Chapter 69 Facing Choices on
Seeing that the king was moved, he got up and took a few steps forward and said, "Do you know how many war horses we have for 40,000 elites."
"Twmany thousand." Stay in the king's answer,
Chuhai nod and said, "The number is less than 20,000. According to the ministers sent it in return, even half of the soldiers guarding the city are equipped with war horses. Most of their elites are equipped with two to three horses, and they can travel 200 miles a day by changing to the galloping army."
Liu Wang's eyes widened and opened his mouth to ask questions, but then he seemed to think of it and said, "I think so many horses must be supplied by Fanbang."
"The king guessed right. His pawns guarding the city also hold fine iron swords and spears. Its sharpness is better than our elite weapons. This is supplied by the State of Xiang and the State of Qi. Both places are rich in refined iron. The large area of Shun Kingdom occupied by the State of Yi is precisely the richest place in Shunguo. Silk, hemp grain and other products are more than enough for the whole country. King, Yi The country is far from what we think is a small country. Even if the State of Zhao devotes the strength of the whole country to fight, it may not be able to win. I said that in terms of its military strength, material resources and talents, He Junshi is enough to reach a hundred good generals, and there are Shi Lang's help. Speaking of this, he shook his head and said, "The military master is a rare talent in the world. He is not only a family background, but also modest and wise. He has a demeanor at a young age. The king has seen him at the meeting of the League. He should not forget this person."
Liu Wang nodded slightly and said, "At that time, he was a military division of the State of Zhao. His calmness was far from his age. How can I forget it? He is the same age as He Junshi, but the one above the conference is as quiet as a pool, and the other is arrogant. Both teenagers are unforgettable and unpredictable."
"In the past, the sharpness of the military division was not revealed, which made people dare not underestimate it. After arriving at the State of Yi, it was amazing, and finally used his fists and feet."
"Which battle did he fight?" Liu Wang seems to be very interested,
"It was a big battle. The troops swept the whole territory of Xiangguo for thousands of miles and fled with the army. It is said that there were more than 50 battles, large and small battles. Whether it was a field battle or a city battle, they won cleanly and neatly, and there was no defeat."
Liu Wang praised: "Sure enough, he did not disgrace his father's reputation. There is no man under his reputation. The first use of the army was such a big battle. The State of Zhao lost his arm. Zhao Min's fortune was too thin. If he had ascended the throne two years earlier, he would never have lost Shi Lang with his shrewdness. Sometimes Lang was comparable to He Ran, and this battle was fought. The outcome is unpredictable. "
Chuhai is a pragmatic person and is not interested in this meaningless assumption. "The current situation is that two soldiers help the State of Yi together. At that time, the military division knew the State of Zhao very well. In this battle, the State of Zhao lost three points. In addition, the State of Shun attacked and disturbed, and then there were tens of thousands of elite soldiers who did not know when they would be killed. The king felt that Zhao The country has some chances of winning.
Liu Wang was silent and said for a long time, "In this way, the State of Zhao is in danger, but no matter how strong the army of the State of Yi is, it is difficult to swallow the State of Zhao in one fell swoop. No matter how many people they are, they can't send so many officials to control so many regions."
"What the king said is that it is impossible for the State of Yi to swallow the State of Zhao, but the next ten cities this year may be thirty cities next year. In less than three or five years, the State of Yi will replace the State of Zhao and become the hegemon." The tone of the woodcutter is very firm,
The king's face is sad, meditating and speechless,
Chuhai waited for a while and said, "At this time, we sent troops to save Zhao. Even if we tried to send 10,000 or 20,000 elites, it would not help at all. Even if we could temporarily block the Yi army's offensive, there was no possibility of fighting to determine the universe. Could it be that the people and horses we sent acted as the girres of the State of Zhao."
Liu Wang waved his hand and said, "I can't do this. At the beginning, I really thought I could win a battle. After listening to Aiqing's explanation, I should talk about sending troops from a long time."
There was a smile on the corners of his mouth and said, "I have said that sending troops is to set yourself on fire. Once you have a grudge against Yi Guo, the disaster will be endless."
Is it possible to leave the king: "We have always been the same as the State of Zhao. The last time we attacked in Xiping, the king of Zhao still drew troops to save him when he was deeply affected by Zhao Kun's rebellion. How can we turn against each other ruthlessly? This... Alas."
"The king felt guilty when he just opened his mouth. Of course, it is a gentleman's way to sacrifice his life to take righteousness, but it is the king's way to protect his people. The king's choice today will determine the misfortune and blessings of our tens of millions of people. Although the sipation of sending troops makes the king unhappy, the State of Zhao is no longer unable to look west. If he send troops, he will have a grudge against the country. The king also knows that the military division is The most affectionate people, such people have clear grudges. Once the soldiers come to the city in the future, they must come out of this evil spirit in their hearts. His cruel means are heard all over the world. Does the king really want to put tens of millions of people under the butcher's knife?
Liu Wang got up uneasily and paced back and forth. After a while, he stopped and asked, "The State of Yi can really rise so fast. It's only been a few years, and the State of Zhao really can't resist the enemy."
There was a wry smile on the corners of his mouth. He shook his head and said nothing. He had already said what he should say. The king's words were not so much questions as complaining and unwilling to believe the fact.
For Liu Wang, this matter was really too sudden, as if the world had changed in the blink of an eye. Previously, he had never dreamed of being threatened by Yi Guo. He had always felt that it was just a puppy that relied on the power of Kang Guo, although the little dog had a sharp tooth because of He Ran's support. But after all, it's not too small to worry. It's good for it to shrink in a corner to protect itself. Why did this little dog suddenly become a tiger?
"How about what you see according to Aiqing." Liu Wang finally sat down and stared at the wood and asked,
Qihai knew that he had accepted this fact. Just as he was about to speak, the courtier came in and gave him a brocade box. Johai opened the brocade box, took out a geographical map and presented it to the king. He said, "This is the geographical map of the five countries of Yi, Shun, Xiang, Qi and Fan drawn by the minister. Although it is simple and unknown, it can let the king know about it."
King Liu looked at the geographical map, and the expression on his face could not help changing. "Shun Kingdom has been swallowed up nearly half of it."
"It's about the same. Most of the details are drawn into this picture according to what I heard. Although the error is inevitable, it is generally not too outrageous. The south of the Rolling Dragon River is already easy."
This picture, which is outlined by only a few regions, allows King Liu to further understand the situation of all parties, and there is a little more worry in his eyes looking at Qi Hai again.
Chuhai said seriously: "It's not reasonable to send troops. We can send a weak brigade to support. The excuse is that the elite has been sent to rescue the imperial capital. It is righteous to save the emperor. Next, we will really send the elite to the direction of the capital. If there is a suitable opportunity to station there, we can also brag about fighting with Xiping. A few battles, pretending to plug the mouth of Zhao people.
It seems quite difficult to make a choice for the king to close his lips,
Chuhai advised: "The king can't wander between life and death. If you feel sorry, you can send some food and military resources to the State of Zhao. Even so, you can't publicize it. I still have some affection with He Junshi. I secretly send someone to communicate with him so that he can understand our intentions."
"If you lose the State of Zhao, how about Xiping attacking again? The distant water of the State of Yi can't put out the near fire." The king's curtain looked at him in an instant,
