Chapter 161: Gathering Intelligence

"That's what most people think?". Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Wuming didn't expect that people in the world would have such thoughts at this time. You must know that Qi Guo is using Sun Bin as his military advisor this time. When I thought of this, I suddenly realized. How many people know Sun Bin today? . They refer to the history of various countries and come to the conclusion that Wei is more dominant, so it is not surprising that they have this idea.

Xing Pingjun looked at Zhao Wuming, feeling that it was because he was too young. That's why it was recklessly inferred that the Qi State would win a big victory in this battle, but at this time, the Wei State had a greater chance of winning.

Zhao Wuming looked at Xingpingjun's gaze, thought of a question, and asked him again: "Dare to ask uncle, once Wei State wins, what kind of situation will Zhao State and Korea face."

"Six Kingdoms Attack Wei". Xingpingjun blurted out without thinking.

Zhao Wuming was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a situation to occur at all: "Why is it the Six Kingdoms Attack Wei?"

"Once the Qi State is defeated, there is no country in the world that can balance the Wei State. At that time, the other six countries were all weak, and only the alliance of the six countries could survive if they attacked Wei." Xing Pingjun explained to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming pondered in his heart, feeling that such a situation was indeed possible. According to historical records, the Six Kingdoms Attack on Qi and the Six Kingdoms on Qin appeared under such circumstances.

Seeing Zhao Wuming pondering, Xingping Jun continued to analyze him: "If the six countries do not form an alliance, the Wei State will definitely annex the remaining six countries one by one. Therefore, the six kingdoms of Qi, Yan, Chu, Han, Qin, and Zhao had to unite to weaken Wei."

"Once the Six Kingdoms attack Wei, what does Uncle feel will be the result?" Zhao Wuming asked Xing Pingjun again.

Xingping Jun did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought, obviously this question is not so easy to explain: "Wei will be defeated with one enemy and six enemies, and at the same time, Qin will take the opportunity to seize Hexi and Shangjun, and rise together with Qi. At that time, Korea and Zhao could survive, and Chu could rest assured."

In this way, the Wei state was weakened. If the land of the Three Jin Dynasty loses its barrier, will the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, and Han become Qi and Qin and attack each other's pawns? “。 Zhao Wuming thought of the record of the late Warring States period in another time and space where he was, and asked Xingping Jun.

Xingpingjun was silent, and looked at Zhao Wuming for a long time, his eyes were full of perseverance: "If it comes to that point, I don't know if Wei and Korea will become pawns of Qi and Qin." After speaking, he paused: "But I only know that our people from Zhao Kingdom are full of blood and bravery. Once the sky does not let us live, we will dare to fight with the sky. What's more, the State of Qi and the State of Qin, these ordinary people."

"Isn't there a way out of the crisis?" Zhao Wuming was shocked when he heard Xingping Jun's words, and subconsciously asked.

Xingpingjun thought about it again, and seemed to think of something for a long time: "If we can annex Zhongshan State, my Zhao State will be able to jump up and sit on an equal footing with Qi and Qin."

"Zhongshan Country?". When Zhao Wuming heard this name again, he couldn't help but have a hint of enlightenment in his heart. Maybe if Zhongshan State is not destroyed, Zhao State will not be able to garrison troops in the north. Then he can't form an alliance with Yan State, and he can't do his best to send troops to Donghu.

Xingpingjun thought of the difficulty inside, and couldn't help but sigh: "Difficult, the strength of Zhongshan is not inferior to the strength of our country before it lost Handan." At this time, wanting to annex Zhongshan is no less than a fool's dream."

"Whether it's a dream or not, but there is some hope in the end, and it's still good." In Zhao Wuming's mind, he deepened the image of Zhongshan again.

Xingpingjun's gaze inadvertently scanned the tent, and suddenly smiled: "I'm old, how can I just tell you something inconsequential." It's getting late at this time, so I'd better go back first to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Uncle is leaving?". Zhao Wuming also reacted when he heard Xing Pingjun's laughter, and hurriedly asked him.

Xing Pingjun nodded slowly.

"Since my uncle insists on leaving, it is inconvenient for the younger generations to stay." Zhao Wuming thought for a while, thinking that that day in the Xindu Palace, Zhao Chong's attitude was not to stay: "Uncle, please."

Xing Pingjun turned around and walked out of the tent, and Zhao Wuming followed.

Zhao Chuan and Zhao Jia took the carriage and stood outside the tent at some point. When Zhao Chuan saw Xingpingjun coming out, he hurriedly opened the door of the carriage and helped Xingpingjun get into the car.

After Zhao Jia saw Zhao Chuan helping Xingpingjun in, he bowed to Zhao Wuming: "Fourth son, he will meet again in the future."

"Walk slowly, please take care of Xingpingjun." Zhao Wuming returned the salute to Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia smiled: "Xingpingjun is my grandfather, as a grandson to take care of his grandfather, that is a matter of course."

Zhao Wuming smiled and didn't speak. Zhao Jia turned around and walked into the carriage, and the coachman saw that the three of them were sitting inside, and waved his horsewhip. The carriage galloped out of the camp.

Watching the carriage drift away, Zhao Wuming's gaze turned to Sun Buer: "Lone wants to go back to Seoul, you are optimistic here, no matter who comes, don't let him into the tent."

"No". Although he didn't understand why Zhao Wuming gave such a solemn order, Sun Buer still bowed down to receive the order.

Zhao Wuming saw that Sun Buji received the order, and turned around and walked towards the tent with satisfaction.

As soon as the thought moved, the light door slowly opened. Zhao Wuming took the bamboo slip and walked slowly inside.

In the government affairs hall of Seoul and the city lord's mansion, Zhao Wuming put the bamboo slip in his hand on the desk and shouted outside: "Someone."

"Subordinates are in". Two guards who were guarding the outside walked in and bowed to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming's eyes looked at the two of them, and he directly ordered them: "Tell the prime minister, generals, military advisors and others to come and discuss government affairs."

"No". The two guards bowed down to receive the order, then turned and walked outside.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came, Xiao He, Han Xin, Zhang Liang and others rushed in, and when they saw Zhao Wuming, they bowed and saluted: "See the lord."

"During this period of loneliness, I have to worry about you, but I don't know if my Seoul is going well during this time." Zhao Wuming's gaze looked at Xiao He and the others, and asked them.

Xiao He saluted Zhao Wuming and bowed down to reply: "During the period when the lord was away, I was building a lot of construction in Seoul to explore the terrain. Among the four counties in the southeast, northwest and northwest, the county seats, county seats, and passes have been planned. Now all kinds of materials, food, and manpower are all in order. The minister ordered Yu Wenkai to go to inspect and do the final audit, so he was unable to come."

"The army is still in the process of reorganization, counting the battle damage, eliminating the disabled, recruiting young and strong, and training sergeants. Therefore, it has not been ascertained in detail how many troops our Seoul troops are at this time." Han Xin took Xiao He's words and told Zhao Wuming about military matters: "Danchen can roughly calculate that the servant army plus the regular army in the city has a strength of about 600,000."

"600,000 troops". Zhao Wuming sketched the scene of the 600,000 army gathering in his mind, and his breathing couldn't help but be a little short. Zhao Yan's Anyang soldiers were only 200,000, and Zhao Fan's Daijun soldiers and horses were only 400,000. The total strength of the two can compete with him, and if he can overwhelm the realm with a large army, I am afraid it will be wonderful.

Shen Wansan saw that Xiao He and Han Xin finished speaking, took the words of the two, and reported to Zhao Wuming: "When the lord left, he ordered the ministers to rectify the market, and it has now begun to bear fruit."

"Tell me about it". Shen Wansan's words interrupted Zhao Wuming's thoughts, and then looked at Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansan thought for a while, and organized the following words in his heart: "Now that taxes have been unified into copper coins, the act of bartering has been banned, and copper coins are unimpeded within the sphere of influence of my Seoul. Favorable conditions are provided for commercial activities in the city. At the same time, the prime minister issued a decree on the fate of the prime minister's office, encouraging the construction of new workshops and encouraging the people to do business. There are many wealthy families in the city who have fled and come to have nothing to do, after hearing the decree of the Prime Minister's government. They have invested in the construction of workshops and caravans. According to the statistics of the ministers, during the period of the lord's absence, hundreds of workshops and 1,000 caravans were built."

"Caravan?". Zhao Wuming suddenly thought of Nie Qiu and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Shen Wansan explained to Zhao Wuming: "There are hundreds of people in large caravans, and more than a dozen people in small caravans."

"If you see someone coming with a guard sword, you should inform Yu Gu immediately." Zhao Wuming commanded Shen Wansan and the others.

Shen Wansan and the others bowed: "No."

"Did the lord give the sword of the guards to others?" Zhang Liang asked Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming nodded slowly, and explained Nie Qiu's matter to a few people: "Some time ago, I was alone in Zhao Guoxin's ...... of hunting."

Listening to Zhao Wuming's slow narration of the events of that day's safari, Zhang Liang and the others gradually fell into deep thought.

After Zhao Wuming finished saying the matter, a cloud of anger rose in Huo Quzhi's heart, but he immediately calmed down when he thought of the situation he was facing at this time: "The lord is so dangerous in Zhao State, it seems that I should need to speed up the pace of going south."

"Pick up the pace? The lord is already in danger in Zhao Kingdom, and how can he have time to wait for you to arrange it calmly. I suggested that at this time, we should gather a large army and go south with all our might. After Lou Fu was destroyed, the army gathered on the northern border of Zhao State. If the lord loses a single hair in Zhao State, we will take away the county of Tadai, break the capital of Thaksin, and besiege Handan, so that they can taste the pain of ten thousand arrows piercing their hearts." Fan Xu's fiery temper came up, where could he wait for many arrangements, and he couldn't wait to immediately raise troops to the south to avenge Zhao Wuming.

Chen Ping looked at what Fan Xu said happily, smiled at him and quipped: "General Fan's clever plan is unparalleled, if the lord follows General Fan's words, I am afraid that my Hancheng will be owned by others."

"Chen Ping, you ......". Fan was angry, but there was no way to refute it. After all, none of these four enemies are easy to mess with. If you really go south desperately, once the war does not go well. The Xiongnu, Donghu, Ding Ling and Lin Hu, how could they not take advantage of the situation. At that time, this good situation will be ruined.

Everyone looked at Fan's angry appearance and couldn't help but smile. Zhao Wuming relieved him of the siege: "General Fan is also kind-hearted, although Lone seems to be in danger. But with 30,000 personal guards in hand, they can come to their aid at any time, plus the eldest brother Zhao Yu, the captain Xue Qian, and the incense of the Zhao family. Compared with the power of Zhao Wei and Zhao Fan, it is not inferior to a centimeter. Therefore, General Fan can rest assured, and he will be annoyed by Lou and move depending on the opportunity."

"Lou annoyed?". Zhang Liang listened to Zhao Wuming's words and gradually fell into deep thought. Only by taking down Lou Fu as soon as possible can we support the lord. Only when the crown prince of Zhao ascends to the throne and the troops are stationed in the north to contain Lin Hu, can Hancheng have no distractions, ally Yan State, and fight a decisive battle against Donghu. If not, I am afraid that Seoul will become a dead end, and the strong enemy will not be able to move. Once the Xiongnu or Donghu freed their hands, Hancheng would fall. (To be continued.) )
