Chapter 270: Determination

King Yiqu looked at Gongsun Yan puzzled: "Rhino head, now the 50,000 army led by Yu Liji is in Xunyi in the south, if the widow sends troops to the south, he will inevitably be attacked head-on by Zhu Liji, and he will undoubtedly kill himself." If the army is sent to the east, with the current army of Yiqu, I am afraid that it will be difficult to conquer the county seat of Shangxian County, and then it will be bloody in front of the city, which is self-defeating. โ€

"Moreover, if the army runs into a wall in Shangjun, and then the country is empty, and then the army is led to attack, what should the widow do? The result is nothing more than no gain in the east, and the country is afraid that it will be ravaged by the Qin state, which is a loss of both. โ€

Gongsun Yan said with a smile: "Dare to ask the king, the minister has an inquiry, and after the envoy of the Qin State made peace with the king, was the king urging the Qin envoy to leave as soon as possible, so that the Qin State and the Yiqu State could reach a reconciliation?" โ€

King Yiqu smiled bitterly: "In this situation, it's too late for the widow to entertain the Qin envoy, how can he take the initiative to drive the Qin envoy away!" โ€

Gongsun Yan had an unbelievable expression: "The king, the minister thinks the same way, but the king is in the game, I don't know if you have ever thought about it, why do the envoys of the Qin State come and go in a hurry?" โ€

"This..." King Yiqu was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something.

Gongsun Yan smiled and said, "Great King, the reason why the envoy of the Qin State is like this is because the Yiqu State is in a hurry for peace talks, but the Qin State is even more anxious. โ€

"Although the Qin State defeated Yiqu, the east is still under siege, and the way of using troops is not expensive for a long time. Moreover, the place where the five kingdoms are now storming, Shaoliang and Fushi, were the lands of Wei and Zhao before, and if Wei and Zhao rebelled against Baixin in the two places, then Qin would be defeated without a fight. โ€

"The most important thing is that although he defeated Yiqu, it did not change the problem of insufficient troops in his hands. It is feasible for 50,000 Qin troops to conquer Xunyi, but if they want to attack Yiqu City, then even if Yiqu City is insufficient, it still needs 100,000 elite Qin troops. โ€

"Now Lijian is besieging Xunyi but not attacking, and he is anxious to force Yiqu to surrender, all because of lack of strength."

"Therefore, even if the king sends the remaining elites in the country to attack Shangjun, then not only will the city not send troops to attack the fortified city that cannot be conquered in a short time, but will also quickly go to the rescue of Shangjun, so the king does not have to worry about the problem of Yiqu being attacked by the county at all."

King Yiqu then asked: "Rhino head, even if the widows are not worried about the country, then how can these small armies with only a small number of troops who have lost their military spirit be able to conquer the county seat of Shangjun?" โ€

Gongsun Yan shook his head and sighed, and said in a hurry: "King, when is it now, why are you still thinking about grabbing territory, the most important thing now is to let the Qi Zhao coalition army cross the river, and let Zhao and Qin fight each other to solve the crisis of the loss of the country, and other treasures of the territory are all irrelevant to the king." โ€

"As long as Yiqu Country can take a breath of relief, then for the king, this is the biggest benefit."

"Besides, if the Qin State is defeated by the Five Nations Alliance, why should the king care about those cities in Shangjun, and go south to surrender the lost land, this is the right way!"

King Yiqu was shocked: "Does the rhino head mean that regardless of the city of Shangjun, he will directly kill the place where Qin and Zhao will fight?" โ€

"Hmm!" Gongsun Yan nodded.

"However, what if the matter is not completed and the Qi Zhao army fails to cross the river."

Gongsun Yan said lightly: "If the Qi and Zhao coalition forces fail to cross the river, then the Yiqu Kingdom will be finished." โ€

King Yiqu was momentarily stunned: "ยทยทยทยทยทยท"

He was stunned for a while before he said: "Indeed, if the Qi and Zhao coalition forces fail to cross the river, the widow is indeed finished." โ€

As he spoke, King Yiqu lowered his head, closed his eyes, and fell into a struggle.

On the one hand, if the Qin State is temporarily stabilized now, maybe the Qin State will have a cramp in his head, and he will let the Yiqu State go afterwards.

On the other side, it is to continue to attack the Qin State and fight to the death.

ยทยทยทยทยทยท

After a long time, King Yiqu raised his head and said, "Rhino Head, if the widow entrusts the army to you, can you take the Qi and Zhao coalition forces across the river?" โ€

Gongsun Yan shook his head when he heard this, and said solemnly: "King, Yiqu is not the Three Jins, the soldiers don't believe it, if the ministers lead the troops away, I'm afraid there will be twists and turns." At the suggestion of the minister, the king should go in person. โ€

King Yiqu shook his head and said, "The widow can't go, if the widow leaves Yiqu City, then the people in the city will definitely think that the widow abandoned them and slipped away." At that time, if the Yuli comes to attack, I am afraid that the Yiqu Kingdom will be scattered. โ€

"As for those generals in the country, they are already afraid of Qin like a tiger, and letting them lead the army to attack the Qin State is undoubtedly a sheep's mouth, maybe they haven't entered the Qin State yet, they ran away first, and then the army will collapse."

"The widow has thought about it again and again, and now I am afraid that the only one who can take on this important task is you."

Gongsun Yan was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then solemnly arched his hand and said: "King, the minister is willing to go to meet the Qi and Zhao coalition forces, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become benevolent." โ€

"Okay." King Yiqu praised and said, "Rhino head, you..."

King Yiqu wanted to ask Gongsun Yan how many troops he needed, but when he thought that he didn't have many troops in his hands, he changed his words and said: "Rhino head, the widow is willing to hand over all the elites in the country to you..."

Then, King Yiqu paused before saying, "The widow has nothing to ask for, but to listen to the destiny of heaven as much as he wants, and resign himself to his fate." โ€

Gongsun Yan saluted when he heard this.

After Gongsun Yan got up, King Yiqu asked, "Rhino Head, what do you need to do now?" โ€

Gongsun Yan cleared his throat and said: "Great King, the most important thing to do at the moment is to recall the troops scattered in various places, in addition, the peace with the Qin State cannot be stopped, it needs to delay time, and paralyze the Qin State." โ€

"In addition, immediately send an envoy from Zhao State to contact Zhao State, there are 100,000 Qin troops gathered in Fushi County, if it is only with the current Yiqu State, attacking Shangjun will undoubtedly hit the stone with eggs, and it is necessary to let the Qi and Zhao coalition forces rush to attack the river, so that there is a possibility that something can be done."

"Also, try to recruit horses from all over the country, this operation needs to be fast and slow, and be sure to meet the coalition forces to cross the river before they rush to Shangjun."

King Yiqu nodded, and shouted outward: "Order, let the envoy of Zhao come in, the widow wants to see him." โ€

"No."

After Qiu Liquid came in, King Yiqu spoke: "Zhao Envoy, the widow has thought about it again and again, and has decided that he can't sit still, and vows to entangle with the Qin State to the end. โ€

"But now the strength of Yiqu State is insufficient, so the widow is willing to take the prince as a hostage to Zhao, and hopes that the envoy will immediately return to Zhao with the widowed prince, and hopes that the king of Zhao can attack the Qin army on the west bank of the river, and the widow will take the rhino head as the general, and do the best in the country, go to attack Fushi County, attack the rear of the Qin army, and meet the Qi and Zhao coalition forces to cross the river."

When Qiu Ye saw that King Yiqu had decided to fight Qin again, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Yes, Great King." โ€

After the hatred liquid leaves.

King Yiqu issued an order to the country: "Spread the order of the widows, immediately collect the defeated troops in various places, and in addition, recruit soldiers from the country again." Also, collect all the horses for military use. โ€

"Order, close Yiqu City, all people are allowed to enter and not leave, and those who dare to let people out of the city without permission will be beheaded immediately for public display."

After speaking, King Yiqu looked at Gongsun Yan and said, "Rhino head, how is it?" โ€

"It's not enough!" Gongsun Yan shook his head and said, "King, you still have to negotiate peace with the Qin State." โ€
