Qin State, Xianyang.

Escorted by dozens of personal soldiers, Sima Coo's Pegasus rushed back to Xianyang - although he was nearly sixty years old, the Great Qin Lieutenant's kung fu had not diminished at all.

When passing through the main road of Xianyang, Sima Coo casually threw out a token, which made those Qin soldiers who wanted to intercept give up their thoughts and salute together: "Meet the national captain!" Great Qin Wansheng! ”

The group rode into the city, and the Qin soldiers behind were still whispering and exclaiming: "The national captain is really good at riding!" ”

"I don't know what it is, so that the old and respectful national captain can ride his horse and gallop wildly......"

Sima Coo went straight into the palace, and then gathered with Empress Dowager Xuan, Wei Ran and others, closed the door, and held a secret meeting.

At the door, dozens of Miyagi Qin soldiers with sharp blades were waiting for them.

Obviously, the secrecy of this meeting was very high, and even some ministers of the Qin State came to ask to see the Empress Dowager Xuan, but they were stopped by those Qin guards guarding the door.

What was being talked about in it, these Qin soldiers couldn't hear it clearly—they could only vaguely hear the excited laughter of those big people, and a few words that appeared very frequently—such as 'Chu State', 'Mi Liang', and so on......

A day later, two groups of envoys left Xianyang in disguise.

In the direction of going, it is Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, and Daliang, the capital of Wei.

……

A few days later.

Wei Si, the king of Wei, ended the day's court meeting, and was refreshed and ready to go to the harem to 'extinguish the fire', but was respectfully stopped by the chamberlain: "The king, someone asked to see him, saying that he had a plan to revive the Great Wei, and he wanted to meet the king in detail." ”

Zhongxing Dawei?

Wei Si raised his eyebrows, and a smile appeared on his face: "That person has given you a lot of benefits, right?" ”

The old chamberlain shook his eyebrows, and he didn't dare to hide it: "The king really sees thousands of miles." ”

Wei Si laughed a few times, originally wanted to ignore it, but after all, it was difficult to resist the temptation of the four words 'Zhongxing Great Wei', and in the end, he still summoned the outsider with the intention of 'being a pastime'.

It is strongly recommended to hold back left and right...... Wei Si also nodded with interest.

The door of the study was closed, and a moment later, Wei Si's exclamation was faintly heard inside: "What? You're ......" Then the voice quickly decreased.

The Wei soldiers outside were shocked and were about to rush in to protect their own king, but they were stopped in time by Wei Si inside.

It is said that the one who came to Wei Si was the envoy of the Qin State who came from Xianyang.

This envoy was eloquent, brushed over the historical grievances between the Qin and Wei states, and then used a lot of tongue to explain the threat of the Chu State-

First of all, the strength of the state of Chu is unprecedentedly strong.

Moreover, the strong need for expansion shown by the state of Chu was enough to make any neighboring country wary of it—within a few years, the land of Danyang that had been recovered would be left alone, and the territory expanded by the state of Chu alone included the land of the old Yue state, the land of the old Song state, and a large area of land in southern Qi......

The envoy of the Qin State threw out another blockbuster news - the Bashu Rebellion that shocked the world was also the people of Chu secretly making trouble behind their backs!

"Please think about it carefully - the land of Bashu is about to be owned by the Chu people. When the time comes, my Qin State will be helpless, and most of them will also bow down to Mihuai...... At that time, in which direction will the expansion of the Chu State be headed? ”

Wei Si's expression was very exciting, and he was silent for a long time.

"The King of Wei is still bent on stammering with the State of Chu...... In fact, the ambition of the State of Chu is expanding day by day, and if it is not hindered, I am afraid that no one will be able to stop it! Qin Envoy's tone was very unceremonious.

"The Chu people sat on the Huainan Plain, and after a few years, they took the big granary of Bashu...... At that time, the grain and grass of the Chu State will be endless, and the huge population of the Chu State will be matched with the huge population of the Chu State...... Who can stop this group of Nanban chariots? ”

"Of course, the state of Qin will be destroyed...... Could it be that Wei, Han and other countries can still stand alone? ”

The envoys of the Qin state exaggerated and described the state of Chu as extremely powerful and ambitious...... He also portrayed the Qin State as if it was about to be destroyed.

Sure enough, the face of Wei King Wei Si appeared uneasy.

This is the norm of the Warring States!

There are no eternal allies, and there are no eternal enemies.

Maybe in the first two years, everyone still had a common enemy, and in the blink of an eye, they would draw their swords again.

Whoever is strong will have to endure the joint crusade of the coalition forces of various countries - it is already a common practice.

Presumably, Qi Guo must have been deeply impressed by this......

……

In short, the envoy of the Qin State has one meaning - the Chu State has already been hegemonic, but it still has not stopped expanding (it is still marching towards Bashu), and it is obvious that the ambition has not been fully satisfied.

Now that the Chu State is too strong, if we don't join forces to beat him, we will have to finish the game sooner or later!

This is exactly the method that Sima Cuo came up with in a hurry - instead of fighting a tug-of-war with those chaotic armies in Bashu, it is better to temporarily abandon Bashu and unite several surrounding countries to attack Chu together!

In the past, the state of Chu was full of people who were looking for brothers to besiege and beat the state of Qin...... This trick, don't think that I, Qin Guo, can't learn it.

Anyway, the chaos on the Bashu side is a pot of porridge, and it won't be able to calm down in a year or two - first call the brothers, beat up the Chu State, and then reflexively go to Bashu to quell the chaos, it's completely too late!

Obviously, Wei Si, the king of Wei, was also quite moved by this proposal......

Don't look at the relationship between the two old enemies of Qin and Wei, the deep hatred and old grudges are layered on top of each other...... But when it's time to form an alliance, these filths will also be selectively forgotten!

In the end, the Qin State promised all kinds of benefits, which made the Wei King Wei Hei even more excited......

On the Korean side, a similar scene also happened - the envoy of the Qin State who went to South Korea even promised to return [Yiyang] to South Korea, which caused Han Cang, the king of Han, to be moved......

The old and spicy Sima Cuo uses the world as a chessboard and the countries as chess pieces...... A huge conspiracy against the State of Chu is gradually weaving into shape!

……

Another year, in a flash.

The time has quietly come to 303 BC!

It has been five or six years since Xiong Wuliang just crossed over...... Xiong Wuliang's height has grown a little taller, the beard around his mouth has grown a little, and the whole person looks more mature.

In the past year, Qu Yuan, Le Yi, Shen Dao, and Zhao Hua have worked together, and under the leadership of these four talents, the changes in the fiefdom have been basically completed-

In the fiefdom of the four counties, the centralization of power to Xiong Wuliang, Marquis of Quyang, has been completed!

The students exported by the academy shined, completely banning the monopoly of local wealthy families on official hats.

Although these nobles were still allowed to retain some of their private troops, the overall number was also set a strict upper limit according to the number of each clan.

No one dared to anger Qu Yuan's new law - those who once dared to resist were all dealt with with an iron fist.

Due to the unprecedented concentration of power in the fiefdom, the strength that Xiong Wuliang could use became even more terrifying - coupled with the increase in the overall population and the accumulation of wealth, Xiong Wuliang had the capital to carry out a new round of expansion of the Quyang New Army.

It's a pity that this exciting resolution was vetoed by Xiong Wuliang, who had long been unambitious.

In the past year, Xiong Wuliang's life can be described as free and chic-
