Chapter 458: Qi State or Wei State?

As soon as Zhao Dan finished speaking, the ministers of Zhao State present immediately began to offer suggestions.

The first person to speak was General Lian Po of Zhao State.

Lian Po coughed and said to Zhao Dan: "King, from the perspective of a minister, Qin is located in a remote place in the West Water, and the people of Qin have always disrespected etiquette and did not obey the culture of the Central Plains, so they cannot be used by our Central Plains countries. Therefore, it is actually not very meaningful to continue to conquer Qin. It is better to negotiate peace with Qin and develop to the east."

Logically speaking, Lian Po's words seemed to have many opponents, but in fact, almost all the ministers of Zhao State agreed with Lian Po's words, even Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao, who had never dealt with Lian Po, were no exception.

The reason for this situation is that Shandong, or the Central Plains, has always had an inexplicable sense of superiority to Qin.

In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of these vassal states, Qin was actually not from a good background, and was not even considered one of the serious princes of the Zhou Dynasty. He was a mountain village savage, so how could he be regarded as a person?

In fact, it was not only Qin, but also Chu. It was also on the list of discrimination among the Central Plains countries. It was just that after Qin became bigger, countries had to unite with Chu, which made this discrimination much less invisibly.

In general, the Central Plains countries consider themselves to be nobles with backgrounds, so they naturally look down on the "nova" like Qin.

But what is funny is that in fact, among the Central Plains, the three countries of Wei, Han and Zhao are far inferior to Qin when it comes to their founding time. But in fact, the three countries of Wei, Han and Zhao have the most serious discrimination against Qin.

It is precisely because of this discrimination that the ministers present at Zhao believed that Qin was actually a useless man and did not have much value for attack. There was nothing wrong with letting Qin hide in Guanzhong.

Zhao Dan frowned when he heard this and did not speak.

Zhao Dan, who came from the future, knew very well that the strength of Qin State was not actually dependent on the people, but on the system. As long as the Qin State's system was not destroyed, the country would have the possibility of a comeback.

But no matter what, Zhao has defeated Qin three times in a row. Now the confidence of Zhao is now completely overwhelming and does not take Qin seriously.

So even if Zhao Dan wants to convince everyone that Qin is actually a very threatening opponent, no one believes it.

So Zhao Dan pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slowly and said, "Since that's the case, I will hold a banquet in two days to entertain the Yangquanjun. By the way, let him notify Zhao Zhu that I will meet Zhao Zhu once in a few days."

In fact, it is not impossible to temporarily agree to negotiate peace with Qin.

Anyway, for Zhao State, all the benefits they deserve have been obtained. It would be good to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight and let Qin and Chu State kill each other.

Moreover, Zhao Dan was very clear in his heart that a country like Qin would never give up its external expansion, but the path of Qin's expansion towards the Central Plains has been completely blocked by Zhao!

Sooner or later, conflicts broke out between Qin and Zhao. At that time, Zhao Dan was able to convince the ministers of Zhao to continue to advance westward to destroy Qin.

Zhao Dan had a premonition that that day should not be too far away.

Zhao Dan coughed and continued, "Since you are going to negotiate peace with Qin, then what country should you focus on the attack direction next?"

Although it is said that one step at a time, it is said that knowing oneself and your enemy will never be defeated. Therefore, you should determine a goal before you start, and then focus on investigating the situation of this goal, grasp the weaknesses of the target country, and finally sending elite soldiers and generals to defeat the target country. This is the most scientific way to fight.

And the kind of person who really slapped his head and crammed when he was about to fight. This really depends on God's will.

To be honest, Zhao Dan doesn’t have too many choices for this issue.

First of all, Chu does not border Zhao, so Chu must be excluded.

Secondly, Qin had just signed a contract with Zhao, and Zhao Dan was preparing to join Zhao Zhu for an alliance, so Qin was naturally excluded.

In addition, the only targets that Zhao State can attack are naturally Wei, Han, Qi and Yan State.

Yan State is located in the northeast of China. Although it was the capital in later generations, it is now a place that is remote, bitter and cold in the eyes of the Central Plains countries, which is much less expensive than Guanzhong.

Moreover, the relationship between Yan and Zhao is actually quite good now, and it can be considered half an ally. Although Yan did not provide much help to Zhao in the last war, at least Yan did not take the opportunity to stab Zhao in the back.

So, neither Zhao Dan nor the ministers of Zhao State were present, they were not very interested in Yan State.

Then there is South Korea. As the younger brother of Zhao, South Korea is still very qualified from these wars. Every war sends troops to help Zhao.

If Zhao Guo really attacks South Korea, it will be a waste of a younger brother who seems to be obedient enough, which is obviously unprofitable.

With this method of eliminating, Zhao State can only choose two goals.

One is Qi State, the other is Wei State.

It was also about these two goals that the ministers of Zhao State had a very fierce discussion.

Lian Po took the lead and said, "The king should attack Qi. The Qi army has weak combat effectiveness, and now Wei, Chu, and Qin will not help Qi. The king only needs to unite with Yan to easily seize a large area of ​​Qi's land!"

Zhao Dan glanced at Lian Po in surprise.

A guy like Lian Po who is devoted to war will pay attention to diplomacy?

But Zhao Dan immediately woke up. The idea of ​​joining Yan State to attack Qi State was probably Yu Xin's idea.

Before Zhao Dan could speak, Zhao Sheng, the prime minister on the other side, took the lead in refuting Lian Po and said, "Wu Xinjun's words are wrong! Although Qi State is indeed very hateful, Qi State did not suffer much setbacks in this war, but it was an absolute tough bone. If we attack Qi State, then our soldiers will suffer heavy casualties, and it will even attract the covetousness of other vassal states. Therefore, Qi State is not a good target."

Lian Po snorted heavily, and a completely unconcealed anger appeared in his tiger eyes: "If you don't attack Qi, then how can you ask Pingyuan Jun what is his opinion?"

Zhao Sheng laughed and stroked his beard with some satisfaction, then said, "In my opinion, Wei is the best target for attack. Now that Wei's Daliang City has been submerged, the Wei State is extremely shocked toward Zhao State. If the king sent troops to attack Wei State at this moment, the people of Wei State must have no fighting spirit. In this way, the Central Plains of Wei State is within reach, and this is the best strategy."

Lian Po couldn't help but spat 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 a strange look: "If we attack Wei, we will naturally have to ask Wu Xinjun to lead the troops. Does Wu Xinjun think he is not as good as Wei Wuji?"
