In Xianyang, the capital of Qin, a storm is condensing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After learning that Qin's expeditionary force was defeated and that the Qin army that had returned to Wei was less than 4,000 people, the king of Qin was always restless. Subsequently, he received the news that the remnants of the Qin army were disarmed by the Wei army in the Wei state.

Such news made King Qin Yingsi furious! Wei Guo's such inconsistent approach made him feel deceived!

He immediately found Daliang Zao Gongsun Yan and Wei's envoy in Qin, and asked Wei envoy in front of Gongsun Yan: "What does Wei mean now?" Thinking that I, the Qin State, had just experienced a small setback, I could be bullied at will? Tell you, as long as Wei dares to hurt one of our army, I will definitely make Wei pay a hundredfold price! ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and walked away, ignoring Gongsun Yan's face at all!

For such an embarrassing scene, Gongsun Yan has no choice. Later, in a private place, Gongsun Yan said to the envoy of Wei: "What Wei is doing now is really excessive. Yesterday it was still an ally, and our Qin State only suffered a small defeat, and the Wei State wanted to detain our army to blackmail our country, and this approach would inevitably not get good results. ”

The envoy replied, "Da Liangzao may not know that the King of Wei has been resentful of Qin for a long time. Originally, the king wanted to intercept and kill all the Qin troops who returned to the country, but thanks to Hui Xiang's persuasion, he left the Qin army alive and wanted to exchange some benefits from the Qin state. This approach is beneficial to both Qin and Wei, and I hope that Daliangzao will not disappoint King Wei! ”

Gongsun Yan was silent for a long time before replying: "Now that our army has failed in the Qi State, I don't know how effective my words can be against the King of Qin. I'm going to do my best to do something that is good for both countries. ”

When the angry King of Qin returned to the Qin Palace, he suddenly received the news that his younger brother Gongzi had come to ask for a meeting, and introduced a famous man to meet him. For the so-called "celebrities" of various countries, King Qin has seen a lot since he ascended the throne, and in his seriousness, most of the "celebrities" are not worthy of this title. He wanted to refuse, but when he thought of the current crisis in the Qin State, he actually agreed to the meeting.

The celebrity who was introduced was naturally Zhang Yi of Wei.

"Sir came to my Qin country, what do you want from my Qin country?" After sitting down, King Qin asked this Wei Hanshi unceremoniously.

Zhang Yi heard King Qin's unkind words, but he replied without any concern: "Zhang Yi, a snob." The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, the abundance of temples is for fame, and Zhang Yi is for fame and fortune. Naturally, I hope to gain fame and fortune in the Qin Kingdom! ”

When King Qin heard such arrogant words, his previous gloomy mood couldn't help but ease, and he couldn't help laughing, and then asked: "Sir calls himself a snob, and he boasts so much that he can reap fame and fortune in my Qin country. Then the widow also asked snobly: What can you bring to my Qin State? ”

Hearing this question, Zhang Yi said lightly: "I came to the Qin State, and I can help the Qin State serve the princes and dominate the world!" ”

"Can you explain more clearly, sir?" King Qin also asked lightly. The lofty goal of serving the princes and dominating the world came to his heart. However, he is not such a good white rabbit to deceive, and he can be fooled by others so easily.

So Zhang Yi said to the King of Qin: "I have heard that it is not wise to speak without knowing the reason for the matter; It is disloyal to understand the matter and to be able to give advice on how to solve it but not to open one's mouth. 'As a courtier, you should die if you are disloyal to the king; Damn if you don't speak prudently! Still, I am willing to tell the king all that I have seen, and ask him to judge the crime!

There are three kinds of situations in the world that have lost their country, and someone in the world will eventually come to clean up the mess, which may be the way of today's world! I have heard people say, 'If you attack a country of order with a kingdom of chaos, you will be defeated, if you attack a country of righteousness with a kingdom of wickedness, you will be defeated, and if you attack a kingdom that conforms to the way of heaven, you will be defeated.'" For the sake of the vassals of the princely states where the storehouses of the vassals were not full, and the storehouses of the rice and grain were empty, they conscripted all the people and raised millions of troops, and though they were in front with the blades and the axes behind, the soldiers retreated and fled, and could not fight the enemy to the death. In fact, it is not that their people are unwilling to fight to the death, but because the rulers cannot come up with good ways to educate. Rewards are not given, punishments are not enforced, so the people are unwilling to fight to the death for their country.

Now the Qin State has a clear order, rewards and punishments are clear, and rewards and punishments are carried out according to the actual situation. When everyone left the arms of their parents, they had never seen the enemy, so when they heard about the battle, they stomped their feet and bare their chests, determined to fight to the death, faced the enemy's swords and guns, and marched forward bravely, going to the soup and fire, and almost all of them were determined to die on the battlefield for their country! The king knew that a person's determination to die in battle was different from his determination to escape, but the people of Qin were still willing to fight to the death, and this was because of the importance of the spirit of fighting to the death. Once there is such a spirit, one person can defeat ten people, ten people can defeat a hundred, a hundred people can defeat a thousand, a thousand people can defeat ten thousand, and ten thousand people can defeat the whole world! Today, the topography of the Qin State has a radius of thousands of miles, and there are hundreds of thousands of powerful troops. And the orders and rewards and punishments of the Qin State, the steep and favorable terrain, the princes of the world are beyond the reach of the dust. With this kind of superior conditions, it is not enough for the Qin State to annex the whole world. From this, we can know that as long as the Qin State is absolutely invincible, invincible, invincible, and can open up thousands of miles of land, it will be a great feat!

However, today's Qin State is tired of the army, the people are poor, the savings are exhausted, the countryside is deserted, the warehouses are empty, the neighboring princes are unwilling to submit, and the hegemony cannot be established.

I would like to illustrate this with facts. Since the reign of King Wei Qi, all countries in the world have been fighting, which has brought a great opportunity to the Qin State. The Qin State took this opportunity to fight against Wei, swallowed the land west of the river, and drove away the people of Lin, so that it became a powerful country in the West in the world! The topography of Qin, there is Hangu Pass in the east, Dasan Pass in the west, Xiao Pass in the north, Wuguan Pass in the south, the key to the four passes, the fertile fields in the Guanzhong for thousands of miles, and no country in the world can occupy a more favorable terrain than Qin!

In the past, the Zhou Dynasty possessed the topography of the Qin State, rose in Weishui, and after two generations, it replaced the Shang Dynasty and possessed the world when it sent troops to the east! Now the king has a strategic situation at the beginning of the week, if he can get close to the Wei State, make good friends with the Chu State, send troops to Sanchuan, capture Xincheng and Yiyang, and the troops will be in the suburbs of the Second Zhou, and have the edition of the world, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and the princes will not disobey! If the king can use troops like this, it will be the foundation to dominate the world! However, the king mistakenly sent troops to the west to fight against Rong Di and the east to attack Qi, what good is such a military action for Qin? Now that the Qin State wantonly provoked the eastern powers, not only did not bring benefits to the Qin State, but also caused the Qin State army to lose its troops and be despised by the princes, isn't this the reason why the advisors are unwilling to be loyal? ”

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, King Qin was like a person who had been sleeping for a long time and was suddenly woken up! He walked up to Zhang Yi and said respectfully to him: "What Mr. said is good, my Qin State originally had the foundation to dominate the world, but it was made like this by the widows, which is not only the reason why the advisors are unwilling to be loyal, but also the sin of the widows. If Mr. is planning for my Qin State now, what will Mr. do? ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Although the Qin State has the defeat of Sanqiu now, the national strength has not been greatly lost. If the Qin State wants to truly establish a hegemony, there is no better way to adopt the strategy of continuous and horizontal! ”

"What's the strategy?" King Qin asked curiously.

"Those who are even crossed, one thing is strong to attack the weak!" Zhang Yi replied leisurely.
