"Zhongshan Country?" After King Han heard Fan Sui's mention, he smiled.

The people of Zhongshan are fierce, and it was built by the Di people, and has always been regarded as a big trouble by the Central Plains countries. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhongshan was the first Xianyu tribal alliance, and once attacked Xing and conquered Weiguo, but the result was that Xing Jun fled and Wei Jun was killed. In the end, it was the forces of Duke Huan of Qi and Song, Cao, Xing, and Wei that thwarted Xianyu, and saved Xing and Wei from destruction.

In the mid-to-late Spring and Autumn period, the Jin Kingdom rose to prominence and became the main enemy of the Zhongshan Kingdom. For the Zhongshan Kingdom, a Xianyu tribal alliance, the Jin State did not have the strength to annex it in one fell swoop, but adopted the strategy of first eating the Xianyu subject states such as Drum, Fei, and Qiuyou, and finally eliminating Xianyu.

In the war that lasted for more than 50 years, Zhongshan was hit hard many times, and the Jin State was also defeated by Zhongshan many times, but in the end, Zhongshan failed and withdrew from the stage of history. During this time, the Jin State was consumed too much national strength by the Zhongshan State, so that it was unable to go south to compete with the Chu State! But the Zhongshan Kingdom did not perish, but hibernated.

Perhaps it was the favor of God, after the Zhongshan Kingdom hibernated for a few years, the three families were divided into Jin, and the Jin Kingdom perished. The Seven Heroes of the Warring States Fighting for Hegemony, Zhongshan Kingdom began its own road of rejuvenation after being suppressed for more than half a century.

Forty years later, the Zhongshan Kingdom moved out of the mountainous areas that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and moved to the plains to establish its capital. (The following chapters were revised before half a o'clock, and you can read them normally at two o'clock)

The road in Hanoi was impassable, and the road from Shangdang to Zhao was also held by the Zhao army, and Korea could only cross the river from other places in an attempt to Handan. This place can only be a land within a radius of 200 miles on the line of Pingyi and Boling. King Han expected that Zhao must have set up heavy troops in these six cities on the south bank of the river, and it was not easy for Korea to cross the river. Of course. South Korea can also ignore the Zhao army who can't come out of the city, and cross the river in a grand manner, but even the junior brother who is a beginner in the art of war knows how big a risk there is!

Moreover, even if South Korea conquered the land on the south bank of the Zhaoguo River, before reaching Handan. There are also two impassable lines of defense. One is the Huanshui defense line and the other is the Zhangshui defense line. Zhao Guo could use space in exchange for time, and sent large troops from Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Daijun back to Handan, and built a new defense line before the Korean army approached Handan.

Therefore, when King Han raised his concerns, Zhang Ping and Fan Sui were silent. If Yan has such a strong strength as South Korea, the army will go all the way south, and it will definitely be crushed all the way. The destruction of the Zhao State was only in a moment. It is very difficult to attack Handan from the south to the north, and it is not impossible for South Korea to do this, but it will require great sacrifice and a relatively long time.

After a long time, Fan Sui spoke: "The six cities south of the Luohe River, the minister thinks that he can send a boat division to assist from the side, and then order the armies of Dongjun and Taishan County to come out together. In this way, it attacked the south of the Zhao State River on three sides. When you can take it in a short time. To the east of Huanshui, there are only two cities, Dongwu City and Lingqiu, and it is not a problem to take them. The two rivers of Huanshui and Zhangshui, with only a dozen miles of land in between, even if the Zhao army had an army, the number was bound to be small. The real focus of Zhao's defense lies in the Zhangshui defense line! Can it quickly break through the Zhangshui defense line. Surround Handan before the arrival of Zhao's reinforcements is the key to the success or failure of the plan! ”

Zhang Ping nodded in approval, added, and said: "Handan is the capital of Zhao after all, and of course the success is gratifying." If nothing can be done, it can seize hundreds of miles of land east of Zhangshui, and it can also deter Zhao. ”

King Han laughed, how could Zhao Guo be so easy to get along with. Since Zhao dared to send half of the elite to attack Qin, he thought that he was fully prepared, and among them, there was a situation where the Han army attacked on a large scale. It's just that I don't know if Zhao Guoyou has thought that he can send an army of 300,000! Before, only 50,000 troops were divided to rescue Qi and Vietnam, and it is unknown whether they succeeded in confusing Zhao State! I am still too greedy, and it is not easy to occupy Handan all at once.

However, in the eyes of Zhang Ping and Fan Sui, King Han's loss of laughter was disappointment. The two stopped talking and began to think carefully about Zhao Guo's possible flaws. The road to march from Shangdang and Hanoi has been blocked by Zhao State, and crossing the river north from Pingyi and other places should be the only way. Unless Fan Sui thought of a possibility, but it didn't seem likely.

Seeing that Fan Sui wanted to speak several times and stopped, King Han recovered from Fang Cai's disappointment and took the initiative to ask: "Aiqing and Prime Minister are both widows' right-hand men, what do you think, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

Fan Sui took a deep breath and said, "The minister just thought of a plan, I don't know if it's feasible!" ”

"I want to hear about it!" King Han really couldn't think of any other strategy to plot against Handan, so he said curiously. Zhang Ping was also a little strange, if he wanted to attack Zhao, he had to cross the river, and he crossed three big rivers in succession. No matter how fast the speed of the Han army is, I am afraid that it will not be able to attack the city of Handan before Zhao Guo reacts.

"The minister's strategy lies in Qi and Yan." Fan Sui spoke.

"Could it be that Aiqing means to unite Qi and Yan to crusade against Zhao?" King Han's face was solemn.

As the saying goes, with three piles in one fence, Qi and Yan are adjacent to Zhao, especially Yan, and the border with Zhao is thousands of miles long. For the country next door, Yan Guo is both jealous and coveted. When Zhao Guo was strong, Yan Guo would not have a little dissent, and sat with his tail between his legs; When the Zhao State was weakened, the Yan State must be the first to fall into the ground. Historically, after the Battle of Changping, the Yan State entangled 600,000 troops to attack the Zhao State is proof of this!

If it gets the help of Qi and Yan, it will be much easier for South Korea to plan Handan! But in order to convince the two countries, a part of the benefits needs to be ceded! South Korea is not distressed by the big interests, but South Korea is afraid that the strength of the two countries will grow too fast because of this! If the interests are small, it will not play a role in winning over at all! Moreover, even if the interests are suitable, it is not possible to cause the phenomenon that Qi and Yan will not be able to contribute! Especially Yan Guo has just suffered from himself, and it is even more difficult to say whether he will not cooperate with him.

"Yes and no!" Fan Sui's answer made King Han even more confused!

"Now the soldiers of Qi are less than 200,000, the king of Qi has not yet taken power, the Empress Dowager of Qi is in power, and the ministers heard that the Empress Dowager Qi has always cherished the people's power, and most of them will not be willing to fight for the Zhao State! If you want Qi to attack Zhao, it is even more difficult! At most, the Qi State will only send an army of 30,000 or 50,000 to cheer for the drums! What the minister said about the need to rely on the Qi country is borrowing from the Qi country! The said dependence on Yan Guo is to form an alliance with Yan State, let Yan State attack Zhao, and distract Zhao State! Fan Sui explained.

"By the Qi Kingdom? What does the Imperial Doctor mean to cross the river from Lixia? The Henan land that besieged Zhao on all sides? Zhang Ping asked.

After crossing the river from the history of the Qi State, the Han army can directly take Boling, counting the soldiers and horses of Heshui, Dongjun, and Taishan County, isn't it just a siege from all sides?!

Fan Sui shook his head and said, "If the Yan Kingdom refuses to form an alliance, it can naturally only cross the river from Lixia. But if the Yan State agrees to form an alliance, the minister thinks that he can cross the river from the plains and take Dongwu City and Lingqiu. After conquering the two cities, they directly crossed Huanshui and Zhangshui. ”

Qi is now dependent on South Korea, and with the power of South Korea, Qi has absolutely no courage to refuse South Korea's excuse. As for whether there will be a possibility of a false way, Qi Guo also knows that if South Korea covets itself, Qi will not hide from it! Therefore, Fan Sui and Zhang Ping are very sure that Qi Guo will definitely agree. As for whether it will send 350,000 troops to assist the South Korean army, with the number of 300,000 South Korean troops, it is just the icing on the cake, and it is dispensable!

The plain is located in the east of the river, with the loss of Gaotang, the north of Jishui belongs to the Yan country, the plain can be said to be surrounded by water on one side, surrounded by the Yan country on three sides. As long as the Yan Kingdom is willing, it can annex the plains at any time. It's just that Yan and Zhao are forced to have an unreliable alliance, and Yan has no idea of fighting the plains. But if Yan obeyed Korea's Jianyì and reneged on the covenant, Pingyuan would become the best stepping stone for Korea. As long as Dongwu City and Lingqiu were taken, and there was a river barrier, the Zhao army in Pingyi, Boling and other places could only watch the Han army on the other side of the river disappear, and the strategy that Zhao hoped for in exchange for time in Henan would also fail. Because there will be a boat division to block the surface of the river, there will be another army to greet the army of Zhao Nan Henan!

"If you want to move the Yan Kingdom, what should you be?" King Han asked in a deep voice.

The transformation of friends and foes in this world may be just a thought. The exchanges of countries are weighed by interests, and the changes will be so fast! Although because of South Korea's interference, the 100,000 troops of Yan State were defeated on the south bank of Jishui, which made Yan Kingdom deeply hateful! But if South Korea throws out attractive conditions, Yan Guo may not be able to defect and stab Zhao as soon as this friendly country arrives!

Qi is too weak to help Korea too much! Yan still has an army of nearly 300,000 troops, and it is a combat force that cannot be ignored! Moreover, the good news is that these 100,000 Yan troops are on the north bank of Jishui, and as long as King Yan's edict is issued, it can become a help for South Korea!

"How is Zhongshan Country?" Fan Sui smiled sinisterly.

The Zhongshan State can be described as the unbeatable Xiaoqiang in the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was repeatedly destroyed and restored again and again, until it exhausted the last trace of character and was destroyed by the Zhao State. Moreover, the homeland of Zhongshan Kingdom borders Yan Kingdom, and Yan Kingdom has coveted this land for a long time!

After hearing this, King Han nodded again and again, after three years of development, the national army of Zhao should be around 300,000. King Zhao successively sent 150,000 troops to attack Qin, 30,000 troops to blockade Shangdang, plus 50,000 troops stationed in Yanmen and Yunzhong, and the army that Handan could mobilize definitely did not exceed 100,000!

If he were the king of Zhao, after gambling on half of the elites to attack Qin, he would definitely concentrate the remaining elites and be ready to support Taiyuan or prevent Korea from attacking the east and west, and crusade against himself. (To be continued......)
