Qin Wangji received the battle report from the front line in Xianyang and couldn't wait to open it and watch it. Qin Wangji saw that after the abolition of the empress dowager and the expulsion of the four nobles, he attacked the important towns of Han Cheng and Chengfen west of Taihang in South Korea, and beheaded nearly 60,000 of Korea's battle results, and said with great joy: "As soon as Wu Anjun comes out, the princes are invincible!" ”

When the ministers heard of the great victory at the front, they congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to the king." ”

Qin Wangji smiled and read another copy of the national letter, his face sank, leaving Qin Xiang Fan Ju and a few close ministers to send the others away. Although the ministers didn't understand that King Qin was smiling a second ago, he was murderous the next. The ministers couldn't figure out Qin Wangji, so they hurriedly saluted and bowed to retire.

Fan Ju saw that Qin Wangji would have such a change, which must be related to the national letter sent back. Fan Ju said tentatively: "Your Majesty, our war against Korea has been won. The ministers did not see the slightest joy in the king. ”

"Look at it!" Qin Wangji threw the national letter in his hand to Fan Ju. Fan Ju bowed down and picked up the national letter on the ground, read the contents of the book, and finally understood the reason for the sudden change in King Qin's expression.

Qin Wangji's expression was slightly angry, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Wu Anjun is good at fighting, but he is also too arrogant. The widow did not give the order to further attack Korea. However, he led the army alone and attacked the territory east of Taihang in Korea. ”

Fan Ju said: "As soon as Wu Anjun comes out, he will definitely be able to break through the territory east of Taihang. ”

Seeing that Fan Ju didn't understand what he meant, King Qin said angrily: "It's not that the widow doesn't let him continue to attack Korea, but he is angry with him and doesn't put the widow in his eyes." ”

The meaning expressed by Qin Wangji was too obvious, how could Fan Ju not know. Fan Ju had already said the wrong sentence, which made Qin Wangji furious. At this moment, only silence is golden. Qin Wangji remembered that Bai Qi's status in the army far surpassed him, and he was sweating, and a trace of worry also appeared in his heart.

Bai Qi ignored the king's order and issued a decree to destroy Han, which made Qin Wangji feel that his royal power had been provoked.

Fan Ju knew what Qin Wangji was worried about. He also knew what Bai Qi wanted. What King Qin wanted was royal power, the right that everyone feared. What Bai Qi wants is military exploits, unparalleled military exploits.

However, Qin Wangji was very suspicious. Qin Wangji wanted to expand his territory and surpass his ancestors. But I'm afraid that I won't be able to control the generals. Whether it is Marquis Wei Ran or Huayang Jun Qi Rong, they have caused a lot of shadows to Qin Wangji. Qin Wangji thought of the four nobles, and did not think that Bai Qi's move was to open up territory for him, but that he was too lawless.

Seeing that Fan Ju was silent, Qin Wangji asked, "What do you think of this matter?" ”

Fan Ju saw that Qin Wangji's deep eyes showed coldness, and said gently: "The minister's opinion is the same as that of the king. ”

Fan Ju didn't say what King Qin's thoughts were, but he showed that his attitude was in sync with King Qin. Hearing this, Qin Wangji took a deep breath and said slowly: "Attacking South Korea is not an overnight thing. South Korea is not weak to be bullied. We want to annex hundreds of miles of territory in Korea, and the princes will not agree to it when they see it. In that year, the Qi State monopolized the territory of the Song State for hundreds of miles, and was besieged by the princes of the Central Plains, and the national strength was greatly damaged. If the widow had destroyed Korea in a war, wouldn't he have become the target of siege by the princes? ”

The ministers also said, "What the king said is very true. Wu Anjun invaded South Korea, this is not to provoke disputes and expand contradictions. When the princes of the Central Plains saw it, how would they respond? ”

Fan Ju saw that these ministers were all applying for Bai Qi, expanding the war, and pushing the Qin State into the abyss. Fan Ju saw that Qin Wangji did not cater to these people's views, so he figured out that Qin Wangji wanted to continue to attack Korea. However, his proposition is not to pursue and attack South Korea relentlessly, but to win steadily step by step and encroach on South Korea's territory.

"Your words are also what the widow is most worried about." Qin Wangji looked at the ministers in the palace, and lowered his speed of speech, "The widow attacked Korea, although Wei and Zhao did not rush to the aid of Korea, they also gathered heavy troops on the border. If the widow points the sword at Xinzheng, there are signs of the death of the country. South Korea will fight back bravely in Xinzheng. Wei and Zhao saw it, and they wouldn't care. The state of Chu and the state of Qi will not watch us destroy Korea. If we are not careful, Korea will become the point of fire for the princes to attack us. ”

The ministers said: "The king's plan, the ministers can't wait." ”

Qin Wangji looked at Fan Ju and asked, "The power of the Qin State, can it meet the princes of the world." ”

Fan Ju said: "No. ”

Qin Wangji also knew that the power of the Qin State was facing the Zhao State, and he was slightly tired. Coupled with Han and Wei, Qin had no chance of winning. How could the Qin State face the princes of the world alone. The reason why Qin Wangji asked this question was to warn the ministers not to despise the princes of the world.

One said: "Your Majesty, should we call Wu Anjun back?" ”

Qin Wangji also felt that Bai Qi was a sharp sword, he could hurt the enemy and himself. Fan Ju saw that although King Qin did not agree, he did not oppose either. Fan Ju also felt that Bai Qi's move would definitely defeat South Korea, and answered: "Xianyang is too far away from Wu Anjun. When the king's edict was sent to Wu Anjun, Wu Anjun had already conquered the territory east of Taihang in Korea. ”

Qin Wangji was silent for a while, and said, "Yes!" When the widow's edict arrived at Wu Anjun. The war between Qin and South Korea has expanded and escalated. Now, the widow has no choice but to continue the war with South Korea. ”

Fan Ju understood Qin Wangji's helplessness, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The Three Jin Dynasty is no longer the Three Jin Dynasty of King Zhao Wuling's era. It is impossible for the current Sanjin to come together. ”

Qin Wangji was relieved when he heard that the three Jin could not be united.

One person asked, "Why did Prime Minister Qin conclude that the three Jin can't come together." ”

Fan Ju asked: "My country attacked Korea, and the king of Han asked Zhao and Wei for help. The result? Wei and Zhao refused to send troops. If it was the era of King Zhao Wuling, the Three Jin Dynasty would definitely unite and fight me together. The current Sanjin will only fight with each other. ”

Qin Wangji's thoughts were not as optimistic as Fan Ju, and his eyebrows frowned: "Although Wei and Zhao did not send troops to help Han, they also mobilized heavy troops and made a posture to help Han attack me at any time. Wei and Zhao's attitudes are flickering, and we can't take it lightly. ”

Fan Ju said: "We have broken through the territory west of Taihang in Korea. Wei, Zhao and other princes were unmoved. What does this phenomenon mean? ”

Qin Wangji said: "Wei and Zhao did not help Han, it was they who mistakenly thought that the outnumbered people's conquest of Korea was just a small fight. The outnumbered people attacked the territory west of Taihang in Korea just to tell them. The ambition of the widow is far less than that. ”

Fan Ju naturally understood what Qin Wangji's ambition was, but he pretended not to know and asked, "The king's ambition is to suppress Korea?" ”

Qin Wangji's eyes ignited with a sense of war, and he said loudly: "The widow not only wants to suppress South Korea, but also wants South Korea to collapse, and dare not be the enemy of Qin." ”

Fan Ju didn't believe that Qin Wangji's ambition was just for South Korea. Qin Wangji is determined to be in the princes to fight for the world. However, the first step in fighting for the world is to send troops to attack South Korea.

Qin Wangji asked in a powerful tone: "My country and South Korea have been fighting for more than 100 years, but we can't clean up the troubles of South Korea. Qin Xiang, why is this? ”

Fan Ju, a native of Wei, is not a stranger to South Korea, and replied: "South Korea is in the middle of the world, with a superior geographical location and a developed economy. In addition, the good bows and crossbows are all from Han, far ahead of the princes. South Korea was defeated by our country, but it was able to recover and compete with us. ”

Qin Wangji said: "If the widows want to occupy the territory of Korea, they can only fight with it. If the widows don't knock South Korea down, South Korea will get back on its feet. How can the widows defeat South Korea in a war. ”

When Fan Ju saw Qin Wangji's words, he coincided with Wu Anjun's Bai Qi, and hurriedly said: "What Wu Anjun did was exactly what the king thought. ”

Fan Ju said again: "In this battle, we have gained the territory west of Taihang. However, Taihang is a natural barrier, and if we can occupy the territory east of Taihang, we will be able to touch the Central Plains and fight for the world. ”

Touch the Central Plains to fight for the world. These words deeply convinced Qin Wangji. Are these words also the goal that the ancestors of the Qin State fought for?

Fan Ju continued: "If Wu Anjun can gain a firm foothold in the east of Taihang. Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended. China's involvement in the Central Plains to fight for the world will be unstoppable. If we can defeat the wild king of Korea, we can cut off the territory of Korea. South Korea's 200-mile territory is like picking up things. ”

Qin Wangji said: "The widow can take advantage of the situation and obtain the land of the party in Korea." There are only a hundred miles left in Korea, how can it compete with my Great Qin. ”

"Our country got the party, not only to weaken Korea, but also to attack the princes in the east." Fan Ju paused a little, and then said: "The land of the party is unique. It is also a natural barrier for the princes of the Central Plains to suppress our Qin State. When our country occupies Shangdang, we can not only attack Xinzheng in South Korea, Daliang of Wei, and Handan of Zhao to the east, but also look north at Jinyang, the old capital of Zhao, and occupy the territory of Zhao. One day, the Qin State will be able to sweep the princes and become a king. ”

"The widow is based on the party, attacks the princes, and becomes the cause of the king." Qin Wangji's words changed sharply, and he said: "More than ten years ago, the widow attacked the Zhao State and fought with the First War, why did my country fail. It is because of the danger that Zhao State occupies the land of the party. If the widow can join the party, should the princes of the world be afraid of my Qin State? ”

Fan Ju said loudly: "If this is the case, the cause of King Qin's hegemony is just around the corner." ”

Seeing that Qin State could establish the cause of hegemony and realize the wishes of his ancestors, Qin Wangji suddenly felt a lot of pride in his chest and exclaimed, "Okay." As long as you can establish a king, no matter what the price is, everyone can accept it. The order was given to Bai Qi, and he quickly broke through Taihang and went to the party. To help the widows, get involved in the Central Plains, and fight for the world. ”
