"Go, call the ditch." King Yan took a deep breath and seemed to have regained some strength.

"No."

As soon as Jiang Qu arrived home, he was called back again, he leaned over and saluted, and asked, "Wang, are you looking for me?" ”

"Passing on the decree, Doctor Feng will be the secretary of the court." King Yan ordered.

"The ministers are willing to smear the king's liver and brain." He knelt on the ground, stretched out his hands, bowed down, and said excitedly.

"If the widow wants to let the general be solely responsible for negotiating peace with Zhao Guo, except for the population must not agree, all the others are decided by the general secretary, and no one can object. In addition, tell Zhao Jun that as long as he retreats, I will ...... Yan Kingdom Willing to be a vassal! ”

King Yan gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, his nails sank into the flesh because of the force, and a trace of blood oozed from his palms, and he said extremely unwillingly.

The son is not ambitious, and the grandson is young.

In order for the Yanguo Sect Temple to continue, he could only choose to endure humiliation.

"These are just faces, as long as Guozuo is still there, my Yan Kingdom can make a comeback." King Yan comforted himself in his heart.

He knows very well that strength is always more important than face, so even if he is a minister, he can't hand over the population to Zhao State.

The title of minister is only temporary.

Once the population is handed over to the Zhao State, the Yan State will never turn over.

"Obey." Jiang Qu leaned over, and seeing that King Yan had no intention of continuing to speak, he silently withdrew from the dormitory.

King Yan looked at the roof, and Qin Kai's sturdy figure appeared in his mind, with some hesitation on his face.

Qin Kai was hostage in Donghu in his early years, made friends with the Hu people, was very familiar with Donghu, and after returning to Yan, he commanded an army to attack Donghu and fought down more than 2,000 miles of land for Yan.

In terms of merit, now all the generals of the Yan Kingdom combined, no one can compare to Qin Kai.

However, Qin Kai's prestige among the Hu people was too great!

So big that no monarch would dare to use him.

At that time, Qin Kai commanded the army to attack Donghu, and all those who dared to resist were killed, and the last survivors were those who supported him.

In order to weaken Qin Kai's influence, Yan has been encouraging Yan and Hu to intermarry over the years, and even so, Yan still has a full third of the Hu people who are sinicized!

This is also the reason why King Yan knew that Qin Kai would not rebel, but he still didn't dare to reuse it.

When your strength reaches a certain level, it doesn't matter if you will rebel or not!

It's just that now all the famous generals of the Yan Kingdom have been captured, and except for Qin Kai, no one can provoke the country's heavy responsibility, let alone defend against foreign enemies.

King Yan looked at the roof motionlessly, and the courage to let Qin Kai serve as a general had long since disappeared without a trace......

After a long time, King Yan sighed, but still couldn't say anything about appointing Qin Kai as a general......

……

Outside the city of Wuyang, the flag covered the sky, the war drums were thunderous, and the Zhao army blocked the water of the siege of Wuyang City.

Zhao Kuo stood on top of the chariot and looked at Wuyang City, but he did not order the siege of the city.

Sun Tzu Zeng Yun: The army is attacking, the second is the enemy, the second is the army, and the next is the siege.

Wuyang City is the capital of Yan Kingdom, the city wall is tall, there is a moat outside the city, there are layers of urn cities inside, and the population in the city is large, the ordnance and food are very sufficient, it will be impossible to take it down for a while and a half.

"Beat the drums of war every other hour." Zhao Kuo commanded.

Although he did not intend to attack, he would not make the defenders of the city feel better.

If the peace talks go smoothly later, it will be regarded as a scare and scare of the Yan army, and there will be no loss anyway.

If the peace talks do not go well, it will just tire the defenders in the city so that they can attack the city in the future.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll leave it to me." Jia Yan patted his chest and said.

"Hmm." Zhao Kuo nodded.

"Report! The king, General Li Mu has arrived ten miles away. At this time, a herald rushed to report loudly.

"Li Mu has finally arrived!" Zhao Kuo was suddenly overjoyed, and asked Ben to drive the chariot in the direction of Shangguguan.

Li Mu rode on a majestic war horse, walking in the front, majestic, after seeing Zhao Kuo, he hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, hugged his fists and said: "The last general Li Mu pays a visit to the king." ”

"Very well done." Zhao Kuo picked up Li Mu, patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief.

Compared with before, Li Mu has faded away from immaturity and gained more self-confidence, and Li Mu, who did not begin to become famous until ten years later, has now officially grown into a generation of famous generals.

"Thank you, King, for the compliment." Li Mu said happily.

Zhao Kuo pulled Li Mu to the chariot and said, "Get in the car, let's go back to the camp." ”

"The minister did not dare to ride with the king." Li Mu said with some flattery.

Now that the identities of the two sides are different, one is the king and the other is the minister, he doesn't dare to ride Zhao Kuo's chariot at will like before.

"What else is polite between you and me?" Zhao Kuo took Li Mu's hand and dragged him up directly, not minding in his heart, "How do you feel about these two months in Northern Xinjiang?" ”

"Northern Xinjiang...... It's a place that can sharpen people......" Li Mu thought about it and said seriously.

The northern border of Zhao is more than 1,000 miles, and it has to face Donghu, Xiongnu, Linhu, Loufu, Zhuang, and Dairong...... I don't know how many alien races, and I don't know how many tribes there are in each alien race, not to mention the great enemy of Yan Kingdom.

Li Mu was busy every day for the first half a month, and often made mistakes, and was caught by the cavalry of the alien race, and only after slowly getting familiar with it did he start to fight back.

"Send more people to pay attention to the surrounding foreign races, especially the Xiongnu, and if necessary, you can spend a lot of money to buy a few tribal leaders for our use." Zhao Kuo reminded.

Lin Hu, Lou Fu, and Dai Rong were destroyed by the Wuling King, and the remaining forces were subdued, and the remaining forces could no longer generate any climate, and the scarlets, raccoon dogs, and refractive were originally small tribes, as for Donghu, the main forces were within the scope of the Yan State, and the power within the scope of the Zhao State was not large.

Now the biggest enemy in the northern frontier of Zhao State, except for Yan State, is the Xiongnu.

"The king wants to use troops against the Huns?" Li Mu was a little eager to try.

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "Now is not the time, my Zhao Kingdom has been fighting for many years, and what I need now is to accumulate strength." I sent someone to inform you before, did you see the Hetao Plain south of Yinshan? ”

"The last general went to see it, and it was indeed a good place, but now it is only suitable for grazing. If you want to farm, you need at least 10 years of development. Li Mu said.

After he received Zhao Kuo's order, he immediately took people to check the Hetao Plain, the water source is sufficient, the grassland is rich and fertile, the climate is mild, and there are many wild horses living on it.

Li Mu was happy about this for several days, but when he saw a flying transcendental-level war horse flying in front of him, he couldn't be happy anymore!

In addition to this, there are herds of bison, sheep, wolves, crowds, and many more.

Overall, it's a good place, but it's a bit difficult to farm.

Whether it is Jinyang or Handan, it is after decades or even hundreds of years of development that the endless fertile land has been formed.

As for the land that can grow by sprinkling a handful of seeds, there are also them, but unfortunately they are not in the territory of Huaxia!

Zhao Kuo shook his head and said, "Your idea is wrong. ”

"Please also ask the king for advice." Li Mu thought about it for a while, and didn't feel that he was wrong, but out of trust in Zhao Kuo, Li Mu still asked very sincerely.

"Let me ask you, where can the Xiongnu and Lin Hu graze, can we graze there?" Zhao Kuo looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu is obviously the fixed thinking of Chinese people: where to always want to plant something, the place where you can farm is a good place, what does Lao Tzu want him to do if you can't farm?

He ignored that grazing is not the preserve of nomads, and that the Chinese people also know how to graze, and they do it better.

Although the old Zhao family did not make a fortune by raising horses like Qin Guo, they drove horses, and they were not much different from raising horses. Moreover, the Zhao family and the Qin family were good friends back then, and the Qin family had it, and the Zhao family did not lack it.

If horses can be raised and grazing in the Hetao, the pressure on Zhao Guo's horse administration will be greatly reduced in the future.

Later, when Zhao freed up his hands, he slowly developed the Hetao into fertile land, and then collected the grasslands north of the Great Wall for grazing......

Go the way of the nomads and let the nomads have no way out!

"The king really has a high opinion, but the last general is negligent." Li Mu said with admiration.

yes, who said we can only farm, we can also herd!

"This king heard that in recent years, because my Zhao country's main energy is in the south, and the north is not strong, part of the Hetao Plain has fallen into the hands of foreign races, and this king wants you to find a way to take back the Hetao. To the south of Yinshan, not a single piece of land can fall into the hands of foreign races. ”

Unconsciously, he had returned to the camp, Zhao Kuo said as he got out of the car.

"The Admiral remembers." Li Mu said solemnly.

"Hmm. By the way, what about the captives of the Yan army? Zhao Kuo asked.

"The last general was imprisoned in Yuancheng and Daicheng respectively, leaving 20,000 troops to guard it. The main general of the Yan army, Qing Qin, and the general of the drama Xinmo have already brought over. Li Mu said.

"Go and bring it." Zhao Kuo said to the guards.

"No." The guards immediately walked outside with Zhao Kuo's order.

It didn't take long for him to walk in with Qing Qin and Ji Xin.

"The generals of the defeated army, Qing Qin and Ju Xin, meet Zhao Jun." Needless to introduce, Qing Qin and Ju Xin also knew that the only one who could sit at the top was Zhao Wang and Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo looked at the two, Qing Qin was very young, only in his thirties. Ji Xin is in his fifties, but he doesn't look old because of his internal qi.

Although the Gangyuan Realm does not have a longevity in the Transcendent Realm, under normal circumstances, it can live to be seventy or eighty years old, or even break through the one hundred age mark, after all, at this level, most diseases will no longer be infected.

It's a pity that there is no normal situation in the troubled times, let alone the Gangyuan Realm, even a transcendental-level powerhouse cannot guarantee that he will be able to die right.

The Martial Spirit King was starved to death.

King Wu of Qin was stoned to death by Ding.

Wu Qi was shot and killed by random arrows.

……

Not to mention those below the Transcendental Realm.

"Will you two surrender?" Zhao Kuo asked calmly.

Although the strength of Qing Qin and Ju Xin is not as good as Le Yi and Li Mu, nor is it as good as Pang Xuan and Le Cheng, they are more than enough as the backbone.

For a country, the famous players are important, and the backbone is also indispensable.

Qing Qin and Ju Xin glanced at each other, leaned over and bowed, "The last general is willing to surrender." ”

……

The next day, Jiangqu went all the way to Wuyang, and as soon as he entered the camp, he scolded: "Why did Zhao Jun betray his promise, he clearly said that he would wait for three days, and as soon as he turned around, he sent troops to attack my country." ”

"This king said that he would give Mr. three days, but he didn't say that he would not attack for three days, but Mr. didn't understand, this is not treachery, Mr. Don't wronged this king." Zhao Kuoli is not straightforward and strong.

"You ......" pointed at Zhao Kuo, trembling all over, and he didn't know what to say when he was angry.

He had lived half his life, and it was the first time he had seen such a brazen person!

"Sir, don't be angry, you will lose your life. Come, let's go into the camp and talk in detail. Zhao Kuo stretched out his hand and said.

Jiang Qu suppressed the anger in his heart, walked towards the camp tent, and just stepped into the camp tent, he saw at a glance the four people sitting below, Rong Yan, Qing Qin, and Xi Xin.

Two on one side, neatly and neatly.

The anger in my heart came up at once, and I couldn't stop it.

"You ...... Is it worthy of the king? Jiang Qu pointed at the four of them and roared.

Rakuma and the others immediately lowered their heads in shame.

"Sir, the four generals are now the courtiers of this king, and it is not your turn to reprimand." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice. "In addition, do you think that the defeat of the Yan army is only their responsibility, and the Yan King is not responsible?"

Jiang Qu was silent, how could King Yan not be responsible!

The four of them looked at Zhao Kuo gratefully.

"Give a seat to the envoys of the Yan Kingdom." Zhao Kuo walked to the center, sat down, and commanded.

Soon a guard brought a bench for Jiang Qu to sit down.

Zhao Kuo looked at Jiang Qu and asked casually, "I don't know how Yan Guo discussed?" War or peace? ”

"And." Jiang Qu leaned over and said.

"Oh?"

"Except for sending the relatives of the captured soldiers of our army to Zhao State, my Yan State agreed to all other conditions, and I only hope that Zhao State can withdraw its troops." Jiang Qu said.

"I'm sorry, Mr. said that the conditions before my Zhao Kingdom have changed." Zhao Kuo said.

"You ......" stood up with a slump of anger, and wanted to turn around and walk away.

However, in the end, for the sake of Yan Guo, you had to stay in humiliation.

For the first time, he felt what it means to be a weak country without diplomacy.

"Please speak up." Jiang Qu gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said word by word.

"One, the Yan Kingdom ceded Shanggu County, Wuyang, and all the land south of Yishui. Second, compensate my Zhao State with 2 million stone of grain. Third, send the families of all the captives to the state of Zhao. Fourth, compensate my Zhao State for 100,000 catties of copper and 100,000 catties of iron. As for the declaration of war on the four kingdoms of Qin, Qi, Han and Wei as mentioned before, it will be exempted. Zhao Kuo waved his hand.

He can't wait to go to Qi State to collect grain now, and it would be a waste of time to wait for Yan State to recruit soldiers to help him take the lead.

"I am not satisfied with Zhao Jun, even if I grasp my Yan Country now, I can't take out two million stone of grain and 100,000 catties of copper and 100,000 catties of iron. In order to express the sincerity of our country, the foreign minister can call the shots and compensate Zhao State with 1.3 million stone of grain, plus 50,000 catties of copper and 50,000 catties of iron, but it will take a certain amount of time to raise. Jiang Qu said.

The copper and iron of the Yan State are basically used to make weapons, and these weapons all fell into the hands of the Zhao State with the surrender of the Yan army, and now where to get 100,000 catties of copper and 100,000 catties of iron.

"Yes." Zhao Kuo nodded, Yan Country is not a big grain producing country, and the smelting level is not particularly outstanding, so he did not embarrass Yan Country here.
