Chapter 812: The world is temporarily at peace
Zhang Lu sent the news of King Qi's return gift and Wei's land reparation to the Xuanzheng Palace, and Qin Wang Yan put it down after a cursory glance, and now the territory of your Wei State is no longer as vast as it was when it was hegemonic, and only four counties remain.
At this time, when he was able to cede the fifteen cities of the Qin State, it was already the greatest "sincerity".
Qin Wangyan waved his hand, the fifteen cities ceded by Wei were all in the northwest of Shangdang, bordering Lao Qin, and the Shangdang County in South Korea was also handed over to Lao Qin to set up counties to govern, so he simply handed over these fifteen cities to Lao Qin and Shangdang County to govern.
If it was Qin's attack on Wei, it was not a weak and small national war, and the Wei State was able to survive, and the old Wei King in Daliang City, who was originally frightened and frightened, also calmed down the increasingly rapid gasp, and his complexion gradually returned to ruddy, not as if he could kick his legs at any time like before.
As for the Qi State, after the Yan League's war against Qi was carved up and the wealth of the territory was emptied, now although the Jimo Army led by Tian Tan has recovered the lost land and recovered Linzi, it has already swept away all the hundreds of years of accumulation of the Qi State, and now it is difficult to become a climate.
As for the Yan Kingdom, although it is more than 2,000 miles to open up the land of Liaodong, but it is the land of Donghu, the population is sparse, and some are even uncivilized lands, the most important thing is that this generation of Yan King is by no means like the virtuous and Qingming of Yan Xianwang, and the situation in just a few years is to appoint the Qingming Yan Court of Yan Xianwang to be small, making it a miasma, and the talents are scattered, and the climate is not formed.
As for the rest of the Wei and Lu countries, although the country name is still there, all the fiefdoms were divided by the foreign powers, so they had to keep the national capital and worship the whole sect.
Qin Wangyan's gaze swept from the map of the countries one by one, after all, it fell on the territory of Zhao State, this map has been seen, the northern part of Zhao State is a long and vast territory, from Linhu and Loufu Jiuyuan County in the west, to Dai County in the east, during which 1,200 miles, it is the father of the first king of Zhao State who laid the foundation for watching the Central Plains.
And now the king of Zhao He moved the capital to Handan, and five or six out of ten of Zhao's troops watched the land of the Central Plains, and in response to the general trend of the world, he took advantage of the Yan League's invasion of Qi to swallow the northwest of Qi and captured Jibei County and Julu County, and then encroached on Wei State, and captured the southern part of Handan County and the northern part of Weiguo.
Looking at the territory of the Zhao State today, the strong foundation in the north is like a wide sword hilt, and the Zhao King He moved the capital to Handan like an incomparably sharp knife inserted in the heart of the Central Plains, using the greatest strength to absorb the essence and blood of the Central Plains countries to nourish his body.
Zhao Guo...... Fang is the enemy of Gu Daqin! ”
Zhang Lu was cleaning up the various documents on the table, when he suddenly heard Qin Wangyan's sigh, and raised his head slightly to see that Qin Wangyan had already stood up and walked outside the hall unconsciously.
Zhang Lu's mind turned, although he is now worshipping the right prime minister, he was steadily pressed by Fan Li, especially Fan Li is not as good as Han Kui, Ming Zifu and others, and his age is about the same, which always makes Zhang Lu feel that he has always been pressed on the top of his head, and he can't see the day.
Hearing Qin Wangyan say this, Zhang Lu put down the paperwork in his hand, and hurriedly followed out, following behind Qin Wangyan.
Qin Wangyan also noticed that Zhang Lu was chasing, the biggest difference between this Zhang Lu and Fan Li was that he was too able to understand his own thoughts, and he was able to come up with appropriate countermeasures.
I only heard Zhang Lu bow down slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a strategy to break Zhao!" ”
Seeing Qin Wangyan turn his head, Zhang Lu said again: "Luoyang and Handan are thousands of miles apart, and they are even more involved in the Qi and Wei countries. ”
Qin Wangyan frowned slightly, looked at Zhang Lu and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Zhang Lu said directly: "Weichen is suggestion, with the old Qin soldiers and horses as the main force, to capture the four counties of Jiuyuan, Yunzhong, Yanmen and Taiyuan west of Jinyang of Zhao State, Zhao State since Hufu cavalry shooting, the national strength is accumulating day by day, it is not a battle that can be determined, only after the overall situation of Xu Xutu, it is only in one fell swoop!" ”
As he spoke, Zhang Lu bowed his hand to Qin Wangyan and said, "Your Majesty, now that the matter of attacking Chu has been completed, Weichen is willing to go to Lao Qin to assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and agree on the matter of plotting Zhao." ”
It seemed that he had seen through Zhang Lu's attempt, Qin Wangyan looked back at Zhang Lu, and his deep eyes made Zhang Lu tremble, even though he knew that this king was definitely not killing the monarch indiscriminately, but Zhang Lu was actually afraid.
Zhang Lu is indeed planning for himself, I am afraid that it is not only Zhang Lu himself, but any clear-eyed person can see that although Zhang Lu is a minister of the hidden mansion who has followed the king for nearly thirty years and tried his best to plan, but Qin Wangyan's reliance on Zhang Lu is far inferior to his reliance on the country's prime minister!
Zhang Lu was unwilling to accept such a situation, so he had to find another way, so he naturally looked at the prince.
Qin Wangyan weighed it slightly, and nodded in response, then smiled, and asked Fan Likou, "Do you know why Gu agreed to you." ”
"The king thinks deeply, how can Weichen guess, don't dare to ......speculate without permission," Zhang Lu said, after three or four breaths, he pretended to smile lightly: "But come to think of it, even though the prince government on Lao Qin's side has the means to restrain the power of all parties, after all, it is missing the three-point help from Luoyang's side." ”
"Hehe......" Qin Wangyan also laughed twice, took his eyes off Zhang Lu's body, looked at the sky above Luoyang, and finally said slowly: "Whether it is to balance the power of all parties in Lao Qin, or to plot against Zhao, the prince is a lonely prince after all, if only one old Qin is not well coordinated, I am afraid that the burden of this Great Qin will be able to crush him!" ”
Zhang Lu thought about it, Fang Cai felt that Qin Wangyan's words had another deep meaning, and after thinking about it carefully, I am afraid that the king's words are beating himself, even if he knows that he has the intention of being a minister of the prince's palace, he will not worry that he will influence the prince's thoughts, this is Qin Wangyan's trust in the prince of Qin!
If so, after Zhang Lu thought it through, he answered honestly and didn't dare to say anything else.
After a long time, Fang Cai listened to Qin Wangyan withdraw his gaze again, and said calmly: "Since you have a heart, you should go, seek to seize the Zhao country, Lao Qin's side needs to mobilize troops and horses, and the supply of grain and grass will be okay with the prince's outspokenness, what is the matter, you don't have to send a secret letter to Luoyang, and the matter of killing Zhao will be handed over to Zheng'er, he has never experienced the bloody things on the battlefield, and today look at the tragic scene of the war in the world, so as to stabilize the prince's mind." ”
"Whoa!" Zhang Lu thought to himself that he was afraid that he was also a touchstone for paving the way for the prince's government in Qin Wangyan's mind, and he was also a little relieved at the moment, so he hurriedly responded. I want to talk about "The Rise of Xiongqin" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
