Daqin: Prince Peerless, guarding Hangu for ten years!

Chapter 384 Guo Kai makes another plan to provoke Qi Qin!
And this time.

In the palace of King Zhao.

Zhao Yu, the guard general of Daijun, was kneeling in front of the couch. He had just informed King Zhao of Daijun's situation truthfully and was now waiting for King Zhao's order.

King Zhao, who was lying on the couch, was filled with relief after learning that the soldiers in the city were determined to fight to the death.

He did not expect that in the face of the powerful strength of the Qin army, there would still be so many Zhao people who would defend the royal city to the death. This move also rekindled a glimmer of hope for him who was already despairing.

If he could be given a few more years to develop Zhao State to its peak again and train more powerful generals, Zhao State might also be able to fight Qin.

Unfortunately, time waits for no one!

At this moment, Qin's [-] troops have arrived outside the city, although they have not launched an offensive against them yet.

But he knew very well that these Qin troops were waiting for Ying Jun's army to arrive. Once all the Qin troops gathered together to launch an offensive against Daijun, the more than [-] Zhao people in the city would not be able to fight back at all.

Could it be that he, a noble king of his generation, would be reduced to the point of abandoning the city and fleeing?
"Report!"

At this moment, a soldier ran in from the outside with hurried steps and shouted, kneeling on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the Qin army outside the city has surrounded the three exits of Daijun. Completely monopolizing our army’s retreat!”

When Zhao Wangyan heard this, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted. He stood on the throne with a pale face.

At this moment, how could he not understand that Qin was well prepared.

Now the entire Dai County is completely blocked by the Qin army, and even the previous ministers may not be able to escape.

Does the Qin State intend to completely wipe out their Zhao State?

Thinking of this, Zhao Wangyan took a deep breath and shouted with a sad face: "Is the country of Zhao, the country of the poor, going to perish first?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of hasty footsteps at the door.

Immediately afterwards, Guo Kai led countless court ministers into the dormitory.

In the blink of an eye, the originally empty hall was filled with people. Their faces were ashen and their hearts were full of despair.

Guo Kai, who was standing at the front, did not expect that the Qin army would come so quickly, without giving them any chance to escape.

Now the entire Dai County has been completely blocked by the Qin army, and they can't escape at all.

At this point, the only option is to fight to the death with the Qin army!

The expression on Guo Kai's face was the first to recover, and then he stepped forward and comforted him: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry for the time being. According to my observation, most of the Qin troops outside the city are cavalry, and they will not attack me in the short term." If there is any threat to the country, as long as we defend the city, it is impossible for these cavalry alone to attack Daijun!"

"Since these Qin troops are determined to completely destroy our Zhao country, we can't just sit back and wait for the Qin troops to attack!"

When King Zhao heard this, he turned to look at Guo Kai who was standing below, and asked: "Prime Minister, do you have any other options now that things have happened?"

Guo Kai nodded. He originally thought that he could escape safely, or go to other countries, or find a remote place to spend the rest of his life, but he didn't expect the Qin army to arrive so quickly. All the thoughts he had about living the rest of his life came to nothing:

"Your Majesty, although the Qin army outside the city will not pose a threat to our Daijun in the short term, as soon as Yingjun's army arrives, they will definitely launch an offensive against our Daijun. Now we are left with less than three Days of time.”

"There are now [-] troops in the city. Even if the Qin army launches an attack, it will not be able to break through it in a short time. What we want to do now is to continue to ask for help during this period!"

"Ask for help?" King Zhao was slightly stunned and looked at Guo Kai with a puzzled expression.

Zhao had already asked for help from Wei, Han, and Chu before, but they did not expect that these three countries would not send troops to help Zhao. Each of them was afraid of Qin's strength and did not dare to offend Qin.

Even the King of Chu, who had the largest military strength among the six kingdoms, openly rejected them.

Even the Chu State is unwilling to offend the Qin State for their Zhao State. Which country among these countries dares to face Qin directly?
King Zhao sighed deeply, his face full of helplessness and resentment, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

Wei, Han, and Zhao are all three Jins, and they should have been united as one, but now they are in a situation where they have to take the lead in a big disaster.

If I had known this, it would have been better for Zhao State to directly destroy Wei and Han to increase its strength.

In this way, the Qin army will not be able to fight back at all.

Many ministers standing below the dormitory hall could not help but shake their heads, and a sense of helplessness surged into their hearts.

Guo Kai looked at the desperate expressions on everyone's face and continued to say to King Zhao: "Your Majesty, although the three countries of Wei, Han and Chu are unwilling to rescue our Zhao country, there are still Yan and Qi countries that we have not asked for help."

"Of course, I also know that in the last battle at Hangu Pass, Yan State lost 30 troops for our Zhao State. If we ask for help from Yan State again this time, I am afraid that there is a great possibility that Yan State will not send troops to assist our Zhao State. .”

"The Qi State is different from the Yan State. According to my understanding, the Qi State has always had trade relations with the Qin State. It is this relationship that allows Qi State and Qin State to maintain a peaceful attitude. But it is also because of this In this case, we will ask for help from Qi State."

Listening to Guo Kai's words, King Zhao frowned, his eyes full of doubts.

Although there was no alliance or non-aggression agreement between Qi and Qin, an alliance had been reached between the two countries in the eyes of the kings of the countries.

Take the Battle of Hangu Pass as an example. Zhao, Yan, Wei, Han and the Chu State who finally went to attack Qin were nominally the armies of the four countries attacking Qin, but in fact the armies of the five countries jointly attacked Qin.

They also invited Qi Guo, but they were directly rejected by the King of Qi!

If Qi had joined in that battle, even if Qin had a powerful general like Yingjun, they would have been confident enough to break through Hangu Pass and even defeat Qin in one fell swoop.

However, Qi State showed no sign of sending troops from beginning to end, which is enough to show that Qi State and Qin State have reached an alliance in some sense.

Now if I ask Qi for help, I will not agree!

Guo Kai looked at King Zhao's complicated and confused look, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, it is true that Qi and Qin have trade relations, but who can guarantee that the two countries can maintain peace for a long time? What's more, there is no alliance agreement between the two countries. How can these interests alone be maintained? how long?"

"This is not only understood by the king and ministers, but also by King Qi. Everyone knows Qin's ambition to dominate the world. If Zhao is destroyed this time, Qin's strength will be greatly improved again. How can Qin value this benefit from Qi then?"

As Guo Kai spoke, his eyes were also observing the expressions of the surrounding ministers and the king.

As for King Zhao, who was sitting on the bed, after listening to Guo Kai's words, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in his eyes.

Now Zhao's life is hanging by a thread, and the other four countries are unwilling to send troops to help Zhao.

The only one we can rely on now is Qi State. No matter what the outcome is, it is worth a try!
Moreover, the State of Qi is not far from the border of Zhao State. As long as the State of Qi is willing to send troops to assist, it will have to persist until the Qi State army arrives, even if it uses all its national strength.

If Qi State refuses to send troops...

Then we can only blame Heaven for destroying me, Great Zhao!
