Emperor Qin Ba Shi

Chapter 583

Make peace first, and then strike halfway, annihilating the Western Wei in one fell swoop.

This kind of strategy is very famous in history. This strategy played a huge role in Liu Ji's victory over Xiang Yu.

The alliance of the chasm is a famous embodiment of this case.

At the beginning, the overlord of Western Chu was weak, and Peng Yue, the king of Liang, harassed Chu and cut off the grain and grass of Xiang Yu's Jiangdong base.

So much so that hundreds of thousands of troops were running out of food and grass, and that's why the famous Gap Alliance came into being.

After the covenant was signed, Xiang Yu released Liu Ji's wife, children and others, and when Xiang Yu led the army southward, he tore up the covenant and attacked Xiang Yu.

As a result, Xiang Yu's idea of ​​the Chuhe Han world was completely reduced to a fantasy, and he also made himself a stepping stone for Liu Ji.

Because of this, Hu Hai is naturally aware of this strategy.It's just that this strategy looks simple, but it is difficult to implement.

In the camp of the Western Wei Dynasty, it is not that there are people with unique vision. Naturally, they have heard of such classic examples.

Thoughts flickered in Hu Hai's mind. At this moment, he was a little uncertain about Sima Qingshan's strategy.

After all, to attack halfway, you need the right time, place and people to take advantage of it, otherwise it is very likely that the success will fall short.

Hu Hai knows better than anyone that if this matter is to be accomplished, not only the cooperation of his own people, but also the cooperation of King Wei is required.

"Sima Qingshan, strike halfway, how sure are you?" After a while, Hu Hai looked at Sima Qingshan and said.

Up to now, there is not much time left for him to make a choice.

"Your Majesty, if the King of Wei is still leading the army, I am [-]% sure!" Emperor Qin asked, and Sima Qingshan blurted out without thinking.

Obviously, Sima Qingshan made this decision after careful consideration.

"it is good--"

Hu Hai nodded, and said to everyone in the big tent, "Just as General Sima said, first make peace with the Western Wei Dynasty, then tear up the covenant, and attack halfway."

"Your Majesty, it is good to attack halfway, but it will definitely affect your majesty's reputation."

At this moment, Bai Shu spoke suddenly, the disapproval in his tone was beyond words.

"My reputation is already in ruins. It's not a big deal if my shadow doesn't affect me. As long as the Great Qin Empire wins, any price will be worth it."

Emperor Qin is a person who puts interests first, as long as it is beneficial to the Great Qin Empire, he will do anything.

"Bai Shu, go and invite the envoys of the Western Wei Dynasty over here, I want to see what the King of the Western Wei Dynasty wants to do—!"

"Yes--!"

Bai Shu's suggestion was rejected by Emperor Qin, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction in his heart, because he knew that in the Great Qin Empire, Emperor Qin's orders were above all else.

As long as Emperor Qin nodded and agreed to anything, it was the final decision and no one could object.

This is the iron law of the Great Qin Empire, which has existed on the Great Qin court since the First Emperor, and has become the consensus of the Great Qin court and people.

After Bai Shu left, Mi Wu, Sima Qingshan and others frowned slightly, especially Sima Qingshan, who made this half-way suggestion.

But he was not satisfied with this strategy.Because he knew that at this moment, it was the best time for the Great Qin Empire to destroy Wei.

Once it is missed and blocked by the joint attack of Qin by the Shandong countries, if they want to destroy Wei at that time, it will definitely affect the whole body.

At that time, the Great Qin Empire will not be destroyed as soon as it is said, and all the countries in Shandong have become powerful. If they unite together, they will be a huge threat to the Great Qin Empire going east.

Thoughts flickered in his mind, Sima Qingshan and Mi Wu looked at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Emperor Qin's use of troops was unreasonable, and he didn't understand the art of war. It was so weird that people couldn't figure it out.

"Message of the King of Wei, I pay my respects to Emperor Qin. I wonder what Qin Emperor is thinking?" For this negotiation, the envoy came with a heavy mission.

It can be said that he is the hope of Wei Wangwen, and also the hope of the Western Wei Dynasty to continue to occupy Taiyuan County.

As long as Emperor Qin insists on going his own way and wants to fight the Western Wei Dynasty and Taiyuan County, no matter what price the Qin army pays, he will definitely break the Wei army's defense.

Like a short-lived Western Wei Dynasty, it will completely wither.

"Ha ha--!"

Hearing this, Emperor Qin took a deep look at the envoy of King Wei, laughed loudly, and then stopped suddenly.

"I can make peace with the Western Wei Dynasty, but the King of Wei needs to issue a proclamation to the world, acknowledging that Shangdang County belongs to the Great Qin Empire."

"This is my only condition, as long as King Wei agrees, everything will be easy."

"Emperor Qin's matter is too big, and foreign ministers can't make the decision for a while, and I need the king to make a decision."

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Qin Emperor naturally knew this kind of matter about territory, a small envoy had no right to handle it at all.

"Go and report to the King of Wei. I will give you half a day. I won't wait when it's over."

At this time, Hu Hai's attitude was resolute, because at this moment the Great Qin Empire was in an absolute advantage.

With an absolute advantage, under such circumstances, if Emperor Qin still cannot control the initiative in the negotiation, it means that Emperor Qin is an undercover agent.

"only."

Shangdang County had already been occupied by the Great Qin Empire, and belonged to the Western Wei Dynasty only in name, but he knew that even so, the King of Wei had to make the decision.

Beyond that, whoever makes the decision, who dies.

As an envoy of a country, he naturally understands the truth that being with a king is like being with a tiger. At this time, no matter what the reason is, there is nothing wrong with keeping a low profile.

Half an hour later, the envoy finally returned to the Wei Army Camp. After eating, he immediately rushed to the Central Army Camp.

"Your Majesty, Chen Qing asks to see you!" Chen Qing said after walking outside the tent of the Chinese army, bowing solemnly.

"Your Majesty, let you go in and meet him!" Sima of the Chinese Army reported to King Wei, walked out of the big tent, and said to Chen Qing.

"Thanks--!"

After nodding his thanks, Chen Qing stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army. As soon as he entered the big tent, he bowed solemnly to the commander and said.

"I pay homage to the king, and the king is safe!" Chen Qing knew Wei Wangwen too well, and he had the arrogance of his ancestor Wei Huiwang.

But he didn't have the luck of King Wei Hui, at least Wei State dominated the Central Plains at that time, just like Western Chu at that time.

Wei Wangwen ascended to the throne only because of Hu Hai, and he does not have much prestige in the Wei state.

Because of this, Wei Wangwen is extremely sensitive to the loyalty of his subjects, and once he feels dissatisfied, disaster will happen.

"Aiqing envoys Qin, what does Emperor Qin say and what is his attitude?" Wei Wangwen looked at Chen Qing in the big tent with a hint of joy in his eyes.

He knew what Chen Qing's trip to Qinying this time meant to them.

"My lord, Qin Emperor agreed to make peace, but Qin Emperor asked the king to issue an edict, declaring that Shangdang County belongs to the Great Qin Empire."

"So, this minister does not dare to self-determination, so I came here to ask the king for advice."
