In fact, there were three problems with the southern route of Wei.

But because the current Wei State could not support a four-front war, a trade-off had to be made.

The Zheng people in sour dates and other places want to return to Zheng, which is not a problem, and Wei Zhen, the opinion of Uncle Acne, thinks it is true, and only needs to release the rumor that he wants to change land, and use the feud between Zheng and Han to make Zheng people feel: It is better to belong to Wei than to belong to Han.

This question is not counted, then the remaining three questions are worth playing.

On the Central Plains, this is the strategic focus of Wei after giving up Wu Qi's use of Mojia Fei to attack and destroy Qin first and then take the Central Plains.

The Chen Cai issue involves Wei's Central Plains strategy centered on Daliang, Chu is Wei's number one enemy, and the king of Chu attacks Wang Ziding, which Wei will inevitably interfere in.

This matter is a top priority.

It has always been a joint effort of Wei and Han, but the eating appearance of Wei was a bit domineering before, and South Korea is now unable to work.

And now I want to use this incident to remind Wei Guo: It's okay to let me contribute, you have to let me eat Zheng Guo. I can't say that I will be a pawn for you in front of you and work hard for you, in the end, I will swallow Zheng Guo, and you will still be crooked, all kinds of mediation.

Now that Korea has moved its capital to a river away from the remaining one-third of Zheng's land, Wei and Han must pay the price and acquiesce to Zheng's encroachment.

Korea can destroy Zheng by itself, without the help of Wei, but it needs to get Wei's consent, because Wei has always wanted Korea to annex the remaining one-third of Zheng, and wants to keep it for himself in the future.

But now, the South Koreans chose a good time, Wei and Han joined forces to interfere with Chen Cai, start a war with Chu again, and propose the rebellion of the army, and the meaning behind it is very clear.

Wei not only interfered with Zhao, but also had to fight against Chu, and it was a little difficult for South Korea not to contribute: in recent years, Chu has been changing, and the Mo family has a lot of activities in Chu, plus the king of Chu hired the Mo family to help build the capital city of Ying, and helped train the new army, and the combat effectiveness of Chu is no longer the same as it was back then.

Now there is news from Wang Ziding's side, saying that the king of Chu is attacking the city very quickly, the means are skillful, and he is good at using digging tunnels and shelling, and it is obvious that people from the Mo family are involved in it.

But the Mo people in Wei Du vetoed it, only saying that the Mo family did not send troops, and at that time, the Mo family would not interfere in the internal affairs of Chu, and the Mo family only helped the Chu State train the new army in order to use it to defend Chu, and this time the Mo people did not serve as generals.

As for the gunners and sappers digging tunnels in the army of the king of Chu, it is likely that some people who served in the righteous division were hired by the king of Chu after retiring.

Or, some people think that this matter is beneficial to the world and is spontaneous and voluntary, which is also uncertain.

It's too far away, and there's no evidence.

However, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not, whether the Mo family participates or not, what the Mo family's envoy here says, it conveys an attitude: The Mo family will not participate in the Wei Chu hegemony this time, just like last time.

Attitude is very important, even if the troops are really dispatched, saying that there are no troops is sent means that there is still room for manipulation in this matter.

Wei Zhen asked his uncle for this: "What about Chen Cai, the prince decided that there are ink people involved, what does the secretary think of this matter?" ”

Uncle Gong asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" ”

Wei Zhen shook his head and said, "I don't know." In the first battle of Shangqiu that year, the Mo family array beheaded the Chu Da Sima and had enmity with the Chu clans. The prince insisted that the assassination of King Chusheng was committed by the Mo family or the Song people, and he opposed the reform of the Mo family. Chen Cai is adjacent to the Song Dynasty and close to Yu Mo, and the Mo family definitely doesn't like Xiong Ding. ”

"But they said they weren't involved, or that some people volunteered. Is this the Mo family not wanting to be our enemy? ”

Uncle sneered: "That's exactly what it means." If not, use Chu and Mo to attack Chen Cai. What news do we have now? ”

Wei Zhen laughed: "If that's the case, I'm afraid Xiong will have fled to the widow." ”

Uncle Acne also smiled: "That's right. In this way, Chen Cai is stable, even if we want to send troops, we are afraid that we will not have time to react. It can be seen that the Mo family does not want to be our enemy. As for Chen Cai's artillery soldiers who attacked the city, it didn't matter whether they were voluntary or whether they were sent by the Mo family. ”

"Yes, we pretended not to know. No, we don't really know. Then, Chen Cai's matter is the matter between Wei Han and Chu. If we question, or if we know and say it, then Chen Cai is a matter between Wei Han and Mo Chu. ”

"The king is only afraid that he doesn't want me to be the armor of Wei, facing the Chu people Che Guang and the Mo family's righteous masters, right?"

Wei Zhen nodded and said, "I don't want to." Invincible. So, what do you say about the matter of Fei Guo? They took refuge in the widows, and the widows wanted to get the throne, and this was an opportunity. But Fei Country is close to the Mo family, I am only afraid that this matter will harm the Mo family, and when the time comes, they will join forces with the Chu people......"

"If you give up the matter of Fei Guo, it is like having fat meat in your mouth, but you have to throw it away and not eat it, and the widow is unwilling."

The fattest meat in the world is in Sishang, and the pottery mound north of Sishang is the first in the world. Uncle Acne naturally hopes that he can take Taoqiu as a fief over the years, and it is said that the industrial and commercial tax collected by Taoqiu every year can make Taoqiu and 30,000 other fiefdoms.

Sishang, Central Plains, and Huaibei, this is what Wei must take to dominate the world. The premise is to complete the strategy of Zhao and Zhongshan, occupy the main beam, and continue to expand.

Wei Zheng said that this was a piece of fat in his mouth, why didn't Uncle Acne think so in his heart?

But Uncle Acne didn't talk about his thoughts directly, but said: "A few days ago, the minister was bored, read a book in the middle of the night, and looked at the Mengtong textbook of Mojiasi Township School, there is a very interesting story, please tell it for the king." ”

Wei Zhen laughed and said, "Qing also reads the book of the Mo family? ”

Uncle acne said: ""Poem" said: The crane sings in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky. Fish lie in Nagisa, or potential abyss. The garden of Lebi has sandalwood trees, and there is a dimension under it. The stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade. ”

Wei Zhen nodded, and asked his uncle to speak.

Uncle sneered: "The textbooks of the Mo family mostly use rural vernacular, not Yayin, and they are all colloquial, all of which are things that children learn. Please paraphrase it as a text. ”

"Said: The mussel side is exposed, and the sandpiper pecks its flesh, and the mussel closes and clamps its beak. The sandpiper said: 'If it doesn't rain today, if it doesn't rain tomorrow, there will be dead mussels'. The mussel is also called the sandpiper and says: 'If you don't come out today, you won't come out tomorrow, that is, there will be a dead sandpiper'. The two refused to give up each other, and the fisherman got and caught it. ”

In the Mohist textbooks, it is called the snipe and the clam competing and the fisherman profiting. It is also said that the praying mantis catches cicadas and the yellow finch follows. It's all the same story. ”

"Now that the Fei State is also involved in the affairs of the Fei State, the Mo family may not be able to tolerate the occupation of the Qi State, so this is an opportunity."

"If the king wants to get Sishang, don't the Qi people want to get it?"

Wei Zhen sighed and said: "I still invite the Son of Heaven to this Tian and the marquis, but he is not necessarily willing to obey me." ”

Uncle Gong sneered: "That's bound to not be obeyed." In the past, Jin Wen fled, married Qin Ji, and relied on the power of Mu Gong to ascend to the throne. Could it be that there is no fighting between Qin and Jin? The kingdom of Qi wants to get Sishang, just as the hungry people want food. ”

"Now that the Qi State wants to send troops, it is the snipe and the clam that are fighting, and the king can sit on the advantage of the fisherman."

"If you want to profit, you can't help but participate in this matter, otherwise you will be famous. But if you want to participate, you can't make the Mo family and Chu join forces and spoil Chen Cai's affairs. When participating, it is necessary to find a way to make the Qi State do its best to weaken the Qi State and prepare for the future of the Emperor to gain Sishang according to Chengyang and Xiaqiu. ”

"If Qi and the Mo family are fighting and exhausted, the king has Chengyang and Liqiu in hand, Chen Cai's matter is calmed, the rebellion of Zhao is calmed, and Sishang will not fly away, isn't it the king's income after all? There will be no reason, so what? I am self-reliant, and I want to take it, who dares to disobey? ”

Wei Zhen was overjoyed and said: "I heard the words of the snipe and the clam fighting, and I also have this meaning. Qing knows my heart very well. It's just that although I am afraid of sandpipers, I don't do my best...... How to get Qi to do its best? ”

Uncle Gong said: "Sishang, all the people want it, and the king also wants it." Qi people know what the king wants, and the king also knows what Qi people want. However, because the Qi people were afraid of the Mo family's military strength before the war that year, they had to find a way to make the Qi people dare to send troops. We must find a way to make the Qi people dare to send troops, and then start a full-scale war with the Mo family, and do our best. ”

"The Mo family acts and is difficult to figure out, but the Qi country acts but it is also tempting."

"How to make the Qi people not afraid of the Mo family's military strength? This requires the king to repair the book Tian He, saying that the affairs of the Fei country must be managed, and signaling Wei Han and Qi to work together to divide the land with the fee. The book of the king must have given Tian He some confidence and did not hesitate to start a war with the Mo family. ”

Wei Zhen sighed and said, "It's just that I have to worry about Zhao, the Zhongshan Rebellion, and the Chen Cai Alliance...... I'm afraid I won't be able to send too many troops. Moreover, if too many troops are sent, how can they let the Qi State consume its national strength? ”

Uncle Gong sneered and said: "The king repairs the book to Tian He, that is to make Tian He dare to go to war." However, the king then revised the book, saying that it would take time to mobilize the grain and straw of the soldiers, and said that the Xihe warriors moved to Hedong for less than half a year. Please wait for half a year, and then join forces to attack together, and then one and a half will be in person. ”

Speaking of which, Wei Zhen had come to his senses. This Xihe warrior is to be used in Zhao Di, it is impossible to use it in the direction of Fei Guo, at least not at this time, so to say this is actually to defraud Tian He.

Sure enough, Uncle Gong said: "The strength of the Xihe warriors is known to the world, and if the king says so, Tian He must have put his energy on Sishang." Once the military soldiers arrived, one person and half of them, Qi Guo was only afraid of unwillingness. ”

"When the monarch said this, the Marquis of Qi was even more convinced that the monarch would definitely send troops, so Tian He would think that once the battle with the Mo family was unfavorable, our Wei State would also help, so this further boosted his determination to send troops."

"However, the Marquis of Qi will think that when it is ready in half a year, it will be difficult for the Qi State to gain an advantage in the Fei State, and they will inevitably use various reasons to say that this matter is urgent, and then quickly gather troops to go out to fight in order to get ahead of us."

"In order to make the Marquis of Qi more convinced that we are going to seize Sishang, and also make him more convinced that we can be his ally in attacking the Mo family in Sishang, we can send 10,000 people nearby. First of all, he kept repairing the book and asked Tian He to wait for a while, once Tian He sent troops, these 10,000 people also immediately went to fight, as if he couldn't wait and didn't want to let Qi take the lead, he would rather send 10,000 people to compete before the soldiers arrived. ”

"In this way, Tian He is convinced that we have a high heart, and he allies with Tian He, let Tian He let go of it, and at the same time, let Tian He send troops more urgently, more, and strive to get ahead of us. And we are waiting to see the changes, if the decisive battle between the Mo family and the Qi country is very expensive, think that at that time, Zhao and Zhongshan are both equal, Chen Cai is decided, the Mo family and the Qi country have a grudge, and the Qi country declines, then Tian He can only look north and look at Wei? ”

"The hardest thing to do in an alliance is to guard against allies than against enemies, and that's the truth of a world of great contention. Wei defends the Qi State, how can the Qi State not defend the Wei State? However, with the prosperity of Wenhou, Qi didn't know the details of Wei, and still thought that Wei could fight on all sides without being defeated, which is exactly what we can use. “

"The more you say that you want to send troops together, and delay it for half a year, the more anxious the Qi State will be. The more you say that you want to mobilize the soldiers to act together, the more Qi will think about acting alone. But if you directly say that you don't intervene, Qi Guo is afraid that we will see him compete with the Mo family for profit, and he may not move. ”
