Zhao Bao and Zhao Mu went to the grassland to lay pastures and milk and fur products processing factories, which is related to whether Zhao can occupy the grassland for a long time and turn the grassland into the inherent territory of Zhao since ancient times. Diaphragm

In order to achieve this step, it is necessary to sustain the benefits, that is to say, the return that Zhao Guo gets from the grassland is greater than the investment.

The grasslands are not suitable for farming, and this can only be obtained by pastures and processing plants.

The number of people who can handle government affairs in Handan has decreased again, and Zhao Kuo, as the king of a country, has no way to be lazy, and handles government affairs with everyone every day.

The good news is that all policies are being carried out in an orderly manner, and the chaos of sharp rises and falls in food prices in some places and gun fights among villagers over water has been resolved in a short period of time.

On the whole, the flaws are not hidden, and a little chaos cannot hinder Zhao Guo's development in a good direction.

"Great King, there is news from Daijun that Donghu is showing signs of developing westward, and there are already tribes occupying part of the Loufu and Ragged Hometowns." Kong Bin looked at the letter in his hand and spoke.

"Will it affect our industrial planning such as pastures and processing plants?" Zhao Kuo asked. Diaphragm

Zhao had expected this matter for a long time, after the Xiongnu were destroyed, it was impossible for Donghu to give up the thousands of miles of fertile grasslands in the west, even if there was a threat from Zhao.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhao and Yan jointly defeated one-third of Donghu's main force last year and captured the king of Donghu, Donghu would definitely not just encroach on some of the Loufu and ragged hometowns, but also endure until now.

The problem is that it is impossible for Zhao to manage such a large grassland no matter what, unless Donghu is also wiped out and some people from the country are migrated to live in the past.

With cotton, down, and ondol, the climate problem can be solved, but the time is not yet ripe, and Yan Guo is between Zhao and Hu, if Yan is not solved, the loss of grain and grass in Zhao will increase several times, and it is difficult to support it for a long time.

"There was no impact in a short period of time, but Rong Di bullied the soft and feared the hard, and was greedy. Once we do not counterattack, after a long time, Donghu will inevitably continue to encroach on land in the west, and may even directly send troops to plunder China's pastures and factories, bringing huge losses to China. Kong Bin said.

"It is difficult for my Zhao country to support the large-scale use of troops now, the grassland is endless, the Donghu cavalry comes and goes without a trace, sending a small number of cavalry will only startle the snake, it is better to accumulate strength first and wait for the opportunity." Wei Wuji shook his head.

He tended to either not fight, or he did his best to completely destroy Donghu. Diaphragm

There is no doubt that Donghu's strength is not as good as Zhao's, even if Donghu occupies the benefits of the grassland, if Zhao can free his hands, it will not be too difficult to destroy Donghu.

However, with the experience of the Xiongnu, Donghu must always be vigilant against Zhao, once he senses the danger of overturning, it is very likely that he will flee to the further north, and Zhao will inevitably be out of reach at that time.

There is a saying that if you don't die by fighting a snake, you will suffer from it, even if only one-tenth of Donghu's clansmen escape, it may become a big trouble for Zhao Guo in the future.

Therefore, Wei Wuji felt that instead of sending troops now and making Donghu more vigilant, it was better to ignore it, let Donghu relax his vigilance, and wait until Zhao Guo freed up his hand and completely disappeared Donghu.

"What does Uncle think?" Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Sheng.

"It's really not suitable to send troops now, but it's not appropriate to ignore it at all, Kong Qing is right, Rong Di is greedy, once we ignore it, Donghu will inevitably continue to invade to the west, threatening the pastures of my Zhao country." Zhao Sheng said.

"It's better to send a messenger over, mark the border with Donghu, and tell Donghu that as long as you don't cross the border, I, Zhao, won't care. Not only can you suppress Donghu a little, but you can also reassure Donghu, don't worry about my Zhao State attacking them. Wei Wuji said. Diaphragm

"Where is the border?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"A north-south line is drawn at the junction of Daijun and Shanggu County of Yan State, with the west to Zhao and the east to Donghu." Wei Wuji said.

"Just do what Xinlingjun said." Zhao Kuo thought for a moment and nodded, Zhao Guo and Donghu's current spheres of influence are respectively west of Daijun and east of Shanggu County, so no one will take advantage of this division, no one will suffer, but the boundary line of the previous Mohu Lake will be clear and legitimized.

】

Of course, in the future, when one side is strong, it will inevitably attack the other, but this also means that there will not be much change in the short term.

"Do you have any recommendations from the envoys?" Zhao Kuo asked.

"Su Jundai is proficient in the art of vertical and horizontal, and his eloquence is amazing, so he can be a messenger." Zhao Sheng arched his hand and said.

"Sudai? He's in his nineties, right? Zhao Kuo frowned. Diaphragm

"How can there be ninety, only more than eighty." Zhao Sheng shook his head.

"Someone else." Zhao Kuo waved his hand, "I, Zhao Guo, am not nobody, let an eighty-year-old man as a messenger, in case there are three longs and two shorts, how can I bear it?" Let Su Jun stay in Handan and enjoy his old age. ”

Zhao Kuo had seen Su Dai once, and his body was indeed quite tough, but it was not appropriate for an eighty-year-old man to travel thousands of miles to Donghu, both in public and private.

"Su Dai's son Qian, with his father's seventy percent of the tongue, can be a messenger." Zhao Sheng said.

"How old is Su Qian?" Zhao Kuo asked, according to the marriage age of the ancients, the Su Dynasty was more than eighty, and the sons were seventy.

"In his fifties." Zhao Sheng said.

"Then let Su Qian go out to make Donghu." Zhao Kuo nodded. Diaphragm

"By the way, who is the current King of Donghu?" Kong Bin suddenly raised his head and asked.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, with a blank face. During this time, domestic affairs are too busy, who cares about a mere Donghu king?

Besides, for Zhao State, does it make a difference who is the king of Donghu? It's all scum anyway.

There are few people in Zhao Guo who can afford Donghu.

"Donghu has no king now." Liu Ping said.

"And how do we send messengers?" Kong Bin smiled bitterly.

The premise of sending an envoy is that Donghu is a whole, even if it is only a nominal whole, as long as there is one person who can represent the whole Donghu. Diaphragm

But now that Donghu doesn't even have a king, and no one can represent the entire Donghu, who did Zhao send envoys to see in the past? Even if borders are drawn and agreements are signed with some tribes, how effective is it?

"Sending envoys can also be sent, now Donghu is the most powerful with the Baishan tribe and the Black Wolf tribe, most of the things are decided by the leaders of the two tribes, we just need to sign an agreement with these two tribes, and then let them inform the entire Donghu. These two tribes don't want to offend my Zhao country, and they will inevitably try their best to maintain other tribes, and long-term stability is not realistic, but it is not a problem to maintain a stable situation for several to ten years. Liu Ping said.
