"The king, the minister thinks that it should be united with the Qin state. When the heroes rise together today and the princes dominate, even if they send hundreds of thousands of troops and fight for several years, they may not be able to defeat a city. But if you form an alliance with the Qin State and join forces, you can easily obtain a large area of land. Moreover, Wei is located in the middle of the world, the land is rich, the transportation is convenient, if we can annex Wei, the strength of our Zhao State will be greatly increased. As soon as Yong Rui left, Zhao Bao stood up.

Compared with Qin, the biggest shortcoming of Zhao is population. Even with so much land expansion, the population of Zhao was still not as large as that of Qin. But if Wei can be annexed, Zhao's population will instantly surpass Qin's and become the most populous power in the world.

As for Wei Wuji's face, in front of the interests of Zhao State, he was worthless.

Zhao Kuo looked at this uncle speechlessly, compared to others, Zhao Bao's gaze was still too short-sighted.

In the last Battle of Changping, Zhao Bao only saw that receiving the Shangdang would offend the Qin State, but ignored the importance of the Shangdang to the Zhao State.

This time, Zhao Bao saw the huge benefits after the alliance of Qin and Zhao, but ignored that the biggest enemy of Qin was Zhao, not Han Wei. Qin's purpose was to split the Three Jin Alliance, not to help Zhao expand.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for two strong countries to unite against weak countries, because it is not in the interests of both sides.

Just like the Jin and Chu states during the Spring and Autumn period.

If you have to unite, it means that one country is going to play tricks on the other.

For example, the previous Qin State and the Qi State called each other emperors.

"If Pingyang Jun does this, the Qin State's plan will succeed." Xinlingjun glanced at Zhao Bao, if the other party was not Zhao Sheng's brother, and Zhao Sheng was his brother-in-law, he would have sprayed a long time ago.

Talking about how to destroy the Wei State in front of himself is completely ignoring himself.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Bao frowned, a little displeased.

"Today, the only opponent of the Qin State is my Zhao State. If Pingyang Jun were the king of Qin, would you pay a greater price to destroy Korea and Wei, but give me a greater benefit to Zhao? Wei Wuji asked rhetorically.

Zhao Bao was stunned for a moment, he realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't say anything wrong.

"If the minister expects to be right, once my Zhao State and Qin State form an alliance, Qin State will turn around and tell Wei State and Korea the news, and then unite the two countries to attack my Zhao State......" Wei Wuji said as he suddenly stopped, his eyes full of shock.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Sheng asked.

"We've been tricked. The moment the Qin State sent an envoy into Handan, we were in a trap. Wei Wuji sighed and said with a wry smile.

"What do you think would be the reaction of the two countries if this scene reached the ears of the envoys of Wei and the South Korea? Even if our Zhao State really sent troops to support Wei and South Korea, would the two countries still believe us? Will they think that I, the Zhao State and the Qin State, have secretly formed an alliance, and they are just acting for them. In this case, how could it be possible to win the Qin army. ”

Once the three kingdoms could not fight together, the military orders could not be unified, and they faced the top commander like Wu Anjun Bai Qi and the Qin army, one of the most elite armies in the world, defeat was almost inevitable.

Even if all the armies of Zhao are put in.

No matter how powerful Zhao Guo is, he may defeat a god opponent, but he will definitely not be able to defeat two pig teammates.

When everyone heard this, they froze.

Before, it was still discussing whether to send troops to support, but now Qin Guo directly helped Zhao Guo block one of the options.

Then, a wave of anger and grievance swelled in everyone's hearts.

Our own reluctance to send troops to support is completely different from being forced by the Qin State to be unable to support.

"Maybe before annexing the Yan State, we need to weaken the Qin State first......" Kong Bin clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.

It's too embarrassing to be calculated but unable to fight back.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao Guo's mind had not been on Qin State, where would it be Qin Guo's turn to calculate Zhao State.

Cai Ze was silent and did not deny Kong Bin's words, even though he had always advocated the annexation of Yan first.

"You say...... Is it possible that Wei and South Korea have secretly formed an alliance, and when our Zhao State sends troops to support, the two countries will ......," Zhao Bao said hesitantly.

"Impossible." Zhao Sheng immediately waved his hand and said, "If the Three Kingdoms have already secretly formed an alliance, the Qin State does not need to make another move at all. But...... If I, Zhao State, insist on sending troops to support, it will be difficult to say later. ”

Suspicion of this thing, once generated, cannot be stopped.

When Wei and Han suspected that Zhao and Qin had secretly formed an alliance, at this time, as long as Qin was slightly wooed, it was not impossible for the angry Wei State and South Korea to join the chariot of Qin State and rush to the chariot of Zhao State together.

Zhao Guo didn't dare to bet on this possibility!

Even if Wei and Korea did not form an alliance with Qin, it would be impossible for three suspicious armies to defeat the Qin army.

It can be said that if Han, Zhao and Wei can't trust each other, then the combat effectiveness of the Three Jin Alliances is not as good as the combat effectiveness of Zhao and one country.

"This is the terrible thing about this scheme, unless the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei trust each other very much, it is inevitable that there will be a rift, and the alliance of the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei ...... Clearly not unbreakable. Wei Wuji picked up the teacup on the table, raised his head and drank it all, and said weakly, "I don't know if this plan is from Fan Ju's hand or Lu Buwei's hand, it's really a problem for us." ”

"What's so difficult, according to the previous plan, just attack Yan Guo with all your might. Anyway, I, Zhao Guo, didn't plan to support Han Wei. Besides, Han Wei is not so easy to fight, maybe after we destroy the Yan State, we can send troops to support the Wei State again. Lin Xiangru said indifferently.

Cai Ze's eyes lit up, yes, Han Wei's strength was much stronger than that of Yan State, and it was impossible for Qin State to annex Han Wei before Zhao State annexed Yan State.

Zhao could wait until Yan was annexed before supporting Han Wei.

Besides, there are also Qi and Chu, and the two countries see that Wei can't support it, so they may not send troops to help.

"In this way, the Three Jin Alliance is about to break." Zhao Sheng sighed, for Zhao Guo, it is still very necessary for Han, Zhao and Wei to keep warm.

Although Zhao is strong now, it is not so strong that it does not need allies.

"After all, an ally is just an ally, how can it be as important as the growth of my Zhao State itself? As long as my Zhao Kingdom is strong enough, there will naturally be countries attached to my Zhao Kingdom. Lin Xiangru said undoubtedly.

South Korea was an enemy of the Qin State back then, and the blood of the killed was like a river, but in the end, it was not forced to become an ally by the Qin State, and the Qin army entered and exited the territory of Korea at will, without greeting.

Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru a little speechlessly, before everyone was thinking about how to crack the Qin State's plan, Lin Xiangru came out and forcibly pulled the topic back to whether to send troops to support the Wei State.

The envoy of the Qin State is here in vain!

"It's not that my Zhao State didn't save him when he saw death, but because he was messed with by Qin State, my Zhao State couldn't send troops, so I couldn't let the soldiers die in vain." Cai Ze said helplessly, I don't know, I think he has been supporting and supporting Wei State.

Wei Wuji didn't refute it, because what Cai Ze said was indeed the truth.

In the end, this court meeting ended without a hitch, no one persuaded anyone, everyone went back to their respective homes, and Zhao Kuo also walked towards the apse.

"How's it going, Lord?" As soon as Wei Wuji returned home, Hou Ying greeted him.

"Not too optimistic. The envoy of the Qin State brought us bad news...... The king and most of the ministers did not approve of supporting the Wei state, but the king had not yet expressed his position, and there was still a chance. Wei Wuji recounted what had just happened in the court, hoping that the old man in front of him who had followed him for many years could help him.

"What if...... What if the king still doesn't agree in the end? Hou Ying looked at Wei Wuji.

"In any case, I can't watch the Wei State perish and live alone in the world. If it really reaches that level, even if I am alone, I will go to support the Wei State. Wei Wuji said firmly.

He loves Zhao Guo because his sister married Zhao Guo and because of Zhao Kuo's kindness.

But he has no reason to love Wei, and he doesn't need a reason, Wei is his mother country, the place where he was born and raised.

Even if you pay with your life, you can't sit back and watch the Wei State fall.

"If it fails, the sovereign will die in the Wei state. If successful, Zhao will no longer have a place for the monarch, and the king of Wei will ...... Nor will they reuse the sovereign. Hou Ying poured Wei Wuji a glass of wine, poured himself another glass, and said slowly as if an old friend was chattering.

"Just have a clear conscience." Wei Wuji picked up his glass and drank it all.

He didn't know that he would die at the hands of the Qin army nine times out of ten, even if he succeeded in repelling the Qin army, Zhao Guo would be dissatisfied with himself, and Brother Wang would be even more jealous of himself, and neither would end well.

But, so what?

"After all, the power of one person is limited." Hou Ying persuaded that he didn't want to watch Wei Wuji go to his death.

"The strength of one person is also strength." Wei Wuji said seriously.

"Ugh." Hou Ying sighed, opened his mouth, and finally didn't say anything, just poured the wine in the cup into his mouth.

"Lord, the envoy of Wei is asking to see you outside." At this moment, a doorman walked in from outside.

"Let him in." Wei Wuji hesitated for a moment, but decided to meet.

"No."

"I've seen Xinling-kun." Zhou walked indoors and bowed.

"You and I haven't seen each other in ten years." When Wei Wuji saw Zhou, he felt a little emotional, many ministers of Wei had a good relationship with him at the beginning, which was also one of the reasons why King Wei was afraid of him.

"It's been more than that, it's been almost eleven years." Zhou said.

"I didn't expect to see you in Zhao State, I heard that Brother Wang asked you to serve as the minister of Wei State?" Wei Wuji asked, he knew that Fan Zuo had already left the Wei Imperial Court, although he was a little sorry, but Fan Zuo was also benevolent and righteous, and he couldn't say anything.

Although Zhou's ability is much worse than that of Fan Zuo, he still has more than enough to keep it.

Zhou nodded, "I came to visit Xinlingjun this time to ask about the envoy of the Qin State. ”

"Wei State...... This time it's difficult. Wei Wuji sighed, and told what had just happened in the court, without hiding it, because there was no need for this, but it would make Wei Guo even more suspicious.

"The Qin State is so cunning!" Zhou said angrily, he wanted to tell Wei Wuji that Wei Guo would not suspect Zhao Guo, but when the words came to his mouth, he still swallowed.

Because he found himself a little skeptical about whether Zhao Guo had secretly formed an alliance with Wei Wuji and Qin State, let alone others.

"Now...... Will Zhao still send troops? The face was like ashes, but he still tried to ask.

"I don't know, I ...... Do your best. Wei Wuji sighed.

"That'...... I'll take my leave first. Zhou said, disappointed and left the Xinling Monarch's Mansion.

The next day, Zhou and Zhang Ping asked to see King Zhao, who received them, but neither of them was able to convince Zhao Kuo in the end.

In the next few days, the two kept visiting Zhao Guozhongchen, hoping to get their help.

And Yong Rui, accompanied by officials of Zhao State, visited Handan College every day, or went to the library to walk around, and lived very unwell.

His mission has been completed, and he can leave as long as he waits for the Wei envoy and the Korean envoy to leave.

A few days later, Zhou and Zhang Ping left Handan, and Yong Rui also left.

The three of them came on the same day and left on the same day, as if they had said yes.

……

"The envoys of the three kingdoms are gone?" Zhao Kuo put down the book and said with some surprise.

"Well, they walked together, one after the other, only a few hundred meters apart." Liu Ping nodded.

"You say...... On the way, will they discuss peace talks or even alliances? Zhao Kuo asked.

"This should be the reason why Qin Envoy waited until now to leave." Liu Ping said.

"Alas, the widow knows that he shouldn't be in Qin's plan, but he still can't help but doubt Wei and Korea." Zhao Kuo sighed.

"The king is the king of Zhao State, and he must put Zhao State first. Besides, even if I, Zhao Guo, don't doubt it, Wei State and Korea will also doubt it. Liu Ping said.

"What has Xinling-kun been doing in the past two days?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Xinlingjun has asked for leave, and in the past two days, he has either stayed in the mansion or stayed in the Pingyuan Jun's mansion, I heard that Mrs. Pingyuanjun, that is, Xinlingjun's sister, wanted to see the king many times, but was finally stopped by Pingyuanjun and Xinlingjun." Liu Ping said.

"Let him be quiet for a moment." Zhao Kuo said.

……

Zhou Yi rushed to Daliang, and he didn't have time to bathe and change clothes, so he immediately went to the palace to meet the King of Wei.

Daliang was surrounded, and King Wei was not in the mood to go boating on the lake with Long Yangjun, so he sat alone on the edge of the lake, holding a fishing rod in his hand, on which he did not even tie a fishing line.

"What a bullshit fish pond, there isn't even a single fish, it's filled." Fishing, King Wei stood up suddenly, broke the fishing rod in his hand in half, and threw it into the lake.

"Great King, the minister failed to invite reinforcements from Zhao State." At this time, Zhou walked over from a distance and said with his head down.

This was the first thing he did after becoming Xiangguo and failed, and it hit him very hard.

"Zhao Guo is still blaming last year? Has he forgotten the covenant between the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei? King Wei said angrily.

"No, the State of Qin sent an envoy to Handan." Zhou recounted what had happened during this time.

King Wei was stunned for a moment, and after a long time, he sighed, "What does Xiangguo think my Wei State should do now?" Agree to Qin's conditions? ”

"The minister is willing to send envoys to the State of Qi and the State of Chu to ask for support from the two countries." Zhou said with a fist.

He met Yong Rui on the road, to be precise, it was Yong Rui who found him and Zhang Ping.

Yong Rui talked to him about the alliance between Qin and Wei, but he refused.

Even if you ask for support from Chu and Qi, it is better than forming an alliance with Qin.

Once allied with Qin, Wei would be completely reduced to a vassal of Qin.
