Chapter 0281: Pro-Expedition to Huainan
Under Shi Min's strategy, Zhao successively established treaties of friendship and alliance of non-aggression and non-interference with the nearby Yan Kingdom, Dai State, Qiu Chi State and Cheng Han State, and concluded trade relations and set up trade fairs on the border.
At the same time, in order to complete the formal unification of the Zhao state, Shi Min decided to canonize the kings of the nations.
Murong Hao is the king of Yan, establishes the Yan Kingdom, and sets the capital of Longcheng; Tuoba Shi Yijian is the acting king, the country is established, and the capital is Pingcheng; Yang Chu was the king of Qiuchi, established the country of Qiuchi, and set up the capital of Qiuchi; Li Shi became the king, established the country, and set the capital in Chengdu.
In addition, the Zhao court was also under the leadership of Shi Min, canonizing Zhang Jun, Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong in the land of Guanlong.
Zhang Jun is the king of Liang, establishes the Liang country, and sets the capital Guzang; Pu Hong was the king of Qin, established the state of Qin, and set the capital of Tianshui; Yao Yizhong was the king of Yong, established the Yongguo, and set the capital of Chang'an.
And Shi Min himself was canonized as the king of Wei, established the Wei state, and set up the capital of Daliang. It's just that the king of Shi Min is different from several other kings, he is the regent and the largest vassal king, so the entire Zhao State, except for Yecheng, the territory of the original Zhao State has been incorporated into the sphere of influence of the Wei State!
In this way, there was a situation in which the eight kings ruled together and divided one side.
Why did Murong Hao and Li Shi, who originally divided one side and claimed to be the emperor, choose to submit to the Zhao State? You must know that Li Shi's Cheng Han (Han State) originally had the title of emperor, but after accepting the canonization of the Zhao court, Li Shi surrendered his identity and became a king.
Actually, there is a reason for this.
Murong Hao, Zhang Jun, and Tuoba Shiyijian are all grassy and bottomless guys, for their own interests, they accepted the canonization of the Jin State on the one hand, and the canonization of the Zhao State, facing Qin and Chu, swinging with the wind, so it is not surprising that they will accept the canonization of the Zhao State and let the Zhao State complete the formal unification of the north.
As for Pu Hong and Yao Yizhong, they have no right to choose, they are already rebels, and Shi Min is thankful that he didn't send a large army to conquer them, not to mention that now Shi Min has given them such a legitimate identity, so that they can be kings and hegemons?
The same is true for Yang Chu of Qiu Chi State, relying on natural danger and forming a winning place, Zhao Guo cannot easily destroy Qiu Chi State, so accepting the canonization of Zhao State, except for paying some "protection fees", Qiu Chi State really has nothing to lose.
As for Li Shi of Chengguo, he has no choice.
Chengguo was originally the emperor, but due to the continuous attacks of the Jin army for many years, the country was already exhausted, so it was undoubtedly the best choice for Chengguo to be able to go to the emperor in exchange for the protection of Zhao.
It's just that in this way, the pressure on the Jin Kingdom side is very great!
Zhao Guoye City, Evergreen Palace.
At this moment, it is not the emperor of Zhao who is sitting here, but Shi Min, the king of Wei. Below Shi Min, there are four people sitting in the middle of the chest, namely Qin Mu of Dahonglu, Cui Hao, Tingwei, Xun Ji, the school secretary, and Ran Liang, the middle school supervisor.
These five people are already the core of Zhao State's power.
Shi Min first said: "The widow has gotten the news. Under the leadership of Yu Bing, the Jin State has decided to wage war against our Great Zhao. All signs indicate that a major war between Zhao and Jin is inevitable. Yu Bing's younger brother, Yu Yi, the general of Anxi of the Jin State, has led the army into Xiangyang, and Yu Bing also used the four counties of Yuzhou, the governor of Jiangjing, Ning, Yiliang, Jiaoguang, and the four counties of Yuzhou, Lingjiang Prefecture, and Wuchang, as Yu Yi's backup. ”
"The widow received a tip-off. The Jin army frequently dispatched troops in the direction of Huaiyin and Xiangyang, and the scale of the troops sent was very large! Ladies and gentlemen, the widow wants to fight, but how to fight, please discuss a charter together. ”
Qin Mu and the other four looked at each other.
Cui Hao pondered for a while, and then said, "King, do you really have to fight?" ”
"It's a must!" Shi Min said loudly, "The battle of Zhao Jin is inevitable. Even if the widow does not fight, the widow wants to enter the country, and he will not let my Dazhao develop peacefully and become strong. If the widow guessed correctly, the Jin State should want to emulate Zhuge Liang's six expeditions to Qishan and Jiang Wei's nine expeditions to the Central Plains, and want to earn more time and space for himself by attacking my Zhao Kingdom. ”
Cui Hao has a sense of the overall situation, but in military affairs, Qin Mu has more right to speak.
