Chapter Seventy-One: Cutting Qin or Cutting Qi

"Now our demand in Korea is very simple, all the land south of the Great Wall of your country!" Zhang Ping said lightly.

Zhang Ping's words were bland, but when Hou Sheng heard it, it was tantamount to a bolt from the blue! This is almost half of the land of Qi country! If Qi agrees, there will only be two counties left! Qi Guo would not agree to this condition no matter what.

"The prime minister doesn't have to reply in such a hurry, I believe that the prime minister will send the news that Xianyang was conquered by my Korean army of 300,000 back to Linzi, and the queen mother and the king of Qi will make the right choice!" Zhang Ping said with a smile on his face.

Hou Sheng only left, Zhang Ping looked at the direction of Hou Sheng's departure and shook his head imperceptibly, and entered the palace to ask to see King Han.

As the Yan State raised 200,000 troops to attack Qi, Xianyang was conquered by the Han army, and the shape of the world became more and more invented. King Han summoned Prime Minister Zhang Ping, Imperial Historian Fan Sui, Taiwei Storm Kite, Pawn Chen Xiao, Taichang Wang Fang, Taifu Huang Bo, Zhisu Neishi Liu Guang, Zongzheng Han Ze, Shaofu Chen Sui, Sikou Sima De and other three princes and nine secretaries to discuss the country.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Xianyang is both Ke, and the partial general Han Teng takes the first credit, presumably it will not be more than ten days, and the Hanzhong army should take Anping Pass, west of Xianyang, all of them are widowed! The State of Qin is no longer a problem! Now that the Yan State has sent 200,000 troops to attack Qi, and the Qi State is a new defeat, some people say that they should take Qi, and some people say that they should destroy Qin, I don't know what kind of strategy you Aiqing thinks is feasible? King Han said with a smile.

The state of Chu is now overwhelmed by the 100,000 army of Bashu, the state of Zhao is already frightened, Qi and Qin have lost the help of the state of Zhao, and South Korea can calmly mobilize a large army to Guanzhong or Linzi, all depending on the temporary will of the king of Han!

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the Qin State is no longer worried! The only patient in South Korea is Zhao Guoye! Now that Zhao has gathered a large army to retire to Handan, it is obvious that he intends to wait and see the situation. The State of Qi is the wings of the State of Zhao. If the Qi country is destroyed, our Korean army can attack Handan from the west, once the two countries fight, all the way out of the party, all the way out of Hanoi, all the way out of Nanyang. No matter how strong Zhao is, he can only fight and retreat! Therefore, the minister thinks that cutting Qi is the best policy! Xianyang has been conquered, the world is shocked, the king even needs to hoard a large army on the border, send people to Linzi to intimidate, and the country of Qi will cede the land and surrender! Prime Minister Zhang Ping took the lead in opening his mouth.

Fan Sui spoke out and put forward a different opinion, saying: "The minister's view is slightly different from that of the prime minister! Judging by the ministers. Guanzhong is a place of four stops, and the Qin State has become a hegemon for nearly a hundred years because of it! Today, the army of Qin is only 150,000, Qin is weak and Han is strong, why not send a large army to conquer Tongguan and destroy Qin's Sheji. Once the Qin State is destroyed, Zhaozhi Taiyuan will become an enclave. At that time, the king sent troops to take Taiyuan and Keyanmen, and he could attack Handan from the north and south! ”

When King Han heard this, he just laughed and said nothing. But he didn't express his position, so that the ministers couldn't figure out King Han's thoughts. I had to throw out my own opinions.

Taiwei Tyrant Kite said: "The minister is incompetent, the army is defeated in Hedong, and tens of thousands of troops are lost!" The minister petitioned to lead an army and attack Guanzhong, and he was ashamed of the snow! ”

The pawn Chen Xiao said leisurely: "Destroy the people and the people, and sacrifice the people." It was not done by Renjun. King Wu of Zhou was still divided into the monarchs and ministers of the Shang Dynasty, which was the way of benevolence and righteousness. The Qin State now has only tens of thousands of soldiers, and Qin has been defeated repeatedly over the years. I can only obey the orders of South Korea. Why didn't the king drive the Qin State to the east of Luoshui and make it compete with the Zhao State? As for the Qi State, although it was defeated, with the population of the Qi State, it would not take ten years to recover. Qi is now in internal and external difficulties, and it is the best time for South Korea to pass through Qi! The 200,000 troops of the Yan State invaded the territory, and the monarchs and ministers of the Qi State were bound to panic. The king only needs to order someone to take a few cities of Qi, and Qi will definitely be willing to give up a large area of land south of the Great Wall to retreat our Korean army! This is God's gift, and Buddha is sin! ”

King Han nodded secretly in his heart, after learning that Xianyang was conquered by the Han army, King Han guessed the follow-up actions of the Qin State! If King Qin dies in Xianyang, it would be great! It saves a lot of effort in Korea! South Korea can brazenly capture the cities of Qin one by one! If King Qin escaped, then he could only say a pity! According to the bloody nature of the Qin people, Korea must pay at least the same casualties in order to take the Qin State!

Whether it is better to destroy Qin or leave Qin Guo, from what point of view. In the long run, it is in the interests of South Korea to have a weak, obedient Qin state! After all, if South Korea doesn't digest it well, it will only be greedy and chew more! Moreover, the destruction of the Wei State was self-inflicted, and the princes did not complain! If Korea destroys the Qin State so lightly, all countries in the world will be terrified! Perhaps, a drama of the four countries will be staged again! This time, Qi Guo was still a little hesitant! Next time, maybe all countries will be scrambling! South Korea doesn't always have that much luck.

Of course, from the perspective of immediate interests, the destruction of Qin can undoubtedly intimidate the world! In the future, no matter who wants to find trouble in South Korea, they must carefully weigh whether they will end up in the fate of Wei and Qin.

In the end, King Han had a plan in his heart, that is, to leave the Qin State, provided that the Qin State showed enough sincerity to seek peace! If Qin would rather die than surrender and attack Xianyang more than once, then he would have no choice but to complete the Qin State.

Compared with the decreasing population of the Qin State, the King of Han still coveted the land of Nanyang and the land of Gulu of the Qi State more, which were densely populated places in the Central Plains! Although South Korea can be regarded as carrying the million-strong army of the four countries, its own casualties are also heavy. In Hedong, the South Korean army suffered more than 60,000 casualties. In Hanoi, more than 10,000 people died in the war. In East County, more than 40,000 lives were paid. In order to attack Yingdu, 30,000 horses were lost, and more than 60,000 were sacrificed in order to attack Guanzhong. All the casualty figures add up, and South Korea's casualties also exceed 200,000! Close to a quarter of South Korea's troops!

King Han believed that as long as he took the land south of the Great Wall of Qi and recuperated for five years, the strength of the Han army would be able to recover to the front of the station!

But King Han wanted to listen to the opinions of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries on the Qin and Qi Raids, and test the attitudes of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries towards various countries, so he concealed his inner views well.

Si Kou Sima De immediately questioned the opinion of the pawn Chen Zhen, and said: "The minister thinks that what the pawn said is biased. It is difficult to show that the benevolent and righteous are not the way of the king! The Qin State was the first to attack our Korea, if we only forgive the Qin State after conquering Xianyang, I am afraid that all countries in the world will look down on our Korea! The wolf ambition of the Qin State, with Bai Qi and Wang Jian as generals on the outside, and Ying Ze and LΓΌ Buwei on the inside, although he was defeated. Not to be underestimated. If the king wants to expel the Qin State and the Zhao State as enemies, the minister thinks that the Qin State should be ordered to send a proton to Luoyang! Those such as Bai Qi and Wang Jian should also enter South Korea. If these two can be used by my Korea, the king will use them. If the two are loyal to Qin, they should be killed. To prevent future troubles! ”

The smile on King Han's face was even stronger, and Sima De's statement was to the point. There are many reasons for the success of the Qin State in chasing the north and dominating the world, the geographical advantage is on the one hand, the monarch and the ministers are also on the one hand, and what cannot be ignored is the role played by Bai in it! The shadow of the famous tree, as long as Bai Qi is still in the Qin State, with his huge prestige in the army, even if the Qin State is defeated. It's not impossible to rise again! As for Wang Qian, this fierce man who destroyed the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Chu successively, King Han did not dare to underestimate him from the beginning, even if he has not yet reached the height of decades later! It's just that after a few assassinations, King Han can only let him rise in the Qin army!

If the Qin State sees that the big thing is not good and proposes to make peace, the prince must be hostage to Luoyang. The other is Bai Qi and Wang Qian, if they can't use it for themselves. also want to kill it, this is to take the soul of the Qin army and the courage of the Qin army!

No one objected, because whether it was to destroy Qin or not, Bai Qi and Wang Jian could no longer be used by the Qin State, this is the bottom line of South Korea! Just, to do that. The number of South Korea's troops in Guanzhong is a bit insufficient! After all, there has been no news of the fighting at Anping Pass and Tongguan Pass. Although the Korean monarch believed that Anpyeongguan would definitely not be able to hold out for long under the offensive of the South Korean army. But Tongguan is really precipitous! With Wang Qian's 30,000 troops rushing to help, it's really hard to say whether Zhijin Wu Weiyun can conquer Tongguan!

"Your Majesty! I thought. There are still 150,000 troops under the command of Wei Wei Li Mu and Lang Zhong Ling Meng, and with this 150,000 army, no matter whether the Qi State is willing to sue for peace or not, it is enough to unite the Yan Army to capture most of the land of the Qi State! There are still 70,000 troops in Runan, why didn't the king order this army to quickly enter Guanzhong through Nanyang, so as to put pressure on the Qin army! Zong Zheng Han Ze put forward a seemingly best of both worlds.

Today, South Korea still has 600,000 troops. Among them, 70,000 are under the city of Yingdu, 150,000 are in the Baima area, 70,000 are in Runan County, 30,000 are in Hanoi, 30,000 are in Shangdang, 50,000 are in Hedong, 90,000 are in Guanzhong, 40,000 are near Anping Pass, and 70,000 are in Tongguan.

On the other side of Yingshui in Runan, there was an army of 80,000 Chu that could not be defended. As long as the Runan army leaves quietly and does not let the Chu army discover the reality of Runan, the possibility of success is still very high. Of course, if the Chu army found that it was very empty from Runan to Luoyang, and Jingyang drove straight into Luoyang and attacked Luoyang, it would be the biggest disaster in Korea! Therefore, King Han almost did not hesitate, and immediately said: "Military affairs, don't take risks!" The 70,000-strong army in Runan is the last garrison south of Luoyang, and it cannot be moved! ”

"The king doesn't worry too much, with the support of Han Teng's army, Le Chengdang can quickly break through Anping Pass, and then pass through Longxi County! I thought that maybe the news of the victory was already on the way at this moment! According to the calculation of 20,000 troops guarding the cities west of Xianyang, Han Teng and Le Cheng's subordinates should be able to gather 110,000 troops, which is not advantageous compared to the 150,000 troops of Qin! But don't forget that the 70,000 army of General Jin Wuwei is still attacking Tongguan, and Wei Zhe's 50,000 army is holding back many Qin troops in Hedong! The army that the Qin State can really use to deal with Han Teng and Le Cheng is only 100,000! In terms of numbers, we even have a slight advantage! Even if the field battle can't be compared with Bai Qi, the defense of the city is still safe! Prime Minister Zhang Ping said.

Han Wang nodded slightly, he almost forgot about this stubble! Maybe I'm too worried about my prestige after all! The Qin State can now be said to be exhausted, and the more it is in a good situation, the more the King of Han is worried that the Qin State will not be reversed! In the final analysis, he is still too greedy, and he wants both a large piece of land in Qi and the land of Guanzhong. If it was Li Mu and Meng Fu who led the troops in Guanzhong at this time, King Han might have been much more relieved. The two of them are good at attacking and defending, complementing each other, and with the skills of the two people, they can still compete with Bai Qi!

"Your Majesty, the minister has a strategy, which can make the Qin State obediently give up Xianyang and drive Korea for me!" Liu Guang said.

Han Wang was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Will the plan be released?" ”

"Now, the news of the Qin State is closed, and Xianyang is lost, and the Qin State is in turmoil. With 150,000 troops, the Qin State will either keep Hedong or half of Guanzhong, but the best of both worlds is a fantasy! Why didn't the king send a lobbyist to Liyang, saying that the 200,000 troops of the Yan State had invaded Qi, and the Qi State had agreed to cede the land of Nanyang. The capital of Chu was besieged, and the king of Chu ceded the land of Huaisi and sent protons to ask for peace. Zhao Guo guarded Handan and did not dare to take half a step south. The king's 100,000 army was already preparing to go south to Nanyang and enter Guanzhong. The Qin State has lost strong reinforcements, and there are only two ways to choose, one is to fight with South Korea, the whole army will be annihilated, and the country will be destroyed. The two of them bowed down to South Korea, offered Bai Qi and Wang Qian, and the prince was hostage. The two countries are bounded by Jingshui and Weishui, with the north of Weishui, the east of Jingshui belonging to the Qin State, the south of Weishui, and the west of Jingshui belonging to the Qin State. In exchange, our country ceded Hedong to the Qin State and supported the Qin State to pass through Taiyuan! Liu Guang talked eloquently.

"Minister, please cure the crime of Su Neishi!" Prime Minister Zhang Ping immediately spoke.

King Han's eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently, and Zhang Ping said with a straight face: "The million-strong army of the four countries attacked my Korea, and my Korea suffered more than 200,000 casualties, so it has the shape it is now!" The Qin State is now in a dilemma, either abandoning Hedong and keeping the land of Guanzhong east of Jingshui and north of Weishui; Either abandon the land in Guanzhong and keep the land of Shangjun and Hedong. If it is according to the plan of governing the internal history of Su, I need to pay more than 400 miles of land, and the ministers think that the internal history of Zhisu does not know the hardships of the bloody battles of the soldiers, and the land is given to the Qin State in vain, which is suspected of being an enemy! ”

Liu Guang smiled bitterly and said, "Please tell Rongchen to distinguish!" ”

King Han nodded and motioned for Liu Guang to distinguish.

Liu Guangnai said: "The Qin State now has only 150,000 soldiers!" If the king uses Qin to confront Zhao and weaken the Zhao State, I am afraid that it will not take long for Qin to be destroyed by the Zhao State! I thought that Hedong experienced five months of fighting between Qin and South Korea, and there were many young and strong people who died in the war, and the people's livelihood can be described as withering! If it is not three or five years, there is no way to restore the vitality! It is worth exchanging hundreds of miles east of the river for the trust of the Qin State! Most of the Qin countries allow it, so that my South Korea can go through the Qi country wholeheartedly! Or coercion, or send troops, you can deal with it calmly! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Shaofu Chen Sui also said: "The Qin State is defending the territory, if you want to destroy Qin in a battle, my Korean loss should not be less than 200,000." At that time, our Korea will have the land of Qin and Wei, with a radius of 5,000 miles, but the number of troops will only be 400,000! Zhao, Yan, Qi, and Chu Ruotu, my Korean army will definitely be exhausted! It's better to figure it slowly! ”

Only then did King Han nod and agreed with the statements of Liu Guang and Chen Sui of Shaofu. I'm really too greedy! Isn't the reason why South Korea has become a public enemy of the world because he is too anxious to destroy Wei? Fortunately, this time South Korea saved the day! If the Qin State is destroyed in one fell swoop at this time, Korea is afraid that it will not have enough troops to defend the newly occupied Qin land and the Wei land where the people's will is somewhat unstable, and it is time to slow down the speed of expansion! I'm still young! There is time!

"If the Qin State doesn't allow it, what can it do?" King Han only asked one question.

"If the Qin State does not allow it, the king will gather a large army and drive the Qin army to the east of Luoshui!" Liu Guang said categorically.

"If the Qin State allows it, then the widow will pass through the Qi State, which is a good plan! What does the prime minister think? King Han stroked his palms and laughed.

Where can Zhang Ping oppose any more, he can only say: "The minister has ordered the Qi State to hand over the land south of the Great Wall in accordance with the king's instructions, and between the ministers, whether the Qin State allows peace or not, the Qi State will cede the land to ask for peace!" ”

"What does the Imperial Doctor think?" King Han looked at Fan Sui again.

Fan Sui said respectfully: "The king is wise! Instead of destroying Qin, it is better to make Qin and Zhao Dou lose both! When our country manages the land of Guanzhong into my South Korea's Guanzhong, it will be easy to destroy Qin! ”

King Han laughed when he heard this, and said to the storm kite: "In this way, you can only wronged the Taiwei, the Qin State will not allow it, and the Taiwei will be killed by the widow!" ”

"Obey the order!" Although the captain was unwilling, he could only agree. (Want to know more exciting developments in "Warring States Storm: The Rise of Korea"?)
