Chapter 8: The Advice of the Plains King

Zhao Guo, Handan.

After Hou Huan inquired about the situation in the Qing Zhao State and the world, he advised Xinling Jun that he could go to the Pingyuan Monarch's Mansion to lobby. With the relationship between Pingyuanjun's wife, and Xinlingjun's own status, Pingyuanjun naturally did not dare to slack off and treat each other with courtesy.

After Xinlingjun saw Pingyuanjun, he was not polite, and directly expressed his hope that Pingyuanjun would help him restore the country. Pingyuan Jun pondered for a moment, still showing a helpless look, and said: "Wuji, we are close relatives, emotionally speaking, your business is my business, I can't help it!" In terms of interests, we, the Zhao State, are also unwilling to lose the barrier of the Wei State. It's just that you also know that now Chang'an Jun is hostage in Xinzheng, and the Queen Mother is ......"

Seeing that Pingyuanjun wanted to speak and stopped, Xinlingjun knew the other party's scruples. Empress Dowager Zhao's favorite youngest son, Chang'an Jun, is hostage in Xinzheng, and if anyone mentions yƬ and sends troops to attack Korea, Empress Dowager Zhao will definitely spit on her.

"Moreover, only three months have passed since the Xinzheng Huimeng, and at that time, there was an agreement between the countries that if anyone moves the army first, the whole world will attack it. I really can't promise anything, unless the four kingdoms of Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan agree to join forces to attack Han, our Zhao State may send troops! By the way, Wuji, you are from Linzi, is Qi willing to send troops? If Qi Guoken is willing to send troops, I can also lobby the Empress Dowager Zhao on your behalf! Pingyuanjun sighed and added.

Xin Lingjun smiled bitterly, the problem now is that no country is willing to take the initiative to stand up and start this. Qi is also the same as Zhao and wants to see the statements of other countries. Although all countries in the world know about the threat from South Korea, it is one thing to know about it, and it is another thing to deal with it. If the statement is too early, South Korea will hit the first bird, and other countries will defect again, won't it be a big loss?!

"King Qi is young. The queen was busy regaining the hearts and minds of the people and getting acquainted with political affairs. If I had succeeded in Linzi, I wouldn't have come to Linzi! Shin Ling-kun shook his head.

King Qi is young, why isn't King Zhao young?! Now that Qi and Zhao are both queen mothers, the queen mother's intention to seek stability is obvious, and she has made it clear that no one will offend me and I will not offend. In this case. If they want to take advantage of South Korea's unstable foothold in Wei and unite other countries to attack South Korea together, the queen mothers of the two countries are afraid that they do not have this kind of courage. Pingyuanjun quickly came to such a conclusion in his heart.

"Wuji, the Queen Mother did not agree to send Chang Anjun as a hostage, but it was the Taishi Touchlong who persuaded the Queen Mother with euphemism. From this point of view, the Queen Mother is not a reasonable person. As long as you can ensure the safety of Chang'an Jun and let the Queen Mother realize that if Zhao Guo does not attack Han, there will be a great crisis, so there will be a chance to succeed! Seeing Xinlingjun's disappointed expression, Pingyuanjun comforted him.

Shin Lingjun's face was happy, although the idea seemed to be a little more difficult. But no matter how difficult it is, it is not sad about the restoration of Wei! Thinking of King Wei's eagerness in Anling, Xinling Jun really used his brain and thought of a complete strategy!

"Brother, do you remember the rooster and the dog thief?"

"Mowgli is talking about Meng Weijun? Brother Wei has heard a little about this matter, Meng Weijun sent Qin to the state of Qin was detained by King Qin Zhao, a diner pretended to be a dog into the Qin camp, and stole the fox Baiqiu to King Zhao's favorite concubine, relying on the intercession of King Zhao's favorite concubine, Meng Weijun was able to escape. But when Meng Weijun fled to Hangu Pass. King Zhao repented again and ordered the pursuit of Meng Weijun. Another diner pretended to be a chicken, causing the chickens to crow in unison to deceive the city gate. Meng was able to escape back to Qi. Is Wuji planning to secretly take Chang Anjun back to Handan, first eliminating the Queen Mother's worries? ā€

Xin Lingjun nodded in acknowledgement, and said happily: "Now that King Han has ordered the conscription of 200,000 young men to serve in Luoyang, in his opinion, Korea definitely intends to move the capital!" When the capital is moved, South Korea will inevitably ignore the surveillance of Chang'anjun. On the way that Chang'anjun moved from Xinzheng to Luoyang. Wuji sent someone to pretend to be the envoy of King Han and take Chang'an Jun to Handan! ā€

Pingyuanjun looked puzzled, and said uncertainly: "Where did Wuji hear this news, South Korea is going to move its capital to Luoyang?" ā€

Shin Lingjun shook his head, denying that he had learned any inside information. explained: "Brother, think about it, although Luoyang was destroyed this time because of the invasion of the Qin army, it is bound to be renovated. But what city needs to be rebuilt with more than 200,000 young men? What's more, Wuji heard that King Han ordered local officials to hire local people to participate in the construction of the city, and the convoy of stone and cement transported from Xinzheng to Luoyang was endless. Every indication shows that South Korea hopes that Luoyang City will be completed as soon as possible. Moreover, looking at the current posture, once Luoyang is completed, it must be a strong city that crowns the Central Plains. What's more, Luoyang has a long history as the capital, doesn't my brother think that Luoyang is more suitable as the capital than Xinzheng? ā€

Pingyuanjun said with a smile: "Xinzheng is also a strong city, but I don't think Luoyang is any good for my brother!" ā€

Xinlingjun sighed and said the reason why he thought Luoyang was more suitable for Korea as the capital than Xinzheng.

"There is Hangu Pass in the west of Luoyang, and with this pass, you can be a 100,000 Qin master. Even if Qin sent troops to make a detour to Hedong to invade the Central Plains, South Korea could calmly transfer troops from Luoyang to support Hedong. No matter how bad it is, you can rely on the river moat to defend it! The latter, in particular, is even more important for South Korea. After all, Xinzheng is far away from Hangu Pass, and even far away from Hedong County, which is adjacent to Qin and Zhao! ā€

After hearing this, Pingyuan Jun's expression became a little more solemn, if this is the case, the shape is even more unfavorable to the Qin State! When Xinzheng was in the capital of Korea, Qin still had a chance to take advantage of the fact that Korean reinforcements had not arrived to storm Hangu Pass or Hedong County, and take these two places with huge casualties. But after Korea moved its capital, Qin definitely lost this opportunity!

"There is a Bishui Pass in the east of Luoyang, Wuji heard that the Bishui Pass is now being rebuilt, and after the reconstruction, the danger of the Bishui Pass is by no means under the Hangu Pass. The west of Bishui Pass is the important town of Chenggao, there is Xingze in the southeast, and the important town of Beizhai in the east, and the two countries of Qi and Zhao want to attack Luoyang from the east, which is tantamount to a fool's dream. And there are river moats in the north and south of Luoyang, and the terrain of Luoyang is higher, so there will be no flooding of the beams! It is even more difficult to attack from the north and south! Moreover, didn't my brother find out, is Xinzheng too close to the Chu State? ā€

Pingyuanjun's expression became more solemn and silent. According to Xin Lingjun, after Korea moved its capital to Luoyang, it could better suppress the Qin State and avoid the threat from the Chu State in the south, the Qi State in the east, and the Zhao State in the north. It is even unceremoniously said that South Korea can better manage the world. The development of the Luoyang water system is well known, and through the interconnected rivers, South Korea can invisibly exert enough pressure on countries that dare to invade South Korea!

"Wuji thinks, how long will it take for this Luoyang City to be repaired?" Pingyuan-kun took a deep breath and asked such a question.

Xinlingjun thought for a while and said: "Luoyang is different from other cities, like Handan, whether it is a girder, the longest city walls are made of rammed earth. And Wuji heard that South Korea plans to build a city wall with cement, bamboo and tree trunks! Hanyi in South Korea has hoarded a lot of cement over the years! The speed at which a concrete wall is made is amazing! Therefore, Wuji estimates that if 200,000 laborers are guaranteed all the time, maybe in half a year, Luoyang can be built! ā€

"Half a year!" Pingyuan Jun secretly estimated that even if Xinlingjun's words were discounted, at most in a year or two, a brand-new Luoyang would appear on the land of the Central Plains. After South Korea moved its capital to Luoyang, the main force of the army would definitely go north. In this way, Zhao Guo's pressure will increase a lot. Who knows whether South Korea will attack Zhao or Qin first after completely recovering Wei?! In this case, we have to guard against it!

Seeing that Pingyuanjun was silent, Xinlingjun thought that Pingyuanjun felt that his plan was too risky, so he immediately added a sentence and said: "Chang'anjun is now hostage in Xinzheng, if South Korea wants to move its capital, Chang'anjun will most likely go north to Luoyang." Even if South Korea does not move the capital, or still puts Chang'anjun in Xinzheng, Wuji is confident that he will bring Chang'anjun to Handan safely. Don't worry about this, brother! ā€

As soon as Pingyuanjun heard this, he knew that he had been misunderstood, and he didn't explain much, but smiled and said: "I believe in Wuji, but if the Queen Mother believes it, it will not be easy!" What's more, without the Queen Mother's approval, even if you bring Chang Anjun back, it will be useless! I thought that my brother meant, if you want to really promote this, you still need the help of a few people! ā€

Xinling Jun was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Brother is saying that Shangqing Lin Xiangru and General Xinping Jun Lian Po?" ā€

Xinlingjun knew that Pingyuanjun and Lin Xiangru and Lian Po were not the same faction, the former represented the power of the nobles, and the latter represented the power of the ministers from civilian backgrounds. Although the two sides are harmonious on the surface, behind the scenes, they are doing their own thing. The nobles felt that King Zhao relied too heavily on ministers from civilian backgrounds, and snubbed himself and the ministers who had contributed to the Zhao state. The ministers who were born in commoners thought that the nobles were vegetarian and did not know how to make progress, and discriminated against the origins of these people.

With the death of King Zhao Huiwen, King Zhao was young, and Zhao faced a huge crisis of suspicion. The confrontation between the two forces of Lin Xiangru faction and Pingyuan Jun faction tends to ease, everyone knows that at this moment of crisis, Zhao Guo cannot be chaotic! What's more, the Queen Mother naturally trusts her brother more, King Zhao Huiwen's younger brother - Prime Minister Pingyuanjun. The ministers of Lin Xiangru's faction temporarily accepted this situation in which they were at a disadvantage.

With the prestige of Lin Xiangru and Lian Po, coupled with his promise to successfully rescue Chang'anjun, Xinlingjun believed that he had a great deal of confidence in convincing Empress Dowager Zhao to agree to his claim. As long as Zhao agrees to defect and launch an attack on Korea, then Qin, Chu, and Qi will all be able to lobby!
