Chapter 553: Supporting Zhou State

A hearty laugh appeared on Zou Yan's face. The Yin-Yang School was just a small school and was far from being comparable to those famous schools in the world. No matter what, the Yin-Yang School had a brief moment in the limelight and suppressed other schools.

At least it won't be a problem to get a foothold in Handan University.

"I have already told the Prime Minister about the specific methods, so I won't go into details here. If you are interested, you can ask the Prime Minister about the specific arrangements. Next, we will continue to talk about the Great Nine Provinces..." Zou Yan changed his eyes and brought up the topic.

return.

Everyone suddenly choked and had the urge to yell, then swallowed it hard and sat here with fists clenched and listened to Zou Yan's nonsense.

At this time, the envoys from Zhou for help finally arrived in Handan.

"Everyone, let's talk about whether to support the Zhou Kingdom. If so, how many troops should be sent and who will lead them?" In the palace, the top position was empty. Wei Wuji sat in the first position on the right, looked around and said.

.

Sitting opposite Wei Wuji was none other than Lin Xiangru, an old minister of the State of Zhao.

The other ministers took their seats in turn.

"Support." Zhao Sheng said immediately.

Apart from anything else, the Zhou State still needs to be given face. What's more, the Qin State is still the great enemy of the Zhao State. If the Qin State is allowed to destroy the Zhou State and completely occupy Sanchuan, the threat to the Zhao State will be greatly increased.

"Yes, we should support Zhou State." Lin Xiangru also nodded, there was nothing good to say in containing Qin State.

At that time, the State of Zhao did not dare to offend the State of Qin, so King Zhao Huiwen was obedient.

Now that the State of Zhao is strong, what are you afraid of? Just fight and it will be over. Anyway, we are not fighting in the homeland of the State of Zhao. Even if we beat the State of Zhou into ashes, the State of Zhao will not lose.

When the envoy of Zhou State saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming, he was worried that he would be in trouble, but he didn't expect Zhao State to be so easy to talk to.

Although King Zhao was not here, a group of ministers quickly made up their minds without any hesitation, which is very rare.

"I would like to ask the envoy, who will lead the Qin army? How many troops are there? How many households are there in the royal city, and how many soldiers can be recruited? Is everyone's determination to resist the Qin army firm? In addition to sending envoys to ask for help from our Zhao country, does the Zhou State ask for help?

Other countries sent envoys?" Le Yi looked at the envoys.

His talent is not only effective when leading troops in battle, but can also detect weaknesses and flaws in the enemy's strategic planning, national strength and conditions, the relationship between monarch and ministers, etc.

If used in the opposite direction, you can also see your own weaknesses and flaws, which can be used to check for leaks and make up for shortcomings.

He just used his talent on Zhou Guo once, and then stopped immediately.

There are flaws everywhere in the Zhou Kingdom, and there is no need to check for them and fill them up.

Zhou's only advantage may be its righteousness.

However, each country has been established for hundreds of years, and the people in each country only know about Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin, but not about Zhou.

The great righteousness mastered by Zhou State has no effect.

"I would like to inform you that the Qin army is led by the famous general Wang Lu. There are 50,000 troops in total, and they are very elite. There are still more than 20,000 households in the royal city, and each household can produce two strong men. The Qin country is cruel and unkind, and the people of Zhou are all

My relatives died in the hands of the Qin people, and my heart is full of hatred, and my determination to resist the Qin army is very firm. In addition to asking for help from your country, my country of Zhou has sent envoys from other countries."

The envoy did not hide anything and said whatever he said. The only country in the world that can stop the violent Qin is the Zhao State. This is the only hope of the Zhou State.

Before coming, the Lord of Western Zhou called him aside and told him secretly that he would ask for reinforcements from the State of Zhao no matter what. If the conditions of the State of Zhao were too harsh, he would agree to it for now and talk about other things later.

Lu Zhonglian glanced at the envoy. Being able to recognize Le Yi among so many people clearly meant that he had done his homework.

It has been eight hundred years since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. Even though there is only a small area left, there are still talents working for it.

"How long has it been since the Qin army attacked the city today?" Le Yi continued to ask.

"Until the foreign ministers set out, the Qin army had been stationed outside the city. They used catapults at most and did not organize a large army to attack the city." The envoy said.

"Thank you for your hard work, envoy, please go down and rest first. After our discussion, we will definitely give Zhou Guo a satisfactory answer." Le Yi turned his head.

The envoy looked at Zhao Bao and Zhao Sheng with a prayer on his face. Yesterday he brought a large amount of treasures to visit the two of them, hoping that they could put in a good word for Zhou Guo, and the two agreed.

But at this time, Zhao Bao and Zhao Sheng both lowered their eyebrows, as if they had not seen the messenger.

"No." The messenger had no choice but to surrender.

"Let me tell you my opinion first. The Qin State besieged the city but did not attack. There must be reinforcements in the rear, and the number will not be too small. The royal city is deep and fortified, and it is difficult to defeat it with too few troops. A conservative estimate is that the Qin army has 100,000 troops.

Above. If our country’s support troops are too few, they will not be effective. If our country’s support troops are too many, it will affect next year’s strategic planning.”

Yu Xin was the first to say.

"Actually, the destruction of the Zhou State has little to do with our Zhao State. What we have to do is to use the Zhou State to consume the Qin State's national power as much as possible so that it will have no energy to influence the Zhao State's next strategic plan."

"In addition, in addition to asking for help from Zhao, Zhou also sent envoys to other countries. Not to mention the three kingdoms of Yan, Qi and Chu, South Korea and Wei will definitely support Zhou if nothing unexpected happens. Once Qin takes Sanchuan,

The south can threaten Nanyang of the two countries, the north can seize Wei Hanoi, and the east can threaten Daliang and Xinzheng, the capitals of the two countries. The three rivers are vital to the two countries, and they cannot give up."

"I think it is enough to send a general and ten thousand troops. With two countries on the side and the strength of the royal city, it is enough to hold off the Qin army for several months or even a year. If the Qin army cannot attack for a long time, it will withdraw. If these troops cannot stop the Qin army,

No matter how many troops there are, there is no need. We cannot affect domestic development because of the Zhou Kingdom." Le Yi said slowly.

Zhao State is different from Qin State. All output of Qin State is for military service, and hundreds of thousands of troops can be dispatched at any time.

The advantage is that the military is strong, but the disadvantage is that only the military is strong.

Although Zhao State could do this, the end result would be that the originally prosperous and rapidly developing domestic economy would instantly stagnate or even regress due to the redeployment of a large number of labor forces.

In the end, in order to win, they were forced to follow the same development path as Qin. There is a high probability that Qin will defeat them with their rich experience, and a small probability of defeating them miserably.

This is not the result Zhao Kuo wants.

What he wants is to be crushed without any suspense, a crushing with greater disparity than Qin's crushing of the six countries in history.

Therefore, domestic development is the first priority, followed by containment of Qin.

Moreover, Zhao is not the only one who supports Zhou. If Han and Wei are not stupid, they will definitely support him.

What Le Yi said is right. Apart from Zhou State, the most anxious people about this matter are South Korea and Wei State.

What kind of virtues does Qin have? How can you still not know it after the two countries have been fighting for so many years?
