Chapter 700: Ginger is still old and spicy (first update)
As soon as Lu Buwei's words came out, all the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State in the entire hall were stunned.
Obviously, no one would have thought that Lü Buwei would put forward such an opinion at this time.
Alliance with Zhao and attack the Three Kingdoms of Han and Wei Qi together?
Surprise, what a surprise.
There was silence in the hall.
After a long while, Gang Chengjun Cai Zecai suddenly jumped up, pointed at Lu Buwei with his finger, his hair was open, and he scolded: "Lu Buwei, are you crazy?" You actually want Great Qin to form an alliance with Zhao State?! ”
Lu Buwei glanced at Cai Ze unhurriedly, and said to Cai Ze: "Gang Chengjun's words are meaningless, I would like to ask, what is crazy about what I said just now?" ”
Cai Ze controlled his mood a little, and sneered at Lu Buwei: "Who doesn't know that it is because of Zhao Guo that Great Qin has come to this point today, and Zhao State is Great Qin's mortal enemy!" Now that you don't think about how to defeat Zhao Guoyi, it's a shame before the snow, and you still want to make Great Qin and Zhao State ally together? It's like lard blinding the heart! I see, you must have received the benefits of the people of Zhao to turn black and white so upside down here! ”
Advantage? After hearing this, Lu Buwei couldn't help but sneer in his heart, That's right, I did receive a benefit, and it was a big benefit that you couldn't even think of even if you wanted to break your head!
But thinking about it, in front of many Qin monarchs and ministers, it was naturally impossible for Lü Buwei to say such words.
I saw Lu Buwei sneering at Cai Ze: "Gang Chengjun, Gang Chengjun, framing colleagues at will, is this what you, the imperial historian, do?" But it's not surprising, after all, it's not the first time you've done this! ”
After speaking, Lu Buwei turned his head to the prince of Qin State and said: "Prince Mingjian, everything I do is for the sake of Great Qin, what collusion with Zhao State is simply nonsense!" ”
Regarding Lu Buwei's words, Cai Ze naturally didn't believe a word.
So Cai Ze immediately opened his mouth and asked Lu Buwei: "Then you are talking about it, what kind of bad idea is yours for the good law of Great Qin?" Could it be that letting the crown prince go to the king of Zhao to claim his vassal is the greatest benefit to Great Qin? ”
Cai Ze deserves to be an old man, as soon as this sentence came out, the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State in the main hall couldn't help but change color slightly, and their eyes at Lu Buwei couldn't help but be a little more unkind.
Except for Cai Ze and Lü Buwei, most of the Qin ministers present were natives of the old Qin, and they spent most of their lives in an era when Great Qin looked at the world and made the princes tremble.
Now that Great Qin wants to be a vassal to Zhao State, how can this satisfy these arrogant old Qin people present?
Although the defeat in the past few years has made the whole Qin State recognize and face up to the strength of the Zhao State, this does not mean that Great Qin will bow to the Zhao State!
In response to Cai Ze's questioning, Lu Buwei coughed and said unhurriedly: "Gang Chengjun's words are wrong, the Qin-Zhao Alliance does not mean that Great Qin wants to be subordinate to the Zhao State, but just join forces on an equal footing!" Moreover, hasn't Tsunasei-kun found out yet? As long as Great Qin and Zhao Guo join forces, then Han Weiqi will definitely be defeated! ”
Speaking of this, Lu Buwei smiled slightly, deliberately accentuated his tone, and said, "In this way, Daqin will be able to recapture Nanyang County from Korea!" Reopening the road to the east and south, you can also comfort the spirits of the two previous kings! ”
Lü Buwei's words sounded extremely tempting, which made many people's hearts shake, and they began to think about the possibility of cooperating with Zhao Guo.
Although it is true that everyone hates Zhao Guo, if you can recapture Nanyang County by cooperating with Zhao Guo, it seems that this thing can also be done.
But Cai Ze was obviously planning to fight Lü Buwei to the end today, only to see him snort heavily, and said to Lü Buwei: "Wu Chengjun, although your statement does seem to make sense, but don't forget that Zhao is now the only overlord among the princes, and it is the first in the world!" ”
"If Great Qin is on the side of Zhao State this time, then after this battle is over, Great Qin will certainly be able to benefit, but Zhao State will definitely be stronger! At that time, if Zhao Guo came to attack Great Qin again, then Great Qin would now offend Han Wei Qitong, and who would help Great Qin resist Zhao's offensive? ”
As soon as Cai Zhe's words came out, the ministers of the Qin State who were originally a little inclined to Lu Buwei suddenly became wavering again.
No, it's mainly what Cai Ze said, which does make sense.
The current Zhao State is already unable to fight, if the Zhao State is allowed to grow up because of this victory, wouldn't it be a tiger to raise, but let Daqin himself suffer in the end?
If that's the case, then it's better to just knock Zhao Guo to the ground now, and there won't be so many things in the future!
Cai Ze saw that there were many people who supported him, and Lu Buwei seemed to be silent, as if he was a little weak-hearted, and he suddenly felt a little proud in his heart.
So Cai Ze took advantage of the victory to pursue and asked Lu Buwei: "Wu Chengjun Ru thinks about it again, even if he doesn't take back Nanyang County, as long as this battle can defeat Zhao State, then Daqin can still take back Hedong County and Cuihan Channel." Dare to ask Wu Chengjun, is it more important to Hedong County and Cuihan Passage, or is it more important to have a Nanyang County? ”
If the words that Cai Ze said just now were just a little shaken, by the time Cai Ze finished saying all these words, most of the ministers of the Qin State seemed to be very moved and wanted to stand on Cai Ze's side.
Because what Cai Ze said, there is really nothing wrong at all.
From a geographical point of view, although there are two steel base cities in Nanyang County, Wancheng and Dengcheng, their importance to the Qin State is far less than that of the Hedong County and Xiaoheng Passage that the Zhao State now possesses.
The loss of Hedong County and the passage of Cuihan means that the entire Guanzhong portal of the Qin State is completely open, and it is almost equivalent to being undefended for the Zhao State.
As long as the Zhao people were willing, then thousands of Zhao troops could attack Guanzhong at any time along the Hedong County and the Cuihan Pass, posing a serious threat to Xianyang, the heart of Qin rule.
More importantly, since Zhao also occupied the two counties of Hetao and Shuofang in the northern part of Qin, once the main force of the Zhao people sent troops from Hedong County, Li Mu was also able to lead a partial division from the two counties of Hetao to the south to attack Qin on both sides, a scene that had been staged twice in the past few years.
On the other hand, once the Hedong County and the Cuihan Pass were taken, the whole situation was completely different.
At that time, the Qin people relied on Hedong County and Hangu Pass in the Kuihan Pass to form a solid defense line to block the attack of the Zhao people, and played the effect of keeping the enemy out of the country.
At that time, even if Li Mu continued to go south, because there was no Zhao army from Hedong County to echo, his threat would be much less than before, and even the Qin State might even surround and eat Li Mu, a lone cavalry in depth!
The people present were all important ministers of the Qin State, although it was not necessary that all of them had led troops to fight, but these most basic things were still understood.
After figuring out these joints, one conclusion seems to be very obvious.
It seems that the benefits gained by winning the Zhao State are much stronger than the benefits obtained by winning the South Korean war!
So soon some people began to speak out in support of Cai Ze, and there were not one or two who spoke.
Cai Ze glanced at Lu Buwei, who was frowning, proudly, not to mention the happiness in his heart.
Lu Buwei, Lu Buwei, doesn't this kid like to raise the bar with me? I'm going to let you know a truth today, what is ginger or old spicy!
