Chapter 597: Combining Vertical and Horizontal (Second Update)
Yan country, thistle capital.
Empress Dowager Yan sat on the top, holding the letter just sent by the envoy of Zhao in her slender hands, and her pretty face was full of frost.
"How can this be reasonable, King Zhao is too much!" Although she tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, in the end, the Empress Dowager Yan still didn't hold back, and directly launched a fire against the envoy of Zhao in front of her.
The envoy of Zhao State smiled slightly, and said very respectfully to the Empress Dowager Yan: "Back to the Empress Dowager, this is my king's decision, and the Empress Dowager should obey it." ”
"Compliance?" Empress Dowager Yan sneered and said, "With King Zhao's condition, how can people comply?" ”
Le Jian on the side also spoke: "What the Queen Mother said is good, King Zhao's conditions are really too much!" ”
What kind of conditions did Zhao Dan offer?
In fact, Zhao Dan's condition was very simple, that is, he wanted a city in Yan to be used as compensation for Yan State to suddenly attack Qi State by betraying the alliance in the last war, dragging Zhao State back.
To be honest, if it was a small city, then maybe the Yan Kingdom would really be ceded to the Zhao State.
But the problem is that the city that Zhao Dan wants this time is called Wuyang, which is the lower capital of Yan Kingdom, and it is the largest city, the most populous and the most economically developed city in Yan Kingdom today.
How can such a city be ceded and ceded?
Empress Dowager Yan snorted heavily, and said to the envoy of Zhao State in front of her: "If you want Yan State to cede Wuyang City, this matter is absolutely impossible!" There is a letter here, and you can turn it back to Handan and hand it over to the king of Zhao. ”
The envoy of Zhao stood up, took the letter from the hand of the Empress Dowager Yan with a smile, and then bowed down and said, "Since this is the case, then the foreign minister will retire." ”
Looking at the figure of the envoy of Zhao Guo leaving, Empress Dowager Yan sighed softly, and a sad expression appeared on her face that could not be concealed: "Chang Guojun, is Zhao Guo planning to start a war with Yan Guo this time?" ”
The face of the music room sitting at the bottom was not too good-looking, and after a while, he nodded slowly: "Back to the Queen Mother, it must be like this." ”
Empress Dowager Yan shook her head and said, "If that's the case, you shouldn't have rashly sent troops to Qi last year." ”
As soon as this sentence was spoken, Lejian's face immediately turned a little red, after all, the matter of cutting Qi was led by Lejian, and then the defeat was also commanded by Lejian.
Le Jian hurriedly said: "Please be relieved, I will send envoys to the Central Plains countries, now that Zhao is powerful, the countries will not be able to tolerate Zhao so unscrupulous attack on other countries." As long as the princes join forces, then it may not be an opportunity to take the opportunity to counterattack the Zhao State! ”
Empress Dowager Yan nodded slowly, glanced at Le Jian deeply, and said, "That's the only way." ”
The capital of Qi State, Linzi.
"King Zhao plans to join forces with the widow to kill Yan?" Qi Wangjian's face showed an expression of surprise, and after a while, he said to Hou Sheng and Kuang Liang who were under him: "Hou Qing, Kuang Qing, what do you think?" ”
After successive victories, Kuang Liang has now been promoted to the Grand Sima of Qi State, and he is an out-and-out core minister of Qi State. Hearing this, he said to King Qi Jian: "King, the minister is willing to lead the king to lead the army to attack Yan Kingdom!" ”
Hou Sheng's eyes rolled for a while, and then he spoke: "Great King, the minister thinks that Zhao is a powerful country in the world and an ally of Great Qi. If Qi and Zhao join forces to fight Yan, then it must be a success. Naturally, the minister has no opinion on such a thing. ”
Hou Sheng and Kuang Liang, the two important ministers, did not have any objection to this matter.
What are you kidding, who would object to this kind of sure win.
Zhao State is now the number one power in the world, it can be said that it is absolutely where to fight, and Zhao State to attack Yan State together, this is simply a land from the sky to Qi State for nothing.
Qi Wangjian had obviously figured out the joints a long time ago, and squinted his eyes at the envoy of Zhao in front of him and said, "Envoy, the widow still wants to ask, how should the land be distributed in the battle of Yan this time?" ”
The envoy of Zhao said respectfully: "Back to the king, in this battle of Yan, all the land conquered by the Qi army is owned by the king, but Wuyang City must be obtained by Zhao State." ”
Qi Wangjian thought for a while, and then laughed very heartily.
"Very good, then you will go back and inform King Zhao that this time the widow agreed to the matter of jointly cutting Yan!"
The capital of Wei, Taoyi.
"Wei and Han join forces to attack the state of Chu?" Wei Wangyu sat on the top with great interest, and looked at Zheng Zhu, the great line of Zhao State in front of him: "Zheng Qing, listen to what you mean, doesn't Zhao Guo plan to send troops this time?" ”
Zheng Zhu arched his hand towards Wei Wangyu and said, "Back to the king, Zhao Guo fought with Qin and Chu last year, and now he is a veteran of the division, so he naturally does not want to go out rashly. ”
Wei Wang Yu looked at Zheng Zhu fixedly for a few seconds, and then let out a sneer: "Zheng Zhu, you don't want to use these words to fool the widow!" Zhao is warlike and known to the world, and what division veterans are tired, it is simply nonsense! ”
Duan Ganzi, the prime minister of Wei on the side, also said: "Could it be that King Zhao plans to lure Wei to go on an expedition, and then stab Wei in the back?" ”
Obviously, although they were allies on the surface, in fact, the monarchs and ministers of Wei still had a deep fear of Zhao.
Looking at Wei Wangyu and Duan Ganzi with a guarded face in front of him, Zheng Zhu couldn't help laughing.
"The king, Zhao Wei is an ally, why is the king so wary of Zhao Guo?"
Wei Wangyu snorted heavily and did not answer Zheng Zhu's question.
Isn't this nonsense, what country in this world doesn't wary of Zhao now? It's just that due to the identity of the allies of the two sides, there is no need for Wei Wangyu to directly make it clear.
Instead, Duan Ganzi said: "Zheng Qing, if you want Wei to send troops to attack Chu, it is not impossible, but first, Zhao must send troops together, secondly, this time Zhao cannot make peace with Chu on its own, and third, Zhao cannot interfere in any way in the territory obtained by Wei. As long as these three points are satisfied, I believe that the king will not oppose the attack on Chu. ”
Wei Wangyu nodded, expressing his agreement with Duan Ganzi's opinion.
Zheng Zhu hesitated for a while, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Wei Wangyu: "King, I can't hide it, the reason why Zhao Guo did not participate in the battle of Chu this time is not because Zhao Guo wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but because my king intends to conquer Yan Guoye. ”
"Crusade against the Yan Kingdom?" Wei Wangyu showed surprise on his face, and after a while, he slowly nodded and said, "I see, no wonder Zhao Guo is unwilling to participate in the battle of Chu." Is King Zhao planning to destroy the Yan Kingdom directly? ”
The reason why I asked this is because the current Wei Wangyu feels that the Zhao State actually has the ability to directly destroy the Yan State.
Zheng Zhu shook his head and said: "The king said that he was joking, although the Yan Kingdom was weak, it was also one of the Seven Heroes, how could it be destroyed at will?" This time, Zhao Guo sent troops, just hoping to punish Yan Guo, so as not to make trouble behind Zhao Guo next time. ”
Wei Wangyu nodded and said, "There is some truth in that. In this way, you go back and tell King Zhao that as long as King Han agrees, then the widow will send troops to attack Chu with Korea! ”
After the envoy of Zhao State left, Duan Ganzi said with some worry: "Great King, Wei State is not as good as Zhao State, Zhao State is now strong and has a large population, so it can support years of war. Wei only fought a big war with Chu last year, and now it is at war with Chu again, which seems to be a little inappropriate. ”
The so-called inappropriateness is actually a more euphemistic statement.
Although Duan Ganzi is indeed a sycophant, he still has the basic ability to govern, otherwise he would not have been promoted to the position of Xiangbang.
In Duan Ganzi's view, the current Wei State is actually somewhat reluctant to crusade against the Chu State again.
The supply of military rations is one problem, and the other problem is that the Wei State has begun to show signs of insufficient troops, and if it encounters another defeat in this war, it will be a big trouble for the Wei State.
Wei Wangyu waved his hand and said to Duan Ganzi: "Of course the widow knows Duan Qing's worries. But Duan Qingru also has to think about it, the area of Chu is several times larger than that of the widowed Wei State, and now is the time when the Chu State is extremely weak, if you don't take advantage of this time to attack the Chu State more, then the widow will not have such a good opportunity after the Chu State recovers. ”
In fact, there is still one point that Wei Wangyu has not said, that is, if he does not take a large territory from the hands of Chu, then how can Wei achieve the goal of rejuvenation, and how can he confront the powerful Zhao State?
Duan Ganzi hurriedly said: "The king is wise, the minister will go and prepare for all matters." ”
Wei Wangyu smiled and said: "Go, the widow thinks that the king of Han should not refuse such a condition." ”
Sinjeong, South Korea.
Han Wangran sat on the top and looked at the envoy of Zhao in front of him with an indifferent expression: "King Zhao wants to send troops to attack Chu with Wei Wangyu?" ”
The messenger replied respectfully, "Hui Wang, that's exactly what happened." Now that the decline of the Chu State is a good opportunity for the Han and Wei countries to take advantage of the situation, the king is very wise, and he should have already noticed this opportunity. ”
Han Wangran laughed and said, "Don't come to shoot the widow's fart, but you will talk to the widow, why is King Zhao reluctant to send troops this time?" If you can't find a reason to convince the widow, then the widow will not send troops. ”
The envoy of Zhao replied: "Back to the king, my king has sent people to contact the Qi country, and is ready to send troops to attack the Yan country together. ”
"Yan Guo?" Han Wangran frowned, and said after a while: "So King Zhao is planning to destroy the Yan Kingdom?" ”
The envoy of Zhao replied: "The king said that he laughed, the Yan people are fierce, and it is not easy to match. ”
"Tough?" Han Wangran laughed and said, "I've never seen someone as strong as Zhao Ren." By the way, what if the Qin State took the opportunity to send troops? ”
The current South Korea and the Qin State are bordering, and if South Korea is stabbed by the Qin State through the back door when attacking the Chu State, it will not be a comfortable thing for Han Wangran.
The envoy of Zhao replied: "Back to the king, my king is ready. Once the Qin people went south to aid Chu, then the 50,000 cavalry in the two counties of Henan would also go south to Guanzhong at the same time to contain the Qin state. ”
Han Wangran thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, why should the widow miss this opportunity to expand the territory?" If you go back and tell King Zhao, you will say that this time the matter of joint attack on Chu has been agreed to! ”
After the envoy of Zhao State left, Jin Di, who had been silent, spoke: "The king doesn't really think that the people of Zhao will send 50,000 cavalry to garrison the two counties of Hetao, just to contain the Qin State." ”
"Fifty thousand cavalry?" The corners of Han Wangran's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a mocking smile: "The cavalry that Zhao Guo is stationed in the two counties of Hetao and Shuofang now, I'm afraid there are not even 20,000, right?" But it doesn't matter, Qin Guanzhong has been broken in last year's war, and it will take some time to recover, as long as Zhao State is ready to go south in the two counties of Hetao, the people of Qin should not act rashly. ”
Han Wangran stretched out his finger and knocked on the table, and said, "This is a good opportunity for South Korea, before the Qin State and the Chu State recover their vitality, let the widowed Korea become the power among the Chinese countries!" Thinking that King Zhao was able to make Zhao become the overlord in just a few years at a young age, is it any wonder that the widow is not as good as that King Zhao? ”
Perhaps because the successive victories had boosted confidence, Han Wangran's tone revealed his ambition and desire unreservedly for the first time.
