Chapter 773

People who have learned these principles understand the truth, but when they actually do it, they are often too far from the truth.

Wei Jian is not ignorant of the theory of kings that rulers should understand as Gong Shucuo said.

After repeated persuasion by the uncle Zuo, Wei Jian also understood that if he was for the sake of the community and the ancestral temple, he could only bear this humiliating responsibility.

As for the future evaluation, Wei Jian understands that people in the world ultimately depend on the results.

If everything he has done can lead to the rise of Wei and the pacification of the world in the future, then his evaluation in later generations must be extremely high.

At that time, it will be quite talented, bear the burden of humiliation, recognize oneself, shrink strategically, recuperate, and gain a respite for Wei Guo to develop and temporarily avoid the edge.

If everything you do is of no use in the future, but instead is annexed by other princes or Sishang, then your evaluation in later generations must be very low.

At that time, it will be short-sighted, ignorant of the enemy, allowing Sishang to rise, and not taking the only opportunity to weaken Sishang and so on.

In the end, what depends on the result is the result. As for the third possibility, Wei Jian understands that it is impossible to exist in this world of great controversy.

Either annex the world, or be annexed by others, this is the general trend.

Wei Jian thought for a long time, and sighed: "Xiangbang also knows Sishang's ambitions, and has always known Sishang's various remarks since Mozi's death and Heze Huimeng. The enemy, but at this time the princes can't be of one mind and have their own minds."

Gong Shucuo also sighed: "Why did the princes ever have one heart? The Kuiqiu alliance, is it the princes' one heart? It is nothing more than the fact that Qi Huan is powerful enough to overwhelm Chu, and the small countries in the Central Plains have to follow; the alliance of practicing soil is nothing more than Jin Wen's power If it is big enough to overwhelm the Central Plains, all the small countries will have to follow."

"Your Majesty knows that Sishang will eventually be a serious problem, don't Qi, Zhao, Qin, and Chu know?"

"Your Majesty thinks to himself, if Sishang is weak in interfering with Song this time, but the people of Chu have suffered heavy losses, and civil strife breaks out, your Majesty will not attack Chu because the Chu people have contributed a lot in the anti-Mexican war. ?"

Wei Jian remained silent.

Gong Shucuo said: "This is the same principle. Your Majesty can't do this, so the Qin people, the Chu people, the Han people, and the Zhao people can't do the same."

"The world is in chaos, and it is bound to be one. In a world of great strife, princes contend for supremacy. Such a solution is already doomed. All countries must have their own ideas, so how can they work together?"

"Only if Sishang continues to be aggressive, will it be possible for all countries to understand that Sishang's threat is the top priority, and it will be possible."

"In the past, Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan, and today Sishang occupies the land of Song Dynasty. It is the same reason. One day what Sishang does will make the world understand, and the harm will be done."

Wei Jian nodded, agreed with Gong Shucuo's statement, and finally decided on the strategy of Wei's comprehensive strategic contraction.

…………

A few days later, the state of Wei began to publicize the anti-Mo proclamation of the emperor's father Yueling, and sent envoys to communicate with Han Chuqi, making a gesture of interfering with the state of Song.

Rumors circulated in the capital that Wei and Sishang were about to go to war. Soldiers began to gather in the capital, peasants and soldiers began to be recruited, and the Xihe area also sent envoys three times a day to supervise the defense of Xihe to prevent the Qin people from attacking.

At this juncture, Hanhou's envoy finally came to Weidu.

After some comprehensible conversations, the secret conversation between the envoy Han Hou, Wei Jian, and Gong Shucuo began.

The envoy Han didn't know Wei's strategy, and still thought that Wei wanted to go to war with Sishang, so before coming again, Hanhou gave the plan, which was to take advantage of this time when Wei urgently needed South Korea's support, and set out conditions to encroach on Zheng. .

However, Wei Jian had already followed Gong Shucuo's suggestion, so Wei Guo took the initiative in the negotiation, which was the bottom line that South Korea could not know.

The bottom line of Wei State is Weishui.

Zheng Feng is more promiscuous, and there is a song saying: "Qin and Wei, Fang Huan Huan Xi."Scholars and women, Fang Bingxi.The woman said, "Will you watch?" The scholar said, "That's it." "Let's go and watch!"Weishi and the woman, Yiqi joked with each other and gave them a spoonful of medicine.

The reform of Zheng State was earlier, and the people became rich earlier. The Weishui River Basin is the essence of Zheng State, with fertile land and a large population.

The Weishui River Basin can be regarded as the birthplace of folk vernacular, and the foundation of this origin is that the people once had a rich material foundation.

Using Weishui as a natural dividing line can avoid the crisscross situation between Wei and Zhao, and temporarily suppress the conflict between Wei and Han.

The South Korean envoys didn't know what the Wei people were thinking, so they first poured out a lot of bitterness, then talked a lot about the enmity between Zheng and Han, and finally talked about the threat of Sishang's envoy Zheng Guo to Wei and Han.

Zheng Guo was no longer a big threat at this time, but in order to gain the support of Wei Guo, South Korea said: "Zheng, Zeng Baye. Although he is declining now, he has repeatedly won victories in Huangchi and Negative Millet."

"Mohism, the study of military training and conspiracies, if Zheng Guo comes from Si, it will be strong. In the past 20 years, Wei and Han took half of Zheng's land. The people who hated Zheng often recalled that surrendering to Wei today is nothing more than an expedient measure."

"today……"

When the South Korean envoy was about to continue talking, Wei Chi suddenly said: "Good. Zheng Guo is dead on Sishang."

The South Korean envoy didn't react for a while, and was about to continue to say some reasons, but he was stunned.

It took a long time to realize what Wei Jian said, and he was terrified, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

Zheng Guo has always been a buffer between Wei and Han. Wei Guo has not allowed South Korea to annex Zheng Guo, and has always used Zheng Guo to suppress South Korea.

This time when they came to Wei State, South Korea's envoys wanted to take advantage of Wei State's hype about going to war with Sishang, so as to blackmail Wei State and let Wei State allow South Korea to annex part of Zheng State's land.

Who would have thought that he had organized a lot of words, and Wei Jian directly agreed after speaking half a sentence...

The envoy Han understood that his eloquence might not be able to change the king's mind with a single word, and he thought that President Wei Guo's love had already moved Tun Zheng's mind, so he hurriedly said: "What the king said is very true, the country is small but there are two. The heart can die."

Wei Chi said: "This matter needs to be kept secret and must not be leaked, otherwise the people of Chu will interfere."

"To turn against Mo and against Sishang is the great plan of the world. The Mohist family will bring disaster to the world, and the world will surely perish. Zheng Guo, however, is close to Sishang, seeking the way to perish himself."

"This time the alliance should be questioned. During the alliance, their crimes were examined and their sacrifices were saved, but their country was to be governed."

"This is not for the land of Zheng State, but for the people of Zheng State not to be bewitched by the Mohists, and also for the suffering of the people of Zheng State without swords and soldiers. This is in accordance with the way of heaven."

"You can come back quickly. I have a letter to Hanhou. This matter must not be leaked. We will meet in a month's time and attack the people of Zheng."

The specific division of interests cannot be negotiated with a mere envoy, and more negotiations will be needed for the subsequent matters, but Wei Guo has the advantage.

The alliance after a month is just to hide people's eyes and ears.

At that time, everyone in the world thought that Wei State was going to interfere with Song State, and Chu State would send envoys to participate in the follow-up alliance. State, Wei and Han carve up the land of Zheng State.

If you want to commit a crime, there is no reason to worry about it. The important thing is not the crime, but the attitude of Wei Guo.

Now time is on the side of Wei State, Wei State has already started to mobilize soldiers, both Han and Chu will think that the purpose of Wei State's mobilization is to start a war against Sishang, and they are not wary of the change of Wei State's overall strategy.

Wei has taken the lead in carve up Zheng Guo.

…………

When Wei Han conspired.

Liuzhi, who has become the commander of one side of the Sishang armies, has already come to Chuqiu in Song Dynasty.

Surrounded by mulberry forests, Chuqiu is one of the regions with the most developed embroidery in the Song Dynasty and even in the world.

In addition to being famous for embroidery, it is also a historic site with special significance, and it is also called a historical site at this time.

Six Fingers stood vigorously on the rain-prayer platform where Shang Tang prayed for rain. Once there was a huge dance of mulberry forest with thousands of people. Now such a large-scale group gymnastics performance has not been held in the Song Dynasty for many years, and even if it is held, it will not be held. It is a shortened version.

It used to be a large-scale dance that required human sacrifices and blood sacrifices of slaves, but now it is just a small dance that requires only a hundred people to perform.

Liuzhi stood on the platform for praying for rain, looked at this historic site and sighed: "Isn't this the place where Shang Tang cut his hair and hands?"

The legion representative said: "Yes, it is rumored that there was a severe drought that year, and Shang Tang wanted to use himself as a sacrifice to worship God and pray for rain."

Six fingers held up the horsewhip, pointing to the place where Song Rengong's family sacrificed all the year round and said with a smile: "It's just a way to fool the people. The ancient wizards knew the will of heaven and when it would rain, but they couldn't spread these secrets to the people. Hiding it makes the people think that they can communicate with God, monopolize the theocracy, and convince the people."

"The giant said back then that the sacred things of the five emperors and three generations deceived the common people in the world."

"Today we don't pray for rain, but lead the people to dig ditches, so that we don't have to worry about drought or flood, which is far better than that of Shang Tang."

"If Shang Tang really wanted to benefit the people, he would be pleased. If he was just showing off and fooling the people with God, then there is nothing he can do about it today."

The few people behind laughed, and even ancient saints like Shang Tang didn't have any awe in their eyes.

This is the border of the mulberry forest.

This is the tribal settlement where the ancestors of the Chu people lived in the Central Plains in ancient times.

This is another important sacrificial place of Chu State abroad.

This is where Shang Tang prayed for rain.

This is the Central Plains version of Tu Shan in the story of Dayu and Tu Shan's female beauty, but the version recognized by the Mohists for the legal principles of Dayu and Yue State is in Yuedi.

This is the place where the Sanglin Ding of the Song Dynasty used to be sacrificed.

This is the place where Song State worshiped Wu Ding's achievements in defeating barbarians.

In the prosperity of Shang, Wuwu was second to Chuqiu.

Weihe, a member of the scene, was ordered by Yin to be salty.

How can I get that Tushan girl to communicate with Taisang.

This is a sacred land, at least once.

At this time, on this land that once had a sacred flavor, there are more than ten thousand soldiers who are determined to benefit the world, the people are the gods, and they believe that the will of heaven is the will of the people.
