"Your Majesty, please agree to King Qin quickly!"
Late at night, a low sound of begging came from the Han Palace.
It was the doctor of Han Zhiguo who was earnestly persuading the still wavering King of Han.
"If we don't agree, our family will be completely ruined!"
"Even if we defeat Qin, we will only get a quarter of the land. We might as well follow Qin and get a third of the land."
A group of ministers almost unanimously spoke about Xiang for Qin.
Do these meat eaters have a point? Maybe there is, but with so many people saying it in unison, it's obviously not that simple.
This is of course the credit of the Qin State's Black Ice Platform.
Not to mention all of the so-called confidants standing next to the King of Han, almost 80% have accepted gifts from Qin. In addition, Qin has left an almost unshakable impression on South Korea over the years. The remaining two Cheng, even if he felt something was wrong, he just stood aside quietly, not daring to say any rebuttal.
However, even so, King Han still hesitated a little.
"Qin?" King Han frowned and murmured, "But I'm afraid Qin will regret it after the war is over!"
As soon as King Han's words came out, everyone was unable to refute.
Qin's reputation among the six countries is really not good, especially after Zhang Yi deceived Chu. Although Qin's national power is constantly rising, its national credibility is declining year by year.
This is something that almost every king in every country knows, but because of the power of Qin, all countries dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Also because of the strength of Qin, there are fewer and fewer opportunities for Qin to use deception, but kings have memories, and Qin's credibility has not improved slightly because of its dominance over the years.
Now that the Qin State is asking for help, the King of Han also knows that this condition is much better than that offered by the Zhao State. Not only is it beneficial, it can also reduce his own losses. Even the King of Han believes that if he changes sides, the Qin State will have a greater chance of winning this offer. A war.
But the question is, can Qin, whose reputation has been bankrupt once, still be trusted?
After the words fell, King Han immediately raised his head, trying to find an answer from his confidant.
Obviously, listening to King Han's worries and looking at King Han's actions, it is not difficult to find that King Han's heart has actually been greatly biased towards Qin. All he needs is a reasonable reason or even an excuse.
Naturally, among King Han's confidants, there were people who were good at observing words and emotions, and they could guess what King Han meant.
Then he stood up, bowed slightly to the King of Han, and said: "To my king, I think that the current Qin State is trustworthy."
"Oh?" King Han suddenly became interested, stretched out his right hand to help the person up, and said, "My dear, please tell me in detail."
Just one word "oh" completely woke everyone up.
What are you thinking about? Do you need to judge for yourself whether Qin is reliable or not?
What the king wants is just a ladder. How could he be so stupid and let others take the lead?
Immediately, several pairs of sharp eyes pierced the doctor surnamed Ji who was standing in front of King Han like blades.
"Yes." The doctor surnamed Ji was not afraid of the stage. He straightened up slowly in response to the burning eyes of his colleagues, and then continued: "As a countryman, if it suits the interests of the country, then move, and if it does not suit the interests of the country, then slow down. I am South Korea. This is the case, and so is the state of Qin."
"Zhang Yi destroyed the alliance back then because there was no one in the world to control it. It was destroyed without harm, so it should be destroyed." Doctor Ji continued to analyze: "The world today is not the world back then. The rise of Zhao, although Qin The country cannot resist. Two powerful powers are fighting, and if one party regrets the alliance, it is tantamount to surrendering the countries of Shandong to its opponent. With the wisdom of Qin, it will never do this."
After the words fell, King Han nodded unconsciously.
Obviously, King Han was stunned by Doctor Ji's words.
It's not that Doctor Ji's words are completely wrong, but there is a premise for this. You, the Kingdom of Han, cannot be the first country to break the contract!
You have tricked the State of Zhao, does the State of Zhao still dare to accept you?
The State of Zhao no longer dares to accept you. Will there still be any psychological burden due to the State of Qin breaking the contract?
However, the beauty of Doctor Ji's words was that he promptly replaced the role of the Kingdom of Han with the Five Kingdoms of Shandong, as if Qin's betrayal of the Kingdom of Han would be tantamount to betraying the Five Kingdoms of Shandong.
Naturally, this logic seems very reasonable.
King Han, who was in urgent need of an excuse, of course would not delve into it, and was immediately moved by Doctor Ji's words behind his back.
Not only that, all the confidants who were just one step behind also reacted, and immediately stepped forward and continued to advise: "Not only that, we can also ask the King of Qin to personally sign the credential. With the credential by his side, the Qin Kingdom will not be underestimated." I regret my alliance."
"That's right!" Another person suggested: "Didn't the King of Qin say that he wanted to take Wang Sunyi as a hostage to Han? It would be too late for his hostage to go to Xinzheng first, and then my king would order the troops."
Listening to the various suggestions from his confidants, King Han, who was already biased towards Qin, was completely shaken.
In fact, the King of Han did not need to worry so much. Using only one-third of Zhou Wangji's land in exchange for the defeat of Zhao and the coalition forces, the King of Qin made a fortune without any hesitation.
As for whether the contract will be broken in the future, King Qin said: It will not happen sooner or later.
Not to mention the mere land of Zhou Wangji, even Xinzheng will belong to Qin sooner or later.
Of course, under the current situation, it is not the time for a decisive battle with Zhao State. Leaving one-third of the land to Han State can also form a buffer zone with Zhao State. Why wouldn't King Qin do it?
Whether in the eyes of King Qin or King Zhao, the Kingdom of Han has always been an existence worth mentioning. If you use it today, just say a few nice words and give some gold, silver and jade. If you don't like it one day, you have to exchange it for me with interest.
However, King Han and his confidants, who were at the bottom, could not see this level of King Qin at all.
Fortunately, the last trace of reason still held on to King Han, and did not let him completely fall to Qin easily.
"However." King Han still frowned and said, "Others are fine, but if the Zhao army hurts him in this battle, I am afraid that he will vent his anger on our country of Han. It would be okay if the Qin army rescues him. if......"
"Moreover, if the Zhao army suffers too much loss, it may not be able to suppress the Qin army, and our country of Han will also be in danger." Before anyone could interrupt, the King of Han continued shaking his head.
Of course, to put it nicely, this is the way for a weak country to be caught between powerful countries, and this is their only way to survive;
To put it bluntly, this is obviously the King of Han's "want to be something and establish something at the same time."
The doctor named Ji immediately understood the psychology of King Han and took the lead in making suggestions.
"Why does my king need to worry?" Doctor Ji continued: "In this battle, as long as our army does not help each other and retreats quietly, it will be enough to deal with both sides."
"The two don't help each other?" King Han frowned again and said: "Even if our armies don't help each other and retreat quietly, the Qin army will definitely take the opportunity to attack fiercely. The coalition forces are insufficient in strength and morale is low, and defeat is almost inevitable. Zhao Jun again How can you be alone?"
"Of course!" Doctor Ji said with a smile: "When our army withdraws from the coalition forces, the army will return from the north. With Zhao Jun's agility, how can he hide it? Since it is known that our army will retreat, General Lian Po will only Yes, how can you not have the ability to protect yourself?"
"Then Wei and Chu..." King Han said somewhat unbearably.
"On the contrary, if our army flees, we must try our best to hide it from the two armies." Doctor Ji immediately said: "If our army is moving around the north to deal with the Zhao State, then our army's quiet departure from the camp is an apology to the Qin State. If it is Without the defeat of Wei and Chu, Qin would not be willing to accept it."
"What I am worried about is the revenge of Wei and Chu." King Han continued.
"Then there is no need to worry." Doctor Ji then continued: "Let's talk about Chu first. Although it is thousands of miles away, there are less than a million armored men. Between it and our country of Han, there is also the Qin army and Zhou Wangji's barrier. Even if you want to If they want to attack, Qin will not take advantage of it; as for Wei, they have almost all of the 100,000 troops on the battlefield. If they are destroyed in one battle, what ability will Wei have to retaliate against us?"
"What Doctor Ji said makes sense." The close ministers around him also agreed with Doctor Ji's analysis, and went on to say: "As long as Zhao and Qin continue to restrict each other, there will be a chance for our country Han to survive. Today we will win the land of Zhou Wangji, and tomorrow Either he goes south with the Qin army and learns about the Chu land, or he fights with the Zhao army in the land of the Three Jin Dynasties. If the two meet, there may not be a way for our country of Han to rise."
Listening to the words of persuasion around him, King Han suddenly became cheerful.
Indeed, with the strength of the Korean army and its special geographical location, apart from Zhao and Qin, there really is no need to worry too much about other countries.
Nodding silently, King Han immediately announced: "As the ministers said, we will temporarily unite with Qin and abandon Zhao."
"Doctor Ji, I'll leave the negotiation on this matter to you." King Han said while looking at Doctor Ji beside him.
After the words fell, everyone's eyes once again struck the doctor surnamed Ji like blades.
Not because he gained the trust of the King of Han, but more importantly, because he was responsible for negotiating with the Qin people!
Qin people have always been generous.
Just to give him a few nice words, the Qin people carried several boxes of gold, silver and jade. If they were in charge of negotiations, they couldn't deliver them one by one!
Of course the doctor surnamed Ji understood that this was an affirmation for his courage to answer the call just now, and it was also a praise for his quick response. He immediately clasped his fists and accepted the order: "Yes."
"Tell the envoy of the State of Qin: The King of Qin has personally written the letter of credence and the pledges are in place. Only then will we sign the alliance." The King of Han then told Dr. Ji: "In addition, you must make it clear to the envoy of Qin: Our Korean army is weak and cannot be consumed any more." , the withdrawal has reached the limit, and we are unable to counterattack the coalition forces."
"Yes, Wei Chen understands." Doctor Ji agreed immediately.
Some people died, but not completely...
