Chapter 57: I Want to Rebel Against the Heavens
The eloquent music room exudes a convincing temperament.
Lian Po and Zhao Jia understood all the truths that Lejian said, but they were unwilling to withdraw their troops no matter what.
For Lian Po, he paid too much in this battle, and even his most beloved young son died.
Not to mention.
It seems that a military general like Lian Po, if he can destroy a country, he will definitely be willing to gamble everything to obtain this supreme honor.
"I only remember that after the battle of Yan and Zhao, the Qin State seized Taiyuan County of the Zhao State, which greatly damaged the national strength of the Zhao State."
"But now, it doesn't seem like the right time."
Zhao Jia only has a vague impression of this history, and he is not very clear.
He only vaguely remembered that the Qin general Meng Fu, that is, the grandfather of the famous Qin generals Meng Tian and Meng Yi, laid down a large territory of the Zhao State.
At that time, it seemed that Yingzi Chu succeeded to the throne.
"Now, although King Qin Zhaoxiang has passed away, his son Yingzhu is still keeping filial piety and has not officially succeeded to the throne."
"Was it my appearance that produced the butterfly effect that allowed Zhao Guo to defeat Yan Guo faster, or was there a mistake in the memory in my mind?"
Zhao Jia's face changed.
In the past few years, the Qin State implemented the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, and had a very close relationship with the Yan State, but the Zhao State was sandwiched between the two, but it was very uncomfortable.
If you can take advantage of the situation to destroy the Yan State, the Zhao State will be able to take the opportunity to occupy a corner of the world, and then compete with the Qin State in the future, you will have strategic depth, and you will no longer be afraid of being attacked on your back.
In fact, not only Zhao Jia and Lian Po think so, but Zhao Guowenwu probably also has this kind of thought.
But soon, Zhao Jia threw this unrealistic idea out of his mind.
With the current national strength of Zhao State, it is not capable of annexing Yan State at all, and if it is forced, it may lead to fire.
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Jia asked: "The general's words are not unreasonable, but how can I easily withdraw my troops if I won a big victory in this battle?" ”
Lian Po also said in a deep voice: "Even if a certain wants to withdraw his troops, the king may not agree. ”
Le Jian just said indifferently: "If you don't withdraw your troops, Qin and the rest of the countries may not sit idly by and watch the Yan Kingdom perish." ”
On the one hand, Zhao Guo was reluctant to give up the fat in his mouth.
On the other hand, Zhao Guo did not have such good teeth, and it was impossible to eat this piece of fat into his stomach.
"In that case, then divide the Yan Kingdom to the other countries!"
Suddenly, Zhao Jia remembered the TV series he had watched in his previous life, in the first part of the Great Qin Empire, the Qin State, which had not yet experienced the Shang Dynasty reform, was defeated by the Wei State, and at that time, the Six Kingdoms of Kwantung almost divided the Qin State.
Today's Yan State only borders Zhao State, and if the other party wants to expand, it must fight to the death with Zhao State.
In the final analysis, the two countries of Yan and Zhao are incompatible, even if they make peace for the time being, as long as Yan still has an enterprising heart, they will inevitably attack Zhao.
Instead of evacuating the Yan country and letting the tiger return to the mountain, it is better to unite other countries to divide the Yan country.
At that time, Libei captured the entire territory of Zhongshan and wanted to keep Zhao as a shield, because as long as Zhao existed, if the rest of the countries wanted to attack Yan, they had to pass through the territory of Zhao first.
It is precisely for this reason that Yan State does not want Zhao State to be divided by other countries, and then face the rest of the countries.
But the situation in Zhao is very different, Zhao is already a place of four wars, except for Chu, and all other countries border.
Therefore, even if the Yan State was divided by other countries, it would not have much impact on the Zhao State.
The most important thing is that even if the countries divide the Yan country, it is very difficult to manage because it does not border with the country.
Zhao Guo really has the intention to completely annex the territory of Yan State in the future, and it is relatively easy to start.
Most importantly, Zhao Jia has a strong sense of urgency.
In the years after the death of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, due to the short lives of the two Qin kings, the power of the court changed very frequently.
At this time, it is the best time for Zhao Guozhongxing.
If you really have to wait for Yingzheng to ascend the throne and grow up, if the Zhao State has not become strong enough, it will be difficult to stop the Qin State.
The division of the kingdoms can not only strengthen the strength of the Zhao State, but also divert the attention of all countries and buy enough time for the Zhongxing of the Zhao State.
Lian Po and Le Jian all changed their faces slightly when they heard Zhao Jia's words.
Zhao Jia ignored the two, but strode to the side of the map, pointing his right hand at Hu Guanshui.
He turned to the two of them and said, "If my Zhao State only takes the territory of the Yan State west of Hu Guanshui, and the rest of the territory is given to the other countries, will they agree?" ”
Hearing this, Lian Po's tone changed, and he said: "The rest of the Yan country's general territory is more than five times the territory west of Hu Guanshui. ”
"How can the king agree to attack Yan with the strength of the whole country, spend countless money and food, and only get such a small amount of territory?"
Rakuma didn't speak, his eyes kept wandering on the map, and his face became more and more solemn.
At this time, he seemed to vaguely understand Zhao Jia's true intentions.
Although the territory west of Hu Guanshui only occupies less than one-sixth of the territory of the entire Yan Kingdom, it includes the vast and rich lands including Jicheng.
As long as it occupies here, Zhao State can occupy half of the North China Plain, and it can also have its own grain production base.
And with Hu Guanshui as the boundary line, as long as Yan sent heavy troops to be stationed in Yuyang, no matter which country in the east of Yan's territory was divided, Zhao State could rely on Hu Guanshui as a barrier.
The rest of the countries, although they do not want to watch the Zhao State sit big.
As long as they can take advantage of the opportunity to share enough benefits, it is expected that countries will definitely be willing to step in.
Especially the Qi country, which is a feud with the Yan country, is definitely happy to carve up the land of the Yan country.
Zhao Jia's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said: "Zhao and Yan are a feud, and they have been at war for many years. ”
"Now that the Qin State is powerful, my Zhao State is still unable to deal with the Qin State, and I should not leave the Yan State as a trouble."
Speaking of this, Zhao Jia's eyes became sharp.
"Qin has repeatedly broken the vertical with a succession, because Qin and Yan are better, every time the vertical and vertical fails, almost all Yan countries have hindered it."
"If you want to break the Qin State, you must join forces."
"If you want to join forces, you must first destroy the swallows."
"The Yan Kingdom is not destroyed, it is difficult to achieve cooperation, and the Qin State is difficult to break!"
Zhao Jia's words are not untargeted.
The Qin State pursued a strategy of distant friendship and close attack, and except for the Yan State and the Qi State, the territory was bordered by the rest of the countries.
The enmity between Qi and Qin is as deep as the sea, and the Qi State has fallen to the current field, which is inseparable from the Qin State.
Only the Yan State has always been ambiguous with the Qin State.
The first time the countries joined forces, Yan had a negative attitude, waited and watched, and did not contribute at all, but became a breakthrough for Qin to disintegrate the combined forces and horses.
The second time he joined forces, Yan Guo did not participate.
The third time the allied forces of Qi, Zhao, Wei, Han and Yan attacked Qin, Yan and Qi each had their own ghosts and took the opportunity to destroy the Song Dynasty, resulting in another defeat of Hezong.
Throughout history, every time the countries joined forces, Yan either did not participate, or dragged its feet.
Of course, this is also due to the fact that Yan does not border with Qin.
Yan Guo always felt that no matter how strong the Qin State was, it would not be able to threaten itself anyway, so it was not in harmony with other countries.
Such a short-sighted country can only be destroyed as soon as possible in order to promote future cooperation.
Of course, Zhao Jia did not pin all his hopes on Hezong.
He knew that the joint column was only a means to resist the Qin state, in order to buy more time for the Zhao state to develop, and at the same time to restrain the continued expansion of the Qin state.
If you want to rely on the combination of contemplation to destroy Qin, it is almost impossible to achieve.
"Since I have come to this era, instead of going with the flow and finally being swallowed up by the general trend of rolling history, it is better to do things against the sky and start with the destruction of Yan!"
