Footsteps sounded, and a Hun man walked in and saluted respectfully to Zhao Wuming: "The Hun envoys Lan Shi and Lan Chengde have seen the lord of Hancheng." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The envoy came from afar, and he didn't know whether the nobles were fighting or peace." Zhao Wuming looked directly at Lan Chengde.

Lan Chengde looked at it without showing weakness: "Shan Yu's words, since the lord of Hancheng likes the central grassland, why not give them to them by my clan."

"So the messenger came for peace." A smile flashed across the corner of Zhao Wuming's mouth.

Lan Chengde saluted solemnly to Zhao Wuming: "As long as the lord of Hancheng can return the right virtuous king of our clan and the captured civil and military officials, our clan is willing to agree with Hancheng that they will not offend each other within five years."

"Five years?". Zhao Wuming seemed to feel something from this year.

Seeing Zhao Wuming's expression, Lan Chengde pointed to the east: "Our clan promises not to take the initiative to attack Seoul within five years. Of course, what the Donghu people will do, our clan alone can't be the master."

"Donghu? It seems that you are only good at making calculations. I actually let my city block Donghu for you is soldier." Han Xin instantly heard the meaning of Lan Chengde's words and questioned him.

Lan Chengde couldn't help laughing: "If you are afraid of Donghu in Hancheng, just don't stop it." Even if they annex your Seoul, our people will not be afraid of it."

"The envoy's words are wrong, my Seoul only needs to open up a road and let Donghu lead directly to your Xiongnu. Why bother to be thankless to stop Donghu's troops for you." Xiao He listened to Lan Chengde's laughter and deliberately asked him rhetorically.

Lan Chengde put away his laughter and looked at Xiao He: "Even if you are in Hancheng, let go of a passage for the Donghu army to our clan, what harm will it be to our clan." It's just that I don't know if the Donghu army will attack our clan first, or take the opportunity to swallow your Hancheng first."

"There is no need to take advantage of the words, and the five-year covenant proposed by the nobles is agreed to. The envoy can go to rest first and feel the prosperity of my Seoul. The matter of returning the civil and military officials of the nobles and the right virtuous king will be arranged by the prime minister later." The virtual interface emerges, and a line of handwriting emerges. The battlefield state was lifted, and the relocation order returned to normal. Three hours later, he was forcibly repatriated to the outskirts of Xindu. After reading the handwriting, Zhao Wuming didn't dare to waste too much time, and directly told Lan Chengde his final decision.

Lan Chengde was stunned for a moment, thinking that it would take a lot of words, and even their Lan clan would give Seoul certain benefits. In order to let Hancheng return King Youxian and other civil and military officials, I didn't expect the lord of Hancheng to agree so easily. Thinking of this, for fear that Zhao Wuming would regret it, he hurriedly saluted respectfully: "The foreign minister retires."

"I do not send it". After Zhao Wuming saw Lan Chengde walk out, he looked around at Xiao He, Han Xin and others: "The relocation order will return to normal, and after an hour and a half, the Lone Club will be forced to return to the outskirts of Xindu, and the time is tight to discuss political affairs first."

"No". Xiao He and the others suddenly realized and saluted Zhao Wuming.

Everyone pondered the situation, and Han Xin looked at Zhao Wuming to analyze the situation: "The north is the land of the extreme north, and the Ding Ling clan is entrenched here. Because it is too cold and sparsely populated, our city can be said to be almost invincible on the northern front, and it is enough to send 10,000 troops to build a pass to defend. The west is the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu are strong, although the war with Ding Ling is also agreed to stop fighting with our city, but it is also necessary to guard against it. 50,000 soldiers and horses can be left to garrison for warning. The east is Donghu, and it is the great enemy of our Seoul. Donghu does not get rid of me for a day, and Seoul is uneasy for a day. In view of the great power of Donghu, at this time and the war with Yan, our army can station 100,000 troops on the eastern front. In addition, it is the south, Lin Hu and Lou Fu, and the specific situation has not yet been explored."

"The minister was opposed to the general's proposal." After Han Xin finished speaking, Xiao He immediately objected.

Zhao Wuming looked at Xiao He with a look of surprise: "Could it be that what the general said is wrong?"

"What the general said is good, but it's a pity that he didn't think about things other than the military." After Xiao He finished speaking, he looked at Shen Wansan: "You can tell the lord in detail about my Hancheng and the harvest during this time."

"Lord Qi, our army has captured the Xiongnu and Donghu, and there are countless grains and grasses. If it were all used for marching and fighting, it would support an army of two million for seven years. The minister privately discussed with the prime minister, and after this battle, the Xiongnu's grain and grass on the western front were empty. Donghu's grain and grass baggage on the eastern front also fell into the hands of our city. If they do not allocate food and grass from the rest of the defense, it will take at least three years for the people to recuperate. Therefore, from the material aspect, Donghu and Xiongnu will not be able to attack our Hancheng within three years." Shen Wansan talked eloquently at Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming was shocked after hearing this: "Donghu only hoards grain in the south and west. At this time, the grain and grass baggage on the western front had fallen into my hands, and if Donghu wanted to launch a western expedition immediately, he had to transfer grain from the southern front. It's a pity that Lone heard that Donghu and Yan have a deep blood feud. If Donghu wants to transfer grain from the southern route, I am afraid it will not be easy."

"In this way, Donghu will not pose a threat to our city for at least three years, and the Xiongnu have agreed to a five-year truce with our city. The Ding Ling clan in the extreme north is fighting a decisive battle with the Xiongnu and has no time to take care of it, and our city can find a way to calmly break this crisis within three years." Chen Ping listened to everyone's conversation and summarized and analyzed their words.

Han Xin kept thinking in his heart, and looked at Zhao Wuming for a while: "Lord, it seems that it is enough for our army to defend the northern, western, and eastern fronts to the reserve army."

"Ding Ling on the northern front and the Xiongnu on the western front don't need to think about it at this time, Donghu and Yan are at war, I don't know what the situation is. Therefore, the city should not attack Donghu, so as not to completely anger Donghu. Prompt Donghu and Yan to negotiate peace, so that our city will face the power of the whole clan of Donghu". Zhang Liang paused slightly after speaking, as if organizing words in his heart: "Since this is the case, the north, the west, and the east are indisputable. In the south, Lou Fan and Lin Hu are two countries, which are geographically connected to each other, and our city is completely ignorant of the two countries. A rash move south may unite the two countries."

Zhang Liang thought about it again and proposed to Zhao Wuming: "Lord, since I have so much grain and grass in Seoul, why don't you send someone to find out the news of Lin Hu and Lou Fu?" Taking advantage of the fact that the Ding Ling, Xiongnu, and Donghu tribes have no time to take care of our city, they will expand their territory to the south."

"Expanding the soil to the south?". Zhao Wuming fell into deep thought, listening to Zhang Liang's analysis that it was indeed a good choice to fight south.

Chen Ping seemed to have caught something, and a hint of joy appeared on his face: "Clever plan, it's better to attack Lin Hu than to attack Lou." If you can calm down Lou Fu, you can lead the army south and welcome the return of the lord with the gift of a king. One is to announce our strength to the Central Plains countries, and the other is to quickly strengthen cooperation with the Central Plains countries as the prince of Zhao Guogong. Once Zhao Guotun troops are in the north, Lin Hu will not dare to move. If we take the opportunity to send an envoy to the Yan Kingdom and meet to attack Donghu, then our Hancheng will surely grow again, and the Xiongnu will not be afraid."

"The top priority at the moment is to find out the details of Lou Fu and Lin Hu." When Han Xin heard Chen Ping's analysis, his spirit was shocked, he didn't expect to be able to break the crisis like this.
