Chapter 458: Qi State or Wei State? (3rd Update)
As soon as Zhao Dan's voice fell, the ministers of Zhao who were present immediately began to offer suggestions.
The first to speak was Lian Po, the general of Zhao Guoda.
I saw Lian Po cough and said to Zhao Dan: "King, in the opinion of the ministers, the Qin State is located in a remote place in the West Water, and the people of the Qin State have always disrespected etiquette and disobeyed the Central Plains culture, so they cannot be used by our Central Plains countries. Therefore, it is actually no longer of much significance to continue to conquer the Qin State. It is better to negotiate peace with the Qin State, and it is the best policy to develop to the east. ”
It stands to reason that Lian Po's remarks seem to have many opponents, but in fact, almost all the ministers of Zhao agreed with Lian Po's remarks, even Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, who had never dealt with Lian Po.
The reason for this situation is mainly that Shandong, or the Central Plains countries, have always had an inexplicable sense of superiority over Qin.
In the eyes of the kings and ministers of these vassal states, the Qin State was actually not born well, and it was not even one of the princes of the Zhou Dynasty.
In fact, it is not only the Qin State, but the Chu State is also in the discrimination list of the Central Plains countries, but it is only after the Qin State becomes bigger that all countries have to unite with the Chu State, which makes this discrimination invisibly a lot less.
In general, the Central Plains countries thought that they were nobles with background, and naturally looked down on the "nouveau riche" like the Qin State.
But what is funny is that in fact, the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Zhao among the Central Plains countries are far inferior to Qin in terms of the founding time, but it is the three kingdoms of Wei, Han and Zhao that are the most serious discrimination against Qin from the monarch to the people.
It is precisely because of this kind of discrimination that these ministers of Zhao State present unanimously believe that Qin State is actually a chicken rib and does not have much offensive value, and there is nothing wrong with letting Qin State shrink in Guanzhong.
Zhao Dan frowned when he heard this, but did not speak.
Zhao Dan from the future knows very well in his heart that the strength of the country of Qin does not lie in the people, but in the system, as long as the system of the Qin State is not destroyed, the country still has the possibility of a comeback.
But in any case, the current Zhao State has defeated the Qin State three times in a row, and now the self-confidence of the Zhao State can be said to be completely bursting now, and they don't regard the Qin State as a thing at all.
Therefore, even if Zhao Dan wants to convince everyone that Qin Guo is actually a very threatening opponent, no one will believe it.
So Zhao Dan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly, and said: "In that case, then the widow will set up a banquet to entertain Nayang Quanjun in two days." By the way, let him inform Zhao Zhu, and the widow will meet Zhao Zhu once in a few days. ”
In fact, it is not impossible to temporarily agree to negotiate peace with the Qin State.
Anyway, for Zhao State, the benefits that should be taken have been obtained now, and it is also good to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and let Qin State and Chu State kill each other.
And Zhao Dan also knows very well in his heart that a country like Qin will never give up external expansion, but the road of Qin's expansion in the direction of the Central Plains has been completely blocked by Zhao State!
Therefore, sooner or later, contradictions will break out again between the Qin and Zhao states. At that time, Zhao Dan was able to confidently persuade the ministers of Zhao to continue westward to destroy Qin.
Zhao Dan had a hunch that that day should not be too far away.
Zhao Dan coughed and continued: "Since you want to negotiate peace with the Qin State, then what do you think the Qing Qing should focus on which country to attack next?" ”
Although it is said to take one step at a time, but as the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, so it is necessary to determine a target before starting, and then focus on investigating the situation of this target, grasp the weaknesses of the target country, and finally send elite soldiers to defeat the target country together, which is the most scientific method of fighting a war.
And like the kind of person who really pats his head and temporarily crams when he is about to fight, this is really a matter of God's will to win or lose.
To be honest, in fact, Zhao Dan didn't have too many choices on this issue.
First of all, the state of Chu did not border the state of Zhao, so the state of Chu would definitely be excluded.
Secondly, Qin State has just signed a contract with Zhao State, and Zhao Dan is also going to have an alliance with Zhao Zhu, so Qin State will naturally be excluded.
In addition, the targets that Zhao could attack were naturally only Wei, Korea, Qi and Yan.
Yan is located in the northeast of China, although it is the capital in later generations, but at this moment in the eyes of the Central Plains countries belongs to the kind of remote and bitter cold, much more chicken ribs than Guanzhong.
And now the relationship between Yan and Zhao is actually okay, they can be regarded as half allies, although Yan did not provide much help to Zhao in the last war, but at least Yan did not take the opportunity to stab Zhao in the back.
Therefore, whether it was Zhao Dan or the ministers of Zhao Guo who were present, they did not have much interest in Yan Guo.
Then there is South Korea, as the younger brother of Zhao, South Korea is still very qualified, at least from the perspective of these wars, and in every war it sent troops to help Zhao.
If Zhao Guo really attacked South Korea, it would be to lose a little brother who seemed to be obedient enough for nothing, which was obviously not cost-effective.
After such an elimination method, there are only two targets that Zhao Guo can choose.
One is the State of Qi, and the other is the State of Wei.
It was around these two goals that the ministers of Zhao launched a very heated discussion.
Lian Po was the first to speak: "The king should attack the Qi country. The combat effectiveness of the Qi army is weak, and now the states of Wei, Chu, and Qin will not help the state of Qi, and the king only needs to unite with the state of Yan to be able to easily seize a large area of land in the state of Qi! ”
Zhao Dan glanced at Lian Po with some surprise.
A guy like Lian Po, who is all about war, actually pays attention to diplomacy?
But immediately Zhao Dan came to his senses, this idea of uniting Yan State to attack Qi State together was most likely Yu Xin's idea.
Before Zhao Dan could speak, Zhao Sheng, the Xiangbang on the other side, preemptively retorted to Lian Po and said: "Wu Xinjun's words are bad!" Although the Qi State is indeed very hateful, the Qi State did not suffer many setbacks in this war, but it is an out-and-out hard bone. If we attack the Qi country, then our soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and it will even attract the covetousness of other vassal states. Therefore, Qi is not a good target. ”
Lian Po snorted heavily, and a pair of tiger eyes revealed a completely undisguised anger: "If you don't attack the Qi Kingdom, then dare to ask Pingyuan Jun what he thinks?" ”
Zhao Sheng laughed, stroked his beard a little smugly, and then said: "In my opinion, Wei is the best target. Now that the Great Liang City of Wei has been submerged, the whole Wei State is terrified of my Zhao State. If the king sends troops to attack Wei at this moment, then the people of Wei must have no fighting spirit, so that the Central Plains of Wei can be obtained at your fingertips, and this is the best policy. ”
Lian Po couldn't help but snort heavily when he heard this, and said: "Wei Wuji is a famous general in the world, is Pingyuan Jun really so sure that he can defeat Wei Wuji so easily?" ”
Zhao Sheng laughed, and looked at Lian Po with strange eyes: "If you attack Wei at that time, you will naturally have to ask Wu Xinjun to lead the troops, does Wu Xinjun think that he is not as good as Wei Wuji?" ”
