Zhang Ping, Fan Sui and others all knew King Han's intentions, so they didn't say a word after hearing this. However, Taiwei Storm Kite has just returned to Xinzheng, and he doesn't know King Han's intentions. But listening to the example of King Han citing Wei Wenhou and Wei Wuhou, it is obvious that he does not want Korea to make too many enemies. Although the country is big, the truth that the warlike will perish. In the eyes of the tyrannical kite, for South Korea, the most important thing is to run Bashu and Runan well, rather than making a big move to compete for a hundred miles of land!

Thinking of this, the violent kite immediately said loudly: "The minister is the king of Bashu and guards Bashu, and he feels a lot of emotion. The minister thinks that South Korea is suffering from a wide range of non-lands and not many non-people, but cares about governing the people. Take the land of eight counties in Korea, 700,000 households, can gather 600,000 elite soldiers, if the king attacks Wei in the east, Chu in the south, Zhao in the north, and Qin in the west, all are invincible! However, though the kingdom is great, the belligerent will perish. The three counties of Hanzhong, Ba and Shu are far away from the Central Plains, and if the king wants to use them to attack, he will not be able to travel through other countries. Now the Qin State has carefully climbed the mountains and mountains, separated the people, and rewarded the heads of the Han army with heavy profits. The people were frightened, and Bashu was uneasy. South Korea actually has only four or five hundred thousand troops available. The ministers heard that Cang Liao knew the etiquette, and knew the honor and disgrace when he had enough food and clothing. If the king strikes the army and does not compete with other countries for profit, within three or five years, Bashu can become the granary of Korea, and the people will not be able to die. Wouldn't it be better for the king to compete with the nations for supremacy in the Central Plains? ”

King Han's face did not change, he was not happy and carefree, and said: "What does Taiwei mean to ignore the dispute between Yan, Zhao, Qi, Wei, and Chu? ”

The tyrannical kite nodded without hesitation and said, "This is the opinion of the minister, and I dare not hide it from the king!" ”

"What do you mean? There is no right or wrong in today's opinion, and you can speak freely. The widow wants to work as one, so South Korea is like a command, and the princes dare not bully! King Han encouraged.

Taichang Wang Fang stood up and said, "Yan, Chu Vaqi." And Zhao and Wei want to save Qi, and the minister thinks that we in South Korea can stand still, but it may be better to move! ”

King Han was silent and listened to Wang Fang's next remarks. Wang Fang said eloquently: "Han, Wei, and Qi are one, and now Qi asks for help, and Zhao saves it but South Korea does not save it." The world will think that Han and Qi have a dislike and despise Han, this is also a disadvantage! Qi Guo is cold, afraid of being won over by Zhao State! These two disadvantages are also! However, if the king sends troops to rescue Qi, there is no need for too many soldiers and horses, 50,000 is enough, and the state of Chu will inevitably retreat. When the time comes, the whole country of Qi will be grateful, wouldn't it be better for the king to collect the heart of the country?! ”

Hearing this, Si Kou Sima De stood up, shook his head, and said, "The minister's opinion is different from that of Taichang. Yan, Chu Vazi. And if Zhao and Wei want to save Qi, if South Korea also saves Qi, it is nothing more than icing on the cake rather than charcoal in the snow. The State of Qi thinks that the Three Jin Dynasty are reunited and arrogant, and it is even more difficult for South Korea to collect the heart of the State of Qi. Now Zhao forced Yan to withdraw his troops for profit, and the ministers thought that this was a good opportunity. Zhao Guosuo's patient, Yan Guoye. It is better for the king to send troops to attack Zhao, and Zhao will not be able to support it. In this way, Yan and Qi fought each other, and Wei and Chu fought each other. Yan is pro-Han and far away from Zhao, this Korean blessing is also! ”

King Han shook his head secretly in his heart. Korea took the initiative to attack the Zhao State, and if one accidentally fought the war, it would lose control, and it would be the Qin State that would benefit at that time. The six countries of Shandong are fighting against each other, this is what the Qin State has always wanted to see.

Sure enough, the servant Huang Bo objected: "The Qin State is now recuperating, if a war breaks out between our Korea and the Zhao State." It's not Korea's luck! The minister thinks that attacking Qi is also unjust! Kill Zhao, it's not wise! It is better to attack Wei and contain Wei. So. The state of Chu can gather a large army to concentrate on destroying Qi, while the state of Qi is unable to go north, and the state of Yan will benefit from this! It not only avoided a direct conflict with the Zhao State, but also indirectly helped the Yan State, weakened the Qi State, and suppressed the Wei State. ”

The ministers immediately talked about it, attacking the Wei State? Wei is close at hand, South Korea has always pursued a pro-Wei strategy, Huang Bonai is a confidant of King Han, is his remark a hint from King Han? Is South Korea's strategy toward Wei about to change? Many people's minds began to open, but they were also cautious not to express their stance lightly.

Zongzheng Han Ze couldn't help frowning, and asked suspiciously: "Wei is only dozens of miles away from Xinzheng, and it is the eastern gateway of South Korea. The implication is that it is questioning the servant Huang Bo's unbelief and lack of foresight!

The servant Huang Bo was not annoyed when he heard this, and explained to Han Ze with a smile: "The truth of cold lips and teeth naturally (Huang) Bo understands!" If Wei is dedicated to South Korea and depends on each other, South Korea will naturally be safe. However, in today's Warring States world, today is horizontal, tomorrow is vertical, but it is just a change overnight. The Wei State was established according to the Hangu Pass, and the Hedong and Daliang were divided into two by our Korea, which was not a long-term solution for the Wei State. If Qin and Zhao send people to take turns lobbying Wei, Wei may be pro-Han today and Han tomorrow, but what about in the future? It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of the imminent war between Wei and Chu to send troops to force Wei to cede Hangu Pass once and for all! Or directly attack Hangu Pass and befriend the Chu State. ”

Lang Zhongling Meng Fu subconsciously glanced at Wei Wei Li Mu, and saw the answer that the time was not yet ripe from the other party's eyes. Wei is a big country in the Central Plains, and it is impossible for Zhao or Qi to watch Korea's Central Plains conquer the east and west. The reason why Korea's previous expansion did not arouse the jealousy of other countries was simply because Korea only clashed with Qin and did not violate the interests of other countries. The land acquired is also remote, too far away from the nations, and the nations are beyond their reach. But if South Korea really dares to attack Wei and surround Daliang, it is absolutely very likely that other countries will attack it en masse! What's more, Wei has a lot of soldiers and a lot of food, and it is so difficult to force Wei to comply!

"The minister thinks that although there are many benefits from attacking Wei, the timing is not yet optimal." The ministers looked over, but they found that it was the pawnster Chen Xiao who spoke, but the elder of the previous dynasty, and his words were full of weight.

Chen Xiao sighed and said: "The Central Plains is a place of four wars, easy to get, difficult to defend. Now Wei is adjacent to Qin, Zhao, Qi, Chu, and Han, and if Han defeats Wei, Wei will definitely be annoyed and angry, and Korea's ambition to dominate the world will also be exposed and become the target of public criticism. When it was, the minister thought that it was better to wait and see. Although Zhao asked Yan to send troops, Yan and Zhao did not engage in battle; Although Wei garrisoned Wei and Chu on the border, Wei and Chu did not fight each other. Coupled with a side of the Qin State that is eyeing the tiger, if South Korea moves first, it will let the Qin State just stand by and move, and then strike first! If South Korea does not move, Zhao and Wei will not dare to storm Yan and Chu, and Qi can take advantage of this to breathe, and the longer the stalemate lasts. The greater the loss of the five countries, the more South Korea will benefit in the end! I don't know what you think? ”

Li Mu nodded again and again and said, "The minister also sees this!" South Korea has been fighting for years and years, and it is not appropriate to use swords and soldiers. As long as Yan, Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Qi are at a stalemate with each other and the losses are not large, we in South Korea can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight in order to reap the benefits of the fishermen! Unless the balance between the two sides is broken. Otherwise, it is not advisable to interfere! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal! The five countries are contending, and South Korea is waiting to see what happens, which is the best policy! The timing of the war Chu and Wei is not ripe, it will only make all countries jealous and lose the name of Korean benevolence and righteousness! It is better to wait for the two sides to fight and lose, and then coordinate and reconcile, in this way, the princes will definitely pay more attention to Korea! Li Mu said softly.

King Han's face was happy, such a scene is common in the Spring and Autumn Period! The two sides were not convinced. In the end, the only way to do this is to ask a third party for mediation. If South Korea can really make the five countries back down and withdraw their troops, South Korea's prestige will be incomparable, and the benefits of an alliance leader's hat will be very great.

Imperial Doctor Fan Sui said with a smile: "Wei, Chu, a big country!" It is not an overnight effort. If the five countries are in a scuffle, the Qin State will not be willing to be lonely. The minister also thought that it was better for us in Korea to wait and see what happened, and the Qin State would not move, and we would mediate the dispute between the five countries and get famous! Qin Guo moved. We are looking for opportunities, either Wei or Chu. Or Zhao or Qi, profit! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Prime Minister Zhang said indifferently.

The ministers looked at each other, and the stormy waves stirred up in their hearts. It is rumored that South Korea is about to send troops, which seems to be groundless. King Han's henchmen Zhang Ping, Fan Sui, Storm Kite, Li Mu, and Meng Biao now have the same opinion, that is, wait and see what happens. You know, these are the only five feudal people in Korea now. Deeply favored by King Han, it can almost be concluded that King Han's tendency is actually to stand still and respond to all changes without change.

Those who oppose the immobility of the troops and those who support the dispatch of troops have already given their reasons. But he still couldn't convince King Han. If you continue to argue, it seems that there is no point. It's time to draw a final conclusion.

King Han cleared his throat and said slowly: "Widows often think about their ancestors, even if the country is strong, it must not be the enemy of the world, this is a truth that cannot be sustained. In order to take a hundred miles of land, it is not wise to fight with the Wei State! Korea is bordered by Zhao in the north, Qin in the west, Wei in the east, Chu in the south, and the land of the four wars. If Chu and Wei do not betray Han, then the widow will not be embarrassed by Chu and Wei. Korea's great enemies were Qin and Zhao, and Korea's allies were Chu and Wei. "Don't discuss it again, the widow has made up his mind, don't send troops, wait and see what happens!"

"The king is shengming!" The ministers said in unison. Even the ministers who are unwilling in their hearts understand that King Han has made up his mind, and it is useless to talk more! What he has to do now is to carry out King Han's will, not try to convince King Han!

Five days later, Yan Kingdom, Jicheng.

Lu Zhonglian said eloquently to King Yan: "What Zhao State is afraid of is that Yan State entered the Central Plains, and what it relies on is that Yan State is weaker than Zhao State. Now the king has taken all the land of 100 miles west of the river, and the Central Plains is close to Yan Guo, and Zhao Guo regards Yan Guo as a big trouble, and the king must not ignore it. If the land west of the river is handed over according to the instructions of the Zhao State, the face of the Yan State will be greatly lost, and the prestige of the king will fall into the deep valley. If he refuses to hand over the land west of the river, the Yan State will face the attack of the Zhao State and cannot defeat it, which is where the ministers are anxious about the king! ”

"What the gentleman said is true! Zhao Guo deceived people too much, what can the widow do? King Yan sighed.

What Doctor Zhong said became a prophecy, and Zhao Guo still wanted to grab this hundred miles of land with Yan Guo. However, before the war, the monarchs and ministers of the Yan State also discussed this matter, that is, to ask for help from Korea. Now the envoy sent to Xinzheng should be about to arrive, and it will take some time if he is ready. However, King Yan did not regret it. The more Zhao Guo opposed what Yan Guo did, the more Yan Wang had to do it. If Yan wants to rise and march into the Central Plains, the high-flying Zhao State is a hurdle that Yan must overcome.

Lu Zhonglian smiled slightly, and said disapprerovitically: "The minister has a plan, but he can solve the king's urgent need!" ”

"Sir, please! If it is effective, the high-ranking officials will be generous, and let the gentleman take it! King Yan said with great joy.

Lu Zhong shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "The reason why Zhao Guo dares to blackmail Yan Guo is because Yan Guo has no reliable allies. Wang Shang also knew that the Yan State only bordered Zhao and Qi, and among them, it was a feud with the Qi State. This led the Yan State to rely on the Zhao State. Zhao Guo liked it, and Yan Guo did not dare to fight. What Zhao Guo hated, Yan Guo did not dare to seek. For example, in the Central Plains, Zhao did not want Yan to go south, and as soon as Yan took the land west of the river, Zhao came to fight. Gai Mohu Zhao is afraid that the Yan State will be strong and will not be able to check and balance! If Yan Guo is obedient to his words, in the long run, the stronger Zhao Guo is, the weaker Yan Guo will be, and Cheng Guo will also be in crisis! ”

With a long sigh, Lu Zhonglian remembered: "(Yan) King Zhao built a golden platform and married talented people from all over the world. Up and down with one heart, operating for 28 years and raising troops to attack Qi, the king of Qi died, Linzi City was broken, and there were only two cities left in Qi State, and the ministers thought. The rebellion of the son, the humiliation of the swallow is gone! (Qi State cut Yan in the name of pacifying the internal strife of Yan Guozi and almost destroyed Yan State, and Qi and Yan were incompatible) Why didn't the king abandon his previous suspicions and make friends with Qi State, so Zhao State was bound to be jealous of the alliance of Yan and Qi, and did not dare to invade Yan and Qi. If Yan and Qi are not in harmony, they can only let Zhao Guo benefit, or join Qi to fight Yan. Or Lianyan and Qi, Zhao Guo got big profits and Yan and Qi got small profits, and the ministers thought it was unwise! ”

King Yan frowned, secretly thinking that Qi and Yan each almost wiped out each other, and if they think about it, there is really no reason to keep fighting to the death! Zhao Guo's arrogant request for Yan Guo to withdraw his troops this time really hurt King Yan's sensitive heart. simply withdrew with the Qi State. Unite the Qi State to resist Zhao. But King Yan also knows that the ministers' opposition should be not small. After all, Yan Guo finally rose up, and it was really a shame that he was beaten back to his original form by Tian Dan of Qi State. The other thing is to let Yan Guo be soft first, and the proud Yan people are afraid that they will not be able to lower their heads.

Lu Zhonglian naturally saw King Yan's hesitation, and said: "Now that Wei has hoarded a large army on the border of Chu and Wei, the ambition to attack Chu is becoming more and more obvious. With the containment of the Wei State. Qi is bound to be more comfortable! Wait for the Qi State to come out and unite with the Zhao State to attack Yan, and the Yan State is in danger! What is the king waiting for? Although the minister is not talented, he is confident that he can give up his prejudices and agree to form an alliance with the Yan Kingdom. ”

King Yan's face was overjoyed. Said: "What the gentleman said is true? ”

Lu Zhonglian nodded heavily and said, "The minister promises with the head of Xiang that as long as the king is willing to form an alliance with the Qi State, the minister will definitely be able to lobby the King of Qi to form an alliance with the Yan State!" However, there is one condition! ”

"Sir, please!" King Yan replied. In his heart, he secretly thought that as long as the other party did not make any excessive demands and saved Yan Guo's face, he could fully agree.

Lu Zhong made a gesture and said: "The king also knows that all the things this time were caused by the Yan Kingdom's attack on Qi, and now the Yan Kingdom still occupies the land west of the Qi Kingdom. If Qi and Yan form an alliance, this will be a big obstacle! ”

King Yan's face suddenly hesitated, and he said: "The widow lost his troops and lost his generals, and finally occupied a piece of land close to the Central Plains. ”

Lu Zhonglian nodded very considerately and said comfortingly: "This hundred miles of land west of the river can be reserved for the king. ”

"That's good! That's good! King Yan said in surprise. As long as this hundred miles of land can be kept, Yan Kingdom will not gain nothing! I have an explanation! But King Yan forgot that if Lu Zhonglian didn't have a deep meaning, how could he deliberately talk about this land within a radius of 100 miles!

Sure enough, Lu Zhonglian sighed in embarrassment and said: "However, although the minister can persuade the Qi State to give up and recapture this land west of the river, the king must also sacrifice the corresponding land to compensate the Qi State, otherwise, even if Su Qin and Zhang Yi are reincarnated, it will be difficult for Yan and Qi to form an alliance and save the Yan State from this difficulty!" ”

King Yan's heart suddenly became entangled. exchanging a hundred miles of land for a hundred miles of land, it seems that Yan Guo has not suffered a loss, but it has not made a profit either! If this Jianyi is rejected, it is obvious that the State of Qi and the State of Zhao will unite and send troops to attack the State of Yan. At that time, even if the Yan Kingdom barely kept the land west of the river, the casualties would probably exceed tens of thousands, and the grain and grass that would need to be consumed would be countless. Even if South Korea sent troops to attack Zhao and contained part of Zhao's troops, Yan's casualties would be not small.

If you accept this construction, the land you need to cede is assumed to be fifty miles wide from east to west, and the length should be along the river, the Pingshu line to the length of Yishui, but in this case, the border of Qi has crossed the Great Wall of Yan, and the Great Wall defense line of Yan is useless to Qi State. Of course, if the width of the ceded land from east to west is wider, the length from north to south can be less than the line of the Great Wall, but the consequence is that the land west of the river has almost become an enclave of the Yan State, and the Qi State will cut it off if it wants to. The connecting passage between the mainland of Yan and Hexi is only one or twenty miles wide.

Realizing this, King Yan had a hard time making a choice, so he could only say tentatively: "The land between the rivers is not more than a hundred miles wide, if it is ceded to the Qi country, the land west of the river is an enclave!" It's hard to keep! Any other ideas, sir? ”

Lu Zhonglian also shook his head in embarrassment, and King Yan's face suddenly showed disappointment, thinking that if this was really the case, he could only think in the long run, or at least win the support of the ministers before ceding the land.

At this time, Lu Zhonglian suddenly said: "There is a plan, but I don't know if the king is willing to cut his love?" ”

"Sir, please!" Yan Wang's tone was full of surprise.

"As long as the land west of Zhangshui is returned to the State of Yan, the place between Zhangshui and the river will be returned to the State of Qi, and at the same time, help the State of Qi recapture the plains and Luxian! In this way, there is still room for manoeuvre. ”

King Yan pondered for a moment and had a plan, the plain is lonely and hangs east of the river, which is an enclave of Zhao State, it is not difficult to take it, and there is no danger around Lu County, and there is a lot to be done in this matter. What Yan really cares about is the land west of Zhangshui, and it doesn't hurt to return the place between Zhangshui and the river to Qi State.

"Good! The widow listens to the gentleman's opinion! However, Qi and Yan must first meet the alliance, and the widow will help Qi to take back the plains and Luxian. (To be continued......)
