Chapter Eighty-Nine: Vertical and Horizontal (2)
In the temporary palace of Dong'e, King Qi Wei took the throne, and King Wei Hui and King Han Xuan each sat in the second place, and it seemed that the guests and hosts were blended and quite harmonious.
But Gongsun Yan looked at the high King Qi Wei, but he was thoughtful.
He was a native of Wei and served as an official in Qin, but because of Zhang Yi's words, he had to leave Qin and return to Wei as an official.
Since his return, he has strongly advocated joining forces with the countries of the Three Jin Dynasty to jointly resist the three most powerful countries of Qin, Chu and Qi. Because the three Jin kingdoms are too weak, if they don't unite together, they will be slowly swallowed up sooner or later.
This summoning of the King of Han and the King of Qi was the opinion of Xiangguo Huishi. Just a month ago, Ying Si was officially proclaimed king, which made him feel afraid, so he instigated the king of Wei to come to the state of Qi and send the prince of Wei to the state of Qi as a hostage, so as to achieve the principle of uniting the state of Qi to resist Qin.
And this old guy is still talking with the King of Qi now, and he has slapped all the sycophants of the Qi State, and he is almost openly proclaimed!
How ridiculous! Didn't this old guy see King Wei's hand getting tighter and tighter?
Gongsun Yan took the dancing girl in the court as a cover, cautiously leaned towards the King of Wei, clenched the King of Wei's fists, and said: "Hui Shi's villain who betrayed the country, the king needs to remember today's shame!" ”
King Wei Hui was already in his seventies, and his thin body supported the anger and helplessness, and said leisurely: "But ...... If this is not done, the Qin State will attack Wei more frequently, and my country may be worried about the loss of the country! ”
Gongsun Yan sneered: "The king cut the land yesterday to deal with the Qin State, and today he sent his sons to the Qi State, and the ministers of Qin to Qi, so repeatedly, what is the difference?" ”
King Wei blushed and did not speak; Since the Battle of Maling, the strength of the Wei State has been greatly reduced, and it has long lost its former prestige. Now that he is seeking refuge everywhere, King Wei Hui himself feels that he has lost Wei Wenhou's face.
"King Wei, why don't you drink?"
A civil official sitting next to the King of Qi spoke, he was not Zou Ji, but Guotian Ying, another minister of the Qi State; His eyes were empty, his nose was high, and he seemed to be more arrogant than King Qi.
King Wei couldn't help but bow his hand and said: "This king is over seventy years old, and he is not good at drinking, so he can only measure his strength." ”
Tian Ying said with a smile: "King Wei said this, but he doesn't have face with King Qi, I'm afraid that this joint matter, King Qi will have to think about it more......"
King Qi Wei laughed and said, "King Wei doesn't have to be formal, please drink quickly!" ”
Hui Shi, who was standing in front of the palace, turned his head and saluted the King of Wei and said, "King, since the King of Qi has given face, please ask the King to drink again!" ”
"Lonely ......"
King Wei's face was blue and purple alternately, he was already in his seventies, and he was still forced to drink like this, and he couldn't have any complaints.
Alas, that's it, under the fence, how can anyone not bow their heads?
looked at King Wei who slowly raised his cup, and King Han on the other side also looked ugly; You must know that it was the idea of Wei to unite with Qi State, and now Wei State is so under the fence, then he is the weakest country in the Three Jin Dynasty...... And how?
Just when the King of Wei wanted to drink, Gongsun Yan suddenly stood up, took the wine cup of the King of Wei and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi, the King of Wei is really invincible, and the King of Wei will drink in the next generation, please don't blame His Royal Highness the King of Qi!" Then he drank all the wine in the cup.
The smiles of King Qi and Tian Ying gradually converged, but it was not easy to say anything; It is the duty of the courtiers to drink on behalf of the king, and they originally wanted to use this to suppress the Wei State, but they had to give up for the time being.
Hui Shi looked at Gongsun Yan dissatisfied, as if he was blaming him for his troubles.
The atmosphere of the banquet suddenly became delicate, and even the singing and dancing seemed to be much more boring, until a burst of announcements came into the courtroom, breaking the embarrassment.
When the voice came, King Qi Wei's expression instantly became solemn, he rebuked the song and dance, and asked the visitor: "What is the important thing to report?" ”
"Your Majesty, there is a person named Su Qin outside the door, saying that there is a book of Yan Jun and Zhao Jun presented!"
"Su Qin?"
King Qi and Tian Ying looked at each other, neither of them knew this person; Tian Ying said: "Although he is a nobody, since he has a national certificate, the king still has to see it." It just so happens that the King of Han and the King of Wei are here, if it is the book of the ministers of the two kingdoms, it is just right to raise the prestige of our country! ”
"Good!"
The soldier received the edict of the king of Qi and slowly descended, but the king of Wei asked Gongsun Yan again: "I have never heard of this person under Zhao Jun, do you know him?" ”
Gongsun Yan thought for a while, and then said: "This Su Qin, your subordinates still know each other. It is said that this person is a native of Luoyang, young and unlearned, and then worshiped Guiguzi as a teacher, first worshiped the king of Zhou, and the king of Zhou did not like it; Worship Qin Jun again, Qin Jun doesn't like it; Worship Zhao Hou again, Zhao Hou also disliked. When I arrived in Yan Kingdom, I waited for a year to see Yan Jun, which shows that this person does not have too many outstanding features. ”
While he was talking, Su Qin and Zhaoyun had already slowly ascended the hall. The two saluted the three kings according to their main order, and Su Qin said first: "The three kings, under Su Qin, there is the book of Yan Zhao to offer, and there is another strategy to destroy Qin!" ”
"Bring it in."
The king of Qi did not give the king of Han and the king of Wei a chance to speak, and directly asked people to present the national letter. Although the two kings were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to say anything.
Gongsun Yan's eyes narrowed as he looked at Su Qin, as if he was more interested in his strategy to destroy Qin.
After King Qi read the national letters of the two kingdoms, he watched them with the two kings of Han and Wei, and said slowly: "It is said in the national letter that you intend to unite with the eastern countries to jointly discuss Qin, which is your strategy to destroy Qin?" ”
Tian Ying sneered: "It's just a combination of strategies, how clever is it?" Moreover, with just the Qin State, my Great Qi warriors can also be destroyed in one fell swoop, why spend such a mind and be in the company of those second-rate countries? ”
King Han and King Wei really want to talk about MMP, why have they become second-rate countries? This guy is too arrogant!
Su Qin bowed again and said with a smile: "What Your Excellency said is false, as far as I know, the Wei State is vast and prosperous, and it can be compared to Qin Chu; South Korea, the land of the four wars, is quite good at smelting troops, which is unmatched by other countries. Although the Qi State has an army of tens of millions, it is only five or five points in the confrontation with the Qin State, and the victory is only a narrow victory. ”
"If Korea provides weapons, Wei provides military rations and money, Yan Zhao and Yi war carriages, and the male soldiers of Qi can also be proud of the world! The Qin State was originally a weak country, but it was defeated in the Central Plains several times but never perished, and its national strength was extraordinary. The king is fighting alone, which is what the Qin State is willing to see! ”
"Today, the Qin State has a strategy of succession, intending to split the Shandong States in order to strengthen the Qin State. Han and Wei are the most adjacent, if the ministers are in Qin, the Qin people order to cut the city, if they don't cut, there will be the harm of swords, and there is no other country to help; Cutting, the Qin State will become more intensified, and there will be a place for Han Wei in the world? ”
"If the countries do not seek to become one, the soldiers of the Qin State will be divided into two routes, first take Han Wei, get the fertile land, go down the river, and the country will be in danger on all sides, how can the army fight alone is the opponent of the Qin State? At that time, the Qin State will divide the east and west, and divide the north and the south, and I am afraid that it will become the cause of the emperor! ”
Tian Ying's face was bruised when he was said, and he ate the evil fruit for his arrogance; And Hui Shi, who was standing in the hall, said: "Otherwise, although the countries are allied, it is difficult to become one, and the so-called unity of the six countries is a joke!" The national strength of the Qi State is strong, and only by attaching to it can the eastward direction of the Qin State be contained! ”
Su Qin glanced at Hui Shi and said coldly, "This must be Keiko, right?" I dare to ask each other, what is the difference between the ministers of Qi and Qin, and the ministers of Qin and Chu? After all, King Wei is just a chess piece, and it is difficult to become a king! Rao is so, it is better to go to the king to surrender to the enemy country, and when the time comes, Xiangguo will be the first hero! ”
"You ......"
Su Qin scolded Hui Shi viciously, where did he think that this was the originator of a famous family with Zhuangzi?
Hui Shi has a high reputation in various countries, and is also the main organizer of the United Alliance; However, he advocated an alliance of Wei, Qi, and Chu, and the national strength of Wei was far inferior to these two countries.
It seems that only by submitting to other countries can the Wei state be preserved.
Hui Shi was deflated in the hall, and Gongsun Yan was very cool, but Su Qin's theory of integration and longitudinal was also different from Gongsun Yan's. Gongsun Yan advocated an alliance of small states to resist the great powers, somewhat similar to the Holy Roman Empire in medieval Europe, consisting of many small principalities and free cities against the powerful Ottoman Empire and the French Empire.
Because in his eyes, the strong country cannot be trusted, after all, they regard the weak country as their own subordinate, and only an alliance of countries with equal strength can jointly fight against the three great powers of Qin, Chu and Qi.
This kind of thinking also directly contributed to his later instigation of the King of Wei to convene the five kingdoms, but in the end he also failed completely because of the suppression of the three great powers.
Although he had a great opinion with Hui Shi, in the face of the same enemy, he still came out to ask for advice: "Since you proposed that the Six Kingdoms join forces to suppress the Qin State, then I want to ask, who will be the leader of this alliance?" Is it Yan Jun, or Zhao Jun? ”
Gongsun Yan is obviously making things difficult for Su Qin, because these two people are not even kings, and they are still kings, is it possible that you still want them to be the leaders of the alliance?
Even the three kings all showed a hint of ridicule.
Unexpectedly, Su Qin straightened his chest, and said arrogantly: "Your Excellency is too worried, since it is a joint alliance promoted by the subordinates, the position of the leader of this alliance is naturally coordinated by the subordinates!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the whole house was shocked.
