Chapter 830 Who to hit first
?As soon as they talked about this topic, the ministers of Zhao State immediately became energetic.
I like this feeling of giving guidance to the country the most.
The first thing to talk about was Zhao's Xiangbang, Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng said, "King, I believe that Han should be destroyed first now. As long as Han can be destroyed, the entire Central Plains will be at the hands of the king and the world will be safe. Moreover, destroying Han can separate Qin and Chu from each other. In this way, whether it is attacking Qin or Chu, it will make it difficult for these two countries to rescue each other. It can be said that it is a trick of killing three birds with one stone."
Zhao Dan thought about Zhao Sheng’s words and thought it was actually quite reasonable.
Since South Korea now has occupied Nanyang County, it has actually separated the connection between Qin and Chu.
Although Qin and Chu are actually bordering now, the problem is that the border is Wushan, and it is really difficult to mobilize the army through the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.
It would be fine if the upstream Qin State advanced to the east to aid Chu. If the Chu State wanted to go against the current and rescue Qin State, it would be almost impossible before.
It is precisely for this reason that Zhao Sheng believes that attacking South Korea is the best choice.
In fact, Zhao Sheng's opinion also surprised Zhao Dan.
You should know that Zhao Sheng has always been the most resolute anti-flagship faction, so Zhao Dan subconsciously believed that Zhao Sheng should also strongly demand that Qin be destroyed first this time.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Sheng suddenly proposed to search for South Korea, which was a surprising move.
In fact, what Zhao Dan didn't know was that Zhao Sheng's proposal had learned from the previous lessons.
At about this time last year, the king and ministers of the Zhao Kingdom who had just destroyed the Wei Kingdom were discussing their next goal.
During that meeting, whether it was the public or the common people, there were scattered voting rights and fighting each other, which led to the fact that a unified conclusion was not formed in the end.
If it weren't for the sudden incident of Jing Ke's assassination of King Zhao, then I'm afraid the senior officials of Zhao would not get any results even if they had arguing for ten days and half a month.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Sheng had reunited with Pang Xian and Ju Xin in advance and made sufficient preparations.
After careful discussion, the three of them believed that South Korea was the best target.
In fact, Qi State is also a good goal, but for some obvious reasons, Zhao Sheng was not willing to recommend Qi State as Zhao State's next goal.
However, the problem is that although Zhao Sheng himself does not want to recommend Qi, there are still people who like to fight Qi first.
General Lian Po, the Zhao State, coughed and said to Zhao Dan: "King, according to the old minister, it is best to destroy Qi this time. As long as Qi is destroyed, the entire Central Plains will be completely owned by our Zhao State. What the king needs to do next is to let our generals lead the rolling iron hoofs to move southward and completely flatten the other three countries."
Not to mention it, after saying this to Lian Po, Zhao Dan felt that what Lian Po said was quite reasonable.
If you want to attack South Korea, Zhao may be worried that Qi will take a chance, but if Qi is destroyed directly, there is no need to worry about this at all.
Like the usual Zhao State political arena, since the bosses of the two camps have already set their positions clearly, it is time for the younger brothers to come out and shout.
Pang Nuan coughed and said, "The general's words made some sense when he heard them, but if you think about them carefully, they actually have a big disadvantage."
Lian Po was unhappy when he heard this. He immediately glared at his eyes and said, "What are the disadvantages of my words? Please ask Pang Qing for advice."
To be honest, the more Lian Po looks at Pang Nuan, the more unhappy he feels now.
After all, Pang Nuan has made more and more contributions in recent years. In addition, as the chief general of the Zhao army, he destroyed the Yan State, and his momentum suddenly became popular and he has begun to compete with Lian Po.
This is obviously a very unacceptable thing for the arrogant Lian Po.
Pang Nuan smiled slightly and said to Lian Lianpo: "General, please think about it. From a geographical perspective, the three kingdoms of Han, Qin and Chu are connected together. If Qi is attacked first, then the remaining three countries will definitely feel like they are cold and cold. No matter which country they attack next, the other two countries will definitely come to support each other, which will greatly increase the difficulty of the entire war.
But if South Korea is taken down first, then the remaining three countries of Qin, Chu and Qi will be completely divided by us, and we can slowly and calmly defeat these three countries. In this way, the casualties and losses will naturally be reduced, and the success will be greatly increased."
As soon as Pang Nuan finished speaking, Yu Xin's voice also sounded: "Pang Qing's words are not biased. You must know that Qi is still in power. If you attack South Korea first, Qi may directly send troops to threaten Handan. If Qi is destroyed first, then neither Chu, South Korea nor Qin will have the possibility of threatening Handan. In this way, there will be no danger in Handan, and we can calmly dispatch troops and generals. This is the best way to seek victory in a stable manner. As for Qin, Han, and Chu, what's the harm in forming a coalition force? Anyway, we have defeated the six countries to attack Zhao. Are you still afraid that one of the Three Kingdoms will not be able to resist Zhao?"
After Yu Xin said this, Ju Xin also spoke: "Yu Qing's words are wrong, Ju Xin dare not agree. Back then, General Lian Po had defeated the Qi people many times, but he also suffered a failure in the Battle of Gaotang City two years ago. This shows that any country should not be underestimated, especially when several countries unite, they should not be taken lightly. Instead of letting them unite and causing greater trouble to us, it is better to destroy South Korea first and then defeat them one by one."
After the opera Xin finished speaking, Li Bo also stood up and expressed his position: "In the last battle of Suiyang City, all the four-nation coalition forces suffered great losses. The only two that did not lose the vitality were Yan and Qi. Now that Yan has been eliminated, only if Qi is destroyed, there is no force in the world to confront our country.
As for the three countries of Qin, Chu and Han, how could they recover from the Battle of Suiyang City so quickly in just two years? But if we don’t destroy Qi first, then we will face a new force composed of Qi, and this new force may even threaten Handan City! Therefore, it is better to destroy Qi first."
The two factions held their own opinions and had arguing for a while, and the court was filled with voices of debate.
Zhao Dan rubbed his temples with some headaches. To be honest, although Zhao Dan deliberately caused this situation where the two factions were quarrels, it sometimes made people feel a little headache.
However, the only thing that made Zhao Dan feel a little comforted is that because he kept mixing sand, a third-party force, that is, neutral force, has appeared in the political arena of Zhao.
Moreover, there are currently three people in this neutral force, namely Zheng Zhu, Li Si and Li Mu.
So Zhao Dan continued to name the name: "Zheng Qing, please tell me your opinion."
After hearing Zhao Dan's words, Zheng Zhu, the Zhao State Administration, hurriedly stood up and replied to Zhao Dan: "Master, I think attacking South Korea may be a better choice."
Zhao Dan asked, "Why is this? Tell me your reason."
Zheng Zhu replied: "King, King Jian and Housheng of Qi have always been timid and afraid of trouble. If the king only needs to send an envoy to appease Qi, then Qi will have a high probability that it will not continue to send troops. As long as Qi does not send troops, the king will not have to worry about Qi's constraints, and just need to concentrate on solving South Korea."
After hearing Zheng Zhu's words, Zhao Dan nodded and said nothing about it.
To be honest, the Qi king Jian and Hou Sheng in history are indeed as timid and afraid as Zheng Zhu said.
However, Zhao Dan didn't know if it was because of his time travel that caused some changes. Now, King Jian of Qi was not as unwilling to participate in the war as mentioned in history. Instead, he participated in the beating of Zhao State many times, which is very upsetting.
So it is not easy to say whether Qi can be persuaded to remain neutral in this war.
Zhao Dan looked at Li Si again: "Li Qing, please tell me your opinion."
Li Si thought for a while and said, "King, I think attacking Qi should be a better choice. As long as you take Qi, you can concentrate on going south. This is great good news."
After Li Si finished speaking, eight ministers from Zhao State had already expressed their opinions, and the votes were exactly four to four.
So everyone naturally turned their eyes to the last guy in the hall who had not spoken yet.
Zhao Dan coughed and said, "Governor Li Mu, which country do you think should be attacked is the best strategy?"
Li Mu was also stunned by this. He obviously didn't expect that he was the last one and the others could not argue. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Master, I think South Korea may be a better option."
"Say your reasons." Zhao Dan said.
Li Mu bowed to Zhao Dan and replied, "King, if you can take down South Korea, then you will be able to easily go south to capture Guanzhong, and Guanzhong will not get any reinforcements. As long as Guanzhong is taken down, the whole world will be in the hands of the king!"
After Li Mu voted, some people sighed and said, of course, there were other people's happy expressions in the hall.
