The prince looked at the surprised doctors and calmed down. The surprise in the hall is exactly the effect I want, if you don't make a sound, it will be amazing.

Since the beginning of the application of the law, South Korea has emphasized the use of techniques. What is the healer? Supervise the law of your subordinates. In fact, it is the method of rectifying the rule of officials to keep the rule of officials clear.

Although the original intention was good, it was out of shape in the process of changing the law. Relying on various secret means to investigate the power of officials, it quickly expanded into a vicious trend that permeated the government and the opposition. Monarchs and ministers are deceitful, officialdom is intrigued, and colleagues spy on each other. Power is enshrined as a guideline, conspiracy is enshrined as talent, conspiracy is enshrined as wisdom, and self-preservation is enshrined as wisdom. Everyone is in danger, how can they have the heart to serve the country.

This also led to the loss of the moral foundation on which Korea depended on its foundation, and evolved from a state of loyalty, integrity, and righteousness to a state of power and calculation. From the monarch to the six doctors, everyone is preventing other people's calculations, and they are calculating others.

The monarchs and ministers did not think about how to enhance the national strength but were obsessed with the art of power and scheming, which also made Korea repeatedly defeated in the middle and late Warring States period, and the country's strength gradually declined.

So there was a series of "strange schemes" after that: selling Shangdang (referring to 262 BC, Bai Qi led the army to capture Yewang City in Korea, Shangdang was cut off from the mainland of Korea, and Korea sent Yangchengjun to Qin State to apologize, please cut off Shangdang to seek peace. The two county guards of Shangdang refused to join Zhao and caused the Battle of Changping), the water workers tired of Qin (referring to the fact that in 247 BC Korea sent water conservancy expert Zheng Guo to lobby for the construction of the Zheng State Canal, in an attempt to fatigue the Qin State and not to make the Han Dynasty, the result was 800 miles of Qinchuan rule, and the Qin State became richer and stronger), Fei Zhou retreated from Qin and other incredible and ironic things. In the same period, the Qin State was a great success, and the Qin State became rich and strong, and embarked on the road of hegemony.

Of course, many of the "schemes" were made after he ascended the throne. Now that I know the cause and effect of the incident, I will never allow this kind of thing to happen. The prince swore secretly.

Quickly sorted out his thoughts in his heart, and the prince said: "Father, all the ministers, please listen to Ran's words." ”

"Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, originally a place outside the country (referring to the rise of Qin because of the war on Xirong, but Qin is far away from the Central Plains, civilization is backward, so it is despised by the vassal states of the Central Plains, and Xirong is called it), and the people are fierce. King Ping of Zhou was awarded the title of prince because of his meritorious service in escorting the Zhou royal family to Luoyi in the east. ”

"When Qin Xiaogong was in power, relying on the dangers of Kunshan and Hangu Pass, he sat on the Qinchuan River for 800 miles. At that time, Shang Ying changed the law, the internal law system, cultivated and weaved, and repaired the tools of war; Fight the princes in the outside world. So the Qin people surrendered their hands to the West River. ”

"After the death of Xiaogong, King Huiwen of Qin, King Wu and the current King of Qin followed the previous policy of expansion, attacked Hanzhong in the south, and took Badi and Shu in the west. Asking for help from the Qin State is tantamount to driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, although it relieves the worry for a while, but it is like drinking a donkey to quench your thirst, and it is even more powerful. ”

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, according to what you said, you can't ask Qin for help, so why can't you make peace with Zhao and Wei?" Prime Minister Zhang Ping was also curious. Zhang Ping is still very pleased to be able to say such a truth. There is a successor in South Korea!

The crown prince looked at the prime minister, smiled, and said: "The ambition of the Qin State is known to all the ministers, and befriending Qin is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger. And now, the four nobles of the Qin State are autocratic, and the prestige of the King of Qin is not as good as before, and now the King of Qin is busy seizing power, and I am afraid that he has no intention of taking care of our request for help (in fact, in the end, the guest secretary of South Korea, Chen Zhen, personally said to the Prime Minister of the Qin State, Wei Ranchen, that the King of Qin agreed to send troops). ”

"Let's talk about Zhao and Wei, my South Korea and Zhao and Wei are from the same Jin Kingdom, and working together to resist Qin could have been invincible, but why did they lose repeatedly? Hearts are uneven too. Both Zhao and Wei regarded Han as weak and tried in vain to use us to consume the living forces of Qin; Why don't we use Zhao and Wei to protect ourselves? ”

The crown prince bluntly said about his disadvantages, and continued to the stunned Korean monarch and minister: "If we make peace with Zhao and Wei at this time, our Han will have no weight in the Three Jin Alliance, and if the defeated Zhao and Wei coalition forces are in alliance with it, we will not be afraid of the Qin State." ”

"Ministers will surely ask again, how can we defeat the coalition army with the strength of our Korean army? But I want to say that we have a chance to win! The prince was not shocked, and he was endless.

At this moment, the court suddenly exploded, and they started to talk about it. With weak Han to resist strong Zhao and strong Wei, where does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince get his confidence?

Regardless of the reaction of the ministers, the crown prince raised his tone and said loudly: "At this moment, the Zhao State and the Wei State will jointly attack our country. The main force of the coalition is the Wei army, and the Zhao State is just fishing in troubled waters, so there is nothing to worry about. Therefore, the great enemy of Korea is the Wei State. Wei appointed Li Kui to change the law from Wei Wenhou, took the Xihe region of Qin in the west, and destroyed Zhongshan in the north. The elite trained by Wu Qi was called "Martial Soldier", and he fought seventy-two, winning sixty-four, and the rest did not win or lose. Take the letter to Guguan and break the 500,000 army of Qin with 50,000 soldiers. At that time, the Wei State was rampant in the world. ”

However, in the two battles of Guiling and Maling, the Qi State defeated the invincible Wei State and became the overlord of the Central Plains. In terms of strength, the State of Qi was inferior to the State of Wei at that time. Dare to ask you, why was the State of Qi able to defeat the State of Wei and become the overlord of the Central Plains? The crown prince looked at the ministers and asked with interest.

"There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust. The Wei State was rampant and attacked everywhere. Pang Juan was arrogant and careless, and it was natural that he was defeated by Sun Bin. Prime Minister Zhang Ping looked like a matter of course and everyone knew it.

"What the prime minister said is extremely true." The crown prince didn't mind the prime minister's attitude.

"In the victory or defeat of a war, the balance of strength between the two sides is of course important. But other factors also play a decisive role, such as weather, terrain, morale, and the commander's ability to command. Sun Tzu also said: Soldiers, sophistry. ”

"The situation in South Korea today is very similar to the situation before the Battle of Maring. Wei Guoxing's division mobilized the crowd to crusade against us, and its main general Mang Mao has a small wisdom, but there is no great talent, and his mentality can be described as empty-eyed. The reason why Qi defeated Wei that year was that it took advantage of the arrogance and arrogance of Wei coach Pang Juan. ”

"If I attack it by surprise, Wei and Zhao will be in chaos, and this battle can be won. The danger of Huayang is solved, and the princes must treat Han squarely. Could it be that what Qi can do, we in South Korea can't do? The crown prince said loudly.

"And if there is no soldier to be saved, there is no city to be defended inside. Huayang City is small and widowed, and it will not be able to hold on for a long time. The ministers put themselves in their shoes, if you close the city gates and refuse to go to war, you will let the enemy army cross our great Korean territory, how can you bear it! The current plan is to send reinforcements as soon as possible to stick to the heart of the general. The words of this son are heartfelt, and I hope that my father will accept them. After speaking, the prince bent down deeply, don't take the opportunity to observe the reactions of the doctors.

King Han and the ministers didn't seem to have recovered from the remarks made by the crown prince just now. Some ministers, such as Prime Minister Zhang Pingzhi, frowned, thinking about what he had just said; Some ministers were full of surprise, and they couldn't imagine that the always quiet prince Ran would actually make nonsense and threaten to defeat the Zhao and Wei coalition forces; Only a small group of "militants" hidden within the ministers were eager to make a name for themselves.

The prince kept in mind the reflections of the ministers and doctors, and sighed in his heart that South Korea's treatment of art had been poisoned. The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all took Mingzhe as the way to live in the world, and the clan nobles were autocratic and excluded the virtuous. From the monarch to the commoners, they no longer have the courage to resist a strong enemy. Even Prime Minister Zhang Ping is old and steady, and he is unwilling to take risks.

"Zhong Aiqing, what did the prince say?" King Han was the first to reflect and asked out loud. Although King Han, who was a little moved by the long speech of the crown prince just now, and even sighed that "my son is already done", he still asked the ministers for their opinions.

"My lord, the minister agrees with the childe's point of view." Storm Kite spoke.

The remarks just now made the blood of the violent kite, who was a martial artist, boil. What soldier is not eager to make meritorious contributions, but he has won only a handful of battles over the years, and he is unconsciously a little afraid of war. Thinking of this, Storm Kite's face turned a little red.

Now, seeing that the country's top military general, the "general," has spoken, a small group of "warmongers" have become even more energetic.

"The minister seconded the proposal." Sima (note: in charge of military affairs) Han Wei was listed. I thought that I agreed with the prince's mention this time, no matter whether he won or lost, when the prince ascended the throne as king, his position would definitely be more consolidated. Even if you can't be the prime minister, it's okay to move the position, for example, Si Kou's position is good.

Keqing Chen Xiao was originally ill, but when he heard that Huayang was in danger, he went to court with illness. Chen Zhen is old and steady, and he is 6 out of 50 this year. Originally, he also supported Prime Minister Zhang Ping's strategy of asking Qin for help, after all, South Korea has been weak for a long time. Sending reinforcements to support Huayang is tantamount to feeding wolves with their bodies.

But now that the wind direction of the palace is changing too quickly, the crown prince has made a statement, and the momentum of the main battle faction has increased greatly. The generals Tyrant Kite, Sima Hanwei, and the two important ministers of the military were in favor of sending troops, and the monarch was bound to be more inclined to send reinforcements. Once the army is defeated, there will be a disaster for the country. It's too late to regret it.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao couldn't help but look at Prime Minister Zhang Ping, and Zhang Ping also looked at the old and serious Chen Xiao with a sharp heart. Zhang Ping nodded and motioned for Chen Xiao to speak.

"Dare to ask Childe, how many soldiers are available in Xinzheng now?" Chen Xiao asked.

"There are no more than 80,000 soldiers." The prince replied loudly.

"Kind of self-aware." Chen Xiao said secretly in his heart, and his face softened.

"With 80,000 troops against the 150,000 combined forces of Zhao and Wei, including 20,000 Zhao iron cavalry among the enemy army, the number is so disparity, does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince think that he is sure to win just because he is arrogant of an enemy general? In the Battle of Maling that year, the number of Qi troops was almost the same as the number of Wei troops. Soldiers, the country's major affairs. I don't know how the son dares to say that our army will win, the old minister is stupid, please ask the son to see the teaching. ”

As soon as Chen Xiao said this, King Han and the ministers also looked at the prince curiously. Although the crown prince also said just now that he would win if he was not prepared, after all, it was still too general and not enough to convince everyone. If Chen Xiao can be convinced, it is still very likely that King Han will agree to send troops.

"Indeed, as Keqing said, our army is only 80,000, and the enemy army is twice as large as mine. If we meet the enemy head-on, our army will definitely be defeated. However, the enemy army was running long distances, far from the mainland, and had to guard against the defenders of Huayang. There were only 110,000 or 20,000 soldiers in battle, and although the Zhao and Wei armies were allies, Mang Mao could not command the Zhao army although he was named the commander-in-chief. We are defending the homeland, the morale is high, and the supply is convenient, so that we are just one enemy and two enemies. What's more, I have a clever plan that can greatly weaken the strength of the Zhao and Wei coalition forces. It's just that it's not convenient to disclose it now. The crown prince's unfathomable appearance frightened many ministers.

Zhang Ping is still beating the drum in his heart, national affairs, only worship and Rong. This battle does not have to be normal, if the army is defeated and there are no reinforcements, the Korean community is in danger of being destroyed.

"The major affairs of the country are only worshiped and Rong, and the ministers dare not agree with the prince's mention. Now there are only 80,000 soldiers around Xinzheng who can fight, and if reinforcements are sent to save Huayang, at least 30,000 troops must be left to guard Xinzheng. With 50,000 soldiers to fight against Zhao and Wei, I am afraid that there is a danger of destruction, my king! Once defeated, the defenders of Huayang will be terrified. Things are going to get out of hand! ”

Listening to his prime minister's earnest words, King Han also hesitated for a while. Although the prince said conclusively that the army will win, everything is in case. Not to mention, South Korea's military strength is well known to all countries. In case of defeat, the consequences will be extremely severe!

Looking at King Han's hesitant expression, Prince Ran also knew that he had to strike while the iron was hot to persuade King Han to send troops.

"Father, what the prime minister said is very true. However, Erchen does not need many soldiers and horses this time, 40,000 is enough. In this way, even if the army is defeated, it will not have serious consequences for the defense of Xinzheng. However, Erchen is confident that he will defeat the combined forces of Zhao and Wei and raise the prestige of Han. The prince said in high spirits.

At this point, Zhang Ping can't say anything again. Otherwise, he and Liang Zi, the future monarch of South Korea, will be settled.

Seeing that all the ministers had no objections, King Han was overjoyed and announced that he would send troops to rescue Huayang on a certain day. Under the arguments of the crown prince, the king of Han announced that he would take the violent eagle as the commander and the prince as the deputy general, and lead an army of 40,000 to relieve the danger of Huayang.
