Zhao Yan laughed heartily for a while, and then explained to the confused minister: "If Chu is allowed to conquer Wei, who will be the next step after Chu becomes powerful?
Qin and Zhao are both large countries with powerful armies. Yan has been driven to the northeast by Zhao. It is barren and weak and has no profit. So, Qi is the most appropriate next target for Chu.
.
Therefore, the King of Qi would never sit back and watch Wei be destroyed by Chu.
When Wei left Daliang, the king of Wei had already sent people to Qi for help. The king could issue a proclamation to the people of the world to list the crimes committed by the king of Chu, unite Qi and Qin, borrow a road from Qin, and ask Qi and Qin to provide military supplies.
, attack Zhao State together, so that our own losses can be minimized."
Zhao Yan put down the wine baron, leaned on the case with his hands on his body, and nodded repeatedly, "Well, for Qi State, things that can be solved with money are small things, sir, and you are right. But this matter has nothing to do with Qin State.
What does it matter? Will the people of Qin obediently give way to me?"
"The king of Qin wants nothing more than to weaken Chu and Zhao. Anyone who might block his way out east will be weakened. If it can lead to a war between Zhao and Chu, he will definitely be happy to see it happen."
"Then I sent troops to attack Chu, wouldn't I be playing into Ying Zheng's hands?"
Dunwei disagreed, "Making strategies is one thing, but executing them on the battlefield is another. Zhao has many famous generals, and its soldiers are not afraid of death. As long as the Chu army can be restrained from advancing, when the time comes, the Chu army will be the only one."
If the troops are withdrawn, there will not be much loss to Zhao State."
"Then what can Zhao, our country, gain from this battle?"
"The first benefit is that Chu State cannot annex Wei State. Secondly, Qi and Qin do not want to get involved in the war but cannot let Chu State become powerful. Zhao State will make this sword, and the king will naturally ask for military supplies.
Open it wider.
Thirdly, as soon as the message of attacking Chu comes out, and all countries have the money and strength to contribute, the king can send people to ask for help from the Wei State and go to the Yan State again to invite them with great righteousness. According to the situation of the Yan State... Haha~"
There was no need to hesitate to continue, Zhao Yan knew what to do next. He stood up with his support on the chopping board, "You scholars are really full of bad things, hahaha! Come on, I will honor you again."
Please join me in showing respect for your talent!"
When the ministers of the State of Zhao saw that the king was like this, they all toasted to Dun Ruo in a decent manner, "To Sir, for your talent."
The guests and hosts were enjoying themselves in the main hall for a while.
When the banquet was over, Zhao Yan left Prime Minister Guo Kai alone.
"Guo Kai, what do you know about this Dunwei? This man has profound intelligence and scheming. How can he be just a minor guest in the Wei Dynasty's court?"
Guo Kai was stunned when he heard this, "Your Majesty, does this old man have a problem?"
Zhao Yan stroked the beard on his chin, his brows furrowed and raised, "Everything he has said so far is in line with the interests of our Zhao country, but I always have some doubts in my heart, oh, I can't tell."
Guo Kai lowered his body and lowered his voice to ask for orders: "Your Majesty, I will send people to investigate his past secretly, and send more people to monitor him secretly."
"Yes, yes, yes, go, go, I want to know all his deeds in Wei. As for surveillance, don't go too far, lest you hate him."
"yes."
"Okay, go ahead, it's none of your business."
"Hey, I'll take my leave."
Looking at Guo Kai's back bowing and exiting, Zhao Yan put his hands on his hips and took a deep breath, "Dun Rui, you, Ying Zheng, didn't detain such a talented person, why don't you believe it..."
Although King Zhao still cannot completely trust Dunwei, at present, the strategy proposed by the other party is completely implementable.
So he quickly stopped worrying about this issue and shouted directly, "Come here, call me Pang Nuan and General Lecheng."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
Zhao State began to take action, and Ying Zheng, who was in Xianyang, soon received the credentials from Zhao Yan.
After reading the silk book, he threw it aside and said, "Hahaha, gentlemen, Zhao Yan has sent me a letter. In the letter, he invites me, the Qin State, to join his Zhao State to uphold justice for heaven and fight against this cruel Chu State. What are you talking about with a gun and a stick? If Qin is afraid of Chu, we only need to make way for Zhao Jun, and Chu Jun will be left to Zhao Jun to deal with."
Lu Yan, Wei Zhuang, Wang Wan, Xiong Qi, Li Si, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Yang Duanhe, Meng Tian, Li Xin, the most important civil servants and generals of Qin State are all gathered here. Wang Ben is now the commander-in-chief of Lishan Camp. Not in Xianyang for the time being. By the way, we also need to add Ke Qing Liao, who has already attracted the attention of King Qin.
Li Xin clenched his fist tightly and waved it twice, as if he was beating Dunwei to vent his anger, "Zhao Guo really sent troops? That old man Dunwei is quite capable. He actually persuaded King Zhao."
Ying Zheng stood up and turned around to look at the map of the Three Jin Dynasties. He said: "Zhao Yan not only sent a letter to me, he also sent a document to the world, listing a lot of crimes for Xiong Han, asking Qin, Qi, Yan, Zhao, and the four countries to work together." Attack Chu."
Everyone also looked at the current situation of the Warring States Period. Xiong Qi said: "No matter what, Xiong Han successively destroyed the country Zuo and destroyed the country, and it has indeed become the target of public criticism in the world. King Zhao's move is in line with the aspirations of the people in the world. However, It’s probably impossible to unite the four countries.”
Liao nodded in agreement: "What Chang Ping Jun said is reasonable. Yan State has no strength to fight. Qi State probably doesn't want to fight. Only Zhao Yan shouted the most actively."
Li Xin couldn't wait any longer, "Your Majesty, what should we do?"
Ying Zheng sneered, "Oh, Zhao Yan even asked me for money and food. He is really greedy. According to the previously agreed strategy, if Zhao wants to fight, let him fight, and I will make way for him. As for what Zhao Yan asked for If you argue with him about money and food, I won’t give you a penny.”
When Wang Wan heard this, he almost didn't react, "Well, this... Your Majesty, is this..."
Ying Zheng said to this somewhat honest man among the capable ministers: "Don't worry, I have a benevolent heart and can donate part of the money and food to Wei. Then Zhao Yan will have nothing to say."
Liao decisively gave a modest compliment, "Your Majesty, this is wise and kills two birds with one stone. Zhao Yan cannot get money or food from our Qin State, so he has no choice but to talk to the Qi State."
Wang Jian stared at the map behind him for a long time and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, although King Zhao has already sent troops, he must have calculated that the Chu State would not fight him for a long time and delay the spring planting, and intended to repel the Chu State at the minimum cost.
.If Zhao Jun really succeeds, our goal of consuming Chu and Zhao will be far from accomplished."
Meng Wu thought about Wang Jian's concerns and then said: "Although the Zhao army is led by Le Cheng this time, the bravery of the Thunder Leopard Legion should not be underestimated. It is unlikely that Le Cheng will easily defeat the heroic troops.
.”
Lu Yan slapped his thigh upon hearing this, "General Wang Jian's concerns are still possible. No one in Chu State takes Wei State seriously, and everyone only focuses on the fruitful fruits of annexing Wei State. Behind the heroism is
The greedy eyes of countless nobles, large and small, in Chu State.
However, the Zhao army had a reputation for righteousness, and with the help of the Wei state, the Chu army was blinded by the victory. Zhao Jun had calculated in his mind but not in his heart, so it might really be possible for him to succeed.
It is not in Qin's interest for Zhao and Chu to speed up the battle. The two armies are in a stalemate, and our goal is to even drag it into a protracted war."
Ying Zheng took the initiative to ask: "Sir, do you have a way to deal with it?"
"This matter can only be expressed as an idea. To implement it specifically, Master Yueshen will need to use the power of the Yin Yang family to make it happen."
