Qin Dynasty Novelist

"But what Zhu Qing said is also reasonable, but... as expected, Zhao was successfully destroyed. In my mind, I have not yet set a goal for the decision of the world. The three-way army destroyed Zhao, and the force of the war was close to Yan and Wei."

"If Wei is destroyed, there will undoubtedly be a lot of external disturbances. If Yan is destroyed, it will be useless!"

In addition to chatting about the Xinzheng Rebellion in Yingchuan County, the second thing about summoning the king's younger brother to the side hall is that if Wang Ben hadn't personally signed the document, Qin Wangzheng felt that the decision after the destruction of Zhao would have to be discussed later.

In the previous central decision-making strategy, there was a plan to destroy the three Jins first, then seek Yan Qi, and finally seek Chu!

In any case, in today's Zhuxia, in terms of strength, Chu State is the only big country that has the potential to compete with Qin State. If they directly attack Chu State and trap Qin State's power into Chu State, the gain will outweigh the loss.

It is good to destroy the three Jins first, but... Han and Zhao generals fell one after another. If we really want to destroy Wei, have we already controlled the three Jins, or something else... such as destroying Yan, Qin Wangzheng suddenly felt something.

Destroy Wei!

Chu State and Qi State will definitely not be indifferent as they are now. The reason why Qi State has always been friendly with Qin State is because Qi State and Qin State are far away from each other, and there is not much conflict of interest at all.

The same is true for Chu State, because Huaibei of Chu State directly borders most of the territory of Wei State, allowing Qin State to destroy Wei State will undoubtedly open the gate of Huaibei to Qin State.

This is the difficulty of destroying Wei.

Kill Yan!

For hundreds of years since the Spring and Autumn Period, in the eyes of Qin Wangzheng, the Yan Kingdom is really a dispensable vassal state. Even if there is King Yan Zhao's wisdom, it is just a flash of a meteor, and it is not of great use.

Wasting energy on the Yan State, I am afraid that Qi State, Wei State, and Chu State will have different conflicts at that time.

After pondering for a long time, Qin Wangzheng is really difficult to make a decision, and wants to discuss it with the central civil and military officials, but... now is not the best time, and the extermination of Zhao is what they should do now.

"Destroy Wei or destroy Yan?"

"However, to decide important matters for the country, in Xuanqing's view, Wei and Yan are both weak and weak. Although Wei has been clamoring for Wei Mou and Yandan to make one or two changes in recent years, the improvement has not been obvious after all. The political situation is ambiguous, and any one The country can succeed!"

Zhou Qing's expression changed, but he never thought about such a thing. After a little thought, he walked around the hall and spoke softly.

"Does Marquis Wu Zhen think that the two countries can be destroyed at the same time?"

Qin Wangzheng responded with a smile.

"Han Fei's "Death March" has a saying that although the wood is rotten, it will not break without strong wind. Although the wall is cracked, it will not be broken without heavy rain. Although the two countries of Yan and Wei are weak, Yan State is connected to the Xiongnu in the north, Donghu in the east, and adjacent to Qi State in the south. .”

"There are flying cavalry and light soldiers in all directions, fast and agile. If they form an alliance and unite as one, it is unknown whether the Qin army will win with all their strength. In the decision between the two countries, which country will Marquis Wu Zhen want to go first?"

Qin Wangzheng is well aware of the situation of Yan State and Wei State, but they are weak, but... they cannot be underestimated.

It took two years to destroy Zhao, and according to the documents from the general, the casualties of the Qin army were not large, which far exceeded his expectations. More importantly, the destruction of Zhao did not arouse the hearts of the other four kingdoms in Shandong.

Qin Wangzheng has always been worried about the alliance of the various countries, otherwise Yao Jia, Dunwei, and Gai Nie would not have been allowed to sit in Shandong. Now that the Zhao Kingdom is about to be destroyed, even if the Shandong states are united, the pressure will not be obvious.

"If Zhao is destroyed, among the remaining four kingdoms, except for the lack of Wei, the other three have a vast territory of more than [-] miles. It is not appropriate to divide the army to destroy them, but if one country falls into the quagmire, the overall situation will definitely be damaged."

"Among the two kingdoms of Yan and Wei, if you really choose one country, Xuanqing thinks that the country of Yan will be destroyed first!"

Zhou Qing shook his head. It is not impossible to divide the troops to attack the two countries at the same time, but because there are too many risks. When it comes to wars, prudence is always the top priority. Yan Wei is weak, so it may not be impossible to unleash super strength.

"reason?"

Qin Wangzheng is strange!

"Compared with Wei, it is easier to destroy Yan. But the difficulty of destroying Yan is not in destroying Yan alone, but in the terrain of Yan. There are Xiongnu and Donghu in the north. Now that Zhao is about to be destroyed, there must be Zhao. Remnant power."

"If you can't take advantage of the situation to wipe out the rest of Zhao State, and if you can't attack Yan State, there will be a lot of troubles in the future. As expected, if Yan is destroyed, there will be [-] troops from the north of Mengtian guarding it, and you can fight against the Central Plains countries with peace of mind."

"In addition, there is a more important point, the king should have already guessed, that is the most important point!"

Since King Yanzhao, the state of Yan has gone from bad to worse. Zhao State once defeated Yan State, and Qi State also defeated Yan State. The national power of Yan State has been greatly depleted.

It has long been attacked and destroyed by the rest of the vassal states.

Looking at the choice, Zhou Qing thinks that destroying Yan is the best. After destroying Yan, he will destroy Wei and win the Three Jins.

"Why?"

Qin Wangzheng's eyebrows were solemn, and he nodded slightly, his brother's words were justified.

"Although the country of Yan is weak, and although it is optional, its country is good at attaching itself to a big country. If it does not destroy Yan, the future troubles will be even greater!"

These words are not what Zhou Qing himself said, but the conspiracy of Guigu's disciples.

Decades ago during the Great Controversy, after Su Qin and Zhang Yi, the disciples of Guigu, disappeared from Zhu Xia one after another, Yan Guo looked at Zhu Xia and was extremely hesitant. In this way, Su Dai, the land of Su Qin, made a strategy for Yan Guo.

——Warring States Seven in the world, but Yan is weak!You can't fight alone, and everything is important if you have attached.The south is attached to Chu, and Chu is heavy.The west is attached to Qin, and Qin is heavy.If Han and Wei are attached to the Central Committee, then Han and Wei will be emphasized.And if the country that Gou bears is heavy, this will surely make the king heavy!

In other words, Yan State cannot stand alone and cannot become the real overlord of Zhuxia, but it can become a pivotal subsidiary covenant country. Yan State's attachment to any country will make that country's power increase sharply.

The importance of the Yan State lies in its dependence on the great powers, rather than dominating the Xia kingdoms. Only by greatly increasing the weight of the great powers, the Yan State will inevitably have its own weight. For decades, the Qin State has used the strategy of adapting to the situation.

To make friends with far and near to attack, and to make good friends with Yan State is to echo.

In the entire eight hundred years of the Yan Kingdom, except for King Yan Zhao and Le Yi who were powerful during the period of King Yan Zhao and Le Yi, who briefly broke Qi and became famous and dominated the Xia, before and after that, they have been seeking attachments among the Xia powers and wavering.

In the era of great strife, Qin was able to form alliances with Yan many times and break the alliance when it was the most intense period of alliance. .

Although Yan’s implementation of the strategy of vassal state was not consistent, the most frequent allies with Qi, Zhao, and Qin were also uncertain, and Chu, South Korea, and Wei were even more erratic.

In any case, it is an indisputable fact that Yan State can still turn to any major country for support at any time.

If Yan is not directly destroyed, then Yan will be attached to Qi and Chu in the east, which will be a real alliance against Qin.

Looking at it this way, the Yan Kingdom is like the most volatile and difficult to control country among the Four Xia Kingdoms after the destruction of Zhao. In addition, Yan Dan is against Qin, Zhou Qing feels that Brother Wang has made a decision in his heart at this moment.
