It is an established national policy to destroy Wei, and it is also an established national policy to be brave and trustworthy. The greatest difficulty in defeating Wei was not the resistance of Wei or the fall of Wei to Qin, but the logical contradiction of Chu itself. It is this contradiction that makes the Chu State hesitate knowing that it is advantageous to attack Wei - to capture Wei land, at least 10 million to 20 million more stone millets can be accumulated every year.

Among them, the most opposed to the defeat of Wei was Dong Ye Gu, one of the Zhu Ao. The land of Wei is like a butterfly cut off by a horizontal knife, only the second half is left, the left is Shangcai County, and the right is Dasong County. Among them, Korea is also inlaid on the left wing of the Wei State. Cutting Wei, all the way is the left side along the Rushui to the north, until the Fencheng Sai (now southwest of Xuchang, Henan), Anling (now northwest of Yanling County, Henan);

On the right side of the other road, go up from Surabaya and turn to Heshui in the north of Pei County (where Surabaya from Ludi and Heshui from Wei meet here), Bataoyi and Jiyang, bordering Qindong County. This is the most important and important road of the right flank, and it must be supported by Ludi, because the logistical route for attacking from Ludi is the shortest.

However, Dongye Gu, one of the Zhu Ao, thought that this was an innocent attack, which would inevitably make the Chu State have no faith in the world and completely oppose the attack on Wei. Fortunately, he was in power for only one year, and this year, Song Da, the elder of the Yue People's Congress, became the chief of Zhu Ao, so he constantly proposed to prepare for the invasion of Wei.

The state of Qin attacked Wei, and Wei Jian said that the king of Wei would dedicate the land to Qin. Although he didn't say which piece of land to dedicate, in fact, there was only one piece of land that could be offered, that is, Dasong County, which borders Qindong County. After Qin obtained the Great Song Prefecture, it directly bordered the Chu State, and if it could capture Pengcheng and Xiapi along Surabaya, the land of Nalu would be divided outside the Chu State, and the land communication line between the Chu State and the Qi State would also be cut off.

Rather than waiting for Wei to bribe the Great Song County to Qin, it would be better for Chu to annex it now to resist Qin. This is Xiong Jing's logic, as for whether there is faith or not, there is no way to take it into account. Besides, is it necessary to believe in the Three Jin Dynasty and the Qin State?

After Wei Jian left in despair, the carrier pigeon flew to Yingdu. After receiving the pigeon news, the communication department declassified the message and presented it to Zhu Ao, the message was very simple, and the content about the war Wei was only fifteen words: Xinling Junyan, Wei wants to offer land to bribe Qin, please quickly destroy Wei.

"Wei is innocent, and there is no faith in this!" After the flyer finished reading the inquiry, Higashino shook his head again.

"Wei has bribed Qin like Zhao," Cheng Jie was most in favor of cutting Wei. "I don't cut down Wei, Qin has Wei and kills me, what can I do?"

"Wei has the heart to bribe Qin and wants to offer the Great Song County to Qin. When felling. "Nao cunning and Chengjie have one meaning.

Su Kai also said, "Wei Guoshu dedicated his land to Qin for peace." When felling. ”

"Pawn." Zhao Huang and Great Elder Song spoke in unison, and the only thing left was Lan Hao who did not express his position.

"I thought we might be able to negotiate with Wei." Seeing that several people were looking at him, Lan Hao expressed his opinion.

"How do you talk about it?" Seisuke asked urgently. "The people of the Three Jin Dynasty can't be trusted!"

"As long as Wei promises not to bribe Qin to donate land, I should not cut down Wei." Lan Hao explained, his words making Seisuke laugh.

"Wei Guo has no faith, what is the use of promises?" Nao also felt that Lan Hao's suggestion was unreasonable. In his eyes, in the eyes of many Chu people, the Three Jin and the Qin State belong to the same kind of country. The Qin State was repeatedly coaxed and played by the Jin State when Qin Mugong was in power, and when he was fooled many times, he learned badly; Han Wei and Zhao divided the Jin Kingdom into three points and won the country, which was a retainer stealing the king's property, which was a villain's behavior.

"It is true that Wei has no faith, but since the alliance, has Wei broken its trust in my Chu state?" Lan Hao argued. Seeing that Nao was cunning and didn't answer, he said: "Qin State is attacking Zhao, why should Wei State bribe Qin?" How can this undone thing be taken seriously? If you insist on cutting Wei, please decide with the court. ”

Xiong Jing Faqi is only a Yingshi, and the division is famous, Zhu Ao and Zhengchao do not object. The war against Wei is different, the war on Wei needs all Chu to send troops, and the division is nameless, which will be decided by the court. Lan Hao's proposal could never be objected to, so Zhu Ao had to agree.

As a small country, even if you are cautious, disaster can strike suddenly. Han Wei was such a small country, so much so that Wei Zeng, the king of Wei, saw the statement of the Great Chu Daily about the defeat of Wei brought by Wei Xi, and he was stunned for a while before regaining his senses.

"Wei Jian deserves to die!" Wei Xi scolded angrily, he felt that the king had trusted Wei Jian too much in the past two years.

"How's that? How? Wei Zeng muttered to himself, "Do you want to ask for Qin?" ”

"If the king asks for Qin, Chu will attack me." Wei Xi still has some brains, although he was tricked by the honest man Lian Po once.

"So what?" Wei Zeng asked again, and his body couldn't help but tremble. In the first battle of Linzi, the 30,000 Chu army defeated the 230,000 Qi army, such combat effectiveness is by no means something that the Wei army can resist, can it be said that the Wei State will be destroyed?

"The king or wait for Wei Jian to return to China?" The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, there are only a handful of people who can make ideas in this matter, although Wei Jianwei should be killed, but if he kills Wei Jianwei, a pro-Chu faction, how to negotiate with the Chu State?

"Tell the king, the big merchant Bai Yi should ask to see." The confessor suddenly made a statement outside the hall. Probably worried that the king of Wei would not summon him, the confessor who took the benefit said: "There is a way to avoid disaster, please see the king." ”

The government affairs of the state of Chu are very fond of being published in the newspapers, although this will be known by the enemy country's marquis spies, but it can also be known by the common people of the whole country. The war against Wei is a matter of the whole country, and the decision of the court must naturally be made public. There is a time limit for the court decision, and at the speed of transmission of the flying message, it will take at least 10 days from the announcement of the court decision to the implementation of the court decision; Moreover, the decision of the court is not decided in a day, and if there is a strong opposition to a matter involving the whole country, the court must debate for three days before it can decide to abolish it.

Bai Yi's way of obtaining information was the same as Wei Zeng's. As soon as he came in, he said loudly: "The minister has a strategy, which can make the state of Chu not destroy the state of Wei." ”

"Words." What Wei Zeng wants is this kind of straightforwardness.

"Please take the Chu people as the Wei Xiang." Bai Yi paused and shouted loudly.

In order to control weak and small countries, powerful countries often send people to other countries to control the government for their ministers. In this way, the strong country can rest assured, and the weak country can also accept it. Bai Yi proposed this policy, and Wei Zeng did not agree with it, but the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became. The state of Chu attacked Wei because it was worried that Wei would cut land and bribe Qin like Zhao State, and if the Chu people came to be the prime minister of Wei, there would be no such worries.

"Good!" Wei Zeng thought about it for a long time before nodding heavily, this is the only and most appropriate way.

"The king, the Chu dynasty is about to be decided, please send an envoy to Yingdu as soon as possible to talk about the Chu people." Bai Yi said again.

"Can Bai Qing make Chu?" Wei Zeng asked. Wei Jian is estimated to be still in Qi State, and the court and the central government are all mediocre, so he can't find the envoys.

"The minister is a businessman, and the Chu people may be light, so that Chu cannot also." Bai Yi's answer disappointed Wei Zeng, but he quickly recommended a more suitable candidate: "Tang Ju can also, please ask the king to use Tang Ju to make Chu, and he will be able to say it." ”

"Summoning Tang Ju." When Wei Zeng heard Tang Ju, he was immediately overjoyed. Tang Jujiu has been a guest of Chunshenjun for a long time, and he is very familiar with the Chu State, and he once made the Qin State say that Qin withdrew the army, and the people of Chu did not feel bad for him even if they were not grateful.

Xinlingjun is not in Daliang, and it turns out to be Tang Ju in the ancient years of Chu who can envoy Chu State. Fortunately, Tang Ju has been a lobbyist all his life, and the courtiers of Chu State have no objection, the only thing he is worried about is the heat in early summer, and the old Tang Ju is likely to die on the road.

Liang Tang Ju made Chu, and the matter of Chu's invasion of Wei also spread in Qi, Qi people couldn't believe it, and Zhao made Sikong Ma disappointed, he thought that the bribery of Qin could get Qi Chu's rescue, but he didn't expect that Qi planned to take the opportunity to attack Henan, and Chu wanted to attack Wei.

"Shangqing's strategy is wrong!" Ge De looked at Sima Kong very helplessly, and he now regretted agreeing to let Sikong Ma go to see Xiong Jing first. The result of his meeting with Xiong Jing was that Xiong Jing no longer saw him.

"Hey......" Sima Kong is no longer as dead and unrelieving his mistakes as he did a few days ago. According to the political system of the Chu State, the King of Chu threatened to attack Wei, but it was the Yingshi who attacked Wei, which was a trivial matter, and the intention of the King of Chu was not equal to the intention of the State of Chu; The state of Chu is now a decisive attack on Wei, and this country sends troops to attack Wei, which is a big deal. If you really want to fight against Wei, then Zhao will be saved. Chu Wei battle, how can there be kung fu to save Zhao?

"Jun Ke met with the king of Chu and told him that the strategy of bribing Qin was a contemptible one-man plan, not a policy of Zhao State." Sikong Ma was deeply attached to Ge.

"However, the king of Chu has not seen me, what can I do......" Ge De was a little sad, he hadn't asked to see the king of Chu in the past few days, but what could he do if he didn't see him. There is a saying in the state of Chu and Wei that it is called the enemy who bribes Qin. Since Zhao has become the enemy state of Chu, why should the king of Chu meet with the envoys of the enemy country?

"It's not that hard." Sima Kong smiled strangely. "Since the contemptible person is the secretary of Zhao State, he should seek benefits for Zhao State. Bribing Qin to say that Chu is a mistake of contemptible, please hold the head of a contemptible person to see, and the king of Chu should see it. ”

"Shangqing!" Ge De was taken aback when he heard this, Sima Kong was already with a horizontal sword in his neck, and when he raised his hand to stop it, the bronze sword swipeed, and blood shot out like a fountain. At this time, the corners of Sima Kong's mouth were still smiling, and with such a smile, his body fell to the ground suddenly.

"Sikong Ma is dead?!" Looking at the human head in the wooden letter, Xiong Jing couldn't help but be stunned.

"Yes, yes." The Confessor said. Zhao envoy said that bribing Qin south of Tuoshui was a one-man plan, not a policy of Zhao Guo. Zhao envoy wanted to meet the king and use the plan to resist Qin. ”

"King, Zhao Guo killed Sima Kong to show that he would no longer bribe Qin, see you." Refractive and Jin Yiyi both suggested. It is not allowed to bribe Qin, and now that Zhao Guo does not bribe Qin, it must be regarded as his own people.

"Summoning Zhao Envoy." Xiong Jing waved his hand and asked the confessor to summon Ge De into the hall.

"The minister has to meet the king." Without Sima Kong's arrogance, Ge De bowed to Xiong Jing as soon as he came in.

"What does Zhao Guo want?" Xiong Jing asked bluntly.

"Tell the king: Zhao will do his best to resist Qin, and he will die." Gede said loudly, and his loud voice shook the house. "Sikong Ma's strategy of bribing Qin is his own plan, and the widow does not investigate, and he will be killed today to thank the king."

"What's the use of Xie Buyu? This Zhao State is also a matter of the country. Xiong Jing was satisfied, and he was not polite. However, to this day, how many soldiers can Zhao Guo fight? What is the geometry of millet in the warehouse? The Qin people are relentless in attacking Zhao, how long can the Zhao State be supported? ”

"Tell the king: Zhao Guoke's soldiers are less than 400,000, and only 150,000 of the 250,000 elite soldiers remain; The corn could have been eaten for three years and five months, but since the fierce battle, the Qin has attacked many cities, and the warehouse has been captured by the Qin people, and the corn has only one year left......"
