The capital of Yan State, Ji City, and Yan State Palace.

King Yan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and he kept saying: "The Qin State is about to advance eastward, and the Great Yan is anxious. What should I do? What should I do?"

Although Yan State was one of the seven major warring countries, it was the most conservative country. Yan State was a fief of King Wu of Zhou, Zhao Gong, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou, and was the relative of Zhou's family. He believed in Duke Zhou's style and did not want to innovate. It was not until Le Yi entered Yan and carried out a series of reforms that Yan State became stronger.

Unfortunately, after Le Yi left Yan, Yan State returned to the old path, old and conservative, because they thought that the bloodline of the Zhou Dynasty was noble and far beyond the other six Warring States countries, so they had to respect the Zhou Gong's style.

Therefore, the powerful Yan State was in decline again. Facing the tiger and wolf Qin, there was no chance of winning, and it would be impossible to ask the Yan State's ruler and ministers to not worry.

Last time, Qin Yiren raised troops to attack the Huns. When King Xiao of Yan heard that 300,000 Qin soldiers were heading north, he thought that Qin would destroy Yan, so he was scared to death. Although King Xi of Yan was not scared to death by the Qin army, he thought that Qin was about to advance eastward and could not worry about him.

"What are you worried about? If the Qin army wants to destroy my Dayan, Dayan can retreat to Liaodong." Some ministers hurriedly came up with advice.

"Retreat to Liaodong? OK, okay, good idea!" King Xi of Yan suddenly realized that he was very happy and kept praising him.

"The Qin State is about to move eastward. Da Yan is worried. Let's prepare to move the capital." Once King Xi of Yan made a decision, he would act recklessly and thought that the sooner he moved, the better.

At this moment, an eunuch walked in quickly and happily reported to King Xi of Yan: "Report to the king, Qin will not go east. Qin issued another edict to seek talent and recruit water workers from the world."

"What? Qin State has not moved eastward?"

"The Qin State issued another edict to seek talent?"

"Qin State uses the imperial edict to seek talents to recruit water workers? Are you joking? Just a mere water worker uses the imperial edict to seek talents. Is the King of Qin confused?"

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, there were a lot of shouts and doubts, and the crowd refused to believe it.

For the conservative monarchs and ministers of Yan State, it was difficult to understand that Qin State used the imperial edict to recruit water workers. They would rather believe that the old sows climbed trees than believe that this was true.

The imperial edict to seek talents is used to recruit talents to govern the country and the people. Is it worthy of such a big fight?

"It's true." The eunuch hurriedly handed the bamboo slips in his hand to King Xi of Yan.

King Xi of Yan snatched it and opened it to see it. He couldn't help but feel very happy. He just passed away his worries and looked up at the sky, making a burst of laughter: "God blesses the Great Yan! God blesses the Great Yan! Yingji, Yingji, everyone says you are extraordinary, but that's just like that. You can think of it by using the imperial edict to seek talent and recruit water workers."

Yanlai was very disdainful and couldn't stop slitting his mouth, as if this was the most despised thing in the world.

If he knew that Qin was playing a big game, he would build national strength from the root and enhance Qin's national strength. Once Qin succeeded, the Qin army would advance eastward, and would he be able to laugh?

The capital of Zhao State, Handan. The palace of Zhao State.

As soon as King Xiaocheng of Zhao received the news of Qin's edict to recruit water workers from all over the world, he was a little disdainful and sarcastic. Then he felt that this was very problematic and immediately ordered people to summon the wise Lin Xiangru and ask Lin Xiangru.

Lin Xiangru was extremely surprised, stroked his forehead and sighed: "The King of Qin is so great, his mind is as broad as the sea. He actually used the imperial edict to recruit water workers. Only Qin could do it! Alas, if Da Zhao could do this, how could he have the disaster today?"

King Zhao Xiaocheng was very upset and asked in a deep voice: "Lin Xiangru, why did you say this?"

"Your Majesty, think about it, what are water workers used for? Of course, they are used to control water and build canals, which is to farm and sericulture." Lin Xiangru's wise man would not have imagined the intention of Qin's move, explaining to King Xiaocheng of Zhao, saying: "There are many fertile land in Guanzhong. If there is more convenient water conservancy, Qin will have more food and grass, Qin will be stronger, and its strength will be far better than before the Changping War. By then, if Qin enters the east, who can survive in Shandong?"

"Ah!" King Zhao Xiaocheng was shocked and unwilling to give up, and said, "In this way, if I want to restore Da Zhao, I will become the moon in the mirror and the flower in the water?"

South Korea's capital, Xinzheng, South Korea's royal palace.

Unlike other countries, the Han monarch and ministers were not worried about the Qin Dynasty's advance eastward. Not only did they not worry about it, they were also singing and dancing, singing and dancing, and singing and dancing to peace. King Han Huanhui was having a banquet with his ministers.

For nothing else, because King Huanhui of Han had a "strange plan" to repel Zhou and protect Han. Qin State was blocked by the Western Zhou Duke. There was no way to deal with Korea. South Korea was as stable as Mount Tai, so why worry?

Although the ministers did not agree with Fei Zhou's plan to retreat to Qin, no one dared to say it out loud, and could only keep it in their hearts, because it would anger King Han Huanhui and cause death.

I want to ask what King Han Huanhui's favorite thing in his life? Anyone who is familiar with him knows that it is not a beautiful woman or a beautiful jade, but a "strange plan". King Han Huanhui was curious about plans in his life, and he didn't know how many strange plans he had made. As for the effect, the ministers all know that it is often the opposite of the effect that King Han Huanhui expected. However, no one dares to say, whoever says will die.

"My dear friends: Can you be happy today?" King Han Huanhui picked up the wine lord, drank it in one gulp, put down the wine lord, and asked the ministers.

"Happy, happy." The ministers hurriedly agreed.

In fact, the ministers were worried that Qin would come to him at any time, and South Korea was on the necessary road for Qin to advance eastward. The first thing Qin wanted to destroy was South Korea. South Korea was already on the verge of destruction, but King Han Huanhui was here to feast the ministers, which was really speechless.

The ministers wanted to remind him, but when they thought of King Han Huanhui's special hobby for "strange plans", no one dared to get him upset.

Prime Minister Han Kaidi knew the intention of King Han Huanhui's question, and that was that he wanted his ministers to praise him for his wisdom and martial arts. Although he was unwilling, he had to praise him according to his wishes: "Your wise, a strange plan for fat Zhou to retreat to Qin can prevent Qin from advancing eastward. Dahan is as stable as a rock!"

"Haha!" This made King Han Huanhui feel heart-wrenching. His asshole was happy and he laughed loudly.

"Your Majesty, can you make this strange plan public to the world and make King Yan, King Qi, King Wei grateful to you?" Han Kaidi looked pleased, but he felt very disgusted. There was nothing he could do about this.

"Oh, this is what it should be. However, the time is not ripe now." King Han Huanhui's "strange plan" was peerless. If he made it public, it would definitely make the four kingdoms of Chu, Yan, Qi and Wei cry out to him. He wanted to do this. However, he was a little rational and said, "Let the Duke of Western Zhou succeed and then make it public to the world. Now, it will be difficult for the Duke of Western Zhou to succeed. Things will be accomplished in secret."

When the ministers heard this, they felt a burst of disgust, but they had to praise it: "Your wise, your strange plan is superb, and your worldly! "

"I am a little strange plan. I have many strange plans. If you want to say that you are peerless, you dare not be the best." King Han Huanhui waved his hands lightly, saying that he did not dare to be the best, but he seemed to be natural. That means that if my strange plan was not the best, who dared to be the best?

"Report to the news from Qin State," an eunuch came over and presented the bamboo slips in his hand to King Han Huanhui.

"Oh." King Han Huanhui was quite surprised. He took it in his hand, opened it, raised his eyebrows, and kept shaking his head. He looked disdainful and mocked, "Is this Yingji so confused? He actually issued an edict to recruit water workers. Only he can come out."

"Use the edict of seeking talents to recruit water workers?" The ministers were also surprised and were very surprised.

During the Warring States Period, I didn’t know how many imperial edicts were used to recruit water workers. It was difficult to ask them not to be surprised or difficult to understand.

"What do you think Qin State wants to recruit water workers?" King Han Huanhui threw the bamboo slips in his hand on the short desk and asked at the ministers.

"Your Majesty, I think Qin is going to build water conservancy." Han Kaidi hurriedly made up his mind.

"Is there anything else to say? What else can a water worker do if he doesn't repair water conservancy?" Han Huanhui raised his chin proudly and said, "I know that Yingji wants to repair water conservancy in Guanzhong."

"Hehe." He stood up suddenly, his eyes shining with light, and a dark laugh came out, like a ghost laugh coming to the underworld of Jiuyou.

This laughter made the ministers creepy and sweated all over. With the ministers' understanding of King Han Huanhui, whenever he did this, he would have a "strange plan", and the result would inevitably be to make South Korea a joke.

Sure enough, King Han Huanhui was proudly stumbled his neck and said, "Do you know why I laugh? I have another strange plan, well, it is the 'tired Qin plan'."

"Impotence of Qin?" The ministers had a bad premonition, which must have been an unprecedented big mistake.

King Han Huanhui walked back and forth behind his back, and while walking, he explained to his ministers, "Don't Yingji want to build water conservancy? Well, I will let him make a major renovation and special renovation. Well, there are many fertile land in Guanzhong. If there is convenient water conservancy, Guanzhong will be richer. This is what Yingji's old man made. I sent Yishui workers to Qin to meet Yingji and asked Qin to make major renovation and special renovation in Guanzhong. In this way, Qin's money, food, manpower and material resources will be consumed on water conservancy, and he will no longer be able to move eastward."

Han Kaidi was sweating coldly and hurriedly reminded him, "Your Majesty, this matter is not allowed. Guanzhong is rich. If there is convenient water conservancy, it will be unpredictable that Qin State is strong. By then, Qin State will not have to worry about food and grass. If it advances eastward in large quantities, it will be dangerous for Han."

"Can you achieve success? Can you think of it? The water workers I want to send are for Dahan, and they want to consume the national and manpower of Qin on such useless water conservancy." King Han Huanhui was extremely proud and said, "Even if he can achieve success, I will make him unable to achieve success."

"Your Majesty, how can we do this? That's the King of Qin, the smart King of Qin, can he not see it?" Han Kaidi was speechless. Everyone in the world knew that King Zhao of Qin was fooled?

"Yes." The ministers didn't care about anything else and agreed in unison.

If Qin really cultivated water conservancy, the wealth of Guanzhong would be unimaginable, and Qin would be even stronger, far better than before the Changping War, which would be a disaster for South Korea.
