Wu Qi's eyes stared at the maps with thick black lines drawn on Gao Yuan's push, his lips trembled, and his body couldn't help shaking on the leather mattress.

"Shameless, shameless!" He finally couldn't help but exclaim. The part of the map that Gao Yuan pushed over with thick lines enclosed almost most of the entire Wei state into the territory of the Han state, and several counties near the border of the Zhao state belonged to the Zhao state.

He looked at Gao Yuan with red eyes: "King Han, you must not mean this, right?"

"Of course!" Gao Yuan spread his hands, "If that's what I mean, you won't be able to see this map."

Wu Qi exhaled a long breath, looked a lot more relaxed, stood up, and bowed deeply towards Gao Yuan, "Wu Qi thanks King Han for his righteousness, and my king will also thank King Han for his preservation."

"Security is not necessarily!" Gao Yuan said lightly: "Since Zhao Guo has this thought, Wu Xiang, please forgive me, it is difficult for you to resist now, don't forget, now in Daliang, 10,000 elite Zhao people are stationed, and your troops are basically facing the Qin people on the outside line, if the Zhao people make a move, your troops will not be able to rescue at all."

"Since King Gao Yi of Han has revealed this secret to us, we will naturally be on guard, and after I go back this time, I will think of expelling the Zhao people from my Wei country." Wu Qi gritted his teeth and said.

"Never!" Gao Yuan shook his head again and again*, "Wu Xiang, if you are in such a hurry, you will show your traces, if you let Zhao Ren detect the traces, I am afraid that it will be you who will suffer first. And if you clash with the Zhao people, the Qin people are afraid that they will drive straight in. And if there is no support from Zhao State, dare to ask Wu Xiang, what can you use to resist the attack of the Qin people?"

Wu Qi wilted all of a sudden. All along, Zhao has been the staunchest supporter of Wei, and over the years, without the support of the Zhao people, Wei would have collapsed long ago, but today, under the continuous attack of the Qin people, the Wei State has exhausted the last drop of blood, and the Zhao people abandoned themselves and used their own land to curry favor with the Han State, naturally because the Wei State can no longer share the pressure for the Zhao State.

"Why did the king teach me?" Wu Qi sighed deeply. The Zhao people are going to sell the Wei State, and the Han State is naturally not a docile cat, but also a tiger that goes down the mountain, the Wei people are sandwiched between Zhao, Han, and Qin, and it is not enough to describe the current predicament, but now he can only grasp the last straw, since Gao Yuan entrusts Zhao Qi's conspiracy and plate with himself, then at least he has no intention of annexing Wei now, which can at least buy a little time for Wei.

"Under the current situation, Wei must not be without the support of the Zhao army, but since Zhao has the intention of abandoning Wei, then, as a Wei person, you might as well introduce another army to enter, as a result of containing each other with the Zhao army, and no one dares to act rashly, so that Wu Xiang can use all his energy to resist the Qin people." Gao Yuan said with a smile.

"King Han is saying, let's invite your troops to enter the Great Liang as well?" Wu Qi felt a little unbelievable.

"Not bad!" Gao Yuan said: "Wu Xiang doesn't have to doubt, my Han does not covet the land of Wei, speaking of land, I think Wu Xiang also knows that my Han State controls the area of zhì, the first in the world, we are not short of land. Even now, the land we have taken back from the Qin people still belongs to the Wei State, and we will only manage it for a period of time."

Wu Qi was silent, Gao Yuan's words made him unbelievable.

"Wu Xiang, what do you say our Han Kingdom lacks?" Takato asked.

Wu thought about it for a while and said: "Your country lacks people, as well as a strong economic foundation, the previous war was against Donghu, which had a worse economic foundation, and the victory against Qi was a surprise."

"Wu Xiang can see accurately, my Han is indeed a big man and a thin man, but what's the use of Guangda? If there is no people, there will be no endless wealth of nature, so the most precious thing has always been not the land, but the people. If we need to grow, we need a large number of people, and we need to accumulate a certain amount of economic strength in case of possible conflicts with Qin, Chu, and Zhao."

Gao Yuan paused for a moment, and then said: "Don't hide it from Wu Xiang, although my Han is now established and looks majestic, in fact, it is really an empty shelf, and the treasury is completely wiped out, so I need to accumulate enough strength in a very short time, those areas of your country, the land is fertile, and the population is dense, so although I know that the food is a little ugly, I still need to control him in my hands. It's not that I'm going to blow the big air, in our hands, it won't take three or five years, and these places will definitely be able to create huge wealth, and these can't be done in the hands of your country, and if you don't have us, you won't even be able to keep these places at all."

"But those places are now Han and not Wei!" Wu Qi couldn't help but sneer. What good will that do to my Wei country?"

"Definitely!" Gao Yuan shook his head again and again, "I said before, we are just in charge, and when we accumulate enough strength, these places are still Wei State's, and our Han Dynasty, with a few years of recuperation, I think we have also made great progress, at that time, do I still need your small territory?"

"Does the King of Han mean that you will return these places to the Wei State three years at the earliest, or five years at the latest?" Wu Qi asked with some suspicion.

"Not bad." Gao Yuan said without hesitation: "And in order to show our sincerity, when our Han State is in charge of these areas, your army can still recruit troops in these places, of course, it can only be recruited and not forcibly recruited, because we need people here, but we will not stop the young people of Wei who are willing to serve the country to serve the country!"

"Is that true?" Wu Qihuo stood up.

"Of course." Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Not only that, we also have further measures, after a period of time, your country can also send officials into the local official office, as a deputy to assist the local officials we appointed, but also to lay the foundation for us to return to Wei in a few years."

"If that's the case, that's great!" Wu Qi was overjoyed, if Wei could still appoint officials to the past, even if it was only symbolic, without the slightest right, but at least it would symbolize Wei's right to rule in these places.

"At the same time, we manage these areas, in a sense, it is naturally infringing on the interests of your country, so we also have a compromise approach." Gao Yuan took out another document from the big case and pushed it in front of Wu Qi.

"Lending?" Wu Qi raised his head and glanced at Gao Yuan suspiciously.

"Yes, these places, as the areas leased by our Han to the Wei State, during the lease period, we have the right to garrison troops, the right to collect taxes, and the right to administer, and the rights we enjoy have been listed in detail above." Gao Yuan tapped his finger on the paperwork.

"Since it's a loan, then naturally Luo has a loan fee?" Wu Qi asked with hope.

Gao Yuan laughed, "Naturally, there is, but now we are short of silver, but we can use weapons to compensate, and we are willing to arm a new army for the Wei State!"

"Give us weapons?" Wu Qi Daxi.

"Yes." Gao Yuan said with certainty: "Your country can recruit a new army, and the officers of this army are sent by Wei Guowei, but the training must be done by us, and we will form an advisory group to enter this new army to assist your country in commanding operations, Wu Xiang, to tell you from the heart, I have doubts about the training ability and combat ability of your country's officers, I don't want us to arm a new army for your country, and in the end, these sharp weapons have not played their due role, and they have fallen into the hands of the enemy."

When Wu Qi heard this, he couldn't help but feel ashamed, over the years, the Wei State and the Qin State had been at war, and almost every battle was defeated, and they were beaten back one after another, while the Han army and the Qin army clashed several times, but they all ended in victory. The difference in the combat effectiveness of the armies of the two sides is obvious.

"If it's just to help train and assist in commanding battles, I can promise the king right now!" Wu Qi is definitely authentic.

"That's great!" Gao Yuan was overjoyed and said: "With our help, I believe that your country will not dare to say a counterattack in the next confrontation with the Qin people, but it is more than enough to defend it."

Wu Qi put away the documents on the table about the loan, "King Han, I need to go back to China to discuss with the king, I believe that King Han will be able to answer soon."

"No problem, I'd like to get an answer as soon as possible." Gao Yuan's head said.

"And what about this?" Wu Qi pointed to the map.

"The Zhao people and the Wei State are dependent on each other, now is far from the time to turn the face, and the Wei State does not have the capital to turn the face, can only come slowly step by step, I believe that with the help of your army, the combat effectiveness will slowly increase, and the Zhao people will become more and more difficult under the attack of the Qin people, and at that time, without you opening your mouth, the Zhao State will also withdraw Zhou Changshou's army." Gao Yuan analyzed. And at that time, behind the Wei State is our Great Han, and I believe that the Zhao State will weigh the weight."

"I hope so, thank you King Gao Yi of Han, if it weren't for King Han, my Wei Kingdom would be ruined!" Wu Qi said with emotion: "Before, I hated King Han very much for annexing a large piece of my country's territory, but now it seems that I am living the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

"The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see the hearts of the people over time." Gao Yuan smiled in response.

Wu Qi left, and Ning Xin, who had been sitting on the side, looked at Gao Yuan and asked with a smile, "Lending?" You can figure it out, big brother? After three or five years, will you really give these places back to him?"

"I'm willing to pay it back then, but are the people in these places willing to go back?" Gao Yuan smiled.

"If you really don't want to go back, what will you do?" Ning Xin asked curiously.

"It's easy to do, when the time comes, those who want to go back and those who don't want to go back will naturally have many contradictions, and there will be a lot of chaos, we can come to make a referendum!"

"Referendum?" Ning Xin asked curiously, "What is this?"

"It is to let all the people in this area vote to decide whether to belong to our Han State or return to the Wei State." Gao Yuan explained.

Ning Xin was dumbfounded, "Is this okay?"

"Why not?" Gao Yuandao: "The foundation of my Han Kingdom is the most ordinary people, and what I enjoy in my Han Kingdom, Wei State does not have, and although ordinary people are at the bottom, there is no doubt that they are the most, and the results of the vote speak for themselves."

"Why are you so lenient to the Wei State? In fact, Zhao Qi's plan is also good." Ning Xin asked. It's too much trouble."

"Then tell me, why don't we take advantage of the internal strife in Qi to take the Qi State now, is it because we are not strong enough?"

"Of course not!" Ning Xin shook her head and said.

"Because of the human heart!" Gao Yuan said: "I am the Han Dynasty Yan self-reliance, even within the Yan Kingdom, it is not without opposition, what has Cao Tianci been doing, isn't it just to purge the remnants of the Yan Kingdom?" This is still because I am a native of Yan State, and I have always had a good reputation, and Ji Ling is too angry, if we send troops to Qi State now, I am afraid that the two sons of the Tian family will join forces, and the Qi people will also work together to resist us, which is very likely to be a bad battle, so that we are deeply trapped in it and unable to extricate ourselves."

"The same is true of the Wei State?"

"It's basically the same, but there are differences, the existence of the Wei State is a buffer ground between us and the Qin people and the Zhao people, so we can only use more moderate means, little by little erosion, their people, officials, and army, we will transform little by little, and there will be a day when the water will come to fruition."

"I don't know what's in your head? Can you think of a way to do this?" Ning Xin shook her head with emotion.

Gao Yuan laughed, "There's naturally wisdom in there." (To be continued......) R1292
