Chapter 48 In the fourth quarter, the new strategy of accumulating feathers and boats

Back in Xianyang, Zhang Yi ordered Ying Hua to send the special envoy of Chu State to the post house, and then she drove into the palace by herself. As soon as Zhang Yi finished his envoy to the state of Chu, King Qin Hui praised: "Using time to abolish the enemy and causing chaos in the state of Chu in one fell swoop, Zhang Qing couldn't have accomplished such a great feat without Zhang Qing's chicness!" He suddenly laughed and said: " It's just that the agreement to return Fangling is a bit tricky." Qin Huiwang naturally knew that it was impossible for Zhang Yi to truly return Fangling to Chu State, but he always felt that doing so was a bit unspeakable.The people of Qin are brave and dignified without being ostentatious. They have always advocated the contest of strength, despised the deceitful rivalry of the six Shandong countries, and have always been frank and open in their diplomatic relations. Especially in the era of Qin Mugong and Bailixi, Qin's kingly diplomatic relations were well-known; The two generations of Xian Gong and Qin Xiaogong were blocked by Shandong for a long time, but as long as there are diplomatic relations, Qin has always kept its promises.In other words, the government and the public of the Qin State hated the word "deception".For the first time in the history of Qin State, Shang Yang attacked the old Qin people's "royalty and diplomatic relations" for the first time, that is, during the battle to recover Hexi, he captured the commander-in-chief of the Wei State, Prince An, in the name of "holding a banquet to discuss peace"!At that time, the six kingdoms of Shandong scolded Shang Yang as a "little man who betrayed righteousness", and the old Qin people actually felt that it was a bit unrighteous.But Lord Shang said: "Great benevolence is not benevolent. If you stick to small benevolence and righteousness, and ignore the interests of the country, you are really a villain!" Since then, great changes have taken place in the ruling and opposition parties of Qin State, and the pedantic kingly tradition has almost been forgotten by people.Even so, Zhang Yi's approach was beyond Qin Huiwang's expectations.He admired Zhang Yi's extraordinary talent, that he was able to tear a gap in He Zong within ten days, which greatly exceeded his expectations.However, inducing King Huai of Chu to withdraw from Hezong under the pretext of "returning Fangling", it was obviously a deception. King Qin Hui always felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't blame Zhang Yi.

"Although my king is hidden behind the scenes, this matter can only be handled by Zhang Yi." Zhang Yi said with a faint smile: "If my king doesn't understand the six words 'everything is used', Lian Heng is empty talk. " "Ying Si is not Song Xianggong, he doesn't have such stupid benevolence and morality, it's just..." "The rise of Qin, the union of the six kingdoms, Qin and Shandong are at the critical point of life and death." Zhang Yi clarified the general situation with one sentence, and his face became solemn: "At this time of life and death, the winner is a prince, and the loser is a bandit. How can you be naked and cold?" Hey! If there is even a little pedantry, the strategy of Lianheng will be greatly reduced. In the past, Duke Xiang of Song Dynasty was defeated and died without attacking the soldiers of Bandu. Throughout the ages, there have been countless sages and heroes who have deceived the enemy. How can they cover up their brilliance with the word deceit? There are also countless people who abide by the king's morality and righteousness. How can the word "honesty" reduce their ugly and funny What? Kuang Qin is a country with the rule of law and shoulders the great task of unifying the world. If he has a little compassion for a powerful enemy and asks himself to gain fame, his strength will collapse, and his great career will go to the east. In Bandang, if you can't use everything with confidence, then the way of kingship will start, and Qin's vigor will be greatly reduced! I hope my king will think deeply about the future troubles."

King Qin Hui's heart was pounding when he heard it, and he stood up solemnly and bowed: "Ying Si would like to be taught." "My king's heart is firm, and I've made up my mind." Zhang Yi cupped her hands in salute: "Special envoy of Chu State, my king just won't see you." "Okay! That's it." In the next few days, the envoys from the state of Chu asked to see Zhang Yi three times. The prime minister's governor, Shi, either said that the prime minister had gone to the palace, or that the prime minister had gone out of Xianyang for an inspection. He had no choice but to ask to see the king of Qin, but the servant said that the king of Qin had gone hunting, and it would take ten days to come. back.The envoy of Chu had nothing to do, and he didn't care about the dignity of the minister, so he had to wait at the gate of the prime minister's mansion day and night.

At the third watch of the day, just as Zhang Yi’s chariot and horses were rumbling back, the envoy of Chu stopped the chariot and shouted: “How forgetful is the Prime Minister? The guardsman burst out laughing. Zhang Yi got out of the car and said with a smile: "Why is the special envoy in a hurry? One, my king has not returned from hunting, and the king's seal has not been used. Two, Chu has not fulfilled the contract, how will Fangling be delivered?" The envoy of Chu asked anxiously, "Why didn't the state of Chu fulfill the contract?" Zhang Yi said indifferently: "The king of Chu promised to withdraw from Hezong and cut off diplomatic relations with Qi. Did he withdraw? Did he break off diplomatic relations?"

The envoy of Chu blushed and said, "The King of Chu said: That's after the delivery of Fangling." Zhang Yi said coldly: "The covenant is made by both parties, how can we only rely on the King of Chu's words? Go back and ask, if Chu has withdrawn from Hezong and severed diplomatic relations with Qi, I will naturally hand over the land of Fangling." The envoy of Chu was stunned for a moment, but he had nothing to say.Zhang Yi flicked her sleeves and went away. In desperation, the envoy of Chu waited for more than ten days, always wanting to see the king of Qin to clarify the matter, but he couldn't see him no matter what.The envoy of Chu had no choice but to wait in front of the prime minister's mansion again, and finally waited for Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi asked him with a smile, "Come back so soon? Do you think Chu has withdrawn from Hezong and severed ties with Qi? The envoy of Chu stammered: "The prime minister is big, it's a big mistake. I didn't, I didn't go back to Yingdu!" Zhang Yi laughed loudly: "That is to say, the state of Chu doesn't plan to want Fangling. That's fine, I don't either. I don’t have so much land to give away.” The envoy of Chu shouted with a dark face in a daze: “You, you are the prime minister, you can’t count your words?” Zhang Yi laughed teasingly: “Mi Huai is still the king, and he doesn’t do anything. Counting, how do I do the counting?" The envoy of Chu continued to stir up trouble, but Zhang Yi flicked his sleeves and left again.

The desperate Chu envoy had no choice but to leave Xianyang at night and head south to Yingdu. As soon as the envoy of Chu left, Ying Hua came to report: Yingdu Trading Co., Ltd. Feige News, Su Qin has arrived in Chu State, so that King Huai of Chu almost went back again, and vowed to fight Qin State if he could not get Fangling back!At the end Ying Hua murmured: "I don't understand. You turn around when you say Mi Huai, and Su Qin turns around when you say Mi Huai. Is it because Mi Huai is confused, or are you two very talkative?" Zhang Yi laughed loudly: " From this point of view, both are indispensable!" Ying Hua worried: "If the state of Chu is really transferred, wouldn't it be a waste of effort, Brother Prime Minister?" Zhang Yi smiled and said: "You, you only know one, not the other. Even Horizontal versus vertical, it is definitely not a one or two rounds to see the difference. This is a long-term contest, from the court to the battlefield, from diplomatic relations to internal affairs, you must do your best and persevere in order to finally defeat the opponent. Li, if you can defeat me with one blow, then you will underestimate that senior brother of mine." Ying Hua said with a smile: "Oh, then I will be old as a pedestrian." Zhang Yi laughed and said: "The little official in Tsing Yi will do it." Whiteheads, hard work, do you regret it?" "You are the one who regrets it." Ying Hua blushed suddenly, smiled brightly, turned and left.

"Hey, you pedestrian, come back." "Is there something wrong?" Ying Hua turned back, the blush still on his cheeks. "Ask me: Is there any princess in the royal family who is waiting to be married?" Zhang Yi paced leisurely. "What are you going to do?" Ying Hua suddenly became alert, rolled his eyes but then said with a teasing smile: "If the prime minister wants to be the son-in-law of the royal family, I can help." "That's good, let me listen to it, how many? Age? Appearance? Artistic ability?" "Hmph, are you buying livestock? I don't know!" Ying Hua stomped away with a dark face.

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud: "Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi, you are so stupid." Then she went into the study. At dusk, Fei Yun came to deliver the meal, but saw Zhang Yi's grown-up figure swaying in the dark study room, and he was actually pacing and meditating silently by himself.Fei Yun lit the gauze lantern, and set the meal on an empty table: "Hey, master and brother, it's time for dinner." Sitting in front of the table in a daze, Zhang Yi suddenly smiled and said, "What did you call me just now?" Fei Yun Holding her mouth shut, she said: "Hey, it's the old man. When the meal is here, I don't even look at him." Zhang Yi patted Fei Yun's head and laughed loudly: "Fei Yun, Fei Yun, I think this is lovely. Otherwise, how could Goujian use Xi Shi Zheng Dan as a sharp sword to destroy the enemy?" Fei Yun said angrily: "Bah, bah, your master is Fucha, I dare not be a Xishi. Don't talk nonsense, let's eat " Zhang Yi picked up the jade book, but pouted at the book case: "Chang Shi, please come, copy the slips and save them, and send them to the King of Qin immediately."

Fei Yun walked over and took a look, and there was a long roll of bamboo slips spread out on the desk, the ink on the slips was dry, obviously it had just been written.Fei Yun hurriedly invited Chang Shi, who was in charge of the secret.After Chang Shi asked Zhang Yi, he rolled up the bamboo slips and went to the writing room. After dinner, Zhang Yi was looking at the map of Chu in his study, when the palace attendant hurried over and summoned Zhang Yi to enter the palace immediately.Zhang Yi didn't delay for a moment, got on the car and entered the palace through the side door of the palace wall diagonally opposite the gate of the mansion.The servant did not lead him to the side hall where he often discusses matters, but led him directly to the big study.Zhang Yi naturally knew that when he got here, it was King Qin Hui who was going to have a secret talk with him alone.

King Qin Hui was eating, but his eyes were fixed on the long bamboo slips in front of him: Seeing Zhang Yi's letter, Qin Huiwang's first feeling was surprise.Lian Heng was already an astonishing strategy, and once he was sent as an envoy, he shook the Chu State. Zhang Yi's mediation talent and Lian Heng's power have already impressed the government and the public of Qin State.Who would have thought that Zhang Yi would be able to draw inferences from one instance and propose a more clear and feasible strategy for Lianheng after a mission?After reading it at a glance, he couldn't take care of the meal, so King Qin Hui immediately sent his servant to summon Zhang Yi.

"My king is so diligent, Qin has a lot to offer." Zhang Yi walked in with a smile and bowed deeply. Qin Huiwang stood up as soon as he pushed the cauldron: "What is hard work? Without a long-term plan, isn't it more busy and chaotic? Come, the prime minister sits here." After saying that, he turned around and ordered: "Tea. "When Zhang Yi sat down, Qin Huiwang took the long scroll on the case, and kept flicking it and praised: "Reading the prime minister's letter is like enlightenment, so happy!" "My king agrees, and Zhang Yi is very pleased." "Accumulate feathers and sink boats, long break and unite vertically. With these eight characters, it really can turn stones into gold!" King Qin Hui couldn't help tapping on the book case, and chanted: "The six kingdoms will not be destroyed, Qin will not be unified, and the vertical and horizontal struggle It will be entangled forever...not seeking one-time destruction, but constantly proposing to divide and rule in various ways, in order to break each one, even if it is repeated many times, it will never stop-! Wan Jun!" "My Wang Huiyan, the minister is a little more worried." King Qin Hui laughed out loud: "Prime Minister, we have to carefully ponder the various methods of the Six Kingdoms tonight. It is difficult to make a strategy, but it is not easy to do." Zhang Yi couldn't help sighing: "If there is a king like this in the six countries, how fortunate is Su Qin!" Qin Huiwang didn't want to be touched, and asked with great interest: "If Su Qin was used by me back then, what would you do?" "Just like Su Qin, the six kingdoms are united." Zhang Yi did not hesitate at all. "Maybe Su Qin proposes the strategy of consolidating and accumulating feathers and sinking the boat?" "Su Qin is a great talent, Zhang Yi has no doubts." "What's the ending?" "I am sure to lose." "How did you see that?" "Time and situation. Su Qin is in Qin, Su Qin wins. Zhang Yi is in Qin, Zhang Yi wins." "Could it be that Su Qin doesn't understand this?" "It's not that Su Qin didn't understand it, but he knew it was impossible and did it." "The words of the prime minister are puzzling." "The benevolent government can never be restored, and Confucius and Mencius sought it all his life. The old system of the six countries cannot be saved, and Su and Qin tried their best to save it. Although things are different, their principles are the same. Confucius and Mencius sought a "benevolence" for the world, and Su and Qin sought a "public" for the world. and also." "How can there be justice in a great struggle?" "Give the six countries a chance to rise again like Qin, and return the world's great struggles to the same starting point. This is called 'public'. But if the six countries don't fight, what can Su Qin do?" King Qin Hui was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a sigh.
