Han Feizi saves Han

Korea has served the Qin State for more than 30 years, and going out is like a commonly used sleeve cover and curtain, and entering the house is like a mat and cushion that often sits.

As long as Qin sent elite troops to attack other countries, Korea always followed it, and the resentment was tied to the princes, and the interests were attributed to the strong Qin.

Moreover, Korea paid tribute and dutiful, which was no different from the counties of Qin.

Now I have heard that Your Majesty's plan is to send troops to attack Korea.

Zhao gathered soldiers, adopted those who advocated cooperation, and prepared to unite the armies of various countries, indicating that if Thailand was not weakened, the princes would surely perish, and planned to attack Qin westward to achieve its intentions, which was no longer an overnight plan. Now that the scourge of Zhao is abandoned, and South Korea is to be eliminated like a minister, then all countries will understand that Zhao has a good plan.

Han is a small country, and it has been a long time since it had to deal with attacks from all sides, humiliating the monarch and suffering its courtiers.

Build fortifications, guard against strong enemies, actively stock supplies, build walls, and dig rivers to hold on.

If you invade Korea now, you can't destroy the country in a year. If you conquer a city, you will have to retreat, and your strength will be despised by all countries, and all countries will defeat the Qin army.

If this is the case, it is to use Han and Wei to help Zhao, and Zhao will use Qi to consolidate the alliance, so as to compete with Qin, which is the blessing of Zhao and the scourge of Thailand.

Then the soldiers who charged into the battle were tired of the field battle, and the transport team was tired of internal attrition, that is, the army of hardship and fatigue was gathered to deal with the two great powers of Zhao and Qi, which was not in line with the original intention of destroying Han.

If you act according to your ministers' strategy, then the Qin State will definitely become the target of attack by all countries. Even if Your Majesty lives as long as the golden stone, the day of annexation of the world will not come. Now my plan is to send an envoy to the state of Chu, bribe the ruling ministers, publicize the situation of the state of Zhao deceiving the state of Qin, send hostages to the state of Wei to make him feel at ease, and lead Han to attack Zhao. Even if Zhao and Qi unite, it is not worth worrying about. After the attack on Zhao and Qi is over, South Korea can be pacified by issuing a document.

In this way, Qin and the two countries became annihilated in one fell swoop, and Chu and Wei must have automatically obeyed. Therefore, it is said that "weapons are murderous things" and should not be used carelessly. Confronting Qin and Zhao, adding Qi as an enemy, and now rejecting Korea, without measures to strengthen the hearts of Chu and Wei and Qin, if this battle cannot be won, it will constitute a catastrophe. Stratagem is used to decide things, and it is impossible not to observe them deeply. In the end, who is strong and who is weak in Zhao and Qin will be clear this year. Besides, Zhao and other princes have been secretly plotting for a long time. It is dangerous to show weakness to the princes in one action, and it is the greatest danger to make the princes calculate the Qin state with a plan. The appearance of two loopholes is not a stronger way than the princes. I hope that Your Majesty will consider this situation carefully!

The attack on Korea caused the co-columnists to take advantage of the loophole, and it was too late to regret it. The edict sent Han Fei's letter, which stated that Korea could not be conquered, to his courtier Li Si, who thought that his statement was very wrong.

Qin let Han exist, just like a person who has a disease of the heart, he is usually uncomfortable, if he lives in a damp place, he will not be cured, and if he runs quickly, he will be sick. Although Han has surrendered to Qin, it may not be Qin's heart disease, and once there is a sudden report, Han cannot be trusted. Qin and Zhao were enemies, and Jing Su sent an envoy to Qi, but I don't know what the result was.

In my opinion, the relations between Qi and Zhao are not necessarily severed because of Jing and Su, and if they do not break off diplomatic relations, this is to mobilize the whole Qin to deal with the forces of the two countries. Han is not obedient to Qin's morality, but to the powerful, and now concentrate on dealing with Qi and Zhao, Han will definitely become a confidant and attack. If Han and Chu plan to attack Qin, and the princes respond, then Qin will definitely see the scourge of defeat again. Han Fei's arrival may not be to use what he can save Han to seek Han's reuse. There are many clever words, concealing the true intentions, plotting fraud, to get benefits from the Qin State, and to spy on His Majesty with Korean interests. Qin and Han have a close relationship, and Han Fei is important, which is a ploy to facilitate himself.

I think Han Fei's remarks can decorate his mixed rhetoric and sophistry, and he is very talented. I fear that Your Majesty will be deceived by Han Fei's arguments and listen to his ambitions, so that he will not examine the facts of the affairs in detail. Now, in my humble opinion, if Qin sends troops but does not specify the target of the crusade, then the rulers of Korea will adopt the strategy of serving Qin. Please allow me to go to the king of Han and ask him to come to Jin, and when the king receives him, take the opportunity to detain him and not send him back, and then summon the Korean minister, and use the king of Han to trade with the Hans, so that he can cede a large amount of Han land. Then he ordered Meng Wu to levy the soldiers of Dongjun, and Chen soldiers watched on the border without explaining where to go, so that the Qi people would be afraid and obey Jing Su's proposition, so that if the Qin soldiers did not leave the country, Jin Han would be intimidated by the power and submit to it, and Qiang Qi would obey because of morality. When the other princes heard about it, the Zhao people were frightened, and the Chu people were hesitant, and they must have plans to be loyal to Qin. If the Chu people do not move, Wei is not worth worrying about, and the countries can gradually complete the invasion and occupation, and they can compete with the Zhao State. I hope that Your Majesty will carefully consider my plan and not ignore it. So Qin sent Li Si as an envoy to Korea.

Li Si went to sue the king of Han in Chongqing, but he couldn't see it, so he wrote and said: "In the past, Qin and Han worked together, so they didn't interfere with each other, and no country in the world dared to invade, like this for decades."

Some time ago, the princes of the five countries had united with each other to jointly crusade against Korea, and Thailand sent troops to rescue them. Han is located in the Central Plains, with a territory of less than 1,000 miles, and the reason why Han can be ranked with the princes in the world, both monarchs and ministers, is because of the role of serving the Qin State from generation to generation.

Previously, the princes of the five countries jointly attacked Thailand, but Korea instead united the princes and acted as the vanguard, coming down to fight against the Qin army at Hangu Pass. The princes and soldiers were exhausted and had no choice but to retreat. When Du Cang was appointed as the prime minister of Qin, he sent troops to take revenge on the princes, and attacked Chu first. The state of Chu ordered Yin to take this as a trouble, saying: "Korea thinks that Thailand is unjust, but it has formed a brotherhood with Qin to poison the world together. Soon he betrayed the Qin State and acted as a pioneer to attack the Qin Pass. Han lives in the Central Plains, capricious and unpredictable. ’

The princes jointly cut off ten cities in the Han Shangdang region to apologize to the Qin State and relieve the threat of the Qin army. Han once betrayed Qin and the country was forced to cut down, and the army has weakened to this day, and the reason why this is the case is because he listened to the superficial words of the traitors and did not weigh the facts, so even if the traitors were killed, they could not make Korea strong again. Now Zhao wanted to gather soldiers and suddenly attack Qin, and sent people to Han to borrow the road, saying that he wanted to attack Qin. Its tendency is bound to hit Han first and then Qin.

And I've heard, 'When the lips die, the teeth are cold.'" 'Qin and Han can't do without common sorrows, this situation is obvious. Wei wanted to send troops to attack Korea, and Qin sent people to bring Wei envoys to Korea. Now that the King of Qin has sent me, he has not been summoned, and my King Bo has repeated the tactics of the traitorous ministers of the past, so that Han has the worry of losing his territory. I can't get a summons, please let me return to China to report, and the relationship between Qin and South Korea will be severed. I have come to make an envoy, in the hope of the King of Qin to make the two countries happy, and to offer a plan in favor of Korea, is it that Your Majesty has come to receive me like this?

I hope to see the king, come forward and tell me the foolishness, and then accept the death penalty, I hope Your Majesty will pay more attention!

Even if he kills me in Korea now, the king will not be strong enough, but if he does not listen to my plan, it will be a disaster. Qin's troops kept advancing, and the Korean country could be worried. If I were in the Korean Corpse Market, it would be impossible for the King to consider my plan to pledge allegiance to you. The border was broken, the national capital was stubbornly defended, and the sound of killing was heard, and it was too late to think of using my strategy at that time.

Besides, the geometry of Korea's military strength is clear to the whole world, and now it has betrayed the powerful Qin State. If the city is lost, the inner army will attack the city, and when the city is lost, the people will be scattered, and when the people are scattered, the army will be gone. If you stick to the capital, the Qin State will definitely raise troops to surround the king in the lonely city, once the road is blocked, the plan will be difficult to determine, this situation can not be saved, the strategy of the left and right ministers is useless, I hope Your Majesty will think about it. If what I say does not conform to the truth, I hope that the king will let me come forward and finish my words, and it will not be too late to be tortured and killed.

The king of Qin was unwilling to eat and drink, unhappy to play, and was all interested in seeking Zhao State, so he sent me to inform me, hoping to be received in person, in order to be anxious to discuss strategies with the king.

Now that the envoys are not clear, the integrity of South Korea cannot be ascertained. Thailand will abandon the calamity of Zhao and move its troops to Korea, and I hope that Your Majesty will once again seriously consider this situation and tell me the decision. ”
