on behalf of Wei, then he will inevitably gain the support of Chu, and then Gongsun Yan will rely on the strength of Chu and is likely to serve as Wei Minister again. ”
When Wei Xun heard this, he knew that Tian Xu was worried that Wei Xiang's position would be snatched by Gongsun Yan again.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Gongsun Yan was sent to the State of Chu this time, and it was the idea of Minister Zhang Shou."
"Yes, it is precisely like this, Zhang Shou leaned towards the Qin State, attached himself to Zhang Yi, and always tried to make the Wei State and the Qin State ally together. And Gongsun Yan's hatred for Qin Guo and Zhang Yi is well known, and the two have been criticizing each other for so many years, and they can't reconcile at all. As long as you find an opportunity, you will definitely attack the other party. Tian Yu nodded.
"Your Majesty, when I came back from outside, I heard that Zhang Shou had successfully driven away Gongsun Yan and was preparing to entertain Qin's friends."
"What do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, what would happen if an assassin suddenly appeared at this time and assassinated Zhang Shou?"
"Assassinate Zhang Shou!"
Wei Xun said: "Yes, your lord, Zhang Shou is a pro-Qin force in Wei, and he was promoted by the king because he defected to Zhang Yi, but Zhang Shou's own foundation in Wei is still shallow, and because Qin used force to force Wei to form an alliance with Qin, Zhang Shou did not hold real power." If you assassinate Zhang Shou, it would be an easy thing to do. ”
"Now among the ministers of the Wei State, there is only Gongsun Yan who has a long-cherished wish and has fierce contradictions with Zhang Shou. Moreover, Gongsun Yan served as the Xiangguo of Wei and Han for a long time, and there were many guests under him, because Gongsun Yan was alienated by King Wei in the past two years, the guests dispersed one after another. If we can find a former disciple of Gongsun Yan and ask him to assassinate Zhang Shou, we will definitely hit with one blow. ”
"Even if Zhang Shou is lucky not to die, once it is found out that the assassin is Gongsun Yan's former disciple, it will inevitably lead to a conflict between Gongsun Yan and the forces of the Qin State, and at this critical moment, in order to appease the anger of the Qin State, the king will alienate him even if he does not expel Gongsun Yan."
Tian Yu thought about it, and there was indeed some truth.
For Tian Xu, Gongsun Yan is a sworn enemy with similar political views, and Zhang Shou is a political enemy with diametrically opposed political views, no matter who dies, he will only be happy, if the two die together, then he is afraid that he will wake up laughing from his dreams.
So he commanded, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." ”
Now that Wei has formed an alliance with Qin again, the pro-Qin faction of Wei has risen, and the voice of Zhang Shou and others in Wei has suddenly increased greatly.
Today, in the middle of the court, Zhang Shou elected Gongsun Yan to envoy to Chu at the court meeting, and obtained the permission of the king of Wei, driving this unwavering anti-Qin element out of the Wei court in one fell swoop, which was really another victory for the pro-Qin faction.
Therefore, on the one hand, in order to celebrate that Gongsun Yan was about to leave Daliang to envoy Chu, and on the other hand, he planned to take advantage of Gongsun Yan's absence in Wei to concoct him and completely drive him out of Wei, Zhang Shou held a banquet in his own home to entertain friends of Qin and the pro-Qin faction of Wei.
After the banquet, Zhang Shou took a doorman and personally sent the guests who came to the meeting out of the door.
Just after the guests left, a doorman of Zhang Shou trotted over from a distance in the house in a panic.
This person attracted Zhang Shou's attention for the first time.
"Panic, what kind of system, go and ask what's going on." Zhang Shou immediately instructed the doormen around him to inquire, while he waited in place.
When the visitor heard Zhang Shoumenke's loud inquiry, he didn't stop, but walked over quickly, and said as he walked: "It's not good for you." ”
