Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

After thinking for a while, Zhao Dan said again: "Immediately send an order to Jinyang and Li Mu, and ask them to organize the county soldiers to go south to support Shangdang and Hedong County! Wait, Li Mu is in Shuofang, it is too far away. Sheriff of the county, use the fastest speed!"

This time, Zhao Dan was very clear in his heart, since Han Guo and Wei Guo both betrayed Zhao Guo, then the whole thing is already very serious.

If you don't deal with it with all your strength, I'm afraid it will be very difficult to pass this level.

Zhao Dan's tone was serious, and a frightening light flickered in his eyes: "This kid Han Wangran is actually playing Infernal Affairs with the widow? I don't believe it. Is it possible that he can laugh until the end with just a mere South Korea!"

Chapter 695 Each has its own plan (fourth change)

As soon as Zhao Dan said these words, everyone knew that Zhao Dan was really angry.

Although he already knew that he might be betrayed at any time in this era, but when Zhao Dan actually encountered all this, he still felt very uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.

South Korea must learn a hard lesson!

However, Zhao Dan knew very well that the most important thing now was to keep Shangdang County.

As long as Shangdang County, especially the Beishangdang Basin, is not lost, then Zhao's war situation is actually not that bad.

The Qin people in the west did not know why, although they had already mobilized their troops and prepared their posture, they did not start a war with Zhao for a long time.

In the southeast direction, Pang Nuan already had a clear upper hand against the Wei people, and it seemed that it was only a matter of time before he won.

In the eastern battlefield, although Kuang Liang of Qi State was superior in number, he did not make any decent progress under Lian Po's defense. It's better to get up in vain, it's normal to have this result.

As long as he can defend for some time and let Pang Nuan take the lead in opening up the situation and defeating the Wei army, then if the main force of the 15 Zhao army is released, the entire battle situation will immediately move in a direction favorable to Zhao.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Qin people did not intervene.

If the Qin people also start fighting immediately, Zhao will face four opponents at the same time in the southwest, south, southeast, and eastern borders thousands of miles away. The length of the front alone will be enough for Zhao Dan to have a headache.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help complaining secretly in his heart, it would be great if he crossed to Qin, as long as he sticks to a place in the pass.

Tucao can't save Zhao Guoren, so Zhao Dan withdrew his mind after a short moment, and said in a deep voice: "Let's leave the issue of Shangdang County as it is, and wait until there is further progress before making a decision. But now there are other One thing needs to be resolved, now South Korea has betrayed the widow, so what should we do next?"

If the question just now was about military affairs, now the question is about diplomacy.

These officials in front of Zhao Dan may not dare to speak casually on military issues, but when it comes to diplomacy, they can say a lot.

Zhao Sheng was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, why don't you temporarily return some of Qi's land to seek peace with Qi, and then let General Lian Po go back to rescue Shangdang County!"

This is the most commonly used strategy among countries in the Warring States Period to cede territory and seek peace.

Su Shi's father, Su Xun, once criticized the demise of the six kingdoms in Shandong in the "Theory of the Six Kingdoms" because "the six kingdoms are destroyed, the non-army is disadvantageous, the war is not good, and the disadvantage lies in bribing Qin."

It means that the six countries of Shandong are always ceding land and paying compensation to Qin State, making themselves more and more false and Qin State is getting stronger and stronger, and finally it is out of control.

Hearing it this way, it seems that the monarchs of the six kingdoms in Shandong are as stupid as pigs, and the courtiers are all stupid, and none of them can see the harm of doing so.

This obviously regards all the monarchs and ministers of the six countries in the middle and late Warring States period as mentally retarded.

In fact, when it comes to things like ceding land and seeking peace, Qin has actually done a lot.

Then why did the Six Kingdoms "ced the land and bribe Qin", and no one scolded Qin for ceding the land?

On the one hand, this is because when Su Xun wrote this article, it was to allude to the old coins of the Liao Dynasty and Xixia Dynasty at that time. The ceding of the country is actually quite useful.

For example, when Kuangzhang broke through Hangu Pass decades ago, Qin State successfully took advantage of Qi State's psychology and returned South Korea's Wu Sui and Wei Guofeng's mausoleum in exchange for the retreat of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms led by Kuangzhang.

For another example, in 287 BC, when the Five Kingdoms joined forces to attack Qin for the third time, in order to destroy the Five Kingdoms Alliance, Qin Wangji returned Wen, Zhi, and Gaoping to Wei, and Wang Gong and Fu Yue to Zhao. , So this time the five-nation alliance immediately declared its disintegration.

From this point of view, in fact, it is not unacceptable for Zhao State to temporarily return some land to Qi State. Anyway, you can learn from Qin State and fight back later.

Zhao Dan pondered for a moment, then said: "Is this plan sure to succeed?"

The person who answered Zhao Dan was Zheng Zhu, a great traveler: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister of Qi State has always been greedy for money. If you can order the envoy to bribe him with a lot of gold and treasures, plus the matter of land cession, you should be very sure that you can persuade Qi State to truce. .”

Zhao Dan nodded slowly and said, "Very good. Is there any other plan?"

Although this strategy seemed to work, Zhao Dan decided to put it aside for now.

There is no other reason. As a time traveler, a patriot who has seen in history textbooks and many TV movies how modern China was plundered by great powers, Zhao Dan is against this behavior of cede land and seek peace from the bottom of his heart. .

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help showing disappointment on his face, but he didn't dare to refute.

It was Li Bo who came up with the next idea: "Your Majesty, I think that we should send envoys to Chu State now, ordering the King of Chu to send troops to contain Han Wei immediately. If Han Wei's backyard is on fire, we must not use troops against Zhao State unscrupulously. It should relieve a lot of stress.”

Zhao Dan nodded and said: "Li Qing's plan is good. After the meeting is over, Zheng Qing remembers to send envoys to Chu State quickly, urge Chu Wang Yuan well, and tell him that if the widow is defeated this time, then he will be sent to the Chu State." The one who was destroyed once and divided up is his Chu country!"

Zhao Dan's tone was a bit unhappy, and there was no other reason, mainly because the war started for almost half a month now, Zhao Guodu and Wei Qi were at full-scale war, but the Chu people were still dawdling. The signs of sending troops obviously mean that they want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight to pick up cheap ones.

After all, for the state of Chu, the four countries of Han, Wei, Zhao, and Qi attacked the state of Chu together last time, and they were all out-and-out enemies.

Now that the enemies are turning against each other and fighting lively, the Chu people are naturally happy to watch.

Regarding Chu's behavior, Zhao Dan felt that it was too short-sighted.Han Wei had always been eyeing Chu, and only Zhao could save Chu, and if Zhao lost, Chu would be doomed.

Under such circumstances, the people of Chu State are still pushing back and forth. Isn't it short-sighted?

Zhao Dan suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, is there any news from the country of Yan?"

As early as more than a month ago, Zhao Dan had sent an envoy to Yan Guo, and it stands to reason that he should have received a reply long ago.

But Zhao Dan was a little disappointed by Zheng Zhu's answer: "Your Majesty, according to the latest reply from the envoy, we still haven't been able to see Queen Mother Yan in person. It seems that the Kingdom of Yan is still hesitating."

Zhao Dan snorted, and said: "It seems that the thinking of the Yan State is similar to that of the Chu State. Zheng Qing, you immediately send people to Jidu as quickly as possible, and tell the envoys to stabilize the Yan State. , even if Yan Guo cannot be allowed to join the widow, it is definitely not allowed to let Yan Guo stand on Han Weiqi's side!"

Now Zhao Guo and Zhao Dan have enough enemies, if possible, Zhao Dan naturally does not want to have such one more, otherwise it will really be the enemy of the whole world.

It was at this moment that Yu Xin, who had been silent all this time and had no sense of presence, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan. If it succeeds, I can guarantee that your Majesty will win this battle."

Chapter 696 Undoubtedly Winning Strategies (First Update)

As soon as Yu Xin said this, the ministers present immediately fell silent.

Zhao Sheng looked at Yu Xin in surprise, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Since Lin Xiangru's death, the commoner faction was nominally headed by Lian Po, but Zhao Sheng was very clear in his heart that the real helm of the commoner faction was actually Yu Xin, who was behind Lian Po.

Moreover, after Zhao Bao was promoted from Yu Xin to Si Kou, even Lian Po, who had always been arrogant and had never looked down on anyone except Lin Xiangru, had to treat Yu Xin equally.

It can be said that if you want to defeat the commoner faction, you must first get rid of Yu Xin.

He has been fighting with Yu Xin for several years, and Zhao Sheng knows very well that although Yu Xin sometimes makes some mistakes, he is generally a relatively calm person who makes decisions before acting.

But such a person just now said in front of the king and all the important ministers, "If the king uses my strategy, this battle will undoubtedly be won."
