Zhao Guo destroyed Zhongshan, which had been inserted in his heart for several generations, which was of great significance to Zhao Guo.

From then on, let the Zhao State, which was originally divided by Zhongshan, connect the two counties of the Jin Dynasty into a whole. It increased the land area of Zhao by one-third. In terms of the entire land area, population, and military strength, Zhao Guo deserves to become the leader of this country full of princes, and has the capital to compete for hegemony in the world.

Looking at the Zhongshan Sanqi and touching the inscription engraved on the Sanqi by a king of Zhongshan on them, Zhao Xing said meaningfully to Zhao Yong and Baiguan on the palace of King Zhao: "How good it is to say that "Friends are not close, enemies are on the side". This is exactly what we Zhao people said, don't be complacent and celebrate, Zhao Guo, the real crisis has appeared. ”

Hearing Zhao Xing's words, the originally grand and noisy celebration banquet became silent, and all eyes were on Zhao Xing.

Zhao Xing's face was serious to those who disagreed, to those who were complacent, and those who listened respectfully, and quoted the remarks of the Warring States Policy that only came in later generations: "We destroyed Zhongshan, the land of Zhongshan is five hundred miles, Zhao is good at it, Lingshou, Tongdai County, and has become a unique power in the world. In human terms, we were a complete victory. But. ”

A word is really deafening, because Zhao Xing struck the Zhongshan Iron Foot Ding, and the huge sound was really discordant.

"But, there is no harm in the world, how long can we last it? Ladies and gentlemen, you should be soberly aware that it took a year and a half, we consumed our four years of accumulation, delayed the levy for two years, and the people delayed farming, in fact, our Zhao State has also been hollowed out. Internationally, because of the annexation of Zhongshan, we have become the fear of the princes of the world, and we have become the target of the princes of the world. ”

Faced with this, Xiangbang Feiyi, who was the first to calm down, said worriedly: "Master is right, the princes have been fighting for so many years, and there is a delicate balance in this. Chu Qiang, then the Ten Kingdoms will attack Chu, Qin Qiang, then the Five Kingdoms will be combined, everyone does not want to appear in this Central Plains land, there is a big country that is overwhelming, and now, as the master said, we have really become the target of the public. ”

Zhao Xing was very pleased, and he was relieved that this prestige was actually higher than Zhao Yong's, and the two dynasties could have such a sober meaning.

Le Yi is already the general of Zhao State, and in this battle to destroy the country, his performance was recognized by the entire Zhao State, and he became the feudal monarch of Zhao State, of course, he is qualified to speak. So, he also echoed Feiyi, in fact, it was his lord brother Zhao Xing: "Tang Hou is right, after this battle, in fact, our Zhao State has already become strong and strong." In terms of the army, we have lost 30,000 of the 50,000 iron cavalry we have built with all our strength, and the civilian army we have recruited has lost more than 100,000, which can be said to be exhausted, so we should turn from offensive to defensive in the future. ”

Then he arched his hand to Zhao Yong: "If there is another war, it can only be maintained by Xingjun, please be attentive." ”

Zhao Xing could only grit his teeth at this brother who obviously betrayed him. Le Yi looked at the four big words "eat inside and outside" flowing on his brother's face, smiled proudly, and also flowed on his face: "The Lu of the Eater, the matter of loyalty to the King, I am a scholar, and I must adhere to the ethics of a scholar." ”

is also a feudal monarch, and Xu Jie, who is qualified to sit in this court, smiled at Le Yi.

Le Yi could ignore his brother's anger, but he felt the wind sword and snow sword in Xu Jie's laughter, and couldn't help but tremble - this kid wants to yin himself.

Xu Jie smiled, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve, looked at it for a while, and then said to Le Yi with a heavy face: "My general, this time I destroyed Zhongshan, I lost 15,000 cavalry on behalf of the county, and Lou Fu's department under the jurisdiction of Dai Xingjun lost 40,000 cavalry, I ask you to calculate the pension." Then directly stopped what Le Yi wanted to say, and directly sent the piece of paper to Le Yi: "Don't tell me, there is no way to bereavement in the world, then, I will tell you now, we have it in Daijun, this is the rule of Daijun." Then he said proudly: "Of course, this is about to become the rule of the world." Since we have fought for the country on behalf of the county and Lou Fu, and we have not yet shared the spoils of half of the land of Zhongshan as originally agreed, then please give the appropriation, casualty pension, and military salaries therein, a total of 210 million yuan, and bring it. ”

Le Yi broke out in a cold sweat at that time, and said, "I just want to fight." ”

Xu Jie retorted sternly at that time: "General, you are in charge of everything in the Zhao Kingdom's soldiers and horses, how can you just fight the war, this is a dereliction of duty, my Daijun and Lou Fu military horses are also nominally under your control, so I must owe me to you." ”

Le Yi was embarrassed, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing turned his head and ignored it directly, but he could clearly see the three big words flashing on the back of his brother Zhao Xing's head, "Anti-bone." ”

Le Yi immediately knew that he was wrong, and he couldn't escape from the palms of these two people no matter what.

Hubu Shangshu also lamented: "The wheat we have accumulated in four years has been eaten, and we have also exempted the 400,000 soldiers before and after the levy, that is, the taxes of 400,000 households for two years, and the treasury is already empty." We can't start any wars. Please increase the tribute to Xingjun twice. ”

Zhao Xing obviously floated across his face: "I'll strangle you" four big words.

This Tobe Shangshu turned a blind eye to this. also floated over four big words, I don't belong to you.

Xu Jie arched his hand: "This doctor, may I ask what is your name?" ”

For the shameless questioning of the already superior ten feudal monarchs, this Shangshu couldn't help but shrink his neck and muttered that he didn't dare to sign up.

Xu Jie smiled and said to him: "Don't be afraid, I won't eat you." Then he took out a roll of paper directly from his sleeve, looked through it for a while, and muttered with relief: "I found it." "And then I felt chills in my back

Xu Jie said to Zhao Guo's household department: "To destroy Zhongshan, we can do without our own logistics money and food, because according to the rules, this is our obligation as a feudal monarch." But the equipment and salaries needed by the king's army were borrowed from us on behalf of the county. Well, that's the amount you borrowed each time, so please pay it back in the near future. ”

When Tobe Shangshu saw the number on it, he felt a burst of dizziness, and his lips trembled: "This, as I just said, this treasury is empty. ”

Xu Jie was unhappy at the time: "If the treasury is empty, will you not pay off your debts?" Our landlord's family has no surplus food, and we are still waiting for the rice to be put into the pot. ”

In order to divert the embarrassment of his colleagues, the official Shangshu said: "Now that Zhongshan has just arrived, it is most necessary to recover, especially at the suggestion of Xingjun, we have thoroughly implemented the county system in Zhongshan, and no longer set up feudal lords, so——"

Xu Jie immediately showed anger.

What he hates the most is this, because according to the agreement, Zhao Xing took Zhongshan and returned it to the country, and there was no longer the rule that Zhao Xing was given half of the original agreement, so Xu Jie thought that if Zhao Xing got half of Zhongshan, he could get at least one or two fiefs in villages and towns, and he would not be respected and respected as a feudal monarch in the open, but in fact, he was secretly embarrassed to be called the village head.

"By the way, the hundreds of officials we resettled for the country in the occupied area should all be withdrawn in accordance with the covenant between the king and my lord, and Zhongshan should be completely handed over to the king. Okay, please ask the old doctor of the ministry to send someone to receive it immediately. Then he didn't forget to say to the head of the household who was already fainting: "The official of the past year and a half, don't forget, we paid in advance on behalf of the county, and we must return a grain of rice." ”

The head of the household department and the book of rites fainted directly.

The household department said that the officials fainted because he really couldn't let Zhao Xing's officials leave.

First of all, there are not so many officials in direct hands, even if there is, there is no talent, even if there is talent, there is no familiarity with the policy of those officials of Zhao Xing, and if Zhao Xing really withdraws his officials, half of Zhongshan will become completely anarchic. At that time, Zhongshan will not be his own fat, but a hedgehog.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was about to open his mouth, Xu Jie smiled slightly and reached into his arms.

At that time, the Ministry of Rites remembered that in the Battle of Zhongshan, the edict of Zhou Tianzi that blocked the mouths of the princes of the world, it is said that Zhao Xing spent a lot of money to buy it, so he immediately shut up.

Seeing that the people below were deflated in front of Xu Jie, Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Xing: "Teacher, the country is in trouble." ”

Zhao Xing immediately replied painfully: "Your teacher-teacher, it's difficult for me." ”

Zhao Yong immediately turned his head and ordered the eunuch: "Immediately, build a high platform in the inner palace, I want to avoid debts." ”
