Chapter Ninety-One: Pingqi-kun

In the fifteen cities captured by Zhao Jia, there are two high mountains, namely Haoshan Mountain and Shangshen Mountain.

Both mountains are thousands of meters above sea level and are located in the middle of the newly conquered land, almost dividing the land into two halves, north and south.

Among them, Shangshen Mountain is located in the east of Pingzhou, adjacent to Shengshui and the Great Wall, and is an important place to resist the Qin army.

In addition, in the direction of Taiyuan County, the former Zhao Kingdom, there is a continuous mountain range, known as the Huqi Mountain Range.

The Huqi Mountains are located in the southwest of Shaoyang Mountain, and the three cities that Zhao Jiayu deceived the Qin State to cede were located to the east of the Huqi Mountains.

Zhao Guo was able to keep Taiyuan County for so many years, also because of the topography of Shaoyang Mountain and Huqi Mountain Range.

Huqi Mountain and the city near Zhaoyu Qi in the east are collectively called Qidi.

Huqi Mountain is the barrier of the western part of Zhao Kingdom, and Zhaoyuqi is known as one of the nine major lakes.

Prior to this, Zhaoyu Qi was the junction of Qin, Zhao and Han, and this land belonged to Qin, like a fist blasting into the hinterland of Zhao and Han.

At the beginning, the Qin State took this land, not only because of its strategic location, but also because this land was very fertile and was a land for grain production.

It's just that now, this land has been taken back by Zhao Jia.

Of course, Qi land can only represent the southern part of the land seized by Zhao Jia, because there is still a large area of land in the north, and there is a dangerous mountain of Shangshen Mountain as a barrier, Zhao Jia will call this newly seized land the land of Shenqi.

Zhongyang, located in the middle of the land of Shenqi, is bordered by the Huqi Mountains in the east and the Lishi Fortress in the north.

At this time, Zhao Jia was leading his troops in Zhongyang.

"The royal father named me the king of Pingqi, and gave me fiefdom fiefdoms of fiefdom in the land of Shenqi, and ordered me to command 20,000 cavalry and garrison this place to defend the Qin State."

"What do you think about this?"

The sudden canonization did not make Zhao Jia carried away by joy, and his face became a little dignified.

When Fan Zeng and Li Si heard this, after looking at each other, their eyes showed a complicated look of surprise and worry.

Zhao Jia, who was only twenty years old, was named Pingqi Jun and owned fifteen cities as fiefs.

Such an honor, throughout the history of all countries, is unique.

You must know that even Huang Xie, the Chunshenjun who is now in power in the Chu State, was only given twelve cities as fiefs because he followed the Chu King Xiong Wan into Qin for several years, and finally even helped Xiong Wan escape back to China to inherit the throne.

Being crowned a monarch and having a vast fief meant that Zhao Jia would be able to recruit civil and military forces openly and elect troops in the future.

The military and political power in the fifteen cities almost all have Zhao Jia having the final say.

This is equivalent to the fact that Zhao Jia, who was named Pingqi Jun, is already equivalent to a small prince, and almost has completely independent political and military rights.

Although nominally, the land of Shenqi still belongs to the Zhao State, it can be regarded as Zhao Jia's personal territory.

As long as Zhao Jia has the ability to make the people of Shenqi completely return to their hearts, it will be difficult for even King Zhao to point fingers at this land in the future.

Such a reward is not unbelievable, and even a little unbelievable.

Li Si and Fan Zeng, as Zhao Jiamen's guests, saw that the master had this reward, and they were naturally honored.

It's a pity that both Li Si and Fan Zeng are very smart people.

They can also see the potential crisis and the sadness of being used as a pawn from behind the glory.

Now, if you say who Qin hates the most, it is Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia first played with the Qin State in applause, and tricked the Qin State into abandoning Zhao to attack Wei, causing the Wei State to invite Wei Wuji, the great god, and manipulated the feat of the Six Kingdoms to join forces.

Zhao Jia even took advantage of the fact that the Qin State was tired of dealing with the Hezhong army, and led the army to take down the fifteen cities of the Qin State.

The three kingdoms of Chu, Wei, and Han also dared to occupy a large area of Qin when they withdrew their troops because of Zhao Jia's actions.

Zhao Jia's successive feats have completely offended the Qin State, and both the King of Qin and LΓΌ Buwei must have hated Zhao Jia at this time.

Zhao was afraid of the possible retaliation of Qin, and was unwilling to return this land to Qin, so he could only make this decision and seal the entire land of Shenqi to Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia can hold this fiefdom, and Zhao Guo can naturally sit back and relax.

Even if Zhao Jia failed to hold this land in the end, Zhao Guo had enough excuses and space to continue to deal with Qin.

"Have you ever thought about what if the Qin State rises up to seize the land?"

Fan Zeng's face was extremely solemn.

Li Si also said: "Now there are only 20,000 cavalry in the land of Shenqi, and although these 20,000 cavalry are elite troops, it is difficult to stop the army of Qin. ”

"What's more, the land of Shenqi used to be the land of Qin, and the people have obeyed the discipline of the Qin State for many years, and I am afraid it will be difficult to return to their hearts in a short time."

"If Qin raises troops to seize the land, King Zhao may not come to the aid with all his might, at that time, there are people in the territory as the internal response of the Qin army, and the possibility of wanting to hold it is very small!"

"Da, da, da!"

Zhao Jia knelt in front of the desk, the fingers of his right hand unconsciously tapped on the table, but the solemn look on his face gradually faded.

He knew that no one under his command was a fool, and he could see the danger behind the glory.

If even he was afraid of the Qin State at this time, and the Qin State really raised troops to attack in the future, the military under his command would definitely not have the confidence to fight with the Qin State.

Therefore, even if Zhao Jia was worried in his heart, a smile began to gradually appear on his face.

"The soldiers will come to block, and the water will cover the earth."

"If the Qin army doesn't come, if you really dare to come over and seize the land of Shenqi, I have my own good strategy to defeat the enemy, don't worry."

"This son was named Pingqi Jun, which is a great joy, pass on my order to reward the three armies with my private treasury money and grain, and in the future, the salary of the soldiers in the land of Shenqi will be doubled!"

"Not only that, but Ben Gongzi is also going to build a Tianxiang Building in every city in the land of Shenqi, as long as people in the army come to drink and eat, the cost will be halved!"

When the generals heard this, their worries decreased slightly, and then their faces were happy.

Zhao Jia's wealth is well known to Zhao, and the generals have no doubt about the authenticity of his reward for the three armies.

As for the spirits and delicacies in Tianxiang Building, they used to be almost exclusively enjoyed by dignitaries and nobles, and ordinary people couldn't afford to eat them at all.

But now.

Zhao Jia planned to build Tianxiang Towers in every city in the land of Shenqi, and treated all the soldiers at half price.

That means that in the future, all people in the army will have the opportunity to go to Tianxiang Building to consume.

Don't think it's just a trifle.

For ordinary people, going to Tianxianglou to spend money is like the hard working class of later generations, who can live in a five-star presidential suite for one night, which is enough to brag about it for a lifetime.

In this era, there are very few entertainment facilities, and it is definitely a great temptation for ordinary soldiers to go to Tianxianglou to eat the most delicious food and drink the strongest wine in the world.
