"With the intention of Xiangguo, we want to form an alliance with Qi and divide the empire?" Qin Zhaogong looked at Fan Ju and asked.

Fan Ju nodded: "That's right, if the Qin State wants to complete the hegemony, it must form an alliance with the strong Qi in the east, they march from the east, we march from the west, divide the Three Jins, and finally work together to destroy the Chu State, and compete with the Qi State for the final hegemony!" ”

Fan Ju proposed a strategy to Qin Zhaogong, he felt that it was difficult for the Qin State to complete the hegemony on its own, and it was necessary to win over an ally, and this ally was the most suitable Qi State in the east, whether it was strength or geographical location, Qi State was the best choice.

Qin Zhaogong was silent for a while, then looked at the middle-aged man outside the door and asked, "What does Mr. mean?" ”

Fan Ju looked out the door and saw a middle-aged man, wearing a cloth robe, not like a nobleman, but looking at Qin Zhaogong's appearance, it was obvious that Qin Zhaogong respected this person very much.

"Fan Ju Xiangguo's strategy of distant friendship and close attack is very good, if the Qin State wants to seek hegemony, it needs to form an alliance with the Qi State in the east, swallow the Sanjin first, divide the Chu State, and finally compete with the Qi State for hegemony!" The man looked at Qin Zhaogong and said.

Fan Ju looked at Qin Zhaogong and said, "Who is this gentleman?" ”

"Zhang Yi!" Qin Zhaogong said to Fan Ju.

Fan Ju was stunned: "One of the four friends of the Ghost Valley, Zhang Yi who went out to travel and study?" ”

"It is here, now that I have returned from my studies, I have come to Qin State to serve Qin State and help Qin State complete the hegemony!" Zhang Yi looked at Fan Ju and said.

"With the help of Mr., the hegemony of the Qin State will be successful!" Fan Ju said on the side.

"Since Xiangguo and Mr. both support my Qin State and Qi State to form an alliance, then I will send an envoy to Qi State to complete the alliance, and if it is a blood alliance!" Qin Guo looked at the two of them and said.

Zhang Yi waved his hand: "Qi State is the new overlord of the empire, if my Qin State wants to conclude a blood alliance with it, it is not possible to just send an envoy, and the Grand Duke needs to personally send an envoy to Qi State." to show the sincerity of the Qin State! ”

Zhang Yi looked at Qin Zhaogong and said, Qin Zhaogong was stunned: "Does this still need to be done by the widow himself?" ”

Qin Zhaogong didn't think of forming an alliance, and he needed to personally conquer the Qi State, among the princes of this empire, the Qi State was the farthest country from the Qin State, but thinking of his ambitions, what did he think of this long distance?

"Qin Zhaogong, now is not the time to go to the Qi State, the Qi State will be the king in a short time, and then the Wei State, the Zhao State, and the Chu State will all be the kings of the Qi State, and at that time, you will also go to the King of Qi to show your respect for Qi Xiaobai!" Zhang Yi looked at Qin Zhaogong and said.

Qin Zhaogong nodded: "Then according to Mr.'s wishes!" ”

In this world of great contention, the princes all have the ambition to dominate the world, and they all hope to become the co-masters of the world and replace Zhou.

When Qin Zhaogong first succeeded to the throne, the Qin State was a mess, the land west of the river was lost, and the treasury was empty, but the only good thing was that Qin Zhaogong insisted on the Shang monarch's reform.

This allowed Qin to enrich the treasury in a very short period of time, and in the short years of succession, he used various means to transport the grain and grass of Shu to Qin's Guanzhong, which is why Qin dared to fight a war of attrition.

Because the grain and grass in Shu were transported to the Guanzhong region of Qin, Qin's war-ready grain and grass were no less than those of Wei.

Shu is known as the country of abundance, where is rich in grain and grass, the annual harvest of grain and grass is very high, but because of the dangerous terrain, although a lot of grain and grass can be harvested, but if the grain and grass of Shu are transported to the battlefield in wartime, it can be said that it is very difficult.

Maybe the war on your side has ended, and your grain and grass have not yet been transported out of Shudi.

This is also the reason why the Qin State sat on the land of Bashu back then, and there was a shortage of food, after retreating to the land of Bashu, even if Wu Qi, who was unparalleled in the country, it was difficult to quickly destroy the Qin State.

Because the grain and grass of Bashu could not be transported to the Qin State, this made the Qin State lack of grain when the Guanzhong and Wei States were in war.

After the Qin State retreated to Bashu, they had sufficient grain and grass, and in addition to the dangerous terrain, this made the previous part of the Wei State very difficult, and in addition, the Wei State needed to end the war quickly, so it could only sign a contract with the Qin State.

However, after Qin Zhaogong succeeded to the throne, he has always paid great attention to the grain and grass of Bashu, and he knows that although the grain and grass of Bashu are harvested a lot every year, they cannot be used, and it is no different from waste products.

Therefore, in the short few years after he succeeded to the throne, he vigorously implemented the reform of the Shang monarch, and also transported the grain and grass of Bashu to the hinterland of Guanzhong on a large scale, which was used by the Qin State to compete for hegemony in the future.

Qin Zhaogong was also the first Qin monarch to pay attention to the grain and grass in the land of Bashu during his reign.

Although other monarchs knew that there was a lot of grain and grass in the land of Bashu, they did not think of using these grains and grasses, after all, this land of Bashu was very difficult.

But Qin Zhaogong is different, although the transportation is very slow in wartime, it can be transported in peacetime, and it is not too late to use it during war, and there will be no shortage of grain and grass.

Qin Zhaogong accepted Zhang Yi's proposal and went to Qi to meet King Xiaobai, of course, before that, he still had to send an envoy to contact Qi Xiaobai.

Qin Zhaogong looked at Zhang Yi: "I will follow Mr.'s wishes, and when I go to the Prime Minister of Qi, I will ask Mr. to go with me!" ”

Zhang Yi looked at Qin Zhaogong and said, "Of course there is no problem!" ”

Then Qin Zhaogong looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Sir, how long do you think Qi Xiaobai will break through Luoyang City?" ”

"Qi Xiaobai will not attack Luoyang City, because in a short time, the emperor will be forced to threaten to agree to Qi Xiaobai and King Wei Hui and give them what they want!" Zhang Yi looked at Qin Zhaogong and said.

Qin Zhaogong nodded, in his thoughts, the combined forces of Qi and Wei would break through Luoyang City, and a new era would open from then on.

But what Qin Zhaogong didn't expect was that Qi Xiaobai didn't dare to risk the world's disobedience to kill the monarch and shuffle the cards.

After all, Qi Xiaobai didn't have the ability to predict the future, and he didn't know what the consequences of doing this would be, and he didn't know if he could afford the consequences.

Of course, if Qi Xiaobai doesn't do this, King Wei Hui won't do it either, after all, the current Wei State is no longer the Wei State at the peak of King Wei Wu.

He didn't dare to take risks, if it was the moment when King Wei Wu had just experienced the Great War in the Central Plains and became the co-lord of the world, King Wei Wu might dare to do so.

"Yes, with the ability of the royal family, how to fight against the Qi State and the Wei State?" Qin Zhaogong thought about it and nodded, what Zhang Yi said was very likely, the emperor was weak, how could he dare to go against the affairs of Qi and Wei?

Of course, Zhang Yi also had a doubt, he heard that Qi Xiaobai swallowed Luoyang, this emperor actually sent someone to meet Qi Xiaobai, this place made him feel very puzzled, he couldn't figure out how a weak emperor dared to do such a thing.
