Chapter 307: Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
Now that Wei Feng, the Marquis of Wei, has made his decision, the court meeting has come to an end.
When the ministers of the Wei State walked out of the hall in twos and threes, a call came from behind Gongsun Yang, who was Situ.
"Situ Liubu."
When the voice fell, Gongsun Yang stopped moving forward. When he looked back, he saw that the person coming was not Sima Sun Boling, but who was it?
I saw Sun Boling trotting up to Gongsun Yang, a smile appearing in his eyes.
"I wonder if Situ would like to join me next time?"
Facing Sun Boling's invitation, Gongsun Yang also had a smile on his face.
"Sima, please!"
A moment later, Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling were walking side by side in the aisle between the palace rooms, just like when they were in Qin Dong.
It's just that the former county guards and county lieutenants are now the high-ranking Situ and Sima of Wei State.
No matter how famous soldiers on both sides of the aisle passed by, Gongsun Yang's eyes always stayed on Sun Boling.
"Bo Ling, do you still remember when you and I ruled Qin Dong together? At that time, you and I often walked side by side like we do now."
Gongsun Yang's words seemed to bring back memories in Sun Boling's heart, and his eyes were full of nostalgia.
"How can I not remember it? Brother Yang's talent is rare in the world. To be able to share the same path with Brother Yang, Bo Ling is very lucky in this life."
Since Gongsun Yang mentioned that the two were in Qin Dong, after expressing some emotion, Sun Boling naturally led the topic to today's court meeting.
"Bo Ling still has some doubts about today's court meeting, and I hope Brother Yang can help me clear up my doubts."
"You want to ask why your Majesty decided to send troops to attack Qi?"
Directly telling Sun Boling what he was thinking, Gongsun Yang continued: "In the past, when Boling first served in the Wei Kingdom, he proposed to the king the strategy of destroying Qin."
"Over the years, my country, Wei, has been preparing to destroy Qin. Whether it is vigorously developing Qindong or destroying Yiqu, it is all to achieve this goal."
"At today's court meeting, although your Majesty expressed his attitude of attacking Qi, I don't think this is your true purpose."
Having said this, Gongsun Yang slowly stopped in his tracks, and his eyes met the eyes of Sun Boling behind him.
When their eyes met, the two people reached a silent consensus, and a smile full of tacit understanding appeared on their faces.
"What Brother Yang means is that Your Majesty is so ready to send out troops to attack Qi in order to focus the attention of the whole world on the east."
"When everyone in the world turns their attention to the battle between Wei and Qi, that is when our great strategy of Wei will be truly implemented."
After Sun Boling finished speaking, the smiles on their faces became even brighter.
…
"Fight Qi and attack Qin; attack the east and attack the west. I am afraid that Qin is the real target of your attack."
Just when Gongsun Yang and Sun Boling reached an agreement, Prime Minister Gongsun Qi, who was sitting on the banquet in the main hall, also revealed Wei Feng's purpose.
Seeing that his thoughts were seen through, Wei Feng's face was not only not angry at all, but instead was full of joy.
"He who knows me is the prime minister of the country."
After a few breaths, the smile on his face gradually faded away, and a firm look appeared in Wei Feng's eyes.
"I have been waiting for this battle for ten years, and now it is time to have an outcome with Qin."
"Precisely because this war is of great importance, everyone in the world will pay close attention to it. Every move of our country, Wei, may be followed."
"In order to ensure that this battle is foolproof, and to divert the attention of the world, I came up with this strategy."
After explaining his purpose to Gongsun Qi without any reservation, Wei Feng stood up from his seat and walked to a map in the main hall.
"Please see, Prime Minister, at this time the Qi State is in the turmoil of power transition, and all the surrounding countries are watching with eager eyes and are ready to take action."
"If our country, Wei, shows its intention to attack Qi, then the princes in the world will not doubt it, and even the surrounding countries will choose to follow it when they see the benefits."
"Not only that, seeing that our Wei State may attack Qi State, the Chu State in the south will definitely not sit idly by and ignore it. The main force of the Chu army is very likely to be transferred to the east."
"At that time, the entire world's attention will turn to the east, and our country, Wei, will be able to attack Qin with ease."
Not long after Wei Feng finished speaking, Gongsun Qi walked slowly to his side.
"The reason why your Majesty sent Wang Cuo, the royal censor, as an envoy to Song, Lu, and Wei is to use the power of the three kingdoms to make a big statement and make everyone in the world believe that Wei is going to send troops to Qi."
"Exactly, I want to make the world think that I am going to send troops to attack Qi, and the three countries of Song, Lu, and Wei, who have a feud with Qi, are the best messengers."
While answering, Wei Feng's eyes fell on Gongsun Qi beside him, "As for sending the Prime Minister to Zhao and South Korea, I have other considerations."
"In terms of origin, our Wei State, Zhao State, and South Korea are both from the Jin State; in terms of identity, our Wei State, Zhao State, and South Korea are all allies; in terms of strength, although Zhao State and South Korea are not as powerful as Wei State, they are
No one in the world dares to underestimate him."
"If we, the State of Wei, want to succeed this time, we must ensure that the State of Zhao and South Korea will always stand firmly on the side of our State of Wei. This is why I sent the Prime Minister to Zhao and South Korea."
After saying this, Wei Feng moved his hand to the map in front of him and laid out the chips he could accept.
"If we want Zhao and South Korea to side with Wei, Wei must provide appropriate conditions."
"Judging from the map, to the west of the State of Zhao is the Shangjun of our State of Wei, and to the north are the Beidi tribes, which are not suitable for the expansion of the State of Zhao. If the State of Zhao wants to expand outwards, the State of Yan in the east and the State of Qi in the southeast are undoubtedly suitable
Target."
"We, the State of Wei, might as well support the State of Zhao in its economic strategy of Yan and Qi in exchange for the support of the State of Zhao."
"Judging from the map, South Korea's east, north, and west are all the territory of the Wei State, and only the south is adjacent to the Chu State. If South Korea wants to expand its territory, the only choice is the Chu State."
"We, the State of Wei, might as well support South Korea in attacking Chu in exchange for South Korea's support."
"In addition, Wei State is willing to use the rich land west of Ru River in the south in exchange for the Hangu Pass and other places that South Korea previously captured from Qin State. The Prime Minister can also discuss this matter with Han Hou Duoduo."
Facing Wei Feng's earnest instructions, Prime Minister Gongsun Qi's face was filled with solemnity.
"My minister, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust."
With a solemn expression on his face, Wei Feng sighed in a deep voice: "I am lucky to have a prime minister, and I am lucky to have a country like Wei."
