Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 372 In the name of saving Zhao, counterattack Shicheng!

The ministers in the hall were also talking a lot.

The three border gates of Langmeng, Julu, and Shicheng Zhao were all breached by the Qin army. This news can be said to have given them a huge impact.

You must know that not long ago, the armies of the four countries gathered millions of troops and attacked Qin's Hangu Pass. Although Zhao, Han, Yan, and Wei were ultimately defeated, Qin also suffered heavy losses.

But who would have thought that in less than a month, Qin once again launched a clarion call for counterattack, and even broke through Zhao's border defense line in one fell swoop.

And as the border of Zhao State is breached by the Qin army, Zhao State will also fall into danger. What is even more frightening is that once Zhao State is destroyed, the original stable situation of the world will inevitably be affected, and even break the current situation. There is a situation.

How can this still make the ministers and the King of Wei sit still!
In the main hall, noisy sounds kept ringing!

Zhao Zhi stood there with incomparable resentment in his heart, his eyes were full of anger, and his face was extremely gloomy.

Now the fate of Zhao State is completely in his hands. No matter what, today he must persuade the King of Wei to send troops to help Zhao. Zhao State will inevitably perish. Where can these ministers go?

After the Zhao State's border pass was broken, the Qin army would inevitably march forward again, attacking garrisons in other places in Zhao State along the way, plundering the city, and finally joining forces with the other two armies to launch a final offensive against Daijun, the capital of Zhao State.

In this way, Zhao State will be completely finished!

Zhao Yong felt extremely sad and lost, and at the same time, a deep sense of powerlessness surged into his heart.

The strength of the Qin State is too powerful, and it is far beyond what the Zhao State can withstand.

Once the Qin army gathers three armies to attack Dai County...

and many more!

At this moment, Zhao Yong suddenly reacted and a light flashed in his eyes.

The Qin army successively broke through three border passes of Zhao State, and even did not hesitate to plunder other cities in Zhao State in order to completely destroy Zhao State. In this way, the Qin Army will inevitably march northward!
In other words, the Qin army will take away most of its troops, while Zhao's border gates and many other cities will not leave too many troops to defend.

At this time, if someone can lead a large army to directly attack the Zhao border gates, and then cooperate with the Zhao people in the city, they will surely be able to capture the unstable border gates in a very short time. And in these three border cities, , the most important thing is Shicheng.

As long as Shicheng is taken, it is equivalent to blocking the Qin army's retreat path. The Qin army has been fighting for half a month, and with the reinforcements from Wei and South Korea, it is expected to be able to destroy these Qin armies in one fell swoop.

But now that he is in Wei State, why not inform the King of Wei of this idea and ask him to order someone to lead a large army to counterattack Shicheng.

I just don’t know if King Wei will agree?

But at the moment, Zhao Guo's life and death are on the line, and he can't care so much anymore.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yong suddenly raised his head, listened to the Wei monarchs and ministers who were still talking around him, looked at the King of Wei who was standing above him, and said in a loud voice: "King of Wei, although our Zhao country's border pass was breached by the Qin army, But King Zhao has assembled all the available forces in the country and plans to fight Qin to the death."

"As long as the King of Wei is willing to send troops to help Zhao State repel the Qin army, our King promises that fifteen cities will be divided among Wei and South Korea."

In the main hall, King Wei and many ministers were slightly surprised when they heard what Ambassador Zhao said.

Unexpectedly, King Zhao would spend such a high price in order to defeat Qin!

The temptation of the fifteen cities is certainly great, but how could they not know the strength of the Qin army?
If there is no absolute certainty, rushing to help will only make Wei fall into it.Moreover, being able to break through the Zhao border in such a short period of time is enough to prove the strength of this Qin army.

King Wei, who was sitting above, was also in a very complicated mood. He looked around at His Highness's ministers with a heavy face, wanting to seek the opinions of other ministers before making a choice.

But to no avail!
Zhao Yong looked at the hesitant King Wei and many ministers, immediately stepped forward, and spoke his inner thoughts to King Wei with awe and confidence:

"King Wei, the Qin army only has 15 troops. If they break through the border gates of Zhao State this time, they will definitely suffer a lot of losses. Moreover, if the Qin army wants to destroy our Zhao State, they will definitely continue to send their troops north as soon as possible and destroy the majority of the people in the border cities." All the troops were taken away, so there must not be many troops left in the border cities, and among the border cities, the stone city in the center is particularly important!"

"Besides, the Qin army has just taken control of Shicheng at this time and must not have established a solid foundation. If King Wei can send a large army to attack Shicheng immediately at this time, he will surely be able to capture Shicheng in one fell swoop!"

While Zhao Yong was speaking, his eyes were constantly observing the expressions of the surrounding ministers and King Wei. Seeing that no one came out to stop him, he continued to speak loudly:

"If the King of Wei can capture Shicheng for me, the State of Zhao, I, the State of Zhao, are willing to make peace with the State of Wei forever, and will cut off five separate cities as a token of gratitude afterwards. The King of Wei does not have to worry about our State of Zhao going back on his word, as long as the King of Wei can capture it. Stone City, that stone city is imprinted in the territory of Wei State."

"By then, even if Zhao failed to repel the Qin army and was really destroyed, wouldn't Wei's territory have been greatly expanded? Even your country can use tall and solid stone cities as a barrier to resist the Qin army's offensive !”

After Zhao Yong finished speaking, he looked at King Wei with an extremely confident face, waiting for King Wei's answer.

Zhao Guo paid such a high price, and he did not believe that King Wei could continue to remain calm and indifferent.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhao Yong's proposal, King Wei and many ministers were shocked and looked at him with somewhat horrified expressions.

I have to say that there is some truth in what Ambassador Zhao said!
Now the destruction of Zhao is imminent. Once Zhao is destroyed, the war between Wei and Qin will be inevitable.

Rather than letting Wei sit and wait for death, it is better to take advantage of this moment to annex Zhao's territory to strengthen Wei's strength, and in turn have the capital to fight the Qin army.

Even if Shicheng cannot be taken, the many cities south of Shicheng and close to the Wei border can definitely be taken!
Especially the original capital of Zhao State, Handan!
As long as Handan and other surrounding cities can be captured, Wei's strength will be greatly improved.

Moreover, there are not many Qin troops stationed in Handan City at all, so it will be easy to capture it!
Especially now at the critical moment of the war between Qin and Zhao, Qin has no time to care about others. It is a good time to occupy territory and increase its strength!

If we can counterattack and capture Handan and Shicheng together, it will be a great improvement for Wei.

Handan was originally the capital of Zhao State, occupying an excellent terrain and extending in all directions. Taking Handan was equivalent to adding a solid barrier to protect the entire northern border of Wei State.

Handan is not far from Daliang or Shicheng, the capital of the King of Wei. It can echo each other from a distance. Zhejiang greatly enhances Wei's strategic position!
With the two barriers of Shicheng and Handan, if the Qin State wanted to attack the Wei State, it would have to spend a lot of effort, and even pay a huge price to capture it.

At this moment, the favorite minister Long Yangjun who was standing at the bottom of the hall took the lead and walked out of the crowd. Although he was a handsome man and deeply loved by King Wei, he was not without talent.

On the contrary, Long Yangjun not only had a very high understanding of political affairs, but also had extremely superb swordsmanship. He even had a fight with Ge Nie when he traveled to Wei.

In the end, Gai Nie was defeated in his hands.

At this time, not only King Wei, but also Lord Long Yang also clearly understood that if Shicheng could be captured, it would definitely be a very important thing for Wei.

"Your Majesty, what Ambassador Zhao said is true. I suggest that we should immediately send out a large army to counterattack Shicheng while the Qin State has no time to take care of him!"

Before he finished speaking, Wei Zhan, who was standing on the side, also came out: "Your Majesty, I also agree that we should immediately send reinforcements to attack Shicheng in the name of saving Zhao!"

Wei Zhan is in charge of the military and political affairs of the Wei State and is now the general of the Wei State. He also knows very well what it means to the Wei State if he can really capture a royal city!
