"Then when the envoy came to my country of Qin, what were the loyalties of the King of Han?"
Because of today's announcement, Zhang Liang's house arrest was temporarily lifted yesterday, and Zhang Liang also found out about the current situation of the Qin-Korean War.
Although the war has slowed down, and it is speculated that Ying Zheng or the King of Han want to negotiate a peace and cease the war, South Korea has lost most of its territory in the west.
But Lu Buwei's words reminded Zhang Liang of his previous mission.
He originally came to plead guilty and stop the war, but now that the war has broken out and South Korea has lost a large area of land, his mission has also changed accordingly.
Zhang Liang bowed and saluted, and the expression on his face gradually became formal.
"Foreign ministers are here, not only for South Korea, but also for Qin."
"Come here for the Qin Kingdom?" Lu Buwei's face was full of mockery, "You are just an envoy, but you still dare to speak arrogant words."
Zhang Liang's expression remained unchanged, and he said to Ying Zheng, "Please also ask the King of Qin to stop the unnecessary war, withdraw his army, return the land of South Korea to us, and restore the good relationship between Qin and South Korea."
Tsk~
"Hahaha"
When the ministers in the palace heard Zhang Liang's wishful speech, they all couldn't help laughing.
It seemed that I had misjudged him. What a gentle young man he was, he was just a whimsical boy with acne but no acne.
Ying Zheng raised his hand, and the laughter in the hall slowly stopped.
Looking at Zhang Liang, who still looked calm, Ying Zheng asked with interest, "I heard that you are the grandson of Prime Minister Han, so you should understand how ridiculous your words just now are."
Zhang Liang looked at Ying Zheng. This was the first time he heard Ying Zheng speak after entering the palace. Although his tone was calm, it made people feel that his words were unquestionable.
"The six countries in the East, Qin State is adjacent to Zhao, Wei, Han, and Chu. Although Qin State has invaded South Korea now, a large number of Qin troops are located in various cities, which means that Wei and Chu can jointly attack these Qin troops at any time.
At that time, the Qin army in South Korea will be isolated and helpless, and will be cannibalized step by step by Wei and Chu until it is completely wiped out, and how many troops will Qin lose?"
Although it was not clear how many troops Qin had used to attack South Korea when we inquired about the news, judging from the fact that most of the western region was captured so quickly, the number of Qin troops was at least 100,000.
This is also a large number for Qin State.
But in fact, there were only 60,000 to 70,000 troops actually attacking South Korea. The main reason was that South Korea was too vulnerable.
Ying Zheng said nothing, but looked at Zhang Liang calmly.
This made Zhang Liang wonder if there was something wrong with what he just said, but after thinking about it carefully, although it was far-fetched, it was something that could happen.
"The envoy thinks that Wei and Chu still have the courage to attack our country Qin?" Ying Zheng just smiled contemptuously. "The envoy thinks that if I destroy South Korea, will Wei and Chu send troops?"
Zhang Liang was still just a pure and innocent little Liangzi, not yet the highly resourceful Third Master in the future, but he was so aroused by Ying Zheng that he couldn't help but hide his inner thoughts.
"If King Qin really wants to destroy Korea, although Korea has been cannibalized by Qin, its area is not large, but it has steep mountains and dangerous rivers, strong cities and deep ponds, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. If Qin wants to conquer Korea, it will not be accomplished overnight. In
Under this situation, all countries will agree to Zhao Guo's request to join forces to resist Qin."
Zhao is now the only country that can compete with the Qin army on a frontal battlefield.
At the time of Pang Nuan, he advocated the restoration of the previous "unity and vertical" strategy to resist Qin, which led to the last Five Kingdoms attack on Qin.
Although it failed in the end, it at least gave Zhao Guo hope. At least the 'union' strategy was feasible.
It is a pity that after the last Five Kingdoms conquered Qin, the alliance fell apart.
Zhang Liang's words were to use South Korea's life-and-death predicament to arouse other countries' fear of Qin, and then it did not mean that they would once again "join forces" to jointly fight against Qin.
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said nothing.
In this regard, Zhang Liang continued to analyze:
"Qin should immediately stop its aggression against South Korea, then show goodwill to Wei and Chu, and cut off the exchanges between the two countries with Zhao. In this way, the hidden dangers of cooperation can be eliminated, and Qin can vigorously attack Zhao."
Zhang Liang's words are intended to divert trouble to the east, which is quite similar to the remarks of a political strategist, using interests, national conditions, and situations to constrain strong countries and preserve weak ones.
It’s not like Qin State attacked Zhao once or twice. What’s more, Zhao State is different from South Korea. Zhao State is capable of fighting Qin State and will not be unilaterally suppressed like South Korea.
However, this is no longer the era in which Zhang Yi and Su Qin lived, where force was the principle of vertical and horizontal rule. Therefore, Zhang Liang was alarmist about the consequences of attacking South Korea and exaggerated the threat to Zhao.
Ying Zheng still said nothing.
He didn't really believe Zhang Liang's words, but he was thinking about whether Zhang Liang's words came up on his own or if someone else taught him.
If he came up with it himself, it means that Zhang Liang also has great talents and can be entrusted with important tasks.
Lu Buwei saw that Ying Zheng was deep in thought and did not refute Han Fei's words, so he said, "South Korea is just the weakest country among the seven countries. Like Yan, it is like grass on the wall, falling wherever the wind blows."
"Compared with Zhao, Wei, Chu, and Qi, they can be regarded as Qin's rivals. Yan and Han are nothing more than stumbling blocks in the journey, but just an extra step of effort."
Zhang Liang was speechless.
What Lu Buwei said was true, and he had no way to refute it.
However, Zhang Liang wanted to preserve his mother country, South Korea, but the objective conditions of Qin being strong and South Korea being weak determined that Zhang Liang's words were feeble. Zhang Liang also made his last effort on the diplomatic front for South Korea.
As long as South Korea is stronger, even if it is not as powerful as Qin, it can at least affect the war situation to some extent and can act as a stir-up stick, then Zhang Liang's strategy will not look full of powerless and desperate struggle.
Zhang Liang did not choose to answer Lu Buwei's words, and turned to look at Ying Zheng.
"King Qin, if Han dies, Qin will lose a barrier and will be alone against the three powerful countries. If we withdraw our troops today and save Han, Qin will reduce the pressure it faces."
Lu Buwei wanted to reply a few more words, but he heard the King of Qin speaking.
"The envoy has thought deeply about our country, Qin. He really deserves to be here for our country. But it can be seen that when the envoy came to our Qin State, Qin and Han had not yet started war. How did the envoy come up with these strategies?"
Zhang Liang gave a gift.
"What I heard and heard is just a rough guess by foreign ministers."
Ying Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, which showed that Zhang Liang indeed had real talent, and his love for talents immediately aroused.
"South Korea is still too small after all. Why don't you serve me as a great Qin? Just like a horse always likes to gallop on the vast grassland."
Zhang Liang was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Ying Zheng actually wanted to recruit him, so he declined politely, "Foreign ministers heard that Qi Dafei was not a coincidence. They were concerned about the previous imperial edict and feared that they would not dare to climb high."
Duke Xi of Qi planned to betroth his daughter Wen Jiang to Ji Hu, the crown prince of Zheng. Although Prince Hu had made many meritorious deeds by aiding his friendly country Qi, he was not proud of himself. Especially when it came to marriage, he understood that with the strength of himself and his country, It was far from the powerful Qi State. Therefore, this was an unequal marriage, so he rejected the marriage.
Ying Zheng groaned and didn't force it.
Now that I have already started soliciting, I will not mention it a second time.
As the king of the Qin Dynasty, he does not lack talents, but he just feels a little pity.
