After the meeting, the monarchs of Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan said goodbye to each other and prepared to go back to rest for a while to attend the dinner. After Han Wangran returned to the embassy, he hurriedly summoned Fan Sui, the newly promoted imperial historian, as soon as possible, and the two of them discussed the attitudes of various countries in the secret meeting.

"Your Majesty, in this way, Zhao Guo deliberately wants us to consume Qin in Korea and Wei." After listening to King Han's words, Fan Sui said with a determined face.

"yes!" King Han sighed.

However, the widow estimated that this was only the first step of Zhao Guo. After all, King Zhao just asked us to harass the Qin State and delay the recovery speed of the Qin State, but the specific step to achieve, King Zhao did not say clearly. Unless Zhao Guo is sure that we must fight to the death with Qin State, King Zhao should not mention this idea. ”

Fan Sui nodded and said, "The minister thinks so too. But at the moment, this is all our speculation, Zhao Guo's behavior this time is quite abnormal, and the king should be careful to deal with it. ”

"The widow understands." King Han said solemnly.

Fan Sui said: "Since the State of Zhao has the intention to force us to consume the State of Qin with the State of Wei, presumably the State of Wei is the object that can be wooed." The king might as well communicate with the king of Wei more, after all, our two countries are the real enemies in the eyes of the Qin state. ”

"There is also the attitude of Yan Guo, the hatred between Yan and Qi is too deep, presumably Yan and Qi will have a battle in the near future. At that time, it was a good time to carve up the Qi country. The minister heard that Yan and Zhao had been married, and the princess of Zhao would marry Jicheng soon, and the relationship between Yan and Zhao would definitely deepen. Qi Guo is afraid that it will be difficult to escape. ”

King Han nodded, at the moment, the Qi State still has the value of use, I am afraid that when the Qin State is destroyed, the Qi State will be difficult to protect itself. Unless Qi can make Zhao change its existing strategic plan, it will really be a catastrophe.

"The king asked Yan Guo for marriage. Did Yan Guo have a reply? Thinking of the complicated relationship between countries, Fan Sui asked with a frown.

"Not yet, but King Yan said that he would give me an answer in a few days. After all, the princess is his only relative, and he also wants to hear the opinion of the princess of Yan Kingdom. Why, does Mr. think it is good or bad for us to successfully marry Yan Guo? King Han seemed to understand something.

"Naturally, it is a good marriage. The king must know that it is actually for us in Korea. It is best to marry Zhao Guo, after all, Zhao Guo is the strongest. If you marry Zhao Guo, you can keep peace in Korea for ten years. In these ten years, the king can do a lot of things. However, since Yan and Zhao have been married, it is also excellent that we can marry Yan Guo, and having this relationship with Yan Guo is equivalent to a close relationship with Zhao State. Your Majesty, you said that if we could really destroy the Qin and Qi kingdoms together. Who will Zhao choose to be the next target? ”

"Naturally, it's the state of Chu." Han Wangran replied without thinking.

"Judging from the ministers, it's more like the Wei State." Fan Sui said with deep meaning.

Probably afraid that Han Wangran would not understand, Fan Sui immediately explained: "The king must know that the state of Chu is too big after all, and it can be described as a big quagmire. There is another Wei State between Zhao and Chu, how can Zhao State rest assured! It was much easier to attack Wei, although the population of Wei was large, but the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was really not high. As long as the Wei army suffered a defeat. It is easy to retreat with a whole army. Wei Guo is not married to Zhao State at the moment, and Zhao State will not have much pressure from public opinion when he starts now. ”

Hear Fan Sui explain like this. King Han seemed to see the magnificent layout of Zhao State. If a qiē shun lì, this plan is undoubtedly excellent. If his own South Korea wants to have a showdown with Zhao Guo as late as possible, he really has to tie up Zhao Guo's chariot to death.

"In that case, I'll do my best." King Han said with a firm face.

At this time, the chamberlain quietly walked in and whispered, "Your Majesty." King Yan asked to see him outside. ”

"Hurry up, please!" King Han was shocked when he heard this, and then he seemed to think of something, and said, "Wait, the widow will go to greet him in person!" ”

After retiring from the chamberlain, King Han forgot Fan Sui's words meaningfully. said: "Sir, we just talked about King Yan, and King Yan came. It's really fateful! ”

Fan Sui laughed after hearing this, I really don't know if the arrival of King Yan is good news or bad news! Then followed King Han and walked to the gate.

"King Yan is here, the widow is really far away!" As soon as he saw King Yan, Han Wangran smiled and made up for it.

"Where is King Han, he is an uninvited guest, which can be described as an uninvited guest! It's good that I didn't bother King Han! Otherwise, I will be guilty of sin. King Yan also quipped.

"Welcome, welcome! King Yan, please inside! ”

"Please!"

The two guests and hosts immediately entered the middle hall, and their own chamberlain brought freshly brewed tea to greet the two without saying anything.

King Yan looked thoughtfully at the inconspicuous tea leaves in front of him, and felt a lot. A few months ago, he also built yì Ji Miao to dedicate the tea obtained from Xinzheng to the first king, in order to obtain the tolerance of the first king, but he didn't expect that things are people and everything, and in a blink of an eye, the first king died, and he also accidentally ascended to this seat that originally belonged to him.

"What? Yanwang doesn't like this tea? King Han, who was observing carefully, asked suspiciously.

"Where, where. The widow remembered that the first king was full of praise when he received this tea, and he was a little emotional for a while. ”

"I see. King Yan please mourn the change, the widow also still remembers the voice and smile of the first king, the deceased is gone, we are alive, the road is still very long! Han Wang sighed.

"Admittedly, the widow is out of shape. King Han is like this, the widow's little sister has been spoiled since she was a child, and the first king also allowed him to choose his favorite Langjun. Although the widow really wants to get along with King Han and get along with South Korea, but the sister is stubborn, if she can't pass this level, I'm afraid there is something wrong. If King Han can answer the three questions to the sister in the time of a stick of incense, the sister will have nothing to say about marriage. ”

(I'm sorry, here's some nonsense, I'll write 3900 words in a few chapters tomorrow, make up for it, thank you)

Ten days later, the kings of Handan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Yan gathered together to discuss the state of the country.

King Zhao, who had a smug face, took the lead in speaking and said: "This time, our four countries joined forces to drive the Qin State back to the Guannei in one fell swoop, and the morale of the Qin State is greatly lost!" In addition, the prince of Qin State has made such a fuss, and many courtiers have been exiled one after another, and Qin State will no longer be able to threaten our four countries in two or three years, which is really gratifying. How about drinking this cup together? ”

"When the float is white!" King Han, King Wei, and King Yan all spoke.

Last year can be described as the worst year for Qin, since the battle of Yewang, Qin lost Sanchuan, Hedong, Hexi, Nanyang four counties in a row, only got a corner of Taiyuan, Yanmen two counties. The loss of troops is still a trivial matter, and the most important thing is that the myth of the Qin army's invincibility has been completely broken. What's more, the more than 300,000 Qin soldiers who died in the war were behind more than 300,000 families, which was definitely not something that could be restored in a year or two.

After drinking this cup of wine, King Yan took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the widow can protect the temple and the society thanks to the power of the three of them. But this time the Qin State invaded, and our Yan State failed to reinforce in time, and the widow was deeply sorry. Here, I apologize with the wine in the cup. In the future, if there is anything that my Yan Kingdom can help, you can just ask. Please! ”

What King Yan said is also true, because of the rebellion of Gongsun Cao, the country of Yan has been turbulent for a period of time. If the Sanjin Dynasty did not send troops to intervene, or if the intervention failed, it would be like in the original history, King Yan waited for nine years and then put down the rebellion in one fell swoop.

However, this time, the Qin army retreated so quickly when the situation was good, it was a complete accident. If Gongzi City does not commit rebellion and inflicts heavy losses on the King of Qin, according to Bai Qi's command ability, it is completely possible to destroy most of Lian Po and then go south to defeat the Three Jin Coalition Army. At that time, Hedong will not be guaranteed or second, and I am afraid that Sanchuan will also change hands again. The situation that Sanjin has managed to create is likely to be in vain.

When the Yan army was halfway through the march, the news spread that the Qin army had fled back to Guannai overnight. The reinforcements of the Yan State, who originally planned to support Zhao Junlian's troops, could only retreat. King Yan also made this remark.

After listening to King Yan's remarks, the kings of Han, Zhao, and Wei drank another glass of wine.

As the master of this room, King Zhao shook his head nonchalantly and said, "King Yan's mind is unknown to King Wei and King Han. King Yan, please rest assured, the great cause of resisting Qin cannot be completed overnight. In the future, there will be an opportunity for you Yan Kingdom to show the demeanor of the Great Yan Iron Horse. ”

After hearing this, King Yan nodded, and then King Zhao said in a high-spirited manner: "Everyone, the heart of the six kingdoms of Shandong will not die if the Qin State is destroyed. The widow believed that Tyranny Qin had suffered this great humiliation, and once he was given a chance to relax, he would definitely make another big move. If we want to fight against the violent Qin, this requires our four countries to work together and fight side by side. In the future, whether the Qin army sends troops to Wuguan or soldiers to Hangu, we can make them come and go, what do you think? ”

"Yes! Yes, too! King Wei took the lead in responding.

"Indeed!" King Yan, who has repeatedly seen the failure of the Six Kingdoms of Shandong, also agrees.

Han Wangran nodded in agreement.

"As the widow said just now, once the tyrannical Qin eases up, it will be a big disaster. Now in our alliance, only Wei and South Korea are facing the Qin army, and the idea of the widow is like this, how about Han and Wei harassing Qin from time to time? So that it can't take care of the head and tail, not to mention stopping Qin Guohui! It is always excellent to be able to prolong the recovery time of Storm Qin to a certain extent. ”

Han Wangran looked at King Zhao quietly, and then looked at King Wei, who was listening, and finally called out "Okay".

Although King Wei was puzzled in his heart, South Korea had already agreed, and if he refused again, it would seem a little unsociable, so he also agreed. Anyway, I didn't guarantee that I would harass any Cheng dΓΉ, so I just had to take advantage of a loophole when the time came.

King Han knew what King Zhao was doing in his heart, so he didn't expose it at the moment, but just asked casually: "For example, in addition to our four kingdoms today, there are only three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Qin left." The widow listened to the meaning of Zhao Wang Fangcai, is it to build yΓ¬ our main force for the time being and develop our military strength? ”

"True!" King Zhao nodded in response.

"Now that the vitality of the Qin State has been greatly damaged, the Qi State and the Chu State have also fought to the death, if our four countries do not provoke disputes, others will never dare to harass us. In the eyes of the widow, peace of mind development is the best choice. King Wei, King Han, King Yan, what do you think? (To be continued......)
