Chapter 57: The Vital Part

Lao Fan said: "How do I know this!" It was only an hour ago that I heard from the military officer about it. ”

Xiang Zhuang didn't think he was a fool, of course he could think of it, Li Zuoche couldn't tell his subordinates about Xingyang's eyeliner, or this eyeliner was directly controlled by Zhao Xie, and even Li Zuoche didn't know.

He can also "come up with it", Liu Bang's confidential things can be known, either overheard by the people guarding Liu Bang's door in Xingyang, or leaked by Zhang Liang or Chen Ping.

In the Jinsuo Pass City, a special place was set aside to detain the surrender of the Chu army.

In the evening, the soldiers and soldiers of Zhao who were guarding here were chatting about a topic.

"That Xiang Yu, it's so stupid, Chen Ping bribed people to spread rumors in Chuying, and Xiang Yu was fooled to beat us."

"Liu Bang, this bastard, laughed at Xiang Yu for being a fool in Xingyang, and praised Chen Ping for being smart!"

"Humph! Han Xin couldn't attack my Zhao country, so Liu Bang used this trick to let the brave and unscrupulous Xiang Yu come to beat us, so he could pick up the cheap. ”

"Liu Bang can't beat Xiang Yu, so he uses tricks to let Xiang Yu fight us to the death, Xiang Yu is really stupid, so he can be fooled."

“……”

Zhao soldiers, you don't stop talking about me.

Hearing these words, the Chu soldiers were stunned.

"Where did you hear that?"

Inside the door, a low-level officer of the Chu army asked Zhao Bing, who was guarding the door.

Zhao Bingjia responded: "I heard from the military waiter, it was Dutong who told him. ”

Zhao Bingyi said: "Our soldiers and people of Zhao Kingdom know that you are in the dark. ”

Zhao Bingbing said: "Your King Xiang, you are really stupid, Chen Ping used a little trickery, he was actually fooled!" ”

Zhao Bingding said: "Liu Bang's small skills in carving insects have long been recognized by my king. ”

Zhao Bingjia said: "The Han army can't attack my Zhao State, so I use this trick to let King Xiang attack Zhao State in the north." Hum! I, the king, will not spare Liu Bang, sooner or later I will have to cook him alive. ”

………

Zhao Bing kept talking, and the general meaning was that Liu Bang was treacherous, Xiang Yu was stupid, and Zhao Wang was wise.

Thousands of Chu troops surrendered, and they quickly discussed, although they were defeated by the Zhao army, they did not hate Zhao Guo, but the more they talked, the more they hated Liu Bang, and it was Liu Bang who led to the current result.

The next day, Li Zuoche came to the place where Xiang Zhuang was being held and ordered him to be released.

Because Xiang Zhuang learned of Liu Bang's treacherous schemes, his attitude was not as arrogant as when he was captured, and he said to Li Zuo Lan: "You want to let me go?" ”

Li Zuoche said kindly: "Chu State is not the enemy of Zhao State, Liu Bang is the enemy of Zhao State." Could it be that you and thousands of soldiers were killed, so that Liu Bang could secretly laugh? You and the soldiers are all gone. ”

This is part of the scheme, after Xiang Zhuang and the Chu soldiers go back, they will definitely spread the news to the Chu army.

Thousands of Chu soldiers were released and, along with Xiang Zhuang, transported by ship by the Zhao army to the other side.

Of course, it was impossible to return the weapons, armor, and war horses of the Chu army to them, Li Zuoche only gave them the dry food they needed for three days, and only Xiang Zhuang got a horse.

When these people reached the south bank of the Zhangshui River, they headed east, and Zhao Jun had already told them Xiang Yu's approximate current location.

In Xiangguo City, the topic that the people talked about the most in the past two days was why Xiang Yu invaded Zhao State, Liu Bang's treachery, Xiang Yu's stupidity, and the people here are well known.

At present, this news is not only spread among the Zhao army, but also among the people of Xiangguo, and Zhao Xie used this method to publicize it, which can not only make Xiang Yu withdraw from the army or negotiate peace, but also counter Liu Bang's conspiracy.

In the past two days, Zhao Xie spent most of his time in the Household Department and the Military Department, and there was no general person in charge of these two departments, so he could only temporarily play the role of the Secretary of the Household Department and the Captain of the Military Department.

In terms of households, under the supervision of Zhao Xie, the new tax policy and population statistics were carried out in an orderly manner, and according to the preliminary information, the population of Zhao State that had been concealed was at least 200,000.

With the implementation of the new policy, Zhao Xie will pay attention to which officials are more active and more capable of work, and those officials who are slack and incompetent, because there are many vacancies, and the officials want to perform well and make Zhao Wang favor in order to get promoted.

Of course, there are also flattering people among the officials, this trick is useless to Zhao Xie, he focuses on real work performance.

In terms of the military department, all the work has not been adversely affected by Li Zuoche's resignation, recruitment and training are carried out as usual, and Zhao Xie also plans to build advanced weapons, such as the Zhuge crossbow, which can be invented at an appropriate time.

The outcome of a war depends on many aspects, including the training of soldiers, morale and will to fight, grain and grass logistics, and the commander's ability to command.

In the evening, Zhao Xie returned to the palace, and Zhao Qian came back with a stack of papers.

"Your Majesty, it's your request!"

She is like a student who hands in her homework, and Zhao Xie is the teacher who will mark her.

Zhao Xie picked up a piece of paper and checked it, it was indeed a lot better than last time, and he gave the beautiful wife an approving look.

"There's still room for improvement, but the quality is finally qualified and ready for mass production."

The work performance was affirmed by her husband, and Zhao Qian was happy.

The two talked about Xiang Yu again, which made Zhao Qian smile and bend over.

Zhao Qian said with a smile: "Xiang Yu, this stupid pig, even if you say the king, he has developed limbs and a simple mind, this time he will definitely make him angry!" ”

Zhao Xie also smiled: "Some time ago, when he heard rumors in the Chu army, he was already angry once, and this is the second time. ”

Zhao Qian said again: "Xiang Yu's wife, Yu Ji, must be very distressed when she learns that her husband has been angry twice!" By the way, everyone in the world says that Yu Ji is beautiful, I don't know if I have the opportunity to meet her, and the concubine really wants to see how beautiful she is. ”

In this time and space, Yu Ji's beauty is famous all over the world, and Zhao Xie is also curious, wanting to see how high Yu Ji's appearance is.

Zhao Xie said: "No matter what the world thinks, in my mind, you are the most beautiful woman in the world!" ”

In the dormitory, the husband and wife were sweet and affectionate, and the lights were quickly extinguished......

Qi country, the national capital Linzi.

After He Yan set off from Xiangguo, he rushed to Qi State non-stop.

He was appreciated by the king, and he had to go all out to do a good job, even if it was raining, he still wore rain gear and walked, rain or shine, in order to meet the king of Qi and Tian Heng as soon as possible, and the sooner he negotiated, the more beneficial it would be to Zhao Guo.

During the Chu and Han dynasties, although there were not many contacts, they both stood up against Xiang Yu last year, and Qi Wang Tian Guang and Qi Xiang Tian Heng had a certain good impression of Zhao State.

When He Yan arrived in Linzi, he was soon received by the two.

In the Linzi Palace, He Yan met Tian Guang and Tian Heng.

"Zhao State envoy He Xian, meet the King of Qi and Qi Xiang!"

He Xian bowed.

Tian Guang and Tian Heng also returned the courtesy.
