For example, today, the only one who is qualified to be a hegemon is Wei Chu.

The Chu people constantly wanted to open up the situation in the Central Plains, and even if they couldn't go all out to attack the Intermediate Court, it had always been the established policy to keep the Song, Zheng and other countries pro-Chu.

Weiss didn't know that Wu Qi and the others' opinions were correct, but they were still wavering in the face of great temptation.

All countries except Chu now do not seem to be Wei's opponents, and the only obstacle to Wei's hegemony is Chu.

The remnants of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the joy of the newly feuded marquis, all made Weiss's thinking inclined to hegemony.

The state of Qi has been defeated, the three Jin are harmonious, the state of Yan is weak, the Qin has lost the West River, and the only thing that the state of Wei has not officially defeated so far is the Chu people.

The Mo family such as Yu Huali came here, with the Mo family's performance in Shangqiu as a support, and the opinions of Wu Qi and other courtiers as the pillars, Wei Si's opinion was originally inclined to kill soldiers.

Whether or not to kill the army determines the direction of expansion of the Wei State.

Is it to digest the Zhongshan State and continue to oppress the Qin State?

Or do you want to start attacking the Central Plains and point your fingers?

Wei Si was a good and virtuous person, Tian Zifang, Duan Ganmu and others were friends with the poultry slippery, and the Mo family sent the fry slippery to come, and Wei Si knew that this person was talented at first sight.

After talking for a few days, Weiss felt that what he said made sense.

The Mo family is utilitarian and never taboo, so there is a lot to say about the benefits of Wei if he participates in the army.

It's just that, in the eyes of the monarch, in the end, it still depends on interests.

The prince decided to go to Zheng, which was really a rare opportunity for the Wei State, because the Qin State at this time was a weak chicken in the eyes of the Wei State.

Chu is the only obstacle to Wei's hegemony, from the end of the Spring and Autumn Period to the beginning of the Warring States Period, the main theme of the world's disputes has always been the Jin and Chu hegemony.

The countries are still at the beginning of the change, and there are still many people in the countries who maintain the thinking of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Chu people are now already in the midst of the defeat of the golden jade, but because of the previous strength, no country has thought that the Chu State has been eroded to the point of losing the ability to compete for hegemony.

Wang Ziding gave enough favorable conditions, and there were many nobles in the Chu State who supported Wang Ziding.

This internal instability will continue to intensify as the external situation changes.

Wei Si knew that the state of Chu was still stable, and there was no such thing as the grandson of Qi standing on his own feet in Xiaqiu.

It's just because the power of the King of Chu seems to be enough to suppress those nobles, if once the three Jin join forces, even if they defeat the Chu people in a decisive battle, the nobles in the Chu State who are ready to move will immediately refuse to recognize the status of the King of Chu at this time.

If the state of Chu can be weakened, it will completely remove the obstacle to the hegemony of the Wei state, because the rest of the countries have not stopped the power of the Wei people to dominate, at least for now.

Weiss was not unmoved by the Mo family's proposals, especially after proposing to strengthen the centralization of power, Shang Xian, and the cultivation of iron tools.

Originally, the fowl was good at arguing, and the Mohist dialectics were at their peak at this time, and the appropriate addition added a lot of novel and effective knowledge, and it was easy to move the king.

Mozi's original economical development and population multiplication theory are attractive enough.

But that's roughly.

The various technological changes brought about by the adaptation are the "tactics" under this general plan, which are extremely closely coordinated.

Twenty years of peace have been exchanged for the multiplication of civil use and the abundance of national use. Originally, it was just a rough plan, but when the various technological changes brought about by the adaptation became popular, this kind of rough plan was a perfect plan.

Xihe Shou Wu Qi's plan for the strategy of Wei in the next 20 years is also in line with the various changes proposed by the Mohists.

Shang Xian was in charge, and the land reform broke the backbone of the nobles of Zhongshan Kingdom, so that Zhongshan Kingdom became Wei soil from now on.

The Xihe Revolution, the official recognition of private ownership of land, and even the provision of iron tools to speed up reclamation, so that the Qin people will forget the identity of the Qin people within a few years.

Accumulate strength and let the state of Chu continue to put endless pressure on Korea, forcing Korea to be pro-Wei, so as to maintain the deterrence of the Zhao people.

Maintain the independence of Zheng Guo, in order to instigate the conflict between Zheng and Han, ensure that Zheng Han is always in a hostile state, and at the same time keep Zheng people from being destroyed by Han: even if the Mo family does not advocate the destruction of the army, Wei will try to be a mediator to maintain Zheng Guo's independence, so as to prevent Korea from becoming bigger and taking the lead in expanding in the Central Plains.

In Wu Qi's last letter, this is the general idea of the Wei state.

And the basis of everything is the doubling of the number of soldiers brought about by the Harvest Revolution and the popularization of iron tools.

Wu Qi informed Wei Hou in his letter that the Mo family broke through the battle with hundreds of elites under Shangqiu City, even if the warriors could not have the elite strength of the Mo family, but it was okay to have the good fighting of the Peixian righteous teacher.

The military reform system in the world, the peasant chariot is outdated, the era of the infantry has come, and the military soldiers can adapt to the technological changes of the Mo family.

As long as the Wei State can continue to recuperate, the reform will be successful within 20 years, and the alliance will end after 20 years, and no one in the world will be able to stop it.

All of this, Weiss felt made sense.

However...... It will take twenty years.

He is already seventy, and he is not Lao Peng, and he will not be able to live for another twenty years, this Wei Si knows.

Several generations of ancestors, the road is blue, and so far it has finally been crowned.

And he hopes to be able to do Qi Huan and Jin Wen once before his death!

Moreover, if the Chu people are defeated, there will be no one in the world who can stop the Wei State, and when the time comes, there will be time to change, and what he will leave to his son is a better surrounding environment.

The messenger sent by Wang Ziding has already informed Weiss of Wang Ziding's hole cards.

Xiong Ding assured that as long as Sanjin and Zheng joined forces and defeated the Chu people once, then many places in the Chu State would recognize him Xiong Ding as the legitimate heir.

The feudal monarchs of the homeland of Chen, Cai, Zhongmu, Kaifeng, Xia Cai, Yangxia and other places, as long as the Wei people sent troops to defeat the king of Chu at this time, they could respond to the call of the prince to inherit.

This is the prince's hole card, but it is also a crisis in the Chu State.

What Weiss needed was civil strife among the Chu people.

What is the military strength of the state of Chu? After decades of not fighting, Weiss couldn't judge accurately, but the fact that the Mo family under Shangqiu City had captured the king of Chu made Weiss feel a little contemptuous after all.

If the three Jin join forces to enter the prince's determination, the three Jin can be defeated, but the Chu people cannot be defeated, as long as they are defeated once, the Chu state will be divided into two.

Chu is weaker than the Gong family, this is the consensus of the world.

All feudal monarchs and county officials have the ability to abolish the monarch and seize power in a coup d'état.

Weiss was convinced of the prince's words.

Even if the Three Jin Dynasty failed several times, as long as there was one victory, the Chu State would be in danger.

The dreams and ambitions of being able to be Qi Huan and Jin Wen before his death impacted Weiss's judgment.

When people get old, they will have obsessions.

So Weiss refused to see Yu Slippery today, but summoned Li Kui and others to discuss the matter of entering the prince's decision.

After analyzing all the things, Li Kui, who was already old, said: "Wu Qi's book a few months ago is contrary to what the king is discussing today. ”

Gongzi listened to the rumors about Wu Qi in Anyi now, and there was a gap in whether to send troops to save Song, and snorted: "A month ago, the king of Chu was still here, but now he is not here. ”

"I've heard that picking roses in spring and picking leaves in summer, the seasons change, and what you do in spring is not right in summer. Isn't that the truth? ”

Li Kui glanced at Gongzi and didn't refute it, but said, "This is not right or wrong. ”

"The king of Chu is newly established, and the prince is determined to run, and the situation is bound to be unstable. At this time, it is bound to bribe countries heavily to provide them with backup. ”

"The Qi people are newly defeated, and the Tian clan is in internal strife, and there is no worry. The one who worries, Qin. ”

"The Qin people will come to the aid of Chu and want to seize the West River. The Chu people will also send Feng Junliang to the north to defend the Liangliang of Fangcheng. ”

"If this is the case, then Wu Qiqiang's plan to encroach on Qin and break through the customs cannot be used."

"If you enter the prince's decision, the West River can only be defended but not attacked. If you can enter in a fight, it's okay. ”

"If you can't win a battle, you will inevitably have to call Wu Qi as a general and defeat the Chu people."

Speaking of this, Li Kui knew that his words were not very good, so he had to add: "Gongzi is the son of the sect, and he can't easily take risks, it was because I said that I wanted to summon Wu Qi as a general." ”

Gongzi was originally a little dissatisfied in his heart, but for him who was proud, if Li Kui didn't add the latter sentence, he really felt insulted in his heart.

Li Kui's meaning is clear.

Weiss also understood.

If the battle can be won, it will naturally be greatly beneficial to the Wei State.

But the Great Liang Yuguan of Chu State, there is still Yangchengjun; Lushan Luguan, there is still Luyang Gong.

Both of them were good at fighting, and the Fang city was strong, and the Great Wall was winding, if they could not win quickly, the entire strategy of Wei would have to be rearranged.

As the formulator of the Wei State Reform Law, Li Kui knew very well how all the techniques of the Mo family were adapted to the new law, and also understood that if he could develop the Central Plains with peace of mind, the Wei State only needed to digest the Zhongshan Kingdom and Xihe, and there would be no one in the world to compete with Wei.

But if we can't win a quick victory and regain the appearance of a century-old struggle for hegemony between Jin and Chu, the strategic center must be shifted from Xihe and Zhongshan to the Central Plains.

Xihe, which was originally a strategic salient department, had to change from offensive to defensive, and even needed to mobilize Xihe soldiers to go south to the Central Plains.

Both strategies seem to be right, the Qin land is bitterly cold, and the Central Plains is rich. But the Qin people were brave, and they always threatened Wei to attack the back of the Central Plains.

If the Qin State did not send troops this time, it would be impossible.

Li Kui understood Wu Qi's ability in his heart, and the so-called Sima Sui Tho couldn't reach it.

If Wu Qi can be transferred to the general of the prince and the Xihe warriors can be called, this matter will be done. But if Wu Qi is transferred, it is unknown whether Xihe can hold the counterattack of the Qin people taking advantage of this opportunity.

Xihe can't be lost, everyone present knows this.

If Wu Qi is not transferred, then if he goes south to enter the prince's decision, he can only send someone else, which increases the variable: the other person is not Wu Qi.

After Li Kui finished speaking, he said after a long time: "If you want to enter the prince's decision, I thought that I could send my son to defend the West River, and summon Wu Qi to the prince's determination." ”

"If he is handsome, he can't break the Chu people. Once the Chu people were defeated, many cities and towns died, and the prince responded. ”

"In this way, these things can be resolved as soon as possible."

"If the Chu people can be reduced within two years, then Wu Qi's strategy can still be used, and we can still fight against the Mo family."

"After all, if it is not an unjust war, the Mo family will not interfere, let alone help the Chu people defend the city."

"Within two years, as long as Lu Pass and Fangcheng are broken, the prince will definitely be able to enter Ying, and then the Chu State will not be able to go north for thirty years, just like the rebellion after the death of the king of the Communist Party!"

"It's the best of both worlds!"

After Li Kui's plan was finished, everyone present nodded.

Duan Ganmu, Tian Zifang and others are also smart and scheming, and they are good friends with poultry slippery and know many truths and principles of the Mo family.

If the prince is determined to start a war with Chu, the Mo family really can't help the Chu people defend the city: if they help the Chu people defend the city, it will be a complete break with the rules of the world.

After all, the battle for inheritance rights is not unjust.

As long as this problem can be solved within two years, the weapon strategy can still be implemented, anyway, the Mojia said that the alliance of soldiers will be agreed after two years.

The Chu people were defeated and retreated, and the Wei people had no more enemies, recuperating from domestic changes, and slowly trying to pass the pass.

In this way, Weiss could be the hegemon during his lifetime.

After his death, Wei still had enough advantages to maintain its hegemony, and even after annexing Guanzhong and making Qin a puppet, it could also set the world into one.

It's just that these words have already made Gongzi dissatisfied.

Gongzi felt that everything Li Kui agreed on was actually related to the villain who killed his wife and begged for a general.

Speaking of which, when he attacked Zhongshan, Xihe, and even fought with Qi in Xiaqiu, he was the commander of Wei Attack.

However, all the ministers thought that Wu Qi's talent was much higher than their own.

However, Wu Qi is a wanderer, not a nobleman, not to mention that his bloodline is not noble enough, and he does not have enough fiefs, and those rumors circulating in Anyi are not unreasonable.

If it is a prince, it is natural to do its best for the country.

But if you are a traveler, you can do your best if you can use it today, and you can leave tomorrow if you don't need it, and you can go anywhere in the world.

Gongzi thought of the words about pride that Tian Zifang said when he educated himself, and said in his heart: "That's the case, scholars have nothing and can leave at any time, so they can be proud because they have nothing to lose." ”

Thinking of this, he got up and said, "Father, you once said to me that if the skin does not have hair, it will be attached? ”

This idiom is what Weiss said.

As he walked along the West River, he saw a man putting his fur behind him, and he asked why. The man replied that he was afraid of losing his hair, so he grinded his skin instead of grinding it, and Wei Siyu sighed.

Everyone didn't know what Gongzi meant by suddenly saying such a thing, and they all looked sideways.

Gongzi struck and said: "If Wei is skin, then the doctor of the Gong family is Mao." If the skin does not exist, the hair will not be attached. This is because Mao is desperate to protect his skin. ”

"Wu Qi can be used to defend the West River, but he can't be used to attack Chu. This person kills his wife and begs for help, and his mother dies without keeping filial piety, which is not a righteous act. ”

"If Wei is the skin and the noble doctor of the Gong family is the hair, then the traveler is just a flea. Hiding among the fur, if the fur is gone, these fleas will be able to find their fur tomorrow. ”

"Mao can fight to the death and protect the skin, but how can fleas?"

After expressing his worries, Gongzi hit again: "Wu Qi is the general, and the prince is determined, even if it is done, then Wu Qi is still Wei Zhi Wu Qi?" ”

"Ji Chongjun said that Wu Qi can enter the prime minister, and the soldiers Sun Wuzi and Sima Sui Tho can't reach it; The government decree is systematized, and the treasury is abundant and the civil service is sufficient. ”

Gongzi struck and asked everyone: "Then, he can train martial arts in Xihe, Fengfuku, can't he go to Chudi?" ”

"The country of Chu is thousands of miles, and it is far wider than the Three Jin Dynasty, if the prince invites Wu Qi to be the prime minister, what should he do?"

"Wu Qi was born in a lowly family and has no fiefdom, such a person is like a flea, and he can't help but be careful. If he is victorious and famous, what will he give him peace of mind? ”

"This time to enter the prince, it is necessary to use hair, not fleas!"
