Chapter Seventy-Five: Boundaries
Huge interests, but more attractive than interests, is that after this battle, the State of Qi will become a great power in the world, and truly stand on top of the State of Chu and Qin. Is the state of Chu credible? The king of Chu pulled out Linzi without substantiation, and fulfilled his promise to return to the government in Qi, which is naturally credible. But what about the Chu people? What about the descendants of the King of Chu?
Xinyi has long been unreliable, at least not completely reliable, and what is truly reliable is the balance of power. The Qi people are intelligent, and the reason why the Qi State of the King of Qi was broken by the countries was only because the balance of power of the three kingdoms of Qin, Qi, and Chu was broken by the Qi people themselves. If Kuang Zhang had not broken the Chu army in the chuisha, due to the existence of the Chu State, the Qi State might not have ended up like the one later. If the Qi State can win the Dong County, Hanoi County and Zhao Land, the world will return to the era of the three great powers more than 70 years ago.
The Chu people may not be credible, but the Qin people can't be trusted at all. If you really agree to the Qin envoy, the Qin State will definitely regret it afterwards, not only will it regret it, but it will also denounce the Qi people for their lack of faith and righteousness on the side of the Chu State, and ask the Qin and Chu coalition forces to attack Qi together......
There are too many such routines among the nations. Wang Ao's words may have persuaded Qi Wangjian, but he did not fully convince the Qi State Zhengchao doctor. The Chu army has a thundering weapon, and the 100,000 Chu army can attack Guanzhong and pull out Xianyang, what will happen if these 100,000 Chu troops attack Muling Pass? offended the Qin State, and the Chu State rescued each other; If you offend the State of Chu, will the State of Qin come to the rescue? Even if they save each other, can they really be saved?
The doctors of the Qi State agreed with Wang Ao's words, but they had no objection that the Chu State had succeeded the Qin State as the overlord of the world. The State of Qi could only manage to expand its territory with the permission of the State of Chu, or at least with the acquiescence of the State of Qin, and could not privately engage with the State of Qin and provoke the overlord of the State of Chu.
The next day, Wang Ao's words were transmitted to Yingdu, but not to the cunning who presided over the government, but to Tian Jiao, the envoy who went to Yingdu. The three kingdoms of Qi, Zhao, and Wei, including the dead Korea, and Yan Liang, the son of Dan, the prince of Yan, who had escaped from Qin, all gathered in Yingdu. South Korea because of the relationship between Miqin, Han Cheng and Zhang Liang can still be listed in the court, after Prince Yan Dan committed suicide by Jing Ke's assassination of Qin, his son Yan Liang had no influence in Ying, and he couldn't even enter the Zheng Dynasty.
In the palace of Zhuao, Tian Jiao, Lian Yu, Wei Jianwei and others are faced with a map of the world, and the five kingdoms of Chu, Qin, Qi, Wei, and Zhao are drawn on the map in five colors. In the south of Zhao Guoyan Land and Dai Land, only Handan remains, but the color of the lost land has not changed; Nanjun, Nanyang County, and Shangyu are all painted with the same red color as the land of Chu to indicate belonging; Although Korea was annexed by the Qin State, the color of Yingchuan County was also different from the gray of the Qin State; Qi and Wei have not been at war, and their borders have not changed.
Looking at the land of Zhao on the map, Lian Yu couldn't help but say: "The two counties of Qin Taiyuan and Shangdang are all my Zhao land." ”
The color of the Zhao land, which was annexed by the Qin State, remained unchanged, but it was mixed with a layer of dark gray of the Qin State. The map is drawn meticulously, but Lian Yu feels that it is not accurate.
"The map of the world after the king's accession to the throne has changed in nine years, and it is still Zhao Di." Nao replied slyly. Isolated in the west of Taihang Mountain, it was only in recent years that the Qin people uprooted the Zhao land. "The widow thinks that the world is the world of the nations, not the world of the city, and now Xianyang has been broken, and the Qin state will decline, so the countries should redefine the world and determine the borders.
The land of disadvantages, except for the old Ying, but the square city. To the north of Fangcheng, it has nothing to do with the disadvantages......"
Those places that the state of Chu wanted, Xiong Jing, Zhu Ao, and the courtiers of the Zheng Dynasty discussed countless times before the war. Although there are various opinions, these opinions are still mainly based on Fuying. Jiuying and Nanyang were actually one before the Middle Ages, Nanyang generally belonged to Jianghan, and after the Middle Ages, Nanyang belonged to the Central Plains.
The Jianghan Plain, as the old Chu land, is naturally owned by the Chu State, and the Nanyang Fangcheng together with the Jianghan Serial, of course, is also owned by the Chu State. To the west of Nanyang, Zhang Yi coaxed the 600 miles of Shang Yu of the former monarch Huai Wang - Shang Yu was related to Wuguan Dao, and the Qin State did not separate it into a county, or belong to a certain county, but directly governed the internal history, which naturally belonged to the Chu State.
In addition to Shangyu, there is also Hanzhong County, which has not been fully taken so far, which is also owned by the Chu State. The Hanzhong County of Qin was an expansion of the earlier Hanzhong County of the Chu State, which did not include Nanzheng (i.e., the Hanzhong Basin), which was subordinate to the Shu State at that time, and only included the Shiquan of the Ba State (now Ankang Shiquan, located on the eastern edge of the Hanzhong Basin). According to the Qin and Han Middle Counties, they will completely control the Qinling Mountains, which is a strategic place, and of course cannot be ceded.
The places that Chu State wanted, except for Fangcheng, which made Wei Jian worry and Han Cheng coveted, and Hanzhong County, which made Zhu Yue discuss, there were no other places that made people disagree. Everyone's eyes are more focused on the Central Plains, especially Sanchuan County, Hanoi County, and Dong County.
"All the countries were sealed by Zhou Tianzi, so the widow thought that the land of Luoyang should be returned to the Zhou people." Nao was the first to put forward the requirements of the Chu State, except for the requirements of the Chu State itself, and also hoped to return Luoyang to the Zhou people.
"The Eastern Zhou Dynasty Jun Ji Gen has died, and his descendants ......" Han Cheng is stupid, if Zhang Liang is here, he will definitely wrap this matter up and become a Ji Gen's son-in-law.
"There are so many heirs surnamed Ji, the land of Luoyang is given to the Zhou people, and there is no objection to the disadvantages." Tian Jiao didn't care about the fate of Luoyang, only about the belonging of Dong County and Hanoi County. "In today's battle against Qin, the Yiyi sent the most troops, and Qi and Zhao took the big river as the boundary, so the Yiyi should be the two counties of Dong County and Hanoi......"
"You ......" As soon as Tian Jiao opened his mouth to swallow Dongjun and Hanoi County, Wei Jian was about to refute when he heard this, but before Tian Jiao finished speaking, he continued: "Qin envoy Wang Ao to Linzi, and he said that Qin is willing to cede Dongjun and Hanoi counties, as well as Zhao land south of Hutuoshui. ”
"Really?" Nao was surprised, not only surprised that the Qin envoy arrived in Linzi so quickly, but also surprised by the generosity of the Qin State.
"Yes, yes." Tian Jiao handed over the news from Linzi. "However, it is not a country of faithlessness, and it has been expelled from Linzi."
"Good." Nao cunning glanced at Tian Jiao, and felt the faith of Qi people.
"Linzi thinks that the city has sent the most troops, and the land obtained cannot be smaller than that of other countries." Tian Jiao formally put forward the request of Qi State. "If the Qin State declines, the Zhao State can regain the lost territory, and it can also get the two counties of Taiyuan and Shangjun, the Wei State can get the three counties of Sanchuan, Shangdang and Hedong, and the Republic of Korea can recover the country, and the two counties of Dong County and Hanoi can be recovered, which is not an exaggeration."
"This ......" from the area point of view, according to the division of Tianjiao, Wei and Zhao do not suffer, but the problem is that Dongjun and Hanoi County are in the east, Taiyuan, Shangdang, and Hedong are all west of Taihang Mountain, Shangjun is in the west of Luliang Mountain, and Sanchuan County includes Kunshan Mountain, but the most essential Luoyang Basin has to be returned to the Zhou people, and these five counties are very hot.
"When Yiyi took Hedong County, did the Qi State send troops?" Wei Jian asked worriedly.
"Wei State takes Hedong County Wei State to get it, so naturally it should be Wei State sending troops." Tin Kok Road.
"Oh." Wei Jian had a really such expression, "The Qi State won Dong County and Hanoi County because of the attack on Qin by the countries, and the disadvantage wants to get Hedong County, but it has to take it by itself, which is also biased." ”
"After this defeat, the Qin State will be weak. The Wei army has the thundering weapon of the Chu State, why are the Qin people? Tian Jiao asked rhetorically. And Wei now has only one county, and only 150,000 soldiers can fight, but it has three counties, is this not biased? ”
"In the land of a county, 150,000 soldiers can also break the Qin people. And Puyang and the west of Pingyang are all old lands, how can they be attributed to the Qi country? Wei Jian said angrily. The State of Qi sent the most troops, but did the State of Qi kill the Qin people? I thought that those who killed more Qin people would get the land. ”
Zhao is dying, and Lian Yu just wants to save Zhao; Korea is dead, Han Cheng wants to restore the country, and it is Qi and Wei who really have disputes.
The Eastern County of Wei can only give up to the east of Puyang, and the Hanoi County does not let it in principle, there is really no way, and the east of Gongyi can also be ceded. The state of Qi and the great river of Zhao are boundaries, so they can only expand to the east. Dongjun must be swallowed, this is related to the safety of Linzi. Hanoi County is north of the Great River, Taihang Bacheng, Handan is facing Fukou Cheng, Gongyi holds Baicheng, Hanoi County can give a part to Wei, and the control of Gongyi and Baicheng is in the hands of Qi.
However, this is precisely the most opposition of the Wei state. The west of Taihang Mountain and the east of Luliang Mountain are the land of Jin, and the State of Qi can touch the land of Jin if it has Baicheng, not to mention the State of Wei, even the State of Zhao does not agree. When the Qi State was at its strongest, it did not enter the west of Taihang Mountain.
In the Zhuao Mansion, Wei Jian and Tian Jiao constantly quarreled; In the south of Weishui, Zhao Zheng gradually went crazy against Xianyang City on the other side of Weishui.
Although Wei Yi has been blocking the news, and although Zhao Zheng has not wanted to find out whether the Chu army has pulled out Xianyang, the truth will always emerge.
The capital was pulled out and the Taimiao was burned, even if he was mentally prepared, Zhao Zheng still couldn't do it himself. At first, he was still calm, and he didn't blame Wei Yu for concealing it, nor did he blame the generals in the tent. But in the middle of the night, after a whole day of anger and sadness, he couldn't help crying in the tent.
He thought of the thirty generations of ancestors of the Qin State, the ancestor Feizi who raised horses in Huangshui when he first entered the Guanzhong, and the Qin soldiers who died on the battlefield. The majestic Great Qin was actually attacked by the Chu people and burned the Taimiao, which was a shame that the Qin State had never had. This is a shame, and what is even more shameful is that the 500,000 Qin army can't stop the 100,000 Chu army, Xianyang is obviously in front of him, but he can't cross the Weishui and fight to the death with the Chu army.
Why the Qin army could not cross the Weishui, Wei Yi explained very clearly, Qiangdu must be attacked by the Chu army in the middle of the crossing, bypassing the Chu army and going out of Xianyang to return to Shangyu. All the Qin army could do was to set up a position and wait for the Chu army to run out of food in Weinan. Once the Chu army ran out of food and crossed south, it was the time when the Qin army took the opportunity to attack halfway.
The truth is this truth, but the self-blame and shame in his heart make Zhao Zheng not want to accept this reality. He could only vent at night, or crying, or getting drunk, or killing ......people, and every day he waited, he would go crazy, and within a few days, he would become dry and hot-tempered. Like Xiong Jing, he must use the blood of the Chu people to wash away this shame, and he must destroy the Chu State and raze Yingdu to the ground, so that he can regain his inner peace.
"King Qiqi, Lord Bai and Bai Di are the best." Weinan Wang Curtain, Zhao Zheng, who was wearing loose hair, only showed a pair of vicious eyes. Zhao Gao's report made him hesitate, as if he had forgotten who Lord Bai Di was, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Quick call." ”
