Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Since it was top-secret information from Hu Yiwei, it must be unmistakable.

In fact, Zhao Dan played a trick here, and did not reveal the real intelligence channel Lu Buwei.

After Yu Xin confirmed the news, he was very upset, and immediately said to Zhao Dan: "My lord, this Chu country dared to break the covenant and secretly colluded with Qin country. I thought that we must send troops to teach him a lesson. It is very unfavorable for Dazhao."

The current State of Zhao is not only the two allies of South Korea and State of Wei. In fact, the State of Yan and the State of Chu have also entered into an alliance with the State of Zhao. .

From this point of view, Zhao Guo is really the well-deserved "Wulin leader".

Of course, the monarchs of various countries don't pay much attention to the spirit of the contract these days, and they tear up any covenant contract as soon as they say it.

But the current diplomatic covenant system is very good for Zhao, that is, it can ensure that Zhao will not be attacked by other countries.

If such a system is destroyed, the "Six Kingdoms Conquer Zhao" is very likely to appear, and the Zhao Kingdom will definitely not be able to withstand this situation.

In fact, until the end of the Warring States period in history, the six kingdoms of Shandong were not without the power to fight Qin.

It's a pity that Qin's national power is strong first, and there are natural dangers such as Hangu Pass, and the six countries in Shandong are not in harmony, which leads to the miscarriage of Hezong again and again.

But now Zhao State Handan is located in the plains, and there is no natural danger at all. In terms of geographical location, it is much worse than Qin State, and its family background is not as strong as Qin State under the rule of Qin Shihuang at that time.

Therefore, the maintenance of the diplomatic covenant system is even more important to Zhao.

As soon as Yu Xin said these words, he immediately got Lian Po's approval.

The old general waved his arms, and said to Zhao Dan very imposingly: "Your Majesty, I also think that I must teach Chu State a lesson, so as to imitate others! If Your Majesty agrees, I am willing to be your Majesty's pioneer!"

Don't look at Lian Po who is going to be sixty soon, but the old general's momentum is not lost at all, and his desire to fight is very strong.

Zhao Bao hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Majesty, I just contacted Yiqu a few years ago in order to let Yiqu people cooperate with the army to attack Qin in the spring of next year. Now if you want to change the target to Chu , isn’t Yiqu’s actions in vain?”

Provoking the people of Yiqu was a strategy that Zhao Dan decided last year. After all, it had allowed Qin to recuperate for two years. It was time to harvest Qin again, so as not to let Qin regain its vitality.

Lian Po said disapprovingly: "Hey, what's the problem? Conquer Qin and Chu at the same time!"

Zhao Dan frowned, and directly denied Lian Po's proposal: "No."

Although Qin Chu has already formed an alliance, Zhao Dan thinks that he should try his best not to do things like two-front war.

Concentrate on one side first, and then deal with the other side. This is what Zhao Dan likes, and it is also the method that Zhao Guo has used in recent years.

Once Zhao Dan denied it, no one would mention the two-front war.

The next question is only one, whether to focus on Qin or Chu?

Around this point, Zhao's ministers had a heated debate.

Yu Xin, Lian Po, and Li Bo supported the first attack on Chu, while Zhao Sheng, Zhao Bao, and Pang Nuan supported the first attack on Qin.

So as a matter of course, Zhao Dan turned his attention to the last minister of Zhao Guo who hadn't expressed his opinion yet: "Zheng Qing, please tell me your opinion."

Zheng Zhu, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Zhao, touched the beard under his chin and pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Your Majesty, in fact, I think that this Handan Defense War should not happen again. Otherwise, for the Both the prestige of the king and Zhao will be affected."

When Zhao Dan heard Zheng Zhu's words, he immediately understood what he meant.

I don't want to fight the defense of Handan, but I just don't want to use the main force to conquer Qin Guanzhong again.

Obviously, Zheng Zhu is also more inclined to attack Chu State first.

Zhao Dan thought about it carefully, and felt that Zheng Zhu's words did not seem unreasonable.

Things like the siege of the capital really affect the country's prestige and national morale.

And if the capital is breached, wouldn't it be

During the last Handan defense battle, Wei and Qi formed a coalition to attack together.

This time, if Zhao Dan does not place the main force in the direction of the Central Plains, then in the most extreme case, the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Wei may attack together, and Handan will be really dangerous.

So after Zhao Dan thought for a while, he made a very happy decision.

"Since this is the case, then all the ministers will go down first and make a plan. After the beginning of spring, they will take Chu as the target of this conquest!"

Chapter 532 The Change of Yiqu City (Second Change)

Qin Beidi County, Yiqu City.

Winter has just passed, and although the ice and snow on the ground have disappeared without a trace, the cold air is still lingering around people.

Since Yiqu was merged into Qin State, this former capital of Yiqu people has become the county seat of Qin State Beidi County.

In the past few months, the atmosphere in Yiqu City has obviously been somewhat tense.

Although the State of Qin has adopted very strict control measures against Yiqu, in recent years, people in Yiqu have continued to rebel, large and small, which has caused Qin officials a lot of headaches.

Under such circumstances, the two kings of Qin successively issued the same order to suppress the Yiqu people's rebellion in a more severe way.

At the east gate of Yiqu City, dozens of dried human heads hang above the city gate, blowing in the wind.

The head that hung the highest was Yi Quhai, the leader of the Yiqu people who had attempted to launch a rebellion before.

In the afternoon of this day, a few people from Yiqu appeared on the road outside Yiqu city on horseback, and came slowly towards the city gate.

"Stop, show your biography!" The soldiers guarding the city stopped them and ordered them very sternly.

These people in name canal were obviously dissatisfied with the attitude of the soldiers defending the city, and took out the test pass from their arms cursingly.

After the inspection, the soldiers questioned the Yiqu people again.

"Why did you enter the city?"

"Friend's Faint Ritual!"

"Hunli?" The soldier snorted heavily through his nostrils, and after a while he said: "You guys, remember, don't walk around in the city at will, and don't cause trouble. By the way, Yiqu people need to pay ten qian to enter the city! "

"Ten money?" Several people in the name of Qu were angry when they heard it: "Why didn't those people who entered the city before us just need to interrogate, and didn't need to pay money?"

The soldier stared at these nominal people with a half-smile, and the meaning in the eyes was unclear: "Why, do you want to hang your head on the city gate too?"

Several people from Quzhou entered the city, all of them were unhappy, cursing angrily together.

"These Qin people are too deceitful!"

"You simply don't treat Yiqu people like me as human beings!"

"If you wait until the big event is done, then"

"Shut up! Have you thought about something bad!"
