Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Korean Debate
Zhao Dan thought about it for an hour, and he didn't decide how to treat the child in Zhao Ji's belly, who was suspected to be Qin Shi Huang.
There is no doubt that since Lu Buwei did not give Zhao Ji to Zhao Yiren, and Zhao Dan has not touched her since Zhao Ji entered the palace, then the biological father of the child in Zhao Ji's womb must be Lu Buwei.
But that's why it's a problem!
What kind of person is Lu Buwei, that is the most important chess piece in Zhao Dan's plan to dismantle the Qin State.
So for the sake of An Lu Buwei's heart, Zhao Ji definitely can't be killed.
It's not okay to send Zhao Ji back, after all, Zhao Ji has been in the palace for a while, and if you send it back, it won't be clear to say it, in case Lu Buwei thinks that this is raising a child for Zhao Dan, it will be very embarrassing.
But if Zhao Ji continues to stay in the palace, it will become Zhao Dan to raise a son for Lu Buwei...... This seems to be quite like that.
In short, Zhao Dan now has a messy feeling in the wind.
Of course, if you really want to get rid of Qin Shi Huang in Zhao Ji's stomach, there is a way, as long as you let the doctors quietly make some fetal pills and mix them in the meal for Zhao Ji to eat.
But, this kid is the first emperor of the ages, Qin Shi Huang! If he is given birth and controlled properly, will it help Zhao Guo in the future?
……
Many thoughts came to Zhao Dan's heart, so much so that Zhao Dan didn't even know when the ministers would come to the main hall of Longtai.
Of course, the people who came were the three giants of Zhao Bao, Yu Xin and Lou Chang.
The three of them looked at each other after seeing that Zhao Dan had been in a state of distraction, and they didn't dare to speak for a while, until Zhao Dan's own uncle Zhao Bao coughed after a long time, and asked tentatively: "King, king?" ”
These calls finally brought Zhao Dan back to his senses, and at this time Zhao Dan found that the ministers were already in place.
Zhao Dan couldn't help sweating, hurriedly took a few deep breaths to clean up his mood, and then said to the three ministers in front of him: "Summoning the secretaries here today is really a matter of South Korea." The widow wants to ask the queen to repair a letter and send an envoy to Han Wangran, or Han Wangran can send troops to help me, what do you think? ”
Something like Zhao Ji's pregnancy, of course, Zhao Dan couldn't take it out and discuss it with these ministers.
After the three ministers heard Zhao Dan's proposal, they didn't speak immediately for a while, but thought about it one after another.
In fact, it is not only Zhao Dan, but even the entire Zhao Guozhongchen group has intentionally or unintentionally ignored South Korea in this matter.
After all, there is only one county in South Korea now, and it is too weak in the eyes of Zhao Guojun and his ministers.
After a while, Lou Chang, who felt that he was being alienated recently, decided to take the lead in speaking in order to perform: "King, in the opinion of the minister, this matter may be difficult to do. ”
Then Lou Chang began to expound his point of view: "South Korea, although the soldiers are strong, although the soldiers are brave, but the country is small and the people are outnumbered, and there is no powerful general, so South Korea cannot be dominated by the princes." And South Korea and Qin have been fighting for four years, and the sergeants of the country have been seriously killed and wounded, so how can they have the spare strength to help me Zhao Guoye? ”
Obviously, Lou Chang is not optimistic about the prospect of South Korea sending troops, or more directly, Lou Chang does not take South Korea seriously.
But this is also normal, after all, the Zhao State where Lou Chang is located is the strongest Zhao State in history, and South Korea is the weakest South Korea in history, and the territory of Zhao State is now more than ten times that of South Korea, and the population is five or six times that of South Korea, of course, South Korea is not taken into account.
Lou Chang is not the only one who holds this opinion.
Zhao Dan's uncle Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao also said: "Today's Korea, the land is only a hundred miles, and the city is only twenty, and it is no longer a Xiongguo, but a vassal of Qin. Han Wangran was afraid of Qin, and if the king of Qin ordered him to send troops to attack Zhao, Han Wangran might be able to allow it. However, if the king ordered him to send troops to attack Qin, it would be difficult to do so. ”
Speaking of South Korea, it is also miserable, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States, but now it has been beaten to the point that it can only survive, and it trembles under the majesty of Qin, so Zhao Bao is not optimistic that South Korea can send troops to aid Zhao.
But it is not without disagreement.
At the beginning, Yu Xin sat calmly on the side, not intending to speak.
Because although Yu Xin, Lou Chang, and Zhao Bao have different political factions, their positions on this matter are quite consistent.
South Korea is not a small country with the size of sesame mung beans now, what's the use of paying attention to him?
But it was at this time that Yu Xin suddenly found that Zhao Dan had been sitting there very calmly, noncommittal to the words of the two ministers.
Yu Xin seemed to understand something.
The next moment, Yu Xin suddenly spoke: "King, in the opinion of the minister, this matter may be possible." ”
As soon as Yu Xin's words fell, the eyes of the three people in the hall fell on him.
Yu Xin coughed and said unhurriedly: "As Pingyang Jun and the doctor said, South Koreans are just small countries and widows. However, although South Korea is small, the South Korean army should not be underestimated. If it weren't for the courage of the Korean army, how could South Korea have been able to resist Qin alone for several years? Therefore, in the opinion of the minister, this matter is feasible. ”
When Yu Xin said this, Lou Chang's heart was a little unhappy. Immediately, Lou Chang opened his mouth and said to Yu Xin: "Yu Qing's words are false. There are still tens of thousands of Qin troops in the city of Yewang, and Yewang is only a hundred miles away from Xinzheng, and it is possible to arrive at night, such as a sharp sword hanging on the neck of Korea. Then the king of Han is just an indecisive and afraid of Qin, how dare he send troops? ”
Although Qin dispatched 600,000 troops in the Battle of Changping, not all of these 600,000 troops were concentrated on the Changping front.
Just as the Zhao army had to divide its troops to guard the back road of the Bailishi Great Wall defense line, the Qin army also needed to defend its own back road in case the Qin army's back road on the Changping front line was cut off.
Due to geographical reasons, there is only one back road of the Qin army on the Changping front, that is, one large and one small near the exit of the south side of Taihang Cheng in the north-south direction, the city (small) and the Yewang city (large).
These two cities were very important for the entire Changping War, and when the Qin army launched a full-scale offensive against Korea five years ago, the main direction of attack was the city of Shencheng and Yewang.
It was precisely because of the fall of these two cities that the connection between the Korean mainland and Shangdang County was completely severed, and the King of Han had to order the surrender of the soldiers and civilians of Shangdang County, and then there was the story of Feng Ting's surrender to Zhao and Qin Zhao's war.
Moreover, these two cities are only a few days away from the border of Wei, an ally of Zhao State at the beginning of the war, once Wei State sends troops to surround and conquer Shencheng and Yewang City, then the Qin army on the Changping front line will be wrapped in dumplings, and there will be no way to enter the heavens and the earth.
In view of this, Qin Wangji and Fan Sui sent 50,000 elite Qin troops to defend these two cities, and let the general Sima Terrier sit in the Yewang.
With the 50,000 Qin troops in this Yewang City, the Qin State was not only able to defend against the attack from the Wei State, but also deterred South Korea, so that the South Korea, which was a major general with a remnant army, did not dare to move at all.
It is also because of this that Lou Chang feels that Yu Xin's words are nonsense at all.
It is obvious that the current matter is not under the control of the Koreans, as long as the 50,000 Qin troops do not leave, the Koreans will not dare to send troops at all!
Yu Xin didn't get angry after listening to Lou Chang's rebuttal, but said unhurriedly: "The doctor's words are wrong. Although South Korea is a small country and a small people, it is also the hero of the Warring States. The Qin army attacked the land of Korea and seized the land of Korea, and the king of Han would hate the Qin country deeply. Although the Qin army was forced to send troops at this moment, if the Qin army showed defeat, Han would betray Qin. Therefore, I, Zhao Guoyi, should first befriend South Korea and lure it to return to its place. If so, when Changping wins, it will be the time for the Korean army to help me attack Qin! ”
When Yu Xin said this, not only Lou Chang was speechless, but Zhao Dan and Zhao Bao on the side also nodded secretly.
Although it is true that the current South Korea does not dare to move under the strong Qin soldiers, once the Qin State suffers a big defeat in Changping, will South Korea take the opportunity to stab the Qin State fiercely?
It's quite possible!
In the battle of Lantian in history, wasn't it precisely because Korea and Wei stabbed Chu in the back that the once-prosperous Chu State suffered a big defeat and turned from victory to decline?
That's just a matter of the last generation! It's impossible that only a generation has passed, and all the blood of Koreans is gone, right?
Yu Xin is worthy of being a famous man of the Warring States who is good at observing the overall situation, and he analyzed this matter in just one sentence, and even made Zhao Bao, the king of Pingyang, who originally did not agree with this matter, change his position and stand on Yu Xin's side.
Zhao Dan pondered for a moment, and then made a decision.
"In that case, let's summon Huayangjun into the palace."
