Chapter 66 The King of Qin is Afraid of Zhao Kuo?
Xianyang.
The King of Qin sat at the head of the hall, his face was very serious, and his joy and anger were unpredictable.
At the lower head of the King of Qin, Xiangbang Fan Sui's face was equally serious.
With the two leaders like this, the group of ministers under their command are naturally silent, fearing that they will become the targets of these two big bosses to vent their anger.
After a long time, the King of Qin finally broke the peace: "Now Zhao Kuo has led his troops to South Korea, and everyone talks about how to solve it!"
Since the King of Qin had already asked his ministers to offer advice, the ministers naturally could not remain silent.
Xiangbang Fan Sui took a deep breath and said slowly: "King, it's not that the old minister deliberately wanted to pour cold water. Although Wu'an Jun did defeat the Allied Forces of the Six Nations in Yiyang City, Zhao Kuo... is different from others after all."
After Fan Sui finished speaking, the others nodded.
Why is Zhao Kuo different?
Of course, it was because Zhao Kuo broke the record of Wu'an Jun Bai Qi's victory in every battle, annihilated 300,000 Qin troops, and gave everyone who thought Qin would unify the world an extremely loud slap! Zhao Kuo is the well-deserved general in the world now! When such a person stands opposite Qin, how could the Qin monarch and ministers not be under great pressure?
The King of Qin snorted and said unhappily: "Of course I know that Zhao Kuo is different from others, but the problem now is that Zhao Kuo is about to arrive, but you guys are still quarreling with each other day. It's simply outrageous!"
After the assassination of Zhao Kuo failed, the King of Qin actually thought about looking for a second chance, but Zhao Kuo was not a fool, so even if Ji Hou personally went to Handan for so long, the second assassination plan was declared bankrupt without being implemented.
Qin State had to face Zhao Kuo again.
Fan Sui was silent for a long time, and suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "King, the victory of the Battle of Yiyang is enough. Now the Six-Nation Alliance has collapsed. Why not... just stop the battle!"
As soon as Fan Sui said this, the hall suddenly became in an uproar.
But after the uproar, many people actually agreed.
"King, Ying Hou is right, Zhao Kuo... is still too strong after all."
"Yes, since Daqin has won the victory, he should continue to recuperate and restore the manpower lost in the Battle of Changping is the best strategy."
"King, I also feel it's time to end this military operation."
...The King of Qin looked at the group of ministers in front of him and was silent for a moment.
He knew these ministers were scared.
They were afraid that Qin would suffer another great defeat like the Battle of Changping when facing Zhao Kuo.
Once Bai Qi loses to Zhao Kuo again and destroys all the 150,000 Qin troops on the front line, then all the elite troops of Qin will be gone! Without these soldiers who have won countless victories for the Qin Dynasty over the past so many years, no matter how large the Qin land and the population are, they can only face the result of passive beatings, just like the overlord Wei after the decline that year! The King of Qin took a deep breath and said nothing.
Of course he knew the concerns of his ministers, but... this is the Great Qin! Since Shang Yang's reform, the Great Qin has not surrendered in foreign wars for many years.
Even if it fails, the Qin Dynasty can block the enemy tightly and will not sign any humiliating treaties.
Now, just because Zhao Kuo is alone, will Daqin ask for peace from Zhao State in such panic?
The King of Qin sighed: "Of course I know what you said, but I... am unwilling to give up!"
The sigh of the King of Qin spread throughout the palace, making all the ministers of Qin bow their heads in shame.
Only Xiangbang Fan Sui was still looking at the King of Qin. Xiangbang's face was very determined and said seriously: "King, Zhao Kuo has not arrived before, so we still have room for discussion.
But according to the speed of the march, Zhao Kuo should have arrived in Yangcheng now. If he hesitates, he may... King, Da Qin can't take any more risks!"
After Fan Sui finished speaking, the ministers of Qin once again persuaded the King of Qin.
"King, this time Daqin is just giving in for the time being."
"King, Daqin will not always surrender to Zhao State. In just three or five years, Daqin will make a comeback!"
"King, there is no need to fight for this moment for the sake of the century-old cause of the Qin Dynasty."
For a moment, the hall was filled with the sound of peace talks.
It was not these Qin ministers who were afraid of death. In fact, these Qin ministers were more eager than the Qin king to expand their territory, because they could gain more credit.
In the final analysis, it is because everyone thinks that Bai Qi really can't beat Zhao Kuo! The King of Qin was silent for a long time, but still couldn't help but ask this question: "Wu'anjun... really can't beat Zhao Kuo?"
There was silence in the hall, and no one dared to answer this question, and even the prime minister Fan Sui dared not.
The King of Qin looked around and everyone present had already come up with the answer.
Seeing that the King of Qin was still struggling, Fan Sui spoke for the third time: "King, if the Qin Dynasty took the initiative to seek peace, it would be a bad thing for Zhao Kuo!"
The King of Qin moved slightly and looked at Fan Sui and said, "Yinghou, where do you start?"
Fan Sui smiled sinisterly and said, "Hasn't the king seen from the previous incident of Lian Po leading the army?
King Zhao was actually already afraid of Zhao Kuo.
If Zhao Kuo sent troops this time without any effort, and with just a name, our Qin Dynasty was so scared that he asked for peace from Zhao State, what would King Zhao think?"
The King of Qin suddenly felt enlightenment and subconsciously blurted out: "The King of Zhao will definitely be extremely afraid of Zhao Kuo, afraid that his achievements will shock the Lord and will suppress Zhao Kuo. It will be difficult for Zhao Kuo to get the opportunity to lead the army for a long time in the future!"
Why is Qin so clear? In fact, it is because Qin is also such a person.
Bai Qi, the Wu'an Jun of Qin, was also such a person who was very capable and shocked the Lord. Before the Battle of Changping, the King of Qin had not allowed Bai Qi to lead the troops for three years. However, after the defeat of Changping, the invincible halo on Bai Qi disappeared and no longer shocked the Lord. Therefore, Bai Qi was the chief general in the Battle of Yiyang again.
Putting your heart in mind, the Qin King’s thoughts about the young King Zhao can be said to be fully visible.
When the King of Qin thought of this, he finally smiled and said, "Very good. Since that's the case, then you should go to Handan in person to ask for peace with the King of Zhao! By the way, you must show that what I and Daqin are afraid of is not Zhao State, but Zhao Kuo!"
This is actually the most obvious plan of disagreement, but the King of Qin believes that the King of Zhao will definitely be fooled! Who said that Zhao Kuo can only be defeated on the battlefield?
