Chapter six hundred and ninety fifth
As soon as Zhao Dan said this, anyone knew that Zhao Dan was really angry.
Although he had long known that he might be betrayed at any time in this era, when Zhao Dan encountered all this, he still felt very unhappy from the bottom of his heart.
South Korea must learn a harsh lesson!
However, Zhao Dan was also very clear in his heart that the most important thing now is to guard Shangdang County.
As long as Shangdang County, especially the North Shangdang Basin, has not been lost, the situation in Zhao State will actually not be that bad.
For some reason, the Qin people in the west had mobilized their troops and set up their postures, but they had not started a war with Zhao.
In the southeast direction, Pang Nuan has already gained a clear advantage in the face of the Wei people, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before he wins.
In the eastern battlefield, although the number of Kuangliang in Qi was superior, he did not make any decent progress under Lian Po's defense. After all, Lian Po could even defend Bai Qi back then, and Kuang Liang's command ability was far inferior to Bai Qi, so it was normal for this result.
As long as he can defend for some time and let Pang Nuan take the lead in opening up the situation and defeating the Wei army, if the main force of the 150,000 Zhao army is liberated, the entire battle situation will immediately go in the favorable direction of Zhao State.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the Qin people did not intervene.
If the Qin people also start fighting immediately, Zhao will face four opponents at the same time on the territory borders of thousands of miles southwest, southeast, southeast and east. The length of this front alone will be enough for Zhao Dan to have a headache.
When Zhao Dan thought of this, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart that it would be great if he traveled to Qin, and he just had to guard a place in Guanzhong.
Thief that he could not save Zhao people, so Zhao Dan took back his mind after just a moment and said in a deep voice: "Let's do this for Shangdang County, and make a decision after further progress. But now there is another thing to be solved. Now that South Korea has betrayed me, what should we do next?"
If you just asked about military affairs, then you are asking about diplomacy.
On military issues, these civil servants may not dare to speak casually, but if they talk about diplomacy, then they will have a lot of things to say.
Zhao Sheng was the first to speak: "King, why not return part of Qi's land to seek peace from Qi, and then let General Lian Po return to the army to rescue Shangdang County!"
This was the most commonly used strategy of ceding land to seek summation in the Warring States Period.
Su Shi's father Su Xun once criticized the demise of the six kingdoms in "On the Six Kingdoms" because "the destruction of the six kingdoms is not bad for the military, but bad for the war, and the disadvantage is bribing Qin."
The meaning is that the six Shandong countries always cede land and pay compensation from Qin, making themselves weaker and stronger, and finally they were out of control.
When I heard this, it seemed that the monarchs of the six Shandong countries were all stupid, and the ministers were all stupid, and no one could see the harm of doing so.
This obviously regarded all the monarchs and ministers of the six countries in the middle and late Warring States period as mentally retarded.
Actually, if we talk about cede land and seek peace, Qin actually did a lot.
Then why did the six kingdoms "cede land and bribe Qin" and no one scolded Qin when Qin ceded land?
On the one hand, this is because Su Xun wrote this article to imply the annual tribute of the Great Cowardly Dynasty to the Liao Kingdom and Xixia. On the other hand, it also has some meanings of success and defeat. And if we really want to say it, the cedes of Qin's land are actually quite useful.
For example, when Kuang Zhang broke through Hangu Pass decades ago, Qin successfully took advantage of Qi's psychology and returned Han Wusui and Wei's tombs to exchange for the retreat of the Three Kingdoms coalition led by Kuang Zhang.
For example, when the third five-nation coalition attacked Qin in 287 BC, the then king of Qin, King Ji, the king of Qin, returned Wen, Zhuang and Gaoping to Wei, and returned the princes and Fu Yu to Zhao. This time, the coalition coalition of the five-nation coalition immediately broke down.
From this point of view, it is actually not unacceptable to Zhao's temporary return of some land in Qi State. Anyway, you can learn from Qin State and then fight back.
Zhao Dan pondered for a moment, then said, "Can this plan be successful?"
The person who answered Zhao Dan was Zheng Zhu, a great disciple: "King, the prime minister of Qi has always been greedy for money. If he could order the envoy to bribe him with a lot of money and treasures, and to cede land, he would be very sure to persuade Qi to truce him."
Zhao Dan nodded slowly and said, "It's great. Are there any other strategies?"
Although this strategy seems to be useful, Zhao Dan decided to put it aside first.
The reason is nothing else. As a time traveler, a patriot who has seen in history textbooks and many TV movies how modern China was plundered by the great powers in blockbuster land. Zhao Dan heartily resisted this kind of cede land and seeking peace.
Seeing this, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but look disappointed on his face, but he didn't dare to refute it.
The next idea was Li Bo: "The king, I think that the envoy should be sent to Chu State now and ordered the King of Chu to send troops to restrain Han and Wei immediately. If a fire breaks out in Han and Wei's backyard, it will definitely not be able to use troops to Zhao State unscrupulously, and it should be able to relieve a lot of pressure."
Zhao Dan nodded and said, "Li Qing's plan is good. After the meeting is over, Zheng Qing remembers to quickly send an envoy to Chu State and urge King Yuan of Chu to tell him that if I am defeated this time, then the next time I will be divided up by Chu State!"
Zhao Dan's tone showed a bit of dissatisfaction, but the reason was that it was almost half a month since the war started. Zhao State and Wei and Qi State had a full-scale war, but the Chu State still procrastinated and showed no sign of sending troops now. Obviously, they wanted to sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight to get a bargain.
After all, for the State of Chu, the four countries, Han, Wei, Zhao and Qi, attacked Chu together once last time, and were all true enemies.
Now the enemy is fighting in an enemy way, and the people of Chu are naturally happy to watch.
Zhao Dan felt that this behavior of Chu was too short-sighted. Han and Wei were originally eyeing Chu, and only Zhao could save Chu. Zhao would be doomed if he lost Chu.
Under such circumstances, the Chu people still insisted on being short-sighted. What is it?
Zhao Dan said this and suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, is there any news coming from Yan State?"
Zhao Dan had sent an envoy to Yan State more than a month ago, and logically speaking, he should have received a reply long ago.
However, Zheng Zhu's answer made Zhao Dan a little disappointed: "King, according to the envoy's latest reply, it is still impossible to see Empress Dowager Yan himself. It seems that Yan State is still hesitating."
Zhao Dan snorted and said, "It seems that the idea of Yan State is similar to that of Chu State. Zheng Qing, you immediately sent someone to Jidu as quickly as possible and told the envoy to stabilize Yan State. Even if Yan State cannot join me, Yan State must not be allowed to stand on Han Weiqi's side!"
Now there are enough enemies between Zhao State and Zhao Dan. If possible, Zhao Dan naturally doesn't want to have such one more, otherwise he would be a world-wide enemy.
It was at this moment that Yu Xin, who had always been silent and had no sense of existence, suddenly spoke.
"King, I have a plan. If it can be accomplished, I dare to guarantee that the king will win in this battle."
