"Never!" At this time, Guan Zhong stood up and shouted.

"Your Majesty, now that we have just annexed the Song Kingdom, the Song Land has not yet been digested completely, and the Song Land still has anti-Qi forces, and they are fighting against us in private, at this time, if we want to annex the Song Kingdom, the maintenance fee for these two regions is very high!" Guan Zhong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.

Although the State of Qi occupied the State of Song and carried out a strong suppression of the State of Song, and the major business families also surrendered, there were many small business families who were not dead in their hearts and tried to revive the State of Song.

And the remnants of the Mo family are also involved, which makes the stability maintenance cost of the Qi State very high, and it will take at least two years to completely quell the internal suppression and allow the Song State to completely integrate into the Qi State.

The situation of the Song State is different from the Yan State and the Yue Kingdom, the Yan State is because Qi Xiaobai annexed the Yan State under the guise of the King of Yan, in the eyes of the Yan people, Qi Xiaobai is also an orthodox Yan person, with the royal blood of the Yan people, and is qualified to inherit the unification of the Yan State.

As for the Yue State, the Yue Country occupied by Qi Xiaobai is actually the Wu Land, which is the area of the Wu people, for them, the Qi State is still their savior to liberate them from the hands of the Yue State, and because of Wu Zixu, the policy of the Qi State towards the Wu people is still very lenient, and the Qi people among the Wu people are treated the same.

Of course, the current Song people and Yan people are treated equally, because Qi Guo wants to completely plan the other party and complete unification, after all, Qi Xiaobai's goal is not just to occupy a few more pieces of land, his purpose is to complete the unification and complete the plan to replace Zhou.

And Tian Dan also stood up at this time: "What Zhong Jun said is very reasonable, now our Song State has not been fully integrated, and it is a lot of pressure for my Qi State to annex Wei State, with the intention of the minister, what we have to do now is to annex Song State, and transform all the power of Song State into our strength, we are making a move against Wei State!" ”

Qi Xiaobai listened to Tian Dan's words and nodded: "This does make some sense!" ”

Qi Xiaobai did not refute, although Qi Xiaobai wanted to expand the Wei State quickly, but this is not a game after all, it is not something that you can complete by being strong and strong.

You annex the land of Wei, you have to be responsible for this land, which requires a very high cost, and at the same time, the Wei clan is also very powerful, you may destroy the king of Wei Hui, who dares to guarantee that the other sons of the Wei clan will raise the banner and fight with you in secret?

This is also a very high cost, and at the same time, when you suppress these internal hidden dangers, can these external forces, South Korea, Zhao, Chu, and Qin, let you develop like this? Apparently impossible?

Therefore, with the meaning of Guan Zhong and Tian Dan, that is, to completely integrate the national strength of the Song State first, and make the Qi State very strong, and when the time comes, they will attack the Wei State and break it one by one, although the time is very long, but it is the most stable way.

The so-called anxious can't eat hot tofu, in this kind of large-scale competition, the mentality can not be anxious, the original King Wei Hui is because the heart of the meritorious service is too eager, directly sent troops to the Zhao State, in the end the Zhao State did not attack down, but also consumed a lot of their own national strength, and finally became another country.

It can be said that he lost his wife and broke his army.

"So, everyone, who is going to negotiate with Wei State better?" Qi Xiaobai looked at everyone and asked.

Since you can't fight, you have to negotiate, and this negotiation needs a person who is very good at talking, and can get a lot of benefits for the Qi country.

Ministers, look at me, I look at you, Guan Zhong pondered and wanted to volunteer to stand up, but Zhang Tianshang didn't want to stand up.

Because Zhang Tianshang is a minister, he never participates in foreign affairs and has no achievements, but this is an excellent opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

The State of Qi won such a big battle, and went to the State of Wei just to ask for benefits, of course, the more benefits you wanted, the greater the credit, but at least you can guarantee a treaty between Fifteen Cities and Jixi.

Zhang Tianshang thought that he still had some ability, and at this time, no one expected to stand up: "The old man is willing to go to the Wei State, take a trip, and sign this immortal treaty for my Qi State!" ”

This one stood up was Shusun Tong, and no one thought that the silent Shusun Tong, the old guy, would actually stand up.

And how can Zhang Tianshang watch his credit being robbed? He stood up and said, "Mr. Shusun has been busy teaching, how can he have the kung fu and energy to go to the Wei State?" ”

"The minister can go to the Wei State, the reason is that the Song State has just been annexed, and the minister wants to go to the Song State to take the exam to wipe the treasury and commercial operation of the Song State, and by the way, he can sign this treaty when he goes to the Wei State!" Zhang Tianshang stood up and said.

And Guan Zhong also stood up at this time: "Lord Zhang, you are a financial minister, do you know anything about foreign affairs?" Are you going to Wei? Chenjue, I can go to Wei State, the minister is more familiar with foreign affairs, and knows how to ask for compensation! ”

Qi Xiaobai looked at the three of them, was silent for a while, and then looked at Shusun Tong: "Can you do it?" ”

Qi Xiaobai is not very optimistic about Shusun Tong, this is an opportunist, but Qi Xiaobai doesn't want to give this credit to Guan Zhong and Zhang Tianshang.

And Shusun Tong said: "The minister's ability is still very sufficient, but there is Lord Zhang in internal affairs, and there is Guan Zhong in foreign affairs, and the minister has no opportunity to show, but now this is an opportunity, and the minister is willing to come out to show his ability!" ”

Qi Xiaobai nodded: "Then there will be Uncle Lao and Sun going to the Wei Kingdom once!" ”

Shusun Tong has no credit, and if he gives Shusun Tong this credit, Shusun Tong's power will not be too great, on the other hand, Zhang Tianshang is different from Guan Zhong.

Both of them are figures at the pinnacle of power, and they are making meritorious contributions, which is not a good reward, and Qi Xiaobai has the intention of suppressing the two.

Of course, suppressing the two means that in order to promote Xia Tiandan, the three powers must be balanced in order to ensure the stability of Qi Xiaobai's rule.

Then Qi Xiaobai looked at everyone: "If there is nothing to do, then retreat from the court!" ”

Then the court was dissolved, and Shusun Tong left the Qi Palace, and then several of his students came over, one of them was a strong man, looking at Shusun Tong: "Teacher, I heard that you are going to Wei and sign a treaty?" ”

"Yes, this is my chance to make a contribution, you, come with me!" Shusun Tong looked at this person and said.

And this big man was stunned, the most despised by Shusun Tong was him, saying that he had developed limbs and a simple mind, he couldn't understand, how could this Shusun Tong teacher take him with him? Shouldn't it be the best and smartest people to take with you?

"Teacher, you want to take me there?" The big man asked again in disbelief.

"That's right, it's you!" Shusun Tong confirmed.
