Chapter 225 Discussion on Reward
Seeing King Yan's hesitation, Zhong Yu didn't force him too much. After all, now is the period of cooperation, and he still needs the contribution of Yan State. The remaining 60,000 troops of Yan State are very important to the coalition forces today. a force of
But being unable to persecute does not mean that one cannot be tempted.
Now, Yan State, after being ravaged by Yu State, first lost half of its territory and population, and then when it was licking its wounds, it was forced to drag 100,000 troops to the front line to fight against the behemoth Qin State.
After all this tossing, the Yan Kingdom can be said to be on its last legs. If it were not surrounded by allies and no enemies, it would have perished on its own.
Therefore, Yan State urgently needs to restore its strength through external plunder, at least to make its territory wider.
"King Yan, the current Yan Kingdom is already one or two of the weakest among the kingdoms. If we don't think about changing, I'm afraid it will soon be destroyed!" Sighing, Zhong Yu said to King Yan.
Hearing the words of this person beside him, King Yan was startled. Could it be that he wanted to force himself to promote the big hammer? My country of Yan has become like this, most of it is not caused by you.
Thinking of this, Yan Wang slowly began to become unbalanced and resentful.
"Although the big iron hammer has merit, it is enough to reward some money, wine and meat! If the reward is too great, I am afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among others, and it will increase many worries in vain!" King Yan said lightly.
Today's King Yan has also become smarter. He knows that although the threats to him from the Yu Kingdom still exist, they are all hidden in the dark, and it is impossible to come out clearly.
After all, Yan State is one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, and it is the country that has existed for the longest time. It has been eight hundred years now.
Now that he has joined the alliance, he belongs to the same faction as the Yu Kingdom of this person in front of him. If he dares to attack him, it will definitely cause the entire alliance to be alienated, and it is not impossible to completely collapse.
So to a large extent, the country of Yan doesn't have to be afraid of the country of Yu, because Yun country needs its own country of Yan to cheer for him and contribute its people.
"Leaving aside the reward of the big hammer for the time being, let's talk about how to find a way out after the war of Yan Kingdom! Now Yan Kingdom has a small territory and sparse population. Compared with South Korea, it is not much better, so why In order to survive in this troubled world, we must make some decisions to change the status quo!" After laughing a few times, Zhong Yu put aside the sledgehammer and began to talk about world affairs with King Yan.
"Doesn't the lonely king know what the state of Yan is like now? But the strength of Yan is weak, and there are other things to do! Is your country willing to return the three counties of Liaodong to my country?" After hearing the words, King Yan had some Touched, but remembering that the chief culprit that led to the present state of Yan is the person in front of him, so he stabbed a little bit.
"Hehe, King Yan was joking. The three counties of Liaodong were won by the blood of our warriors. How can we just abandon them? Although there is no hope for the three counties of Liaodong, the world is so big and the territory is so vast. Why doesn't King Yan go there? Looking south?" With a few chuckles, Zhong Yu avoided the issue of returning the land and changed the subject.
"Is the king talking about the land of the Qin State now? But after it is conquered, it is thousands of miles away from the Yan State. How can our Yan State effectively control it? Sooner or later it will be another country's territory!" Yan Wang also sneered a few times, He is not stupid. Although the land of Qin State is good, it is too far away from Yan State.
If the King of Hades really takes over these lands, not only the country of Yan will send troops to guard them. It is also necessary to prevent the guarding generals from leaving the country of Yan, having a different heart, and directly turning the land into their own.
How could King Yan do such a thankless thing?
"The difficulty of the Yan Kingdom, this king naturally knows. Didn't my Yu Kingdom just abandon these lands? It's because they are too far apart and difficult to govern! But the Qin Kingdom can't do it. Did the King forget that it is in the south of the Yan Kingdom? There is another As for a big country, it has three thousand miles of fertile land and millions of people!" Zhong Yu named the topic, which was also the bait he used to lure King Yan.
"Qi State, is Your Majesty planning to start a war against Qi State? Our alliance has no other troops!" Hearing what Zhong Yu meant, King Yan was startled.
Today's Qin State, although it is no longer the same as the Qin State and called the two emperors of the East and the West, dominating the world, and was almost destroyed by the previous six-nation coalition forces, and let the Yan State occupy most of the Qi State. , the vitality is badly hurt.
However, after more than 40 years of cultivation, Qi has slowly recovered its vitality, and its population has grown to about 3 million, with a military strength of 400,000, dominating China.
If the alliance still provokes a war against the Qi country now, it will definitely provoke a strong enemy. The mobilization of Qi's entire army, with more than 600,000 troops, is really not something the current alliance can fight against the enemy.
"The King of Yan has said it before. Now that he is unable to deal with a state of Qin, how could this king provoke the great enemy of the State of Qi!" Shaking his head, Zhong Yu vetoed King Yan's guess.
"Oh, since His Highness doesn't want to attack Qi, how come the three thousand miles of fertile land in the south?" King Yan frowned, with some displeasure flashing in his eyes, he thought Zhong Yu was teasing him.
"His Royal Highness Yan, why don't you think about it. The current war is nearing the end. As long as the battle on the upper, middle and lower fronts is over, the alliance and the three parties of Qin will cease their troops. As long as the alliance can maintain an unbeaten situation, even if the battle ends If there is a tie, Qin will inevitably retreat back to Hangu Pass, quietly recuperating, and licking the wound. At that time, won't our alliance be free? Qi stood behind and watched the good show for so long, It's time for him to cry!" Zhong Yu laughed, and said the next bait he would use to lure the Six Kingdoms
"However, can our alliance win now? It's still unknown, and even if we win, how much power will we have to attack Qi?" King Yan's heart has already changed a bit, but the confusion about the future makes him He still hesitated.
"Naturally, we have strength. After repelling Qin, we should be able to take Sanchuan County. At that time, this can be given to South Korea. With the supplement of this county, South Korea should be able to restore its strength to 100,000.
As for the State of Wei, although it has suffered heavy losses now, it should be no problem to spend 200,000 people at that time. The situation of the State of Zhao is similar to that of the State of Wei.
As for the state of Chu, which has a vast land and abundant resources, the few soldiers who died now are nothing to him, and more than 300,000 people are more than enough. As for the country of Yan, it should be no problem to have an army of 200,000 in the country of Yan! After talking in detail, Zhong Yu slowly expressed his request to form an alliance again.
