Chapter 7 Blackmail

South Korea just wanted to determine how Chu would deal with Qi. After all, there was no close interaction between Han and Chu. After getting the answer, Han Fei could return to the country and brought Xiong Jing's suggestion of "not burning the disciple's salary". Zhao and Wei had other ideas, but many things were not done as they wanted. For example, Qi, Chu, Wei and Zhao joined forces again, and Chunping Hou specially sent Sikong Ma and Ge De.

The Qin army has attacked Zhao for more than a year. Most of the Zhao land in the south of the Fushui River, which originated from Shigu Mountain in Handan, was owned by Qin. The Fushui River flowed into the Yellow River in the south of Hejian. Originally, Zhao and Qi used the Yellow River as the boundary, but now most of the cities and towns in the south of the Fushui River were captured by the Qin army, and Zhao and Qi squeezed into the Qin State.

Before annexing the Yan State, the territory of Zhao State south of Dai Land could be regarded as a short-sleeved T-shirt. Handan was on the hem of the clothes, Taihang Mountains and the Yellow River flowing to the north, Yan Country on the north and Qi State on the south, and Yan Country on the left, short-sleeved on the left, short-sleeved on the west and Yan Country on the east. The current situation is that Qin State took scissors and cut a hard cut along the Great Wall of Zhao in the center of the hem of the clothes along Handan and the Zhao Great Wall in the south of Handan, and then went up (to the right). The body was almost half subtracted, and the width was no longer as good as the sleeves.

The north of the Yellow River and south of the Fushui River are occupied by Qin. The width is less than 100 miles north of the Fushui River and south of the Hutu River is less than 100 miles. Sikongma's previous strategy was to ced the Hutu River to Qin, which was equivalent to cutting a cross-cut from the chest, with a pair of sleeves left on it and a collar added. This collar can probably cover the breasts. Now that the Qin army occupied the Fushui River, it can still cover the breasts.

Is it more and more that it will continue to fight hard with the Qin army for half of its body, or to comfortably ced the south of the Hutuo River, leaving a collar covering the breasts decently, which is becoming increasingly a problem.

Chunping Hou was not Zhao Yan. He fought for half of his body, and even more for Handan. However, more and more ministers in the country believed that it would be enough to have a decent collar. After more than a year of fierce battle, the Zhao people died and injured countless people. So what if they saved Handan's half of his body?

Moreover, Jingxing, one of the eight passes of Taihang Mountain, has been occupied by the Qin army. Jingxing is under the left armpit, south of the Hutuo River. From here, he cuts the knife eastward, which happened to be the location where Sikongma suggested to cede the land. He took the initiative to cede the land, and the Qin State had a great possibility of agreeing to peace agreement. When the Qin army exited from Jingxing east and attacked and attacked by itself, the result might be that even north of the Hutuo River could not be preserved.

Because the Qin State captured the south of the Fushui River, Pingyuanjin had become Qin territory, and Sikong Ma and Ge De could only go north and enter Qi from Fuyang where the Yellow River entered the sea. They arrived in Linzi later than Han Fei.

Sikong Ma, who was visiting Xiong Jing in the Mingtang, suddenly stunned. He remembered the short figure jumping passionately in front of the Chu army five years ago. Now, the short figure has grown up back then. The dark-skinned color that is different from the noble man not only does not make people feel ugly, but also makes people feel healthy. When his eyes are calm, they are as light as water, and when he looks at them, they are as sharp as a knife. The bridge of the nose is straight and straight, just like the five-foot sword placed on Lan Qi. The only flaw is that there is no long beard and there is only a circle of fluff on his lips.

What puzzled Sikong Ma when he recalled this was: this was obviously a young man, but his intuition told him that this was an adult. Now, the adult's eyes were facing him like a knife, with doubts.

"Why didn't Zhao say anything?" The language was a little childish, and the blade flashed and quickly entered the sheath, and his eyes became dull again.

"My...," Sikong Matthew made a comeback. "Ah! I remember that I was fighting against the king five years ago on the banks of the Qingshui River in Chu State, and I couldn't help myself."

"Five years ago?" Xiong Jing did not breathe too much like Sima Kong. There was a hint of imperceptible haze in his eyes. He thought of his father.

"Five years ago, I was a Qin minister, and I was among the Qin army, and I was the guardian of the general Meng Wu." Sima Kong said. "Xiang Yan caused the Qin army to fall into a vassal. Meng Wu wanted to retreat, and I denounced him and sent him not to retreat."

"Oh?!" The Battle of Qingshui has become history and has been made into a case by Yingdu Military Academy. However, no one knew what Meng Wu thought when the Qin army was in trouble, so Xiong Jing was very surprised by Sikong Ma's words.

"Marquis Wenxin attacked Chu was an unscrupulous move." Speaking of Lu Buwei Sikongma, he sighed again. "The King of Qin wanted to destroy the six kingdoms, but Marquis Wenxin did not want to attack Chu was a dispute over the power of Qin. I angrily denounced Meng Wu for not allowing the Qin army to retreat, but only for the Qin army to be defeated. The King Yingwu defeated the Qin army, which is the blessing of Chu and the blessing of the world."

In the war five years ago, the Qin army only Meng Wu, who was involved in the Qin army, knew what was going on. Sima Kong's words did not make Xiong Jing feel much grateful. Moreover, his words were contradictory. Lu Buwei attacked Chu to attack Zhao Zheng's support, or Zhao Zheng used the foreign relatives of Chu. As a disciple of Lu Buwei, he should hope that Meng Wu would win. How could he hope that Meng Wu would fail?

Xiong Jing politely bowed to Sikong Ma Tu, asked him to sit down before asking: "Qin State is urgent to attack Zhao Ri, how about Zhao State?"

"Report to the king, Zhao State is about to perish." Speaking of Zhao State Sima Kong described the sadness.

"Willing die?" Xiong Jing was slightly moved and understood randomly that this was Sikong Ma's exaggerated word.

"That's right." Sima Kong said. "The Qin State is poor and millions of soldiers are trying to attack Zhao, and Zhao State is about to perish."

"There is a danger of Taihang in the west of Zhao State, and the Zhang River in the south and the protection of the Great Wall, how can it perish?" Xiong Jing sneered a little.

"The king was wrong. Last year, the general Hu Zi was defeated in Pingyang, and the Zhao army beheaded 60,000 people; until last year, the Qin State has been attacking continuously, and many Zhao soldiers have been destroyed. The Zhao army can only defend the Great Wall, north of the Wushui River. However, if the Qin army crossed the Wushui River and merged with the Qin Jingxing army east and west in Yi'an, the Zhao State will be destroyed." Sima Kong sighed.

The Hutuo Water along the eastward Taihang River can cut off all the body on the south side, leaving only one collar and two sleeves. Follow the Fengshui River to the north side of the Fengshui River, with Changcheng (now northwest of Jizhou, Hebei) as the boundary, there is Julu Ze to the south, Julu Ze to the south, Julu Ze to the south, Julu Ze to the south, and Julu to the south, Guangping to the south, Chengxiang, Liemen, and Liemen to the south is Handan. The big city makes it impossible to detour behind Handan easily.

The Qin army could only detour north of Changcheng, which was above the chest. Moreover, there was still a piece of residue directly above the cut part, including Fuliu, Changcheng, Guanjin, Wuyi and other cities. Cross the water to pull out these cities, and then cross the water to reach the plain where Yi'an and Quyang are located. When attacking here, Handan was surrounded and Zhao was divided into two parts.

Xiong Jingchang looked at the map of Zhao State. If the Qin army on the southern route and the Qin army on the middle route converge on the Yi'an Plain, Zhao State will naturally perish, but in fact it is not that simple. The Yellow River diverts in Yajin (now southwest of Puyang, Henan). The one divided by Zhaoqi is the main river. The other one goes north, crosses the east of Zhao Great Wall, and merges with Zhangshui and the Fushui River to the north. After the convergence, the Fushui River comes out north of Juluze and flows east into the main river of the Yellow River. The rest continues to go north to merge with the Lishui, Huaishui and other waters north of Juluze, passes through Changcheng, and is at the lower Bo, and merges with the Hutuo River in Wusui (not Wusui of Yan State, but now Wuqiang, Hebei) and flows east into the sea.

It is said that you want to march there and there, which is a matter of opening and closing. Real marching and fighting requires not only considering mountains and rivers but also the water system. There are no river channels in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and only after each country builds a dike. Even if there are river channels, the river water often seizes the river channels. If the Qin army wants to detour Handan, it not only needs to cross the Fuliu and Changcheng, but also force the crossing of the Yellow River tributaries. This is obviously impossible. The tributaries are affected by water and the river surface becomes very wide after the Huai Water is injected into it, and the intensity is not easy.

When Xiong Jing smiled, Sikong Ma finally showed his killer move. He bowed and said, "Does the king know that Zhao State wants to cut the south of the Hutuo River and the land between the rivers from Qin State to seek peace? If the king does not save Zhao, Zhao can only bribe Qin to exist. In this way, Qin will definitely attack Chu."

"South of Hutuo Water?" Xiong Jing recalled the map of Zhao State and couldn't help but breathe a breath of cold air. The south of Hutuo Water was exactly north of Jingxing. Zhao State really wanted to ced the south of Hutuo Water. The east of Wusui was the Yellow River tributary as the boundary, and the west of Wusui was the Hutuo Water as the boundary, so he could indeed defend the river. Qin State got land and negotiated peace with Zhao State, and the Qin army was about to turn.

Xiong Jing's reaction was in mind. Sikong Ma wanted this effect. To put it nicely, this is asking for help, but to put it badly, this is a threat: If you don't save me, I will harm myself. At worst, you can die together.

"What does Zhao State want to do? It's a matter of Zhao State, it has nothing to do with Chu State." Xiong Jing shrank his pupils and his eyes turned into blades. He was not angry, but just said calmly: "Send out the guests."

"King..." Sikong Malai thought of countless solutions before, but he didn't expect Xiong Jing would order to see off the guests. With the gift from the gurus, he shouted: "The king really wants Zhao State to cede land and bribe Qin but not save Zhao? The king really wants Zhao State to cede land..."

"King..." Xiong Jing was not alone in the Mingtang, there were also Ku Guang, Jin Yi and others. They were still thinking about whom Zhao would cede land and ask for the Later Qin Kingdom to attack next, and Xiong Jing was already expelled.

"Shameless!" Xiong Jing cursed, feeling angry.

Before, Zhao Yan was in charge of peace. After Chunping Hou took office, he did not clean up his previous ministers, such as the Grand Tutor Guo Kai, Sikong Ma and others. This means that there are any disturbances in Zhao, Qin must know. In view of this, even if Chu wants to save Zhao, Zhao cannot be known - the Chu army sent troops to the water route. Although there are other water systems outside the gulf that connects the Yellow River, as long as you are willing to work hard, Qin can block all these rivers, and it is extremely difficult to clear the blocked rivers.

"King, Zhao State bribed Qin, Qin had no faith, and Zhao was destroyed." Vulcan did not believe that Qin State would negotiate peace with Zhao State.

"The king. Zhao State bribed Qin and actually asked for help. If all countries do not listen, all countries will be in danger." Jin Yi's mood became more peaceful. Since the Warring States Period, there was no shame but only more shameless. Sima Kong's behavior was nothing.

"Please ask the king to summon Xinling, and Qi Dynasty to discuss with each other. If not, Zhao State bribes Qin, either Zhao State will soon perish, or Qin will attack Qi and Wei." Jin Yi said again. He did not think that this was the matter of the Chu State's family, but the affairs of the Chu State's three kingdoms.
