Controlling mountains and rivers since the Warring States Period

Chapter 172 Su Qin (Part )

"The five kingdoms are allies, what should we do now?"

On the Qin side,

I didn't expect that in order to promote the alliance, Wei State was willing to give so many benefits.

please,

This is what it means to be king!

The State of Wei invited princes everywhere to become kings. Was it just scattering the title of king as if it were weed seeds?
When the King of Qin heard about this, he could hardly hold back.

Zhang Yi remained calm.

He advised the King of Qin, "It is an absolute failure for Wei to ask Zhongshan to claim the throne together with Wei."

"Qi will not be happy."

Although Zhongshan has restored its country and successfully converted its people into the Chinese through its enthusiasm for conversion, the princes still secretly despise Zhongshan.

not to mention,
The other four countries became kings because they had sufficient national strength.

Zhongshan is just a second-rate country, and its national strength is comparable to that of Song. On what basis can it claim to be king?

"Moreover, Qi is bordered by the sea to the east, Chu to the south, and Yan to the north, which has existed since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty. Although it is not very powerful, it has a solid foundation and it is not easy to invade. Moreover, Su Qin is lobbying in Qi to ease the situation for Yan."

"If Qi wants to expand, it must attack Zhongshan."

"How could the King of Qi tolerate Zhongshan being on equal footing with him and joining forces with the four kingdoms to block his path to the west?"

The King of Qin said, "But the alliance of the five countries has already made Qi unable to move. It shouldn't be able to destroy the strategy of the alliance, right?"

Zhang Yi then began to think.

After hearing that Qi had launched an attack and failed in its attempt to force Zhongshan to give up its title, he took the initiative to propose to the King of Qin, "Please, Your Majesty, dismiss me from my position!"

The King of Qin was very surprised. "Why do you say that suddenly?"

"I have already appointed you as Prime Minister. Is there any disagreement between you and me, so that you want to leave me?"

Zhang Yi said with emotion, "Your Majesty has treated me very well!"

"I am not good at handling state affairs and military affairs. I have only achieved some success by relying on this era of great contention, stirring up trouble, and relying on powerful countries."

"Now that Qin is in danger, I should repay it with my loyalty as a patriot!"

Zhang Yi asked for a spy.

Let the King of Qin drive me out of Qin,

Then he went to the State of Wei and tried to sow discord among the five allied states from within.

snort!
Su Qin could alienate Qi and other princes and secretly help Yan.

Doesn’t Zhang Yi know how to do it?
The King of Qin was very moved, and then agreed to his request without hesitation.

In national affairs,

The monarchs of Qin State became more rational with each generation.

Even if the King of Qin knew,
Once exposed, Zhang Yi would most likely be executed by the King of Wei, but those who must be sacrificed must be sacrificed.

So soon after,
Zhang Yi was expelled by the King of Qin for "disobedience" and returned to Anyi, his hometown in Wei State.

The King of Wei specially received him.

Wei Hou Ji, who was underground, was very happy about this.

He wiped his tears and said, "Gongsun Yan is back, Zhang Yi is back too, these talents who left the country have all returned to Wei. Is the fate of Wei about to usher in a turning point?"

As long as the ancestral temple can be continued and his descendants continue to worship him, Wei Hou Ji can enjoy a longer life.

Then he would still rather eat cold rice.

"You damned evildoer, you must attract these talents and not let them slip away again!"

Marquis Wei Ji was in the underworld and sent instructions to his descendants.

The King and Prime Minister of Qin, who were not keeping an eye on what was going on in the world of the living, were also puzzled. They didn't know why Ying Si and Zhang Yi, who had always had a harmonious relationship, suddenly turned against each other.

Fortunately,

King Ying of Wei was not a late bloomer, he was smart.

He summoned Zhang Yi just to make fun of him.

The King of Wei severely ridiculed the "down-and-out" Zhang Yi, saying that he was thrown away after being used by the King of Qin, just like the toilet tokens in the toilet.

Zhang Yi knelt below, his expression filled with the helplessness and sadness of being unemployed in middle age.

then,

His performance really pleased the King of Wei, who decided to reward him with the status of a guest official.

Faced with such a situation,

Ji Wu, who is always straightforward, commented:
"Tsk, if the King of Wei continues to behave like this, I'm afraid he won't even be able to protect the vanity of his descendants!"

What are the characteristics of a strategist?
They start by saying "you are going to die" to scare people, and then use their analysis of the situation to stir up tension and anxiety in people, so as to take advantage of the opportunity to commit fraud!
Zhang Yi is a leader in this industry.
How can one kneel on the ground and only know how to "reflect" and "be grateful"?

Even Ji Wu could see it.

There must be something fishy going on here!
Shang Yang said, "This is using spies to break up the alliance!"

Duke Xiao of Qin shook his head and sighed, "Oh my, King Ying of Wei actually took the bait..."

There is no need to destroy the nest.
You'll bite when you see the hook, right?

Only the honest Gui Xi was there to care about Wei Hou Ji.

"Wu Hou? Wei Wu Hou!"

"Don't faint!"

"Your life span hasn't even ended yet!"

He Bo, who was reuniting with Zhuang Zhou in the world of the living after a long separation, sensed this scene and immediately clapped his thighs and laughed.

Zhuang Zhou was painting a gourd he had just picked when he saw the ghost suddenly fall ill again. He turned his back calmly and continued with his own work.

"Don't worry about him!"

He also said to his son who came over after hearing the noise, "Don't try to understand this guy!"

Thinking about the behavioral logic of ghosts and gods,

It will pollute the brains of mortals!
Zhuang Zhou's son said "Oh" and left without hesitation.

……

After Zhang Yi gained a firm foothold in Wei, he began to advise the King of Wei, hoping to persuade him to go to the court to meet the King of Qin as a subject.

Although the King of Wei was old and confused, he did not really suffer from Alzheimer's disease.

He immediately rejected Zhang Yi's proposal and questioned whether he was still a Wei citizen!

"Qin no longer wants you. Do you still want to betray your homeland and leave yourself without a place to stand?"

Zhang Yi confessed his guilt in fear and never said such words again.

In private,

The King of Qin was very moved when he heard that Zhang Yi was scolded so badly that he privately sent people to send a lot of treasures to comfort him, saying, "There is no rush to alienate him. Take care of yourself. I am still in Qin waiting for you to come back and assist me!"

Zhang Yi felt very ashamed and wanted to repay the King of Qin for his kindness.

The ghosts and gods heard about this and came to visit.

The first time he saw Zhang Yi, He Bo asked him sincerely, "When do you plan to die?"

His eyes were clear, and he was really considering collecting Zhang Yi's body.

Zhang Yi was so angry that he jumped up and down, "Pah pah pah!"

"I will not die in Wei!"

"Get back into the river!"

It was a pity for He Bo that he couldn't help looking back when Run left.

"When you are about to kill yourself, you must tell me!"

"Be careful, don't let anyone pull out your tongue!"

There are too many scams.
It takes a truly stimulating person to treat him like this!
Zhang Yi laughed and said, "So far, I have only accepted official positions in Qin and Wei."

"If anyone really has to suffer the pain of having his tongue pulled out, it should be Su Qin!"

That guy was given the seals of the six nations by advocating the alliance.

Later, when his fellow disciples were beaten by the victims of fraud together, Su Qin was beaten three times as hard as he was!
When it comes to this guy,

He Bo immediately patted his thigh, thinking back to the news he had heard after going through so much trouble to get to the State of Yan.

So before leaving, he added another sentence to share this interesting gossip with Zhang Yi.

"Thanks to Su Qin, the King of Yan now has a new brother!"

Zhang Yi didn't realize the deeper meaning of this, and when he wanted to ask the ghosts and gods, He Bo had already disappeared.

He stroked his beard and thought.
In the end, he was so scared that he pulled out several strands of his beard, and he grimaced in pain.

wrong!

Queen Mother Yan is already over forty years old!
My grandchildren are still very lively.

Can it also bring in more imports to the State of Yan?

Su Qin is really amazing!
in this aspect,

I can never compare to him!
