Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Zhao Sheng said without thinking: "Now Han and Wei have captured a large area of ​​Chu State, which is actually enough from the perspective of weakening Chu State. Right now, our Zhao State should ensure the survival of Chu State, and we must also limit the land of Chu State." For the continued development of the two countries, from this perspective, we should send envoys to immediately stop the war between the two countries and Chu."

"In this way, Han and Wei cannot annex Chu. Although their strength has increased, the range of increase is limited. Chu has no choice but to fight with me, Zhao If the country has a good relationship, then the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu will be under the control of the king!"

When Zhao Dan heard this, he felt that this was not unreasonable.

For Zhao Guo, the outcome of this war is actually irrelevant who wins and who loses, what is important is that Zhao Guo's interests must be guaranteed.

What interest?

First of all, of course, try to keep the two younger brothers, Han and Wei, from Zhao Guo’s control after winning. After all, things like ambition will always expand with the growth of strength. The stronger the younger brother, the more difficult it is to control .

Secondly, although the failure of Chu State was in line with Zhao State's expectations, failure and subjugation are not the same thing after all.Of course, the subjugation of Chu will turn the seven heroes of the Warring States period into six heroes, but it will also make Han and Wei become two major powers in an instant after the division of Chu, which directly changes the situation of the entire Warring States period.

At that time, will the two countries of Han and Wei directly turn against Zhao Guo, or even unite with other princes to counterattack Zhao Guo?No one can say this is bad.

If Zhao Sheng's plan can really succeed, judging from the current territory occupied by Chu State, although Chu State will still be severely weakened, Chu State is after all a skinny camel that is bigger than a horse, even if the remaining territory It still surpasses any of South Korea or Wei.

In this way, a Chu State that is still alive, not too weak, and is a deadly enemy with Han and Wei, and can play a check role, seems to be an object that can still be allowed to exist.

Just when Zhao Dan was thinking about Zhao Sheng's words, Yu Xin on the other side coughed and said, "Mr. Pingyuan's intention is to encourage the king to use troops against Wei and South Korea?"

Zhao Sheng nodded almost without hesitation, and said: "Exactly. Now the road to attack Qin is too far away, Yan has just signed a contract, and Qi is an ally of Zhao at the moment, but Wei seems to be ready to move again recently. Signs, it is time to teach a good lesson."

Zhao Sheng's remarks brought in another question, that is, will Zhao Guo use troops against South Korea and Wei in the future?

If so, then Chu State can become a good helper of Zhao State, and at worst will not become Zhao State's enemy. It is a meaningful thing to preserve the strength and vitality of Chu State.

If not, then Zhao Guo's intervention in this war for mediation does not seem to have much meaning, but it will also cause Han and Wei countries to complain about Zhao Guo.

Considering that during the last battle against Chu, Han and Wei had already been ordered by Zhao Guo to cease fighting once more. If Zhao Guo issued the same order again this time, both Han Wangran and Wei Wangyu would definitely have great opinions. .

Zhao Dan tapped the table lightly with his fingers, hesitating for a while.

6 Chapter [-] Different Treatment (First update)

After all, there is a difference between a little brother and a dog.

Even if they are not familiar with any history, people who have only read some novels should be able to know that the younger brother can work hard for the elder brother, but the elder brother also has to give the younger brother certain benefits.

To put it simply, the younger brother also needs to support his family, earn some money to spend, and even wants to buy a car and a house.

But dogs are different.

For something like a dog, its ownership belongs to the owner, and everything about it also belongs to the owner.

It is its duty to go through life and death for its master. Rewarding such things depends entirely on the master's mood. It is normal if there is no such thing, and if there is, it is usually just a few bones.

There is no doubt that although South Korea and Wei Guo are Zhao Guo's younger brothers, they are not Zhao Guo's two dogs.

So these two younger brothers need benefits when helping Zhao Guo to fight, otherwise they may abandon Zhao Guo, the big brother, at any time. In fact, Wei Guo has already tried this.

As the saying goes, a younger brother who doesn't want to be a big brother is not a good younger brother.

When the state of Jin was strong, the state of Qi was subservient to the state of Jin; when the state of Chu was strong, Qin was willing to be the second younger brother of Qin in front of Brother Chu;

But it is also these younger brother countries, when the big brothers are weak, they will raise their weapons without hesitation, and ruthlessly backstab the big brother in the back.

Therefore, Zhao Dan has always been very vigilant towards these two younger brothers, adopting an attitude of "I eat meat and you drink soup".

But even so, with Zhao Guo leading South Korea and Wei to win successive victories, the two younger brothers drank too much soup, and they still grew up after all.

South Korea once competed with Yan State for the existence of the last among the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.Now it not only has 15 troops, but its territory is one more Nanyang County than that of South Korea at its peak, and it seems that it will soon acquire a large area of ​​territory south of the Yellow River in Chu State.

Wei Guo, once in decline, is now beginning to show signs of revival.Once the two counties of Jiujiang and Kuaiji fall into the hands of the State of Wei, then the State of Wei will have the capital to revive, and it is not impossible to re-emerge as a hegemony in the Warring States Period in time.

The younger brother's fist is hardened, so it's hard to control.

Xiangbang Zhao Sheng's words successfully changed the topic, and Zhao's ministers started another debate around how to treat Han Wei, the two younger brothers.

Lian Po snorted, and his white beard moved automatically with the opening and closing of his lips: "Your Majesty and Zhao Guofang are the leaders of the alliance of the three Jins. Since the leader ordered, then Han and Wei should obey! If Han and Wei If the two countries are unwilling to comply, then just fight!"

Fighting is a very pure, direct, and very military idea.

Zhao Dan's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he immediately denied Lian Po's opinion in his heart.

Yes, just hit it, what an easy way.

But the problem is that you have to fight well.

What is said here cannot be defeated, of course, it does not only refer to the two younger brothers Han and Wei, but if the two younger brothers Zhao Guo and Han Wei start fighting, other countries may also join the war.

Looking at all the countries in the world, Qin State is the old enemy of Zhao State, needless to say, Chu State was also taken half of Huaibei by Zhao State, Qi State was taken by Zhao State two years ago, Gaotang, Yan State just took Wuyang Ceded to Zhao Guo.

If the two countries of Korea and Wei are added, then a perfect lineup of the Six Kingdoms to defeat Zhao will come out.

This is an out-and-out enemy all over the world! !

It is true that with Zhao Guo's current strength, if there is a real fight, although the probability of losing will be higher, it is not hopeless to win.

According to the plan of the General Staff of the State of Zhao, once a battle of the Six Kingdoms against Zhao occurs immediately, then the State of Zhao's winning rate should be [-]%!

One sounds like a relatively low probability.

When hearing this probability, Zhao Dan was somewhat puzzled.

Qin Wangji's Qin State didn't have such a hard time when it faced He Zong. It doesn't make sense that the current Zhao State is weaker than Qin Wangji's Qin State, right?

However, according to the opinion of Zhao Guo's staff department, the reason for this situation is actually very simple, that is, Zhao Guo's geographical situation is really bad compared with Qin Guo.

As far as Qin is concerned, once attacked, it only needs to stick to Hangu Pass, and there is no need to worry about being attacked from other directions.

And Hangu Pass is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, which gives the Qin people a great advantage when dealing with Hezong.

But Zhao State is different. The core area of ​​Zhao State is located in Handan in the Central Plains. It is all plains and there is no danger to defend. No matter which one is Yan, Qi, Han, or Wei, it is very easy to go all the way to the city of Handan. It made Zhao Guo very difficult to defend.

In addition, due to the existence of the Taihang Mountains, although Zhao Guo has a vast territory, it is divided into three major lands: the southeast of the Central Plains, the north, and the southwest of Jinyang.

These three lands are directly separated by the steep Taihang Mountains, and the distance between them is quite far. It is very difficult to support each other and transport troops, but it is easy to be defeated by the enemy one by one.

So don't look at Zhao Guo being able to defeat the Qin State in the era of Qin Wangji, but when it comes to dealing with the situation where the world is an enemy, the Qin State in the Qin Wangji era is much easier to deal with than Zhao Dan's Zhao State, it can be said One is Qin State with easy difficulty, and the other is Zhao State with hell difficulty.

Zhao Dan is not a masochist, so naturally he won't play hell difficulty, it's better not to offend all other Warring States princes.

After Lian Po's opinion was rejected, Pang Nuan, Lian Po's deputy and the real head of the staff department, put forward another opinion.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the relationship between Han and Wei is not monolithic, and there is no need for Your Majesty to regard Han and Wei as one."

Zhao Dan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, as if he suddenly understood something, he hurriedly said: "Pang Qing, continue talking."
