After hearing Zhong Yu's words, King Wei was silent for a while, thinking in his heart whether this request was in line with the interests of Wei State.
"That's right. It's common sense. If there is only land but no people, then no matter how much land you have, it will be of no use! So what do you mean by ruling the country?" King Wei nodded and agreed with Zhong Yu. statement.
"Wei has captured Qin's territory, and I want half of its population!" A sonorous and powerful voice expressed Zhong Yu's request.
"What? Half of the population? You think too well!" King Wei exclaimed, unable to control his anger.
"So what? My country sent 300,000 troops to lead the princes to attack the Qin army. If they are all used to seize territory, then they will definitely be able to capture a large territory. How many people are there? The King of Wei must know it in his heart. Come on!" Zhong Yu replied angrily.
"That's too much. Half of the population is not hundreds of thousands, but two to three million people!" King Wei was silent for a moment, but he was still a little unwilling.
"Although I took away two to three million people, I still left half of the people in the original place, and left behind a vast land. With these lands, with the wealth of the Central Plains, how many years will it take? Can repopulate the same population or even more!" Zhong Yu also shook his head and refused to make concessions.
"I want to think about this!" King Wei hesitated for a while, finding it difficult to make up his mind.
"King Wei, what is lacking in all the countries in the world, especially the Three Jins, is not population, but sufficient strategic depth. Under Qin's successive attacks, your three countries have lost most of their territory. Being called a powerful country has long been unworthy of the name. In fact, now you can not only get half of the population, but also all the captured territory, what else can you be dissatisfied with?" Regarding King Wei's insatiable greed, Zhong Yu urged him directly.
"However, without so many people, the territory we conquered is also vast and sparsely populated. Moreover, the hasty migration of so many people will make those people who regain the lost land have doubts in their hearts!" Although he was a little shaken in his heart, Wei Wang was still hesitant and couldn't make up his mind.
"If you can't agree to these conditions, then withdraw your troops immediately and see if you, the other countries, can defeat the Qin State! When the time comes, when the Qin army comes to the city, don't think about my country again!" sneered. Zhong Yu said coldly.
Hearing this, King Wei was shocked and his mind immediately sobered up.
Yes, among all the countries in the world, the one who doesn’t have to worry about Qin’s pressure the least is the Yu Kingdom in front of them. They are located in the northern border and have the advantage of grassland. It is far more difficult for Qin to attack them than to attack the six countries. .
Now they are willing to send troops to help the six countries to attack Qin. In addition to them, they also have some ambitions for the world, and I am afraid it is more for these people!
It doesn't matter if they lose the Six Kingdoms, but if the Six Kingdoms lose the Yu Kingdom, it will be a big disaster!
With the current turmoil among the Six Kingdoms, without a middleman standing in the way to ease the situation, it would be absolutely difficult for them to work together to fight against Qin again.
If they cannot work together, they will definitely be defeated by Qin State one by one. With this incident as a reminder, I am afraid that Qin State’s pace of unifying the world will speed up quickly!
The Wei State is probably not far from destruction by then!
"Well, King Jing is joking. This is the condition that Wei Kingdom agrees to your country. Isn't it just half of the population? In terms of the merits of the imperial kingdom, it is completely worthy of it!" King Wei had a flattering look on his face and couldn't stop talking.
"As long as the King of Wei understands the truth, my country is not a greedy person. In this battle against Qin, all the territory of the Qin State was taken away. My country does not need any money, but only half of the people in this territory!" "Hearing King Wei's words of surrender, he finally backed down. Zhong Yu nodded with satisfaction, but did not push too hard.
"No, this is what Yuguo deserves!" King Wei nodded quickly.
"Okay, now that this has been said, let's discuss the business! The defenders of Dongjun have been defeated by me. At this moment, everyone in Dongjun is panic-stricken. This is the time to take advantage of the opportunity." Since it is about the division of interests. Having said that, the next step is to deal with the Qin army, which is also an urgent matter now.
"What does King Jing mean?" King Wei felt happy when he heard this. He had just been beaten, so he didn't dare to make it too obvious, so he could only test it.
"I just want you to send troops from Wei to take over Dongjun!" Zhong Yu didn't care about King Wei's little tricks. As long as Wei still stood in the united front against Qin and sent troops, everything could be discussed. .
"But, I won Dongjun in the past, and Russia cannot go to the front line to attack Qin. Will it arouse the opinions of other countries?" Although he was very excited about this proposal, King Wei still had some hesitation.
"These have nothing to do with it. I will discuss it with other countries. I think they can understand it for the sake of the overall situation!" He glanced at King Wei. Zhong Yu liked this greedy and timid person the most!
"What about after taking Dongjun? There is also Taojun next to Dongjun, and the defense is just as empty!" With the support of the people in front of him, King Wei became more confident, so he did not refuse, but became even more greedy!
"If King Wei has the ability, you can go ahead and get it, and I will not stop you!" Zhong Yu shook his head in his heart. Zhong Yu was actually encouraging King Wei's little thoughts.
The stronger the six eastern countries are, the more advantageous they will be in attacking Qin.
The stronger the power of the Wei State, the greater the desire of King Wei, a greedy person. And when the coalition forces defeated the Qin State, forced the Qin State into Hangu Pass again, and completely drove out of the Central Plains, it was almost time for the coalition forces to disband.
After the dissolution, the six kingdoms of Kanto will be well fed, especially the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao and Wei. Their lost territories will inevitably be recovered, or even slightly increased.
When their strength increases, they will definitely be dazzled by victory and do some irrational things.
Among them, King Wei is a good target.
Now we can cultivate the power of Wei State and let him annex some counties and become a leader.
At that time, let it become the country with the greatest profit among the six countries, and let its strength once again return to the kind of strength that was arrogant among the heroes in the early Warring States Period.
What will King Wei do when the time comes, when he thinks he has restored the glory of his ancestors
I'm afraid he will attack other countries? Qi, South Korea, or Zhao and Chu, there will always be one who he treats as a soft persimmon.
And the Central Plains will once again be in turmoil!
