Chapter 1035: Within reach

"Yes, he is brilliant and ambitious, this is the advantage of Renjun, but these two advantages are placed on Qi Wangdi, who cannot tolerate people and is difficult to listen to the opinions of others, this is the most fatal shortcoming, even more fatal than the defect of Zhida and talent."

Speaking of this, Que Guanzi sighed: "The intelligence is outstanding, so the king of Qi easily saw the potential crisis of the Qi country, the strength of the Tian clan in the Qi dynasty is too great, and it is not even weaker than the princes of the Chu State, and at the beginning of the establishment of the Tian clan, the Tian clan wantonly divided the Tian clan and went to all parts of the Qi country, which also led to the strength of the local Ueda clan was only weaker than the feudal monarch of the Chu state.

And more importantly, the Tian family has only been established for a hundred years, and the Tian family in various places is still related to each other, and they can still help each other. Compared to the Tian clan in various places where they could help each other, the relationship between the king of Qi and them has become estranged, and the Tian clan has become a clan that helped the Tian clan quickly stabilize the power a hundred years ago has evolved into a national crisis.

After seeing the crisis of the Tian clan in the land of Qi Wangdi, he began to suppress the power of the Tian clan in the country at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, and divided Tian Wen's Xiangguo into two, which is the proof of this. ”

Lord Zhao nodded when he heard this, and King Qi divided Xiangguo into left and right prime ministers, although the most important purpose was to weaken Xiangguo's power. However, for Tian Wen, who gave up the position of Wei Xiang and should take over the position of Xiang Guo, this is that the King of Qi is suppressing him and suppressing the Tian family.

Therefore, it is impossible to say that Tian Wen did not have the resentment of the Qi King in his heart.

On the other side, Que Guanzi sighed: "There is nothing wrong with Qi Wangdi attacking the Tian family, but Qi Wangdi can neither entrap the sons of the Jixia School Palace, nor can he win over the talents of the clan, and at the same time lose the two most important talents of the Qi State to help, which is a fatal flaw."

When King Qi Xuan was alive before, he was the most talented monarch among the countries, although King Qi Xuan died, but King Qi Xuan still left a large number of talents to King Qi.

It is precisely because of these talents that the King of Qi continues to develop the Qi State and makes the Qi State stronger and stronger. However, the talents left by King Xuan of Qi will eventually run out one day, and the King of Qi himself cannot recruit talents, once there is no one available in the Qi State, it will be the beginning of the decline of the Qi State.

It's a pity that Qi Wangdi can't see this, he thinks that the prosperity of Qi is his own credit, but he doesn't know that this is the rich legacy left by King Qi Xuan, and it is a large number of talents left by King Qi Xuan to him, which makes Qi State thriving. ”

Master Zhao listened to the explanation of the crane crown, and suddenly found that the Qi country, which was close at hand, the extremely powerful Qi country, seemed to be very easy to deal with.

It's just that as soon as he thought of the Qi country that sat in the land of Qilu, the sphere of influence had expanded to the north of the river, and had taken over the land of Sidong and Huaibei, he couldn't help frowning: "Sir, although the land of Qi has a fatal problem, but the country of Qi is a big country with a land of more than 2,000 miles, such a country may be weak, but it seems impossible for a widow to want Linzi." ”

"No, it is very likely that the master father wants to occupy Linzi, the great ambition of the Qi royal land has pushed the Qi country to the brink of destruction."

Que Guanzi shook his head and smiled: "Qi State borders the five kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, Wei, Song and Chu, and King Yan and Qi have the hatred of killing their father.

On the side of Qi and Chu, since the annexation of Yue by Chu, the sphere of influence of Chu has retreated from the land of Qilu to Huainan, and Qi has swallowed hundreds of miles or even nearly thousands of miles of territory in one go. In addition, the State of Qi launched three successive attacks on Chu, and the sphere of influence of the State of Chu almost shrank to Huainan, such a big hatred, with the state of Chu with great feelings of revenge, the whole country of Chu must be staring at the State of Qi, as long as there is an opportunity, the State of Chu will definitely attack the State of Qi in the north and recover the lost territory.

At the same time, in order to avoid the edge of Qi State, Chu State deliberately ceded the land of Sixi to Song State, and then Song State coveted the four hundred miles of plastered land of Sixi, and swallowed the land of Sixi regardless of the consequences.

Now, the bad consequences of the Song State swallowing the land of Sixi have appeared, the Qi State wants to attack Chu, if it attacks the Huaibei Land of the Chu State, then it will not be able to bypass the threshold of the Song State, and even if the territory of the Chu State is captured, the Qi State will not be able to reap the benefits. If the State of Qi attacks Huainan, and the naval division of the State of Chu is invincible across the Jianghuai, the difficulty of the State of Qi attacking Huainan is too high.

Therefore, since the Song State swallowed the land of Sixi, whether the Song State is willing or not, the Song State will become the bridgehead of the Chu State to defend the Qi State, whether the Song State is willing or not, the Song State will be tied to the chariot of the Chu State, and whether the Song King is willing or not, he will bow to the King of Chu. ”

When Lord Zhao heard this, he suddenly realized: "I see, a few years ago, the widow felt that the king of Chu gave the land of Sixi to the Song State because he wanted to bribe the Song State and prevent the Song State from joining the Lianheng Alliance, but the Qi State organized three Lianheng attacks on Chu in succession, and the Song State participated in it. Originally, the widow was still laughing at the king of Chu for making this decision and giving the land to the Song State for nothing.

But judging from the situation that the Qi State has attacked Chu one after another, but has obtained, the King of Chu is still the King of Chu, still so cunning and cunning, or so scheming, that even the always shrewd King Song fell into the trap without knowing it. ”

"Master Father is wise." Que Guanzi smiled and said, "As the master father said, the Song State has fallen into the trap of the Chu State and embarked on the road of confronting the Qi State. On the side of the Qi State, Qi Wangdi has always had great ambitions, and his ambition is not only to maintain his hegemony, so after he suppresses the Chu State, he will inevitably attack the surrounding countries.

Among the five surrounding countries, Chu cannot fight, and the king only needs to continue to maintain the Zhao Yan alliance, and the king of Qi will not send troops to Zhao Yan and the two countries.

When the strength of the Six Kingdoms is exhausted and you ask your master to mediate, as long as the king secretly spreads the threat theory of Qi to Wei, takes the opportunity to intimidate Wei, and is willing to mediate the relationship between Chu and Wei, then Wei will definitely take the opportunity to move closer to our Zhao State under the condition of fear of Qi and Chu, and in the case of unwilling to cede the land promised to Qi State.

In this way, the next target of Qi State's troops is only a Song State that has just expanded its territory for thousands of miles and is already in internal and external troubles. ”

When Master Zhao heard this, he immediately smiled, and said with an excited expression: "Qi is big and Song is small, Song is definitely not the opponent of Qi State, but Song State is not weak, so it is absolutely impossible for Qi State to annex Song State in one go."

Therefore, as long as the widow is about to be unable to withstand the Song State, unites the strength of the six kingdoms of the Three Jin, Chu, Song and Yan, and divides the Qi State under the banner of saving the Song Dynasty, then the Qi State will undoubtedly be defeated.

And the wisdom of the king of Qi is far inferior to the king of Qi Xuan, when the king of Qi Xuan was able to withstand the siege of the six countries, and there was no clan nearby, and there was no virtuous minister in the distance, the king of Qi would definitely be defeated. At that time, the widow might be able to break through Linzi and enter the Qi country. ”

Speaking of this, Master Zhao frowned again and said: "It's just that, sir, the widow still has a problem, that is, how can we ensure that when the Qi State invades the Song Dynasty, Chu and Wei will not take advantage of the fire to rob and collude with the Qi State?" ”

Quan Guanzi smiled and responded: "Master, don't worry about the Chu State at all, the Chu State has been besieged three times in a row, and the Chu State has lost its troops and land one after another, and the Chu State has been greatly weakened at this time, and the King of Chu is bent on changing the law, and he has no time to care about it in a short time." Therefore, for as short as five years or as long as ten years, the state of Chu will only focus on the interior.

If the king of Chu fails to change the law and triggers civil strife in Chu, it will be difficult for Chu to develop outward within twenty years.

Therefore, the ministers expected that the war between the Chu State and the Song State would only secretly support the Song State to resist the Qi State, and gradually return to the Chu land occupied by the Song State, rather than eliminate the Song State together with the Qi State.

Because of the death of the Song State, the Chu State will face the troops of the Qi State, which is extremely unfavorable to the Chu State that has not recovered its vitality. ”

"Well, what Mr. said is that the Chu State has been weakened badly in recent years, and there are also many contradictions within the Chu State, so there is no need to worry about the Chu State disturbing the situation in a short period of time." Master Zhao nodded, and then said with a smile:

"As for the Wei side, as long as the Chu State does not stir up the situation, then the widows can completely unite with Korea to suppress the Wei State, so that our Three Jin Alliance will be consistent with the outside world, and the army will all act together. As long as King Han is on the side of the widow, the widow will not face the soldiers of the Qi State alone for the sake of the Song State.

Chu and Wei will not move, as long as the Qi State falls into the quagmire of the Song State, with the conceit of the Qi king, then the Qi State will be decided. ”

Seeing that Master Zhao was a little thorough, he immediately nodded with satisfaction, and then arched his hand: "Great King, the minister's plan is like this, first win over Korea, then win over Wei, and then establish a three-Jin alliance with Zhao as the main body."

After the establishment of the Three Jin Alliance, immediately in the name of cultivation and defense against the Qin State, the Three Jin Dynasty united the Qin State to stop the Qin State in Hexi, and then sat back and watched the changes in the situation between the Qi and Song countries.

In this way, the state of Chu needs to cultivate for a long time, and the state of Qin is stopped by us in the west of the river, then the two countries of Qin and Chu will not be able to expand for a long time.

Once the Qi State incident occurs, then the master father can immediately unite the six countries to attack Qi and take the opportunity to destroy the Qi State in one fell swoop. As soon as the Qi State was destroyed, the master father could return the Song State to the Song State, and then give Huaibei to Chu and Wei, let Wei and Chu fight each other in Huaibei, and Zhao only took the land north of the Great Wall of Qi.

In this way, Zhao could continue to maintain the alliance of the Three Jin Dynasty and let the three kingdoms of Han, Wei, and Song continue to contain Qin and Chu.

Then, Zhao only needs to keep an eye on the Yan State in the rear and encroach on the Yan State, so that as long as the Yan State is destroyed, the Zhao State can sit on the land of the four kingdoms of Qi, Zhao, Yan, and Zhongshan, and at that time the Zhao State will be a big country with the sea in the east, the Great Wall in the back, and a land of 5,000 miles.

At that time, the situation in the world will be clear. ”

With the narration of the Crane Guanzi, Master Zhao's father clenched his fists, and his face couldn't help but show a look of yearning.

At this moment, it seems that the whole world is within reach.
