Eight hundred and eighty-ninth chapter next goal

When winter is coming, a good news that Zhao Dan has been looking forward to for a long time finally came.

The last stronghold of the Koreans, Wancheng, which was stationed by Han Prince An and the remnants of the Korean army, was finally captured by the Zhao army led by Lian Po due to insufficient food.

Even after breaking through the city, the Zhao army still encountered fierce resistance in the streets and alleys of Wancheng.

This made Lian Po very angry.

In fact, it was not just Lian Po, but also Zhao's army had strong resentment towards this city.

So Wancheng was hit by rice seedlings.

Thousands of Korean soldiers below Prince An were executed. Zhao army summoned the entire city and demoted all the adult men in the city to slaves. Some were taken to factories in the north to smelters, while the other part was taken to the northwest to build the city.

But this actually did not satisfy the Zhao army, and many Zhao army generals even requested a massacre of the city.

The so-called massacre of the city means killing all the men in the city higher than the wheel, and deposing women and young children to slaves.

This suggestion was rejected very decisively by Lian Po.

In any case, the fall of Wancheng is definitely something worthy of history, because it symbolizes the complete demise of South Korea.

After the end of the Battle of Wancheng, Wei, Yan and Han, among the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, had completely become history. The only three countries of Qin, Chu and Qi were left on the road to unifying the world.

After New Year's Day this year, a highly confidential discussion also started in Longtai, which ushered in the first snowfall this year.

Zhao Dan looked at the eight important officials of Longtai in front of him (Pang Qian was absent because he was guarding the northwest), coughed and cleared his throat, and slowly spoke: "Today, it is actually for one thing. When the spring of the next year comes, I will send troops again. Do you think which country should you choose as your next target?"

As soon as Zhao Dan finished speaking, the faces of many ministers were different.

As the prime minister, Zhao Sheng, the king of Pingyuan, was the first to speak for granted: "King, I think Qin should be the next target."

Zhao Dan turned his attention to Zhao Sheng: "Mr. Pingyuan, tell me your reasons."

Zhao Shengdao: "Looking at the three countries today, only Qin is the strongest and has such a rich place as Guanzhong, which is an excellent target suitable for attack. After taking over Qin, Chu Qi will not be a problem."

"And if you take down Qin, it will also be convenient for the subsequent battle against Chu. At that time, the king can set up a main force from Handan to move south, and at the same time a side division from Bashu to advance eastward along the Yangtze River. In this way, the battle to defeat Chu will be much easier."

Zhao Sheng finished these words without stopping, obviously he had already thought about it.

After hearing Zhao Sheng's words, Zhao Dan nodded thoughtfully, but did not express his opinion immediately.

No one else spoke.

After Zhao Sheng spoke, the next person to speak was Lian Po.

The old general who had just returned to the court said in a loud voice: "King, I think Qi is the most suitable target. Now Qi has been completely surrounded by Zhao. If the king attacks Qi, then whether Chu or Qin wants to send troops to help, they cannot directly reach Qi's territory."

"In this case, the king only needs to send two partial troops to delay the pace of Qin and Chu. Qi is the country with the smallest territory among the three kingdoms now. The king can send the main force to attack and destroy it in the shortest time. In this way, the Qin and Chu countries have not even had time to take any action. Qi has already perished. This is the right way, the king."

Zhao Dan smashed his mouth and saw some signs.

From the perspective of Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng, he hopes that it will be difficult first and then easy.

It is natural to take down the hardest bones of Qin first, and then destroy Chu and Qi.

From the perspective of Wu Xin and Lian Po, it is hoped that it will be easy first and then difficult.

After all, Qi State is completely in the pocket of Zhao State in terms of geographical terms, and Handan is also very close to Qi State. Taking over Qi State is undoubtedly a time-saving choice.

Although both giants have expressed their opinions, Zhao Dan still did not make a decision immediately, but said: "Does other ministers have any opinions?"

Yu Xin and Li Bo quickly expressed their support for Lian Po, and Ju Xin naturally wanted to waving the flag for Zhao Sheng. After thinking for a while, Li Si joined Zhao Sheng's camp of attacking Qin.

In this case, only Zheng Zhu and Li Mu did not express their opinions.

Zheng Zhu cleared his throat and said first: "King, I also think it is a good idea to attack Qi. Now, the Prime Minister of Qi, Bang, is extremely attitude of Emmy under the efforts of Chen and Hu Yiwei. I believe that as long as I send a large army to attack Qi and put Qi on the brink of despair, Hou Sheng is likely to be unable to withstand this pressure and persuade King Jian of Qi to surrender."

Zhao Dan nodded and nodded softly.

When the Qin army attacked Qi in history, it was Hou Sheng, a guy who persuaded King Jian of Qi to surrender without fighting. Qi was also the weakest country in the Qin war of unity. This has to be said to have a lot to do with the stupid and slanderous monarchs and slanderous ministers of Qi Wang Jian and Hou Sheng.

Although after Zhao Dan traveled through time, King Jian of Qi didn't know what medicine he took wrong and always wanted to go against Zhao Dan, Hou Sheng was still the same Hou Sheng. This prime minister of Qi still had a strong influence on King Jian of Qi, so it was indeed not impossible to persuade King Jian of Qi to surrender.

Zhao Dan finally turned his attention to Li Mu: "Grandmaster, you are the chief general this time, so you should also talk about your opinions."

It is well known that Li Mu will become the leader of the next battle.

Everyone turned their attention to Li Mu, wanting to know Li Mu's answer.

Given that Li Mu has always been trusted by the king, all the ministers present knew very well that Li Mu's answer was the most important.

Li Mu seemed to have been confident, so he quickly responded: "King, I think that Qi is approaching Handan is an unstable factor. Therefore, it is better to solve Qi first, so that I can safely move west and south to conquer Qin and Chu."

Li Mu also believed that Qi State was a suitable target for conquest.

This is actually understandable. After all, from Li Mu's own perspective, it is the first time that the big girl is in the sedan chair to command the super-large corps of infantry and cavalry to fight. It is understandable to choose the most confident opponent.

Since everyone gave the answer, Zhao Dan no longer hesitated and made a decision.

"Very good, so next we will take Qi as our next target of attack. All the ministers will perform their duties and do not make any mistakes!"
