PS: There is only one big chapter left today

"Although Wei's territory is small, it also has twenty counties, dense cities and farms, and a large population of hundreds of thousands. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Carriages and horses galloped, three armies in vain, and the military strength was equivalent to a country of a thousand times, which was enough to compete with Zhao Wuxian. It's a pity that the Wei clan has been watching the Zhao clan's face and acting since the Houma Alliance, and has been assigned by the so-called monarch's order, and I am privately ashamed of the Wei clan. ”

Chen Heng was called a mediator in this peace talk, but in fact, from the very beginning, it became a speech in which he tried his best to persuade Qin and Wei to join the group.

"However, Wei is willing to live under Zhao Wuxian, can he stop his ambition? I'm afraid that I can't, because of the topography, the east of the river is connected to the party, the west is connected to the big river, the south is outside the river, and the north is blocked by Taiyuan, which can be described as the land of rivers and mountains in the surface. Now that there are only three Qings left in the Jin Kingdom, the relationship between Zhao and Wei and Han is like a person with a heart disease, if it is not for the balance of power of the three families, it is the Zhao family that dominates and annexes Wei and Han. The Zhao clan has surrounded the Wei clan from within the Jin Kingdom, and does not want to seize this piece of rivers and mountains all the time and assassinate Wei Qing, it is precisely out of this intention that after that, Zhao Wuxian took advantage of the Wei clan's mourning period, sent troops into Hedong, and began to receive the Wei clan's territory in the name of relief? ”

Chen Chengzi, who successfully laid the foundation of the Chen dynasty in history, even though he has been suppressed by Zhao Wuxian in this life, he is already thirty years old enough to serve as the pillar of the family. As a long-term opponent, Chen Heng knew Zhao Wuxian very well, and this time, he was right.

Seeing that Wei Ju nodded in agreement, he continued to persuade him: "There are only two choices in front of Ziteng now, one of which is to forget the revenge of killing his father and bow to Zhao Wuxian, but from the lessons of Wei, Ju, and Di, it can be seen that once the Wei family shows weakness, Zhao Wuxian will inevitably become more aggressive, the land is limited, Zhao Qing's desire is unlimited, the Wei family is not far from the day of destruction, and the son can only be a puppet with no power and no status in the end, willing?" ”

Wei Ju was of course unwilling, but the danger of resisting the Zhao family seemed to be greater, and the two choices were very difficult.

Chen Heng had already changed his goal and said to Pu, the eldest son of the Qin State's eldest son: "And in this way, it will lead to serious consequences, and Zhao Wuxian will definitely tirelessly turn the Wei Clan's territory into his own county in the name of the Marquis of Jin." Then it will take the east of the river as a base and expand in all directions. The Zhao clan cut off the road, and the Han clan was cut into two pieces and sent by him; The Zhao clan captured Mengjin, and the Son of Heaven also had to act according to his heart; Coupled with the Weiguo, Lu, and Song states that were already vassalized with Zhao, the Zhao clan could establish hegemony in the Central Plains at any time, and after that, they would definitely send troops to attack the Qin state. ”

"If you can get Hexi, across the big river, the Qin State is not afraid of the Zhao family." Zipu is not to be outdone.

Chen Heng shook his head and said: "The reason why the Zhao clan did not dare to send troops to attack the Qin State directly was because the Wei clan was in the middle, and the Wei clan could be regarded as the barrier to the east of the Qin State. The Zhao family can gradually encroach on Qin land like silkworms eating mulberry leaves, until it approaches Yongdu, which is also the reason why the kid is worried about the eldest concubine. ”

However, even if Chen Heng had a lotus tongue, he couldn't ignore the reason for Qin Wei's engagement: Hexi.

Zipu was unmoved, and looked at Wei Ju's face again, still without a smile at all.

"Since the time of Mu Gong, Hexi has belonged to the Qin State, and those who deny this are the enemies of Qin."

The stubbornness and stubbornness of the Qin people can be seen.

Chen Heng felt a deep headache, arched his hand to Zipu, looked at Wei Ju again, and said, "I have a way to make Qin and Wei win." ”

After the snowfall, the Qin people's plan to capture Hexi fell through, and Zipu had to go back anyway, so he simply let Chen Heng play to see how far he could go.

And the Wei clan was in a dilemma, Hexi was persecuted by the Qin people, and Hedong was persecuted by the Zhao clan, and there was nothing to be done for a while, in fact, they could only count on Chen Heng to persuade the Qin people to retreat, so that they could take a breath.

Therefore, Zipu and Wei Ju both needed Chen Heng's mediation, so they looked at Chen Heng together and asked him: "Then what is Chen Zi's clever plan to solve this dead knot?" ”

Chen Heng chose the best time to intervene, because of the size of the Qi State and the allies or quasi-allies that both Qin and Wei had made, they were given the right to make heavier suggestions.

Chen Heng knew that success or failure was in this move, he took a deep breath and said: "The Wei clan took Hexi and Hedong to enter Qin, and as the secretary of Qin, they can win both!" ”

……

"Wei State...... Get out of the Jin and enter the Qin ......"

Wei Ju's eyes widened, shocked by this crazy idea, but Zipu's face became amused.

Chen Heng took the initiative to ask: "The Wei clan has offended the Qin State a lot, I don't know if the Qin State is willing to accept it." ”

But after seeing Zipu pondering for a moment, he turned his cold face into a smile: "Speaking of which, the Wei family also has a relationship with Qin, more than a hundred years ago, in order to recruit back the scholars who had surrendered to Qin, the Jin State made Wei Shouyu pretend to be Wei Yi to betray Jin and join Qin, and the Jin people deliberately captured his wife and children, allowing Shouyu to escape alone. Shouyu fled to the Qin State, and proposed to sacrifice Wei Yi to Qin, and won the trust of the ancestor Qin Kanggong, so Wei Shouyu secretly contacted the Shihui, and finally fled back to the Jin State......"

"Every time I think about this, I regret very much, the Wei family has many talents, if Wei Shouyu can return to Qin, how can the Qin State fall behind in the confrontation with the Jin State? If Wei Qing is willing to take Hedong and Hexi to merge into the Qin State, the widow will definitely be overjoyed, just as Qin Mugong will get Yu and Baili Xi, and he will get Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, and he will be willing to wait for the seat of the left chief. ”

In the Qin State, Zuo Shuchang was equivalent to the deputy secretary of the Jin State, and this condition was much stronger than the treatment given to Zhiguo when the Qin State accepted the Zhi family.

The reason why Zipu was moved by Chen Heng's suggestion was because they had seen the combat effectiveness of Wei Wushu last time, such as today's princes have imitated Zhao's tactics and troops, among which Wei is at the forefront, if the Qin cavalry and Wei Wushu are together, they may be able to confront the elite of the Zhao clan.

What's more, in this way, Qin Mugong's wish to go east that has not been realized can be easily realized, and the Qin army can also reach the western foot of Taihang, and he is excited to think about it.

For this reason, he was even willing to make certain concessions to Wei.

"As for Hexi...... Wei could keep some of the cities along the river to communicate with the east of the river. ”

Wei Ju had already calmed down from the shock, and he pondered hard, calculating the stakes.

Chen Heng wasted no time in saying: "I privately consider the two secretaries, if they attack each other, they will lose both, and if they are peaceful, they will be able to avoid being broken by the Zhao clan." In my opinion, the matter of entering Qin can be discussed in the long run, and before that, it is better to put down the war and make Qin, Qi, Wei, and Zheng form an alliance with each other, and even the weak and the enemy are strong against the Zhao clan! ”

In Chen Heng's plan, from Shaohai to Xiqi, Qin, Qi, Zheng and Wei united horizontally in the east and west to jointly fight against the Zhao family, so it is called "Lian Heng"!

Following the siege of the Zhao clan of the Jin state and the state of Qi, this will be the beginning of the second anti-Zhao alliance.

But Wei Ju was not the one who was provoked by the so-called family feud and prospects, and after a battle between heaven and man, he chose to refuse.

……

"The Book of Zhou" has a saying: endless, what can the vines do? If you don't cut down, you will use an axe. This means that if you don't think it through beforehand, you will have great trouble later. Now I am thinking about nothing more than preserving the clan, so that the people can survive the famine and not be involved in a great war. The foundation of the stability of the people lies in the choice of diplomatic relations, and if the diplomatic relations are properly chosen, the people of the Wei clan will be stable; If the choice of diplomatic relations is not appropriate, the people of the Wei clan will be restless for life and die in the ravine. ”

Wei Ju was not confused, he knew that his decision would mean the fate of the Wei family, and once he agreed to defect to Jin and return to Qin, he would undoubtedly rekindle the war within the Jin Kingdom, a war that was bigger than the Liuqing Rebellion and spread to the entire world......

This is not something that the Wei clan can afford, even if the so-called "Lian Heng" succeeds in the end, it will only be Qin Qi who will benefit, and Wei's Hedong will only be in ruins under the fire of war by that time.

Since he would suffer a great loss no matter what, he would rather bow his head to the Zhao clan completely and completely, and only seek to preserve a corner of the Wei clan before the Liuqing Rebellion.

Taoyuan is rebellious, the Houma alliance is still there, Zhao Wuxian will not brazenly kill the Wei family, he still has a trace of illusion.

"Thank you Chen Zi for your mediation and the kindness of the eldest concubine, but the head of the Wei family is newly mourned, and the feathers have been broken, so you can't fly high, today's words, just as if Wei Ju didn't hear it."

Ignoring Zipu's gloomy and blackened face, he was about to turn the carriage around and return to Shaoliang, he finally mustered up the courage and planned to go back to Hedong and have a good talk with Zhao Wuxian......

"Ziteng stays!" Chen Heng had people drive after him, raising his hands high to show that he had no hostility.

"I still have a few confidential words to say to Ziteng, can you let me pedal?"

Chen Heng looked powerless, and he could not pose a threat to Wei Ju, who was tall and tall, and Wei Ju did not doubt him, nodded and asked Rong to go right and change Chen Heng to get into the car.

"So far, what do you have to say to me?"

"What I'm going to say is ......" Chen Heng pasted it, his face was very close, Wei Ju could even smell the salty sweat on his body, as well as heavy breathing, he suddenly felt bad, a spirit, and his fist slammed out.

But Chen Heng's movements were faster than he imagined, Wei Ju's fist was empty, and before he could draw his sword, a dagger was already against his neck.

Wei Ju was shocked, but saw that Chen Heng's previous appearance of a weak gentleman was nowhere to be found, he quickly changed his hands and feet to Wei Ju to prevent the Wei family's emperor from risking death to rescue, Chen Bao and Chen Zhuang also opened their bows and arrows, aiming at Rong You, who was desperate.

"Lay down your weapons, don't move!"

"I've got it!" Wei Ju shouted that he was fooled, and then looked at Chen Heng, but he smiled when he saw that he had succeeded: "Now, can Wei Qing order the Wei clan to abandon Jin and return to Qin?" ”

……

It was still sixty years ago, and there was a Luan Ying Rebellion in the Jin Kingdom that shocked the world: although the Luan family was exiled, the family power in the country still existed. Moreover, the Luan and Wei families are world friends, and the personal relationship between Luan Ying and Wei Shu is even closer. Therefore, Luan Ying risked returning to China for revenge with the help of Qi Zhuang Gong, on the one hand, he gathered his family henchmen, and on the other hand, he secretly contacted Wei Shu, and Wei Shu was willing to stick a knife in Luan's ribs, he readily agreed, and agreed to launch a mutiny together as an internal response.

However, on the day of the chaos, Wei Shu here had also gathered the family members and prepared to fight side by side with Luan Ying, but an uninvited guest came. Fan Ying went straight to Wei's house, and after deceiving the car, he suddenly showed his dagger and coerced Wei Shu, asking him to order the Wei army to defect, but Luan Ying, who was fighting alone, finally failed......

This is a history of indignation when the descendants of the Wei family mention it, but Wei Ju did not expect that this scene would be repeated in Hexi.

Hijacking, this is something Wei Ju didn't expect before, Chen Heng, who looks weak, is actually a master of swordsmanship. After kidnapping him, the soldiers prepared by the Wei clan were still a hundred steps away, and the Qin ambush soldiers had already poured out, and according to the agreement with Chen Heng "if the Wei clan did not obey, they would be coerced by force", and surrounded the three Wei clans.

The Wei people threw a rat into the trap, so Wei Ju was brought back to the Qin army camp, named as a guest, but he was actually a prisoner, and completely lost the bargaining capital.

Previously, Wei Ju shirked the plan of Chen Heng and the chief of the Qin State, but now he had to let people go back to Shaoliang to report the implementation.

The old master was assassinated, the new head of the family was abducted, and within a few days, the Wei army of Shaoliang and Wang Guan had no choice but to open the city gate and let the Qin people in.

Under Chen Heng's persuasion, Zipu was also sensible, and did not retaliate against the Wei clan for taking advantage of the Qin state to defeat and kill and injure a large number of Qin people. He knew that if the Qin State wanted to hold Hexi, or even continue to advance to Shangjun and Hedong, it would have to rely on the Wei clan and rely on these reliable Wei warriors.

As a result, Wei Ju was allowed to move freely in the tent of the Qin army, and during the negotiations, he also participated as one of the representatives of the three parties, and Zipu repeatedly apologized for his abduction and invited him to sit at the table.

Chen Heng has already designed the future for this alliance: "Qin, Qi, Zheng, and Wei gathered on the new Zheng Huanshui, communicated with each other about their old suspicions, swore a blood oath to kill the white horse, and agreed with each other. If the Zhao continued to persecute the Wei clan, then Qi Qin would contain the Zhao clan from the east and west, and Zheng Guo would cut off the Zhao clan from its allies. If the Zhao clan attacked Qi and Zheng, Qin Wei would also have to contain the Zhao army. We can also seek Yan, Zhongshan and others who are not convinced by the Zhao family, and then persuade the Chu State or the Wu State to join, and then gather the strength of the world to crusade against the Zhao family, then Zhao Wuxian will not dare to invade the princes from Jizhou......"

He said to Zipu Changbai: "Of course, the alliance leader still asks the chief to take responsibility for the time being. ”

The attitudes of Chu and Wu were undecided, and in order to compliment the Qin state, the Chen family let the Qin people contain the Zhao family, a fictitious alliance leader, and the position of "horizontal chief" would naturally not be reluctant, and Zipu did not dare to accept this position, so he shirked the name and gave the name to the young monarch of the Qin state.

Wei Ju, who was too careless and depressed after being kidnapped, and who had lost a lot of weight, would of course have no objections. It's a cold winter month, and there is no way to mobilize troops, even the Zhao clan is no exception. Chen Heng and Zipu urged him to quickly order the Wei army in Hedong to hold on to the city, and wait for the beginning of spring, when the Qin army will set foot in Hedong to help the Wei resist the Zhao clan.

"I will follow the example of the battle of rafting and send grain ships from the Qin State to relieve Hedong, and I can't let Zhao Wuxian focus on the beauty and collect the hearts of the people in Hedong." Zipu also ensured the supply of grain and grass.

"Everything is decided by the eldest chief...... Wei Ju's eyes have lost their brilliance, and he deeply feels that after issuing the order, he has become the sinner of the clan through the ages, and the Wei clan may be destroyed in his hands.

It wasn't until the day of the winter solstice that the news from Hedong lifted his spirits and made him laugh.

"Uncle and grandfather, he is really the main beam of the Wei family......"

First persuaded the people of Qin to take the risk of kidnapping Wei Ju if they disagreed, and then proposed "Lian Heng".

Chen Heng planned everything and interlocked, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Wei Ju's crazy and desperate order was very different from his usual cautious order, so the old Wei Xu stationed in Hedong thought it was a "chaotic fate", and he refused to carry it out.
