Chapter 581 - 581.Maintaining Hegemony?
Although the nations call themselves allies, they will not hesitate to betray this ally when it comes to their own interests.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "I, the Qi State, is the leader of the alliance, and your Qin State should have no opinion, right?" ”
Zhang Yi was silent for a while, but he didn't immediately agree to Qi Xiaobai, although Qin Guo didn't care about the position of this alliance leader, but just gave it to Qi Xiaobai in vain, this Zhang Yi was a little unwilling, he wanted to at least get something, and gave up this unrelated position as the only alliance leader to Qi Xiaobai.
"King Qi Huan, Yijue's is a bit impossible, my Qin State borders the Four Kingdoms, which can fight against Korea, Zhao State, Chu State, and can also enter the territory of Wei State and help Wei State, this must be the most hard-working, why should the position of the leader of this alliance be given to Qi State?" Zhang Yi looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"The position of the leader of this alliance should be given to the country with the most strength, and my Qin State must be the country with the most strength with one enemy and three!" Zhang Yi looked at Qi Xiaobai and said.
"Ridiculous, my Qi country is the overlord of the empire, the national strength, the military strength is the strongest among all the countries, we contribute, will it be inferior to you as a western state?" Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Yi and said.
The State of Qi has gradually become stronger, although the State of Qin is known as a strong Qin, but in the eyes of Qi Xiaobai, it is just a western state, a small barbarian country far away from the Central Plains.
Of course, Qi Xiaobai only despised the Qin State in public, but in terms of strategy and tactics, Qi Xiaobai still attached great importance to the Qin State.
After all, Qiang Qin's army is called the army of tigers and wolves, and it has always been crushing against foreign tribes, and it has dominated Xirong for many years, and its ability cannot be underestimated.
But in order to raise morale and increase one's prestige, in this language, it is still necessary to make a state of contempt.
If Qi Xiaobai attaches too much importance to the Qin State, it will increase the popularity of others and destroy his own prestige.
Of course, Qi Xiaobai despised the Qin State in his words, just like the Central Plains despised the Qi State, the Qin State, and the Three Kingdoms of Chu, and they also regarded the Qin State, the Chu State, and the Qi State as barbarians.
After all, in the early days of the empire, these three places were all places of poor mountains and bad waters, especially the Qin and Chu states.
It is also because of the harsh environment of these two countries that they have a strong heart of expansion, allowing them to dominate one side from a small country.
Zhang Yi listened to Qi Xiaobai's words: "Qi Guo wants to contribute, how are you going to contribute?" ”
"As the leader of the alliance, our Qi State will definitely protect the security of Wei State, as long as Chu State and Zhao State dare to send troops to Wei State, our Qi State will definitely set foot on Handan and Yingdu!" Qi Xiaobai said to Zhang Yi and Wei Wuji.
Qi Xiaobai's strategic ambition is the Song Dynasty, and this Song State wants to get it, and this Wei State is the key.
Therefore, Qi Xiaobai wanted to try his best to win over the Wei State.
After getting the Song State, when the time comes, the State of Chu and the State of Zhao will attack the State of Qi, and he will not fight alone, at least there will be a State of Wei who can help him.
As for South Korea, Qi Xiaobai's idea is to hand it over to the Qin State, and the Qin State wants to form an alliance, so he must have his own ideas.
If he wanted to take sides, he would definitely not form an alliance with Qi and Wei, he must have his own strategic ideas.
No matter who Qin's intentions are for Zhao, Korea, or Chu, it will be beneficial to Qi.
This is also the unity of strategic will of the three countries, they have a common enemy, maybe the interests are not the same, but the enemy is the same.
Qi Xiaobai's heart to swallow the Song Dynasty, the countries did not know, and they would not think of it in the short term, because of the form and strategic intentions of the Song State, the countries would not think of the Qi State swallowing the Song Dynasty.
Qi also knew that the countries would not realize that the Qi State wanted to swallow the Song Dynasty, so they dared to swallow the Song Dynasty, if the thoughts of the Qi State were exposed, could the countries still let the Qi State swallow the Song Dynasty?
The Song Kingdom is to obtain a strong resource reserve and a huge population, and it only takes about a year to two years to bring huge benefits to it.
The princes all want to seize such a piece of fat sheep, but the princes are also afraid of others to seize it.
Once the intentions of the Qi State are exposed, then it will be extremely difficult for the Qi State to seize the Song State, but if the other party does not know its purpose, it will be captured instantly, then the princes will have nothing to do.
Of course, there will be a series of chain reactions at that time, but the powerful Qi State, what is there to fear in the face of Chu and Zhao?
Moreover, there is also a Wei State as an ally to support, and what Qi Xiaobai has to do now is to make Wei State feel a strong threat from Zhao State and Chu State.
In this way, he can tie the Wei State with himself, so that after the Qi State captures the Song State, he will not face a strong enemy alone!
For the ally of Qin in the west, Qi Xiaobai just hoped that he could contain Korea, or Chu and Zhao.
Of course, Qi Xiaobai and his cabinet also judged that the Qin State had strong hostility towards these three kingdoms.
Qin joined the alliance between Qi and Wei, but it was also worried that Korea would join the alliance between Chu and Zhao.
Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Yi: "Can King Qin want me to protect his allies like this?" ”
Wei Wuji listened to Qi Xiaobai's words, he was a little moved, and muttered in his heart, this is what being a big brother looks like.
However, Wei Wuji, who is a peerless national soldier, can also clearly judge that Qi Xiaobai also has a purpose in doing this, of course, in Wei Wuji's eyes, Qi Xiaobai's purpose is nothing more than to maintain his imperial hegemony.
And Zhang Yi's approach to Qi Xiaobai also thinks that Qi Xiaobai wants to maintain his imperial hegemony.
The state of Chu and the state of Zhao are allied and want to carve up the state of Wei, and the state of Wei, which occupies the core part of the Jin land, once it is divided, the national strength of the state of Zhao and the state of Chu will increase significantly, and I am afraid that the hegemony of the state of Qi will be unstable.
In order to maintain its hegemony, Qi must protect Wei from infringement.
This is what Zhang Yi and Wei Wuji think, of course, when the news of the Triple Alliance spreads, the major princes will think that Qi Xiaobai is nothing more than trying to maintain his hegemony.
Because of the alliance between Chu and Zhao, after carving up Wei, it will threaten the hegemony of Qi in the empire, and even the hegemony of Qi in the east.
This is something that Qi cannot let happen......
If the princes misunderstand, Qi Xiaobai will let him misunderstand, after all, once his true strategic intentions are exposed, I am afraid that the princes will all unite and guard against him together.
And the Qin State is also quite supportive of the Qi State to maintain its hegemony, and the Qi State will definitely face the Zhao State and the Chu State to maintain its hegemony, so these two countries have no intention of caring about the Qin State.
He Qin State can develop in its obscene development, slowly plotting against Korea.
Of course, Qin Guo also knew that the whale swallowed a South Korea, and the price was also very huge, he just wanted to encroach on South Korea, and he did not have the idea of swallowing South Korea.
Qin is the army of tigers and wolves, and has always been feared by the Central Plains countries, once you swallow South Korea, I am afraid that they will immediately turn around and attack you.
However, when the Qin State went to attack Korea and weaken Korea, the major princes were quite supportive.
