Chapter 537: Can You Save the Chu State? (3rd Update)
April 255 BC, Xianyang City.
This is already the third day that Zhao has officially sent troops to Chu with Qi, Wei, and Han.
Due to the lag in the transmission of information, Qin Wangzhu had just learned the news.
After learning the news, Qin Wangzhu immediately summoned the ministers of the Qin State to discuss countermeasures.
So in front of Qin Wangzhu, the ministers of Qin State quarreled.
The loudest voice is not from Qin Guoxiang Bang Mi Chen, who likes to express himself very much, but from Gangchengjun Cai Ze.
"Now that Qin and Chu are allies, how can they not be saved? If he sits back and watches the defeat of the Chu State, then when the Zhao State comes to attack in the future, who will be able to be an ally of Great Qin? ”
Cai Ze's face was excited, and he even blew his beard when he spoke.
Obviously, Cai Ze is a resolute salvation faction.
However, this is actually an understandable thing, after all, the proposal of the Qin-Chu Alliance was originally put forward by Cai Ze in the high-level meeting of the Qin State, so of course Cai Ze wanted to protect the Chu State.
As soon as Cai Ze's words came out, he immediately won the approval of many ministers of the Qin State.
The Qin-Chu alliance confronted a superpower from the Taihang Mountains region, a scene that had been played out frequently in the Spring and Autumn Period for the past few hundred years.
It's just that the superpower at that time was called the Jin State, and now the superpower has become the Zhao State.
With such an excellent tradition of mutual assistance from the ancestors, the people of the Qin State really did not have much resistance to aiding the Chu State.
Of course, the most important thing is that in the last few decades, the Qin State has played the role of a nemesis of the Chu State, so the Qin people do not have much hostility towards the Chu State.
No matter who it is, it will not be too hostile to a poor worm who has been beaten by his own fancy all the year round, and will be willing to help the poor worm when it is down.
But the problem is that among the Qin monarchs and ministers present, not everyone actually agreed to rescue the Chu State.
When Cai Ze finished expressing his opinion, Qin Xiangbang and Yangquan Jun Mi Chen, who were sitting on the other side, sneered and said, "Gang Chengjun, it's easy for you to open and close your mouth. But you don't want to think about it, this Chu country is so easy to save? The combined forces of Zhao, Han, Wei, and Qi combined with hundreds of thousands of troops, could it be that Great Qin and Chu could match? ”
When Mi Chen's words came out, including Qin Wangzhu and Cai Ze, the faces of the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State in the main hall couldn't help but be a little ugly.
Mi Chen's words are actually a shortcoming.
But what made the monarchs and ministers of the Qin State even more unhappy was that Mi Chen's words were really the truth.
The combined strength of the four countries of Zhao, Han, and Wei Qi is indeed much stronger than that of the Qin-Chu Alliance.
Cai Ze snorted heavily and said, "How can this war be decided by numbers?" My Great Qin also has famous generals like Wu Anjun, and it may not be inferior to the people of Zhao Guoren! ”
When Cai Ze said this, many people turned their eyes to Wu Anjun Bai Qi on the side.
I saw Bai Qi sitting there expressionlessly, and the whole person looked like a sculpture, completely unmoved.
So among these eyes cast at Bai Qi, many of them began to look a little disappointed, and they all thought in their hearts: "Presumably, this Wu Anjun is also afraid of that Lianpo, so he doesn't dare to fight." But it's no wonder, after all, Wu Anjun's invincible myth was broken by Lian Po. ”
As a result, Cai Ze's momentum is inevitably much weaker.
Mi Chen saw all this in his eyes, the smile on his face was a little more, and his voice raised a lot when he spoke: "Gang Chengjun, since you keep saying that the Qin-Chu Alliance can fight against Zhao, Han and Weiqi, then I want to ask you, in case you send troops to aid Chu and fail, can you afford this responsibility?" ”
Cai Ze was forced to ask by Mi Chen, and he was suddenly a little speechless.
If it is really as Mi Chen said to send troops to aid Chu and fail, then judging from past experience, most of the 100,000 dead and wounded did not run.
These 100,000 lives are placed here, who can afford to bear this responsibility?
Anyway, Cai Ze definitely can't afford it.
But Cai Ze was unwilling to give in to Mi Chen like this, so after thinking about it, he spoke again: "Actually, Great Qin can also contact Yan State again, if it is the Qin, Chu and Yan Three Kingdoms Alliance, then I think it should be the strength of a battle!" ”
Mi Chen sneered and said: "Gang Chengjun, you think well, but don't you forget, this Yan State is also an ally of Zhao State, and Empress Dowager Yan and King Zhao are still the same mother!" ”
Cai Ze snorted and said, "What about a mother's compatriots?" Empress Dowager Yan is now in the position of the Empress Dowager, so she naturally has to consider the problem from the position of Yan Guo! Yan and Qi have always had grievances, and they only entertain a powerful lobbyist to go to Yan State, and they don't worry that Yan Country will not send troops to attack Qi! Once the Yan State sent troops to attack Qi, then the Qi State would definitely have to send troops back to help, and the enemies faced by the Chu State would only be three Jin. ”
Mi Chen laughed and said, "Since this is the case, then why don't Gang Chengjun go on a trip to Yan Kingdom and bring this ally for Great Qin?" ”
Cai Ze also showed no weakness in his expression: "Don't hide what Yang Quanjun said, I have this intention!" ”
This time, it was Mi Chen's turn to be a little stunned.
After coming back to his senses, Mi Chen suddenly found that he seemed to have miscalculated.
Isn't Cai Ze, an old boy, a native of Yan Kingdom?
Therefore, Cai Ze must have a lot of connections in Yan Kingdom.
Otherwise, Cai Ze should not have taken over Mi Chen's words so decisively.
If Cai Ze really succeeded in envoying Yan Guo, wouldn't Mi Chen send a great merit to Cai Ze in vain?
Thinking of this, Mi Chen suddenly had the urge to slap himself hard.
It was at this time that Qin Wangzhu, who had been quietly listening to Cai Ze and Mi Chen's quarrel, suddenly spoke: "Since Gang Chengjun took the initiative to ask for help, then Gang Chengjun will be responsible for this envoy to Yan Guo." ”
This time, all the words that Mi Chen still said back were blocked.
This Qin State Xiangbang was depressed in his heart, and couldn't help but roll his eyes fiercely.
On this issue, Mi Chen was obviously calculated and suffered a dark loss.
But immediately Mi Chen cheered up, glared at Cai Ze fiercely, and said in his heart: "Old fox, this matter is not over yet!" ”
Indeed, although it is certain that Cai Ze sent an envoy to Yan Guo and asked Yan Guo to pull the hind legs of Qi State, the distance between Yan State and Qin State is too far after all, if Cai Ze arrives at Yan State and gets a result and then returns to Xianyang, it will be at least a matter of one or two months.
In a month or two, I'm afraid that the daylilies in Chu will be cold.
Therefore, whether to rescue Chu State or not, it is impossible to wait for the reaction of Yan State, and can only come up with a charter today.
Mi Chen felt that he hadn't lost yet.
