When he heard King Chu's inquiry, his heart was suddenly relieved.

Just now he embarrassed the King of Chu, and he just wanted to see the King of Chu's personality.

If the king of Chu is angry, then this is the tyrannical king, and it cannot be supplemented.

If the king of Chu does not admit this, this means that the king of Chu is too reserved and conceited, and such a self-contained monarch cannot be assisted.

If the king of Chu admits his mistake on his face, and then hastily terminates the conversation, this is inner dissatisfaction, this kind of king who is inconsistent on the outside will definitely make it difficult for the ministers to adapt, and then the ministers will disperse, which is the most unsupportable.

Fortunately, after the temptation just now, the king of Chu was very open-minded, and although he was a little embarrassed by the courtiers, he still sincerely asked for countermeasures.

At this time, Que Guanzi looked at the blue and black hair of the King of Chu, remembered the charter of the prince who had only come to the world not long ago, and made a decision in his heart.

So, he arched his hand and said: "King, the crisis of Chu now is not on the outside, but on the inside. ”

Speaking of this, Que Guanzi changed his words: "When the minister was young, he once traveled in Qin to watch the politics of the Shang monarch..."

Xiong Huai heard Que Guanzi talking about the Chu State, and suddenly turned to the Qin State again, his face did not move at all, and he still looked like he was listening.

Seeing this, Qu Guanzi bowed his head slightly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and continued: "In the past, the Shang monarch was in Qin, presiding over the change of the law, changing the customs and changing the law, and the subjects of the Qin State had many complaints.

Ten years after the implementation of the new law, in the Qin State, the nobles resented, the people complained, and the resentment accumulated for ten years, like nine feet of tired eggs, and it was in danger of overturning at any time.

At the time of the collapse of the Qin state, Shang Jun united more than ten princes to worship the Marquis of Wei and encouraged the Marquis of Wei to become king. The Marquis of Wei planned to consider himself the Son of Heaven.

Seeing this, the world abandoned the Wei State one after another, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi and Chu moved when they heard the wind. Among them, Shang Jun led the Qin army to break the Wei State and take the land west of the river.

After this battle, the Qin State saw the benefits of the new law, and the internal worries were calmed by the external war, and the Qin State was able to turn the crisis into peace.

And the Wei State also declined because of this battle, and since then it has ceased to be strong. ”

Speaking of this, Que Guanzi arched his hand and said: "The king, the minister is also a Chu person, and he knows the situation of Chu well, the greatness of Chu is far greater than that of Qin, and the worries of Chu are far greater than that of Qin.

Therefore, for the state of Chu, what is needed is not a small profit, but a monstrous achievement, so as to calm the internal troubles.

And Song Guo··· It's too small to make the king's heart move and move.

What the king really needs is a big enough 'Wei State'! ”

Hearing this, Xiong Huai's heart moved, pretending not to understand, and said, "What Mr. means is that the widow should choose Wei to do it." ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai immediately nodded and said: "Mr. is reasonable, the main force of Wei is scattered, as long as Chu sends troops, it will definitely be able to win the battle and gain a large amount of territory." ”

Que Guanzi was stunned, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "The king misunderstood the meaning of the minister, that Wei State is in the middle of the world, it is a place of four wars, and it can't be defended if you get it, so what's the use of it."

The way of using troops is to win in battle, although they will win, they will not take merit, they will seek to win and get the land, and they will not take the land for merit, they will seek to get the land and they can defend it, and they will not think it will be meritorious, and they will seek to defend it and the country will not be weak. ”

Speaking of this, Que Guanzi arched his hand and said: "It is difficult to attack the Qin State, and it is difficult to defend the Wei Han State, so if the king wants to solve the internal hidden dangers, it must be the Qi State." ”

"Qi Country!" Xiong Huai's heart moved when he heard this, revealing a confused look.

At this time, Xiong Huai had already made up his mind that he would never let Crane Guanzi leave Shouchun City.

Thinking about it, Xiong Huai asked suspiciously: "Sir, the country of Qi is rich and powerful, most of the sages in the world have gathered in the country of Qi, in the past, the widow once joined forces with all countries to attack Qi, and not long ago the country of Zhao also led countries to attack Qi, but none of them hurt the foundation of the country of Qi."

For the widow and the Chu State, fighting against such a country, a small victory is useless, and a big victory cannot greatly weaken it, but will make enemies.

Mr. asked the widow to target the Qi State, and the widow felt that it was not as good as the Wei State! ”

Que Guanzi thought that in order to ensure victory, the king of Chu deliberately chose an easy target to defeat.

So, Que Guanzi hurriedly spoke: "Great King, the Wei State seems to be easy to defeat and capture, but the Sanjin Dynasty has a close relationship, and Er Zhou is next to it.

The relationship between the Three Jin Dynasty is close, so if Zhao Han has spare strength, he will never sit idly by and watch the Wei State be captured by the Chu State.

And the second week is where the Son of Heaven lives, and where the world's most important weapons are, Qin and Qi will never sit idly by and watch the Chu State coerce the Wei State.

Chu Vawei, a small victory is useless, and a big victory will inevitably lead to a siege from all over the world. Therefore, the minister thought that the war against Wei had no effect on quelling the civil strife in Chu, and would even have a counterproductive effect. ”

As he spoke, Qu Guanzi saw that the King of Chu was still listening, and then spoke: "This is not the case with the Qi State, although the Qi State is strong, but the person of the King of Qi is so proud of his own achievements." When he encounters difficulties, he will reprimand his courtiers, just as he forced Meng Weijun Tianwen away before.

And once he succeeds, he will take credit for himself, and then ignore the courtiers around him, just as he alienates the Tian clan.

In summer, when it is extremely hot, the weather will be cooler, and in winter, when it is extremely cold, the temperature will rise.

Heaven and earth are like this, and so are countries, when a country reaches its peak prosperity, it will naturally weaken. The land of the king of Qi, which is so happy, is matched with the rich and powerful Qi country, how can such a Qi country not decay. ”

When Xiong Huai heard this, he asked curiously: "Since Mr. knows the truth of prosperity and decline, why did the Zhao Kingdom besiege Qi State one after another when Mr. was in Zhao State?" ”

"The King." Crane Guanzi responded: "The minister has traveled in the country of Qi for many years, and he knows the people of the king of Qi. Qi Wangdi has been smart since he was a child, and his talent is not weaker than others, and since Qi Wangdi ascended the throne, he has won victories one after another, and the country of Qi has become stronger and stronger.

For such a Qi king, in addition to assisting him, let him continue to win, until he finally won and was arrogant, there was no room for him, in addition to the battle of the first battle, there was actually another way, that is, to thwart him. ”

Speaking of this, Que Guanzi sighed: "Before the accession of Qi Wangdi to the throne, the praise of the ministers grew, and after the accession to the throne, there were almost no setbacks.

Liyun: If the jade is not cut, it will not be made. People who don't experience setbacks are prone to breaking. Wu Wangfucha was a model of this kind of person before.

Wu Wangfu was not enthroned strong, Wu people all called him virtuous, and his enthronement, the south broke Yue, the north broke Qi, and coerced the Jin State, dominating the world.

However, once the state of Wu was defeated by Yue, it collapsed, and was defeated three times in nine years, and finally died and the country was destroyed.

Therefore, Zhao led the five countries to besiege Qi in order to break the self-confidence and self-esteem of the king of Qi and make him doubt himself until he finally gave up on himself. ”

At this time, Que Guanzi said with great regret: "It's a pity that Zhao Guo's plan failed, and now even Zhao Guo has surrendered to Qi State." It's a pity, it's a pity! ”

"Still." Que Guanzi said confidently in an instant: "Although the Zhao State was defeated, but this also contributed to the arrogance of the Qi Wangdi, after the Qi State was alive and the Zhao State succumbed, he hurriedly sent troops to the Yan State, even if he captured the entire Hejian region, he would not retreat, and he would make the Yan State surrender before stopping."

It can be seen that Qi Wangdi is now so arrogant that he can't listen to the opinions of his courtiers. ”

At this time, Que Guanzi arched his hand and said: "Yes, the minister thinks that the king should attack the Qi country instead of attacking the Wei State." Attacking Wei, Cheng will erect a strong enemy five, cut Qi, and Cheng will eliminate a strong enemy in the east.

Once the king succeeds in conquering Qi and occupies half of the wealth of Qi, the foundation of the emperor can be achieved. ”

"So..." Xiong Huai looked at the crane crown and said: "What Mr. means is to let the widow reject the Song Kingdom, further help the arrogance of the King of Qi, and then wait for the arrogance of the King of Qi to go crazy, and then succeed in the battle." ”

Quan Guanzi smiled and said, "The king is wise. ”

Xiong Huai pondered for a long time when he heard this, and then looked at the crane crown expectantly and said: "Listening to Mr. today, the widow has gained a lot, and the widow wants to ask Mr. to stay by his side, and often asks Mr. for advice, I don't know what Mr. thinks." ”

When the crane heard this, he immediately bowed down: "The minister greets the king." ”
