The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

After more than ten days of hard work, Wei Shen finally returned to Anyi in the state of Wei. The first thing after returning home is to lie on the bed and have a good sleep! If it hadn't been for the Warring States Period, Wei Shen would have wanted to ruin it long ago. Jiang Rou had already known about Wei Shen's return and hurriedly ran to his room and saw that Wei Shen had already fallen asleep and was unconscious. He had not even taken off his shoes before he got to the bed. Jiang Rou kept staring at him, stepped forward, helped Wei Shen take off his shoes, and covered him with the quilt. After watching for a while, he quietly left!

In the early morning of the next day, Wei Shen felt very energetic after sleeping all night. When he got up, he said to Wang Xiao:"Wang Xiao, drive to the general's mansion!"——yes.

In Pang Juan's mansion, after listening to Pang Ying's story, Pang Juan nodded happily:"Pang Ying, you have grown up a lot than before. When dealing with the formation of the Qin army, you can be so quick and make bad formations." , This shows that you have made great progress! As a father, I only have one wish, that is, I hope you can surpass me as a father!" Pang Ying quickly handed over his hand:"Yes!" A maid came in and said:"Sir, His Royal Highness is here to see you!"When Pang Juan heard this, he immediately said:"Please come in quickly, His Royal Highness!" Pang Juan and Pang Ying also came out quickly and waited outside for Wei Shen's arrival.

Wei Shen came in and saw Pang Juan and Pang Ying waiting for him at the door. He hurriedly walked over and said,"General Pang has now completed the first step of Awakening. The next step is the second step. I don't know what General Pang plans to do." Implementation?"

Pang Juan cupped his hands and said:"Your Highness, the next step is to send three more people to the Qin State to explain the laws of the Wei State, and then liberate all the slaves we purchased into civilians and give them land, and also share this information with them. Spread to the Qin State, so that the slaves and people of the Qin State will continue to come to our Wei State!"

After hearing this, Wei Shen nodded and said,"Okay, then do what General Pang said!"

Pang Ying was also there! Said aside:"Father, I think we not only want to publicize it, but also do some evil things in the Qin State, such as burning down some villages!"

Pang Juan shook his head and said:"No, if the Qin State discovers that it is our Wei State. If we do this, the people of Qin may resent us, Wei, so we cannot do this!"

Wei Shen said:"General Pang, according to my detailed work in Qi, I heard that Sun Bin seems to have been killed because of the confrontation with the Chu army. I have been worrying about this matter. How about we, the army of Wei State, station troops on the border of Qi State?"

Pang Juan thought for a while and said,"The strategy mentioned by His Highness the Crown Prince is also possible, but I am worried that Sun Bin will use our army of Wei State and the Qi Army. If there is a confrontation, then he may send envoys to discuss with the Chu State, which may lead to a confrontation between the Wei Army and the Qi Army. Then the Chu Army may just watch the show on the sidelines!"

Wei Shen only understood after listening. It must be long-term. If he really sends the Wei army to confront the Qi army, although it can increase the consumption of the Qi State, who knows whether the Chu State will discuss with the Qi State and then not confront the Chu Army. The Qi State will What should we do if we turn around and confront Wei again? Then, Sima Wutong's plan is worthy of failure!………

As many as 20,000 Qin slaves were bought back to Wei. After these slaves were brought to Wei, they were all imprisoned. One slave said timidly:"What are they going to do with us?" We won't kill us all. I heard from my master that the people of Wei are cannibals!" Several slaves around him were frightened after hearing this, and hurriedly came over and asked:"What was the official position of the previous master?"

Then A slave said:"His title is the middle-ranking official of the Qin State! He often said that the people of the Wei State are all man-eating monsters!"

Several other slaves were very frightened after hearing this, and one timidly said:"The people of the Wei State bought After coming back so many times, are we just going to be cooked and eaten? I would rather die than be eaten by them!"

Suddenly several Wei soldiers came in. When the slaves saw the Wei soldiers coming in, they hurriedly After retreating, a little slave about ten years old asked:"Are you going to eat us?"

After hearing this, a Wei soldier in the lead felt very funny and said:"Why are you going to eat you? Hurry up. Come out with us!" More than a thousand slaves held in this prison were brought out.

After arriving outside, I saw an official of the Wei State holding a bamboo slip and saying:"According to the laws of our State of Wei, our State of Wei is not allowed to own slaves, so you are all free, and each of you can get thirty acres of land." , and those slaves under the age of 18 will temporarily work in various military camps, and when they reach 18 years old, they will receive thirty acres of land!" When all the slaves heard that the Wei State not only refused to eat them , and restored their freedom and returned their land.

A slave felt that he had heard wrongly and asked quickly:"My lord, you said you would restore our freedom and give us our land! Are you trying to trick us?" said the Wei official. :"This is an order from your Majesty, how can I coax you!" When all the people heard that this official was not coaxing them, they felt that they had arrived in a paradise, and they all cheered:"Long live Wei!"

In less than a month, the purchased slaves had been properly resettled, and when those Wei merchants went to Qin to do business, they informed the Qin slaves and people of Wei's laws. The news spread throughout the Qin State in less than ten days!

After reading the report on the bamboo slips, Ying Quliang, the court of the Qin State

, was already very angry. He shouted angrily:"What do you people do for food? It's good now. In less than a few days, my slaves from the Qin State ran away." Half of the people, even some people, have gone to Wei. What do you think Qin should do?"

The Qin ministers below all looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. Dr. Qianlong stood up and said:"Your Majesty's top priority now is to block the exports of various places and not allow Qin people to go abroad! And Qin's businessmen are not allowed to go out to do business within these three months!"

After hearing this, Ying Quliang said:"The words of the superior minister are feasible, but if Qin State wants to completely change this situation, it must implement reforms. I wonder what you think?"

The ministers below heard that reforms were needed. You must know that if they implement reforms, they will be like Wei. Likewise, most of the power is concentrated in the hands of the king, so nobles like them will never be able to get ahead! A nobleman stood up quickly and said:"Your Majesty, I think that our Qin country does not need to carry out reforms. Our Qin country has maintained it for hundreds of years according to Duke Mu's policy. If we deliberately change the policy, the country will not be a country!" I ask your Majesty to take back your order!"

Ying Quliang cursed:"Well, since you said that Duke Mu of Qin's policy has always been good, then why was our Qin State defeated by Wei State in the Battle of Shaoliang? Why The people of my Qin State are all going to his Wei State! Tell me, why is this happening?"

All the ministers lowered their heads after hearing this, but there were still nearly half of the Qin State ministers. He stood up and said:"Please take back your life!" After hearing this, Ying Quliang was already furious, stood up directly, and left angrily!………

On the outskirts of the capital of Qin, a group of people were walking in the fields. The leader exuded a domineering air. A person behind him said:"Your Majesty, you'd better be careful during this private visit. After all, it's more dangerous outside."!" It turned out that the person walking in the front was none other than Ying Quliang, the current monarch of Qin.

Ying Quliang looked at the endless uncultivated wasteland and the villages that were already depleted. Ying Quliang said to the people next to him:"Doctor, look at the villages here. Among the ten households, there are Five households have fled. Do you think that if our Qin country does not change its laws, will it be destroyed by Wei?"

Qianlong was also worried and said:"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. If our Qin country does not change its laws, it is possible that it will be destroyed by Wei. We are really going to be destroyed by the Wei State. Only if our Qin State implements reforms can we be strong!"

Ying Quliang sighed and said,"But our Qin State's reforms are really difficult. Let's talk about today's morning meeting. Go on, those nobles don't take me seriously at all! These nobles are already lawless, and they actually think about their interests at such a critical moment, and have no regard for our country of Qin. If these people are not removed, our country of Qin will remain. What's the use of these moths! If we don't get rid of these people, we won't be able to survive!" The Marquis of Wei in the Wei State Hall laughed loudly after seeing the information from Qin State, and then said to the ministers:"My lords, Qin State is now under attack. Large areas of the Qin State's land that I, the General, used for this desperate plan have been turned into wasteland! As expected of the General, the plan is so superb! Now, the State of Qin has no concern for our State of Wei. Everyone, do we, the State of Wei? Should we fight Qi now?"

Wu Tong stood up and said,"Your Majesty, althoughThe country was severely defeated by Wei in the Battle of Shaoliang, and the general used the annihilation plan to greatly reduce Qin's national power. However, Qin's ambition is not dead, so we cannot relax our vigilance. Moreover, I believe that the relationship between our Wei State and Qin State is the same as mortal enemies. Either Qin State will perish or our Wei State will perish. Therefore, Qin State is our Wei State’s most serious concern, and Qi State is not a concern! After hearing this

, Marquis Wei asked:"But since Sima Qin has been greatly reduced by our attacks, why does he still care about Qin?"

Wu Tong explained again:"Your Majesty, do you think how far is the distance between the State of Qin and our State of Wei?" Qin wants to go eastward. If he wants to go east, Wei will be at the forefront of Qin's eastward march. If Qin doesn't destroy Wei, how can Qin go east? Therefore, the biggest enemy of our Wei State is the Qin State. If our Wei State wants to become strong, we must get rid of the land of the Four War. If we want to get rid of the land of the Four War, we must destroy a country, and among them we The most important thing for the Wei State to destroy is the Qin State! The kings of Qin are all people with great ambitions, so Qin's wolf ambitions cannot be quenched. The kings of Qi are all people who see small gains and forget big things, so there is nothing to worry about!

After hearing this, Marquis Wei said:"Then just follow what Sima said!" However, Gu believes that Qi State is the most serious problem of Wei State, because Qi State has begun to threaten Wei State's dominance! Therefore, I have decided to move the capital to Daliang to frighten Qi! Moreover, the land in Hanoi County is fertile and flat, which is suitable for the development of production. What do you think?

After hearing this, Pang Juan immediately stood up and said,"Your Majesty, you cannot move the capital!" In fact, the current Qi State does not threaten the hegemony of Wei State. The first is that the monarch of Qi State is incompetent and only knows about pleasure. Now Qi State's national power has been consumed a lot by the monarch of Qi State, and Wei State has moved its capital to Daliang. As for the city, Hanoi County does not have a dangerous place to defend, and Hanoi County is a flat plain. This will cause almost any country in our Wei State to be able to show off their power and kill in our hinterland! Moreover, countries are very easily threatened by other countries! And Anyi is in Hedong County. Hedong County has Luliang, the danger of Zhongtiao, the resistance of Luoshui, the protection of Zhiguan, and the strength of Weihan. Other countries will not easily threaten our capital. If we move the capital to Daliang, it will be very easy. Being threatened!"

But Wei Hou didn't seem to take Pang Juan's words to heart at all. Instead, he ordered:"Gu is determined to move the capital to Daliang, and no one can persuade him!"Then he returned to the inner palace. And Wei Hou's move to move the capital will make him regret it in the future! Wei Shengang wanted to get up, but when he persuaded him, he saw that his father had already left, so he had no choice but to give up! Because he knew Why would this decision to move the capital cause great damage to the entire strategic layout of the Wei State! And for Sun Bin, moving the capital of the Wei State to Daliang was a suicide attempt! Because Daliang City was too close to Qi State. Got it!
