Chapter 428 Pursuing the traces of King Yan(1/2)
When he heard that Zhao Lang had arrived, Tian Du suddenly showed a smile on his face and went out to greet him.
He stopped suddenly and said to the housekeeper beside him,
"When the time comes, just wait outside. If the king lets you in, come in again."
Then he ran outside. Not long ago, another letter came from the Xiang family of Chu State, which put a lot of pressure on him!
Only Zhao Lang can withstand this pressure.
Not long after, in the living room, Tian Du was pointing at a map and crying,
"King Zhao, you have to make the decision for me this time!"
"Xiang, they want us to give up most of Qi's land. Even the original capital, Linzi, they have to take over!"
Zhao Lang listened silently to Tian Du's cries.
Of course he knew that the other party was pretending to cry. It has to be said that everyone's acting skills were still top-notch.
It's just that the conditions proposed by Xiang this time are extremely harsh.
To put it simply, it means Qi Di, and their Xiang family is determined!
Zhao Lang could also guess the reason. The homeland of Qi State and the homeland of Wei State bordered.
Now that Qi, Wei and Han are united, they are the front line to resist and counterattack Great Qin!
With this line of defense in Chu's homeland, it can develop its rear safely.
What’s even more amazing is,
Looking at the map, you can see that the Xiang family occupies the center and abdomen of the entire China.
Zhao Lang, Zhao Qihan, and the forces of the Three Kingdoms are all on the sidelines now!
To put it harshly, Zhao Lang was divided into pieces.
Of course, from another perspective, it was Zhao Lang who surrounded them with these little corners.
But no one would think so. How could this marginal land be used to surround the Xiang family?
Therefore, the situation is extremely unfavorable to Zhao Lang.
If it had been before, Zhao Lang would have had a tough fight with the opponent without hesitation.
But now...
After Tian finally finished crying, Zhao Lang said with a smile,
"King Qi, can you trust me?"
King Qi immediately said,
"Of course I believe in King Zhao!"
Zhao Lang suddenly laughed and said,
"This time is actually an opportunity to screen people, gather the survivors who are willing to follow us, and retreat here."
Zhao Lang drew a line on the map. He wanted to evacuate everyone from Tiandu to the peninsula of Qi's hometown.
Tiandu was stunned.
"King Zhao, doesn't this mean that you are giving up all your positions to the Xiang family?"
By retreating to the peninsula, although they would not face attacks from the Qin Dynasty, they would also have no chance of advancement.
Zhao Lang said calmly,
"Then they have to be able to hold on."
Tian Du was stunned for a moment, then said,
"Does King Zhao want them to fight with the Qin army first, and then we wait for the opportunity?"
"But what if they resist?"
Although Zhao Lang did not remember those historical details, he also knew that all the rebels from the six countries in the early stage did not take advantage of them.
So he said,
"The Qin army is not that easy to mess with. The casualties in the early stage must be heavy."
Tian Du also nodded in agreement. The Qin army swept across the six countries with force, so the Qin army should not be underestimated.
So he gritted his teeth and said,
"King Zhao, I listen to you and go and gather people now."
"only..."
Seeing that the other party was hesitant to speak, Zhao Lang said with a smile,
"King Qi just said it doesn't matter."
Tian Du then said,
"Tian Rong has the support of the Xiang family and is already recruiting troops."
"Although I have no money, I don't have any useful manpower in terms of military force."
A large part of the reason why survivors from various countries are willing to respect the Xiang family is because of the Xiang family's military power.
Building an army is not that easy.
If Zhao Lang wants to compete for the position of leader of the Six Nations Alliance, he must also bring some benefits to the allies who follow him.
Facing Tian Du's request, Zhao Lang showed a strange expression on his face.
Tian Du also saw it and said quickly,
"Don't worry, King Zhao, I will definitely have enough money."
Zhao Lang clicked his lips and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
After all, Zhao Lang didn't know what others would do.
But if he didn't take the opportunity to let some of his own people in, he would be sorry for himself.
Coupled with the cobweb manpower that the slaves had deployed earlier, Tian Du is one of his own.
Well, thinking about it this time, when I go to Wuguan this time, I just want to find Han Cheng, the King of Han, and help him raise the army.
Brother, everything is in your heart, no need to say it out loud.
Suddenly, Zhao Lang's face became solemn and he said,
"What are you saying, King Qi?"
"This matter is all my responsibility. I will immediately pass on the order and ask someone to help you form an army!"
Well, let Big Dog come over and bring with him a hundred or so backbones of the new army.
You can initially raise an army of ten thousand people.
After all, they don't need elite strategy.
These troops are also the reserve troops of his new army.
When Tian Du heard this, he was overjoyed and said,
"Thank you so much, King Zhao!"
"It just so happens that I have gotten some good things in recent days, and I specially dedicated them to King Zhao!"
"Here comes someone."
Soon I saw the butler walking in with a jar in his hands very solemnly.
Then King Qi also stood up with some seriousness, took the jar, and said,
"King Zhao, this is my wish, please accept it."
Zhao Lang had no choice but to take it, but after taking a look, a strange look appeared on his face.
He originally thought it was some jewelry, but he never expected that it was actually a jar of snow salt produced by himself.
Tian Du said at this time,
"This thing is a newly appeared snow salt, which is extremely precious."
Listening to Tian Du's words, what can Zhao Lang say?
I can only give him a smile and then accept it.
After agreeing on these matters, Tian Du asked,
"Why did King Zhao come here this time?"
Zhao Lang had already thought of his words before coming, and returned with a smile,
"An uprising is imminent, and my king's Zhao land cannot move, so I want to go to Yunmengze to meet the peasant saint to see if we can make some progress."
When mentioning the peasant saint, Tian Du's expression suddenly became strange, and he said with a hint of meaning,
To be continued...
