In the end, Guo Kai was left behind by the Empress Dowager Zhao, and the Empress Dowager Zhao knew that Guo Kai must have a reason that he had not said, and he couldn't say it in front of Chunpingjun Zhao Tong.

"You shouldn't have finished your sentence, have you?" Empress Dowager Zhao, who had no outsiders on the left and right, asked Guo Kai.

"Queen Mother, the minister does have another reason." Guo Kai nodded.

"Say."

"Queen Mother, if you say something that can't be heard by outsiders, Li Mu and Bian Cai, who have three counties in the north, may not listen to us." Guo Kaidao.

Zhao Junbian rode from the three northern counties, and Li Mu guarded the three northern counties all the year round, and his control over the three northern counties was extraordinary, and the entire three northern counties almost only listened to Li Mu, and Li Mu, who had the three northern counties and Zhao Junbian riding as a support, also had an extraordinary influence in the court of Zhao, and that influence, even Guo Kai himself was much inferior, and even whether the Empress Dowager Zhao could stabilize the throne of her son Zhao Wangqian, she needed to rely on Li Mu's support.

But Li Mu's support for Zhao Wangqian only came from the last order of the first king of Zhao Guo, and what kind of attitude he had towards Zhao Wangqian, whether it was Empress Dowager Zhao or Guo Kai, he was not sure.

You must know that the abolished prince Zhao Jia is not only alive and well now, but also has a lot of supporters around him, Li Muruo turned to support Zhao Jia, and now he has the most elite border cavalry army in Zhao State, and he has sufficient strength to help Zhao Jia ascend to the throne, and, as Guo Kai said, the people of the three counties in the north are mostly Li Mu's horses, so that there are not only Zhao army side horses around Li Mu, but also a large number of Zhao State bureaucrats, these people gather around Li Mu, and have formed a political force that cannot be underestimated.

Empress Dowager Zhao, who also knew this, heard Guo Kai's words and subconsciously asked, "What if there are no three counties in the north?" ”

"If there are no three counties in the north, Bian Qi will need the support of the Queen Mother even more, in this case, Bian Qi and Li Mu may be more obedient." Guo Kaidao.

"What you said seems to make a lot of sense, but you are really not from the Qin State?" Empress Dowager Zhao hesitated.

Guo Kai has always said that the benefits of giving up the three northern counties are good, but he avoids talking about the disadvantages of giving up the three northern counties, which makes Empress Dowager Zhao wonder how there can be only good and no bad things in the world.

Giving up the three counties in the north, not to mention anything else, just the war horse, is an impact that cannot be ignored for Zhao State, Zhao Jun is strong in cavalry, and the most important source of war horses in Zhao State is the three counties in the north, this, Empress Dowager Zhao can also see, but everything is as Guo Kai said, it is a relationship between giving and taking.

But Guo Kai kept silent about it, but he couldn't allow Empress Dowager Zhao not to suspect it.

"Queen Mother, you know, even if I take refuge in Yan State, it is impossible for me to take refuge in Qin State, then Yang Ming wants to kill me and then quickly, how can I take refuge in Qin State." Guo Kai said with a serious face when he heard this.

"I think so." Empress Dowager Zhao muttered, Guo Kai really can't become an undercover agent of the Qin State.

Li Mu, who was far away on the front line, was still thinking about how to repel Wang Qian, but he didn't know that in Zhaodu, there were already people thinking about selling the three counties in the north.

A despicable person can find a hundred reasons for himself to do something bad, while a good person often only needs one reason to do things.

In the north of Zhao State, Dai County, Dai County, with the Qin army completely blockading Taihang Mountain and Yan Mountain, the Qin army began to attack on all fronts, because the main force of Dai County has been defeated by the Qin army in the Hengshan Pass, so in the Qin army's attack on Dai County, it is almost the trend of autumn wind sweeping the leaves, and when the time comes to May, ninety percent of the city of Dai County has fallen into the hands of the Qin army.

What is surprising is that Yang Ming's target seems to be only Daijun, and the offensive of the Qin army is not fierce, but he allows the former magnates in Daijun to flee to Yanmen and Yunzhong, without even the most basic interception.

It is precisely because of this that the Qin army was a little smoother when attacking the cities of Daijun.

During the time when the Qin army attacked the cities of Daijun, Yanmen County and Yunzhong County, which formed the three counties in the north of Zhao State with Daijun, were urgently mobilized, but the people of Daijun did not rashly choose to attack the Qin army, but guarded the city.

"The military report shows that the Zhao army of Yunzhong County has entered Yanmen County, relying on the Great Wall and Zhuchengchi, the defense is very tight, is it really not in a hurry to attack? When the Zhao army has completely completed the defensive line, it will not be easy to attack again, which is really not in line with your habit of using troops in the past. The purple girl sorted out the military newspaper on the bookcase for Yang Ming, and there was a lot of worry in her eyes.

"This time, that time, I want those three counties in the north of Zhao State to come in a hurry, besides, Dai County is already in our hands, Yanmen County and Yunzhong County have become Zhao State's lonely enclave, when do you want to seize the two places, it is not a matter for us to be captured, so why rush for a while." Yang Ming, who was leaning on the soft couch and closed his eyes, replied slowly.

There is a long sound of the piano in his ears, and only the delicate sound of the piano that can be played by the jade makes Yang Ming have a novel enjoyment, and appreciate the dynamic beauty of the sound and rhyme of the piano in the extreme stillness of his mind.

"Is that so?" The purple girl wondered, what Yang Ming said seemed to make sense, but it sounded like something was wrong.

"I think there's another reason." In the purple girl's doubts, Lang Yu, who had finished the song, looked at Yang Ming, and there seemed to be a different color flashing in her eyes.

"What is the reason?" The purple girl asked curiously.

"Sister, have you forgotten what time it is?" Lang Yu pointed to the sky road outside the window, it is now May, even if there is a word 'north' in the three counties in the north, there is still a little more summer heat in the air.

"When?" The purple girl looked along the fingers of Lang Yu and saw a bright sun, the sun was blazing, and it was already summer.

"Although the time of agricultural harvest in the north is a period of time later than that of South Korea and Dongjun, it will be almost the same in June, if my brother-in-law goes to attack Yanmen County and Yunzhong County at this time, it will affect the agricultural harvest of the two counties, and if there is heavy rain again, the two counties will inevitably encounter a food shortage next year." Lang Yu looked at the purple girl who had become more and more stupid since she came to Daijun and explained, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart, will she become like this in the future?

"I see, so you want to wait until after the harvest to attack Yanmen and Yunzhong?" The purple girl said suddenly, looking at Yang Ming's gaze, she couldn't help but feel a little more reverence, her own man actually had such a mind, and as a woman, she would only feel honored.

"Am I like that saint?" Yang Ming subconsciously touched his face, and he couldn't find the feeling of a so-called saint at all.

"The saint is too far away, but my brother-in-law is right in front of me." Lang Yu said prettyly, who said that Lang Yu has no lively side, she just didn't meet anyone who wanted to show her lively side for her.

"I admit that I am not in a hurry to attack Yanmen and Yunzhong because of the agricultural harvest, and I am indeed ready to wait for the end of the agricultural harvest before attacking the two counties, but on the other hand, you guessed wrong, I am not out of any good intentions, if the Yanmen and Yunzhong agricultural harvest are successfully completed, there will be a lot of more grain in their treasury, and the defense will be more powerful, correspondingly, as the attacking side, we will have to pay greater casualties, from this point of view, I will not do it anyway." Yang Ming explained.

"To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, make jade, you have to remember that enemies can be good people or bad people, but as long as they are enemies, they are enemies, and they must not be merciful to them." Yang Ming warned that although the two women, Lang Yu and Zi Nu, are both first-class smart people, they sometimes have the innocence of women, which cannot be said to be bad, but it is not good either.

"What is the purpose of the brother-in-law?" Seeing that Yang Ming said solemnly, Lang Yu was also a little more careful, could it be that he guessed wrong?

"The army is on the side, get jade, what do you say the bureaucrats of Yanmen County and Yunzhong County will do?" Yang Ming asked rhetorically.

"Naturally, it's actively defensive." Of course, such a question is difficult to make jade.

"That's the need for people, now in Yanmen County, there are already 60,000 Zhao troops, with my understanding of the three counties in the north, among the two counties, the population of Yanmen County is a little more, but it will not exceed 400,000, as for Yunzhong County, it is even more sparsely populated, the population is about 200,000, the total population of the two armies adds up to about 500,000, including more than 200,000 men, including the old and young, among the more than 200,000, we must remove the old and weak who are over 50 years old and under the age of 16, so that There are only about 100,000 people who can be conscripted into the army, and among these hundreds of thousands, the most young and strong people and the most good at fighting are all in the border cavalry army under Li Mu. ”

"In the end, the two counties can recruit at most seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses, and most of them are old and weak, but the army under my command has 50,000 people, all of whom are elite, in the face of such a situation, the bureaucrats of the two counties are probably eager to recruit women and children, so many people gather in the cities of Yanmen County, the contradiction is no longer the contradiction between the Qin army and the Zhao army, but those people want to go home to harvest, and the bureaucrats of the two counties want them to defend the city." Yang Ming said unhurriedly, and had clearly shown his plan in front of Zi Nu and Rong Yu.

"You want to contribute to the civil strife in Yanmen County?" The purple girl asked subconsciously, and the purple girl, who had regained her IQ, thought of this possibility in an instant.

"So to speak." Yang Ming said.

Lang Yu looked at Yang Ming blankly, he was still naïve after all, but he had never thought of Yang Ming's calculations.
