Plains-kun is sick!

After returning from the blood-stained river, Hirahara-kun fell ill.

How so?

Under the current situation of the Zhao Kingdom, Pingyuan Jun must be sick.

As the first auxiliary minister above 10,000 people under the Zhao State, his own brother rebelled, and for this alone, Pingyuan Jun must be sick. Even if Pingyuanjun took down Pingyangjun with his own hands and sent him to the execution ground with his own hands.

And after slaughtering dozens of noble families in Handan, under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, as the first person in Handan City today, Pingyuan Jun has naturally become a thorn in the side of many gate valve families, and if he is not sick, he will be injured, so it is better to be sick.

Of course, there are major illnesses and minor illnesses.

After all, whether he can't afford to get sick or recover from a minor illness depends on Zhao Kuo's return.

But no matter what, with Pingyuan Jun's illness, all the affairs in Zhao State suddenly pressed on Lu Buwei's shoulders.

Fortunately, Lü Buwei is Lü Buwei in the end, the great Qin State in history can thrive in his hands, and the current Zhao State is also at ease in his hands.

Especially when Pingyuan-kun has already helped him scrape all the thorns clean.

The decrees of the autumn harvest were quickly implemented, and the golden millet rice also became a witness to Lü Buwei's political achievements.

Finally, in the busyness, Handan City ushered in the triumph of Zhao Kuo's class teacher.

In a grand welcome ceremony, the people of Handan once again took to the streets and staged a scene of thousands of empty alleys. The cheerful atmosphere washed away the bloody atmosphere for days.

Because Li Mu and Tian Dan were still on their respective fronts, except for a welcome ceremony, no celebration banquet was arranged. As for the reward for meritorious deeds, it is even more necessary to wait for the return of the two generals.

Soon, with Zhao Kuo's return to the palace, the people and courtiers dispersed.

And after everyone dispersed, Zhao Kuo changed into a military uniform and went to the mansion of Pingyuan Jun.

Just when Zhao Kuo was just welcomed into the Plains Monarch's Mansion, the news had already spread throughout Handan City.

Obviously, if it weren't for Zhao Kuo's laissez-faire, with the control of Handan City by the secret guards today, his actions would not have been leaked so easily.

And Zhao Kuo's indulgence is the best statement: Pingyuanjun is still a good comrade of our Zhao State!

Sure enough, with Zhao Kuo's visit with a reassuring pill, the next day, Pingyuanjun appeared in the court hall in high spirits.

Of course, Zhao Kuo's departure is not just to send a reassuring pill to Pingyuan Jun, Zhao Guo, whose national strength has skyrocketed, has many government affairs that are also complicated.

Of course, the most important of these is the governance of the newly incorporated Yandi and Korean lands.

Counting the Dongjun that was obtained from the Wei State last year and the Huaisi Land (and Huaisi County) obtained from the Chu State, the Zhao State now has a total of eight county-level administrative institutions, including Handan County, Shangdang Army, Dai County, Jiuyuan County, Hejian County, Huaisi County, Yanbei and Handi.

Needless to say, Yanbei, which is almost all under siege, is to set up Jibei County, which is also a plan that existed before the troops were dispatched.

The crux of the problem is the handling of the Korean land.

Although the actual area of Han is much smaller than that of the counties, its geographical location is very prominent, and it is almost stuck on the way of the Qin army to the east and north.

And because the land of Zhou was taken by Wei and Chu, the land of Han did not actually border with Zhao.

That's a hassle.

This time Wei Chu was on his side, and his army was naturally unimpeded, but what if Wei Chu fell to the Qin State one day?

Even if only the Wei State fell to the Qin State, it would be extremely difficult for the Zhao State to govern the Han Land.

In today's situation, this is by no means alarmist, and even from Zhao Kuo's point of view, it is very likely that Wei and Qin are already trying to do this.

In fact, just as Zhao Kuo thought, not only did Wei want to win over Qi and Chu to form an alliance of small countries, but even the current Qin State finally realized the seriousness of the problem and started a new round of diplomatic offensive.

Qin Guo, fighting a dozen and talking about it is the secret of its fortune.

Of course, how to deal with it is a matter for later, and the question now is to firmly hold the country of Han in his hands.

The garrison is almost inevitable, but the army hanging alone in the Korean land is simply fat hanging at the door of the greedy cat.

However, Pingyuan Jun's advice to Zhao Kuo was two extremes: either station the strongest army in Xinzheng, and whoever fights can defend it to the death; Either a Tuntian army is stationed in Xinzheng, the kind that can be disbanded at any time.

The two extremes both point to the same point, tempting the enemy to attack, and then fighting a decisive battle, and opening up communication with the land of Han.

It's just that these two suggestions are really difficult for Zhao Kuo.

If a strong army is stationed, it will inevitably consume a lot of grain, so that the capture of the land of Han will only have a purely tactical value, and the territory that cannot feed back the national strength is obviously not what Zhao Kuo wants;

And if a weak brigade is stationed, it is tantamount to giving up the strong posture of defense and the active group on the battlefield, it is very likely that Xinzheng will be taken by the Qin army, and even if the passage of Zhou Di is opened at that time, it will be a trouble to recapture Xinzheng.

What's more, once caught in the quagmire of siege warfare, the heavy cavalry that has been exposed by himself will not be useful, and the battle of Xinzheng this time has proved that his own foot soldiers are actually slightly inferior to the foot soldiers of the Qin army.

This was obviously a dilemma, and even Zhao Kuo decided to postpone the discussion and discuss it after several generals arrived.

But no matter what, the establishment of the county in Korea is still bound to be implemented.

And the candidates for the county guards and officials of these two counties also need Pingyuan Jun to take the helm.

Pingyuanjun, who was old and refined, immediately reciprocated and put forward a proposal again: to give seven components of the official quota of Handi, that is, the future Yingchuan County, to the nobles of the family; And Yanbei, that is, Jibei County, which is about to be established, will give seven of the number of officials in the county to the poor talents recruited by the Zhaoxian Hall.

Almost instantly, Zhao Kuo had already understood Pingyuanjun's conspiracy.

It is said that it is a conspiracy, but in fact it is a conspiracy. Yingchuan is rich and Yanbei is bitterly cold, this is a well-known thing, as a family gatekeeper, he naturally wants to work in Yingchuan, but does not want to go to Jibei.

In this case, it follows the will of the family.

First, the rebellion of Pingyang Jun made the family of Handan already popular, and giving up the official position of Yingchuan County can be regarded as a compromise for the family;

Second, this Yingchuan is almost foreseeable to become a place of four wars, allowing people from the big families to go to work, which seems to be full of flowers, but in fact it is a hidden murderous opportunity.

Once the Qin army is killed, if the Qin army is surrendered, the country will have a handle to deal with its family; If it is against Qin, there is a high probability that it will be attacked by the Qin army, which is naturally a huge loss to his family.

Of course, there is another situation, not only anti-Qin, but also a good fight!

Then what else to say, that is the minister of our Zhao country. Although Zhao Kuo wanted to get rid of the control of the gate valve family over the imperial court, in this era when the people's wisdom was not opened, it was impossible to completely break away from the family.

What Zhao Kuo has to do is to intensify the competition between the family and the Hanmen, and between the family, so as to select the truly useful people for his own use.

As for whether this person belongs to a family or a poor family, or even a person from another country, it doesn't really matter.

Just like the current court, Zhao Sheng, the first assistant plain monarch, is a member of the family, and the auxiliary minister Lu Buwei is a person from another country, as well as Li Mu, who is single-handedly promoted, strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a cold family, not to mention Zhao Ping and Zhao Wei, the fastest blades in their hands.

It is precisely this subtle combination that has maintained the basic stability of Zhao's political arena.

It's just that it can be seen from Pingyang Jun's rebellion that the power of the family is still too strong, and it is only because Zhao Kuo is really stronger that they temporarily stop drumming.

And in such a situation, it is very likely that the result will be as in history: Zulong (Zhao Kuo) died and was divided.

Using Yingchuan County as bait to fish out the power of the family and appease the family at the same time, while weakening the power of the family, it is more likely to find talents for the country, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

I have to say that the old fox is the old fox, and even at home, he has already thought of countermeasures to trap people.

Of course, if it is said that it is a pit person, it is actually a wisher who takes the bait, and even before making this suggestion to the clans, Pingyuan-kun will repeatedly emphasize the danger of Yingchuan County in the future.

It's just that this danger is not worth it at all in the eyes of a family with a large population.

However, if you look at it in combination with Pingyuanjun's own clan identity, this suggestion is simply a letter to Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo went to his mansion on the return trip, which can be said to have given Pingyuan Jun enough face, and under the reciprocating peach, Pingyuan Jun must also use practical actions to tell Zhao Kuo that he is on Zhao Kuo's side and on Zhao Guo's side.

And this plan is the best course of action.

Sure enough, after Pingyuan Jun finished explaining this strategy, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but show a happy look.

It is gratifying to be able to pit a big family, but it is even more joyful to have a courtier like Pingyuan Jun.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo agreed to Pingyuanjun's suggestion. Immediately, Zhao Kuo, who was satisfied, also left Pingyuan Jun's mansion.

With Zhao Kuo's departure, Pingyuan Jun seemed to have finally come back to life.

He knew that when the matter of Yingchuan was over, the matter of Pingyangjun would be completely exposed.

Immediately, at the court meeting the next day, Pingyuan Jun took the initiative to put forward a request for the establishment of counties in the land of Yanbei and the land of Han.

There was no suspense, and this proposal was immediately approved by Zhao Kuo.

The names of the two counties of Yingchuan and Jibei also quickly passed the court meeting.

Of course, the family didn't care about these two names, they still cared about the official hats in the two newly established counties.

However, the appointment of such a large number of people is obviously not a problem that can be solved by a court meeting. Especially because of the addition of Han Didi, the appointment of the officials in Yanbei that had already been prepared also needed to be adjusted.

This is obviously a cumbersome time, and Zhao Kuo is also pushing the boat down the river, letting Pingyuan Jun report to his own discretion after selecting talents.

Immediately, Zhao Kuo hurriedly ended the early dynasty.

And Pingyuanjun's mansion, with the end of the early dynasty, instantly changed from a cold saddle in front of the door to a busy appearance.

People are always profit-seeking......
