Chapter 803 The next goal
After receiving the reward from Li Mu, Zhao Dan was happy for almost half a month.
But this matter in life is always composed of countless troubles. After one is solved, another trouble will arise. Therefore, when Zhao Dan temporarily put aside the troubles of the northern nomadic peoples, he has to face another trouble.
Fortunately, this should actually be considered a happy trouble for Zhao Dan.
This trouble is: Wei State is over, so which country should be the next one to take action?
What, you said you just signed a peace treaty with other countries?
Peace agreements originally require force as a guarantee. Now the other five countries are not enough to fight one of Zhao. So how could Zhao State need to abide by any bullshit peace agreement?
It can be said that the later the Warring States Period, the stronger the power of the hegemonic country was, the more the peace agreement became, the more there was no difference between waste paper, which can be seen from the history of the four hegemonic countries of Wei, Chu, Qi and Qin.
The ministers of Zhao who had just destroyed the Wei State had a big appetite. They were no longer satisfied with the "small fight" of cutting off several cities. They were all stimulated by the benefits obtained from the battle to destroy the Wei State, and their eyes turned red, and they wanted to destroy all other countries in the world in an instant.
The battle to destroy the country must be fought! This is the consensus among all Zhao countries.
But who should I destroy first?
The important officials of Zhao State, including the entire military and two general staff, had almost the most intense quarrel that Zhao Dan had ever seen for this incident.
Zhao Sheng impatiently knocked the table in front of him with his fingers, and said bluntly: "Now that Qin has lost Xihe County and Shang County, and has lost a large number of main forces in the battle of Suiyang City. General Wang Yan and Wang Ling were implicated and were dismissed from officials and held accountable. This is the most suitable time to attack the Qin people! As long as he can take Guanzhong, he can break Bashu again. In this way, the northwest land is in the hands of our country, and there is no worries in the world!"
Zhao Sheng was the prime minister of Zhao State for twenty years. For most of the time during these twenty years, the question that Pingyuan Jun has always been about how to pull down the damn overlord of Qin State.
Now he finally did this, so in order not to allow Qin to continue to have a chance to turn things around, Zhao Sheng naturally believed that the most appropriate choice should continue to be punished to death by Qin.
Zhao Sheng's old rival General Lian Po obviously did not agree with this: "Pingyuan Jun, you don't think about it. If the army sets out to Guanzhong to destroy Qin, then the direction of Handan in the Central Plains will be empty. What should we do if Qi, Yan, Chu, Han and other countries attack at that time? Besides, if you want to enter Shuzhong, it will take at least one or two months to return to Handan from Shuzhong. How can you ensure that there will be no changes in Handan in such a long time?"
"In my opinion, it is still the right way to attack Qi State! First of all, the king and ministers of King Jian and Housheng of Qi are extremely incompetent. Many people in Qi State have long been dissatisfied with this. Moreover, Qi State's military strength is weak now. Only if you have to give me 100,000 troops, you will definitely be able to destroy Qi in one fell swoop!"
Similar to Zhao Sheng, Lian Po obviously has a certain obsession with Qi State. However, Zhao Sheng is more of a psychological shadow, while Lian Po has a psychological advantage.
What’s interesting is that perhaps it was because of Zhao Dan’s last strong suppression, or perhaps it was because this matter was indeed a very worthy of discussion. The other ministers of the public or commoners did not simply stand behind their elder brother and shout, but instead all expressed their opinions.
Yu Xin said unwillingly: "King, in the opinion of the minister, we should destroy the Chu State first! In recent years, the Chu army has failed continuously, and in the battle of Suiyang City, we have to cross the Huai River and conquer Shouchun, and then we can easily divide the Chu State into two halves and then defeat them one by one! Once the Chu State is destroyed, the other four countries will be everywhere, and no matter how they want to join forces, they will not be able to cause any threat."
When Zhao Dan heard this, he started to have a headache. Only three people spoke were already three options. What should I do?
But it was still a headache for Zhao Dan, because Zheng Zhu also spoke at this time: "King, I think that Han is now in the heart of the Central Plains, and can connect with Qin and Chu, and look down on Shangdang. It is really a big problem. It must be destroyed first. Once Han is destroyed, the Three Jins will be unified again, and the direct connection between Qin and Chu will be cut off. In this way, it will be easy for the king to conquer other countries!"
However, this is not the end, because Ju Xin, who had just entered Longtai's discussion, actually put forward his own opinions.
"King, the old minister thinks that destroying Yan State first is the best strategy! In the past wars, Yan State sent troops from its flanks to attack the northern counties of our north, which is really intolerable! As long as it can destroy Yan State, the entire northern part of China will be owned by the king, and the king will go south and conquer the southern countries with all his might. This is the right way!"
So Zhao Dan's head hurt even more.
So far, all countries have entered the vision of these ministers of Zhao State, and one or two are well-founded.
The problem is that Zhao Dan is also very clear about the ability of his Zhao State. You must know that offense and defense are not the same thing. If you want to destroy the other five countries at once, unless Zhao Dan can have a million elite troops in his hands. Therefore, destroying the country one by one is the real practical method. No one can become a fat man in one bite, right?
As a result, the guys are now saying that they are right and the mother is right. Everyone is arguing and making a big fuss, so there is no good way for Zhao Dan to do it.
If it has always been said that the two factions are in a stalemate, then Zhao Dan will naturally come out to make a final decision at this time. After all, in a stalemate between the two factions, Zhao Dan will automatically become a majority, and only with the support of the majority can Zhao Dan's order be firmly implemented.
But now, the symbol of the two factions has become a chaotic battle between the five factions. No matter which side Zhao Dan stands on, he will not be the majority. Instead, he will be jointly opposed by the other four factions.
In fact, there is also the sixth sect, which is the grassland sect. However, Li Mu is also a shrewd guy. He took down the grassland in one battle, which also made Zhao Dan lose one problem and choice.
Later, Zhao Dan was also upset by the quarrels of these ministers, so he waved his hand and said, "You should care about your own arguments. When will you come up with a certain idea and report to me, I will just approve it!"
Zhao Dan happily became the boss and threw this matter to others and was heartbroken.
Even the queen Han Wan in the palace knew about Zhao Dan's behavior, and couldn't help but tactfully advise Zhao Dan when he met.
Zhao Dan laughed and said to the queen: "The queen doesn't know anything. These ministers are giving me eye drops!"
"Eye discard?" The queen was obviously a little surprised, but immediately understood: "Is it because of the incident a while ago?"
"Of course it's because of the incident a while ago." Zhao Dan nodded and snorted: "These guys think I offended them in this matter, but I don't dare to challenge me openly, so I made such a trick, wanting to warn me in a vague way."
Han Wan was silent for a while, but still advised: "King, I feel that since the last incident has passed, I will ignore it. The important officials of Longtai are all the ministers of the king. If they had not made a big mistake, the little boy felt that he should not be punished easily."
Zhao Dan nodded and smiled, "The Queen, don't worry, let them quarrel slowly. I am actually not in a hurry at all. There are not enough officials in the Wei State yet, and there are also many people to send to the grassland. I have asked the Huaxia Academy to recruit more registered disciples, but I don't know if it's too late. Anyway, the other countries have crippled me, and I can't get around for at least two or three years. I am not in a hurry, I am not in a hurry at all!"
But Zhao Dan was not anxious, but there were others who were even more anxious than Zhao Dan.
It was precisely the impatience of the others that gave Zhao Dan an excellent excuse to start a war and also provided Zhao Dan with a subsequent goal to start a war.
