Chapter 572: Eating from the bowl and looking at the pot [Please subscribe*Please vote for the monthly ticket]

To be the leader of the Hezong alliance, to put it nicely, means that one can lead the armies of other countries, become the leader of the Hezong alliance, and the overlord among the princes.

But it also means that the coalition needs to contribute the most people, endure the most vicious attacks from Qin, and make the greatest enemies.

These guys just want to watch Qin and Bingzhou fight, and then sit on the mountain and watch the fight, letting Bingzhou contain Qin and give them a few decades of peace.

This leader is not even worthy of being a dog!
What's the point of putting the overall situation first? It's just because Qin has no time to deal with them.

"For the sake of the overall situation, Bingzhou should perhaps become the leader of this alliance!" Han Fei advised.

There will definitely be a war between Qin and Bing. If Qin is allowed to unify the Central Plains, Bingzhou may not be able to withstand the complete Qin.

Yan Yan looked at Han Fei and knew that Han Fei was still dreaming of restoring his country.

Once Bingzhou and Qin go to war, Han will have a chance to restore its country with the support of the princes.

"Tell me what the overall situation is." Yan Yan looked at Han Fei with a smile.

Compared with Bingzhou, many people believe that Bingzhou should snipe at Qin State because of the current situation in the world, so as to avoid a future war with Qin State.

"Only by maintaining this situation in the world can Bingzhou be stable!" Han Fei said seriously.

Yan Yan smiled and looked at the little Fusu who was brought to the court by him.

"Fusu, tell me what you have seen and heard during this time, and what the friends hope for the most."

Fusu looked at all the civil and military officials in Bingzhou. It was not the first time he was brought to court, and he was not nervous at all.

"What the kids want is for their parents to not have to work so hard, and to have a good meal of meat during festivals and good harvests!"

Fusu's soft voice spread in the quiet court.

"So, what you mean by maintaining the situation in the world is that there are wars everywhere and the people are starving? All year round, they can't even have a decent meal of meat?" Yan Yan looked at Han Fei coldly.

His talent lies in the law, but his background also limits his vision.

A man who was born a noble, even if he lowered his head to look at the poor people, he would only lower his head, not look at them at eye level.

"Moreover, judging from the overall situation you mentioned, even if Bingzhou becomes the leader of this alliance, then what?"

"Are those princes who are willing to see Bingzhou destroy Qin and become another sharp sword hanging over their heads?"

"So, even if Bingzhou becomes the leader of the alliance, it will not be able to destroy Qin."

"The final result will be just like Lord Xinling's coalition alliance. They fought to Hangu Pass and then dispersed!"

"So, it's perfect. Our Bingzhou has completely offended the Qin State. From then on, the Qin State and Bingzhou are at odds with each other. We can no longer get a grain or a piece of ore from the Qin State. Even Zhangye, Jiuquan, Dunhuang, Hetao and other counties will become the targets of Qin's attack."

"From then on, Bingzhou became Qin's greatest enemy."

"As we all know, the relationship between Bingzhou and Zhao is not harmonious. Once Qin closes the border trade, Zhao will also close the border accordingly, and then Bingzhou will have to return to the nomadic era."

"In the end, the population growth that Bingzhou has achieved through its three years of hard work couldn't even make it through this winter!"

Yan Yan was really angry.

Bingzhou has encouraged childbirth over the past three years, and its population has exceeded 1.5 million within three years, a rapid growth compared to before.

However, once Qin and Bingzhou go to war, without Qin's food and grass supply, these newborns may not even survive this winter.

"Even if we win, what can we get?"

"Zhao can take back their Hexi land, what about us?"

"To seize Wuwei, Jincheng, or Beidi?"

"My Bingzhou is already so powerful, can it occupy Wuwei, Jincheng and Beidi?"

"If I had the ability, would I still watch Maodun continue to develop in the north? Watch the Donghu continue to escape in the east? Watch the Dayuezhi commit sinister acts on the edge of the Juyan Lake?" Han Fei was silent, and the entire Bingzhou court was also quiet.

Many of them share the same idea as Han Fei.

Bingzhou cannot sit idly by and watch Qin grow stronger.

However, Bingzhou's current situation also determined that Bingzhou could not be hostile to Qin. Otherwise, once Qin's food supply was cut off, Bingzhou would once again become a nomadic people, and the efforts of the past three years would be in vain.

"There is a folk saying: Eat from the bowl and look at the pot."

"I'm talking about none other than you guys!"

"Bingzhou has no ability to continue to fight foreign wars, and there is not enough food and grass to support Bingzhou to start another war."

"Qin is afraid of Bingzhou, not because Bingzhou is strong, but because it is not worth it!"

"What they fear is Bingzhou, which is desperate and desperate."

"Therefore, Qin will not choose to go to war with Bingzhou unless it is absolutely necessary."

"All interests are mutual, and Bingzhou also dares not go to war with Qin."

"Becoming the leader of a coalition alliance will gain you nothing except a false reputation."

"We don't need to get the approval of other princes before we can occupy other countries like the princes in the Central Plains did. When we go to war, whether it's against the Xiongnu, the Dayuezhi or the Donghu, it's all legitimate and we don't need the approval of other princes."

Yan Yan directly tore up the letter sent by the State of Zhao.

He would go if Qin invited him, and he had to go.

This shows Bingzhou's attitude, which is equivalent to becoming a hostage of Qin to make Qin feel at ease.

Otherwise, why didn't Meng Wu appear on the front line, but instead stayed in Lishi Fortress?

It is to guard against Bingzhou.

Once Qin declared war, Meng Wu led his army north to threaten the Beiye royal court.

It was impossible for Yan Yan to let Meng Tian and Meng Yi go to the battlefield to fight with Meng Wu and his son.

This means that Bingzhou's combat power has already been partially reduced before the war even starts.

In addition, Qin and Bingzhou have been cooperating for three years and the two sides have been on good terms. If Qin and Bingzhou go to war, how many people can bring themselves to attack their former friends?
Seeing Yan Yan destroying the Zhao Kingdom's letter with his palm power, the officials of Bingzhou also understood that Bingzhou would not participate in this Central Plains war.

"Let me remind you all, don't forget the oath we made to Bingzhou!" Yan Yan stood up and left the court, leaving only one sentence.

Everyone then remembered Bingzhou’s oath that war would never be fought southwards!
"Alas... your father is going to take advantage of you for free!" Yan Yan said helplessly as he carried Fusu back to the harem.

Ying Zheng calculated that for the sake of Bingzhou's stability, he would definitely go to Qin.

But why choose Yanyu City when there were so many other places to choose from? He said he was going to watch the battle, just to take advantage of his wisdom and ask him to give advice on how to attack Yanyu City for Qin.

Because Ying Zheng knew very well that Yan Yan would not sit idly by and watch both sides suffer heavy casualties.

This was to force Yan Yan to come up with the most reliable method of attacking the city to capture Yanyu City for Qin.

"What does freeloading mean?" Little Fusu stared at Yan Yan with his big eyes curiously.

"It means going to a tavern to listen to music without paying!" Yan Yan explained tactfully after thinking for a while.

"It's considered prostitution only if you pay. It seems that if you don't pay, it doesn't count, right?" Nanyue suddenly spoke up. In the past two years, she has been working hard to study the new laws established by Bingzhou and Qin.

"..." Yan Yan was stunned. It seemed like what you said made sense. So... the word "freeloader" was a legal error? A word that shouldn't appear?
