Chapter 35 The Game between Su Qin and Zhang Yi: Taking the World as a Chess Game

According to "Historical Records", Zhang Yi and Su Qin studied under Guiguzi.Su Qin is ashamed of Zhang Yi's knowledge. However, good grades do not mean good work.When Su Qin went through untold hardships and finally found the inflection point of rising, Zhang Yi was still a poor man. It is said that he once served as a retainer under Yin Zhaoyang, the order of the state of Chu.Once, Zhaoyang held a big banquet to entertain all the ministers, and afterwards a piece of famous jade worn by him disappeared.Everyone in the house suspected that Zhang Yi stole it, and the reason was that "Yi is poor and has nothing to do"——Zhang Yi was poor and cheap, who else could do such a despicable thing?Before Zhaoyang could speak, these people had already captured Zhang Yi, lynched her to extract a confession, and beat her hundreds of times until her skin was torn to pieces and blood flowed all over the floor.Zhang Yi insisted that he did not steal it, so these people had to let him go.

After returning home, Zhang Yi's wife was distressed and angry, and said, "If you didn't go to study and lobby, how could you suffer this crime?" Zhang Yi was dying, lying on the door panel, her lips moved a few times.His wife put her ear close to her, and finally understood what he said. "Look, is my tongue still there?" His wife was angry and funny: "Of course I'm still here." "That's good, that's good." Zhang Yi said, with an innocent smile on her face. As long as the tongue is there, the tool for eating is still there, no big deal.

After such a thing happened, the Zhaoyang Mansion could not go again.Zhang Yi could only lie at home to recover from his injuries, while his wife looked at the rice jars falling from the sky one day, feeling very anxious. One day, an acquaintance came from the state of Zhao and told Zhang Yi good news: "Your younger brother Su Qin has made a fortune and is being used in Zhao. Why don't you go to Handan to join him and let him find you an official position?" Zhang Yi hesitated for a long time.He is not happy to ask him to beg Su Qin.In the end, the stomach determines the head - if you continue to stay in Chu State, you have no other way to survive except begging along the street.In contrast, it might not be a decent way to bow to former classmates.

In this way, Zhang Yi came to Handan. Su Qin's mansion is easy to find. Ask any Handan resident, and they will be very enthusiastic to show Zhang Yi the way. However, finding the Su Mansion does not mean seeing Su Qin.The playful Su Qin who was wearing patched clothes and studying in Guigu back then has disappeared, replaced by an invisible, intangible, reclusive Su Keqing. Zhang Yi handed over his business card at the Su residence, and after waiting for six full days, Su Qin found time to meet him. "Yo, so it's you! Long time no see." Su Qin didn't have any expression on his face, just said something lightly.Even for Zhang San Li Si Wang Er Mazi who lived in the same alley, they must not be so indifferent!

Zhang Yi held back her anger, and just wanted to exchange pleasantries, Su Qin had already walked away surrounded by everyone, but sent a servant boy back and told Zhang Yi: "Stay here tonight, let's have dinner together!" This sentence gave Zhang Yi a little hope.He thought to himself, maybe Su Qin treated him like this on purpose because his family had a big business now and he had to maintain a kind of majesty in front of everyone.Wait until dinner time to talk about the old relationship, recall Guigu's past, and then ask him about work, it should be a matter of course.

Zhang Yi waited in Su Mansion until it was dark before Su Qin came back.The kitchen has already prepared dinner, and the servants laid out the seats like a revolving lantern, laid out the dishes, and served out delicious dishes one after another.Just smelling that smell, Zhang Yi couldn't stop drooling. However, when everything was ready and Su Qin sat down in the hall, Zhang Yi discovered that there was only Su Qin in the hall.Just when he was wondering, an old servant came over, took Zhang Yi to the place where the servants and maids were seated, and arranged a seat for him. Halfway through the meal, Zhang Yi held back her anger and said to the class: "I am here this time to ask you to help me find a job. I don't want to ask too much. Just talk about supporting my family."

Su Qin finished chewing the meat in his mouth, swallowed it, took another big gulp of wine, and said: "If I open my mouth, let alone supporting my family, I can give it to you even if it is glory and wealth. However, with your talent, you will How could I dare to recommend you to the monarch when I got into such a poor situation? If you really have nothing to do, you can come to my kitchen and help the master, so that you can keep fed and clothed, how about it?" Zhang Yi couldn't bear it anymore, pushed away the food in front of her eyes, and walked away. After he left, he didn't stay any longer, instead, he went all the way to the west and went straight to Qin State.

If you want to unite the world and fight against the strong Qin, then I will offer a series of strategies for the Qin country, defeat each of them, and let you achieve nothing. Su Qin, you wait! Having said that, Zhang Yi soon faced a real problem.It was a long journey from Handan to Xianyang, and the money in his pocket was not enough to support him to get out of Zhao country. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if he came to Xianyang by begging all the way, he might not be able to see King Qin Hui in his ragged clothes. When all thoughts were lost, Zhang Yi met a businessman who traveled between Qin and Zhao.The two chatted for a while, and the businessman said in amazement, "You are not an ordinary person, why did you fall like this?"

The more the two talked, the more speculative they became.Next, Zhang Yi's road will be much smoother.The businessman changed his clothes, let him sit in his own carriage, and came to Xianyang together. As the saying goes, snakes have snake paths, and rats have rat paths.Since merchants travel between Qin and Zhao, they are naturally familiar with the situation in Qin.He took out a large sum of money and asked Zhang Yi to give it to the chief guard in the Qin Palace.Through the recommendation of the head of the guard, Zhang Yi successfully met Qin Huiwang. Also under Guiguzi's sect, Zhang Yi's approach is quite different from Su Qin's.He did not start by presenting a high hat, but said to Qin Huiwang: "I heard that, if you don't know what to say, it is unwise; if you know but don't speak, it is disloyal. If you are unwise, you should die, and if you are unfaithful, you should die." Death. The subordinates have limited abilities, but they are still willing to take the risk of being unwise and tell all I know, please condemn me."

Qin Huiwang smiled slightly and said, "Please continue talking!" "I heard that the State of Zhao is preparing to unite with the State of Yan, State of Wei, and South Korea to win over the State of Chu and State of Qi, and form a joint vertical alliance to deal with the State of Qin. After hearing this, I couldn't help laughing. In the current situation, there is insufficient money and food, and the people are timid. In wars, people must supervise the battle with big swords behind them. They are not allowed to retreat, but they still shrink back. The Qin State is strong and has strict rewards and punishments. As long as it is for the country, everyone must die. Heart, go through fire and water, do whatever it takes. Given Zhao's weakness, he dared to take Qin's idea, it is really self-defeating.

"However, caution cannot be overstated. At that time, Bo Zhi led three armies to attack Jinyang, and he was about to win. Zhao used Zhang Meng's plan to instigate Han and Wei to turn against the water. In the end, they defeated the Zhi army and captured Zhi alive. Uncle, Qin State must not take Zhao State's vertical alliance lightly. "If the State of Zhao wants to unite vertically, then the State of Qin must confront each other horizontally. Both military and diplomatic means must be adopted to find a way to divide the alliance. The countries of the alliance must be treated differently, some must be attacked, some must be drawn, and some must be Intimidation, some have to give certain benefits. In this case, Zhao Guo will not be able to cooperate if he wants to, but Qin State can seize the loopholes, gradually encroach on the land of the world, and complete the hegemony. " The god of luck came suddenly.King Qin Hui talked with Zhang Yi all day, and appointed Zhang Yi as a guest minister, and stayed in the court as a staff officer. A few days after Zhang Yi became a guest minister, the businessman who had helped him came to say goodbye to him.Zhang Yi took his hand and said, "It's all because of your help that I got such a prominent position today. I want to repay you, but why are you leaving in such a hurry?" Only then did the businessman say to him: "Please don't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank Mr. Su. In fact, Mr. Su has arranged everything for you from the beginning to the end. He knows that your talents are superior to his. You should be inferior to him, that's why you came up with this aggressive strategy to force you to defect to Qin. He also asked me to tell you that from now on, the world will be a game of chess between you and him. Please play this game carefully, Don't be soft." Zhang Yi was dumbfounded when she heard these words, and it took her a long time to sigh: "Judging from this matter alone, Su Qinzhi's talent is already higher than mine. But I have been kept in the dark and didn't realize it. Ashamed, ashamed!" When he went to court the next day, Zhang Yi said to King Hui of Qin, "Qin and Chu jointly attacked Wei. Unite with Chu. In this case, Qin will be isolated, so it is better to send troops to help Wei resist Chu." Qin Huiwang followed Zhang Yi's suggestion, so he took Zhang Yi as his general and led "thousands of soldiers and hundreds of chariots" to rescue Wei, and defeated the Chu army at Xingshan. Wei Guo was temporarily saved. In return for Qin, King Wei Hui ordered to speed up the handover of Hexi land, and the two countries completed the handover at the end of that year. Su Qin, who was far away in Handan, was greatly relieved when he got the news.
