One hundred and sixty-five, Bihe Qin Gong Fengze Meeting (1)

Shen Buxian sighed: "Lord! Not with the two of us. However, centralization is an inevitable general trend, and any country that wants to survive in this world must abandon the wells and fields and build centralized power. Let's wait until South Korea is forced to go to which step! ”

King Qi had just finished the funeral of King Qi Wei and finished dividing the ministers, and he received a letter from the Son of Heaven to Qin Jian. He is different from the King of Wei. He most hopes that there will be a strong Qin in the west to contain this damn Wei State. So that Qiang Qi, after cleaning up the East, will compete with Qin and Wei for the world. So after receiving Jian, he ordered Chenghou to be jealous of his son, sent a warm congratulatory letter to Qin, and promised to attend the Fengze meeting on time, and King Qi would personally congratulate Qin Gong Zhibo at the meeting.

As a great power in the east, King Qi's commitment naturally affected the princes of various countries. Chu was originally an ally of Qin, and of course it responded positively. King Wei looked at it: In the end, he was the only one left who did not return to Jian, in order not to lose the dignity and demeanor of a great country, he had to be forced to be helpless under the persecution of Daxing Shi.

But the King of Wei would not let go of the Qin State so lightly. In order to save some dignity and vent the resentment in the heart of King Wei, he came to Qin State on the matter of borrowing the Tao from Qin State.

The Qin State regarded the Fengze Bihe Conference as the top priority of the Qin State. In addition to all the thirty-eight princes of all sizes who are qualified to attend the meeting, all of them should be appointed to attend the meeting; This was the first time since King Ping moved eastward. Not only Zhou Tianzi was overjoyed! Qin Gong was even more overjoyed! It was personally commanded by Sun Ying, the great master, to preside over this Fengze Alliance.

In this way, the Duke of Qin decided: At this meeting, he will show the style of the Qin State and let the princes of the world see: What is the strength of the Qin State pressed together? Therefore, the Qin State decided: the Ketou Army sent out six divisions, each division had six brigades, totaling 18,000 people, and used the marching army formation to show the strength of the Qin army at the meeting. Qin Gong's Tiger Ben Army only brought six brigades of 3,000 people, responsible for guarding the security of Qin Gong and the venue.

However, according to the custom, Qin State informed Wei of the number and details of Korea and Wei, but Wei did not agree. The reason is very simple: to hold a meeting in the Wei State, according to the customary security of the Wei State, so there is no need for so many troops, please bring only 3,000 Tiger Ben troops! And according to the agenda of the alliance of the princes, no military formation shall appear in the meeting.

After Qin Guo took the opportunity to return to Jian, he was furious, so he sent the envoy to Wei and Luoyang, and pulled the skin to Zhou Tianzi. Zhou Tianzi was in Luoyang, and he was not wronged by the king of Wei, so as soon as he saw that the opportunity had come, he invited the envoys of the seven countries to discuss the matter of the king of Wei hindering the military formation at the venue. Zhao, Qi, and Han were originally coalition forces attacking Wei, and they were still in a state of hostility with Wei, so of course they supported Qin. If Chu doesn't come, it won't deal with Wei, and he is an ally of Qin, so he supports Qin. At the meeting, there was a Yan country, and in order to follow the trend, it didn't matter if he stood on the side of the Qin country.

After Zhou Tianzi saw the result, he said to the envoy of Wei who was blue with anger: "Special envoy! That's not to blame. The widow did his best, and specially convened a special envoy meeting of the Seven Kingdoms for this trivial matter, but the widow had no way to help Wei for the unrighteous and helpless. Please tell King Wei about it when you go back! ”

In this way, King Wei stole chickens and failed to make a handful of rice, which was ridiculed by everyone in the world. After the envoy returned, the king of Wei was so angry that he demoted the envoy to Hexi to defend the border.

There is still a month before the spring equinox of the twentieth year of Qin Gong. Duke Qin ordered the young official Gongzi to be the envoy! led the crowd of 3,000 and went to Fengze to set up the venue first. The commander-in-chief, Gongsun Ying, was left behind to defend the country.

Fifteen days before the spring equinox, Duke Qin went to Fengze with hundreds of officials under the escort of the Ketou Army and the Tiger Ben Army. As soon as the letter came out of Guguan, he borrowed Huayin in Wei, Quwo, Yushan and Mianchi in South Korea; Zhou Tianzi's Henan, Luoyang, Gong; South Korea's Chengzhen, Shiqiu, Guan; Wei's Zhongyang, Zhongmu, Shahai, and Daliang; It can be regarded as a sightseeing tour to Fengze. Of course, Qin Gong took this path of seeking the near and far, and that was for a purpose. According to Gongsun Ying's words, that is, to take advantage of this conference to survey the geography and draw the roads along the way, so that when there is a chance to march, there will be no more sneak attacks on the battle of Anyi.

And the envoy Gongzi Shaoguan, who arrived first, led the monarch of the small feudal state who arrived early according to the requirements of the Qin State, and was already in front of the auspicious gate of Fengze at this time. When Qin Gong's convoy arrived at the auspicious gate built with pine and cypress branches and colored silk, they thundered with joy and preached gongs and drums! The Duke of Qin was also unambiguous, wearing a full set of twelve Xuan Tiaras, sitting on the six-horse canopy car, and very naturally accepted the congratulations of the monarchs of the small feudal country, but he was much more majestic than Zhou Tianzi.

After a tedious welcome ceremony, Duke Qin rested with great satisfaction. As soon as Duke Qin entered the account, the young official of Gongzi was looked at by the excited Duke Qin.

Qin Gong asked with a smile: "Aiqing, what you did this time is very satisfying!" By the way, let's tell the widow about the preparations! ”

The young officer hurriedly handed over his hand to report the preparations. After listening to this, Duke Qin asked about the major events that the princes of the Six Kingdoms that Duke Qin was most concerned about had arrived.

Gongzi Shaoguanyu reported: "The report of the detective cavalry will stop at the time of Shen. Except for Zhou Tianzi, who was still on the way, the other princes had already arrived. The king of Qi set up a tent in the east ten miles. The king of Wei lived in Daliang City. Zhao Hou was next to the Qi tent. Yan Gong set up a big tent in the north five miles. The king of Chu set up a tent in the south of Wuli. Han Hou set up a tent in the west five miles, and all the princes should be on the left side of the lord's case. Please take a look! ”

After Qin Gong touched a large pile of bamboo slips on the case, he praised: "Well, you prepared well this time." But, the key is tomorrow. You must act according to the rules set by the Great Shangzao, and you must not make any mistakes, especially the military prestige of the Qin army. Where did Ao Leopard go? ”

"General Ao went to the King of Chu and went to pick up Lord Jing!" The young officer of the son returned.

Qin Gong smiled: "This Jing Supervisor, he really takes time." Alright, you step aside! ”

"Yes!" After the young officer of the son humbly finished saluting, he withdrew.

Fengze, this is a small town of Wei that does not even have a city, less than twenty miles away from the Great Liang City of Wei. Just because it was located in the center of the Warring States period, it was improvised by Zhou Tianzi as a place for international conferences. It may also be that on the day of the spring equinox in the twentieth year of the Duke of Qin, he inherited the spirit of all the princes, and more than a thousand years later, this place became the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty. This is a later story, not to mention. Now only mention the twenty-seventh year of King Zhou Xian, that is, the spring equinox in 342 BC, on the last day of mid-spring, the Fengze Conference in Gengchen Day.
