Chapter 311: Han Fei and the Plan of the Staff Office (First Update)
To be honest, if you simply want to trap the enemy, it is not too difficult, as long as the IQ is higher than the enemy.
If you simply want to pit allies, the same is true.
But if you want to trap allies and enemies together like the strategy proposed by Han Fei, this is much more difficult.
And this time it's not just two people to calculate, it's two countries!
What kind of advice can Han Fei put forward to help Zhao Dan calculate these two countries together?
Zhao Dan is looking forward to it.
Facing Zhao Dan's question, Han Fei hurriedly took out a letter and respectfully handed it to Zhao Dan.
"Please, please take a look."
Zhao Dan was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.
is so stingy, this Han Fei can be regarded as knowing his shortcomings, so he simply didn't speak, and directly wrote his opinions in this piece and submitted them to Zhao Dan.
Zhao Dan took the piece and read it carefully.
"Han Fei and his colleagues from the General Staff Office salute the king:
If the king wants to sweep the Liuhe Eight Desolations, his vision cannot be confined to this battle, and all those who are Qin and Chu are the enemies of Zhao to dominate the world. Therefore, this battle should not be based on taking Hedong, but on breaking Qin's fatigue. ”
When Zhao Dan saw this, his eyes lit up.
It can be seen from this sentence that Han Fei's idea was not improvised, but he and his people in the staff office worked together to make it.
This is exactly what Zhao Dan wants to see.
Thinking of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help but glance at Han Fei with appreciation, it seems that this Han Fei's work is indeed good.
Zhao Dan continued to watch.
Therefore, the key to the current battle situation is not in Hedong, but in Nanyang County, and in the front line of Qinchuwancheng. If Qin and Chu of Nanyang County were both defeated, then Zhao State would be able to profit from it. ”
"If this is the case, then the battle of Hedong County does not need to be in a hurry, General Lian Po led the Sanjin coalition army to maintain the oppression of the Qin army in Hedong, besieging but not attacking."
"In this way, in order to solve the crisis in Hedong, Qin Wangji must order Nanyang Wang Ji and Wang Lingbu to attack with all their might, in order to quickly defeat the Chu army, and then return to the division to rescue Hedong."
"The king can send lobbyists into Chu again, saying that Hedong will not be able to go down soon, and the Qin army will be forced to retreat to Guanzhong. In this way, in order to protect the two counties in the southeast and south, the Chu State must go all out to deal with the Qin State. ”
"In this way, there must be a big war between Qin and Chu, if a big war starts, it is not necessary to say that the loser will lose, and the winner will also suffer heavy losses."
"When Qin and Chu are in a full-scale war, the king can order the Three Jin Coalition to attack Hedong with all their might, and if everything goes well, then when Hedong is broken, it is also the time when Qin and Chu will win and lose."
"In this way, Qin and Chu are both defeated, and Zhao has to occupy Hedong, isn't it the best of both worlds? Please think about it. ”
After Zhao Dan finished reading, his fingers lightly tapped on the table, and he did not speak immediately.
The opinion put forward by Han Fei and the General Staff Office, Zhao Dan, has now been clarified, that is, to start from both military and diplomatic aspects.
On the military side, General Lian Po led the alliance of the three counties to maintain strong pressure on the Qin army in Hedong County, so that the Qin army in Hedong County was forced to ask for help from the Qin king.
In this way, unless Qin Wangji no longer wants Hedong County, he will definitely urge the main force of the Qin army in Nanyang County to launch an attack as soon as possible and defeat the Jingyang Department of the Western Front of Chu State.
In terms of diplomacy, Zhao sent an envoy to meet with Chu Wangyuan to calm Chu Wangyuan's mind.
As long as Chu Wangyuan is convinced that the Chu State will win if it persists, then considering the significance of Nanyang and Nanjun, especially Yingdu in the Nanjun, to the Chu State, Chu Wangyuan will definitely not agree to negotiate peace.
In this way, there is no basis for peace talks between Qin and Chu, and a major war is inevitable.
As long as there is a big war between Qin and Chu, then no matter who wins or loses, it will be great good news for Zhao State.
The more Zhao Dan thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was very good, once it succeeded, it would weaken the two great powers of Qin and Chu in one fell swoop, and for Zhao State, it was simply a perfect reproduction of the invincible operation of Qi State in encircling Wei and saving Zhao.
However, the benefits must come with risks, if this plan goes wrong, allowing the main force of the Qin army to defeat the Chu army and then return to Hedong in time, then the situation may be reversed by the Qin state in an instant.
The most important thing is to grasp the timing.
If Zhao defeated Hedong too early, then Qin Wangji might be forced to negotiate peace with Chu and withdraw his troops, and the effect of losing both sides would be gone.
If it is too late, maybe the Qin people will come back in time.
Therefore, the main force of the Three Jin Coalition led by Lian Po must defeat the defenders of Hedong County of Qin State in one fell swoop at the same time as the outbreak of the all-out war between Qin and Chu, and completely establish the victory in the direction of Hedong before Qin and Chu divide the victory.
Can Lian Po do this?
Zhao Dan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Miao Qing, quickly summon the ministers into the palace to discuss matters." ”
After all, this plan was too risky, and Zhao Dan felt that he still couldn't make a rash decision, and he had to listen to the opinions of the other ministers before making a decision.
Zhao Dan thought for a while, and then said to Han Fei: "Han Shizhong, you will also attend the meeting to be present." ”
Han Fei was excited in his heart and responded loudly.
The four ministers of Zhao State soon gathered in Longtai.
After circulating the copy presented by Han Fei and asking Han Fei a few questions, the ministers of Zhao State present fell into deep thought.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
Zhao Dan glanced at the ministers and asked, "What do you think?" ”
Several ministers of the Zhao State looked at each other, and they all saw the hesitation on the faces of the others.
To be honest, it wasn't a good decision.
If the original attack on Hedong County was a big gamble, then this time if you really do it according to the plan of Han Fei and the General Staff, then the direct gamble will directly become a gamble again.
This kind of tightrope walking plan will collapse if you are not careful.
After a while, Si Kou Zhao Bao took the lead and said, "My lord, the minister thinks that this plan is too risky, and it is really not advisable. ”
Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Bao, but he was not too surprised.
Although Zhao Bao occasionally gets carried away, most of the time he is still more cautious, and it is natural that he does not like such an overly radical plan.
To Zhao Dan's surprise, the first one besides agreeing was not Yu Xin, but Xiangbang Zhao Sheng.
"King, in the opinion of the minister, this plan should be feasible!" Zhao Sheng said with great certainty.
Before the Battle of Changping, Zhao Sheng insisted on taking Shangdang County, and this time the adventurous gene in the body of this Zhao State Prime Minister seemed to be ready to move again.
Unexpectedly, Li Bo also immediately agreed: "King, if this plan succeeds, then you can break Qin and be tired, it is really a rare opportunity!" ”
Yu Xin said directly: "The king, the minister is willing to send Chen Ying as the envoy to persuade Chu Wang Yuan for the king!" ”
Three to one, a vote that surprised Zhao Dan a little, the number of votes of the radicals has completely overwhelmed the conservatives.
However, this is not surprising, after all, after the successive victories, the ministers of Zhao State have become more confident, and they are naturally more willing to choose risky solutions.
It's a little swollen.
But this kind of expansion seems to have not reached the point where everything is empty, so the strong self-confidence brought by a slight expansion is really what Zhao Dan is happy to see.
So Zhao Dan no longer hesitated, and made a decision: "Since this is the case, then start preparing according to the plan of the staff office!" ”
