Chapter 333: The Land of Jixi (Part II)
When Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, heard King Zhao ask about the land of Jixi, he was shocked! After the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi that year, Zhao seized the rich Hejian land of Qi, while Qin only symbolically captured several cities in Jixi! Later, the Qin State repeatedly seized the western part of the Zhao State, and in order to alleviate the pressure of the decreasing territory, the Zhao State directly plundered the Qin State in the enclave of the Qi State!
Therefore, the land of Jixi in Zhang Xiao's mouth, after the efforts of the first king, is now all for the territory of Zhao State! Thinking of this, Pingyuan Jun looked at Zhang Xiao and asked, "Your Majesty, why did you ask about the land of Jixi?" ”
Zhang Xiao looked at Ping Yuanjun with a look of surprise on his face, and hurriedly said, "Haha, Uncle Wang, please take a seat!" The widow recently heard that Yu Qing said that he went to the land of Jixi, and he was idle here today, and he was asking a question! ”
Pingyuan Jun listened to King Zhao's words, and sat close to Zhang Xiao and said: "The land of Jixi, except for the fiefdom of the Marquis of Qin, the rest should all fall into the hands of Zhao State!" ”
After Zhang Xiao heard Pingyuanjun's words, he said with a little joy on his face: "That's good, that's good!" ”
Listening to the tone of Zhang Xiao's words, Ping Yuanjun knew that he was not as indifferent as he said! The king must have an idea for this! However, the land of Jixi is now sparsely populated, and I wonder what the king wants to do about it.
Pingyuan Jun: "Your Majesty, although Jixi Taoqiu has not entered my hands!" But not to be underestimated, Taoqiu geography is extremely important...... "Taoqiu" chokes, Ji Zhizhi, according to Huai, Xu, Ning, Wei, Yan, Zhao Zhizhi, has always been the Central Plains region of the famous water and land transportation center, economic metropolis and military strategic place, enjoy the reputation of "in the world".

Zhang Xiao listened to Pingyuanjun's persuasion, and asked directly: "Uncle Wang, when you ask about the land of Jixi today, the widow is asking about something!" I have heard that the land of Jixi is a land of anointing, why did I become a barren land after the country of Zhao obtained it, and there was no harvest! ”
Since the land of Jixi was won by Zhao Guo, it has become a hot potato, and it has been indebted again and again, which has made many ministers who originally won this place speechless! Therefore, now after facing King Zhao's questioning, Pingyuan Jun can't tell the reason for a while!
After thinking about it carefully, Pingyuan Jun had no choice but to avoid the important and replied lightly: "Your Majesty, since the land of Jixi was taken, the original residents of Qi have fled to the Qi country, and the first king has repeatedly sent the people of Zhao to go, often sending them over, but within a few days, they have fled back, and after a long time, the land of Jixi has become today's situation!" ”
Zhang Xiao: "Uncle Wang, when the widow asks about the land of Jixi, he wants to imitate the land of Longxi of Qin State, and wants to make Jixi the granary of Zhao State!" ”
After Zhang Xiao asked like this, he originally thought that Pingyuanjun would be able to agree with his idea! Who would have thought that as soon as his words came out, Pingyuan Jun immediately stood up and pointed out: "Your Majesty, no!" ”
Pingyuan Jun's resolute attitude was beyond Zhang Xiao's expectations, and he looked at him puzzled and asked: "The land of Jixi is as fertile as the land of Jinyang and Handan, why is Uncle Wang so bluntly refused?" ”
In the face of Zhang Xiao's questioning, Pingyuan Jun did not explain directly, but asked in a hurry: "When the king first ascended the throne, what does the king think of Zhao and Qin?" ”
Which is better or worse, Zhang Xiao understands it in her heart! He didn't hide it, and replied directly: "Although Zhao is sheng, he is far inferior to Qin!" ”
Pingyuan Jun: "Your Majesty, Zhao Zi is inferior to the Qin State!" But in the face of Qin's repeated provocations, Qin did not gain much benefit! He also, it is nothing more than a combination of connivance against Qin! In the land of Jixi today, the king wanted to send people to clean it up, but it didn't work for several years! Why don't you return the country of Qi and form a good country? ”
Zhang Xiao listened to Pingyuan Jun's words, and immediately said with his eyebrows tightened: "The land of the Five Kingdoms has been conquered by the West of Jixi, and it has now been twenty years!" If the widow returns for no reason, isn't it a lack of national strength! ”
King Zhao's words were immediately persuaded by the king of the plains: "Your Majesty, the minister heard that the Yan Kingdom is in turmoil in the realm of Daidi!" Yan Qi has always had a grudge, and we took the land of Jixi as a reward, just to retreat from Yan, killing two birds with one stone, what is the king's intention? ”
The land of Jixi, for Zhang Xiao, and even for the entire Zhao State's military general group, is a place that cannot be easily given up! Cut five cities today, cut ten cities tomorrow, and then sleep peacefully. Raising tigers is a problem! What's more, it is easy to cut the city, but after the cession, what face does he have to face the trust of King Huiwen?
Therefore, no matter what the starting point of the Plains-kun is. After Zhang Xiao heard this, he shook his head lightly and refused: "Uncle Wang, although the land of Jixi is like chicken ribs, the food is tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it!" But that is my great Zhao soldiers sacrificing their lives, and the widow will never give it away! In the memory of the widows, the country of Wu Zhao only had the defeat and did not say that the city was cut! ”
After facing Zhang Xiao's statement, Pingyuan Jun pondered for a moment before saying: "The king's words are better understood!" ”
In any case, Pingyuan Jun's words are just suggestions for King Zhao, in the era of monarchical centralization, everything is transferred by the will of the king!
The words of the courtiers are often just a beacon of the king's behavior! Minister Pei Ju was originally a favorite minister of Emperor Yang of Sui, because Emperor Yang of Sui brutally refused to admonish, he was flattered everywhere, and also sent an expedition to Goryeo for Emperor Yang of Sui and other ideas that brought disaster to the country and the people. But in the Zhenguan period, it was the same Pei Ju, but he was able to have the courage to fight, and he became a minister of the Tang Dynasty from a minister of the Sui Dynasty, and he was judged like two people before and after.
Therefore, in the face of King Zhao's direct refusal, Pingyuan Jun was also smart and silent, and did not speak in that direction! And Zhang Xiao looked at Pingyuan Jun directly after speaking: "Uncle Wang, although the land of Jixi has been barren for a long time, the widow believes that as long as he orders people to be sent away, after a long time, it will become a big granary of Zhao State!" ”
Although Zhang Xiao was relieved of his intentions, in the face of the king's intentions, Pingyuan Jun still asked with the duty of his courtiers: "I don't know what the king's plan is?" Where do you want to send the inhabitants to the land of Jixi? ”
Zhang Xiao: "Uncle Wang, this is exactly the dilemma of the widow!" The first king repeatedly sent the people away, often in vain! Therefore, the widow wondered if there was any other good way to make the people he sent settle down in peace! ”
When Pingyuan Jun listened to King Zhao's words, his eyes turned slightly, and he kept thinking about King Zhao's intentions, not sending the original free people away? Isn't it that King Zhao wants to emulate a generation of male lords, King Wuling, and flood the inhabitants of Jixi by freeing slaves?
