Chapter 51 The Holy Land
People who have learned these principles understand the truth, but when they really need to do it, they are often too far away from the truth.
Wei Ji was not unaware of the king's theory that rulers should understand that Gongshuzhu said.
After Gongshuzhu repeatedly persuaded him, Wei Ji also understood that if he had to bear the responsibility of enduring humiliation for the sake of the country and the ancestral temple.
As for future evaluations, Wei Ji understood that the people in the world will ultimately depend on the results.
If everything I did could bring about the rise of Wei State and pacify the world in the future, then my evaluation in future generations would inevitably be extremely high.
At that time, we will have a lot of talent, endure humiliation, recognize ourselves, shrink strategically, and rest, and give Wei a chance to breathe and develop, and avoid the edge for the moment.
If everything I did was useless in the future, but was instead annexed by other princes or Si Shang, then my evaluation in later generations would be very low.
At that time, I will be short-sighted and do not know the enemy. I will allow Si Shang to rise and not take advantage of the only opportunity to weaken Si Shang.
The final result is still the result. As for the third possibility, Wei Ji understood that it was impossible to exist in this great dispute.
It will either annex the world or be annexed by other families. This is the general trend.
Wei Ji thought for a long time and sighed: "Xiangbang also knew the ambition of Si Shang, and he had always known the various remarks of Si Shang since Mozi passed away and the Heze League was in line with the right position. I always felt that Si Shang was the great enemy of the princes in the world, but the princes could not be united at this time and had their own thoughts."
Gongshuzhuo also sighed: "When did the princes be single-minded? Is Kuiqiu alliance a matter of being single-minded? It is nothing more than that Qi Huan is powerful enough to suppress Chu, and the small countries in the Central Plains have to follow; the alliance of Jiantu is powerful enough to suppress the Central Plains, and the small countries have to follow."
"Your Majesty knows that Si Shang will eventually be a big problem, Qi, Zhao, Qin, and Chu, don't you know?"
"But the Lord thought that if this time the Si Shang was weak and the Chu people suffered heavy losses, and civil strife broke out, would the Lord not attack Chu because the Chu people made a lot of efforts in the anti-Mo war?"
Wei Jiran said nothing.
Gongshu Zhuo said: "This is the same truth. The king cannot do this, so the Qin, Chu, Han, Zhao, and others cannot do this."
"The world is in chaos, and the world is bound to be one. In a great struggle, the princes are fighting for power. Such a solution is already destined. All countries must have their own thoughts, so how can they work together?"
"Only when Si Shang continues to be aggressive can all countries understand that Si Shang's threat is the first priority, and it is possible."
"In the past, Zheng Boke Duan was in Yan, and today Si Shang occupied the Song territory, which was the same. One day, what Si Shang did will make the world understand, and the harm will be gone."
Wei Ji nodded, recognized Gongshuzhu's statement, and finally decided on the strategy of Wei's comprehensive strategic contraction.
…………
A few days later, the State of Wei began to promote the anti-Mo manifesto of the emperor's father Yue Ling, and sent envoys to communicate with Han Chuqi, and made a move to interfere with the State of Song.
It was rumored that Wei and Si Shang had to go to war, soldiers began to gather in the capital, peasant soldiers began to be recruited, and the Xihe area also sent people to supervise Xihe's defense in case of sneak attacks by the Qin people.
At this critical moment, Han Hou's envoy finally arrived in Weidu.
After some comprehension responses, the secret conversation between Han Hou’s envoy, Wei Ji and Gongshu Zhuo began.
The Han envoy did not know the strategy of Wei, and still thought that Wei wanted to start a war against Si Shang, so before he came again, the program given by Han Hou was to take advantage of the help of Wei when it urgently needed South Korea's support and urgently needed to erode Zheng.
But Wei Ji had already followed Gongshuzhu's advice, so Wei State took the initiative in negotiations, which was a bottom line that South Korea could not know.
The bottom line of Wei State is that the water is bounded by the boundary.
Zheng Feng was very lustful, and there was a song saying: "Qing and Wu are just shabby. The scholar and the daughter are just sticking to each other. The woman said, "Watch?" The scholar said, "So now." "Let's go and watch!" In addition, he was really happy. Wei and the daughter asked him to tease each other and gave him a spoon of medicine.
Zheng State had early reforms and the people were prosperous early. The Bulgarian Basin was the essence of Zheng State, with fertile land and a large population.
The Wushui River Basin can be regarded as the birthplace of folk vernacular, and the basis of this origin is that the people once had a material foundation for prosperity.
Using shui as the natural dividing line can avoid the situation of intertwining between Wei and Zhao, and temporarily suppress the conflicts between Wei and Han.
The Korean envoy did not know what the Wei people were thinking, so he first suffered a lot, and then talked about the revenge between Zheng and Han, and finally talked about the threats of Zheng and Han from Si to the State of Zheng.
Zheng State had no great threat at this time, but in order to gain the support of Wei State, South Korea said: "Zheng, Zeng Ba. Although he is now in decline, he has also won many victories in Huangchi."
"The Mo family practiced military conspiracy and evil politics. If Zheng State followed Si, it would be strong. In twenty years, Wei Han obtained half of Zheng's territory. This hatred of Zheng people often remembered that today's surrender to Wei was nothing more than a temporary solution."
"today……"
When the Korean envoy was still ready to continue speaking, Wei said coldly: "Such as Zheng State is second to Si, it will be destroyed."
The Korean envoy did not react for a moment and was ready to continue to give some reasons, so he was stunned for a moment.
It took a long time to realize what Wei Ji said. He was shocked and thought he had heard it wrong.
Zheng State has always been a buffer between Wei and Han. Wei State has never allowed South Korea to annex Zheng State, and has always used Zheng State to suppress South Korea.
This time when we came to Wei, the envoy of South Korea wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Wei's hype that he wanted to go to war with Si Shang, so as to threaten Wei and allow South Korea to annex part of Zheng's land.
I never thought that I had organized many languages, so after saying a little, Wei Ji directly agreed...
Han Envoy understood that his eloquence was afraid that he could not change the king's mind in one word. He thought that Wei was always in love with Tun Zheng, and hurriedly said, "What the king and lord said is extremely true. If the country is small and has two hearts, it will be destroyed."
Wei Ji said: "This matter needs to be confidential and cannot be leaked, otherwise the Chu people will need to interfere."
"Now, the rebellion of Mo and Si Shang is a major plan for the world. The Mo family will cause trouble to the world, and the world will be destroyed. Zheng State will be close to Si Shang and seek the way of destruction."
"This time the alliance is about to question. When the alliance is held, the crime will be reviewed and the sacrifices will be preserved, but the territory will be governed."
"This is not for the territory of Zheng State, but for the people of Zheng State not to be deceived by the Mo family, and for the people of Zheng State not to suffer the pain of war. This is to obey the laws of heaven."
"You can reply quickly. I have a letter to Han Hou. This matter must not be leaked. If you meet the alliance in the month, you will attack the Zheng people."
The specific division of interests cannot be negotiated and decided by just a mere messenger. More negotiations are needed for the subsequent matter, but Wei State has an advantage.
The alliance will be held after the month, just to cover up the eyes.
At that time, everyone in the world thought that Wei would interfere in the State of Song, and Chu would send envoys to participate in the subsequent alliance. However, on the way to the alliance, everyone in the world thought that Wei would interfere in the State of Song, and Zheng would be destroyed in one fell swoop, and Wei and Han divided the land of Zheng.
If you want to add a crime, there is no reason to worry about it. What is important is not the charge, but the attitude of Wei.
Now on the side of Wei State, Wei State has begun to mobilize soldiers. Whether it is Han or Chu, they will think that the purpose of Wei State's mobilization was to start a war against Si Shang, and they did not beware of the change in the entire strategy of Wei State.
Wei had already taken the lead in dividing Zheng State.
…………
When Wei Han conspired.
The six fingers, who have become the commander of the Si army, have already arrived at Chuqiu, the state of Song.
Chuqiu is surrounded by mulberry forests, and it is one of the most developed embroidery areas in the Song Dynasty and even the world.
In addition to being famous for embroidery, this place is also a monument with special significance, and it is a monument called a monument at this time.
Liu Finger stood vigorously on the rain praying platform where Shang Tang prayed for rain back then. There was once a huge and powerful dance of the mulberry forest. Now such a large-scale group gymnastics performance has not been held for many years, and even if it is held, it will be a shrinking version.
It was a large dance that required human and slave blood sacrifices as sacrifices, but now it is just a small dance that only requires a hundred people to perform.
Liu Finger stood on the rain prayer platform, looked at the ancient monument and sighed: "Is this not the place where Shang Tang cut his hair and broke his hands in the past?"
The representative of the legion said: "Yes, it is rumored that the world was drought in the past, and Shang Tang wanted to use himself as a sacrifice to God and pray for rain."
Six fingers held the horse whip and pointed to the place where the Song tribes were worshipping for many years in the distance and smiled: "It's just a means to fool the people. The ancient wizards knew the will of heaven and understood when there would be rain, but they could not spread these secrets to the people and hid them themselves, making the people think that they could communicate with God, monopolize the divine power, and convince the people."
"The Giant Zi said back then that the sacred affairs of the Five Emperors and Three Generations deceived the people of the world."
"Today we don't pray for rain, but we lead the people to dig ditches. We have no worries about drought and flood, but it is far better than Shang Tang back then."
"If Shang Tang really wants to benefit the people, he will definitely be relieved. If he had only made a show of God and fooled the people, then he would have no choice but to do anything today."
The few people behind him laughed, and even ancient saints like Shang Tang had no awe in their eyes.
This is the border of the mulberry forest.
This is the tribal settlement where the ancestors of Chu people lived in the Central Plains in ancient times. It was the rise of the Jilian tribe, the ancestors of Chu State who had carnalized their six sons.
This is another important sacrificial place for Chu State abroad.
This is where Shang Tang prays for rain.
This is Tushan in the Central Plains version of Dayu and Tushan Nvjiao, but the Mohist version of Tushan was recognized by the law of Dayu and Yue Kingdom in Yue.
This is the place where the Sanglin Ding of the Song Dynasty was once sacrificial.
This is the place where the Song Dynasty sacrificed its achievements in the military service of Wu Ding and attacking the barbarians.
The rise of Shang was the second highest in Chuqiu.
Jing Yuanweihe, Yin received the order of Xianyi.
How could he get the Tushan girl to know about Taisang?
This is a land with a sacred meaning, at least once sacred.
