The Great Wei Empire in the Warring States Period

In the court

Wei Ling smiled and said: "Everyone, the military generals of Wei have been recruited. Now we only need to discuss one thing, that is, what should Wei do next year?"

Pang Juan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, after three years of recuperation, Wei has recovered. I have trained another 30,000 soldiers for Wei, and 50,000 soldiers are all in place! The lost soldiers have also been replenished, and the 400,000 iron army is ready, waiting for the king's order!"

"Okay! I want to let all countries in the world know that Wei will always be the strongest country in the world! My wish is to unify the Three Jins, but after Sima's planning, I decided to attack Song first and force Song to abandon Qi and surrender to Wei! I will divide my troops into two groups, one with 100,000 to attack Song! The other with 100,000 will attack Zhao together with Han!" Wei Ling ordered.

Prime Minister Hui Shi stood up and said, "Excuse me, Your Majesty, if we attack in two directions, I am worried that the rear will be at a disadvantage."

"Prime Minister, please be worried! I have decided that the general will lead 100,000 troops to join the Kingdom of Han to attack Zhao, and General Wei Cuo will lead 100,000 troops to attack Song! This battle is to destroy Zhao in one battle, and the French will agree to share Zhao with Han! Second, attack Song to make it surrender!" Wei Ling ordered.

Report~~ "Your Majesty, there is a man outside the palace who wants to see you. He said that he can unify the world for you!"

"Oh! Let him in." Wei Ling said curiously.

The man was dressed in white and looked heroic. He bowed and said, "I, Gongsun Yan, greet you, Your Majesty!"

"What do you want to teach me, sir?" Wei Ling asked.

Gongsun Yan asked back: "Do you want hegemony or kingship?"

Wei Ling sneered: "Sir, I know what hegemony and kingship are, so I don't need you to teach me."

Gongsun Yan asked again: "Then what does the king think is hegemony and kingship?"

"Hegemony is like Duke Huan of Qi uniting the princes for nine times and pacifying the world, Duke Wen of Jin defeating Chu and dominating the Central Plains, or King Helu of Wu entering Ying after five battles and dominating one side. Kingship is the ancient sage kings who govern the world with benevolence and win the hearts of the people of the world!" Wei Ling replied.

Gongsun Yan smiled and said: "Your Majesty is right, but this is not true hegemony or true kingship!"

"Then what is hegemony, sir? What is kingship?" Wei Ling asked in confusion.

Gongsun Yan explained: "The hegemony is to unite the Three Jins, bully Chu in the south, suppress Qi in the east, and resist Qin in the west, and take the head of the Three Jins as the highest to gain a foothold in the world. But the hegemony can only defend but not attack, and cannot expand its territory. It can only passively defend to maintain its hegemony! The king's goal is to unify the world. The great Wei Kingdom has 400,000 elite soldiers, and even this Wei Wuzu spear. How can the countries in the world resist! Therefore, the strategy to unify the world is only sixteen words, divide Song with Qi, ally with Han to destroy Zhao, first destroy Western Qin, and then destroy Qi and Chu! This is my strategy to unify the world!"

"What you said is very good, sir, but I have a question, that is, why can Wei only defend but not attack if it takes the path of hegemony?" Wei Ling said puzzledly.

Gongsun Yan saw that it was another opportunity, and hurriedly said: "My king, it seems good to unite the Three Jins to suppress the world, but the only direction that Han can expand is Chu., Zhao's expansion direction is Yan and Qi, while Wei's expansion direction is those small countries in the Central Plains. Yan, Qi and Chu are all big countries. If the king defends, it's fine. If you attack, if you attack Chu, then Zhao will not benefit, if you attack Qi, then Han will not benefit, and if you attack Qin, Zhao and Han will not benefit. If you attack Yan, which is far in the north, it will be disadvantageous to the king. Now the king still wants to be hegemonic?"

"I don't want to, then I would like to ask you, sir, our Sima said that we should not annex Song, but compete with Qi in Song, just like the hegemony of Jin and Chu in Zheng, but you said that we should share Song with Qi, but our Sima said that Song is a buffer zone between Qi and Wei. If it is destroyed, it may make my Wei defense suffer." Wei Gong said. Gongsun Yan laughed and said, "Your Sima must be a stupid person! He actually wanted to be a hegemon as before! How stupid! "

Shi Ju was furious when he heard this and suppressed his anger and asked: "Mr. Gongsun Yan, then can you tell me what are the benefits of annexing Song?"

"Yes! Sir, please tell me first! If you can't say anything, sir, you are insulting the Sima of my great Wei State, which is a capital crime!" Wei Ling also said angrily.

Gongsun Yan explained: "There are two benefits to dividing Song. The first is that it can make Wei's national strength stronger, and the second is that Chu will attack Qi!"

"Sir, can you explain it more clearly? "Wei Ling's attitude also softened a lot.

"The first benefit is beyond doubt, but the second benefit, Your Majesty, please think about it. Song is the richest country in the world. There are Wei, Qi and Chu close to Song. Now Your Majesty stops at Qi. If Song is divided, Chu will certainly be dissatisfied, but Wei is stronger than Qi, so the King of Chu will have to vent his anger on Qi. This is a strategy of two tigers fighting each other. Isn't this a benefit? Moreover, Sima said that if it is divided with Qi, Song will make our country's defense more difficult, but isn't Qi difficult to defend?" Gongsun Yan replied.

After hearing this, Wei Ling said happily: "Sir, you are really talented! ”

His face changed and he said: "But sir, what you said is indeed very reasonable, but you said that you want to divide Zhao with Han, and divide Song with Qi, and then destroy Qin to the west, but Han is strong, Qi and Chu are developing secretly behind the scenes, what if the national strength exceeds that of Wei? And it is already difficult to attack and destroy Song, and it is even more difficult to attack and destroy Qin with the power of Wei alone, and we must ensure that other countries do not interfere with the annexation of Wei. Mr. Qin, tell me how to solve this situation? ”

Gongsun Yan also had a flash of panic in his heart when he heard it, but he quickly calmed down and said: "When the enemy comes, the general will stop it, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it! This is just a strategic plan, and the real tactics still depend on the generals. ”

Wei Ying asked back: "Excuse me, sir, do you know the military? Our Sima has never lost a battle, defeated Yan, resisted Zhao, and attacked Song! Excuse me, sir, can you compare with our Sima! "After all, Gongsun Yan's mockery of Shi Ju was almost a mockery of Wei Ling. The position of SimaThe position was given by Wei Lang, so this is just mocking Wei Lang in reverse.

Gongsun Yan said calmly: "I know a little bit about military tactics. As long as the king gives me 1,000 soldiers and asks a general to bring 1,000 soldiers, we can compete in battle to see who is better!"

Wei Lang had some good feelings for him at first, but saying bad things about Sima was obviously scolding him, so he had to suppress his arrogance! Young people should not be too arrogant!

Order: "General Long Jia, you compete with this gentleman!"

"Yes!"

Grand Parade Ground

Long Jia stood on the chariot and commanded a thousand soldiers to form a defensive formation. He watched Gongsun Yan's battle method carefully.

Gongsun Yan also stood on the chariot holding a flag to command the soldiers, and said: "Chariots in front! Infantry in the middle! Bows and crossbows in the formation! Attack!"

Everyone was watching Gongsun Yan on the viewing platform. Wei Ling laughed and said: "Isn't this the usual attack formation? It seems that this man is just like this!"

Long Jia also laughed when he saw Gongsun Yan's operation. Isn't this a fighting method that will kill people? When guarding Xihe County, Qin general Shu Changguo liked to use this fighting method to fight him, but he defeated Shu Changguo many times.

Long Jia ordered: "The whole army should focus on defense! Hold on and slowly consume the enemy's morale!"

"Attack!"

Gongsun Yan's army slowly moved forward. When they were about to reach the range of the bows and crossbows, Gongsun Yan suddenly stopped.

The chariots suddenly turned around and retreated, while the infantry were ahead. The chariots were behind the infantry and exposed the sides of the archers to the enemy.

Long Jia shook his head in his heart. It seems that this kid is still too young. I will give him some face and not annihilate his army.

Long Jia ordered: "Chariots attack the enemy's front army, infantry attack the side! Bows and crossbows cover and guard against enemy chariots!"

Long Jia's army changed its tactics and attacked Gongsun Yan's army directly.

Gongsun Yan chuckled after watching: "The army retreated steadily, and the bows and crossbows covered the army's retreat!"

Gongsun Yan's army retreated again when they saw Long Jia had already attacked. Long Jia couldn't figure out what Gongsun Yan was doing. Do you think he has a conspiracy? It doesn't seem like it. Do you think he can't fight? It seems that he really can't fight.

Long Jia's army chased them directly, but suddenly Gongsun Yan's army counterattacked. Gongsun Yan's chariot troops attacked the archers behind Long Jia at some point.

"Not good!" Long Jia immediately ordered: "Divide the troops to resist the enemy!"

Gongsun Yan saw Long Jia's division of troops and ordered: "Return the chariots! All troops unite to defeat the enemy one by one!"

The result was that Long Jia's sudden division of troops caused the troops to be too dispersed, and they were eliminated one by one by Gongsun Yan's army. Long Jia was also surrounded by Gongsun Yan's army. Long Jia was forced to get off the chariot and surrender.

The people on the stage were also stunned. They didn't expect this young man to be so good at using troops! Except for Pang Juan and Shi Ju, who did not show surprise, the rest of them were shocked. Wei Ling alsoUnexpectedly, the result was that General Longgu was defeated. You know, General Longjia was a good general of Wei State. He guarded Xihe County for eight years, defeated Zhao State near Yecheng, and fought with Pang Juan. You know, in Wei Ling's mind, Longjia was the most powerful general of Wei State besides Pang Juan. He was completely wiped out by this young man!

Wei Shen, the time traveler, was also amazed. He didn't expect that the history books said that Gongsun Yan was a master of war. He thought Xu Rufeng was fake, but he didn't expect it to be so powerful!

Wei Lang hurriedly walked down the platform and walked towards Gongsun Yan, saying, "Sir, please don't blame me. I didn't know you were so talented. I beg you to stay in my Wei State! I am willing to appoint you as a guest official! After you have made contributions, I will immediately appoint you as a general!"

"I am willing to serve the king until death!"

Then, he bowed to Long Jia and said, "I am rude. I beg General Long Jia to forgive my offense!"

Long Jia was also convinced of his defeat and was very satisfied with this kid in his heart. He said generously, "It's okay! Gongsun Yan! I like you! Your ability to use troops makes me feel like a general's use of troops!"

Pang Juan didn't know what he thought of, and pointed at Gongsun Yan and said, "Fourth Junior Brother?"

"Senior Brother! The teacher asked me to find you in Wei State. This is the letter the teacher asked me to give you!" Gongsun Yan took out a bamboo slip and handed it to Pang Juan.

Pang Juan took it and saw that it turned out to be the chapter on terrain in "Sima Fa". There was also a note from his master Guiguzi on it, and there was a sentence at the end: "If you meet a horse, you will be exhausted! Remember what your master said!"

…………

Wei Shen personally took a carriage with Gongsun Yan, took Gongsun Yan's hand and came to a gorgeous mansion, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gongsun Yan, what do you think of this mansion?"

"Very good! Thank you, Your Highness!"

Wei Shen smiled and said: "Mr. Gongsun Yan, please! These are the five beauties and ten four-horse carriages given to you by my father!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Gongsun Yan ate the delicious meat and drank the clear and delicious wine. He felt that he was not far from being made a marquis and a prime minister. Isn't this what a real man should have!

Gongsun Yan suddenly looked at a jade pendant on his waist and thought sadly: "I wonder how Brother Zhang Yi is doing? I have been rewarded by the King of Wei, so he is not still poor and destitute, right?"
