Chapter 312 South Korea’s Choice
"Why is the Prime Minister so sure about this matter?"
Regarding the judgment of Prime Minister Han Yue, Han Hou Han Wu had a lot of confusion in his heart.
He, Han Wu, and most people in the world believed that the Qi State at this time was experiencing domestic turmoil and had no time to worry about foreign enemies.
If Wei State ascends to the throne and makes a call to attract the response of the princes from all directions, it will definitely be able to take advantage of this opportunity to seize a large area of territory from Qi State.
Even if the Marquis of Wei is more decisive and sends all the troops from the whole country to attack Qi, he may not be able to take this opportunity to severely damage Qi again.
Although there is such a bright prospect, Prime Minister Han Yue believes that the Wei State is not trying to conquer Qi for profit. How could this not surprise Han Hou Han Wu?
His eyes were fixed on Han Wu in front of him, with a hint of confusion in his eyes, and a confident smile appeared at the corner of Han Yue's mouth.
After a few breaths, Han Yue said quietly with some nostalgia: "I would like to report to you, I was defeated by the Prime Minister of Wei when I was young. I admire him from the bottom of my heart for his talent."
"I also followed the late emperor to participate in the princes' alliance, and I was fortunate enough to meet the current Wei Hou several times. I also sincerely admire the talents and strategies of this Wei Hou."
The words were full of praise for Wei Hou Wei Feng and Wei Xianggong Sun Qi. Han Yue looked directly at Han Wu with firm eyes.
"If others would attack Qi at this moment because of their own interests, I will definitely not have any doubts in my heart;"
"But it is said that the Marquis of Wei and the Prime Minister of Wei who are extremely intelligent would do this, but I thought it was absolutely impossible."
Han Yue's firm judgment made Han Hou Han Wu on the opposite side dispel some of his doubts.
Immediately afterwards, another question rang out between the two people, "Since it is not to send troops to attack Qi, then what do you think the prime minister intends to do by raising troops and mobilizing such a large number of people?"
"The Wei State is just like our country, South Korea. It is located in the heart of the Central Plains. It has only a few targets that it can act on."
"Zhao in the north, Chu in the south, Qi in the east, and Qin in the west."
After listing Wei's possible targets one by one, Han Yue analyzed these possibilities one by one in front of Han Wu.
The first thing to exclude is Zhao Guo.
Judging from the news coming back from Handan, although Wei Xianggong Sun Qi's trip was not pleasant, he basically achieved his goal.
Moreover, Wei and Zhao have been allies of each other for more than ten years, and there has never been news of the breakdown of the alliance between the two countries. There should be no possibility of war between Wei and Zhao at the moment.
The next thing to exclude is the state of Chu.
Everyone in the world knows that Chu is the most powerful opponent that Wei has to face. Everyone in the world also knows that there must be a battle between Wei and Chu, but no one dares to talk about war easily between Wei and Chu.
Once a war breaks out between the two largest countries in the world, Wei and Chu, it will inevitably be a massive and long war.
No matter which side is the loser in such a large-scale war, the other side will not feel better. The most likely result is that both sides will suffer losses and become a wedding dress for others.
Therefore, when there is no absolute certainty that they can inflict heavy losses on each other, Wei and Chu will engage in various contests openly and secretly, but they will never go to war easily.
The third one to exclude is Qi State.
Don't look at the death of the previous king of Qi State, the succession of the new king, and the turmoil in the country. It seems to be the perfect opportunity for Wei State to take action.
But now Qi is like a piece of plump barbecue, and its alluring aroma has attracted the surrounding countries to make moves.
Wei's current strength is indeed the best in the world, but once it falls into it, it will most likely be difficult to get out.
It is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. The Wei army is indeed powerful, but it cannot fight the world alone, not to mention that there is Chu in the south who is always watching.
The three directions of north, south, and east have been ruled out. Isn't it possible that the country that the Wei State wants to target by launching its troops in this way is ready to emerge?
"Qin?" After listening to Han Yue's analysis, Han Wu's eyes became more suspicious.
"It is the State of Qin."
After nodding heavily, Han Yue stood up from her seat and walked slowly to a map hanging on the wall beside them.
"Your Majesty, please see that the Wei State and our country, South Korea, are both in an unfavorable situation in a place of four wars."
"Since the current Marquis of Wei succeeded to the throne, the State of Wei seems to have vigorously expanded its territory, but in fact it is only doing two things."
"First, through war and relocation, we opened up the connection between the Wei State's Hedong and Hanoi lands."
"Second, launch a large army to attack Qin and seize half of Qin's Guanzhong, easing the situation in Wei's four war areas."
Following the direction in which Han Yue's finger moved, looking at the land of Wei that was now connected, and looking at the territory of Wei that now surrounded Qin on three sides, Han Wu seemed to understand something.
"With Hexi as the armor, Jingshui as the shield, and Yiqu as the sword, Wei is preparing to attack Qin in one fell swoop!"
"Marquis Wei is so courageous!"
After praising him, Han Wu's eyes moved to the east, looking at Wei Guo's plan to conquer Qi with great fanfare.
It seems that the Wei State has mobilized so many troops, but if you look carefully, you will find that the two countries do not have much land bordering each other.
Once a war breaks out between the two sides, Zhao, Lu, Song, and even Wei will be pushed to the front line against Qi, while Wei can withdraw.
Even if the attack on Qin goes smoothly, Wei will have enough time to retreat eastward and join forces with the princes to attack Qi again.
"Wei has a good strategy!"
After another compliment, Han Wu's eyes moved slightly, and his thoughts couldn't help but come alive.
"Prime Minister, if Wei invades Qin, how should South Korea deal with itself?"
"Your Majesty, the current situation is that Wei is strong and Han is weak. It would be unwise for South Korea to turn against Wei."
After first analyzing the strength between South Korea and Wei, Han Yue changed the subject and said: "It's just that South Korea cannot fully support Wei's expansion."
"The current plan is to send tens of thousands of soldiers to help Wei in his campaign to show our intention to have good relations with Wei."
After listening to Han Yue's advice, Han Wu, who aspired to expand South Korea, instinctively felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
With his brows furrowed, thoughts were racing through his mind. After a moment, he found with some helplessness that this was indeed the best choice for South Korea at the moment.
Compared with Wei State, South Korea is also in a place of four wars.
There is Qin in the west, Chu in the south, and Wei and Zhao in the east and north.
What's even more sad is that with South Korea's current national strength, it has no confidence in winning against any of the above countries.
If there is a conflict with Wei, the external environment facing South Korea will become extremely bad in an instant.
Not only that, without the protection of Wei as an ally, the Chu State in the south will definitely take action.
In desperation, all South Korea can do is follow closely behind the powerful Wei State to buy more time for development.
