Zhao Kuo's intention is very clear, he wants people, food, ordnance, and power!

If you want someone, what you want is the elite Zhao Jun who fought with Zhao Kuo in the Shangdang. Isn't the army of Daibei enough? At least the defense is absolutely sufficient, and even taking the initiative may not necessarily have the upper hand.

Because even in the most difficult time of the Battle of Changping, King Zhao did not mobilize the last defensive force of Daibei, and Daidi still maintained at least 50,000 troops. From this point of view, King Zhao is much wiser than the monarch who allowed the Hu people to enter the customs and those who "would rather be with foreign thieves than domestic slaves". At least he understands the truth that "a brother is against the wall, and the outside is against his insult".

It's just that although the army of Daibei is sufficient, it is not Zhao Kuo's cronies. Of course, Zhao Kuo is confident that among the Zhao army, his prestige is already in full swing, and even some unfamiliar Daibei troops will definitely obey his orders, but in the final analysis, it is still not as good as a Shangdang army that has experienced life and death.

With these 10,000 elite troops joining, and under their leadership, it is believed that the army of Daibei will soon be able to adapt to its own command style. The so-called mixed sand is more or less like this.

Of course, this is only one of the purposes of this move.

Second, when the army was selected, in addition to his own 500 personal soldiers, Zhao Kuo also deliberately asked Lian Po to select 3,000 elite cavalry, Zhao Kuo must take this force into his own hands, and at the same time, he also needs to adjust and completely rearm these 3,000 elite cavalry.

The third, and most important reason, is that it is not enough for outsiders, and even Lian Po cannot tell him - what Zhao Kuo wants is to minimize the mobile forces of Shangdang County and Hanoi County.

After the war, the total strength of the soldiers was about 120,000, and after the rotation to return to the fields, the total strength of Shangdang County and Hanoi County was about 70,000 to 80,000. In other words, in the land of the two counties, each county only has more than 30,000 troops, and less than 40,000 troops are stationed, which can be said to be the limit of the defense of the Qin State.

If Zhao Kuo draws another 10,000 elites from it, then for the front line, the strength can almost be said to be stretched. The defense may be based on the ability of Lian Po and Tian Dan, and it can defend a little, but once something happens in Handan, and there is a Qin army in front of it, then it is bound to be impossible to rush to the aid of Handan.

Of course, if King Zhao is wise, he will grant General Lian Po of Shangdang County and General Tian Dan of Hanoi County the right to recruit troops on the spot, and it will not take too much, as long as even one or two thousand combat forces are absorbed among the displaced people, it will greatly alleviate the problem of insufficient troops in the two counties. If you absorb another 10,000 or 20,000, you will have the power to help other places.

It's a pity, after Zhao Kuo made such a fuss, especially the trick of disobeying the king's orders, he was obviously full of suspicion about the generals outside, even if that person was an old general of Lian Polian.

With King Zhao's current state of mind, how could he allow the right to conscript?!

And General Lian Po and Tian Dan, who do not have the right to conscript, will not disobey the king's order as lawless as Zhao Kuo, so they can only use limited troops to deploy on the spot.

Of course, there are still a lot of Tuntian soldiers in Xu Li's department, but those troops are not real soldiers and horses, let alone soldiers and horses belonging to King Zhao. Not to mention King Zhao, even if Lian Po is close, I'm afraid Xu Li will not agree to give soldiers and horses. In a word, without General Zhao Kuozhao's general order, half of the Tuntian soldiers would not move.

As for when Handan will be in danger, the answer has been given in the history books. Today's Zhao State seems to be cooking oil with fire, but in fact, it has become a thorn in the side of many countries, such as the younger brother of Qin - Yan State.

Maybe the Yan Kingdom will not come to attack Handan in the near future as it did in history, but hatred has been planted, and it is only a matter of time before it erupts.

As for asking for food, it seems much simpler, after all, "the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first", Zhao Kuo wants to solve the problem of the Hu people, obviously he needs a lot of grain and grass.

But the bad thing is that the battle of Changping has just ended, although the autumn harvest did receive a part of the grain, and it can be regarded as a long drought for the entire Zhao State. And Zhao Kuo's action is to eat all the food that Zhao Guo can finally breathe a sigh of relief, without food, even if King Zhao wants to do something, it is difficult. When soldiers eat food, if there is no food, where will the soldiers come from?

In this way, the recovery of the Zhao State led by the King of Zhao can be further suppressed, not only to cut off the source of troops from the King of Zhao, but also to accumulate the dissatisfaction of the people of the Zhao State - obviously won the Battle of Changping, but failed to enjoy the fruits of the victory, and it was still the same hunger.

Of course, on the surface, Zhao Kuo only wanted the grain and grass of Shangdang County and Hanoi County, but it was obvious that the grain and grass handed over by the devastated two counties was not enough for Zhao Kuo to use, and King Zhao demolished the east wall to make up for the west wall.

But the people will not know, let alone understand. They will only ask: Where is the autumn grain in Handan County! The general obviously only needs the grain of Shangdang County and Hanoi County.

If the food problem is Zhao Kuo in Yin Zhao Wang, then the requirement for ordnance is to unmistakably ask for rights. Obviously, the treasury of Handan Mansion has long been empty, and weapons large and small have long been moved to the Changping battlefield, and Handan County, which is in ruins, is no longer able to provide ordnance for Zhao Kuo.

Because the production of ordnance is bound to be handed over to Shangdang County, which has already begun to expand production, I believe that Zhao Yu will not let go of this opportunity to perform, and will naturally volunteer to undertake this task. As long as Shangdang County undertakes this task, ordnance production is bound to become the pillar industry of Shangdang County, and you must know that Shangdang's ordnance production is now firmly in the hands of Zhao Wei.

As long as Zhao Kuo still has requirements for ordnance, no matter who is replaced to be the county guard of the Shangdang, he must fully cooperate with Zhao Wei's work. And Zhao Wei's work can be contacted by Xu Li's Tuntian affairs.

In this way, a huge chain of interests has been formed, and all those who dare to touch this chain of interests will be accused of sabotaging the situation in Daibei and the Litonghu people, and will be expelled.

As a result, Zhao Kuo grasped the two core tasks, and also firmly grasped the two counties of Shangdang and Hanoi.

In this way, Shangdang, Hanoi and Zhao Kuo are about to leave the land of Daibei, Zhao Guo has three parts of the world, Zhao Kuo has accounted for two, and the remaining one is still in turmoil. There is only one opportunity to be able to completely take Zhao Guo into his pocket.

Of course, this opportunity may not be difficult to wait, the difficult thing is that Zhao Kuo wants to completely subdue the land of Daibei before this opportunity. That's a bunch of fierce soldiers! It may not be easy to get them to obey their orders completely.

But no matter what, the goal has been set, and the road is already under our feet.
