"I actually let the King of Qin run away?" After hearing the news, Zhao He was somewhat disappointed.

Like Lian Po, Zhao He also chose to chase the King of Qin first rather than occupy Xianyang.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhao He felt relieved.

Until now, Qin State has lost Henoi, Hedong, Yiqu, Longxi, Nanyang County, Nanjun and two-thirds of the territory are gone. If he can still block the King of Qin here, the fate of Qin State will be too bad.

You should not be too greedy in life. Apart from Zhao State, who can occupy two-thirds of the land?

Thinking of this, Zhao He shook his head and said, "Okay, let's not stay here anymore, go to Xianyang."

Zhao He did not intend to continue chasing.

The reason is that the main Ziwu Road is indeed quite difficult to pass. The Qin people can completely destroy and block the road without any scruples. In addition, it is a long way from Zhao and South Korea, and the supply is also a problem. The more than 200,000 people under his command are not Lian Po’s more than 20,000 people, and it is enough to grab it casually.

On the other hand, although the King of Qin has run away, there are still a large number of Qin troops in places like Longxi, Guanzhong, Yiqu and Hedong that need to be cleaned up. There is also an unknown Chu army in the south. Many of them have not been cleaned up and need Zhao He to clean up.

After thinking carefully for a night and asking for the opinions of Le Yi and Lin Xiangru around him, Zhao He finally completely clarified his thoughts.

He first asked someone to find Bao Yuan.

"General Baoyuan, you should remember what I said before, right? As long as you Korean is willing to stand with me, then I will give you Hedong."

Bao Yuan responded in a hurry, but he felt a little nervous.

If Zhao He regrets this at this time, Bao Yuan will really have no way to do it.

Zhao He blinked his eyes and suddenly smiled, "Otherwise, I will use Shangdang County to exchange Hedong County with you?"

Bao Yuan was stunned: "This..."

Speaking of which, Shangdang County is actually the old place in South Korea, but the problem is that most places in Shangdang County except for Shangdang Basin are the Taihang Mountains. How can such valleys be compared with flat and rich plains like Hedong County?

Before Bao Yuan could come up with an answer himself, Zhao He laughed happily: "Actually, I am joking with you. Okay, according to the previous agreement, you can lead your army to leave Guanzhong and go to Hedong County to take over your South Korean territory."

In fact, during the discussion with Le Yi and Lin Xiangru, neither of the two ministers of Zhao State were very willing to hand over Hedong County to South Korea as agreed.

Hedong County is indeed very important. It is not just a granary. At the same time, it is the Shangdang of Zhao State in the east, and the Guanzhong, which has basically succeeded in Zhao State. With Hedong, Zhao State can connect these two places. If there is no Hedong, Zhao State would have to detour from Guanzhong to Handan to Shangjun and Jinyang County to the north. The journey is at least twice as high, which is really inconvenient.

But after thinking about it, Zhao He decided to hand over Hedong to South Korea.

At present, among the lost lands of Qin, Zhao clearly has succeeded in the relevant Zhong, Yiqu, Longxi and the part of Shangjun still in the hands of Qin.

There is no need to say anything about Shangjun. Since Yiqu and Longxi are both barbarians, it is very simple to rule. Anyway, if you don’t accept it, you will kill it until you are convinced.

After being convinced, let these barbarians learn Chinese etiquette and understand Chinese language and characters. After several generations, their descendants naturally thought they were Chinese from the bottom of their hearts. These routines of the princes who founded the Zhou Dynasty had long been useless. The whole process was clear and they just need to copy them.

Mainly still in Guanzhong.

Qin State has been in Guanzhong for hundreds of years, especially after Shang Yang's reforms, the strength of Qin State and the benefits brought by military merits, which made Guanzhong people have a strong sense of identity with Qin State.

It can be imagined that Zhao's rule in Guanzhong will inevitably be quite difficult and troublesome in the next few years. It is easy to conquer the country and manage it, and everyone knows this.

In addition to the hometown of Zhongshan, Qi, and Yan in recent years... Zhao State has built too much land, and the stall is too big.

There are not many bites of rice in other vassal states. Not to mention rice in Zhao, they eat delicacies and seafood until they are full, and they will vomit until they eat.

It's really impossible to eat.

My elder brother can’t even eat meat anymore, so it’s okay to give me some soup.

Moreover, what Zhao He is considering is not that simple.

First of all, since Zhao wants to unify the world, it is inevitable to be hostile to South Korea in the future. So now, to give Hedong to South Korea, on the one hand, to find something for South Korea, and on the other hand, to conquer and digest Hedong for three or five years, it is definitely impossible to conquer and digest Hedong for three or five years. Then in the next three or five years, with Hedong, who is like a hindrance, even if South Korea fights against Zhao, it is impossible to do its best, which has reduced some burden for Zhao.

Secondly, Hedong is the ancestral land of Wei. It had already agreed to give it to Wei before the war started, but later it was given to Han because Wei breached the contract and withdrew his troops. Wei definitely did not dare to make any noise to Zhao, but he was picked by Han like this. Does Wei have no objection to Han? It can be foreseeable that Wei will inevitably have a estrangement from Han because of this, which is also something that Zhao is very happy to see.

Therefore, Zhao He thought it was feasible to hand over Hedong to South Korea.

So, can the Korean monarch and ministers think of Zhao He’s plan?

Zhao He felt that it should be thought of.

But what if the Korean monarch and ministers figured out this kind of calculation?

Could it be that the Han monarchs and ministers would take several years to digest Hedong County, and would swallow Hedong and then give up Hedong?

Impossible.

In the Warring States Period, everyone was fighting for an inch of land.

With such a piece of fat meat in front of him, who would give up except for someone like Zhao who is rich and generous and full of food and vomiting?

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Hedong is completely digested, South Korea's national strength will instantly double, and it will be no problem to increase by 70%, or 80%.

Who would think he was too strong?

Zhao He's plan is actually not a conspiracy, but a naked conspiracy!

After listening to Zhao He's words, Bao Yuan was stunned at first, and then his face changed several times.

But as Zhao He thought, Bao Yuan was stunned for a moment and bowed to Zhao Heshen: "Since that's the case, then the foreign minister will thank the king for Dahan!"

At this moment, Bao Yuan couldn't help feeling a little powerless.

This Korean Xiangbang is not stupid, and it is not difficult to guess Zhao He's plan.

If it is a conspiracy, you can actually find a way to deal with it. After all, conspiracy is something that is shameless and easy to crack.

But Zhao He's damn plot, such a damn plot, and the plot that puts all the plots on the table are almost equivalent to being directly spread out for you, are completely unable to resist.

He knew that Hedong was a trap used by Zhao people to drag down South Korea, but Bao Yuan could not think of any reason to refuse, and he believed that his king of Korean was the same.

This trap is so tempting, I stepped on it!

Bao Yuan left as soon as he said that, and led the Korean army away that day, heading straight towards Hedong.

As for Guanzhong, Bao Yuan has no idea at all.

There is no way, if Zhao State doesn’t give it to it, South Korea cannot ask for it.

What's more, South Korea not only recovered Yiyang in this war, but also gained an extra piece of Hedong County, which has made a lot of money.

Moreover, South Korea has lost the Qin State, an enemy that always thinks about going east, which is also a great benefit.

Of course, things like having a stronger neighbor like Zhao can only be said to be based on their own abilities in the future.

Just after Bao Yuan left, Zhao He left 10,000 people to establish a camp and pass at the northern exit of Ziwu Road to prevent the Qin people from killing one and retaliating. Then, he took more than 20,000 cavalry led by Lian Po and Zhao She as the vanguard and headed north to Xianyang City.

Three days later, Zhao He's king's carriage drove into Xianyang Palace surrounded by countless Zhao soldiers.

At this moment, this capital that once represented the glory of the Great Qin Empire was already in a mess.

After the Qin King left hastily, since the State of Zhao did not occupy the city at the first time, the city was in disarray for about a few days.

At the beginning, people might have been immersed in the majesty of the Qin Dynasty's past systems and laws and did not dare to act rashly, but soon, those guys who were not afraid of death appeared.

When the first ranger to take out the spoils from the palace to show off his power on the street, the whole incident was completely out of control.

People rushed into the palace and snatched all their belongings frantically, scraping almost three feet of the ground, taking away all the visible things.

It can be said that it is cleaner than the bones licked by dogs, and even the floor tiles of the Qin Palace have been pried away.

Even when Lian Po and Zhao She led the cavalry into the city, many rangers were wandering around the palace, and even fought for the spoils.

This made Zhao He very angry.

"What's the matter? My spoils, have these bastards taken away?"

Zhao He was thunderous in front of countless generals of Zhao State, and then issued an order without hesitation.

search!

The next day, hundreds of rangers hung their heads on the top of Xianyang City, and the Zhao army began to search and hunt in Xianyang City.

According to Zhao He's order, as long as any family finds treasures taken out from the Qin Palace, the whole family will be sent to the frontier to build the Great Wall!

In the following day, all the noble mansions above the doctors in Xianyang City were broken into the gate by Zhao Jun.

At the end of the day, hundreds of great nobles from the Zhao army were confiscated, and tens of thousands of people, including the family and servants of these nobles, were detained, convicted and exiled to the frontier, and executed on the same day.

Xianyang vibrates.

Lin Xiangru actually had some different views on this, and he raised this view during the interview the next day.

"King, in fact, most of the treasures in the palace were taken away by the great nobles who remained in Xianyang City. The reason why these nobles stayed was to surrender to Da Zhao, so should the king consider it and give them a look? After all, with these people there, it will be beneficial for Da Zhao to consolidate his rule in Guanzhong."

Zhao He laughed and said, "Why, does Lin Qing also think that I am just greedy for these treasures?"

Lin Xiangru was stunned when he heard this.

Zhao He smiled and said, "Actually, you and I know that the wealth that truly belongs to the Qin royal family is located in the Fukuo and Shaofukuo. Although these places have experienced some disasters, they are generally intact. As for the precious instruments in the Qin royal palace, they are indeed valuable and valuable, but that's just the same thing, and they are harmless."

For Zhao He, it is actually irrelevant to any treasure utensils. What is really important is food, weapons, armor and weapons, copper coins and gold. Most of the above things rely on the loyal treasury officials of Qin State, and most of them fell into the hands of Zhao State.

Lin Xiangru nodded and said, "What the king said is very true. I am still afraid that the king is really angry because of those things. But I misunderstand the king."

Zhao He smiled and said, "Actually, this is just an excuse for me."

"Excuse?" Lin Xiangru was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something: "Does the king want to take the opportunity to clean up the old forces in Xianyang?"

Zhao He yawned and said, "That's right."

Lin Xiangru obviously looked a little strange: "But why wasn't the case when the king pacified Qi and Yan?"

Zhao He explained patiently: "Because Qi and Yan are not as good as Qin. So, I simply wiped out their entire ruling class, leaving behind a group of civilians, even if there are some resistances, they will make small fuss, so it is not enough to worry about it. Of course, if you say that you should leave some role models like Gao Lingjun, you will naturally leave some, and let them die for the rest."

Lin Xiangru was shocked: "But without the help of these ruling classes, how could the officials of Da Zhao effectively rule Guanzhong?"

Zhao He smiled and said, "Other countries are not suitable for this method, but Qin can."

Yes, Qin is different from other countries. The reason for this difference is not how Qin is doing in history, nor is it because of the King of Qin or Bai Qi, but because of the system.

The Qin State's system is a very complete legal system, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is completely ahead of this era. Even Zhao State is actually not as good as Qin State in this regard.

It has been almost seventy years since Shang Yang's reforms, three or four generations, and the Qin people have long been accustomed to the rule of law.

"In Qi and Yan, the damn nobles ruled the grassroots, so sometimes we have to cooperate with the old nobles of Qi and Yan in order to stabilize the situation, but in Guanzhong, the law ruled the grassroots and this country! Therefore, after we eliminate the ruling class of Qin, we just need to move the laws of the Great Zhao and implement them in Guanzhong. Since the people of Guanzhong can adapt to the Qin law, then adapting to the Zhao law is naturally no problem."

After a pause, Zhao He said slowly: "Besides, although Qin has been defeated by me, it has not actually perished. This is completely different from the Yan and Qi countries. Since this is the case, we must be wary of the possibility of Qin people fighting against Guanzhong in the future. I believe you are also very clear that many of the great nobles of Qin took away the master's family and left a branch to surrender to me, trying to make bets on both sides. Hey, I think it's pretty good. This time, except for those nobles who surrendered to me, all the other ones at the beginning and end must be killed! There is no such a person who is half-hearted in my Zhao Kingdom!"

Lin Xiangru was silent for a moment and bowed to Zhao He deeply: "The king is very proud, but he is stupid."
Chapter completed!
