Chapter 928: There is no shortage of people of insight
「……」
Fan Lisan was silent and silent.
With his empty mouth and white teeth alone, he instigated Qingji to give up half of the land of the old Zhao and distribute it to the princes, which would naturally cause dissatisfaction among everyone.
Especially the soldiers of the Wu army, who paid great casualties in the battle to destroy Zhao, were even more reluctant.
"Fan Li, you go on."
"The King's ......"
Wu Zixu wanted to persuade Qingji, but the latter waved his hand to interrupt the conversation, so he had no choice but to retreat.
Wu Guo is not guilty of words.
Fan Li's proposition will indeed cause unpleasantness, especially to provoke the dissatisfaction of the officers and men in the army.
However, Qingji is the king of a country, and he must take into account the interests of all parties, not just for the officers and men in the army.
Just to take care of the feelings of the soldiers in the army, and let Wu Guo lose more, this is by no means what Qingji will do.
Fan Li looked at Qingji, who was still speaking for himself, and finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "King, if you have to make an inch, you will be robbed, and if you take it, you will be a tiger and a wolf."
"What if you get five inches and take two inches back? If you do the math, you still have three inches, which is called cannibalization."
"On the eve of the battle to destroy Zhao, the king discussed with his ministers that this battle was a battle of weak Zhao, a battle to encroach on Zhao's land, but now the world is changing, and weak Zhao has become the destruction of Zhao."
"In order to dominate the world, the king has already set a national policy of long-distance friendship and close attack."
"Specifically: Dongyidi, weak princes."
"After this battle, no matter whether Wu wins or loses, the previous national focus will be overturned and restarted, and it will no longer exist."
After a pause, Fan Li sighed, "This is not a good thing."
"Nibbling has become whale swallowing, and distant and close attacks have become both far and near!"
"If you can settle things with half of the land of the old Zhao, this deal will be in the eyes of the minister...... It's worth it!"
Hearing this, Wu Zixu snorted and said very disdainfully: "What Fan Zi said, Da Miao!"
"How can the affairs of the husband and the state and the war be equated with the business? and the land of the cities and towns shall not be traded at will."
"Although the coalition forces are numerous, in the eyes of the old man, they are all local chickens and dogs, which are not worth mentioning."
Fan Li said surgingly: "Wu Xinjun, you have such a big breath. I don't know if you are sure that if you command the battle against the alliance of princes, Wu Xinjun, will you be sure of victory?"
"Soldiers are impermanent, water is impermanent!"
Wu Zixu raised his neck, blew his beard and glared, and said very stubbornly: "Although the enemy army is numerous, it may not be able to win. In contrast, although our army is small, it may not be defeated!"
Wu Zixu still gave an ambiguous answer.
Fan Li said slowly, "Since Wu Xinjun is not sure of victory, he should listen to what I have to say."
"Please."
Wu Zixu said angrily.
In fact, regarding this battle, including Qingji, Sun Wu, and Wu Zixu, no one is sure of victory.
In the battle to destroy Zhao, Wu lost sixty or seventy thousand soldiers before and after.
For Wu Guo, who has a large number of soldiers, this does not seem to be a bone-wrenching injury.
However, the Wu army is strong, is it possible that the armies of the countries are all vegetarians?
Apparently not.
The five kingdoms of Qi, Lu, Song, Wei, and Yan did not change the law, but after implementing the new policy for many years, the national strength has been significantly improved.
[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]
Ji Jin said, "You once said that if you lose your land, you will lose your land; If people lose land, people and land will survive."
"In the battle to destroy Zhao, the men of Zhao were completely damaged, and all that remained were the old and weak, women and children, and its land was also full of holes, and it was urgent to restore people's livelihood, which required great costs and many years to make the land of the old Zhao rehabilitated."
"The current Zhao Di is tantamount to a mess, full of devastation and mess."
"Why can't the king let go?"
"And ...... again"
There was a sinister smile on the corner of Fan Li's mouth, and he lowered his head and said, "The king gave up half of the land of the old Zhao and divided the five kingdoms of Qi, Lu, Song, Wei, and Yan."
"It's like throwing out a piece of delicious venison and letting five vicious dogs fight for it. Isn't it beautiful that the five dogs are bound to fight each other, and the king will profit from them?"
Hearing this, Qingji smiled and said, "Fan Li, this analogy of yours. Yes, it's very vivid."
"If the nations are unwilling to accept these conditions, what will they do?"
Qingji prepared for the worst.
"This ......"
Fan Li was silent.
If the nations do not accept this condition, it will only be the result of a full-scale war.
Qingji set his eyes on Sun Wu, who had been silent, and asked, "Sun Wu, do you have a good plan?"
"Returning to the king, the minister has no good plan. It's just that there is a plan that may work."
"Please."
"Why doesn't the king divide and attack the nations like the Battle of Huaishui in the past?"
Sun Wu said meaningfully: "The princes have dirty feelings with each other, and they are not monolithic."
"The national policy of my Great Wu is to make friends from afar and attack closely, so the king might as well make friends with Qi Yan and attack the three kingdoms of Song, Lu, and Wei at close range."
Qingji frowned and asked, "Specifically, how to implement it?"
"Not to mention the Yan State, the Qi State has coveted the land of the Wei State and the Lu State for a long time, and has long been involved in it, so in recent years, wars have often broken out in the East."
"There are many gentlemen, many riches, and rich land, but the military is relatively weak, and it has always been at the bottom of the nations. If the Qi State pretends to destroy the defenses, with the military strength of the Qi people, it will not be difficult to fight in one battle."
「……」
It is true that the Patriotic State is a weaker country.
Among Qi, Lu, Song, Wei, and Yan, the weakest national strength is actually Yanguo, and then Weiguo.
Don't look at the territory of Yan is very vast, but in fact, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the land is barren, and some are poor, so the Qi people can't look down on it at all.
Patriotism is different.
The country is located in the Central Plains, with the benefits of merchants, prosperous culture, fertile land, a large population, and the military has always been not strong, so it is indeed not difficult for the state of Qi to annex such a country.
"Will the Qi people do this?"
"Not necessarily."
Sun Wu shook his head and said, "Great King, this time, that time. The fall of the Zhao State and the strength of the Wu State have made all the countries feel a great crisis."
"Among the Qi country, there is no shortage of people of insight, especially Qi Xiang Tian Heng, how can he not know the truth of the cold lips and teeth?"
"This battle is a great opportunity for the nations. It may also be the last chance for the nations."
"Whether you can seize this opportunity or not is just a thought of the people of Qi Guo."
Qingji bowed slightly, "It's not impossible to try. Fan Li, you are responsible for sending an envoy to the court on behalf of the widows, meeting the princes, and privately speaking to the monarchs and ministers of the Qi Kingdom."
"If you can't do anything, return to Yecheng immediately."
"No!"
