Chapter 452 452.The Threat of the Qin State
"You can tell me about the information from Uncle Bao here!" Qi Xiaobai said to Wei Dexian.
"The Qin State has taken Xiang Yan hostage, thus controlling the entire Xiang family, and they intend to help the Xiang family become independent, and they have the idea of encroaching on the western part of the Chu State!" Wei Dexian said to Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai nodded: "The ambition of this Qin State seems to be not small, I want to seize the eastern part of Chu State, he wants to seize the western part of Chu State!" ”
Qi Xiaobai was not very shocked by what Qin State did, the name of Qiang Qin had not been passed on for a day or two days, if it hadn't been for the appearance of Wu Qi, a fierce man, to help Wei State, Qin State and his tiger and wolf army, it can be said that they would have already settled in the Central Plains.
Among the princes that Qi Xiaobai felt in his heart, the Qin State was the one that should be most guarded against, although the Chu State seemed to be strong, but the Chu State was like scattered sand, but the Qin State was highly integrated.
According to the intelligence of the secret guard, the Qin State is a country with a high execution power, and the goal of the Qin State is definitely not to be on the side of the side, but to enter the Central Plains like the goal of the Chu State.
At that time, when King Qin Zhao married Ying Kexin to him, it could be seen that Yingji had the ambition to dominate the world.
If the Qin State really tore apart the western part of the Chu State, then in the west, who could still stop the Qin State?
With the Wei State? Sanjin, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be the opponent of Qin, if Wu Qi is still in Wei, Qin may not be able to get out of the pass, and has been outside the pass, but Wu Qi has left, Wei Huiwang of Wei is a person with great ambition and talent, and there is no capable person under his hands, unless Xinling Jun goes out of the mountain.
Otherwise, the Three Jin Dynasty would not be able to stop the iron cavalry of the Qin State at all, and Qi Xiaobai began to think about how to block the eastward advance of the Qin State.
Although Qi has not made any moves recently, Qi also has the ambition to dominate the world.
Qi Xiaobai knew that if he wanted to dominate the world and replace Zhou, he couldn't covet one city and one place, otherwise he would die without a place to be buried.
Qi Xiaobai knew that if he wanted to dominate the world and replace Zhou, he must first be strong, so Qi Xiaobai began to carry out a marine strategy, bringing a large number of materials and powerful armaments overseas, and secondly, improving people's livelihood, so that the people of Qi can live a healthy life, and let them identify with the ruler of Qi.
The internal pacification is good, externally, externally, the Qi State actually pursues a policy of isolation, allied with the Chu State, seeks self-protection, and will not be attacked by Western countries.
Thus sending envoys to travel among the nations, provoking wars among them, thus taking advantage of the fishermen, and in this regard, weakening the countries little by little.
When the countries are almost weakened, then the Qi country will go west, and the invincible army will appear on the stage of history, sweep the world, and complete the great cause of replacing the Zhou.
When the Three Jin Dynasty was strong, the Qi State took the lead in provoking the internal contradictions of the Three Jin Dynasty, thereby weakening the Three Jin Dynasty, and it was also because of this time that the Qi State ascended the posture of the imperial overlord, and the princes all knew that there was a powerful country in the east of the empire, named 'Qi'!
The Three Jin Dynasty was weakened, and the State of Chu was reformed by Wu Qi and became stronger, although the State of Qi was an ally of the State of Chu, but the State of Chu was strong, and the State of Qi was not happy at all.
The so-called between countries, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests, today we are friends, tomorrow, we may be the enemy of the sea of blood, of course, we are the enemy of the sea of blood today, we may be friends of the heart tomorrow.
The strength of the Chu State will threaten the hegemony of the Qi State in the Empire, which the Qi State does not want to see, and the Qi State has always been worried about how to find a breakthrough in the Chu State and weaken it, but the Chu State has caused a chain reaction because of the reform, and civil strife broke out.
And the State of Qi sent Tian Ji into the State of Chu, thus provoking a civil war, helping Zhaoyang to become independent, and weakening the State of Chu to a certain extent, and the Three Jin also entered the State of Chu, and the State of Qin seized one side of the land, to a certain extent, this is also weakening the State of Chu.
If the State of Qi had not sent Tian Ji there, Zhaoyang would not have been able to stop Wu Qi's army, and if Wu Qi had eliminated Zhaoyang, then who would be able to stop the west of the State of Chu? The Three Jin Alliance? The Xiang family controlled by the Qin State?
I'm afraid that it won't be long before the seized territory will be returned safely, and its own strength will be greatly weakened.
And now that the State of Chu has been weakened, and the State of Qin in the west, which has seized the western part of the State of Chu, has a strong army, and is called the 'Division of the Tiger and Wolf' More importantly, the State of Qin is far away from the State of Qi, although it seems that there is no threat, but Qi Xiaobai knows that it is very threatening.
Because there is nothing that can stop the eastward advance of the Qin State, if the Qi State does not stand up, when the Qin State is eliminated one after another, it will be his Qi State that is facing it, and the Qi State knows that he cannot implement the appeasement policy, otherwise this will boost the prestige of the Qin State, and when the Qin State destroys the Three Jins, it will be his Qi State at that time, and it will be very difficult for him Qi State to fight against a Qin State that occupies the Three Jin Dynasty with the strength of one country.
So at this time, Qi Xiaobai knew that it was time to weaken the Qin State once, but the Qin State and the Qi State were blood countries, and there was a marriage between the two countries.
But Qi Xiaobai knew that at this time, he had to rely on the Chu State and the Three Jins, the Three Jin Dynasty had always regarded the Chu State as a threat, and at the same time, they also regarded the Qin State as a great threat.
And the Qin State deprived the western part of the Chu State, how could this Chu State give up?
And Qi Xiaobai supported the three Jin and Chu from behind, so as to launch an offensive against Qin and weaken Qin to ensure the hegemony of Qi.
"The Qin State has annexed the western part of the Chu State, so the next target must be the Wei State, and we can't let this Qin State go unchecked, implement a policy of appeasement, and let it develop strong!" Qi Xiaobai looked at the ministers and said.
At this time, Shusun Tong stood up and said: "What the king said is extremely true! ”
"Do you have a plan?" Qi Xiaobai looked at his uncle and asked.
Shusun Tong smiled embarrassedly, what kind of trick did he have, this kind of strategic thing, his uncle and Sun Tong didn't understand it at all, and he didn't understand it very well, at most, he managed and managed logistics, and recommended a few murderous lock-picking and other chickens and dogs to Qi Xiaobai.
And this kind of large-scale strategy, plotting the world's affairs, his uncle Sun Tong thinks that he does not have this ability.
But the uncle and grandson informed him that he couldn't say that he didn't understand at this time, otherwise wouldn't this be a drop in Qi Xiaobai's heart? So how do you mix it up after that? I am afraid that my career will also be profoundly affected!
Shusun Tong pondered for a while, then looked at Qi Xiaobai and said: "Your Majesty, this Qin State really has to be solved, and we can't make the Qin State strong, otherwise the Qin State will advance eastward, which will be unfavorable to our Qi State, but now that the problem of the Chu State has not been solved, how can we go to the Qin State again?" ”
"One heart is indispensable, we must first solve the affairs of the Chu State, and secondly, we should solve the affairs of the Qin State, and now the focus should be on the Chu State!" Shusun Tong looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
