The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 241: Discussion of the Seven Kingdoms

When Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang arrived in Xianyang, they first went to visit Wei Liao. When the doorman heard that they were Wei Liao's juniors, he did not dare to neglect them and hurriedly reported to the housekeeper. The housekeeper had already been told that the master's juniors would come to visit in the near future, and he estimated that they would be these two, so he hurried to invite them into the mansion.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, he is worthy of being the master's junior, he has such an extraordinary bearing!
The housekeeper respectfully invited the two of them into the house and waited, and made all the arrangements very well.

When he arrived at Wei Liao's mansion, he was even more amazed. The treatment his uncle gave him was truly extraordinary.

This mansion alone is extremely large and luxurious, and all the items are gorgeous and luxurious. Even the items specially provided for the royal family are just ordinary.

I have heard for a long time that my uncle-master was treated with great courtesy by the King of Qin when he came to Qin. The King of Qin personally went out of the palace to greet him and rode into the palace with him in a golden carriage to appoint him as a national commander. All the requirements were the same as those of the King of Qin. Now it seems to be true.

Just looking at the treatment of Wei Liao, the two of them had already secretly praised the King of Qin before they even met him, and what he said about the King of Qin being generous and respectful to the virtuous was true.

The two of them waited in the mansion until the hour of Xu, when Wei Liao returned. When he arrived at the door, he heard the doorman report that a younger generation was visiting, so he waited in the mansion.

Even though he felt a little tired, he was in high spirits and very happy. He had never met these two disciples of his senior brother, but only heard about them in his letters.

Walking hurriedly towards the guest hall, Wei Liao's eyes lit up when he saw Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang. It seemed that his senior brother had good vision. The disciples he accepted were all handsome and had extraordinary bearings. Moreover, they were very sharp at a young age and their cultivation was excellent.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang saw an old man with dignified demeanor and luxurious clothes entering the hall. His cultivation was as deep as the abyss and difficult to fathom. They knew it must be his uncle Wei Liao.

The two men hurriedly stood up and stepped forward, bowing respectfully: "Gai Nie (Wei Zhuang) greets Uncle Master."

Wei Liao nodded with satisfaction, smiling: "No need to be polite when we are family, please take a seat."

Wei Liao took the main seat, and the two men sat below. The more Wei Liao looked at them, the more satisfied he became. He secretly praised his senior brother for his good training, saying that there was someone to succeed him.

"Not bad, very good. You have already achieved great martial arts skills at such a young age. In the world today, you are ranked among the top 100. There are not many people of your age with your skills, and even fewer who are better than you. It seems that you have inherited the true teachings from your senior brother."

Gai Nie stood up and said respectfully, "Uncle Master, you are too kind. There are countless talented people in the world. My two brothers are really not worth mentioning."

Wei Zhuang stood up as well, but said nothing.

Wei Liao nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it is a good thing to be humble. You must learn to be humble in Xianyang, especially when you enter the officialdom. You must first learn to blend in with the crowd before you have the opportunity to show your brilliance."

"My senior brother asked you to go to Qin, so tell me what you think of the current world."

The two knew that this was a test, and the result of this test would determine how their uncle would recommend and assign them.

The two brothers looked at each other. Gai Nie, as the senior brother, spoke first and stood up and said, "Uncle Master, the overall situation in the world has been determined. The momentum of the Qin Dynasty sweeping across the world is unstoppable."

"Unless we immediately replace the extremely incompetent King Qin, it is inevitable that the Qin Dynasty will unify the world. It is just a matter of time. With the great talent and strategy of the current King, it will not take too long."

Wei Liao nodded gently: "Tell me more about it." "There are seven countries in the world today, and the others don't need to be discussed. The surrounding barbarians have fought a war last year, so there will be no threat for at least ten years."

"Qi has no strategic location to defend. Since other countries attacked Qi and nearly destroyed it, they have been slacking off in military affairs. The King of Qi is just an average person and is full of resentment towards other countries. He lacks ambition and ambition. Now Qi is basically out of the game."

"Yan is a small country with few people and has always been weak. The King of Yan is greedy and unrighteous. The nobles in the country are conservative and corrupt, and they are mortal enemies with Qi and Zhao. Zhao alone can keep a close eye on him. Yan has no chance."

"Han is also a small country with few people. It is also a place surrounded by wars. It is also blocking the eastward advance of Qin. If Zhao, Wei and Chu did not need a stumbling block from Qin and used Han as a buffer and vanguard in the war, Han would have been gone long ago. Even so, Han is now dependent on Qin."

"Zhao was originally strong, and its military was even stronger. However, it has never recovered since the Battle of Changping and Handan, and suffered heavy losses again last year. Now it can only defend, and it is difficult to attack. At most, it can fight against Yan and Qi. If it goes to war, it must be careful of being attacked from both sides. If it is attacked from both sides, it will only lose and not win."

"Wei was once the hegemon of the world, and the previous King of Wei was a great leader. However, it was seriously damaged last year, and this year it lost the land of Hedong. Now Wei no longer has the geographical advantage of being in the east and west, and it is difficult for it to make progress in the heart of the Central Plains. Judging from the battles last year and this year, the ability of the new King of Wei is really worrying."

"Chu has always been regarded as a barbarian country, and has always been quite alienated from the other six countries. The King of Chu is considered a wise ruler, but the royal family is powerful and there are many nobles in the country, which hinders him from making any achievements."

"The Qin State is the only State in the world with a vast territory and a large population. The government and the people are united, the monarch is wise, and it is invincible on three sides. The country has natural defenses and there are few obstacles on its way eastward. Even if it is just to gradually nibble away and advance steadily, it is enough to occupy the world."

Wei Liao nodded with a smile, extremely satisfied: "Okay, okay, well said, sit down."

Looking at Wei Zhuang, Wei Zhuang stood up and said, "Uncle, what you just said is the general situation of the world. I will add a little more."

"Everything in the world is man-made. What makes a country strong? It must be a government and a monarch who is wise. People from top to bottom have the desire to make progress and the way to make progress. Everyone performs their duties and gains something. Everyone is united and works hard. Only in this way can a country be strong."

"Qi State, the King of Qi is just an average person. The people of Qi live by the sea, follow the old ways of Guanzi, value commerce and profit. Although they are rich, they have little ambition, and are not strong and brave. They are not worth worrying about."

"Yan State, the King of Yan is a man who values ​​profit over morality. It has been a noble country for 800 years, but the nobles are tyrannical and extremely corrupt. The common people have no place to stand. It can be said that there is no one below them, let alone fighting for supremacy in the world. Now it is only attacked by Zhao State because Yan State is poor. Among the seven countries, except for Han State, there is no country weaker than Yan State."

"South Korea, let's not talk about South Korea."

"Chu, Chu is similar to Yan, with a leader but no subordinates, and the leader is always fighting. They can never be united. Although they are strong, they are not a threat in the short term. Although they have vast land, most of the land is barren, and the people are not educated. In terms of growth and strength, Chu cannot compare with Qin. Even if the conditions are equal, Chu cannot outrun Qin."

"Zhao State, King Wuling of Zhao adopted the Hu clothing and horse riding, weakened the nobles, strengthened the military, and became the strongest country in the world. It's a pity that the country is now exhausted, and Wei and Yan are holding it back. He doesn't have time."
