Chapter 581: Qin Wei talks about peace and deceit
Make peace first, and then attack halfway, annihilating the Western Wei in one fell swoop.
Such a strategy is extremely famous in history, and the reason why Liu Ji defeated Xiang Yu that year played a great role.
The Alliance of the Divide is a well-known example of this case.
At the beginning, the overlord of Western Chu was weak, and Peng Yue, the king of Liang, disturbed Chu and cut off the grain and grass of Xiang Yu's Jiangdong foundation.
So much so that hundreds of thousands of troops were short of food and grass, and this led to the famous Divide Alliance.
When the covenant was signed, after Xiang Yu released Liu Ji's wife and children, he tore up the covenant and attacked Xiang Yu when Xiang Yu led the army south.
So much so that Xiang Yu's idea of the Chu River Han realm was completely reduced to a dream bubble, and he also made himself a stepping stone for Liu Ji.
Because of this, Hu Hai is naturally well aware of this strategy. It's just that this strategy seems simple, but it is difficult to implement.
In the Western Wei camp, it is not without people with unique vision, and they have naturally heard of this classic example.
Hu Hai's thoughts flickered in his heart, and at this moment, he was a little unsure about Sima Qingshan's strategy.
After all, if you attack halfway, you need to take advantage of the right time, place and people, otherwise it is very likely that you will fall short.
Hu Hai knew better than anyone that if this thing was to be done, it would not only require the cooperation of his own people, but also the cooperation of King Wei.
"Sima Qingshan, hit halfway, how sure are you?" After half a ring, Hu Hai looked at Sima Qingshan and said.
So far, there is not much time left for him to make a choice.
"Your Majesty, if it is still the leader of the King of Wei, the minister is seventy percent sure!" Emperor Qin asked at this time, and Sima Qingshan blurted out without thinking.
Obviously, Sima Qingshan's decision on this point was made after careful consideration.
"Okay—"
Hu Hai nodded, and said word by word to everyone in the big tent: "In the words of General Sima, I will first make peace with the Western Wei, and then tear up the covenant and attack halfway." ”
"Your Majesty, although it is good to strike halfway, it will inevitably affect Your Majesty's reputation....."
At this time, Bai Shu suddenly spoke, and the disapproval in his tone was no longer necessary.
"My reputation is already a mess, and it is not a big deal if it is not affected, as long as the Great Qin Empire wins, any price is worth it."
Emperor Qin was a person whose interests were paramount, and as long as it was beneficial to the Great Qin Empire, he would do anything.
"Bai Shu, go and invite the envoy of the Western Wei Dynasty, I want to see what the King of the Western Wei wants——!
"Yes——!"
Bai Shu's suggestion was vetoed by Emperor Qin, but he did not have the slightest dissatisfaction in his heart, because he knew that in the Great Qin Empire, Emperor Qin's orders were above all else.
Anything, as long as Emperor Qin nodded and agreed, this was the final decision, and no one could object.
This is the iron law of the Great Qin Empire, which has existed in the Great Qin court since the first emperor, and has become the consensus of the Great Qin court and the opposition.
After Bai Shu left, Mi Wu, Sima Qingshan and others frowned slightly, especially Sima Qingshan, this half-way suggestion was put forward by him.
But he was not satisfied with this plan. Because he knew that at this moment, it was the best time for the Great Qin Empire to destroy Wei.
Once it is missed, it is blocked by the Shandong countries and the Qin, and if you want to destroy Wei at that time, you will definitely be affected by the whole body.
At that time, it will not be the Great Qin Empire that will be destroyed, and the Shandong countries will all become powerful, and when they are united, it will be a huge threat to the Great Qin Empire going east.
The thought flickered in his heart, Sima Qingshan and Mi Wu glanced at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
Emperor Qin's use of soldiers is unreasonable, and he does not understand the art of war, which is very strange and makes people unable to figure it out.
"Envoy of King Wei, visit Emperor Qin, I don't know what Emperor Qin thinks?" For this negotiation, the envoy came with a major task.
It can be said that he is the hope of Wei Wangwen and the hope that Western Wei can continue to occupy Taiyuan County.
As long as Emperor Qin insisted on going his own way and wanted to fight a decisive battle with Western Wei and Taiyuan County, no matter what price the Qin army paid, he would inevitably break through the Wei army's defense.
Like a flash in the pan, the Western Wei Dynasty will completely wither.
"Haha——!"
Hearing this, Emperor Qin took a deep look at the envoy of King Wei, laughed, and then stopped suddenly.
"I can make peace with the Western Wei, but the king of Wei needs to issue a proclamation to the world, recognizing that Shangdang County belongs to the Great Qin Empire."
"This is my only condition, as long as the King of Wei promises that everything will be fine."
"Emperor Qin's matter is too big, and the foreign ministers can't be the master for a while, and I need my king to make a decision......"
"Hmm."
Nodding, Emperor Qin is naturally aware of this kind of matter about territory, and a small envoy has no right to deal with it at all.
"You go and report to King Wei, I will give you half a day, and I won't wait for it."
At this time, Hu Hai's attitude was resolute, because the Great Qin Empire was in an absolute advantage at this moment.
has an absolute advantage, in such a situation, if Emperor Qin still can't grasp the initiative in negotiation, this shows that Emperor Qin is an undercover agent.
"Yui."
......
Shangdang County had been occupied by the Great Qin Empire, and it was only nominally owned by the Western Wei, but he knew that even if it was so, it would be up to the King of Wei to make a decision.
In addition to this, whoever makes this decision, who dies.
As an envoy of a country, he naturally knows the truth that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and at this time, no matter what it is, there is nothing wrong with being low-key.
Half an hour later, the envoy finally returned to the Wei camp, and after eating, he immediately rushed to the Chinese camp.
"Your Majesty, Chen Qing asks to see ——!" Walking outside the big tent of the Chinese army, Chen Qing bowed solemnly and said.
"Your Majesty, let you go in and see him!" Sima of the Chinese army reported to the king of Wei, walked out of the big tent, and said to Chen Qing.
"Thank you——!"
After nodding his head and thanking him, Chen Qing stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army, and as soon as he walked into the big tent, he bowed solemnly to the handsome position, and said.
"The minister greets the king, and the king is safe!" Chen Qing knows Wei Wangwen too well, and he has the recklessness of his ancestor Wei Huiwang.
But he didn't have the luck of King Wei Hui, at least the Wei State at that time dominated the Central Plains, just like the Western Chu at that time.
Wei Wangwen only ascended to the throne because of Hu Hai, and he did not have much prestige among the Wei state.
Because of this, Wei Wangwen is extremely sensitive to the loyalty of his courtiers, and once he is dissatisfied, disaster will happen.
"Aiqing envoy Qin, what does Emperor Qin say and what is his attitude?" Wei Wangwen looked at Chen Qing in the big tent, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
He knew what Chen Qing's trip to the Qin camp meant to them this time.
"Emperor Qin, Emperor Qin promised to make peace, but Emperor Qin asked the king to issue an edict declaring that Shangdang County belonged to the Great Qin Empire."
"Yes, the minister did not dare to make his own decision, so he came to consult the king."
