Chapter 46 Can't use Zhao Kuo as the main general!
After the court meeting, the monarchs of various countries will take out a wooden piece of wood about three feet long and one foot wide, and write this letter of alliance in the text of various countries. The content is roughly the format "In the year of xx, king x, king x meets and king x, king x meets, king x".
Subsequently, all the kings, including King Zhao, would cover their own king seals on the bamboo slips, and then divide the bamboo slips into two halves with a knife, half of which were kept in the leader of the Zhao State, and on the other side were brought back to the country by the kings of various vassal states.
Then, there are a series of lengthy sacrificial activities such as slaughtering three animals, sacrificing sacrifices to heaven, etc.
After all these sacrificial activities are over, the whole day will almost pass.
Then, there is a grand dinner! Of course, there must be singing and dancing at the dinner, and even more indispensable are fine wine and delicacies.
King Zhao raised the wine lord in front of him and smiled at the many kings sitting on both sides and said, "As the host, I welcome all the kings here today, and drink with you!"
Others raised their glasses: "Drinking!"
After three glasses of wine, the beauties in the center of the hall danced gracefully, and the atmosphere began to become warm.
King Zhao shook his head and admired the dance posture, and suddenly smiled: "Today, the kings gathered in Handan, which is an unprecedented event in the past ten years, but after thinking about it, I feel that there is one country missing."
The faces of the other kings changed slightly, but no one touched each other for a while.
King Zhao's face remained unchanged and continued to smile: "The Qin State has always been ambition to invade the Central Plains, and finally defeated me once. However, I feel that with the vengeful character of King Yingji of Qin, most of the time, they will continue to go east to the Central Plains within two or three years!"
After King Zhao finished speaking, King Han, King Wei and King Chu all changed their faces.
The reason is very simple. In addition to Zhao, these three countries are also bordering Qin. Qin will most likely dare not provoke Zhao in the future. So, wouldn’t they have to come to Han, Wei and Chu?
Among the Three Kingdoms, South Korea is the weakest and closest to Qin. At this moment, the King of Han didn't care about his face and said, "King Zhao, I, Han and you, are both from the same source. You are the leader of this time, and you will not be able to save me when I see you."
The King of Wei and King of Chu also spoke one after another, and the meaning they expressed was almost the same as that of King of Han.
King Zhao smiled and said, "The three kings are so serious.
Since I am the leader of the six Eastern countries, how could I sit back and see everyone being bullied by Qin?
But I actually have another idea. Instead of letting Qin come to attack us after resting and recuperation, why can't we take action first?"
None of the kings were fools, so naturally they had already heard what King Zhao meant.
The King of Han asked tentatively: "King Zhao wants to organize a coalition forces to attack Qin?"
King Zhao clapped his hands and said, "King Han knows me!"
This is not the first time that the coalition forces have attacked Qin.
Sixty years ago, Gongsun Yan organized five countries to attack Qin once, but failed.
Almost forty years ago, Mengchangjun Tian Wen also organized the Three Kingdoms to attack Qin, and it was successful.
More than 20 years ago, the five countries that were blocked by Qi to attack Qin, but in the end, Qi took the opportunity to annex Song and evolved into five countries to attack Qi, which ended in the end when Qi was almost destroyed by Le Yi.
Now, King Zhao actually wants to be the leader of the alliance to organize the attack on Qin?
Can it work?
After a moment of silence, the King of Han was the first to speak: "We, South Korea, have joined this matter!"
South Korea is the country facing the most severe threat to Qin and is also the weakest country now, so the King of South Korea's statement was somewhat forced.
The King of Wei spoke the second time: "We, Wei State, are also willing to join."
In addition to Han, the one who was beaten by Qin was the most violently. Wei's reason for joining was actually the same as Han.
The King of Chu took a deep breath and spoke the third: "The Great Chu has joined too!"
In addition to Han and Wei, the third most beaten was Chu State. Bai Qi drowned hundreds of thousands of Chu people in Yandu, captured the Yingdu of Chu State and became the Nanjun of Qin State. He also burned Yiling, where the ancestors of Chu State were located, and the King of Chu was also full of motivation for revenge.
Among the four countries bordering Qin, the only one who can defeat Qin was Zhao, which is why Zhao is now the leader of the alliance.
King Zhao nodded and smiled and said, "Very good. Now all the three kings have agreed. I wonder what the King of Yan and King Qi meant?"
King Zhao's eyes were like lightning, and they shot on King Yan and King Qi, with obvious warnings and threats inside.
The King of Yan thought for a while and said, "I have joined too."
In order to fight against Qi, which has been very powerful since King Wei of Qi, Yan and Zhao have been close allies for a long time, so they are known as "Yan and Zhao".
Although Zhao has become stronger now, the relationship between the two countries is still close, so there is naturally no reason to oppose King Zhao's proposal at this time.
King Zhao looked at King Qi and said with a slight smile: "Now, five of the six powerful countries have agreed, so the King of Qi will not disagree, right?"
At some point, the singing and dancing had stopped, and the eyes of hundreds of kings and ministers in the hall were all gathered on the King of Qi.
The King of Qi laughed, raised his wine glass and said, "Since everyone has agreed, how can I discourage everyone's excitement?
This time the battle against Qin, our Qi State also joined!"
After the King of Qi agreed, a cheer suddenly sounded in the hall, and the originally nervous atmosphere became very harmonious in an instant.
King Zhao laughed and said, "I know that King Qi will make the right decision.
Come on, let’s drink three more cups for this decision!”
With the completion of the alliance, the wine was eaten one after another, and the atmosphere became more and more intense.
Suddenly, the minister of Wei State, Xinlingjun stood up, bowed to King Zhao, and said in a deep voice: "King, the foreign minister has a question, I wonder if the king can answer it?"
King Zhao was in a good mood and smiled and said, "What's wrong with Xinling Jun, but it's okay."
Xinling Jun said, "I wonder if the king, who is the main force of these six-nation coalition forces?"
King Zhao said without hesitation: "Of course, it is mainly based on my Zhao State!"
Xinlingjun continued to ask, "Who will Zhao State send to be this chief general?"
King Zhao suddenly paused.
In fact, King Zhao has not made a decision yet.
However, Xinling Jun did not want King Zhao to really answer this question. Xinling Jun continued, "King, the view of foreign ministers.
Lian Po, the general of your country, is getting stronger and stronger. He once defeated Bai Qi in person in the Battle of Changping. He is the best candidate for the six countries to attack Qin!”
After hearing this, the Prime Minister of Qi, Banghousheng was a little unable to sit still and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Xinling is such a bad word.
Zhao Kuo, the Grand Marshal of Zhao State, was young and promising, and was the real leader of the Battle of Changping. He commanded and defeated Bai Qi's first meritorious minister.
Zhao Kuocai should be the one who serves as the chief general!”
Since Hou Sheng became the "General Agent of Qi" of Ginseng, he has obviously been attracted by Zhao Kuo.
Xinling Jun laughed and said, "Whose contribution to the Battle of Changping is known to everyone.
General Zhao Kuo is about to get married anyway, so he should live with the Princess of Qi at home, so don’t get involved in this matter.”
Zhao Kuo, who had been sitting aside and drinking quietly, put down his wine glass, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
This Xinling Jun is here to cause trouble.
