Daqin: Zulong's Traveling Frog

Chapter 77 Fifty miles, or five hundred miles?
Zhangtai Palace.

Qin Wangzheng recruited a large army, and the soldiers came to Hangu Pass, intending to break through South Korea in one fell swoop.

[Ding, the little child sent an email, please check the host! 】

Qin Wangzheng looked delighted, and clicked on the system mailbox.

The lights in the picture are dim, and the cobwebs in the room are densely distributed, and the room is very gloomy, almost like a prison.

While the four lay on the straw mat and sighed, one stood up and turned his back to the crowd.

Although the back was only facing forward, the five people in the room could be seen to be murderous through the photos, which made Qin Wangzheng's face turn cold, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Qin Wangzheng clicked on the recording.

The recording is messy, except for the buzzing of mosquitoes, it is the sound of spiders weaving silk webs.

After a brief pause, there came a seasoned voice like a general: "King Zhao is shameless!"

The corners of Qin Wangzheng's mouth curled up, and he deeply agreed with his point of view, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Wangyan is shameless, and the lonely king will not share the sky with him."

Two years ago, after the young master Cheng Yu rebelled, he went to the State of Zhao and was granted a fiefdom by the King of Zhao!
Qin Wangzheng was furious about this, and vowed not to live with Zhao Wang.

There was a voice of persuasion in the recording.

"General, don't worry. Prince Dan will pass the news to King Yan!"

information?Yan Wang!
Qin Wangzheng frowned.

A few days ago, the Zhao State suddenly withdrew its troops. Could it be because of the sneak attack from the back of the Yan State?
Qin Wangzheng sneered and said: "Yan Wangxi has helped Gu Wang a lot!"

Since the Battle of Changping, after Bai Qikeng killed 40 Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun seemed to have been beaten up, and he rose up to resist.

If the two countries of Qin and Zhao fought, it might be a dead end. Yan Wangxi sent troops suddenly, which just avoided the fierce battle between the Qin and Zhao armies and preserved the main force of the Qin army.

It seems that Zhao Guo has set his sights on Yan Guo.

Qin Wangzheng was overjoyed when he heard the news about Xiaozhinu.

If Zhao's main force attacks Yan, then Qin can take the opportunity to attack Zhao!

However, the news of the dispatch of troops from Handan City has not reached Zhangtai Palace for a long time. Could it be that Zhao Guo is afraid?

The country of Yan is a small border country, which has long lost its former glory.

After the Battle of Changping, Yan State took advantage of the fire to loot and sent Li Fu and Qing Qin soldiers to attack Zhao in two directions. They were defeated by Lian Po and Le Cheng.

Three years ago, Yan Guo took advantage of Lian Po's expulsion and wanted revenge. He ordered Ju Xin to attack Zhao, but was defeated by Pang Nuan, and [-] Yan soldiers were captured.

The national power of Yan State was weakened, and it was always on the verge of extinction. It was just that Zhao Wangyan did not expect that Yan State was still alive and wanted to attack Zhao State with its weak strength.

Yan Guo is not afraid, but Zhao Wangyan wants to give Yan Guo a fatal blow.

It's just a fatal blow, and Zhao's main force needs to be assembled.

But Zhao Wangyan was worried about Qin's attack, so Zhao was attacked from both sides by Yan and Qin.

Therefore, the army of Zhao State was on the verge of Yishui, and it seemed to be deterring Yan State by not launching an attack for a long time.

When Qin Wangzheng begged for the development of the two countries of Yan and Zhao, and Qin was reaping the power of a fisherman, Zhao Wangyan sent envoys to Qin.

Qin Wangzheng tidied up his clothes, walked out of the study, put on the crown, came to the main hall, and said coldly, "Xuan Zhao's envoy enters the hall!"

The Zhao envoy entered the palace tremblingly, but his expression was restrained and calm. He cupped his hands and said, "The Yan State has betrayed its alliance and intends to invade the Zhao State's borders."

"The king of Yan likes to be unkind and unrighteous, and will be despised by all the people in the world. My king intends to crusade against the small country of Rong and Di, and I ask the king of Qin to abide by the covenant!
Qin Wangzheng's face darkened, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he said coldly: "You bastard!"

"Did the Zhao State envoy forget that a few days ago, the Zhao State army came to the other side of the Yellow River to confront the Qin army?"

Zhao envoy walked on thin ice, the hairs on his back stood up, his hair was quickly wet with cold sweat, he swallowed his saliva and said: "Korea bewitched my king, and treacherous ministers flattered my king, which made my king confused. Otherwise, how dare Zhao Guo offend the heavenly court?" Prestige?"

All civil and military officials looked fierce, accusing King Zhao of being faint and incompetent. The envoy Zhao suppressed the anger in his heart and let the officials of Qin State humiliate him. Who would make Zhao State ask King Qin for help?

After Qin's monarch and ministers vented their anger, the envoy of Zhao humbly apologized again, bowed his head and said: "My king is willing to offer the two cities of Yanhe and Muyang fifty miles to reconcile with Qin!"

Seeing that Zhao Guo offered fifty miles of land, Qin Wangzheng showed a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Zhao Guo knows the ceremony of diplomatic relations, knows how to cede land to seek peace, and surrendering to Qin is the morality of survival!"

It is indeed an insult to the state of Zhao, which is often engaged in military expansion, to cede land and become a vassal.

But after Zhao State annexed Yan State, its land area doubled and it could compete with Qin State.

As the saying goes, if you lose fifty miles and gain five hundred miles, why not do that?

Qin Wangzheng is naturally not a short-sighted person, he knows that Zhao Guo has other plans.

If you accept fifty miles and then cross the river and demolish the bridge afterwards, wouldn't you be besieged by all countries?

Qin Wangzheng did not resolutely agree, Dunruo seemed to see the worries in Qin Wang's heart, and said loudly to Zhao Shi: "Zhao Guo rewarded Li, Qin Guo should have returned it with peaches, but Zhao Guo launched the battle to destroy Yan, which is different from the past. It needs to be discussed by the monarch and ministers of Qin!"

Zhao Shi nodded slightly: "That's the case! Please, King Qin, make a decision early, so I can go back and deal with business!"

After Zhao Guo's envoys left, Qin Wangzheng discussed with the monarch and his ministers.

The ministers in the court were divided into two factions, one faction was in charge of the war, and instead of accepting Zhao's land and land, it immediately sent troops to annex the Zhao state together with Yan; Go to war, annex South Korea, then confront South Korea.

Qin Wangzheng looked at Dunruo without saying a word, then glanced at Dunruo with his peripheral vision.

All the officials were also keenly aware of King Qin's wink, and all became quiet.

Dunruo stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, fifty miles and five hundred miles, which one do you want?"

Qin Wangzheng smiled and replied without any hesitation: "Five hundred miles!"

Dunruo continued: "If you want five hundred miles, then you must not want five hundred miles!"

Qin Wangzheng thought that Dunruo would lead the battle, and that Qin and Yan would fight against Zhao together, but Dunruo shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, if you go to war openly, you will be resisted by the Zhao army. Even if you capture Zhao, you will suffer heavy losses. !"

Lord Changping was unconvinced and replied: "If you don't fight? How can you get hundreds of miles of land!"

Dun Ruo showed a sinister smile and explained: "Your Majesty, we can agree to Zhao Guo, but we will not take any land. We just need Zhao Guo not to intervene in the war between Qin and Han!"

"Then pretend to attack South Korea in a big way, so that King Zhao can relax his vigilance. When Yan and Zhao are in a deadly battle at the border, Qin will make a big attack, and the fertile land of Zhao, which is five hundred miles away, will be at your fingertips!"

Qin Wangzheng's eyes were shining with gold, and he said a few times: "Mr.'s plan is exactly what the lonely king thinks in his heart!"

The next day, when a hundred officials entered the court, Qin Wangzheng announced his plan, Zhao envoy agreed decisively, and rushed to send the news to Handan City.

After Zhao Wangyan heard the news, he was ecstatic, and immediately issued an edict: next spring will be the time for the army to crusade against Yan!
And Qin Wangzheng, who was far away in Zhangtai Palace, heard a mechanical voice in his mind.
