Chapter 239: After getting rid of the Wei State, then it's time to pay attention to the Xiongnu (Fourth Update)

Handan.

"What are you talking about, Goki is dead?"

After seeing the reward that Su Dai gave him in front of him, Zhao Dan couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked, and after getting a definite answer, he couldn't help but shake his head.

To be honest, Zhao Dan really didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Although Zhao Dan does not have a good impression of this Gao Ji, the reason is not because of his high-level male pet status, but because of Gao Ji's hostility towards Zhao Guo.

But now that Gao Ji is dead, this is actually good news for Zhao Dan.

The pro-Qin faction naturally counts one death as one.

While unconsciously tapping on the table in front of him with his fingers, Zhao Dan opened his mouth and asked Su Dai in front of him: "In addition to this high-based matter, what else does Wei Wangyu have to explain?"

Su Dai replied: "Back to the king, after the execution of Gao Ji, the king of Wei said that he was unwell, so it was Wei Wuji, the king of Xinling, who came forward to talk to his ministers about this matter. According to Wei Wuji's words, Wei will definitely not send troops to help Qin in this war, and Wei will also abide by the alliance of the Three Jin Dynasty to the end. ”

Zhao Dan couldn't help but heaved when he heard this, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This Wei Wangyu, when the widow and him had a good discussion, he didn't listen, did he have to accept a lesson to speak so well?" ”

I have to say that some people in this world are indeed so untidy, if you talk to him well, he won't take you seriously, but when you really show your fist, he will immediately coax again, and then say to you with a frightened look: "Oops, it was just a joke, don't take it seriously, I apologize to you here." ”

Before Zhao Dan crossed over, he had beaten such a fool a lot.

But in any case, the matter has come to this point, and the trouble on the Wei side should be satisfactorily resolved.

Qin has one less helper, Chu has one less opponent, and the number of allies of Zhao remains the same, which is already very satisfactory for Zhao Dan.

So Zhao Dan nodded towards Su Dai and showed a commendatory smile: "The doctor has done a very good job this time, let's go back and rest first." ”

After Su Dai retired, Zhao Dan raised his head and asked several other ministers present: "Zhuqing, in your opinion, what should be done in this matter?" ”

Xiangbang Zhao Sheng opened his mouth and said: "King, before Yicheng, after all, the Wei State was caused by me taking care of the Mongolian State, since Wei Wangyu has already expressed his position and apologizes, then, let's stop here at this time." ”

Zhao Dan thought for a moment, nodded, and expressed his approval of Zhao Sheng's suggestion.

After all, no matter what, Wei Wangyu has already killed his close lover to make amends, if he persecuts it too much, maybe Wei Wangyu will really jump over the wall in a hurry, and he will break the net with Zhao Guolai.

As the saying goes, rabbits bite when they're in a hurry.

Although Wei Wangyu has always taken a concessionary attitude towards both Qin and Zhao, this does not mean that Wei Wangyu is a person who has no temper at all.

Of course, from the perspective of Zhao Dan's heart, it is obviously impossible for Wei Wangyu, the anti-bone boy, to end here, but it can be considered in the long run.

At least we have to wait for Wei Wangyu to slow down for a few months and get better.

Thus the topic of Wei ended, and the next question quickly changed to the more urgent and important event for Zhao today, that is, the war against the Xiongnu.

Zhao Dan turned his gaze to Lian Po, who was present, and said, "General, please introduce the situation in the northern battlefield now." ”

Since receiving the information that the Qin army had sent troops to the territory of Chu State, there was no need for Lian Po to sit in Shangdang County, and Zhao Dan also transferred Lian Po back as soon as possible.

Even if Lian Po is not allowed to go to the battlefield in person, then let Lian Po analyze the situation for Zhao Dan in the rear.

Due to Zhao Dan's prior orders, someone had already hung a map on the side of the main hall.

Lian Po stood up, walked in front of the map, and began to point at the map, explaining by the way.

"According to the news that came a few days ago, the Huns have besieged the two cities of Yuanyang and Pingyin for half a month, although the two cities have not yet fallen at this moment, but if there are no reinforcements within half a month, these two cities will definitely fall into the hands of the Huns."

As soon as Lian Po's words came out, the faces of the ministers of Zhao State present changed slightly.

Yuanyang City is located in the south of Daqing Mountain, the eastern branch of the Yinshan Mountain Range, and is one of the important towns of Yunzhong County.

Pingyin City is located in the central north of Hongshou Mountain and Xiawu Mountain, and is the important town of Yanmen County.

Although they have been subjects of Zhao for decades, many Hu people have gradually lived a settled life, but there are still many Hu people who adhere to the nomadic tradition.

Therefore, each city in the five counties will hoard a large amount of grain and grass in order to provide winter food for the Hu people in the five northern counties of Zhao when winter comes.

Of course, these grains could not have been grown on this prairie, but came from other grain-producing areas of Zhao and were mobilized by the Zhao government.

Of course, it is impossible to provide such food for free, and if the Hu people want to obtain food, then they must sacrifice livestock, war horses and other resources in exchange, and they must also obey the call of Zhao and join the Zhao army to fight for Zhao.

It is precisely because of the absorption of a large number of Hu cavalry on horseback that the cavalry combat effectiveness of Zhao State will be left behind other countries.

This is why the Xiongnu wanted to go south at this time, because at this time, the cities of the five northern counties of Zhao State were hoarding a large amount of grain that had just been allocated and had not yet been distributed.

This is also the reason why the Xiongnu, as a nomadic tribe, persevered in besieging the two cities for half a month.

After all, everyone is a Hu person, and it is not difficult for the Huns to get a little news from Lin Hu and Lou Fu.

According to the previous estimates of the ministers of Zhao State, as long as any of the cities of Yuanyang and Pingyin were breached, then the Huns would be able to get food to survive this winter, and if both cities were breached, then the Huns would not only be able to survive this winter, but would even become stronger than before.

This situation is obviously something that Zhao Dan simply does not allow to happen.

To be honest, since the history books have always been vague about the southward movement of the northern nomads during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Zhao Dan himself is not clear about how the historical Zhao State coped with this Xiongnu invasion after the defeat of Changping.

But there is one thing that Zhao Dan is very clear.

The Huns, they must not drink the blood of Zhao to become stronger!
