Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Zhao Dan was silent for a moment, and said: "Now that Wei Wuji has lost power, half of her revenge can be regarded as avenged. Sooner or later, the widow will help her get the other half back. By the way, does this girl have brothers and sisters?"

Miao Xiandao: "There is a younger brother, who is twenty years old, and works in agriculture at home."

Zhao Dan let out a long breath and said, "Bring his younger brother to Handan and give him a suitable position. Don't let the hero be chilled in the ground."

Miao Xian bowed and said, "Here."

After Miao Xian left, Zhao Dan stood up from behind the table, stretched long, and walked out of the hall.

It was already late autumn, the earth was bleak, countless leaves fluttered to the ground, an autumn wind blew, and the fallen leaves were whirled up to the sky by the wind, and then fell down one after another.

Winter is coming soon.

Zhao Dan watched everything in front of him quietly, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional in his heart.

This is already the third year that I have traveled through.

During these three years, Zhao Dan and Zhao Guo have experienced many things together, and have grown together to the present.

"But, it's not enough." Zhao Dan let out a long breath, and said in his heart, "It's still far away from the goal of unifying the world."

Zhao Dan also knew in his heart that food needs to be eaten in bites, and things need to be done one by one. Haste makes waste.

That being the case, when next spring comes, it is time to continue to push this goal forward.

Chapter 493 Aligning to War (First Update)

The long winter finally passed, and the spring of 256 BC came.

Spring returns to the earth, and everything recovers.

In the main hall of Dragon Terrace in Miyagi, Handan, a meeting is in progress.

Zhao Dan sat firmly on the head, full of energy and vigor.

The seven important ministers of Zhao Guo sat on the left and right, all of them straightened up and looked respectful, just waiting for Zhao Dan to speak.

Zhao Dan looked around the crowd, and said, "Misters, now that spring is here, it's a good time to send troops. The widow has mentioned the conquest of Qi before. I don't know if you are all ready?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately replied: "My lord, all the affairs have already been arranged according to your orders, and they can start to operate as long as you give an order."

Zhao Dan turned his head to look at Lian Po, and asked, "Wu Xinjun, how is the situation in the army?"

Lian Po replied: "Your Majesty, the northern and southern armies have not relaxed in the past year, and their daily training is carried out according to your Majesty's wishes. There is no doubt about their combat effectiveness, and they can go to war at any time."

Zhao Dan nodded, looking quite satisfied: "Nowadays, the army is an extremely important part of the world's hegemony. Since Lord Wu Xin is the leader of the army, it is absolutely necessary to let Lord Wu Xin take part in the conquest of Qi. You need to be more careful."

Lian Po was overjoyed when he heard the words, and hurriedly saluted Zhao Dan again: "Here!"

Zhao Dan turned his attention to Pang Nuan again: "Pang Qing, how is the preparation of the staff department?"

Since the staff office was divided into two, the staff department belonging to the army has become an organization under Pang Nuan, responsible for formulating combat plans in advance and making suggestions when going out.

Not only that, but Zhao Dan directly ordered to abolish the power of the major generals to independently open the government when they set off, and instead mobilized staff from the staff to assist the generals.

Of course, if a general like Lian Po wants to arrange a few people on his own, no one will say anything.

In general, the General Staff has now slowly begun to become a very important institution in Zhao's military, and its influence is still growing.

This is a good thing.

Seeing Zhao Dan's question, Pang Nuan immediately replied very respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, now the General Staff Department has formulated several plans according to Your Majesty's request, including offensives against Gaotang, Linzi and other places, as well as possible attacks by the Qi army." Response and so on. The minister also appointed some highly resourceful staff, so that when a large army goes out, they can immediately assist Wu Xinjun in the battle."

Lian Po snorted softly, noncommittal.

Zhao Dan keenly sensed Lian Po's dissatisfaction, but he didn't say anything to smooth things over.

Decentralization of power is the most basic check and balance technique for kings. Lian Po, who has experienced Zhao She's incident, will not tear himself apart with Zhao Dan because of Pang Nuan's appearance. Not before coming down.

This is enough.

So Zhao Dan turned his head to Zheng Zhu, the big pedestrian on the other side: "Zheng Qing, how is the situation in Yan, South Korea, and Chu?"

Zheng Zhu bowed, and replied respectfully: "Go back to your majesty, the Yan State has already sent a reply, it only needs your majesty to send troops, then the Yan State will send [-] troops to help attack Qi. The answer from the South Korean side is also the same. Chu State No reply has been sent yet, and it seems that he is still hesitating."

"One hundred thousand?" Zhao Dan frowned, obviously dissatisfied with this number.

Although the other Zhao Guo ministers didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces were probably quite similar to Zhao Dan's.

To be honest, after this battle was fought, Zhao Guojun's vision is getting higher and higher now, and the number of [-] is basically not taken seriously.

Zheng Zhu replied: "Your Majesty Chang has something to say, the country of Yan is not settled yet, and there is Donghu in the north and Jizi North Korea in the east, so sending [-] troops is already the limit."

Zhao Dan sneered: "Excuse me! If it comes to the enemy, the Zhao Kingdom is surrounded by enemies in all directions, but when does the widow not send troops with all his strength?"

After making complaints about it, Zhao Dan did not get angry because of it. After all, in Zhao Dan's heart, Yan people belonged to someone who came to make soy sauce, as long as they could help Zhao attract the attention of some Qi people.

As for how much territory can be captured, everyone has already agreed in advance that each depends on his own ability. Since your country of Yan is only willing to send [-] troops, it is your own problem if you can't get much land by then.

Then Zhao Dan turned his attention to Yu Xin again: "Qing Yu, the army is about to move out now, I would like to ask if all the food and supplies have been prepared?"

Yu Xin hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, all the materials have been prepared according to His Majesty's requirements. Now the materials in Handan warehouse are enough to supply 20 troops for a year's battle. If Your Majesty has other needs, you can also get them from Ling Shoucang collects grain."

Since the two areas of Hedong and Hetao fell into the hands of Zhao State, the problem of food shortage in Zhao State has been greatly alleviated.

Judging from the data reported after the autumn harvest last year, Hedong County has now recovered to [-]% of the level of the Qin Dynasty, and Hetao and Shuofang counties have basically achieved self-sufficiency since last year.

It is conceivable that in a few more years, when Hedong County has completely returned to its peak output and Hetao County has been fully developed, the annual grain output of Zhao State is likely to surpass that of other countries and jump to the rank of Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period. the first.

In this year, food is the most important armament material.

Zhao Dan asked a few more questions, and the ministers of Zhao Guo also answered them one by one. It is obvious that they have already prepared their belly drafts and come up with countermeasures.

This made Zhao Dan very satisfied. As a time traveler and the current monarch of Zhao State, Zhao Dan had seen Qin State's machine-like rigorous war system in many modern unearthed offerings, and after crossing I have confirmed this with my own eyes.

And now, Zhao Guo under Zhao Dan's rule has somewhat of this feeling.

So in a good mood, Zhao Dan didn't hesitate anymore, and said directly: "In this case, then pass on the order of the widow, and after the end of the spring plowing next month, we will start recruiting county soldiers and civilian husbands, young and strong, and start hunting!"

Zhao Dan turned his gaze to Lian Po, and said: "This time, Lord Wu Xin will be the general to attack Qi, and Zhonglang General Le Cheng of the Southern Army will be the deputy general, and an army of 20 will be sent to attack Qi!"

"In addition, General Ju Xin, Zhonglang of the Northern Army, will be stationed in Hedong County from now on. Governor Hedong and Xiaohan Passage will respond to the war, and guard against changes in Qin State!"

"Promote Li Mu to be the general of the Frontier Cavalry Corps, and temporarily control the military forces of the two counties of Hetao and the five counties in the north, in case the Yuezhi and the Huns take the opportunity to make trouble!"

Zhao Dan issued a bunch of orders in one breath, and then turned his attention to the ministers present: "Do you have any opinions? If not, then handle it accordingly."

Seven important ministers of Zhao State stood up together, bowed towards Zhao Dan and said, "Here!"
