"Only to destroy Qin?"

"Only destroy Qin!"

"Only destroy Qin."

Three whispers were blurted out by Shen Buyu, but each one had a completely different meaning hidden in it.

With the shock and solemnity remaining on his face, Shen Buyu pretended to be calm and raised a bottle of wine in front of him.

After letting his heart gradually calm down, Shen Buyu began to think about the deafening words that had just sounded in his ears.

Although the solution proposed by Gongsun Yang was inevitably shocking, after some calculations, Shen Buhai had to admit that this was indeed the most convenient way to completely resolve Wei's predicament.

Since the current dilemma of the Wei State is that it is located in a place with four wars, then this dilemma will naturally be solved by choosing a prince in the surrounding area to destroy it and completely adding its territory to the territory of the Wei State.

Looking at the princes surrounding the Wei State today, the Zhao State in the north is from the same lineage as the Wei State and are allies, so naturally they cannot easily start a war;

The Chu State in the south has a vast territory and a large population. It cannot be easily defeated in a short time, so it is naturally not a suitable target;

The only remaining countries are the Qi State, which is located on the coast of the East China Sea and is the richest in the world, and the Qin State, which dominates the Guanzhong.

Compared with the Qi State, which is closely watched by all the countries in the world, it is undoubtedly a more appropriate choice to overthrow the Qin State, which has always been far away from the attention of the princes.

This is why Shen Buhai gradually calmed down after experiencing the initial surprise after Gongsun Yang proposed destroying Qin.

It’s just that it’s probably not that easy for Wei to overthrow Qin now, right?

Just when Shen Buhai, who was stroking and thinking about the wine jug in his hand, was about to express his concerns, Gongsun Yang, who had been paying attention to him across from him, spoke first.

"Brother Shen's concerns are also in Yang Yang's mind."

Looking confidently at Shen Buyu, Gongsun Yang stretched out two fingers and said, "If Wei wants to overthrow Qin, it must do two things."

"First, send envoys to use coercion, inducement and other methods to make them express support or adopt neutrality towards Wei's overthrow of Qin;"

"Second, it enhances the national power of Wei so that Wei has the ability to overthrow Qin and resist the joint attacks of other princes."

After hearing these two things from Gongsun Yang, Shen Buhai couldn't help but thoughts quickly flowing through his mind.

"If you send envoys to make friends with the princes, if your Majesty can not begrudge beauties, money and even land, it will not be difficult to win over some princes to support Wei and overthrow Qin."

"only……"

There was a hint of hesitation in his tone, and Shen Buyu raised his head and looked at Gongsun Yang in front of him, with a questioning look flashing through his eyes.

"It's just that the growth of national power cannot be achieved with just money. I wonder if Brother Yang has any good ideas in mind?"

After Gongsun Yang heard Shen Buhai's question, he did not give an answer, but looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Brother Shen, have you forgotten how the Wei State today stands out from the Three Jin Dynasties and becomes the leading powerful country in the world today?"

Shen Buhe was still doubtful at first, but when Gongsun Yang's rhetorical question came out, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.

"Brother Yang, what you said is..."

"political reform!"

"It was the reform that Li Kui, the former Prime Minister of Wei, carried out in Wei State with the support of Marquis Wen of Wei."

As he spoke, Gongsun Yang looked straight at Shen Buhai in front of him, and a strong look of excitement flashed through his eyes.

"In today's world, only reform can strengthen the country."

"In the past, Wei State had Li Kui's reforms, and it was then that it became dominant in the world; in the past, Chu State had Wu Qi's reforms, and it was only then that it was able to intimidate the princes."

"Today, if Wei wants to rapidly increase its national power again, apart from implementing the second reform, Yang Yang really can't think of any other way."

Gongsun Yang's powerful declaration of reform made Shen Buhe, who was also a Legalist, very emotional.

"color!"

At this moment, Shen Buyu entrusted his life and fortune to the person in front of him, helping him to achieve a reform achievement that was no less than that of the former Wei Prime Minister Li Kui.

However, after a while, when his mind gradually calmed down, Shen Buhai let go of this sudden impulse and brought himself back to reality.

I am no more than an official or a scholar, and the Gongsun Martingale in front of me is not a high-ranking official, so I can't talk about helping the Wei State to reform and become stronger.

However, although the agitation in his heart gradually calmed down, the seeds of reform had been quietly planted in Shen Buhao's heart.

After being silent for a long time, Shen Buhai still asked Gongsun Yang with a hint of curiosity: "The reforms of the former Wei Prime Minister Li Kui and Chu Ling Yin and Wu Qi often had different emphasis."

"If Brother Martingale is lucky enough to govern Wei in the future and implement the second reform in Wei, where will he start from?"

Faced with the question asked by Shen Buye, Gongsun Yang thought about it for a while, and then listened to him speak in a deep voice.

"Brother Shen also knows that Yang Yang has been staying in the palace of my uncle and prime minister for several years since he came to Wei."

"It seems that thanks to the importance of the Prime Minister, he often took out some government affairs memorials to discuss and exchange with Yang Yang, and Yang Yang also had a certain understanding of the state affairs of Wei."

"Although Wei is still the world's leading power, it still has many shortcomings. Yang Yang believes that three of them need to be resolved urgently."

A solemn expression appeared on his face. Gongsun Yang and Shen Buhu's eyes were connected, and then he stretched out his first finger, "This first point is the ineffective implementation of the decree."

"The land of Wei almost spans the Central Plains, from Hexi in the west to Weidong in the east, and the distance is more than thousands of miles."

“It is already very difficult for such a long-span government order to be communicated to various places, let alone for local governments to implement it effectively.”

After finishing the first question, Gongsun Yang paused for a moment, then slowly extended his second finger, "The second problem is that talents cannot be employed."

"In the past, Marquis Wen of Wei treated virtuous officials with respect and respected talents. The existence of the Xihe School made scholars from all over the world come to Wei one after another."

"After that, Wu Hou became more and more arrogant, often appointing talents based on their birthplace, and eventually a great talent had to leave Wei."

"As for the third item, although Wei Wu's soldiers are strong, they cannot last long." As he spoke, Gongsun Yang stretched out his third finger.

"Wei Wuzu was founded by Wu Qi, the former governor of Xihe County. In the past few decades, it has dominated the world and can be said to be the most powerful army in the world."

"This time the Wei State has won consecutive victories in Hexi, and the powerful combat power of Wei's soldiers cannot be ignored. The 60,000 Wei soldiers defeated Qin's 100,000 troops at the foot of Shaoliang City, which is clear evidence."

"It's just that the expenditure of Wei soldiers was huge. Not only was it difficult to expand the scale, but it was also difficult to last."

After he finished describing what he thought were the urgent tasks that the Wei State needed to solve, Gongsun Yang suddenly looked at Shen Buhai in front of him with a more solemn look.

"If Martingale is lucky enough to rule Wei in the future, he will first resolve these three matters, and then slowly and comprehensively launch Wei's second reform."

"I wonder if Brother Shen will be willing to lend a helping hand to Yang Yang?"

Facing Gongsun Yang's inquiry, Shen Buye showed some determination on his face after some thought.

"If such a day comes, Shen Buhu should follow him."
