When winter was coming, a good news that Zhao Dan had been waiting for for a long time finally came.

The last stronghold of the Koreans, Wancheng, which was garrisoned by Han Prince An and the remnants of the Han army, was finally broken by the Zhao army led by Lian Po due to lack of food.

Even after breaking through the city, the Zhao army still encountered fierce resistance in the streets and alleys of Wancheng.

This made Lian Po very angry.

In fact, not only Lian Po, but also Zhao Jun has a strong resentment against this city.

So Wancheng was stricken.

Thousands of Korean soldiers under the crown prince of Han were all executed, and the Zhao army took the whole city and reduced all the adult males in the city to slavery, some of them were sent to factories in the north to make iron, and some were sent to the northwest to build a city.

But this actually did not satisfy the Zhao army, and even many Zhao army generals asked for a massacre.

The so-called massacre of the city was to kill all the men in the city who were taller than the wheels, and reduce the women and young children to slavery.

This suggestion was rejected by Lian Po very decisively.

In any case, the fall of Wanseong is definitely something that deserves to go down in history as it symbolizes the complete demise of Korea.

After the end of the Battle of Wancheng, Wei, Yan, and Han among the original Seven Heroes of the Warring States have completely become history, and only Qin, Chu, and Qi are left on the road to Zhao's domination of the world.

After the New Year's Day of this year, there was also a highly confidential discussion in Longtai, which ushered in the first snow of the year.

Zhao Dan looked at the eight important ministers of Longtai in front of him (Pang Xuan was absent because of guarding the northwest), coughed and cleared his throat, and said slowly: "Summoning Zhuqing here today is actually for one thing. When the spring of the coming year comes, it will be the time for the widows to send troops again, which country do you think you should choose as the next target? ”

As soon as Zhao Dan's words fell, the faces of many ministers had different expressions.

Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, as the prime minister, was naturally the first to speak: "Great King, the minister thinks that the Qin State should be the next target. ”

Zhao Dan set his eyes on Zhao Sheng: "Pingyuanjun, tell me your reason." ”

Zhao Shengdao: "Looking at the Three Kingdoms now, only the Qin State is the strongest, and it has such a rich land as Guanzhong, which is an excellent target suitable for attacking. After taking the Qin State, Chu Qi was not in trouble. ”

"And if you take Qin, it will also be convenient for the battle of Chu in the future, when the king can send a main force from Handan to the south, and at the same time send a partial division from Bashu to the east along the Yangtze River, so that the two will cooperate, and the battle of Chu will be much easier."

Zhao Sheng finished these words without stopping in one breath, obviously he had already thought about it.

After listening to Zhao Sheng's words, Zhao Dan nodded thoughtfully, but did not express his opinion immediately.

There were no one else who spoke.

After Zhao Sheng spoke, the next person to speak was Lian Po.

I saw that the old general, who had just returned to the dynasty, said in a loud voice: "King, the minister thinks that Qi is the most suitable target. Now that the State of Qi has been completely surrounded by the State of Zhao, if the king attacks the State of Qi, then neither the State of Chu nor the State of Qin wants to send troops to help, but they will not be able to directly reach the territory of the State of Qi. ”

"In this way, the king only needs to send two partial divisions to delay the footsteps of Qin and Chu, and the country of Qi is now the smallest country among the three kingdoms, the king can send the main force to destroy it in the shortest time, so that the two countries of Qin and Chu will not even have time to take any action, and the country of Qi will have perished, so this is the right way, the king."

Zhao Dan smashed his mouth, and he saw a little sign of it.

From the perspective of Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, he hopes that it will be difficult first and then easy.

It is natural to take down the most difficult bone Qin State first, and then eliminate the Chu State and the Qi State.

From Wu Xinjun's point of view, it is hoped that it will be easy first and then difficult.

After all, Qi is completely in the bag of Zhao from a geographical point of view, and Handan is also very close to Qi State, so winning Qi is undoubtedly a time-saving and labor-saving choice.

Although the two giants had already expressed their opinions, Zhao Dan still did not make a decision immediately, but said: "Do the other ministers have any opinions?" ”

Yu Xin and Li Bo quickly expressed their support for Lian Po, and Ju Xin naturally wanted to shout for Zhao Sheng, and Li Si also joined Zhao Sheng's Qin camp after thinking for a while.

In this way, only Zheng Zhu and Li Mu did not express their position.

Zheng Zhu cleared his throat and took the lead in saying, "The king, the minister also thinks that attacking the Qi State is a good idea. Now the Qi State Prime Minister Hou Sheng under the efforts of the minister and Hu Yiwei attitude is extremely Emer, the minister thinks that as long as he sends a large army to attack the Qi State and puts the Qi State to the brink, Hou Sheng is likely to be unable to resist this pressure and persuade Qi Wangjian to surrender. ”

Zhao Dan hummed and nodded lightly.

In history, when the Qin army attacked Qi, it was Hou Sheng who persuaded Qi Wangjian to surrender without a fight, and Qi was also the weakest country in Qin's unification war, which has to be said to have a lot to do with Qi Wangjian and Hou Sheng, a pair of faint monarchs and ministers.

Although after Zhao Dan crossed, this Qi Wangjian didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong and always wanted to go against Zhao Dan, but after all, Housheng was still that Housheng, and the influence of this Qi State Prime Minister on Qi Wangjian was still leveraged, so it was indeed not impossible to persuade Qi Wangjian to surrender.

Zhao Dan finally set his eyes on Li Mu: "Metropolitan Governor, you are the main general this time, you can also talk about your opinion." ”

Li Mu wants to become the main general of the next battle, which is already a well-known thing.

Everyone turned their eyes to Li Mu, wanting to know Li Mu's answer.

In view of the fact that Li Mu has always been deeply trusted by the king, it is very clear in the hearts of all the ministers present that in fact, Li Mu's answer is the most weighty.

Li Mu also seemed to have a good idea, so he quickly replied: "Great King, the minister thinks that the proximity of the Qi State to Handan is an unstable factor. Therefore, it is still necessary to settle the Qi State first, so that the ministers can rest assured that they can go west and south to destroy the Qin State and the Chu State. ”

Li Mu also believed that Qi was a suitable target for conquest.

This is actually understandable, after all, from Li Mu's own point of view, commanding a super-large corps with mixed infantry and cavalry is still the first time that a big girl has been on a sedan chair, and it is understandable to choose the most confident opponent.

Since everyone has answered, Zhao Dan no longer hesitates and makes a decision.

"Very good, then let's take Qi Country as the next target, all the secretaries will perform their duties, don't make any mistakes!"
