Chapter 257 Chu Tunyue
Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is unbelievable that the two princes and kings are like selling vegetables in the vegetable market, haggling over every detail, and there are even more strange scenes.
Later generations compared the entire Warring States period to a free market, and countries large and small were companies or self-employed.
The king is the CEO, and he has the absolute right to speak. Even if we use the power of our whole country to build and prodigal, it will not matter.
In this era, only when power is centralized can we do good things, otherwise it will be difficult to accomplish the main things.
What Zhou Zihao has to do is to concentrate the power of the entire Central Plains in his own hands, become the first emperor, and get rid of Yingzheng. Anyway, it is still nearly a century before Qin unifies the Central Plains.
Zhou Zihao also became ruthless. With so many strong generals under his command and many think tanks, although he is not very useful, he knows the trend, what the people yearn for, what the people want, and the one who adapts to the trend is the one who wins in the end.
In the end, King Han agreed to King Wei's 'unreasonable' request, but he had no choice but to say that his country was not there.
However, King Han also secretly planned in his heart. He thought, Zhao Guo is not something Wei Guo can swallow, and when Wei Guo is firmly dragged by Zhao Guo's soldiers, and finally dies of exhaustion, then he will You can slowly reach out to Wei Guo for land.
Fighting at this time is a bit like stock trading. If you lose, you may lose all your money.
Of course, King Wei also had his own plans, he thought, wait for him to take Zhao Guo into his pocket with lightning speed, and raise the national power to an unprecedented height.
This South Korea is still repairing on the same spot, which is equivalent to standing still. Wei Guo is getting stronger and stronger, and South Korea has not made progress or has regressed. Under the situation of ebb and flow, it is not a matter of minutes to eat South Korea.
The "eighty percent" division method is just an excuse to stabilize King Han, but he can just send something away or simply tell him that the war is not stable yet, and he needs to wait before dividing things.
At present, the strength of South Korea and Wei is equal, and no one loses. If they break up at this time, it will not benefit anyone.
King Han is also a good person. Seeing King Wei's expression, he knew that he must be thinking about his big business. He didn't want to continue the chat. Anyway, a verbal agreement on this kind of thing is already an agreement.
In the Warring States period, this credit is still acceptable, even if you go back on your word, it is useless, the only thing that is useful is strength, whoever has the biggest fist will speak.
It is similar to the law of the jungle, the weak eat the strong, those small countries, once the surrounding big countries see that you can eat them, they will immediately destroy them, and there is no need to find any excuses.
Han Wang and Wei Wang returned to their own countries, and they were very busy.
However, the busiest state now is Chu State, who actually wiped out its neighbor Yue State without everyone's knowledge, and successfully pushed its land to the sea, becoming the largest country.
Originally, Qi State annexed half of the territory of Yan State, Song State, Wei and other countries, as well as Han and Wei. Vietnam.
At this time, the Yue State was not a small country. He merged with the Wu State, and its land area was about the same size as the original Qi State.
It seems that the momentum of the Chu Kingdom is very strong, the land has covered the entire south, dominating one side, if not for the cannons of Zhou Zihao and Qin, with his current momentum, he might become the biggest prince.
In the time and space of Zhou Zihao, the state of Chu broke with the state of Qi because of the poor governance of King Huai of Chu, and was tricked by Zhang Yi of the state of Qin. In the end, the prince was arrested and sent to the state of Qi, which made it difficult for both sides to take care of it and dragged down the state of Chu.
Of course, the most important reason is that the interior is not good. If Qu Yuan's reform can be carried out smoothly, maybe it can be done, but it is impossible. With Qu Yuan's Virgo character, a mentally clean man, he can't tolerate any flaws. Ideal American politics is difficult to achieve even in modern times.
Therefore, when the King of Chu used Qu Yuan as a sword for reform, he would naturally be resisted by those nobles whose interests were harmed.
Now, Chu State is still the largest country, and before Qin State and Qi State moved him, it was still the second or third most powerful vassal state.
The Chu State's destruction of Yue shocked the entire Central Plains and filled people with a sense of crisis, especially the Qin State. Since it swallowed up Bashu, it has the longest border with the Chu State. If the Chu State is determined to fight with Qin State, , then the Qin State is really not sure whether it can get through.
Therefore, after Ying Si received the news, he began to fidget. In addition, the production of the bombardment cannon was not satisfactory, and there were not many stocks. Even if all the bombarders were sent to the border for defense, it would not be effective.
However, he had to divide most of the only cannons currently available and send them to various border cities, so as to guard the country well.
The king of Qin has no sense of security at all now, and he had to send cannons to Han and Wei before, in order to stop Qi.
Now that he got what he wanted, it made him very upset, because he was not sure whether Qi State could produce cannons by itself.
Because, in his opinion, the cannons of Qi State were also owned out of thin air, and they suddenly appeared in front of his allies without any warning.
Therefore, King Qin took a chance, thinking that Qi's retreat to Yihe must have insufficient stamina.
Now he hopes that the Chu State will not fight to death so quickly. King Qin is still very afraid of a battle that is uncertain and involves huge risks.
Queen Mother Xuan just happened to pass by and saw King Qin sitting in the pavilion, worried, so she walked to him.
"My son sees my mother."
When King Qin saw Queen Mother Xuan, he immediately put away his worries. He didn't want his mother to be so old and worry about him.
Empress Dowager Xuan said: "My lord, are you worried about the state of Chu?"
Qin Wang nodded and said: "It seems that I still can't stand it, and you noticed it all at once."
Empress Dowager Xuan said: "Watching you grow up, I have experienced so much."
When King Qin heard what his mother said, he seemed to realize that since the most difficult time was over, the next difficulties would be nothing to worry about.
"Mother, I know what to do."
Empress Dowager Xuan saw that he swept away the gloom and turned into a compelling self-confidence. She liked King Qin's state very much.
Empress Dowager Xuan has been in charge of the government for many years. In order to find a balance between the government and the central government, she stayed up countless nights and made herself like a machine every day.
In order to allow the two orphans and widowed mothers to stand firm, they must also inherit the traditions of Qin and achieve the goals of several generations, unswervingly and never changing.
It can be imagined that a country can be like a person, and each generation works very hard to master the big ship of Qin.
