Chapter 695: To Each His Own Plan (Fourth Update)
As soon as Zhao Dan's words came out, anyone knew that Zhao Dan was really angry in his heart.
Although he had long known that he could be betrayed at any time in this era, when Zhao Danche really encountered all this, he still felt very unhappy from the bottom of his heart.
South Korea must learn a hard lesson!
However, Zhao Dan also knew very well in his heart that the most critical thing now was to guard Shangdang County.
As long as Shangdang County, especially the Beishangdang Basin, has not been lost, then the battle situation in Zhao State is actually not so bad.
For some reason, the Qin people in the west had already mobilized their troops and set up their postures, but they did not start a war with Zhao for a long time.
To the southeast, Pang Xuan had a clear upper hand against the Wei people, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before he would win.
In the eastern battlefield, although Kuang Liang of Qi had an advantage in numbers, he did not make any decent progress under Lian Po's defense, after all, Lian Po was able to defend even Bai Qi back then, and Kuang Liang's command ability was far inferior to Bai Qi, and it was normal to have this result.
As long as he can hold on for some time and let Pang Xuan take the lead in opening the situation and defeating the Wei army, then if the main force of the 150,000 Zhao army is liberated, the entire battle situation will immediately go in the favorable direction of the Zhao State.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the people of the Qin State did not interfere.
If the people of the Qin State also started fighting immediately, the Zhao State would face four opponents at the same time on the territory border of thousands of miles in the southwest, south, southeast and east, and the length of this front alone would be enough for Zhao Dan to have a headache.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, how good it would be if he traveled to the Qin State, as long as he guarded one place in Guanzhong.
Tucao couldn't save Zhao Guoren, so Zhao Dan retracted his thoughts after a short while, and said in a deep voice: "The issue of Shangdang County will be like this first, and we will make a decision after further progress." But now there is another thing to solve, now that South Korea has betrayed the widows, what should be done next? ”
If we just asked about the military, then we asked about diplomacy.
On military issues, these civilian officials in front of Zhao Dan may not dare to speak casually, but when it comes to diplomacy, then they can say a lot.
Zhao Sheng was the first to speak: "King, it's better to return part of the land of Qi State to sue for peace with Qi State for the time being, and then let General Lian Po return to the division to rescue Shangdang County!" ”
This was the most common strategy used by various countries in the Warring States period - cutting land and seeking peace.
Su Shi's father, Su Xun, once criticized the destruction of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong in "The Theory of the Six Kingdoms" because "the destruction of the Six Kingdoms is that the non-soldiers are disadvantageous, the war is not good, and the disadvantage is to bribe Qin." ”
It means that the six countries of Shandong have always ceded land to the Qin State for compensation, making themselves more and more empty and the Qin State stronger and stronger, and finally out of control.
Listening to it like this, it seems that the monarchs of the six countries of Shandong are all stupid as pigs, and the courtiers are all stupid, and none of them can see the harm of doing so.
This obviously regarded all the monarchs and ministers of the Six Kingdoms in the middle and late Warring States period as mentally retarded.
Actually, when it comes to such a thing as cessing land and seeking peace, Qin State actually did not do less.
Then why did the Six Kingdoms "cut the land and bribe Qin", and no one scolded the Qin State for cutting the land?
On the one hand, this is because when Su Xun wrote this article, it was a metaphor for the old coins of the Liao State and Western Xia of the Great Yi Dynasty at that time, and on the other hand, there is some meaning of becoming a king and defeating a king, and if you really want to talk about it, the land cut of the Qin State is actually quite useful.
For example, when Kuang Zhang broke through Hangu Pass a few decades ago, Qin successfully took advantage of the psychology of Qi and returned the Korean Wusui and Wei Fengling in exchange for the retreat of the Three Kingdoms Coalition led by Kuang Zhang.
For example, in 287 BC, when the third five-nation alliance attacked Qin, Qin Wangji, the then king of Qin, returned Wen, Yi, and Gaoping to Wei, and returned the prince and Fu Yu to Zhao.
From this point of view, in fact, it is not unacceptable for Zhao to temporarily return some land to Qi - anyway, you can learn from Qin and fight back later.
Zhao Dan pondered for a moment, and then said, "Can this plan be successful?" ”
It was Zheng Zhu, a great traveler, who answered Zhao Dan: "Great King, the prime minister of Qi has always been greedy for money, if he can order the envoy to bribe him with heavy gold treasures, plus the matter of cutting the land, he should be very sure that he can persuade the Qi State to make a truce." ”
Zhao Dan nodded slowly and said, "Very good." Are there any other strategies? ”
Although this strategy seemed to be usable, Zhao Dan decided to put it aside for now.
For no other reason, as a traverser, a patriot who has seen in history textbooks and many TV movies how modern China was plundered by foreign powers, Zhao Dan is resistant to this act of separating land and seeking peace from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but show a disappointed look on his face, but he didn't dare to refute.
The next person to come up with an idea was Li Bo: "The king, the minister thinks that he should send an envoy to the state of Chu now, and order the king of Chu to immediately send troops to contain Han Wei." In this way, if there is a fire in Han Wei's backyard, he will definitely not be able to use troops against Zhao State unscrupulously, which should relieve a lot of pressure. ”
Zhao Dan nodded and said, "Li Qing's plan is good, after the meeting is dismissed, Zheng Qing remembers to send an envoy to Chu State as soon as possible, and urge Chu Wang Yuan to tell him that if the widow is defeated this time, then the next time it will be he who will be divided by the destruction of the country!" ”
Zhao Dan's tone was a little unhappy, for no other reason, mainly because it had been almost half a month since the war began, and Zhao and Wei Qi were in full war, but the people of Chu were still grinding and now there was no sign of sending troops, obviously they wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight to pick up the cheap.
After all, for the Chu State, the four countries of Han, Wei, Zhao and Qi attacked the Chu State together last time, and they were all out-and-out enemies.
Now that the enemies are turning against each other and fighting lively, the people of Chu are naturally happy to watch.
Regarding this behavior of Chu State, Zhao Dan felt that it was too short-sighted. Han Wei was originally eyeing the State of Chu, only the State of Zhao could save the State of Chu, and the State of Zhao would be finished if the State of Chu lost.
In such a situation, the people of Chu are still pushing, isn't it short-sighted?
Zhao Dan suddenly remembered something as he spoke, and asked, "By the way, what news is coming from Yan Guo?" ”
As early as more than a month ago, Zhao Dan had already sent an envoy to Yan State, and it stands to reason that he should have received an answer a long time ago.
But Zheng Zhu's answer made Zhao Dan a little disappointed: "King, according to the latest reply from the envoy, I have not been able to see the Empress Dowager Yan herself, and it seems that Yan Guo is still hesitating. ”
Zhao Dan snorted and said, "It seems that the idea of this Yan State is similar to that of Chu State." Zheng Qing, you immediately sent someone to Jidu as fast as possible, and told the envoy to stabilize Yan Guo, even if you can't let Yan Guo join the side of the widows, you must not let Yan Guo stand on Han Weiqi's side! ”
Now Zhao Guo and Zhao Dan have enough enemies, if he can, Zhao Dan naturally doesn't want to have another such one, otherwise it will really be the enemy of the whole world.
It was at this time that Yu Xin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.
"The king, the minister has a plan, if it can be done, then the minister dares to guarantee that the king will win this battle."
