Just when Tu Jia and King Qin were at a loss what to do, Fan Sui suddenly spoke up.
"Send it to my king." Fan Sui cupped his fists and said, "This matter is actually not difficult."
"Oh?" King Qin suddenly said in surprise: "Please tell me quickly if you have any good strategies for the Prime Minister."
"Yes. This matter is simple to say." Fan Sui continued: "The reason why Han and Wei are bound is that they are in similar situations and have the same interests. In this way, as long as the King of Han can see that in fact, the interests of Wei and Wei are not the same. If there is no consistency, the alliance will naturally be broken.”
"But the problem is that the interests of Han and Wei are the same?!" King Qin asked with some confusion.
"How can it be the same?" Fan Sui said with a smile: "If it is the same, why did the Kingdom of Han only have a few tens of thousands of troops when they sent out troops this time, while the Kingdom of Wei had an army of hundreds of thousands? You need to know that in the battle of Changping, although the Kingdom of Han lost The state of Shangdang, and the state of Wei lost an army of 100,000. In terms of losses, the state of Wei is still higher than the state of Han." King Qin nodded and said: "Let's discuss it in detail, Prime Minister."
"Yes." Fan Sui then continued: "The country of Han has only one county and only tens of thousands of troops; the country of Wei, although it has lost a large area of land east of and west of Hexi, still has several counties and no less than 100 soldiers with armor. One hundred thousand; the national strength of the two countries is not the same, but it is only because of the coercion of our Qin and Zhao countries that they became the same as the countries of Han."
"So it's true." King Qin nodded and said, "Although King Wei is weak, Lord Xinling has the heart of a tiger and a wolf. The journey of a tiger and wolf is not something that the likes of Han can do. Those who are."
"My king has hit the mark." Fan Sui applauded, stroking his palms, and then continued what King Qin said: "In this battle, the Wei State has contributed so much force, even more troops than the Zhao State, and must want to gain more land. However, if the country of Han is given land, how can it maintain it? The example of Shangdang is not far away. Therefore, Wei's desire is to seize Zhou's land and enrich itself, so it will not hesitate to lose troops and generals; and Han's hope Those who stick to it will protect themselves. If there is a big loss, it will definitely not be what they want."
"In this way, the interests of the two countries may seem to be the same, but they are essentially different. One is for the benefit of the land, the other is just for self-protection, one is willing to pay a price for it, but the price for the other is as small as possible." King Qin immediately concluded.
"Of course." Fan Sui also nodded and said, "As long as King Han can see the difference clearly, this covenant will naturally be broken." After saying that, King Qin and Fan Sui both looked at Tu Jia again. The meaning is obvious: What is the plan of the Prime Minister?
Can you handle King Han? Tu Jia swallowed silently, then bowed slightly and said: "To my king, I dare not hide it. The King of Han is weak and hesitant. Even if I point out the power of it, I am afraid it will be difficult to make a decision for a while. March 3 In the future, I'm afraid it will still be...somewhat difficult." Tu Jia also told the truth. After all, the King of Han was a little stupid, but it was not to the point of changing his order every day.
If the time line is extended and the results are in vain for a long time, the King of Han may be worried about the damage to his troops and may believe his words. However, the battle has not been fought for long and he withdraws his troops. This is something that no one can do. Decide.
When King Qin heard this, he didn't mean to blame it. Obviously, he also understood that even if he found the gap, under the current situation, it would be almost impossible to go deep, let alone pry it open.
Fan Sui on the side was not surprised when he saw this. However, the strategy proposed by the dignified Prime Minister of Qin was not that simple.
Tu Jia's voice fell, and Fan Sui's voice immediately started again.
"Since the King of Han cannot clearly see the situation, it is necessary for us, the elite soldiers of the Qin Army, to tell the King of Han the current situation with reality." Fan Sui still said calmly.
"What do you mean by the prime minister?" King Qin seemed to have understood Fan Sui's thoughts.
"Of course." Fan Sui nodded and said: "This is also the second thing that I want to say. Maybe General Wang Lu can be ordered to specialize in the Korean army, causing a lot of losses to the Korean army. It depends on whether the King of Han is in a hurry or not. ?”
"If it can cause heavy losses to the Han army, the King of Han will not be able to bear it. Especially when Zhao, Wei, and Chu have no major damage." King Qin nodded and agreed with Fan Sui's idea.
But then, King Qin asked again: "But what if the coalition forces avoid fighting and our army is unable to cause damage to the Korean army? Attacking the camp by force is probably not a good strategy. Even if it wins, it will cause a large number of casualties to our army." .”
"Attacking a stronghold is naturally not a good strategy." Faced with King Qin's question, Fan Sui had obviously already thought of the answer, and immediately replied simply: "From what I can see: it can cut off the Korean army's food route."
"Cut off Han's army's food route?" King Qin still asked with some doubts.
"Of course." Fan Sui nodded and affirmed.
"The way for the Korean army to transport food will indeed pass through the land occupied by our army. However, even if our army can cut off the food route for the Korean army, the way for the Wei army to transport food will hardly need to pass through, and the Zhao State is also close at hand. Even Even if our army can threaten them, can they all be defeated?" King Qin asked with some confusion.
"Indeed, our army is unable to cut off the food routes of the four countries, but our army only needs to cut off the food routes of South Korea." Fan Sui replied calmly.
"If we can't completely cut it off, what's the point?" King Qin became even more puzzled and said, "Wei and Zhao have food, wouldn't they temporarily lend some food and grass to the Korean army?"
"Of course." Fan Sui said with a smile: "But it doesn't matter once or twice. We borrow food every time. Wouldn't Zhao and Wei be a little suspicious? Even if Zhao and Wei had no doubts, Chu State, which traveled across mountains and rivers to transport food, , will you feel unbalanced?"
"Whether Zhao and Wei are suspicious of Han Zhiguo's intentions, or Chu State has a sense of imbalance, as long as one of the two is present, this borrowing of food will not be possible." Before King Qin could ask questions, Fan Sui continued: " Once the news about the lack of food on the front line and the unwillingness of Zhao and Wei to borrow food comes back to Han, the king of Han will definitely have discord no matter how much he trusts Wei."
"This is caused by human nature. Even the states of Zhao and Wei know it, and it is difficult to break it." After hearing this, King Qin immediately touched his palms and sighed: "The policy of the Prime Minister is indeed exquisite."
"Send it to my king." Fan Sui said with some embarrassment: "Although this plan is good, the key is that General Wang Hao can completely block the Korean army's food route. It must be strictly controlled for at least one month. If the Korean army's food and grass are It’s enough, even for one month.”
"Yes." King Qin nodded slightly, but he was not worried at all. If he wanted to cut off Zhao's food routes, King Qin might find it a bit troublesome, but if he wanted to cut off Han's food routes, King Qin believed that Wang Lu could still do it.
Of course, the premise is that the State of Zhao will not divide its troops to assist the State of Han in transporting grain. However, it might not be a bad thing if the Zhao army sends a large number of troops to transport grain for the Kingdom of Han. When General Wang Lu attacks Wei's grain roads again, what will happen to Zhao? There are also Chu's long supply lines. It is even more difficult for the army to take care of them all.
Even if Zhao really dared to attack with a large army and fight a decisive battle in the wild with the coalition forces, King Qin would not be unable to accept it.
"Tu Aiqing, what do you think?" King Qin did not make a decision on this. After all, it was up to Tu Jia to persuade South Korea to withdraw. Naturally, King Qin asked Tu Jia for his opinion.
But, what else could Tu Jia say? It was his immediate superior, Xiangguo Fan Sui, who made the suggestion. Your Majesty, you are the one who made the suggestion.
The word "exquisite" has made a judgment about it, so what can a mere doctor in charge of foreign affairs say?
Besides, this is the only way at the moment. What if he said that this plan would not work and Wang Shangfei asked him to think of a way out?
People who can be diplomatic envoys are very smart. Of course, consent is consent, and the responsibility must be shied away, so naturally one cannot speak too fully.
Ambiguity is a basic skill that a good diplomat must have. Immediately, Tu Jia clasped his fists and replied: "If General Wang Lu can follow the plan to cut off the Korean army's food and divert the coalition forces, I will be 80% sure that I can persuade the Korean king to withdraw. As for a counter-attack, we need to use It depends on the battlefield situation." Obviously, Tu Jia's words almost completely shook off all the responsibilities on his body.
The matter of cutting off the food and fodder of the Korean army can be quantified, but the matter of the coalition's separation cannot be proven at all. Perhaps only the King of Korea agrees to withdraw the troops can prove the coalition's separation.
In other words: If I fail to persuade the King of Han, it is not that I have failed, but that General Wang Hao has not been deprived of food long enough to disengage the coalition forces.
Those who work can never outperform those who make ppts. This has been true since ancient times! It's a pity that the bosses above me don't think so.
"It is a great achievement to persuade the King of Han to withdraw his troops." King Qin immediately said to Tu Jia
The sense of responsibility, responsibility and clear self-awareness of "the courage to take on heavy responsibilities and the courage to admit gaps" were highly praised.
Tu Jia on the side was a little embarrassed when he saw King Qin's praise. If he really achieved the goal of centrifugal force, even if he sent a dog, he would be able to persuade King Han to retreat.
Immediately, in order to live up to King Qin's praise, Tu Jia still made a small suggestion from his perspective.
"My king is so flattering." Tu Jia immediately clasped his fists and said, "The Prime Minister has put pressure on Han Zhiguo from the military and political directions, but the minister has a suggestion from the diplomatic direction. I don't know whether to talk about it or not."
"Today's discussion is to ask you and the two of you to speak freely. As long as it is beneficial to our great Qin, we can say anything." King Qin immediately waved his hand after hearing this.
"Yes." Tu Jia nodded, and then said: "Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit. Now that I have shaken the heart of the King of Han, I will use great profits to induce the King of Han to completely fall to me, the Qin Dynasty. .”
"Oh?" King Qin frowned slightly and said, "What kind of benefit?" Although King Qin only frowned slightly, it was obvious that King Qin did not want to benefit other countries.
Also, since King Qin Zhuangxiang ascended the throne and came to power, the Qin State's national power has been booming. It has long passed the stage where Qin Xiaogong was struggling, and there is no need to trade the Lishi Fortress in exchange for the important land in Hexi like King Qin Huiwen.
It can be said that for a long time, Qin no longer needed to compromise with any country.
Even after the Battle of Changping, Qin only bowed slightly to Zhao. But now, Tu Jia actually wants Qin to give in to Han?
A Han country with only one county is worthy of him? ! In his heart, King Qin looked down on the country of Han.
Of course, King Qin also knew very well that the art of politics is compromise, and compromising when it is time to compromise is also the most basic quality of a good politician.
Although he felt King Qin's displeasure, Tu Jia still had the courage to continue speaking.
"First, promise him one-third of the land of Zhou Wangji except Luodu." Tu Jia's words were very soft, but they hit King Qin's heart hard.
"One third?" King Qin murmured. Obviously, King Qin's face was already a little worried: Is this just one of them?
"My dear, do you know what the one-third of the land of Zhou Wangji means?" King Qin's words were a bit stiff, and then he said viciously: "This one-third of the land is enough to expand the current territory of Han by half!"
"Wei Chen knows it. But Wei Chen knows even more that if one-third of the land is given to the Kingdom of Han, it means that even if the Kingdom of Han helps the coalition forces to defeat our Qin army, they will not get such a big benefit." Tu Jia looked down slightly. head, but his voice remained firm.
This is not Tu Jia's strong point, but this matter is too important. If he cannot convince the King of Han, not only will he be affected, but more importantly, this war that Qin cannot lose may be completely lost.
As a native of Lao Qin, we must minimize risks. For myself, for the King of Qin, and for the sake of the State of Qin, even if it angers the King of Qin.
However, as soon as Tu Jia's words came out, the already somewhat angry King Qin suddenly became discouraged. Yes, in the Four-Nation Alliance, the Kingdom of Han sent less than a quarter of its troops, and the benefits gained were only a quarter at most. This was under the conditions tolerated by the other countries. If one-third of the land was given to the Kingdom of Han, it would be Will King Han be moved by his short-sightedness?
Although he lost one-third of his land, the land was not placed with Han Zhiguo as if it were placed in his own home.
Just wait until you accumulate strength again and take it back with profit. What's more, if the land close to the Zhao State is given to South Korea, it can also isolate the direct conflict with the Zhao State to a certain extent. In this way, the Han State serves as a buffer area and warning zone, regardless of whether it is the Qie Chu State. It would be more convenient to go to Wei State.
The more he thought about it, the more King Qin felt that Tu Jia's suggestion was feasible. Immediately, King Qin took a long breath and apologized to Tu Jia in a gentle tone: "Tu Aiqing's words are actually for the sake of the country. I just lost my temper. Don't blame me for loving you."
"My king's words are serious." After hearing King Qin's words, Tu Jia dared not accept the king's apology and quickly clasped his fists.
After waving his hand, King Qin continued: "What Aiqing just said is just one of them. If you have any other suggestions, please continue. I am all ears." After hearing this, Tu Jia swallowed his saliva, and then said calmly: "Please My king has sent a hostage to the country of Han."
