The two sides have long disputes and make sense, so it is difficult to decide.

The Duke of Qi thought for a long time and wanted to send someone to ask about the attitudes of the three parties.

Qin, Zhao, Si Shang.

I went to Si Shang to test the official attitude of the Mo family, and tested the idea of ​​uniting the states that were unresolved seven years ago into Jiuzhou.

This is not to say that Qi State has this meaning, but to see what the Mohist school thinks.

After all, if countries send troops to interfere in Si Shang, they either do not do it, and if they want to do it, they must do it.

The prerequisite for sending troops to intervene in various countries is whether the grudges between Qin and the Three Jins can be negotiated?

If we talk about it, Qin must have all the Xihe conditions. Can the Three Jins agree?

It was not Qin that supported the Mo family's policies, and the two sides cursed each other for a day or two. The problem was that the slowest rise of the Mo family was Qin, so Qin had a lot of bargaining chips.

Nanzheng is indeed not far from Xianyang, the new capital of Qin. However, it was difficult for the Qin army to cross the Qinling Mountains to attack Nanzheng, and Nanzheng also found it difficult for Nanzheng to cross the Qinling Mountains to attack Qin.

If Qin State had come to the disaster of destruction, the sacrifices of the Eastern countries might have been cut off, and the grass on the ancestral temples would have grown three feet high.

Although the Duke of Qi was not a hero, he still understood some of the situation.

Once countries interfere and cannot exterminate Si Shang and completely eradicate the Mo family, Qi will have to bear great revenge in the future and will be the first to bear the brunt.

Wei State had no hope for this within decades, and if Si Shang was defeated, Qin and Zhao would definitely expand.

Qin and Zhao's foundations are in the Wei River and the other is in Hebei, but Qi is different.

In the past, the Wu and Yue disputed, and the Yue Kingdom was restored and destroyed Wu in a battle of twenty years. How could the Mo family be compared with the Yue Kingdom? If the Mo family could not be completely beaten to death and wounded, once the Mo family recovered and suddenly attacked Qi, how long would it take for the princes to help?

Therefore, in May when the quarrels were quarrels in Qi, the Duke of Qi sent three waves of envoys to Handan, Xianyang and Pengcheng to test the attitudes of all parties to make favorable decisions.

…………

Xianyang, the new capital of Qin State.

The elderly Wu Qi was lying on the bed, and the schizophrenia was hard to heal and he was old.

Qin Jun knelt down and felt sad when he looked at the old minister who was in twilight.

Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements, and those who are good at planning have no great reputation.

Qin Jun understood this truth very well. After this unparalleled man who once became famous in the world and raised 30,000 troops, the invincible man who had no intention of rebelling against the North, captured Xihe and then fought against Daliang in one battle. After coming to Qin, he did not seem to have led his troops to fight a shocking battle.

But his contributions were far greater than when he was in Wei State.

He became generals and ministers, and reformed and strengthened his reforms. Over the past ten years, the Qin State had a legion that obeyed the kings. He had good training and strict discipline.

During the Battle of Xihe, this old national soldier had long said that Wei had been weakened by the Mo family and that many ministers of Qin could lead troops to defeat Wei. Because of his oath, it was impossible for him to personally lead troops to attack the Wei Wuzhang who was once trained by him.

Wu Qi was busy allowing Qin to explore westward, stabilize production, open up land, recruit soldiers, and obtain horses.

In the years when Qin State opened westward, there has never been a big battle of tens of thousands of people.

Muskets, stirrups, iron armor, iron tools, discipline, improved chariot and defense tactics, potatoes and corn and other high-yield crops... The Qin State opened westward almost flat, and one or two thousand cavalry could chase the primitive tribe of tens of thousands of people and fled wildly.

There is nothing that can shock the world's military achievements.

In this dullness, the Qin State built four new counties, collected more than 100,000 people, expanded one million mu of arable land, and promoted the power and settlement policies to the surrounding areas of Zhuyeze.

At this time, the world ranked among the top three in the world, located near Wuwei in later generations, and was also an important water source for the Hexi Corridor to be developed in later generations.

The Qin people cultivated farms here and gathered nomadic people to cultivate land and plant them. With the trade in the west, the place gradually became richer, and became the base for Qin to advance westward, and became the westernmost side where the Qin State actually controlled and effectively ruled.

Some tribes in the west also began to surrender to Qin and did not dare to move lightly, allowing Qin to mobilize more people and troops to expand eastward.

All of this is nameless.

And at this time, the old ministers who made these nameless achievements were already exhausted.

"The world is in chaos, what can Qin general do?"

When Qin Jun asked this, Wu Qi asked back: "Your Majesty, what is the difficulty in destroying Chu?"

This is exactly what Qin Jun wants to know. Although Qin won the battle with Wei, it seemed that it was extremely difficult to destroy Wei in one battle.

But the Mo family destroyed Chu and pacified Jianghan in a battle, which made Qin Jun extremely worried, thinking that the gap between the two sides had reached this level?

The new military of Qin State used a system similar to the new military of Chu State. Although Qin State had a unique flint rifle, this flint rifle was too heavy and could not be equipped with a spearhead as a short spear, so the Qin State's legion still adopted the mixed model of musketeers and spearmen.

However, although this flint rifle is dull, it can be arranged very densely compared to a combroach that cannot be too close, making the firepower several times stronger than a combroach.

Therefore, the Qin State used the spearmen as the auxiliary to replace the heavy flint musket of Qin crossbows in history as the main output. The stirrup cavalry covered the two wings and adopted the tactic of spearmen defending and covering the musketeers to output the cavalry flank assault.

The power of the battle of Xihe was fully demonstrated, but it still won after a hard battle. As for the subsequent capture of the entire Wei Kingdom, it seemed a bit out of reach.

In contrast, the result of the Mo family's defeat of Chu in the battle made Qin Jun very nervous, which was related to the strategic decisions after Qin.

Seeing that Qin Jun's face was solemn, Wu Qi coughed lightly and squeezed out a smile and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry."

"The ministers of Chu State are powerful and enfeoffed the king's heart. The coup has just begun. With the military strength and training of Si Shang, they can defeat Chu with 70,000 troops. From my perspective, there are no less than ten people who can do this."

"Not to mention Si Shang, it is Qin. If the Six Fingers of Si Shang were the commanders to destroy Chu, there would be no less than ten people who could win the battle. The destruction of Chu was expected since the war began."

"Chu and Wei are different."

"Wei has reformed the law, and the monarch's power is concentrated. The monarch's power is small but the power is light. Why are the people involved? The Xihe River is steep and the field is fighting. Although it cannot defeat Qin, the government orders are unified."

"It is extremely difficult to destroy Wei. But once all the main field forces of Wei State are defeated, the destruction of Wei State will be extremely simple, and it is difficult to restore the country. Xihe will be a county in Qin in an instant."

"The State of Chu... is too heavy to divide the feudal matters. Once a war is defeated, the country can be destroyed. However, after the destruction, it may be easy to restore the country and difficult to rule."

"The difficulty in destroying Chu is not about destroying it, but about governance. In the past, when the Wu and Chu battled, Chu destroyed the country and returned to the battle, what's the use?"

These words made Qin Jun a little relieved. It sounded that the gap between the two sides was not as big as the heavens and man.

Wu Qi fought with Chu once when he was in Wei State. That time, he directly captured Daliang and killed a lot of feudal lords. In Wu Qi's opinion, it was the military system of Chu State, and he could really give 50,000 people to destroy Chu.

Therefore, the Chu State's reforms did not change over the years. After the Mo family defeated the Yue Navy, they suddenly attacked Chu in the west. Wu Qi had already concluded that the Chu State was over.

The Mo family destroyed Chu and sent nearly 70,000 elite field soldiers, which was something that Wu Qi envied.

Qin was too poor. Even though the reforms have been strong in recent years, the land climate cannot be changed by reforms.

As agriculture develops, people cannot die of starvation and eat enough, but the limit of productivity is that.

Wu Qi could only sigh at the news that Si Shang often sent 50,000 troops to 70,000 troops.

Wu Qi had long inferred that 30,000 standing troops had defeated 100,000 peasant soldiers. He had sent 100,000 troops in combat before, but the only ones that could be fought were only 10,000 or 20,000. The rest were just logistics supplies and civilians.

Fortunately, Qin State was able to explore the west and monopolize trade in the extreme west, so it would be able to support a standing army of 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. This was the limit. Now Qin State's wealth could not be as unrestrained as armed troops as the Si Shang.

Wu Qi comforted Qin Jun, but after comforting, there was something that had to be explained clearly.

"Your Majesty already knows that Chu State is easy to defeat but not easy to govern. But this time, the Mo family obviously prepared for more than ten years in order to destroy Chu. A large number of Mo people were proficient in Chu language. Once they entered Chu, they immediately set up counties and changed land. This is the terrible thing."

"If the emperor has the opportunity to destroy Chu in one battle, can he quickly establish counties and counties in Chu State and rule? Are there so many officials? Are there so many wealth and iron tools that can win the hearts of the people?"

Qin Jun was silent and sighed: "The riches of Si are known to everyone in the world. Cotton cloth is dozens of times that of me, food is ten times that of me, and iron tools are hundreds of times that of me, which is incomparable."

"As long as there is a lot of wealth, you can set up schools to seek everyone as a scholar, which is not comparable to that of the bitter and cold Qin."

"What's even more terrifying is that he is meticulous, and he is afraid that the matter of destroying Chu was decided more than ten years ago, otherwise how could he be able to rule by fighting and winning?"

Wu Qi also sighed and said, "The land of Jianghan is all returned to Mo. Three or five years later, with the financial and material resources of Si Shang and the human resources of Jianghan, the army can be expanded by another 50,000. Who in the world can stop it?"

Qin Jun nodded and said, "I am also worried about this matter. The Mo family's skills in governing the country are far better than those of the princes. They are also rich and rich, and literate people are the best in the world. If they get Chu, the world will definitely return to Mo."

"What you mean is that you must interfere with the Mohist school? This is the last chance, isn't it?"

Wu Qi said aloud and said for a long time: "Your Highness is a clever plan. If the Shang land is not available, the Mo family can station troops in Shang, question Lantian, and go straight to the Wei River. The Chu people have finished, and the capture of Shang land can still save Chu. If the Mo family is defeated in the future, they can go down from Shang land and enter Wandi in Nanyang."

"What the Lord said is that the last chance is true and not a dangerous statement. If the Mo family cannot be solved this time and the Mo family cannot force the Mo family to withdraw from Jianghan... The Lord can consider continuing to go west to the west to become a king. If this time, if there is no big victory, it will be the Mo family in the world within twenty years."

"Even if you win, you will need to work hard for the descendants of the three generations of descendants to dominate the country, or you may have a fight."

Qin Jun also had this idea in his mind. He was already worried and was not prepared to continue fighting against Wei. He even divided the Wei State with Qi and Zhao. Instead, he wanted to contact the princes to suppress the expansion of the Mo family, even in terms of terrain, Qin State might be affected in the end.
