The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

In Tian Ji's house, Sun Bin received the intelligence from Qin and murmured:"It seems that Qin has been fooled by Wei's plan and has been unable to threaten Wei for more than ten years! This Pang Juan is quite capable.!"

Tian Ji on the side asked:"Mr. Sun Bin, now that the Qin State can no longer threaten the Wei State, then our Qi State is equivalent to using the power of one country to resist the Wei State! And now our Qi State army has been fighting against the Chu army. Confrontation, Mr. Sun Bin, what should we do?"

Sun Bin stood up, looked at the fish pond, and said to Tian Ji:"Brother Tian Ji, if you want to defeat Wu Tong's conspiracy, you must cause civil strife in Chu! But! It's hard to bring chaos to Chu!"

When Tian Ji heard that Sun Bin couldn't break it, he said anxiously:"Mr. Sun Bin, you can't break it either. Now in our Qi country, not only the monarch is consuming it, but the opposing armies are also consuming the country's strength. If this continues Our Qi National Congress will be brought down!"

Sun Bin saw Tian Ji's sad look on his face and laughed loudly:"Brother Tian Ji, you can't always rely on me to help you find a solution. Can't you think about it?"

Tian Ji Helplessly said:"Mr. Sun Bin, I am not good at strategy! So I have to rely on you."

Sun Bin thought for a while and said:"If you want Chu State not to confront Qi State, you must let Chu State attack Yue State That'll work!" Tian Ji saw that Sun Bin had an idea and asked,"Then what should we do?"

Sun Bin replied:"First, transfer all the troops stationed in Yue State back to Qi State, and secondly, send an eloquent person to Just go to the Chu State and persuade the King of Chu to attack the Yue State!" Tian Ji said again:"But will the King of Chu agree to attack the Yue State?" Sun Bin smiled and said,"Of course he will not attack the Yue State, but we, the Qi State, will Moving the army to Yue and sending people to persuade the King of Chu to attack Yue is actually giving Chu a downhill road, because Chu has also consumed a lot, so naturally he will agree to withdraw the army into the country!" Tian

Ji After hearing this, he suddenly realized and said:"Yes, it is not only our country of Qi that is consuming him, but the country of Chu is also consuming him, and the country of Chu is consuming much more than our country of Qi! We must prevent Ba and prevent us. Qi State, and half of the food for Qi State's garrison in Yue State is provided by Yue State, so the pressure is not too great."

Sun Bin said again:"Brother Tian Ji, do you know how Wu State controlled Chu at that time? Did the country collapse?" Tian Ji shook his head when he heard this and said,"I don't know!"

Sun Bin then explained:"It's called the strategy of"tiring Chu and weakening Chu", which is also the strategy of tiring the enemy that is often said in the art of war. We can Send people to persuade the King of Yue to send an army to attack the Qiandi and Six Cities of Chu. When the Chu army comes, the Yue army will retreat to the country. The Chu army will definitely be defeated. When the Chu army returns, the Yue army will If we attack Xiandi again, the Chu army will go to support Xiandi, and after the Yue army takes over, they will immediately retreat. In this way, the Chu army will be defeated. Repeatedly, Chu will definitely be exhausted!" Tian

Ji After hearing this, he was overjoyed and said:"As expected of Mr. Sun Bin, this is much better than confronting each other! In this way, after the Chu State withdraws from the Yue State because of our Qi Army, the Chu State will also follow the slope and will not fight with my Qi Army again." Confronted, and then sent people to persuade the King of Yue to attack the Chu State, and then used a rivalry strategy. In this way, the Chu army would run around, and the Chu State's land would be consumed alive in this way!"

Chu State Court Hall

After receiving the news from Qi State, the King of Chu said to his ministers:"The Qi State troops have withdrawn from the Yue State, so will our army still confront the Qi Army?"Jing She below stood up and said:"Your Majesty, I think that since the Qi army has withdrawn in the direction of Yue, then our army should also withdraw. After all, it will be too tiring to continue the confrontation like this.! Xiong

Liangfu nodded after hearing this and said:"What Grand Sima said is absolutely true, but the Qi army on the Qi-Chu border has not withdrawn yet. Should we continue to confront the army on that side?""At this moment, a guard came in and said:"Your Majesty, a man from Qi State came to see you! Upon hearing this, Xiong Liangfu waved his hand and said,"No!" The guard said again:"Last time, that person said that this matter was related to the survival of Chu State!" Xiong Liangfu showed some interest and said,"Then let him come in!""——yes!

The man from Qi came in and saluted:"I, Lu Sang, a native of Qi, pay my respects to the King of Chu!" Xiong Liangfu glanced at him and said,"Are you the one who wants to talk about the survival of our country of Chu?""I am exactly the same. , I wonder if King Chu’s expansion direction is eastward?" Lu Sang said.

Xiong Liangfu chuckled and said:"The expansion direction of Chu State is indeed eastward, what's wrong!" Lu Sang smiled and said:"Nothing, indeed, the best expansion direction of Chu State is indeed eastward, but I hope that Chu State will expand eastward." The king must not become someone else's dowry because of the confrontation!" Xiong Liangfu asked in confusion:"Why do you say that our country of Chu wants to be someone else's dowry?"

Lu Sang explained:"Your Majesty, now the Chu army and the The Qi army has been facing off at the border for more than a year. How much money has been consumed in this year! However, the Chu State's ally Wei State has nothing to do with it and is developing secretly! If Chu State attacks, Even if the Chu State occupied the Huaisi land of Qi State, because it consumed a lot of national power in the confrontation, if the Wei State attacked from behind,……"

When Xiong Liangfu heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He actually forgot that there was a Wei State next to him. He quickly stood up and said,"Thank you sir for reminding me. I would like to thank you sir on behalf of Chu State!" Then he ordered:"The order is here. The Chu army in the border confrontation returns home!"——Your Majesty, Your Majesty!

Yue State Court Hall

The King of Yue looked at Tian Zhuo, the envoy of Qi State below, and asked:"Why are you here, your envoy?"

Tian Zhuo said loudly:"I am here to make the Yue State strong and prosperous!" Si Wuzhuan looked at it in confusion. Tian Zhuo, because this is the first time he has heard of other countries helping his country become stronger. Even allied countries do not want their allies to be too strong!

Si Wuzhuan felt amused and said:"Your Majesty, your words are the funniest I have ever heard!"

Tian Zhuo said calmly:"King of Yue, I heard that the Chu State often suppressed the Yue State, and I thought We want to destroy the State of Yue, and the State of Chu is also the great enemy of our State of Qi. If the State of Chu annexes the State of Yue, then the national strength of the State of Chu will definitely increase greatly, and then our State of Qi will be in danger. Therefore, helping the State of Yue is You are helping our Qi State, so I am here to help the Yue State become stronger! Doesn’t the King of Yue want to make the country stronger? You know, in the face of the general trend of the world, it has become normal for big countries to annex small countries. If the country does not become strong, only Be destroyed! And we, the Qi State, do not want to see the Yue State be annexed by the Chu State. We, the Qi State, are also a little selfish, because if the Yue State is destroyed, our Qi State will be next!"

Si Wuzhuan finished listening. Tian Zhuo's words are indeed very reasonable. In the current general trend of the world, it has become normal for big countries to annex small countries, and strong countries to bully weak countries. So he asked:"Excuse me, how can our Yue country become stronger?"

Tian Zhuo replied:"The water system in the country of Yue is well developed. If you want to protect the country of Yue from being invaded by other countries, it is best to develop its navy. Back then, the state of Wu defeated the state of Chu with 30,000 navy! The state of Yue The land in the Taihu Lake Basin is fertile. When I came here, I found that there were a lot of wastelands around the Taihu Lake Basin. If the Taihu Lake Basin can be developed well, the national strength of the Yue State will definitely increase greatly. In those days, the Wu State relied on the blossoming of the Taihu Lake Basin to make the Wu State strong! If the Yue State could Properly developing the land in the Taihu Lake Basin will definitely make it stronger. Coupled with training an elite navy, we will be able to protect the country of Yue from invasion by other countries!" After hearing this,

Si Wuzhuan nodded and said,"Then my country of Yue will continue to do so. What are you doing?"

Tian Zhuo asked:"King of Yue, do you know about Gusu City?" Si Wuzhuan replied:"Of course I know that it used to be the capital of Wu State, but after Wu State was destroyed, Gusu City has always been there. It was abandoned there and has long been turned into a broken-earth city!"

Tian Zhuo said:"If the Yue Kingdom wants to become stronger, it must move its capital, and the best location for the capital is in Gusu City. The Wu Kingdom moved its capital to Gusu back then. The city makes the country stronger, and Gusu City is still relatively far away from Chu State. The threat of Chu State to Gusu City is not great! Moreover, Gusu City is located in the Taihu Lake Basin, so it can better develop the Taihu Lake Basin! Next Here is a drawing of the construction of Gusu City at that time, which I dedicate to the King of Yue!"

When Si Wuzhuan heard that he actually had the architectural drawing of Gusu City at that time, he quickly stood up and said:"Your envoy has the drawing of Gusu City at that time. Architectural plans!""Of course, in order to make the Yue Kingdom strong, our Qi State specially appointed five craftsmen to help the Yue Kingdom build the city!" Tian Zhuo replied.

At this time, Si Wuzhuan was very happy. You must know that the city defense system of Gusu City was one of the best at that time. There was a saying at that time: If you want to break Gusu City, unless the people inside the city automatically open the city gate, unless there is no one Can break this city! Si Wuzhuan said happily:"Ah, on behalf of Yue State, I would like to thank Qi State for its help!"

Tian Zhuo added,"I have another way to make Chu State weaker and weaker. I wonder if the King of Yue would like to hear it?" When Si Wuzhuan heard that there was a way to make Chu State weaker and weaker, he hurriedly asked:"Your envoy, please tell me, is there any way to make Chu State weaker and weaker?"

Tian Zhuo replied:"Back then, the reason why Wu State was To be able to defeat the Chu State was to use Sun Wu's strategy of exhausting the enemy. If the Yue State wants to defeat the Chu State now, it can also use the tired enemy's territory to exhaust the Chu State!" After finishing speaking,

Tian Zhuo handed over a book He took out the bamboo slips and gave it to the King of Yue and said:"This is the content of the plan. Please read it carefully, King of Yue!" Si Wuzhuan read it once, then read it again, and shouted:"What a good plan, it is indeed a good plan, and it is worthy of Sun Wu at that time." A strategy used to deal with the Chu State! I would like to thank the Qi State for its help!"

After

Wei Hou received the news from the Chu State, he said to the ministers:"The Chu troops are no longer with the Qi Army. After the confrontation, the two countries each withdrew their troops. Sima's plan has been solved by Qi. What should Wei do now?" Wu Tong stood up and said:"Your Majesty, although Qi and Chu have withdrawn their troops, I guarantee that Chu will take over. It will consume a lot of national power!"

Marquis Wei asked:"Why does Sima think that Chu State will consume a lot of national power?"

Wu Tong explained:"Your Majesty, the first of Qi State is to settle in Yue State. After the army was transferred back to its home country, a eloquent person was sent to explain the pros and cons to the King of Chu. The King of Chu agreed because he was worried that Wei State would steal his family from behind. Therefore, the King of Chu agreed to withdraw the troops. No. There is a confrontation with the State of Qi, but although the Qi army has retreated, there is no guarantee that the State of Qi will not allow other countries to exhaust the State of Chu. I am sure that the State of Qi will definitely want to support the State of Yue and use the power of the State of Yue to consume the State of Chu! Because I I also heard that the Yue State seems to be moving its capital to Gusu City, and Gusu City was once the capital of the Wu State. At that time, the Wu State set out from Gusu City and defeated the Chu State!" After hearing this, the Marquis of Wei said:" Sima, it is better for us to repay him with his own way, what do you think?"

Wu Tong thought for a while and said:"Your method is also possible, your Majesty, but our Wei State cannot move the capital to Daliang. No, because Daliang is in Hanoi County, Hanoi County has no dangerous place to defend, and Daliang City is too close to Qi State. If used, Qi State can easily threaten our Daliang, and Yue State moved its capital to In Gusu City, Chu State will not be able to threaten Yue State's capital. Therefore, if your Majesty wants to use this strategy, you must not move the capital!" When the

Marquis of Wei heard that he could not move the capital to Daliang, he immediately said:"Then forget it. Gu must move the capital to Daliang, because Daliang is the only land with fertile land, and the land in Hanoi County is much more than the land that can be cultivated in Hedong County!" After hearing this, the ministers below were heartbroken. They must know that Hanoi where Daliang City is located There is no dangerous place in the county that can be defended. The most important thing is that during the period of Wei Wenhou, Anyigang was the leader of Wei State.It has been developed for more than 80 years, and it is much better than Daliang City!

Later, Marquis Wei said:"Everyone, Daliang has convenient roads and developed commerce, which is very suitable for development. Please tell me if you agree to move the capital to Daliang." No one below said anything. Seeing that no one spoke, Marquis Wei said again:"Since Everyone has already acquiesced, then we will move the capital to Daliang in two years!" Pang Juan, who was below, stood up quickly and said:"Your Majesty, I believe that we must not move the capital to Daliang. Although the land in Hanoi County is fertile, there is no dangerous place for defense. If we move the capital to Daliang, it will be too easy to be threatened by Qi! And the countries around Anyi are relatively weak. Daliang City is surrounded by Qi to the east and Chu to the south. It can be said that we are surrounded by enemies on both sides. Please take back your order!" But Wei! Hou did not listen to Pang Juan at all, but said:"Anyone who dissuades me will be killed without mercy!"

So when everyone heard Wei Hou's decision, no one shouted loudly: Your Majesty! After saying that, Marquis Wei returned to the inner palace! Only the ministers below were left looking at each other in shock! (Due to my military training, I may only update one chapter a day in the next fourteen days. I hope book friends can understand)
