Chapter VIII National Policies

Xinling Jun Wei Jianwu was the first to arrive in Linzi. With the changes in the situation in the world, Wei became more and more pro-Chu, and Wei Jian was more and more relied on by Wei Zeng. Wei Jian hoped that the kingdoms could join forces to attack Qin again to relieve the danger of Zhao, but Wei Zeng, the king of Wei, actually only hoped that Chu Qi would save Zhao, and Wei would follow. Today's Wei State is no longer the Wei State of ten years ago, and it no longer has the strength and courage to lead Hezong.

The key to saving Zhao lies in the Qi State. The reform of the Qi State has not been completed, the national government has not been decided, and there is no way to discuss the matter of connivance, so Wei Jianwei has been waiting in Linzi. Xiong Jing beckoned, and he came soon. Qi Dynasty Xiangtian took a long time before he hurried over.

"How's the court?" Xiong Jing asked Xiang Tian Leave. This is symbolic, and after more than a month of deliberations, things have not made much progress.

"As always." Tian Jiao is very depressed, there are more than 70 cities in Qi country, more than 70 Yi doctors, each with their own ideas. During the court meeting, the taxes of each Yi were invariably intercepted by the Yi doctors. Although it has no impact in the short term, it will still be the case at the end of the year, and the Qi court will be closed. Linzi alone can't afford to support so many officials and troops.

Dr. Yi's court council Xiong Jing has not been directly involved, and only proposed a rough plan at the beginning. The performance of Dr. Zhuyi disappointed him, the prestige of the Linzi court faded, and Zhuyi showed a state of scattered sand. As for saying that the Qin people destroyed the country, Dr. Jixia didn't shout, so the Qi country has not been destroyed, and now talking about destroying the country is not to scare yourself?

"We'll talk about it at the end of the month." Xiong Jing also frowned, he only achieved the goal of Qi to defeat Qin, and did not meet the expectations of Qi to resist Qin. "Zhao made Sima Kong, saying that if the countries did not save Zhao, Zhao would cut the south of Tuoshui to Qin."

"South of Hutuoshui?" Wei Jianwei is familiar with Zhao Guo, and Tian Jiao is a little unclear. When the map was presented to the left and right, he was taken aback and said in fear: "How can the Zhao people be like this!" ”

"In the defeat of Pingyang, the Zhao army beheaded 60,000, and before the flood of the great river, Qin increased his troops to attack Zhao. If the countries do not save Zhao, Zhao may die. "Xiong Jing Dao." If Zhao dies, or Qin and Zhao negotiate peace, the Qin army will go south. ”

The more Xiong Jing said that Tian Jiao became more worried. It is very likely that the Zhao State will survive by bribing Qin, so the Qi State will be in danger. Jixi was originally under the edge of the Qin army, and in the land between the Qin rivers, Jibei was also threatened by the Qin army. Jibei is the place where the Yan army invaded Qi back then, and this area is defenseless.

"If Zhao Guo bribes Qin, Qi Guo should pull out the land south of Zhao Henan, please ask the king for permission." Tian Fake pleaded. The so-called land of Henan is the two cities of Rao'an and Fuyang south of the Yellow River. After pulling out these two cities, the Qi State can still defend along the big river. If these two cities are not pulled, the Qin army will attack Qi and enter a no-man's land.

"If Zhao Guo bribes Qin, he will naturally be the enemy of all countries." Xiong Jing agreed without hesitation. "However, if Zhao Guo exists, it is beneficial to Qi. Instead of attacking the land of Henan, it is better to join forces to attack Qin. ”

"This ......," Tian said. In the past, the Linzi court may have been able to directly issue a royal order to save Zhao - of course, there is a high probability that the result of saving Zhao is that the Qi army will collapse at the first touch, and saving it is equivalent to not saving. Now that Linzi has been captured by the Chu army, the king's orders that were previously disobeyed by Yang and Yin are now naked disobedience. Save Zhao? No way.

"Qi Xiang might as well tell the doctor Zhuyi that Zhao Ren wants to bribe Qin." Wei Jian worriedly suggested. "Even if Qi can't save Zhao, it can still send grain to Zhao. Zhao Guo exchanged the land of Henan for Qi national corn, this move is okay? ”

"Yes." When Xiong Jing heard this, he immediately agreed, and this was a solution that would be beneficial to both sides.

"Maybe." Tian Jiao is not worried, although he is Qi Xiang, there is nothing he can do about those Yi doctors.

"There is another plan for intermittent worries," Wei said again. "Qi people are heavy on profits, and there are many sons of the Qian family, so can you lend Zhao a lot of money? Zhao died, and the capital and money died; Zhao Cun, all the capital and money. ”

In the end, it is from Sanjin, and there are a few more eyes than ordinary people. Wei Jian's plan made Xiong Jing nod again, this is to kidnap Qi Guo financially. If it really happens, it will be done, but after nodding, Xiong Jing felt that this matter was difficult to do. Borrowing money doesn't happen overnight, especially in times of war. Zhao Guo is about to die, who would dare to lend money to Zhao people.

"It's too slow." Tian Leave also felt that this matter was not feasible. "Please retire so that Zhao can tell the doctor of Zhuyi."

Tian Jia came in a hurry and left in a hurry. After he left, Wei Jian said worriedly, "The king, as seen by the court, the Qi State should not save Zhao." That being the case, can the state of Chu swallow Qi? If you swallow Qi, Chu will be strong, and if Chu is strong, Qin will be weak, and the countries may survive. The widow means that if the state of Chu swallows Qi, the state of Wei is willing to send troops to help. ”

"What do you mean?" Xiong Jing smiled. He didn't expect that King Wei would want to get a piece of the Qi country.

"Walk before and after!" Wei Jian sighed worriedly. Although Linzi was captured, there were still more than 70 cities in Qi State, and they were fought one by one, and I really don't know how much time it would take. If you change the law like the Qin State, it will also take time, and it will take more time.

To attack, you only need to destroy the Tian clan; Changing the law will not only eliminate the Tian clan, but also the Shangjia. Qi has accumulated disadvantages so far, and the result of this will only be national turmoil. Moreover, changing the law is not a panacea, and even the Nanjun that has been occupied by the Qin State for more than 40 years cannot completely implement the Qin Law, let alone the Qi State. The Shang Dynasty Reform Law was to bring the mature laws and decrees of the Six Kwantung Kingdoms to the Qin State, which had never implemented the rule of law. Qi has long had the rule of law, and the people have long been 'immune', and the implementation of the Qin law cannot achieve the effect of Qin's law change.

In the final analysis, it is the people's nature that has become 'bad'. Once the people's nature becomes 'bad', no matter how good the law is, it will not be effective. The ability to establish a sound system and rely on the system to govern is because the people's nature is still pure. The Legalists came from the eastern part of the country, and the people were naturally more slippery and unruly than the people in Guanzhong, and it was completely an empirical mistake to infer the immunity of the new Qianshou from the immunity of the old Qianshou in Guanzhong after the Qin State was over. Bacteria without brains are resistant to antibiotics, let alone people with brains.

Wei Jian sighed worriedly, and Xiong Jing smiled. He didn't fight against Qin like Qi State, he only hoped that Qi State would not surrender Qin, and this goal was not difficult to achieve.

"The country of Qi doesn't want to be indulging, and so is changing the law." Xiong Jing Road. "If you want to save Zhao, you still need Chu and Wei."

"If the State of Qi does not save the State of Zhao today, will the State of Qi save the State of Wei and the State of Chu in the future?" Wei Jian sighed worriedly. "Today, the nations are like counties, and if the Qin State wins the Zhao State again, it will not be far away."

"What does King Wei want?" Xiong Jing asked. Wei Jian is Wei Jian Worry, and Wei Wang is Wei Wang, and the two are different.

"Qin invades Wei, if there is no conspiracy, the widow may also offer land and bribe Qin to save the country." Wei Jian said worriedly. "If you join the longitudinal group, you should take the king as the commander, although you send troops, but the fox is just a fake tiger."

Wei Jian said bluntly about Wei's countermeasures, although Xiong Jing had expected it, his heart still sank. Zhao State bribed Qin, Wei State bribed Qin, and Qi State estimated that they would also bribe Qin, and the combination was actually meaningless. Instead of conspiring with each other, it is better for the Chu State to act freely.

"The king of Wei dedicated his land to Qin, where will he dedicate it?" Xiong Jing paused slightly, his eyes staring at Wei Jianwei.

Before the envoy to Linzi, Wei Zeng, the king of Wei, repeatedly explained some things to Wei Jianwu, so that Wei Jianwu complained from time to time. Half-complaining, he wanted to make Xiong Jing feel that the situation was urgent, he said this, but he didn't expect Xiong Jing to immediately ask where he was offered, and Wei Jian was suddenly uneasy.

"This minister's speculation is just that, the Qin State will attack Zhao without stopping, and it is not enough to seek Wei." Wei Jian's vest was sweating, and he smiled awkwardly.

"It's still like Qin Guo won't attack Zhao?" Xiong Jing was still looking at him, and he had already roughly guessed in his heart that the Wei State would sacrifice that piece of land to the Qin State.

"This," Xiong Jing grabbed this sentence, and Wei Jian was already on pins and needles. "The matter of sacrificing land is related to the Wei State Sheji, how do the ministers know where the widow wants to dedicate it?"

"The nations were afraid of Qin and bribed Qin, and Qin was able to sit big. The bigger the Qin state, the more fearful the countries are, and the more they bribe Qin. Zhao Guo can bribe Qin with half of the country, and Wei Guo is afraid that he will also bribe Qin with half of the country, right? Xiong Jing no longer stared at Wei Jianwei, which made him breathe a sigh of relief.

"However, the Qin State has already sat down, and the Zhao State will die again, and there will be no sparing gift in the world." Wei Jian looked at the door of Mingtang worriedly, he wanted to fly back to Daliang now, and reminded the king to be careful of Chu - Qi heard that Zhao Guo bribed Qin to attack the land of Henan, and Chu State heard that Wei State wanted to sacrifice land, so naturally he had to take action. Just thinking of the carrier pigeon of Chu again, his head quickly turned back.

Standing up, Wei Jian frowned at Xiong Jing and said sincerely: "The king wants to attack Wei Hu? ”

"Yes, yes." Xiong Jing hesitated for a moment and admitted unabashedly.

"Alas!" Wei Jian suddenly felt a chill in his heart, he thought that the state of Chu could be relied on, who thought that the state of Chu would also attack Wei. "The king of Wei, what is the crime of Wei? The Great King Vawei, how different is this from the Qin people?! ”

"Instead of Wei sacrificing land to bribe Qin, it is better for Chu to occupy it to resist Qin." Rejecting Qin, uniting Qi, helping Zhao, and swallowing Wei are the established national policies of the Chu State, which were set a long time ago. Now that the Qin State has attacked Zhao on a large scale and has no time to look south, it is the best time for the development of the Chu State.

The purpose of marriage is to unite Qi, and the purpose of cutting Qi is also to unite Qi, and the means are one and the other. The reason why Wei is treated like this is that geography is one reason, the King of Wei is no longer the King of Wei ten years ago is another, and the last key reason is that Wei does not have a clan like Qi State, which is easy to digest.

The year before last, the year before last, the state of Chu was resting, the training of non-commissioned officers did not stop, this year's non-commissioned officer training has come to an end, and the first batch of cadets of the military academy will also graduate, and it is indeed possible to fight. The original plan of the Operations Department of the Great Sima Mansion was to finish the affairs of the Qi State and take advantage of the Qin State's lack of time to take care of the attack on Wei, but now it seems that the war on Wei will be advanced.

"The widow's dedication of land is just a conjecture of the minister, and it is not accurate." Wei Jian argued vigorously. "The king walks in the world with faith, why do the people of the world believe in the king again? In those days, I tried to persuade the prince to be in Chu, and the king was in Wei, why did I worry about it, why did I ......"

Wei Jianwu suddenly sobbed loudly, sat down on the ground, and began to cry. Xiong Jing listened to his cry helplessly but indifferently, and he was merciless to Wei State.
