Kingdom - Ch. 649 - What Terms

Fak this is so interesting

Doesn't this prove that Riboku is kinda not needed. Zhao could hold its own against Qin without him.
As for Wei thinking of accepting this idea. That's dumb. No matter how you look at it, this deal is not good for Wei
Qin basically made Wei, Chu's enemy, using Chu's own territory as bargaining chip

 

[Arcara]

Zhao has numbers and defensive advantages on their side, not counting shortened supply lines. Zhao also effectively only have one battle front instead of Qin. This is good, but it's probably not enough to win and reconquista without Riboku, as their strategy is dependent on Qin making mistakes, or occupied elsewhere.

Spoiler

Zhao did score some victories as we'll see soon, without and with Riboku in command, but of course it wasn't enough.

Thanks for the translation !

That would be impossible. As Karyo stated, the line with all the forces how they are is stagnated, then taking away forces to attack Wei would be enough for Zhao to break through defense and regain the lost territories. This would also mean losses on Qin side which would make them loose even more manpower they already struggle with.

@4rcane If this scheme by Shouheikun works then Riboku is needed, precisely so that Qin can't beat them through strategic schemes like this.

@OverReaper
I would rather say there is a stalemate, because Qin is trying to push through. If they went on a defensive instead I imagine they could afford to pull out some units.

Oh shit i caught up

 

[Grimmycoffee]

Huh, that's interesting. I doubt the deal would go smoothly, but still, a city like that is a pretty interesting offer.


@4rcane I think it was mention that the evil Prime Minister guy uses Riboku's strategy given so that the kingdom won't fall or something.

 

[viridescentlights]

The highlight to Shouheikun is especially interesting, given what will occur far down the line. Nonetheless, this is a good negotiating piece.
