"Brother Yang, what about destroying Qin? What about weakening Qin?"

In Anyi City, the capital of Wei State, there was still the same Bai's Restaurant, and the same two people were still sitting opposite each other.

Once upon a time, Gongsun Yang from Weiguo and Shen Bushe from South Korea became close friends here because of speculation.

The two people who originally entered the Wei Kingdom for the first time, now one is a Situ, one of the six officials of the Wei Kingdom, and the other has become a high-ranking Yaqing.

Today, the reason why these two important ministers who hold a decisive position in the entire Wei court are sitting together is because of the noisy noise of attacking Qin in recent days.

Sitting on the seat, after listening to Shen Buhai's questions from the other side, Gongsun Yang's face was full of calmness.

"Brother, don't you think what's the national strength of Wei State at the moment?"

As the Yaqing of the Wei State, how could Shen Buhai not understand the current strength of the Wei State? He immediately replied with some pride: "After three generations of management by Marquis Wen, Marquis Wu and the Lord, our national power of Wei has become extremely strong."

"Especially since your Majesty succeeded to the throne, Wei, our country, has been revamping its domestic affairs and fighting against powerful enemies externally. It has become the most powerful country in the world worthy of its name."

Gongsun Yang did not comment on Shen Buhai's answer, but immediately asked the next question.

"Then you don't think that my brother, Wei, is completely sure if we want to destroy Qin?"

After Gongsun Yang's voice fell, Shen Buhai's answer did not come immediately from the other side.

Looking up, Shen Buhai no longer had the confidence he had just now, and instead his face was filled with thoughts and calculations.

This time Gongsun Yang did not wait for Shen Buhai's reply, and a faint sigh sounded between the two of them.

"When the Zhou Dynasty was first established, there were no less than eight hundred princes in the world; when King Ping moved eastward, there were still more than 140 princes; and now, there are only more than ten countries, large and small, left in the world.

indivual."

"Over the past hundreds of years, most of the princes in the world have been reduced to paragraphs in the history of history. The only difference is the amount of space they occupy."

"Even those who were as powerful as Jin in the past have now become the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao and Han, let alone Qin, which is far weaker than Jin?"

When Shen Buhe heard Gongsun Yang sighing, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

"What does Brother Yang mean by this? Does he mean that the Qin State can be destroyed?"

"Of course Qin can be destroyed!" He replied without any hesitation, and then Gongsun Yang suddenly changed the subject, "It's just to see whether the destruction of Qin to our Wei State will bring more benefits than disadvantages, or more disadvantages than benefits."

He implemented the will of Legalism and had many years of experience in the Wei Dynasty. If we use the evaluation standards of later generations to judge Gongsun Yang, he is a complete realist.

Can the Qin State be destroyed? In Gongsun Yang's view, this question is just a trade-off between interests.

And Shen Buhai, who was also a Legalist, after listening to Gongsun Yang's words, he once again began to worry about the gains and losses of destroying Qin.

"Even after more than ten years of management by the king, the national power of Wei State is already stronger than that of Marquis Wen and Marquis Wu, but Qin was the overlord of the West after all, and its national power cannot be underestimated."

"If we mobilize the power of the whole country to forcibly destroy Qin, Qin may be destroyed by Wei, but Wei will also suffer considerable losses."

While muttering to himself, Shen Buhe compared the strength between Wei and Qin, and then Shen Buhe began to turn his attention from the local to the overall situation.

"With the national power of Wei, we may be able to overthrow Qin, but then the princes of the world will definitely be wary of Wei."

"If a big country like the Chu State steps forward first, our Wei State will definitely be attacked by a group of people."

"Two fists are no match for four hands, a tiger is no match for a pack of wolves, and if you try to provoke the people of Qin, our country, Wei, will be in danger."

Although Shen Buhe imagined the worst case scenario, maybe Wei would not suffer an unbearable price in destroying Qin, or maybe the princes in the world would not attack Wei with all their strength because they were afraid of each other;

But at this moment, the Wei State cannot gamble, not to mention that this gamble still weighs on the national destiny of the entire Wei State.

In fact, the advantages established through war after war for more than ten years can fully support the Wei State to gradually weaken the threat from the Qin State in the west.

Destroying Qin is not impossible; but weakening Qin is also a path that Wei can choose?

Staring at Gongsun Yangma in front of him, Shen Buhe asked: "Brother Yangma once said that Qin will be weak, but I don't know how to weaken Qin?"

When Gongsun Yang, who was opposite, heard Shen Buhu's question, a smile immediately appeared on his lips.

He casually dipped his index finger into some wine from the wine cup in front of him, and Gongsun Yang started sketching for Shen Buhai on the table in front of him.

"Brother Buhao, please take a look. To the west of Hangu Pass and to the east of Longshan is the place where the Zhou Dynasty arose in the past."

"After King Ping moved eastward and the Qin people expelled the Quanrong from this area, this land in Guanzhong became the foundation of Qin's strength."

"In the previous battle, our country, Wei, seized half of Guanzhong from Qin, which greatly damaged Qin's vitality."

"If we attack Qin this time, our Wei State can include all the lands in Guanzhong..."

As he spoke, Gongsun Yang's face suddenly became filled with pride, and he even pushed forward with his right hand.

"The Qin State will retreat to its homeland in Longxi from now on, and will no longer have the strength to compete with the Wei State. The threat to the western territory of the Wei State will also be greatly weakened."

"color!"

Gongsun Yang gave a rough outline of his plan, and Shen Buhai's cheers immediately sounded from the opposite side.

"At that time, your Majesty only needs to send a strategist to the west to Longshan. In order to protect the state of Qin, the state of Qin will be asked to pay tribute to Wei."

"The Qin State, which was originally a serious enemy of the Wei State, was able to defend the Wei State from the invasion from the Xirong just like the western barrier of the Zhou Dynasty in the past."

As soon as these words came out, Gongsun Yang and Shen Buye looked at each other, and a tacit understanding quietly emerged between them.

That is to say, when Gongsun Yang and Shen Buyu were discussing the weakening of Qin in Bai's restaurant, there were also people in the main hall of the Wei palace thinking about the same thing.

"Destroy Qin, weaken Qin, destroy Qin, weaken Qin..."

The repeated murmurs kept ringing, which seemed particularly loud in this somewhat quiet hall.

After I don’t know how long it lasted, Wei Feng, the master of the murmur, suddenly stopped repeating, and his steps came to the table again.

Wei Feng stretched out his right hand and gently picked up a silk book from the table. It was written by Gongsun Qi, the prime minister who was in charge of Daliang and guarded against Chu.

After reading the silk book again, when the last two familiar seal characters came into view, the hesitation disappeared in Wei Feng's eyes.

"Weak Qin."

Now that we have made up our minds, we must let the war machine of Wei State run at full speed.

His left hand touched the sword on his waist at some point, Wei Feng looked solemn and shouted outside the hall.

"Someone is coming..."
