Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Will Fan Sui disappoint Qin Wangji?

The answer is of course not.

Although the incident happened suddenly, with Fan Sui's talent, even the short period of time he came to the palace was enough for him to prepare the draft in his stomach.

I saw Fan Sui smiled slightly, and said in a leisurely manner: "The three kingdoms of Zhao, Chu, and Qi are united. Although they are powerful, they are not inevitable. I have three strategies from the top, the middle, and the bottom to solve this crisis. I don't know what the king wants to hear first. ?”

Chapter 50 Xianyang Palace Conference (2)

When this Fan Sui spoke, he was really full of confidence. If you give him a fan and shake it a few times, then this Fan Sui who is strategizing and guiding the country is enough.

The ministers of the Qin State on the side were also surprised. After all, everyone had discussed it before Fan Sui arrived, but there is really no one who can be as confident as Fan Sui. The next three strategies come.

This is the difference in level, otherwise, how could Fan Sui be a prime minister?

Qin Wangji glanced at Fan Sui with appreciation. As a king, what he likes the most is this kind of courtier who has ideas, and there are many ideas.So Qin Wangji said: "Since this is the case, Fan Jun can speak first."

Fan Sui nodded, and said with a smile: "The best strategy is to return Yingdu to Chu State, and then bribe the Chu State Commander Yin Huangxie with a lot of money and generous gifts. Huang Xie once accompanied Chu Wang Yuan as a hostage in Daqin, Most of his words and deeds have the meaning of fearing Qin, if he can win Yingdu without fighting, then Huang Xie will persuade Chu Wang Yuan to retreat."

"Return the capital of Ying to Chu?" Qin Wangji frowned subconsciously when he heard Fan Sui's bad move.

To be honest, it is not that the Qin State has never done such things as returning the land.

In so many years of fighting against the six kingdoms of Shandong, Qin State often used the return of cities and land as bait to disrupt the situation of other countries uniting to fight against Qin State, and it often worked.

But Yingdu's words are a little different.After all, this city has been the capital of Chu State for nearly 500 years, and its symbolic meaning is extremely important to Chu State.

Moreover, Yingdu is located on the Jianghan Plain, the headquarters of the Chu people for hundreds of years. Returning Yingdu to Chu is equivalent to returning the Jianghan Plain. Wouldn't this allow Chu to regain the land of Longxing? , With the capital of revival?

Qin Wangji thought for a while and said, "It must be Yingdu?"

Fan Sui nodded affirmatively: "You must retreat from the Chu army."

Qin Wangji said again: "If Ying returns to Chu, can the people of Chu go north to help our army defeat Zhao?"

Fan Sui said: "I heard that Chu Wang Yuan and Zhao Shi Yu Xin made a blood alliance. This matter may be quite difficult."

Qin Wangji pondered for a while, and then said: "What is the middle policy?"

Obviously, this last move was not to Qin Wangji's liking.

Fan Sui was not surprised by this, otherwise Fan Sui would not have listed this strategy as a bad one.

So Fan Sui continued: "The middle strategist, the king can send envoys to Yan, and order Yan to send troops to attack Zhao Daijun. Zhao will be attacked by the enemy, and he will be in chaos. In this way, my Great Qin can take the initiative and use Wu'an's ability to defeat Zhao first. Breaking through Chu in the future is not empty talk."

As soon as this middle strategy was implemented, Qin Wangji's complexion improved a lot.

Today's Qin State is located in the southwest of Zhao State, and Yan State is located in the northeast of Zhao State. Qin and Yan just sandwich Zhao State in the middle.If the State of Yan could send troops to attack the State of Zhao and stabbed the State of Zhao fiercely in the back, it would indeed make the State of Zhao extremely passive under the enemy's back.

Besides, now that Qin and Yan are allies, it is reasonable for Qin to ask Yan to send troops to help.

Qin Wangji thought for a while, and said: "Then Yan Wang and Zhao Wang are related by marriage, this may be an obstacle."

Fan Sui smiled and said: "The first queen mother is the daughter of Chu, did Qin and Chu reconcile because of this? Kuang Chen heard that Queen Yan was sick and childless, she has not been favored by the King of Yan for a long time, the king is worried."

Qin Wangji's mother declared that Empress Dowager Mi Bazi was the princess of Chu, but Qin Wangji didn't frown when he asked Bai Qi to burn the tombs of the ancient kings of Chu.In the face of national interests, a mere relationship by marriage is really nothing.

When Fan Sui said "I'm sick but have no children", the Prince of Qin, An Guojun's expression moved slightly, and a strange look flashed across his face, but he didn't speak.

Qin Wangji didn't notice this small change in his son, but nodded slightly after thinking for a few seconds: "Since this is the case, what is the best strategy?"

Fan Sui saw Qin Wangji affirmed his strategy, and the smile on his face increased a bit, he smiled again: "The best strategy is to attack Zhao Ye by talking about Wei. Wei Daliang and Zhao Handan are only a hundred miles away, and they will arrive sooner or later. Moreover, Zhao’s food and grass all come from Handan to Changping, and if Handan is besieged, the Zhao army’s rear will be cut off, and there will be no food and grass, so it will undoubtedly be defeated!”

Fan Sui's best strategy is also to persuade other countries to attack Zhao.But unlike Yan State, Wei State is closer to Zhao State and the current Changping battlefield.

Zhao Guo’s grain road in the Battle of Changping was from Handan to the west along the Zhang River, up to Wu’an, and then passed through Zhongmou, the important town of Zhao Guo, and walked Yangchangxing and Fukouxing among the “Eight Xings of Taihang” , was transferred to the Changping battlefield of the Dongshang Party through the Beishang Party, which is now controlled by Zhao Guo.

In history, after the siege of Zhao Kuo's army in Changping, Qin Wangji "from Hanoi County, bestowed a rank on each of the people's ranks, and learned about Changping when he was over fifteen years old, and blocked Zhao's rescue and food." Fukouxing these two routes.

What Qin Wangji can do with 10,000+ farmers can be done better and more thoroughly if Wei's 10,000+ elite army can do it.

Once Handan is besieged and Yangchangxing and Fukouxing are blocked, the food road and back road of the Zhao army in Changping will be cut off in an instant. It can be said that basically the defeat of Zhao State is set.

But Fan Sui's best strategy actually has a problem that cannot be ignored, and this problem was raised immediately.

Prince An Guojun of the Qin Kingdom, who has always played the role of a mascot very well, finally couldn't help but speak at this time: "Fan Jun, the two countries of Zhao and Wei belong to the Three Jins and are allies, but according to a lobbyist, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Wei Guo to turn his back on the alliance and attack Zhao Ye."

This is the biggest problem.Although the State of Wei hesitated because of various factors during the Battle of Changping, the choice that the State of Wei hesitated was always to help or not to help the State of Zhao, and never had the option of helping the State of Qin.

Due to Qin's well-developed intelligence and spy network, the Qin monarchs and ministers present knew this well.

Therefore, Qin's monarchs and ministers have always thought that it would be good for Wei to be neutral, and they never thought that Wei would join Qin's side.

Fan Sui saw everyone's doubts, and couldn't help laughing: "Mr. An doesn't know something, at this time, at that time. At that time, Wei Guo was afraid that our Great Qin would seize the Shangdang and advance eastward, so it helped Zhao Zhiyi. But now Qi Chu Zhao The Three Kingdoms are all strong neighbors of the Wei State, and they have long had grudges with the Wei State. The Three Kingdoms joined forces to attack Qin. Our Great Qin is certainly unstoppable, but how can the Wei State feel at ease? The King of Wei must take this as a danger!"

When Fan Sui said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "So in my opinion, we only need to send a powerful lobbyist to Daliang, and pay a lot of money to bribe the son of the King of Wei to favor Lord Longyang, then the State of Wei will definitely send troops to attack Zhao. So long Ping Wuyou, I, Da Qin Wuyou!"

Fan Sui's best policy is actually still looking at the problem from a diplomatic perspective.

Wei State is located in the Central Plains, with Qi State to the east, Chu State to the south, Zhao State to the north, and Qin State and South Korea to the west.

Such a national boundary had an advantage when the Wei State was strong and became the leader of the Warring States Period, that is, the Wei State could hang everything from the southeast to the north and south, and suppress all kinds of dissatisfaction.

But now that the state of Wei has declined, the original benefits have become disadvantages for the state of Wei, because now the state of Wei has become the target of being beaten by others from all directions.

Before Wei Guo was afraid that Qin State would continue to advance eastward after occupying Shangdang, so he wanted to send troops to support the lonely Zhao State to prevent Qin State from advancing eastward. From the standpoint of Wei State, this was obviously very reasonable.

But the situation is different now. Now that Zhao Chuqi is united against Qin State, if Qin State is defeated by the Three Kingdoms, will the Three Kingdoms take advantage of the situation to destroy Wei State, which happens to be in the middle of the Three Kingdoms, and divide it up?This is what Wei Guo must be vigilant about.

In fact, it's not just the state of Wei, even the state of Yan in the north is also afraid of being divided by Qi and Zhao.

To put it bluntly, the Three Kingdoms Alliance of Zhao Chuqi is now the alliance between the second, third and fourth among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. Such an alliance is really too powerful!It is enough to cause worry and fear in other countries.

With this kind of worry and fear, there is a possibility of turning enemies into friends and fighting side by side between Qin State and Wei State, and this possibility is actually not small.

After Fan Sui's analysis, the Qin monarchs and ministers present suddenly realized, and all of them looked at Fan Sui with admiration.

This is where Fan Sui's ability lies. The prime minister of the Qin Kingdom can always analyze the key points of the situation through all kinds of intelligence in the turbulent and complicated diplomatic situation, so as to take correct countermeasures and customize Beneficial to Qin's plan.

Once Fan Sui's plan is realized, the original situation where Qin singled out Zhao Chuqi will evolve into a six-nation war between Qin Weiyan and Zhao Chuqi.

If you consider that the main battlefield at this moment is actually in Shangdang County in South Korea, then in fact this battle is a super battle in which all the seven heroes of the Warring States Period participated!

Qin Wangji took a deep breath. Even though he is 65 years old now, the king of Qin is still excited by the plan that Fan Sui said.

So Qin Wangji nodded vigorously, and said in a deep voice: "Fan Jun's strategy is great! According to Fan Jun's words, he immediately sent envoys to Ji and Daliang to make sure that Yan and Wei countries sent troops to help us Daqin! This battle is of great importance. The ministers need to do their best, and if there are those who act obediently and violatingly, or secretly collude with the enemy's country, I will definitely kill them!"

When talking about "collaborating with the enemy country", Qin Wangji's eyes flashed a strong murderous intent.Obviously, the fact that Lord Wu An's Bai Qi became the commander-in-chief was leaked and spread uproar in Handan of Zhao State made the King of Qin State very dissatisfied, and he had already had some doubts about these courtiers.
