Chapter 42: Please Conquer (II)
"This is another thing, it is connected with sending back the generals of Fanbang, since we have shown favor to Fanbang, we can invite them to attack Shunguo together, it doesn't matter if they send troops or not, as long as they don't help Shunguo at that time. Several cities at the border of the king are still in the hands of the Shun people, they lead the enemy of the army to attack the king is engraved in the heart, Shun people are cunning and untrustworthy, once they collude closely with the Fan, then Zhao and Yi will have no peace, is to implore the king according to the previous covenant, as soon as possible to raise troops to recover the lost land and directly point to its royal city, I Yi will pour the country's troops along the rolling dragon river, axe broken gorge line to launch an offensive, so that it is difficult to take care of the end, Shun is destroyed, then the state is not enough to worry about, Zhao and Yi have no henchmen to worry about. ”
Zhao Min listened to the hateful case and said: "Shunren is really shameless, this revenge is not revenged, how can the widow face the princes of the world!" After speaking, he let out a long sigh, "The military advisor should know my determination to defeat Shun best, alas, the military advisor is a person who looks down on the world, and the situation of all parties is clear in his chest, of course, he knows the current situation of Zhao State, and now he is really powerless, if it is delayed for some time, even if Yi Guo does not send troops, I will set foot on the Shun country alone, and the military advisor should know that I am not a lie." ”
He Ran nodded and said: "What the king said comes from the heart, but the king, please think about it, all the princes of the world know that Zhao Guo is like a wounded tiger at this time, once he breathes, he can look at the Quartet, how can Shun Guo not understand this truth, they know that the king hates them to the bone, where dare to give Zhao Guo this respite, although we want to show favor to Fanbang, Shunguo is the only savior, in order to please Fanren can do whatever it takes, Fanren also knows that Zhao Guo is in distress at the moment, what they are best at is to take advantage of the fire to rob, In case it is moved by Shunguo's words, it will be ...... to raise troops to attack again, of course we will send troops to help Zhao Guo, but the foreign minister does not dare to guarantee that he can still win by luck like last time, the army is impermanent, and the foreign minister will never be sure of victory if he has the White House Bo secretly made a plan, and our two countries should not say defeat, it is a stalemate, and Kang, Qi, Xiping and other countries may be uneasy. Please think twice. ”
Zhao Min frowned, He Ran's words really moved him, especially when Shunren said that he would form an alliance with Fanbang at any cost, he couldn't help but start thinking about whether he was so sure that he would form an alliance with Fanbang, would Fanwang readily agree to form an alliance with Zhao Guo because of a younger sister? Besides, that sister is still in Yi Guo, it can also be deduced that it is not easy for Yi Guo to rely on a princess to form an alliance with Fanbang, in the face of the large amount of property sent by Shunguo, even if King Fan is unmoved, what about the leaders of the various departments, he has heard that the life of King Fan is not very easy now, and the lower departments have already complained a lot. Now it seems that his side is only concerned with guarding against Yiguo, but he looks down on Shunguo, who has already had an affair with Fanbang. At the same time, he also heard the threat implied in He Ran's words: if he doesn't send troops to attack Shun now, then it will be difficult to say if he Yi Guoken will not really help when Shun and Fan join forces. Although He Ran's words concealed this meaning deeply, he could still grasp it.
But according to what He Ran said, is it a good thing to destroy Shunguo? At that time, if the growing Yi State formed an alliance with the Fan State, I am afraid that the threat to the Zhao State side is even greater than now, and the most favorable situation for the Zhao State is to let the Yi and Shun countries start the war again, so that they can continue to consume each other's strength, at that time the Fan State is best to fall to the side of the Zhao State, if they can't pull the Fan State over, then try to let them not help each other, if they have to get involved, no matter which side they help Yi and Shun, then the Zhao State will help the other side, in short, at least to maintain the current situation of equal strength.
He Ran and White House Bo are not fuel-efficient lamps, in the current situation, it is not easy to make these two countries fight, now He Ran is trying his best to persuade himself to fight Shunguo, this is just a good opportunity, Zhao Guo can mobilize limited troops He Ran knows, then he has nothing to say when his side is weak in attack, the key is how to make him believe that Zhao Guo's side is ruthless to destroy Shun Guo at the beginning of the war, then Yi Guo can really fight, once Shun and Yi are inseparable, then their own side can use the excuse that the army is difficult to relax the offensive, connived at Shun Guo to transfer the troops that resisted Zhao to fight Yi State, if Shun Guo really did that, when the two of them were almost done, Zhao State could also take the opportunity to seize some land of Shun State. Of course, he also understood in his heart that He Ran's ultimate intention of instigating Zhao Guofa was not to give Zhao Guo a chance to breathe, but the strategy he proposed was more beneficial to Zhao Guo.
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Min couldn't sit still, and he had to discuss it with the military advisor and others immediately. Then he said: "What the military advisor said is good, I want to immediately convene the ministers to discuss, this is not something that can be decided at once, it is best for the military advisor to stay for a few more days." ”
He Ran immediately shook his head and said: "The foreign minister really can't delay, after the king and the subordinates have discussed properly, the secret to inform the foreign minister of the result, my Yi country soldiers are waiting day and night by the rolling dragon river, and I heard the king's order to immediately cross the river and fight, and there is one more thing that the king of my family ordered the foreign minister to tell the king, when the previous Fanbang invaded the king and sent an envoy into the Yi country, it was mentioned that in the future, they would join forces to destroy Shun, divide their land Zhao and take their three Yi countries to get seven, my king did not dare to enjoy this benefit, and said, each has to occupy its own land, and this time the foreign minister made this matter clear. ”
Zhao Min nodded and said: "King Yi is benevolent and widowed, although King Yi resigns, the widow must not be untrustworthy, even if he does not divide the land according to the previous **, Yi Guo should get more." He said with a smile: "This matter can be discussed later, I originally planned to accompany the military advisor to play today, but the sooner the matter of the military advisor is decided, the better, hmm...... The military advisor will follow me into the palace, all kinds of entertainment have been prepared, the military advisor will watch, and I will go to accompany him after explaining to the ministers. ”
"State affairs are important, the king doesn't have to worry about the ministers, the king comes here early in the morning to treat the ministers is enough to show the king's kindness, and the ministers just go out to play on their own."
Zhao Min no longer insisted, came to the gate of the mansion with him hand in hand, and instructed the courtiers: "Leave the widow's hub for the military division's trip." ”
He Ran hurriedly bowed down to thank him, and Zhao Min took another carriage and horse back to the palace.
