Chapter 141 The Dynasty Discusses the Affairs of the Nations, and Determines Chuce
It turned out that this time the new king of Yan Guo Ji was in charge, and this time he made a big move to treat the funeral of the old Yan Wang, only Zhao had news to send Shangqing Feiyi to go, and Chu, Qin, Han, Song, Lu and other countries only symbolically sent a messenger on the way to forget Yan Guo.
After listening to this, Wei Si couldn't help but sigh:
"Yan Kingdom is like this today, it is no wonder that Yan Wang Xu was stupid and ignorant back then, but out of etiquette, our Wei State cannot neglect Yan Kingdom."
Su Dai echoed:
"Yes, then I don't know who you are going to send to the Yan Kingdom to mourn the King of Yan?"
Chen Zhen said at this time:
"The king, since the Zhao State sent Shangqing Feiyi to go, then our Wei State can't be lazy, so the minister thinks that the king can send the prince there, which can not only let the prince hone his skills, but also show the deep friendship between our Wei State and the Yan State."
Xizi, who had just been appointed by Wei Si to manage the treasury, also came out at this time and said:
"Lord Chen Zhen is right, let the prince go to Yan Kingdom to mourn, just to make up for the previous Yan King sent people to Wei for help, and the king you can't help him in time, and this time our Wei State sent the prince to Yan State, it can also prove that our Wei State attaches more importance to the friendship with Yan State than Zhao State, so that Yan State will be closer to our Wei State in the future, and although Yan State has just experienced a great chaos, but after all, Yan State is also a big country within a radius of thousands of miles!"
Wei Si nodded:
"You're right, this plan is clever, then this matter will be done according to your wishes!"
After talking about Yan, Ru Er also came out at this time and said:
"Great King, there is news from the State of Chu, I heard that the State of Chu and the State of Zhao seem to have had a quarrel recently!"
Wei Si looked at Ru Er with some puzzlement:
"Didn't this Chu State and Zhao State just form an alliance and swear an oath in Handan when they were widowed in the Song Dynasty? Why is there another quarrel? ”
As the ear answered:
"I heard that it was because of He's Bi, the prince of Qin dedicated He's Bi to his mother-in-law's mother-in-law, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao's wife, Hinaji, and Hinaji was unwilling to hand over He's Bi and return it to Chu, so it caused a quarrel between Zhao and Chu now!"
Wei Si smiled lightly:
"It seems that it was all done by the Qin State, and the Qin State should also be worried that when our Three Kingdoms invaded Chu, the Zhao State would come out to help the Chu State, which is good, very good."
Wei Si continued:
"The current ally of the Chu State in the north is gone, so the only thing that the Three Kingdoms are worried about is the Qi State in the east, I don't know what the Qi State has done recently?"
Chen Zhen replied:
"I heard that the King of Qi was captured by the King last time, he is completely like a different person, and he has recently been reforming in the country of Qi, and the person who assisted him in reforming is Zhong Wuyan, the queen of the King of Qi."
Wei Si was stunned for a moment:
"What? The country of Qi is also reforming? ”
Meng Wan also came out and replied:
"Yes, the minister has heard about it!"
Wei Si asked:
"Then what are the Qi countries reforming?"
Meng Wan replied:
"I heard that the reform of the Qi State, now the first thing is to expand the Jixia School Palace, in order to increase the number of students, and then to vigorously develop fish salt and weaving embroidery to make the Qi country richer, and finally I heard that the King of Qi recently took the queen to visit the Sun Bin military division who had already retired to help Tian Ji defeat our Wei army in Maling."
Wei Si smiled:
"Isn't this Sun Bin dead?"
Meng Wan replied:
"No, I heard that Sun Bin is now living in seclusion with his wife and children near Le'an, the hometown of his ancestor Sun Wu, to make a living from farming and weaving, and I heard that he also wrote a book called "Sun Bin Art of War" in his spare time, which was dedicated to the King of Qi during his visit. ”
Wei Si sighed:
"I think back then, it was Tian Ji and this Sun Bin who made our Wei hegemony decline, and our General Pang Juan died tragically in Ma Ling, now Tian Ji is dead, this Sun Bin is quite reclusive, and the widow has sworn to keep it for General Pang Juan, although he has captured the King of Qi in Ma Ling, defeated the Qi army, and avenged it, but he does not let this Sun Bin kneel in front of General Pang Juan's grave and regret, the widow feels that it is still not enough to relieve hatred!"
Meng Wan asked:
"The king's intention, do you still want to capture that Sun Bin and ask General Pang Juan for guilt?"
Wei Si nodded:
"Yes, our Wei State can create the former hegemony, it is inseparable from the achievements of Wu Qi and Pang Juan, if the widow can't be ashamed of General Pang Juan, then which general can unify the world for our Wei State in the future, and then do his best?"
Chen Zhen also said:
"Yes, the king's purpose is to show the people of the world, so that all those in the world who want to achieve meritorious deeds know that our Wei State will treat all loyal ministers and good generals who are loyal to our Wei State with the highest courtesy."
Wei Si nodded:
"Yes, so the widow is also thinking about it, and wants to erect a monument and carve meritorious service in Daliang for Li Kui, Wu Qi, Pang Juan, and Gongsun Yan, four famous generals and sages who have made supreme contributions to our Wei country."
Because of Qi Yougong, Sima You, who was appointed by Wei Si as the middle doctor, came out and said:
"Great King, although the rhino was born in our Wei country for several years before, it is not like Li Kui, Wu Qi, and Pang Juan, the three sages who have made great contributions to our Wei country, and carved a monument, right?"
Chen Zhen explained to him:
"Doctor Sima, you may not understand what the king means, although the merit of the rhino first born is not as good as the three great sages, but without the foundation laid by the rhino first born for our Wei country, it is impossible for our Wei country to dominate the countries again, and the king wants to give the rhino first born this high honor, but also to tell the world's talents, in time, your contribution to our Wei country can not exceed the three great sages Li Kui, Wu Qi, and Pang Juan, you can do as hard work for the Wei country as the rhino first born, and our Wei country will also give them the highest courtesy."
Sima You suddenly realized:
"I see, I misunderstood what the king meant."
At this time, the courtiers also supported:
"I'm Wang Yingming...... I'm Wang Yingming! ”
"My king's love for his ministers is already rare in ancient times!"
"I believe that there will be more countless sages who will come to our Daliang in the future!"
Wei Si then asked again:
"Then what have Qin and South Korea done recently?"
Chen Zhen replied:
"Back to my king, in the recent period, the soldiers and horses of Qin and South Korea have been mobilized very frequently, and they should all be for the purpose of attacking Chu State!"
Wei Si nodded:
"This is also expected!"
Meng Wan asked Wei Si:
"My king, then when will our Wei State send troops and horses to attack Chu?"
Wei Si replied:
"Don't worry, Qin's invasion of Chu is to take revenge, and the division is famous, South Korea is coerced by Qin, and it has to be a last resort, and although our Wei State has fought with Chu in the Song Land before, Chu Xiang still came to our Wei State to express friendship, so we Wei State does not have enough name for the time being."
Meng Wan asked again:
"But in the Mianchi Alliance, didn't the king promise that Qin and Han would jointly attack Chu?"
Wei Si showed a mysterious smile:
"The widow is in Michi, and he did promise to fight Chu with Qin and Han, but the widow didn't promise when to cut Chu? Besides, now that Qin and Han have not yet been at war with Chu, why should we, Wei, be in a hurry to offend Chu? ”
Meng Wan seemed to understand what Wei Si meant:
"It seems that you must have your own plan, my lord."
魏嗣 says:
"Yes, it doesn't hurt for the widow to tell Zhuqing, the widow is now waiting for news from the Chu State, if it is not expected by the widow, as long as the Chu State learns that Qin and Han are going to unite with our Wei State to crusade against it, they will definitely send an envoy to our Wei State."
If you ask:
"Aren't you worried that the Chu envoy has gone to Qin and Korea?"
Wei Si shook his head:
"Impossible, Chu and Qin are originally countries with deep hatred, if the Chu envoy goes to the Qin State, what he will get will only be a humiliation to the Chu State, if the Chu envoy goes to South Korea, now the King of Han will not receive the Chu envoy at all, because if the King of Han receives the Chu envoy, then the Qin State will definitely reproach him, these Chu kings understand in their hearts, so the Chu State can only send envoys to our Wei State."
Chen Zhen said:
"Looking at the meaning of the king, this time the state of Chu will definitely not be able to resist the attack of our three kingdoms?"
Wei Si replied:
"Yes, the State of Chu has just experienced the defeat of Suishui, and the entire army of the Yue Dynasty has been annihilated, so it is impossible to resist the invasion of our three kingdoms."
Ru Er also said:
"Great King, since you know that the state of Chu will be defeated this time, why don't you work with Qin Han to attack Chu as soon as possible and seek the land of the state of Chu, as well as Chen and Cai?"
Wei Si replied:
"Our Wei State has experienced the Song Dynasty, just over half a year of recuperation, and now it is not appropriate to rush to fight again, and this time our three kingdoms invade Chu, if Chu is defeated again, it will definitely lose the place of business, if the Qin and Han armies chase after each other, Chu State will not be able to hold Danyang, I am afraid that even Yingdu will be in danger, so that Chu State will be in a collapse in the future, although our Wei State can get Chu State's Yun, Chen, and even Cai Land, but if you want to completely pacify these places, I am afraid it will take time, and Qin State has eliminated the biggest threat of Chu State, The spearhead will definitely be aimed at our Wei State again. ”
Ru Er nodded:
"The king is right, we only want to occupy Chu State, Chen, and Cai, but we have forgotten to guard against Qin."
Meng Wan also asked:
"But according to the current situation, even if our Wei State does not send troops to attack Chu, I am afraid that the Chu State will not be able to resist Qin and Han, and our Wei State will not be able to leave such a good place as Yun, Chen, and Cai without taking it!"
Wei Si smiled:
"So the widow waited for the Chu envoy to come, just to ask him for Yun, Chen, and Cai in person, according to the widow's expectation, the Chu envoy must not dare to agree, nor dare to refuse, and have to reply to the king of Chu, this Chu envoy is in our Daliang, is there no way for our Wei State to make the Chu envoy agree to the widow's condition first? If this Chu envoy agreed, the widow would have to personally intercede with Qin and Han on behalf of Chu. ”
Chen Zhen gave Wei Si a thumbs up:
"The king is really clever, and he actually came up with this trick to get the three places of Chu without troops, but according to the minister's expectations, the state of Chu will never agree to give these three places to our Wei country."
Wei Si nodded:
"Yes, the widow also understands, so if the Chu State does not sacrifice land this time, then our Wei State can just use the Chu State for the reason of the lack of trust of the Chu State and attack Chu with Qin Han? Isn't this just a famous teacher? ”
