Battle of Changping Chapter 212 Difficult to give up for rescue

Needless to say, the land of Hanoi was originally the territory of the Great Wei State, and the battle of Yique in Baiqi was surnamed Qin from then on. Now it is necessary to add the wild king and other places that were taken from the country of Han.

From a geographical point of view, the land of Hanoi is still an important checkpoint on the Kunhan passage from the east of Qin, and more importantly, Hanoi is also an important node for the blockade of Shangdang County.

Yewang City, which it has just merged, is stuck in the passage in and out of Shangdang, and it is also the passage connecting the north and south of the country of Han. Yewang City is in hand, and the army of Hedong can attack the Shangdang, and if you retreat, you can protect Hanoi and Hedong from being disturbed, which can be described as a strategic place.

On the other hand, what about Taoyi?

Therefore, the capital of the Song Kingdom is known as the middle of the world. Since ancient times, it is the place where merchants pass through, Fan Li is hidden here, so there is Tao Zhu Gong, and the potter is Tao Yi.

Qi annihilated the Song Dynasty and was attacked by the five countries, almost destroying the country, and the Song State, which was hard to get its hands on, was also divided by the Five Kingdoms, and the richest of them, Taoyi returned to the most powerful Qin State. At that time, it was not the King of Qin who was in power, but the Queen Mother and her uncle Wei Ran, and this rich Taoyi became Wei Ran's fief.

Taoyi is also worthy of being among the world, although it experienced a war, but it quickly recovered, and brought extremely rich taxes to Wei Ran, so Wei Ran, who tasted the sweetness, began to think of a way to expand Qin's power in the Central Plains. And Qin Guo also suddenly realized that the land of the Central Plains was really rich!

The Qin State, which was accustomed to poverty, had thoughts about the plastered land of the Central Plains for the first time, and this also caused the national policy of the Qin State to deviate for a time, trying to open up the passage between the Qin State and Taoyi, including the territory of the Qin State in the Central Plains. And this road is an important reason why the former overlord Wei is weakening - it has fallen into a quagmire-like melee in the Central Plains.

At this time, the Qin State even proposed more than a dozen strategically important cities such as the Lishi Fortress in Shanxi in exchange for the cities of the Zhao State in the Central Plains that had no other use except for wealth. And this is the cause of the famous battle of the Yan and the war.

And it was in this battle that the Qin army directly attacked Yanhe from the Shangdang region, almost splitting the Zhao State into two, which also made the high-level Zhao State thoroughly see the importance of the Shangdang region to the Zhao State. And this is also one of the causes of the battle of the party.

Having said so much, in fact, it is simply one sentence: Taoyi is too rich! It was so rich that the Qin State even changed its national policy because of it!

On the one hand, it is a strategic place that can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and the other is the rich Central Plains.

Money or death?

If Fan Sui chooses it, it will definitely be fatal. But the land of Taoyi is still the former fiefdom of Wei Ran, the marquis of the country, although Wei Ran was moved down by the King of Qin himself, and now he is deceased, but he is really a relative! The king of Qin can become the king of Qin safely, and the marquis has also made great efforts, and now Wei Ran has only been gone for a few years, so he will send out other people's fiefdoms?

What do you make King Qin think?

So, how to choose? No choice! No matter how you choose, it's wrong!

This multiple-choice question can only be done by King Qin.

King Qin saw that Fan Sui was silent, and immediately understood what he meant.

After thinking about it again and again, King Qin was still ruthless and said, "With the wealth of Taoyi, you can exchange it for 100,000 elite soldiers."

King Qin's reason is simple, and the national policy dictates it. Since Fan Sui became the prime minister, the national policy of the Qin state has changed to "distant friendship and close attack", and Taoyi, which is located in the Central Plains and separated from Han and Wei, obviously does not belong to the near range.

It's just that King Qin, who made this decision, knew that it was painful in his heart. After three years of fierce battles, the Qin State has been greatly injured, and it is precisely the special economic zone like Taoyi that needs blood transfusion and blood replenishment, and giving it away is tantamount to giving up his blood bag to the opponent Zhao State. After the autumn harvest, Zhao Guo will be able to take advantage of this to relieve a large mouthful of blood.

To be honest, King Qin didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.

Fan Sui, who heard the words, didn't have so many thoughts, even if he had simply received the order, he didn't give King Qin a chance to regret it at all. After all, "long-distance friendship and close attack" is the basic national policy proposed by Fan Sui.

Now that the bottom line of the negotiations is in place, the next question is the selection of emissaries.

Although from King Qin to Bai Qi to Fan Sui, they all had great expectations for persuading King Zhao to withdraw from the army, but the same

Several people also knew the difficulty. Therefore, the selection of the envoy is really a problem.

King Qin then asked again, "I don't know who can send an envoy to Zhao for the widow to persuade Zhao Wangyan?"

After thinking about it again and again, Fan Sui finally saluted to King Qin and said, "Time is running out. Wechen asked him to be the king's envoy and personally go to the city of Handan in Zhao State."

King Qin nodded, then shook his head again.

The meaning of the nod is to recognize the diplomatic ability of Xiangguo - if there is anyone who can speak the most in today's Qin State, it must be Xiangguo Fan Sui.

Shaking his head, but it is useless for Xiangguo to go, but it is in danger of falling into Zhao Guo. After all, Qin and Zhao have been at war for a long time, and the two countries have deep grievances, and now that the Zhao army has the upper hand, how can King Zhao easily retreat? Even if the price is given, I am afraid that it will be difficult to succeed. If Zhao Guo controlled his own Xiangguo, King Qin would have no place to cry.

"Sangkook?" King Qin pondered the words and wanted to share his words with Fan Sui to see if there was a better way.

Fan Sui shook it to the end and said, "My king, this sincerity is in danger of survival. The honor and disgrace of Weichen alone is really insignificant compared to the safety of the Qin State. Besides, if it is not a micro-minister's boast, there is no one who is good at speech in the Qin State, and this matter is difficult, unless the respect of the micro-minister cannot suppress the Zhao State, and the sharp tongue of the non-minister is not enough to convince the King of Zhao."

As he spoke, Fan Sui hugged his fists again: "Please take my king as the thought of Jiangshan Sheji, take my century-old foundation of Great Qin as my mind, and allow Weichen to send an envoy to Zhao State to save the crisis."

When the King of Qin heard this, he was greatly moved in his heart, there have always been many patriots, but it is difficult to do patriotic things, but Fan Sui, who does not want to be born in another country, always thinks of the Qin State everywhere, how can he not make the King of Qin moved.

But the more moved, the more reluctant King Qin became.

"But?" King Qin also understood that Fan Sui had to do this matter, but after some words, King Qin didn't want Fan Sui to be in danger from the bottom of his heart.

Does Fan Sui love Qin Guo?

It must be love! Without him, everything Fan Sui has now, whether it is the life of brocade clothes and jade food, or the majestic pomp, it can be said that it is all given by the Qin State. Without the Qin State, he is nothing.

Fan Sui saw this very thoroughly.

Therefore, Fan Sui must love Qin Guo.

Of course, from another point of view, Fan Sui must also love himself more than Qin Guo.

It's just that along the way, from a "traitor" who was expelled and even almost killed, to the minister of the world's most powerful country, the hardships are not enough for outsiders.

If Fan Sui doesn't want to fall again, then he can only stand up. Helping Qin Guo is helping himself.
