Chapter 672: Zhao Sheng's Bet

"Wei State?"

As soon as Zhao Sheng's words came out, everyone's faces couldn't help but show strange expressions.

The grievances between Wei and Zhao can be said to have a long history, even in recent years, the two countries have been in an alliance for most of the time, but there have also been many wars.

Fighting Wei is actually not impossible to consider, but there are actually many reasons not to fight Wei.

For example, Lian Po was the first to express his objection: "Wei is an ally, if you attack Wei, I'm afraid it won't be able to clean up, right?" ”

Zhao Sheng smiled and said: "Wu Xinjun's words are wrong, although Wei is an ally, but the geographical location is too close to Handan, if Wei and I are enemies, Handan is extremely vulnerable to threats." Besides, although Wei is an ally, but now Wei is attacking Chu, once Wei succeeds in taking Chu Jiujiang, Huiji and other counties, then Wei is very likely to rise and become a big trouble for my Zhao State again! ”

When Zhao Sheng said this, he looked around at the colleagues present, and said meaningfully: "Presumably, you don't want to see the repetition of the incident of encircling Wei and saving Zhao back then, right?" ”

As soon as Zhao Sheng's words came out, the hall fell into a brief silence.

The matter of encircling Wei to save Zhao was not easy to pit Zhao Guo back then.

Not only was Handan broken by Pang Juan, but Zhao was also forced to sign an alliance under the city in the next alliance with Wei, which greatly damaged his face and national strength.

Although the result ended in the defeat of the Wei army by the Qi army, if you want to calculate carefully, then the biggest loss in this war is still the Zhao state.

After a while, Zheng Zhu broke the silence and said, "What Pingyuan Jun said is quite reasonable. But what Wu Xinjun just said, I also agree with it. Although it is said that Wei is now a threat, but after all, it has not taken any action against me, if we rashly attack Wei at this moment, wouldn't it be a nameless division and chill the hearts of other allies? ”

As soon as he heard this, even Zhao Dan, who was sitting on the main seat, couldn't help but nod secretly.

Zheng Zhu's question really got to the point.

If Zhao Dan has the tendency in his heart, he is actually more inclined to fight the Wei State.

After all, once Wei achieved its goal of annexing a large part of Chu's land, then a neighbor with the potential to become a hegemon would appear in the south of Zhao.

Considering the close distance between Handan and Wei, this was certainly unbearable for Zhao.

Things are all prioritized, although Qi State seems to be a more vulnerable target, but after all, Zhao Guo has just been an ally with Qi State, and Zhao Dan is still not very willing to do this practice of stabbing his ally when he turns his head.

Historically, the Qin State was able to rebel many times, because the Qin State was strong and not afraid of retaliation, and at the same time, the geographical location of the Qin State was also excellent, as long as the Hangu Pass and Hedong were held, there was no need to fear attacks from the east at all.

Although Zhao's national strength is enough, the geographical location is relatively bad, and there is no such a strong pass as Hangu Pass to defend Handan, so it is best to avoid such a risk.

From the current situation, Wei, Han, and Qi can all be regarded as allies of Zhao, and if Zhao suddenly makes a private alliance to attack one of them, it will inevitably lead to panic and dissatisfaction among the other two allies.

This is a very unfavorable negative impact for Zhao Guo, and it is very likely to make Zhao Guo fall into a passive situation of being alone in the world.

Whether it is Qi or Wei, these two countries are Zhao's current allies, so Zhao must be famous so as not to fall into passivity in international diplomacy.

Zhao Dan's eyes were fixed on Zhao Sheng, waiting for his uncle to give him a reason to start the war that would satisfy him.

Zhao Sheng's fingers tapped on the table, and said with a smile: "Have you all forgotten that the king sent an envoy a while ago to order Wei Wangyu to stop attacking the Chu State?" That's an excellent reason to go to war. ”

Lian Po's two white eyebrows raised slightly, and he said hey: "Pingyuanjun, I'm afraid you have misremembered this matter, right?" You must know that the King of Wei did follow the king's orders and stopped the continued attack on the Chu State. ”

Speaking of which, Wei Wangyu suddenly changed his temper and accepted Zhao's rather strong armistice order, which surprised Zhao's monarchs and ministers a while ago.

In response to Lian Po's questioning, Zhao Sheng still smiled in return, and said unhurriedly: "In my opinion, this is just a delaying tactic of the Wei State. You must know that when the king sent the envoy at that time, it was already the end of autumn, and it was about to enter winter, even if there was no envoy from the king, Wei should have suspended the war for a period of time and waited until the beginning of spring before continuing the attack. ”

Pang Xuan on the side suddenly spoke: "So Pingyuan Jun thinks that it is possible for the Wei people to continue to attack the Chu State after the beginning of spring?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Sheng said with great certainty: "It's not that it's possible, but the Wei State will definitely attack the Chu State at the beginning of spring next year." You must know that Wei State, as the overlord of the world in the past, all he thought about in his heart was nothing more than to restore the hegemony of the year, and now he only needs to swallow a large area of land in Chu State to hope to return to the position of hegemon, and such an opportunity Wei State cannot let go of in any way. ”

At this time, Yu Xin also spoke: "Pingyuanjun, although what you said does have a certain amount of truth, but after all, this is just your conjecture, and it has not become a reality, it is impossible for the king to act rashly just by relying on your conjecture, right?" ”

As Lian Po's ally, Yu Xin naturally stood on the opposite side of Zhao Sheng at this time.

Zhao Sheng looked at Yu Xin's words deeply, and said unhurriedly: "In this way, I am willing to gamble on the position of Xiangbang, if Wei does stop attacking Chu at the beginning of spring next year, then I will resign from this position of Xiangbang." ”

As soon as Zhao Sheng's words came out, the whole hall was shocked.

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Sheng in surprise and said, "Pingyuanjun, it's better not to be rash." ”

Seriously, Zhao Dan is indeed more worried about Zhao Sheng.

After all, the Gong clan faction has not had a good time these days, and Zhao Sheng, as a Xiangbang, was suppressed by Yu Xin and Lian Po together, and he must not be happy if he is anyone.

But if you're not happy, you're not happy, so casually take out your position as a bet, it's too much nonsense, right?

Isn't it a bit of a no-brainer to take the widow seriously?

Zhao Sheng stood up, bowed deeply to Zhao Dan, and said, "Everything the minister said comes from the heart, and I also ask the king to be a witness here." ”

Zhao Dan looked at Zhao Sheng thoughtfully for a while, then nodded slowly, and said, "Since this is the case, then this matter will be put aside for the time being, and we will make a decision after the beginning of spring." ”

Whether it is to attack Wei or Qi, it is necessary to send troops from Handan, so this time Zhao Danda can not make the final decision until before the war.

Regarding Zhao Sheng's somewhat angry remarks, Zhao Dan thought about it and still didn't get angry.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that his uncle has been forced to breathe a little by the cloth faction, and Zhao Dan feels that he needs to give Zhao Sheng some support, so that Zhao Sheng can continue to withstand the pressure.

If Zhao Sheng collapses with fuel at this time, then it will be difficult for Zhao Dan to play the balance.

Zhao Dan paused for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, all the secretaries must remember not to tell today's events, otherwise they will be punished for treason, understand?" If there are no problems, then the meeting is dismissed! ”
