Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 161 Gathering Intelligence
"Is that what most people think?".Zhao Wuming didn't expect that people in the world would think like this at this time.Do you know that Qi State used Sun Bin as its military adviser this time? .Thinking of this, I suddenly realized.How many people know Sun Bin today? .Referring to the history of various countries, they came to the conclusion that Wei State is more dominant, so it is not surprising to have this kind of thinking.

Xing Pingjun looked at Zhao Wuming and felt that it was because he was too young.That's why it was recklessly deduced that Qi State would definitely win this battle, but at this time Wei State had a greater chance of winning.

Zhao Wuming looked into Mr. Xingping's gaze, thought of a question, and asked him again: "Dare to ask uncle, once Wei wins, what kind of situation will Zhao and South Korea face?"

"Six Kingdoms Attack Wei".Xingping Jun blurted out without thinking.

Zhao Wuming was taken aback for a moment, he had never expected such a situation to arise: "Why did the Six Kingdoms attack Wei?".

"Once Qi is defeated, there will be no country in the world that can check and balance Wei. At that time, the other six countries are weak, and only the alliance of six countries can survive by attacking Wei."Xingping Jun explained to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming pondered in his heart, feeling that such a situation might indeed happen.According to historical records, the Six Kingdoms' attack on Qi and the Six Kingdoms' attack on Qin occurred under such circumstances? .

Mr. Xingping saw Zhao Wuming pondering, and continued to analyze to him: "If the six countries do not form an alliance, Wei will annex the other six countries one by one. Therefore, the six countries of Qi, Yan, Chu, Han, Qin, and Zhao have to unite to weaken Wei." .

"Once the Six Kingdoms attack Wei, what will my uncle think will be the result?".Zhao Wuming asked Xingping Jun again.

Mr. Xingping did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought. Obviously, this question is not so easy to explain: "Wei will be defeated with one enemy and six. At the same time, Qin will take the opportunity to seize Hexi and Shangjun, and rise together with Qi. At that time, South Korea and Zhao could survive, and Chu could feel at ease."

"In this way, the state of Wei has been weakened. The land of the three Jins has lost its barrier. Will Zhao, Wei, and Han become Qi and Qin and attack each other's chess pieces?".Zhao Wuming thought of the other time and space he was in, about the records of the late Warring States period, and asked Xingping Jun.

Mr. Xingping was silent, and looked at Zhao Wuming for a long time, his eyes were full of determination: "If it reaches that point, I don't know whether Wei and South Korea will become chess pieces of Qi and Qin."After finishing speaking, he paused: "But all I know is that we Zhao people are full of blood and courage. Once the sky does not let us live, we dare to fight against the sky. What's more, Qi and Qin country, these mortals".

"Is there no way to solve the crisis?".Zhao Wuming was shocked when he heard Mr. Xingping's words, and asked subconsciously.

Mr. Xingping thought about it again, and seemed to think of something for a long time: "If we can annex Zhongshan, our country, Zhao, can jump up and sit on an equal footing with Qi and Qin."

"Zhongshan country?".Hearing this name again, Zhao Wuming couldn't help feeling a little bit of enlightenment in his heart.Maybe if Zhongshan is not destroyed, Zhao will not be able to station troops in the north.Then I can't form an alliance with Yan, and I can't do my best to send troops to Donghu.

Mr. Xingping thought of the difficulty inside, and couldn't help sighing: "Difficult, the power of Zhongshan Kingdom is not inferior to our country's strength before losing Handan. At this time, wanting to annex Zhongshan Kingdom is no less than a fool's dream."

"Whether it is a dream or not, there is some hope after all, which is good."Zhao Wuming deepened the image of Zhongshan Kingdom in his mind.

Mr. Xingping glanced at the tent inadvertently, and suddenly smiled: "I'm old, why don't I just talk to you about irrelevant things. It's getting late at this time, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I'd better go back first."

"Uncle is leaving?"Zhao Wuming also reacted to Xingping Jun's laughter, and asked him quickly.

Xingping Jun nodded slowly.

"Since uncle insists on leaving, it is inconvenient for the younger generation to force him to stay."Zhao Wuming thought for a while, thinking of being in Xindu Palace that day, Zhao Zhong's attitude was no longer strong: "Uncle, please."

Xingping Jun turned around and walked out of the tent, Zhao Wuming followed and saw him off.

Zhao Chuan and Zhao Jia brought the carriage, and at some point they had already stood outside the tent.Seeing Mr. Xingping coming out, Zhao Chuan quickly opened the door of the carriage and helped Mr. Xingping into the carriage.

After Zhao Jia saw Zhao Chuan helping Mr. Xingping go in, he bowed to Zhao Wuming and said, "Fourth son, see you someday."

"Walk slowly, and please take care of Mr. Xingping."Zhao Wuming returned the salute to Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia smiled: "Mr. Xingping is my grandfather, and it is only natural that he takes care of him as a grandson."

Zhao Wuming smiled and was speechless.Zhao Jia turned around and walked into the carriage. Seeing that the three of them were seated inside, the coachman waved his whip.The carriage galloped away from the camp.

Seeing the carriage drifting away, Zhao Wuming turned his eyes to Sun Buer: "I have to go back to Seoul, you should be careful here, no matter who comes, don't let him into the tent."

"promise".Although he didn't understand why Zhao Wuming ordered him so solemnly, Sun Buer still bowed to accept the order.

Zhao Wuming saw that Sun Buer took the order, he turned around and walked into the tent with satisfaction.

With a thought, the door of light slowly opened.Zhao Wuming took the scroll of bamboo slips and walked slowly inside.

In the Government Affairs Office of the City Lord's Mansion in Seoul, Zhao Wuming put the bamboo slips in his hand on the case table, and shouted to the outside: "Come here!"

"Subordinates are in".Two personal guards standing outside came in and bowed to Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming looked at the two of them, and directly ordered them: "The prime minister, the general, the military adviser and others come to discuss government affairs."

"promise".The two guards bowed to accept the order, then turned around and walked outside.

Not long after the sound of footsteps came, Xiao He, Han Xin, Zhang Liang and others filed in, and when they saw Zhao Wuming, he bowed and said, "See my lord."

"I'm sorry for your troubles during the time when I'm not alone. I don't know if my city is going well during this time."Zhao Wuming looked at Xiao He and the others, and asked them.

Xiao He bowed to Zhao Wuming, and replied with a bow: "During the time my lord is away, I have made a large-scale construction and survey of the terrain in Seoul. I have already planned the locations of the county towns, county towns, and passes among the four counties in the southeast, north, and west. Now all kinds of material The food, food, and manpower are all arranged properly. The minister ordered Yu Wenkai to go on an inspection tour and do a final review, so he was unable to come."

"The army is still in the process of reorganization, counting the battle damage, eliminating the disabled, recruiting young and strong, and training sergeants. Therefore, we have not found out in detail how many troops we have in Seoul at this time."Han Xin took Xiao He's words and told Zhao Wuming about the military affairs: "But I can roughly calculate that the servant army plus the regular army in the city will have a strength of about 60."

"60 troops".Zhao Wuming sketched in his mind the scene when the 60 troops were assembled, and he couldn't help but feel a little short of breath.Zhao Yu's Anyang soldiers were only 20, and Zhao Fan's Daijun soldiers were only 40.The total force of the two can be combined to compete with him. If he can suppress the situation with a large army, it will be extremely wonderful.

Seeing that Xiao He and Han Xin had finished speaking, Shen Wansan took their words and reported to Zhao Wuming: "When the lord left, he ordered the minister to rectify the market, which has begun to bear fruit."

"tell me the story".Shen Wansan's words interrupted Zhao Wuming's thoughts, and then he looked at Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansan thought for a while, and organized the words in his mind: "Now the tax has been unified into copper coins, and the behavior of bartering has been banned. Copper coins are unimpeded within our sphere of influence in Seoul. It provides favorable conditions for commercial activities in the city. Conditions. At the same time, the prime minister issued a decree based on the fate of the prime minister’s mansion, encouraging the construction of new workshops and encouraging the common people to do business. There were many rich and powerful households in the city who had fled from the disaster and had nothing to do. According to the statistics of the minister, during the period of the Lord's absence, hundreds of workshops and a thousand caravans were built."

"Caravan?".Zhao Wuming suddenly thought of Nie Qiu, and couldn't help asking in a low voice.

Shen Wansan explained to Zhao Wuming: "Large caravans have hundreds of people, and small caravans have dozens of people."

"No, if you see someone coming with a personal guard sword, you should inform Yu Gu immediately."Zhao Wuming gave orders to Shen Wansan and the others.

Shen Wansan and the others bowed and said, "No."

"Could it be that the lord gave the sword of the personal guard to others as a gift?"Zhang Liang asked Zhao Wuming.

Zhao Wuming nodded slowly, and explained Nie Chou's matter to several people: "Some time ago, I was hunting alone in Zhao Guoxin...".

Listening to Zhao Wuming's slow narration of the hunting that day, Zhang Liang and others gradually fell into deep thought.

After Zhao Wuming finished speaking, Huo Qubing's heart was full of anger, but he calmed down when he thought of the situation he was facing at this time: "My lord is actually so dangerous in Zhao country, it seems that I need to speed up my pace when I wait to go south. A few would be nice."

"Quicken your pace? My lord is already in dire straits in Zhao, so how can I have time to wait for you to arrange it calmly. I, Fan Kui, suggest that we gather an army at this time and go south with all our strength. After Lou Fan is destroyed, the army will gather at the northern border of Zhao. If the lord is here If the state of Zhao loses a single hair, we will seize his Dai County, destroy his capital, and surround Handan with soldiers, so that they will feel the pain of thousands of arrows piercing their hearts."Fan Kuai's fiery temper came up, so many arrangements were made, and he wished he could send his troops south to avenge Zhao Wuming immediately.

Chen Ping looked at Fan Kui's happy words, and joked with him with a smile: "General Fan's tricks are unparalleled, if the lord follows General Fan's words, I'm afraid I think others own Seoul."

"Chen Ping, you..."Fan Kuai was furious, but could not refute.After all, none of these four enemies is easy to provoke.If you really go south regardless of everything, once the battle goes wrong.How could the Xiongnu, Donghu, Ding Ling, and Linhu not take advantage of it.The great situation at that time will be ruined once.

Seeing Fan Kui's angry look, everyone couldn't help smiling.Zhao Wuming rescued him: "General Fan is also kind, although Gu seems to be in danger, but he has [-] personal guards who can come to help at any time, plus the incense of big brother Zhao Yu, Captain Xue Qian, and Zhao Guogong's family." Love. Compared with the power of Zhao Yu and Zhao Fan, it is not inferior. So General Fan can rest assured that he will keep an eye on Lou Fan and act according to the opportunity."

"Lou trouble?".Listening to Zhao Wuming's words, Zhang Liang gradually fell into deep thought.Only by taking down Lou Fan as soon as possible can we support the lord.Only when the prince of Zhao ascended to the throne and stationed troops in the north to contain Linhu, could Seoul have no distractions, unite with Yan, and fight Donghu decisively.If not, I am afraid that Seoul will become a dead end, and the powerful enemy will be unable to move.Once the Xiongnu or Donghu free up their hands, Seoul will surely perish.
