Zhong Liyang said: "If Zhao can send troops to help, the people of Yan will be grateful to Zhao Guo." At the time of the establishment of the Yan King, Zhao Guo could put forward the conditions. ”

He explained: "If you agree to one condition, King Zhao will be willing to send troops. ”

Zhong Liyang asked anxiously, "What are the conditions?" ”

He explained: "At the beginning of last year, Xiang Yu divided the princes with the attitude of the overlord of the world, and all countries were his vassal states. If Yan submits to Zhao and pays tribute every year in the future, he will definitely be able to send troops to King Zhao. ”

If Zhao Guo wants to help, if he does not put forward suitable conditions, it will seem abnormal.

Zhong Liyang frowned, if this is the case, how can the dignity of the Yan State exist, even during the Zhou Dynasty, the Yan State has never paid tribute to the powerful Qin State.

Seeing that the other party had not yet "opened his mind", He Yan further said: "Zang Di is not supported by the people of Yan Kingdom, but is sealed by Xiang Yu, isn't he also subordinated to Xiang Yu?" ”

That's it! As long as he can avenge the old Yan King, it is worth paying this price, Zhong Liyang quickly figured this out and said: "As long as Zhao Guo can send troops to help, I will try my best to persuade when choosing a new monarch in the future." ”

He Yan further said: "General Zhongli, have you ever thought that you will be the king of Yan by yourself? ”

When Zhong Liyang heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said modestly: "No, no, no, I am a subject of Yan Kingdom, how can I be the king of Yan." After getting rid of Zang Di, another meritocracy will be selected. ”

He had never thought of this, nor did he have this ambition.

"Brother He, I have to contact Zhao Guo, I, Zhong Liyang and the people of Yan Kingdom, will be grateful to you as a great benefactor!"

As he spoke, Zhong Liyang stood up and bowed to He.

"Brother Zhongli, don't worry, I will definitely do it!"

He Xi also returned the salute with a long bow.

Doing so is tantamount to using and deceiving Zhong Liyang, and He Xian feels a little guilty in his heart. However, serving the king above all else had to do so.

That night, Zhong Liyang left He Xian behind and stayed overnight at his house.

It was freezing cold, and He Xian, who was lying in the warm quilt, was excited, and after more than half a month of hard work, he finally won someone who could be used as an internal response.

The next day, a man went out of the city through the gate of Zhong Liyang, who was an attendant of He Xian, and went south to Zhao to report the news.

——————

Zhao Xie is still busy every day, because he has to personally take charge of the household department, and he spends the most time in this area.

During this period of time, some officials have been working actively, and Zhao Xie felt that he could be promoted appropriately, and appointed the household squire to take charge of the household department, so that he could take a break.

On the whole, Zhang Xing, a member of the Household Division, performed the most prominently, and one day in mid-December, Zhao Xie officially appointed him as the Household Attendant.

During the Warring States Period, the seven countries minted and issued their own currencies, Qin Shi Huang unified the world, unified currency and weights and measures, and now, the vassal states also use the Qin State half a tael coin, and they have not had time to issue coins independently.

Zhao Xie decided that after seizing the Yan Kingdom, he began to issue currency independently.

"King, news from Yan Kingdom!"

Zhao Xie, who was processing official documents in the study, received a report from the eunuch Ling Li, and there was news from He Xian, so there should be progress.

The entourage who went to Yan Kingdom with He Xian was selected by Zhao Xie to ensure that there was absolutely no problem, and this entourage was brought into the study.

After the man bowed, he presented the paper letter that He had written.

Zhao Xie opened the letter and browsed it, his face was happy, and he praised He Xian for doing a good job in his heart, as for what Zhong Liyang had and for what purpose he was willing to do internal response, this is not the point, as long as he can ensure that Jicheng is captured quickly, the rest will be talked about later.

After reading it, Zhao Xie ordered to summon Li Zuoche.

The land of Yanzhao, the north is roaring, this is the coldest time of the year.

In the dark night, the door of the study room of King Xiang's palace was brightly lit, the door was closed, and there were only two people in the room, King Zhao and Taiwei, discussing important and confidential matters.

Li Zuoche, who entered the palace to meet him, saw that King Zhao was in a good mood, and said: "King, what is the happy event that makes you feel good!" ”

Zhao Xie sent the letter to Li Zuoche.

Li Zuoche was even more overjoyed after passing his eyes, and said excitedly: "He Xian has done a good job, congratulations to my king for winning this thousand miles." Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, and the country of Yan is just around the corner. ”

Zhao Xie said: "The weather is so cold, and Lao Aiqing is going to lead the army to fight again!" ”

Li left lane: "Cold weather is more beneficial to our army. Now that the Yishui River has frozen, the cavalry can walk on the river, and when the soldiers are in Jicheng, they can directly step across the moat and rush into the city. ”

Zhao Xie felt reasonable, and then discussed the specific details with Li Zuoche.

All the details are around one principle: to solve the Yanwang Zang Di as quickly as possible.

Li Zuoche's plan was that after the cavalry rushed into the city, they rushed directly to the palace, and tried to avoid fighting with other Yan troops along the way, first take Zang Di, and try to let him order the army to surrender, even if Zang Di did not obey, the people had fallen into the hands of the Zhao army, and the Yan State had no leader, plus the internal people's hearts and the army's morale was unstable, it was not difficult to solve.

Half an hour later, the two agreed on the details.

Li Zuoche said again: "I don't know what the situation is in Saibei, but I hope I will have time to send an envoy to Donghu." ”

He is not a pure soldier, he has a big picture and considers the overall situation.

Zhao Xie said: "This is the second thing I want to discuss with you. In the city of Xiangguo, there must be spies from the Han Kingdom, but there is no intelligence agency in our Zhao Kingdom. After the Yan Kingdom is settled, I plan to select a group of people with this talent in the whole army to cultivate, and this department will be named 'Jinyiwei'. I want Zhao Guo's eyeliner to spread all over the world. ”

When it comes to intelligence work, Zhao Xie has a good theoretical knowledge, and in modern times, he has studied in detail the well-known intelligence agencies such as Jinyiwei, the Military Command, and the Special High-tech Branch. The relevant knowledge learned in modern times can be reasonably used for reference and appropriate application in this era.

When it comes to intelligence spies closest to this point in time, the most famous is Liu Ling, the daughter of King Huainan during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who was very good at espionage. He did not hesitate to sell his body, made extensive friends with important ministers in the court, and spied out a lot of confidential information, causing a lot of trouble for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

The intelligence agency that Zhao Xie wants to establish will not only have men, but also train female spies, and women have an innate advantage in this regard.

People's knowledge and abilities are not innate, but are the result of acquired efforts. By selecting people with good talent in this area and training them in an appropriate way, Zhao Xie believes that he will be able to train a group of outstanding intelligence officers.

The king actually knows how to cultivate intelligence spies, Li Zuoche is even more happy, but there is no great surprise, in the past, King Zhao brought too many surprises, with the help of Haotian God, everything is possible.

After Li Zuoche went back, Zhao Xie wrote a reply letter to He Xian, asking him to discuss the specific details of cooperation with Zhong Liyang to ensure that no accidents would happen at that time.
