Three hundred and sixtieth chapters strategy to kill Wei
The purpose of King Qin's invitation to King Qi to come to Qin was definitely not to kill him or imprison him.
King Qin originally just wanted to deepen the relationship with Qi, but he did not expect that King Qi was so easy to talk to. In this case, King Qin was no longer polite and immediately thought of using Qi to solve Wei's strategy. Over the years, the reason why Qin has
The main reason why Wei was left behind was because of the Zhao State next door. Zhao would never watch Wei fall. As long as Qin attacked Wei, Zhao would definitely go to rescue it.
But if Qin and Qi join forces, the situation will be completely different. Qin can send a large number of troops to intercept Zhao's soldiers. Qi will directly stab Wei in the back, but Li Yuan of Chu will never have the guts to do so.
Interfering in the war, in this way, the Three Jins can definitely be taken down. It can be seen that King Qi is a little shaken. King Qi has lived a very prosperous life these years. The only thing that affects his life is the previous state of Chu.
attack.
The Chu State took away several cities from the Qi State and a lot of food and supplies. Even the captured soldiers were taken back as slaves by the Chu State. Although the King of Qi did not have the guts to take revenge on the Chu State, he
He must be angry with the State of Chu in his heart. Ying Zheng first aroused the anger in the heart of the King of Qi. Ying Zheng said solemnly: "I heard that the Chu people attacked the State of Qi and killed tens of thousands of Qin soldiers.
, plundering the people and doing all kinds of evil..."
Immediately, he continued: "I have heard that Li Yuan of Chu State killed Lord Chun Shen and took charge of Chun Shen's domestic and foreign affairs. This man was cruel by nature, and Marquis Wu Cheng disliked him very much. People like him were very popular in Chu State.
I will definitely send Chu soldiers to attack the surrounding countries..." Lu Buwei was sitting not far away. As soon as King Qin opened his mouth, he understood what King Qin was thinking. He also kept fanning the flames on the side, telling the coalition's hatred of Qi State.
.
The more King Qi listened, the more uneasy he became. Ying Zheng then said with a smile: "If Qin and Qi can border...Wuchenghou can rush to Qi to give lectures at any time. He often said that he admired Qi very much.
Jixia Academy..." After hearing these words, King Qi nodded and said hesitantly: "This matter should be discussed with the ministers at home after I return to Qi State."
Ying Zheng naturally agreed. After sending King Qi to rest, Ying Zheng found Lu Buwei.
"Prime Minister... this is a good opportunity. Tian Jian said that when he goes back to discuss, he must be looking for Hou Sheng. I will leave this matter to you." Lu Buwei laughed, Qi Guo's
Things are never difficult, as long as you have money. And Qin is not short of money, nor is it short of treasures... Lu Buwei hurriedly sent his confidants to Qi to visit Hou Sheng. How long did King Qi stay in Xianyang?
Tian, finally bid farewell to Zhao Kuo and the King of Qin, and then left the State of Qin.
The ministers of Qi State thought that King Qi would never come back to Qin State this time. They did not expect that Qin State really just wanted to invite King Qi to the banquet. In order to prevent people from deliberately taking advantage of King Qi's visit, they
To destroy the relationship between Qin and Qi, Qin State sent many soldiers to escort the King of Qi all the way to Qi State. Of course, their two countries are bordering each other, but their border line is not long.
Before King Qi returned to Qi, envoys from Qin had already seen Hou Sheng.
Qin was very good at using money to defeat its enemies, and all the countries were infiltrated into a sieve under Qin's money. The first person to adopt such diplomatic means and make it a routine was King Zhaoxiang
Fan Ju, his beloved minister. At that time, all the counselors from the world gathered in the State of Zhao to discuss the alliance alliance. They wanted to unite to attack the State of Qin, and even the State of Qi sent envoys to participate.
If they really succeed, then in the true sense of the six-nation coalition, even if Qin has Bai Qi, it will be difficult to resist. It consists of Zhao She, Lian Po, Leyi, Tian Dan, Jingyang, Pang Gong, Pingyuan Jun,
The coalition forces formed by Lord Xinling, Lord Chunshen and others. Such actions by various countries made the scalp of King Qi numb at that time. He came to Fan Ju in fear to discuss what to do, but Fan Ju was not panicked at all.
Fan Ju said: Your Majesty, don't worry, I can let their alliance fall apart, because the Qin State has no grudges against the strategists in the world, so they gathered together to plan an attack on the Qin State, just to take this opportunity to gain
It's just for profit. Please take a look at your dogs. Some are sleeping, some are standing, and some are walking. There is no fight between them. But as long as you drop a bone between them, all the dogs will
Everyone will come running over!"
"They will show their ferocious looks by baring their teeth, fighting for each other, biting and barking. What is the reason for this? Because all dogs are greedy to fight for each other."
Fan Ju sent Tang Ju to take the beauty with him in a chariot, and gave him five thousand gold to hold a banquet in Wu'an of the State of Zhao. He also announced to the outside world, "Those who want to come and get gold can come to Wu'an!" As a result, many strategists came to Wu'an!
They all came to the banquet, and Fan Ju gave Tang Ju another five thousand gold, telling him not to worry about who the gold was given to, as long as he gave away all the gold. However, the gold was only divided into three thousand gold, and everyone who participated in the joint ceremony was because
Unequal distribution of gold led to internal strife and the dissolution of alliances.
From then on, Fan Ju began his own gold diplomacy. By buying bribes, he established some pro-Qin ministers in various countries, and used gold to maliciously provoke internal strife among the countries.
Therefore, the people of Qin are very familiar with this. Now when they came to visit Hou Sheng, Qin's envoy once again brought a large amount of gold. Hou Sheng was so excited that he could not speak. The property Qin sent this time was more than
It was much more valuable than before. He stroked the carriages filled with gold, his eyes were shining, and then he took the Qin envoy and took him to his courtyard to let his wife
Come out and pour wine for the guests.
Hou Sheng almost treated the messenger as his own brother.
The messenger said: "I am here this time because I have something to ask you for help."
"Hahaha, please give me your orders!" Hou Sheng said with a smile, not caring about the difference in status between the two. The envoy then talked about the things that King Qin and King Qi talked about after they met, and also talked about the Kingdom of Qin.
Hou Sheng listened carefully to the idea of pulling Qi State to attack Wei State. As soon as the messenger finished speaking, Hou Sheng said without thinking: "Okay, I understand, I will definitely complete this matter for Marquis Wenxin."
!”
The envoy was very relaxed. He just brought the gift, told Qin what he wanted, and completed his mission easily.
When King Qi returned to Qi, Hou Sheng came to greet him personally. It could be seen that King Qi was still very happy. He looked proudly at the ministers who opposed his return to Qin, as if questioning them, you couldn't trust Qin in the first place.
Guo, look, didn’t I come back safe and sound? What bad thoughts could Qin have? Hou Sheng wiped his tears and told King Qi how much he missed him after he left.
This made King Qi very moved. He held Hou Sheng's hand, and the monarch and his ministers walked to the palace. King Qi again talked about what he saw and heard in Xianyang, and the one he talked about most often was Zhao Kuo.
I saw Zhao Kuo with my own eyes and talked with him for a long time. He also told me many truths... Hou Sheng asked curiously about Zhao Kuo and expressed his envy for King Qi to see him.
It has to be said that in the country of Qi, Hou Sheng is probably the person who knows King Qi best. He knows how to make King Qi happy and how to make King Qi agree with his statement. Moreover, he can also do it without taking the blame.
He would not directly tell King Qi what to do, but would repeatedly pull and let King Qi make a decision according to what he thought... The monarch and his ministers sat in the palace and talked for a while, and then Hou Sheng said
He let out a long sigh.
King Qi was a little unhappy when he saw Hou Sheng, and asked doubtfully: "I returned to Qi safely, why are you unhappy?"
Hou Sheng then said: "I am very happy that you can return to Qi State. However, when you left Qi State, I heard that Wei State quietly gathered soldiers, seemingly wanting to assassinate you and provoke Qi State.
The war with Qin... Now Qi is rich and has good relations with the powerful Qin. Chu in the south and Zhao in the north are jealous of Qi and want to plot against Qi. It's a pity that I don't know how to lead the army.
, I can’t defeat these villains for you.”
When King Qi heard about it, he was shocked, but he didn't know that the State of Wei actually wanted to kill him. King Qi then remembered what King Qin had said, and he hurriedly said: "I went to the State of Qin. The King of Qin told me that the State of Qin can
Unite with Qi to destroy Wei, divide Wei equally between the two countries, and Qin and Qi are bordering each other. Then the two countries can help each other and fight against the enemies in the north and south together... What do you think of this matter?"
Hou Sheng thought for a moment and then said with a smile: "This is a good thing. If Wei can be destroyed, Chu and Zhao will not be able to unite and plot against Qi..." Hou Sheng said again.
: "Besides, expanding the territory is what the queen hopes to see. She has always hoped that you can become the monarch of Qi State's rejuvenation and increase the land of Qi State. Isn't this a good opportunity?"
The King of Qi was overjoyed and immediately ordered Hou Sheng to take charge of the matter.
Qin State never expected that things would develop so smoothly... Qin State and Qi State soon drew up an alliance again, including how to attack Wei State and how to divide Wei State. Since Wei State was to be destroyed, then
The war cannot be carried out rashly. Qin and Qi must come up with a sufficiently detailed strategy. The King of Qin summoned his ministers to discuss the matter. As the chief military adviser, Wei Liao first pointed out a person in the Qin-Qi coalition.
Big problem.
"Your Majesty, let Qin State come to hold Zhao State down, and let Qi State come to help destroy Wei State. This is of course a good strategy, but the problem is that the soldiers of Qi State have not fought for a long time, and their military discipline is loose. Their generals are bribed to get their positions.
Yes, although Wei's national strength is weak and there are no strong generals, they have been fighting continuously for these years, and their soldiers are all soldiers who have fought in hundreds of battles. I am afraid that Qi will be defeated by Wei in the war."
War does not depend on who has more people or who has sufficient supplies. All Qin generals here understand this. Regardless of Qi's wealth, the number of soldiers it can recruit far exceeds that of Wei. However, the combat effectiveness of these neglected soldiers is about the same as that of Wei.
Lao Ai's rebels are almost the same, not even as good as these rebels... Whether they can defeat Wei's hundreds of soldiers is really a question. If by that time, Qin is fighting Li Mu, but Wei
If you start pushing back, something big will happen.
Wang Jian said: "Then send a general to Qi State and let him command the soldiers of Qi State. It only takes a few months to change the situation of Qi State's soldiers..."
"No, we can't change anything. Qi is also Qin's enemy. If Qin wants to rule the world, Qi will definitely be Qin's enemy. It's impossible to train our enemies...
I think Qi's soldiers can delay the enemy, attack some empty cities, and put pressure on them... This is enough. With Qin's strength, it is not impossible to fight against Zhao and Wei."
"However, we still need to send a general who is proficient in the language of Qi and knows the customs of Qi... to command the army of Qi."
At that moment, everyone looked at Meng Wu. Meng Wu was stunned. Well, I really can’t find anyone more suitable than him for this matter. Meng Ao is from Qi. Although Meng Wu grew up in Qin, his parents
The conversation was all in Qi language, so naturally he could speak it. Moreover, Meng Wu had also heard about many customs of Qi State. Among the many generals of Qin State, they were definitely the most suitable to deal with Qi State's problems.
Whether it's uniting them all or destroying them all.
Next, there are issues such as Qin's offensive strategy and the selection of generals. Ying Zheng still hopes that Zhao Kuo can bring Qin's soldiers to the expedition, but he is not sure whether his father will be willing to send troops. As for the deputy general
Wang Jian did his best to select the general, and if he wanted to discuss the offensive strategy, he had to involve the general. Ying Zheng came to Zhao Kuo's small courtyard in person.
Ying Zheng originally thought that his father would hesitate or even refuse.
But no, after learning about Ying Zheng's strategy of uniting Qi to defeat Wei, Zhao Kuo nodded calmly and agreed to the request to go to Wei. Zhao Kuo had long made up his mind to end this troubled times as soon as possible.
When he and Lian Po were fighting head-on, nothing could shake his belief. Now that he has convinced Qi, he naturally has the best chance to destroy Wei.
Unifying the three Jin Dynasties was the most important step in the unification process, and Wei State was also an indispensable link. Zhao Kuo followed Ying Zheng to the palace and discussed with many generals how to attack. Zhao Kuo said seriously
: "When we go to attack Wei, Zhao will definitely send Li Mu to stop us. I know Li Mu. He has a fierce fighting style and is good at involving people. Therefore, we can let General Wang Jian lead the main army to defend..."
"General Wang Jian is prudent in his work... and there is no leakage. There is no way Li Mu can defeat him."
"While Mengwu can lead Qi's soldiers to attack from the rear and force Wei to fight on two fronts, I will lead a partial division to capture Daliang directly."
