Chapter 43 Go to Guanze Alliance
Gongsun Yan responded to the King of Wei:
"Great King, this Xihe and Shangjun have been occupied by the Qin people for more than ten years now, and the Qin people have also stationed heavy troops in them, and they are all easy to defend and difficult to attack...... I'm afraid that with the current strength of our Wei State, it will be difficult to take it back! ”
Wei Si couldn't help but take out a topographical map of Wei depicted in a silk book, glanced at it, and said:
"Yes, the territory on both sides of our Wei Kingdom is really heart-wrenching for the widows to look at, and they are almost divided into two halves by this South Korea!"
Gongsun Yan nodded:
"Yes, I heard that the first king wanted to destroy Korea because of the fact that the territory of Wei was broken, and things could not be communicated because of the blockage of Korea, but he was attacked and defeated by Qi in Maling, and his hope of destroying Han was shattered in an instant, which directly led to this situation has been maintained until the present of the king.
Wei Si asked Gongsun Yan:
"Gongsun Xiangguo, then do you think that if our Wei State wants to be revived, which country should be the first foreign enemy to be solved?"
Gongsun Yan pointed to the West:
"Now the biggest threat to our Wei State is Qin, our Wei State must first weaken Qin, before we have a chance to dominate the princes and dominate the world!"
魏嗣 says:
"But the Qin State is in the west, and the country is poor, but the soldiers are not afraid of life and death, if they start a war with them now, even if they fight, I am afraid that they will kill 10,000 enemies and lose 5,000 themselves, which will also give Qi Chu a chance to take advantage of!"
Gongsun Yan pointed south again:
"Great King, have you forgotten the State of Chu? Didn't you ask Dr. Chen Zhen to make Chu this time? And this time the Qin State is on the battlefield of Bashu, and if Qin gets Bashu, then the Chu State will be attacked by the enemy in the future, and I guess the next target of the Qin State may be transferred to the Chu State! ”
Wei Si nodded:
"What Gongsun Xiangguo said, the widow has already thought of it, so he will let Dr. Chen Zhen go to Chu State, I hope that Chu soldiers can go to support Ba State, and when Qin and Chu fight, then we will have a chance!"
Gongsun Yan couldn't help but ask:
"Great King, don't you want to go to Lian Song Vaqi? Why do you want to fight Qin Chu's idea now? ”
Wei Si smiled lightly:
"Lian Song and Qi, now the Song State has indeed agreed, and this time the main force is the Song State, but it seems that the Zhao State also intends to participate, so we Wei State does not need to contribute many troops!"
Gongsun Yan looked at Wei Si with some understanding:
"Great King, it turns out that you have a foresight, do you want to transfer the newly trained Wei Mang to the west, and wait for Qin Chu to attack the Qin State after the war in Bashu?"
魏嗣 says:
"Yes, this is exactly what the widow intended, and it will unite South Korea, since the last defeat of King Han to Qin, although the two countries signed an alliance, but King Han is very reluctant in his heart, this time with our Wei army as the main force to attack Qin, South Korea must definitely participate!"
Gongsun Yan said again:
"Then the king, you still have to convince the Qin State that you have sent the army to attack Qi now?"
Wei Si looked at Dongfang very confidently:
"So the widow plans to wait for Dr. Chen Zhen to return to the book, and then go to Guanze to meet with King Song and Zhao Jun to strengthen the heart of Qi, and I heard that now Qi and Yan have started a war on the border, so this is a good opportunity!"
Gongsun Yan asked again:
"Then Zhao Yan has always had a grudge, and the minister doesn't understand why Zhao Jun didn't go to attack Yan for Qi this time, but came to attack Qi with the king and the king of Song!"
魏嗣 says:
"According to the widow's guess, Zhao Jun should also be worried that if the Qi State defeats the Yan State, it will be too powerful, after all, Handan is too close to the Qi State, if Qi attacks Zhao again in the future, then the Zhao State will be in danger!"
Gongsun Yan nodded:
"The king, you are right, but I don't know who you sent to attack Qi and Qin this time, the king?"
魏嗣 says:
"Fa Qi, the widow will personally go to the front line to command, as for the war Qin, it is still Gongsun Xiangguo, you go, but the widow will let Chen Zhen, Ru'er, Su Dai and the three of them go to help Gongsun Xiangguo!"
Gongsun Yan asked again:
"Then the king, do you have any instructions for your ministers to cut down Qin?"
Wei Si said:
"This time the invasion of Qin has to be carried out secretly, don't make a noise, and notify the Han army is the same, our biggest purpose of this invasion of Qin is to recover Shangjun and Hexi, so Gongsun Xiangguo, you may have to work hard this time!"
Then he paused and continued:
"And if we can recover Hexi Shangjun this time, the widow plans to replace the Korean Shangdang and other places with the land outside the river, so that the communication between the east and west sides of our Wei State will be more convenient in the future."
Gongsun Yan replied:
"Okay, the king, the minister understands, the minister will do his best this time to recover Hexi Shangjun for the Wei State, and even Yin Jin and other places."
Wei Si immediately reminded Gongsun Yan:
"Gongsun Xiangguo, remember, don't be greedy for merit this time, and there is no hurry to recover Yin Jin and other places in the future, you have to come step by step, you know?"
A few days later, Wei Si really received a reply from Chen Zhen, although the king of Chu coveted the beauty of Zheng Sleeve, but he was not too mediocre, gathered 300,000 Chu soldiers, and went to Ba, one is to save Ba, but to block the way for the Qin army to return from Shu.
After the king of Qin received the news that the state of Chu sent troops to the country of Ba to block the back road of his Qin army, he was also furious, and sent Zhang Yi and Zhu Li to lead almost the country's soldiers and horses to the country of Ba and fight a battle of life and death with the Chu army!
The elite of more than 60,000 Wei soldiers led by Gongsun Yan and Zhai Zhang from all over the country, plus 150,000 Wei Mang, began to secretly advance to the western border of Wei.
Wei Si also began to ride from Daliang to the sky, and went to Guanze to meet with Zhao Jun and King Song to jointly crusade against the Qi State!
Wei Si took Su Qin with him on this trip, and he originally brought the queen and Wei Ji with him by the way, but Wei Ji naturally didn't want to leave the palace because of the big blow to him last time, so he stayed in Daliang and handled the affairs of the court and China with Li Qi and others.
Wei Si and his entourage arrived in Pingyang City at dusk the next day, and Wei Si rested at Li Mao's house in Pingyang in the city.
After dinner, Wei Si was also bored, so he called Wei Shen and Su Dai, and the three of them became ordinary people together and came to Pingyang City to stroll.
At this time, Pingyang City is also very prosperous, although it is dark, but the streets are brightly lit, and the crowd is endless, after all, Pingyang is a necessary place for business travelers from east to west, and it is adjacent to Weiguo, and it is also one of the richest places in the northeast of Wei.
After a while, the three of them walked to a place of fireworks and willow alleys, and a beautifully dressed woman came to pull Wei Si and Su Qin, but they were all driven away by Wei Shen.
At this time, Su Qin looked at these young girls, but he blushed a little, and said to Wei Si:
"King, let's go somewhere else!"
Wei Si looked at Su Qin's expression and naturally remembered his embarrassed appearance when he was intimate with Queen Wei Ji for the first time, so he said to Su Qin:
"Su Qin, you are not young anymore, you are a man, don't you like these girls?"
Su Qin immediately shook his head:
"Your ......, Your Majesty This? ”
Wei Si covered his mouth and laughed, and then said to Wei Shen next to him:
"General Wei Shen, have you looked for these girls outside?"
Wei Shen shook his head:
"The minister can't do such a thing, and the minister still has wives and children in the family!"
Wei Si thought about it and said:
"Back then, Duke Qi Huan and Guan Zhong set up such a place for prostitution in the State of Qi, originally to strengthen the State of Qi, but I didn't expect that now it has developed into other countries, and it has become a symbol of prosperity in one place, it seems really ironic!"
苏秦 says:
"Anyway, I Su Qin can't understand this, this Guan Zhong, as a generation of celebrities, actually advocates such an ignorant thing, it seems that it is really insulting to his reputation!"
Wei Si explained:
"I can't say that, after all, the princes and nations have fought every year, capturing a large number of female slaves from other countries, and the men of their own country have also suffered heavy losses, and countless widows have become popular, and these women have no place to deal with them after all, maybe prostitution is the only feasible way!"
Su Qin said again:
"But I, Su Qin, have studied the book of Confucius, and it is very opposed to Guan Zhong's behavior, and there is not a single house in the Lu country so far, isn't it just as prosperous?"
Wei Si smiled lightly and patted Su Qin's head again:
"Su Qin, that Confucius claimed to be strong in the country of Lu every day, but he never wanted to go to Zhou Wangji to visit Zhou Tianzi, so nominally the country of Lu is also a vassal state that only belongs to the jurisdiction of Zhou Tianzi, what kind of statement should this be?"
Su Qin was a little stunned:
"King, what you said about Confucius's behavior, in fact, Su Qin can't understand it!"
Suddenly, again and again
Two sturdy men forcibly dragged a woman into the house opposite Wei Si and the others, obviously hearing that the woman had been begging for help, but no one paid attention to her at all.
Wei Si was startled at this time, and immediately called Wei Shen:
"General Wei Shen, the widow ordered you to go and rescue that woman!"
Wei Shen replied:
"Obey, my lord!"
And then it went.
Wei Si couldn't help but sigh:
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen to our dignified Great Wei, it seems that the widow will still issue a decree in the future to strictly punish these bullies of women and children!"
Su Qin echoed beside him:
"King, I didn't expect you to be a generation of Ming Jun, it seems that my uncle and I Su Qin are the right people!"
Wei Si said to Su Qin:
"The widow just wants to govern our Great Wei well, at least let the people in our Great Wei live a prosperous life and not be bullied by the surrounding strong neighbors, and then wait for the opportunity to annex the surrounding countries and unify the world, which is what the widow wants!"
Su Qin gave Wei Si a thumbs up:
"The king, you are really ambitious, and I, Su Qin, am also willing to entrust all my life to you, the king, to the Wei country, and help the king to achieve this great cause together!"
At this time, Wei Shen helped the woman who had just been caught in the tower to come out, and the two strong men who carried the woman in before were directly beaten by Wei Shen, and their faces were swollen, and they ran over and began to kowtow to Wei Si and beg for mercy:
"Uncle...... Uncle, spare your life...... Spare your life! ”
"Spare your life...... Uncle spare his life! ”
