Chapter 124: Jiuding
Listening to Su Yunqing's words, King Zhaoxiang couldn't help but go to Fan Ju, and sure enough, he saw the old man's black face.
Well, in fact, it's not just Fan Ju, even Bai Qi is also a 'big king, you 484 stupid'.
King Zhaoxiang looked puzzled: "What's the matter?" Can't the widow fight the Wei State? β
Of course, it's not that you can't fight, it's just ......
"Why does the king want to attack Wei first?"
Normally, isn't it persimmon to pick up a soft pinch and hit Korea first? If you can't fight Yan Guo again, why are you competing with Wei Guo?
But King Zhaoxiang has a very good reason: "Why can't the widow fight the Wei State?" The state of Zhao has been defeated, so what can the state of Wei do? β
Obviously, Wei is not as good as Zhao......
Then King Zhaoxiang is very confident no matter which country he attacks after destroying Zhao, and the same is true for attacking Wei.
Although Wei was strong, it was not as good as Zhao, and after Qin annexed Zhao, the country's territory expanded, in this primitive agrarian society, agriculture is the capital of the country, is the embodiment of national strength, and if you want to develop agriculture, you must first have land.
Zhao State is indeed not a fertile country, but this also enhances the strength of Qin, plus Zhao was originally a military power, at this time Qin State in the destruction of Zhao two years after the digestion, the development of the development, the production of the restoration of the production of the fΓΉ, the king of Zhaoxiang has money in his pocket, and there is grain in the warehouse, it is normal to want to fight at this time, and there is also the confidence to fight a tough battle.
Even if this opponent is Wei State.
But being able to win the Wei State does not mean that the Wei State can be destroyed.
King Zhaoxiang, what is this thinking?
Probably King Zhaoxiang's answer was not the point, so Su Yunqing added: "Why is it Wei State?" I mean, why not choose Korea or Yan or something. β
Speaking of this, King Zhaoxiang couldn't understand it: "If the widows capture the Wei State, will Korea have any other choice but to surrender without a fight?" β
The geographical location of Korea is indeed very strange, after the Qin State captured Yewang, half of the land was cut off and had to be sent out of the Shangdang, and now the remaining land is half wrapped in the Wei State, the shape of the Wei State is like a U-shape, Korea is a small part of the concave, and the Wei State has two horns to connect with the Qin State.
Therefore, if the Wei State is destroyed, then after the Qin State occupies the Wei State, Korea will indeed become a country within a country completely surrounded by the Qin State...... Well, it's true that there is no other way but to surrender.
Besides, Fan Ju's strategic plan for King Zhaoxiang was also a long-distance and close attack, and the Wei State completely belonged to the scope of close attack, why couldn't it be fought?
King Zhaoxiang's idea is very beautiful, but in reality it is not realistic at all.
Fan Ju only asked one sentence when he opened his mouth: "Does the king think that if the Qin State attacks Wei, the other four countries will sit idly by?" β
These words made King Zhaoxiang stunned: "Do they still dare to attack?" β
"Naturally, I dare."
Why don't you dare?
The Qin State is too powerful, and the only way for other countries to deal with the Qin State is to join the column, but now one of the main combat forces of the United Column has been destroyed, which has certainly weakened the strength of the United Column, but it has strengthened the determination of the other five countries to join the Zong.
The Qin State even dared to destroy the Zhao State, what else did he dare not do?
In the past, except for a few countries close to the Qin State, such as the Zhao State and the Wei State, they were more concerned about the matter of the alliance, and the other Yan and Qi States played soy sauce most of the time, because they were separated from the Qin State by the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei, and did not directly feel the threat of the Qin State.
Now it's different, the Zhao State has been destroyed, the Yan State is leaning on the Qin State, and the only one who can still bounce in the rear is the Qi State, but is the Qi State really not afraid?
Yan State, Wei State, Chu State, as long as Qin State destroys any of them, it will be close to Qi State, Qi State definitely does not want this kind of thing to happen, plus Qin State and even Zhao State have been destroyed, and the sense of crisis in other countries has risen sharply.
In fact, a few years ago, there was Xin Lingjun in Wei who was bouncing around, wanting to promote the five kingdoms to attack Qin and give Qin a huge blow, it was best to let Qin slump, and it would be better if he could take the opportunity to make Zhao State, which had been annexed by Qin, independent again.
At that time, it took Fan Ju a lot of effort to get this thing done, what provoked tension in the relations between Yan and Qi, what made King Wei jealous and suspicious of Xinlingjun in front of King Wei, appeased South Korea and asked South Korea not to be nervous, etc., even Fan Ju of Chu sent an envoy over, plus Qin State was very low-key in addition to targeting South Korea, which can be regarded as barely calming down this matter.
After all, no matter how much Xinlingjun jumped, he was only Xinlingjun and not King Wei, and King Wei didn't want to fight, and no matter how much Xinlingjun sold Amway, it was useless.
At this time, if King Zhaoxiang attacked Wei and made a posture of destroying the country, King Wei felt the threat and was afraid that he would immediately activate Xinlingjun's plan again, unlike this generation of useless Wei kings, Xinlingjun was very talented, and there were many disciples under him, even the king of Zhao back then had a doorman he placed around, he could even know King Zhao's every move, if Xinlingjun was allowed to be the initiator of the Five Kingdoms, then this operation was completely likely to succeed.
Unlike the King of Wei who avoided Qin and didn't want to provoke Qin, Xinlingjun knew Qin's ambitions, and knew that Qin was the biggest threat, and he had encouraged King Wei to send troops to aid Zhao when Qin and Zhao were in the war, and later it was King Zhaoxiang who threatened to attack whoever dared to help Zhao, King Wei was frightened by his timidity, and then the news of Qin and Zhao's peace talks about withdrawing troops was spread, and Xinlingjun finally stopped.
Therefore, Fan Ju could be sure that as long as the Qin State expressed its intention to attack the Wei State, Xinling Jun would immediately start to act.
But King Zhaoxiang didn't listen to persuasion at all: "Could it be that the widow still doesn't dare to fight because he is afraid of a Wei Wuji?" β
"The King's ......"
"There is no need to say any more," King Zhaoxiang didn't want to hear any explanation at all: "Fan Ju, you are old, but your courage is small, does a little Wei Wuji make you afraid?" β
So Fan Ju sighed and stopped talking.
Su Yunqing looked at King Zhaoxiang and then at Fan Ju, and finally decided to shut up.
This kind of thing cannot be persuaded positively.
If he can be persuaded to stop, King Zhaoxiang will not insist anymore, let alone speak too radically to Fan Ju.
You must know that King Zhaoxiang has always respected and trusted Fan Ju very much, even if Fan Ju is not the prime minister, King Zhaoxiang is still very good to him, but today he openly accused Fan Ju of being cowardly and afraid, obviously he has made up his mind.
Fan Ju obviously knew this, so he stopped persuading, because he couldn't persuade at all, and he couldn't say a few more words to put himself in.
However, the two of them didn't understand it for a while, but they felt that what Fan Ju said was very reasonable.
Li Mu was on Su Yunqing's side, and just as he wanted to speak, Su Yunqing immediately tugged at his sleeve and pulled it violently.
This pulled too hard, even if Li Mudang turned his head to look over, Su Yunqing was not easy to speak, so he glared at him directly, then shook his head, and signaled him not to speak.
Li Mu looked inexplicable, but he was also a smart person in the end, Fan Ju didn't speak, Su Yunqing didn't speak, at this time Su Yunqing shook his head again and signaled him not to speak, obviously it was better not to speak in this matter.
Meng Fu was different, no one pulled him and he immediately spoke.
Well, as soon as he opened his mouth, King Zhaoxiang rebuked him more unceremoniously than Fan Ju, but because of the temper of the soldiers, he refused to admit it, and King Zhaoxiang's anger immediately became even greater.
Su Yunqing coughed dryly: "King, I have something I want to talk about......
King Zhaoxiang glanced at her, his face was very bad, but he still spoke: "Say!" β
King Zhaoxiang felt that Su Yunqing must be pleading with Meng Fu.
As a result, Su Yunqing opened his mouth but did not mention Meng Fu: "The king thinks that destroying Wei is a top priority, but I feel that there is another matter that is more important. β
"Oh? Could it be that you also want to persuade the widow to destroy Han? β
Su Yunqing smiled: "Naturally not, but doesn't the king feel that there are some things that are far more meaningful than the Wei State?" For example, Jiuding? β
King Zhaoxiang was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes changed, he put away his anger, looked at Su Yunqing and said, "Do you know what you're talking about?" β
Su Yunqing was instigating King Zhaoxiang to destroy Zhou.
Although the Zhou royal family has long existed in name only, and the prestige of the Son of Heaven is gone, he is the co-lord of the world and the master of the nominal princes.
Su Yunqing wanted King Zhaoxiang to destroy Zhou at this time, and this kind of mention can be described as bold.
β¦β¦ But this is very much to King Zhaoxiang's appetite.
In fact, King Zhou now has two valuable things, the same is the name of the Son of Heaven, and the same is Jiuding.
The name of the Son of Heaven has no use, but Jiuding has a different meaning.
Everyone knows the story of King Chuzhuang's victory, but King Chuzhuang did not succeed and was blocked back.
And the Qin State is also very related to this, isn't King Wu of Qin just lifting the crown and dying?
To say that Qin has no ambition for Jiuding, who can believe it?
Jiuding represents Kyushu and also represents the world.
Jiuding in this era, and the jade seals of later generations are like this.
King Zhaoxiang was a very ambitious monarch, and the destruction of Zhao made his ambition even more inflated, which was also one of the reasons why he insisted on destroying Wei.
But at this time, Su Yunqing brought up the matter of Jiuding......
Jiuding seems to be less affordable than the land city, but in this era, the temptation of the two is comparable.
Seeing King Zhaoxiang's hesitation, Su Yunqing immediately knew that he had done the right thing, so he continued: "Destroying Zhou is just a matter for the king to move his fingers, wouldn't it be better if the king tried to do something else after he got Jiuding?" β
Getting Jiuding can almost be said to have obtained the supreme symbol of royal power, and this symbol is very easy to obtain, just depends on whether King Zhaoxiang is willing to take it.
In that case, why not?
King Zhaoxiang naturally couldn't refuse such a temptation.
When King Zhaoxiang changed his mind, Su Yunqing couldn't help but look at Fan Ju.
β¦β¦ That's all I can do for you.
Fan Ju: "......"
