141, why do you have to save South Korea?(1/2)

Faced with King Zhao's anger, everyone chose to be quiet.

Li Jian watched coldly, and he felt a little funny.

Originally, Li Jian planned to go to Wei State first and then to Chu State.

But King Zhao suddenly made a fuss before Li Jian set out and asked Yu Xin to go to Chu State.

Li Jian can understand this behavior. After all, don’t the king like to engage in such checks and balances and decentralization?

But the problem is that Yu Xin seems to have messed up the matter.

Perhaps, Yu Xin actually helped Li Jian take the blame?

Thinking of this, Li Jian's mood suddenly became even happier.

Li Jian did not intend to speak immediately, but wanted to see the opinions of other important officials.

Since Duping Jun Tian Dan was still leading the troops, Pingyuan Jun became the first person to speak.

Pingyuan Jundao:

"King, for the sake of the present, we should first send troops to South Korea immediately, so as not to be unable to resist the Qin army's offensive."

"In addition, we should also send an envoy to Chu State to ask what the situation is, and find a way to solve it."

Listening to Pingyuan Jun’s answer, the expression on King Zhao’s face improved a lot.

"This is indeed the reason, but if the war starts now, can it beat the Qin people?"

This problem successfully caused the hall to fall into silence again.

Whether he wanted to admit it or not, Qin State was still the most powerful country among the princes.

Any war with Qin must be taken seriously.

Pingyang Jun said:

"King, it's not that we want to go to war with Qin, but that the Qin people have already forced us to the gate, and we have no choice."

Once upon a time, both Wei and Han were the barriers of Zhao.

But decades passed, Wei State lost Hedong and South Korea also lost a large amount of land, and could only survive.

The barrier of Zhao State has been extremely weakened.

If South Korea is destroyed again, Qin's military front can point directly to Handan!

King Zhao pursed his lips and fell into thinking. This was his habit when he was nervous.

Lin Xiangru stood up and said:

"King, the old minister thinks that it may not be appropriate to go to war with Qin at this moment."

King Zhao looked at Lin Xiangru and said:

“Why?”

Lin Xiangru said:

"Now Da Zhao has just destroyed the Yan State, and a large number of officials, army and various energy are devoted to the newly occupied territory."

"Under such a situation, if we go to war with Qin, our national strength will not be fully exerted, which is a major hidden danger."

If you want to establish a new order in the newly occupied territory, you must invest necessary resources.

If it were in normal times, this kind of investment would be no problem for Zhao State.

But when competing with top masters like Qin, the final failure may be caused by such a little dispersed national strength.

After hearing Lin Xiangru's words, King Zhao became more and more confused.

After a while, King Zhao spoke helplessly:

"Is there no other way?"

All the important officials were speechless.

Everyone's opinions have been finished, what else can I do?

Li Jian looked at this scene and knew it was time to speak by himself.

Li Jian stood up and said:

"King, I actually have a suggestion."

King Zhao set his eyes on Li Jian.

"Do you want to fight Shangdang County with the Qin people?"

The military chess performance between Li Jian and Zhao Kuo also left a very deep impression on King Zhao.

Li Jian smiled and said:

"The king misunderstood. The prerequisite for the decisive battle between Shangdang is that the Qin army wants to put its main force into the direction of Shangdang County, but now the Qin army surrounds Xinzheng, and it is obvious that the Qin king has changed his mind."

King Zhao said oh, saying:

"Then are you planning to change the decisive battle between Shangdang County and Xinzheng City?"

Li Jian still smiled and shook his head, saying:

"I actually agree with what Lin Qing said just now. Maybe we really don't need to fight Qin now."

King Zhao was stunned.

After a few seconds, King Zhao said:

"What do you mean?"

Li Jian no longer kept silent and spoke directly.

"I think, in fact, we can consider dividing South Korea with Qin."

When these words were said, everyone in the hall showed a look of surprise on their faces.

King Zhao widened his eyes and said:

"What did you say?"

Li Jian smiled and said:

"The territory of South Korea has two counties in total, among which Shangdang County is located in the Taihang Mountains. It is a central place for us, Zhao State, and it is absolutely impossible to give up."

"The other Xinzheng land is located south of the river and above the Henan plain. Although this part of the land is also considered a fertile land, it can actually be abandoned by us."

"In other words, we can send troops to seize Shangdang County and take down this strategic high ground that is crucial to us."

"As for Xinzheng, if the Qin people want it, they can ask them to go. What's the point?"

Seeing Li Jian talking, the Zhao king and his ministers present were silent.

Pingyuan Jun took a deep breath and couldn't help saying:

"But in that case, will South Korea... be destroyed?"

Li Jian spread his hands:

"Even Yan State can perish, why does South Korea have to continue to survive?"

"As long as the demise of South Korea can bring us enough benefits, then it will be destroyed, what's the point?"

Pingyuan Jun widened his eyes and said:

"But, South Korea and us went out of Jin State, how could we do this kind of division of Korea with Qin State?"

Li Jian looked at Ping Yuanjun and his expression gradually became serious.

"Pingyuan Jun's words are a big mistake."

"Since King Wu of Zhou granted the title of princes, there are only six major Warring States countries left in the thousands of princes."

"What does this mean? It means that with the progress of the times, there will inevitably be fewer and fewer countries."

"I can assert that in the near future, it is very likely that China will only have the last country left, and this country will complete the true unification."

Listening to Li Jian's words, Zhao's king and ministers were all shocked.

The princes are united and China is unified?

This concept is still very advanced at this time.

It sounds like a shock in my heart!

King Zhao took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

"Li Qing, continue talking."

Li Jian nodded to King Zhao and continued:

"So we are also prepared so that we can survive in the future and unify the world!"

"In order to do this, we should do everything possible to expand, expand, and expand again!"

"Only by gaining more territory and more population, we have more resources and more troops to help us defeat every opponent on the road to unification."

"As for the friendship between countries, is that important? It's not important at all."

"Han, Wei, Chu and other countries are all good. Anyway, we will be destroyed in the future. So what kind of friendship do we need to talk about?"

"This world is cruel. The battle between princes is either you die or I live."
To be continued...
