The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

When the King of Chu received the letter of alliance from Anyi, he was overjoyed and said to Ling Yin Zhaoxi:"Ling Yin, thank you for your hard work. It is thanks to you in the past few months that Chu and Wei have formed an alliance! This way! If so, I, the State of Chu, can seriously deal with the State of Qi!"

Zhao Xixie stood up and said,"Your Majesty, please don't work hard. This is just for the hegemony of the State of Chu!"

The King of Chu waved his hand and said:" Your Majesty, you don't have to be humble. I'm here to reward the Prime Minister with five hundred gold!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xishe hurriedly bowed and said,"Thank you so much for your kindness, Your Majesty!" King Chu asked again:"Everyone, our Chu State has now formed an alliance with the Wei State. , then what is the next step for our Chu State?"

Qu Yijiu, the senior official, stood up and said:"Your Majesty, I once thought that the next development of our Chu State should be to deal with the Qi State in the east. The Qi State is rich and the land is fertile. Although In the previous battle, our Chu State was defeated, but our Chu State did not lose too much vitality and could recover in a few years. However, Qi State suffered heavy losses. I thought that another war with Qi State would be launched in two years' time!" Jing

Jing She stood up and said:"Your Majesty, I think what the superior officer said is very true. Under the attack of Chu State, Qi State's 100,000 warriors have been beaten by our Chu Army. Although our Chu Army suffered casualties in this battle, It is also heavier, but the elite of our Chu army has not been lost, but I think it is best to attack Qi together with the three Jins!"

King Xiong Liangfu of Chu also nodded after hearing this, and asked his commander Yin Zhao Xixie:"Your Majesty, what do you think?"

Zhao Xixie replied:"Your Majesty, I believe that the most important thing for our country of Chu now is to develop domestic production. In order to make our country of Chu have no worries, I request that the two towns near the capital of Ying be moved. One hundred thousand acres of royal farmland are distributed to the people for cultivation. After all, the royal family occupied the land but did not cultivate it. It would be a pity that it has been left uncultivated. I request that the land be distributed to the landless people, as long as it is cultivated for one year. , the national strength of our Chu country will also be greatly improved!"

After hearing this, the King of Chu said:"Then follow the words of the prime minister!"

At this time, the prince Xiong Shang stood up and said:"Father, I think we should not only open up the capital of Ying We will also implement the policy of reclaiming wasteland in various parts of the Chu State. The newly reclaimed land will not pay any taxes for two years, and the illegal land of some nobles will be confiscated and distributed to the people for farming. In this way, the strength of our Chu State will definitely increase!"

Jing Zhu, the junior minister standing on the side, stood up and said sternly:"Your Majesty, you can't do that. Back then, King Chu Mourning ordered that the land of the nobles be confiscated. As a result, some nobles rebelled. I thought that the land of the nobles could not be confiscated!" Jing Zhugang After saying this, many nobles responded one after another!

Jing Yuan stood up and said:"Your Majesty, I think it is okay to confiscate the illegal lands of the nobles. After all, their lands are illegal gains in the first place. I think that the illegal lands of the nobles must be confiscated because they have seized too much land from the common people!"

Jing Yuan said. Just after he finished speaking, Qu Boyong, the middle doctor, said to the King of Chu:"Your Majesty, you must not confiscate the land of the nobles. The reason why our country of Chu is strong is that we rely on the support of the nobles. I believe that the land of the nobles cannot be confiscated!"

At this time, there was chaos in the court. Seeing the endless debate in the court, the King of Chu said angrily:"That's enough!" Everyone became quiet. King Xiong Liangfu of Chu calmed down and said:"We will discuss this matter later!"After saying that, Xiong Liangfu left the court. Everyone looked at each other and left the court one after another!

Qin State Court Hall

Qin Gong Yingshi Xi took the intelligence that had just been sent from Wei State and said:"Everyone, now that Wei State has formed an alliance with Chu State, what should be the future development of our Qin State?"

Ying Qian stood up and said:"Father, son and minister. I believe that the most important thing now is to develop domestic production, because after the war against Wei, our Qin State suffered too great losses, and it has only been able to recover a little bit in the past ten years!"

Qianlong, the doctor on the side, stood up. Said:"Your Majesty, I believe that we should first develop domestic production, secondly recruit talented people from all over the world, thirdly train elite soldiers, and fourthly our Qin State's expansion direction in recent years should be Yiqu and occupy Yiqu. We will use our land to strengthen our Qin State! After achieving these four points, when the Wei State suddenly changes, our Qin State will launch a war against the Wei State again!" After hearing this, Ying Shixi asked again:"Then, doctor, what do you think? Who is responsible for training the new soldiers?" Qianlong said again:"I recommended Zhang Ao, Zhang Ao's son, to be responsible for training the new soldiers. Zhang Ao was very good at using soldiers. At that time, his father praised him many times, and his use of soldiers even surpassed After hearing this, Ying Shixi said:"Then let Zhang Ao be responsible for training new recruits!"

Ying Quliang stood up and said:"Father, I think it is not only about development, but also about development. To produce and train new soldiers domestically, we must also unite other countries to deal with Wei. Now Wei has completely become the most powerful country in the world. It is difficult for Qin to resist it, so it is better to unite other countries to deal with Wei."

Win. After hearing this, Shi Xi nodded and said:"So Quliang, which country do you think we should unite with?"

Ying Quliang said again:"I think it is best to unite with Qi, and Qi and Qin are separate. In the east and west, we can jointly suppress Wei from both sides, so uniting with Qi is the best ally!"

Ying Shixi nodded and asked,"Sir, what do you think?" Qianlong stood up and said:"I think it's best to form an alliance with Qi. Qi's national strength is also very strong, and the country's rich army is also very elite. I think that if Qin and Qi unite, we don't need to be afraid of Wei!" Yingshi Xi thought for a while and said:" Let’s talk about uniting with Qi later!"——yes!

In Tian Ji's Mansion

, Tian Ji took the intelligence from Wei and said to Sun Bin:"Mr. Sun Bin, Wei has formed an alliance with Chu, so what should I, Qi, do?"

Sun Bin took a look at the intelligence in Tian Ji's hand. , said:"The situation is not optimistic. The alliance between Chu and Wei is equivalent to half of the national strength of all the countries in the world. It seems that our Qi State will form an alliance with Qin in advance!"

Tian Ji felt that the situation was not optimistic when he saw Sun Bin, and he was anxious Asked:"Mr. Sun Bin, what should Qi State do?"

Sun Bin thought for a while and said:"The only way now is to quickly form an alliance with Qin State and use Qin State's power to contain the development of Wei State. In this way, I, the State of Qi, can concentrate on dealing with the State of Chu!"

Tian Ji asked in confusion:"Mr. Sun Bin, what should we do about Zhao and South Korea?"

Sun Bin smiled and said:"Zhao and South Korea are just wallflowers, which one is stronger? It's one-sided, but the most important thing for Qi State is to deal with Zhao State, because Zhao State's development direction must also point to our Qi State, and South Korea's development direction may point to Chu State. Therefore, we must provoke Wei State and Zhao State. The conflict in South Korea, the intensification of the conflict between the two countries, has caused the collapse of the Three Jin Alliance! Only in this way can our country of Qi survive this crisis!" After hearing this, Tian Ji said:"Mr. Sun Bin, do you think our country of Qi still needs it? Are you attacking the State of Yan?"

Sun Bin picked up the map on the desk and looked at it, and said:"It seems that we can't attack the State of Yan now. If our State of Qi attacks the State of Yan, then the State of Wei will support the State of Yan. In this case , our country of Qi is caught in the possibility of being attacked from three sides!"

After Tian Ji heard this, suddenly Tian Ji said quickly:"Mr. Sun Bin is not good, just yesterday the emperor issued an order to attack the country of Yan immediately!" As soon as Sun Bin heard the words in his hand, The tea cup fell down and said:"What did you say? Yesterday, your Majesty ordered a war against Yan State!"

"It's Mr. Sun Bin, what should we do? Tian Ji asked. Sun Bin frowned, sighed, and said,"Brother Tian Ji, now our Qi country must be prepared to welcome the five countries to attack Qi!""

When Tian Ji heard this, he was already shocked that the five countries were fighting Qi together. Qi couldn't defeat even Wei. How could he defeat five countries? Tian Ji hurriedly said:"Is there no way to save Mr. Sun Bin? Sun

Bin thought for a while and said:"Yes, if the Chu State attacks our Qi State, our Qi State must have good relations with the Yue State and the Ba State, and bravely attack the Chu State with the Yue State and the Ba State. When the Wei State attacks our Qi State, , we will brave Qin to attack Wei, so that Qi will only have to face three countries, so only Zhao, South Korea and Yan will be left to attack Qi. Then, our Qi must first Defeat Zhao State, temporarily adopt a defensive posture against Yan State, wait until Zhao State and South Korea are defeated by our army, and then attack Yan State with all our strength. This is the way I want to break the situation!

After hearing Sun Bin's solution, Tian Ji said:"Mr. Sun Bin is really a god!" , there is no game in the world that Mr. cannot break! Sun

Bin said again:"Brother Tian Ji, it seems that we have to send an envoy to Qin immediately. I plan to ask my son Sun Sheng to go to Qin to form an alliance with Qin!"

Tian Ji asked:"Then how should we make Qin form an alliance with our Qi state?" Sun

Bin laughed and said:"We, Qi State, are going to form an alliance with Qin State. Qin State will definitely agree, because Qin State has always wanted to regain its lost territory, and because Chu State has already formed an alliance with Wei State, it will naturally form an alliance with us, Qi State!" And we also need to help Qin State contain the development of Wei State! Because the country Wei is most worried about is not our Qi State, but the Qin State to the west of them, because during the period of Wei Wenhou, he said that if Wei wants to unify the world, it must occupy the Qin State. I was once in Guigu No. 3 Middle School When I was studying, I heard Mr. Gui Gu say a nursery rhyme: If Qin is not destroyed, Wei will surely perish. Once Qin is destroyed, the world will return to Wei!

Tian Ji asked:"Then how can we help Qin contain the development of Wei?""

Sun Bin waved and asked Tian Ji to come closer. After Sun Bin told him in a low voice, Tian Ji said after hearing this,"Okay, what a good plan! Now Wei will be in dire straits! Sun

Bin smiled and said:"Brother Tian Ji, hurry up and lead the army to the border between Qi and Yan. Hurry up and station it. I have a plan to make Yan's national power even weaker!" Tian Ji asked:"What's the plan?" Sun

Bin said in a low voice:"It is a tactic to tire out the enemy. The king of Yan State is as timid as a mouse and has no ambition. Once our Qi State sends heavy troops to station at the border, the Yan State will definitely recruit more troops to go to the border to join our Qi Army." If there is a confrontation, no one will cultivate the land of Yan State, then our Qi State will slowly consume the strength of the Yan State, and due to the large-scale conscription of Yan State, the people will definitely complain, then if our Qi State attacks, the Yan State will It’s even easier!

After hearing this, Tian Ji said:"Sir, what a great idea!""
