Battle of Changping Chapter 130 The messengers went out to ask for reinforcements

Seeing that King Zhao had already adopted his advice, Lin Xiangru immediately retreated, and the purpose had been achieved, which was naturally a good thing to hide his merit and fame.

As for the envoy, this kind of thing will definitely not be the turn of Lin Xiangru now, whether it is rank or body, Lin Xiangru is not allowed to be used as an envoy again, although the former Lin Xiangru is the most outstanding envoy in Zhao and even the Seven Kingdoms.

Soon, under the heavy reward of King Zhao, the candidates for the envoy were quickly decided.

However, what is slightly different from what Zhao Kuo imagined is that the envoys sent by King Zhao are not only Qi and Chu, but also Han, Wei, Qin and even Yan, and King Zhao has sent envoys to ask for help, and to ask for peace. It's a bit of a rush to the doctor.

Of course, the focus of the strategy is still Qi and Chu. To be honest, Zhao Wang's behavior is understandable, and it has little impact on Zhao Kuo's plan.

Because it is predictable that the effect of this call for help will not be very good.

Let's talk about Yan first, not to mention whether Yan can send troops, even if he agrees to send troops, the envoy set off from Handan and rushed to Jicheng of Yan State, and Yan Guo gathered troops and horses from Jicheng and set off, and when Yan soldiers arrived at Shangdang, the daylily was cold. What's more, now that Handan is empty and there are no more than 10,000 guards, do you really dare to let Yan soldiers cross the border from Handan? What if Yan Bing accidentally brought Handan to him?

What's more, today's Yan State has always regarded itself as the little brother of the Qin State, and even took the initiative to attack the Zhao State after the Qin State was a teacher in history, although in the end he was beaten by Lian Po with a broken army, and he no longer dared to fight with Zhao Guo. At this time, in the face of Zhao Guo's request for help, it is good to fall into the well.

As for why he didn't make trouble in the backyard of Zhao State at this time and responded to Qin State? Yan people are not stupid, although they are younger brothers, but they can't afford to make profits early, now they are messing up Zhao State, Zhao State is at risk of being destroyed at any time, and once Zhao State is destroyed, the next danger is not himself, Qin State has too much profit, and his own risk is too great.

Yan State is like this, Han Zhiguo is even more so, your Zhao State and Qin State are now fighting the territory is the Shangdang County of my Han Country! Why are you embarrassed to let me send troops to help? Do I have the ability to hand over Shangdang County?

The two weakest countries are removed, and what is left? I'm afraid it's not easy to do.

What about Qi State? Although it is still known as a big country, since the five countries attacked together, especially after Tiandan was driven away, the whole country has fallen into a decadence from top to bottom. The people only know about the barter of businessmen, and the court enjoys the blessings of prosperous sheng songs, but they do not think about the way to strengthen the country and strengthen the army.

How can it be saved, and how can it be saved?

On the contrary, the State of Chu has always been an ally of the State of Zhao, and it is also a generational enmity against the State of Qin, which is almost irreconcilable. This is also the reason why at the beginning of the war, the state of Chu was willing to send troops to save the state of Zhao.

But King Zhao's own head was pumped, and the king of Chu was ready to raise troops, but King Zhao, at the instigation of Lou Chang, engaged in peace talks and even alliances with the Qin State, and sold the Chu State to life. Now that the donkey skills are poor, and they need people to help, how can it be so easy in the world!

Even if the king of Chu is willing, the courtiers below are not willing! Who knows if he will be stabbed in the back by Zhao Guo again!

However, even so, in Zhao Kuo's plan, he never thought that these countries would be able to come to the rescue. As long as one or two countries are vague, or even the moment Zhao envoys get Handan, Zhao Kuo's purpose has been achieved.

Sure enough, in the afternoon, the scorching sun was in the sky, and the four gates of Handan City were opened, and several messengers carried all the hopes of King Zhao and the courtiers, carrying countless gold silk and beautiful jade, each to other countries.

Before many envoys left, several white pigeons had been released over Handan City, which were emergency carrier pigeons released by the guests of the Qin State, and when the edict was not yet delivered, they already knew the news that Zhao was about to ask for help, and the envoys of Zhao had not yet gone out, and they had already sent the message back to Xianyang.

I have to say that the Qin State was able to dominate the Warring States, and the guests of the Black Ice Platform contributed a lot.

It took less than a day, when the envoys of Zhao were still sleeping in the open and rushing to another country, the king of Qin received the latest news from Handan in the Xiangyang Palace, and arrived with the latest battle report of Wu Anjun Bai Qi about the main force that had besieged the Zhao army.

"Xiangguo, what do you think?" After Fan Sui looked at it, Qin Wang Yingji immediately asked.

Fan Sui put down the silk book in his hand, put it back into the tray side by side with Bai Qi's battle report, and groaned slightly, before replying: "Congratulations to my king, you got what you want!" ”

When the king of Qin heard this, he was not happy, but asked: "Why did Xiangguo say this, if other countries come to help, I am afraid that it will fall short." ”

"The Great King is also false." Fan Sui laughed and said: "If it was ten days ago, my Great Qin might have been afraid of other countries coming to help, and now Zhao State has been besieged by our army, under the shortage of food and straw, within ten days, the combat strength will be lost, and Zhao State is only now asking for help, even if there is a country to help, assembly, trekking, it must be one or twenty days, at that time, our army has already collected the corpse for the Zhao army, why fear the army of other countries?" ”

"The only one to be feared, all the nations will come together to attack!" Fan Sui added.

"What can Xiangguo do to break it?" King Qin continued to ask.

Fan Sui nodded and said, "Why do you need my Great Qin to contribute? Han Wei was weak and had no soldiers to come out; Yan is attached to Qin, and will not send troops; Qi is a good country and does not send troops; The only thing to worry about is the state of Chu, but with the power of the state of Chu, standing at this time, it is powerless to subvert it. ”

"What if Chu sends troops to Yan Ying, and Han and Wei unite and go north?" The King of Qin is worthy of being a king for decades, and he obviously has his own thoughts about the development of things, and he is not infinitely arrogant just by listening to Fan Sui's words, but puts forward a hypothesis that is the most likely and unfavorable to the Qin State.

Indeed, Han Wei is close at hand, and it may not be possible to form an army alone, but it is very likely that the joint army will be sent together and the combined army of Chu State, once the alliance of the four countries is reached, Han Wei and the remnants of Zhao State will drag the main force of the Qin army, and the army of Chu State will go west to recover the lost territory of Yan Ying, and the Qin army will be attacked in the north and south, thus completely falling into a dilemma of passivity.

But such a question did not stump Fan Sui, when he replied: "The alliance of the four countries does have its advantages, but it is easy to break it!" The country of Han and Wei is also, it is afraid of Qin for a long time, and it can be sent to intimidate, not to ask it not to go to the alliance covenant, but to be able to delay the speed of its march, if it can get more than ten days, our army can sweep the Zhao army. By that time, the Zhao army had been lost, and half of the battle strength was lost, even if Han Wei and Chu came to attack, our army only needed to send a partial division to delay one side, and meet one side with the main force, and each of them would be broken, so as not to worry about not being able to take the tripartite coalition army. ”
