Chapter 394: Plans to divide the land of the Zhao Dynasty
"Exactly!" King Yan waved his hand, and several eunuchs on the side immediately lifted the map from the side hall, and the two of them each held one end, and then a picture scroll about two zhang long and one zhang wide was slowly unfolded in front of everyone.
King Yan also got up from the throne and moved to the front of Yutu, and the ministers of the court also surrounded him in twos and threes.
The prime minister pointed to Zhao Guo on the map, and slowly began to tell: "The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
After the battle of Changping, the two counties of Shangdang and Hanoi were added, between thousands of miles, there were both the wealth of Handan and Hanoi, and there were no less than 100 large and small cities, and its national strength could be described as very large, or only under the Qin State.
Looking back, my Yan country, although there is also a situation of thousands of miles, but the north is bitterly cold, from Fuyang to Yuyang and going north, there are almost no city people, and the number of cities is not enough for the three and one of Zhao country."
As he spoke, the Minister of State turned around, looked at King Yan and the ministers who were staring at the map, and continued: "Therefore, this battle is also to fight strong with weak, and swallow big with small. We can't be greedy for this battle, and we can't do it overnight. Therefore, the fighters are not for the destruction of Zhao, but for the weakness of Zhao!"
"Specifically, our army needs to use the posture of forcibly attacking and destroying the country, carry out intimidation, and then coerce Zhao to sign an alliance under the city and cede the city to give way to the land." Chestnut looked at the crowd and said.
"That's a great word!" King Yan nodded frequently.
Even the generals on the side, Le Jian and others couldn't help but nod their heads, it's okay, they have a little bit of a count in their hearts! I didn't think about it, Zhao Guo swallowed it.
Seeing that everyone agreed with their ideas, especially the approval of political opponents such as Jiangqu and Lejian, the prime minister was also happy in his heart.
He immediately stepped forward, approached the map, and wrote on the map with his hand: "The territory of the Zhao State of Fuguan can be roughly divided into three parts, one is the northern Dai County, the second is the Handan County where the royal city is located, and the third is the Shangdang and Hanoi counties that are newly obtained from Han and Qin. If you get one of these three, you can cut off one of Zhao Guo's arms."
"Let's talk about the Shangdang and Hanoi two counties first, this is a new gain from the battle of Changping in Zhao State." Chestnut continued: "Although its foundation is unstable, but the people's livelihood is withered, the fields are barren, and my Yan country has obtained it, and there is no national strength that can be increased.
Second, its land does not border our Yan country, and it is difficult to control it;
Third, although this place is wide, it is at the junction of the four kingdoms of Qin, Han, Wei and Zhao, and it is the place of the four wars; Therefore, it is not advisable!"
King Yan nodded in agreement, in fact, no one thought of going to the party and the interior of the river. In addition to what I just said, the most important thing is actually another reason.
Without him, these two places are the land that the Qin State must get.
If you take these two lands, wouldn't that add to the blockage of the big brother of the Qin State? No matter how stupid the people of Yan are, they can't be so stupid as to offend the only two powerful countries in the world at the same time.
"What the Prime Minister said is reasonable, in this way, the only place that my Yan Kingdom can plot is Handan County or Dai County. No, no, no......" King Yan continued with his chestnut belly, but quickly denied his own claim.
"Handan County is the capital of the Zhao Kingdom, and it is also the birthplace of the Zhao State, its territory is vast, the land is fertile, and the population is sufficient, unless Zhao dies, it is bound to be impossible to let go of this place. In this way......" King Yan shook his head and looked at the northern land of the generation with some disgust.
"So our army can only take a barren land? I have to face attacks from other tribes in the north from time to time, and the prime minister, some of the gains outweigh the losses!" A minister then continued with King Yan's words.
The chestnut belly was speechless, what is the situation in our Yan Kingdom, even if it is better than the Daidi, it is very limited, okay, where is the face to dislike the people's Daidi? That's not how you shoot horses, brother!
But looking at King Yan's face, it was obvious that he was really a little reluctant to go to this place. Chestnut had no choice but to explain a little.
"My king is not in a hurry, although the land is a barren land, it has a vital role in the Zhao Kingdom. Zhao Guobian rode elite, and the war horses needed were all here; And nine out of ten of the rest of the cavalry's war horses also came from here. If it can be taken, it can cut off Zhao's elite side cavalry to help, and
Zhao Wubian's riding power is half gone." Chestnut said quite seriously.
"Oh?" King Yan was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "If we take the land, we will definitely train an elite army like the Zhao army's border cavalry. In this way, the combat power of my Yan Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom can be reversed."
Le Jian shook when he heard this-King Yan has fallen into arrogant paranoia!
Who says if you have a horse farm, you have a horse? Even if you have horses, will there be cavalry? Even with cavalry, can you train the elite of the elite like Zhao Biancai? What do you think?
Chestnut was obviously a little surprised when he heard King Yan's words, of course, as the minister of state, he would definitely not deny King Yan.
When he diverted the topic, he said, "The benefits of taking the land from my king are more than that."
"Prime Minister, please continue!" King Yan immediately commanded.
"Yes." Li bowed slightly, and then continued: "My king still remembers, where is Zhao Kuo, the general of Zhao State, now?"
"Daijiya!" King Yan replied without thinking.
"Yes!" Chestnut said with a smile: "If our army is stationed in the city with an elite army, cutting off the connection between Handan County and Daidi, and cutting off the supply of grain and grass, where will Zhao Kuo's troops, who are alone in the midst of a fierce battle with the Hu people, go?"
"This trap my Huaxia clan is in the hands of the Hu people, I'm afraid it's ......" King Yan hesitated.
"My king, that's a mistake!" Li Yu hurriedly explained: "I don't want to trap Zhao Kuo's troops to death, and after cutting off the grain route, I can send an envoy to Zhao Kuo's camp to show the benefits. If you advance, the whole army will be lost in the hands of the Hu people, which is the crime of China; If you retreat, you can be the minister of my Yan country, not the position of the sky. With Zhao Kuo's knowledge, he should be able to think about it.
What's more, King Zhao's treatment is so thin. The heavenly merit of establishing Changping, failed to increase the official rank, but instead took away his food and punished him with a cane, how could Zhao Kuo have no complaints in his heart?
Whether it is public or private, Zhao Kuo should make a wise choice."
"In this way, my Yan Kingdom not only won the land of Zhao State, but also the minister of Zhao State, which is the Emperor of Zhao State in the coming year, what am I afraid of!" King Yan had apparently been lost in the pie painted by the chestnut belly.
As a last resort, Jiang Qu could only come forward again and said, "I, Wang Rongyu, if Zhao Kuo quickly solves the Hu people before the grain is exhausted, what should our army do? Or, Zhao Kuo resisted the Hu people with a small number of troops, and led the main force south to open the passage, what should our army do?
According to Weichen's view, even if he attacks Zhao State, he should not be greedy for more, and it is already a blessing to be able to sign an alliance with Zhao State under the city and obtain the land on his behalf, and he must not divide his troops and leave, in a vain attempt to force Zhao Kuo to surrender."
"What Dr. Jiangqu said, the eyes of the rat are narrow, if Zhao Wang'er." Qing Qin on the side is worried that the prime minister of the country is leading the way, and he has nowhere to show it. Seeing the end of the ditch, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even unceremoniously replied.
"The so-called former army is easy to obtain, but it is difficult to find a general! Zhao Kuo is also a person, who has turned the tide of Changping to those who have fallen, and the main force of hundreds of thousands of Qin troops who have been defeated with the remnants of the army." Qing Qin looked at Jiang Qu, turned his head to look at King Yan again, and said, "Who is my king, how can I miss such a virtuous talent?"
"My king!" Qing Qin clasped his fists with both hands and said: "There is Zhao Kuo alone, and the army is ten thousand horses before the victory, if Zhao Kuo comes to Yan Kingdom, the last general will be willing to attach Weiji!"
In a word, the music room that he wanted to refute was blocked.
Obviously, as soon as Qing Qin's words came out, no matter how good the reason for Lejian was, it couldn't help but make people feel: Are you unwilling for Zhao Kuo to come to Yan Kingdom, thus affecting your status?!
This is really yellow mud falling off the crotch of his pants, it's not but is.
Who would mind that Zhao Kuo, a famous "god general", would come to his country? If you can learn a few tricks under him, it will be something that many people dream of!
However, would such a character fall to Yan Kingdom so easily? Even if the Yan army occupies the city and cuts off the connection between Daijun and Handan, such a situation may be called a desperate situation in the eyes of others, but is such a desperate situation really more desperate than the Battle of Changping?
In that situation of disparity in strength, in everyone
In the case of not being optimistic, Zhao Kuo still led the army to attack the Qin army, why did Zhao Kuo just cut off the city and the city, and Zhao Kuo would fall to the Yan State?
And once Zhao Kuo's anger is aroused, can Yan Jun stop him? What's more, in order to occupy the city and the city, the few forces have to be divided, is this a war or a joke?
It's just that these words can no longer be said by Le Ma. Because, when these words are spoken, woe to them!
"Therefore, the goal of our army is also: first, to replace the land completely, to take the land of Zhao's horses, to cut off the source of horses ridden by Zhao, and to strengthen the source of our army's troops; The second is to get Zhao Kuo's general, frustrate the spirit of the Zhao army, and weaken the combat power of the Zhao army! In this way, Zhao not only lost his elite soldiers, but also went to the famous generals, and also lost the population and food, and his strength was weak and weak!
And my Yan country, if I win land and people, not only will the momentum be boosted, but the national strength will also be the same! At that time, those who surpass Zhao State and carry the banner of Shandong's resistance to Qin will be my Great Yan Kingdom! In time, it is not impossible to share the world with the Qin State!" Chestnut Belly confidently announced to King Yan and his ministers.
"Good! Good! Okay!" Hearing this, King Yan said three good things in a row! Apparently pleased with the scene depicted by chestnut belly.
Although Yan Guo is now the little brother of Qin State, even for a long time, Yan State will be the little brother of Qin State, and when fighting against Zhao State, he still needs Qin State to help. It's just that, as the saying goes: a little brother who doesn't want to be a big brother is not a good gangster!
Therefore, people must have dreams, in case they come true!
