Chapter 31 The third quarter of the main victory

Let's say that Ying Zheng finally met Wei Liao, or I should say, Wei Liao finally met Ying Zheng.The two sat opposite each other, and Ying Zheng asked, "I want to conquer the world. Mr. is good at soldiers, and I would like to teach you." Facing the most powerful king on Earth at that time, Wei Liao looked calm and said leisurely, "There are three victories in a man's army. If you win without armor, the master will win; if you win in formation, the general will win; if you win, the subject will win. " Ying Zheng said, "I would like to hear why the Lord wins."

Wei Liao said, "The so-called master's victory does not need to raise troops, it is the victory over the imperial court. Today, I have a strategy of fighting without bloodshed, so as to make the world submit." Ying Zheng lifted his spirits and said, "Please enlighten me, sir." Wei Liao said, "With the strength of Qin, the feudal lords are like the rulers of prefectures and counties. Ministers are afraid that the feudal lords will join forces, and they will be surprised. This is the reason why Zhi Bo, Fu Chai, and King Min died. May the king not love property, bribe His powerful ministers messed up his plan, but if he lost 300,000 gold, the feudal lords would be exhausted."

Although Wei Liao is famous for his art of war, he himself is a staunch opponent of war.However, he also clearly realized that the tide of history is so mighty that it cannot be stopped by his own strength.The battle of unification is absolutely impossible to avoid, and the six countries will surely perish.Born in troubled times, where will he go?How will he choose between the Six Kingdoms and the Qin Kingdom?Do the Six Kingdoms fight against Qin?This may prolong the lives of the six countries for several years, in other words, extend the lives of the dignitaries of the six countries for several years.But for these extra years of life, a heavy price must be paid-dozens or even hundreds of more battles, and hundreds of thousands or even millions of soldiers (including Qin and the Six Kingdoms) were sacrificed. The lives of countless families who could have survived the disaster were broken and perished.

Wei Liao's trip to Xianyang showed that he finally sided with Qin.And he proposed this strategy to Ying Zheng to corrupt the powerful ministers of the six countries and weaken the fighting spirit of the six countries, so as to speed up the unification process. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, so that the damn war will end as soon as possible and peace will come as soon as possible. After hearing Wei Liao's strategy, Ying Zheng suddenly showed suspicion on his face.Wei Liao's strategy is not new to Ying Zheng.As early as seven years ago, Li Si offered a similar strategy to Ying Zheng (Note: see volume one).Li Si, who was an official at the time, was worshiped as a long history by Ying Zheng precisely because of this strategy, thus ushering in a major turning point in his official career.After Li Si took office as chief historian, he sent counselors to lobby the princes with gold and jade.The princes and celebrities who can give money to them will make a generous legacy; those who refuse to do so will be stabbed with a sharp sword.This strategy has been secretly implemented for many years, and it is almost the top secret of Qin State. Even in Qin State, no more than five people know the inside story.Therefore, Ying Zheng couldn't help but suspect that the reason why Wei Liao proposed a strategy similar to Li Si's was because the heroes had the same views and similarities.Or did Wei Liao come here for the sake of the Six Kingdoms, vaguely aware of Qin's plan, and made a special test this time?

Ying Zheng had doubts, so he pretended to say, "Three hundred thousand gold is not a small amount. The country of the widow is poor, and I may not be able to give it." Wei Liao sneered and said, "The king loves the people but not the money. Now the king loves the money and not the people, what can I say?" Who loves money?You go all over the street and ask, I guarantee that few people are willing to admit it.Ordinary people don't like to bear the name of loving money, let alone the supreme king, the owner of all land and above-mentioned appendages?Ying Zheng smiled awkwardly, thanked him, "I'm sorry for the momentary slip of the tongue, sir."

Wei Liao continued to sneer and said, "How much does your majesty take 300,000 gold?" The Art of War says: "A division of 100,000 will cost a thousand gold a day." Today, 300,000 gold is lost, but it is only a year's fee for a division of 100,000. But it can sit and receive the merits of ten years from millions of teachers. There is nothing in the world, whether it is vertical or horizontal. If it is horizontal, it will be the emperor of Qin, if it is vertical, it will be the king of Chu. The emperor of Qin will be respected by the world, and the king of Chu will be the king. Millions of gold, don't be private. Your Majesty thinks about it!"

At this point, Ying Zheng finally confirmed that Wei Liao really came for the benefit of Qin State, so he clapped his hands and praised: "Mr.'s words are very kind." Yingzheng suddenly visited the Meng Mansion without prior notice.When Meng Wu and Meng Jia heard the report from the servants and learned that Ying Zheng was in their own mansion, they were all shocked and came to see him in a hurry.Yingzheng laughed and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty. The Montessori family has done a great job in receiving Mr. Meng, and I should give you a big reward." Holding Wei Liao's hand again, he said, "There is an old saying that one person wins a country, but the widow does not. Believe me, now that I have Mr., I will realize that what the ancients said is true. With Mr. Assisted, how can I worry about the uncertain world!" Immediately, he wanted to worship Wei Liao as his minister.

Wei Liaogu resigned, "I didn't come to Qin for fame and wealth. The six kingdoms are closed, the four seas are united, and the destiny lies with the king. The minister came from a thousand miles away, and offered a blunt strategy. I only hope that the world will be unified as soon as possible, and there will be less killing. The minister is old and cannot bear to stand in the court, and I hope the king will take pity on him." Seeing that Wei Liao's will was very firm, Ying Zheng could only sigh, and didn't insist anymore.
