Zhao Kuo looked at Lin Xiangru and talked happily.

"Now, let me analyze the other five countries except the Great Zhao and Wei.

First of all, even the kings of Qin and Qi were captured by our Great Zhao, and the ginseng industry in Yan was controlled by us at will. These three countries all hold grudges towards us, and there is no doubt about this.

The second is South Korea. South Korea was originally the weakest country among the seven heroes. What this country has always been good at is being a fence-bearing man, and wherever it is stronger.

So if other countries come together to attack Da Zhao, South Korea will inevitably stand opposite Da Zhao immediately."

When Lin Xiangru heard this, he finally couldn't help but interrupt: "Isn't there any Chu State?"

Chu State is a die-hard ally of our Da Zhao.

As long as the Zhao-Chu alliance is still there, Qin Qiyan will not dare to act rashly, and Han will not stand against Da Zhao."

Zhao Kuo slapped his face and said, "Wen Xinjun is right, but Chu... Haha, I'm sorry, the ally of Chu may be unstable now. You should be able to hear the news of Chu sending troops in the next two days!"

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, the faces of the Zhao king and ministers in the hall changed drastically.

The Empress Dowager couldn't help but speak, "Chu State really will defeat the alliance?"

Zhao Kuo nodded and thought to himself that Li Yuan's attitude was that there would be a ghost if the State of Chu did not defeat the alliance.

But Zhao Kuo cannot say such words directly. Otherwise, wouldn’t it prove that Zhao Kuo secretly had contact with the kings of other countries?

This is a serious sin.

Therefore, Zhao Kuo can only conduct analysis and draw conclusions through analysis.

Zhao Kuo analyzed: "The capital of Chu is Chencheng, which is not far from the junction of Chu and Wei.

what does that mean?

It means that if the Great Zhao conquered Daliang and destroyed the Wei Kingdom.

Then Chencheng, the capital of Chu, will be immediately exposed to the army of Da Zhao.

The Chu people could not allow such a thing to happen, so they would never let Wei be destroyed by Zhao.

I heard that the State of Chu had sent envoys to Handan before, hoping to mediate the war between Zhao and Wei, but it ended in failure.

In this way, Chu State had no other way out except betray the alliance between Da Zhao and the Great Zhao to aid Wei State!"

After Zhao Kuo's analysis, the others couldn't help but start thinking.

The more I think, the more I feel...it seems to make sense.

Lin Xiangru was unwilling to admit defeat and continued: "Handan, the capital of Zhao, is also close to Zhaoqi, and the border between Zhao and Wei is very close. Why didn't the Great Zhao react so fiercely?"

Zhao Kuo laughed and said, "Who said there is no?"

Since the Great Zhao moved its capital to Handan, wars broke out the most frequently with Wei and Qi.

how so?

Isn’t it because Handan is too close to the borders of these two countries?

The capital of Chu State has always been in Yingdu, which is a very large rear place.

Later, he was captured by Bai Qi and had no choice but to move to Chencheng, in order to help us, Han, Zhao and Wei.

But the State of Chu did not expect that now, our Great Zhao became stronger and replaced Qin and became the strongest country.

So now we are the biggest threat in the minds of the princes in the world, even in the hearts of allies like Chu.”

After Zhao Kuo said this, Lin Xiangru was speechless.

When it comes to verbal tricks, especially in military tricks, Zhao Kuo is not talking about anyone.

The idiom of talking about war on paper is placed here. Zhao Kuo from modern times and ancient times is one. Everyone here is rubbish. Thank you.

The Queen Mother began to feel a little shaken when she saw this scene.

To be fair, the Empress Dowager really hoped that someone would compete with Zhao Kuo in the military, so she agreed to the war request to destroy Wei.

But that is just a means of checks and balances between a king, and if things are related to national interests, that's different.

Zhao Kuo's military genius is well-known and must be admitted by everyone.

I didn’t listen to Zhao Kuo before, and the situation of being slapped in the face is vivid.

Isn’t it because of this that Lian Po was dismissed from office?

If Le Cheng repeated Lian Po’s mistake this time and buried the 150,000 troops in Wei State... the empress dowager’s body trembled and she immediately made up her mind.

No, it seems that Le Cheng is indeed going to withdraw.

The Empress Dowager said, "Since that's the case, then..." A young and slightly childish voice suddenly interrupted the Empress Dowager's words: "The withdrawal of troops is absolutely impossible!"

Everyone in the hall looked at him in surprise at the same time and locked on King Zhao.

The young King Zhao seemed to have a red face because of excitement, and repeated: "You can't withdraw your troops!"

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Wang'er, don't talk nonsense!"

King Zhao said: "Mother, my son did not talk nonsense.

Now the army has been launched, hundreds of thousands of civilians and countless supplies have already been on the way. Just because of these words, have they all withdrawn?

If this is the case, not only will the soldiers in the army have opinions, but the civilians mobilized will have opinions, but they will also consume national strength in vain and make other princes laugh! Therefore, I think it is absolutely impossible to withdraw troops."

Zhao Kuo looked at the young King Zhao's red face and was speechless.

How could such stupid words be said from your king's mouth?

Zhao Kuo had to patiently explain: "King, although withdrawing troops now will indeed consume some national strength, if the troops are not withdrawn, they will lose more things, Da Zhao will lose!"

Is it a small loss or a blood loss? I don’t understand such a simple calculation question?

King Zhao shook his head, and the young man looked at Zhao Kuo with a stubborn look on his face: "No, I will definitely not agree to withdraw the troops!"

...The hall fell silent for a moment.

Zhao Kuo had nothing to say.

As a minister, the title of the monarch and minister is here, so Zhao Kuo cannot continue to talk back, otherwise he would be ignorant of his position and might even be charged with a crime.

Zhao Kuo sighed and waited for the Queen Mother's decision.

The Empress Dowager looked left and right, and was also in trouble.

In theory, the Empress Dowager felt that Zhao Kuo's proposal to withdraw his troops was quite reliable.

But the little King Zhao jumped out and thrust it, and he was reluctant to withdraw his troops.

This is actually very embarrassing.

If you agree with Zhao Kuo, wouldn’t it be a slap in the face of Xiao Zhao in public?

Will this affect the future majesty of King Zhao in front of these important officials of Zhao State?

The king still needs to be majestic, otherwise how can he compete with these old foxes in the future?

When the queen mother thought of this, she hesitated again and finally made a decision.

"Although Wang'er is a little reckless, the old woman thinks that his words are not unreasonable.

If you withdraw your troops, there is no need to withdraw your troops for the time being, let’s take a look first.

If the State of Chu really defeats the alliance, let’s discuss this issue again!”
