Chapter 945: A Dilemma

Time passed slowly in the contact between Wei and Korea.

Ten days later, the king of Han, King Wei, met at the tomb of Wei and agreed that Wei would help Korea stabilize the Eastern Zhou State and reattach the Eastern Zhou State to Korea, while Korea would need to attack Chencheng with all its might.

Not long after the Han army attacked Chencheng with all its might, Su Dai, the envoy of Qi, and Zhai Zhang, the envoy of Wei, visited Qin together.

On the main hall of the Qin State, Su Dai and Zhai Zhang, on behalf of the four kingdoms of Qi, Wei, Han and Song, asked the Qin army to attack Chen Cheng with all their strength in a rather earnest tone.

After Su Dai Zhai Zhang left, there was a sudden "bang" in the hall, which startled the ministers.

The ministers looked at the bricks, but it was Qin Wangdang who had just smashed the Wang case with his fist.

At this time, Qin Wang Dang said angrily: "The Eastern Zhou Dynasty is in turmoil, Han Wei will join the alliance, and the Han army outside Chen Cheng has begun to attack Chen Cheng with all its might, is Korea planning to betray the widow?"

Also, Qi and Wei took advantage of the turmoil in South Korea, waited for an opportunity to win over South Korea, and sent envoys to put pressure on the widows, is this a plan to unite the four countries of Qi, Wei, Song and Han to isolate the widows? ”

As he spoke, Qin Wangdang's face showed a look of worry.

Previously, Qin State received the news of the turmoil in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and he thought that Chu was doing something behind it, or that South Korea couldn't hold on, so he directed and acted in a play, and then retreated and returned to China, or Qi and Wei were instigating behind their backs, intending to force South Korea to go all out to attack Chu.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, it had been a period of time since Qin received the news, so Qin could only immediately send Gongsun Zheng to South Korea, stabilizing South Korea while ascertaining the truth and watching the situation.

As a result, because Wei and Han were too close to each other, the envoys sent by the two countries would set out in the morning and arrive in the afternoon, and if they hurried overnight, they would receive the news the next morning.

Therefore, Gongsun Zheng set out from Xianyang and had just arrived in Xinzheng, South Korea, where the Wei king and the king of Han had already concluded the alliance and reached an agreement on the affairs of the Eastern Zhou.

Therefore, Gongsun Zheng came and went in a hurry, and all the time was spent on the road, and nothing was done.

The same treatment as Gongsun Zheng was also the envoy of Qi State, Su Dai, and when he hurried to Daliang, Wei and Han had already negotiated.

However, after that, Wei said that Su Dai moved, and then Su Dai and Zhai Zhang went to Qin State together...

Although Su Dai and Zhai Zhang's tone was quite sincere just now, they politely asked Qin to step up their attack on Chen Cheng, but Su Dai and Zhai Zhang told the four countries to unify their actions and increase the intensity of their attack on Chen Cheng, which in itself was a serious warning to Qin State.

If the Qin State is consistent with the Four Kingdoms, if the Qin army continues to mess around outside Chencheng, I am afraid that the Four Kingdoms will leave the Qin State, and even after the Chu War, the Four Kingdoms will bite the Qin State back.

This is not that King Qin is disturbing himself, but that he has been listed several times before.

Thinking about it, the worry on Qin Wangdang's face deepened.

At this time, Gan Mao saw that King Qin's tone was angry and worried, and he was very clear about King Qin's worries in his heart.

What the king of Qin was worried about was not that Qi and Wei exerted pressure on Qin, let alone that Su Dai Zhai Zhang had a tough attitude, but that he was worried that Korea would alienate Qin and mix with Qi and Wei.

The state of Qin has been isolated since the beginning of the kings, before it was the state of Chu that joined forces, and the state of Chu united with the three Jin to blockade the state of Qin, leaving the state of Qin trapped in the pass and unable to move.

Now, the alliance has finally collapsed, and the countries have been fighting against the state of Chu.

As a result, the Qin State was going to be united by the Qi State and the Three Jins, and it would continue to be isolated and blocked, which was absolutely unacceptable to the Qin State.

Also, this time the Qin State sent troops to attack Chendi, and the purpose of weakening the Chu State was to weaken the Chu State, and the more important purpose was for Korea, in order to tie Korea to the chariot of the Qin State and break through the blockade of various countries.

If Korea was co-opted by Qi and Wei, then what was the point of Qin sending troops to attack Chu?

Weaken the state of Chu?

In terms of the topography of Chu and Qin, the threat of Chu to Qin is not serious now.

Then, Gan Mao remembered that in the past two years, the Chu State had continuously sent him treasures, although the Chu State did not specifically say what he wanted, but he knew that the most important purpose of the Chu State was to ask him to speak for the Chu State and let the Qin and Chu countries reconcile.

Because the time was not ripe before, although Gan Mao accepted the gift from Chu State, he never spoke.

Now that the time is ripe, he doesn't mind being a favor.

Thinking about it, Gan Mao immediately arched his hand and said: "Great King, this time Qi and Wei made a move against our Qin State's ally South Korea, forcing South Korea to attack Chencheng with all their might, although the attack on Chu is the common goal of our five countries, but Qi and Wei persecuted South Korea, but they regarded our Qin State as nothing, and did not take our Qin State in their eyes at all.

Also, on the Korean side, although King Han and Han Chen have repeatedly assured us that South Korea has launched a strong attack on Chendi, this will not affect the relations between Qin and Han. However, the fact that South Korea did not align itself with our Qin State and moved closer to Wei State is a serious threat to the relations between our Qin and South Korea.

Now because of the invasion of Chu, the four kingdoms of Qi, Wei, Han and Song still need the support of our Qin State, and they don't want our Qin State to attack Wei and Han behind their backs, so South Korea still relies on our Qin State, and Qi and Wei have not forced Korea to break with Qin.

However, the minister was worried that after the five kingdoms broke the Chu state, and after the four kingdoms no longer needed the Qin state, at that time, Korea would inevitably break with our Qin state with the support of Qi and Wei. ”

As he spoke, Gan Mao bowed and said, "Please check the king." ”

Qin Wangdang listened to Gan Mao's remarks and nodded thoughtfully.

When the Chu State was defeated, the five states divided the land of the Chu State, of which the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Song would directly obtain land from Chu, while Qin would cut land from Wei and Han.

It's just that when that time comes, if Wei and Han rebel and don't plan to cede land to Qin, and Qi, Wei, Han and Song join forces, then Qin will lose a lot.

"The king, the minister thinks that the prime minister's words are bad."

Qin Wangdang was thinking about it, when a voice suddenly sounded in the hall, Qin Wangdang turned his head to look, but it was Zuo Prime Minister Lou slow.

"I don't know why Prime Minister Zuo taught the widow?"

Lou Shu heard Qin Wangdang's inquiry, and sighed slightly in his heart, although he also saw that now King Qin was full of hesitation about whether to continue to attack Chu, but as a courtier from Zhao Guolai, he couldn't help but plan for Zhao Guo.

Now that Zhao's war against Zhongshan is at the most critical moment, if Qin withdraws from the War-Chu Alliance now, or even attacks Wei and Han from behind, so that the Lianheng Alliance is dissolved, so that the three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Han can get out of the war against Chu... This is extremely unfavorable to the state of Zhao.

The most beneficial thing for Zhao is to let Chu attract the firepower of the five countries until Zhao takes over Zhongshan.

Thinking about it, Lou Chu immediately bowed his hand and said: "Great King, since the annexation of the Yue State by the Chu State, it has become a superpower with a land of more than seven thousand miles and a population of more than 10 million. The land of Chu was already larger than the total land of the five kingdoms of Qin, Qi, Sanjin, and Jin, and the population of Chu was only slightly lower than the total population of the five countries.

Such a Chu State is no longer something that that country can deal with alone, or even that two countries can deal with together, and even the three great powers together can barely resist the Chu State.

Such a state of Chu is a great threat to all countries in the world, not only for other countries, but also for our Qin state. This time the five countries jointly invaded Chu, not for a certain country, but only for ourselves, for our Qin State. ”

Speaking of this, Lou slowly bowed to King Qin, and said in a higher and higher voice: "Great King, now that the Chu State has not completely digested Jiangdong, there are still 80,000 Chu troops guarding Jiangdong, and at this moment, the war between the Five Kingdoms against Chu is going on so hard.

If you wait a few more years, wait for the Chu State to obtain Jiangdong's financial, material and human resources, and wait for the Chu State to transfer the Chu army from Jiangdong, at that time, the minister is worried that even if the five countries become one and work together, I am afraid that they will not be the opponents of the Chu State. At that time, if the countries want to weaken the Chu State, they will have to pull Zhao Yan and the two countries together. ”

"It's just..." Lou shook his head and sighed: "It's just that even the five countries can't work together, let alone the seven countries with different hearts?"

The minister's words are all here, and I hope the king will check it. ”

Lou Zhuan's words, when it came to the hearts of many ministers, didn't the alliance between the Qin State and the Four Kingdoms just solve the trouble of the Chu State? If you miss this opportunity, it will be even more difficult next time.

At this time, after many ministers looked at each other, they saluted together and said, "Please also ask the king to take a clear look." ”

When Qin Wang heard this, he hesitated again: "This..."
