Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

After a while, someone gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, anyway, the Queen Mother doesn't trust us, so why should we die for her?"

"That's right, that's exactly the reason!"

"I have also decided to abandon Yan and vote for Zhao!"

Everyone rushed to make a decision, and then said: "Cai Qing, since this is the case, then it is up to Rulai to contact Zhao Guoren secretly."

Cai Ze chuckled, his small eyes twinkled brightly, and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

Chapters 8, [-] and [-] countries waiting and watching (second update)

In fact, what Lejian himself didn't know was that there was no need to rule out any messengers at all.

Because on the second day after Zhao Dan was assassinated, a call had already been sent to the world from Handan.

In this report, I informed the monarchs of other vassal states in the world that Yan State dared to assassinate Zhao Dan in the name of an envoy, so from today Yan State is Zhao State's mortal enemy, Zhao State will send a large army The country of Yan was completely flattened, and any country that dared to help the country of Yan would become the sworn enemy of the country of Zhao and enjoy the same "treatment" as the country of Yan.

This statement was sent to the other princes in the shortest time at the speed of eight hundred miles from all over the country of Zhao. Regarding this domineering statement from Zhao Dan, the other princes all expressed their opinions. There are different opinions.

In Xianyang City, Qin Wangchu slapped the table in front of him fiercely, and said to Lu Buwei in front of him: "This Zhao Wang is getting more and more excessive now, how dare he speak to the widow in such a tone, Do you really think that the widow is his subject?"

After being furious for a while, Qin Wangchu couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Oh, why did you say that Yan Guo's assassination failed this time?"

Obviously, from Qin Wangchu's personal point of view, he very much hoped that Yan's assassination would be successful this time.

In fact, Qin Wangchu felt that the other four monarchs should also think the same way as himself.

Sitting opposite Qin Wangchu is Lu Buwei. After learning that Zhao Dan was assassinated, Lu Buwei was also shocked. After repeated confirmation that Zhao Dan was fine, he was relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. It is a sign of discouragement due to excessive disappointment.

After listening to Qin Wangchu's words, Lu Buwei said to Qin Wangchu with a wry smile: "My lord, this country of Yan is really unreasonable now, and assassinating the king of a country should be put an end to at any time." Yes, otherwise, if such a move becomes popular, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of not only King Zhao, but also the king."

Qin Wangchu sneered, and said: "If you can really kill Zhao Wang, then I really don't mind staying in the palace. I don't care about assassination or not. But now Yan Guo Being attacked by the State of Zhao, if I don’t send troops, I’m afraid Yan State will really perish, what does Wu Chengjun think I should do now?”

Cai Ze did not appear here. In fact, Cai Ze had not appeared in front of Qin Wangchu for a long time.

Lu Buwei thought for a while, and said to Qin King Chu in front of him: "My lord, the loss caused to Daqin in the battle of Suiyang City last year was too serious. I think that Daqin can only rest and recuperate now, and it is really inappropriate to act rashly." Swordsman."

After a pause, Lu Buwei said again: "Also, don't forget, my lord, even if Daqin really has the ability to help Yan, how should he deal with Li Mu's going south?"

If it is said that at the beginning Qin Wangchu heard Lu Buwei's words, his face was somewhat dissatisfied, then after the name Li Mu appeared in Lu Buwei's mouth, Qin Wangchu's face suddenly changed, and the whole person instantly Like a frost-beaten eggplant, it wilted all of a sudden.

After being silent for a while, Qin Wangchu let out a listless sigh, and said, "Wu Chengjun, of course I know the truth of what you said, but the question is, are you just watching Yan Guo being destroyed by Zhao Guo?" ? If Yan State is really destroyed by Zhao State, then wouldn’t Zhao State’s power become stronger again?"

Lu Buwei hurriedly comforted Qin King Chu and said, "My lord, as long as Guanzhong is still there, Daqin is still qualified to compete for world hegemony. What's more, Bashu has been developed extremely smoothly in recent years, and its grain production has increased year after year. It can become Daqin's super granary within ten years at most. With Guanzhong and Bashu in hand, so what if all the kingdoms of the world are wiped out? I can guarantee that in at most ten years, a Great Qin that is far stronger than before will reappear in the hands of the king!"

Qin Wangchu looked at the impassioned Lu Buwei, but he didn't take Lu Buwei's words too seriously in his heart. After all, ten years is too long.

So the King of Qin just sighed softly and said, "I hope everything will be as Wu Chengjun said."

South Korea, Xinzheng.

After learning the news that the Yan people had failed in the assassination, Han Wangran uncharacteristically laughed in front of his two ministers.

You must know that in these days, Han Wangran has always been very worried that Zhao Guo will choose him as the target of attack. He did not expect that the people of Yan Guo would come forward to take over the pot. How can this not make Han Wangran overjoyed? .

The two ministers, Jin Fu and Feng Ting, who were sitting on the left and right sides of Han Wangran's lower head, also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news.

To be honest, the two ministers felt that Han Wangran's troubles were entirely self-inflicted.

Speaking of it, Han Wangran is actually very stingy. He thinks he can persuade Queen Zhao Han Wan from South Korea to blow the pillow wind, so South Korea only ceded some bargaining chips that are not insignificant compared to other countries. .

In the end, things backfired. Han Wan, the Queen of Zhao, firmly rejected Han Wangran's request for intercession. Then Han Wangran was completely stupid. Zhao Guo's next attack target.

As for the two South Korean ministers, Feng Ting and Jin Yan, they proposed to cede some more territory to Zhao Guo as a remedy, but at this time Han Wangran felt that if he did this, it would be difficult for him to save face, so he refused. up.

Facing Han Wangran's mentality, Feng Ting and Jin Fu were also speechless. They felt that South Korea might be the next target of Zhao Guo's attack, and they even made a lot of preparations secretly.

But fortunately, after the matter of Yan State came out, everyone knew that the target of Zhao State must be Yan State, and it should not use troops against other countries for the time being.

Feng Ting coughed and said to Han Wangran: "Although the king said so, once the Yan State is destroyed, then the Zhao State may still go south at any time. I feel that maybe we should find a way to help the Yan State. At least We can't let Zhao people's attack on Yan go too smoothly."

What Feng Ting never expected was that after he said these words, he was reprimanded by Han Wangran.

"Lord Huayang, Lord Huayang, it is easy for you to say the words of helping the country of Yan. Then tell me, how are you going to help the country of Yan now? The people of the country of Yan are simply asking for their own destruction. And if Zhao Guo is angered, wouldn't he become Zhao Guo's sworn enemy? I will definitely not do this!"

Han Wangran's rebuke made Feng Ting's face extremely gloomy, but he couldn't make any refutation at all. He was really speechless for his own king's practice of dying a friend without dying.

Seeing this, another important South Korean minister, Jin Fu, hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty, Mr. Huayang is also very loyal to the country, please give me a lesson."

Han Wangran looked at Feng Ting's stinky face and felt very uncomfortable. He sneered and said, "Loyalty to the country? If this is the case, then who was leading the widows in Shangdang County at that time?" What about the state of Zhao, where the soldiers and civilians of Shangdang County defected?"

As soon as these words came out, Feng Ting felt as if he had been hit hard, and his face suddenly turned pale.

After a while, Feng Ting stood up from his seat, went to Han Wangran and knelt down, and said to Han Wangran in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I am old and dull, and I am not good enough to take on the great responsibility. I hereby request you to resign from the position of Xiangbang." , go home for the elderly.”

Jin Yan was shocked when he saw this, and immediately said: "You must not, Mr. Huayang!"

However, Han Wangran was in a fit of anger at this moment, Feng Ting's behavior not only did not calm Han Wangran, but made Han Wangran feel that he was threatening him, but it aggravated Han Wangran's anger.

So Han Wangran sneered and said, "If that's the case, then the widow will agree!"

The next day, Han Wangran issued an order to accept the resignation of Feng Ting, the former prime minister of Huayang, and ordered the former Korean general Jin Yi to take over Feng Ting's position as prime minister.

Qi State, Linzi City.

After getting the news, Qi Wangjian also summoned his Xiangbang Housheng and began to discuss this matter.

Qi Wangjian said worriedly: "Hou Qing, Hou Qing, the country of Yan has provoked the country of Zhao, now it's all right, the people of the country of Zhao will concentrate their forces to attack the country of Yan. You said that after the king of Zhao finishes defeating the country of Yan, he will Wouldn't you choose Qi Guo, who is a widow, as your next target?"

Speaking of this, Qi Wangjian's face became more and more helpless, and he couldn't help sighing, and said: "If I knew this, I shouldn't be against Zhao Guo at the beginning!"

Hou Sheng looked at Qi Wangjian's appearance, and secretly complained in his heart, thinking that his own great king still couldn't see the situation clearly at this time.

Even if Qi State does not fight against Zhao State, as long as Zhao State becomes stronger, it will definitely attack other countries including Qi State, so it is meaningless to say that Qi Wangjian’s regretful words are in advance. .

But of course it is impossible for Hou Sheng to slap Qi Wangjian in the face directly in public, so he just persuaded Qi Wangjian: "My lord, for the current plan, we can only secretly help the country of Yan, so that the people of the country of Yan will not perish too much." It was early, as long as the Yan State is not destroyed, the people of Zhao State will not mobilize their troops to other places for a day, and Qi State can ensure safety."

Qi Wangjian pondered for a moment and said, "Can't we let other countries rescue Yan Kingdom together?"

Hou Sheng was taken aback when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, don't forget that in the Battle of Suiyang City last year, the other coalition forces suffered heavy losses. Who else has enough troops to help the country of Yan? And if Your Majesty sends troops to help the country of Yan, wouldn't it be just in response to what King Zhao said in his call, and become Zhao's mortal enemy?"

Qi Wangjian's face became even more bitter when he heard the words, and he sighed after a long time, and said: "In this case, let's ship more supplies from the sea to the people of Yan, as for the others, we can only let the people of Yan take care of themselves. Good luck."

Due to the distance, the monarch and ministers of the Chu Kingdom who were far away in Yingdu were the last to hear the news.

After learning the news, Chu Wangyuan also immediately summoned Jingyang and Huang Xie, and began to discuss countermeasures.

"You two Qing families, now that Yan State has offended King Zhao, and Zhao State is preparing for the Northern Expedition to destroy Yan State, should I take any action?"
