Chapter 242: Boiled Frogs in Warm Water

Zhao Jia heard the question of the Korean envoy, but his face was slightly cold, and then he turned his head and asked: "In the past, Feng Ting dedicated the party to Zhao State, which led to disasters and caused Qin to attack Zhao with the strength of the whole country, causing Zhao Youchangping to be defeated. ”

"May I ask after the war, why didn't South Korea hand over the party to Zhao Guo as agreed?"

The faces of the generals of various countries moved slightly, thinking of the great disaster that Zhao Guo suffered because of the party back then, and they couldn't help but focus on the South Korean envoy.

Seeing this, Zhao Jia quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

The reason why Zhao gave the southern part of Shangdang to Wei was not only to encircle it as an ally, but also to let Wei continue to border Qin.

In that case, the Wei State would always maintain its fear and vigilance against the Qin State, and Zhao Jia could tie it to the chariot of Hezong.

It's just that South Korea is, after all, one of the countries of cooperation.

If the party is hastily occupied and not returned to South Korea, it is difficult to guarantee that the rest of the countries will not be chilled by this, and then affect the confidence of all countries.

Now, Zhao Jia mentioned the old incident of the Changping War in order to give Zhao Guo a reasonable excuse to occupy the party.

The State of Chu was close to the State of Zhao, so he would naturally support Zhao Jia unreservedly.

Wei had Zhao Jia's promise to cede the six southern cities of Shangdang, and naturally did not want Shangdang to be taken back by South Korea.

With the support of Chu and Wei, even if Qi and Yan have some ideas, they will definitely not speak for South Korea, and Zhao Jia will naturally have the final say on the party's ownership at that time.

When the Korean envoy heard this, his face immediately turned red, but he quickly reacted and said: "Offering the party to Zhao Guo back then was just Feng Ting's personal move, and it was not approved by the king, so naturally it should not be taken seriously." ”

"What's more, it was a long time ago, and Childe is a little too reluctant to take it out now."

Zhao Jia said with a smile: "Since Your Excellency said that it was a long time ago and can't be taken out to talk about things, then we will talk about the party now." ”

"Before South Korea joined the Allied Forces, who occupied the party?"

Before the Korean envoy could speak, General Wei had already laughed and said, "Naturally, it is occupied by the Zhao State." ”

Zhao Jia smiled at General Wei and continued: "At that time, Zhao and Han were enemies, and Qin even captured Yewang and cut off the connection between Korea and Shangdang. ”

"What's more, in addition to providing grain and grass in this war, South Korea did not contribute much, Qi and Yan did not gain an inch of land, but let South Korea occupy two weeks of rich land, Han Zong exchanged two weeks of rich land for the party, I am afraid it will not suffer."

"Is South Korea still greedy enough, occupying two weeks of wealth, and still wanting to return to the party?"

When the generals of Qi and Yan heard this, they also echoed one after another: "Compared with us, South Korea has already gained a lot, if they don't divide the party to Zhao and Wei, won't they have gained an inch of land in this battle?" ”

"Childe has long said that all countries in the alliance must gain benefits, how can they let South Korea profit alone!"

The State of Chu and the State of Zhao were on good terms, and this time they took the entire Nanjun with the blessing of Zhao Jia, and the national strength increased greatly, and Chunshenjun Huang Xie and the generals of the State of Chu naturally spoke for Zhao Jia.

For a time, the generals of various countries agreed to divide the party to Zhao and Wei, and the Korean envoys did not dare to say anything more when they saw this situation.

After all, South Korea is a small country, and this time it occupies two weeks of rich land, which has already aroused the red eyes of all countries, and if the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, it is difficult to guarantee that the countries will not simply destroy South Korea and divide up its territory.

It was only at this time that the Korean envoy reacted to why Zhao Jia would give up two weeks of rich land to South Korea in the first place.

It turned out that Zhao Guo had long been unwilling to return to the party, and letting South Korea occupy two weeks of rich land was also compensation to South Korea in disguise.

However, the weak country has no diplomacy, especially when the spoils of war are divided among the countries, the weak South Korea does not have the slightest say at all, and can only hope for the handouts of the big powers.

The South Korean envoy also knew that no matter what, he could not turn his face with other countries, otherwise even if the countries did not destroy Korea, South Korea would not be able to stop the attack of Qin, and it would be difficult to escape the fate of the country sooner or later.

This is the sorrow and helplessness of a weak country.

What's more, when Qin and Zhao attacked South Korea, South Korea had already decided to dedicate Shangdang to Zhao, but they didn't expect the situation to be unpredictable, which led to Shangdang finally being forcibly occupied by Zhao.

Since he was unable to win back the party, the South Korean envoy would not be bored with himself, so he could only endure silently.

Now, although South Korea has lost its Shangdang, it has gained two weeks of rich land, and its territory is not as easy to be cut off as before, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Seeing that the Korean envoy had nothing to say, Zhao Jia's tone eased slightly, and said in a deep voice: "If you return to the king of Han, you will say that the party will be divided between Zhao and Wei, but South Korea has two weeks of rich land, as long as it is managed well, the national strength will rise instead of falling." ”

"If we attack Qin again in the future, Korea will be able to expand its territory again."

The South Korean envoy did not dare to refute, so he had to make promises.

Seeing that the party's belonging was a foregone conclusion, General Wei said a little greedily: "Now that the Qin State can't shrink, Hedong will take what he wants, in this case, Wei State simply occupies the entire Hedong, isn't it beautiful?" ”

Zhao Jia asked rhetorically: "Wei State occupies the entire Hedong, can it hold it?" ”

General Wei was puzzled: "The strength of Wei is far inferior to that of Qin, so naturally it can't stop Qin's troops, but if you get the seven cities in Hedong, you must also guard against Qin, and you must also guard against Qin when you occupy the entire Hedong." ”

"In this case, why not simply occupy the entire east of the river and weaken the country of Qin?"

Zhao Jia walked to the front of the map, pointed to Hedong and said: "If the Wei State occupies the entire Hedong, Hangu Pass has become a decoration, and in the future, the coalition army will be able to send troops from Hedong to make a detour to Puban and go straight to Xianyang." ”

"Does the general think that the Qin State will sit back and watch the entire Hedong be occupied by the Wei State?"

When Wei Jiang heard this, he was silent.

If Wei really occupies the entire Hedong, the Qin State will continue this war even if it exerts all its national strength for its own safety, recapture Hedong, and establish a defense line centered on Hangu Pass.

At that time, even if the coalition forces were a threat, the Qin State would never give up.

Zhao Jia is sure.

As long as the coalition forces retreated, the Qin State would inevitably send troops to recapture Hedong, and even if it could not hold it, it would not fall into the hands of the Wei State.

On the contrary, if Wei only occupies a small piece of uninhabited territory east of Hedong, Qin can still rely on the danger of Jingshan to deploy defenses, and may not be able to break the net at any cost.

The rice should be eaten slowly, the meat should be cut slowly, and the frog should be boiled in warm water.

It really forced the Qin State completely, and made the Qin State feel the great danger, and it was really going to be a war at that time.

The most important thing for the coalition forces now is to digest the spoils of war, not to continue to fight the Qin state.

If such a large-scale war continues, it will naturally be difficult for the Qin State to sustain it, and the Six Kingdoms may also be dragged down, there are too many uncertainties, and both sides are unwilling to take risks.
