Chapter 88;
Delay strategy
One person's braid is more important than the treasure of Jiuding
A three-inch tongue is stronger than a million soldiers.
"Your Majesty, give the land of Shang six hundred miles to the State of Chu to force the Qi and Chu coalition forces to attack Qin." Zhang Yi said solemnly.
As soon as these words came out, Yingsi was instantly shocked.
"Xiangbang, are you joking? My ears heard it right."
"Back to your Majesty, the thing that makes the heart of Chu country excited now is not the rare treasures, but the land and cities. If you want to make Qi and Chu break their alliance, it is this land of 600 miles of Shangyu." Zhang Yi said firmly.
Yingsi touched his forehead and sighed, "Don't you know that? Once the land of 600 miles from Shangyu is given to Chu, the gate to the south of Qin will be opened. Then Chu will easily send troops to Qin. The whole Qin will be like Being attacked in the front and back is like a thorn in the side."
Shang is 600 miles away, and the land is fertile; as a border, trade flourishes; it was given to Shang Jun by the late king.
The entire Qin State, except for Xianyang, was a piece of fat land in Shangyu.
The State of Chu is located next to Shangyu. It has been feared for a long time and has been dreamed of for a long time.
After that, Yingsi sat in Ganquan Palace all night.
He also said: "When I went to the Chu State, these things were easy to manage. In this disaster, the Qin State relied on the Prime Minister to turn the tide."
For the first time in his life, Ying Si deeply felt the sense of failure and frustration of losing his power and humiliating his country.
"I understand the importance of Shangyu to the Qin State; but it is precisely because of this that it can be given to the Chu State as a delaying measure. Could it be that the king wants to watch Qi Chu send troops to attack Qin, and then the three Jin Dynasties will take the opportunity to follow suit. At that time , Qin is no longer facing five countries attacking Qin, but six countries attacking Qin. The entire army is in Bashu again, and the soldiers and horses heading north to Yiqu cannot be withdrawn. At that time, Qin will face the risk of annihilation. "
Ying Si waved his sleeves and Zhang Yi resigned.
This seemed to be the most frustrating thing Ying Si had ever said in his life.
"Your Majesty, I will immediately send the customs clearance documents and other documents to the prime minister." Yingji said quickly.
No wonder, at the beginning, Jun's father, grandfather and others had been fighting to the death with Wei for more than a hundred years, and they must take back the land west of Hexi.
After Ying Si heard this, he was given a warning and his spine went cold. He kept calm, stomped around the hall, thinking back and forth, should I give it or not?
Finally, Ying Si frowned, stopped, and said in a hoarse voice, "I will listen to the Prime Minister's arrangements. I will give the land of 600 miles to the State of Chu."
"When does Xiangbang plan to leave?" Yingji gave Zhang Yi the things used for the mission and some heavy gifts.
The Qin State, the huge Qin State, had not yet taken the initiative to hand over its land and cities to the enemy.
Ying Ji and others quickly came out from behind the screen. Seeing Ying Si's dejected look, they felt heartbroken. Ying Ji hated himself for not being able to share the country's worries.
Zhang Yi, Xiaozhi moved with emotion and reason, and explained the interests and harms to the King of Qin in detail.
"Okay, you can see Xiangbang off for me." After Ying Si gave the instructions, he let them go back to rest.
Zhang Yi knelt down, kowtowed, and promised, "Your Majesty, please rest assured that Zhang Yi will fulfill his mission."
Zhang Yi entered the door with his front foot and chased after him with his back foot.
With tears and blood dripping from his heart, Yingsi said solemnly in a commanding tone: "After this crisis is over and the army returns to the court, Xiangbang will definitely help me regain the land of Shangyu. Otherwise, I will have no face to face the Qin Dynasty. Ancestors.”
Ying Ji is still aware of the greed of the Chu royal family.
"Thank you, general. The Qin State should enter a wartime state, and I will go to the Chu State with my head in my hands. Our Great Qin, with our monarch and ministers working together, will definitely be able to survive this crisis. Please wait patiently for Zhang Yi's good news."
Zhang Yi said confidently, abandoning the previous decadence.
When encountering war or difficulties, Zhang Yi was excited in his heart because his talents could be put to use.
