Chapter 271: The Gloomy Queen and the Angry Zhao Dan (Second Update)
A moment later, the queen finally spoke, breaking the silence.
"The envoy just said that if the Qi State participates in the merger of the Five Kingdoms, it will be able to obtain the Tao County of the Qin State?"
Su Dai nodded very affirmatively and said, "Exactly!"
The queen looked at Su Dai, then at Qi Wang Jian and Hou Sheng, and suddenly let out a long sigh and stood up.
"The old woman is a little tired, and this national event will be decided by the king himself."
After the queen said this, she left the hall without looking back.
The queen's actions were obviously beyond the expectations of the others present, even Su Dai.
But soon, Su Dai understood.
What Su Dai said to the queen just now is actually very easy to understand.
In these troubled times, of course, only the harder fists, that is, the so-called "strong", can have the power to protect themselves, and the country is certainly no exception.
So you Qi want to protect yourself? It's simple, as long as you can become a country as powerful as my Zhao State and become another overlord country, then don't you already have the power to protect yourself?
It was after hearing these words did the queen leave the scene.
In the eyes of the wise Empress Dowager of Qi, if the matter of the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin can really be realized, then what Qi has to consider is not how to guard against Zhao.
As soon as the Five Kingdoms war against Qin ended, the Zhao State undoubtedly rose, and it was useless to prevent it.
Therefore, the problem of Qi has actually changed from how to prevent the rise of Zhao to how to become strong before Zhao comes to attack Qi.
It's like what Zhao State, which was not yet the overlord, did when facing the threat of Qin.
Back then, Zhao State first overthrew the overlord Qi State with Qin State, and then seized the opportunity to get to where it is today.
From such a standpoint, Qi State's participation in the partition of Qin State is undoubtedly a better choice, and it can even be said to be the only choice, than being overturned by Zhao State along with Qin State.
In terms of the choice of early or late death, the vast majority of people will choose to die late.
Because as long as there is time, then there is still a chance.
The queen knew very well in her heart that as long as she participated in the invasion of Qin by the Five Kingdoms, then the Qi State would be able to have a chance.
A chance to make Qi a strong man and compete with Zhao State!
The gentle and virtuous Empress Dowager of Qi had witnessed the catastrophe more than 20 years ago, so she hoped that the Qi State under her son's rule would stay away from the flames of war and no longer let life suffer.
Therefore, the queen has always been unwilling to let the Qi state intervene in the war.
But the Battle of Changping changed her mind for the first time, and the great threat of Zhao led the queen to decide to ally with Qin.
And just now, Su Dai's words changed the queen's mind for the second time.
It is useless to passively avoid war, only when the country of Qi itself becomes strong and has the power that no one dares to act rashly, can the country of Qi usher in true peace!
So the queen is gone.
Although the queen is gone, the empress dowager of Qi has actually made her attitude very clear before leaving-"It's up to the king to decide." ”
What was Qi Wangjian's decision before? Of course, it is to unite with Zhao and have a vigorous Five Kingdoms attack on Qin!
So after the queen left, Qi Wangjian didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Since this is the case, then please ask the envoy to report back to Zhao as soon as possible, just say that Zhao Wangzhi's proposal, the widow agreed!" As long as Zhao State reported to Chu State, then the widow withdrew his troops from the Lanling front line, and dispatched 80,000 soldiers and horses to accompany Zhao State to attack Qin! ”
Qi Wangjian's words came out without pause, obviously he had already prepared a draft in his heart.
Don't forget, although this Qi Wangjian is a famous long-lived monarch and the king of the dead country in the history of Qi, Qi Wangjian at this time is actually just like Zhao Dan, a young monarch who has just ascended the throne for a few years.
Being young means impulsive, hot-blooded, and dreamy!
A young monarch is hard to resist the temptation of war and expansion!
Su Dai was overjoyed when he heard this, and bowed to King Jianshen of Qi: "Please rest assured that the king will definitely bring the king's words back to Handan as soon as possible!"
……
When Zhao Dan, who was in Handan, heard Su Dai's return, he was also overjoyed.
"Good, good, that's great!"
Zhao Dan slapped the table hard, his face full of incomparable excitement.
For Zhao Dan, the importance of Qi in this plan of the Five Kingdoms to invade Qin was even beyond the imagination of the Qi people themselves.
The reason is also very simple, because if Qi does not join, then Zhao Dan must reserve a part of his troops to defend Handan.
After all, the distance from the border of Qi and Zhao to Handan is actually only a few days away, and Handan is on the plain, except for the city itself, there is no danger to defend.
And when Qi State joined Zhao State's side, Handan would not have any threat, and Zhao Dan could rest assured and boldly let Zhao State's elite main force come out.
This time the Five Kingdoms attacked Qin, but it was the most favorable opportunity for Zhao Dan and even Zhao Guo.
If Zhao Dan only thought about taking Hedong before, then as the situation becomes smoother and smoother, all plans are realized step by step, and now Zhao Dan has set a new goal for himself, that is, he must completely cripple the Qin State after this battle, so that the Qin State will completely roll down from the position of the hegemon!
After this battle, the widow wants to make the whole world a world that obeys the orders of the widow, so that all the kings can only tremble under the prestige of the widow, and even more completely replace Qin Wangji and become the well-deserved first king of the world!
Zhao Dan's heart was full of pride and ambition.
But it was at this time that Zhao Dan heard a piece of news that made him not so pleasant.
Mi Xian hurriedly walked into the side hall of Longtai, holding an urgent report in his hand, and said to Zhao Dan: "Great King, the news that the secret agent of Hu Yiwei on the Wei side just came, Wei Wuji led 20,000 elite soldiers to suddenly attack the Qin State a few days ago, and now he has occupied most of Tao County!"
"What?" Zhao Dan's face suddenly changed when he heard this.
This Wei Wuji actually attacked Tao County at this time?
I have to say that Wei Wuji chose to fight Tao County at this time, which was indeed a very smart decision.
And judging from the results so far, this decision is about to become a successful decision.
But the problem is that when Zhao Dan was already sending Su Dai, he asked Su Dai to promise Tao County to Wei State!
"Damn it!" Zhao Dan slapped the table again, but this time there was an extremely obvious unhappiness on his face.
"What a Wei country, what a Wei Wuji! Miqing, quickly summon the ministers to the palace to discuss matters! ”
