Chapter 192: The affairs of the world are decided by the princes
The Battle of Yiyang, which lasted nearly six months, was finally defeated by Korea and won by Qin. When Han Wangcang learned that Yiyang had fallen, he threw away the bamboo slips in his hand and was furious, "Yiyang has 100,000 people, the armor is innovative, and the grain and grass are sufficient. Yiyang City is wide and wide, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Qin State attacked for five months without success, and morale was low. You tell the widow that the Qin State cannot support it, and he will withdraw his troops and return to the country. Why was Yiyang breached in less than ten days? ”
Han Xianggong Zhong picked up the bamboo slips on the ground, he knew that the king could not accept this bad news for a while, "Your Majesty, the state of Chu has betrayed the alliance. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of our army, they counterattacked us, resulting in the rout of our army. ”
"Chu State." Han Wangcang clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, looked at the ministers in the hall, and asked, "Where are Han Peng and Uncle Gongying?" ”
"The city of Yiyang is broken, the uncle general died in battle for the country, and there is no trace of the big Sima."
"Damn. In this battle, the widow was still defeated by the Qin State. Years of hard work were eventually ruined. Han Wangcang said angrily: "The widow would believe that the Chu State is a reliable ally. ”
"The state of Chu is not credible, and all the princes in the world know it." Uncle Duan of Si Kou Gong deliberately paused, and then said: "Yiyang City is broken, and our army has lost 60,000. But the damage of the Qin State was not small. In this battle, we were the strength of a country to resist the tyrannical Qin for six months, although we were defeated, we were still glorious. ”
"A loss is a loss." Han Wangcang took a deep breath and calmed down, "Chu Guo didn't believe in his words and bullied South Korea. This revenge must be avenged. ”
Gong Zhongxuan asked: "Your Majesty, Yiyang City is broken, how should we deal with the next situation." It's war, it's peace, please make a decision. ”
Han Wangcang's eyes were dark, and he said loudly: "Fight." ”
Gong Zhong said extravagantly: "Your Majesty, the Qin country is powerful, we..."
"The Qin people are like tigers, and the heart of the dead Han is immortal. The outnumbered people were defeated, and the city was cut for peace. When the Qin State gains land and money, it will grow in strength. The Qin State is insatiable, and will always send troops to attack Korea. Korea has a limited land, and the treasure is exhausted. Seeking harmony is tantamount to self-destruction of the Great Wall. Korea is not as good as Qin, but the widow wants all the princes in the world to know that Korea is not a docile lamb and will not be slaughtered. The princes, dare to invade Korea, although Korea is weak, it will fight to the end. ”
Gong Zhong asked extravagantly, "The king really plans to fight with the Qin State again. ”
Han Wangcang's attitude was firm, "If you don't retreat from the Qin people, you will never quit the army." ”
"Okay." After losing this battle, Gong Zhong was also unwilling, "Qin has bullied me for a long time." If you don't retreat from the Qin people, you won't quit the army. ”
The crowd shouted: "If you don't retreat from the Qin people, you won't stop the army." ”
Han Wangcang's insistence on starting a war with the Qin State was not a matter of rashness and courage. Yiyang is the hub of South Korea connecting Shangdang, Namyang and Sinzheng. Yiyang was occupied by the Qin people, and Korea was also divided into three, and its national power was bound to be greatly weakened. Qin Yiyang could attack Korea at will and annex Korean territory. South Korea will be reduced to a small country inferior to Song and Wei.
Yiyang is lost, and South Korea is difficult to survive.
Han Wangcang is willing to gamble on the fortunes of the country and fight against the water. At any cost, Yiyang must be recovered. Seeing that the ministers were in the same boat, Han Wangcang unanimously turned to Qin and raised his voice: "The widow swears again to start a war with the Qin State with all his strength." If you don't retreat from the Qin army, you won't lose ground. The widow would rather die than quit the army. ”
The destruction of Yiyang City also made Han Wangcang sober, and if he wanted to attack Qin, he couldn't do without Han Wei, "Gongshu Duan, Gongzhong extravagant." ”
Gongshu Duan and Gongzhong came out extravagantly, and said in unison: "The minister is here." ”
"You carry the widow's letter and go to Wei Zhao."
Gong Zhongxuan asked, "Will Wei and Zhao send troops to help us attack Qin?" ”
"The Han Zhao Alliance, one is prosperous, and one is lost. Zhao Guoding will definitely help the widow deal with the Qin people. Han Wangcang said calmly: "Qin has Yiyang, and the heir of the prince of Wei naturally understands the truth of cold lips and teeth. If Wei doesn't help Han, he is digging his own grave. Wei also needed Korea as a buffer against Qin's eastward advance. South Korea can't support it, and Wei is in danger. ”
In this battle, Han Wangcang and Qin Wangdang fought in a duel, and he lost. For the sake of the future of South Korea, he is willing to carry everything and gamble everything.
……
Zhao Junyong learned that Han Yiyang's city was broken, and he was also restless. Yiyang City is eight miles, 100,000 Han Caishi, Su Zhi for several years, plus 70,000 people from Chu, and rescued them from the mountain. Qin's attack on May was not defeated, most of the soldiers were lost, and morale was low. Zhao Jun also learned that the anti-war voice of Qin State was higher than one wave, and Qin Wangdang also had the intention of withdrawing his troops. However, on the 10th, the Qin State actually broke through Yiyang and beheaded 60,000 Han troops.
Zhao Junyong said to the ministers: "The Qin State has broken through Yiyang, and South Korea is in danger, and the widow cannot sit idly by. ”
Fei Yi asked: "Your Majesty, you plan to send troops to help Han attack Qin." ”
"Han and Zhao have always been one, one is prosperous, and the other is lost. South Korea is in trouble, how can the widow not save it. ”
Li Dui said: "Your Majesty, our salvation of Han is equivalent to a war with the Qin State." The alliance between Qin and Zhao also collapsed. For the sake of Korea, we have made enemies with the Qin State, and the war has risen again. Is it worth it? ”
There was also a lot of discussion in the palace, and they felt that it was not a wise move to make enemies with the Qin State for the sake of Korea.
Gongzhong saw Zhao Chen extravagantly and opposed the rescue of Han, he was worried that Zhao Jun would not be willing to disobey Zhao Chen's will and make an order not to save Han, and he was secretly shocked into a cold sweat. For the sake of Korea, he made enemies with the Qin State. For Zhao Guo, it does more harm than good. Gong Zhong stared at Zhao Jun extravagantly, quietly waiting for what kind of decree Zhao Jun would make. If Zhao Jun refused to save Han for the sake of Zhao Guo's interests, he could also understand. But if Zhao Jun doesn't help South Korea, South Korea will be in danger.
"Qin got Yiyang, and Korea was also divided into three. If Korea is weak, Qin will be strong. If the widow does not save South Korea, South Korea will not be able to support it. Zhao Junyong looked at the ministers in the hall, and then looked at Han Xiang, "The three Jinhes will exist." If you are divided into three Jin, you will die. Han, Zhao, and Wei did not unite, so they waited to be divided by the three kingdoms of Qi, Qin, and Chu. Today, saving Han is equivalent to saving Zhao. The widows don't want to wait for the Qin State to become strong and send troops to attack our country. ”
Tian Buli said: "What the king said is very true. Han Zhao Wei can only gain a foothold among the princes if he is united. Now Qin is a tiger and wolf. Today is an attack on South Korea, and tomorrow it will attack Wei and Zhao. South Korea is in trouble, and we will not save it. Qin attacked Zhao, and Han and Wei would not be saved. In order to protect himself, Han Zhaowei refused to save him, so he could not stop the eastward advance of Qin. The general trend of the world, only balance, can there be peace. We can't let Qin upset this balance. ”
Gongzi Chengdao: "Can Zhao win against Qin?" ”
Tian Buli said: "It's one thing to not win a fight. Whether to fight or not is another matter. Fighting, it is to show the princes that Han and Zhao are one. If you don't fight, you will show weakness to the princes and show weakness to the Qin State. When the Qin State sees that we are showing weakness, it will fuel its ambitions. The ambitions of the Qin State skyrocketed, and the Zhao State was in danger. ”
Li Dui said: "Businessmen value profits, so they naturally know how to make trade-offs. We offended the Qin State for the sake of Korea, and this is an uneconomical deal. ”
"If you care about the businessman in front of you, it will naturally be difficult to achieve great things." Tian Buli said: "We save Han, from the current point of view, it is indeed not cost-effective. In the long run, it will be good for our country. With Korea, we can contain the Qin and Qi states. Once the Central Plains changes, and we have a war with Qi and Qin, Zhao will have one more friend. ”
Gongzi became a Taoist: "Qi, Qin and Zhao are friends. How can they fight again? ”
"Qi, Qin and Zhao are friends, and this is the balance of the situation in the world. Qi has Zhao Xiang's help, Qi Qiang. Qin has Zhao Xiangzhu, Zhao Qiang. If both Qi and Qin wanted to attack Zhao, Zhao would not be a friend of the two countries, but an enemy of the two countries. Tian Buli sneered: "If the Qin State wants to compete for hegemony among the princes, it must go east and attack the Three Jins. The state of Qi wants to go west to fight for hegemony, and it also wants to attack the Three Jins. We supported Ji Zhi, revived the Yan State, and drove out the Qi State in the name of counterinsurgency and expulsion of Qi. The battle of Pushang and the loss of Yandi made the national strength of Qi decline greatly. In the past few years, Qi Wangtian has been hiding and not developing in order to accumulate national strength. Once, the state of Qi recovered its national strength. I don't know if the sword of Qi is against Wei, Han, or Zhao. Qin finished fighting Korea and tasted the sweetness. Qin Jian, the next country to fight is Wei or Zhao. In the world of great strife, there is no peace, only soldiers. ”
Gongzi Cheng asked: "You persuaded the monarch to help Han, did you accept the benefits of the Koreans?" For the sake of one's own selfishness, regardless of the interests of the country, what is the intention. ”
"Hahaha. Although Tian Buli is poor, he will not ask others for relief. Tian Buli laughed indulgently, "The Qin State is not only the enemy of Korea, but also the enemy of the Zhao State. Saving Han is equivalent to saving Zhao. ”
Zhao Junyong stopped everyone's quarrel and asked: "Han Xiang, South Korea has lost Yiyang, what is the attitude of King Han." ”
Han Xiang arched his hand and said: "If you don't repel the Qin people, don't recover the mountains and rivers, and never quit the army." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you hear? This is the determination of King Han. King Han is still like this, so why should the widow be afraid. ”
Gongzi Chengdao: "Saving Han is equivalent to starting a war with the Qin State, and the king thinks twice." ”
"The Qin State relied on its strong national strength to oppress the Three Jins. The widow cannot sit idly by. Zhao Yong asked: "Feiyi, should the widow save Han." ”
"Han and Zhao have always been friendly, in the same boat, and support each other. The Qin State attacked Korea, intending to peep into Zhou. If we stand still, we don't show our attitude. Qin's ambitions will swell further. Qin Wangdang will have the illusion that the princes of the world are weak. When we save Han, we are tantamount to showing our attitude to the Qin State... The affairs of the world are decided by the princes of the world, not the Qin State. Fei Yi said again: "Minister, support and help Han attack Qin." ”
"The words of fat righteousness are very much in line with the meaning of widows. The affairs of the world are decided by the princes of the world, not the Qin State. Zhao Yong said again: "Qin Deyiyang, Dingsanchuan, to the suburbs of the second week, according to Jiuding, according to the map, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes." Yiyang is also the gateway of the princes of the Central Plains, Qin has Yiyang, can coerce the north to attack Yan Zhao, the east to attack Wei Qi, and the south to attack Wanchu. The Qin State occupied Yiyang, and it was not only Korea that was afraid, but also the princes of the Central Plains. Yiyang is not only the central gateway of South Korea, but also the barrier of the Zhou room. The Qin State captured Yiyang, not only destroying Zhou, but also opening the door to the Central Plains in the east. The widow also believes in the princes of the world, and does not want to see this situation. ”
When everyone heard this, they nodded yes.
"Liquid. You go to the State of Qin and tell the King of Qin. If it is not returned to Yiyang, South Korea. The state of Qin was Han Zhao's enemy. Zhao and Han share the same hatred and hatred, and they are bound to compete with Qin. ”
"Whoa."
Zhao Junyong said: "Fu Ding, you sent an envoy to Wei and told the King of Wei that Zhao was willing to help Han attack Qin and invite him to help." ”
"Whoa."
Gongzhong saw that Zhao Jun had such insight and courage, and recalled the past when the Three Jin Dynasty gathered in Zhao Xindu eighteen years ago. He was even more convinced that Zhao Jun would be a blockbuster if he didn't make a sound. Zhao Jun will dominate the Central Plains and make a name for himself and the princes. Perhaps, Zhao Jun will really become the head of the Three Jin Dynasty as the rhino head said. Gong Zhong bowed extravagantly: "Minister, thank you Zhao Jun for helping Han Zhi'en." May the two countries of Han and Zhao always be brothers. ”
……
Qin Wangdang learned in Xianyang that Gan Mao broke Yiyang and Dingsanchuan, and cleared all the obstacles to the car passage Zhou Room for him, and his heart was overjoyed. As a result, he handed over important national affairs to the right minister to win the disease.
Seeing that he was really going to Zhou's room, Ying Jian asked Jiuding, and hurriedly said: "The king is the lord of the Qin country, how can he be in danger." In the battle of Yiyang, Korea lost. Han Wangcang is not willing to give up, and he is bound to counterattack the whole country. If Wei and Zhao send troops to help Han, they will send troops to attack us. How it should be good. ”
"If the three Jin are not satisfied, they will attack my Qin State. The widow personally led the Great Qin Ruishi to fight with it. The widow and the three Jin go to war, do the three Jin have the guts? King Qin's eyes were full of the domineering spirit of the king, "Dingsanchuan, the car through the Zhou room, and the Central Plains are the ambitions of the widow's life." If the widow can watch Jiuding, compete for hegemony in the Central Plains. Even if you die, you have no regrets. ”
Ying Ji understands that no matter how much he says, it will be difficult to persuade Qin Wangdang's intentions. Qin Wangdang's courage, strategy and courage are better than those of Qin Hui Wangsi. In terms of the use of force, it far surpasses the previous kings. Seeing that Qin Wangdang was full of confidence and determined to win, he had to promise to deal with the big and small things in Xianyang and wait for the king's return.
Before Qin Wangdang left Xianyang, he said to Ying Zhuang: "Among the many brothers, the widow has the best relationship with you. The widow will not let you go to the fiefdom of Yongcheng, take you as the chief, and stay in Xianyang. It's because your temperament is very much like a widow, and a widow also needs your help. Tomorrow, the widow will go to the Zhou Kingdom. Since the widow succeeded to the throne, there are still many people in the court, and the hearts of the people have not returned. Closely monitor the movements of the country on behalf of the widows. The widow allows you to act cheaply, first and then play. ”
"Please show me the king."
"My uncle is too powerful, and his attitude is flickering. The widow was afraid of him, and used him while suppressing him. But my uncle is loyal, and the sun and the moon can see it. What about you? Do not spy on him. so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Qin Wangdang said in a low voice: "The widow learned that the eighth son of the former king secretly contacted the courtiers, and there were signs of chaos in the Qin country. However, her eldest son is hostage in the Yan Kingdom, and the other two sons, who are young, live in the palace. If you find that Mi Bazi and Chu Quanchen have a heart of disobedience and endanger the society... Kill. ”
"Whoa." Ying Zhuang said again: "Do you want to monitor the minister of Wei." ”
"The mother of the widow is from Wei. The queen is also a native of Wei. The widow succeeded to the throne, expelled Zhang Yi, and drove away Wei Zhang and others, and the queen mother was already angry. Qin Wangdang shook his head and said, "The widow can't make the queen mother angry. In the past few years, the Wei ministers have kept to themselves under the knock of the widows, and will not harm the Qin State. ”
"The king's commands, the ministers take them to heart." Ying Zhuang bowed and said, "Brother Chen, wait for the king's return." ”
"Widow, go and see the country of Zhou, look at the world of Zhou." Qin Wang Dang said: "Take Zhou and stand on behalf of Qin, Qin also." The widow wants to win Jiuding and dominate the Central Plains. The widow wants to establish immortal feats and let the princes of the Central Plains come to Xianyang to worship. ”
