One morning, in the quiet and comfortable courtyard, Ye Shang was sitting on a wicker chair and enjoying tea leisurely.

But at this time, Black and White Xuanjian came over and said: "I just received the news that Kaifangdi has left Xinzheng and will go to the capital of Zhao State to participate in the Five Kingdoms Conference in place of King Han."

Ye Zhang's face remained calm when he heard this. This incident was also expected by him. Zhang Kai was experienced and calm and was the most suitable candidate.

Xuan Jian continued: "The Five Kingdoms' alliance this time is so powerful that it can mobilize at least 600,000 or even 700,000 troops. I wonder if Qin can resist it?"

Ye Zhang replied: "In terms of strength, the five countries of Zhao, Chu, Yan, Wei, and Han combined are indeed stronger than Qin, but even so, the chances of winning are not too great."

"Why?"

Xuan Jian asked slightly puzzled.

Ye Zhang put down the cup in his hand and continued: "Although the five kingdoms united this time to destroy Qin in name, everyone knows that Qin's strong soldiers and horses and the natural danger of Hangu are not so easy to deal with.

The reason why we send troops is to find opportunities to gain some benefits, rather than to fight to the death with Qin. Without the determination and courage to fight to the death, how can we defeat the tigers and wolves of the Qin army?"

To put it simply, no matter whether it is a big country like Zhao Chu or a small country like Yan and Han, they have no intention of really risking their own capital to fight the Qin army.

The princes were too selfish. While they wanted to occupy Qin's land, they were also worried about their allies stabbing each other in the back. There was no trust between them at all.

Perhaps these people did not expect to completely defeat the Qin State at all, but just wanted to scare the other party and gain more time and benefits for themselves.

Xuan Jian nodded when he heard this, and then continued: "It's just that the unity of the five countries is still a little bit short. If Qi can also participate, the chance of winning will probably be much greater."

You must know that in today's world situation, apart from Qin, the three strongest countries are Qi, Chu and Zhao.

Among them, Zhao State has a strong army, Chu State has vast territory, and Qi State has a relatively strong economy and culture. If Qi State also participates, it will definitely be a big help.

After hearing this, Ye Zhang replied: "Since adopting the strategy of making distant friends and attacking close friends, the relationship between Qin and Qi has always been good, and there have been many marriages between them.

Moreover, the two countries are far apart in the east and west. Even if they really defeat Qin, it will be difficult to reach out and occupy the land in the east.

If you win, you won't get much benefit, but if you lose, you will lose troops and generals, and you will probably be retaliated by Qin. This deal is really not worth it.

In this case, if Qi chooses to stay out of the matter and not participate in the alliance, it can continue to maintain its relationship with Qin and protect its own family wealth."

Hearing this, Xuan Jian raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "The Qin State has the ambition to annex the world, and sooner or later it will take action against the Qi State. Living in a corner will eventually make the wrong move."

Ye Zhang looked at the other party and said: "Everyone understands the truth, but it is not the truth that determines the facts, but the interests. If Qin wins this battle, Qi will not be blamed for not participating in the war."

Just imagine, even if the five countries unite and win by chance this time, their vitality will definitely be severely damaged. By then, all of them will be able to reap the benefits.

And if they lose, the Seven Kingdoms can take the opportunity to ascend to power and become the most powerful among the six Shandong Kingdoms. Maybe they can also take the opportunity to annex the Yan Kingdom in the north. No matter what the outcome is, it will only be a profitable business."

Black and white Xuanjian shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry, the six countries can still contain Qin. If one or two countries are destroyed, even if they unite again, they may not be able to compete with Qin."

Ye Zhang chuckled and said: "Although Qin is the biggest threat to the six countries, the other countries are not the same, and there are many who are hostile to each other.

For example, the states of Qi and Yan are feuding, and the states of Zhao and Wei are not in harmony. They compete with each other and have a lot of fun.

Without a true united front, internal fighting is inevitable. After all, in essence, the seven countries are mutually hostile.

If a country is severely damaged, the other countries will never miss the opportunity to add insult to injury and will divide it up without hesitation as soon as possible.

Under such circumstances, who can really make up his mind to resist Qin with all his strength?"

Hearing these words, Xuan Jian couldn't help but fell silent. He also knew that it was precisely because of the inability to work together that the Qin State was not afraid of the six countries and achieved the power of one country to swallow up the world.

However, no matter who wins or loses, it has nothing to do with him. As a wage earner who signed a contract, he only needs to complete the tasks assigned by his boss.

Then he asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

Ye Zhang smiled and said, "Of course I'm going to the theater. Such big scenes can't be seen all the time. It's just a pity that Han Fei is a talented person. If he was born in Qin, his future would be limitless.

It's a pity that many things are not his choice. For him, being a Korean prince is not an honor, but a shackle..."

A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone in the quicksand conference room had solemn expressions on their faces.

Zhang Liang said: "In ten days, the money coupons were over-issued again, 50% more than expected, and prices in Xinzheng have tripled. Dozens of civil and military officials have been involved, and even the royal family...

…”

After the words fell, Han Fei couldn't help clenching his fists and letting out a long sigh, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Things like money bills are really a double-edged sword. If used well, it will benefit the country and the people. If used poorly, it will lead to disasters.

Once the system is formed, you can use some paper to get a large amount of real money from the people at will, which is faster than robbing money.

Driven by huge profits, how could those greedy officials hold back? In just over two months, it has already become like this.

Not to mention defeating the Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, it would be a blessing to be able to stabilize and not completely collapse.

At this time, Wei Zhuang, who had been silent all this time, said: "Night is the main puller. Without them opening the door, others would not dare to be so blatant."

"Brother Wei Zhuang means to take action against Ye Mu?"

Han Fei said.

Wei Zhuang said expressionlessly: "This is your last chance. Don't forget that there are less than twenty days left in your bet with Ye Chang."

Hearing this, Han Fei's expression changed, and then a flash of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said: "Okay, now there is no other choice.

Make a plan first. In three days, his father will host a banquet to entertain the ministers. After the banquet, Ji Wuye will go to Que Pavilion to enjoy himself as usual.
