The Qin and Lianghexi alliance is an alliance within a regional scope formed by Qin and Shaoliang.

The agreement of this alliance is very simple. First, Qin and Shaoliang recognize each other's territory in Hexi and promise to infringe on all their territory. Second, if one of the territory in Hexi is threatened, the other must help with all their strength and repel foreign enemies.

In fact, most people in Liang Mo are opposed to this alliance.

After all, the land of Hexi in Qin occupied the land of Herong Kingdom. Although Herong Kingdom was despised as Rong Kingdom by the Central Plains countries, in essence, it was indeed a country that accepted the culture and traditions of the Central Plains and did not belong to a foreign country. Therefore, according to the Mohist views, Shaoliang did not support Herong's restoration, and at least he could not agree with Qin's occupation of Herong Kingdom or even boycott of Herong Kingdom.

But since this alliance was concluded before Liang Mo was born, and Shao Liang had no choice but to do so, Liang Mo's disciples had to make a decision and one day find a way to terminate the alliance.

Before the alliance was terminated, Shao Liang had to fulfill this alliance. After all, Li He hoped that Shao Liang would gain a good reputation of "keeping promises and respecting promises", so he would have diplomatic relations with other countries in the future.

It has to be said that the Qin-liang and Hexi alliance has always been a key issue that cannot be avoided in the "Wei-Liang relationship". There is an opposing conflict between the two countries in this matter: as long as the Wei army invades Herong Kingdom, Shaoliang has the obligation to help Qin's defense.

In the past year, whenever Xia Yangjun wanted to persuade King Wei to improve his relationship with Shaoliang, Gongsun Yan would bring up this matter, which eventually aroused the indignation of King Wei.

But now, Xia Yang Jun has thought of a solution: Since Shao Liang cannot terminate the Hexi alliance with Qin, he simply bypassed it and completely gave up Hexi. Isn’t this not in opposition and conflict with Shao Liang?

As for the war with Qin, Xia Yangjun also knew that Qin's ambition would never stop at Hexi, but as long as Shao Liang did not intervene and Han did not intervene, with the strength of Wei's Central Plains overlord, could he still be able to defend Hedong?

Some people may ask, what benefits does this have for Wei? If you lose Hexi, you will face Qin at the doorstep of Hedong. Even if you defeat the Qin army, it will be difficult to retake Hexi.

In fact, this is a great benefit. For example, the Wei State can turn the center of the attack to the east and south.

Wei State, which occupied the rich land of the Central Plains, is actually very rich, Song State is also very rich, let alone Qi State.

Although the Chu State in the south is poor and backward, its advantage lies in its vast land. With so many targets to attack for Wei State to choose, does Wei State have to fight to the death with Qin State?

What's more, Wei State occupied Hedong and Qin State occupied Hexi. The two sides used the big river as the boundary, and no one could do anything to each other. This was roughly in line with the balance that Han and Shaoliang wanted. Wei State could use this point to form an alliance with the two countries, promote the "Three Small Jin Alliance" and work together to lock the tiger of Qin in a cage.

During the time of the Communist Party, Qin could only stop in Hexi, while Wei could expand eastward and southward. How could Qin catch up with Wei in more than ten or twenty years?

At the beginning, the King of Wei leaned towards Gongsun Yan's proposal and was unwilling to adopt Xiayangjun and Huishi's proposal. However, because Gongsun Yan gradually lost favor, Xiayangjun took the opportunity to mention this matter again. King of Wei thought about it carefully and found that this is true: Why did Wei fight to the death with Qin in order to regain Hexi? Isn't it good to divide the Wei Kingdom with Zhao? Isn't it good to divide the Song Kingdom with Han? The land of Song and Wei Kingdom is much richer than that of Qin.

"…Xia Yang Jun said in front of this Mo Tu, what to do to divide the Song and Wei countries, this is probably not appropriate."

When Xia Yang Jun said to Li He and Mo Jian to the King of Wei without any concealment, Juzi's expression became a little strange.

Xia Yangjun quickly bowed and apologized, and said with a smile: "Just just to persuade our king, it is not an offense to the Mo family. Please forgive me."

Mo Jian looked at Xia Yangjun and did not believe that Xia Yangjun's words were just to convince the King of Wei. After all, since Wei gave up Hexi, he would definitely invade other countries.

However, he didn't want to destroy the current good atmosphere and make Li He embarrassed, so he didn't go into it in depth.

Noting that Xia Yang's words made Mo Jian a little unhappy, Li He changed the topic at the right time: "The Little Three Jin Alliance... Gongsun Yan did not stop it?"

Xia Yangjun sneered: "A while ago, he forced to promote the alliance of the Three Jins and took two princes from Zhao to South Korea, which angered the Marquis of Han, causing the relationship between Wei and South Korea to deteriorate. The king was furious about this and scolded him. I thought that he, the prime minister, would not be able to be a minister for long."

"So that's it." Li He nodded slightly.

Of course he knew that Qin had cheated Gongsun Yan. Of course, Qin did not target Gongsun Yan, but wanted to alienate Wei and Han and promote a "Qin, Han and Liang Three Kingdoms Alliance". As a result, this matter was not done, but he accidentally cheated Gongsun Yan, which proved the infeasibility of the "Three Jin Alliance".

Since the Three Jin Alliance was not feasible, the Wei Kingdom could only adopt the "Missive Three Jin Alliance" advocated by Xia Yang Jun and Hui Shi.

"Congratulations to Xia Yangjun in advance for his favor to the position of Prime Minister Wei?" Li He smiled and bowed to Xia Yangjun.

Of course, he also tended to be the Prime Minister of Wei by Xia Yang. After all, Xia Yang was a Wei minister of the "Shao Liang Sect". If this person became the Prime Minister of Wei, it means that the relationship between Wei and his Shao Liang will quickly recover. If the attitude of Qin is not considered, this is of course a good thing for Shao Liang.

"Where are there." Xia Yangjun waved his hand modestly: "In fact, I have never thought of becoming Wei Xiang. I originally wanted to recommend Hui Shi, but Hui Shi is too young, so I plan to let him temper for a year or two before recommending him as the prime minister..."

When Mr. Xia Yang looked as if he had become Wei Xiang, Li He couldn't laugh or cry.

Hui Shi was a disciple of Xia Yangjun. He is currently serving as an envoy in Shaoliang. He is undoubtedly a Wei minister who is close to Shaoliang. If this person can become the Prime Minister of Wei, it will be not much different from Xia Yangjun becoming Wei, which is very beneficial to Shaoliang.

Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Li He smiled and said, "It's getting late, so why don't we wait and have a meal first?"

Xia Yangjun smiled and nodded, "I asked people to prepare fried fish when I was in Daliang, but I always felt that I didn't taste as good as Shaoliang..."

This was purely politeness. Li He smiled but said nothing, ordered people to prepare wine and food, and asked Hui Shi to come and have dinner together.

Soon, Hu Yue and several other Hu girls served the newly brewed wines made by Li He and others, as well as the granules marinated with wine lees and chickens as the starter for wine.

The moment it was served, the smell of wine suddenly burst into the house.

Xia Yangjun was shocked and picked up a piece of slag with chopsticks and asked in surprise: "What is this? Why does it have such a strong aroma of wine?"

Li He smiled and explained: "This is the trash marinated with wine lees."

"Drink lees?" Xia Yangjun of course knew what the wine lees were, and asked in surprise: "Jiao Liang was making wine recently? How much has he brewed?"

It’s not that he was so surprised. After all, Shaoliang’s grain production and income could only barely support more than 300,000 citizens under the premise of the rationing system, and it was far from affluent. With Xia Yangjun’s understanding of Li He, Li He should not brew a lot of wine under such circumstances.

He didn't know that Shaoliang had already obtained a loan of 30 million Qidao from Qi State, which was equivalent to 7 million to 10 million shi of grain. With so much grain, it would be okay to brew some wine.

Of course, Li He did not intend to tell Wei about this matter. Although Wei would know sooner or later, he pointed to the small wine jar in front of Xia Yangjun and smiled: "So I said Xia Yangjun was a coincidence. The wine in this jar was the wine I asked someone to brew. Xia Yangjun might as well try it."

As he said that, he picked up the wine jar and poured four bowls.

Looking at the clear wine in the bowl, Xia Yangjun was surprised: "Don't you need to cook it before drinking it?"

"No need." Li He raised his hand and persuaded him to drink: "Hayang Jun tasted it."

Xia Yangjun was amazed, picked up the wine bowl and sniffed it, and suddenly felt the aroma of the wine. After taking a sip, he felt that the wine was smooth and smooth, just like a clear spring, with almost no impurities in the wine, which was very different from the wine I had imagined in the past.

He asked in surprise: "This wine is very strange, I don't know how it is brewed?"

Looking at Mo Jian, Li He smiled and said, "This is the brewing method developed by my Shaoliang. I plan to use this product as a specialty of my Shaoliang. I am sorry that I can't tell Xia Yangjun... Of course, if Xia Yangjun thinks it is acceptable, I can ask someone to prepare some for Xia Yangjun." After a pause, he looked at Xia Yangjun and said sincerely: "Use the friendship between Xia Yangjun and I Shaoliang, you can drink as much as you want in the future."

Xia Yang Jun nodded slightly, feeling a little moved and relieved, not because of these drinks, but because of the friendship between Shaoliang.

Li He didn't say anything more. After all, it's enough to stop talking. If you say too much, it's just a burden. So he smiled and said, "Mr. Xia Yang tastes this terrible meat and chicken again. This is also my new dish for Shaoliang. It's very delicious."

"If you hadn't advised me to drink, I would have wanted to taste it."

Xia Yangjun smiled and picked up the piece of trash and put it in his mouth to chew it. It turned out to be a saliva for the mouth and it was very delicious.

Not long after, Hui Shi was invited to come and saw that Li He, Mo Jian, and Xia Yangjun were already drinking, and the atmosphere was very hot. He also smiled and greeted him: "Three of you are so interested, it's too late to get down."

Xia Yangjun waved his hand repeatedly: "Hui Shi, come and taste this new wine, this terrible chicken."

Hui Shi bowed and thanked her, took the opportunity to go to the table, and said with a smile: "I have tasted it long ago. On the day when the new wine was opened, Dr. Ziliang sent someone to give it to the next bottle and asked someone to bring more than ten kilograms of lees to teach me how to marinate the lees, and I marinated four or five clay pots in my residence."

“…”

Xia Yangjun opened his eyes wide, and he suddenly felt that the envoy to Shaoliang seemed to be a good job.

Then, while eating and drinking, everyone talked about sending troops to expel Lin Hu. When Xia Yangjun asked Shaoliang casually when the troops were sent, Li He thought for a while and replied: "... The autumn harvest is approaching, and it is impossible to send many troops. Let's do this. Send 3,000 people to Xihe first. Wait a few days later, and then add troops..."

"Three thousand people?" Xia Yangjun, who was slightly drunk on the ground, frowned slightly and said tactfully: "Is this a little..."

"Three thousand young Liang Qibing soldiers." Li He added with a smile.

“…”

Xia Yang Jun was shocked and almost spilled out the wine from the wine bowl in his hand, looking at Li He in amazement: "More, how much?"

"Three thousand." Li He affirmed again.

Xia Yang Jun gasped in a belated breath. Even though he knew that his relationship with Shao Liang would get better and better in the future, he couldn't help but feel a little chill on his back.

I don’t know if I was drunk or really scared, but he asked intermittently: “Shaoliang, there are already three thousand surprise soldiers?”

Li He smiled but said nothing.

He did have three thousand outstanding soldiers in Shaoliang, but nearly two thousand of them were new soldiers who had only been trained for half a year, and nearly one thousand of them were Han soldiers.

Of course this is nothing. Before delivering it to South Korea, Shao Liang first used this batch of Korean surprise soldiers they trained by themselves. What's the big deal? After all, actual combat can be better than training.

If you wait for one or two years and then let these people return to South Korea, the South Korean will not be dissatisfied, but will praise Shao Liang for being responsible. From training to actual combat, you can directly form combat power.

By the way, Li He also wanted to take the opportunity to scare Wei State so that Wei State could treat Shaoliang equally.

But as far as we look at it, it is unknown whether Wei State can be scared. Xia Yang Jun was scared, with his eyes wide open and his face full of horror.
