Chapter 110: The Strategy
Zhang Yi cleared his throat and said: "King, what can unite countries in this world is not only interests and hatred, but also fear, the world besieges Wei because of fear, and the siege of Qin is also because of fear, and now the world is attacking together, the reason is the same, as long as a country becomes strong, then other countries will be afraid, and they will invariably want to weaken this country." ”
"If the Qi State is defeated, the Qi State will inevitably be weakened, Zhao Wei will capture the territory to the west of the Qi State, and Chu Yue will seize the land in the south of the Qi State, which is predictable."
"Once the Qi State is defeated, it means that the war in the world has entered the next stage, and then I, the Qin State, only need to throw the banner and treasure of the Qin State on the ground, and then the army will withdraw, and then we can declare to the world that the Qin State was defeated by the Chu State, and then we will ask the Chu State to make peace. If Chu agrees, our Qin State can show weakness to Chu State, and if Chu State does not agree, we will close ourselves off, so as to declare to the world the weakness of our Qin State and the strength of Chu State. ”
"Now that the state of Chu is strong enough, it can already defeat the state of Qi and the state of Qin at the same time, if the state of Chu is seizing the land of Huaibei from the state of Qi, then the state of Chu will be even stronger, and such a state of Chu will inevitably make other countries fearful."
"The world is attacking Qi, Chu is the key leader, Qi will inevitably be full of hatred for Chu, and our Qin State was also defeated by Chu State, two countries with the same disease can easily form an alliance. If the Yan State is drawn together, then half of the overall situation of the world's attack on Chu will be formed. ”
"Then our Qin State sent troops to force South Korea, so that Qin and Han were united again, and Qi and Yan coerced and lured Zhao State in the north, as long as Zhao State agreed to besiege Chu State, then the general trend of the world has been achieved."
"If we can win over Wei and Yue and use the vast territory of Chu State, then even if there are millions of heroes, they will face the danger of being divided and divided by all countries in the world. If the two countries do not agree, the world besieging the Chu State will inevitably greatly weaken the Chu State. ”
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he saluted the King of Qin: "Please check it out." ”
King Qin Huiwen nodded one after another, once Zhang Yi's strategy succeeded, I am afraid that the state of Chu will be greatly weakened, even if it does not perish.
Then I thought of the only ally of the Qin State now, the meaning of Zhang Yi's words, that Korea would definitely betray the Qin State.
Thinking of this, King Qin Huiwen asked Zhang Yi: "Xiangguo, can our Qin State keep South Korea as an ally this time." ”
Zhang Yi replied: "Your Majesty, South Korea is weak in small country, and in the past few years, there have been major wars one after another, and the domestic food has been almost consumed. Unless our Qin State can quickly defeat the Chu State, Korea will not last long, and it is only a matter of time before Qin and Chu rebel. ”
When King Qin Huiwen heard this, he no longer talked about Korea, but turned to the southeast and said: "It seems that the widow still needs to prepare some exquisite gifts for the king of Chu, although this battle is not over yet, but the next battle has begun." ”
On that day, the king of Qin was grief-stricken on the top of the main hall because of the loss of his brother, and the whole Qin state was furious and vowed to seek revenge on the state of Chu.
On the third day, the king of Qin left Xianyang with 10,000 Qin troops and went away to look at Danshui.
Korea.
The day after Dr. Shangguan of Chu State arrived in Xinzheng, South Korea.
Uncle Gong said above the main hall: "My lord, now my plan to attack the Chu State by the Qin and Han coalition forces has failed, not only offending the Chu State, but also offending the Zhao and Wei countries, which have been friends with us for generations. Continuing to fight with the Chu State will only make our Korea a victim of the Qin State. Now that the state of Chu is willing to cede land and ask for peace, it is time for us in South Korea to withdraw our troops. ”
Han Xiang Gong Zhong objected: "Great King, this is a conspiracy of the Chu State, if we accept the city of the Chu State and withdraw the troops to make peace, this is a betrayal of the Qin State, and when the Qin State comes to attack us, can we fight against the Qin State?" As for the reinforcements from other countries, I think there will be no difference from a few years ago, and the reinforcements will not come back. ”
King Han Xuan, who was sitting in the position of King Han, watched his two ministers, Gongzhong and Gongshu, quarrel fiercely again, and with a sickly face, he suddenly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and let out a series of violent coughing sounds: "Ahem, cough, cough..."
"King!" Hearing King Han's cough, Uncle Gongzhong immediately stopped arguing and looked at King Han Xuan together, revealing a very concerned look.
Wiping the corners of his mouth with a hand towel, seeing the blood coughed up on the hand towel, King Han Xuan retracted his hand into his sleeve expressionlessly, and reluctantly said: "The widow is tired, this matter will be discussed later, let's stop here today, retreat from the dynasty." ”
Three days later, the news of the Qin prince's personal expedition to Chu came that the morale of the pro-Qin faction in Korea was greatly boosted, and they immediately overwhelmed the other factions and did not withdraw their troops for the time being.
Doctor Shangguan stayed in Xinzheng for ten days, but he was not summoned by the king of Han, and finally he could only send someone back to report to the king of Chu, announcing that the plan to lure Korea was unfavorable at the beginning.
Danshui Chuying.
Xiong Huai looked at the noisy Qin camp opposite, and asked Zhaoju, "Xianqing, has King Qin really arrived in the Qin camp?" ”
Zhao Ju nodded and replied: "Back to the king, that's right, the news from the Qin State that the King of Qin has indeed left Xianyang, and the scouts have reported that the banner of the King of Qin has appeared in the reinforcements of the Qin State. Today, Qin will go out of the camp for thirty miles to greet him, and if he can be treated like this, I am afraid that only the king of Qin will be treated. ”
Xiong Huai's face immediately sank.
The King of Qin personally arrived at the front line, which not only greatly boosted the morale of the Qin army, but also expressed an attitude to the State of Chu that the State of Qin was going to fight to the end with the State of Chu.
It's just that Xiong Huai wondered that King Qin only brought 10,000 reinforcements.
What does King Qin mean by this, and what can 10,000 reinforcements do?
Now with the arrival of feudal lords from all over the Chu State, the strength of the Chu army has exceeded 200,000. And the Qin army's strength of nearly 300,000 still has an advantage over the Chu State, and the 10,000 army on this battlefield is like raindrops falling in a pool, with no obvious effect at all.
If you want to force the Danshui to cross, unless it is 10,000 sailors, 10,000 ordinary Qin troops will have no other role except to be cannon fodder.
Could it be that he came to pick up Gongzihua's body back to Xianyang?
As soon as this idea came out, Xiong Huai denied it, and Gongzihua's identity was not worthy.
Xiong Huai said to Chen Zhen beside him: "Xianqing, this time the King of Qin came to the battlefield with 10,000 Qin troops, what does this mean." If you want to demonstrate to the widow and intimidate the widow, you must at least bring 200,000 Qin troops. ”
"If you don't want to break my Chu State, there is no need for King Qin to come to the front line in person."
Chen Zhen shook his head and replied, "Your Majesty, King Qin's mind is not understandable. 10,000 reinforcements, as if to show weakness, means that the Qin State has given up continuing to attack our Chu State, but the Qin prince came in person, obviously to declare war, and the ministers are stupid, I don't know what the Qin State means. ”
Zhao Ju said: "Great King, no matter what the Qin State wants, as long as our Chu State adheres to the defensive strategy and does not give the Qin State a chance to take advantage of it, we can invalidate the calculation of the Qin State." ”
"Now there are only three places where the Qin State can attack our Chu State, Hanzhong, Wujun, and Danshui. Now that Danshui has the help of the water master, it is difficult for the Qin State to break through the Danshui, and there are still 30,000 elites of Zhao Rat in Hanzhong, which is more than enough to prevent the Qin State. ”
"The last place left, that is the Wu County of my Chu State. Now Sima Cuo is building ships day and night in Bashu, although compared to our Chu State sailors, Sima Cuo's fleet is not worth mentioning at all, but it is undeniable that the Qin State has the ability to go downstream. ”
"If the Qin State wants to sneak attack the Chu State, then the minister guesses that it may be in Wu County."
