Even someone as sophisticated as Lord Xinling has to admit that he should, maybe, maybe made a mistake. This group of people is simply incompetent and resourceful.
"Gentlemen, please be patient. General Lian Po has already spoken. He is eight points sure of the battle at Shangdang. If he enters Hanoi, his certainty will be reduced by two points. If he thinks otherwise, he may arouse Qin's determination to retaliate. The whole country will be defeated." War, we will regret it immensely." Lord Xinling persuaded everyone to leave in the name of Lian Po.
However, these words were very harsh when they were pointed at China by Long Yangjun and others.
"What does it mean that General Lian Po has spoken first?"
"Does my great state Wei still want to listen to a defeated general?"
"It's okay to let Lian Po lead the army, but not to discuss politics."
"The most important thing is that you are the only one who has met Lian Po, so it's not up to you to say what you want? Then aren't we making wedding clothes for you?"
In an instant, Lord Long Yang had thousands of thoughts in his mind.
Just when I felt something was wrong and wanted to speak out against something, the words were blocked in my mouth again - yes, what did I object to?
At this moment, a weak voice sounded in the hall, instantly causing the hall to fall into a strange silence.
"Since we are only 50 to 60 percent sure of taking over Hanoi County, why would we, the Wei Dynasty, send troops to help Zhao State pull chestnuts out of the fire?" A minister said slowly: "Why don't we let them continue to fight and deal with it after the Zhao army is defeated. "
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers present finally woke up.
What were you talking about just now? Are you crazy? Return to Hedong, Hexi, or even Hangu Pass?
How dare you!
The opponent of Zhao State is Qin State! Although the prosperity of the six kingdoms could not reach half a step into Hangu, the Qin State, which gathered the attacks of the six kingdoms, could not shake even a single brick of Hangu.
The other countries don’t know how powerful Qin is, but we, the great Wei State, have suffered enough losses.
Ever since Wei Yang rebelled against the Qin people and brought reforms to the Qin people, our country of Wei has never won a war with the Qin people! Gongzi Xian and Gongzi Xian were captured, Longjia and Longjia were killed. Hexi, Hedong, Hanoi and even the former capital Anyi City were occupied by the Qin people.
Taking possession is not enough, from Che Ying (who was sent as an envoy to the Wei State after the second and third wars in Hexi) to Zhang Yi and then to Fan Sui, there is no one who has not humiliated the great Wei State in the court.
How come, within a few years, I completely forgot about it? !
Suddenly, the ministers seemed to have returned to the silent scene of Yaque being beaten by the Qin army and then suppressed by its envoys in the court.
"Your Majesty, the current conflict between Zhao and Qin is like a fight between two tigers. If our army advances rashly, it may attract the tigers and harm them. Why not take advantage of this moment when our army still has the initiative and wait and see for a while? "Fan, wait until the tiger is weak, then attack again, you can gain the advantage and retreat completely." Seeing this, Lord Longyang hurriedly followed the words of the courtier.
"Long Yangjun's words are actually what he said to seek the country!" A Wei Chen from Longyang Jun's camp immediately agreed.
Is what Long Yangjun said wrong?
Obviously not. It would be the safest and most beneficial to wait until Qin and Zhao are exhausted before going out to harvest corn.
But the problem is that the main force of the Zhao army is now in danger and may be surrounded by the Qin army at any time. They are just waiting for the Wei army to survive. There is no need to wait any longer.
It is foreseeable that if the Wei State really agrees to Lord Long Yang's request and continues to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the only result will be to sit back and watch the main force of the Zhao army be surrounded and annihilated. Then there is no more.
The Zhao army did not dare to send troops while it was still there. Now that the main force of the Zhao army is gone, how can it dare to tease the Qin army again? Even when the time comes, not only will the ministers not reflect on it, but they will criticize it and say: Look, the Qin army was completely wiped out even if it was as powerful as the Zhao army. If they had sent troops to aid Zhao, I am afraid that the Wei state would also fill in.
Once this idea prevails, Qin will destroy the country, Zhao will be in danger of subjugation, and Wei will probably not dare to send troops anymore.
If the State of Zhao is destroyed, how can the State of Wei survive alone?
Just when Lord Xinling felt helpless, the situation in the field changed drastically again.
The people who were clamoring to go to their hometown in Xianyang just now seemed to have "fear of Qin" again, and they all advised Wei Guo to wait, see and discuss again.
And their opinions are surprisingly consistent: Although Hanoi County is beautiful, Daliang Zhi'an is the most important!
It was really a wave of ups and downs. I finally suppressed the arrogance of everyone. When I turned my head, I saw that everyone had already rushed to the side that avoided the battle.
Seeing that this great opportunity to resist Qin was about to be wasted in the collective panic of everyone, Lord Xinling knew that he had to speak out and stop everyone from avoiding the war. Lord Xinling understood that this battle might be the last chance for Wei to rise again.
"That's what Mr. Longyang said!" Mr. Xinling coughed slightly, and his voice rose a little, just enough to suppress the buzzing chatter of the people present: "It makes sense."
After the words fell, the ministers were shocked again!
What? Are you hallucinating?
It was Mr. Xinling who was talking just now! He actually agreed with Long Yangjun's words?
Was it Lord Xinling who suggested aiding Zhao against Qin? Why did you give up? I am also ready to argue with Mr. Xinling!
Even King Wei, who was sitting on the throne, was astonished.
To be honest, King Wei actually did not agree with everyone's rush to say that this battle was not possible. The reason is very simple, but also very sincere - Hanoi County was lost from his hands, and King Wei wanted to get this homeland back more than anyone present.
The King of Wei was well aware of the current situation. Not to mention that Qin and Zhao had been fighting for several years and the divisions and veterans were exhausted. Just the fact that Lian Po agreed to serve as Wei's general had greatly increased his chances of victory. King Wei knew that if he missed this time, it would be difficult to get such an opportunity again.
Of course, what Long Yangjun said, including the Qin army's combat power reminded by the ministers, also always tugged on the fragile nerves of King Wei. King Wei was actually in great confusion and entanglement as to whether he could fight or whether he should fight.
At this time, Lord Xinling, the "initiator", actually supported Lord Longyang's words again, which was really difficult for King Wei to accept, who was still struggling.
Of course, Lord Xinling's next words quickly cleared up King Wei's doubts.
"A detailed analysis of Long Yangjun's words has two meanings: First, Zhao must be saved. If he does not save, his lips will die and his teeth will be cold, and Zhao will perish and Wei will be in danger; second, to save Zhao, we need to wait for the battle between Qin and Zhao, and we will be exhausted. Let our troops risk their own lives and save Zhao Ye." Lord Xinling looked around at the crowd and interpreted Lord Long Yang's words literally: "Jun Long Yang, I don't know what my explanation is, is it true?"
When Lord Long Yang heard this, his expression also changed.
Lord Xinling's explanation was correct, but he just wanted to delay and let it go, but such words were obviously not on the table.
