When Bai Qi heard this explanation, his first reaction was that the other party wanted to use it to delay time. If the other party is really sincere, it is good to surrender the city directly. Now he has to get King Zhao's approval, if King Zhao doesn't agree, then he won't be happy. As for Zhao Dan's family's rhetoric in Handan, it is easier to crack, he only needs to send someone to spread the news of Zhao Dan's death in battle, and this problem will be solved.

This is Bai Qi thinking about this problem from his own point of view, but Bai Qi forgot that if he stood in the other party's perspective and did not get the guarantee of the Qin State, if the King of Qin was not allowed to continue to attack Taiyuan County and make it difficult for the Zhao State, then Zhao Dan's move of "offering the city" would become a joke.

It was based on this consideration that Bai Qi frowned and said, "Mr. is too insincere, right?" ”

Yu Qing shook his head with a straight face, and said: "Today, Shaoliang's land deed and map are all here, I really don't understand, what kind of sincerity does the general want Zhao Guo to show, and the general can believe it." The Zhao State had hundreds of thousands of armored soldiers, which was only a lot more than that of the Qin State. The general can take the land of Shaoliang without spending a single soldier today, and he will benefit from the Qin State. This trip to Handan, thousands of miles away, the envoy to and from only one month. A month later, Zhao ceded Shaoliang, and Qin and Zhao were overjoyed. The two countries will always be married, Han and Wei dare not underestimate, the Qin army went south, drank the water of the Ma River (that is, the Yellow River), took the letter to Guguan, and passed through the Central Plains. In time, it may not be impossible to seize the land of Sanchuan and Nanyang and recover the hegemony. Could it be that the general really made up his mind, was aggressive, embarrassed Zhao Guo, and pushed Zhao Guo to Korea? ”

Bai Qi sighed softly and explained, "If King Zhao is willing to cede Shaoliang, King Qin will naturally continue to befriend Zhao State. But these are all wishful thinking on the part of the gentleman. It was easy for the general to strike the army, but if the king of Zhao was unwilling to cede the city, wouldn't the general have spent a month in vain? ”

Yu Qing also knows that Bai Qi is not stupid. Naturally, they will think that this is mostly their own delaying tactics, and it is impossible to want the other party to fully trust them. An illusory guarantee does not make Bai Qi willing to make this bet, and the weight of his own opening is even higher.

"The general crossed the river and led his troops to attack Hexi, winning many battles, and the troops were unstoppable. Zhao Guo retreated step by step, and now there is only Shaoliang City to defend. But. The general seems to have the absolute upper hand, but he must be careful that things will be opposed. Lao Ziyun, the disaster is greater than the light enemy, the light enemy lost a few treasures, so the resistance to the army is added, and the mourner wins. If the general is attacking the city now, the Shaoliang defenders are already willing to die, and the Qin army's casualties will be huge. For the general, for the Qin state. Why don't you try to capture the old and indulge in the plan, first weaken the will of the Zhao army to resist, and wait for the morale of the Zhao army to decline before attacking the city? If you think about it, it will take about a month. In a month's time, the weather is getting warmer, and it is easier to storm the city than it is now. Moreover, at that time, the news of Handan will also be delivered. The general may be able to take Shaoliang without blood. ”

Seeing Bai Qi's contemplative expression, Yu Qing added another fire. Said: "I have here a letter written by Zhao Dan, the commander of Hexi County of Zhao State, to King Zhao, which is conclusive, and the general may wish to read it." ”

Bai Qi nodded slightly, took the letter, read through it slightly, and showed a subtle smile. said: "The general was entrusted by Zhao Junshou to transfer this letter to King Zhao, but now he privately handed over the letter to the general, don't you feel disloyal to Zhao Dan?" ”

Yu Qing was not annoyed by Bai Qi's accusations. Instead, he smiled and said, "If I don't come to meet the general first, how can I calmly go to Handan from the encirclement of 100,000 troops?" If you can't deliver the letter, I'm afraid you will be even more unfaithful! What's more, although (Yu) Qing is a Zhao person, he has always believed that in the whole world, there is no one who can ally with Zhao State and achieve the greatest benefits for each other is Qin Guoye! Qin and Zhao alliance, the south can destroy Han and Chu, and the east can destroy Wei and Qi, if there is no suspicion, in this world, Qin and Zhao can be divided! If the general trusted (Yu) Qing, (Yu) Qing invited himself to Handan and persuaded King Zhao to cede the land west of the river to Qin. The two countries also invaded the Wei State in the south and encroached on the Central Plains, wouldn't it be better than the Three Jin Dynasty forming an alliance to fight against the Qin State? The general should know that today's South Korea is far more aggressive than the Qin State! ”

Bai Qi nodded, accepted Yu Qing's suggestion, and said, "Since Mr. said so, then I will believe Mr. for a while." However, within a month, if Ben Jiang had not received the promise of King Zhao to cede the land, the alliance between Qin and Zhao would have to give up! If Zhao wants to compete with our Qin State, and wants to settle the four kingdoms of Yan, Qi, Han, and Wei, the price it will cost is probably a lot! ”

Yu Qing nodded slightly, and swore a promise: "Since this is the case, (Yu) Qing will leave first, from today onwards, within a month, there will definitely be news from Handan!" After saying that, he made a statement and retired.

As soon as Yu Qing left the big tent, Wei Wei Wang Jian said a little anxiously: "General! These lobbyists can't be trusted! Moreover, before the expedition, the king repeatedly explained that he would attack Taiyuan with lightning speed, and if we did not move, the king would be furious when he learned of it! One month was enough time for Zhao to mobilize a large army to reinforce Shaoliang. ”

negotiated peace with Zhao Guo in private, such a crime is enough for the two to be dismissed and return to China. Wang Jian really didn't understand why Bai Qi made such a small mistake, listened to the other party's words, and let go of a messenger from Shaoliang in vain. Maybe once the other party returns to Handan, he will tell all the truth and fiction of the Qin army, and then lead an army of more than 100,000 to give him the "answer he wants"!

Bai Qi glanced at Wang Qian, smiled inexplicably, and explained: "Vice General Wang is not at ease!" Ben would naturally not be so stupid, waiting a month for an illusory promise. However, Vice Admiral Wang, didn't you find out? Although the morale of our army is high, it really needs to rest after many hard battles. The army of Zhao was also driven to a dead end by us! If the city is attacked now, the Zhao army is a mourning soldier, although the mourning army may not necessarily win, but if you want to defeat the mourning army, the casualties will inevitably be not small. This was not what Ben would have wanted. After taking Shaoliang, we still have to cross the river to face the Zhao army in Taiyuan, but the other party is waiting for work and strictly guarding it. When the time comes, we will take most of Taiyuan, and how many people will be left to defend?! ”

Wang Jian was stunned by this question, and suddenly realized: "What the general means is that now we are just pretending to accept it and paralyze Zhao Guo." After Zhao Jun relaxes, he will fight Shaoliang again? If that's the case, then Wang Jian understands.

Bai Qi shook his head mysteriously and said, "This is just a middle policy, and there is another good strategy here." It's just that the time is not yet ripe, and after a while, it should be able to be executed. ”

Sinjeong, South Korea.

Although the Qin State's action of assembling a large army this time was very secretive, once the army was opened, the huge movement caused could not be concealed. This is especially true when South Korea has deliberately strengthened its intelligence collection in Guanzhong. Wu Anjun Bai Qi, Wei Wei Wang Qian, Qin sent a big battle, hundreds of thousands of troops attacked from the north and south, all the way into Hexi, Zhao was beaten and lost his armor, only Shaoliang was left in the city, this news shocked the government and the opposition in South Korea! Everyone would have thought that the Qin State would take advantage of this chaotic situation; But no one thought that the target of Qin's attack would be his ally, Zhao State!

Received the news that the Qin State was attacking Hexi. King Han immediately convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures. The two mountains that pressed on the head of South Korea, Qin and Zhao, are now at odds, because Hexi fought a big fight, which made South Korea completely relieved. Any country that is targeted by two of the most powerful countries in the world will always have a hard time. South Korea is most worried that Qin and Zhao will work together to crusade against South Korea, although South Korea is confident that it can resist, but its vitality is bound to be greatly damaged, and once South Korea cannot maintain its absolute superiority over Wei, Qi and Chu. It is inevitable that someone will be provoked to take advantage of the fire to rob South Korea. Fortunately, Qin and Zhao never really set off a storm. Now it's falling apart, and there's no happiest place than South Korea right now.

Prime Minister Zhang Ping was the first to speak: "Your Majesty! Now Qin's invasion of Hexi is a great opportunity given to us by God for Korea. The minister thought that the king could quickly send an envoy to Handan to ease relations with Zhao and declare Korea's claims. If possible, it could lead to an alliance between South Korea and Cho. Confining Qin's power back to Guanzhong. ”

Taiwei Violent Kite said more directly, saying: "There are already five kingdoms in the Central Plains: Han, Wei, Zhao, Qi, and Chu, and the five countries are competing for power, and the forces have been staggered. If another Qin state is added, the form is even more complicated. Qin and Zhao compared. Whether it is compared to the national strength or the combat effectiveness of the army or the meritocracy of kings and generals, the Qin State must be one level higher, and the Qin State must have no selfish intentions for dominating the world. The minister thought that the forces of the Qin State must not be allowed to enter the Central Plains. Wang Shangdang sent a large army to support Zhao and attack Qin. In this way, Zhao Guo is grateful to our South Korea, and the Sanjin Alliance is reopened. The Three Kingdoms marched westward, and they could divide the land in Guanzhong. The state of Qin has been destroyed, and there is no country in the world that can be compared with our Korea. At that time, it will be South Korea that will instigate all countries to fight, and it will be us who will profit in the end! ”

Han, Zhao, and Wei formed an alliance to carve up the Qin State?! Many military ministers were thrilled by the bold idea of the kite. South Korea has always regarded Qin as its biggest competitor, on the one hand, the relationship between Qin and South Korea has become irreconcilable Cheng Dù, either you die or I die. On the other hand, the geographical location of the Qin State is too advantageous, even if there is a civil strife in the Qin State, it can lie dormant in the Guanzhong and wait for the rise. South Korea is different, it is located in the land of four wars, and its foreign policy must be tactful, otherwise the slightest carelessness will be a catastrophe.

In terms of discord with Qin, Korea is very similar to Chu. The difference is that the state of Chu is because it has suffered too many losses from the state of Qin, and it hates to give birth to the state of Qin, so as to eliminate the hatred of King Huai of Chu and the shame of razing the tomb; The Qin State has suffered too many big losses in Korea, and he can't wait to attack Xinzheng, burn down the Korean palace, and whip the bones of the previous kings of Korea! In this world, any country can unite, even countries like Yan and Qi that almost perished each other can stand together under strong foreign pressure or driven by interests. But South Korea must not compromise and coexist with Qin! Even if it's just temporary, even if it's just nominal!

King Han thought about the wonderful prospect of the three Jin Dynasty jointly attacking Guanzhong, and couldn't help but be fascinated. But as the saying goes, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny. Not to mention how the Three Kingdoms divide the interests, just according to the blood nature of the old Qin people, the Three Kingdoms will not pay nearly a million casualties, I am afraid it will be difficult to destroy Qin. And the Qin State can use the long supply line in the Eight Hundred Miles Pass to drag down the Three Jin Coalition Army before it is destroyed, how can the Yan State, the Qi State, and the Chu State sit back and watch the strength of the Three Jins, if the Qin State does not exist, the Three Kingdoms can turn around and attack them. When the lesson of death endangers one's own vital interests, everyone will remember it.

Therefore, except for the support of some fanatical people, most Korean ministers vetoed this unrealistic suggestion. As for Prime Minister Zhang Ping's mention of yì, although it is somewhat decent, there are more people who support it. At the moment, for South Korea, there is no need to carry the Qin State to the death, but only to knock the Qin State from time to time. Let Qin Guo realize that they can only stay in Guanzhong honestly.

The imperial historian Fan Sui said in more detail, he believed that with the Qin State's dormancy and sudden attack over the years, the loss of Shaoliang could be expected in advance. Next, what will affect South Korea's position and attitude is Qin's next move. If the Qin State is in moderation. No longer crossing the river to attack Zhao, how should South Korea deal with itself. If the Qin State insists on going its own way and invades Taiyuan County, how should Korea deal with itself.

In Fan Sui's view, if the Qin State was wise, it should have stopped and relied on the river defense line to prevent the Zhao army from east of the river. In this case, Zhao Guo was even annoyed and angry. Mobilizing a large army to seize the land west of the river is mostly useless, but it will lose the soldiers and the sharpness. What's more, Zhao is currently at war with Yan and Qi, and it may not be possible to draw enough troops in a short period of time. Therefore, it is very likely that Zhao symbolically rebukes Zhao and acquiesces in the fact that Qin occupies Hexi. Of course, this is a loss of face. This is where South Korea can take advantage. South Korea can take the opportunity to win over Zhao and help Zhao regain the land west of the river. Of course, in order to balance and prevent Zhao from expanding its strength, it is understandable for Zhao to cede several cities. In the middle of this, South Korea sowed discord and raised King Zhao high. Zhao Guo's entry is likely to be very high.

There is also a situation that the Qin State did not know whether to live or die, and for the reason of being unforgiving, it extended its power into Taiyuan County, intending to restore the land that had been invaded by the Zhao State six years ago. Then South Korea has a lot to offer. No matter how much the Zhao State endured, it was impossible to sit back and watch the land of the two counties being seized by the Qin State before his eyes. This means that the Zhao State will be defeated back to its original form, and the popular support and morale that have been accumulated with great difficulty will be completely lost, and a major war will be inevitable.

South Korea can use this to make Qin and Zhao weaken each other. But there are two prerequisites for achieving this goal, one is that the rear of Qin and Zhao must be stable, for Qin, the rear stability means that South Korea cannot put pressure on Qin, and for Zhao, the stability of the rear means that Yan, Qi, and Wei do not cause chaos to themselves. Another premise is that South Korea, as a potential competitor between the two countries, must not grow in power during this period, at least on the surface.

It sounds complicated, but it's actually a one-sentence thing. If you want Qin and Zhao to fight, on the one hand, other countries can't cause chaos to Qin and Zhao, and on the other hand, they can't take advantage of it, at least on the surface, no country will take advantage of it!

Obviously, this is almost an impossible goal. The most critical point is that South Korea has always been good at fishing in troubled waters, and South Korea is the one that Qin and Zhao are most wary of. With South Korea in the first place, the possibility of a big fight between the two countries is very slim. South Korea's existence is enough to dispel the idea of the two countries defeating each other in a war. But Fan Sui put forward his own ideas.

With the intervention of the Qin State, the already chaotic situation in the world became even more chaotic. If you want to analyze a series of changes in the current situation of Qin Guofa Zhao Daozhì, you must analyze them one by one from the standpoint of the Seven Kingdoms of the World. Otherwise, if you are completely self-centered, you will not be able to draw any correct conclusions.

The first is the remote Yan State, which has just formed an alliance with the Qi State, and the cause of the alliance is the strength of the Zhao State. Now that the State of Zhao has been invaded by the State of Qin, it must be that the State of Yan, like South Korea, is celebrated. But with Lian Po guarding the clouds, Yan Guo was afraid that he didn't want to annoy Zhao Guo at such a delicate moment, so most of them didn't dare to make any small moves. In other words, Yan Guo is just a spectator, as long as Zhao Guo does not harm his own interests, Yan Guo is still used to living his duty. As for turning the other cheek with Qi Guo, it is unlikely that it will be in a short period of time.

The second is the State of Qi, although the State of Qi got Anyang, but because of the invasion of the Yan State and the fear of the Zhao State, this time it lost a hundred miles of land in vain, and only in exchange for peace. According to King Qi's stinginess, this loss has to be made up for anyway. There are only two directions to make up for it, one is the stormy Zhao State, and the other is the Chu State in the waning mountains. Among them, Chu is the best. However, I heard that the new prime minister of Qi was not very clean, and this became a place where other countries could take advantage of it. Presumably, Qin and Zhao will not give up the bargaining chip of winning over Qi State.

Then there is the Wei State, and the attitude of the Wei State is the most subtle in Fan Sui's opinion. Fan Sui knew about Wei Ran, the prime minister of Qin, who sent Daliang to Daliang, and this time it was Fan Sui who told the ministers after getting the permission of King Han, and not long after Wei Ran's visit to Wei, there was a matter of Qin letting go of Hedong and attacking Hexi. Although from the position of Qin, there are several reasons to do so, for example, Zhao State's energy is all focused on the east of the (Taihang) Mountain, and the main force is crusading against Yan, so he is not very wary of Qin's ally; For example, Hedong could not be attacked for a long time, but when he attacked Hexi, there were soldiers and horses from the upper county of Qin State who could respond. But it is undeniable that Qin's attitude towards Wei has changed. Otherwise, the Qin State would face two rivals, Zhao and Wei, which was by no means something that the Qin monarchs and ministers of Xianyang were happy to see. Although Wei has never shown disrespect for Korea, it has already become estranged. Now that Wei is concentrating on the conquest of Chu, it seems that Wei wants to develop southward, and from this point of view, Wei is probably going to remain neutral in this dispute between Qin and Zhao.

Finally, there is the state of Chu, and the state of Zhao is too busy to take care of itself, and I am afraid that there will be no soldiers and horses to support the state of Chu. Su Dai will eventually return disappointed from Handan. In this case, the state of Chu will have to deal with the state of Wei, which is bent on going south, or it will also have to add a state of Qi, and its situation will not be under the state of Zhao.

What South Korea needs to do is to fish in troubled waters and earn a few benefits in this chaotic situation! (To be continued......)
