This winter is a busy one after all for South Korea, from Longxi to the East China Sea, from Shangdang to Bashu, building galloping roads, carrying out new laws, and training recruits, and everything is being done in an orderly manner.

In particular, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, and Liangzhou, because they were newly annexed, King Han instructed the governors of the three prefectures and counties to slow down the promotion of the new law rather than rush it and cause conflicts.

The state and county officials of the three regions obeyed the orders of the king of Han, and all of them worked diligently to punish the corrupt and pervert the law, and to provide relief to the widows, the elderly, and the weak, and in one winter, they established the authority of the new government. I believe that with the passage of time, the new law will gradually show its results.

With the arrival of the Spring Festival, King Han, who has been thinking about it for a whole year, can finally have a good rest, if he can, King Han really wants to live like this. Accompany the queen and her son every day, practice swordsmanship, and play chess with ministers, and the days are very leisurely. But sometimes, you don't look for trouble, but things come for you. The arrival of Lin Xiangru, the envoy of Zhao, broke the tranquility of Luoyang.

Lin Xiangru is carrying the king's order this time, and he wants to discuss a very important matter with King Han, that is, to change land.

Where there is land, there is population, and population is the most important resource in this era. There are very few of the 800 princes of the Spring and Autumn period left, and the reasons for their demise are different, but the common point is that the area is too small and the population is too small. Nowadays, it is unthinkable that the wars of hundreds of thousands of people in various countries are unimaginable in the Spring and Autumn Period. In this troubled world, there is a war and there is success or failure, and it goes without saying that there are many benefits to success; Whether the losing side will collapse or can rise again often depends on the size of the country and the size of the population. This is also why the state of Chu can last so long!

Zhao Guo's "sincerity" this time is not insignificant, because Zhao Guo wants to exchange Taiyuan County, which has fifteen counties under its jurisdiction, for six cities north of Maling. In terms of population, there are 80,000 households in Taiyuan County. The six cities north of Maling had 50,000 households; In terms of area, Taiyuan County is more than 800 li from north to south and more than 300 li from east to west, while the six cities north of Maling are only 200 li in radius. If only these two factors are considered, South Korea will undoubtedly have a big advantage.

But considering that if Korea agrees to change places, then the state of Qin will be almost completely surrounded by Korea. The reason why it is said is that it is almost, because the northernmost part of the Shang County of the Qin State can still be connected to the Yunzhong County of the Zhao State, but the place where it is connected is high and the road is far away, and it can be said to be isolated from the world! If Qin wants to expand its territory, it can only fight South Korea's idea.

On the other hand, the six cities north of Maling are connected to Taishan County in the east, Dongjun in the south, and Handan in the west, so the geographical location is very important. If South Korea loses this land. Then it would be impossible to directly send troops across the river and threaten Handan. The pressure on Zhao Guo will be significantly reduced!

It is clear that Zhao's relocation clearly contains evil intentions. If South Korea agrees, it will lose Qin, a potential ally, and Qin and Zhao will have the basis to form an alliance against South Korea again. If South Korea sees through it, it can't say anything about Zhao State, and Yu Zhao State has no loss.

So, when the king of Han summoned his ministers to discuss the matter. Many were silent. The conditions given by Zhao Guo are too generous, and it seems that not agreeing does not conform to South Korea's habit of taking advantage. agreed, but cut off the possibility of friendship between Qin and South Korea, and fell into the hands of Zhao.

It seems that if you want to make the right choice, you must think about whether the Qin State, an ally that can be used, is important or Taiyuan County! At first glance, the Qin State had less than 200,000 troops, which was really not worth mentioning compared to South Korea. There are not many helpers in the Qin State, and there are many helpers in the Qin State, aren't many people afraid that the Qin State will be strong again?! As long as you agree to this change, Qin State is not at the mercy of South Korea?! If Qin is obedient, Korea doesn't mind rewarding a few Zhao cities! If the state of Qin cannot be used by Korea. That's exactly what you want, destroy the Qin State first, and then compete with the other countries!

But if you think about it carefully, the reason is different. In this case, South Korea still refuses to let Qin have a way to live, but wants to kill everything, if such a precedent is opened, then who in the world will dare to negotiate peace with South Korea?! After all, Wei was to blame, but Qin sent Bai Qi, Wang Qian, and the crown prince as hostages, and the sincerity was so sufficient, South Korea was still not satisfied. Obviously, South Korea will not stop if it is not dead! Today it is the Qin State, tomorrow it will be the Zhao State or the Qi State.

This will give all countries in the world the illusion that they are all dying horizontally and vertically anyway, and it is better to die standing than to die on their knees. All countries unite and make it difficult for South Korea, no matter how strong South Korea is, it cannot defeat the world!

What's more, if you push people to a dead end, South Korea wants to settle the Qin State, and you don't know how much it will cost!

"Your Majesty! In the opinion of the minister, Zhao Guo's action is just a temptation! Imperial Doctor Fan Sui breathed a sigh of relief and sighed.

"What Zhao Guo wants," King Han said uncertainly.

"Handan is now at risk of being attacked by the east and west, once Han and Zhao are at odds, our South Korean army can go out of Shexian or Liaocheng, no matter which way, it is only a hundred miles away from Handan, and Zhao is bound to be like a great enemy!" Fan Sui said.

The ministers and King Han all nodded silently. This is also the biggest benefit of South Korea in exchange for this big victory! There are thirteen cities of various sizes such as Puyang and Liaocheng, plus the original Shangdang, the Korean army can go out in two ways to attack Handan, and Zhao must look at the eyes of South Korea!

"If we agree, then Handan will be relieved of the threat from the east and can concentrate on defending Wu'an, this is one of them! Second, Zhao Guo probably guessed that we, South Korea, intended to sow discord between Qin and them, so that the two countries would compete and consume, and we would reap the benefits of the fisherman! As long as we promise to change land, whether intentionally or unintentionally, we will blockade the Qin State, and in this case, whether it is for self-preservation or to expand its territory, most of the Qin States will break with our Korea! Zhao State can not only avoid the threat of Qin, but also have one more ally, which is a good way to divide and win over! Third, the encirclement of the Qin State has mostly made the countries of the world think that we in Korea want to exterminate the Qin State Sheji, and now we have just killed the army, if we are like this, we are afraid that the princes of the world will be uneasy, and the rest and recuperation that the king wants is afraid that it will end here! Fan Sui carefully analyzed.

"If the widow doesn't agree, it's fine!" King Han looked worried after hearing this, since the change of land is a trick of Zhao State, then don't be fooled! No matter how great the immediate interests are, they cannot compare with the people's will or long-term interests.

"If you don't say yes, there's a problem!" Prime Minister Zhang Ping said softly.

"Prime Minister, please speak!" King Han's expression became heavy.

"As Dr. Goshi said. Changing places is just a temptation for Zhao Guo. If we don't agree to change places, then it proves that our next target is definitely Zhao Guo! At the beginning, the reason why Wang Shang was willing to sacrifice Pingyang was to lead Qin and Zhao to fight for Taiyuan, but the premise of doing so must be to make Zhao feel at ease and not agree to change places. How can Zhao Guo's heart be safe? I'm afraid that they would rather give up a few cities in the south of Taiyuan than defend Handan! Zhang Ping explained the reason.

King Han was silent, but what Zhang Ping said made sense. Just imagine, when the Qin State hit the gate of the Zhao State, he was watching from the sidelines, how could the Zhao State fight with the Qin State with all his might? The situation that he hoped for two tigers fighting for one death and one injury would never happen, and Zhao Guo would most likely suffer some dark losses, and even take the initiative to win over Qin State in exchange for temporary peace, right?!

"What the Prime Minister said is very true! But. The minister has a plan! Maybe it can make Zhao Guo feel a little more at ease, and it can make Qin Guo dare not have two hearts for us and South Korea! Fan Sui said.

King Han was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Will the plan be released?" ”

"Land for land!" Fan Sui replied with a smile.

"Land for land?" King Han muttered. Zhao Guo proposed a strategy of exchanging land to put himself in a dilemma, and Fan Sui proposed a strategy of exchanging land to relieve himself! It's wonderful! However, how can this land be easy to do?!

Fan Sui explained: "Since Zhao Guo wants peace of mind, we have the right to accept him!" After all. Promise to change places, we can have an additional population of 30,000! But. Zhao Guo wants to drive a wedge between us and Qin, but we must not be fooled! If we want the Qin State to be used by us, we must give the Qin State hope, and the Qin State is dependent on us, but it is only to seek peace and seek benefits. Why don't we change places to Qin? If Taiyuan is owned by the Qin State, the north of the Qin State can plot Yanmen, Yunzhong, and Daijun, and the east can plot the land of Handan, and the minister believes that the Qin State will be ecstatic! After all. Although Zhao Guo is strong, he is far behind us! The State of Qin would rather be an enemy of the State of Zhao than offend us Korea! ”

King Han stroked his palms and laughed, and his previous troubles were swept away. I was obsessed, always thinking that I would not make Zhao Guo jealous, and I didn't want to let go of the cheapness, but I forgot that I could change Taiyuan to Qin again! In this way, Qin and Han were both happy, and Zhao suffered a dark loss. In the future, Zhao Guo is afraid that he will have to allocate considerable forces to guard Yunzhong County and the Fenshui coast to prevent the Qin army from threatening him from the north!

"Where should this change of land be?" King Han asked.

Qin State now only has three counties left, Shangjun, Hedong, and Neishi, if you want to change places, Shangjun will be excluded first, not only because Shangjun is vast and sparsely populated, but also because Shangjun is located between Neishi and Hedong, once traded to Korea, then Qin will be divided into two. Then there are only two counties left in Hedong and Neishi. The population of these two counties is about 80,000, which is comparable to Taiyuan and is also suitable.

"The minister thinks that the Qin State should be exchanged for internal history! If the Qin State does not obey, it will be exchanged for Hedong! Fan Sui replied without hesitation.

Today's Neishi County is a vast area located between Luoshui and Jingshui, and Guanzhong in the traditional sense is to use Luoshui as the dividing line! As long as the Inner History County of the Qin State is taken, then the entire Guanzhong will be owned by Korea, and the roots of the Qin State will be destroyed! Don't look at the fact that now the entire Liangzhou is under the rule of Korea, but if the Qin State comes back, there is no need to occupy too many places, only Xianyang and Yongcheng need to be captured, and there will be great turmoil in the entire Guanzhong! Completely driving the Qin State out of Guanzhong will not only benefit Korea's rule in Liangzhou, but also turn Guanzhong into a large rear and granary of Korea.

Dujiangyan was completed last year, according to the prediction of Li Bing, the county guard of Shu County, Shu County's grain production will increase by more than 50% this year, which is still limited by the limited land reclaimed! With more and more land being reclaimed, it is foreseeable that within five years, Shu County will become another big granary in South Korea! In the future, South Korea will use troops against the Chu State, and tens of thousands of sailors will be able to carry sufficient grain and grass by boat and go down the river!

The richness of Guanzhong is far more than that of Shu County, although the Qin State's current Neishi County has limited grain production, but only needs a little governance, Neishi County can become comparable to Longxi, Tianshui's storage zài!

Even if South Korea is defeated, it can recuperate and regain its vitality by relying on the rear areas like Guanzhong and Bashu! The ministers all understood these truths, so they agreed with Fan Sui's idea of asking Qin to exchange his internal history for Taiyuan.

As for exchanging Hedong County for Taiyuan, it's not impossible! After all, Hedong was once the territory of South Korea, and it was relatively easy to govern! Moreover, there is a river moat, which is easy to defend! I'm afraid, this is also a choice that Qin Guo is willing to make! No matter how you calculate it, South Korea will not suffer!

But everyone also knows that compared to the internal history, Hadong is really only the second choice, and the internal history is the first choice in South Korea!

"The minister seconded the proposal! If the Qin State is willing to exchange its internal history for Taiyuan, then it will be the best of both worlds! The king agreed to King Zhao's request to change places! If the Qin State wants to exchange Hedong for it, it is not impossible! Prime Minister Zhang Ping said.

"Huh!" After hearing this, King Han smiled and said: "The Qin State is now in Liyang, and we can come to the city at any time, I believe that King Qin has had enough of such a trembling and walking on thin ice!" On the condition of internal history! If the Qin State does not obey, discuss it again! ”

"Obey your orders!" The ministers responded in unison. (To be continued......)
