Chu State is just a small trouble, while Zhao State is the real confidant of Qin State, so Fan Sui's attitude is very clear. At this critical moment, all the power should be used to overthrow Zhao State, instead of being wasted on Chu State. on the country.

As for the state of Chu, let him be arrogant for a while, and when the state of Zhao is cleaned up, can he be trained as he wants?

As soon as Fan Sui's words fell, several ministers of the Qin State echoed their voices. After all, few people who can take up this position are really fools. , then the time for everyone to express their opinions will naturally come.

But Qin Wangji did not immediately agree with Fan Sui's words, but frowned and thought for a while before he opened his mouth and said: "Fan Jun's meaning, I know it, but now the Zhao army on the front line of Changping refuses to fight, what should I do? Daqin's hope can only be placed in the hands of the Yan people?"

Although the distance between Qin State and Yan State is longer than the distance between Yan State and Zhao State, King Ji of Qin knew that Yan State's attack on Zhao State was two days earlier than Zhao Dan's. Immediately after that, a messenger was sent to inform Qin.

Although he already knew that Yan State sent troops, Qin Wangji still felt uneasy in his heart. After all, Yan State and Zhao State have been allies for decades. Who knows whether Yan State will be able to ruthlessly stand behind Zhao State? How many stabs?

If the strength of Yan State's attack on Zhao State is not as strong as that of Chu State's attack on Qin State, it will not be of much use.

Fan Sui said: "Did your Majesty forget the three strategies that I presented the day before yesterday? The Yan State defeated Zhao, but the minister was the one who made the move. If the strength of the Yan State alone is used, the success is still uncertain. But if the minister's strategy is superior If it succeeds, victory will be within my reach, Daqin!"

Everyone present knew what Fan Sui said was the best policy.

Say Wei Fa Zhao!

However, at this moment, Qin Wangji was not as happy as when he heard this "best policy" for the first time.

In fact, the spies of the Qin State had already reported the news that General Jin Bi of the State of Wei had brought [-] Wei troops to fish for several days in Yecheng, which is opposite the city of Handan, but he couldn’t even cross the river to attack Zhao. country!

If the State of Wei does not launch an attack on the State of Zhao, what is the use of having 100 million Wei troops in Yecheng?Zhao Guo will not suffer any damage because of this.

Not only that, relying on Qin State's well-developed network of spies and secret agents, Qin Wangji knew that Zhao State Prime Minister Bang Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng had already arrived in Daliang, the capital of Wei State, and was desperately using various means to persuade Wei Wangyu and the ministers of Wei State not to Send troops to Zhao Guo.

Undoubtedly, judging from the current situation, Zhao Sheng's actions have been successful so far, and Zhao Sheng's success is of course the failure of Qin Wangji and Fan Sui.

So Qin Wangji said: "The Wei people have not wanted to send troops for a long time, so what should be the explanation?"

Fan Sui smiled, and said: "In my opinion, Wei Wangyu is just a short-sighted person who pursues profit. The reason why he is hesitant is that the benefits given by the king to Wei are not enough. There are sages like Lord Xinling in Wei, so Wei Wangyu must The king of Zhi promised that Yong, the city of Wei, would be cut off from you. If the king is willing to lure him with generous profits, why worry that King Yu of Wei will not send troops to Zhao?"

To put it bluntly, Qin Wangji's eating habits were a little too ugly before.

Of course, if you want Wei to send troops, you have to give benefits, but Qin Wangji didn't give money, and he didn't return Wei's land. Instead, he promised South Korea's Yuanyong to Wei.

Isn't this playing Wei Wangyu like a monkey!

Of course, even so, Wei Wangyu, who was crazy about expanding the territory every day, was almost fooled by Longyang Jun's persuasion

But the problem is that the State of Wei not only has people who are not clear-headed like Wei Wangyu and Duan Ganzi, the Lord of Longyang, who are on Qin's side due to various factors, but also Wei Wuji, the Lord of Xinling, who is famous all over the world. Almighty!

Qin Wangji's diplomatic deceit can deceive others, but it is absolutely impossible to deceive Lord Xinling who is known for his talents.

According to Qin Wangji and Fan Sui's knowledge, the most important anti-Qin faction in Wei's political arena at this moment is the famous Lord Xinling.

It is precisely because two of the four gentlemen of the Warring States period joined forces that even though Wei Wangyu really wanted to go to war with Zhao Guo, he was still persuaded, and there is no reason why he has not fully made up his mind until now.

Under the joint efforts of Lord Pingyuan and Lord Xinling, the opposition to attacking Zhao in the court of Wei State was too loud at this moment, and even the momentum had already overwhelmed the faction in favor of attacking Zhao, so Wei Wangyu, who was originally indecisive, was naturally even more indecisive Indecisive.

In view of this, Fan Sui's meaning is very simple, since it is impossible to deceive Wei Wangyu, and the situation is so urgent now, then you should give something real to the people of Wei, and let the people of Wei work hard for us .

Qin Wangji pondered for a while, and said: "In Fan Jun's opinion, how can I lure Wei Guo to join the war?"

It's not a problem to give it back. After all, Qin Wangji also used this method of returning land to destroy the alliance of the six Shandong countries against Qin. This method has long been familiar.

For this question, Fan Sui already had an answer in his heart, and Fan Sui smiled slightly, and the mouth under the goatee spit out an answer that Qin Wangji did not expect: "Tao Jun!"

"Tao County?" As soon as the answer came out, not only Qin Wangji, but also every minister of Qin State present showed a surprised expression on their faces.

Chapter 76 A County for a Country

The reason why Qin's monarchs and ministers are like this is that Tao County is quite a special place for Qin.

Tao County is an enclave of the Qin State. The so-called enclave refers to a place that is not connected to the mainland of Qin State.

From the mainland of Qin State to the east, one must first pass through South Korea, and then pass through Wei State. It takes hundreds of thousands of miles to reach Tao County.

Why did the Qin State have such an enclave so far away from the mainland?This has to start with the Five Kingdoms 25 years ago.

The reason why the Five Kingdoms attacked Qi was that Qi State annexed Song State, which was sometimes known as the "eighth hero of the Warring States Period". Song State had three counties at that time, and Tao County was one of them.

If counting Chu State, which defected and betrayed Qi State, there are actually a total of six countries that divided Qi State.

After such a big carve-up, Chu State occupied a lot of land in the south of Qi State, Zhao State occupied a lot of land in the west of Qi State, Wei State occupied the three counties of Song State that had just been annexed by Qi State, and the biggest winner was Yan State, Under the leadership of a generation of famous general Le Yi, Yan State occupied all the territory of Qi State except Jucheng and Jimo.

Qin and South Korea, because they do not border Qi, have nothing to gain from this great carve-up.

South Korea was the weakest country among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period at that time, and it was also coerced by the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Wei to attack Qi.

But Qin State is different. You must know that before the Five Kingdoms conquered Qi, King Min of Qi called himself the East Emperor, and King Ji of Qin called himself the Emperor of the West. The Qin State, the Western Emperor, didn't get any benefits at all. How could Qin Wangji be happy?

Of course, in the long run, the biggest beneficiary of the Five Kingdoms’ invasion of Qi is actually Qin, just as the biggest beneficiary of the collapse of the Soviet Union’s Eastern Emperor was the American Emperor and Western Emperor, but at that time Qin had no visible benefits. It is also a fact that it was not caught.

So Qin Wangji decided to fight the autumn wind, no matter what, he had to get some benefits for Qin.

In the beginning, Qin Wangji's target of fighting the autumn wind was Zhao Guo, and Qin Wangji planned to let Zhao Guo spit out some benefits to Qin Guo.

Why Zhao Guo?The answer is simple, because after the collapse of Qi State, Qin Wangji set Zhao as the next enemy for his own Qin State, so of course Qin Wangji would like to weaken Zhao State.

Qin Wangji is also a thief. At the beginning, the benefit Qin Wangji wanted to extort from Zhao Guo was not the land, but a wall.

NCM.

From Qin Wangji's point of view, you, Zhao Guo, have gained so many benefits, you can't push back against a wall, right?If you don't give it, I, Qin Guo, will beat you!

But what Qin Wangji never expected was that Lin Xiangru appeared in Zhao State, not only put Qin Wangji in the same place, but in the end Lin Xiangru and He Shibi returned to Zhao State safe and sound.

This is the famous "returning perfect to Zhao".

Qin Wangji, who was put together, was naturally furious, and soon after Lin Xiangru left, he sent troops to attack Zhao, and he must give Zhao a good look.

However, what Qin Wangji never expected was that Le Yi, the commander-in-chief of the five kingdoms' campaign against Qi and also the prime minister of Yan and Zhao, would make a move.

Le Yi suspended the great cause of attacking Qi, and personally led the army of Yan State to join the army of Zhao to form the allied army of Yan and Zhao to fight against the army of Qin.

In the end, Le Yi was indeed worthy of being Le Yi. Under his wise command, the Yanzhao coalition forces besieged the Qin army in the forest, and the Qin expeditionary army was about to be wiped out.

In desperation, Qin Wangji and the then Qin Prime Minister Ranghou Wei Ran ceded land and paid compensation, and finally let Le Yi let Qin Jun have a way out, and let Qin Jun return to Qin in despair.

This is the "Qin soldiers trapped under the forest" recorded in the history books.

This incident caused a great shock to Qin's monarchs and ministers. It made Qin Wangji and Wei Ran realize the strength of the Yanzhao coalition army, and with the command of a famous general like Le Yi, even the mighty Qin could hardly compete.

So Qin Wangji and Wei Ran decided not to touch the hard bones of Zhao Guo after discussion, but to find a soft bone to gnaw on.

This non-touching lasted for 15 years. It was not until 16 years later that Qin State swallowed Chu, Han, and Wei almost completely, and with the foreshadowing of the Huayang War, Qin and Zhao began to enter the real war from the battle between Yan and Zhi. period of confrontation.
