Spring and Autumn I Am King

ps: There is only one big chapter today

"Although Wei's territory is small, it also has twenty counties, with densely populated cities, towns and farms, with a population of no less than several hundred thousand. The chariots and horses are galloping, and there are three armies. It is a pity that the Wei family has been acting on Zhao’s face since the Houma alliance, and has been assigned by the so-called monarch’s order, and I am ashamed of the Wei family in private.”

Chen Heng was called the mediator of this peace talks, but in fact, from the very beginning, it became his speech to persuade Qin and Wei to join the team.

"However, if the Wei family is willing to live under Zhao Wuxi, he will be able to stop his ambitions? I'm afraid not, because the terrain determines that the east of the river is connected to Shangdang, the west is bounded by the great river, the south of the river is outside, and the north is blocked by Taiyuan. The land of rivers and mountains. Now there are only three ministers left in Jin. The relationship between Zhao, Wei and Han is like a heart-to-heart. If the three families are not balanced, then the Zhao clan is dominant and annexes Wei and Han. The Zhao clan has already surrounded the Wei clan from within the Jin state. , all the time, I don't want to seize the stronghold of the rivers and mountains and assassinate Wei Qing. already?"

In history, Chen Chengzi, who successfully laid the foundation of the Chen family's generation of Qi, has been crushed by Zhao Wuxi all his life, but at the age of 30, he is enough to be the pillar of the family. As a long-time opponent, Chen Heng knew Zhao Wuxi very well, but this time, he was right.

Seeing Wei Ju nodded in agreement, he continued to persuade him: "Now there are only two choices in front of Zi Teng, the first is to forget the revenge of killing his father and bow to Zhao Wuxi, but follow Wei, From the lessons of Ju and Zhu, it can be seen that once the Wei family shows weakness, Zhao Wuxi will inevitably intensify. The land is limited, Zhao Qing's desires are unlimited, the day of the Wei family's demise is not far away, and Zi can only be a person who has no power and no power in the end. The puppet of the status, are you willing?"

Wei Ju was of course not reconciled, but the danger of resisting the Zhao family seemed to be even greater, and the two choices were very difficult.

However, Chen Heng had already changed his target, and said to Pu, the eldest son of Qin State's great concubine: "And this will lead to serious consequences. Zhao Wuxi will definitely use the name of the Marquis of Jin to tirelessly transform the Wei family's territory into himself. Then, with Hedong as the base, it will expand in all directions. When the Zhao clan cuts off the road, the Han clan will cut it in two and let him send; With the states of Wei, Lu, and Song already vassalized by Zhao, the Zhao clan can establish hegemony in the Central Plains at any time, and after that, they will definitely send troops to attack the Qin state."

"If you can get to Hexi, across the big river, Qin will not be afraid of the Zhao family." Zipu was not to be outdone.

Chen Heng shook his head and said, "The reason why Zhao clan did not dare to send troops to attack Qin directly is because Wei clan is in the middle, and Wei clan can be regarded as a barrier to the east of Qin country. Once Wei clan is annexed by Zhao clan, with the help of Longmen and Puban Send soldiers to cross the river, and then recruit barbarian chariots and horses from Shangjun to drive straight into the hinterland of Qin. With the power of the Qin army, can the 100,000 Zhao soldiers be stopped? The Zhao clan can gradually invade Qin land like silkworms eating mulberry leaves, until they approach Yongdu. So far, this is also the reason why the boy worries about the elders."

However, even though Chen Heng's tongue was eloquent, he couldn't ignore the reason for the war between Qin and Wei: Hexi.

Zipu was unmoved, and looked at Wei Ju's face again, but there was still no smile at all.

"From the time of Duke Mu, Hexi belonged to the Qin state. Those who deny this are all Qin's enemies."

The stubbornness and stubbornness of the Qin people is evident.

Chen Heng felt a deep headache, bowed his hands to Zipu, looked at Wei Ju again, and said, "I have a way to make Qin and Wei win."

After the snowfall, the Qin people's plan to attack Hexi in one go was unsuccessful. Zipu had to go back anyway, so he simply let Chen Heng play to see how far he could do it.

The Wei family was in a dilemma, Hexi was forced by the Qin people, and Hedong was forced by the Zhao family. There was nothing to do for a while. In fact, they could only count on Chen Heng to persuade the Qin people to retreat, so that they could breathe.

So Zipu and Wei Ju both needed Chen Heng's mediation, so they looked at Chen Heng together and asked him, "Then what clever plan does Chen Zi have to solve this dead end?"

Chen Heng chose the best time to intervene, because of the size of Qi State and the allies or quasi-allies that both Qin and Wei had made, they had a heavier right of advice.

Chen Heng knew that success or failure depended on this, he took a deep breath and said, "Wei took Hexi and Hedong out of Jin into Qin, and as the minister of Qin, you can win both!"

...

"Wei Kingdom... break out of Jin and enter Qin..."

Wei Ju's eyes widened, shocked by this crazy idea, but Zipu's face became interesting.

Chen Heng took the initiative to ask, "The Wei family has offended Qin a lot. I don't know if Qin is willing to accept it."

After seeing Zipu pondering for a moment, his cold face turned into a smile: "Speaking of the Wei family and Qin also have a relationship, more than a hundred years ago, Jin State made Wei Shouyu pretend to be in order to bring back the taxis that had surrendered to Qin State. Because Wei Yi betrayed Jin and surrendered to Qin, the people of Jin deliberately arrested his wife and children and let Shouyu escape alone. Shouyu fled to Qin and offered to offer Wei Yi to Qin, and won the trust of the former emperor Qin Kang, Wei Shouyu secretly contacted the people Yes, and finally escaped and returned to Jin..."

"Every time I think about this, I feel very regretful. The Wei family has come out in large numbers. If Wei Shouyu can return to Qin, how can Qin State be at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Jin State? If Wei Qing is willing to bring Hedong and Hexi into Qin State, the widow king It will definitely be overjoyed, just as Duke Mu of Qin won Yuyu and Bailixi, and Helu won Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, and he is willing to wait for the seat of the Zuo Shu-Chief."

In Qin State, Zuo Shuchang was equivalent to Jin State's second minister, and this condition was much stronger than the treatment given to Zhiguo when Qin State accepted Zhishi.

The reason why Zipu was moved by Chen Heng's suggestion was because they had seen Wei Wuzu's fighting power last time. Now all the princes in the world have followed Zhao's tactics and arms. Among them, Wei's is at the forefront. The Qin cavalry, together with the Wei Wu pawns, might be able to fight against the elites of the Zhao clan.

What's more, in this way, Duke Mu of Qin did not realize his wish to advance to the east, but he could easily realize it, and the Qin army could also reach the western foot of Taihang, which made him excited.

To this end, he was even willing to make certain concessions to Wei.

"As for Hexi...Wei can keep some cities along the river to communicate with Hedong."

Wei Ju has calmed down from the shock, and he pondered the stakes.

Chen Heng said without losing the opportunity: "I think about the two nobles in private. If you attack each other, you will lose both, and if you are in harmony, you can avoid being defeated by the Zhao clan. In my opinion, the matter of entering Qin can be discussed in the long run. Before that, it is better to let it go. Fight, make Qin, Qi, Wei, and Zheng allies to form an alliance to fight against the Zhao clan!"

In Chen Heng's plan, from Shaohai to Xiqi, Qin, Qi, Zheng and Wei will unite horizontally from east to west to fight against the Zhao family, so it is called "Lianheng"!

This will be the beginning of the second anti-Zhao alliance following the encirclement of the net by the ministers of Jin and the Zhao clan of Qi.

But Wei Ju was not the one who was overtaken by the so-called family feud and prospects. After a battle between heaven and man, he chose to refuse.

...

"The Book of Zhou says: If there is no end, what will happen to the man? If you don't cut anything, you will use an axe. This means that if you don't think clearly beforehand, there will be serious trouble later. Now I think about it, in addition to protecting the clan, nothing more than It is to let the people survive the famine without being involved in the war. The foundation of making the people stable is to choose diplomatic relations. If the diplomatic relations are chosen properly, the people of the Wei family will be stable; gully."

Wei Ju is not confused. He knows that his decision will mean the fate of the Wei family. Once he agrees to defect from Jin and return to Qin, it will undoubtedly reignite the war within Jin. war...

This is not something the Wei family can afford. Even if the so-called "Lianheng" succeeds in the end, it will only benefit from Qin Qi. By then, the Wei family's Hedong will probably become a ruin under the flames of war.

Since he would suffer great losses no matter what, he would rather bow his head to the Zhao clan completely and completely, and only want to save a corner of the Wei clan before the Sixth Rebellion.

Taoyuan has formed a feud, the Houma alliance is still there, Zhao Wuxi will not brazenly exterminate the Wei family, he still has a trace of fantasy.

"Many thanks for Chen Zi's mediation and the great concubine's kindness, but the head of the Wei family is newly mourned, and his hair and feathers are broken, so he can't fly high. If we say today, it's just as if Wei Ju didn't hear it."

He ignored Zipu's gloomy and darkened face, and prepared to have someone turn the carriage and return to Shaoliang. He finally gathered up his courage and planned to return to Hedong to have a good talk with Zhao Wuxi...

"Ziteng stay!" Chen Heng had a car chase after him, his hands held high to show that he was not hostile.

"I still have a few secret words to tell Zi Teng, can you let me pedal?"

Chen Heng's appearance of being unable to tie a chicken with his pair of hands does not pose a threat to Wei Ju, who is tall and big, and Wei Ju also doubts that he is there.

"Now, what else does Zichang have to say to me?"

"What I want to say is..." Chen Heng came over, his face was very close, Wei Ju could even smell the salty sweat on his body and his heavy breathing, he suddenly felt bad, A shock, fists slammed out.

But Chen Heng moved faster than he imagined, but Wei Ju's fist was empty, and before he could draw his sword, a bright dagger had already touched his neck.

Wei Ju was shocked, but saw that Chen Heng's previous appearance of a weak gentleman had disappeared. He quickly moved his hands and feet to Wei Ju's back to prevent Wei's master from risking his life to rescue. Chen Bao and Chen Zhuang also opened their bows. The arrow aimed at Rong You, who was desperately trying.

"Put down your weapons, don't move!"

"I've been tricked!" Wei Ju shouted and was fooled. Looking at Chen Heng again, he smiled when he saw that he succeeded: "Now, can Wei Qing order the Wei family to abandon Jin and return to Qin?"

...

It was 60 years ago, when the Luan Ying Rebellion that shocked the world occurred in Jin: Although the Luan family was exiled, the family power in the country still existed. Moreover, Luan and Wei are family friends, and Luan Ying and Wei Shu's personal friendship is even more intimate. Therefore, Luan Ying ventured back to China for revenge with the help of Qi Zhuanggong. On the one hand, he gathered his family members, and on the other hand, he secretly contacted Wei Shu, and Wei Shu was willing to attack Luan's family. Launch a mutiny.

However, on the day of the chaos, Wei Shu, who was here, had also gathered his family and was about to fight alongside Luan Ying, but an uninvited guest came. Fan Yang went straight to Wei's house. After being tricked into pedaling, he suddenly showed his dagger and threatened Wei Shu, asking him to order the Wei army to defect. As a result, Luan Ying, who fought alone, finally failed...

This is a history that Wei's descendants are indignant about when they mention it, but Wei Ju did not expect that this scene of the year was repeated in Hexi.

The hijacking was something Wei Ju had not expected before. Chen Heng, who looked weak, was actually a master of swordsmanship. After he was kidnapped, the soldiers prepared by the Wei family were still a hundred paces away, and the Qin people in ambush had already rushed out. The three of them were surrounded.

The Wei people chose to avoid the rat, so Wei Ju was taken back to the Qin army camp. He was called a guest and was actually a prisoner. He completely lost his bargaining capital.

Previously, Wei Ju shied away from the plan of Chen Heng and the great concubine of Qin, but now he had to send someone back to Shaoliang to report the implementation.

The old master was assassinated, and the new master was kidnapped. Within a few days, Shaoliang and Wang Guan’s Wei army had no choice but to open the city gate and let the Qin people in.

Under Chen Heng's persuasion, Zipu was also rational, and did not want to retaliate against Wei's crusade for taking advantage of Qin's state mourning and killing a large number of Qin people. He knew that if Qin wanted to defend Hexi, or even continue to advance to Shangjun and Hedong, it would have to rely on the Wei clan and these reliable Wei Wu soldiers.

So Wei Ju was allowed to move freely in the Qin army tent, and he also participated as one of the representatives of the three parties during the negotiation. Zipu apologized repeatedly for the abduction of him, and invited him to sit at the table.

Chen Heng has already planned the future for this alliance: "Qin, Qi, Zheng, and Wei gather together on the Huan River in Xinzheng, communicate with each other, and make an oath to kill the white horse. If the Zhao clan continues to persecute the Wei clan , then Qi and Qin will restrain Zhao from the east and west, and Zheng Guo will cut off the contact between Zhao and his allies. If Zhao attack Qi and Zheng, Qin and Wei will also contain Zhao's army. We can also seek Yan, Zhongshan, etc. to deal with Zhao. If the clan is convinced and dissatisfied, then convince the state of Chu or Wu to join in, and then gather the forces of the world to attack the clan of Zhao, then Zhao Wuxi will definitely not dare to invade the princes from Jizhou..."

He said to Zipu Changbai: "Of course, the leader of the alliance also asks the concubine to take charge for the time being."

The attitudes of Chu and Wu countries are uncertain. In order to compliment Qin, Chen's family asked Qin people to contain Zhao's family. He is a leader of the alliance with a false name. Naturally, he will not give up the position of "horizontal leader", and Zipu does not dare to accept this position. , shied away and gave the name to the young monarch of the Qin state.

Wei Ju, who was too careless and unhappy after being kidnapped, had lost weight, of course, would not have any objections. Now is the cold winter and twelfth lunar month~www.readwn.com~ There is no way to mobilize troops, even Zhao's is no exception. Chen Heng and Zipu urged him to quickly order the Wei army in Hedong to hold the city and wait for the beginning of spring, the Qin army would set foot on Hedong to help the Wei clan resist the Zhao clan.

"I will follow the example of the boating campaign and send grain boats from Qin to help the east of the river. I cannot let Zhao Wuxie specialize in beauty and win the hearts of the people in the east of the river." Zipu also guaranteed the supply of food and grass.

"Everything is decided by the great concubine..." Wei Ju's eyes had lost the luster, and he deeply felt that after issuing the order, he had become the eternal sinner of the clan, and the Wei family might be destroyed in his hands.

It was not until the winter solstice that the news from Hedong lifted his spirits and made him laugh.

"Uncle, he is really the main beam of the Wei family..."

First of all, he persuaded the people of Qin to risk hijacking Wei Ju if they disagreed, and then proposed "Lianheng".

Chen Heng planned everything and everything was interlocked, but the only thing he didn't expect was that Wei Ju's crazy and desperate order was very different from his usual cautious, so the old Wei Xu who was stationed in Hedong thought it was a "chaotic order". ', which he refused to carry out.
