While the Luoguo Office was indulging in fine craftsmanship, the never-ending struggle between the nations began to gather strength again.

In the Wei court, it was a joyful atmosphere, and the Wei army defeated the Qin army, which made Wei Houqing quite proud of his eyebrows.

So Lang Sheng laughed and said: "Zhongqing, the Qin State has been defeated, not only the Cuihan Passage, but also the west of the Cuihan is also in the hands of the Wei State, which is a feat that was only done when the Jin State was at its peak."

Twenty years ago, the Qin State was strong, and he was alone in front of Uncle Qin, and it was not until today that he realized his great wish.

It's a pity that he died, otherwise Lone would really want to see what a wonderful expression he had on his face.

This is all the credit of the talented people, especially the Minister of State, you are the treasure given by Haotian to Lonely.

If you are not rewarded heavily, it is disrespectful to Haotian.

I want to give you the richest fief in the Wei Kingdom, and only in this way can I be a little rewarded for your merits. ”

The eyes of the important ministers of Wei in the main hall lit up, the Zongheng family and the Legalist scholars, if they don't talk to you about any ideals, what they want is money, fame, status and interests, so Wei Houqing generously gave them it.

After all the ministers were satisfied with the reward, Wei Houqing asked, "Zhongqing, what should you do in the next battle to attack Chu?" ”

Wei Yuan, who was ranked first among the ministers in the reward, immediately said: "Monarch, the state of Chu is very different from the state of Qin.

Qin was strong outside and internal cadres, and there was political chaos since 20 years ago, and the strength of Wei quickly became stronger, but Qin stood still, and there were constant disputes with Chu in the land of Bashu, plus the military force was strong in the world.

Wei is strong and Qin is weak, is there a reason why Qin has an undefeated state?

But the state of Chu, since Xiong Dun defeated the sixth army of King Li, has a reputation among the nations, and by the time of King You, the state of Chu was already a powerful country in the world.

For more than 500 years, almost all the large-scale wars in Bangzhou were wars between the Chu State and the Central Plains, so you should be careful in the face of the Chu State. ”

Wei Houqing nodded involuntarily, the Central Plains countries were wary of the Chu State, because the Chu State was too strong, except for the Qi State and the Jin State at their peak, the world could not compete with it.

After the Zhuxia War, the state of Chu became recognized as the largest country in the world, and the state of Wei was split from the state of Jin, so the imagination of the state of Chu inevitably came back to the original state of Jin.

"But although the state of Chu is strong, there are many enemies, he fought with the state of Qin in Bashu, wanted to destroy the state of Wu in the southeast, and wanted to encroach on the land of the royal family in the north.

After Ling Yin Xiang was stabbed to death, the Marquis of Chu alone could not control those nobles who constantly wanted to expand outward, and this was the time given by God for Wei to defeat Chu.

The state of Chu has become the number one power in the world, which has made the Chu people arrogant, isn't this a sign that it is about to fail?

He also asked the monarch to send envoys to contact Qin, Wu, and Qi, plus Han and Zhao, and the six countries attacked Chu in a row, and they would definitely be able to break Chu. ”

Wei Houqing was puzzled: "Prime Minister, Han and Zhao are allies, and Wu is in danger of falling in the face of Chu, so these three countries are naturally called to come."

But the Qin State had just been defeated by the Wei State, and the Qin people had been beheaded by many people, and they had a deep blood feud, would they agree to attack the Chu State with the Wei State?

The State of Qi collapsed twenty years ago, and after all these years of shrinking in the country, did he dare to attack the State of Chu?

I'm afraid this doesn't make sense, are you serious? ”

The prime minister smiled and said: "Monarch, the hatred between Qin and Wei is like two people quarrelling, and their blood is surging, so they beat each other."

But the hatred between Qin and Chu was a non-stop fight between each other for twenty years.

Can small hatreds cover up big hatreds?

As for the Qi State, the changes in these years can be regarded as quite effective, and it cannot be regarded as 20 years ago.

The Acropolis is a man of good words, and if he had gone to the nations, it would have been done. ”

The Acropolis was born in Weidi, and the Weiguo had disappeared with the fall of the Jin State, but in order to prove that he inherited the orthodoxy of the Jin State, Wei Houqing found the descendants of the Weiguo and named him Weijun.

"Secretary Wei, did you hear what the Minister said?"

The Acropolis bowed his hand on the seat and said confidently: "Monarch, the city will not fail in its mission!" ”

The court of the Qin State is completely different from the Wei State, for the person of Wei Houqing, the current Qin State monarchs and ministers can't even hear the name, it seems that since meeting this person, the Qin State has not encountered any good things, and has constantly failed, making a prosperous Qin State into the current and even a little tired.

"Monarch, when the State of Chu heard the news of the defeat of our army, it once again increased its troops towards the Shu Plain, and if this continues, we will temporarily lose the Shu Plain.

If the state of Chu is completely controlled and goes down the river, it will continuously transport grain to Yingdu, so that the state of Chu will become stronger and stronger. ”

Although the pass leading from Shuzhong to Guannai was controlled by the Qin State, and it was unlikely that the Chu State would break through the Qin State from here, the Shu Plain was not a barren land hundreds of years ago, but a country of abundance that could produce a lot of grain.

Just when the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State were anxious, the Acropolis came to the Qin State, and faced the Wei ministers who had just defeated the Qin State not long ago, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State glared angrily.

Although they knew that it was impossible, there were still many Qin ministers with murderous intent rising in their hearts, and some Qin nobles shouted: "Wei Chen! Say what you mean.

If Wei Houqing sent you to humiliate the Qin State, then today the two of us will die in this hall at the same time.

The State of Qin will never be humiliated! ”

The Acropolis had long expected this situation, but he was not afraid.

To learn the art of vertical and horizontal is to go deep into the enemy country, that is, to face all kinds of kings and courtiers, if you are greedy for life and afraid of death, you will definitely achieve nothing.

I saw him smile gracefully and said, "Uncle Qin, maybe there is some misunderstanding between Qin and Wei, which makes your important ministers have some misunderstandings about foreign ministers.

There is no hatred between Qin and Wei, Wei is a country that knows etiquette, how could it humiliate Qin for no reason?

The city came on the order of the monarch for the sake of the social stability of the Qin State. ”

Wei Cheng opened his eyes and said nonsense, which made the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State laugh a little, and Qin Bo sneered: "The lives of tens of thousands of Qin people are actually without hatred, and Wei Houqing can always surprise the people of the world."

You said that you came for the society of the Qin State, not only lonely, but the ministers of the palace must be very curious, please say it. ”

"Uncle Qin, when the minister was traveling in Korea, he saw a butcher, he used to quarrel with people, when the blood was up, they fought with each other, both of them had blue noses and swollen faces, and they were bedridden for several months to recuperate.

Later, he saw the butcher and another butcher fighting for meat, but without saying a word, both sides held sharp knives in their hands, and from time to time drew bloody marks.

Who do you think the butcher hates more deeply? ”

Qin Bo said: "Of course it's another butcher." ”

Wei Cheng smiled: "This is the truth between the three kingdoms of Qin, Wei and Chu, although there was a quarrel between Qin and Wei, there was a war before, but between Qin and Wei, it was only a battle of will, could Wei enter Guanzhong?" Did the state of Qin enter the Kanto region?

However, the state of Chu and the state of Qin competed for the plain of the Shu country, which was to cut off the granary of the Qin people, if they lost here, who would feed the population of the Qin state?

Guanzhong has suffered frequent natural disasters in recent years, if the Shu Plain is lost, will the Qin people starve to death on the Wei River?

The foreign minister is worried about your country! ”

Acropolis's words made the faces of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State feel cloudy, and the Acropolis said: "The State of Chu really can't change the nature of the barbarians.

How did the Qi and Jin kingdoms do when they became the overlords of the world? Maintain the peace among the nations of Zhuxia.

However, the state of Chu became the first great power, but it bullied the state of Qin in the west, oppressed the royal family in the north, and tried in vain to tear up the peace conference in the east and destroy the state of Wu.

King Su once said that if virtue does not match his position, the heavens will bring disaster.

The monarch is willing to obey the will of the heavens and crusade against the state of Chu, the state of Qin is one of the most important states in Zhuxia, and without your participation, the will of the heavens cannot be reflected.

If it can be victorious, presumably what the Chu State has gained on the Shu Plain will be given to the Qin State by heaven. ”

Of course, Wei Houqing didn't want Qin to get the entire Shu Plain, but now it is the most important thing to attack Chu State, wait until Chu State is beaten half to death first, and then let Chu State go to the Shu State Plain to bleed Qin State.

Neither Qin nor Chu can give up the Shu Plain, which will become a meat grinder for the two countries, and as long as the Wei State controls and uses it properly, it can continue to cut meat from Qin and Chu.

Thinking of the importance of the Shu Plain and the increasingly unstoppable strength of the Chu State, Qin Bo immediately said: "What you said is right, the Qin State should obey the will of Heaven and unite with the Wei State to crusade against the Chu State together.

Please also return to the country to inform the Marquis of Wei that the Qin State will send the Xianyang Army to the Shu Plain to contain the main force of the Chu Army. ”

Although it was decided to form an alliance with Wei again, Wei Houqing's capricious reputation made Qin not dare to send a letter to Guguan to make peace with Wei.

At the same time, Wei began to contact Han and Zhao, both of whom belonged to the Three Jin Dynasty, and compared with the strength of Wei after the reform, Han and Zhao, both of which belonged to the Three Jin Dynasty, were more stretched.

Korea's land is relatively small, and it has always been in a weak position among the three Jin Dynasty, so on the one hand, it has formed an alliance with Wei, on the other hand, it has united with Zhao, and it has constantly swayed to the royal family with a larger land area.

Zhao is far stronger than Korea in terms of land and population, and if there is no enclave occupied by Qin, Zhao's land can be called a mountain and river.

Wei didn't have the slightest intention of helping in this regard, obviously wanting to let Qin and Zhao check and balance each other in order to maintain their position as the boss of the Three Jins.

Faced with the request of the Wei State to jointly send troops, Han Chengzhao used the two of them to sum up, "The Wei State wants to dominate the world."

After all, the three Jin are one, and it is better for Wei to be strong than Chu to be strong, but Wei must promise enough benefits, and Han and Zhao cannot send troops in vain. ”

In the face of Han Zhao's request, Wei Houqing agreed to all of them with a slight modification, so the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han reached an alliance again after facing Qin.

I began to love Chu again~
