Bai Dong's arrival made the late spring in 361 BC no longer calm. ()

The summer of this year was destined to come earlier than before, and the war on the border of Wei and Zhao added some heat to it.

With Bai Dong's "help", the war madman Pang Juan finally had the excuse to launch an aggressive war. After several tentative attacks, the veteran general Long Jia first attacked. His 100,000 troops left the border of the Wei Kingdom and defeated the Zhao army in Ye County. The troops were less than 200 miles away from the Zhao capital Handan. Zhao Chenghou was shocked when he heard the news and quickly mobilized the elite Zhao army in the north to defend Zhongshan to go south to defend, but he never expected that Pang Juan would do anything and actually launched a war to destroy the country. He led 150,000 troops to set out from Zhongdu, attacked Qicheng one by one day and night, and then went down the Zhang River. It took less than seven days to defeat the Zhao army along the way one by one, besieging Handan City.

This war was inexplicable. The one who made a big profit was obviously the Baizi of Qin, but the State of Wei hit Zhao with his head. Zhao Chenghou was so frustrated that he was almost crazy. He could only send envoys to Qi and Chu for help, while visiting the city to boost morale for the defenders.

Of course, Qi and Chu will not send troops easily. Handan is so strong that it is known as "there is ten years of corn to last for a year or two"? Zhao State has been completely exhausted after a year or two, so Qi and Chu State will not pull the Zhao Hou.

The Battle of Guiling in history went through such a process. The people of Zhao struggled for a year, and the people of Qi slowly sent out reinforcements. What's more, the current monarch of Qi is still the "Little Duke Huan of Qi" who was lingering on his sickbed. In the future, the King Wei of Qi who worked hard to control was still cuckolded on his head and willingly took care of Bai Dong's baby.

As for the "grass-headed king" of Chu, he received a secret letter from Qin in advance. He would not send troops even more. The relationship between Chu and Qin has always been relatively strong. If the Chu army had not defeated the Wei-Han alliance in Shangyi during the crisis of Qin, I am afraid that Lao Yinglian would have died for five, six, seven or eight years, and Qin's land would have been lost.

Although Qin and Chu were at odds, there were more sweet days. I remember that Wu Zixu was angry and rebelled against Chu, which led to the Wu army to destroy Chu. If Qin had not sent troops to help restore the country, there might be no such country as Chu. This time, Ying Quliang ascended the throne, and the princes of the world refused to congratulate him, but the King of Chu sent an envoy to send a gift. Although he also proposed to make further acquaintances with Qin and ask Qin to return the land of Shangyu, he was still a good friend. Qin had not many "good friends" in China. Although this friend was sometimes greedy, he was still very generous most of the time.

Inspired by this, Bai Dong gave a lot of the low-priced salt obtained by the remediation of Wei this time to Chu State for free. At the same time, he also took the opportunity to double the territory and influence of the Bai family trading company in Chu State, and sent a secret letter to the King of Chu in the name of Ying Quliang - "Dong knew that the king was anxious and righteous, and was not angry that Wei Ying was arrogant, but Wei Liao had become strong, so he just thought that Xu Tu... If Wei raised troops in the year, no matter whether he attacked Zhao or attacked Qi, he should not act lightly. When the time is right, Qin and Chu should follow Shen Baoxu's feelings, join together to promote the rebel army, and collude with the world...'

Although Bai Dong was soft-hearted, he was not a Bodhisattva. He could understand how difficult it was for Senior Brother Pang Juan. He finally started a war. If Qi Chu joined the war too early, maybe the princes of Wei, Ang and Hui Shi, etc., would persuade Wei Ying again. Although Wei Ying was ambitious, he was not brave enough, and he was extremely weak in his ears. If he was worried that Qi Chu's soldiers would retreat, wouldn't his hard work over the past year be wasted?

Now Qi is very cooperative and refuses to send troops. As long as Chu is held down, some battles will be fought. The ideal state is that Wei will fight with Zhao for one or two years, and then with Qi for one or two years, and then it is best to fight for five, six, seven or eight years. In this way, Wei will be unable to look west, and Qin will develop Xinjiang, assimilate the Rong, and strengthen the national strength. There will be hope.

There is no way, who was so excited that he said the big words in front of Lao Yinglian's sickbed that Qin would defeat the world within fifty years? Now, Lao Qin is no longer a hundred years later. Even if Wei Yang's reforms are available, it will take at least ten years to achieve results. At that time, at most, he could only protect himself under the power of Wei. How could he dominate the world? If Lao Qin wants to rise rapidly, he must make good use of the "barren land" in the eyes of the Chinese countries in the Western Regions; put aside other words, the population of the Western Regions is less than one million, which makes people envious...

Bai Dong did not hide all this plan from Sun Bin. Since he is a brother of a "members", he should be honest and never concealed. This opportunity to bring closer relationships cannot be missed.

After hearing his entire plan, Sun Bin just shook his head: "For the benefit of Qin, you will not hesitate to stir up wars among the countries. You are more cruel than that boy Silde! You, a treacherous boy, Brother Juan, do you know whether you should thank you or resent you? But are you so confident? With the strength of Wei, if both Qi and Chu refuse to send troops to rescue him, I am afraid that Handan will find it difficult to hold on for a year. If Wei destroys Zhao and brings the land of the two countries, Qi and Chu will be in danger. Even if Old Qin controls the Western Regions, it will be difficult to fight against the powerful Wei State."

"The senior brother is a military strategist, but he is not in economic terms. Do you really think that Wei's conquering Zhao State is a good thing?"

Bai Dong smiled and said, "With the military force of Wei, if the timing is right, it can be destroyed. It is one thing to destroy the country, and it is another thing to truly control this country. Wei was just one of the six ministers of Jin. After the three families divided Jin, although after Li Jue reforms, Wu Qi strengthened his army, his vision never came out of a vassal state, and his economic strength was not enough to rule the world! Therefore, it would be better if Wei did not destroy Zhao, and it would only be even more troublesome to destroy Zhao. Not only was Zhao difficult to decide, but he would also be attacked by the princes of the world. What's more, Zhao was so easy to destroy? Did the senior brother forget the past of Zhao Wuxiu Gucheng resisting the Zhi family?"

Bai Dong would not worry that Wei would become stronger after destroying Zhao. In the eyes of later generations, to destroy a country, it is not only necessary to rely on powerful military forces, but to completely erase and assimilate the country from the political, economic, cultural and even spiritual levels. Otherwise, there will be a destruction and arousement, or even the destruction will be destroyed by the former victors.

Is Qin Shihuang strong in later generations strong? With his powerful force, he destroyed the six countries, unified the world, and built the Great Wall... But Qin State was destroyed after it was spread to the second generation. It was not Xiang Yu and Liu Bang who destroyed Qin State, but Qin State's already unstable foundation and the "country" consciousness formed over the six hundred years of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Therefore, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu raised their arms and shouted, and countless Chu people would immediately rebel. An emperor like Qin Shihuang could not truly erase the traces of various countries in just a few decades. What is Wei Ying?

"The harder it is to destroy Zhao State. The longer the war will be delayed. All the people in the world will be misled by you! In your eyes, the people of Qin State are people, and the people of the world should be damaged by the war?"

"This kind of words come from the senior brother, the military genius, make me feel infinitely relieved..."

Bai Dong smiled and said, "Even if I don't affect the wars of various countries, will the world stop fighting? This time I just want to completely weaken the Wei Kingdom, so that I, Lao Qin, have a chance. The only one who can unify the world is Lao Qin! Give me thirty years, and the general trend can be achieved. If it is fifty years, the world may be unified! Isn't this much better than the princes fighting over and over again? So I am not harming the people of the world, but saving the people of the world!"

"Unify the world and save the people of the world?"

Sun Bin looked at Bai Dong calmly and found that the junior brother was not joking, so he let out a sigh: "Fifty years after Duke Zhou returned to power, the world has been in chaos for a long time... When King You Fenghuo played with the princes, the Zhou royal family was even more majestic, the princes conquered and the people in the world suffered for a long time. It was the heavens angry, and the people were resentful! Unifying the world and relieving the people. It was even more my dream of military strategists! But which country in the world can have such strength? Even with such strength, is it worthy of my military strategist assistance? It's difficult! Junior brother. You really have such a big tone. Even Senior Brother Juan has never had the ideal of governing the world and governing the world? But why do you have to determine the poor and weak Qin State, just because you are a Qin person?"

Sun Bin is actually more flirting with fame and fortune than Pang Juan, so Pang Juan is determined to become the number one general in the world, overcoming war gods like Sun Wu, Wu Zixu, and Wu Qi, but he just wants to verify what he has learned in this troubled era. He wrote a book to say that the most comfortable thing for Senior Brother Juan, who can help kiss her. In his opinion, although Bai Dong is talented, he is far from his own senior brother Juan who is able to sweep the sun and the moon, controls the powerful soldiers, and underestimates the princes of the world. Moreover, this kid even did such a kidnapping, which is simply a evil way, not a hero.

But when Sun Bin heard Bai Dong's bold statement, he couldn't help but look at him with admiration. Even his mentor and senior brother Juan had never set such great ambitions and made such amazing words! This kid... Could it be that he had misread him? It turned out that he could not only tie people up and teach, but also be able to keep the world in mind and say such unprecedented words?

There is no other reason why Sun Bin was so surprised. The Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period lasted for too long. From the common people to the nobles and scholars, they all subconsciously believed that the world should be like this. Even a great wise man like Guan Zhong Baili Xi only set his goal to assist the monarch in dominating the world, be awarded the title of the emperor, and become a wise man of a generation... but they never thought of helping a country unify the world, eliminate the hundreds of years of conquests and wars, and make the people of the world safe!

Now that he suddenly heard Bai Dong’s bold words like “epoch-making”, Sun Bin was very popular, but he had to be amazed.

Bai Dong took a step forward and held Sun Bin's hand tightly: "Dong was born in Pengluo. Although he was favored by his mentor, he was unlucky to enter Guigu. He could not study with his senior brother. He was a lifelong regret. Senior brother Houjuan and Wu Dong did not dare to be responsible. It was just that the people in the world were suffering! Senior brother really bear to help me? Senior brother must believe me. Although Old Qin is poor and weak now, the one who can unify the world in the future must be Lao Qin! Why don't you and my brother create a grand event and leave your name forever? Senior brother... Please help me!"

Sun Bin frowned and looked at him for a long time, and then sighed for a long time: "You kid, okay... just for what you said just now, I will do my best to help you manage the Western Regions. If Ying Quliang is really a promising king and Qin is really as good as you said, I might consider staying in Qin. But I also have a condition, I will never be an enemy of Senior Brother Juan, and if I find that you are lying to me, I will leave Qin immediately and help Senior Brother Juan."

"One word is certain!"

Bai Dong laughed loudly. Sun Bin had this attitude. Naturally, he had various means to make him reluctant to leave Qin again, and he was the kind that he could not even drive away! (To be continued...)
