Seeing Xiang Zhuang's gloomy expression, Xiang couldn't help but ask, "King, what's wrong?" ”

Xiang Zhuang didn't answer, but handed the secret letter in his hand to Xiang He, Xiang He also turned pale after reading the secret letter, and handed the secret letter to the next Bi Shu.

After reading the secret letter, Bi Shu smiled slightly and said, "My senior brother has become the prime minister of South Korea? ”

Xiang He said: "King, I thought that this matter was probably not so simple, and it should not be regarded as an isolated incident, South Korea was originally an ally of my Great Chu, but now it has betrayed the alliance and defected to Han, who knows that Zhao and Yan will not follow suit?" ”

"It's certainly not an isolated incident." Bi Shu said, "If I guessed correctly, my senior brother should want to follow the example of Su Qin and Lian Henghan, Zhao, Yan, Qi, and Nanyue to fight against my Great Chu." ”

"Vertical and horizontal?!" Xiang Zhuang was suddenly awe-struck when he heard this.

Of course he has heard of the allusion of Su Qin's alliance and the weakness of the six countries, and Zhang Yi has of course heard of the allusion of breaking the alliance, these two are all famous in history, and they are also the descendants of the Ghost Valley!

Moreover, Xiang Zhuang knew better that once Bai Mo really succeeded in connecting horizontally and prompted the six countries of Han, Qi, Yan, Zhao, and Nanyue to advance and retreat together to resist the Chu State, then the Chu State would be in big trouble! The situation of the state of Chu will be much worse than that of the state of Qin, which only needs to face threats from one direction in the east, while the state of Chu is likely to face enemies in three directions: west, north, and south.

Fang is in the pattern today, the six countries of Han, Qi, Zhao, Yan, Han, and South Vietnam, pick out one or two countries at random, none of them are the opponents of Chu, but if the six countries join forces to resist Chu, then Chu will not be sure of victory, because the next conquest will be completely different from the Battle of Surabaya and the Battle of Chushui.

The Battle of Surabaya and the Battle of Chushui were at the doorstep of the Chu State, and the Chu State was a passive response. It's to survive, but then the next battle for unification. But it was the Chu army that took the initiative to attack. The battlefield also reached the ground of other countries, and the nature of the war became that the rest of the countries fought to the death with the Chu army in order to survive.

It is still unknown whether the grand pattern of Lianheng can finally take shape, but Chu State and Xiang Zhuang cannot wait to ignore it, not only must they prepare for the worst. And you must take the initiative to destroy the white ink as much as possible!

Xiang Ye also exclaimed: "Bai Mo wants to connect Henghan, Zhao, Yan, Qi and Nanyue? ”

Bi Shu bowed his head slightly. He added: "Moreover, my senior brother seems to have won the first battle. ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "South Korea has already fallen, but I don't know where Bai Mo's second stop will be?" ”

Bi Shu said: "According to the minister's opinion." Baimo's second stop will inevitably be Handan. Because Zhao has a large population, strong national strength, and is located in a key position, Zhao is located between Yan State, Qi State, and South Korea, and confronts me across the river from Chu, Bai Mo can only convince the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State to finally take shape! ”

"Oops!" Xiang He said urgently. "At this time, the doctor went to Panyu (Guangzhou) again."

Bai Mo shook his head and said, "Ling Yin." My senior brother Bai Mo is not only eloquent, but also familiar with the way of vertical and horizontal, and although the doctor is also eloquent, he lacks a little adaptability, not to underestimate the doctor, even if the doctor goes to Handan, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop Zhao Guo's betrayal, and ......"

Xiang He couldn't wait to ask, "And what?" ”

Bai Mo said: "And if you want to crack the big pattern of Lian Heng and resist Chu, the key is not in Zhao State." ”

Xiang Zhuang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "If you want to break the big pattern of Lian Heng resisting Chu, the key is Qi State!" ”

Bai Mo's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, and he greatly admired Xiang Zhuang's eyesight, and said, "King Mingjian." ”

"Qi Guo?" Xiang He was a little puzzled, and asked Xiang Zhuangdao, "King, Qi is an ally of the Han State, why has it become the key to breaking the pattern of Lianheng?" ..., Xiang Zhuang said: "Because the Qi country is at the critical node of the alliance!" ”

"Qi is at a critical juncture in the merger?" He still didn't understand.

Bi Shu smiled slightly, got up and walked to the screen where the map was hung, pointed to the map and explained: "Ling Yin, you see, if Senior Brother Yi wants to promote the general pattern of Lianheng resisting Chu, Nanyue and Yan are located in remote areas and have limited help, but the cornerstone of Lianheng is Han, Han, Zhao and Qi, these four countries are almost in a straight line from west to east, this is Lianheng. ”

Xiang He nodded, and said in a muffled voice: "I know this, but this Lianheng is not the other Lianheng." ”

More than a hundred years ago, Zhang Yizhi's Lianheng was just to crack Su Qin's alliance, but today's Baimo's Lianheng is to unite all weak countries to fight against Chu.

Bi Shu said: "This Lianheng is indeed not the other Lianheng, the Lianheng came into being, but it is just to crack the trend of the vertical, so today, if we want to crack the trend of the vertical, we must also use the way of the vertical!" ”

"Understood." Xiang He suddenly realized, "In the past, Zhang Yi used the way of Lianheng to crack the trend of Su and Qin, so today, I Dachu also want to use the way of Lianheng to crack the trend of Baimo Lianheng, the so-called Hezhong, that is, to unite the weak countries such as Yan, Qi, and Nanyue in the north and south directions, and Qi is just in the middle node of this longitudinal line, which is the key!" ”

"Exactly." Bi Shu smiled, "It's not a combination of verticals, it's not enough to crack the horizontal." ”

Xiang He nodded, and then said: "However, the Qi army was defeated in Surabaya, and Han Xin also died because of it, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the Qi State to abandon its previous suspicions and form an alliance with my Great Chu?" ”

This is indeed a difficult problem, the so-called revenge of killing his father is not shared, how can Han Yu, the king of Qi, give up?

Bi Shu waved his hand and said disapprerovitically: "The number of victories and defeats, the way of death and life, are all the will of heaven, and the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State should not settle the accounts on the heads of our Chu State." ”

Xiang Zhuang also said: "There has never been eternal friendship in this world, let alone eternal hatred, there are only eternal interests, as long as the interests of our Chu State can be consistent with the Qi State, it is not impossible to persuade the Qi State to form an alliance with me." ”

Xiang He thought for a while, and then said: "It's still not possible, my Da Chu doesn't have a Zongheng family that can match Bai Mo." ”

Xiang Zhuang laughed and said: "Ziyi, have you forgotten to learn the sword, Bai Mo and the sages Su Qin and Zhang Yi went out of the Ghost Valley together?" The people of Guigumen are known for their vertical and horizontal ways, how can I say that my Dachu does not have a vertical and horizontal family that can match Bai Mo? ”

"The general is also familiar with the way of vertical and horizontal?" Xiang He didn't believe it, it's no wonder, it's really Bi Shu's military performance is too dazzling, so that Xiang He selectively ignores his ability in other aspects, originally, if a person is so good in all aspects, wouldn't he be a demon?

Bi Shu said: "I don't know a thing or two, I just know a thing or two." ”

Xiang Zhuang said: "Don't be modest if you learn the sword, you are the only one who sends the Qi State to solve the heavy task of Lian Heng!" ”

"Since the king has an order, the minister dares to repay him by not following his death." Bi Shu shook Xiang Zhuang deeply, and said, "However, before the minister sends an envoy to the Qi State, he has to trouble the king to sing a big play." ”

Ying Zhen is pulling Baili Yishui and another concubine of Xiang Zhuang to play cards, this card is of course invented by Xiang Zhuang this traversal, in fact, it is from the twenty-first century to fight the landlord, once this card was invented, it immediately swept the entire Chu land, the concubines in the palace have nothing to do, and they also like to use cards to dispel punishment.

Baili Yishui called the landlord and said, "Sister, have you ever heard of a strange thing? ”

Ying Zhen lazily looked at the cards and asked casually, "Strange things?" What wonders? But where are the immortals? ”

Baili Yishui smiled: "There are no immortals, but a few days ago, a nephew of the queen's own family suddenly appeared, and he said that he was the grandson of Wei Wangbao, which is really unusual." ..., "The Queen's own nephew?" Ying Zhen suddenly fell into his heart, I didn't hear that Wei Wangbao had descendants.

"Who knows if this descendant of King Wei is real?" Baili Yishui came out of the deputy to three, and said, "Maybe someone saw that the king had conquered the hometown of Wei, so he wanted to jump out and pick up Xianluo and become the king of Wei." "It is not surprising that Baili Yishui has such an idea, in fact, there is indeed such a saying in the state of Chu, that the descendants of King Wei should be supported to restore the country.

Although Qin Shi Huang completed the unification of China and realized the centralized county system throughout the country, unfortunately, the rule of the Great Qin Empire only lasted for more than ten years before it fell apart, which labeled the county system as "tyranny".

Historically, after Liu Bang completed the unification, he actually wanted to follow the example of Qin Shi Huang to implement the centralized county system, but was strongly resisted by the ministers under his command.

Therefore, the sub-feudal system was the mainstream ideology at that time, if it weren't for Xiang Zhuang because the Han Kingdom was not destroyed, and the first king's revenge was not avenged, I am afraid that some ministers would have proposed to divide the feud a long time ago, this is also human nature, the big guy followed you to bleed and fight desperately, and finally the country was defeated, and there should always be some benefits, right?

It's not okay if you eat meat alone, but others can't even drink the soup.

However, even if Xiang Zhuang is still pressing, there are still many voices talking about it in private, thinking that the king of Chu should also be crowned a hero.

Especially after the successive victories of Surabaya and Chushui, and the annexation of the six counties of Liangdi, this kind of voice is even more noisy.

Two days ago, a young man who claimed to be Wei Bao's grandson appeared coldly, and he blatantly went to the palace to recognize his relatives, Queen Wei Yue arranged this person in the annex, because the identity could not be determined, Wei Yue asked people to keep the news tightly sealed, and Baili Yishui also heard about it inadvertently.

"And this?" Baili Yi is unintentional, but Yingzhen is the listener's intention.

Queen Wei Yue is pure and kind, and has no quarrel with others, but Ying Zhen is ambitious, and even more scheming, this woman always wants to restore the glory of the Great Qin Empire, but the things in front of her make her see a glimmer of hope, if she can really promote the division of King Wei, not only can she sell the queen a good, but also lay the groundwork for the future division of Qin, why not?
