Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Several important ministers of the Zhao State on the side also had different expressions when they heard the words, Lian Po couldn't help but asked: "Your Majesty, there is one thing that I don't understand, isn't Your Majesty going to destroy the Kingdom of Wei in this battle? Why do you want to leave Crown Prince Wei alone?" life?"

Just from Zhao Dan's joy when he heard that Prince Zeng was alive, it can be seen that Zhao Dan will definitely not kill Prince Zeng.

Zhao Dan smiled and said: "What the general said is true, I am indeed going to destroy the Wei State, but the demise of the Wei State does not mean that Prince Zeng must be decapitated."

In fact, the destruction of a country in this era, especially when the last monarch of a great country is destroyed, is more dignified.

Among other things, for example, later generations generally believe that the division of the three families into the Jin Dynasty was the starting point of the Warring States Period, but when the three families of Wei, Zhao and Han were officially canonized by the King of Zhou as princes in 403 BC, did the Jin Kingdom perish?

Actually not.

In fact, the state of Jin still existed after the division of Jin among the three families, but the monarch of the state of Jin was exiled from the capital of Quwo, and only kept a little bit of insignificant fiefdom.

It was not until 54 years later, in 349 BC, that the three families of Wei, Zhao, and Han finally divided up the last bit of land in the Jin State, and abolished Jin Jinggong as a commoner. Only then did the Jin State officially declare its end of life and go to bed, officially dying.

This approach seems to be a bit sloppy, giving Jin the possibility and opportunity to counterattack, but it actually has its benefits.

After all, the Jin State at that time was still a nominal monarch, occupying the righteousness, and there were still some people who were willing to follow the Jin State.

Therefore, if the three families of Wei, Zhao, and Han did not kill the monarch of Jin, it would give reassurance to those courtiers who were willing to follow Jin, knowing that these three families would not kill them all, naturally they would stop fighting the three families to the end.

After a few decades, the prestige of the Jin State has long since disappeared, and all the courtiers loyal to the Jin State have died. If the Jin State is destroyed at this time, there will be no more splashes.

Zhao Dan is also planning to use this method now. He plans to confer the city of Anyi in Hedong County thousands of miles away to Prince Zeng, the future King of Wei, and then annex all other Wei lands.

In this case, although Wei State still exists in name, it is actually destroyed like Jin State back then.

Some people say, isn't this the f*ck to be an XX and still set up a memorial archway?

That's true, who made people in this world really eat this kind of thing?

If you don't believe me, let's look at another negative example. This negative example is none other than Qin Shihuang, who is known as the eternal emperor in history.

How did Qin Shihuang treat his defeated monarchs of the six kingdoms?

Zhao Wangqian was moved to Fangling, lived in a thatched hut, and starved to death.

Wei Wang pretended to surrender and was killed.

The king of Chu was captured, accused of regicide, and disappeared mysteriously.

Yan Wangxi was captured and disappeared mysteriously.

Qi Wangjian was exiled and starved to death.

Han Wangan was killed because of his involvement in the rebellion.

All the monarchs of the six countries died badly.

This led to one point, that is, after the death of Qin Shihuang, the old nobles of the six countries launched an extremely swift and super counterattack almost immediately. In just a few years, the entire east of Hangu Pass in Qin State was full of rebellions. Among them, Xiang Yu, an unworldly hero from the old nobles of the six countries, finally ruined the short-lived Qin Dynasty single-handedly.

After Zhao Dan summed up this experience with history as a mirror, he felt that killing and Huairou actually had their own advantages and disadvantages, but considering the current situation Zhao Guo was facing, Huairou was naturally better.

Among other things, if all the royal family of Wei were wiped out, which of the other five countries would dare to surrender to Zhao?It must be a deadly battle to the end, with a lot of unnecessary damage out of thin air.

Conversely, as long as these monarchs have all surrendered, how to deal with them is not a matter of Zhao Dan's words?

Of course, Zhao Dan was not going to explain these things to Lian Po. Lian Po saw Zhao Dan's confident appearance, and Yu Xin winked at him, so naturally he would not continue to ask.

So, the next day, Handan City immediately drafted a notice to announce to the world, that is, Zhao Wang was ordered by heaven to crusade against Duan Ganzi, a rebellious official, and now it's done. Thanks to CCT, it's not right, it's thanks to all countries. Strong support, we will see you next time.

Two days later, Suiyang city also issued a notice drafted in the name of the crown prince of Wei, first of all, it thanked the king of Zhao and the righteous teachers of the princes for helping Wei to get rid of such a scourge as Ganzi Duan, Then he gave an order to all the officials in the state of Wei that they must immediately put down their weapons and accept the entry of the Six-Nation Allied Forces, otherwise it would be regarded as a rebellion, and Prince Wei would request Zhao Jun, the leader of the Six-Nation Allied Forces, to destroy the rebels.

Then of course Handan of Zhao State issued another notice saying that at the request of Prince Wei, the Zhao army would be stationed in Wei State until all rebellions in Wei State were eliminated.

By this time, the entire continent has actually understood Zhao Guo's intentions.

"This King Zhao wants to annex the State of Wei!" The kings said to their ministers openly and secretly.

In fact, this is also the result Zhao Dan wanted. After all, things like the archway are only used to coax the common people below, and they cannot be hidden from other princes.

But Zhao Dan is also full of confidence now. After all, he has two allies, Han Chu, in his hands, which is not empty at all!

According to the prior agreement of the Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Han and Chu, all the land that Zhao State deserved has been taken, unless South Korea and Chu State are willing to give their own land to Wei State to establish the country, otherwise Wei State's existence in name only has become a foregone conclusion!

Sure enough, after these announcements, most of the city guards and county magistrates of the Wei State joined Suiyang City one after another, and the Zhao State also began to send a large number of troops to these attached cities.

After half a month, except for Shouchun and a small part of land north of the Huaihe River, the entire Wei State has been included in Zhao State's territory.

Tian Chong, the general of Wei State in Shouchun, is also a bloody person. He did not surrender, but announced to the world that Zhao Guoren had kidnapped Prince Zeng and wanted to annex Wei State, so unless Zhao Jun completely withdraws from the land in Wei State Otherwise, Tian Chong will lead the [-] soldiers under his command to fight Zhao Guo until the last moment!

For Tian Chong's behavior, Zhao Dan felt very great from the bottom of his heart, and then gave the order.

"Order Lecheng's troops to go south from Suiyang and destroy Tian Chong!"

Three days later, under the leadership of Le Cheng, the main force of the [-] Zhao army marched south from Suiyang City, and went straight to Shouchun, the last big city of Wei State.

The ambitious kings and ministers of the State of Zhao are going to use the fall of Shouchun City to announce the official opening of the battle for the unification of the State of Zhao!

Chapter 768 The Third Attack on the Zhao Alliance (Supplement [-])

Xinzheng.

Han Wangran took the high position, looked at the envoy of Qin State with great interest, and said with a smile: "I never thought that Mr. Gang Cheng would do such a lobbying thing in his position as a royal censor. It is really surprising."

The envoy of the State of Qin sitting in front of Han Wangran was none other than Cai Ze, the censor of the State of Qin.

Cai Ze smiled and said: "My lord, since Cai Ze is a subject, no matter what position he is in, it is only natural for him to share the worries of my king."

Han Wangran praised: "This statement is reasonable. As a king, what I hope to use most is a loyal courtier like Mr. Gang Cheng!" When he came back, he said to Cai Ze, "I don't know why Gang Chengjun came here today?"

Cai Ze said seriously: "I came here today to understand the disaster of Korea's destruction!"

As soon as Cai Ze finished speaking, the expressions of the three Korean monarchs and ministers in the hall changed.

Han Wangran quickly came back to his senses, and looked at Cai Ze in front of him with great interest: "I can't imagine that with Mr. Gang Cheng's current status, he would actually make such a lobbyist speech?"

Cai Ze shook his head solemnly and said, "Your Majesty's words are wrong. Cai Ze's words come from the heart."

The smile on Han Wangran's face disappeared.

After a long while, the Korean king spoke again: "I also ask Mr. Gang Cheng to enlighten me."

Judging from Han Wangran's tone, if Cai Ze can't say one, two, three, four, then Han Wangran will definitely ask him to leave.

After all, all monarchs have tempers, and it is a high-risk job to act aggressively in front of any monarch.

Besides, South Korea now has no reason to be afraid of Qin. If you don’t accept it, you can single it out. Anyway, if you can’t beat you, Qin, I will call Brother Zhao to beat you together. Let’s see if you accept it?
