Gan Mao immediately responded: "Regarding the matter of attacking Fangcheng Chencheng or attacking Huaishui, it is not only about the gains of various countries in this battle, but also about the question of who will be the next overlord after the war against Chu. ”

As he spoke, Gan Mao arched his hand and said: "Great King, if all countries jointly attack Huaishui, it will not only allow the Qi State to obtain a large amount of land, but also allow the Qi State to gain the dominant position in the war and Chu. In this way, the state of Zhao, which is still neutral between Qin and Qi, will also fall to the state of Qi because of this.

Qi Wei, Zhao and Song are adding the Zhongshan State, and if these five countries are united, then the Qi State will inevitably become the overlord in the next few years, and it will be difficult for our Qin State and Korea to confront the alliance with the Qi State as the defense. Even if you add a seriously weakened Chu State, I'm afraid it will not be an opponent.

What the minister is more worried about is that the Qi State will weaken the Chu State one after another, and then use Zhao and Wei to win over Korea, so that the hegemony of the Qi State will be difficult to shake for ten or even twenty years, which is not conducive to the accession of the Qin State. ”

Qin Wangdang nodded approvingly: "What the prime minister said is extremely true, and the widow is also worried about this, so when the countries are allied, they resolutely oppose the attack on Huaishui by various countries.

In addition, the widow is also worried that the State of Qi may work with the State of Wei to woo Korea in the future, the State of Qi will cede land to the State of Wei, and the State of Wei will cede a piece of land to Korea, so that Korea, which has been united with our State of Qin, may also fall to the side of Qi and Wei. ”

Gan Mao smiled when he heard this: "Great King, the Qi State may win over Korea, and we can also win over the Wei State." The place where the Wei State borders the Chu State is the Chen Land. And not somewhere else. Attacking Huaibei will only cheapen the Qi State, and the Song State can also taste the sweetness, and other countries will gain nothing.

The attack on Fangcheng Chencheng was not, at the very least, Wei was definitely willing to attack Chendi and seize the land in the south. Now, not to mention Chencheng, which is connected to Yingshui in the south of the chasm, even Xiangcheng, an important town in the south of Daliang, has also fallen into the hands of the Chu State.

If my Qin State promises to support Wei to occupy Chencheng and fully occupy the chasm again, the minister thinks, and the Wei State agrees.

As long as the Wei State is convinced, the Wei and Han countries in the Three Jin Dynasty will be the allies of our Qin State, and in this way, the Zhao State will also fall to our Qin State. ”

Qin Wangdang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately nodded.

When Wei dominated the world in the past, it not only seized the Great Liang Xiangling and other places of Chu State, but even the land of Chen Cai was once occupied by Wei State, and its power expanded to the Huaishui Valley. Therefore, the chasm extends to the south to Yingshui and communicates with the Huaishui River.

Later, the state of Wei weakened, and the state of Chu went north to recover the land of Chen Cai, cutting off the claws of the state of Wei reaching out to Huaishui. From then on, the chasm dug by Wei was occupied by Chu in the south, and at the same time, Wei's sphere of influence retreated from Huaishui to the river, and it was difficult to move south.

In this regard, Wei has always been obsessed, just like he can't let go of Hexi, and it is difficult to let go of Huaishui.

If you give Wei a chance to put Huaishui back...

King Qin smiled, Wei Guo would definitely be happy!

Thinking of this, Qin Wangdang immediately nodded: "Yes, the land of Chen Cai should be quite attractive to the Wei State." If the state of Chu weakens in this battle, then the state of Wei will once again get the opportunity to go south to Huaishui, few people think, maybe the king of Wei is also looking forward to this! ”

As he spoke, Qin Wangdang instructed Gan Mao: "Prime Minister, this matter of convincing the Wei State will be entrusted to Yu Qing!" ”

Gan Mao responded: "King please rest assured, the minister will definitely persuade the Wei State to fall to my Qin State and send troops to attack the Chu State and Jianghan." ”

······

On the other side, King Qi was also sitting opposite the prince in his palace at this time, and after the waiter filled the wine glass to the king of Qi and the prince, the king of Qi picked up the wine glass and signaled to the prince, and then drank it all, and said with a red face:

"Xiangguo, I don't know what the countries are thinking now?"

Hearing King Qi's inquiry, Chu Zi smiled and said, "Great King, King Song should be thinking about how to expand the territory of Song at this moment, and at the same time curry favor with me Qi and Wei!" And the Wei State..."

Chu Zi shook his head and said: "Attacking Huaibei is not of much benefit to the Wei State, and the reason why the King of Wei is on the side of my Qi State is because the Wei State is worried about the union of the Qin State and Korea, so he plans to unite my Qi State." Therefore, the minister thought, at this moment, the king of Wei should be thinking hard about how to persuade my Qi State to attack the land of Chen Cai with the strength of Qi and Wei to expand the territory of Wei.

As for the Qin State, the minister thought that the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State were now planning to use Chen Cai's land as bait, and then add other conditions to lure the Wei State to stand on the side of the Qin State. ”

Hearing this, King Qi smiled and said, "It seems that after the State of Qi was weakened by the State of Chu one after another, in the case of insufficient strength, the widow still has to suffer the humiliation of the junior of King Qin this time!" ”

Chu Zi said with a smile: "Great King, this is insulted by the Qi State, it is clear that the Great King is considerate of his allies, agrees to the requests of his allies, and is willing to use the power of Qi to help his ally Wei State." ”

King Qi laughed and said: "Yes, if the Qin State wants to win over the Wei State, it depends on whether the widow agrees or not, can the Qin State still give up the land of the Wei State and help the Wei State seize the land of Chen Cai with all its might?" The widow was not forced by the Qin State, but was invited by the Wei State, and I don't know how the Wei State can satisfy the widow this time. You must know that this time the widow gave up the opportunity to take Chu Huaibei lightly! ”

As he spoke, he laughed twice, and then a trace of hesitation appeared on his face, and he asked, "Xiangguo, what is King Zhao thinking now?" ”

The prince pondered for a moment, and then spoke: "Great King, the matter of cutting down Chu is not of much benefit to the Zhao State. Therefore, it is reasonable that King Zhao is not very active in this matter.

But what the minister is more worried about is that under the appearance of King Zhao's loyalty and benevolence, there is a great evil intention. If Zhao State promotes all countries to attack Chu, at the critical juncture of the war of various countries, unites Yan State to send troops to attack Qi, or attacks Zhongshan State, then with the strength of our Qi State, it will not only be difficult to protect itself, but I am afraid that I will not even have the strength to rescue Zhongshan State. ”

Saying that, the prince bowed and said: "The king, the minister suggests that on the grounds that the attitude of the Yan State is unclear, the main force should be left to defend the northern part of the Qi State, and unite other countries to put pressure on the Yan State and force the Yan State to attack the Hu people in the north." In this way, it not only solves the troubles of our Qi country, but also can cut off one of the arms of Zhao State.

With the power of Zhao State, if you want to attack Zhongshan State alone, it will inevitably be protracted. If the Zhao State really makes any changes, then it will not be too late to return to the division to clean up the Zhao State when the countries succeed in attacking Chu, but our Qi State must leave an army in the north in case of contingencies. ”

King Qi nodded when he heard this.

Yingdu.

Xiong Huai, who had been paying close attention to the situation in Luoyi, was stunned after receiving the information that came, and looked at Chen Zhen who came to report hesitantly: "So, the kings of the six countries discussed together for three days, but no agreement was reached?" ”
