Chapter 325: The Trend of the Situation Is Out of Qin Wangji's Control (Fourth Update)
If Qin Wangji's words just now made the tension between Qi Wangjian and Wei Wangyu finally ease up a little, then now Han Wangran jumped out and said these words, which is out-and-out adding fuel to the fire.
Everyone present knew that the cause of the incident was actually the order in which the flags of each country were arranged on these six flagpoles.
It is precisely in order to compete for the ranking on this flagpole that things have progressed step by step to the point where they are now.
Although Wei Wangyu and Qi Wangjian have now understood a little bit that they may have been tricked by Zhao Dan once, and they are not ready to continue to be monkeys here to show Zhao Dan, the problem is that the flagpole ranking that caused this conflict has not been resolved.
Therefore, after Han Wangran spoke, Wei Wangyu's face turned pale, and it took a few breaths before he spoke: "King Qi, if you retreat now, then the widow can treat this matter as if it has not happened at all!" ”
After all, it was Qi Wangjian who provoked trouble at the beginning, and now Wei Wangyu just asked Qi Wangjian not to continue to stir up trouble, and he didn't even plan to continue to fight back.
In Wei Wangyu's heart, he felt that the condition he offered could be said to be very tolerant and restrained.
But Qi Wangjian didn't think so.
I saw Qi Wangjian sneering and said, "King Wei, you don't like to listen to this word." Your generals shot the widowed soldiers, and now none of them have an explanation, and then they want to stop there? There is no such good thing in the world! ”
Of course, it was impossible for Qi Wangjian to agree to Wei Wangyu's conditions.
What are you kidding, at least 100,000 people in these large camps saw with their own eyes that the warrior of Qi Wangjian was killed by Zhong Cheng, the general of Wei, when he was climbing the flagpole, if Qi Wangjian gave in like this and hung the flag of Qi to the left, then Qi Wangjian would have a lot of fun.
Not to mention that this will make Qi Wangjian and Qi lose face, let's just say that the courtier died for Qi Wangjian, and Qi Wangjian, as the king, was indifferent? Doesn't this chill the hearts of other courtiers?
In these years, the most important thing for scholars is the reputation of the monarch, if Qi Wangjian has a reputation of "not paying attention to the lives of his subordinates" because of this incident, then the scholars of Qi will definitely run more than half.
Therefore, it is impossible for Qi Wangjian to make concessions, at least until he gets an explanation from Wei Wangyu.
The situation, which had already calmed down, instantly became tense again.
Seeing this, Chu Wangyuan on the side was very happy, and suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted at Wei Wangyu: "King Wei, what are you waiting for, why don't you go up with the widow and kill this Qi countryman?" If you are willing to send troops to help the widow today, then the widow can also send troops to help you destroy the country of Lu in the future! ”
If Han Wangran's words just now made the situation that had already cooled down a little scorching again, then Chu Wangyuan's words simply added fuel to the fire, making the situation sparkling, and it could be on the verge of breaking out at any time.
Although it is said to be the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", there were not only seven vassal states in the Warring States Period.
Although small countries such as Zhongshan Kingdom, Song Kingdom, Wei Kingdom, and Lu State are not as strong as the Seven Heroes, they still survived more or less for a period of time in the Warring States Period, and even several countries survived to the middle and late Warring States period.
When Tao County was captured by Wei, looking at the many countries around Wei, the weakest was Lu State, except for Weiguo, who now claimed to be a vassal of Wei.
Although the Lu State was very strong when it was founded, but after hundreds of thousands of years, the Lu State is now an out-and-out weak chicken.
By the side of the Lu State, the three powerful neighbors of the Wei State, the Chu State and the Qi State were all eyeing this little weak chicken.
If it weren't for the fact that the three powerful neighbors didn't want Lu to be annexed by other countries, Lu would have perished a long time ago.
And now, as long as it has the support of the Chu State, then the Wei State is very hopeful to win the competition with the Qi State and smoothly annex the Lu State!
So Wei Wangyu was tempted all of a sudden, and his eyes kept wandering back and forth on the bodies of Chu Wangyuan and Qi Wangjian.
I have to say that this Chu Wangyuan's suggestion is really tempting.
Or...... Just get him Qi Guo once?
Anyway, there were a lot of grievances between Wei and Qi.
When Wei rescued Zhao, Qi stepped on the corpse of the overlord Wei and became the new overlord, and when the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi, Wei directly pulled the overlord Qi off the horse with a backhand, and now both sides are eyeing the big fat of Lu, so it can be said that the conflict of strategic interests is very serious.
Isn't the most important thing between countries the exchange and competition of interests in the first place?
So the more Wei Wangyu thought about it, the more he felt that it seemed that it was really necessary to get him Qi Wangjian once.
And judging from the current situation, today seems to be a very good opportunity.
Get him? Or don't get it?
Wei Wangyu was a little wavering for a while.
Wei Wangyu's vacillation was clearly seen by others, especially Qin Wangji.
Qin Wangji was also a little unsettled at this time.
If there was any king present who did not want to see Qi Wangjian and Wei Wangyu in conflict, then this person would definitely be Qin Wangji.
At this stage, Qin Wangji's biggest and only goal was to overthrow the Zhao State.
For Qin Wangji, if he wants to achieve this goal, the necessary allies must be indispensable.
Yan Guo is counted as one, but because King Yan is ill at an inopportune time, he can't count on Yan Guo's ally for the time being.
Chu State, due to the relationship between the two counties in the southeast, it is definitely impossible for Chu State to become an ally of Qin State.
South Korea can fight for it to be honest, but South Korea is too weak after all, and South Korea has almost no victory against Qin for so many years, so Qin Wangji didn't take South Korea too seriously.
It's almost the same with it or not, anyway, as long as the general trend is successful, South Korea, the wall-head grass, will definitely take the initiative to lean over.
What Qin Wangji hopes for the most and makes the most efforts to win over is the Qi State and the Wei State.
Both of these countries were once the hegemons of the Warring States and are now in a period of decline.
Since it was the former overlord, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and it always had a certain combat effectiveness.
Since it is a period of decline, there should be a desire for the monarch to rise again.
The state of Qin was located in Guanzhong, and after the loss of Tao County, it had no border with Wei and Qi at all.
Since there are no borders, then there are not too many conflicts of strategic interests.
And now the state of Zhao, which is in the limelight, borders both Wei and Qi.
In other words, the conflict of interests between Zhao and Wei Qi must have been more intense.
With a hegemon-level country like Zhao as a neighbor, who can sit still?
Therefore, Qin Wangji felt that the four kingdoms of Qin-Wei-Qi-Yan were fighting against Zhao in a row, which was feasible from the perspective of national interests.
As for the loss of Tao County, to be honest, Qin Wangji doesn't care too much about it now.
After all, during the Battle of Changping, Qin Wangji once used Taojun as a bargaining chip to tempt Wei Wangyu at the suggestion of Fan Sui.
Anyway, now that the loss of Tao County is already a fact, and Qin State is unable to send troops to recover Tao County for a while, it is better to use the loss of Tao County to make a fuss, so that Wei and Zhao will be separated from Germany and thrown into the arms of Qin State, this is what Qin Wangji should consider.
But now it looks like Wei Wangyu is about to start with Qi Wangjian, how can this work?
Qin Wangji stared fiercely at Han Wangran, who had made things big again, and said coldly: "King Han, what are your intentions in sowing discord here?" ”
Qin Wangji's words were not without threats.
In Qin Wangji's view, Korea is just a dog that Qin has always been, and now this dog is not only disobedient, but also betrayed the owner of Qin.
Obviously, Qin Wangji needs to teach the Korean dog a hard lesson.
In Qin Wangji's impression, although Han Wangran has a little bit of power, he has always been respectful to Qin State.
As long as Qin Wangji opened his mouth to shift everyone's attention to Han Wangran, suppressed Han Wangran and then changed the topic, he could find a way to eliminate the misunderstanding between Qi Wangjian and Wei Wangyu.
Isn't it just a little trick thrown out by Zhao Dan to stir up the relationship between the vassal states, you don't have to be fooled.
But what Qin Wangji never expected was that Han Wangran actually made an answer that made him extremely unexpected.
I saw Han Wangran laughing, and he raised his head fiercely, and two fine lights suddenly flashed in his eyes: "King Qin, the widow is just stating the facts, why are you spewing blood here, could it be that you want to smear the widow and Korea in a hurry?" ”
Han Wangran's words were full of violent, and the attitude in his words was full of fiery meaning, and his tough attitude was beyond everyone's expectations.
Qin Wangji laughed angrily, stared at Han Wangran viciously, and said word by word: "Good, good, good!" I can't imagine that King Ru Han dares to speak to the widow like this now, it seems that King Han has already made up his mind to follow Zhao Guo to the end? ”
Qin Wangji was really annoyed, this South Korea has always been the scum in the eyes of Qin Guo, but now such a scum dares to give Qin Wangji a face in public.
How can this be endured?
Qin Wangji sneered, the white beard at the corner of his mouth trembled, and a pair of old eyes were full of light, and it seemed that he might order the Qin army to dispatch at any time and kill the Han army directly.
It was also at this time that a voice sounded in everyone's ears in a very timely manner.
"That's right, it's not been a day or two since Korea and the widow Zhao Guo formed the Three Jin Alliance, it turns out that King Qin only found out today? Unexpectedly, although the 'Hou' of the Qin State was famous, he couldn't even collect this outdated information. Alas, that's all there is to it. ”
Everyone followed the sound and looked, but found that Zhao Guo's camp had opened its doors at some point, and 20,000 elite Zhao troops came out in array, and the army was strict and murderous.
In the center of the army there was a carriage pulled by six jujube red horses, the roof canopy was red, looking extremely majestic and imposing, under the canopy sat a young king, this king was dressed in a red royal robe, wearing a golden crown, and staring at Qin Wangji with a smile on his face.
Zhao Dan is here.
