Chapter 51: Take the initiative to ask for help
"Your Majesty! Han and Qi had been fighting in the Chengqiu area before, and Chengqiu belonged to Dangjun, thinking about it, Li Mu must have concentrated his soldiers in Dangjun. Although Dong County is adjacent to Hanoi, the Zhao army has no intention of going south, and there should not be many defenders! What's more, no matter how many Han troops there are in Dongjun, since Qi and Zhao want to capture Daliang as their ultimate goal, they will always attack! Lian Po is a person who knows the soldiers, and he will definitely consider the move of Meng Fu to learn that Qi and Zhao He's troops passed through Luodong County, and at present, our Qin State still quickly sent 100,000 troops to support Qi County, promote peace with war, and discuss the matter of peace! In this way, when the combined forces of Qi and Zhao make a breakthrough in Dongjun, we will also follow the Korean army when they retreat and enter the Central Plains! Wei Ran said in a deep voice.
King Qin nodded, admitting that he had some gains and losses! Dongjun is thousands of miles away from Xianyang, no matter how worried he is about the war, he must first repel the Hun army before he can plot more! Even if the worst ending is that the combined forces of Qi and Zhao are wiped out in Dongjun, do you have to bow down to Korea and surrender to the king?! Absolutely not! Iron also needs to be hard! It's better to get rid of the threat of the Huns first, and then think about it in the long run! I think that at that time, there will be the latest news from Dongjun!
"What the Prime Minister said is very true! The widow has been taught! King Qin actually made a move.
Where did Wei Ran dare to accept it, he turned sideways and avoided it.
"Although the 300,000 troops of Qi and Zhao are now in Jingluodong County, the widow thinks that in order to let all countries in the world know the despicability of Korea and collude with the Xiongnu and Dongyue countries to invade our alliance, our Qin State also needs to send people and horses to Linzi, Handan, and Yingdu, on the one hand, to strengthen the intention of the Three Kingdoms to attack Korea, so that the Three Kingdoms know that if Korea is not destroyed, the countries will definitely not have a stable life, and on the other hand, it is also to ask for help. Let the three countries strengthen their attack on Korea and relieve the pressure on our Qin State, what do you think Aiqing? King Qin asked.
"The king is wise!" The ministers said in unison.
King Qin nodded with satisfaction, and re-talked about the matter of negotiating peace with the Xiongnu, "Ladies and gentlemen, although Korea is the mortal enemy of our Great Qin. But with Tongguan, Meridian Pass, and Anping Pass blocking it, South Korea can't help our Daqin for a while! If you want to unite Zhao, Qi, Chu and Han, and even destroy Han, you must first eliminate the threat of the Xiongnu, who is willing to go to the Xiongnu camp for the widow to negotiate peace? King Qin looked around at the ministers and said.
Although the strategy of promoting peace through war has been decided, someone must implement it. In terms of military operations, there was Lang Zhongling, who was familiar with military affairs, who was in charge, and King Qin was very relieved. But the emissary side of the candidate. King Qin was a little worried! First of all, the status of the envoy should not be too high, too high it seems that the Qin State values the Xiongnu too much, and behind the value is fear, which will make the Xiongnu arrogant; It can't be too low, too low will make the Xiongnu feel that the Qin State does not attach importance to themselves, and the sincerity of the Qin State to negotiate peace is not great.
Moreover, dealing with the Hu people in the north. The state of Qin had never had much experience. Although language is not an obstacle, after all, there are some Qin people who fled to the north in the Xiongnu army. But if these people who act as translators are bribed by Korea and deliberately create friction between the Qin State and the Xiongnu, it will not be good! Therefore, in the eyes of the Qin State, it is better for the envoy to be fluent in Xiongnu. Of course, if there is a person who has a clear grasp of the Huns. Those who can sow discord between the Huns and their ministers are even better!
The reason why it is better than perfect is because the envoy must not be humble or arrogant, not afraid of the coercion and temptation of the Huns, and not afraid of death. Otherwise, he was tortured by the Huns. After saying the truth of Qin, the discussion and peace will be absolutely stopped, and the Xiongnu will attack Qin more and more fiercely!
There are almost no people who can have so many conditions at the same time in the court of the Qin State, but the King of Qin also knows that the ministers under him have guests under him, and the King of Qin does not expect all the guests of the ministers to have such talents, as long as the ministers and the guests under the door combine to have these advantages!
King Qin's words made the entire hall quiet. There is no doubt that dealing with barbarians like the Xiongnu is the most dangerous! Because the Xiongnu did things completely according to their preferences, they sneered at the so-called "two armies fighting without cutting off" in the Central Plains countries. Just like some people in modern society, if you reason with him, he will play hooligan with you; You play hooligan with him, and he talks to you about the legal system; You talk to him about the legal system, and he talks to you about politics; You talk to him about politics, and he talks to you about national conditions; You tell him about the national situation, and he talks to you about integration; You talk to him about integration, and he talks to you about culture; You talk to him about culture, and he talks to you about Lao Tzu; You tell him about Lao Tzu, and he pretends to be a grandson with you! You pretend to be a grandson with him, and he reasoned with you. Maybe if you are not careful, you will be cut off by the Huns, and the head will be used by the Huns as a wine cup or even a night pot!
Prime Minister Wei Ran and Zong Zhengying glanced at each other, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes. The ministers in the main hall are not loyal to the King of Qin, it is not that they are not loyal to the Qin State, but the problem is that there are too few people who can have so many conditions at the same time! Although he doesn't have it, if he doesn't speak at this time, King Qin will definitely be furious next, feeling that the ministers are greedy for life and afraid of death!
Just when the ministers of the Qin State in the main hall were thinking about whether they had the ability to send the Xiongnu as an envoy to the peace council, Lü Buwei's mind was also rapidly turning. Lü Buwei first judged that this is a big risk, but behind the risk is a huge benefit!
Nowadays, Qin's state affairs are difficult, the Xiongnu are Qin's biggest enemy, if anyone is willing to envoy the Xiongnu to promote peace, he will definitely become the biggest hero, and it is easy to gain the trust of the King of Qin! Although he successfully supported the crown prince to ascend to the throne, the prince was young after all, and King Qin was in good health, so he didn't have more than ten or twenty years of time, and if he didn't have great merit, he could only succumb to the position of Keqing! After all, although it is a credit to send an envoy to Handan and promote Qi and Zhao to unite through Luodong County, it is not obvious! If Lü Buwei wants to increase his weight in the heart of the King of Qin and establish his prestige among the ministers, he must send an envoy to the Xiongnu, and he must succeed!
Is there a chance of success? If the mission is doomed to failure, it is not an adventure, but a death! On the contrary, if there is a possibility of success, then it is a risk! Lü Buwei quickly judged that he had the possibility of success, on the one hand, South Korea was the culprit who contributed to the Xiongnu's southward attack on Qin, his identity was special, and the king of Han also sent someone to tell him that the right bone of the Xiongnu was originally the prince of the Yiqu tribe (and the king of Yiqu who died in Lishan was a brother, not a father and son, this point is corrected, I haven't written it for too long, I remember it wrong), if you deal with the Xiongnu, you can contact Yiquhong, South Korea is kind to him, and he will provide some help! On the other hand, the huge pressure on the Xiongnu from the Qin State, don't look at the current scenery of the Xiongnu, they have suffering, and the loss of 40,000 troops is already a pain in the bones for the Xiongnu! If you make good use of it, you may not be able to complete the task of peacemaking! (To be continued......)
