Chapter 251: Choice
In the bedroom, everyone's eyes were focused on Fan Zeng, even Lian Po's eyes showed disbelief.
Then, Lian Po also breathed a long sigh of relief.
To be honest, even if Zhao Yan is unfair to him, Lian Po does not want to see Zhao's internal turmoil, because that is very likely to ruin Zhao's Zhongxing.
What's more, Zhao Jia now has an excellent reputation, and if he competes with his father for the throne, even if he can succeed in the end, he will lose a lot.
"It is really a great luck for Zhao Jia to have the help of Mr. in this life!"
Zhao Jia also sighed at Fan Zeng's foresight, and was not angry at all because of the other party's self-assertion, but solemnly bowed and expressed his intentions.
But soon, Zhao Jia was puzzled: "Since my father is suspicious of me, and he is just deliberately doing it for other countries, why did Mr. come here?" “
Fan Zeng said with a straight face when he heard this: "I want to ask your lord, is you willing to let Zhao Guo slowly become strong step by step, or take a big risk to grow rapidly?" ”
Zhao Jia's pupils shrank, and he asked with some confusion: "What does Mr. mean by this?" ”
Fan Zeng said: "If you want Zhao to slowly prosper step by step, the king only needs to return to the land of Shenqi and maintain a clear discord with the king, so that Zhao Guo has enough time to digest the results of the battle and move towards prosperity step by step." ”
"If the monarch chooses this path, as long as the monarch and the ministers are of the same heart, and the monarch does not make big mistakes, and continues to unite the countries while the Zhao State is prosperous, looking for opportunities to weaken the Qin State, thirty years later, the Zhao State may hope to become the strongest in the world!"
When Zhao Jia heard this, he fell into deep thought.
According to the current development momentum of the Zhao State, if it can continue like this, there is indeed hope that it will surpass the Qin State and become the strongest vassal state in the world after thirty years.
It's just that Zhao Jia was probably already old at that time.
What's more, Qin Wangzheng is also growing up slowly, how can this first emperor in Chinese history be easy to match?
Such a plan is good, but unfortunately it is full of variables, and the road to the prosperity of Zhao will not be too easy.
And Zhao Jia has other worries.
If you always unite the vassal states against the Qin state, while the Zhao state grows, the rest of the countries will also grow, and even if the Qin state can be destroyed in the end, there will inevitably be a situation where the six countries will stand side by side.
Zhao Jia relived a lifetime, naturally wanted to make great achievements comparable to Qin Shi Huang, and did not want to survive until old age, Zhao Guo was just a mere overlord.
Thinking of this, Zhao Jia suddenly remembered Li Si's previous plan, while weakening the Qin State without destroying the Hezong Alliance, cannibalize the rest of the countries to strengthen the Zhao State.
It's just that it's a little too difficult to meet those two preconditions.
In order to stabilize the mood of various countries and let the alliance continue, Zhao Jia still sent a small half of the party.
"Dare to ask sir, how can we make Zhao State grow rapidly?"
Fan Zeng had a smile on his face when he heard this, and then spread out a map and pointed to the Yan Kingdom in the northeast.
The next day, Zhao Jia went to the palace of the king of Wei to bid farewell to the king of Wei.
Before leaving, Wei Li asked, "Gongzi did not return to the land of Shenqi, but turned to the Yan Kingdom, but why?" ”
Zhao Jia was silent for a long time when he heard this, and then sighed helplessly: "The king's order is difficult to disobey, and it has to be like this!" ”
Wei Li watched Zhao Jia gradually move away, and then muttered to himself: "I hope what happened to Gongzi Wuji will not be repeated in Gongzi Jia." ”
At the same time that Zhao Jia sent an envoy to Yan from Wei, the news of the discord between Zhao Yan and Zhao Jia's father and son has become more and more intense, and Zhao Jia's whereabouts have undoubtedly become the most powerful evidence.
When everyone heard the news, some secretly rejoiced, and some sighed.
At this time, Zhao Jia was on his way to Yanguo, Fan Zeng and Han Cang stayed in Daliang for a while, and they also set off to return to Handan.
As for Lian Po, he took Zhao Jia's letters and seals and went towards the land of Shenqi.
Yandu, Jixian County.
Not long after the battle against Qin ended, the whole Yan State couldn't wait to plot the war to recapture the lost city.
Zhao State and they can't afford to provoke it, but Yan State has the confidence to fight with Qi State, in order to regain the rich land of Dukang, even if Yan State has been conquering the treasury for many years is very empty, he still wants to start a war as soon as possible.
"Great King, before attacking Qin, King Zhao had promised that in the future, when the Yan State recaptured the land of Dukang, the Zhao State would never interfere, and would even secretly assist my Yan State."
"Now that the king is ready to attack Qi, what is the attitude of King Zhao?"
Facing the courtier's inquiry, King Yan had a smile on his face and said, "King Zhao has sent Pingqi Jun to envoy Yan Kingdom, and it won't be long before he arrives at Ji, presumably to discuss the ownership of the land of Du Kang!" ”
In the matter of attacking and recapturing the land of Dukang, King Yan just sent people to Handan to test King Zhao's style, but he didn't expect King Zhao to attach so much importance to it and send the famous Gongzi Jia to Yan Kingdom.
With Zhao Jiazhi's prestige, as long as he is willing to stand on the side of Yan Guo, Yan Guo may even recapture the land of Du Kang without blood, how can King Yan not be happy?
I never thought that at this time, someone said something: "Pingqi Jun and Qi Xiang Zhou Zi are good friends, and he will not help the king to recapture the land of Du Kang, and please prepare for it early!" ”
King Yan looked up and found that the person who spoke was none other than Cai Ze, who had served as Qin Minister in the Qin State.
Now that the Zhao State is powerful, coupled with the Qi State eyeing the country, the attitude of the Yan State Wenwu towards the Zhao State has also changed greatly, from the previous covetousness and ill intentions, to groveling.
Many Yan civil and military officials hope that Yan Guo can make friends with Zhao from now on.
Therefore, as soon as Cai Ze's voice fell, someone immediately retorted: "Zhao is a strong country, how can King Zhao go back on his word?" “
"And now that Zhao is so strong, even Qin has to avoid its edge, Yan has been defeated repeatedly, and its national strength has already been greatly damaged, and now there is a strong enemy of Qi, and it should no longer be an enemy of Zhao."
Yan Xiangjunqu, who has always been friendly to Zhao and advocates joining forces with Zhao to resist Qin, said coldly: "Your Excellency said that you have prepared early, don't you want to persuade the king to form an alliance with Qin?" ”
"The previous division of the city and the alliance with Qin to attack Zhao have already caused the Zhao State to lose the land of the governor, and now the Qin State is still insufficient to protect itself, how can there be spare strength to help Yan attack Zhao?"
"Could it be that you have served in the Qin State for many years, and you have long forgotten your identity as a Yan person, ignoring the interests of the Yan State, and planning for the Qin State everywhere!"
The Yan State allied with the Qin State to attack Zhao several times, but the results were all defeats and losses, losing the city and land, so it was not embarrassing.
Therefore, in the face of Cai Ze, the former Qin Xiang, Jiangqu, who is dedicated to Yan, will be so aggressive and not give the other party the slightest affection.
In the face of everyone's accusations, Cai Ze chose to remain silent.
However, Cai Ze believes that Zhao Jia will not come to Yan Country to help Yan Kingdom regain the land of Dukang.
If Yan Guo pinned all his hopes on Zhao Jia, he would eventually be empty, and sooner or later Yan Guo would not be able to bear the oppression of Zhao State, and then choose to ally with Qin State.
