Chapter 495 495.King Han Lie's Ambition
When King Han Lie heard this, he snorted coldly: "Hurry? When you Chu State, when your Qi State attacked our Central Plains, did you ever think about the speed of peace? ”
This envoy saw that King Han Lie had already made up his mind, and he couldn't say anything, otherwise he might lose his life here.
Originally, Qi Xiaobai just wanted to harass Zhao and create coercion on the Four-Nation Alliance, but he didn't expect Shaohua's Central Army to be in such a predicament, and he Qi Xiaobai had to declare war on the Four-Nation Alliance, and at the same time sent Qi Jiu to lead his legions to Zhao State.
Of course, Qi Xiaobai didn't want to start a complete war with the Four Kingdoms, although he let Qi Jie go to Zhao State, but he didn't attack a city or a pool, but hoped to negotiate diplomatically, and then get room for maneuver.
Of course, if the alliance of the four countries wants to fight the Chu State to the death, it has to destroy the Chu State, or take away half of the Chu State, and the Qi State must intervene by force.
Although Qi Xiaobai wanted to weaken the Chu State, he did not think about completely destroying the Chu State, or destroying the Chu State.
If the state of Chu is destroyed, then who among the princes is under the most pressure? It belongs to the country of Qi.
Now the entire empire, the princes, Qin, Qi, Han, Zhao, Wei, Chu, Song seven princes, and Qin, Han, Zhao, Wei, the Four Nations Alliance, the Song State is absolutely neutral, the Chu State is destroyed, or abolished, then the Qi State has become the target of the Four Nations Alliance.
Therefore, the state of Chu can be weakened, but it must not be destroyed, he has to resist the damage for the state of Qi, of course, even if the state of Chu is destroyed, it must be destroyed by his state of Qi.
Of course, it can't be destroyed, it can't be completely disabled, and it can't be abolished by the Chu State, and it is acceptable for Qi Xiaobai to break through the Yingdu, but you want to take away half of the Chu State, which Qi Xiaobai does not allow.
If the state of Chu loses half of the country, then among the four kingdoms, Korea and Wei, and even the state of Qin will greatly increase their national strength.
Qin State, Wei State not to mention, these are two old powers, but South Korea, now the commander-in-chief of the Four-Nation Alliance, the country's prestige has risen very high at this time, if the national strength increases greatly, then the pressure on Qi will also be huge.
Although South Korea does not border the State of Qi, South Korea is in the circle of the Central Plains princes, and the Central Plains princes are the same family, and under normal circumstances, they cannot be friends of the Qi State.
Seeing that the four-nation alliance is so close now, it is the honeymoon period, and it is not easy to destroy the four-nation alliance.
Now that the Chu State fought by the Four-Nation Alliance is about to be destroyed, the Qi State, which originally wanted to be a spectator from the wall, has to give up the national policy of isolation and completely enter this war.
Of course, what Qi advocates is to be able to negotiate peacefully, try not to fight by force, Qi Xiaobai and the ministers of the cabinet all believe that at this time, Qi State, resources and territory are already very huge, what to do now is to absorb resources, recuperate, and wait for the army to train almost, in the reserve of materials, it is the time for Qi to move westward.
But the current state of Qi has just been expanded in territory and replenished with resources, but it has not been completely absorbed, and there are still many unstable factors, if war is made to the western vassal states at this time.
If the battle is won, everyone will be happy, but if the fight is weak, the hidden dangers in it may explode at any time, and it may spit out all the things that Qi Guo has obtained over the years.
The princes of the four kingdoms were staring at Qi, and at the same time, Bohai and Donghu in the north were also staring at Qi.
Although the State of Qi has now formed an anti-Xiongnu alliance with Donghu and Bohai, if the State of Qi explodes internally, who dares to guarantee that Donghu and Bohai will not take advantage of the fire to rob?
In addition, the Qi State invaded Goguryeo and Dongyi Island States, as well as the Yan State and the Yue Kingdom, and the Qi State needed to assimilate them, after all, there were many unstable factors in these territories.
Because the territory of Yue and Yan has been occupied for a long time, it has basically been assimilated, and Dongyi Island has been kidnapped to Qi because of their emperor and their god, and has basically become a vassal of Qi.
Goguryeo alone is a destabilizing factor, because they have nomadic blood, natural wildness, and many people are not willing to obey the laws of Qi, so it is difficult to control.
However, fortunately, the troops sent by Qi Jiao, coupled with the migration of a large number of troops from Dongyi Island, could be reluctantly suppressed, and the army composed of Goguryeo people was sent to the Xiongnu front.
This prevented Goguryeo from launching much of a riot, because the young and middle-aged men were all pulled to the front line, and there were a group of women, children, and children in the rear, which did not pose any threat.
However, if a big defeat breaks out in the Qi State, then the people on the Xiongnu front line may fight back and complete the restoration of the country.
Because of this factor, since Qi became the hegemon in the east, it began to engage in isolationism, there were no big moves, all small moves, and the whole country was peaceful, this is mainly because Qi State can't do things, and if it does, the risks it takes are greater than the benefits.
However, now the situation of Chu State has made Qi State have a crisis of cold lips and teeth, and Qi State has to send troops to intervene in the four countries by force.
Although Qi State is very determined, and it seems that he has really gone to fight, Qi State still hopes to have peace talks with the Four-Nation Alliance, and it has nothing to do with the loss of Chu State's interests, but Qi State does not want it, and Chu State is lost in seconds because of this.
However, King Han Lie was very tough, because from here he saw the future of the rise of Korea, as long as he could take a large amount of territory from the Chu State and return it to Han Land, then he had the hope of rising in Korea, getting rid of the situation of weak Korea and becoming a hegemon.
Although people call South Korea Jinhan, one of the three heroes of the Central Plains, but South Korea knows that among these vassal states, his status is higher than that of the Song State, and even inferior to the Song State.
Now that he has become the leader of the four-nation alliance, and he has won the war against Chu, he will be able to obtain a large amount of territory, as long as he gets a large area of territory in Chu, South Korea will have enough territory, military strength, and financial resources can be greatly improved.
Anyone who sits in the position of a monarch, they want to have something to achieve.
In the past, King Han Lie could only attach to Wei and protect Korea because of his national strength, but now that there is an opportunity to become the overlord in front of him, how can he give up King Han Lie?
As long as he succeeds, he will become famous and become the most outstanding king of Korea, and it is more likely to surpass the current overlord Qi and become the new prince overlord of the empire.
After all, people go to high places, and water flows to low places!
