Chapter 725: Can't Be Blindly Optimistic (First Update)

When Zhao Dan heard that Qi Guo was coming, the whole person was also a little stunned.

You must know that the envoys of Qin and South Korea have only been gone for two days, and they can't imagine that the people of Qi will not be able to withstand the pressure to make peace so quickly.

Happiness comes too fast, and it's a little hard for the widow to accept.

Regarding this matter of the Qi people, the ministers of the Zhao State obviously also have their own different opinions.

Zhao Sheng's opinion is very simple, after all, the current Qi State still has a main force of 150,000, and there is a big city like Gaotang City as a barrier, even if it can really destroy this Qi army, Zhao State will definitely pay a lot of casualties, it is better to negotiate peace with Qi State and get some benefits.

Yu Xin's opinion was very murderous: "King, this Qi country is capricious, and now when the main force of Qi is surrounded in Gaotang City, it is just time to teach the people of Qi a lesson." As long as you can take Gaotang, then you can take advantage of the situation to attack Linzi and destroy the Qi State! ”

Zhao Dan was a little stunned when he heard this: "Yu Qing, do you want the widow to destroy the Qi State?" ”

Yu Xin nodded very affirmatively, and said to Zhao Dan: "King, as long as I can wipe out all the main forces of the 150,000 Qi army led by Kuang Liang, then there will be no resistance in the Qi country. And judging from the current situation of the countries, no other country will help the Qi country, which is the best opportunity to destroy the Qi country! ”

Regarding Yu Xin's thoughts, Zhao Dan thought about it for a while, and suddenly found that it seemed to be really the case.

You must know that in this war, all the Seven Heroes of the Warring States were involved, and none of them stayed out of it.

Now that Qin and Korea have made peace with Zhao, Wei has been beaten into a sieve by Zhao, the remaining Yan is attacking Qi, and Chu is also busy fighting Wei.

Everyone is very busy, and it is true that no country will go to the rescue of Qi State.

Zhao Dan was very moved by Yu Xin's suggestion, and then rejected this opinion.

"Yu Qing, the widow wants you to know that it is one thing to fight for hegemony, but it is another thing to destroy a country. The widow does not want to do this until he has the power to fight the whole world. ”

Although it is said that many vassal states were destroyed in the previous Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period, since entering the Warring States Period, only three countries have been destroyed in the past few hundred years: the Song Kingdom, the Zhongshan Kingdom, and the Yue Kingdom.

Except for the Wei Guo, which was demoted to the rank of king and had actually been reduced to the territory of Wei, the other seven were all powerful powers, otherwise they would not be called the Seven Heroes of the Warring States.

The demise of any one of these great countries would be an out-and-out big deal for the others.

Just like when the Qi State destroyed the Song State, which eventually caused the world to be shocked and the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi, the current Zhao State, as the first power in the world, will definitely arouse the vigilance of all other countries once the Qi State is destroyed.

Just one of the four countries attacking Zhao has made the current Zhao State very difficult to resist, and this happened when the four countries were pulling each other's feet.

Once the Zhao State destroys the Qi State, then the remaining five countries will definitely work together to defeat the Zhao State as the first goal.

With Zhao Guo's current strength, it is still difficult to deal with such a situation.

The most important thing is that Zhao Dan feels that there is no need to do this at all.

Yes, it is indeed very cool to do this kind of thing by oneself against the whole world, but it is also full of crises, once one of the wrong steps is made, then it is a broken bones, the end of the country and the extinction of the species.

But if you stick to the current policy, beat other countries piecemeal, and slowly cut the flesh with a blunt knife, sooner or later Zhao State will be able to be strong enough to swallow other countries naturally, and the other countries will be helpless.

If you can do it in a safer way, then why take such a risk in the current situation.

Zhao Dan paused for a moment, and continued to say to the several ministers of Zhao State present: "And didn't Zhu Qing find out that the expansion of the widow and Zhao State in the past few years has been too fast? In just a few years, the entire land area has almost doubled. Nowadays, the number of officials is far from sufficient, and many county guards have to fill the desks of the widows. Even if the Qi State can be defeated, where can the widows find so many officials to govern the land of the Qi Kingdom for the widows? . ”

When Zhao Dan's words came out, Yu Xin was directly speechless.

After all, he also served as a lieutenant, the position of an officer in charge of assessment, and knew that what Zhao Dan said was true.

Zhao Dan glanced around at the important ministers of Zhao State who were present, and said earnestly: "The widow knows that the victory of Zhao State in the past few years has made the secretaries very optimistic in their hearts. But what the widow wants to tell everyone is that the more you should stay calm and sober at this time. The previous Wei Qi and Chu Qin were also all strong for a while, but now they are not the same as the defeated men of the widows? If you don't reach the moment of final victory, don't be optimistic, and you shouldn't be blindly confident. ”

Although Yu Xin was persuaded by Zhao Dan, he still said a little unwillingly: "King, if this is the case, then when will it be able to usher in the real destruction of the country?" ”

Zhao Dan smiled slightly, and said to Yu Xin: "Yu Qing doesn't have to worry, the widow can assure you that that day shouldn't be too long." ”

After a pause, Zhao Dan continued: "Okay, now let's continue to discuss whether or not to make peace with Qi Guo." ”

After Zhao Dan said what he had just said, even the ministers of Zhao State, who were sluggish, had already understood what Zhao Dan meant, and they all spoke and said that they should make peace with Qi State.

There is no way, who has made Zhao Dan's power and prestige in the Zhao State have reached its peak, and even all the ministers combined are impossible to confront Zhao Dan's monarchy. Since this is the case, then I can only follow Zhao Dan's meaning.

Zhao Sheng coughed and said, "So the king means that he intends to keep an eye on the Wei State and use the Wei State as a breakthrough?" ”

The reason why Zhao Sheng made such a conjecture was because the three countries in the Four Kingdoms Invasion Zhao Alliance had now taken the initiative to extend an olive branch of peace to Zhao, and only Wei and Wei Wangyu did not know for what reason and had not yet taken action.

Zhao Dan nodded and said in a deep voice: "That's right, this time the Four Kingdoms attacked Zhao and made both the widow and the Zhao country very passive, and someone must pay the price for this!" The widow has ordered Hu Yiwei to hear clearly, Wei is the main messenger behind the attack on Zhao by the Four Kingdoms this time, since this is the case, then let Wei bear the wrath of the widow! ”

"The widow will win after receiving the envoy of Qi tomorrow, as long as an agreement can be reached, then the widow will send an order to General Pang Xuan, and ask him to give the widow to go south immediately and attack Taoyi!"
