Chapter 551 551.Wu Qi's Strategic Intent
"Your Majesty, we have now obtained the Jingbei region, and we must focus on developing there, so as to get rid of our geographical predicament in South Korea as soon as possible!" At this time, Shen Buxian said to King Han Lie.
King Han Lie nodded: "Xiangguo is right, only by getting rid of the predicament caused by geography can my South Korea become a strong country in the true sense!" ”
"At the beginning, because of the narrow geography, the hinterland on all sides, and the powerful countries on all sides, and there was no good strategic depth, now we have Jingbei, all of this is gone, as long as we develop the focus to Jingbei and defeat the overlord of the Central Plains Wei first, then it will be the day when we Korea will be dominant!" King Han Lie said to everyone.
Although Wei is not the overlord of the empire, it is still the overlord of the three kingdoms of the Central Plains, the foundation of Wei is there, although the hegemony of Wei is short, but it is not built in a day, this is the accumulation of many years, the wisdom of the monarch, and finally realized it in King Wu of Wei.
Although the hegemony has fallen, there is still a hundred years of precipitation, which is incomparable between Han and Zhao, although Han and Zhao are not weak countries, otherwise it is impossible to stand out among many vassal states, let alone carve up the Jin State.
But compared to Wei, which occupied the core area of the Central Plains, it was far behind, and after Korea obtained the territory of Chu, Chu also designed a strategic road for Korea in disguise.
That is, South Korea wants to attack the Wei State, not to mention that it can defeat the Wei State, but at least it will make the Wei State unable to cultivate intact.
Moreover, Wu Qi set up a strategy for the Chu State, that is, to befriend Han Zhao and use them to suppress the Wei State, and the main target of the Chu State was the Qin State, suppressing the Qin State, so that it could not advance westward again for a short time.
As long as this strategy is realized, the day when Chu defeats Qin, the three Central Plains will be weakened due to internal friction, and at that time, Chu can not worry about the west, and Enron can enter the Central Plains.
Wu Qi believed that it was impossible for the three kingdoms of the Central Plains to be unified quickly, and that Wei had the ability and opportunity to unify at the beginning, but when Qi was out, King Wei Hui's ability was not enough, and the foundation laid by King Wu of Wei was wasted.
And now that Wei has experienced many wars, the position of overlord has fallen, although it can still dominate in the Central Plains, but it no longer has the ability to unify the three Jins.
And if Wei wants to unify the Three Jins, it needs long-term stable development, and when Wei recovers its national strength, it will have a chance, and how can Korea and Zhao give him this opportunity?
South Korea got Jingbei, and the state of Chu gave it the strength to rise, and King Han Lie was not a person who did not want to make progress, so South Korea would inevitably make some moves in the Central Plains.
For South Korea, the only place for his expansion is Wei, and the expansion of Qin is a place where birds don't, and there is no meaning for expansion, and the north is a grassland, and there is no significance for Korea to expand.
As for the State of Chu, they have a defense line to defend against the State of Chu in Jingbei, but this line of defense will not allow them to attack the State of Chu easily, and with their national strength, how dare they fight the State of Chu alone?
Therefore, the only place for South Korea to expand is Wei State, and South Korea's expansion road will not challenge Wei State like a fool, but will definitely win over Zhao State as an ally.
Zhao and Wei were originally iron-blooded allies, and during the reign of King Wu of Wei, the relationship between Wei and Zhao was very good, but in the period of King Wei Hui, a series of wrong means of King Wei Hui made Wei and Zhao two hostile countries.
It is also an undying hostile country, although short-term interests can allow the two countries to join forces, but when the alliance is over, it will be a life-and-death battle.
For Wei, they hate Zhao, because in the eyes of many people in Wei, it was Zhao who pulled Wei down from hegemony, of course, the high-level people all knew that it was Qi that used strategy to pit Wei, but ordinary people, they think that this is done by Zhao.
If there had not been a long war against Zhao, how could Wei have fallen from hegemony? These people didn't think about it, why did Wei go to war with Zhao? Why did he fall into a protracted war in the war with Zhao State.
This is what they didn't think, so they were just middle-level people in the Wei State, and for the Zhao State, they also hated the Wei State.
Wei and Zhao alliance for many years, the two sides are blood alliance, brotherly alliance, Zhao has paid a lot for Wei, Wei has problems, Zhao will do his best to help, but Wei Hui King for his own selfish interests, to invade Zhao.
made the already very poor Zhao State even poorer, although it ended with the victory of the Zhao State, but the manpower and resources consumed by the Zhao State were lost in vain.
And in the eyes of the people of Zhao, the heart of Wei is not dead, and if you want to protect yourself, you must first kill the other party, so that the other party does not have the ability to defeat you.
Therefore, it is not said that the Wei State has the heart to die Zhao, but the Zhao State has the heart to die Wei.
For South Korea, Zhao is a good ally, Zhao wants to kill Wei, and South Korea is also Wei on the same aggressive line, so these two countries can become a short-lived alliance.
Of course, when negotiating peace with the Chu State, Han Shijie also learned some of the Chu State's plans from Wu Qi, they did not want to be enemies of the Central Plains State, but wanted to fight to the death with the Qin State.
Of course, Han Shijie is not a politician, just a military strategist, he doesn't understand this deep thing, of course he is not stupid, he knows that Chu Guo's words can't be wholehearted, but he thinks Chu Guo wants to be friendly with South Korea.
Of course, he felt that Chu State's cession of Jingbei was actually a statement, a statement that he wanted to make peace with South Korea, otherwise, he would not have cedered this place at all.
As long as Wu Qi wants to attack the South Korean army to the death, it will be difficult for Han Shijie to support it, he believes that Wu Qi also knows this, but he did not do it, and gave South Korea a chance to develop.
This is what Han Shijie thinks, this is the best proof that Chu wants to make friends with South Korea.
Wu Qi is not only a profound military strategist, he is also a profound politician, strategist, before the Chu State marched into the Central Plains, they were all one enemy three, one to fight three.
But Wu Qi thought that this was a very stupid method, although the state of Chu was almost broken through and entered several times, it was because the generals who led the state of Chu, the king of Chu, were all very powerful figures.
But there can't always be a great general, and there won't always be a great king of Chu, but if there is no great king of Chu and no great general, then how to march into the Central Plains?
You can't give up this century-old strategic goal set by the Chu State, right?
Therefore, Wu Qi believes that even if the Chu State does not have a powerful general and king, but has the strong national strength of the Chu State, then he can break it one by one, so as to achieve the hegemony of the Central Plains and complete the hegemony of the Chu State again.
Therefore, Wu Qi said that forming an alliance with Zhao was not the next policy, because this was a complete destruction of the Central Plains Sanjin Alliance, and in the same way, this ceded Jingbei to South Korea, which also had the intention of winning over South Korea.
