Chapter 117 Chu State Strategy and Qi State Situation
Ever since the car overturned the Luo Kingdom, the nobles of the Chu Kingdom have become more and more arrogant.

That's the country of Luo!
Defeating Luo Guo means that Bang Zhou's destiny is no longer indestructible, and God has begun to give up Bang Zhou.

Especially among the remaining major powers, Chu State can almost beat two, so the nobles of Chu State are in the pride of being number one in the world.

Few people realize that a big danger word has been pasted on their foreheads.

The nobles of Chu Kingdom quarreled every day because of their interests.

But all of them are relatives and nobles who have made great achievements, and they are all powerful lords in the Chu Kingdom. They have never done anything wrong to the public office. .

This caused the King of Chu a headache, because the disputes between these people indirectly affected the strategic planning of Chu State.

Looking at the chaos of the nobles in the country, the king of Chu was very distressed.

In governing the country, many things can only be done by the prime minister, not by the monarch, so he began to miss his uncle Xiang Cheng again.

Before Xiang Cheng died, he set the future strategy for Chu State, "Your Majesty, there are many snakes and insects in the land of Wu State. If the snake catcher can't kill the snake completely, he will definitely be attacked by the snake.

Wu State is a country like a poisonous snake, and it is still in the back of Chu State. If Wu State cannot be destroyed, it will definitely be invaded in the future.

After years of hard work, the land of Wu State is also one of the granaries. After the vitality of Chu State recovers, it will immediately begin to destroy Wu.

The king must remember that after the country is destroyed, counties and counties must be paralleled and intersected, and then a general will be sent to guard the land of Wu.

In this way, the public office can use the power of the emperor to suppress the power of restoring the country in Wu. You only need to sit in Yingdu to collect taxes.

It's a pity that Xiang's generation has no talents who can serve as Ling Yin, otherwise the minister would not have to worry so much about the obstruction of those nobles. "

After Xiang Cheng's death, the King of Chu knew what he meant by the nobles' obstruction. The nobles agreed with him to destroy Wu, but at the same time, they quarreled over whether to continue the offensive on the plain of Shu.

Until the Wei State defeated the Qin State, the vitality of the Qin State was greatly injured, and it lost the background to compete with the Chu State on the Shu State Plain, and the plan to attack the Wu State was directly stranded.

Wouldn't it be a crime to give up the white-flowered land on the plains of the State of Shu to the State of Qin?
It is better for Qin State to go back to the west to raise horses. He can't grasp the land of Shu State Plain, so he has to come from Chu State.

"Wu Guo is a fish and shrimp trapped in the shallows, and the only ending is death.

Qin State is a wounded beast. Now, don't take advantage of his weakness to beat him to death and maim him, why don't he go into the mountains to recuperate and fight against Chu State again?

This is unwise. "

If Xiang Cheng would say here, "The state of Wu is not a fish or shrimp on the shoal, but a strong cattle and sheep. Hunting the state of Wu can make the state of Chu stronger, while the state of Qin is a beast that is difficult to conquer." .”

The king of Chu still felt that he had to obey Xiang Cheng's last words and destroy the state of Wu first, but what the nobles said was indeed true, and the opportunity for Qin to be weak was rare.

Time has changed and things have changed. Now that the situation has changed, Chu's response should also be changed.

This change in strategy greatly stimulated Qin State's fear of Chu State, and finally made Qin State agree to the joint proposal of the enemy Wei State.

But when Weicheng returned from his envoy to Qin State, he went to Qi State non-stop. As for Wu State, the difficulty was not that great, so he sent another envoy to go.

After arriving in Linzi, Qi State, Weicheng was a little surprised, and said to his followers: "Qi State has the benefits of fish and salt, it is really a fertile land. The second consecutive horizontal can be successful."

Although Acropolis has learned vertical and horizontal skills, the representative of Wei Fajia is his good friend, so he looks down on Qi Fajia. The first reaction when seeing Linzi's prosperity is that Qi is a good place.

As the envoy of Wei State, Weicheng successfully met Duke Qi. Although Wei State also occupies a part of the land of Huaisi, the side close to Qi State belongs to Qin State. There is no friction.

Duke Qi's attitude was still kind, and he asked: "Doctor, Marquis Wei asked you to come, but do you have something important to discuss?"

Weicheng said that the six countries defeated Chu, "Chu has become more and more arrogant over the years, and has oppressed Qin and Wu too much. Qi, the six kingdoms attacked Chu in a row, so that Chu would no longer have the heart to look north."

Duke Qi immediately shook his head and said, "Qi and Chu do not border each other, and there is no conflict, so it is unwise to attack such a distant country.

Chu State did not send troops to Qi State, but Qi State used force against Chu State without authorization. This is not what a benevolent country should do. "

The meaning of Duke Qi is very clear, Wei State wants to defeat Chu State and become the overlord of the world, Qi State has no such intention, but also does not want to become Wei State's tool, Qi State will not accompany it.

Weicheng smiled nonchalantly and said: "Duke Qi, Chu is a big country with a distance of four thousand miles, which is beyond the reach of all other countries in the world.

Qin Wei sent troops to Chu, without your help, it must have failed.

If it fails, they must cede land and bribe Chu. What land does Qin Wei have that Chu hopes to obtain, and can Qin Wei cede it? "

Duke Qi’s expression turned ugly when he heard the words. Of course Chu State wanted the land of Huaisi. If Chu State got the land of Huaisi, Qi State would be next door to Chu State. Now the strength of Chu State is unstoppable by Qi State.

Weicheng said solemnly: "Duke Qi.

Beasts in the mountains and forests eat rabbits and deer when they are hungry, but they don't hunt the goats. Is it because they are already satisfied?
No, the beast of prey will eat all the prey it sees.

It let go of the goat only because it was temporarily full. When it was hungry again the next day, could the goat escape?
Chu State is such a ferocious beast.

In the past, Qin State and Wei State let Qi State and Wu State cede Huaisi, because if Qin and Wei did not want it, they would be taken away by Chu State.

You said that the lands of Chu State and Qi State do not border each other. Isn’t this because Qin State and Wei State occupied Huaisi?
You said that there is no enmity between Chu State and Qi State. Isn’t it because Chu State is claiming land from Wei State?

Just as Qin State does not confront Qi State, isn't it because Wei State restrains Qin State's army?

The indestructible friendship between Wei State and Qi State is bestowed by heaven. Now you have rejected Wei State Lianheng's request. When the land of Huaisi falls into the hands of Chu State, it will really be a disaster for Qi State.

At that time, the state of Chu will not be able to claim land from the state of Wei. If not from the state of Qi, where else can it be obtained?
At that time, the state of Wu has already perished, and Qin and Wei have no strength to resist the state of Chu. Where do you go to find allies?
Is the Luo Congress maintaining the stability of Qi as it has done in the past 800 years?

You are a wise monarch, can't you see the stakes in it?
There are so many talented people in Qi. I sincerely ask you to ask their opinions. I think they will definitely agree. "

So the Duke of Qi asked the ministers of the Qi State about the government. After the bloody incident in the previous year, the power of the Qi State Office returned a little bit, but the state affairs of the Qi State were still mainly in the hands of a dozen doctors.

These doctors are under the support of scholars. With the restoration of Qi State's national strength, Qi State is ready to move again, especially in the Huaisi area. This is the pain in Qi people's hearts.

Sure enough, as the Acropolis had predicted, the people of Qi had long wanted to take back the Huaisi area, and now that the opportunity presented itself, how could they let it go.

"Your Majesty, Qin State is a country in the west, and it is more than five thousand miles away from Qi State?
Huaisi's enclave is like a paper kite. If Qin is strong, it will be a nail to Qi's side.

But if the Qi State becomes stronger, as long as the thread is cut, the land can be taken back. Now that the Qin State is weak, it is beneficial for Qi State to keep the land in Qin State's hands.

But Chu State is only five hundred miles away from Qi State, and this is what Qi State really needs to worry about. Please promise to have a relationship with Wei State.

But Qi State and Chu State do not border each other. Qi State participated in the Lianheng for moral reasons. Wei State and Qin State should cut off the land in Huaisi for Qi State. All three countries should own land in Huaisi, so that they can work together to fight against Chu State. "

Weicheng had long expected that Qi State wanted to take back Huaisi's land. As early as Qin State, they had already negotiated the terms.

The state of Qin was defeated by the state of Wei, and now it only wants to keep the plains of Shu state and the land north of the three Jin states. The requirement for Huaisi is to collect taxes, so Qin state and Wei state respectively ceded several cities for Qi state in exchange for Qi state to dispatch troops.

As for the state of Wu, facing the sudden alliance of the princes of the Central Plains, they were ecstatic.

Marquis Wu laughed loudly in the city of Gusu and said, "The real rise of Wu in the past was the surprise attack on Chu in the Battle of Yanling.

Now that the princes of the Central Plains have united again, with eight thousand miles of land, ten thousand chariots, and millions of soldiers, Chu is hard to resist.

This is an opportunity for Wu to re-emerge and recruit sons from all over the country. "

It is very common for countries to reorganize their armaments. Wars will break out between countries from time to time. Chu State did not expect that the Six Kingdoms would attack Chu in succession, and they were still preparing to completely defeat Qin State on the plain of Shu State.

This agreement between the six countries did not escape the eyes and ears of the Luo Kingdom. Luo Chang smiled to the left and right in the Luo Palace: "The art of vertical and horizontal will flourish in the world. From then on, lobbyists from various countries will definitely be popular all over the world." Among them, the best can prosper the country with one word, and defeat the country with one word.

The Luo Kingdom should record these things and send letters to the historians of other countries. These things must be recorded in detail. One day, when the country is ruined, it will be extracted from the history books and specially compiled into a policy collection to pass on to future generations. "

……

Weicheng met the Duke of Qi and said: "The crime of the Marquis of Chu today is more serious than that of the Marquis of Qin and Wu. My lord wants to attack it, but he is unable to catch it. Therefore, the envoy borrows troops from Qi."

Qi Gong said: "Qi and Chu Huan are fighting without wisdom."

Weicheng said: "Qi and Chu are happy, with Qin and Wei as screens, Qin and Wei are defeated, Qi is weak, Chu will swallow it, and the ministers are the public's concern."

Duke Qi was overjoyed, so he sent troops to attack Chu. ——"Warring States Policy Wei Policy"
