Chapter 70: Facing a Choice (Part II)

Qiao Hai smiled bitterly: "The king, how can the king still not understand now, we can't count on Zhao State, even if Xiping comes to attack us again, Zhao State will not send troops to help us, it is estimated that they have already transferred most of their troops to deal with Yi and Shun, and here we have to set aside a soldier and horse to guard against Zhao Kun and Xiping taking the opportunity to attack, in the face of such a situation, Xiping wants to fight Zhao Guo again, how can he fight us first." ”

King Liuwang nodded slightly, then sighed again, and said, "Could it be that Zhao Kingdom is just like this." ”

Qiao Hai pondered for a while and said: "The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the country is not destroyed, but it is inevitable to lose a large piece of land, and King Zhao's dream of being the overlord cannot be achieved." ”

King Liu tapped the geographical map with his fingers, and said after a long time: "In comparison, Yi and Zhao can be relied on." ”

Qiao Hai understood what the king meant, and said calmly: "King Zhao has a hegemony in his heart, once he gains power, we can only choose to belong, otherwise it will be intolerable, King Yi's heart is in the harem, He Junshi intends to be idyllic, and his foreign use of troops is only for self-preservation, and the minister can't see what ambitions the monarch and ministers of Yi Guo have." ”

The king lowered his eyes expressionlessly and looked at the geographical map again,

Qiao Hai waited for a while, and said in a low voice: "The minister wants to ask He Junshi if he is willing to give priority to the westward use of troops." ”

The westward use of troops is to fight on the side of Liuguo, once Yi and Liuguo border each other, they can support each other, Liuwang naturally understood his intentions, and shook his head categorically and said: "You must not move to attack the heart of Zhao Guo, if we don't go all out to rescue, it will be fine, such a treacherous thing must not be done." ”

Qiao Hai was ashamed, and said: "Yes, the minister only tried his best to persuade He Junshi to use troops on this side, and whether he wanted to decide whether he wanted or not was up to him." ”

King Liu's forehead rubbed tiredly, "In this way, ...... can't expect Zhao Guo to solve the danger of the Son of Heaven, what should we do if Xiping besieges the capital again, if we lose Zhao State, and then lose Qi Kingdom, we will really be isolated." ”

Qiao Hai's eyes flickered and said: "It depends on Kangguo, they are now swallowing heavy troops over there, if they really want to save the Son of Heaven, with the strength of the capital, their strength is enough, plus our increase in troops, Xiping will never dare to act recklessly." ”

"Kang Guo, the widow really can't see through what Kang Guo is going to do, the previous period of Xiping besieged the capital they just increased their troops and did not enter the army, although King Zhao said that Kang Guo came to save the Son of Heaven, but after all, he couldn't believe it, Zhao Guo really reached the point where he could influence Kang Guo."

Qiao Hai frowned and said: "The affairs of the Kang Guo court are not known, but it seems that the Mo military division is not good, otherwise Kang Guo will never use troops like this." ”

"What will happen to the Mo military division when he is in power, won't he save the capital?"

Qiao Hai narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "The dynasty is to be saved, but it will force Zhao Guo to send troops together, and it will not transfer so many troops, and it is the consistent proposition of the Mo army division to be ready to encroach on Zhao State at any time, and this is the best strategy for Kang Guo." ”

King Liu, sighed, and said: "Fortunately, he has lost his position, there is a He Ran there to toss the world is already chaotic enough, he wants to follow the wind and waves again, it is difficult to say what the world is going to be chaotic into, alas, send troops to aid Zhao Aiqing look at it, tomorrow the widow will summon to make good words to appease, explain our difficulties, send more food and grass materials, I will let Dazai arrange this matter, I hope that King Zhao will not be angry about it." ”

Qiao Hai bowed down to receive the order and said, "King Zhao doesn't dare to show it even if he is dissatisfied in his heart, how dare they break their faces with us at this time." ”

Liuwang said: "I suddenly heard that the widow is very tired, Aiqing and go back, and come back tomorrow to discuss the situation for the widow." ”

Qiao Hai Shili retired, in fact, he still has some important things to say in his heart, that is, the matter of the new deal, if you don't want a perfect countermeasure, this new deal will be swallowed up like a flood to stay in the country, in order to protect and improve yourself, the best way is to implement a similar decree in the country, first, the king is really tired, and it is not good to talk about such a major topic at this time; Second, he noticed that every time he mentioned the word "New Deal", the king had a look of disgust, and it seemed that it was not easy to get him to accept the New Deal.

In fact, Qiao Hai is also resistant to the new policy, and the more he understands, the greater the resistance, because it touches the interests of all officials, including himself, but he really can't think of other countermeasures except for imitating the new policy.

At this time, there is another person who is facing a choice, Shuo ** Master Mi Li,

Disheartened by Mo Ju's power, Mi Li will inevitably rekindle hope because of Mo Ju's loss of power, after all, he is a generation of famous military divisions who are famous all over the world, and Mi Li's self-willingness to sink in the previous period is only because he feels that it is difficult to make a difference, once he sees the opportunity, the loyalty of the fist and fist deeply rooted in his heart is full of vigor, and it is his lifelong wish to be able to strengthen the Shuo country,

Since he learned that Mo Ju was idle, although he was still indulging in singing, dancing and drinking on the surface, he secretly sent a wide range of works to all sides, waiting for God's gift with an excited and apprehensive temperament, he needed a good opportunity, a good opportunity to plunge Kang Guo into a quagmire, so that he could take advantage of the chaos to expand his territory.

When he heard that Xiping was invading the country of Qi and Kang Guo was sending troops to help, Mi Li's excited eyes lit up, and he couldn't stop praying to the sky, this is a rare opportunity, as long as Kang Guo and Xiping fight, then Shuo Guo will have a lot of opportunities.

Mi Li waited anxiously and eagerly, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't wait for the result he expected, his mood became more and more anxious day by day, making a choice that was difficult for everyone to think of, at this time, even Mi Li didn't know when he would be able to make this decision, but God knows, a few days later, when the news of Yi and Shun joining forces to attack Zhao came, Mi Li would make his choice, and wrote to the Empress Dowager Kang, asking for permission to send troops to protect the Son of Heaven,

This is a move that confuses everyone, Mi Li has his own plans, sending troops to the capital is first of all a righteous move, which can confuse the hearts of some people, and secondly, it can make those suspicious people in Kang Guo reduce their concerns, Shuo Guo sent out troops naturally don't have to worry about them taking the opportunity to make trouble, as for the ultimate goal of doing this is to go to the front line to take the initiative to make trouble, looking for an opportunity to provoke a war between the two sides, and after Xiping and Kang Guo fight, he will find an excuse to lead the troops out and wait to see how the situation changes, Once Kang Guo is gone, then he can calmly carry out the great plan that he has been planning in his heart for many years.

Although the war is chaotic together, it may not be a good fruit in the end for Shuoguo, but after all, it is an opportunity to rise, and now this kind of life is not what Mi Li wants, for the dream in his heart he is willing to let go, not hesitating to die, and not hesitating to gamble on the lives of thousands of people in Shuoguo,

This is the true commentary that He Ran's faint monarch is more harmful to the people than the Ming monarch, although Mi Li is only a powerful minister and not a king, but his ambition can also lead the people into the abyss of ten thousand tribulations.
