The State of Qi refused to send troops to support the State of Zhao!

This is undoubtedly out-and-out bad news for the current Zhao Guo.

Although today's Qi State is no longer the overlord country that was called the Eastern and Western Emperors along with the Qin State, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is still much stronger than the Yan State that has been declining over the years.

If the State of Qi is willing to send troops, then the main force of the State of Yan will be immediately contained, and it is impossible to attack the State of Zhao boldly with confidence.

Zhao Guo didn't even need Qi Guo to fight with the Yan people with real swords, he only needed that the Qi army could delay for a few months until winter came.

In order to achieve this, Zhao Dan also gave Su Dai, who was in charge of going to the Qi State, a lot of permissions, in addition to the large amount of money that was necessary to bribe Hou Sheng, even Maiqiu, who had not been ceded before, could also be ceded to the Qi State.

Zhao Dan is actually ready to be slaughtered by the Qi people, anyway, as long as the Qi State can send troops, then as long as the conditions are not too excessive to be completely unacceptable, then everything can be discussed.

But it was under such lucrative conditions that the State of Qi still refused to send troops!

Zhao Dan couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, it seems that the mother and son of the queen and the king of Qi are really determined to maintain the foreign isolation policy of the Qi country.

A diplomatic move as successful as the last time to borrow grain seems to be a rare but undesirable one, after all, Zhao Dan doesn't have a second Heshi Bi in his hands.

From the perspective of the long-term struggle for hegemony, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Zhao to remain isolated and watch from the sidelines, such a country as Qi State.

But from the current point of view, if the Qi State remains isolated and refuses to send troops, it is a completely bad thing!

Without the Qi State, then now on the battlefield is Qin Yan vs. Zhao Chu, in fact, no one on either side has much advantage, and it is basically a five-to-five situation.

But the problem is that now in the south of the Zhao State, there is also a Wei State that may go north at any time!

If Wei also joined the battle at this time, and attacked Yan and Qin on three sides......

Since the army of Chu, an ally of Zhao State, was still fighting in Nanyang County, hundreds of miles away, it was completely far away to quench the thirst of the near one, so Zhao State would be really in danger at that time.

Zhao Dan's face gradually became solemn.

Such a situation was actually unexpected by Zhao Dan.

Because in Zhao Dan's mind, whether it is Pang Xuan or Su Dai, as long as these two envoys succeed all the way, then the problem of Yan Kingdom will not become a big problem.

But what Zhao Dan didn't expect was that King Yan was so determined to attack Zhao State, and King Qi was so determined to maintain a policy of isolation, resulting in neither of the two envoys sent by Zhao Dan succeeding.

This is the Warring States, a world of great controversy that is still beautiful in one second and changes in the next second!

Seeing this, Lou Chang immediately lost no time in opening his mouth and said: "King, the minister is willing to send an envoy to Xianyang for the king and negotiate peace with the king of Qin!" ”

For Lou Chang, this is indeed an excellent opportunity.

As the saying goes, a war is generally divided into two situations: those who can fight and those who can't, and if they can fight, they will fight to the death, and if they can't fight, then they can negotiate peace.

In view of the fact that Zhao Guo is now about to fall into a disadvantage, it is actually more reasonable to seek peace at this time.

But at this time, Zhao Bao, who was sitting next to Zhao Dan, slowly shook his head and said, "Seeking peace must not be done!" ”

As soon as Zhao Bao said this, everyone was a little stunned all of a sudden.

You must know that Zhao Bao has always been conservative, which can be seen from Zhao Bao's resolute opposition to the takeover of Shangdang County before the outbreak of the Battle of Changping.

This guy was resolutely anti-war when he didn't start fighting, why is he resolutely fighting now?

Zhao Bao didn't care about so much, but frowned and said: "Fu Yan Country, but the country of the bitter cold and widows in the north, Rong Yan is just a defeated general under Du Pingjun, and the chestnut belly is just a boaster, I think that my Zhao Country is based on the Central Plains, and the elite soldiers are like rain and fierce generals are like clouds, so why should I be afraid of it?" ”

Saying that, Zhao Bao arched his hand towards Zhao Dan and said: "King, in the opinion of the ministers, it is better to order Duping Juntian to lead the troops in command, and he will definitely be able to defeat the Yan army!" ”

Zhao Bao's words were loud, his face was resolute, and his will was obviously extremely firm, which made Lou Chang open his mouth wide for a long time.

Make no mistake, Comrade Pingyangjun, are you from the same faction as my Lou Chang!

As Zhao Bao spoke, the opinions between the three important ministers of Zhao State present became two to one, and the main battle faction obviously had the upper hand.

And everyone knows that Zhao Dan, as the monarch, is also a resolute main battle faction!

If Zhao Bao was on Lou Chang's side, then maybe Zhao Dan would still be scruples, but now that Zhao Bao is also resolutely fighting, Lou Chang's suture will definitely not pass.

After all, Zhao Bao is not only the feudal monarch of Zhao State, but also the younger brother born to Zhao Dan's father Zhao Huiwen Wang Yi's mother, and at the same time, he is also the second only Si Kou in Zhao State in terms of power after Xiangbang Zhao Sheng, and the weight of his words is much heavier than Lou Chang!

Seeing all this in Zhao Dan's eyes, he couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

Zhao Dan knew why Zhao Bao was opposed.

Because of the fiefdom.

As a feudal monarch of the Zhao family, Zhao Bao certainly has a fief, and this fief is very good.

Zhao Bao's fiefdom is in Anping, where the Hutuo River joins the Yellow River, which is a plain with abundant water and soil, and it is a good place to do so.

Anping is only a hundred miles away from the Zhongren City that is being watched at the moment, once the Yan army breaks through the Zhongren City, and then continues south to cross the Tang River to attack Gucheng (this is almost an inevitable situation), then Zhao Bao's fiefdom Anping Ke will be exposed to the Yan people's soldiers!

You must know that Zhao Bao is quite concerned about the fiefdom of Anping, not only has he invested a lot of resources to build Anping, but even Zhao Bao hopes that Zhao Dan can give this place to himself as a fixed reward (permanent fief).

However, if we follow Lou Chang's suggestion to negotiate peace, in the current situation, peace negotiation cannot be negotiated in ten days and half a month.

By the time the peace talks were over, Anping would have been beaten into ruins by the Yan people!

Therefore, of course, it is impossible for Zhao Bao to agree to the peace, Zhao Bao not only does not agree to the peace, but also hopes that Zhao will organize troops to resist Yan as soon as possible, prevent the troops of Yan Guo's army from crossing Gucheng, and endanger Zhao Bao's fiefdom.

People are selfish, and if you choose between the peace of the fiefdom and the interests of the so-called Gong faction, it is obvious that the fief is too important to Zhao Bao.

When Zhao Dan saw this situation, he knew that the situation had been decided at this moment, so he immediately coughed and slowly spoke: "In this case, then as the widow said before, there will be no peace talks for the time being!" Let's let Zhao Guonan'er fight with that Yan Jun for a few battles. ”

After all, Zhao Dan, who is familiar with history, knows very well in his heart that from now until the next few decades, Zhao Guoke will be the bitter master of Yan State, and the ability of both soldiers and generals is far above that of Yan people.

So don't look at the fact that there are not many troops that Zhao Guo can use to resist Yan State now, but Zhao Dan's heart is relatively calm.

It's just that the general policy of fighting has been decided, but how to fight this kind of thing still needs to be discussed.

If it is fought, then the course to be taken is offensive or defensive?

If you attack, how and where?

How to defend it, and where to defend it?

There's a lot of problems waiting to be solved.

In this regard, Zhao Dan feels that he who basically knows nothing about military affairs does not have much right to speak.

After all, there is a specialization in the art industry, and it is still necessary to let professionals come.

But this is also normal, in Zhao Dan's mind, the widow is a super leader, the chief boss, everything has to be done by the widow himself, what is the meaning of this leader.

When you are a leader, of course, you have to take charge of the overall situation and grasp the overall strategy, and as for specific things, you can completely let these ministers come up with ideas, why don't you raise these guys?

So Zhao Dan set his eyes on Pang Xuan and Ju Xin, who had been silent on the side (mainly because they were not qualified to interject), and said, "I don't know what Pang Qing and Juzi think of the battle between my Zhao State and Yan State?" ”

These two people may not be qualified to intervene in national affairs for the time being, but when it comes to the war against Yan, they are too qualified.
