Chapter 189: Father and Son (I)
"This must not happen!"
When Zhao Yan proposed to form an alliance with the Qin State and attack the Yan State instead, Pang Nuan came out of the crowd and retorted sharply.
"Allied Qin attacking Yan is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger!"
"Looking at the whole world, Qin is so strong, the alliance of the countries is still difficult to resist, if the Qin State is allowed to continue to expand, who can hinder it in the future?"
"The previous alliance with Qin was an expedient measure, but now that the internal and external troubles have been lifted, the king should take the great cause as his own responsibility!"
As an outstanding columnist, even if Pang Nuan took over the position of Lian Po, he still has the keen insight of the vertical, knowing that if Zhao Guo wants to survive, he can only carry out the combination to the end.
"General Pang's words are wrong!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Pang Nuan's voice fell, Han Cang immediately retorted.
"Because of the Qin State before, my Zhao State was able to resolve the crisis, if I abandon the Zhao and Qin alliance at this time, won't the people of the world think that my Zhao State is treacherous?"
Pang Nuan said-for-tat: "All the countries in the world, the covenant is for the benefit of the ear, if it is profitable, the alliance will be profitable, and if it is unfavorable to oneself, it will be broken against the covenant, if you accept the way of benevolence and righteousness, Zhao will die for a long time!" β
"The previous Wei State attacked me, the Yan State was ready to move, and the alliance Qin could make my Zhao State relieve the crisis, and it should be like this."
"This time Qin intends to go east, if he allies with Qin and attacks the rest of the countries, Qin will become stronger and stronger, won't Zhao raise tigers?"
Han Cang sneered: "The Qin State is going eastward, and the Zhao State can also go east, with my Zhao's national strength, if there is no other country to hinder it, taking advantage of the time when the Qin State is going eastward, it is not a problem to destroy Yan, how can the general say that the Zhao State is unprofitable?" β
"The so-called raising tigers is even more nonsense."
"If Qin is a tiger, if he feeds it with flesh and blood, the tiger will become stronger, but the master is unable to control it, this party will be a problem for raising tigers."
"Now Zhao and Qin have formed an alliance, Qin is attacking the city to expand its territory, and Zhao is the same, how can Qin be the only one?"
"On the other hand, if the current Zhao State wants to expand its territory, it can only send troops to attack the rest of the countries, and Qin Qiang Zhao Zhi is difficult to defeat, either go south to attack Wei, or go east to attack Yan."
"If you always hold the idea of cooperation, the neighboring countries except Qin are all the goals of cooperation, and they will inevitably not be able to send troops to attack them, so don't you tie your hands and feet?"
Speaking of this, Han Cang's tone became excited.
"It is ridiculous to be in alliance with sheep and want to chase tigers, although Zhao is not as good as Qin, but also for hungry beasts, and he is in league with sheep and chasing tigers, and finally makes the tigers stronger and stronger, and he is more and more hungry, it is better to give up the sheep and the tigers."
"Seek with the tiger and devour the sheep, although the tiger is stronger, it can also strengthen itself."
Speaking of this, Han Cang turned to Zhao Yan and bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice: "Instead of pinning hopes on joining forces with Qin, it is better to strengthen your own body, so that Zhao Guo has the ability to fight against Qin alone, please think twice!" β
"This is a big fallacy!"
Even if Han Cang was right, Pang Nuan still refuted it sharply.
"Dare to ask Doctor Han, if Zhao and Qin Meng, the two make an appointment to send troops, Qin destroys Han and Zhao destroys Yan, although Zhao has a wide territory, how can he compete with Qin?"
"At that time, I am afraid that all the countries will work together, and it will still be difficult to resist Qin Yin, this is not a move to destroy the country!"
In this way, Pang Nuan and Han Cang insisted on their own opinions, each based on their own opinions, and many people supported both views, and the entire palace hall fell into a fierce quarrel.
At this time, Zhao Yan felt a little big.
Zhao Yan had just ascended the throne, and although he had the ambition to expand the territory, he also knew how powerful the Qin State was, and he did not dare to rashly abandon the Zhao State's long-standing plan.
Therefore, seeing that both sides insisted on their own words and said that there was some truth, Zhao Yan was a little undecided.
"Retreat!"
Seeing that the two sides were arguing more and more, Zhao Yan finally didn't hold back, got up and shouted with some displeasure, and then turned around and left.
In the study, Zhao Yan had a hesitant look on his face.
"Lu Yong, if my father is still alive, what choice will he make?"
Zhao Yan rubbed his forehead tiredly, and suddenly asked the eunuch beside him, with a little expectation on his face.
In Zhao Yan's eyes, although Zhao Dan had the defeat of Changping, he also made great achievements, which was the goal of his own struggle.
Although Zhao Yan had already begun to govern during Zhao Dan's reign, in the general direction, it was Zhao Dan who took the idea, and Zhao Yan only had to deal with some trivial affairs.
Now, as the king of Zhao, Zhao Yan naturally wants to start learning to make his own choices in the general direction.
Lu Yong was a eunuch during Zhao Dan's reign, and he was loyal to the Zhao royal family, so even if Zhao Yan ascended the throne as king, he still reused Lu Yong.
Lu Yong lowered his head and said softly: "If the first king is here, no matter what choice he makes, he will be resolute. β
"Resolute?"
Zhao Yan heard the words and muttered to himself.
In fact, if Zhao Yan was really resolute, even if he formed an alliance with the Qin State to attack Yan, he would gain huge benefits.
It is a pity that in history, due to Zhao Yan's timidity, coupled with the quarrel between the two gangs of the DPRK and China, it was not until the Qin State conquered half of Korea one after another that it really made up its mind to attack Yan.
At that time, it was already the second year.
As soon as the combined forces of Qin and Zhao captured the two cities of Yan, Yan bribed LΓΌ Buwei with the ten cities of Hejian, and finally made LΓΌ Buwei tear up the alliance between Qin and Zhao.
LΓΌ Buwei got ten cities in Hejian as a fief, but he was still a little dissatisfied, and was ready to raise troops to attack Zhao Yiguang's fiefdom in Hejian.
In order to ally Yan to attack Zhao, LΓΌ Buwei asked Zhang Tang to go to Yan as the prime minister, and let Dan, the prince of Yan, enter Qin.
Zhang Tang's itinerary was determined, and when he had not yet arrived in Yan State, Gan Luo recommended himself to go to Zhao State to open up relations, so as not to be unfavorable to Zhang Tang.
Gan Luo entered Zhao and said to Zhao Yan: "Wang Wenyan Prince Dan into Qin Zhen? β
The king said, "Smell it." β
Gan Luo asked again: "Hearing Zhang Tang Xiangyan? β
The king said, "Smell it." β
Gan Luo then said: "If Prince Yan enters Qin, Yan will not deceive Qin. Zhang Tang Xiangyan, Qin does not bully Yan. Yan and Qin do not bully each other, and Zhao is in danger. β
Immediately afterwards, Gan Luo elaborated on the purpose of the alliance between Qin and Yan: "Yan and Qin do not deceive each other, and they want to attack Zhao and Guanghe. β
Immediately, Gan Luo threw out another unstoppable bait: "The king is not as good as the five cities of the five cities and the Guanghe River, please return to the prince of Yan, and attack the weak Yan with the strong Zhao." β
In order to avoid being besieged by Qin and Yan, Zhao Yan promised to cut off five cities to expand the fiefdom between the rivers of LΓΌ Buwei.
Qin sent away the prince of Yan, and Zhao attacked Yan in a big way, and he had to go to the valley with thirty cities, so that Qin had eleven.
Due to the war between Zhao and Yan, the Qin State relied on its strong deterrent ability to obtain 26 cities without bloodshed, because the weaker the Six Kingdoms and the stronger the Qin State.
If Zhao Yan had acted vigorously and taken advantage of Qin's attack on Han to invade Yan on a large scale, I am afraid that things would not have developed like this.
The Qin State can also have less than twenty-six cities.
It's a pity that Zhao Yan has never had the courage of Zhao Dan.
At this moment, Zhao Yan suddenly knocked on the door and came in, and said, "Gongzijia returns to Handan and asks to see him outside the door!" β
Zhao Yan's face changed slightly, and he asked, "How could he go back to Handan?" β
