Chapter Eighty-Four: Wei's Strategy

In the mansion of Wei Xiang Hui Shi in Daliang, the capital of Wei State, Hui Shi was receiving a famous man who had come all the way from Qi State. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This celebrity who came from afar is named Chen Zhen. At this time, it has been three months since the Zhao and Song coalition forces and the Qi army confronted each other in Juye.

"What did Mr. want to do when he came to my Wei Kingdom after he became a prince of Qi State?" Hui Shi asked.

"I came to Wei this time, firstly, to understand the danger of Wei, and secondly, to revive the majesty of Wei!" Chen Zhen said generously.

Hui Shi couldn't help but laugh in his heart when he heard this person's tone be so loud. He has been in charge of the Wei government for many years, and of course he knows that now is the most dangerous moment for the Wei state.

Since Wei lost 80,000 elite soldiers in a war with Qin in Hexi, the western border of Wei has been completely opened to Qin. Hui Shi is now working hard every day, and he no longer expects Wei to be able to restore his hegemony in the world. He was satisfied that Wei was able to maintain the status of a great power in the world.

What ability does this person have to relieve the danger of Wei and revive the majesty of Wei?

"I don't know how Mr. wants to solve the crisis of my Wei country? How can Sir, revive the majesty of my Wei Kingdom? Hui Shi asked unceremoniously and directly, as long as this Chen Zhen is not worthy of his title of celebrity, Hui Shi will immediately blast this person out!

Chen Zhen heard Hui Shi's question, and he sat in the guest seat and changed his body to a more comfortable position, and said leisurely: "Let's first talk about the danger that Wei is currently facing. In the battle of Wei-Qin Hexi, the elite soldiers cultivated by Wei after spending many years of national strength were destroyed. If Wei wants to rise again in the future, it must rest now and recuperate in peace. After the warriors of Wei were re-cultivated, Wei's strength was restored, and Wei could compete with Qin again.

However, the Qin State was bullied and oppressed by the Wei State in history. Now that we finally encountered the defeat of Wei, Wei wants to suspend the army, I am afraid that Qin will not let Wei go so easily, I don't know if it is wrong to say it below? ”

When Hui Shi heard this person's analysis, he couldn't help but applaud: "What Mr. said is right, this is indeed the danger that my Wei State is currently facing. ”

Chen Zhen then said: "Although it is a little difficult for the Qin State to let the Wei State go now, it is not impossible to do it. The Qin State has always been regarded as a barbarian country by the countries of the Central Plains, and the world has been inferior to Qin for a long time. Now that the Qin State has won a great victory, the Qin people must be proud in their hearts. In my opinion, it is better to let Wei respect Qin Jun as the king, so as to recognize Qin's status as a great power. ”

When Hui Shi heard this suggestion, he said with a wry smile: "I, the prime minister of Wei and Qi, originally wanted to transfer the pressure faced by my Wei State to Qi State, but I didn't expect that Chu State and Zhao State attacked our country at the same time, and Qin State gave my country a heavy blow in the back, which made my Wei State fall into an even more dangerous situation now." How dare our country repeat the policy of the king? After the incident of King Wei Qixiang, it is time for the Qin State to see the end of claiming to be the king without authorization, how could the Qin State fall into such a trap? ”

Chen Zhen laughed when he heard Hui Shi's words, and then said: "It seems that Keiko is in the game, and he can't see the overall situation." Huizi has been advocating the strategy of respecting for a long time, so naturally he doesn't care much about the honor, but can the people of Qin not care? For many years, the Central Plains League of Nations has never invited the Qin State to participate, and the Qin State wants to be recognized by the people of the world, just like the land that has been in drought for a long time is looking forward to rain! In my opinion, the Qin State has long had the heart to be the king, and if Mr. sends an envoy to lobby, he will definitely hit the heart of Qin Jun, and he should be able to succeed in one fell swoop! However, because of the matter of King Wei Qi in front of him, even if the Qin State is willing to be the king, it is not enough to let the Qin State let the Wei State go.

In the following opinion, now that the Qin State has captured the Hexi land of the Wei State, it is better for the Wei State to cede the Hexi Land to the Qin State by pushing the boat, so that the Qin State can be justified and satisfied. In the future, after the strength of the Wei State is strong, it is not impossible to recover the land west of the river.

Now that the land west of the river has been conquered by the Qin state, the Qin state has not gained much benefit from recognizing this name. In this way, Wei still needs to do one thing to satisfy Qin, and that is marriage. As far as I know, now Qin Jun is newly established, although he has a wife, but he has not yet established a queen. Huizi might as well persuade the King of Wei to choose a princess with a good appearance from the Wei royal family to marry to the Qin State, so that after the marriage of Wei and Qin, Qin Jun was naturally happy.

If Wei and Qin marry, and Qin still refuses to let Wei go, then there is another strategy: Huizi Dake suggested that the King of Wei buy Qin Daliang to create Gongsun Yan with a lot of money. In my opinion, although Gongsun Yan helped Qin win the Battle of Hexi, in the final analysis, he was still a native of Wei, and he must have feelings for his mother state. Now that Wei has sent someone to contact him, this can be regarded as leaving a way back for Gongsun Yan, and Mr. Gongsun will not refuse Wei's good intentions.

If Wei can do this, I think Wei will definitely be able to free himself from the oppression of Qin, so that the danger of Wei will be solved. ”

After listening to Chen Zhen's strategy, Hui Shi exclaimed: "Mr. is really worthy of being a famous man of Qi country!" I will certainly persuade the King of Wei to make the best use of his husband's strategy! But now that my Wei State has lost all its elite troops and its strength is not good, dare to ask Mr. How can I revive my Wei State? ”

Chen Zhen pointed to the east and smiled without saying a word.

Hui Shi instantly understood what Chen Zhen meant: "Sir, are you saying that I should let the Wei State interfere in the war between the Zhao Song and the Qi State in the east?" I, the Wei State, are now in a period of weakness, how can I interfere? ”

Chen Zhen immediately explained: "I did not persuade Wei to send troops to intervene, but suggested that Wei should persuade the fight. ”

"Persuasion?" Hui Shi was puzzled.

"That's right, it's persuasion." Chen Zhen replied, "Although Wei has experienced several defeats in succession, Wei is a big country in the world after all, and the foundation of the hegemon back then is still there. Now Wei is under more pressure from Qin to the west, so he can't care about the war in the east. However, if the Qi State was allowed to obtain the Taoqiu, would the Wei State be able to feel at ease? I'm afraid that Wei has long had the intention of interfering in the war in the east, but it is only because of its lack of strength that it has not made a move, right? ”

Hui Shi did not defend Chen Zhen's words, which in Chen Zhen's view, was acquiescence.

"Now the Zhao and Song coalition forces are facing off against the Qi State in Juye, which is a huge loss to the three kingdoms. Now the strength of the Zhao and Song coalition forces and the Qi army is already clear to both sides. It is precisely because neither side is sure of victory that they are choosing the most stable confrontation of attrition. If Wei can persuade Zhao, Song, and Qi to withdraw their troops at this time, and everyone can negotiate to solve the problem, I think all three parties will agree. And if Wei successfully resolved this war, then all countries will inevitably respect Wei, so will Wei regain its strength? Chen Zhen said leisurely.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Hui Shi's face: "I heard that Mr. first learned the vertical and horizontal techniques of Guiguzi, and then learned the strategies of health preservation and self-protection from Yang Zi. If I listened to Mr.'s strategy, I would not only have quelled a big war, but also saved the life of my mother country, Song Guo, and Song Guo also owed me a favor, which also left a way back for my future. Presumably this is also a calculation of the gentleman, right? ”

Chen Zhen does not admit it, nor does he deny it.

When Hui Shi saw Chen Zhen like this, he sighed and said, "Hey, the future life is terrifying!" Today's world is really an era of talents! We old people will soon be outdated! ”

Hui Shi fully accepted Chen Zhen's suggestion, and for this talented Chen Zhen, Hui Shi also did not hesitate to recommend it to the King of Wei, so the King of Wei ordered Chen Zhen to be a special envoy, and asked him to go to Qin with a lot of money to meet Sun Yan, the great Liang of Qin. At the same time, let him fully implement his pro-Qin strategy.

After Wei was frightened by Qin, although the king of Wei had gritted his teeth and hated Qin, for the sake of the country, plus Hui Shi and the ministers of Wei agreed, he could only agree with Chen Zhen's comprehensive pro-Qin strategy.

As soon as Chen Zhen arrived in Qin, he told Qin about the conditions under which Wei was willing to cede the land west of the river. Subsequently, Chen Zhen suggested that Qin Jun be the king on behalf of the King of Wei, and Yingsi, as a young and vigorous monarch, has a great desire for the throne! He naturally accepted the proposal of the Wei State to respect the king, and thus the Qin State officially began to claim the throne!

After these two incidents, he also began to change his attitude towards Wei. Therefore, for the marriage proposed by Wei State, Ying Si agreed without hesitation!

In the Battle of Hexi, Gongsun Yan led the Qin army to defeat Wei and beheaded 80,000. This is the first big victory of Qin against Wei in more than 100 years since the rise of Wei! And this great victory not only allowed Qin to take all the land west of the river, but also made Qin occupy the initiative over Wei; It also made the Wei State willing to respect the Qin State as the king! This makes the old Qin people who are facing "the world humble Qin for a long time" extremely happy!

The state of Qin has finally become a powerful country that has attracted the attention of the whole world!

The Qin State has become so powerful, of course, it is because of the Shang Dynasty that the power of the law is laying the foundation. However, Gongsun Yan, the famous general who directly enabled Qin to win the war, also contributed a lot. With such military exploits, Gongsun Yan thus gained the title of "God of War" in the Qin State!

However, the people of Qin did not know that after winning a great victory, the "God of War" of Qin had now been bought by Wei's money! Chen Zhen lobbied Gongsun Yan, but he didn't spend too much tongue, he just told Shang Ying's experience and achieved his goal.

Back then, in order to let the Qin people see the effect of the reform, Shang Ying attacked the old school of Qin and won the first Qin-Wei war after the reform. Shang Ying did not hesitate to betray his friends and lure the prince of Wei to the front of the battle and capture him. The Wei army lost its commander, and the army was in turmoil. And Shang Ying took advantage of the chaos to attack, thus defeating Wei in one fell swoop!

However, Shang Ying was so enthusiastic about the cause of Qin's reform of the law, so loyal to Qin, what was the final result? As soon as Qin Xiaogong died, the new monarch of Qin arrested Shang Ying on the charge of rebellion. When Shang Ying wanted to run back to his home country, Wei, the entire Wei State did not accept it! Therefore, Shang Ying's final outcome can only be self-destruction and death from a car split!

He reminded himself all the time with the lessons of Shang Ying: don't offend your mother country too much, and always leave a way back for yourself!

Therefore, when Chen Zhen bribed Gongsun Yan with a large amount of money on behalf of the King of Wei, Gongsun Yan accepted it after only a little thought. With his current power, he is not short of wealth and wealth, and he accepted the money of the King of Wei just to reassure the King of Wei and leave a way back for himself.

After Gongsun Yan accepted the money from Wei, he immediately persuaded the King of Qin to adjust his strategy and not to expand eastward. At this time, the Qin State should focus on attacking the Yiqu in the west to stabilize the rear of the Qin State!

Under the strong prestige of Gongsun Yan, King Yingsi of Qin accepted this suggestion.

As a result, the powerful state of Qin began to fall into a period of silence.
