Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

From a military point of view, with the arrival of this batch of grain and grass, Zhao Guo can rest assured that Lian Po will lead his army to guard the front line of Changping, and there is no need to take the risk of replacing Zhao Kuo with the initiative to attack.

In view of the fact that Changping's battlefield terrain is more favorable to the defending Zhao army, this result is obviously what Zhao Dan hopes to see.

From a diplomatic point of view, Zhao Guo can also use the extra half a year to display his diplomatic actions, win more allies, and get rid of the current unfavorable situation of single-handedly challenging Qin.

After all, with such a good example from Qi State, it is not surprising that other countries have changed their attitudes. Isn’t that how it was in the Warring States Period? of?

From the perspective of the country's internal affairs, the arrival of this batch of grain and grass can stabilize the grain price to a certain extent, so that the increase in Zhao's domestic grain price will not be too outrageous, thus ensuring the stability of Zhao's country.

That's why Zhao Dan wanted to lead a hundred officials out of the city with such great fanfare to meet the first batch of Qi State grain transportation convoys.

I just want everyone in the world to know that Zhao Guo has something to eat!

Come, come, Zhao Ji old son Qin Wangji, listen to me, I, Zhao Dan, just want Zhao Guo's 45 sons to squat in Changping without moving their nests, farming, or going home. I have enough food!Dissatisfied?If you don't accept it, let your whiteness hit me!

Before he knew it, the smile on the corner of Zhao Dan's mouth became more intense.

As the saying goes, it is better to be alone than to be happy together, so Zhao Dan decided to find someone to chat with.

Among the important ministers of Zhao State, Xiangbang Zhao Sheng has been sent to Wei State, and Shangqing Yuxin has also gone to Chu State. Lin Xiangru's condition has worsened recently and Zhao Dan specially approved him to recuperate at home, so he is now eligible to be in Zhao Dan's carriage On the left and right became the Pingyang Lord Zhao Bao and the eunuch Ling Miaoxian.

Zhao Dan first chatted casually with Uncle Zhao Bao, then turned his head and smiled at Miao Xian who was on the other side: "Miao Qing, how are you doing what the widow has ordered you a few days ago?"

The gray-haired Miao Xian didn't seem to be sluggish due to aging, but he was full of energy. Hearing this, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the old minister is preparing for that."

After a pause, Miao Xian smiled again: "As for today's matter, the old minister has already made arrangements."

Zhao Dan nodded, and said the same: "Since this is the case, the widow can rest assured."

This conversation, which sounds like charades to others, is actually quite simple. It is nothing more than Zhao Dan asking Miao Xian about the surveillance guard and Hu Yiwei that Zhao Dan mentioned a few days ago.

Judging from Miao Xian's answer, it is obvious that these two secret organizations are already in full swing.

In fact, according to Zhao Dan, today is the first time these two organizations come in handy.

Outside the east gate today, it's not just Zhao Dan and his military officials.It is human nature to like to watch the excitement, and the people in Handan City are no exception. Such a large guard of honor was set up near the East Gate, and it has long attracted tens of thousands of Handan people to watch. The road outside the gate was even more crowded with people.

A moment later, smoke and dust billowed on the road east of Handan City, and a long carriage, escorted by thousands of Qi soldiers, began to approach the crowd at the east gate of Handan City.

"Here we come, we come!" With the appearance of the carriage, the entire East Gate of Handan became lively.

Somewhere in the crowd, the following conversation began.

Passerby A: "Hey, there are so many people here, why?"

Passerby B: "I heard that our king sent envoys to Qi to buy grain, and today the people of Qi brought the grain here!"

Passerby A: "Huh? Didn't we have the autumn harvest soon, so why don't we buy some food?"

Passer-by B: "That's why you don't understand, don't you look at the streets of Handan now, there are still a few strong men from Zhao Guo, they have all gone to Changping to fight, what a harvest without men. I heard that Changping will have to fight until next year at least, the king bought food from Qi State, that is for us people not to go hungry!"

Passerby A: "It seems reasonable to hear what you said, but you say that the food is so expensive now, it is almost double the price before, and it is said that it will continue to rise. How can we ordinary people have money? Affordable."

Passer-by B: "Hey, you don't know? Let me tell you, the ninth son born to the eighth aunt of my seventh aunt's family is serving the master of the county governor of Handan Prefecture. Order, all the food will be sold in seven days, and the price will only be [-]% higher than the previous price!"

"What?" Many passers-by from the Zhao country around were completely uneasy, and asked passer-by B who had just sent out the breaking news: "Is your news true?" "The grain merchants in Handan City sell grain at least It’s [-]% higher than before, how could the government only sell it for [-]%!”

The passer-by B snorted heavily, and said: "Your Majesty the Sheriff can tell you, this is called Pingqi! That's something that only educated officials and kings can worry about. You people who don't know a single word know how much you know." What’s more, the price of the government’s grain sales will be known in a few days!”

The expressions on everyone's faces were dubious, and it took a few seconds before they said: "If the government only sells it at a price that is [-]% higher, then our king is really a good king!"

Passer-by B sneered again when he heard the words: "Is our king not a good king? Let me tell you a piece of news. The people of Qi State originally refused to sell us grain, but our king wanted to let the big guy eat in winter. If you don’t feel hungry at the time, then you took all He Shibi and gave it to the King of Qi, and the State of Qi sold the food to us!”

"He's Bi!?" The audience in Zhao State was in an uproar: "Is that the He's Bi that Qin Wangji wanted to exchange for fifteen cities?"

"Of course there are fakes?" Passer-by B raised his head high: "Think about it, this Heshibi is worth fifteen cities, how many people and land would it take? Which country do you want to buy?" Your Majesty is not moved? But our Majesty of Zhao State gave away Heshibi for the sake of our people, so that we people will not be exploited by those big grain merchants! Tell me, is our Majesty a good king after all? ?”

The surrounding Zhao people were convinced now, and they all nodded in praise: "We really don't know if you don't tell me, our king is so kind to our Zhao people!" "Our king of Zhao is strong and invincible! "It is really a blessing for our country Zhao to have such a great king!"

For a while, the surrounding area was full of praises for Zhao Dan.

Of course, it is not that no one has doubts about the words of passer-by B: "You kid, don't talk nonsense, you can know such important national affairs? I think you are just talking nonsense."

"What?" Passerby B jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said angrily, "What do you know, we have information channels! We have a lot of rumors, so I'm afraid we dare to say , you guys dare not listen!"

"Yo yo yo, are you still pretending to be with this? Come on, come on, tell the big guys, who dare not listen to who is the grandson!"

"Hey!" Passer-by B sneered, cleared his throat, and then put on a pose first, and then said unhurriedly: "This is the eighth dog meat from our seventh aunt's house that we used half a catty of dog meat yesterday. The nine sons born to my aunt came out of the mouth, you should listen carefully, don't be scared for a while."

This attitude immediately made the hearts of the Zhao people who were on the sidelines itch, and someone urged: "Don't pretend to be like that, hurry up."

Passer-by B laughed, suddenly lowered his voice, and whispered to the people around him mysteriously: "We heard that Bai Qi, Lord Wu An of the Qin Kingdom, had quietly arrived in Changping a while ago! "

"Wu An Jun Bai Qi?"

This name seems to have some kind of magical power, making everyone who heard this sentence quiet down instantly.

After a while, a voice suddenly sounded: "Who is Bai Qi?"

Everyone turned their heads when they heard the sound, ready to scold this ignorant guy severely.

No one knows about Bai Qi?That was the world-famous God of War of the Qin Kingdom. It is said that the soldiers of the six Eastern countries who died under his hands totaled hundreds of thousands!

There were even several Zhao people present. Their fathers, uncles, husbands, brothers and other relatives were among the 13 Zhao troops who were drowned by the Qin army after surrendering in the Battle of Huayang [-] years ago!

Although the State of Zhao also won victories against Qin in the Battle of Yanyu and the Battle of Jiyi, the people of Zhao State were not as afraid of Qin State as the other five countries.But even so, the name of the god of killing in vain is also powerful in the world.

It is no exaggeration to say that in this world you may not know the name of the monarch of Qin, but it is absolutely impossible not to know the name of Lord Wu An Bai Qi!

This kind of person who doesn't even know his name, let's not follow the procedure, just start spraying!

Just when everyone moved their eyes to the person who spoke excitedly and started to spray people, they saw a little loli in her mother's arms, blinking innocently at the big guy, cute little girl His face was full of doubts.

Everyone silently withdrew their gazes, as well as the spitting words that just came to their lips.

The scene was very embarrassing.

At this time, a person suddenly said: "You just said that Lord Wu An went to Changping?"

Chang Ping, this word immediately pulled everyone's mind back.

Nowadays, who in the world doesn't know that Qin and Zhao are confronting each other in Changping?As the party involved, the people of Zhao State are extremely concerned about the war in Changping.

A total of 45 young and strong people from the state of Zhao are fighting with the people of the state of Qin over there. That is more than half of the young and strong labor force in the state of Zhao. There are even two or three young adults in the family over there, do you think you don't care about it?

Passer-by B snorted and raised his head higher than a crowing rooster: "As we said just now, this news was bought with half a catty of dog meat, so can it be fake? Let me tell you, originally The commander of the Qin army, Wang Yan, was beaten to the bum by our General Lian Po, and the Qin people couldn't stand it anymore, so they sent Lord Wu An!"
