The matter of the envoy sent by the Marquis of Qi, the Qin State also had different opinions.

Thirty years ago, the Qin State was located in the west, since the dedication of the Duke to the west to the west and then to the loss of the West River, in fact, the Qin State has always been behind closed doors to play by itself, rarely have too much contact with the Central Plains princes, the Central Plains princes will not be called by the alliance or anything.

In recent years, the order to seek talents has been widely opened, and the rise of the Sishang Mo family has been pitting the Wei State, which has made the Qin State, which has been separated from the Wei State in the west of the Wei State, return to the field of vision of the Central Plains princes.

In fact, Qi has not been in contact with Qin for a long time, and this time the Marquis of Qi sent an envoy to negotiate with Qin, which was inevitably a little anxious, exposing some of Qi Guo's thoughts.

The princes worked together to oppose the Mo, and the Qin State could not come forward, because even if the dispute between Qin and the Three Jin Dynasty was not subjectively helping the Mo family, it was essentially helping.

However, this Three Jin Alliance is not necessarily very stable, if the interests are enough, even South Korea, which has the best relationship with Wei, will join the feast of carving up Wei conceived by Qi.

The ministers of the Qin State were also divided into two factions.

One faction believes that as long as Zhao and Qi come forward, it will not be a problem to completely abolish the Wei state. Taking advantage of the fact that the Mo family is now fighting with Chu and Yue and has not yet been pacified, getting the West River and getting involved in Shangjun can realize the dream of the Qin State to completely go out of the Western Regions.

The other faction believes that the power of the Mo family is increasing day by day, and once the annexation of Chu and the destruction of Yue, the layout of the Mo family in the south will be connected. Nanhai, Nanzheng, Fujian, Wuyue, Xuzhou, Jingzhou...... Moreover, the morality of the Mo family is anti-prince, anti-aristocratic and anti-hereditary, this is a battle of morality and Taoism, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you don't win, you will die, so now you should make friends with all countries and go all out to oppose Mexico.

Qin Jun was undecided, although his heart belonged, he still wanted to hear Wu Qi's opinion.

He asked: "In the opinion of the public, if the princes work together to fight against Mexico this time, will it be difficult to settle the battle in one battle?" ”

Wu Qi shook his head, thought for a moment, and said cautiously: "Even if King Wu is resurrected, Taigong wakes the flag, and Sun Wuzi Wu Zixu commands the army, it is impossible to settle the battle in one battle. ”

"In the past, when I died in Qin, I used to go to Sishang. That is the wealth of Sishang, which is better than today's Qin; The discipline of the soldiers and the heart of the world are better than in the past. ”

"In my opinion, the biggest result that the princes can win together this time is that the Mo family withdrew from Jianghan and took Poyi as the boundary. Once the Mo family retreats to Sishang to defend it, it is possible to fight for three years without 500,000 soldiers, but if the princes and countries recruit 500,000, I am afraid that the country will starve to death after three years. ”

"Moreover, the country of Yue is doomed. This was the greatest victory that the coalition of princes could achieve this time. ”

This answer can be said to be quite pessimistic, Qin Jun thought that the big victory was not only to drive the Mo family back to Jianghan, but also to make Sishang suffer a heavy blow, although it is not to say that it is completely exterminated into scorched earth, but at least it can also make Sishang surrounded on all sides and lose all the ability to attack externally.

However, Wu Qi's answer was diametrically opposed, he judged that if the alliance of princes could restore Jiang and Han Chu this time, it would be the biggest victory, and this would have to catch a Yue country.

Qin Jun understood that there was a gap between Qin and Si, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big.

"So the Qi people's strategy to carve up the Wei State this time, what is the benefit of Qin?"

Wu Qi shook his head again and said, "Yu Qin is not profitable. ”

"It seems that Qin can win Xiheshang County, but the strength of the Mo family is increasing, even if Wei is destroyed, Zhao Qihan will carve up Wei and become stronger."

At that time, the Mojia soldiers will be able to attack the West River in the north and reach Lantian in the west. Zhao Qihan had their own thoughts, but gave the Mo family a chance to break through the vertical and horizontal diplomacy. ”

"Originally, Qin was in the west, and there was no war, no attack and no peace with the Mo family, the more chaotic the Central Plains, the stronger the Qin people became. If the Wei State is divided, whenever there is any trouble, Qin will send troops to confront the Mo family. ”

Qin Jun was about to refute, but Wu Qi asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask your lord, if the Mo family passes through Lu and Luo, will Qin send troops to aid Han and Zhou at that time?" ”

As soon as he asked, Qin Jun understood. If the Mo family took the opportunity to carve up the Wei State, then once the Mo family went north to attack Korea, the Qin State would have to send troops.

At that time, there can only be one foreign policy of the Qin State, that is, the lips and teeth are cold, not long-distance and close-range.

Wu Qi asked again: "Although the West River is dangerous and big, I don't know how to deal with Jianghan Nanyang?" Mojia Xuzhou, is already invincible in the world, if you get Jing and Yang Erzhou, how can the Xihe River be compared with Jing and Yang? Now that they are defeated, in the future, the Mo family will increase by ten, and the Qin people will increase by one, so how can they fight in the future? ”

Wu Qi asked again: "The south of Nanzheng is Bashu." If the Mo family wins Jingzhou, destroys Wu Yue, and has the army of Nanzheng, the south and west will advance, and Bashu will not be able to be defeated. ”

"A few years later, the princes of the world are not facing the current Sishang Mo family. Rather, it is the Mohist family bounded by Nanzheng, Hanshui, Dabie, Huaishui to Yanzhou Wenshui and the East China Sea. The land of Kyushu, which has ninety-four; The wealth of Kyushu is afraid of three or two, how can we fight in the future? ”

"The Marquis of Qi is ignorant and only knows small profits, just the current situation of the Qi country...... What can you do if you have Wei Di? A few years later, if the Mo family goes all out to attack with the momentum of destroying Chu, it can be determined in two months, and even if we have the heart to rescue, not to mention the logistics and message transmission, we will know that on the same day, we may arrive in Linzi within two months? ”

Qin Jun nodded slowly, understanding what Wu Qi meant, once this situation is formed, this will not be a situation of attacking from the east and saving from the west, but it is likely that the Mo family will attack from all sides, and the princes will take care of themselves, and they will finally be broken by each one.

Seeing that Wu Qi was bent on uniting the princes to suppress the Mo family, Qin Jun asked again: "Then look at it this way, what will happen in this battle?" ”

Wu Qi asked rhetorically: "Does the monarch want to stand in the world of etiquette and morality to see the ending?" Do you still have to look at the ending from the perspective of Qin Yiguo? ”

Qin Jun said with a smile: "I am Qin Jun, and I am a country of Qin." I am not running for the sake of courtesy, I am fighting for the interests of the country. ”

Wu Qi said: "That's exactly how it should be. So if you look at it from the perspective of Qin Yiguo, there are three situations in this battle. ”

"In the last game, the princes won a big victory in the west, and the Qi people in the east were able to hold their territory, and when the Mo family withdrew from Jianghan, our army immediately withdrew and did not besiege Sishang with the princes."

"Send a large army to gather the strength of the whole country from the three directions of Shangyong, Baogu and Wudu, to break through Nanzheng and destroy Shu."

"Occupy Shangyu, ask for bribes from Danyang, go east to seize Hangu and Kunsai, develop production, change the law, and wait and see the changes in the world."

Qin Jun thought about it carefully, nodded and praised: "The last game is good." So what's the middle game? ”

"Mid-game...... The middle game is divided from Qi Wei's discussion. Take the opportunity to get Wei Zhixi Heshang County to wait for the future. If the Mohists are divided, civil strife, and decayed, they may be victorious in the future. ”

Qin Jun was shocked, the situation in the last game was so good, he didn't want the middle game to be a situation where it was possible to persist only by relying on the Mo family's own mistakes.

He calmed down for a moment and asked in a low voice, "What about the next game?" ”

"If you end the game, you can prepare for the future within two years."

"Qin reconciled with Han, Zhao and Wei, and jointly sent troops to rescue Chu, fighting against the Mo family and Han Shui, fighting without victory, and confronting each other for a long time. The main force of the Mojia on the eastern front defeated the combined forces of Qi, Wei, Han and Zhao, drank the Yellow River, and approached Luoyi, and the general trend of the world was unstoppable. ”

"The so-called aftermath is to talk to the Mo family and admit that the Mo family inherited the ambition of Dayu to stabilize Kyushu and let Yongzhou be. In the past, the Qin people could migrate from Langya to Yongzhou, and there is a story that they are princes today, and they can also move west from Yongzhou to the rich land to be kings today. ”

If it weren't for the extreme, no one would choose to migrate thousands of miles, and the people of Qin would not take the initiative to choose to leave their hometown.

However, the attitude of the Mo family towards the nobles was vividly displayed in this battle to destroy Chu, and there was no possibility of compromise, so the nobles of the Qin State must leave a way back.

This back road may be dangerous and difficult, but compared to the fact that everything accumulated over hundreds of years has come to naught, and compared to the desperate road where the bloodline is equal to the common people, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Wu Qi has already talked about this problem, and also said that the situation of the Qin State is actually ugly, if there is no Mo family to stir up the situation, the Qin State will make great efforts to seize the West River first and then lower the chin Shu, and there is no one in the world to fight.

After the rise of Sishang, it was already laid out in advance, so that the Qin State had only one way out of the West River, but going out of the West River meant that the power of the Mo family was also growing, and the forces of the princes and nobles who resisted the Mo family were fighting inwardly, so it was extremely difficult.

Many people went to trade in the Far West over the years, and they also knew that after crossing the desolation, there was good land suitable for cultivating crops such as potatoes, corn, cotton, and wheat, and that the Far Eastern princes of Persia named Bhaktra were weak.

If we use the colonial methods of the past, which are different from the country and the wilderness, after several generations, we will definitely be able to gain a foothold, and it is not impossible that gunpowder and iron armor and other technologies can be crushed.

But Qin Jun heard that Wu Qi's upper, middle and lower three situations actually corresponded to two choices.

Either send troops against Mexico, or carve up the Wei state. The partition of Wei will be unfavorable in the long run, but it seems that this is the least dangerous path.

And sending troops against Mexico, once the Mo family cannot be driven out of Jianghan, then it will face the worst situation.

But this situation is unsolvable.

If the main field army of Wei was still there, then the chances of driving the Mo family out of Jianghan were actually very high.

However, the main army of Wei has just been wiped out by Qin, but if Xihe is not destroyed, the Mo family will not take the opportunity to destroy Chu, Qin Mo is considered an ally to some extent before the destruction of Chu, and immediately after the destruction of Chu, he will become an enemy, and the original enemy has become an ally, and now how much strength does the "ally" of Wei still have?

When the time comes, the main force to expel the Mo family from Jianghan will have to be Qin, Han, Wei, and Zhao. And how could the Qi State in the east attack Sishang with its own strength? It is necessary for Zhao Guo to fully support, but how much can Zhao Guo support? South Korea lacks skills, how many advantages does the battle of Jianghan have after the division of troops?

According to Wu Qi's estimate, the Mo family has at least 70,000 troops in Jianghan to fight in the field, and there are more than 10,000 naval troops, how likely is it that the field will be completely wiped out?

Moreover, the Mo family in the Jianghan area poured in so many ink people at once, and brought so many iron tools and farm seeds, at most two years, I am afraid that it can pull out tens of thousands of troops, and all countries will not be able to fight for a long time, that is to say, there is only a chance to fight quickly.

Either win the long-term confrontation of Bashu and Linnanyang and the dangerous West River, or prepare to move westward within five years. It's hard to choose.
