Chapter 005: Taihang is king
——
Chen Zhen also passed through the Chaoge City when he left the Qi State and entered the land of Qinchuan in Longxi in the past, but now this ancient capital of Yin Shang with 700 years is no longer the Chaoge he saw in his impression. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this moment, it was already night, Chen Zhen was surprised to find that Chaoge City did not have a curfew, and asked the accompanying servants, "When is it?" ”
"Mr. Hui's words, it is just 21:00 - 23:00." The attendant said.
Chen Zhen, who was strolling on Chaoge Long Street, saw a five-member night patrol team passing through the street, all with long swords hanging from their waists and wearing armor.
"Defending the country is really generous." Chen Zhen withdrew his gaze focused on this patrol team and sighed in his heart. Even the armor soldiers patrolling the neighborhood like this are wearing helmets and armor, all of which are fine armor, and the output of weapon forging for the defense of the country is really worthy of its name.
The instruments and swords of the patriotic country are now extremely famous in the world, and they are loved by the generals of the world.
Chen Zhen admired the scenery all the way, and after a while, he saw a patrol team passing through, even if it was the time, the city was brightly lit, lively, and there were still people coming and going on the long street, and the night market could be said to be the most surprising to Chen Zhen.
Chaoge's prosperity was far beyond his imagination, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that it had only taken ten years.
What puzzled him was that Weiguo was to use the doctrine of Legalism to govern the country, but it made Chen Zhen feel a trace of the true meaning of Confucian "division", and there was a difference.
Of course, there is a difference, under the governance of Wei Zheng, the social division of labor is clear, and Shinong and industry and commerce perform their duties.
Three days have passed since he came to Chaoge, and he asked himself about the three major powers of Qi, Qin, and Chu in the past 20 years, Chen Zhen was shocked to find that Chaoge was actually the owner of each of the three major powers today.
The richness of the Qi country, Chen Zhen is a native of the Qi country, and the understanding of the Qi country is naturally needless to say, since the Qi country has been in charge of Zhong Zhu Huan Gong and Kuang the world, the strength of the Qi country is because the pipe is prosperous, but the lack of food in the Qi country is a major drawback, and if there is a war, it is often impossible to fight a protracted war of attrition. Guan Zhong even created the Qinglou industry, but now it is carried forward in the Chaoge, and the Chaoge is also famous all over the world, and merchants from all over the world have admired it.
The Qin State is good at fighting, the Qin people are not afraid of death, Chen Zhen knows that this is Qin governing the country with the Legalist family, Qin has a military industry system, and Wei has a twenty-first meritorious lord system, and how similar is this to Qin? Wei Guo is even more than Qin State, and even merchants can get knights.
The country of Chu is vast and rich, the country of abundance, the people of Chu are comfortable, and the people of the country that Chen Zhen sees in front of him are also comfortable, but they are completely different.
"Chu people are comfortable, but they are drunk and dream of death; Defending the country and comfort, but respecting the people and the people, how can the two be compared? The country is in good trouble! Feeling the rushing song made Chen Zhen sigh in his heart.
……
Following.
Chen Zhen left the land of Yan Ying and entered Wei, but he was not busy visiting the lord of the country, but spent several days visiting the city of Chaoge, wanting to see the weather and geometry of the country under Wei Zheng's rule, and from it, he could also peek at the majesty of the lord of the country.
Palace, side hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Qin and Chu are at odds with each other, a great war is inevitable, and the disputes between the two countries are both battles for national fortunes in Qin and Chu......" Wei Zheng sat on the ground in the main seat with a red ink ridge suit, and not long ago summoned his important ministers and close ministers to the palace to discuss matters.
The rhino head Gongsun Yan, the right prime minister drama Xin, the strategist Su Dai, and the director of the hundred divisions Jingcang were all listed.
The four important ministers looked at Wei Zheng and stared at their flat hands with a smile: "The left hand is Qin, and the right hand is Chu...... The national strength is between the two and the middle, but Zhang Yi made a secret visit to Chaoge a few months ago...... Wei...... Hehe, how many people in the world can think that the battle to decide the fortunes of Qin and Chu is indeed determined by the will of the widow? ”
"Zhang Yi's secret visit to the country?" Gongsun Yan said in surprise, except for the drama Xin, the three of them were all surprised and inexplicable, and Zhang Yi obviously didn't know anything about Zhang Yi's secret entry into the court.
"Not bad!" Wei Zheng put down his hands and nodded slightly.
"Have you made up your mind?" Su Dai was surprised and asked. Wei Zheng did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "What do you think the country should do?" ”
Everyone was silent, all thoughtful, and after a while, the rhino head said eloquently: "Qin Prime Minister Zhang Yi deceived the Chu State by deceiving the Chu State by deceiving the business in six hundred miles, and the king was angry, and the whole country attacked Qin...... Chen Zhenxing borrowed the knife to kill people so that Qin was forced to fight with Han, and the state of Chu took advantage of the situation to cause Qin to fall into danger, but Zhang Zi's words and deeds, turned his hands into clouds, covered his hands for rain, and turned the tide between talking and laughing, and now the three Jin and Qin Zhige, Chu and Qi broke off the alliance and broke off diplomatic relations, which was originally a joint army of all countries to attack Qin, but it became today's Chu alone to fight Qin. ”
"As the king said, the national strength of Qin and Chu is not comparable, Chu is not the Three Jins, although Qin has cut off the wings of Chu and wants to fight with one of them, but he does not dare to support it, and the superior strategy should be to maneuver around the countries and work together to defeat Chu."
"The rhinoceros is right!" Wei Zheng nodded and said with a smile: "Zhang Zi's secret visit is precisely for this, the Qin State is not afraid of fighting with Chu with all its might, what is afraid is that the Chu State will attack Qin, and the only allies that the Chu State can pull at the moment are few people." ”
Gongsun Yan and others nodded slightly, but this is the case, and now the state of Chu first bullied the three Jin, and then broke off the alliance with the state of Qi, and even sent envoys into Linzi to scold, the two countries have since been in discord, although the state of Qi is a powerful country in the east, but it likes to do the benefits of no capital, and the current state of Qi is afraid that the two countries of Qin and Chu will fight to the death in order to take the opportunity to sit behind the back to reap the benefits.
For the state of Chu, the allies who can bring in allies to resist Qin at the moment are indeed only the hope of defending the country, and the country is a rising rookie, and now the national strength is only under Qin, Chu, and Qi, and it has become a small hegemon in the Central Plains, and it is not a problem to raise 100,000 troops.
The national strength of Zhao Guomu in the north of the Jin Yuan is even inferior to the Wei Guo that came later, and King Zhao Wuling is not stupid, Zhongshan State is as uncomfortable as a fish in the throat inside Zhao State, and there is a Qi State outside, the two countries have grievances, Zhao Yong helped Yan to resist Qi in the past Only three years have passed, and a Zhongshan State is enough for Zhao Yong to bear, in case a large army is sent to attack Qin, Zhongshan State takes advantage of the situation and even takes Qi State to take advantage of the fire to rob, Zhao State will not fall into a dangerous situation?
Qi Guo has a criminal record.
Zhao Guo can't count on it, and Yan Guo can't count on it, the sky and the earth are far away from the country of Yan.
It is no exaggeration to say that at present, only Wei Guo has the ability and strength to intervene in the dispute between the two countries and break the balance, because Wei Guo has no worries, Wei Guo and Qi are already interconnected with each other, and the urine nature of Qi is also a matter of wishing to defend the country and send troops, and Qi can weaken the three kingdoms of Qin, Chu and Wei without spending a single soldier, why not do it?
After Wei Zheng asked, he looked at you quietly, and Gongsun Yan said again: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Wei should help Qin, although Wei Guo is out of the matter, he is also in it, Qin and Chu's battle is a battle to determine the national fortune of a country, the loser may be in a slump, my Wei Jiangdong County is in the hinterland of Chu State, a strong Chu State is not good for my lord, you must not ignore it!" ”
"The minister seconded the proposal." Su Dai arched his hand and said: "What the rhino head said is extremely true, if the Chu State defeats Qin in this battle, it will be powerful in the world, or it can rise from this, and further seek Jiangdong." ”
"When it is weak——!" Ji Xin also said.
"You coincide with me." Wei Zheng smiled, and the military generals of Wenchen all agreed-weak Chu.
"Then how did the gentleman respond to Zhang Yi?" Gongsun Yan asked.
"The State of Qin promised to give me 50,000 horses to congratulate me on becoming king, on the condition that the country will not send troops to help Chu!" Wei Zheng said with a smile.
"King?" The four of them exclaimed in unison, the news came too suddenly, and the so-called 50,000 good horses sent by the Qin State were selectively ignored.
The matter of being the king is definitely not a simple matter of changing the royal system and changing the title, and being the king means fighting for hegemony! It also means that the defense of the country officially announced to the whole world that it has joined the great competition.
"Not bad——! Wei Zheng rose up in response, "Today's defense of the country does not need to be creeping and trembling, and it cannot continue to be a weak country and claim to be a weak country——! ”
