Chapter 67 Zhang Yi Liang debated the scholars
Zhang Yi, who has countless experiences, can't help but think of Chen Zhen, didn't he also say similar things to himself a few years ago? didn't care about what Su Qin said, but looked at this young descendant Su Qin very curiously:
"Aren't you the Su Qin who was taken by King Wei and brought with him?"
Su Qin nodded:
"Yes, I am Su Qin!"
Zhang Yi turned his gaze to Su Dai to the side:
"Mr. Sudai's nephew is really worthy of his reputation!"
Su Dai replied with a smile:
"Yes, I didn't expect Zhang Xiang, you are much more generous than before, and you are teased by my nephew like this, and you don't have the slightest intention of being angry!"
Zhang Yi also smiled:
"Being angry with a descendant, is it my dignified Qin Xiang Zhang Yi's style?"
Ruer, who had been silent for a long time, also came over and asked Zhang Yi at this time:
"I don't know what happened to Zhang Xiang, why did you come to my beam this time?"
Zhang Yi replied like an ear:
"Of course, the prime minister came to Daliang to see you King Wei, but it's a pity that King Wei is unwilling to treat me Zhang Yi at this time because of some small misunderstandings in the past, what a pity, what a pity!"
Chen Zhen also came over and asked Zhang Yi:
"Zhang Xiang, I don't know what you mean by what you mean by this pity?"
Zhang Yi pointed to a wine house not far away:
"I see that all of you have just returned to this beam from all over the world, and you must be tired and hungry, right? It is also inconvenient for a few of us to talk here, so I Zhang Yi will be the east, how about inviting you to have a few drinks? ”
Chen Zhen, Su Dai, and Ru Er looked at each other, after all, even if the three of them were together, they would not be able to suffer in front of Zhang Yi, so they agreed to Zhang Yi, and Su Qin and Zi Lian naturally followed.
After everyone drank a few glasses of wine, they still couldn't help it, and first asked Zhang Yi:
"Zhang Xiang, you should be able to explain your intentions, right?"
Zhang Yi sighed, and asked a little knowingly:
"Alas, I don't know your lords, have you heard of the war between Qin and Chu now?"
Ru Er immediately replied:
"I'm from Chu as my ears, how can I not know about the war between Qin and Chu?"
Chen Zhen asked Zhang Yi at this time:
"Qin and Chu are at war, and now that Chu has defeated the Qin army, it is almost to your Qin capital Xianyang, and Zhang Xiang, as the minister of Qin, does not want to defend his own land, but instead comes to Han and Wei to wander, isn't this kind of behavior for self-preservation?"
Zhang Yi smiled lightly at Chen Zhen:
"Doctor Chen, you also underestimate our Qin State too much, just a small defeat, for our Qin State, it's just that one of the eight-legged spiders has been broken, and it can't hurt the muscles and bones, and the main force of our Qin army is waiting for the decisive battle of the Chu army in Lantian, you can rest assured!"
Chen Zhen asked again:
"Then it seems that your Qin State is really strong, but in Hexi, it was defeated by our Wei State, causing Hexi, Shangjun, and even Hangu Pass to return to our Great Wei."
Zhang Yi replied with some understatement:
"The defeat of Hexi is just that General Lijian was deceived by your King of Wei, but it is only a place in Hexi and Hangu, and our Qin State will still be like searching for things if they want to take it back in the future."
Su Dai looked at Zhang Yi with a sneer at this time:
"Zhang Xiang, your breath is too big, right? I heard that in the past few years, the Qin State has been fighting non-stop every year, the people are poor, and the hungry prisoners are all over the territory, and the losses in the battles of Hexi and Shang alone have reached more than 200,000 soldiers, even if the population of your Qin State reaches millions, I am afraid it is not enough for your Qin King to toss so much, right? ”
Zhang Yi still smiled and said to Su Dai:
"Mr. Su Dai, you may not know much about our Qin State, even if our Qin State only has more than one million people, but among our more than one million people, excluding women, children, old and young, we can recruit more than 300,000 soldiers, and even if the people of your Wei and Han countries add up to nearly 8 million people, the soldiers and horses that can be collected are only 800,000, so you should be able to think of the number of soldiers and soldiers that are still alive in our Qin State."
Su Dai listened to my Zhang Yi's words, and couldn't help but say:
"You King Qin can't help but be too tyrannical to the people of your Qin State, right?"
Zhang Yi refuted Su Dai:
"In this troubled world, if you are like the people of the eastern countries, you only know pleasure, and don't think about who gave you the capital of pleasure, you are not worthy of being the people of a country, and we Qin people understand this truth, so we Qin State will begin to rise among the princes these years!"
Chen Zhen smiled bitterly and said:
"Zhang Yi, I really convince you, but the tyranny of King Qin's expropriation can be said to be the people's voluntary repayment of the country's kindness, ridiculous...... It's ridiculous! ”
Zhang Yi changed the topic:
"I don't want to spend any more useless words with you, so I'll tell you the purpose of my visit this time!"
Chen Zhen, Su Dai, and Ru Er made a gesture to Zhang Yi together:
"Zhang Xiang, please speak!"
Zhang Yi said:
"I, Zhang Yi, came here to send two pieces of land to the King of Wei, one is Chen Yi and the other is Shangcai, but unfortunately the King of Wei doesn't look down on these two pieces of fertile land!"
Chen Zhen smiled lightly:
"Zhang Xiang, it's the first time I've heard that a dignified minister of the Qin State would actually say such a high-sounding thing as giving the land of the Chu State that is about to destroy his own Qin State to another country, and our king doesn't want to see you, and it should be!"
张意 says:
"Doctor Chen, if you listen to me, you will naturally understand!"
Chen Zhen looked at Zhang Yi with some mockery:
"Okay, I'm playing Chen Zhen, but I really want to know what Zhang Xiang wants to say next!"
Zhang Yi continued:
"Now that Qin and Chu are at war, the State of Chu has almost transferred all the troops stationed on the border of Zaihan and Wei to our Qin realm to fight, and the State of Chu is now empty even the defense of its capital Yingdi, so as long as you Wei State and South Korea go to attack the State of Chu now, then the State of Wei will definitely be able to get the land of Chenyi and Shangcai of the State of Chu, and South Korea will also get the Luyang and Wandi of the State of Chu, so that it is a good thing that you can get a lot of land without losing the army, I am afraid that no one in the world will want to miss it."
Without waiting for Chen Zhenwei to speak, Zhang Yi said again:
"I, Zhang Yi, have also heard that your King of Wei has recently discussed with the King of Han about changing land, and your Wei land is not abundant, although you have recaptured the land of Shangjun in Hexi, but if you want to change land with Korea, I am afraid that the loss will not be less, right? So why don't you advise your king to take this opportunity to seize the two places of Chu State, Chen Yi and Shangcai, and take a piece of land at will to exchange it with Korea for the land he wants, won't the king of Han agree? Korea is now more interested in the land in the south! ”
Su Dai couldn't help but say:
"Zhang Xiang, you just want us Han Wei to help you encircle Chu and save Qin, but you should understand that Chu and our Han and Wei are allies, and our Wei State will not secretly do unjust things to the allies!"
Zhang Yi chuckled:
"Mr. Su Dai, what you said is full of benevolence and righteousness, thinking that the Duke of Zhou, who assisted the king, was also full of benevolence and righteousness back then, and finally in order to protect his position as the Duke of Zhou, he went to crusade against Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai who were unwilling to obey him, did Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai really rebel against the Zhou royal family back then?"
Su Qin finally spoke:
"Uncle Guan and Uncle Cai, they really just wanted to bring down Duke Zhou back then, but their behavior of uniting with the descendants of Yin Shang of the previous dynasty to oppose Duke Zhou's auxiliary government was also against the interests of the Zhou royal family, even if they became the prince's pro-government back then, it was intolerable!"
Zhang Yi said again:
"Now that Zhou Tianzi is still here, according to etiquette, the princes and countries should see Zhou Tianzi every year, but now Zhou Tianzi has already groveled to the princes and countries, so where is this heavenly principle and morality, and in this era of princes competing for hegemony, the land and the people are the most important thing in a country, and now your Wei State is unwilling to take the rich land of Chen Yi and Shangcai, but when it comes to morality, it is really ridiculous, ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Chen Zhen said at this time:
"Zhang Xiang's eloquence is indeed extraordinary, but if you want our Wei State to send troops to attack Chu, then you have to let King Han send troops first, so may I ask if King Han agreed to send troops to attack Chu?"
Zhang Yi felt that several people seemed to have been persuaded by herself, and a trace of joy appeared on her face:
"Of course, King Han has already agreed to send troops to attack Chu, so I Zhang Yi rushed to Daliang to persuade King Wei!"
After Chen Zhen glanced at Su Dai and Ru Er respectively, he said to Zhang Yi:
"Okay, Zhang Xiang, tomorrow we will help you persuade our king, whether the king will receive you, we can't be sure!"
Zhang Yi replied:
"Okay, then thank you a few adults!"
After saying that, he left his seat to pay the bill, and after saying goodbye to a few people, he left.
After Zhang Yi walked away, Su Qin asked Su Dai:
"Uncle, do you really believe in that Zhang Yi like that?"
Su Dai replied:
"Nephew, it's not a question of believing it or not, these are two fertile lands of Chen Yi and Shangcai, I think that the Chu State was trying to get two pieces of land back then, but it took several generations of efforts, and now it is in front of our Wei State, how can our Wei State not take it?"
Su Qin asked again:
"Then if our Wei State takes these two pieces of land, aren't we afraid of the Chu State's retaliation in the future?"
Ru Er said with a smile at this time:
"Su Jizi, you are still young, even if this Chu State wants to retaliate in the future, if the King of Chu is not rational, the first to choose revenge is of course the Qin State, if the King of Chu is more sensible, the country that should retaliate is the weakest of the three kingdoms of Wei, Qin, and Han, and it is impossible to retaliate against our Wei State first, so when they fight, our Wei State may be able to get a lot of benefits."
Su Qin asked again:
"Then if we really attack the Chu State now, won't the defeat of the two countries of Qin and Chu that the king wants to see come to naught?"
Ru Er sighed and said:
"Alas, Qin Chu is actually very difficult to fight this time, because the King of Chu has already learned that the King of Qin is now in person in Lantian, and the Qin army in Lantian has gathered nearly 600,000 people, and the total number of troops of the Chu army to attack Qin is more than 200,000, although the battle of Shang Yu has been greatly won, I am afraid that there will be tens of thousands of casualties, so even if the Chu army reaches Lantian, it will not dare to fight the Qin army again!"
Su Qin asked again:
"But I heard the news that the King of Chu is ready to attack Xianyang, the capital of Qin, at this time?"
Ru Er explained:
"The King of Chu just wants to scare the King of Qin, so that the Qin army must strictly defend Lantian to defend its capital, and dare not counterattack the land of Shangyu, so as to delay time and give Jingcui to consolidate the land of Shangyu that he just occupied, and the King of Qin is not stupid, he understands the intention of the King of Chu, so he sent Zhang Yi to our Wei Han to lobby about the attack on Chu, so that after the Chu army withdraws, he will recapture the two places of Shangyu!"
Su Qin couldn't help but say:
"I see, the matter of this dispute among the nations is indeed too complicated, and I, Su Qin, have to study hard with my uncles!"
