Looking at Qiao Hai's unusual demeanor, King Liu's heart became more and more curious, and he asked with a smile: "Why did Aiqing shake her head and sigh." ”

Qiao Hai sank for a moment and said, "Those who betray their friends and abandon their righteousness will inevitably feel uneasy in their hearts. ”

Hearing this sudden words, King Liuwang couldn't help but ask: "How do you say this, Aiqing is ......?"

Qiao Hai said bitterly: "The minister refers to the Zhao State, not the minister is unrighteous, nor the minister is ruthless, but for the long-term plan of the country, I am afraid we have to abandon the Zhao State." ”

King Liu was surprised and said: "Why does Aiqing have this idea, we are ...... with Zhao Guo"

Qiao Hai nodded and said: "What does the king want to say, the ministers know, and the ministers of Dazai and the others are also well aware of the reason, but we can't send out this soldier, in case of bad relations with Yi Guo, the ministers think that this will be a self-defeating move." ”

Liuwang said disapprovingly: "Aiqing is too worried, although the country of Yi has been booming in recent years, but after all, it is only the country of Yuer, the city is only fifty, the land is only three or five hundred miles, compared with the Zhao country, it is not as good as eleven, only because the four sides of the Zhao country are fighting to suffer from it, once the hands are freed, the destruction is easy, and the smooth is like a palm, so why be afraid." ”

Qiao Hai's face became very ugly when he heard this, and he got up and said: "The king's words make the ministers panic, if you insist on this, it will be difficult to stay in the country for ten years." ”

Seeing him like this, King Liuliu hurriedly walked over to help him up, and said, "Aiqing doesn't have to be like this, if you have any high opinions, please speak up, and the widow listens attentively." ”

Qiao Hai's move was to make the king pay attention to it, and after entering the table again, he said with a serious face: "The king really thinks that Zhao Guo can easily destroy Yi Guo without the worries of all parties. ”

King Liu nodded and said: "Isn't it, although He Junshi is a genius of the world, and the widow is also very admired, but after all, Yi Guo's national strength is weak, and it cannot be compared with Zhao Guo. ”

Qiao Hai slowly shook his head and said: "Thousands of miles away, we have always known very little about the Yi Kingdom, and the minister recently got the news from Xizuo that shocked the minister, and the minister asked him to tell the king a thing or two." ”

"You arranged for the details." It is reasonable for the king to ask this question, because the fine work sent to Yi Guo was directly reported to him, since Qiao Hai said so, it must be that he sent fine work to Yi Guo alone.

Qiao Hai nodded and said: "We have paid too little attention to Yi Guo, since Yi Guo has taken down more than 30 cities in Shun Guo, the Houchen has been vigilant in his heart, so he sent a few capable people to infiltrate Yi Guo." ”

King Liu praised: "Aiqing has worked hard for the country, and it is a blessing to have a good minister like you, what news did they find out." ”

Qiao Hai pondered for a moment and said: "Let's generalize with the ministers, and talk about the material resources and military strength that the king just mentioned. ”

"Okay." The king leaned over slightly, with a focused demeanor,

"The king said that the land of Yi is only three or five hundred miles, and the minister thinks that its land is far more than a thousand miles, and the country of Xiang and Qi are both its subject countries, and it is always good to count their land into the country of Yi."

"The geographical geometry of Xiangguo and Qi is not very detailed to the widows." Even the affairs of Yi Guo are rarely known, and he knows even less about Xiang and Qi countries.

"Xiangguo is probably thousands of miles wide, and Qi is not big, one or two hundred miles."

"Oh......" King Liu's expression became solemn, and then he shook his head and said: "With a country of three or five hundred miles to control a country of thousands of miles, this He Junshi is really capable." ”

"If the king thinks that the Yi kingdom is incapable of fully controlling these two subject states, he is mistaken." Qiao Hai heard the voice of the king's words,

King Liu, smiled, and said: "If it were someone else, the widow might have this concern, but this He Junshi would not dare to doubt what the widow did, and Aiqing said so, I think there is a basis." ”

Qiao Hai didn't answer immediately, but said to the courtiers on the side: "Please take a hard trip, go to the palace gate and my car driver, and ask the chief of the guard to take out the brocade box in the car." ”

The courtier was also familiar with Qiaohai, and nodded and went.

Qiao Hai then turned to the king and said: "This is about to mention the troops, the king thinks that Yi Guo has armor." ”

King Liuwang thought for a moment and said, "Say more than that...... There are 30,000 or 50,000 of them. ”

Qiao Hai smiled, "No less than sixty thousand." ”

"There are so many, how many people are there in his country." The king of Liu's little disbelief,

Qiao Hai said in an accentuated tone: "Sixty thousand elites, we only have forty thousand, I am not increasing its sharpness, with our 40,000 horses and horses in a dignified battle, Yi Guo's soldiers 30,000 are enough to win, and their training is so good that no one can beat it in the world." ”

King Liuwang took a breath and asked in disbelief: "Really, can they afford to raise so many soldiers?" "When it comes to the elite, it is the one who waits for war all year round and does not do anything, which is different from the army that is requisitioned in wartime.

Qiao Hai sighed fearlessly, and said: "The minister is still to say less, according to the detailed words, the guards of the city are also extremely well trained, and there is not much difference from the method of elite training, out of the ability to fight, what is lacking is only the experience of fighting, such people and horses are elite soldiers in a few battles, as for the cost of raising soldiers, hehe, the king should know the new policy promoted by He Junshi, these soldiers have no military salary, and they are in the army in exchange for the freedom of their families, so these people have no advance or retreat when they start a war, because once they are returned from the armyNot only did the family lose their faded interests, but in just a few years, Yimin had a consensus that it was honorable to fight and die for the country and the family, and those who were afraid of war and death would not be tolerated in the township even if they returned, and this kind of atmosphere was the most frightening. ”

"The New Deal." When the king said these two words, he could not hide his disgust,

"It's this new deal, alas, He Junshi is not only a soldier of the family, but also has other means to govern the country, the people reduce the number of officials, a city often only has six or seven officials, so few officials but the ground is calm and rarely has accidents, the people's taxes are light, but the treasury is not empty, but there is a tendency to be full, the army of Yi is so strong, how dare Xiang and Qi dare to have different intentions."

King Liu nodded and said, "In this way, ......, this Yi country is really not to be underestimated. ”

Qiao Hai made a progress: "If this is the case, it is nothing, it is not enough to make the minister have the heart to abandon Zhao." ”

"They're even better." The king was a little nervous,

Qiao Hai took a sip of tea and said: "What the minister just said about the land and soldiers are wrong, Yi Guo can also be said to be thousands of miles wide, and the soldiers are not tens of thousands. ”

King Liu, who didn't believe it at all, smiled and said, "What do you say." ”

Qiao Hai didn't have a smile on his face, and said: "I am helping them to calculate the power of Fanbang, pacify the civil strife in Fanbang, Yi Guo is great, Fan Wang can stabilize the throne thanks to Yi Guo, I heard that Fan Wang was impressed by the demeanor of He Junshi, and the two formed a brother with a different surname, and the minister believes that with He Junshi's personality, coupled with the temperament of Fan people's love and righteousness, with his letter can adjust 100,000 soldiers, the king believes or not." ”

Liuwang raised his head and thought about it, and said: "Although He Junshi is full of scheming, but the widow can see that he is a person of the most affectionate and sexual, and he does not hesitate to go to the soup for his brother. ”

Qiao Hai said: "The king, please think about it, Xiangguo and Qi are sandwiched between Yi and Fanbang, and they have to bend down and obey orders on this basis." ”

"Not bad." The expression on King Liu's face became more and more solemn,
