Zhang Yi has now obtained the position of prime minister of Qin, and he has successfully instilled the strategy of Lianheng into Qin Jun's heart. At this time, the outlook suddenly became very bright. However, he was also faced with a practical problem, that is, how to relieve the urgent need of the Qin army in Michi.

Sure enough, Ying Si once again brought the topic back to the battle in Michi, and he asked Zhang Yi: "I discussed the grand strategy of Lianheng with Prime Minister Zhang just now, and the widow already knows a lot. It's just that at present, there are still 60,000 or 70,000 of the most elite troops in our army surrounded by the Combined Column Regiment, and how to rescue them is the most important thing. ”

Zhang Yi thought for a while, and replied to Ying Si: "Wechen has already considered a good plan for rescue, so don't worry too much about it. ”

Ying Si heard that Zhang Yi had a way, he was so excited that he sat up straight all of a sudden, and hurriedly asked: "What is Prime Minister Zhang's good plan, hurry up and tell the widow." ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Weichen's strategy comes from the strategy that Qin State is preparing to implement. Weichen believes that we can unite the Chu and Wei states in the alliance on a single line, and first make these two countries separate from Su and Qin, or even temporarily rebel, then the Qin army will have an opportunity. ”

When Ying Si heard this, he was even more excited, and he said: "In terms of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, the Qin army in Michi has been saved. That's really thankful, the widow can finally have the face to face the ancestors and ancestors. I want to hear about it! ”

Zhang Yi then analyzed for Yingsi: "The six countries are not monolithic, they each have their own interests and considerations, and we must always be soberly aware of this. As far as the Qin State is concerned, it is necessary to be level-headed, not to be provoked by the temporary situation of cooperation, so as to comprehensively oppose all the countries of the alliance without discrimination, and put themselves completely on their opposite side. ”

"The state of Qin must realize that the so-called merging vertical, the so-called lianheng, are all games of division and integration, in a specific situation, a country may be inclined to merge vertically, but after the situation changes, it may favor the lianheng, which is a natural phenomenon. If the Qin State can remain calm and sober, it will be able to discover the cracks in the joint vertical and start from the cracks, and only then can there be some gains. Don't get angry at every turn and seek revenge against a country of indulgence. ”

"The wise man said: because of its gaps, endure it. This is the fundamental attitude of the Qin State, and it must not be forgotten. In fact, this plan can be applied to those who have achieved great things in the world, but the wise are self-wise, and the fool is easy to be emotional, which is very different. ”

The meaning of Zhang Yi's words clearly pointed to the battle of Michi launched by the Qin State, and he believed that this was a big mistake made by Qin Jun and a big failure. Although Zhang Yi hesitated for a moment, he later decided to point it out directly, so as not to make another mistake next time.

He said: "Wechen believes that such a willful thing as the Battle of Michi should be vigorously avoided in the future. Launching a war is not a trivial matter, and it is impossible to achieve a good chance of victory, but to act in vain with feelings, which is extremely harmful. ”

Ying Si had already heard his rebuke from Zhang Yi's previous words, and his cheeks were slightly hot, and when Zhang Yi said it mercilessly, Ying Si was even more ashamed and blushing. Ying Si didn't blame Zhang Yi, because what Zhang Yi said was indeed reasonable, and the lessons that Ying Si had learned in the Battle of Michi were already quite profound.

Ying Si was still thinking about the Qin army in Michi, and he asked again: "According to Prime Minister Zhang, since the six countries are not as united as they seem on the outside, and there are cracks inside, what do you think is the cracks that we can use at the moment?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled, and he replied: "Jun Shang is a smart person, just a little bit." This is obviously Zhang Yi's words with flattery, and he can't ignore Ying Si's face, the previous words have made him very unable to get off the stage, this sentence is a compensatory compliment.

Zhang Yi only later said what he thought was a crack in the Six Kingdoms, and he said: "In this battle of Michi, the Six Kingdoms are determined to break Qin, which is an inevitable reaction for them to be jealous of Qin's growing strength and protect themselves in partnership. However, if the six countries achieve a complete victory in the Battle of Michi, then the countries that will benefit from it will certainly not be even. ”

Ying Si felt reasonable, nodded, and responded: "yes, why didn't I think of this layer? If the battle of Michichi is won, then of course the South Korea will benefit the most, and other countries may get benefits, but they are all in name, and the military prestige may be enhanced, and the morale of the military may be greatly boosted, but the actual benefits are not very many. Only Korea could take advantage of the victory to advance and take Hanguguan directly, and then occupy Ningqin and other areas of Qin. ”

Zhang Yi slapped his face excitedly and praised: "The gentleman knows more and more about the way of vertical and horizontal integration, this vertical and horizontal connection seems to be ordinary, but in fact, there is a deep mystery inside, the key is to see if you can use it skillfully and smartly." If it reaches the point of perfection, then the world will be controlled by me, the situation will be fully utilized by me, and the Qin State will be able to become an eternal overlord or a powerful country as the monarch expects. ”

Ying Si and Zhang Yi talked more and more speculatively, he also stood up excitedly, unconsciously paced in Zhang Yi's study, he clenched his fists, and said: "The widow hates that he has already heard Zhang Cheng's order, so that in recent years, he has been teased by Su Qin's co-indulgence one after another, which has made my Qin country stumbling, and the situation is very passive. ”

Ying Si nodded at Zhang Yi again and again, and said in appreciation: "Prime Minister Zhang Cheng can come to my Qin State and intend to settle in Xianyang, which is a gift from God to my Qin State. In the future, the widow will seek advice from Prime Minister Zhang Cheng from time to time, hoping that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng will know everything, so that the widow will continue to make progress. ”

Zhang Yi tilted his head and looked at Ying Si walking around, and found that he did have true feelings, those excitement, those excitement, it didn't seem to be pretending. Zhang Yi has always been worried that Qin Jun will win the elm's head, which is unreasonable, and his hard work to come to Qin State is in vain. At first, he really suffered a cold reception again, thanks to his persistence one step more, otherwise, I am afraid that he will no longer find room to display his talent.

In this troubled world, the reversal of people's fortunes is almost instantaneous. In front, Zhang Yi was still a down-and-out scholar, living in Xianyang, waiting for an opportunity. At this moment, there was a crisis in the Qin State where the Michi army was trapped, but Zhang Yi was suddenly pushed to the forefront, and became the prime minister of the Qin State in one day, and this reversal was almost earth-shaking.

Everyone says that persistence is very important, and if you don't persevere, you won't even have an opportunity; However, if you stick to it, there will definitely be a turnaround, will there be a good result? Who can tell a clear answer.

Seeing Ying Si's behavior, Zhang Yi felt that her future future in the Qin State was suddenly full of light, if his wife Yao Yue could see this scene, how happy and relieved she would be! However, as the Qin national ballad "Pu Jia" sings: "The so-called Yi people, on the water side, trace back to it, and the road is long and obstructive." ”
