I’m The King Chapter 1080: :East and west (seventy-three)

In Wencheng Hall, the welcome banquet for Zhao Wang Zhao Wuji was finally officially held on the third day after Zhao Wang arrived in Jicheng. To Zao Wouji's comfort, the standard of this welcome banquet was extremely high. All the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the city showed up, Han Wang Gao Yuan personally greeted Zhao Wang out of the palace, and gave Zhao Wang enough face, which finally eased the resentment that Zhao Wuji had accumulated due to the previous neglect.

Needless to say about the extravagance of the banquet, Wang Wudi of the Han Kingdom is stingy, and this is a matter of the face of the king of the country. Those maikos also appeared one by one, and all of this was for one purpose, to let Zao Wou-ki realize how powerful the big man is now.

The banquet is just a prelude, and the theme of the meeting between the two parties is after the banquet.

In the Hall of Qinzheng, there are very few people on both sides who are qualified to sit in this city. Zhao Wuji only brought Zhou Changshou with him. In the last turmoil, there were very few damaged ones left, and all the sons and sons were killed by the rebels. In the end, only Zhou Changshou was the only one who could get on the table, and Zhou Changshou was still because of his In the past few years of the Wei State, it was because of many intersections with the Han army. On the Han side, in addition to Gao Yuan, there were four members of the Council of Political Affairs, Jiang Jiaquan, Yan Shenghao, Li Can, and Wu Qi. Among these four, apart from Wu Qi In addition to the new affiliation, the other three are even more experienced. Needless to say, Jiang Jiaquan, Yan Shenghao brought Hejian County to Gaoyuan back then, and Li Can's voice in the Senate was greatly increased because of the success of Yuanhang Apart from these three people for a long time, only Ye Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Xun Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, are eligible to attend. As for Zao Wou-ki's understanding of the state of Han, Xun Xiu was the one who really had an impact on the national policy of the Han Dynasty. Except.

"Your Highness the King of Han, the state of Zhao is now in dire straits. The rebel Zhao Qi, cutting off Shanggu, Hedong, Jinyang and other places, is plotting against Handan from time to time. However, Da Zhao's army is weak now, and the defense is not enough. Let alone launch a counterattack. , Recover the lost land, Wuji came here this time, just to beg the Han army to turn the tide, help Da Zhao recover the lost land, defeat Zhao Qi, and also ask His Royal Highness Han to recite the deep friendship between the two countries, and be grateful Send troops." In order to defeat Zhao Qi and regain his lost ground, Zhao Wuji made up his mind not to lose face, facing Gao Yuan who was half his age, he begged in a low voice.

"What the king said, our country of Han is also clear, but as far as it is concerned, our country of Han also has something to hide!" Gao Yuan showed sympathy on his face, and spread his hands, with a look of helplessness. /

"Now we, a big man, are using troops against Chu, and we have already invested tens of thousands of troops, but the king also knows that Chu is a big country in the world, with a vast territory and a large population, it is difficult for even Qin to compete with it. Compared with the United States, we still need to prepare a few backup troops to go to Chu State at any time. Now my big Han Beiye is already on the way to Chu State. Adding up all the fronts and backs, we will have more than 200,000 troops in the battle with Chu. The other troops had just finished the battle with Qin, suffered heavy casualties, and were exhausted, so it would be difficult for them to return to the battlefield without a long rest."

"Your Majesty, please take pity on Zhao Qi. Now Zhao Qi is backed by Qin, and he is aggressive. As far as we know, many Qin troops put on their clothes and joined Zhao Qi's army. Both sides We have fought several times, and our Zhao* team has all been defeated. If things go on like this, we will definitely lose. If we are defeated by Zhao Qi, Zhao Guo will directly become a vassal of the Qin people. This is also a great disadvantage to the Han Kingdom!" Zhao Wuji Road.

"I know what your majesty said, but it's true that you can't draw an army right now, so please allow me a few months to allow my troops to rest for a period of time before joining them?" Gao Yuan said in a puzzled manner.

Seeing Gao Yuan's reckless appearance, Zao Wou-ki turned his head, glanced at Zhou Changshou, and coughed twice.

Seeing Zhao Wuji's gesture, Zhou Changshou stood up with a bitter expression on his face, clasped his fists in both hands, and bowed to Gao Yuan: "My lord, as far as the general knows, your country's youth guards did not participate this time. I wonder if I can send one of them to support my Great Zhao?"

Gao Yuan smiled, "General Zhou is very clear about the formation of my Han army. It is true that the Young Guards did not experience a major battle this time, but you must also know that the two cavalry corps of the Young Guards were sent to Jishi County, although the battle there is over, they still have to stay there for a while, in case Qin General Wang Jian suddenly kills a carbine, they don't have to count on it, and the other two infantry armies are even more immobile. They were the ones who defended Jicheng, the capital of the Han King. They were sent out earlier because they had no choice but to do so now. We can’t let the King of the Han be without a single soldier. This army cannot be moved. .”

Seeing Gao Yuan's repeated refusal, Zhao Wang looked sad and lowered his head speechlessly, while Zhou Changshou glanced at Zhao Wang's words, and suddenly said loudly: "If the king is willing to send an army to our great Zhao to help the battle, Then my Da Zhao not only provides all the needs of this army, but also pays the military salary, so you don’t need to worry about it. If there is a death or disability in battle, all the pensions will be exchanged by my Da Zhao Pay in silver."

When Zhou Changshou said this, a light flashed in Gao Yuan's eyes, "General Zhou is serious?"

"Seriously!" Hearing Gao Yuan's tone loosen, Zhao Wuji was overjoyed and said before Zhou Changshou.

Gao Yuan smiled slightly, looked at Zhao Wuji and said, "Does Your Majesty know the amount of salary and pension for my Han army?"

Zhao Wou-ki turned his head to look at Zhou Changshou, Zhou Changshou said a few numbers in a low voice, and Zhao Wou-ki's face suddenly became extremely exciting,

"This, so tall?" He eats and eats.

"Yes, it is a bit high, but this is also the reason why my Han army is invincible on the battlefield, and the soldiers are not afraid of death. Because the soldiers can't have no worries, how can they not hesitate How about fighting with your life for my big man? If the king is in trouble, you don't have to force it." Gao Yuan said.

"Here, I'll give it!" Zhao Wou-ki gritted his teeth and said.

"Ye Zhen, can we still draw out that army now?" Gao Yuan turned around and looked at Ye Zhong, the minister of the Ministry of War.

Ye Zhong stood up and said, "Go back to the king, all our armies are still fighting on the front line except those who have been repaired, or the third and fourth armies of the Young Guards Corps cannot catch up in time. He came back, so there is really no extra army to be dispatched, although Zhao Guo is willing to pay the money, but the minister really has no soldiers to send!"

"There is no way to think about it?" Gao Yuan asked.

"There is really no way." Ye Chong spread his hands, shrugged, and looked at Gao Yuan with an apologetic face.

"Your Majesty, five cities by the Yishui River!" Zhou Changshou suddenly shouted.

"Five cities by the Yishui River?" Gao Yuan had a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Yes, if the Dahan is willing to send troops, my Dazhao will permanently assign the five cities along the Yishui River to the Dahan Kingdom, and will also issue a document to the world to officially recognize that Daijun belongs to the Dahan. There is no longer any territorial claim." Zhou Changshou said with certainty.

Zhao Wou-ki opened his mouth, but finally did not speak, and lowered his head in pain.

The land of Daijun was declared independent when Zilan was in Zilan. Later, after Zilan died, his son Zhao Yong led Daijun to defect to the Han Kingdom, but Zhao Guo never acknowledged this. On the territory map of Dazhao , still regards Daijun as its own territory, and now Daijun is controlled by Zhao Qi, but Qin Lei still leads an army to resist tenaciously in Hecheng. Nails.

Now that Zhou Changshou said so, Daijun will separate Ming Zhengyan from Zhao State and officially become the territory of the Han Dynasty without any disputes.

"Send troops, I will send troops!" Gao Yuan ignored Ye Zhong's perplexed expression, and jumped up, "If there are no soldiers, I will squeeze them out if I squeeze. Ye Shangshu?"

Ye Zhong still looked embarrassed, and Jiang Jiaquan, who had been sitting on the side without speaking, suddenly said slowly: "Your Majesty, He Dayou, a member of the Jishi County Councilor, and his family will go to visit you as a minister tomorrow." /

Hearing Jiang Jiaquan's words, Gao Yuan's eyes lit up, "You mean Gu Li? Isn't she seriously injured?"

"Your Majesty, it has been several months since she was injured. This girl's ability to recover is amazing. After arriving in Jicheng, Ke Yuanshan and Qiu Debao turned into battle, and now they are alive and kicking again. Why don't you use her as a general? Of the tens of thousands of herdsmen who set foot on Chujishi County without hesitation to fight the Qin army, there are still five thousand who have been recruited and have not dispersed." Jiang Jiaquan said.

"A few herdsmen? And a woman as their general?" Zao Wou-ki shook his head like a rattle.

"Your Majesty, don't underestimate women." Jiang Jiaquan said with a smile: "I think more than half of the cavalry in the Han Kingdom were trained by Princess Helan, and this Guli is not only fierce in combat, but also makes many men feel free. It's not as good as it is, because women are careful, and they have no flaws to train when fighting. Back then on the prairie, Gu Li led these herdsmen, making Qin General Li Xin helpless. Is it shoulder to shoulder?"

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "That's right. In my big man, it's not uncommon for a woman to be an official and a general. Moreover, Gu Li is not only brave in battle, but also has a strategy in her chest. She is really a rare general. Since She has recovered from her injuries, so she just sent her to lead the army. This is also your luck, Your Majesty. If Gu Li has not recovered, it will be really difficult for me to send out an army in a short time! That's it. , Ye Zhong, after you go down, you pass an order to Gu Li, let her prepare and lead the army to go out."

"I obey!" Ye Zhong said loudly.

Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion, Zhao Wang knew that he was powerless to change this, so he could only nod his head in agreement. Seeing Zhao Wang nodding, Jiang Jiaquan stood up and said, "In this case, the Han and Zhao parties reached an agreement conveniently. Regarding the content of the agreement, we still need to sign a formal document to finalize it."

He smiled like a cunning fox, seeing his prey fall into his trap and was very proud. (To be continued)
