Chapter 113 Zhao He's Yang Conspiracy
"Yiqiu Kingdom?"
After hearing this name, the King of Qin was out of control for the first time.
Angry, hatred, surprise, doubt
At this moment, Zhao He saw many complicated emotions on the face of King Qin.
Yiqiu and Qin are old enemies.
The Yiqu Kingdom was established by a tribe named Yiqurong of the Rong tribe. It was founded about a few days before King Ping of Zhou moved eastward, and it has a history of nearly five hundred years.
Since Yiqu is located north of Qin, wars often broke out between Yiqu and Qin for hundreds of years, and overall, Qin has a slight advantage.
Since Shang Yang's reforms, Qin's national strength has increased greatly and the war against Yiqu has been victorious one after another.
Twenty years ago, the Qin State invaded Yiqu and captured twenty-five cities, greatly reducing the territory of Yiqu, and its territory was approximately equivalent to that of the current Song State.
But even so, Yiqu is still a country that can organize more than 20,000 cavalrymen. Even if it is weak, it can at least fight.
It is precisely because of this that when the two kings of Qin were established a few years ago, Queen Mother Xuan of the Great Qin Dynasty would sacrifice her health to win the support of King Yiqiu.
From this perspective, the current King Yiqiu can be regarded as the stepfather of the King of Qin, who is really nameless.
Not only that, Queen Mother Xuan has given birth to two sons to King Yiqiu in recent years.
Therefore, the Qin King's feelings for King Yiqiu were extremely complicated.
On the one hand, when King Yiqiu was fighting for the throne, his support for the King of Qin was indeed crucial.
On the other hand, King Yiqiu slept with the Queen Mother of Qin, Queen Mother Xuan, and asked Queen Mother Xuan to get pregnant and have a child. He put a cuckold on the King of Qin's dead father, which was comparable to the prairie, which also made King Qin lose face.
Zhao He looked at King Qin and couldn't help but smile and said, "What, does King Qin have any objections to this?"
The King of Qin narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao He: "Why did King Zhao choose Yiqiu?"
Zhao He smiled and said, "Taking down Yiqiu can make Da Zhao maintain enough deterrence to Qin."
Zhao He was very calm.
Yiqu is connected to the Shangjun, which is now occupied by Zhao State, and compared with Shangjun, Yiqu is closer to the Qin capital Xianyang!
Starting from Yiqu Capital, the brigade of cavalry was able to appear outside Xianyang City in just three days.
With Yiqu, Zhao State was condescending and occupied the advantage of the battle against Qin.
The King of Qin sneered and said, "King Zhao, I'm thinking too much, right? Do you really think that I will give in to Yiqu?"
Zhao He said seriously: "Of course it will. King Qin, the power of Yiqiu Kingdom is equivalent to the power of the Four Nobles. Could it be that the King of Qin is really indifferent to Wei Ran and the Four Nobles and others? The demise of Yiqiu is not a bad thing for the King of Qin, but a great good thing!"
The King of Qin was silent.
King Yiqu and Queen Mother Xuan are now in harmony, and Queen Mother Xuan is the biggest backer of the four nobles including Wei Ran in the palace.
The 20,000 Yiqu cavalry is not strong for the current Qin State!
But this force is too close to Xianyang after all, so close that if the King of Qin really wants to get rid of the four nobles, he has to take these 20,000 Yiqu cavalry into consideration.
This Yiqu Kingdom is a sharp knife of Wei Ran and other four nobles, hanging above the heads of King Qin and Xianyang!
However, if Yiqu is removed by Zhao State, then would it be better or worse for the more powerful Zhao State cavalry to be placed in Yiqu territory?
The King of Qin must consider these.
On one hand are aggressive domestic powerful officials, and on the other hand are increasingly powerful external enemies.
Which one should I choose?
Zhao He sat there with a smile, looking at King Qin, and was not in a hurry to urge him.
If you want to unify, you can't avoid it.
How to fight?
As a time traveler, Zhao He naturally cannot waste his historical knowledge in vain.
The cooperation and struggle between the four nobles including Qin Yingji and Wei Ran implemented most of the king's life.
Even Bai Qi was later sentenced to death, which was inseparable from this.
Zhao He now wants to use this to maximize his interests for Zhao State.
The King of Qin looked at Zhao He and said calmly: "What if I don't agree?"
Zhao He spread his hands: "Then there is nothing to talk about, we can only go back and prepare for the war."
Yes, Qin State does not agree, then just fight!
In order to regain key territories such as Wancheng and Puyang, Han and Wei will inevitably join Zhao.
When the three Jin Dynasties join forces, they will definitely have the advantage in terms of military strength.
After two battles between Shangjun, the Zhao army also had psychological advantages.
As for the generals, Bai Qi is indeed strong, but Le Yi is not bad either.
And don’t forget that Zhao Yong, the father of the State of Zhao, is also the top commander in charge today!
Zhao Yong plus Le Yi, and Zhao He, a time traveler, was about to start a war. Zhao He felt that although he was not sure to win, he was sure.
Zhao State can fight!
Facing Zhao He's confident gaze, King Qin was silent.
The Qin King said: "Isn't King Zhao afraid that the State of Qi will take advantage of the situation?"
Zhao He said: "The King of Qi is eager to fight between Zhao and Qin to the death. Moreover, if Zhao and Qin really fight with all their strength, will Qin think that just one Chu State can stop Qi's attack on Song State?"
The King of Qin frowned and said, "Even if I agree, when Zhao State sends troops, someone will want to save Yiqu."
Zhao He said with a smile: "So, Qin needs to launch a war against Chu, right? If the main force of the Qin army is fighting among Chu, then who will save Yiqu?"
The King of Qin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhao He deeply: "It seems that King of Zhao has taken everything into account."
Zhao He smiled and said, "The King of Qin praised it."
King Qin: ""
This King Zhao, are you praising you?
The King of Qin has seen it now.
Zhao He cannot be regarded as a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy!
But the most terrifying thing about open conspiracy is that you know and know the other party’s plan, but you have no choice but to step forward!
There was a sudden feeling of powerlessness in the King of Qin's heart.
He hated this feeling very much, but he knew better that at least now, he didn't have many choices.
Because, he is not the veritable King of Qin!
After a long time, the King of Qin said, "I agree to this matter. However, I cannot announce it in public."
Zhao He smiled and said, "That's natural. However, in order to have an explanation on the surface, Qin needs to return some less important cities to South Korea, and Puyang, the Wei State, can not return it."
The King of Qin glared at Zhao He and said, "Two."
Zhao He shook his head: "Two seats are too few, five seats."
The King of Qin also shook his head: "Three seats."
Zhao He slapped his thigh: "Trade."
The King of Qin suddenly stretched out his hand.
Zhao He was slightly stunned and then stretched out his hand.
Bang, bang, bang.
The two of them slapped three times on the table in front of them at the same time, and then slapped their palms together.
High-fives are the alliance.
The King of Qin stood up and said, "Since that's the case, there is no need to delay it. Details will be discussed in two days tomorrow and the ceremony will be held in three days."
Zhao He smiled and said, "Okay, then the King of Qin will walk slowly and will not send him off."
The King of Qin glanced at Zhao He again, and after several seconds, he turned around and left.
Obviously, he had to remember that the King Zhao in front of him who was only a young man.
During this talk tonight, Zhao He left a very deep impression on the King of Qin.
The King of Qin had a premonition that in the future, this young King of Zhao would become his strong enemy!
Zhao He smiled and watched King Qin leave.
Then, he let out a long breath, picked up his sleeves, and wiped his sweat.
"I'm so exhausted"
It’s not easy to plot against this King of Qin!
Fortunately, everything was achieved successfully.
In the darkness, Le Cheng quietly appeared.
"Where are you going now?"
Zhao He laughed, stood up, rubbed his numb calves.
"Go back and have a drink!"
In the dark night, Zhao He strides forward with his sleeves.
Chapter completed!
