The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

Qi State Court

Tian Yinqi had a pleasant night just a few days ago. The Princess of Song State really made him obsessed. She was worthy of being a fairy descending to earth.

He said happily: "Everyone, now Song has married my Qi, and the two countries have an alliance. I think it's time to make the twelve princes of Sixia submit to me! What do you think?"

Prime Minister Zou Ji stood up and advised: "Your Majesty, it is still difficult to make the twelve princes of Sixia submit. There were originally 12 countries in the twelve princes of Sixia. After Wei destroyed Teng, only 11 were left to survive and huddle together for warmth. However, I recently heard that the king of Xue has also worked hard in recent years and has become the strongest among the 11 princes. He has become the leader of them. I am afraid that my Qi may not be able to take it down."

Tian Ji stood up and disdained Zou Ji's words and said: "Your Majesty, I think my Qi is feasible. Xue has only more than 10,000 soldiers nationwide. It should be worried about Wei. If Wei blocks it, I am afraid they will not be allowed to submit. But please rest assured, even if he Wei Even if the State of Qi comes to stop us, I am willing to lead the army to defeat the Wei army. Why should Qi, with 300,000 soldiers, shrink back? If Qi wants to become a hegemon, it must be tough! "

Tian Yinqi nodded and said, "General, what you said is very true. I have decided to destroy the State of Xue and force them to submit to me by force!"

Chunyu Kun stood up and objected, "Your Majesty, you can't do that! If you forcibly destroy the State of Xue, I'm afraid those vassal states may not necessarily submit to you, and may even turn to you. Wei, if Wei uses this as an excuse to attack Qi, Qi will be in danger! I think we can ask General Tian to mobilize the army to conduct military exercises near Xue to deter them! In this way, we don’t have to worry about them not submitting to Qi! "

Tian Tan stood up and supported: "Your Majesty, Doctor Chun is right, please think twice."

"Well..., okay, Tian Ji, you lead 50,000 troops to conduct military exercises near Xue to deter them!" Tian Yinqi ordered.

"Yes!"

Xueyi

As the capital of Xue State, Xue State was founded here since the Xia Dynasty. The city of Xueyi was still built according to the requirements of Zhou Li. The whole city has four gates, and this city is not divided into small and large cities as popular nowadays. There is only one small city. There are palaces for the king to live in, residences for the people to live in, and workshops for craftsmen in the city. The market is set up outside the city, and Xue State still cultivates according to the farming method of the Western Zhou Dynasty and still implements the well-field system.

Xue State Court

When Xue Hou Ren Zheng learned that the Qi army was stationed near Xue State for training, he panicked and asked his ministers: "The Qi army is training near our country. I am very worried that they will suddenly attack our country. What should I do?"

Grand Guardian Dongmen Jie stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think Qi is training on our border. It should be to let our country lead the twelve princes under Si to submit to Qi. I think Xue State should do three things well. First, all the food in the villages outside the city should beFirst, transport them to the city and immediately build the city defense to prepare for defense; second, send envoys to Wei; third, since Qi wants my Xue to submit to Qi, then I think we should send envoys to Qi immediately. In this way, the twelve princes of Sixia will naturally come to my Xue to submit to Qi, and the Qi army will retreat. "

"Okay! Just follow the advice of the Grand Protector."

In the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Wei Ling was fishing leisurely with a fishing rod. Hui Shi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy of Xue came to me yesterday. The Qi army is stationed outside the border of Xue. It is estimated that Qi wants the twelve princes of Sixia to submit to him."

"Qi, there is no need to worry about it. My current goal is to deal with Zhao." Wei Ling threw a big carp with force.

Hui Shi obeyed and said, "Yes! ”

Qi State Court

The envoy of Xue State held the jade sceptre and bowed to Tian Yinqi, saying: "Greetings, Duke Qi!"

"Please stand up. What is the business of the envoy of Xue State this time?" Tian Yinqi said arrogantly.

The envoy of Xue State said respectfully: "This time, I am here to represent that my Xue State is willing to pay tribute to Qi State and offer ten beauties, ten thousand gold coins, and ten pearls. Please accept them, Duke Qi."

Tian Yinqi said indifferently: "The envoy of Xue State seems to be not sincere enough, right?"

"Then what does Duke Qi want?"

"As long as Xue State cedes five cities to Qi State, my Qi State will withdraw its troops immediately." Tian Yinqi said greedily.

The envoy of Xue State said in embarrassment: "Duke Qi, ceding land is like cutting meat, and my Xue State has only so much land, and there are only a dozen cities in the whole country. ”

“If you don’t give up, I won’t withdraw!” Tian Yinqi said viciously.

“My country Xue is willing to cede the city.” Xue’s envoy agreed reluctantly.

When the rest of the twelve princes of Sixia learned that Xue had also surrendered to Qi, they also sent envoys to surrender to Qi.

Wei Guo’s court

Wei Ling said to everyone: “Everyone, I recently heard that the twelve princes of Sixia all sent envoys to Qi to pay homage to the Duke of Qi. What do you think Qi wants to do?”

Hui Shi stood up and said seriously: “Your Majesty, Qi’s actions are completely provocative to the hegemony of our great Wei. I think Qi must be deterred!”

Wei Ling shook his head and said: “Hui Zi, it’s just the title of a hegemon. I don’t want to fight for that title at all. Let Qi jump first and wait until the pig is fattened before eating!”

“Color! "The ministers shouted.

"Report to my king, according to the spies, Qin defeated Yiqiu, and the King of Yiqiu sent envoys to present six white flags to the Duke of Qin, and Yiqiu also surrendered to Qin." The foreign minister Gongsun Yue stood up and said.

Wei Ling said with displeasure: "Now the big countries in the world are annexing small countries, strong countries are annexing weak countries, and weak countries are also changing their laws to seek self-protection. These things have not been approved by our great Wei! I have decided to hold an alliance with the princes of the world! I wonder what you think?"

Meng Ke stood up and objected: "Your Majesty, now the whole world is only strong in our great Wei, this alliance will be held inThe princes will spend a huge amount of money, I think this will increase the burden on the people! "

"What do you think Situ should do? Let these countries listen to me and do what I ask! Do I have to send a large army to fight? Can they beat them? So I decided to hold a meeting with the princes!" Wei Ling said with a little displeasure.

Mencius said again: "Your Majesty, those who win the hearts of the people can be the emperor, those who win the heart of the emperor can be princes, those who win the hearts of the princes can be officials, and those who win the hearts of officials can be scholars. Now your Majesty only needs to grasp the hearts of the people of the world, and the whole world will listen to you. Why bother to hold a meeting with the princes of the world?"

Wei Ling felt that it made sense, but he still did not give up the idea and continued to say: "But I am worried! What should I do now when they become bigger and stronger in the future? ”

“Your Majesty, they only captured the hearts of the princes, and you captured the hearts of the people of the world. Who in the world can beat the sword of the emperor with the sword of the princes? Now your Majesty is a ‘benevolent’ person in the hearts of the people of the country. As long as your benevolence is widely spread to the people of the world, the people of the world will obey you and be willing to come to your country to be your people. Why do you need to use the sword of the princes? Your Majesty should use the sword of the emperor!” Mencius advised bitterly.

“I understand! Thank you for your teachings, Mencius!” Wei Lang stood up and saluted Mencius as a teacher.

Report～～“Border secret report!”

“Show it up!” Wei Lang took the secret report, opened it and scanned it, then laughed: “Haha～～Yan and Qi had a conflict on the border. The Yan army ran into Qi and massacred the people of three villages on the border of Qi! It seems that Qi and Yan are going to fight!"

Wei Shen stood up and said: "Father, this is a good opportunity! Two tigers fighting! One will be injured, and then my Wei can take advantage of the situation!"

"Okay! Take advantage of the situation..."
