The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Qin Court

After listening to the words of the Wei envoy, Qin Gong Ying Quliang said: "The Marquis of Wei is crowned king in Daliang, and I will definitely go to participate! I hope that your envoy can explain that my Qin is willing to have a long-lasting friendship with Wei!"

When the Wei envoy left, Ying Quliang's face changed, and he said unhappily: "It took him less than ten years to dominate the Central Plains and become king! My Qin has spent more than a hundred years since Duke Mu, and has never gone east. When will my Qin go east and fulfill my wish to dominate the Central Plains!"

Wei Yang stood up and said: "Please rest assured, your Majesty, after several years of recuperation and reform, my Qin has become strong! Now the people of the country are eager to fight privately and brave in public wars, and the whole country is full of Shang The fashion of martial arts, and the grain stored in the warehouses in the past few years is enough for our Qin State to eat for more than ten years. The appearance of the people has been greatly improved, and the country is rich and strong! "

After hearing this, Ying Quliang nodded and said, "Thanks to the Prime Minister's reform, our Qin State can recover so quickly and has gradually become stronger. Daoman, how is the training of our Qin State's new army?"

Daoman stood up and replied, "One hundred thousand new troops have been trained, and the soldiers are ready to fight with Wei State at any time! The armor of the new army is purchased from Qi State! Even if the new army encounters Wei Wuzu, they can fight with it!"

Ying Quliang was overjoyed when he heard it and said, "Good! When the time is right, go east immediately to avenge!"

"——The king is wise!

Chu Court

King Xiong Liangfu of Chu laughed awkwardly after hearing the words of the Wei envoy: "If the Marquis of Wei is crowned king, I will definitely go! I will definitely bring generous gifts to the Marquis of Wei!"

As soon as the Wei envoy left, Jingshe stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, the ambition of Wei to be crowned king is not just to dominate. I think Wei wants to replace Zhou!"

Xiong Liangfu smiled and said: "Let Wei be crowned king. I want to see how Wei will face the alliance of all countries in the world if it is crowned king alone!"

Zhao Xixu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the title of Wei is just a title. I think Wei's title this time should be to unify the Central Plains next. I am sure that Wei will destroy Wei and Song next. After the small countries in the Central Plains are annexed, it will definitely attack and destroy the twelve princes under Si. ! By then, Wei will be truly the only powerful country!"

Xiong Liangfu hurriedly asked: "Ling Yin, how should Chu interfere with Wei?"

Zhao Xixu replied: "Let it go and let those small countries automatically attach to Chu. If Chu goes, it may be counterproductive. After all, Chu got such a large territory by annexing other countries. Therefore, those small countries don't trust Chu very much, so let them come to Chu on their own!"

Xiong Liangfu nodded and said: "Just follow Ling Yin's words!"

Han Dynasty Court

Han Hou Han Ruoshan laughed after listening to the words of the Wei envoy: "If Wei Hou becomes king, I will definitely go!"

Han Ruoshan waited until the Wei envoy retreated and said to the prince Han Wu: "Wu'er, I want to ask you, when you become the king, how should my country of Korea develop? "

Han Wu thought for a while and said: "The first is to follow Wei closely and continue to maintain an alliance with Wei. The second is to reform. The third is to swallow Chen to enrich ourselves! Although Chen is a vassal state of Chu, I think the relationship between Wei and Chu will definitely split. At that time, we can take this opportunity to destroy the two countries! The fourth is to attack Song. This time, my country of Korea and Wei attacked Qi together. We got a piece of land in the original territory of Qi, which is more than 200 miles in radius. Although it is an enclave, we can still attack Song through this land! In order to manage this enclave, I think a county should be set up! The fifth is to wait until Wei and Chu go to war. My country of Korea must attack Chu together with Wei. Wei will definitely be able to attack the hinterland of Chu. My country of Korea must get Wan County of Chu. It is possible that Wei will not agree to give so much land. We will exchange Shangdang County with Wei! ”

Han Ruoshan nodded and said, "Okay! I feel relieved with your words. Let's go to participate in the ceremony of the King of Daliang in Wei State. You can follow me! By the way, let's also meet the King of Wei State!"

Han Wu bowed and said, "Yes, sir!"

Zhao State Court

After listening to the words of the Wei State envoy, Zhao Zhong, the Marquis of Zhao, said casually, "I will go."

After the Wei State envoy left, Zhao Zhong said angrily, "Who does Wei Lang think he is! He dared to claim to be the king. My Zhao State is the leader of the Three Jins! If it weren't for my Zhao State, your Wei State and Han State would have been annexed by the Zhi family long ago! ”

Zhao Zhong helplessly expressed his dissatisfaction with Wei State behind his back, but he could do nothing about it! The former big brother has now become the younger brother, and the former younger brother has become the big brother. Things have changed, and today it’s my turn!

Qi State Court

Duke Tian Wu of Qi had already lost his eyesight due to excessive indulgence. After listening to the words of the Wei State envoy, he said: "I will go!"

Prime Minister Zou Ji below looked at the face of the king, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, your health is not good, why not ask the prince to go?"

Tian Wu thought for a while and said: "Okay, let the prince go on my behalf!"

In Tian Ji's mansion

Tian Ji said to Sun Bin: "Mr. Sun Bin, Wei State has already appointed a king, what do you think? ”

Sun Bin waved his feather fan and said: "Brother Tian Ji, the first reason for Wei to become the king is to improve its status in the hearts of all countries in the world, and the second is to dominate the Central Plains and destroy the Wei and Song countries in the Central Plains! But don't worry, he can't destroy them! Because there is a Chu country in the south and a Zhao country in the north. He has already lost half of the battle by moving the capital of Wei to Daliang. "

Tian Ji was still a little confused and said, "Mr. Sun Bin, I still don't understand." Sun Bin closed his eyes to recuperate, and did not answer again, but fell asleep directly.

Zhu Guo Chaotang

The envoy of Wei State said to Zhu Hou Du Shujie: "Zhu Hou, on behalf of our king, I invite Zhu Hou to Daliang to participate in the ceremony of becoming the king."

Du Shujie was very happy when he heard that he was invited to go. Although he was not the king, he was still very happy. You know, the countries in the Central Plains can't seeAs for these barbarian countries, they usually have no place at all. This time, Wei State actually invited them to go. Du Shujie smiled and said, "Okay! I will definitely go to participate! My Ju State will definitely give gifts to the King of Wei! Please ask the envoy to rest in front of the East Hall and serve well!"

When the envoy of Wei State left, Du Shujie said to the ministers, "Everyone, what gifts should I bring to Daliang, Wei State this time?"

Xu Xing stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think it is better to give gifts according to Zhou Li. After all, although the Central Plains countries do not follow Zhou Li very much, they still give gifts according to Zhou Li. Since Wei Hou has become king, he should give gifts according to the etiquette of the emperor. He should give nine jade disks, nine pieces of silk, which are used to wrap the jade disks, and ten good horses, and then present the bronze bell made by my Ju State and five beauties of my country!"

Du Shujie nodded and said, "Okay! Let's do it! The words of the national teacher!"

Wei? stood up and said: "Your Majesty, my mission has been completed. I hope to go with you, so that I can return to Wei to report."

When Du Shujie heard that Wei? was leaving, he said bitterly: "The general wants to return to Wei, but I can't bear to leave the general!"

Wei? shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, now Zhuguo has become strong, and the army of Zhuguo also has good generals. After all, I am a Wei citizen and a general of Wei. Naturally, I have to return to Wei. Please let me go back!"

Seeing that he was so determined, Du Shujie said helplessly: "Okay, then you go to Wei with me!"

Wei? bowed and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Daliang City

The new palace was built three years ago and is finally completed now. The new Daliang Palace is much larger and more magnificent than Anyi Palace!

Wei Shen stood in front of the hall and looked around, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the Prime Minister Hui Shi beside him: "Prime Minister, this palace is well built! It suits me very well! Let's hold the first morning court here tomorrow!" - Yes!

The next morning

All the ministers came to the newly built hall. Wei Shen looked at the layout of the hall and sighed in his heart: How much money will this cost! The whole hall is carved with dragons and phoenixes. Each pillar supporting the hall is more than one meter in diameter. In particular, the throne is directly carved from a whole piece of golden nanmu, and there are jade dragons on both sides! Gorgeous and solemn. There are also nine bronze tripods in the center of the hall, symbolizing the king's status.

The king has arrived~~ All the ministers bowed and said: "Long live the king, long live the Wei Kingdom!"

Wei Lang sat on the throne happily and said to all the ministers: "Please sit down! Please sit down!"

Wei Lang smiled and said: "Everyone, which do you think is better, Daliang City or Anyi City?"

Hui Shi stood up and said: "After three years of expansion, Daliang City is no longer inferior to any city in the world. It can be compared with Linzi of Qi, Yingdu of Chu, and Luoyi of the Zhou emperor."

After hearing this, Wei Lang was very happy and said: "Everyone, this time the capital was moved to Daliang, not for you to eat, drink and have fun hereWe are not happy, but we want to dominate the Central Plains here, and to dominate the Central Plains, we must destroy Wei and Song! Therefore, the next strategy for our Wei State is to annex Song and Wei! Start with the weakest and reach Wei first! I wonder what you think? " Pang Juan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, annexing Wei and Song may cause many countries to attack Wei together. I think it is better to destroy Qin first. Although Qin is poor, its ambition has not declined! Moreover, I have received a secret report from Guanzhong County that Qin has begun to reform secretly, and it is said that it is training new troops somewhere! I think we should take advantage of the fact that the reform of Qin has not been completed yet, and immediately launch a war to destroy Qin!" Wei Lang said unhappily, "General Pang, Qin is a poor country, and Qin was defeated by my Wei State, and has lost one-third of its territory. It is estimated that Qin is no longer able to fight my Wei State. Why should we stick to a poor country? ”

Pang Juan still said: "Your Majesty, if Wei wants to annex the world, it must destroy Qin. Although Qin is poor, its ambition is not weakened. If Wei does not take the opportunity to annihilate Qin, it will be very difficult to annihilate Qin when Qin's reform is over! I have three strategies for your majesty to decide, and I will definitely be able to unify the world!"

Wei Ling didn't want to fight a poor country, but when he heard that Pang Juan had three strategies to decide, he asked: "What are the three strategies of General Pang?"

Pang Juan replied: "The best strategy is to annihilate Qin and then lead the troops of the Three Jins to attack Chu, and then annex the countries in the Central Plains, and then cultivate for a few years to annex the countries one by one. This time it only takes ten years. The middle strategy is to annihilate Qi and then lead the troops of the Three Jins to attack Chu, and then annex the countries one by one. This strategy will take a full 20 years! The worst strategy is to destroy Zhao, then unite with Han and Chu to divide Qi, then annex the Central Plains countries, and finally attack Han, and then annex the countries one by one. This strategy will take 50 years! ”

But Wei Ling did not listen to Pang Juan, but asked Wu Tong: "Sima, what do you think?"

Wu Tong stood up and replied: "If Wei wants to unify the world, it must solve its worries, and Qin is the worry of Wei, so Wei must destroy Qin first, otherwise even if we go to attack other countries, we may be attacked by Qin from behind! And from a strategic point of view, destroying Qin is the best choice for Wei! First, Qin is far away from Shandong countries in the west, and can be used as the rear base of Wei. When Wei wants to annex the Central Plains countries, Qin's land can provide supplies continuously! Second, getting Qin's land can better attack Chu. We Wei can attack from both sides and attack Chu in two ways! In this way, Chu's military strength can be dispersed. ”

Wei Ying did not listen to Wu Tong, but said to himself: "I also know the art of war, so our next strategy for the country is to annex Wei and Song, and then annex the princes under Si, and finally attack Zhao and Han, recuperate for a few years, and finally annex each country one by one! I hereby order a three-year rest, and after three years, launch a war to destroy Wei!"

The ministers saw that the Marquis of Wei was still firm in his opinion and could not say anything, so they shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
