Young Master, this is a secret message just sent from Longxi."
In the mansion, the early summer season is coming slowly. Zhou Qing is wearing a loose silk robe, lying leisurely in the side hall, listening to the jade playing the piano, and the affairs in the Protectorate Academy.
A trip every three to five days is enough.
After leaving the academy for more than a year, Huan Jue handled everything very properly without making any major omissions.
"Longxi."
Zhou Qing whispered and waved his hand, and Yun Shu took the secret message in his hand, opened the specific information inside, and stared at it. It didn't seem to be a big deal.
The trade route has now been opened up, but according to the reports from Wushiluo's spies, it seems that the Huns mostly appeared in the Yuezhi and Wusun kingdoms, and their plans are secret and unknown to the outside world.
In the country of Wusun, Yan Lingji also fought against many people with strange ways. It seemed that she also encountered a warrior who was half-step to the profound entrance realm. She should have been invincible, but he had the Eagle Soul Sword she left behind.
It doesn't matter.
The 10,000 soldiers and horses trained by Zhang Han are beginning to show their strength, and the city of Tianshui is basically built.
At a glance, it has been more than a year since she left Tianshui, Longxi. Qianhong did not disappoint her, and there was also a lot of news revealed.
A few days ago, the rewards for the battle to destroy Korea were released.
Ye Teng was still the governor of Nanyang, but his title was directly raised by three levels, from You Shu Zhang to You Geng. He was now a high noble in the Qin State.
The same is true for the officers and soldiers under his command.
As for Zhou Qing himself, although there was no change in his title, he was given a lot of compensation in other aspects. There were also many treasures, beauties and so on. Zhou Qing didn't care about those.
"Young Master, when we attack Zhao Kingdom next, we shouldn't need you to supervise the battle, right?"
The trip to Nanyang opened Yun Shu's horizons a lot. He was waiting for death in blood-clothed clothes, and the nightmares of the past in his mind gradually faded away. In recent days, the destruction of Korea has gradually faded away.
But, what replaced it was another thing - destroying Zhao!
Although Qin and Zhao share the same origin, they have been feuding since the Battle of Changping.
For decades, although Qin had many victories in the wars between the two countries, Zhao did not suffer too many losses. Moreover, the old Qin people saw more clearly that when the king did not see it, the 130,000 soldiers from Nanyang were dispatched to destroy Han.
Military side.
The hundreds of thousands of main troops in the camp outside the pass and the camp in Lantian have not been dispatched. Why not?
Because South Korea is not worth dispatching, which vassal state is worth dispatching?
Only Zhao Guo!
The young master is very favored by the king. In the battle to destroy Han, it was originally enough for Nanyang to guard Ye Teng, but the young master was still the general supervising the war.
Now that he is about to raise his troops to attack Zhao, I wonder how the king should make a decision?
"You've been a lot smarter lately."
"It is enough for the king to make a decision on this matter. Yun Shu, when the song Nong Yu is finished, you can play it with it and let me watch your progress."
Hearing Yun Shu's words, Zhou Qing smiled softly. The destruction of Zhao was indeed in the near future, and it was no secret to the government and the public.
Naturally, he knew clearly in his heart whether he was a general supervising the war, so he didn't say much. Listening to Nong Yu's song that was about to end, he nodded to Yun Shu. With Nanyang and his party, Yun Shu's cultivation improved very quickly.
Although it is still some distance away from the innate peak, it is also quickly approaching.
"yes."
Wearing a cloud-colored brocade robe, she is slightly slim, her graceful body is highlighted, her temples are hanging down, and her hair is bound by a jade hairpin. A smile spreads on her beautiful face. She bows, takes out her bed piano, and walks to the side of the side hall.
Not long after, silence spread up and down in the sky, birds and animals moved, and the sound of the piano lingered for a long time.
******
"This court meeting will only discuss one thing, which is to destroy Zhao Fanglue."
"You will discuss it for yourself, but I will listen to you!"
Shang Qing Dun Rui of the pedestrian office finally returned from Zhao. In order to attend this court meeting, Qin Wangzheng specially declined for more than a month.
All matters related to the death of Empress Dowager Zhao have been dealt with, and the three-month period is coming soon. Now, there are a lot of discussions inside and outside Xianyang. As the center, how can we not know about it.
In the Zhangtai Palace, the King of Qin wore a royal robe, with nine pearls hanging down. He sat on his head, glanced at it, and said no more. He leaned on the king's case, already expressing his intention. Although it was not early summer, he
The interior of the hall is still not much cooler.
The civil servants and generals standing on the left and right, wearing various kinds of brocade robes and official robes, with their hair tied up, looked at each other. After hearing the words of the leader, they looked at each other with special solemnity. Destroying Zhao was no small matter.
"I understand the king's wishes."
"Among the three Jin lands, South Korea has been destroyed. The Qin State is located in a critical place, and the victory or defeat of Zhao Fanglue is even more critical."
"In the past two years, our eyes have been focused on South Korea. Now, Shangqing has returned from a weak state and will discuss the details of Zhao Kingdom!"
Xiong Qi, Lord of Changping, was the prime minister and was in charge of the state affairs. The King of Qin did not say anything about the affairs of the state. He stepped out of the queue, bowed his hands and saluted, looked around, and after speaking, he looked at the minister on the pedestrian station not far behind him.
The rest of the civil servants and generals did the same, looking at Dunwei.
They had some impression of Yu Dunrui. After all, he was also the Qin State's Shangqing, a high position, not to mention the Shangqing who came from the pedestrian station, which was even rarer. Apart from Dunrui, it was Yao Jia.
In the battle to destroy Korea, Yao Jia, the minister on the road, displayed his abilities beyond words. Whether it was the discussion of Xinzheng in Korea or the division of the three Jin countries, everyone knew it well.
But Dun Rui went to Qi, Yan, and Zhao, and he has not shown up in Xianyang Palace for several years. The key is to spend a huge amount of money every year, tens of thousands or even one hundred thousand gold.
However, judging from the attitudes of Qi and Yan towards Qin, there has not been much change. However, the king attaches great importance to it, presumably because he has other strategies in mind.
Zhou Qing ranked first among civil servants, with a noble title, but a lower official position, so he listened quietly.
"My king, you all, Dunwei has been going east for several years. The journey is long and the message transmission is very slow. In terms of the situation, Yan and Zhao are still the same. There are no big changes. However, these are just appearances."
Dunwei's body was still as tall and burly, but his skin looked a little darker, his eyes were shining, he came out of the line respectfully, bowed at the top, and bowed at the left and right, and immediately got to the point.
Hearing this, everyone listened carefully.
"In reality, whether it is Zhao or Yan, the foundations of the two countries have been greatly loosened. The king of Zhao is arrogant, extravagant and treacherous. Talented people have been demoted, and the generals are in danger."
"In the Yan Kingdom, the King of Yan was negligent in his administration, and all matters fell into the hands of Yan Dan. Although there was some benevolent governance, the land thousands of miles east of Beiping in the country was constantly invaded by Beihu, and its foundation was damaged."
His voice was weak and crisp, his words were pure, and he spoke in an orderly manner, trying to express the situation between the two countries in the most concise words, because this was a court meeting, and what they needed was the result.
"How exactly?"
Prime Minister Chang Pingjun's soft words are refined and refined, but they should also be both external and internal.
After the words fell, everyone nodded.
Qin Wangzheng, who was at the head, remained motionless and listened quietly. Although Dun Rui had already submitted these things in documents one after another, it was different when he heard Dun Rui's personal words.
"The State of Zhao is also at the end of its powerful crossbow period."
"First, after the Changping War, King Xiaocheng of Zhao was obsessed with restoring military strength, and ignored the second reform implemented by Pingyuanjun, Lin Xiangru, Zhao She and others, coupled with the existence of Chunpingjun, which made King Wuling of Zhao stay in the country in the past.
No trace remains.”
"Both, the official administration of Zhao State is in a state of turmoil. The talent pool that existed during the years of King Wuling and King Xiaocheng of Zhao State is no longer there. Chaos continues in the Xingcheng Library and Zhongshan Sword Hall. The court is corrupt, conspiracies abound, and there are many capable ministers and famous generals who are marginalized.
.”
"Third, the Zhao State has very few excellent territories. Over the past decades, the Qin State has attacked Zhao and taken away more than a hundred cities. When Wen Xin Hou took charge of the state affairs, King Zhao Xiaocheng also gave Wen Xin Hou Hejian.
Five hundred miles away."
"In order to repay Lord Xinling for saving Zhao, I ceded to Lord Xinling three hundred miles of important towns. In order to deal with the State of Yan, the State of Zhao invited Tiandan from the State of Qi at the cost of fifty-seven cities. All kinds of things are countless."
He said so much in a weak breath. Since it was about Zhao's strategy, he didn't say much about Yan.
After staying in the State of Zhao for a year or two, I naturally had a deep understanding of this. It was precisely because of this that I had the enthusiasm to forge ahead. The State of Zhao had nothing to fear, and it was a good time to destroy Zhao.
"In this way, the country has no good generals and no advisers. As long as the Qin army presses forward and strikes with all its strength, it will be easy to destroy Zhao!"
These are the words of conclusion. I stepped forward and bowed with great generosity in my heart.
Although I have not yet gone to serve as a minister, I have already taken the lead in destroying Zhao. Thinking of the current chaos in Handan, Zhao State, I am more confident in what I say.
"How is Zhao's domestic military strength at the moment?"
Lieutenant of the State Wei Liaozi came out and looked at Shang Qing.
"Zhao's domestic military strength is now divided into three parts. One part consists of Li Mu's 100,000 elite border troops in the north, which has recently been expanded to 150,000. The other part is the national army commanded by the Handan Camp."
"In the last battle of Yi'an, the Handan camp suffered a general loss of troops. It has recovered after entering. In addition to the Zhangshui army in the hinterland, there are about nearly 200,000 troops. The last part is the garrison troops stationed in major cities, which are scattered about about 100,000.
Tens of thousands.”
"Although together, there are about 400,000 troops, but they are disorganized and have insufficient military strength. Originally, the army in the hinterland was in the hands of Lord Chunping. However, recently, Lord Chunping secretly had a good relationship with Guo Kai, which made it even worse."
Analyzing the deployment of military strength, Dunwei will naturally not forget that although the combined military strength of the Zhao State today is around 400,000, this 400,000 combat strength is comparable to the 400,000 combat strength of Lantian Camp.
Moreover, the princes and nobles headed by Chunping Jun previously planned to integrate Zhao's military strength to respond to Qin's offensive. However, Guo Kai took action first, and Chunping Jun was already in deep decline.
"How about Taixing Bakou?"
Wei Liaozi said again that in the last battle, the entrance to the dangerous pass here was still occupied by the Zhao State. If they wanted to attack Zhao again, the Eight Gates of Taixing would be one of the openings.
"One hundred thousand troops stationed!"
He replied weakly.
"..."
"..."
In the Zhangtai Palace, the ministers in the palace were constantly discussing and discussing. No matter what the matter was about the Zhao Kingdom, Shangqing Dunwei could always explain it in detail. Unknowingly, the ministers bowed to him.
At the same time, the current situation of the entire Zhao Kingdom became clear.
