Chapter XVII: Zhao's Countermeasures

King Zhao was silent on the surface, not happy or sad: "The prime minister thinks that he should attack the Qi country or the Yan country?" ”

"It's like a swallow. Yan country, far away from the Central Plains, cut down, and there is no conflict with the countries of the world. Even if the nations wanted to come to the rescue, they would not be able to do so. If the king ordered General Zhao to attack Hexi urgently, Qi would save him, and Yan would definitely think that our Zhao State was angry and swore to take the land west of Hexi. At this time, Wang Shang led the army south in the secret investigation of Xinpingjun (Lian Po) and attacked Jicheng by surprise, and the Yan Kingdom must have surrendered in fear. Now that the country of Yan is gone, the country of Qi is not to worry! Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng said confidently.

"But it is a cold winter, and the Huns in the north of the clouds are knocking on the side and making the most trouble. At this time, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate to transfer Xinpingjun away! King Zhao said worriedly, but there was no objection to Fa Yan in his tone.

Yan Zhou took advantage of the situation and said: "The king will not give up, and the minister is willing to replace Xinping Jun to guard the clouds and guard against the Huns." ”

Pingyuan Jun also nodded again and again, and persuaded King Zhao: "Those who are worried about Yan Guo, Xinping Jun is also!" According to the minister's speculation, it will not take too long to cut down the swallow, and one month before and after is enough. General Yan knew the art of war in the battle formation, and under the pretense of Xin Pingjun, it was more than enough to defend Yunzhong for a month. The king doesn't have to worry about this! ”

Lin Xiangru shook his head secretly in his heart, it only takes a month to cut down Yan, but there is also this possibility. But this is probably the best prediction, and it is also wishful thinking. If there is a slight delay halfway, once Lian Po is unable to force Yan Guo to sign the alliance under the city, Zhao Guo will be in a dilemma. Zhao's army in northern Xinjiang is still light, the Xiongnu have become more and more rampant over the years, and Lian Po's guarding the border this time is a good thing for Zhao. It's just that Lian Po has been wronged!

Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao saw that Lin Xiangru didn't say a word, and thought that the other party was persuaded by his brother's remarks, so it was not good to continue to speak out. Where did he think that Lin Xiangru was reminiscing about Lian Po, who was thousands of miles away. It's just a moment of distraction. Just when Lin Xiangru wanted to speak, King Zhao made the final conclusion.

"The widow has made up his mind, so Zhao Qing attacked Hexi, attracting the attention of Yan and Zhao, and Xinping Jun led 80,000 troops to attack Jicheng! Hehe. The sword of Xinpingjun can't just be used to compete with the Huns. If it is not sheathed, Yan Guo is afraid that he will not remember the sword of the widow! ”

Lin Xiangru struggled in his heart for a moment, and finally swallowed the words of opposition. Perhaps, this is a good opportunity to get Lian Po back into use! If Lian Po is a meritorious service to Yan, he can return to the court justifiably and help himself. As for guarding against the Xiongnu in the north, Yan Zhou can also be competent.

In this way, the monarchs and ministers of Zhao Guo reached a unanimous conclusion "with their own ghosts". Once the huge war plane is in action. Handan became extremely busy. Countless truckloads of grain, grass, and baggage were transported to the north one after another, and all of them realized that since Yan and Qi dared to succeed in provoking the anger of Zhao, they must now be ready to meet Zhao's anger. Under the chariot, there is death and no life, and a big war is about to break out.

Qi country, Linzi.

Su Li explained the conditions of the alliance of the state of Chu to the monarchs and ministers of the state of Qi, of course. There is also a threat behind it. Doctor Diao Bo could only sigh, there are still virtuous ministers in the Chu State. saw through Qi Guo's tricks. However, this can also reflect from the side that Lu Zhonglian, as a lobbyist, is stronger than Su Li. Don't forget, Su Li's brother Su Dai is still an official in the Chu State, but Su Li still can't convince the King of Chu. Pity. Lu Zhonglian was only willing to be a hermit, and Qi Guo did not encounter a very difficult situation, he was absolutely unwilling to go out of the mountain.

However, at present, the Yan State has been co-opted by the Qi State, and the northern line is no longer safe. Even if Zhao wants to send troops to attack Hexi. According to the national strength of Yan and Qi, they can also hold on for a period of time. South Korea, on the other hand, will never sit idly by and watch Zhao State attack Qi and Yan all the time.

On the southern front, there was also a loosening of the state of Chu. Now, the question before Qi is whether to promise Chu or Wei. If the Wei State wants to send troops to repel the Chu army, then half of the Taojun Qi State will definitely have to cut love. If it is to unite the state of Chu to strike a counterattack against the state of Wei, then the state of Qi must recognize that the land occupied by the state of Chu at the moment will be the state of Chu in the future. What a dilemma!

Prime Minister Housheng didn't expect the Chu State to cut the land stupidly, but seeing that Mink Bo's strategy failed, he gloated and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that when he joins Wei to fight Chu, after all, the wealth of Huaisi is far from being comparable to half of Tao County. We only need to pay a small price to turn the situation around. Qi and Wei each sent 100,000 elite soldiers, and the state of Chu would inevitably not be able to hold the land of Huaisi. At that time, our Qi country and Wei country will be divided equally, the east of Shouchun will belong to us, and the west of Shouchun will belong to Wei, and we will all be happy! ”

King Qi nodded again and again after hearing this, without the hidden danger of Yan Kingdom, King Qi wanted to throw up his arms and do a big job. If it weren't for the queen who kept reminding herself that the state of Chu was vast and rich, and the state of Qi only relied on the strength of its own country to act brutally, the casualties would have been large, and the king of Qi would have sent troops south long ago.

Diao Bo ignored the sarcasm in Hou Sheng's words, and said lightly: "The army of Xiang Cheng, the Marquis of Anping of the State of Chu, is stationed in Tancheng, and the two countries of Qi and Wei are moving south, and the State of Wei will definitely be very grateful to our State of Qi." Because we blocked the main force of the Chu army. I'm afraid that when the time comes, all the west of Surabaya will belong to the Wei State! The Shouchun that the prime minister wants, and the three hundred miles of land to the east, are all in the pocket of the Wei State! ”

Hou Sheng was suddenly a little annoyed, and said angrily: "Wei Guo is fighting Chu, and the prime minister doesn't believe that Xiang Cheng will be indifferent." We can completely strike backward, wait for the Chu army to intercept the Wei army, and then we will go south! Or go directly south along Surabaya and take the talisman to leave the block. Otherwise, according to the opinion of the doctor, do you have to unite with the Chu State to attack Wei? I don't know what the doctor thinks, where is the Wei State easy to attack? ”

There was a sudden murmur in the hall. At first, it was Mink Bo who said in high spirits that he hoped to persuade the king of Chu to cede the land and ask for peace to resist Wei. However, he did not make it clear that he would take the initiative to attack Wei after Lianchu, and his original intention was more to prevent Wei from attacking Qi in anger. Hou Sheng's statement is obviously a bit far-fetched.

Mink Bo knew that now was not the time to argue about this issue, so he was naturally in no mood to entangle with Hou Sheng. What he is concerned about now is how to get the maximum benefit of Qi State, at the lowest cost. Chu could no longer strive for more concessions, and if Qi wanted to compensate for its losses, it could only take half of Wei's Tao County or directly attack Suiyang and Shanfu. But since the state of Chu can see through its own strategy, will it accept it when it is good, and let Qi and Wei fight each other?! In this case, the loss of the Qi State will be even greater. It seems that at a certain cost, uniting with Wei and driving Chu's forces south of Huaishui is the best strategy.

Thinking of this, Mink Bo ignored the radical general who won later, and said calmly: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

King Zhao was overjoyed and said, "Okay! That widow will join Wei Vachu! What do Zhong Aiqing think? ”

"The king is shengming!" The ministers each said with mixed feelings. (To be continued......)
