In addition to discussing the division of Zheng Guo, Uncle Gong and Han Xiang were also discussing the affairs of Sishang and Song Guo.

Uncle Gong was wary of Sishang, but he understood that Wei was powerless now, so Wei urgently needed allies to fight Sishang on the eastern front.

The situation at the time of Wenhou has now been ruined, and the Qin State has begun to change the law, because of the issue of the ownership of the West River, it is impossible for the relationship between Wei and Qin to be reconciled, unless the Wei State hands over the West River.

On the eastern front, Wei wanted to reconcile with Chu and pull Chu into the front line against the Mo family.

Uncle Acne also knows that once Wei and Han carve up Zheng State, then the relationship between Chu and Wei will drop to the freezing point again, and it is impossible to dissolve the distrust and century-old grudge between each other.

However, if Zheng Guo does not give it to South Korea, there will always be a mustard in the relations between Wei and South Korea, and South Korea must not give Zheng Guo, and it can only contribute to Wei's external strategy.

Uncle Gong has no choice, if South Korea gets all Zheng, it will be more difficult to contain, the situation of one super and two strong within the Three Jin Dynasty has been broken, Zhao is continuing the change of Gong Zhonglian, if South Korea gets all the territory of Zheng again, Wei's diplomatic situation will be even more ugly.

Fortunately, when Heze met four years ago, the state of Chu was going back to Yuguan, which made it natural for the state of Chu and Sishang to be at odds once the Song state was controlled by the Mo family.

The policy of strategic contraction was set by Uncle Acne, and Wei Zheng also accepted it after figuring out the situation, but Uncle Acne hoped that with the help of Zheng Guo's incident, he could establish a more threatening common enemy: the Mo family in Sishang.

As a result, the relationship between Wei and Han continued to remain a true alliance.

South Korea's wishful thinking was to exchange land, using Huangchi, Yongqiu, Xiangling and other cities close to the Song State for the Wei land that was about to be carved up.

In this way, it is equivalent to connecting some broken enclaves in Korea, and at the same time, the cities on the front line against the Mo family are replaced by the cities of Zheng Guo, and the Wei State is on the front line.

This wishful thinking Han Hou and Han Xiang knew that it was impossible for Wei to accept it, but they could use it as a bargaining chip, so as to obtain greater benefits in the division of Zheng Guo.

Uncle Gong's purpose of seeing through South Korea at a glance is obvious: South Korea withdraws from Huangchi and other places, and Wei has to face two problems.

One is that South Korea has left the front line against Sishang.

The second is that if Chu and Wei go to war, it will be easier for Korea to blackmail Wei.

Because with the current national strength of the Chu State, there is no way to start a war on two fronts, either go north by the line of Nanyang Lushan, or you can only go north by the line of Yuguan Daliang.

In the direction of Lushan in Nanyang, although South Korea bore the brunt, there was a direct threat to the direction of Yiluo, which could directly approach Zhou Tianzi, and even cut Wei into two sections.

If Chu takes the road north of Lushan, Wei must be saved, and Wei will send troops without South Korea's request.

But if South Korea gives up Huangchi Yongqiu, then if Chu goes north along the Yuguan Daliang line, South Korea can maintain neutrality and coerce Wei with a neutral attitude to obtain more benefits.

Similarly, the state of Chu also has a reason to make peace with South Korea alone, so that South Korea can eat two families and sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

Since it is clear that it is impossible for Wei to accept it, it is to sit on the ground and pay back the money on the spot.

Uncle Acne's attitude towards South Korea in this negotiation is actually irritable, and it is all up to this point, and he is still intriguing for petty profits, and he does not consider the threat of Sishang at all.

Sishang and Qin are separated from each other, Wei and Han are sandwiched in the middle, and there is Chu in the south, the situation is obviously extremely dangerous, but the Sanjin Dynasty is still fighting infighting, how can Uncle Acne not be irritable?

It's just that at this time, there is no talent who can make ink together with the six countries, and it is impossible for Uncle Gong to gain the trust of all countries as Wei Xiang.

Moreover, although Sishang has risen rapidly in recent years, the princes of the world will not forget the Wei State that fought on all sides and dominated the Central Plains.

In particular, Uncle Gong understands that once Zheng Guo is carved up under the pretext of the anti-Mexico alliance this time, the credibility of Wei will be completely bankrupt.

Historically, the landmark event of the Warring States Turbulent Times, which completely lost the so-called aristocratic spirit of the Spring and Autumn Period, was that Korea took advantage of the opportunity of Wei Chu's war alliance allies to occupy Zheng State and force Wei State to admit it; This kind of deception and deception reached its peak when the Qin State detained King Chu Huai, which completely abandoned the "international law" of the Zhou Li era among the countries and completely became a dark forest.

Now this situation of deceit is much earlier, five years ago, Wei Guo made peace with the Mo family alone, which is already considered a crime, but it is not too serious.

But this time...... Uncle Gong knew that the word trust between princes was unlikely to exist anymore.

Now, Uncle Gong understands, Han Xiang understands, Wei Zhen understands, Han You understands, and even the King of Chu understands that Sishang will be the great enemy of the princes of the world in the future.

But who's going to do this? Who will guarantee that when he fights with all his strength to defend the long-term interests of all the princes, those who are defended will not stab themselves in the back?

Even if the State of Chu says, you Wei State fights, and your Wei State has exhausted the last elite field army, I will not take the opportunity to seize a city in the Wei State...... Does the king of Chu himself believe it?

The time is also the momentum.

If Wei still had the advantage of the time of Wenhou, this Song incident would be easy to solve: clearly guarantee the independence of Zheng Guo, oppose the annexation of Zheng by Korea, shoulder the righteousness of Zhou Litianxia, and take the lead in attacking Sishang.

can now be the national strength and prestige of Wei, this head can't be pulled, and he doesn't dare to lead, so he can only choose the immediate interests and carve up Zheng State.

As for the future...... There is some meaning that living a day counts as a day.

When the two sides talked about it, Song Guo and Sishang both looked sad and worried.

But they were worried, but they didn't talk about any effective solutions.

Wei Han tacitly acquiesced that he would not choose to send troops, at least not for now, especially the oppression of the siege ability displayed by Sishang after the siege of Dangshan.

After all, the matter of carving up Zheng Guo needs to be used as a cover for interfering in the Song Dynasty's alliance, so Han Xiang said: "As soon as this matter is done, I am only afraid that the Chu people will be angry." ”

"Although the Chu people and the Mo family are not close, they have never been hostile, except for the battle of Shangqiu more than 20 years ago, there is no grudge recently."

"I'm just afraid that the Chu people will be angry and unite with the Mo family to interfere in this matter."

Han Xiang's concern is not unreasonable.

The state of Chu sent Ling Yin and Da Sima to come to the alliance to talk about the common defense against the rise of Sishang, and while talking about it, Wei Han did it and divided the Zheng state, and after that, he didn't bring the Chu state who came to the alliance, if the Chu state was not angry, it would be a ghost.

Moreover, Zheng Guo is divided to the north, and the back road of Chu in the salient in the direction of the Central Plains has been completely cut off, and there was originally a buffer country, and now Wei Han can directly threaten the south of Yuguan, if the gap is broken again, Yuguan, which Chu is easy to come back to, is considered a dead city, and Daliang City will never think about taking it back.

Uncle Gong smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. Between us and the Chu people, it is nothing more than the resentment of the prince and the prince, and the country is in contention. ”

"Heshang, that is the hatred of turning the world upside down, the fear of turning the world upside down. Sishang rises, even if we fight to the death with the Chu State, the Chu State will also participate in the war against the Sishang. ”

"So, to deal with Sishang, we don't need to consider whether the Chu people trust us or not."

"The people of Chu trust the Mo family, but what the Mo family does, the king of Chu is absolutely unacceptable. Everyone is equal, the virtuous are synonymous, and the people are loved and benefited, and the sages are selected as the sons of heaven of the princes...... This is the temple of the dead society and the temple, and we are fighting with the Chu people, and it is just a few cities. ”

"Since the Chu people will definitely turn back to ink, why should we be good to the Chu people?"

Han Xiang praised: "Solve the confusion in my heart." It's just that the Chu people will be angry about this matter, how can they prevent this? ”

Uncle Gong said again: "What can the Chu people be angry? Chu changed the law, the country is in turmoil, if there is no foreign aid allies, how can it interfere with Zheng State? ”

"The only possible foreign aid ally is Sishang. But we will first make an alliance with the Chu people, and we must first denounce the actions of the Mo family. ”

"This is equivalent to making it impossible for the Chu State and the Mo family to form an alliance first, and then we pit the Chu State again, what can he do? Could it be that he just scolded the Mo family today and opposed the morality of the Mo family, and turned around tomorrow to seek an alliance? Will the Mo family trust the state of Chu? Does Chu Guo himself think that the Mo family will agree? ”

…………

The envoy of the king of Chu was already not far from Wei, and on the way there, the great Sima of Chu received the news of the end of the siege of Dangshan.

The current political structure of the Chu State is closely related to the various aspects of the previous twenty years.

More than 20 years ago, the Mo family shook the world for the first time, when they beheaded Chu Da Sima under Shangqiu City.

In the ensuing battle of Daliang City, Wu raised a battle to behead Chu Youyin and several powerful feudal monarchs.

This can be regarded as providing an opportunity for the change of the law of the Chu State.

The three clans of Qu, Zhao and Jing firmly held the position of Ling Yin, and in the eight hundred years of the Chu State, there were very few people with foreign surnames who had won the position of Ling Yin, and Ling Yin could not be replaced.

However, Da Sima, Youyin and others, who were originally also sent by the nobles of the feudal monarchy, died and vacated their places, and the king of Chu could finally arrange some people sent by the scholars to enter.

There are unspoken rules in the court of the normal Chu State, so if Yin dies of illness or makes a mistake for some reason, Da Sima is the first replacement in line.

Now the court of the Chu State is actually the big clan headed by Ling Yin to oppose the reform; The scholar class, led by Da Sima Youyin, supported the reform.

The two sides have different interests and different foreign policies.

The king of Chu hoped that the state of Chu would not be involved in the affairs of the Song state and continue to change; The nobles of the great clan wanted Chu to wage war against the Song in order to increase the power of the feudal nobles.

This time when he came to the alliance, the meaning of the king of Chu was very clear, since the Mo family chose to send troops to the Song State, completely rejected the idea of peacefully dividing the Song State, and implemented mobilization, there is a real intention to do it.

Then the state of Chu would not choose to start a war with the Mo family, cede the interests of the Song state, and make the relationship between the Mo family and Wei Han even more tense.

If Chu does not send troops, Wei Han will not send troops, this is an obvious thing.

In fact, this time the King of Chu has a sincere attitude, Daliang City can no longer be recaptured, and even if it is recaptured, it will be equivalent to fighting for Wei on the front line of anti-Moxi, and it is already very difficult for Chu to return to Yuguan, so instead of talking nonsense on the matter of Daliang, it is better to take advantage of this alliance to completely abandon Daliang's claim.

In Daliang, Kaifeng, Yuguan, Yangxia, Xiangling and other places, the three kingdoms of Wei, Chu and Han built cities, strengthened their defenses, and united with the outside world, so as not to conflict with each other in this place.

If you want to repair the city, you can't have another conflict, you can't say that I am repairing the city to guard against the Mo family, you beat me while I am repairing the city, so that I can't repair it.

Second, once the city defense is perfected, Wei, Chu and Han will hinder these cities, and there will be fewer battles in the direction of the Central Plains, and it will not be easy to attack the city, especially the new fortified city, so that it can really be prepared to prevent the Mo family from advancing westward into the Central Plains.

The third is to sign an anti-Mexican alliance as much as possible, and internal fighting is okay, but if the Mo family attacks any of these cities in the direction of the Central Plains, it is best to be able to fight together.

In fact, the state of Chu has also given up the Central Plains strategy, and has turned to a temporary strategic contraction, waiting for the future change of law and then talking about counterattack.

Da Sima belonged to the faction of the King of Chu, so he naturally adhered to the will of the King of Chu, and he did not know that Wei and Han conspired to carve up Zheng State.
