The sun is shining brightly high in the sky, a few wisps of white clouds are wandering in the blue sky, and a goshawk dances its wings and soars freely in the blue sky.
Ying Zheng opened the car curtain and looked at the goshawk's condescending appearance flying freely, and his mood became more and more cheerful.
He finally got the crown!
The feeling that you had no control over yourself, that even life and death was in the hands of others, is finally gone forever.
From now on, he is the real King of Qin!
However, the joyful look only lasted for a moment and then dissipated.
Because it's not time for him to relax yet. There are still many things to deal with and many enemies to deal with... not to mention the great cause of unifying the world.
Thinking of the enemy in front of him, a solemn look appeared on Ying Zheng's face.
On his way back to Xianyang from Yongcheng, the various countries in Shandong were discussing the specific matters of the alliance.
Regarding time, in fact, the opinions of all countries in Shandong have always been unified, that is, the faster, the better.
However, there are constant disputes among countries about the location.
South Korea, Xinzheng
As the center of the world, the countries in Shandong temporarily set the location for discussing alliance matters in Xinzheng, the capital of Han.
However, none of the allied countries wants to hold an alliance ceremony on their own soil to demonstrate their country's strength and status.
Chun Shenjun, as the principal, proposed to hold the alliance ceremony in the Huaibei area of Chu State, but was unanimously opposed by the other countries.
Although countries are now forming an alliance to fight against Qin, no one wants Chu, the most powerful among the Shandong countries, to become stronger or even become the next Qin.
Although King Chu was the co-chief and Lord Chun Shen was in charge, after all, other countries were opposed and it was hard for them to persist.
Later, Lord Xinling proposed an alliance in Daliang, the capital of Wei.
Although the current Wei army's combat effectiveness has been slightly reduced due to the death of Wei Wuzu commander Zhu Hai, it is still the most powerful country after Chu among the allied countries. A few years ago, the Wei army even fought on a par with the Chu army. Naturally, there are also This strength came to compete for the location of the alliance, but it was also feared and opposed.
Yan State did not participate in the battle. Yan Dan knew that Yan State's location was too remote and could not be used as an alliance venue, so he stayed on the sidelines as a spectator.
In fact, the reason why Yan participated in the alliance this time was because of the coercion of Zhao and was coerced into participating in the alliance. Otherwise, what real benefits would Yan have gained by attacking Qin?
In this case, just be a spectator.
He has already sold favors to Ying Zheng and the Qin State. Regardless of the success or failure of the alliance, neither side of the Yan State will be offended.
Later, Zhao Guo also tentatively proposed to locate the alliance in Shangdang.
The State of Zhao still has several cities in Shangdang, so it is natural that it hopes to set up the joint headquarters here to deter the Qin army from invading and at the same time recover the lost territory of Han, Zhao and Wei in the Hedong area.
This proposal made Wei, who was rejected, a little tempted. However, South Korea, which had the same interests as Zhao and Wei, hesitated and tried to propose an alliance meeting in Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea.
"How about we join the alliance in Xinzheng?"
Zhao Cong, the deputy general of the Zhao army, glanced at the man who proposed this suggestion with some disdain: "South Korea is weak, how can it be worthy of being a place for alliance?"
Everyone in the tent looked at each other, not knowing how to answer the question.
Zhao Cong is the deputy general of Zhao State and a descendant of Zhao State's clan, so he is indeed qualified to be so arrogant.
I have to say that although Zhao Cong's words were a bit rude, in the end they told the truth, saying what they wanted to say but were not comfortable saying.
Yes, South Korea is no longer that powerful country. Even the Zhao State, which has been hit hard many times, can despise South Korea. How can it have the nerve to propose that the location of the alliance be located in Xinzheng?
However, Lord Xinling was thoughtful.
He has always had an idea, which is to integrate the three Jins and use the power of the three Jins to fight against the Qin State, and even restore the Wei State to its former glory as the Jin State and compete for world hegemony. Therefore, before the last alliance was over, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the reputation he had accumulated over decades to attack South Korea in an attempt to destroy South Korea with thunderous force before the armies of other countries could react. By then, all other countries could only watch the Wei army stationed in Xinzheng. In order not to let the Qin army take advantage, they could only turn a blind eye.
However, Wei underestimated the Chu army's determination to use South Korea as a buffer, and eventually fought with the Chu army and both sides suffered losses.
But Lord Xinling had no regrets. Everything he did, whether despicable or shameless, was for the sake of his mother country.
Therefore, he is also the second country in the world besides Qin that does not want South Korea to become stronger.
But South Korea’s proposal is indeed worth thinking twice about.
If Qin wants to go eastward, it must attack South Korea.
It does seem to be a good suggestion to hope that the alliance will strengthen South Korea's momentum and prestige, so that South Korea can better guard the gateway and road out of Qin's east. But if Qin can be destroyed this time, then the significance of establishing the alliance in Xinzheng will be gone. Instead, it will help Korea's revival. This is by no means what Wei wants to see.
While the countries were arguing with each other, Wei Junyi spoke.
"Everyone, how about I recommend myself?"
For a moment, everyone turned their attention to the forty-year-old Wei Jun.
Originally, no monarch from any country would come to participate in this meeting today. After all, how can a monarch of a country move lightly?
But Wei Jun is obviously not among this group.
Wei Jun's name is Yi, and he is known as Wei Jun Yi in the world.
This Wei Junyi
In the fifth year of King Zhou Shun (252 BC), the Wei State imprisoned and killed Wei Huaijun, and appointed Wei Junyi, the son-in-law of King Wei of Wei, as the new Wei Jun, turning Wei State into a vassal state of Wei State.
As a vassal state, Weiguo's status was naturally inferior, so he could only come to Xinzheng in person to attend the meeting.
However, this Wei Junyi can be regarded as a wise king.
At least Weiguo's people's livelihood was restored during his governance. He himself was not extravagant, and he was somewhat virtuous in the world.
"I almost forgot that there is actually a Weiguo here."
Zhao Cong sneered.
The world only knows the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, so who cares about the Wei State, which lingers on and is reduced to a vassal state of the Wei State without even being crowned king?
If not for the purpose of increasing momentum, who would regard Weiguo as one country and describe the five-nation alliance as the six-nation alliance?
"Even South Korea is not qualified to place the alliance in Xinzheng, so what qualifications does Weiguo have to recommend itself?"
Yan Ju on the side pulled Zhao Cong and signaled Zhao Cong to stop talking.
Zhao Cong glanced at his friend Yan Ju, and snorted coldly at Wei Junyi, showing displeasure, but he did not refute his friend's face and said nothing.
Yan Ju cupped his fists at Wei Junyi and smiled slightly: "Wei Jun, please forgive me. Zhao Cong is outspoken and has no bad intentions. He did not intentionally insult Wei Guo."
Everyone was stunned. This Yan Ju seemed to be courteous and courteous, but in fact he was more venomous than Zhao Cong's mouth.
What this means is that Zhao Cong is just outspoken. In fact, he did not say anything wrong. You, Weiguo, are rubbish. It’s just that we should not explain this fact to your face to make you, Weijun, lose face.
"General Yan, this is too much!"
Wei Wuji glared at Yan Ju.
Although the state of Wei was indeed weak, it was still a vassal state of the state of Wei, and Wei Junyi himself was the son-in-law of King Wei of Wei and the nephew of Lord Xinling. Naturally, he could not bear to see him being humiliated like this.
After all, internal fighting is not conducive to the great cause of cooperation.
"What Mr. Xinling said is true."
When Yan Ju saw Lord Xinling speaking, he gave Lord Xinling some face and bowed to Lord Wei Yi Xing to express his apology.
After all, Lord Xinling had the kindness to save the country in Zhao State, and Lord Xinling's origin, ability and demeanor once conquered the civil and military officials of Zhao State.
Yan Dan, who was also in the commander's tent, narrowed his eyes and said nothing, just watching with cold eyes, as if Yan Guo was not involved in this alliance at all and was just discussing it in his heart.
"Before the troops are sent out, there will be discord."
"A bunch of insects, nothing short of a plan!"
Yan Dan suddenly felt a little lucky that he had used the military secrets of the Hezong Alliance to exchange the letter of recommendation with Zhang Ji.
Of course, it doesn't matter who did something that harmed the coalition first. Anyway, no matter whether he is involved or not, there will be no peace within the coalition.
Moreover, as long as others don't know that he leaked secrets, he is the one who stands on the moral high ground.
