Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Due to Zhao Kuo's failure, Le Cheng did not plan to move on.

After all, the Qin army in Anyi's camp is several times larger than Le Cheng's, and Le Cheng doesn't know whether the Qin Congress will send reinforcements from Guanzhong again, and if they go deep alone without eyeliner and intelligence, that's a great military strategist. Bogey.

Therefore, after some weighing, Le Cheng simply set up camp outside Quwo City, waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Three-Jin Alliance Army behind him.

Chapter 2 Ninety This time, the widow intends to come with Qin Wangji to use history as a mirror (second update)

On January 258, 1 BC, Longtai, Miyagi, Handan.

On this day, several important ministers of Zhao State gathered together and held a military meeting.

Sitting on the upper throne, Zhao Dan said to Miao Xian who was accompanying him, "Miao Qing, if you have money, please come and introduce the current situation."

Liao Xian nodded, and then said: "As far as Hedong County is concerned, the main force of the Three-Jin Allied Forces led by General Lian Po has all entered Hedong County, and the vanguard has arrived at Quwo City. Surrounded. According to intelligence, there are only [-] Qin soldiers guarding Quwo City, and the capture of Quwo City should be a matter of days."

As soon as Miao Xian said these words, the several Zhao Guozhong ministers present looked at me and I looked at you, and they all felt a little baffled.

Zhao Sheng couldn't help but said: "This seems to be inconsistent with the original plan."

Those present were all the core executives of Zhao Guo, so they were well aware of Zhao Kuo and Le Cheng's plan of internal cooperation and external cooperation.

How did it turn into an attack on Quwo if he controlled the Anyi camp well?This script is wrong.

Miao Xian explained: "Because of the intervention of Hou's subordinates, Zhao Kuo's operation to control the Anyi camp has failed, and now the Anyi camp has fallen into the control of the people of Qin again."

"Hai?" Zhao Sheng's face changed, he hesitated to speak, apparently quite afraid of this name.

After Zhao Sheng, it was Neishi Yuxin who spoke: "Since Zhao Kuo has failed, the previous plan must be changed. I wonder if General Lian Po has any plans to pass it back?"

Liao Xian replied: "According to what General Lian Po said in his letter, the general plans to attack Quwo first and then go west to capture Anyi, completely driving the Qin people out of Hedong County."

Lian Po's plan is actually very simple to say, that is to push all the way, and use the most upright and upright posture to beat out all the people of Qin.

A plan that is in line with Lian Po's long-standing habit of using troops.

The Zhao Guo ministers present were basically Lian Po's old colleagues, so after hearing Lian Po's plan, no one expressed any objection.

On the contrary, Si Kou Zhao Bao said worriedly: "If we attack the Qin army head-on, I'm afraid our soldiers will suffer heavy casualties."

The population shortage of Zhao State has always been a big problem. Qin State was not the only one that was damaged in the first battle of Changping. Zhao State also lost a lot of young and strong people, and at the same time, there were quite a few elites who had been battle-hardened. veteran.

If Zhao Guo hadn't obtained a certain population supplement from Shangdang County after the victory, Zhao Guo's battle of Changping would have actually hurt the enemy by one thousand and self-damaged eight hundred.

The number of soldiers itself is a kind of war potential. Of course, the high-level people of Zhao State also attach great importance to this point.

Zhao Dan smiled and said: "Mr. Pingyang, don't worry too much. From my point of view, General Lian Po will not disappoint you in the battle of Hedong County. As long as Hedong County is won, the demand for the number of troops will be enough for the time being." It's not that big anymore."

From Zhao Dan’s point of view, after swallowing Shangdang County and Hedong County consecutively in a short period of time, Zhao State will temporarily stop its external expansion and digest the land of these two counties. This period of digestion is enough for the new generation of Zhao State The source of troops has grown.

Zhao Bao shook his head and said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, but what I worry about is not the case. Your Majesty has already promised to the soldiers that if they capture Hedong County, they will use the land of Hedong County as a reward. If so , so where should those Qin people in Hedong County go?"

Zhao Bao obviously misunderstood what Zhao Dan meant, thinking that Zhao Dan wanted to recruit troops from the aborigines of Qin State in Hedong County.

"Qin people?" Zhao Dan smiled slightly, looking confident and said to Zhao Bao: "Mr. Pingyang doesn't know something, but I want to do what King Ji of Qin did in Hedong County."

"The matter of Qin Wangji?" Zhao Guo's ministers present were stunned for a moment, and then quickly came back to their senses.

It is recorded in the Historical Records of Qin Benji: "Wei Xian Anyi, Qin came out of his people, recruited and moved to Hedong, gave him a title, and pardoned sinners and moved there."

At that time, Wei State could not resist Qin State's continuous attacks, so it was forced to dedicate Anyi and the nearby hundreds of miles east of the river to Qin State.

After obtaining this piece of land, Qin Wangji drove away all the people of Wei State in this land, preventing them from living in Hedong County, and then sent a large number of Qin State soldiers from Qin State's Guanzhong mainland for their meritorious service. The acquired land was sealed in Hedong County, making these meritorious soldiers of the Qin State the landlords of Hedong County.

In addition, Qin Wangji also migrated a large number of criminals from Qin to enrich the population of Hedong County.

After Qin Wangji's deeds and Qin Guozhi's painstaking management of Hedong County for decades, today's Hedong County can be said to have become a veritable land of Qin State, not like the southeast two counties. Generally speaking, Chu people are still the main ones.

This is why after the Chu army entered the southeast two counties, the aborigines of Chu State rebelled and supported the Chu army, but now the Three-Jin coalition army entered Hedong County, but no aborigines of Hedong County raised troops to support the coalition army.

I have to say that Qin Wangji's policy seems to be quite successful.

Since this has been proven to be a successful policy, Zhao Dan certainly doesn't mind "taking history as a mirror" once.

After Zhao State captured Hedong County, Zhao Dan will also remove all the residents of Qin State in Hedong County from their original land, and then reward all these lands to the soldiers of Zhao State who have gained credit in this battle. They, and then move the sinners of Zhao State here to enrich the population.

In this way, as long as Zhao State can manage Hedong County for three to 40 years like Qin State, Hedong County will change from the territory of the old Qin people to the base of Yanzhao men, and thus completely assimilate and become a part of Zhao State .

After hearing Zhao Dan's words, all the ministers of Zhao State who were present couldn't help admiring Zhao Dan even more in their hearts.

Sure enough, the king is indeed a king, and before everyone thought of it, he had already planned everything!

Needless to say, what happened next was naturally some flattery and flattery that made Zhao Dan extremely happy.

But after the flattery was over, some people still quickly raised their own doubts.

Zhao Bao said, "If Your Majesty drives all the Qin people in Hedong County back to Qin, then the replenishment of soldiers may be a very serious problem."

Obviously, Zhao Bao still did not give up his plan to use the Qin people from Hedong County to supplement the source of troops.

Zhao Dan smiled mysteriously: "Although the widow said that the Qin people in Hedong County would be moved away, they never said that they would be moved back to Qin."

Zhao Bao seemed a little confused: "So what does the king mean?"

Not only Zhao Bao, but several other ministers of Zhao Guo also seemed quite puzzled.

Zhao Dan said unhurriedly: "This time, although I do intend to imitate what Qin Wangji did back then, but I don't completely copy what Qin Wangji did."

After all, taking history as a mirror returns taking history as a mirror, but it is impossible to apply it mechanically, and it is true to use it flexibly according to the actual situation.

There is a saying in later generations that sums it up well, that is, "Take the XXXX road with Chinese characteristics."

This sentence is actually very reasonable.

Zhao Dan is now going to take "the road of integration of Hedong County with Zhao's characteristics".

In Zhao Dan's view, Qin Wangji's behavior at that time actually had a limitation of the times.

From Qin Wangji's point of view, those Wei people in Hedong County of Wei State at that time were not only loyal to Wei State, but also wasted food for raising them, and wasted land for keeping them. Adding a large amount of burden can be said to be a good policy that kills several birds with one stone.

But from Zhao Dan's point of view, if Hedong County is occupied, the population of Qin State living there will indeed move out, but they will not all be driven back to Qin State. Only those old people who are completely worthless will return to Qin State.

why?Because Zhao Guo's blast furnace project has been quietly started under Zhao Dan's instruction.

The launch of the blast furnace project symbolizes the beginning of Zhao Guopan's technological journey.

As long as Zhao Guo's technology is improved, the emergence of intensive industries is inevitable, and the demand for a large number of off-duty labor will follow.

Workers in intensive industries are actually squeezed, especially when this industry has just emerged.
