Volume 1 The Hidden Movement of the World Chapter 31 Counting and Planning
Gongsun Yan succeeded in gaining the support of the six countries on the basis of Hui Shi's implementation of the policy of Lianheng, and received the promise of King Chu Huai as the leader of the alliance, and he was overjoyed, so he implemented all the details one by one and prepared to jointly send troops to attack Qin. The Qin State under the leadership of Lizi quickly got relevant news from various countries, confirming that the Six Kingdoms jointly attacked Qin, so Lizi and Zhang Yi hurriedly came to see Qin Huiwen Wang Yingsi.
"The widow mistakenly believed in Gongsun Yan's villain, and now he is fighting back, intending to attack Qin together, what is Zhang Zi's clever plan?" King Qin asked Zhang Yidao.
Gongsun Yan is arrogant and arrogant, ambitious and talented, and seems to have great talents, but in fact he has no talent for the king, and the minister can get rid of this villain for the king!" Zhang Yi replied.
"Okay, what's going on today?
"Today, the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Qin stand side by side, and the strength of the Qi country lies in the fact that it is both internal and external, and that there are many talents, and it cannot be underestimated; the strength of Chu lies in the fact that it is big and wide, but in fact it is big but not strong! I look at the person of King Huai of Chu, just like his country, he is exposed to the outside, timid inside, and he is very happy with his achievements, and he is very strong and resolute, which is completely different from the wisdom and decisiveness of the king! Now that Chu is the leader of the alliance, Qi and Chu will be worried! Qi and Chu are different from Qi and Qin, and the frontiers of Qi and Chu are connected and they are scruples about each other; and Qi and Qin are separated by thousands of miles, and there is no direct conflict! Since the state of Chu gained the land of Yue, the state of Qi had more scruples about the state of Chu than the state of Qin. The king can make a lobbyist, say that the king of Qi is moved, and secretly make friends with the state of Qi to check and balance the state of Chu, and at the same time deliberately leak the news and let the king of Chu know, the king of Chu must be shaken in his heart and watch left and right! At this time, it will be much easier for the king to send another person to the state of Chu to lobby the king of Chu!" Zhang Yi said and stopped here.
"What Zhang Zi said is reasonable! What does Yuanhou think?" said King Qin to Lizi.
"It's extremely incisive, and it's not a loss for Zhang Zi!" said Lizi.
"It is obvious that no matter if any two countries form an alliance with the three powers, the other country will inevitably be nervous! As far as the present situation is concerned, there will be no sincere alliance between any two countries! The principle of the three powers, just like the three Jin in the past, the strong and the strong will not be aligned, but the weak and the weak will ally to control the strong! Extrapolating from this, there are only two reasons for the alliance of the six countries today: first, Han Wei was weak, so he drew all the countries to fight against our Qin state; second, Gongsun Yan made profits from it, and wanted to make meritorious contributions and go down in history, and that's it!"
"That's right! In this way, my Great Qin only needs to comfort Han Wei, appease Yan Zhao, and divide Qi Chu, and this situation can be broken!"
"The king is wise! After the eldest daughter of the king is the king of Yan, she can inform Meng Huan and bribe the prime minister of Yan State, and Yan Guo can be safe! The young lord of Zhao State has first ascended to the throne, and he is unstable inside and outside, so he will not easily be the enemy of my Great Qin, and he can make one person enter Zhao, know the benefits, and at the same time inform Feiyi, saying that my Qin State can take the land of Yiqu, Lou Fu, and Lin Hu with Zhao State, and Zhao State can be cared! Wei Ying, the king of Wei, has just ascended the throne, and it is when the people's hearts are fluctuating, and Wei Hei will not be in a hurry, and the king can make Wei swim into Wei, move it with emotion, and deter it, and Wei Si will not dare to act rashly! South Korea has always been between the great powers, and it is accustomed to seeing the wind and making the rudder, and even taking advantage of the horizontal, and the king can make one person enter Korea, saying that he will form an alliance with South Korea, and secretly promise to help him enter the land of the Zhou and Song dynasties, so that he can kill two birds with one stone, which can not only make South Korea feel relieved, but also plant the root of the bane in the Central Plains, and lay a hidden pile for his eastward advance!" Zhang Yi said.
"It's wonderful!" said Lizi after listening.
"I have to sit back and relax!" King Qin said happily.
According to Zhang Yi's plan, the king of Qin sent Gan Mao, Wei Zhang, Yu You and others to the countries one by one to lobby the kings, and they all worked.
Gongsun Yan wrote a letter urging the kings to send troops to attack Qin as soon as possible, but the kings were not active, and they all shirked everything. Gongsun Yan was puzzled in his heart, suspecting that Qin Guo had done something from it, so he secretly inquired, and as expected, he learned that it was Zhang Yi who made a plan to disintegrate the discord, causing the kings to shirk and hesitate.
In desperation, Gongsun Yan had to go to Qi to discuss countermeasures with Su Qin in person.
"Now that Zhang Yi is scheming, the kings of the six kingdoms are hesitant, and there are many shirks about sending troops to attack Qin, can Su Zi have a way to deal with it?"
"Zhang Yi's plan is nothing more than inducement and coercion! The rhinoceros can count the pros and cons of the six countries, break through each one, and use the way of others to govern others!" Su Qin said.
"This is reasonable! Now that the six countries are united, Chu is the leader of the alliance, and Chu has the greatest benefit in the matter of the alliance, but the king of Chu is hesitant, I look at Xiong Huai, who has no great ambitions, and is really in vain for a generation of overlords!" Gongsun Yan sighed.
"Xiong Huai has ambitions but cannot be firm, he is not good at making decisions, and he has the courage to be external but cowardly inside, which is really not a hegemon! Chu's scruples lie in Qi Qin's succession, and Zhang Yi took advantage of this! If the rhinoceros wants to make the king of Chu decide to destroy Qin, he must first eliminate the scruples of the king of Chu about threatening the rear of the state of Chu, and drive a wedge between Qi and Qin, so that the king of Chu has no worries about the future, and then he can succeed!"
"This matter is not difficult, the battle of Fu Qi and Qin Sanqiu is vivid, why not take this opportunity to talk about it, divide the two kingdoms of Qi and Qin, and make the king of Chu make up his mind as soon as possible?"
"Qin Zhi Sima Coo, Qi Zhi Kuang Zhang, they are all famous generals in the world! Speaking of the Battle of Sanqiu, maybe you may make some fuss about Kuang Zhang!"
"Oh, what is Suzi's plan?"
Kuang Zhang's parents were not on good terms, Zhang's father killed his mother with his own hands, and Zhang did not speak to his father. After Zhang's father died, Zhang did not let his mother be reburied, and people said that Zhang was not filial to his father, and he did not let his parents be buried together, and he was also unfilial to his mother! The rhinoceros could use the mouth of the Qin people to say that Zhang's unfilial piety was not filial piety, and spread rumors, saying that the King of Qin and Sima Cuo despised Kuang Zhang very much when they talked about him, and that the Qi people were not his parents, and the King of Qi mistakenly used people without virtue! In this way, Qi Zhi would hate Qin Zhi's nonsense, and it would be difficult for him to have a relationship with Qin! The rhino head took the opportunity to lobby the King of Chu and inform the King of Chu that the friendship between Qi and Qin was completely fake, and that it was Zhang Yi's plan to mess with Chu, and the King of Chu would easily believe it!
"Su Zi is good at knowing people's hearts, this plan is easy to implement, but you can give it a try!" Gongsun Yan said with a smile.
"There is a person named Qu Yuan in the state of Chu, although this person is young, but his heart to resist Qin is very strong, and the rhino head can be used, which may add a chance of winning!"
"This is easy, Qu Yuan has a relationship with Keiko, as long as Keiko writes a book!"
"As for King Qi, I should do my best to say it! If the two kingdoms of Qi and Chu are settled, it will be much easier for the other countries!"
"The country of the Three Jin Dynasty is easy, and as for the country of Yan, it will not be too difficult to get it from the place of the son!"
"On the actual day of sending troops, you need to find an opportunity, so it's good!" Su Qin added.
"Speaking of opportunities, I have a way! I can make Yiqu attack Qin in the north, and take advantage of Qin's troops to attack Yiqu in the north, and when the domestic troops are empty, I will mobilize the kings to immediately send troops to attack Qin! What does Su Zi think?"
"This plan is very good, and it will work!" Su Qin praised.
Gongsun Yan resigned from Su Qin, and according to the plan, he made people release rumors, and talked about the shortcomings of Qi people in the name of Qin people. The news soon spread to the Qi country, and the Qi people had some words that Kuangzhang was right and some who were wrong, and there were endless arguments for a while, and the news was spreading. Kuang Zhang was a student of Mencius, and at this time Mencius was very influential in speaking in the Qi State and even in the Seven Kingdoms. Mencius cherished Kuang Zhang, and had debated Kuang Zhang for this matter before, and this time because the whole world was discussing Kuang Zhang's affairs, he had to speak even louder.
One day Mencius was walking down the street, and someone happened to ask him for his opinion on Kuang Zhang, and Mencius said in a loud voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me today, if you think I am right, you will spread my words today all over the world, so as to block the mouths of the people of the world, and don't talk about this matter anymore!"
"It's okay for Meng Shengren to say, let's all listen!" someone next to him shouted.
Mencius raised his voice and said:
"Unfilial piety often has the following situations: lazy and unwilling to earn money to support their parents; gambling and losing all their wealth and unable to support their parents; stingy with money, greedy for wine, favoring wives and children and ignoring their parents; doing bad things to disgrace their parents; and being brave and fighting and endangering the safety of their parents, these are all manifestations of unfilial piety. Kuang Zhang does not belong to any of the above situations, let's talk about it? Kuang Zhang does not talk to his father, and he is angry with his father, which is the normal human condition, and it is also due to his mother's sake! Think about it, if you and I were replaced, and such an unfortunate thing happened in the family, would there be no resentment in your heart? As for the reburial of his mother, I also asked Kuang Zhang, and he said that if he wanted to rebury his mother, he had to agree to the father's consent, and his father did not agree to be buried with his mother before he died, so how could Kuang Zhang make the decision to rebury his mother privately? ”
"That's a good thing, it makes sense!"
"Meng Shengren's words are good, or Meng Shengren is right!" "How can you believe the words of the Qin people, it must be the shame of the Qin people who remember Sanqiu and slander my Qi general!"
The news soon reached the ears of the king of Chu, and someone told the king of Chu that the two countries of Qi and Qin were at odds with each other, and sooner or later there would be a war, and the king of Chu laughed when he heard it.
Gongsun Yan sent someone to bring a generous gift to the king of Yiqu, and told the king of Yiqu:
"In the past, the rhino head attacked Yiqu only because he was ordered by the king of Qin. After the victory, the rhino head did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, because he respected the king of Yiqu and wanted to make friends with the king of Yiqu, so he immediately returned to the court, and it was because of this incident that the king of Qin blamed him for being selfish, so he expelled him from the state of Qin!"
King Yiqu was overjoyed when he heard this. Gongsun Yan's envoy then told King Yiqu about the six kingdoms of the joint attack on Qin, and agreed with King Yiqu about attacking Qin behind his back.
