"So, the King of Chu chose to take advantage of the situation and send troops to Qin?"

Even though Zhao He thought he had seen the storm, he was a little shocked at this moment.

What the hell, are you still choosing to kill each other at this time?

But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that the choice of King Chu is not incomprehensible.

After all, a unified dynasty had never appeared before. No one except Zhao He knew the true appearance of the unified dynasty.

Since birth, the concept people have accepted is the melee between princes. Perhaps the country is slowly decreasing, but unification? Even after Zhao He issued such a declaration, most people in the world still did not form this concept, let alone any warnings and actions for it.

Even based on historical inertia, they felt that Zhao was like the previous overlords Wei, Chu and Qi, which rose for decades and gradually declined or even died.

If we look at this view of "learning from history", then the State of Zhao is still in its just-rise and it seems that it is a wise choice to avoid its edge and not have conflicts with State of Zhao at this time.

Thinking of this, Zhao He couldn't help but shake his head. Empiricism kills people. I can only say that this is the so-called limitation of the times, right?

However, this is a real good thing for Zhao State.

Zhao He let out a long sigh and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Chu State would help me at this time. Gao Tangjun, tell me, what would happen if the King of Qin learned about this news?"

The King of Qin felt that his heart was about to explode.

On the main hall of Xianyang Palace City, the roar of the King of Qin echoed: "Xiong Heng, a brainless idiot, reckless man! Now that the enemy of the Three Jins is in front of him, it would be fine if he doesn't come to help me, but he is still sneaking into me at this time. It's simply shameless and extremely shameless!"

In the main hall, the ministers of Qin looked different, but none of them could be called happy.

In particular, Mi Rong, the king of Xincheng, was extremely excited and jumped out and said, "King, this Chu people are so ungrateful, and they must send troops to teach him a lesson! Otherwise, wouldn't the princes in the world really think that our Qin is weak and can be bullied?"

The King of Qin glanced at Mi Rong and sneered slightly in his heart. Of course he knew why Mi Rong was so excited, because Mi Rong's fiefdom was located in the Fangcheng place where the Chu people planned to regain, that is, in Nanyang County, Qin!

But no matter what, the attitude Mi Rong showed at this time was indeed exactly the same as the interests of the King of Qin.

Everyone fights for power, but whether it is Wei Ran or Mi Rong, they definitely do not want Qin to decline. It is because of this that the King of Qin can choose to tolerate the four nobles and Chu factions, and has not taken the risk of directly fighting to the death with these guys.

The King of Qin calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Since the people of Chu have already been called, we still have to deal with it. Do you have any plans? Just come!"

After the King of Qin finished speaking, there was silence in the hall.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to give face to the king. It’s really not optimistic about the situation facing Qin State now.

To the east, Meng Ao and his 150,000 troops were fighting against Han and Wei.

To the north, Le Cheng's southward journey forced Qin State to mobilize more than 50,000 troops to guard Xianyang and Guanzhong.

Apart from the 20,000 to 30,000 guards necessary in the Hanzhong area of ​​Bashu, Longxi and Hanzhong, although the Qin State now claims to be the second most powerful country in the world, it faces an embarrassing fact - there are no soldiers.

There is no way, mainly because Qin has not won many victories in recent years, and last year he lost 100,000 people in the Battle of Lianggou, which led to the situation where Qin is now short of troops.

As the saying goes, a clever woman cannot cook without rice. How can she resist the attack of the Chu people without soldiers?

This idea really can't be made.

Faced with this silence, the King of Qin hadn't said anything yet, but the Xincheng Jun Mi Rong couldn't sit still and said, "King, at this point, we can only continue to recruit troops and horses to resist the offensive of Chu first, and then wait until Yiyang wins, and then deal with the Chu people."

When the King of Qin heard this, he did not comment.

Although Meng Ao was not here, there were still people in the hall questioning Mi Rong's suggestion: "Xinchengjun is simple. I dare to ask Xinchengjun, where does this new force come from?"

Mi Rong snorted heavily and said, "Bashu, Hedong and Longxi can be recruited!"

The rebuttal continues: "The soldiers in Longxi are wild and not tamed, the soldiers in Hedong are mostly focused on the Wei State, and the soldiers in Bashu are dark and weak. The soldiers in these three places are still okay to defend the territory, but they are useless for fighting!"

Mi Rong sneered: "General Sima Cuo was able to use Longxi and Bashu troops to defeat Chu, but now he can't even resist the Chu army?"

For his fiefdom, Mi Rong also fought hard. His mouth was full of saliva and his firepower was fully opened, making the opponents speechless.

However, everything depends on whether the King of Qin agrees or not.

The King of Qin pondered for a while and said, "Then let's decide this way. Just draw some guards from Xianyang, just 10,000 people. From the recruitment of the three places Xinchengjun mentioned, no matter what, at least 50,000 troops will be collected. The task of these 60,000 troops is to defend Nanyang County!"

If it is extreme conscription, it would be more than enough to raise 50,000 troops in these three places. However, this conscription method will inevitably arouse dissatisfaction or even a small-scale civil unrest, affecting the Qin State's future rule over these places. Therefore, the King of Qin was unwilling to do this before, but now there is no way.

Thinking of this, the King of Qin's face became more gloomy and he said viciously: "When the matter of Yiyang is over, I must teach Chu a lesson so that Chu can know the consequences of betraying me!"

...

In Handan City, Fei Yi smiled and said, "I just received the news that the King of Qin recruited unlimited troops in Longxi, Bashu and Hedong, and summoned all the remaining young and middle-aged young people of the age to join the army. It seems that he is going to fight with the people of Chu."

Zhao He laughed out loud: "Watch, the more lively the fight, the better. Let's do this, just call the court today to discuss this matter."

Half an hour later, except for the general Le Yi, who led the troops, all the other important officials of Zhao State gathered together.

Zhao He asked Zhuxian to briefly explain the current situation to the ministers, and then said: "If you have any suggestions, just come on."

The ministers of Zhao State in the hall did not speak immediately, but were all trapped in thinking.

After a while, Si Kou Zhou said: "King, I think that as long as the Great Zhao maintains the current situation, he will sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. After all, the biggest goal of the Great Zhao is to destroy Yan State, and Qin State does not need to invest too much military force."

Zhao He refused to comment and said, "Do you have any other opinions?"

Several other people spoke one after another, and their opinions were basically consistent with Zhou Zhi.

But at this moment, the censor Lin Xiangru suddenly spoke: "King, I have an idea, I don't know if it is feasible."

Zhao He smiled and said, "It's okay, even if it's coming."

Lin Xiangru said: "Actually, I think that this time the war in Yiyang and Nanyang County will make the Qin State victorious."

After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar.

Zhao He also widened his eyes in surprise: "Let Qin win?"

Is this too nonsense?

Lin Xiangru smiled embarrassedly and said, "Yes. I really think so."

Zhao He: "..."

Is this the Lin Xiangru who returned the jade to Zhao? Could it be that he was stupid for me?

Zhao He stared at Lin Xiangru and said, "Tell me carefully."

No matter what, a king still needs to have the most basic qualities. Since he has said that he has made suggestions, he has to finish listening, right?

Lin Xiangru obviously had already thought about it and talked about it now.

"The king, my idea is actually very simple, that is for the future of Da Zhao."

"At present, Great Zhao is the most powerful country in the world and controls the Three Jin Alliance. It can be said that no country can compete with Great Zhao alone in this regard. Only the united princes is the real threat to Great Zhao. Therefore, for the interests of Great Zhao, the princes must not be united."

"Imagine if the Great Zhao really destroyed the Yan Kingdom this time, then the Great Zhao would have the land of the Three Kingdoms among the seven Warring States Periods, which would be extremely amazing for other vassal states. They are likely to join forces to attack the Great Zhao for this purpose, even the Han and Wei countries, which are still ally with the Great Zhao."

"So, Da Zhao must prepare for the future and find some ways to create deep conflicts between them, so that they cannot completely give up on their prejudices and unite, so as to create conditions for Da Zhao to defeat them in the future."

When Zhao He heard this, he couldn't help but speak, "So, this is why you plan to win the Qin State?"

Lin Xiangru nodded and said, "It's true that King is. Now that Qin is besieged by the four countries, the Qin king's personality is very vengeful and will inevitably hate the four countries. Great Zhao is the hegemony of the world, Qin, and he will not provoke it. Moreover, the main force of Great Zhao is also conquering Yan, and there is no conflict with Qin. Therefore, once Qin wins and occupy Yiyang, the Qin king will be very likely to immediately order Meng Ao to lead his army south to counterattack Chu."

"Once such a situation occurs, the conflict between Qin and Wei, Han and Chu will definitely become more and more intense. After Han and Wei were defeated by Qin, they will definitely choose the Three Jin Alliance led by Da Zhao in order to avenge their shame. Then the tactics of the king's defeat can not only come in handy, but also get help from Han and Wei."

After Lin Xiangru finished speaking, he bowed to Zhao He and said, "This is just an immature idea of ​​me. Please ask the king and the ministers to correct me."

The hall was quiet, and everyone was recalling what Lin Xiangru said just now and the feasibility of this sentence.

Zhao He was also thinking.

I have to say that after thinking about it carefully, Zhao He suddenly felt that Lin Xiangru's plan seemed to be a bit suspicious of "investors", but in fact, it was quite wonderful to savor it carefully.

First of all, if Qin defeats Yiyang, then Han and Wei will inevitably suffer great losses and lose troops and lose generals in Yiyang. In this case, Han and Wei will betray Zhao and attack Zhao together with Qin. This possibility is almost non-existent.

King Han and King Wei are also human beings, so can you be shameless?

Secondly, once Qin defeats Yiyang, Zhao He only needs to order Le Cheng to withdraw his troops (Anyway, Yiyang loses and keeps 20,000 cavalry, it is useless). Then Qin's only opponent is Chu.

With the character of King Zhao of Qin, Ying Ji, Chu State dared to resist for a thousand years, and resisted at such a critical moment. If the King of Qin did not take revenge and recover the situation, it would be unreasonable.

When the main force of Qin and Chu started a war, Qin could be said to have to beat Chu. Will the King of Chu cooperate with Qin to attack Zhao when he was beaten up?

The reason why Lin Xiangru's brilliant plan is that Qin seemed to have beaten Han Wei and Chu, achieved victory and land, and killed a large number of soldiers and horses, but it pushed all three possible potential allies of Han Wei and Chu to the side of Zhao.

The winner of Qin State became the only one who was alone and targeted!

Moreover, did Zhao State suffer any losses in this?

Nothing at all!

Zhao State will not lose a soldier or a soldier, or a city or a land, but it will have two or even three allies out of thin air.

If Zhao took advantage of the situation to attack Qin after destroying Yan State, the three countries of Han, Wei and Chu are most likely not to aid Qin State, but will instead stand on Zhao State and attack Qin State with Zhao State!

Is this too comfortable?

The more Zhao He thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Xiangru's plan was really... wonderful.

Not only Zhao He, but other ministers of Zhao State in the hall had already come to their senses and spoke one after another: "King, I think this plan is feasible."

"Master, why not give it a try."

"The king, the old minister agrees with this plan."

Zhao He let out a long sigh and glanced at Lin Xiangru.

It's true that he is Lin Xiangru, and he can think of this trick that is just like a genius.

Speaking of which, Zhao He found that he had some fixed mindset. Just because of his impression of Qin in his mind, he thought of suppressing Qin, but he didn't expect that sometimes he would take retreat as an advance, and the effect would be better.

Zhao He let out a long sigh and said, "Since all the ministers have no objection, then this matter is settled! Immediately, someone will send an order to Le Cheng, telling him not to enter the Qin territory too far, so as not to make dumplings by the Qin people if the Han and Wei coalition fail. As for this plan to win the Qin State, Lin Qing, as the proposer, let's do this matter with Zhu Xian."

After all, Han and Wei are all ally of Zhao. Such things that deceive allies are definitely shameful, so they can only come quietly. Then it is natural to let the spy leader, Zhao Xian, do this.

After making the decision, Zhao He also breathed a sigh of relief and was in a good mood.
