As soon as this topic was mentioned, the ministers of Zhao State immediately came to the spirit one by two.
I like this feeling of pointing out the country the most.
The first to speak was the Xiangbang of the Zhao State, Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains.
I saw Zhao Sheng say: "King, the minister thinks that Korea should be destroyed first." As long as Korea can be destroyed, then the entire Central Plains will be in the hands of the king, and the world will be pacified. Moreover, destroying Korea can separate Qin and Chu from each other, so that when the time comes, whether it is attacking Qin or Chu, it will be difficult for these two countries to save each other, which can be said to be a plan to kill three birds with one stone. ”
Regarding Zhao Sheng's words, Zhao Dan thought about it and felt that it actually made sense.
Today's Korea, because it has occupied Nanyang County, has in fact separated the connection between Qin and Chu.
Although it is said that Qin and Chu are now bordered, the problem is that the border is Wushan, and it is really difficult to mobilize the army through the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
If it was the upstream Qin State that came to the aid of Chu, it would be good to say, if the Chu State wanted to go against the river to rescue the Qin State, it would be almost impossible before.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Zhao Sheng thinks that attacking South Korea is the best choice.
In fact, Zhao Sheng's opinion made Zhao Dan a little surprised.
You must know that Zhao Sheng has always been the most resolute anti-flag faction, so Zhao Dan subconsciously thought that this time Zhao Sheng should also strongly demand to destroy the Qin State first.
But I didn't expect Zhao Sheng to suddenly propose to find South Korea, which was a surprising move.
In fact, what Zhao Dan didn't know was that Zhao Sheng's proposal had learned a lesson from before.
At about this time last year, the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State, who had just destroyed Wei and were in high spirits, were also discussing the next goal in this way.
In that meeting, whether it was the Gong faction or the Buyi faction, there was a situation where the voting power was scattered and they fought separately, which led to the fact that there was no unified conclusion in the end.
If it weren't for Jing Ke's assassination of King Zhao that happened suddenly, then I'm afraid that the high-level officials of Zhao State would not get any results after arguing for ten days and half a month.
It is precisely because of this that this time Zhao Sheng communicated with Pang Xuan and Ju Xin in advance and made full preparations.
After careful discussion, the trio decided that South Korea was the best target.
In fact, Qi Guo is also a good target, but for some obvious reason, Zhao Sheng is not willing to recommend Qi Guo as Zhao Guo's next target.
However, the problem is that although Zhao Sheng himself does not want to recommend Qi Guo, there are still people who like to fight Qi Guo first.
Lian Po, the general of Zhao State, coughed and said to Zhao Dan: "King, according to the old minister, this time it is best to destroy Qi State first." As long as the Qi State is destroyed, then the entire Central Plains will be completely owned by my Zhao State, and the next thing the king has to do is to let our generals lead the rolling iron hooves to the south, and completely flatten the other three countries. ”
Not to mention, after saying this to Lian Po, Zhao Dan felt that what Lian Po said was quite reasonable.
If you want to attack South Korea, then Zhao Guo may still worry about being copied by Qi State, but if you directly come up and destroy Qi State, you don't have to worry about this at all.
As usual in the political arena of Zhao State, since the bosses of the two camps have taken a clear position, it is time for the younger brothers to come out and wave their flags and shout.
Pang Xuan coughed and said, "The general's words do make some sense at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, there are actually great drawbacks. ”
Lian Po was not happy when he heard this, his eyes immediately widened, and he said, "What are the drawbacks of my words, please ask Pang Qing for advice." ”
To be honest, the more Lian Po looks at Pang Xuan now, the more unhappy he becomes.
After all, Pang Xuan's contributions in the past few years have also become greater and greater, and he destroyed Yan Guo as the chief general of the Zhao army before, and the momentum has suddenly risen, and he has begun to have a tendency to be able to compete with Lian Po.
This is obviously a very unacceptable thing for the arrogant Lian Po.
Pang Xuan smiled slightly, and said to Lian Lianpo: "General, please think about it, the three kingdoms of Han, Qin, and Chu are connected from a geographical point of view, if the Qi State is destroyed first, then the remaining three countries will definitely have a feeling of dying and cold, no matter which country is attacked next, the other two countries will definitely come to support together, which will lead to a great increase in the difficulty of the entire war."
But if we take down Korea first, then the remaining three countries of Qin, Chu, and Qi will be completely divided by us, and we can slowly and calmly break through each of these three countries, so that the casualties and losses will naturally be reduced a lot, and the success will be greatly increased. ”
As soon as Pang Xuan's words fell, Yu Xin's voice also sounded: "Pang Qing's words are also biased, you must know that now the vitality of Qi is still alive, if you attack South Korea first, Qi may directly send troops to threaten Handan." If the Qi State is destroyed first, then whether it is the Chu State, the Korean State, or the Qin State, there is no longer the possibility of threatening Handan. In this way, there is no danger in Handan, and we can calmly deploy troops, which is the best strategy to win in stability. As for the formation of a coalition of Qin, Han, and Chu, what does it matter? Anyway, we have already defeated the Six Kingdoms to defeat Zhao, are we still afraid that it will not be able to resist Zhao by one of the Three Kingdoms? ”
After Yu Xin said this, Ju Xin also spoke: "Yu Qing's words are also fallacious, and Ju Xin doesn't dare to agree. Back then, General Lian Po had defeated the Qi people many times, but he also suffered defeat in the Battle of Gaotang City two years ago. This shows that no one country can be underestimated, especially when several countries are united, and it should not be taken lightly. Rather than let them unite and cause us more trouble, it is better to destroy South Korea first, and then defeat each of them. ”
After the drama Xin finished speaking, Li Bo also stood up and stated his position: "In the last battle of Suiyang City, all the four countries alliance suffered very large losses, and the only two that did not lose their vital forces were Yan and Qi. Now that the Yan Kingdom has been wiped out, then only the Qi Kingdom needs to be destroyed again, and there will be no more strength to confront our country in this world.
As for the three countries of Qin, Chu and Han, it has only been two years, how could they recover from the battle of Suiyang City so quickly? But if we don't destroy the Qi State first, then we will have to face a new force composed of the Qi State, and this new force may even threaten Handan City! Therefore, it is better to destroy the Qi State first. ”
The two factions had their own opinions, and for a while they were arguing, and the court was full of arguments.
Zhao Dan rubbed his temples with a headache, to be honest, although this kind of dispute between the two factions was deliberately done by Zhao Dan, sometimes it was still a headache.
However, the only thing that gives Zhao Dan some comfort is that due to his constant mixing of sand, a third-party force has appeared in the political arena of Zhao State today, that is, a neutral force.
And there are currently three of these neutral forces, namely Zheng Zhu, Li Si and Li Mu.
So Zhao Dan continued to name him: "Zheng Qing, let's talk about your opinion." ”
After hearing Zhao Dan's words, Zheng Zhu hurriedly got up and replied to Zhao Dan: "Great King, the minister thinks that attacking Korea may be a better choice. ”
Zhao Dan asked, "Why is this?" Tell your reasons. ”
Zheng Zhu replied: "Great King, King Jian of Qi and Housheng Junchen have always been timid and afraid, if the Great King only needs to send an envoy to pacify the Qi State, then there is a high probability that the Qi State will not continue to send troops." As long as the Qi State does not send troops, then the king does not have to worry about the constraints of the Qi State, and only needs to concentrate on solving South Korea. ”
Zhao Dan hummed after listening to Zheng Zhu's words, and was noncommittal about it.
To tell the truth, the historical pair of Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng, the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State, were indeed as timid and afraid as Zheng Zhu said.
But Zhao Dan doesn't know if it is because of his own crossing that has led to some changes, and now this Qi Wang Jian is not as unwilling to participate in the war as said in history, but has participated in the siege of Zhao many times, which is very annoying.
So whether the Qi State can be persuaded to remain neutral in this war is actually not too easy to say.
Zhao Dan looked at Li Si again: "Li Qing, let's talk about your opinion." ”
Li Si thought for a moment and said, "Great King, the minister thinks that attacking the Qi State should be a better choice. As long as you take the Qi country, you can concentrate on going south, which is great news. ”
By the time Li Si finished speaking, eight ministers of Zhao had already expressed their opinions, and the number of votes was exactly four to four.
So naturally, everyone's eyes fell on the last guy in the hall who hadn't spoken until now.
Zhao Dan coughed and said, "Governor Li Mu, which country do you think is the best policy to attack?" ”。
Li Mu was also stunned by this, and it seemed that he obviously didn't expect that he was the last and the others were still arguing, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "King, the minister thinks that South Korea may be a better option." ”
"Tell me your reasons." Zhao Dan said.
Li Mu arched his hand at Zhao Dan and replied: "King, as long as you can take Korea, then the next minister will be able to go south to capture Guanzhong very easily, and Guanzhong will not get any reinforcements." As long as Guanzhong is taken down, then the whole world will be in the hands of the king! ”
After Li Mu's vote was cast, the sound of some people sighing suddenly sounded in the hall, and of course, there were other people's happy expressions.
Zhao Dan made the final decision: "Very good, in that case, then take South Korea as the next target!" ”
