Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

"All the land east of Shouchun and north of the Yangtze River?" Li Yuan's eyes turned red when he heard these words.

Zhao Guo's request is actually to cut off the essence of Jiujiang County and Kuaiji County of Chu State.

You must know that although these two places were not very developed at this time, these two places are now the countries that have suffered the least war in Chu State.

Moreover, with the weakening of Chu State over the years and the capture of Nanyang County by Qin State, Jiujiang County and Kuaiji County have actually become Chu State's largest source of troops.

Once the essence of these two places is ceded, the war potential of Chu State will be severely damaged, which is definitely not good news for Chu State.

So even though he had already made the decision to make more concessions to Zhao Guo, when faced with this decision, Li Yuan still felt that it seemed a bit beyond his acceptance.

Mao Sui obviously saw this, and said casually beside him: "Mr. Kuaiji, think about the [-] private troops of the three major families who will soon arrive in Yingdu. Compared with life and death , Is such a piece of land really that important?"

After a long time, Yu Xin and Mao Sui walked out of the palace gate side by side, looked at each other and smiled, with relaxed expressions on their faces.

Yu Xin looked at Mao Sui beside him, and said very sincerely: "The reason why this matter can be resolved this time is thanks to Director Mao. After I return to Handan this time, I will definitely play the role of the king and ask for credit for Director Mao!"

Mao Sui smiled and said: "Yu Qing, you don't have to be polite. Since we are both ministers of the Zhao Kingdom, it is only natural to solve the king's worries and problems. Today's work is over, so Mao Sui will take his leave. I hope that in the future There is another chance to cooperate with Yu Qing."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying goodbye.

Chapter 928 Zhao Sheng's Worries (Seventh Change)

Handan, Longtai.

Zhao Dan read the memorial in front of him with a serious face.

"The minister Pang Nuan played the king:

Since Wang Jian led the Qin army into the invasion a month ago, the minister has led the army to fight Wang Jian several times, winning and losing.

From a minister's point of view, this son is quite experienced in using troops and has the style of a general. If he is allowed to grow up, he may become a serious problem in the future.

But please don't worry, your majesty, as long as there are ministers stationed there, then Wang Jian will definitely not be able to seize Xihe. "

Zhao Dan looked at the memorial and remained silent for a long time.

In fact, it can be seen very easily from this, that is, when Pang Nuan faced Wang Jian, he actually felt a lot of pressure.

According to intelligence, this time Wang Jian led the [-] most elite Qin army, while Pang Nuan led the [-] Zhao State Frontier Cavalry Regiment cavalry and [-] Zhao State East County, Shangjun, Jinyang and other places. the county soldiers.

In terms of combat effectiveness, although Pang Nuan has fewer troops, due to the existence of cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the two sides can actually be regarded as [-]-[-].

Under such circumstances, Wang Jian and Pang Nuan were able to fight a [-]/[-] situation, which is already quite an astonishing performance.

After all, Pang Nuan is a long-established veteran, while Wang Jian is just a rookie who has just commanded such a large-scale war for the second time.

Zhao Dan secretly sighed in his heart: "Sure enough, he deserves to be called the most stable person among the four famous generals of the Warring States period. This Wang Jian is really a monster."

Zhao Dan closed the memorial, and said to Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng in front of him: "Pingyuan Jun, you will send an order to conscript [-] young men from the original Korean area to support General Pang Nuan. All the restless elements were brought to the battlefield. By the way, it seems that Bai Qi's son has been in the Habayashi Army for a few years, right? If there is no problem, let him be a general this time."

South Korea is located in the western part of the Central Plains. Although the area is small, it has a large population. After conquering South Korea, the population of Zhao State increased by about 150 million. It is not a big problem to recruit 3 people.

In fact, this is also a common strategy used by countries in the Warring States Period. After all, although a country is destroyed, it does not mean that the people in this country will completely obey.

For example, Yan State, Yan State has been destroyed for many years, but now there are several to dozens of rebellions in the old land of Yan State every year.

Although these rebellions are usually only dozens or even hundreds of people in size, they can be put down very easily, but it also proves that if you want to completely win the hearts of the people in a place, only two or three years are enough. It's hard to do.

In order to effectively reduce the rebellion, it is a very effective strategy to enlist those potential rebels and send them to the battlefield to consume them.

Not only can these unstable factors be directly under the surveillance of the army, but they can also be used effectively to consume the vital strength of the enemy army, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Zhao Guo and Zhao Dan were not the only ones who used this trick. Like the Battle of Changping in history, Qin Wangji conscripted all the young and strong in Hanoi County, which had just been conquered by the Qin Army, to outflank the Zhao Army's retreat, and then With Zhao Kuo's desperate situation of being trapped for forty days and Bai Qi's Changping victory.

Zhao Sheng responded, hesitated for a moment, and then respectfully said: "Your Majesty, I feel that with General Pang Nuan's ability, it should be more than enough to deal with Wang Jian. It seems that there is no need to send troops to support him."

As Pang Nuan's ally, Zhao Sheng certainly wanted to speak for Pang Nuan.

From Zhao Sheng's point of view, how could there be such a big fight against a mere Wang Jian?

So Zhao Sheng felt that this might be a manifestation of Zhao Dan's dissatisfaction with Pang Nuan, or doubts about Pang Nuan's ability.

So when Zhao Sheng said this, he wanted to support Pang Nuan, so that Pang Nuan would not lose too much points in Zhao Dan's heart.

After saying these words, Zhao Sheng was also a little apprehensive.

To be honest, Zhao Dan's power is becoming more and more powerful now. Even Zhao Sheng, a veteran of the three dynasties and his status as Uncle Wang, dare not put on airs. Instead, he is more cautious about doing things.

Zhao Sheng's heart is the same as Ming Jing's. Now Yu Xin is staring at his position. At this time, he must not make any mistakes and let Yu Xin get a chance to replace him.

As soon as he thought that Yu Xin was gaining credit in the state of Chu, Zhao Sheng felt a little depressed. It would be great if he could go to the state of Chu.

At this time in Zhao State, the trend of military division has become very obvious, and the possibility of military generals aspiring to the top position has been infinitely reduced, reaching almost zero.

Under such circumstances, as a minister, it is basically impossible for Yu Xin to have the opportunity to lead the army to destroy the country alone. After all, Lian Po, Pang Nuan and Li Mu are still alive. Which round will you get Yu Xin?

As long as Yu Xin can't get the power to destroy the country, then he can't pose any threat to Zhao Sheng.

The premise is that Zhao Sheng does not make mistakes.

Out of caution, Zhao Sheng not only hopes that he will not make mistakes, but also does not want his allies to make any mistakes.

Zhao Dan glanced at Zhao Sheng, not knowing that his Uncle Wang and Xiangbang had flashed so many thoughts in such a short period of time, but smiled at Zhao Sheng and said, "Mr. I underestimate this Wang Jian. I can say for sure that this Wang Jian will definitely be the biggest trouble for my army in the battle to destroy Qin in the future."

When Zhao Sheng saw Zhao Dan attaching so much importance to a "little-known" military general of the Qin State, he couldn't help feeling a little disapproving, but his face did not show such emotion at all, but he also smiled and said: "What the king said is very true, That being the case, then I will order people to conscript the young and strong. However, the king need not worry, if there is that person in Xianyang, it should be relatively easy to win the state of Qin."

Zhao Sheng didn't specifically name that person, but both Zhao Dan and Zhao Sheng knew very well that this refers to Lu Buwei, the prime minister of the state of Qin today.

Zhao Dan hummed, but thought of another thing in his mind.

When Lu Buwei came to Handan last year, Lu Buwei at that time kept saying that as long as he was given a chance with the plan of exchanging land, Lu Buwei would hope to win Cai Ze and become the uncompromising guy in Qin's political circle.

But now more than half a year has passed, and Cai Ze is still alive and kicking in Qin State's political arena.

Is this something wrong?

Zhao Dan thought for a while, and decided to put this matter aside for the time being.

As a power minister who can leave his name in history books, although Lu Buwei's performance over the years has not been as brilliant as in history, it is enough to prove that he is indeed a very capable person.

"There is no need to doubt the person, and there is no doubt about the employing person. Since this is the case, then let him play it by himself." Zhao Dan made up his mind, and went to discuss other state affairs with Zhao Sheng.

What Zhao Dan didn't know was that at this moment, Lu Buwei, who was far away in Xianyang, was facing a great trouble.
