Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Zhao Dan glanced at Li Mu and said, "Does Li Qing have any ideas?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I feel that it is actually possible to build a city similar to Dingxi and Zhenbei to the west of the Yellow River. It is used as a logistics base when the army conquers the grassland."

Zhao Dan obviously didn't expect Li Mu to put forward such an opinion, and he hesitated for a while.

"Built the city?"

Thinking about it, this also seems like a pretty good idea.

After all, the strongest point of farming civilization is the city. If cities can be spread all over the grassland, then the grassland has long been taken by the people of the Central Plains.

But not without problems.

"It is impossible for the Wusun people and the Huns to sit back and watch this city be built. If Wusun and the Huns conquer it when you lead an army south to the Central Plains in the future, wouldn't the city be built in vain?"

Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I can assure you that once this city is built, the Wusun people and the Huns will never be able to conquer it in the future!"

Zhao Dan glanced at Li Mu, although he didn't know why his general was so persistent, but after thinking about it, he decided to agree.

"As long as you can ensure that the construction of this city will not affect the future use of troops against the Central Plains, especially against Qin, then I approve it!"

Li Mu was overjoyed, and immediately bowed deeply to Zhao Dan: "Thank you, my lord!"

Looking at Li Mu's happy expression, Zhao Dan always felt that his general was hiding something from him, but from all the signs, Li Mu's loyalty was obviously beyond doubt, so Zhao Dan thought about it for a while, and Let him go.

Let Li Mu toss it hard, anyway, there is a ban on mobilizing 3000 people, no matter what the result of his toss, in short, Zhao Guo will not have much loss.

If something big happens to him, then Zhao Guo will make a lot of money.

So Zhao Dan specially patted Li Mu on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Work hard, I will take care of you!"

Chapter 674 Qi Wangjian's Annoyance (Second Change)

Linzi.

It is well known that Qi Wangjian is in a bad mood recently.

Of course, there is a reason for his bad temper.

For example, at this time, Qi Wangjian lost his temper with Hou Sheng in front of him.

"The widow is determined not to retreat, the widow must destroy this damn Yan country before giving up!"

Yes, the key to why Qi Wangjian was so annoyed was of course the Qi-Yan war that had been fought for almost a year but still did not stop.

Due to the supply difficulties brought by the winter to the Qi army, the Qi army basically stopped the siege of Jidu as early as the arrival of winter.

For Qi Wangjian, it was undoubtedly not a satisfactory result for him to fail to win Jidu after spending a whole winter.

However, in the country of Qi, doubts about this war have gradually grown.

After all, many ministers of Qi State did not think that Yan State could be destroyed, so when spring came, the demand for peace talks with Yan State gradually evolved from a minority faction to a force that King Qi could no longer ignore.

This made Qi Wangjian very annoyed.

"It's these guys. Last winter when the widow asked them if they wanted to fight, they insisted that they wanted to destroy the country of Yan! But now? Now that spring has just arrived, they have completely forgotten what they said to the widow last year. And want to negotiate peace with Yan State? It's ridiculous, extremely ridiculous!"

Qi Wangjian's roar resounded throughout the palace.

Facing Qi Wangjian's anger, Qi Guo Xiangbang Housheng who was present could only respond with a wry smile.

Hou Sheng actually understood why there was such a change.

According to some rumors obtained by Hou Sheng, those ministers of the Qi State who have changed their positions seem to have welcomed some "mysterious visitors" from the north in the past winter.

Of course, this kind of thing is also heard after the victory, and there is no evidence.

After all, such a "mysterious visitor" also appeared in Hou Sheng's home.

However, as Xiangbang, it is obviously inappropriate for Hou Sheng not to say a few words at this time, so Hou Sheng coughed and said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, it is indeed difficult for Yan Kingdom to completely perish now, why not?"

Before Hou Sheng finished speaking, Qi Wangjian's eyes turned around and stared fiercely at Hou Sheng: "Why, Hou Qing, do you want to agree with those damn peace talks?"

Hou Sheng was frightened by Qi Wangjian's stare, and after a long time, he said again: "My lord, please learn from me, the resistance of the Yan people is so tenacious now, it is impossible to destroy the Yan country. , it is better to stop here, otherwise, if other countries come to attack, what should we do?"

These words made Qi Wangjian's body tremble suddenly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face: "You said Zhao Guoguo came to attack the widow?"

You must know that Wei and Chu are still at war, Qi Wangjian is actually not worried at all.

But if Zhao Guo sent troops to attack Qi State, then the fun would be great.

You must know that the current state of Qi has been fighting in the territory of Yan for such a long time, but the people of Zhao have had a complete rest in the past winter.

In addition, the strength of Zhao State's army is stronger than that of Qi State. If Zhao State suddenly stabs Qi State in the back at this time, then Qi State's failure is basically predictable.

The more Qi Wangjian thought about it, the more frightened he became, he couldn't help but said: "Then Zhao Guo and the widow were allies not long ago, shouldn't they send troops to attack the widow so soon?"

Hou Sheng said: "Your Majesty, it's really hard to say about this matter. Your Majesty should also know that Zhao Guo will choose a country to attack every spring in the past few years. Looking at all the countries in the world today, Han Wei is Zhao Guo's ally, Yan Qin The armistice with Zhao was not long, and now our Daqi main force is fighting outside and inside is empty, isn't it an excellent target for attack?"

When Qi Wangjian was told by Hou Sheng, he felt that his cold sweat was about to break down, and at the same time, he couldn't help feeling angry, and slapped the table in front of him fiercely: "This Zhao Wang, is it true that he is so contradictory? No?"

Hou Sheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "If you can win, I don't think Zhao Wang's back-and-forth will be anything surprising."

Qi Wangjian fell into silence.

After a while, Qi Wang Jiancai said: "Do you really want to have peace talks with the Yan people?"

Hou Sheng persuaded: "It's better to talk about peace. Anyway, the king has already occupied a large amount of land in the Yan State. It only takes a few years to come again like this. Then the demise of the Yan State is predictable. Why the rush?"

Qi Wangjian snorted sullenly, and said: "Why are you not in a hurry? Today's Yan State is so weak, if it is destroyed independently by Zhao State next time, wouldn't you be at a great loss?"

This is actually the main reason why Qi Wangjian insisted on continuing to attack Yan.

After all, since the First World War last year, Yan State, which lost the land of Dukang and Wuyang City, has undoubtedly become a very weak country. Any country in Qi can only take a defensive position.

Under such circumstances, Zhao State will destroy Yan State alone without continuing to unite with Qi State next time.

It was precisely because he didn't want Zhao Guo to take the lead, so Qi Wangjian, who had always been conservative in his strategy, tried his best to resist all opinions, and continued the battle against Yan even though Zhao Guo had already negotiated peace with Yan Guo.

But judging from the present, it seems that Qi Wangjian's rare persistence this time has not achieved the effect that Qi Wangjian expected.

Hou Sheng continued to persuade: "My lord, the core of Zhao's country should still be in the direction of the Central Plains. I think it will not go north easily in a few years. After all, if the main force of the Zhao army really goes north, wouldn't King Zhao worry about the king and the king?" Wei State and other countries joined forces to attack Handan? So I feel that Zhao State will not go north until the problem of the direction of the Central Plains is resolved."

Qi Wangjian snorted and said: "Even so, the widow will not have such a chance to attack the Yan Kingdom next time!"

After all, the current state of Qi is not considered strong, and if you want to take the initiative to attack, you need to wait for an opportunity.

Hou Sheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I think the opportunity will come soon."
