505. Chapter 505 Don't Get Played Out
Zhang Yi emphasized: "What's even more terrifying is that because of the isolation of Qin, the princes of the East relied on the support of the Union Alliance to dare to invade Qin at will. At that time, Qin would face the second defeat of Mianchi. If it continues for a long time, this tragic situation may be repeated until Qin is weakened to a small country located in the western frontier."
Ying Si had never heard that the strategy of the six Eastern countries' alliance would lead to Qin's situation in such a passive situation. He showed a very surprised expression on his face, and he began to gradually admit the possible consequences of the passiveness pointed out by Zhang Yi.
Qin Jun Ying Si was not completely unaware of Hezong Lianheng's proposal. At first, he heard a master surnamed Xu from Wei mentioned the new strategy of Hezong Lianheng. He specifically mentioned that this was Guiguzi's shocking theory. Guiguzi's two apprentices, Sun Bin and Pang Juan, had no one in the world's reputation, so Ying Si became interested.
He followed the advice of the masters and specially sent Gao Sheng, the head of the Western Tu Mo family, to visit Guiguzi in Wei, intending to bring Guiguzi to Qin, or use it for Qin, or to put it on the shelf to prevent future troubles.
However, Guiguzi did not catch it in the end, but only got a little apprentice Su Qin. He had a very shallow relationship with Ying Si. Because of his personality, the two of them had almost no deep conversation. Therefore, Ying Si did not have an in-depth understanding of the high theory of He Zong Lian Heng. Today, he could not help but be shocked by Zhang Yi's incisive and in-depth discussion.
Ying Si thought: "No wonder the master surnamed Xu talked about Guiguzi's strategy of joining the border and joining the border and joining the border and joining the border and believed that the strategy of joining the border of the Qin State was not the alliance of the border and joining the border of the six Eastern countries!"
Ying Si looked at Zhang Yi and responded: "I heard Prime Minister Zhang's deep conversation and suddenly realized, like a spring breeze. However, it is difficult to relieve the thirst in the distance. I wonder if this strategy of the alliance has any connection with the current situation in Mianchi, and whether it can relieve the danger of the Qin army in Mianchi."
Zhang Yi smiled and thought to himself: "Qin Jun Ying Si said that he had learned the strategy of Hezong Lianheng in depth, but in fact he still knew nothing but the basics. If he thought about it himself, he would not have asked such a question."
Zhang Yi paused, and he replied solemnly: "Weichen believes that the key to resolving the siege of Mianchi is between the two sides."
Ying Si widened his eyes and said "Oh" and said that he was really puzzled. Zhang Yi continued, "Please think about it more carefully. The reason why Su Qin was able to trap the Qin army was because the strategy of the fusion and throne was properly used to combine the military forces of the six countries to fight against Qin? Then, if the six countries can combine, why can't Qin be able to join forces? Make peace with any of the six countries alone and make good friends with any of the six countries. In that case, the alliance between the fusion and throne will naturally appear. Can the Qin army get a chance to breathe?"
When Ying Si heard this, he thought it made sense. He said, "It seems that the one who can break the Su-Qin alliance is the strategy of the alliance."
However, Ying Si still didn't think of the operability. He then asked: "So according to what Prime Minister Zhang saw, how should we use Lianheng's strategy?"
Zhang Yi looked at Ying Si, but stopped talking. He shook his head and said to himself: "Oh, although Lianheng's strategy is good, it is also a very expensive thing to Qin."
Ying Si heard Zhang Yi's words and felt Zhang Yi's hesitation, but Ying Si couldn't afford it. He said to Zhang Yi: "No matter what the price is, as long as it can be broken by Lian Heng, I am willing to accept it. I hope Prime Minister Zhang will not hide it from me, and I will speak everything, and tell you all one by one."
Zhang Yi raised his head and looked at Ying Si, saying clearly: "If the emperor is determined to implement the strategy of alliance, I, Zhang Yi, will personally implement and promote it for the emperor. What the ministers need is a lot of gold, silk, wealth, beauty and show off, these are necessary things to make friends with the kings of the six countries and powerful ministers."
A trace of disdain floated across Ying Si's face and said, "I am not willing to cherish these things. As long as I can ensure that my Qin State is not bullied by the six countries, why do I care about these things?"
Zhang Yi thought for a while and continued, "Then the ministers will be more confident to open up a road for the king." He then changed his mind and said, "However, if the situation requires it in the future, Qin may have to temporarily cede some territory in order to seek a larger territory in the future. The so-called retreat is advancement. The ministers do not know whether the king can accept the temporary cemetery for peace."
Ying Si was very reluctant when he heard that he wanted to cede the land. He gritted his teeth and couldn't make up his mind. He thought to himself: "My father left me such a prosperous Qin State. Since I ascended the throne, the land of Qin State has been expanding day by day. It will not be given up little by little from now on."
What a country values the most is land. Land is a long-term solution, a dependence for nourishing the people, and an endless treasure left to its descendants. How can it be given to people just by saying that it is given to people?
Zhang Yi saw the unhappiness in Ying Si's heart, and he persuaded: "Your Highness cannot care about temporary gains and losses, but should consider the problem from the long-term situation of Lianheng breaking Hezong. You just imagine that if Lianheng successfully dismantled the alliance of the six eastern countries, then Qin will attack any country in the east, and other countries will ignore it, or beg for the small profits that Qin has given them. Can Qin get more from the country it attacks?"
Zhang Yi further explained: "As the saying goes, "It is the truth that we lose the east corner and win the sun". For example, if we attack South Korea, give some benefits to South Korea's neighboring countries Wei and Chu, so that we can keep it neutral. Then after we break South Korea, we will get more of what we want from South Korea, which is far greater than the bribes given to Chu and Wei."
Zhang Yi said confidently: "Besides, once we can successfully break through South Korea and occupy a larger territory, wouldn't Qin's strength be stronger? The two Wei and Chu who took advantage of Qin saw a stronger Qin. In order not to offend us, they would not be the next target of Qin's attack, and they would not obediently send back the things they took from Qin?"
Zhang Yi knew that in this generation of increasingly fierce battles, all the kings of all countries were for themselves, and they were not petty and would rather marry someone else than lose a hair. Therefore, Zhang Yi explained it very patiently and meticulously, for fear that Ying Si would not understand.
Ying Si is not a fool either. Of course he heard the mystery. He continued: "In Prime Minister Zhang's opinion, that is also the small profit in front of him, and to seek great profit in the future."
Zhang Yi nodded and thought to himself: "It turns out that the key points of interactions between countries can be summarized with the word "profit". However, it is not difficult to see this truth clearly, but when it is really time to give up small profits, no one is willing to give up the gains in his pocket. Although Qin Jun Ying Si has understood it now, who knows if he will be unable to give up small profits in the future when he implements it in the future?"
When Zhang Yi thought of this, he emphasized again: "It is very rare for the master to see the causal dependence of small and large benefits. As the empress dowagers see, Qin State should understand this principle than any prince in the East and can use this strategy more easily."
Ying Si frowned and asked, "How can we see that we, Qin, have to understand this small and big interests better?"
Zhang Yi smiled and replied: "Just because Qin is the most powerful country today, Qin's every move is very eye-catching. To be honest, Qin has become the target of public criticism. Out of the mentality of protecting itself, the princes of the East naturally wanted to seek help from other countries and formed an alliance to fight against Qin. If Qin did not actively adopt the strategy of division and disintegration, they would probably be betrayed the interests of the country without realizing it."
Ying Si was most worried about when he heard Zhang Yi's previous words that Qin was betrayed by other princes. He responded: "I will never tolerate the secret collusion between the six countries and point the finger at our Qin. Qin must be a strong man forever, and cannot be a second-rate country that is just a strong moment."
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "If the strong want to maintain a strong direction, they must take the initiative to attack, divide the whole line, and block the enemy. The strong cannot be optimistic that they can sit idly by and watch the competitors move because they are strong. If that happens, where will the permanent strong people come from? It will soon lose its strength."
Ying Si cheered up and said, "Prime Minister Zhang's words today really make me feel like I have seen the sunshine in the fog. I have only understood the mystery of unity and unity since today. I really don't hear the words of experts, just like watching the sky in a well, with a narrow vision."
He resolutely said: "Prime Minister Zhang will concentrate on seeking the benefits of Lianheng in the future. Our monarch and ministers are united in order to fight against Su Qin's Hezong. If I don't believe it, we will not be able to break the mere Alliance of Lianheng."
After hearing Ying Si's words of determination, Zhang Yi was very pleased. He felt that although Ying Si was stubborn and self-righteous, he was a determined monarch. As long as it was something he believed, he would advance without hesitation.
Zhang Yi thought: "I came to Qin State with the goal of implementing a strategy of unity to achieve a high position below one person and above ten thousand people, and to command the world. Only Qin Jun Ying Si can give him this position. It seems that he is coming to the right time. When he encountered the Qin army's failure in Mianchi, he gave him a good opportunity to persuade Ying Si."
