Chapter Fifty-Six: Tempting Qin to Attack Qi
Xiong Huai heard it in a fog, and in the absence of a map, he could only rely on his impression to roughly know that Yiyang was in the western part of Korea, the capital of Korea a long time ago, and very close to Qin.
Yangzhai was the last capital of Korea, and it was closer to the state of Chu.
And the current capital Xinzheng is very close to the capital of Wei, and the two sides are quick to whip up, and it only takes less than a day to kill from their own capital to the other party's capital.
Therefore, just in case, Wei and Han will have heavy troops in the capital.
In the military, the predecessor is also half a bucket of water, not to mention Xionghuai.
Xiong Huai asked, "How does Xianqing think our Chu State should guard against Korea." ”
Zhao Ju replied: "The king, as Weichen Fang just said, South Korea is also wary of the Qin State, in order to prevent the Qin State from falsely attacking the country, so the Han army in Yiyang, South Korea will not all be transferred. The army facing the Yiyang direction of our Chu State is very likely to be a Qin-Han coalition army, and it is mainly based on the Qin State. ”
"But for the army along the way, we Chu don't have to worry, attacking our Chu State from Yiyang is the first line of our Chu State's Fangcheng, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Qin and Han troops are not worried. And the Han army in the direction of Yangzhai is extremely close to Xiangcheng in our Chu State, and it is necessary to send a general to lead the troops to defend. ”
Xiong Huai asked again: "I don't know who can defend Deng Cai and the two places." ”
Zhaoju paused and said: "General Zhaoying, who is familiar with military affairs, if he assists Xiangcheng in defending South Korea, he will definitely make South Korea unable to advance an inch." ”
Xiong Huai hadn't nodded yet, so Yin Jingli said: "The king, the minister has a word, I hope the king will check it." ”
Hearing this, Xiong Huai looked at Jing Li and said, "Ling Yin, please speak." ”
"Great King, although what Gong Yin said is complete, but my Chu State is a big country in the world, so why worry about the attack of Qin State."
"Besides, if today's wish is to attack the Qi State, if my Chu State rashly transfers troops, it will inevitably make the Qin State frightened and Zhao Wei disappointed, and if the Qin State does not send troops to attack Qi, the Qi State will be difficult to be sanctioned, and it will be strong."
"Therefore, Weichen has a foolish opinion, and he can order the general's headquarters to garrison the south of Danshui to guard against the Qin State. And in order to allow Qin to cede Ba and send troops to Qi as soon as possible, our Chu State can transfer the headquarters of Jingcui of the Zhu State and move east to attack the Qi State. ”
Xiong Huai's eyes shrank slightly when he heard this, and Jing Li's words reminded him of the first conversation with Zhaoyang.
At that time, Zhaoyang told that the army of Chu could advance eastward, but only if Qin sent troops to attack Qi. If the Qin State does not send troops, then with the contradictions between Qin and Chu, the Chu State cannot take the lead in transferring troops to the east.
Moreover, the army of Chu drove to the east, whether it was to rescue Qi or attack Qi depended on the situation.
Xiong Huai was silent when he thought of it.
Chen Zhen saw that the King of Chu had not spoken for a long time, thought about it, and came out and said, "King, what Ling Yin and Gong Yin said makes sense.
At present, the main target of the world is the state of Qi. However, Qin's current attitude is unclear, and it must not be guarded against. ”
"Now that we have broken off relations with the Qi State, if the Qin State attacks our Chu State, we will have no reinforcements from other countries. This situation is beneficial to the Qin state and unfavorable to our Chu state. ”
"In the face of this situation, in order to prevent the Qin State from getting an excuse to attack our Chu State, Weichen thought that he could transfer the headquarters of the Zhu State to the east."
"However, in order to prevent the Qin State from taking the opportunity to sneak attack and unite with Korea to attack us, the army under the Zhu State cannot be directly transferred to the border of the Qi State, but should be stationed at the border of the Wei State under the banner of supporting the Wei State, so as to shock Korea."
"If South Korea conspires with Qin to send troops, then immediately transfer the headquarters of the Zhu State to attack Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea, on the one hand, to attract Wei to rescue Zhao and mobilize the Korean army, and on the other hand, force South Korea to ask for help from Qin, or Qin State can divide troops to reduce the pressure from other directions."
Xiong Huai glanced at Chen Zhen in surprise, but he didn't expect that Chen Zhen, who had never known much about military affairs, would be able to speak the truth today.
Chen Zhen didn't finish speaking, and continued: "Great King, it is the best policy for us to defend the state of Qin in Chu, and it is the best policy to drive the state of Qin to attack the state of Qi. The reason why Qin did not attack Qi for a long time was because of the difficulty and benefits of attacking Qi. ”
"If it is said that the Zhu State's eastern attack on Qi has reduced the difficulty of the Qin State's attack on Qi, then what our Chu State has to do next is to expand the harvest of the Qin State's attack on Qi."
Xiong Huai's eyes lit up, and he said: "Please Xianqing explain in detail, if our Chu State expands the Qin State to attack the Qi State, we will get gains." ”
"Great King, the Qin State wants to attack the Qi State, it is nothing more than two reasons, one is the strength of the Qi State, which makes the Qin State also feel afraid, ten years ago Qin and Chu attacked Qi, our Chu State and the main force of the Qi State battle, and the Chu State has the advantage. However, the main force of Qin faced the remaining remnants of Qi and was still defeated by Kuang Zhang, so Qin sued Qi for peace. ”
"Therefore, revenge is an important reason for Qin's attack."
"Second, it is because Zhao wants to establish the grandson of the King of Qin as the King of Yan. Once Gongzi ascended to the throne of Yan, then the Qin state gained the support of a great power in the east. Moreover, this big country is allied with South Korea, and the relationship with Zhao is also very good, once Yan is thrown into the arms of Qin, then as long as Gongzi is in power, Qin will no longer be in danger of being besieged by the six countries. ”
If it is said that the Qin State is not afraid of being jointly targeted by the other six countries, this is actually a swollen face and a fat man.
The last time the Six Kingdoms joined forces, it was actually the Five Kingdoms that invaded Qin.
As the leader of the alliance, the king of Chu can only command other countries, but he retains his strength.
The monarch of the Yan State was dreaming of becoming a contemporary Yao Shun at that time, and he didn't really think about attacking the Qin State at all, but because of Su Qin's face, he showed his face, and he didn't work hard.
What's more, during the merger, Su Qin, the leader of the Qi state, was accidentally stabbed to death, which led to the extremely disadvantageous position of the Qi state and the Chu state when they competed for the leader of the alliance. Then under the activities of Gongsun Yan, the king of Chu served as the leader of the alliance, and the result was that the Qi State was angry, and he was absent from the meeting of the armies of the six countries, and he didn't even plan to go out to work.
So the last time it really attacked Qin was only the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han.
Even only the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Han posed a great threat to the Qin State, forcing the Qin State to mobilize the strength of the whole country to defeat the coalition forces of the Zhao, Wei and Han Kingdoms.
However, this is not the final result, the Qin State took care of one thing and the other, and the King of Yiqu was moved by Gongsun Yan to attack the Qin State in the rear successfully.
The two years of Qin were very difficult.
Therefore, the Qin State was still very worried about the joint movement of various countries.
This is also the reason why when Zhao Guoyi said that he wanted to establish a prince as the king of Yan, Qin Guo immediately changed from a spectator watching the excitement to threatening to roll up his sleeves and make efforts to attack Qi.
As long as the Qin State has the support of the Yan State, then the countries can no longer be combined, even if a Yan State cannot fight against the Qi State and the Zhao State, it is still possible to wave the flag behind the Qi and Zhao countries.
Xiong Huai knew the reason why the Qin State wanted to attack the Qi State, but he didn't understand where the greater benefits Chen Zhen said.
Seeing that the King of Chu looked at him suspiciously, Chen Zhen explained: "Great King, we can go to the Qin State to spread rumors. ”
