Fei Qian shook his head and said, "If you just see the excitement, then you might as well turn left and look for some Zuixianlou dialect book..."

Fei Zhen's face suddenly collapsed, "My father...this, please give me advice..."

Fei Qian said slowly: "Wu Zixu destroyed Chu, Shen Baoxu cried Qin... It looks quite lively, right?"

Fei Zhen nodded.

Fei Qian laughed twice, "But you were cheated..."

『Ah?』 Fei Zhen stared at the top, 『Could it be... what my father meant was that Chunqiu...is there a falsehood?"

Fei Qian smiled and said, "No... the spring and autumn brushwork is written by spring and autumn... do you understand?"

"Uh..." Fei Zhen seemed to understand.

"Okay, rescuing soldiers is also considered Shen Baoxu's ability, but what did he say to the King of Qin?" Fei Qian asked slowly while looking up at the sky.

"Wu is a captive pig, a long snake? If it is not removed, Qin will be uneasy." Fei Zhen asked.

Fei Qian nodded, "Continue."

"Wu was a captive pig and a long snake, and he recommended food to the country, and abuse began in Chu..." Fei Zhen recited the passage from Zuo Zhuan, and then said with a little hesitation, "Is this... my father's intention... he is... threatening Qin?"

『Half to half.』 Fei Qian nodded with a smile, 『It means something...and what? Can the King of Qin be threatened by him? The King of Qin did not agree to him, and then what did he do? Crying, it is said that he cried for seven days and seven nights... It is said that "during the sound of day and night, the spoon cannot drink for seven days"... Haha, of course, I cried for seven days without eating or drinking, and this person was dead... Well, this is not the point, the King of Qin agreed to send troops later! Okay, now do you think... Shen Baoxu's crying... is it really useful? Is it the reinforcements that cried, or is it something else?"

Fei Zhen pondered for a moment, sighed slightly and said, "It's useless to cry. The King of Qin sent troops, but it's not pity..."

Of course, in the description of the clip "Crying Qin Ting", Shen Baoxu's loyalty and patriotism is still understandable and worthy of affirmation, but the problem is just like Fei Qian said, Qin Ai Duke helped Shen Baoxu send troops to rescue the State of Chu, was it really just because the King of Qin was moved by Shen Baoxu's tears?

Obviously it is impossible. Although Duke Ai of Qin was reigned for 36 years, although he did not do many earth-shaking actions, he was more or less a wise monarch. As the monarch of Qin, how could he be moved by tears? What he cares about must be profit.

『So, these two Xus are like the Western Regions, and they look like one or two people's affairs...』 Fei Qian smiled and said, 『Actually, it's not... the two Xus' affairs, it's just an introduction...』

『Behind Wu State is Jin State…』 Fei Qian said slowly, 『There has always been a disagreement between Jin and Chu. In order to restrain and weaken Chu State, Jin State sent people to Wu State to teach knowledge and technology, and teach Wu State how to build military armor and farming production... This is the reason why Wu Zixu attacked Chu! If there were no Jin State, there were ten hundred Wu Zixu, what could it be?』

During the Spring and Autumn Period, as the territory of Chu gradually expanded, the vassal states of the Central Plains regarded it as a serious threat. In order to gain strategic initiative, the overlord of the Central Plains at that time, Jin turned his target to Wu. Just before, when the Chu people fled to Jin, they suggested that Jin and Wu alliance to fight against Chu, so Jin promoted this plan. For Wu, this was a good opportunity for Wu to get rid of being controlled by Chu, so he hit it off.

『So,』 Fei Qian looked at Fei Zhen,『Now do you understand? Why did Qin send troops?』

Fei Zhen thought for a while and quickly said, "Qin sent troops to aid Chu, but in fact it was intended to Jin State! Jin State is the great enemy of Qin State. If Jin State can weaken Jin State, the King of Qin will naturally agree! Shen Baoxu knew this, so he went to Qin State for help!"

"So, I really cried because of Qin Ting? Or is it Shen Baoxu alone?" Fei Qian asked with a smile.

Fei Zhen shook her head and asked, "So, my father said... the achievements of the Western Regions are actually not the achievements of Lu Fengxian alone?"

Fei Qian did not answer and raised his head and smiled.

『Not to talk about the Western Regions, let’s talk about Qin…』 Fei Qian gently tapped the table, 『What is the strategy of Qin? Get along with far and near...』

At that time, the biggest enemy of Qin was Jin. In order to deal with Jin, they intended to have a good relationship with the Chu State, which had a grudge against Jin State. Since Duke Mu of Qin, Qin State has built a "iron-core" strategic alliance with Chu State through in-laws. From this perspective, if Wu State was allowed to destroy Chu State, or if Jin State or Wu State supported a puppet regime in Chu State, then Qin State's previous investment would be in vain and would be strategically passive and surrounded by Jin and Wu State.

The Qin State was not very strong at that time. It was difficult to deal with a Jin State. At this time, will there be a good life for Qin State in the future? Therefore, Qin Ai Duke must take advantage of the situation of the joint attack between Jin State and Wu State and stifle this danger in the cradle.

"So since the situation was like this at that time, why didn't the King of Qin agree to Shen Baoxu immediately? Was he intentionally delayed? Or why?" Fei Qian raised another question, "Just like among the three auxiliary assistants in Chang'an... At that time, many people were anxious to attack Shandong... Now someone jumped and said they wanted to pacify the Western Regions... These people, haha..."

"All of these people are extremely dull!" Fei Zhen said with a contemptuous look, "We should be cautious in military and national affairs, so how can we act lightly?"

『It is easy to say others...』 Fei Qian glanced at Fei Zhen, "Then tell me, why didn't Qin send troops at that time? He had to wait seven days later... Well, of course, it was claimed that Shen Baoxu cried for seven days and moved the world, and also moved the King of Qin, and there was no romance... If you believe all these, I will let you cry for seven days...』

『Uh…』 Fei Zhen smiled awkwardly, 『Is it…because the King of Qin wants to confirm the trends of Jin State?』

『There is a little bit...』 Fei Qian thought for a moment and nodded, 『But this is not the main reason... The King of Qin only sent five hundred cyclic vehicles in the end. Is this number actually not large, so the King of Qin's main force is still defending Jin...』

Fei Zhen thought about it, and suddenly clapped her hands and said, "Does the King of Qin want to see what else can he get?!"

Fei Qian nodded and said, "The King of Qin must measure the gains and losses of his reinforcements... If you can get something from the state of Chu, it is of course worth the King of Qin to pay more... And obviously, Shen Baoxu is unwilling to give it, or he can't afford it... Well, since there is no additional benefit to the King of Qin, what is the reason why the King of Qin decided to send troops in the end? Or to be precise, it is the reason why the King of Qin agreed to send troops in the end, rather than continuing to drag it out... Of course, I hope you can look at the overall situation and jump out and see...

"Jump out?" Fei Zhen was a little confused.

"It's not Qin, nor the Western Regions..." Fei Qian gestured in the air for a moment, "It's like a giant standing above the vast exodus, looking at its wonders..."

"The giant stands above the ages?" Fei Zhen's eyes shiny.

Fei Qian nodded.

Fei Zhen was thinking, and suddenly a servant came to the hall and reported in a deep voice: "Sima, the chief minister of Dali Temple, asked for a meeting!"
