Battle of Changping Chapter 251 Land for land for transportation

"Zeng Wenzhi, in the Battle of Hexi that year, the Wei army was defeated, and 15 cities in Hexi were sacrificed, and the Qin side withdrew its troops. When the letter of state was signed, the king of Wei wanted to stay away from the stone fortress to ensure the safety of the Wei capital Anyi.

The former Qin envoy Che Ying angrily reprimanded the King of Wei and said: The Wei army has been defeated, and the Wei State is always under the intimidation of our Great Qin soldiers, and they look up to the snort of our Qin army day and night, so that they must not regain their aggression and covetousness.

The king of Wei had no choice but to cede the Lishi fortress and move the capital to Daliang."

Looking at everyone's expressions, Zhao Kuo told the story of Qin Guo unhurriedly, and asked Fan Sui, "Does Xiangguo still remember this?"

Of course, Fan Sui remembered that this matter was propagated by the Qin State, in order to elevate the heroic and fearless image of the Qin people and the powerful image of the Qin State, and now that Zhao Kuo is using it to listen to himself, Fan Sui is obviously about to guess what Zhao Kuo wants to say.

"Now that my Zhao army has won a big victory over the party, how can I make the Qin army soldiers point directly at the weakness of my armpit?" Zhao Kuo said lightly.

The words re-established the necessity and justice of the Zhao army's occupation of Hanoi, and the way of attacking the shield with the spear of one side also made Fan Sui, who was able to speak well, a little speechless for a while.

Zhao Kuo understood: After a hard beating, he had to give a sweet date, and such a big thing would be done.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo continued: "It's just that my king has already promised your country to exchange the land of one county for the life path of Jiepai Ling, and the general will not dare to disobey the king's order, so the general can only make another deal with Xiangguo - exchange the land of Taoyi for the county of Hanoi."

When Fan Sui heard this, he was thoughtful, after all, when he was discussing with King Qin that day, he was making a choice between Hanoi and Shangdang, and since it was a choice, it meant that the significance of the two to the Qin State was almost the same.

In the eyes of Fan Sui and King Qin, although the land of Hanoi is also important, occupying it can pass through the Central Plains and threaten the Zhao State, but at the same time, this narrow land will also suffer from the coveting of the three kingdoms of Zhao, Han and Wei, and because there is no Shangdang County as a support, this land lacks the necessary strategic depth in the north-south direction.

In other words, the Qin State needed to invest a lot of manpower, material and military resources to be able to keep this land between Zhao, Han, and Wei.

The land of Taoyi, although it is an enclave, has not achieved anything geostrategically. However, after the operation of the marquis, a customary tax payment mechanism has been formed, and the money sent to the Qin State every year is not a small amount, and the economic supplement for the Qin State is actually far more than any county.

Obviously, in Fan Sui's view, Zhao Kuo in front of him will only calculate military accounts, but not economic accounts.

Of course, if it is just like this, it is the Qin State that suffers, after all, the function of Taoyi is so pointed, it is not impossible to expand again, but it is difficult to open up the passage to the Central Plains, and the land of Hanoi, if it can be extended to any of Zhao, Han, and Wei, then its function will be great.

To put it simply: Tao Yi Bao now, Hanoi War Future.

King Qin obviously has some long-term vision, and it is also based on this consideration that the land chosen by King Qin that day is the land of Taoyi.

But when these words came out of Zhao Kuo's mouth, they had a completely different meaning. If the slight gap between Hanoi and Taoyi can be exchanged for mutual distrust between Zhao Kuo, a genius general, and the king of Zhao, and even between the entire Zhao court, or even a complete break, then the Qin State will definitely make a profit.

Fan Sui was obviously moved.

And General Zhao Guochen behind Zhao Kuo is in a hurry! Especially Pingyuan Jun, he has experienced a crusade against Zhao Kuo's private invitation to Wei Jun in the Longtai Palace. If it weren't for Lin Shangqing's arguments, perhaps the general at this time would no longer be surnamed Zhao.

If it is said that the events of the day are just done without orders, and the situation is critical, it is understandable, but today's events are knowingly committed and completely trampled on the ground with King Zhao's orders. Don't think about it, after returning to Handan, it is imperative to dismiss the official and remove the knight, even if Zhao Kuo has just fought a life-and-death battle for the Zhao State.

But the words have been spoken, and there is no possibility of taking them back, and Pingyang Jun and Lou Chang on the opposite side will not give Zhao Kuo a chance to retract his words.

Looking at the look of surprise in Pingyang Jun and Lou Chang's shocked faces, Ping Yuanjun was both anxious and angry: How can this be? How so! This is my Great Zhao's Optimus Pillar

As a Wenchen, Pingyuanjun would not understand the importance of Hanoi County to the Zhao State, and Pingyangjun and Lou Chang would not think about it. But generals such as Lian Po and Tian Dan understood.

The more I understand, the more uncomfortable it becomes. What is uncomfortable is the group of people in the clouds in Handan, why do they want to stir up the storm, why they want to sell themselves at such a low price. If it weren't for those adults sitting in the court, why would their own generals have to make such a decision, obviously they can directly break the enemy and go to Hanoi!

Lian Po and the others knew in their hearts that the general was exchanging his future for the future of Zhao State. Unconsciously sighed softly, for the first time, the soldiers were a little disheartened - even the general was powerless to return to the sky, what could he do if he and others worked hard? For the first time, the generals seemed to be disappointed, suspicious and dissatisfied with the imperial court.

Of course, these negative emotions are not what Zhao Kuo wants. What Zhao Kuo knew was that Zhao State could not take Taoyi and could not fall into the quagmire of chaotic war in the Central Plains, and "distant friendship and close attack" was not only the national policy of Qin, but also the national policy of Zhao.

Seeing that Fan Sui had not answered, Zhao Kuo immediately asked: "If Xiangguo can't answer, you can send an envoy back to ask the meaning of the King of Qin, I believe that in three or five days, the Qin army of Shangdang can still wait."

These words almost forced Fan Sui to agree. Others don't know what the situation of Qin Jun who is now in the party is, but Fan Sui still doesn't know? Even if it is a flying pigeon to pass the book, a back and forth, it will take at least three days, God knows what kind of actions the Zhao army will have in these three days, not to mention the Qin army, which is in urgent need of food, and even the non-combat attrition will be thousands in three days.

These are veterans of a hundred battles! Don't say that King Qin is reluctant, and Fan Sui is reluctant!

Of course, the key is that the King of Qin has already spoken in advance and granted Fan Sui the right to make decisions on the spot, if he knew that Fan Sui used Hanoi County to exchange Taoyi, he would easily lock up Zhao Kuo, a genius general, in Handan City, maybe he would jump up with joy.

In terms of knowing people and being good at their duties, King Qin does have his uniqueness. Believe in it, just like the change of filial piety and business martingale, that is, to denigrate the prince, and the old family who punished the prince and the guilty old family also did not hesitate.

It's a pity that King Zhao obviously didn't cultivate to his home. Of course, this is also related to the history of various countries, after all, the Zhao royal family, which has experienced the change of the sand dunes, cannot be completely trusted between brothers, fathers and sons, let alone between kings and generals.

Hearing Zhao Kuo's persecution, Fan Sui immediately pretended to struggle and was embarrassed......
