Zhang Yi is facing a huge reversal of fate, with mixed tastes. I thought to myself, "What if there wasn't a battle for Michi?" What if you can't wait any longer and leave Xianyang? Even if the reversal is completed, what he has paid is heavy enough, and he is almost separated from his wife. Is this an inevitable end? ”

Zhang Yi saw Su Qin's family life in the past, and once secretly laughed at his bad luck, but when it came to him, he didn't expect it to be the same. Thinking of this, a faint sadness arose in his heart.

However, Qin Jun Yingsi heard hope and confidence from Zhang Yi's words, he was very happy, and the depressed mood that had been bothering him for several days was now truly swept away. However, although Zhang Yi instructed Yilian to break through the vertical and vertical and solve the problem of the Qin army in the Battle of Michi, it is still unknown how to do it.

Ying Si then asked Zhang Yi again: "The Qin army in Michi is in great danger, and I don't know when the strategy advocated by Prime Minister Zhang Cheng will be implemented." Can you hurry up and prevent the Qin army from being wiped out in Michi City? ”

Zhang Yi nodded and replied, "What the king said is indeed a problem. Wechen felt that without further ado, he should start implementing Lianheng immediately, otherwise, time would not wait for me, and the good strategy would also fall short due to lack of time. ”

Ying Si said: "I remember that Prime Minister Zhang Cheng said just now that the suitable targets of Qin State Lianheng are Chu State and Wei State, I don't know what Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is going to do, can he see the widow?" ”

Zhang Yi replied: "The four countries of Chu, Wei, Han, and Zhao all border with Qin, and they are connected to Qin, and they should all be the target countries of our Lianheng, but Zhao Yu, the monarch of Zhao, has already decided to fully support Hezong and let Su Qin organize the Hezong Alliance. ”

"As for South Korea, in the long run, we should not let it go and list it as a target. However, specifically in this battle of Michi, South Korea will not give up easily, after all, it was the Qin State that invaded the Korean border first, and the Qin army is still in South Korea's Miochi City, and South Korea will not withdraw from the alliance. ”

Ying Si stopped walking, he listened in fascination, and before he knew it, he sat down again. Zhang Yi then analyzed: "Chu and Wei were originally wavering countries, both of which once dominated in history, and their current monarchs still remember the old majesty and refuse to obey other countries casually. However, this is where we can take advantage of it. ”

"If the Hezong army wins a big victory at Michi, then Korea will immediately dominate for a while, which is also what Chu and Wei do not want to see. Because both countries have a long border with South Korea, they have a lot of disputes with each other. If a neighbor is strong, it will threaten itself, and they all understand this truth. It's just that no one has personally sought out the monarchs of these two countries and made this stake clear to them. ”

When Ying Si heard this, he felt that Zhang Yi's strategy was very reliable, especially his analysis of the mentality of Chu and Wei, which was simply a whip. These two countries had a lot of dealings with the Qin State, and their mentality was not to forget the prestige of the past, and they always wanted to prevent the threat of their neighbors.

Ying Si replied: "We should indeed make a fuss from the two countries of Chu and Wei. However, according to Prime Minister Zhang's view, what kind of people should we send to lobby Chu and Wei? ”

Zhang Yi thought for a while, he proposed his own strategy of connecting horizons, of course, he had to be alone, Zhang Yi chose Chu State as his lobbying object. From the bottom of his heart, he hated the country that had given him endless humiliation, and he wished to immediately trample it under his feet and humiliate it.

However, Zhang Yi restrained his impulse, and he could see from the situation of the armies of various countries on the battlefield of Michichi described by Zhu Lijian that the Chu army was the most priority to win over. If the Qin State and the Chu State succeeded in success, the Qin army on the Mianchi battlefield would benefit even more.

Zhang Yi thought of this, and he was determined to take on this heavy responsibility, and he could also use this to show Qin Jun Yingsi his strength, so that Yingsi would be more convinced of himself, and in the future, he would be able to implement the strategy of connecting and horizontal without hindrance. At the very least, there would be no opposition from the monarch, the supreme power, within the Qin state.

After Zhang Yi thought about it, he suggested to Ying Si: "Wechen has stayed in Chu for a period of time, and he knows the internal affairs of Chu very clearly, so Wechen is willing to go to Chu State in person to implement the policy of Lianheng. ”

However, the state of Chu is also currently in the alternation of the old and the new, the king of Chu, Xiong Shang, is terminally ill and can no longer preside over the state affairs, and the crown prince Mihuai intervenes in government affairs, but nominally he still does not dare to be too public. We only took advantage of the psychology of the prince of Chu who was eager to win over the powerful ministers of Chu State, gave him a large amount of money, and helped him succeed in ascending the throne, and of course he would repay the Qin State. ”

Zhang Yi's tone turned mysterious, and said: "And I heard that Mihuai is a good woman, we can also start from this point, find a folk woman, pretend to be the princess of the Qin family, and marry the prince Mihuai, wouldn't he trust the Qin State even more, contribute to the Qin State, and make trouble on the battlefield of Michi, so that the Qin army can take advantage of the situation and retreat." ”

Ying Si couldn't help nodding his head and replied: "The proposal put forward by Prime Minister Zhang Cheng is very agreeable, this money and other things are trivial matters, and the Qin State is fully capable of preparing it." It's just that on the Chu side, there is a lot of labor for Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, but on the Wei side, there is no suitable candidate for Prime Minister Zhang Cheng. ”

Zhang Yi moved his mind and hesitated, he had already thought about the candidate to lobby Wei, but it was also a reluctant choice. He settled down and said: "As for the Wei State, Weichen dared to mention one person, and that was Gongsun Yan, who was defeated in Michi. ”

Ying Si didn't expect Zhang Yi to propose to let Gongsun Yan go to Wei, he couldn't help but let out an "ah", his eyes widened in surprise, and he replied, "How could it be him?" This bear bag, even the widow is not shallow, he suffered a defeat in the Anyi battlefield before, the widow thought that he was unlucky, and gave him another chance, let him make meritorious service on the battlefield of Michi, who knew that he actually retreated from Baishi City. ”

Ying Si scolded hatefully: "The widow did not free his hand because of the tight situation in the battle of Michi, if the battle of Michi ended successfully, the widow would like to eat Gongsun Yan alive to comfort the soldiers who died in my Qin army." ”

Zhang Yi laughed and said, "Weichen knows that Gongsun Yan is blamed on Gongsun Yan, but he is a very suitable person to go to the Wei State. Suppose that if we succeeded in pushing Gongsun Yan to the Wei state, wouldn't the Qin state benefit a lot because the Wei state had one more minister who caused trouble? ”

"Besides, Gongsun Yan loves money, and he can impress him with just gold silk, which is the most needed candidate for Qin Lianheng. Therefore, Wei Chen dared to suggest that the king not only not punish him, but also fund him with money, so that he could open up the joints in Wei and ascend to the position of a powerful minister of Wei in one fell swoop, which would greatly benefit Qin State. ”

When Ying Si heard this, he also laughed and responded to Zhang Yi: "Exactly, exactly." This Gongsun Yan is always unwilling to be lonely, if he can stay in the Wei State, he will find a lot of trouble for Su Qin's alliance in the future. Prime Minister Zhang Cheng thinks that this candidate is really suitable. ”

Zhang Yi saw that Ying Si understood the truth, he also laughed, and said: "Gongsun Yan was originally the general of Wei, and I heard that he helped Wei during the siege of Quwo, and Wei Hei, the king of Wei, should be no stranger to this person. Now, the king let out the wind again, and it was rumored that the king was going to make Gongsun Yan the prime minister, but Zhang Yi took the lead, and Gongsun Yan was not angry, so he left the Qin State. ”

Ying Si frowned, not quite understanding the intention. Zhang Yi further explained: "The monarch did this nothing more than to raise the value of Gongsun Yan, so that Wei King Wei Hei felt that Gongsun Yan was a rare talent, so he decided to leave this person in Wei and entrust him with important tasks." ”

Ying Si had just woken up at this time, he laughed again, and said, "What's so difficult about this, the widow can immediately order his subordinates to do it." ”

Zhang Yi said again: "The situation that Weichen should report to the king is almost over, and now it depends on how we implement it." The monarch can make me prime minister in a moment, and Weichen can't neglect the military and political affairs of Qin. ”

When Zhang Yi said this, he bowed down and saluted Ying Si, and said: "The situation of the Qin army in Michi is urgent, and Wechen will implore you to issue an edict to let Wechen send an envoy to Chu as the prime minister of Qin, and set off tomorrow." Weichen went to visit Gongsun Yan and provoked him to Wei State. In this two-pronged way, the Chu army and the Wei army were separated from the combined vertical coalition army, and the Qin army was expected to return to China smoothly. ”

Seeing that Zhang Yi was so sympathetic to his hardships and diligent in state affairs, Ying Si was even more pleased, and said: "In this way, it is biased towards Prime Minister Zhang Cheng." Prime Minister Zhang Cheng can put state affairs first, and the widow must give full support and cooperation. The widow asked people to prepare 10,000 gold, twenty carriages, and then find a beautiful woman to act as the Qin clan. Prepare properly early tomorrow morning, let them follow Prime Minister Zhang Cheng into Chu. ”

When Ying Si said this, he simply stood up and said to Zhang Yi: "We don't have to wait here for the palace to send the prime minister's seal." Prime Minister Zhang Cheng cleaned up and went to the palace with the widow. The widow wants to hold a ceremony in the palace, on the one hand, to see off Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, and on the other hand, the widow wants to have a long talk with you overnight. ”

Zhang Yi was already lamented by the doubling of his value in one day, and he was even more flattered that he was so loved by the monarch at this moment. Zhang Yi hurriedly agreed: "The gentleman is warmly invited, how dare Weichen disobey." I'll go up to the palace with you. ”

Zhang Yi stood up as he spoke, he called the housekeeper Zhang Tong, and instructed him to talk to his wife Yingxi, saying that he had gone to the palace with the king, and told her that he didn't have to wait for him to have dinner.
