warring states careerist

Chapter 493
Shi finished his judgment, and said: "Put yourself in the place, Wei Jian seems to have inherited the hegemony of Marquis Wen, but there are fires on all sides. There are priorities, so Zhao Guo's affairs are the first, and Chen Cai's assistance is the second. , Fang Xiqin is the third, and it may be Sishang's turn to be the fourth."

"Wei State must have the power to attack, so it will think about Sishang. At this time, there are fires on all sides, and it is still difficult for him to protect himself. How can he think about Sishang?"

Gong Zaoye thought about it and asked, "As you said, can Wei Guo also ignore it?"

Shi smiled and said: "As long as the change in Fei country is within the controllable range, it will not arouse too much reaction. That's why we can use Fei country as a rehearsal, watch with cold eyes, wait for the opportunity to intervene, and let the world People learn from history and know what to do in the future.”

Qin Hualin hummed, patted the table with his fingers and said, "In this case, only Qi State can interfere."

After thinking about it, he replied: "This is almost inevitable. The Tian family just moved Jiang Qi away this year, and the civil strife in the Tian family has ended. Now we need a big victory to gather people's hearts."

"Back then, we blocked Lu from attacking Lu. Qi couldn't open up a situation on Lu's side, and Lu had always been worried about Qi's entry into Qin."

"This time about Fei Guo, Lu Guo, as the Duke of Zhou, is next to Fei Guo, so he will definitely be extremely panicked. At this time, as long as Qi Guo has an excuse, Lu Guo may even allow Qi Guo to enter the country and withdraw from the non-aggressive alliance. , come against us."

"It turns out that Qi is strong and Lu is weak, and Lu can join the non-offensive alliance to defend itself. Now, it seems that we are going to scare Luhou, and we will inevitably jump back."

Hearing Shi said that he would scare Luhou, everyone laughed.Thinking about it, Fei Guo said that it was also separated from Ji Sun, the third Huan of Lu State, and Lu State was next to him. If he was not nervous, it would be impossible.

But if you want to come to Luhou, you won't be so stupid as to be the sword and shield of Qi State, and help Qi State send troops in the early stage.At most, in the later stage, if the Mo family loses and can take advantage of it, they may send troops, but once the Qi State loses, Lu State's attitude will become ambiguous. Survive in the gap between the three.

Shi thought about the situation of the Fei Kingdom, and said: "If the name is not right, the words will not go well. If the Qi Kingdom wants to send troops, the premise is that the nobles of the Fei Kingdom elect the monarch, and the other monarch does not recognize Ji Sunluan, and then announces that he will withdraw from the non-offensive alliance. , please come to the country of Qi to quell the chaos. We will naturally support the real regime of the country of Fei when the time comes, so this battle will be within the controllable range."

"However, in my opinion, we have to change from being passive to taking the initiative in this battle. If Qi State sends troops, then we should concentrate our forces and break through the Great Wall of Qi State."

"One shows our military power. If we can break through the Great Wall, within ten years, as long as we don't want to be enemies of the world, the princes will not dare to move us lightly."

"Secondly, we can reform the land in the places we occupy, and return it to Qi State afterwards, but leave the seeds for the future."

"Three...the State of Yue is leaving, and the land of the East China Sea on Sishang has changed from a triangle to a tug-of-war. Then we must take advantage of the opportunity of the State of Yue to shrink down to the south, so that the State of Qi will be unable to get involved, and tell the State of Qi not to think about Sishang and the East China Sea. .”

The king of Yue could no longer hold on in the north. The Mohist family infiltrated all day long. After being captured, he lost all prestige. The nobles of Wu State became stronger and stronger in the foundation.

Go back now, give up the hegemony that does not correspond to your own strength, and shrink your strategy, maybe you can still live a good life for a few years.Moving the capital to Langya was the bridgehead for Goujian to fight for hegemony, but now he has no power to fight for hegemony, and in Langya he would be overconfident.

Since the people of Yue want to leave, the situation where the Mohists of the Yue State join forces to defend the north to prevent the State of Qi from going south will become a one-man show of the Mohist School before leaving.

It neither destroys the country nor cede land, but returns after occupying it, quickly launches land reform in the occupied place, and takes it back after the old nobles return.

If you really want to fight Qi Guo with all your strength, you can either win quickly and survive the interference of various countries, otherwise it is best to win and leave.

The time to sweep the world has not yet come, and the conditions are not mature enough.

Now the fruits of education more than ten years ago have just been reaped, and we still need to accumulate enough cadres and talents for a few more years, otherwise it would be meaningless to seize the world. To implement some laws and policies, the grassroots say how the people believe it, and I am afraid that we will face the situation of the end of the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Huali mentioned that Wei Guo sent envoys to question Wu Qiqi about Sishang, and said: "It seems that Wei Guo has also noticed the movement of Chu State, is this to test our attitude?"

Shi spread his hands and said with a smile: "There is no need to test, the envoy of Chu State has already arrived, Wei Jian must be muttering in his heart. He must be in a hurry now, he is anxious to solve Zhao State's affairs first, the sooner the better, so that he can spare his hands to guard against Chu State with us."

"As far as the Three Jin Dynasties are concerned, we must first settle down when fighting against the outside world. In the struggle between Mr. Zhao and Wei Jian, Wei Jian had eaten the candy ordered by the prince, and now he must be looking forward to the same situation in Zhao Guo."

"There is a chance to split Zhao. Don't forget, Zhao still has the legal principle of Dai. From the time of Zhao Xiangzi and Zhao Jianzi, Zhao people began to covet Dai. If Zhao can be divided into two, Wei China will definitely do its best. This is a great opportunity."

"Ximen Leopard is in Ye, but he has talent. Ye forces Handan in the north and suppresses Zhongmou in the south. How can the State of Wei let go of this opportunity?"

In addition to judging reality, Shi also recalled history.In history, in the rebellion of Prince Zhao, Wei Guo besieged Handan, but failed to take it down, and miscalculated Handan's defense.

But now, the Mo family's planning over the years has made Wei Guo more impatient than in history, and this time he will definitely do his best to solve Zhao Guo's affairs.If it is not resolved, Qin State will have Wu Qi, Chu State will have the Mohists to help, and Wei State will really be surrounded on all sides.

According to Wu Qi's plan back then, the State of Wei should continue to oppress the State of Qin. If the Weihe Plain could be owned, then the State of Wei would have a solid rear.

At that time, the state of Wei had a cultural advantage, and the Xihe school comprehensively crushed the state of Qin, which was culturally backward, and gathered talents.

At that time, the State of Wei had institutional advantages, and a large number of Qin people fled to the State of Wei to settle down during the Xihe Revolution.

At that time, Wei State also had a military advantage. As long as Wei Hou could trust Wu Qi and agree with the Mohist proposal to use the power of the Mohists to maintain the balance of the Central Plains and exclude Qin from the Central Plains Treaty, things would be promising.

I don't know if Wei Jian regrets the current situation, but even if he regrets it now, Wei Guo has no chance to implement this policy again.

The cultural advantages of the Xihe School were offset by the rebellion against Mo Mo, the institutional advantages were offset by the transformation of Shengchuo, and the military advantage was left behind. Wu Qi, who compiled and trained martial arts, went to Qin, and in the end he lost all three advantages, even if he regretted it. no more.

In the past few years, in order to prevent Zhao Guo from intervening in the Central Plains, there were many conflicts with Zhao Guo, and by virtue of Zhao Hou's final brother and his own heirs, he clearly intervened in Zhao Guo's internal affairs. Black: Solve the problem of Zhao State, become the leader of the Three Jin Dynasty, and expand in the Central Plains.

This is a question of the overall route, not something that can be decided on a whim. Wei Guo has been following this route for the past ten years, and Wei Jian must have his own strategic judgment and conception.

In this way, Wei Guo could not just slap his head and ignore Zhao Guo's affairs, but gave up the strategic plan that had lasted for ten years and attacked Sishang first.

After this judgment was made clear, everyone agreed, and Qin Huali said: "In this way, the root cause of the solution to Fei Guo's matter lies in Handan and Zhongmou. Hu Feizi's side is doing well, and Fei Guo's side can be solved. Control the situation. If you don’t do well there, the situation will be ugly.”

Shi Shi agreed, and said again: "That's why I keep saying that the matter of Fei State is not the matter of Fei State. To solve it, it must be resolved in Zhao State, not in Fei State."

"Those nobles in the Fei Kingdom can be destroyed with two righteous divisions. Counting the troops from the Qi Kingdom, a thousand times [-] people can stand up to the sky. One wave of defeat, gather seven divisions and quickly go northward to break through the Qi Great Wall. It can be solved in three months. .”

"Therefore, no matter how Fei Guo argues, we just need to watch first, and see what kind of people will jump out when the people choose such a change in the future, and what experience they will have to learn from."

"Hu Feizi did a good job in Handan and was able to defend it. Qu will be able to choose the right time to go south and help Prince Zhang quell Zhao's internal turmoil. Then the break between Wei and Zhao is inevitable. Even if Wei wants to interfere in Sishang, it will take a few years Time. A few years is enough for us to fill the vacancy after the Yue Kingdom went south and integrate all the forces in Sishang."

Hu Feizi was sent north to Handan before, and the general route has been determined.After all, thousands of miles away, the Mo family only decides the strategy in Sishang, and the specific operation depends on the people there. It is impossible to rely on fast horses to command remotely, which will delay the opportunity of the war.

Now that the matter had been finalized and it was determined that Fei Guo's affairs would be resolved in Handan, everyone worked together to draft a letter to Hu Feizi, officially announcing the strategy to Hu Feizi.

That is to say: Once the dispute between the sons of the Zhao State starts, the State of Wei is likely to send a large army to intervene, and Hu Feizi will organize manpower to defend Handan by relying on the defensive techniques of the Mohists.

Gong Zizhang has internal and external troubles, and some Zhao nobles support the Gong Zichao. Wei's military power has been greatly improved under the changes in the past few years, so it must be extremely difficult.

When Gongzizhang was in the most difficult time, the Mohists in Gaoliu should temporarily solve the harassment on the grassland, go south quickly to help Gongzizhang solve internal and external troubles, and take advantage of the danger to ask Gongzizhang for spoils—as long as the part that was solved The slaves and child servants of the aristocrats who supported the Gongzi Dynasty did not take any land from the Zhao Kingdom, built the cities of Yunzhong and Jiuyuan, and armed colonized the Hetao land that was still in the hands of the Hu people.

This point is actually a hidden evil intention. Once the Mohists colonize Hetao, Jiuyuan, Yunzhong and other places with armed forces, it means that Zhao Guo’s way to the north will be blocked, and Zhao Guo can only choose to break out of the encirclement in the Central Plains. Intensified the contradictions within the Sanjin.

Once the young master Zhang agrees to the Mohist's request that is absolutely not excessive, it means that reconciliation between Wei and Zhao is absolutely impossible in the future, and Zhao Guo has no choice but to find a way in the Central Plains: Especially the land that was originally culturally blank, it is impossible to take it back, and there is no result in going north. If you don't seek the Central Plains, it is equivalent to Zhao Guo giving up the ambition of being a great power.

Wei Guo's bottom line for the Three-Jin Alliance is Zhao Guo's non-interference in the Central Plains.And once the Chaos of Prince Zhao is over, Zhao's bottom line for the Sanjin Alliance can only be that the three join forces to share profits in the Central Plains.

The bottom line contradiction between the two is completely irreconcilable. This completely abolished the most terrible Sanjin alliance in the early Warring States period, and the Mo family's situation in Sishang is much better.Once Wei and Zhao completely turned their backs and the armed colonization of Yunzhong Jiuyuan succeeded, the Mohists could start to solve the Song State.

As long as the matter of the Song State is resolved, and the king of Chu dies again, the conservatives and reformists of the Chu State will have internal strife, and the Mohists will take advantage of the opportunity to disrupt the world. At that time, even if the princes of the world interfere, there is no need to be afraid.

After everyone carefully checked the agreement, and verified that it was correct, they sealed it and handed it to the secretary to organize it into a secret letter and send it to Handan immediately.

After these major matters were basically settled, Grandson Gao said another confidential matter.

"On the other side of Zhongshan Country, Yuechi secretly came to our side. I am afraid that Zhongshan Country has the intention of restoring the country. Over the years, we horse dealers have been in contact with them and have been secretly supporting them. It seems that they also feel the opportunity Mature."

Startled, Shi asked, "The music pool?"

Grandson Gao had some strange smiles on his face, he couldn't tell whether it was ridicule or sadness, and said: "The son of Leshu, the grandson of Leyang. Wei Jiang Leyang ate his father's meat in Lechi, and the king of Zhongshan killed his father to make it. Soup. Looks like he chose to be loyal to the man who made his father's soup."
