"Shifting?" King Qin's expression became extremely uncertain after the Korean envoy Tang Ju expressed his intentions.

Just because he has suffered too much of South Korea's losses, in King Qin's subconscious, he must be very careful when dealing with South Korea, and if he is not careful, he will fall into the trap of South Korea. If you don't have face, it's a small matter, and if you suffer a loss, it's a big thing. Today's Qin State doesn't have much money.

Tang Ju smiled slightly, put on a harmless expression, and said: "This matter is also because of Zhao Guo, Zhao Guo intends to dedicate Taiyuan County to our South Korea, Taiyuan County is eight hundred miles from north to south, and three hundred miles from east to west, which is enough to become a hegemon!" Qin State Affairs Han Shigong, King Han intends to change places with the king, I don't know what the king wants? ”

King Qin became more and more careful, there was no pie in this world, if South Korea planned to exchange Qin's two or even three counties for Taiyuan, Qin would suffer a big loss. If Korea only wanted to claim three or five cities, then Qin would have taken a big advantage. The problem is that King Qin doesn't believe that Korea will trade at a loss. In addition, Zhao Guoken must have a plan to sacrifice such a large county as Taiyuan. It's just that South Korea is reluctant to tell the reason, so it can only speculate on its own.

"I don't know how to make an easy way?" King Qin asked tentatively.

"Taiyuan has fifteen counties and 80,000 households, and the Qin State can be compared with Taiyuan, which is nothing more than the two counties of Inner History and Hedong. Hedong is rich, the internal history is barren, and the king of Han is in distress, please exchange it with the internal history. Tang Ju said extremely dignified.

King Qin's face instantly became extremely ugly, and the land in Guanzhong was divided by Luoshui. If the current Neishi County is lost, then the Qin State will become a country outside the Guanzhong, and there is no hope of retaking Guanzhong at all. Guanzhong is the foundation of the Qin State, and the foundation has been broken.

On abundance. The internal history is indeed far inferior to Hedong, and in terms of population, the two are almost the same. But when it comes to the importance of the Qin State, Hedong is less than half of the Neishi County! However, South Korea is under the banner of righteousness, and if it has to exchange Hedong for Taiyuan, there is no justifiable reason. I'm afraid that I will embarrass South Korea, and then I will hate myself! As for the complete veto of the matter of land transfer, it is even more impossible. Because this matter is obvious, Zhao Guo wants to use Taiyuan County to provoke the relationship between South Korea and himself, South Korea has Taiyuan, and Qin State will become a turtle in the urn, let South Korea handle it!

"The matter is big, and the widow wants to discuss it with the ministers, and then reply to your envoy?" King Qin came up with an excuse.

"Naturally! It's just that King Han is sincere. Trying to dispel public opinion, I want to exchange the rich Taiyuan for the barren internal history, and I hope that the king will think about the pros and cons, and don't affect the harmony between Qin and Han, right? ! Tang Ju said with a smile.

"The widow knows! Widow knows! King Qin nodded busily.

The eunuch Ling personally arranged for Tang Ju to go to the post station to show that the King of Qin did not show respect for Korea, and Tang Ju's words directly made Liyang City busy, and the officials above the thousand stones rushed to the palace of King Qin. No one knows what happened so much that the temple people in the palace poured out. Each household informed the ministers of the city in order to save time.

Malicious people speculate. Perhaps South Korea couldn't hold back, and then used its sword and soldiers, becoming the target of the world, and the generals of the Qin State sent troops to Liangzhou to recover the lost territory; Well-meaning people speculate that perhaps South Korea's conscience has discovered. I want to be a princess and a kiss, so as to marry Qin and Han.

Even those who are as powerful as Prime Minister Ying Ze don't know what happened, because the temple person in charge of summoning only conveyed the request of King Qin, that is, to enter the palace as quickly as possible, and nothing else. The temple people also don't know anything.

After entering the palace to see the King of Qin, after making a big salute, the King of Qin finally explained the reason for summoning the ministers to meet - South Korea wants to exchange Taiyuan County for the history of Qin, whether to agree or not, this is a question.

Prime Minister Ying's first reaction when he heard the news was shock, Taiyuan County is 800 miles from north to south, and the longest from east to west is more than 300 miles, with 15 counties under its jurisdiction and 80,000 households.

The reason why it is said to be a land sacrifice rather than a land claim is because it has only been more than three months since the end of the alliance of soldiers, and if South Korea forces it by force, it will inevitably be despised by the world! Even if Zhao was afraid of Korea and did not want to cause more trouble, he would only cede three or five cities, not such an important county. How did South Korea do it by taking a county for no reason?

As for South Korea's request for Qin to exchange Neishi County for Taiyuan County, it was not so surprising. After Korea took possession of Taiyuan County, it had blocked the possibility of Qin's outward development. If Qin wants to expand its territory, it will definitely be an enemy of South Korea, and even if Qin is at peace with the status quo, South Korea will not be at ease with Qin. If we want to solve this contradiction, we must change places. In the original strategy of the Qin State, it was the best policy to go to Taiyuan from the northeast of the river to compete with the Zhao State and seek to seize Taiyuan County! South Korea is also aware of this strategy, and when the two countries negotiated peace, they tacitly approved the plan. Now, Taiyuan County has changed hands, and Qin's plan is stillborn. If you want to continue to maintain the relationship between the two countries, it is also an inevitable choice to unanimously treat Zhao and change places.

At present, the Qin State has only three counties, and the upper county has 50,000 households, connecting the east of the river to the east, and the internal history of the west. Under any circumstances, the Qin State would not agree to exchange the upper county for the Taiyuan county. Then the only remaining choices are Hedong and Neishi, no matter which one it is, it is a difficult choice! And South Korea has already made a choice for the Qin State, that is, internal history!

"Your Majesty! This is absolutely unacceptable! The internal history is the last place we settled in Guanzhong, if we lose the internal history, our Qin State will be in the Guanzhong no size land! If you want to plot against Guanzhong, the recovery of Xianyang and Yongcheng will be far away! Immediately, there was a minister who objected.

"Yes! Your Majesty! If we lose our internal history, our Great Qin will become a rootless Ping! South Korea will be informed about China! With the strength of South Korea, we will not want to set foot in Guanzhong for decades! A gray-haired old minister spat out his heart.

"The widow doesn't know what the internal history means to my Great Qin, but if we don't agree to Korea, our Great Qin will be surrounded by Korea! If we are enemies of Zhao, we can still win; With South Korea as an enemy, South Korea only needs to send troops to Liyang, what will our Great Qin use to resist? King Qin looked helpless.

The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone knew that South Korea was going to drive Daqin out of Guanzhong and run Guanzhong into South Korea's Guanzhong! If Qin State does not agree, it is indeed not good for South Korea to knock Qin State immediately, but once the skin is torn in the future, the close Liyang will become the target of everyone, and it is the way to die with the embarrassment of Qin's national strength and South Korea, which is several times more than himself! On the contrary, if the Qin State agreed, he might be able to endure the humiliation and retain a glimmer of life.

"If Korea really wants to change places, can it be changed to the land east of the river?" Someone spoke. Hedong was taken from South Korea, and now it is appropriate to return it to South Korea. Compared with the internal history, although Hedong is rich, it is not a pity to lose. Taiyuan County can completely make up for the importance of Hedong to the Qin State.

"The tone of the Korean envoy is observed, if you want to change places, you have to be in the internal history!" King Qin replied.

This makes it difficult for the ministers! South Korea belongs to the internal history, and it can no longer be changed, so the Qin State has only two choices, either agree or refuse.

Prime Minister Ying sighed and said, "Your Majesty, from the perspective of a minister, it is not impossible to change places!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the ministers in the hall looked sideways, staring at Prime Minister Yingze with suspicious or shocked or puzzled eyes, if this sentence came from the mouth of other ministers, everyone must think that he was bought by South Korea to make a fine work, even if it was not a fine work, it was probably a Qin courtier who was afraid of South Korea. But this sentence is from the highly respected prime minister, if you talk about loyalty, about prestige, there is no one who is out of the courtiers. The more this was the case, the more the ministers felt dumbfounded.

The King of Qin was not angry, but asked suspiciously: "Please teach the widow the prime minister!" ”

Ying explained: "Taiyuan County is the hometown of Zhao State, and its county governance Jinyang was once the capital of Zhao State. It is also bounded by river water and Fen water, which is convenient for irrigation and rich in products! However, in terms of wealth, Hedong is not as good as Taiyuan, and the internal history is not as good as Hedong. ”

"The wealth of Taiyuan is more than the internal history, but the prime minister can't agree to change places because of this, right?" The anxious minister thought to himself.

"Eight hundred miles in Guanzhong, although its land is fertile, but when it comes to grain production, most of it comes from Tianshui and Longxi counties! However, in terms of today's internal history, only a quarter of the grain produced each year is in Guanzhong, and in the event of a disaster, it may even be only one-fifth. Ho also, drought also! Jingshui is sandy, and if you want to use water, you can take it from Luoshui. According to the minister's rough estimate, Taiyuan can support 200,000 households, but the internal history is at most 100,000 households! Therefore, the minister thought that Taiyuan was far better than internal history! This is one of them! ”

"Second, with the current situation of the Qin State, if you want to expand your territory, you can either attack Han or Zhao, and there is no other way. With South Korea as the enemy, the South Korean army must go to the city of Liyang, and when the time comes, the army will inevitably return to Liyang, and the attack on South Korea is tantamount to asking for a dead end. Cutting Zhao, the main forces of Zhao are all in Handan, and our Qin State can raise the country's troops to suppress Zhao State. But now, Taiyuan is owned by South Korea, if you want to cut Zhao, you can only sneak into the clouds with mountain trails, the mountains are high and the roads are dangerous, and the national strength cannot be supported. If the road to war Zhao is cut off, it must be the enemy of South Korea, but it is even more undesirable! If it is a change of place, with the steepness of Taiyuan, the king is a strong soldier, forbearance for several years, when the situation changes, we will look at Yanmen and Yunzhong in the north of Daqin, and look at Yanguo in the east, which can become a trend that sweeps the world! ”

"Therefore, the minister thinks that the internal history is already a dead place, and it is difficult to defend it, which is not beneficial to my Great Qin. Taiyuan is a place of rebirth, and it can change the decline of the country's fortunes, if you get the land of Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Daijun Bingyan again, and go south to compete with South Korea, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, it is better than being controlled by South Korea. ”

"The minister also knows that Guanzhong is the foundation of my Great Qin, but with the national strength of my Qin State, it is not an overnight achievement to recover Guanzhong. South Korea only needs to use a county of soldiers to make Liyang three times a day, why not move the capital to Jinyang or Anyi, show that South Korea is weak, wait for South Korea to be weak, and then make a comeback and recover Guanzhong?
