Chapter 241: Dividing the Land

If possible, Zhao Jia was never willing to retreat, and even wanted to take the opportunity to destroy the Qin State.

However, Zhao Jia knew that with a coalition army that was not a united heart, it was almost impossible to destroy the Qin State.

Now that the coalition forces have achieved a phased victory, they have not only made great gains, but also greatly consumed the national strength of the Qin State, and the short-term strategic goal has been achieved.

Rather than continue to stalemate with the Qin State here, and finally due to the problem of grain and grass, each country had a gap, and even parted ways and was broken by the Qin State one by one, resulting in the failure of the alliance, it was better to accept it when it was good and take the initiative to withdraw its troops.

The coalition forces took the initiative to withdraw their troops, which could not only protect their vested interests, but also boost the confidence of all countries and lay a solid foundation for another joint attack on Qin in the future.

On the contrary, if the coalition forces were defeated by the Qin army one by one because of grain and grass or other problems, Zhao Jia, as the initiator of the alliance, would inevitably have to shoulder this responsibility.

With this defeat, not only will the countries not be able to keep their vested interests, but even the next time the Qin State goes east, it will not be so easy to think about it.

It was with these in mind that Zhao Jia took the initiative to withdraw his troops.

"What if the coalition retreats and Qin turns east to recapture the two-week homeland?"

The person who asked this sharp question was the envoy sent by King Han, who not only asked about the worries in his heart, but also attracted the attention of the state of Chu.

It can be said that in this joint attack on Qin, the state of Chu not only captured the military fortress Wuguan, but also took the entire southern county, and I am afraid that it has been hated by the state of Qin.

Although the king of Chu was not ashamed, he released words to recruit troops from all over the country to attack Guanzhong and destroy the Qin State Sheji.

Without the backing of the coalition army, the state of Chu would never dare to compete with the state of Qin, so the state of Chu, like Korea, was worried that after the retreat of the coalition army, it would be retaliated by the state of Qin.

When Zhao Jia heard this, he said loudly: "Although this battle has achieved a phased victory, the strength of the Qin State still cannot be ignored, and it only takes three years and five years for him to recover again." ”

"If we don't unite to defend against the enemy, sooner or later we will be defeated by the Qin State one by one."

"Although we withdraw our troops today, we might as well make an alliance, and in the future, whenever Qin goes east, no matter what the relationship between the countries is, we must join forces to attack Qin again."

"Don't worry, since Zhao Jia has asked all countries to send troops, after winning the war, it will naturally let all countries get corresponding benefits."

"As long as the six countries work together to resist Qin, Qin will definitely not dare to go east!"

"I wonder how you feel about this proposal?"

After the retreat of the coalition forces, the Qin State could certainly recapture the two-week homeland, and it was even possible to recapture the Southern County from the Chu State again.

However, as long as the coalition forces work together, even if the Qin State recaptures those lands, it will not want to hold it.

Since it could not be defended, the Qin State might not dare to start a war easily.

"Childe's words, I'm afraid it's a little unconvincing."

"In this battle, the Wei State sent 100,000 elite soldiers, and even transported a lot of grain and grass, but the Chu State got Nanjun and Wuguan, and Korea got two weeks of homeland, and even Qi and Yan took away a lot of people from Hedong, but my Wei State did not gain anything."

"Dare to ask Gongzi, where are the benefits of the Wei State?"

There is no oligo, only unevenness.

During this time, the generals of Wei had already begun to feel resentful, especially when they saw that all countries had gained, but Wei had gained nothing, and they were even more jealous.

In the eyes of General Wei, Wei's contribution was far greater than that of Han and Yan, but he did not get the due return, no matter who this kind of thing was put on, I am afraid that there would be some resentment in his heart.

When the generals of various countries heard this, they also set their eyes on Zhao Jia, wanting to see how the other party would deal with this kind of thing.

To tell the truth, it is far better for all countries to follow Zhao Jia's joint attack on Qin than it has been many times before, after all, following Zhao Jia to attack Qin, you can still have a bite to eat after victory.

However, in the past, even if various countries jointly attacked Qin, most of them were only to curb Qin's eastward expansion, but no country dared to occupy Qin's territory, for fear of being retaliated by Qin after the war.

In such a kind of cooperation, the countries spent countless manpower and material resources, and as a result, they did not get any substantial benefits at all except to curb the eastward exit of the Qin State.

Far-sighted people naturally knew the necessity of joining forces to attack Qin, but many of the people of their own country who suffered a lot from it had a lot of complaints, and even many of those who served in the military because of this were resentful of the king's actions.

If Zhao Jia can really guarantee that every time the countries join forces to attack Qin, they will naturally be willing to follow Zhao Jia to fight Qin together.

However, due to the geographical location, Qi and Yan do not border with Qin, and the possibility of obtaining Qin's territory is relatively low, and if it is just an enclave, the two countries may not be able to defend it.

Previously, the state of Wei also bordered the state of Qin.

However, after the last joint attack on Qin, because Nanyang County was divided by Chu, Wei, and Han, the border between Wei and Qin was greatly reduced.

This time, the state of Chu occupied Wuguan, and the state of Wei no longer had a land bordering the state of Qin.

In this case, it will not be so easy for Wei to carve up Qin's territory, and on the contrary, Wei's threat to Qin will be greatly reduced.

Zhao Jia knew that if he couldn't give Wei a satisfactory answer, it would not be so easy to get Wei to join the army willingly in the future.

However, Zhao Jia had already had a plan in his heart about this matter, and immediately smiled and said: "This time to attack Qin, Wei has contributed a lot, so naturally Wei will not let Wei gain nothing." ”

"If Wei doesn't dislike it, I can represent Zhao and cede all the south of the Duan clan of Shangdang County and the north of Li Cheng to the Wei State."

"Even, as long as the Wei State is ambitious enough, the seven cities east of Pingshan in Hedong County can also be occupied by the Wei State!"

When Wei Jiang heard this, he was immediately stunned, and his exhalation became rapid.

South of Sangdang-gun, Duanji, and north of Leeseong, is the land of Korea, where rivers crisscross the land, the land is fertile, and the population is large, with a total of seven cities.

Although the population of Hedong County has been moved, the territory of the seven cities east of Pingshan is not small, and if it is given to the meritorious heroes of the Wei State as fiefs, it can also be developed there quickly.

If Wei really got these territories, then he would get a total of thirteen cities, equivalent to half a county, how could Wei General not be excited?

But soon, Wei Jiang calmed down.

"This time, Wei no longer borders with Qin, which is equivalent to removing a strong enemy, if you accept those thirteen cities, Wei will still be an important target for Qin to go east in the future."

"It's just that now that Zhao State is presiding over the affairs of the alliance, the Qin State may not dare to go east in a short time, if it does not dare to accept the thirteen cities because of the fear of the Qin State, it will inevitably be suspected of choking and abandoning food."

Just as General Wei was about to agree, the Korean envoy said sharply: "The southern part of Shangdang is Korean territory, how can Gongzi cede it to Wei at will?" ”

When everyone heard this, they reacted, and they all set their eyes on Zhao Jia, wanting to see how the other party would deal with this matter.
