There is a difference between a little brother and a dog after all.

Even if you are not familiar with any history, anyone who has only read some of it should be able to know that the younger brother can work hard for the eldest brother, but the eldest brother must also give the younger brother certain benefits.

To put it simply, the younger brother also has to support his family, earn some money to spend, and even want to buy a car and a house.

But dogs are different.

The ownership of a dog belongs to the owner, and everything about it belongs to the owner.

It is the duty of the master to be born and die, and the reward for this kind of thing depends entirely on the mood of the master, and it is normal if there is none, and if there is one, it is usually a few bones.

There is no doubt that although Han and Wei are the younger brothers of Zhao Guo, they are not the two dogs of Zhao Guo.

Therefore, these two younger brothers need to be advantageous when they help Zhao Guo fight, otherwise they may abandon Zhao Guo at any time (in fact, Wei Guo has already tried this).

As the saying goes, a little brother who doesn't want to be a big brother is not a good little brother.

When the Jin State was strong, the Qi State once treated the Jin State as inferior to the Jin State; When the State of Chu was strong, the State of Qin was willing to be the second brother of Qin in front of the eldest brother of Chu; When the State of Qi was strong, the State of Zhao also bowed down to the State of Qi.

But it is also these little brother countries, when the big brothers are weak, they will not hesitate to raise their weapons and stab the back of the eldest brother in the back.

So all along, Zhao Dan has been very wary of these two little brothers, and adopted an attitude of "I eat meat and you drink soup".

But even so, with the successive victories of Han and Wei led by Zhao Guo, these two younger brothers drank too much soup, and they still grew up after all.

South Korea, once competed with Yan for the penultimate existence of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States. Not only does it now have 150,000 troops, but it also has one more Nanyang County than Korea at its peak, and it looks like it will soon acquire a large area of territory south of the Yellow River in Chu.

The state of Wei, once in decline, is now beginning to show signs of revival. Once the two counties of Jiujiang and Huiji fell into the hands of Wei, then Wei would have the capital for revival, and it would not be impossible for them to re-emerge as a hegemon of the Warring States in time.

The little brother's fist is hard, it's hard to manage.

Xiangbang Zhao Sheng's words successfully distorted the topic, and the ministers of Zhao State started a debate around how to treat Han Wei's two younger brothers.

Lian Po snorted, and his white beard automatically followed the opening of his lips: "The king and Zhao Guofang are the alliance leaders of the Three Jin Alliance, since it was ordered by the alliance leader, then Han and Wei should obey it!" If Han and Wei are not willing to comply, then - just fight! ”

Fighting, a very pure, direct, and military idea.

Zhao Dan's facial muscles twitched slightly, and he immediately denied Lian Po's opinion in his heart.

yes, just fight, what an easy way.

But here's the problem – you have to be able to beat it.

The can't be beaten here, of course, it doesn't just refer to the two younger brothers of Han Wei, but if the two younger brothers of Zhao Guo and Han Wei start fighting, other countries may also join the war.

Looking at all the countries in the world, it goes without saying that Qin is the old enemy of Zhao, Chu was also taken by Zhao half of Huaibei, Qi was taken by Zhao two years ago, and Yan had just ceded Wuyang to Zhao.

If you add Han and Wei, then a perfect lineup of the Six Kingdoms to attack Zhao will come out.

This is an out-and-out enemy of the world!!

It is true that with the strength of Zhao Guo now, if he really fights, although the probability of losing will be greater, it is not impossible to win.

According to the plan of the General Staff of the Zhao State, once a battle of the Six Nations against Zhao immediately occurs, then the victory rate of the Zhao State should be - three percent!

One sounds like a relatively low probability.

When he heard this probability, Zhao Dan's heart was somewhat puzzled.

Back then, Qin Wangji's Qin State didn't have such a hard time facing Hezhong, it doesn't make sense that the current Zhao State is weaker than Qin Wangji's Qin State, right?

The opinion of the General Staff of Zhao State believes that the reason for this situation is actually very simple, that is, the geographical situation of Zhao State is too bad compared to Qin State.

In the case of Qin, once attacked, then it only needs to defend Hangu Pass, and there is no need to worry about being attacked from other directions.

And Hangu Pass is notoriously easy to defend and difficult to attack, which gives the Qin people a great advantage when dealing with Hezhong.

The core area of the Zhao State is located in Handan in the Central Plains, which is full of plains and there is no danger to defend, no matter which one of Yan, Qi, Han, or Wei can easily reach the city of Handan, which makes it very difficult for Zhao to defend.

In addition, due to the existence of the Taihang Mountain, although the territory of Zhao is vast, it is divided into three major plots: the Central Plains (southeast), the north, and Hedong-Jinyang (southwest).

These three major plots are directly separated by the steep Taihang Mountain, and the distance between them is quite far away, and it is very difficult to support each other and transport troops, but it is easy to be broken by the enemy.

So don't look at the fact that Zhao was able to defeat the Qin State in the Qin Wangji era, but when it comes to dealing with the situation of the whole world's enemy, the Qin State in the Qin Wangji era is much easier to deal with than Zhao Dan's Zhao State, it can be said that one is easy difficulty (Qin State) and the other is hell difficulty (Zhao State).

Zhao Dan is not a masochist, so naturally he will not play any hellish difficulty, and it is better not to offend all the other Warring States princes.

After Lian Po's opinion was denied, Pang Xuan, Lian Po's deputy and the real presiding officer of the General Staff, put forward another opinion.

"The king, the minister thinks that in fact, this Han and Wei are not monolithic, and there is no need for the king to regard Han and Wei as one."

Zhao Dan's eyes lit up when he heard this, as if he suddenly understood something, and hurriedly said, "Pang Qing, keep talking." ”

Pang Xuan said: "The minister thinks that although Han and Wei fought side by side in this war, in fact, the interests of the two countries are not the same, or it is completely impossible for the two countries to cooperate sincerely. ”

"Now that Korea is besieging Xicheng with the main force of the Chu State, it will be difficult to overcome the losses in the past few months. On the other hand, Wei attacked Shouchun, which was only guarded by a small number of Chu troops, and after capturing Shouchun, it marched all the way east to play a triumphant song, and now it has won most of Jiujiang County. ”

With such a stark contrast, is there really no complaint in the hearts of Koreans? The minister thought that the king might try to solve this problem from this aspect. ”

After Pang Xuan's words were finished, not only Zhao Dan, but even the other ministers of Zhao State present suddenly woke up.

Zhao Dan slapped his thigh and couldn't help laughing: "Pang Qing's plan, seconds, seconds!" ”

It was only at this time that Zhao Dan realized that he had fallen into some kind of misunderstanding.

Han and Wei are two different countries, how can they be confused?

As long as you find a way to defeat each of them, then you can solve the current problem of the Chu State!

Zhao Dan was not the only one who was inspired by Pang Xuan, Zheng Zhu of Zhao Guoxing immediately said after thinking for a while: "Great King, in fact, the minister feels that if the Great King sends an envoy to Xinzheng and mediates, then Han Wangran is very likely to accept the truce. ”

When Zheng Zhu said this, he was immediately echoed by several people.

Zhao Dan thought about it and felt that it seemed to be the same reason.

Although Zhao's spies have not yet figured out how many Chu troops are still holding in Xicheng, according to the speculations made by various intelligences, the Zhao State Staff believes that the Chu army in Xicheng should be at the level of about 100,000.

Of course, these 100,000 people can't all be elites, but in the case of defending the city, it is still very difficult for the 150,000 Korean army to take such a city, and even if they do, they will have to pay a very heavy price.

South Korea has such a small number of troops, if they are all under Xicheng, first, South Korea will definitely not be able to continue to plunder the territory of Chu, and second, if there is no army, how can South Korea deal with the attacks and coveting of other countries?

Moreover, South Korea also seized a large area of territory in this war, which can be regarded as a very rich reward.

Since the establishment of the Warring States Period, although the princes of the Warring States have all hoped to destroy the enemy country in a war, after two hundred years of fighting, it is actually the most correct and common way to accept what is good.

Judging from Han Wangran's character, if Zhao Guo really asked for a truce, maybe he would really stop fighting, after all, if he continued to fight, he would just make a wedding dress for Wei State.

Zhao Dan thought about this, and finally made a decision: "Since this is the case, then please ask Zheng Qing to go to Xinzheng to meet the king of Han, and mediate on behalf of the widow, and strive for a truce between Korea and Chu." By the way, the attitude should be more respectful, don't let King Han feel that the widow is ordering him, but should make King Han feel that the widow is discussing with him, yes, discuss! ”

Zheng Zhu said respectfully: "Huh." ”

Yu Xin asked, "Great King, what should the Wei side do?" ”

"Wei State?" Zhao Dan thought for a while and said, "This Wei Wangyu has always been dissatisfied with widows, and this time the widows naturally can't make Wei bigger." In this way, Zheng Qingru sent a person to meet the King of Wei, and said that the widow, as the leader of the Three Jin Alliance, ordered him to immediately stop fighting with the Chu State! ”

Zheng Zhuleng paused for a moment, and then said, "King, if this is the case, I'm afraid King Wei won't agree." ”

Zhao Dan snorted and said, "The widow is really not afraid that he won't agree!" If this King of Wei really thought that he would be indifferent to the orders of the widow by taking a large part of the land of Chu, then let him try. ”

The younger brother is also divided into good and bad, and it should be treated differently.

This little brother in South Korea has always been relatively honest, so his attitude towards South Korea is naturally better.

Wei Guo's little brother has always been not very honest, and he even has a positive experience with Zhao Guo's big brother, so he naturally can't be too polite when talking to such a little brother.

It's really not good, just give it a beating.

Round heads-up, who was the widowed Zhao Guo afraid of?
