Zhang Yi was relieved when he heard that Qin Wangdang dispelled the idea of transferring back to Sima Cuo, and bowed his hand and said, "The king is wise!" ”

The moment King Qin shook Zhang Yi's hand, the corners of his mouth twitched twice, and after Zhang Yi straightened up, he asked expressionlessly: "Father, in the face of the current situation, I don't know what Father Xiang's good plan is?" ”

When Zhang Yi heard this, he immediately replied with a solemn face: "King, the response of the ministers just now is already very good. ”

"It's just that the minister has a little to add, when the five countries began to attack Qin, it was the time when the will of the countries to attack Qin was the firmest, so it was difficult for the strategy to succeed, but now that the Zhao State has broken through the defense line of the river, it is different."

"Now it is the Zhao State that can get the benefits, and the other four countries can only covet the Zhao State, Lao Ziyun: Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness, the contradiction between the five countries is revealed, it is the time to use the plan, the minister thinks that in addition to the Qi State, he can also send envoys to the Chu State."

"Chu State is not only the leader of the alliance, but also Wuguan and Hangu Pass, all of which are dominated by Chu, if you can persuade Chu to withdraw its troops, then the Han army outside Hangu Pass will naturally retreat, as soon as Chu and Han retreat, then the alliance will be dispersed, and then Zhao and Wei will naturally withdraw when they face our Qin State alone."

King Qin Dangchi asked: "Father, what if the Chu State does not agree to withdraw from the army?" ”

Zhang Yi thought for a while and said: "Great King, if the Chu State withdraws its troops, if the Chu State does not agree to withdraw the troops, then we will secretly disclose to the Chu State that the shipbuilders of the Yue State helped Sima Co build a warship in Badi, and say that our Qin State intends to attack Yingdu, the capital of the Chu State." ”

"And we can also secretly send an envoy to Yue Guo, now Zhao Hua of Chu State is on duty in Yue State, if our secret envoy is accidentally known by Zhao Hua, then Zhao Hua will definitely suspect Yue Guo."

"In this way, on the one hand, the Chu State is worried that Yingdu will be attacked, and on the other hand, it is suspected that the Yue State has two hearts, so there is no reason for the Chu State not to retreat."

When Qin Wang Dang heard this, he smiled and said, "Father Xiang is clever. ”

Zhang Yi smiled and continued: "In addition, Yan Guo will also send an envoy to ask Yan Guo to help." ”

King Qin was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yi in surprise and asked, "Father, now that Yan is poor and weak, he is an ally with Zhao State, and he will definitely not attack Zhao State." Although he has a deep hatred with the Qi State, the difference in strength between the two countries is too big, and the Yan State will definitely not take the initiative to provoke the Qi State for the sake of the Qin army. ”

"The king is wise!" Zhang Yi complimented King Qin for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Great King, although Yan Guo will not make a move against Zhao and Zhao, but Yan Guo can make a move against Zhongshan Kingdom." ”

"We can send an envoy to the king of Yan to say that the king is on the throne, and in order to deepen the relationship between Qin and Yan, we will send the grain that was lent to Yan last time. Then ask King Yan for help, let King Yan go to the trouble of Zhongshan Kingdom, and there is no need to attack Zhongshan Kingdom, just need to gather the army of Yan Kingdom to intimidate Zhongshan Kingdom. ”

"And our purpose in letting Yan State intimidate Zhongshan State is to contain Qi and Zhao. Zhongshan is still an ally of Qi now, and Yan is a great trouble for Qi, the weakening of allies, the growth of sorrow, this is where Qi's worries lie, with this, the possibility of Qi's withdrawal will definitely increase, and it is also a justifiable retreat. ”

Zhang Yi paused, took a breath and continued: "In addition, our Qin State can also take this opportunity to mediate and take the opportunity to form an alliance with Zhongshan State. ”

"Zhongshan should not have forgotten the last time Yan and Zhao besieged Zhongshan, although Zhongshan won by luck last time, but if there is a next time, if Zhongshan and Qin form an alliance, then there is our Qin State in the west to contain the Zhao army, for Zhongshan, there is a hundred benefits and no harm."

"As long as Qin is allied with Zhongshan, then Zhao will be worried about a fire in the rear, and Zhongshan is allied with Qin and Qi at the same time, Zhao has to doubt Qi's intentions."

"In this way, the two great powers of Qi and Chu have all withdrawn, so the Zhao State can only withdraw its troops if it gets the benefits. The remaining Wei State will withdraw its troops by itself. ”

"Good, good, good, this strategy is feasible." Qin Wangdang nodded one after another, his face was full of joy, and then he looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Does Father Xiang have any other plans?" ”

Zhang Yi heard Qin Wangdang's inquiry, and then saw Qin Wangdang's face showing joy, and immediately responded: "King, there is also Yiqu Kingdom!" ”

"Yiqu!" When Qin Wangdang heard Zhang Yi mention Yiqu Kingdom, he immediately hated the root of his teeth. If it weren't for the troubled Yiqu, how could the impregnable defense line of the Qin State be broken through by the Qi-Zhao coalition army.

Thinking about it, King Qin said angrily: "The Yiqu Kingdom is really hateful, it was like this when the Six Kingdoms attacked Hangu Pass before, and now it is still like this when the Wu State invades Qin, and the widows have no longer bear Yiqu." I don't know if my father has a plan. ”

Zhang Yi shook his head and said: "King, Yiqu is just a disease of ringworm, as long as we can expel Zhao State, then there is only one Yiqu left in Guanzhong, and it is still very easy to deal with him." ”

"The minister's plan is to negotiate peace with Yiqu at the same time as the peace talks of Zhao State, and now that the vitality of Yiqu State is greatly damaged, they will agree to our peace talks."

······

Outside the city.

The Qi-Zhao coalition army besieged the city for ten days, but in the face of a veritable county town, although the Qi-Zhao coalition army was outnumbered, it could only prepare for the siege first.

Zhao Jun camp.

King Zhao said to the ministers in the camp: "Zhuqing, the widow has received news from Xianyang, the Qin State intends to send someone to negotiate peace, and the envoy is already on the way, and he will arrive here in the near future." Moreover, the widow also heard that the Qin State planned to mobilize the Qin army from Hangu Pass to come for reinforcements. ”

As he spoke, King Zhao looked at the orchestra pit beside him and said, "General, if we attack this city, how long will it take to conquer this city." ”

Le Chi shook his head and said: "Great King, Fushi City is a county town, the city is high and deep, and there are more than 100,000 Qin troops outside the city, I am afraid it will be difficult to break the city in a short time." ”

King Zhao nodded, he had been discussing the attack on Fushi City for several days, but every time it was the same result.

After a pause, King Zhao spoke: "The State of Qin has not been weakened for decades, and for decades, the State of Qin first defeated the State of Wei and seized the Shangjun Hexi, which is only about the benefits of China. then crippled the Yiqu, and then destroyed the Three Kingdoms of Bashu, and the strength was extremely strong. ”

"This time we can break through the defense line of the Qin River, it is really a rare good opportunity, we can weaken the Qin State in one fell swoop, if the widow agrees to the peace of the Qin State, then the Five Nations Alliance will definitely break, and the matter of this attack on Qin will end here, if you miss this opportunity, the widow is worried that he will regret it for a lifetime in the future."

"But if we don't agree to Qin's request for peace, once the reinforcements from Hangu Pass arrive, then it will be even more difficult for us to break through this city, and we may not get anything at that time."

After a pause, King Zhao spoke: "And the widow is more worried about the retreat of the other four countries, especially the Qi State and the Chu State. ”

The ministers were speechless for a while.

In the face of a strong city, how can it be so easy to break through.

As for the withdrawal of troops from Qi and Chu...
