Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"Oh?" Qi Wangjian asked, "What does Hou Qing mean by this?"

Hou Sheng said: "Then Wei Wangyu has always been at odds with Zhao Wang. Although Wei State is temporarily surrendering to Zhao State, I think that within three years at most, there will be a big war between Zhao and Wei. At that time , Your Majesty, just go ahead and attack the Yan Kingdom."

Qi Wangjian narrowed his eyes, and nodded slowly after a long time: "This damn Zhao Guo is very good, if this is the case, then I will call the envoy of Yan Kingdom to the palace for the widow, and the widow should have a good talk with him. talk!"

Chapter 675 An Even More Annoyed Wei Wangyu (Third Update)

Tao Yi.

"The situation is not right, the situation is not right!"

Wei Wangyu yelled at Ganzi Xiangbang Duan in front of him with a look of anger on his face, like a lost angry lion.

"The widow has a feeling that that kid Zhao Dan must be secretly plotting some kind of conspiracy against the widow!" Wei Wangyu said to Ganzi Duan with certainty, as if he had witnessed the conspiracy with his own eyes.

Duan Ganzi looked at his own King who was on the throne with an unhappy expression on his face, feeling a little flustered in his heart, and asked tentatively, "Does Your King think that this King Zhao might choose to attack the Kingdom of Wei?"

Wei Wangyu snorted heavily, and then said to Duan Ganzi: "No, I think that this King Zhao will definitely choose to attack our Wei country!"

Duan Qianzi had a surprised expression on his face.

As the Prime Minister of the Wei State, Duan Ganzi is not completely an idiot in every place. For example, he studied the foreign policies of Zhao State and Zhao Dan for a while, and then came to a conclusion. That is, Zhao Dan is actually not a person who will tear up the covenant easily.

Yes, despite Zhao's expansion over the years, but when it comes to trustworthiness, Zhao's level of trustworthiness is actually better than the other six countries.

Generally speaking, if Zhao Guo can tear up the original covenant and go to war, it must be because the other six countries have done something wrong to Zhao Guo, and then Zhao Guo will go to war after he has a justified reason.

For example, Chu State was discovered colluding with Qin State, and then was attacked by Zhao State.

Another example is that Yan State stabbed Zhao State's knife in the back in the previous battle and attacked Qi State once, which later attracted Zhao State's revenge.

Famous teachers, this is the biggest characteristic of Zhao Guo.

But if Zhao Guomao rashly sent troops to Wei, it would obviously not be in line with the famous characteristics of this kind of division.

So after thinking about it, Duan Ganzi said to Wei Wangyu: "This is impossible, my lord. You must know that your lord is still an ally with that country of Zhao! With King Zhao's usual style, I think it should be done." Nothing like this will happen. At least give him a reason before he comes to attack us."

Wei Wangyu snorted heavily, expressing his dissatisfaction in his heart: "That Zhao Dan, likes to play the bastard trick of stabbing a knife in the back! What kind of allies are not allies, it will not be a burden to Zhao Dan at all! Have you forgotten? Isn’t our plan to attack Chu State the best excuse for Zhao Dan to send troops?”

As soon as Wei Wangyu finished speaking, Duan Ganzi's body trembled.

According to the final plan made by Wei Wangyu and Duan Ganzi last year, the attack on the Chu army will be temporarily suspended in winter, and the Chu State will be conscripted again in the spring.

However, this kind of behavior is actually not allowed by the State of Zhao. As the leader of the alliance of the Three Jins, the State of Zhao has already sent envoys to warn King Wei of Wei not to continue fighting with the State of Chu.

Under such circumstances, if Wei Wangyu still went to war against Chu State, it would undoubtedly give Zhao State an excuse, an excuse that could be used to attack Wei State!

Thinking of this, Duan Ganzi couldn't help but sweat all over his back.

As for the strength of Zhao Guo's army, Duan Ganzi has personally experienced it.

When Li Mu flooded Daliang City, Duan Ganzi was also in Daliang City!

So Duan Ganzi is in awe of Zhao's army in his heart.

Although the Wei State has gone through a winter of self-cultivation, the morale and combat effectiveness of the soldiers have recovered to a certain extent, but it is foreseeable that this alone is still not enough for the Wei State to defeat the Zhao State.

Thinking of this, Duan Ganzi quickly said to Zhao Dan: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, why not end the previous peace talks with Chu as soon as possible."

Because it was intended to be a show before, although Chu State had already sent an envoy for peace talks, Wei Wangyu actually did not take this envoy seriously, but left him in Taoyi City for a whole winter .

I heard that this envoy from the state of Chu was living in a miserable life. Because the officials of the state of Wei refused to pay, the envoy from the state of Chu even had to pay out of his own pocket to feed the entire delegation of the state of Chu.

Of course, the embarrassment belongs to the embarrassment, but Duan Ganzi solved it. As long as Wei Wangyu is willing to talk about peace, then the envoy of Chu State will still kneel down and be grateful to Wei Wangyu.

In today's state of Chu, famine has already begun!

The reason for this is naturally because Chu State has suffered wars for many years, and they still lost battles. A large number of people died because of the defeat, and the fields were barren. Fleeing away from home, Chu's harvest last year suddenly dropped sharply, which eventually triggered a famine.

The famine is very scary. Once there is a famine, it means the emergence of refugees. There were large-scale refugee rebellions in Chu State back then, and even occupied several states and counties in Chu State.

It can be said that if the state of Chu cannot find a way to solve this problem quickly after the refugees appear, then the chaos in the state of Chu can be expected!

Therefore, even if Wei Wangyu has left the envoy of Chu State for so long, as long as Wei Wangyu wants peace talks, then the people of Chu State must also talk!

Wei Wangyu let out a hey, with an incomparably tangled expression on his face, before he said after a long time: "It's not easy for me to have such a good opportunity to occupy a large area of ​​Chu State. To Zhao Dan Xiaoer's obstruction!"

Wei Wangyu's tone was full of hatred.

It was Wei Wangyu's original plan to capture Jiujiang and Kuaiji and revive Wei, but it is clear that this plan is no longer feasible.

If this plan is to be realized, Wei State is likely to usher in a war with Zhao State!This is absolutely unbearable for the current Wei Wangyu.

Duan Ganzi twitched his cheeks slightly, and hurriedly said: "You don't have to be like this. Anyway, Jiujiang County is already in your hands. As long as you manage it well, you may not be able to find opportunities to compete with Zhao Guo in the future!"

Wei Wangyu slammed his fist on the table and said angrily: "One day, I will make Zhao Dan and Zhao Guo pay for this! By the way, how is the connection with Qin?"

Duan Ganzi hurriedly said: "According to the king's instructions, I have secretly connected with the King of Qin, but Qin has just encountered a civil strife, and both Lord Wu'an and Lord Yangquan died because of this, I am afraid that they will not use foreign troops for a while. .”

"You don't know how to use troops abroad?" Wei Wangyu snorted, and said: "It's just right, I don't want to use troops abroad anymore, come here, call the Chu State envoy into the palace, I have something to say to him!"

Chapter 676 The State of Chu in Internal and External Distress (Part [-])

rest city.

With the arrival of spring, everything recovers, but the temporary capital of Chu State does not seem to have any signs of recovery.

On the mottled city wall, there are cracks smashed by trebuchets everywhere. Some cracks look extremely shocking, giving people the illusion that the city wall will crack and collapse at any time.

The temporary palace of Chu State is in the center of Xicheng.

It is a bit reluctant to say that it is the palace, because this is actually the mansion of the city guard of Xicheng before, and then the King Yuan of Chu who was retreated here used it as a temporary place to stay.

Ever since Chencheng was breached by Zhao Jun in the last battle, Chu Wangyuan had a great distrust of Chencheng's defense.

It was precisely because of this sense of distrust that after learning of the dispatch of the Han-Wei coalition forces, King Yuan of Chu had no time to think about it, and immediately made the decision to withdraw from Chencheng to the south.

From a geographical point of view, Chencheng is located in the northernmost part of Chu State, and it is on the border between Chu and Wei. It is actually relatively unfavorable to implement defense.

Judging from the results of this war so far, the retreat of King Yuan of Chu caused the hearts of the soldiers and people of Chu to fluctuate, and a large amount of land in the north of Chu fell into the hands of Han and Wei.

In addition, the Chu army did not escape to the cheapest in the subsequent decisive battle with the Han-Wei coalition forces, and could only defeat Xicheng in the end.

It has to be said that this decision does not seem to be so satisfactory.

Fortunately, after retreating to Xicheng, the Chu army finally woke up like a dream, and firmly defended here, not allowing the Koreans to break through here, which also prevented the Koreans from continuing to go south.

When the Koreans agreed to Zhao's request, negotiated peace with Chu and withdrew their troops, the place slowly regained its vitality.
