Chapter 234 Wei Yang and Shang Yu (Part 2)
Although the emperor attaches great importance to it, Wei Yang does not have much confidence in this matter.
Qin Jun also knew the difficulties, and after a few words of encouragement, Wei Yang said: "What Yang learned is the law of punishment and reputation, and the words of governing politics. The corpse of the ancestor once said that following the Tao will be auspicious, and going against the Tao will be inauspicious, like an influence."
"What I have learned is the great way, not the cunning art of tongue and argument. Once you know it, you can know that it will be difficult to follow."
Qin Jun sighed and said, "The Mo family is growing bigger and will eventually cause disaster for all countries. Rebellion against Mo is the great way for all princes in the world."
Wei Yang smiled bitterly and said, "The king knows that Qi belongs to the world, but the world is not Qi. The great way of the princes in the world is a narrow road for Qi. Now the king asks me to go to Qi to talk about the great way. This is like saying to a person who caught fire at home, don't go to get water to put out the fire, otherwise others will be thirsty. I'm afraid it will be difficult to succeed."
What Wei Yang learned was all about the upright ways. It can be said that his punishment was severe, but this was also the upright way.
Governing the people, strictly enforce the law, and training the troops, and then the country is so powerful that it can win, and there is no need for those tricks to survive.
When Qin Jun heard this, he said for a long time and said for a while: "I also know that you are learning the great way, and you also know that governing the country and strengthening the military requires the great way. But in the end... Qin State was thirty years later than Si."
"Or, more than thirty years. The iron and mechanical gunpowder seeds on Si are at least thirty or fifty years. The gap in the past hundred years is, I am afraid that the right path will not be able to go through the narrow path and narrowly win."
"Wu Zi advised that if he could not control the Mo family this time, he would have to consider moving westward. I also know that the land in the west has rich land and a population that is easy to conquer and control the country. But unless it is absolutely necessary, how can I do this?"
"I have only seen the Mohist school of action over the years that I know what the great way is to conspire on the road."
Wei Yang also sighed: "The emperor's words are extremely true. Not only do you want to govern the country, but only talk about the laws of diplomacy and erraticism, the Mohist school has been taking the big path and making plans."
"In this way, the Mo family has been dormant for 30 years of planning. They did not rely on appointments to attack the division of land, but were waiting for our army to seize the Xihe River and the Zhao people to attack Zhongshan."
"Our army seized the Xihe River, which was due to the Mo family's entry into Shu and occupying Nan Zheng in an earlier era; Zhao's attack on Zhongshan was also due to the restoration of the country in the past; and Zhongshan's restoration of the country was due to the rebellion of Wei and Zhao; Wei and Zhao's rebellion originated from the rise of the Mo family in Si, and occupied Si Shang when Qi was in decline, which made Wei unable to go south to Si Shang and could only advance north..."
"Thirty years of planning have passed, and the general situation has been achieved. It is too difficult for the princes to win."
Qin Jun sighed, sighed for a while, and said, "Don't I know? Therefore, I gave up on Xihe and opposed Mo's rebellion with the princes. If I don't control each other for a few years, the Mo family will be able to promote the world and win the Luoyi."
"But now that the Mo family attacked Jiaodong, if the Qi people retreated to Jiaodong, or if they attacked Song territory with the Hanwei coalition forces without any preparation, it would be unfavorable to the overall situation."
Seeing that Wei Yang wanted to say something, Qin Jun interrupted: "I know what you mean by putting out fires and dying of thirst, but you still have to try it."
"At this time, the more defeated, the less defeated. Once the war is defeated, Qi will be destroyed and Han will be weak. In a few years, three or five years later, the Mo family will be able to win the title and no one can stop it."
"As you know the general trend, you know that this matter needs to be survived by death. You must give up Linzi and ignore it, lengthen the front line, station troops in the Wei and Han areas, and work together with the princes. After half a year, you will have sufficient preparations and more chances of victory."
Seeing that Qin Jun said this, Wei Yang had to bow his head and said, "That's the case, I'll ask for a try."
That night, Wei Yang went to visit Qi Xiangtian Ju. After a dry mouth, Tian Ju was unmoved and replied: "If you don't attack Song and force the Mo family to withdraw their troops, Qi will be in danger. The world's momentum is not the momentum of Qi!"
Wei Yang advised: "Yi belongs to the world. If the world belongs to Mo, will Qi move beyond the world?"
"Now Qin can come forward to guarantee that the Qi people will restore the country in the future. If the princes invade, Qin will definitely attack him!"
Tian Ju laughed and said, "If the alliance is useful, Zhengcheng would have been broken when Duke Mu was in the past. If the alliance is useful, Zhun's martial arts and tongue defense technique would be more useful, how could Duke Mu retreat?"
"Duke Mu defeated the alliance and dominated the country, Wen of Jin was rude and became the king, Goujian was shameless and tasted feces and became the king... On the contrary, those who keep the alliance are all Song Xiang!"
"In a great battle, only those who are shameless and unfaithful in the Warring States Period can dominate. From the lessons of history, the people of Qi cannot trust the words of the oath."
After a few words, he was about to stab the wound of Qin. He had too many things to do with the alliance, such as the famous lip and teeth killing his allies under Jinyang City, but Zhu Zhiwu’s five-character retreat to Qin is more appropriate here.
Seeing that Wei Yang could not speak, Tian Ju asked, "In the past, Zhu Zhiwu retreated to Qin five words, and every sentence was profitable, but no Qin people advised Duke Mu to resign if he retreated, he would be against the alliance; if he would be against the alliance, the world would be without trust; if he did not believe in the world, the world would be in chaos; if the world would be in chaos, everyone would be ambitious; if everyone had ambition, the princes would be respected..."
"If anyone can talk about the general trend, can anyone talk about it? Could it be that the chaos in the world today is because Duke Mu believed Zhu Zhiwu's words and asked for profit but refused to respect righteousness and retreated his troops? But since ancient times, they have been for small profits and few great righteousness."
"If Qi abandons Linzi, even if he recovers in the future, the Mohist schools of the people will be more serious than to be equal and not ashamed to seek profit. How can they rule?"
"If Qi abandons Linzi, Qin will promise to uphold justice today and not allow all countries to attack Qi. What will happen if it defeats the alliance tomorrow?"
Wei Yang said: "Qi and Qin are thousands of miles apart. If Qin cannot get Qi, how can Han, Wei and Zhao be able to get it and grow stronger?"
Tian Ju sneered: "Nanyang, Nanzheng, Jianghan are all fertile land. Qin will not take these three places for Qi, but will it start a war for Qi and Han, Zhao and Wei? Do you believe this?"
“Besides…”
Tian Ju stared straight at Wei Yang and said, "Besides, since the Gaoyue alliance, the princes cannot be synonymous with each other for several months and cannot send troops. Isn't you clear about the reason?"
"Qi Qin cannot agree on the expedition."
"I just ask you, what kind of strategy will the Qi people give up Linzi and station troops between Han and Wei?"
The fundamental difference between Qi and Qin lies in the key direction of sending troops.
The Qin State's plan to send troops was that Han Qin, as the main force, attack Nanyang, restore Jianghan, and remove the Mo family's wings, so that it could not pose another threat to the princes in a short period of time.
Qi is not a fool either. Of course, it is clear that Qin's plan is to use Qi as a gun envoy.
The eastern front guard and the western front attack. After the battle, Han Qin was busy swallowing the Han area of Nanyang, and the Qi people were bleeding and sweating. Then when the Mo family recovered, the first one to fight was Qi for revenge.
Qi's plan was to defend the western front, attack the eastern front, Qi, Han, and Qin gathered their main forces on the eastern front, fought hard with the Mo family, fighting to the end, being sneak attacked by the Mo family by Xianyang; the risk of Yangcheng being blown up by the Mo family, defeating Si Shang, destroying the foundation of the Mo family, and driving the Mo family to Chu.
However, Qin is not a fool, and of course they would not agree to this plan.
Now Tian Ju asked Wei Yang, even if Qi gave up Linzi and stationed troops in Han and Wei, what strategy should Qin adopt?
Qi originally disagreed, but Jiaodong had not yet lost Qi, so he did not agree with Qin's strategy.
Now that Jiaodong is lost, if Qin still sticks to its original strategy, there is naturally no need to talk about it.
In desperation, Wei Yang blurted out: "Of course, our strategy is right. The Si Shang Mo family has been in charge for many years, how can they conquer it?"
As soon as he said this, he felt something was wrong. Tian Ju laughed and said, "You all know that Si Shang is difficult to capture, but you have asked Qi people to attack Si Shang on the eastern front before. Isn't this ridiculous?"
"The Qin people knew that Si could not capture it, so they let the Qi people run dry under the fortress on Si, but Qin Han got Nanyang and Jianghan."
"Now Linzi is in danger, but the Qin people are still considering their own interests, but they come to me to talk about the world. The Qin people are not qualified to talk about the world!"
"Don't forget that the Qin people had a good relationship with the Mo family, which led to the dilemma of Wei and Han, and allowed the Mo family to conquer Qi, Wei and other places."
"If you talk about the world, can Qin Jun know the equality, love and synonymity of the Mo family today? Did Qin Jun know that the Mo family's trick is a great harm to the world today?"
"I'm afraid it's not? Qin Jun's important minister Sheng Chuo. If I remember correctly, it was a rebellion against Mo. I was a retainer of Niu Zi in the past and was also a member of Qi. I wouldn't even remember this."
"Why didn't you meet the Qin people talking about the general trend and the world? Today, you want to talk about the general trend and the world. What qualifications do you, the Qin people who had a good relationship with the Mo family in the early years to trap Wei and Han have to talk about the world?"
Wei Yang was not good at these diplomatic rhetorics, so he could only say: "At that time, the nations were in conflict and Qin was trapped in the western border. For the benefit of Qin, he naturally had to build a good Mohist school."
Tian Ju pretended to be surprised and said, "Isn't it a dispute between the nations now? The Qin people can ask for the benefits of Qin, but ask Qi to fulfill the obligations of the princes in the world? What is the reason?"
Wei Yang said anxiously: "This matter can be discussed again."
"If the Qi people can abide by the alliance and give up Linzi, don't act rashly. The emperor can swear with the Duke of Qi."
"If you defeat the Mo family in the future, Qi and Qin will have a good relationship and promise that Qi can seize the land of Wei and Han 600 miles as compensation."
"If Han and Wei do not follow, Qin will attack him from the west."
"If you violate the alliance, ghosts and gods will kill each other!"
Wei Yang was really anxious. According to Qi State's actions, the situation in the world will be completely over.
Before you are ready, you will directly attack Si Shang. There will be more defeats than wins. Even if you win in one battle, you may not be able to win over time.
Now we can only take advantage of Jianghan and Nanyang that has not yet stabilized and completely transformed into the Mo family, and the right way is to first cut off the left wing of the Mo family and compress the power of the Mo family little by little.
If Si Shang cannot conquer, he can use the land of Han and Wei to compensate Qi. Anyway, Wei is weak now, so he will fight if he dares not follow.
Tian Ju snorted coldly and said, "If Qin conquers Qi, when the Qi and Han Guard coalition forces attack Song, the Qin people attacked Danyang and Nanyang with all their might to cover the Korean flanks..."
"Then when the Eastern Front wins, as long as Qi recovers Linzi Jiaodong, he will send troops westward, and Qi will definitely help Qin to seize the Shang Dynasty for 600 miles."
"This can be a swearing. If there is any violation, ghosts and gods will kill each other."
