Chapter 288: Attacking Qin
"Smack!"
Zhao Jia slammed the Chinese book on the case, and his face was extremely gloomy.
They didn't expect that the Qin State would actually use such a vicious method to spread the plague in the Zhao State.
Fortunately, the black-faced man sent out the information before he died, which saved Zhao Guo from a catastrophe, and Rao was so, there were still more than 2,000 soldiers and civilians infected with the plague, and only 623 people survived in the end.
Li Si picked up the paperwork that was thrown on the desk, and his pupils shrank after reading it.
Then, he bowed and said, "Congratulations! β
Zhao Jia frowned slightly, stared at Li Si and asked, "Where does the joy come from?" β
Li Si raised his head and smiled: "Lu Buwei's move is the strategy to kill Qin!" β
Zhao Jiaqi said: "What do you mean by this? β
Li Si said: "If LΓΌ Buwei's strategy is successful, then the plague will break out in Zhao State, and I don't know that it was spread by the Qin people, so Zhao is naturally anxious and has no time to take care of Qin State." β
"It's a pity, Lu Buwei didn't expect this strategy to fail!"
Lees continued to talk.
"Previously, Fan Jun did not let Jun Shang attack Qin, on the one hand, Zhao and Qin Shang were allies, if Jun Shang betrayed the alliance to attack Qin, it would be unjust."
"Both, Qin suffered natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people were struggling to make a living, and the king took advantage of the fire to rob, which is very likely to anger the Qin people and make the Qin people fight to the death."
"Of the three, Zhao Guoshi has been fighting for many years, and he is already tired, and he rashly raises troops to attack Qin, I am afraid that he will have no intention of enterprising, and he will not have the heart to attack."
"Fourth, Zhao also suffered a famine, and the people are still difficult to eat, if they insist on raising troops to attack Qin regardless of the life and death of the Zhao people, they will lose the hope of the world."
Zhao Jia listened to Li Si's words and couldn't help nodding frequently.
At the beginning, Fan Zeng analyzed these reasons and dispelled Zhao Jia's desire to attack Qin, and instead used the strategy of surrendering without a fight.
Li Si's eyebrows fluttered, and he continued: "All the reasons that were not conducive to attacking Qin in the past have all come to naught today! β
Zhao Jia's expression moved slightly, and said, "Please also tell Mr. in detail!" β
Li Si waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "First, LΓΌ Buwei sent people to spread the plague in Zhao State, violating the covenant and injustice first, and it is natural for the king to attack Qin and occupy the righteousness." β
"Both, if this matter is spread all over the world, and the Qin people know that the king is benevolent to the Qin people, but the Qin country harms the people with the plague, the Qin people will be cold, if the king does not commit any crime in Qin Minqiu when the king sends troops, the Qin people may not fight to the death for the Qin country."
"Three, although Zhao Pawn has been tired of fighting for many years, the king took the initiative to provoke the war, and the soldiers may be dissatisfied, but the Qin State spread the plague first, and Zhao Pawn must be filled with righteous indignation when he learns it, and he has asked for war, so the army's heart can be used."
Speaking of this, Li Si stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.
Zhao Jia looked excited, but still puzzled: "The above three problems have been solved, but the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and listened to Fan Jun's words before, first distributed grain to the people, and then wantonly scattered grain on the border of Zhao and Qin, and the government stockpiled grain is still insufficient, why cut down Qin?" β
When Li Si heard this, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.
If Zhao Jia didn't ask, how could he show Li Si's ability? The reason why he pauses at the most critical point is precisely to show his importance.
"Your Excellency can know that in the past, when the national strength reached its peak, it was called the strongest of the two emperors in the east and west along with the Qin state, why was it not tolerated by the other countries, so that it almost caused the disaster of almost destroying the country?"
When Zhao Jia heard this, his face became even more suspicious, and he couldn't understand what Zhao State's lack of food had to do with the war of other countries.
However, he also believed that since Li Si asked so, it was absolutely reasonable, and immediately said: "As far as I know, back then, Qin and Qi stood side by side, and the rest of the countries were all foils. β
"Under the initiative of the State of Qi, all countries joined forces to attack Qin, so that the State of Qin could not go east."
"The powerful national strength finally caused the King of Qi to swell unprecedentedly, and sent troops to destroy the Song Dynasty, so that the national strength of the Qi State reached its peak."
"However, the prosperity is extremely declining, and all countries are coveting the wealth of the Song Dynasty, how can they watch the Qi State swallow the Song State alone, and then threaten the rest of the countries?"
"That's why Le Yi will bring the soldiers of the five countries to the seventy-two cities of Qi in a row."
Li Si asked again: "Then can you know why the countries abandoned the Qi State and finally chose to form an alliance with the Qin State to attack Qi?" β
Zhao Jia shook his head and said: "Qi Zhiqiang has surpassed the Qin State, and the act of destroying the Song Dynasty has made all countries deeply afraid, so this will unite to attack Qi." β
Hearing this, Li Si first nodded, and then shook his head.
"What the king said is good, but if that's all, after the countries capture the territory of the Song State and divide it, the alliance may be dissolved, why not give up and almost destroy the Qi State?"
Zhao Jia frowned slightly, and arched his hand: "I hope Mr. will tell me." β
Li Si stroked his beard and said: "Among the five kingdoms of Qi, especially Qin, which is the strongest, has the most troops and forces, but before attacking Qi, the king of Qin promised the four countries that in this battle of Qi, Qin will not have one city or one pool. β
When Zhao Jia heard this, he immediately realized.
The Qin State contributed the most, but promised not to take any of the Qi State, so if the territory of the Qi State was defeated, it would be cheaper for the other four countries after all.
It is precisely for this reason that they will work so hard, almost wanting to destroy the Qi country in a battle, and then take its people captive, seize its property, and divide its land.
"Sir's intention is to follow the strategy of the Qin State in the past to attack Qin?"
Li Si high-fived and smiled: "Exactly! β
"Zhao is certainly short of food when he attacks Qin, if the king promises not to take any of Qin this time, he is only willing to attack Qin with the strength of the whole country to avenge his revenge for spreading the plague, and with the greed of all countries, he will definitely do his best to help the king!"
Zhao Jia was overjoyed at first, but quickly frowned and said: "This policy is certainly very good, but as far as I know, Wei and Han have had little harvest this year, and Chu and Qi have also suffered natural disasters, and grain production has been greatly reduced. β
"All countries are short of food, how can they afford to attack Qin?"
Li Si said disapprerovingly: "Although Han and Wei may not have too much grain and grass, they are extremely rich, and there is not a small amount of money. β
"Qi and Chu were less affected, the grain harvest was acceptable, and with the surplus grain from previous years, it may not be possible to come up with enough grain and grass if you really want to attack Qin."
"Now that the monarch is tempted by Qin's land and population, all countries have money to contribute, grain to produce, and soldiers to send troops, so they will do their best to attack the weak Qin with the strength of the six countries, is it difficult?"
After listening to Li Si's explanation, Zhao Jia couldn't help but show joy, stepped forward and held the other party's hands tightly, and said, "Listening to your words is better than reading for ten years." If Qin can be destroyed this time, Mr.'s merit should be no less than that of Le Yi in the past, and he will definitely go down in history! β
Li Si hurriedly said humbly: "Si can't give advice, and those who can really influence the situation in the world are the only ones who have their ears!" β
The monarch clasped his hands together, looked at each other, and then all laughed.
The plan has been decided, Zhao Jia first wrote a letter to inform Fan Zeng of the plan, asking him to help Zhao Yan implement this matter, and then wrote five letters, which were sent to various countries quickly.
The curtain of Qin destruction has officially opened!
