Chapter 522: Six Families Divided
In the Jin State in the north of Zheng State, the Quwo clan achieved an absolute advantage in the struggle against the Jin State Office.
The state of Qi implemented reforms, and Duke Huan of Qi began to dominate.
Zheng Guo's position is in the land of four wars, there is no danger to defend, and it is sandwiched between the great powers.
Therefore, the great powers compete for hegemony and often use Zheng Guo as a battlefield.
In foreign policy, Zheng was sometimes pro-Chu, sometimes pro-Jin, but most of the time pro-Chu.
Zheng Guo started from Zheng Xianggong, Qi Mu took turns to govern and control the power of the country, while Zheng Guojun was in great decline.
During the reign of Qimu, only Zi Chuan adopted a flexible diplomatic strategy when the country was in power, and Zheng Guo was able to gain a chance to breathe, and the national strength was slightly restored.
But after the birth, Zheng Guo is still the same, and the country is no longer powerful.
Zheng Guo, at this time, can be called a "big country" among the kingdoms of the heavens, and has a strong war background.
If they insist on resisting to the end, it will be difficult for Wu to tame the Zheng people.
This is why Qingji has always been reluctant to destroy the country.
This is still the case for some small countries, let alone Zheng Guo, for medium-sized countries?
"Kill Zheng, don't do it."
After some careful consideration, Qingji finally let out a long breath, waved his hand and said: "It is not difficult for the two countries of Wu and Jin to join forces to destroy Zheng, but the difficult thing is how to ensure that my Wu State can hold these cities and lands?" ”
"My Wu country is too far away from Zheng Di, and Zheng Di is on the edge of Jin State."
"The widow is afraid that Zheng Guo will be destroyed, and the only one who will get the cheap will be the Jin people in the end."
Hearing this, Wu Zixu and Bo Yan, who were standing on the side, couldn't help but bow their heads slightly and agreed.
The capital of Wu is in Jinling, thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, and it is really impossible to control Zhengdi.
Even if it is defeated, in the end, the Jin Kingdom will be close to the water and the first to get the moon.
How could Qingji cheapen the Jin Kingdom for nothing?
This is in the "capital enemy"!
"Great King, if you want to support the new monarch of Zheng Guo and make the Zheng people submit, I am afraid it will not be easy."
Bo Yan shook his head and said, "Zheng Guo is still hostile to my Wu State. ”
"And on the Jin side, Shi Ying and Zhao Ying may not have thought of the new monarch who supported Zheng State, so as to force Zheng people to submit. This...... How is it good? ”
This is the point that makes Qingji the most headache now.
What they can think of, Jin Guo can also think of.
It is not so easy to destroy a Zheng Guo.
Even if the alliance forces of Wu and Jin are not fully exerted, Zheng Guo can continue to breathe, and then wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
Can the Jin people be trustworthy and jealous?
Apparently not.
Just as Qingji can't trust the Jin people.
There was also intrigue between Wu and Jin.
What can I do?
"Now the initiative is in the hands of Zheng Ren, and the breakthrough is Zheng Bo."
Qingji squinted his eyes and said, "It's man-made." If Uncle Zheng chooses the Kingdom of Jin, then I, the Kingdom of Wu, should withdraw from the Kingdom of Zheng......"
This is the most helpless thing.
With the support of the Jin people, Wu Guo could not move Zheng Guo for the time being.
And with the support of the Wu people, the Jin State could not move Zheng Guo for the time being.
In this way, Qingji's idea of getting involved in the Central Plains and laying a bridgehead for Wu to attack the Central Plains in the future was only in vain.
"King, the minister has a strategy, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"
Wu Zixu said with a frown.
"Please."
Knowing that Wu Zixu had a plan, Qingji was also quite surprised.
At this time, can we turn passive into active and solve such a dilemma?
Wu Zixu pondered for a moment and said slowly: "King, we can make Zheng Ren have no choice. ”
"How?"
"If the Marquis of Jin dies, what should it be?"
"This ...... Zixu, are you asking the widow to send assassins to assassinate the Marquis of Jin? ”
Qingji was stunned for a moment.
"Exactly!"
Wu Zixu replied: "As soon as the Marquis of Jin dies, his son is young and will not be able to control the strong ministers, and the six secretaries of the Jin State will definitely be in turmoil, busy with infighting, and carve up the power of the Marquis of Jin." ”
"As long as Uncle Zheng is not stupid, he should know whether to surrender to Wu or surrender to Jin!"
Assassinate Jin Marquis Ji Wu?
This made Qingji's eyes narrow, and he was very hesitant.
Qingji has always believed that intrigue and trickery will not succeed in a big deal.
However, in some things, sometimes it is the use of intrigue to win by surprise.
Just like the assassins in history, they have to stay away from the assassins.
If you kill the head of the other party, you can achieve your goal with almost no effort.
Assassinating the king and driving this kind of thing, Wu Zixu is very good at it.
For intrigues, Qingji is not disdainful.
Rather, sometimes the effect is really not good.
It's just that according to the current national conditions of the Jin Kingdom, if the Marquis of Jin Ji Wu dies young, the young new monarch will definitely be stripped of power, and then the power of the six kings will be further expanded.
This is in favor of Qingji.
Qingji's original purpose was to think about dismembering the behemoth of the Jin Kingdom.
Three divisions?
Six divisions are better!
"The king, the minister also thinks that it is not impossible to assassinate the Marquis of Jin."
Bo Biao agreed.
"If it fails, what then?"
Qingji glanced at Wu Zixu and asked.
Hearing this, Wu Zixu said in a deep voice: "Great King, the worst result now is that Wu and Jin are at odds with each other, and the forces of my Wu State withdraw from the Central Plains. ”
"In that case, why doesn't the king give it a go?"
Qingji nodded, and then asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"The king, the minister knows that there is a person who can be in charge."
Wu Zixu said: "Bai Gongsheng's old Xiong Yiyi, originally a butcher who killed pigs, and later followed Bai Gongsheng to start an incident, and his courage was overwhelming, and he could fight five hundred enemies. ”
"Xiong Yiyi is very courageous, and he is the most suitable to be an assassin."
Hearing this, Qing Ji said lightly: "Is this person credible?" ”
"Credible."
Wu Zixu replied: "The king, in this life, the minister has read countless people, and he has almost never made mistakes. ”
"Xiong Yiyi is a natural assassin, bold enough and brave. If the king uses Xiong Yifang, he will definitely be able to kill the Marquis of Jin Ji Wu. ”
“……”
Qingji didn't speak, but thought quietly.
For Xiong Yiyi, Qingji has heard a little.
There are two famous "Xiong Yiyi" in history.
One is Xiong Yifang during the reign of King Chuzhuang, who is good at making pills for play, and can defeat 500 people.
In the past, the Chu army surrounded the capital of the Song State and could not be attacked for a long time.
Xiong Yiyi performed a pill blasting stunt in front of the two armies, which made the soldiers of the Song army stunned.
Suddenly, the Chu army covered up, and the Song army was defeated......
The other Xiong Yibian was a warrior during the Bai Gongsheng Rebellion.
In history, Bai Gongsheng wanted to rebel, and Shi Qi recommended Xiong Yiyi to him to kill the princes, Zixi, Ziqi and Zilu.
However, the current "butterfly effect" is that Bai Gongsheng wanted to use Xiong Yiyi to assassinate Shen Zhuliang, but he didn't succeed, but Xiong Yiyi could still get out of the way!
The strength of this person is beyond doubt.
In fact, under Qingji's account, there are now many fierce generals in Luoyi, such as Xiong Zidan, Meng Ben, and Gou Jian, all of whom have the courage to fight against a hundred.
Is Qingji willing to use them to assassinate Jin Marquis Ji Wu?
