Chapter 122 Shu looks at Chu, and Chu is decided
In 318 B.C., the five kingdoms of Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu jointly attacked Qin, and Qin was defended by Hangu Pass, and the five kingdoms attacked Qin. In 317 B.C., the Qin State swept the Yiqu to the north, shocked Xirong to the west, stabilized the trouble of Rongdi, and swung the first sword from the east to Korea. This sword is also the sword of revenge of the Qin State. The Qin State wants to go east, peep into the Zhou room, seize Jiuding, and fight for the world, and the first step is to defeat Han.
Qin attacked Korea, and Zhao and Wei sent troops to help. The strength of the Qin State against the Three Jin Dynasty is really difficult. The state of Qin showed weakness to the three Jin on the one hand. On the one hand, he sent an envoy to the State of Qi and asked the State of Qi to attack the Three Jins.
Han, Zhao, Wei, Yan, and Chu were combined, with the king of Chu as the longitudinal commander. To the west, you can attack the Qin state, and to the east, you can also seek the Qi state. Qi Wang Tian Piqi also realized that the Five Kingdoms would threaten the interests of Qi. In addition, the State of Qi defeated the State of Qin, and the Three Jin Dynasty did not invite him to be the chief of the longitudinal group, but chose Xiong Huai, the king of Chu. Tian Piyi, the king of Qi, took Tian Poppy and Kuang Zhang as generals and sent troops to attack Wei. Tian Biqi wanted to prove to the Sanjin that Qi was a big country in the East. Whoever provokes the Qi State will definitely pay the price of blood.
The three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei had to deal with Qi in the east and Qin in the west.
The soldiers of the Three Jin Dynasty fought against the Qin people in Xiuyu. The state of Qi sent troops to attack the state of Wei. Wei could not resist the attack of Qi, and constantly lost cities and land. The combined forces of Wei and Zhao fought a big battle with Qi in the land of Guanze, but they could not resist the competitive division of Qi. Wei and Zhao were defeated by Qi.
Seeing that the Three Jin Dynasty were defeated by the Qi State, the Qin Wangsi was demoralized and increased the blow to the Three Jins. In the first battle of Xiuyu, the Sanjin Dynasty was defeated and 82,000 were beheaded by the Qin people.
The Qin State went east and achieved such a great victory, and the whole Qin State was inspired.
The king of Qin set up a banquet in Xianyang Palace, and anyone above the centurion and those with special merits could participate in the palace banquet. Qin Wangsi was also in Xianyang Palace, rewarding meritorious soldiers. After three rounds of drinking, everyone drank quite happily. King Qin raised the wine bottle high and asked the generals: "Crusade against Korea, defeat the Three Jins, and behead 82,000." We were able to achieve such significant results. Ladies and gentlemen, who has the greatest credit? ”
The generals said in unison: "Your Majesty." ”
Qin Wangsi laughed and said, "The work of non-widows is the greatest. The widow felt that Qin Xiang Zhang Yi had the greatest merit. If it weren't for Zhang Yi's clever mouth, it was said that the Qi State attacked the Three Jins. Sanjin fell into the east-west war and was exhausted. Our country can win. Ladies and gentlemen, follow the widow to pay homage to Qin. ”
The generals said: "Respect Qin Xiang." ”
Zhang Yi held the wine bottle high and said to King Qin: "Thank you, your majesty." I wish that Daqin will be proud of the princes and dominate the world. ”
The generals greeted the King of Qin and said loudly: "I wish my Great Qin to be proud of the crowd and dominate the world." ”
"Good. The widow and you encourage him. Qin Wangsi drank all the wine in his hand. The generals were also drunk heartily.
Seeing that everyone was still standing, Qin Wangsi waved his hand and said, "You guys are standing and doing something, don't you drink the wine and food in front of you." ”
When the generals heard this, they burst into laughter and sat down one after another.
Zhang Yi poured a full glass of wine again and faced King Qin, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say." ”
Ying Si smiled: "Speak." ”
"Zhang Yi is a tongue and a snob. Defeating Han, defeating the Three Jins, and beheading 82,000 were the reasons why the generals worked together to use their lives. The king is not the most meritorious in his deeds. The ministers deserve it. Zhang Yi said: "Your Majesty, please allow the ministers to salute everyone." ”
"Zhang Yi, widows like snobs like you." King Qin said: "The widow agreed." ”
"Thank you, the king." Zhang Yi turned around and said to the generals: "The Qin State can have today, thanks to the efforts of the generals. Zhang Yi, I would like to give you a bottle. ”
"Xie Qinxiang."
After drinking, on the main hall of Xianyang Palace, the generals said in unison with solemn expressions: "How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!
How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!
How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”
"I wish Daqin to be proud of the crowd and dominate the world. The foundation of Daqin will be passed down to all generations and will never decay. Zhang Yi waved his arms and said, "God bless me Great Qin, God bless King Qin." ”
The generals also made a heart-wrenching voice, "God bless Great Qin, God bless King Qin." ”
"The widow and the king encourage each other." King Qin said: "Everyone, today the widow and you drink bitterly, and you will not return if you are not drunk. ”
This banquet was drunk from sunset to dawn, and everyone returned happy.
Another five days passed. The neighboring states to the south of Qin, Shu and Ba were in contention.
Qin Wangsi is also fighting the idea of these two countries. However, the two countries of Bashu sent envoys to ask for help from Qin, which gave Qin Wangsi a chance to send troops in the name of justice. The envoys of Bashu came to Qin, and the king of Qin conveyed his meaning to the envoys of the two countries. After arranging the envoys of the two countries, the king of Qin summoned his ministers to the palace to discuss state affairs.
"The two countries of Bashu are fighting, and both countries have sent envoys to our country to ask for help. The widow is to save Ba or Shu. Qin Wangsi's gaze swept over the ministers and asked, "Zhang Yi, why didn't you come?" ”
Win Ji arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, Zhang Yi is overwhelmed by the strength of alcohol. At the moment, he was still drunk. ”
Zhang Yi is not good at drinking, everyone knows it. However, at the palace banquet, although Zhang Yi is not good at drinking, he can't help drinking. Qin Wangsi also said at the banquet, "Zhang Yi, if you don't drink, you won't give face to the widows and you." Zhang Yi saw that the king said this, so he could only drink hard.
"Hahaha." Qin Wangsi burst into laughter, "Qin Guonan, how can you have been drunk for three days." Zhang Yi drank alcohol and was drunk for five days, but he had not yet woken up. This wine... It's terrible. ”
Ying Jian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I'll go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to have a look." ”
"That's it, that's it." Qin Wangsi raised his sleeves lightly, "It's rare for Zhang Yi to have a good night's sleep with peace of mind." ”
"Minister, Zhang Yi pays a visit to the king." People are so good, Zhang Yi's voice came in.
Qin Wang Si smiled and said, "You see, the widow doesn't disturb his dreams. He himself came. ”
Zhang Yi walked in from outside the hall, and every step he took, his steps were frivolous, which would always cause the ministers to laugh. Qin Wangsi also smiled happily and asked, "Zhang Yi, are you here to be funny?" I can't even walk the road. Do you want someone to help you? ”
When the ministers heard this, after laughing for a while, they all said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to go." ”
"Go, go, go." Zhang Yi waved his hand to stop: "I'm a seven-foot man, why should you help me when I walk." This is the most popular drunken step in Qin, so you won't be able to wait. How can you make fun of me? ”
"Hahahaha." Qin Wangsi smiled again: "Zhang Yi, the widow likes you to talk nonsense seriously. ”
"Wang..."Before Zhang Yi could say the next word, the person fell to the ground.
Qin Wangsi smiled and said, "Zhang Yi, you don't have to be so polite to the widow!" ”
When the ministers heard this, they burst into laughter again.
Ying Ji stepped forward and asked, "Zhang Xiang, are you okay?" ”
"It's fine." Zhang Yi got up from the ground, "Your Majesty, the minister's drunken steps have not yet been practiced, and they are rude." Zhang Yi fell, and the pain made him sober up a lot. Zhang Yi stood up, didn't pat the dust off his body, and said to everyone: "Laugh, you still laugh." ”
The ministers smiled even more happily when they saw Zhang Yi's expression.
"You... You... And you" Zhang Yi pointed to a few people beside him: "Make fun of Qin Xiang, you are guilty." ”
"Qin Xiang, please let me slow down." When the man saw Zhang Yi's face, he was not afraid at all, holding his stomach and laughing.
"You're still laughing." Zhang Yi glared at him, "You smile the most." ”
Qin Wangsi smiled and said, "The widow thinks that you are sleeping in the wine and can't wake up." ”
"The king made fun of it." Zhang Yi arched his hand and said: "Zhang Yi can't drink, is it a woman?" Not really. ”
Ying Ji smiled: "Zhang Xiang." How can a man say that he can't do it. ”
Ying Si also teased: "That's right! Zhang Yi, you can't. Do you want someone to help you? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister admits defeat." Zhang Yi said very aggrievedly: "Let's talk about business!" ”
"Zhang Yi brings joy to us. Ladies and gentlemen, your laughter is exaggerated. Qin Wangsi held back his breath, but still laughed, "Convergence, convergence." ”
Yingsi finally had the opportunity to tease Zhang Yi, how could she let it go easily. Looking at Zhang Yi's face, she couldn't hold back her laughter again. Zhang Yi suddenly became the focus of ridicule by the ministers. Zhang Yi was not annoyed, nor did he speak, shrugged his shoulders, and quietly waited for the laughter of the ministers.
Ying Ji said: "Your Majesty, everyone is together, we should talk about business." ”
"Okay." As soon as King Qin spoke, Xianyang Palace returned to calm, "The two countries of Bashu are at war, and the two countries have sent envoys to our country to ask for help. Guys, what do you think? ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the two countries of Bashu are at war, and we can't send troops to help Bashu." Zhang Yi took the lead and said: "My country's national policy is to go east to Hangu, cut down South Korea, go down to Sanchuan, peep into the Zhou room, and win Jiuding, in order to fight for the world." Don't change the national policy because of the land of Bashu. ”
Ying Jian pondered for a moment, "We attack Korea. Zhao and Wei sent troops to help. Although our country killed 82,000 of the Sanjin coalition army, our damage was also very serious. We went to attack Korea again, and Wei and Zhao sent troops to help again. If Qi and Chu also sent troops to rescue. We will be enemies of the princes of the Central Plains, and we will not be able to achieve results in defeating Han. The minister thought that we should not confront the princes of the Central Plains. Instead, they seized the land of Rongdi to the west and swept away the remnants of Yiqu. While recuperating, recuperating, waiting for time. ”
"Today's three jins are not the three jins of the past." Zhang Yi waved his sleeves and said: "The power of the Three Jin Dynasty is not enough to protect itself, how dare you compete with my Qin State." In the first battle of Xiuyu, the prestige of the Qin State spread all over the princes. The Three Jin Dynasty were very jealous of my Qin State. The State of Qi and the State of Chu also didn't want the Three Jin Dynasty to come together. With Yu Wei, we attacked South Korea. It was we who went east out of the Han Valley, attacked Korea, went down to Sanchuan, peeped into the Zhou room, and captured Jiuding. How can you miss the opportunity to establish the hegemony of Wang Tu. ”
Qin Wangsi asked: "Zhang Yi, do you mean that the dispute between Bashu and Shu is over." ”
"The land of Bashu is inconvenient for transportation, and it cannot be managed." Zhang Yi said: "The minister thinks that the land of Bashu is not good." What we have to do is to step up the blow to South Korea. If South Korea has a respite, it will vigorously change. South Korea is so sharp with weapons, and I am afraid it will not be so easy for us to attack it by then. ”
"Your Majesty, the last general will not approve of Zhang Xiang's statement." In the main hall, a man in a military uniform came out and said: "Bashu is not a wild place. It is true that the road into Shu is rugged, but the land of Shu is flat and the fertile soil is thousands of miles. If our Qin State obtains it, it can not only expand the people, but also enrich the territory. In the end, the general thought that by seizing the land of Bashu, we would have the capital to compete with the princes of the Central Plains. ”
Zhang Yi threw a fluttering look, "Who are you?" ”
The man arched his hand and said, "The last general is Sima Mistake." ”
"Sima is wrong, the widow remembers you." Ying Si nodded, and said in a raised voice: "Han Zhao, Wei, Chu Yan, and the five kingdoms attacked my Hangu Pass, and you led a lone army to go deeper, raid the grain and grass of the Chu State, and cut off the grain road of the Chu State. The withdrawal of the Chu State also has your credit. In the battle of Xiuyu, you also moved forward bravely, killed countless enemies, and made great achievements for my Great Qin. In the case of Bashu today, Sima's wrong words are not unreasonable. The Qin State is comparable to Han Yan, but it is not comparable to the four kingdoms of Wei, Zhao, Qi, and Chu. The Qin State could not go east to fight for the world. This is due to the topography. In the land of Bashu, the territory of the widows is comparable to that of the Three Jin Dynasty and the Kingdom of Qi. The widow fights for the world, and then there is capital. ”
"The king's words are very true." Sima Cuo echoed: "Today, Bashu is at war, and the people are struggling to make a living. In the name of quelling the rebellion, we have seized their land in order to enrich our territory. The land of Bashu can be filled with its people, expand its territory, and can also become a place for our country to produce food, and it can also provide a steady stream of troops for our country to fight for the world. Once there is a change in the world, how can our country not win Jiuding and dominate the world. ”
"I really can't agree with Sima's wrong words." Zhang Yi said with a displeased face: "It is my country's national policy to send a letter to the valley to fight for the world. It also intensified my big Qin boy to move forward bravely. We have thwarted the Sanjin, and the peak of the army is in its prime, and it is the best time to attack South Korea to achieve hegemony. At this time, sending troops to Bashu will make our forces weak and scattered. Moreover, Bashu is a remote and wild place. The roads are rough and the traffic is jammed. What our country has gained, but it is of little real use. Rescuing Bashu is neither nameless nor profitable, and will only consume our country's national strength. It doesn't make much sense to take Bashu. If we use the troops of the chaos of Bashu in the east, go straight to the Zhou room, and get Jiuding, we will achieve the great achievements of our Qin State in one battle. ”
Sima was wrong and pure, and he said whatever he wanted, and retorted: "The last general thinks that attacking Bashu is beneficial to the Qin State. First, the capture of Bashu will not cause great repercussions among the princes of the Central Plains. The princes of the Central Plains will not send troops to intervene either. Cut Korea to peek into the Zhou room. Seeing this, the princes of the Central Plains will definitely not choose to sit idly by, they will definitely send troops to aid South Korea, and they will also use various methods to restrain our country's actions. Not only will our country not be able to get the desired results, but it will make enemies against the princes of the world. ”
"Second, the country of Bashu is not a wild place. Especially in Shu, the fertile soil of Shu is thousands of miles, which can provide troops and grain and grass for our country. Now Bashu is fighting each other, and sending envoys to ask for help from our Qin State. This is a godsend. If I don't take it, Chu will also have a plan. ”
Third, Bashu has a wide area, rich resources and a sparse population. The management of the two countries is chaotic, and the strength of the two countries is weak. If we send 30,000 soldiers on an expedition, we will be able to seize its land and its people. ”
"The land of Bashu, high mountains and dangerous obstacles, surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Its folk customs are uncivilized, and the people are aggressive. Our country has gained it, but it cannot be effectively managed and controlled. Pakistan and Chu have been fighting for hundreds of years, and Chu cannot try to. Now, my 30,000 people can also get the land of Bashu. General Sima Cuo, your idea is too optimistic. ”
"The state of Chu can't Tubashu, which is blocked by mountains and rivers. The Qin State has Bashu, and if it occupies a favorable location, you can get a glimpse of Chu. Sima Cuo continued: "He fought for hegemony in Qin and Chu every day, and sent powerful people to lead the people of Bashu to cross the river by boat and take Chu directly. The last general thought that Debashu would be able to peek at Chu, and if Chu died, the world would be decided. ”
"Okay." Qin Wangsi took the case, "If you get Bashu, you will get Chu, and if Chu dies, the world will be decided." If the widow wants to achieve the foundation of the world, Bashu must take it. ”
"Your Majesty." Zhang Yi insisted on his own point of view, "The minister advocates attacking South Korea and peeking into the Zhou room." ”
"Zhang Yi! The widow takes Bashu and will not be interfered with by the princes of the Central Plains. Nor will it be called brutal. Qin Wang Si said: "The land of Qin is narrow and the people are poor, and the competition with the princes will always be dwarfed. If you get the land of Bashu, you can occupy its land, and expand my territory according to its people. We can look at Chu, peep at Chu, and destroy Chu. It can also compete with the princes of the Central Plains for the world. Whether the widow's decision is correct or not, let time tell. ”
Zhang Yi arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, your mind has been decided." The minister had nothing to say. ”
Qin Wangsi said: "Sima Cuo, you advocate Bashu to look at Chu." The matter of Bashu is handed over to you by the widow. ”
Sima Coo arched his hand and said, "No." ”
