As soon as Bo Li said this, all the Zhao kings and ministers present, including Zhao Dan, were stunned.

Attacking Qin?

Take advantage of this time to attack Qin?

I have to say that if you think about it carefully, this idea seems to be very promising!

Zhao Dan suddenly felt energetic and hurriedly said to Bo Li: "Li Qing, please tell me your opinion."

Several other ministers of Zhao also focused their attention on Li Bo.

Although Lieutenant Lie has been in office for half a year, he has always been considered relatively low-key among the six ministers.

Moreover, since Li Bo has never shown a relatively obvious tendency, both the public clans and the common people have adopted a friendly attitude towards Li Bo.

In this case, although Li Bo has a sense of existence, it does not involve the struggle between the two factions, so it does not have a high sense of existence.

But today it is different. The unexpected opinion made by Lieutenant Zhao, who has rarely stood in the center of the stage for half a year, became the focus of everyone's attention.

Bo Li seemed a little uncomfortable with this situation. He straightened his body a little straightened and said, "King, although Qin is about to launch a large army to move south, Chu is not a weak person. Moreover, the two southeastern counties of Qin are the former capitals of Chu, and their status is extremely important, so there must be a fierce battle between Qin and Chu. If the king can send troops to attack the Hedong County of Qin at this time, he will definitely be able to defeat it in one fell swoop. In this way, Zhao's hegemony can be accomplished!"

After Li Bo said this, all the Zhao monarchs and ministers present suddenly lit up their eyes.

Hedong County, also known as Hedong Land and Hedong Plain, but no matter which title is good, one thing that must be admitted is that it is a good place.

The three ancient emperors, Yao, Shun and Yu, all established their own capitals in the Hedong Plain.

The plain east of the Yellow River and west of the Taihang Mountains is not only one of the cradles of Chinese civilization, but also the base camp of the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. The capital of Jin Yi and Quwo are all here, and the capital of Wei, Anyi, after the three families divided Jin, and Pingyang, the capital of South Korea, is also here.

It was from here that the State of Jin made its fortune, and gradually occupied the entire Taihang Mountains. Finally, the Yellow River, the tiger lies in Taihang, and the powerful, turning the entire history of the Spring and Autumn Period into a history of the dominance of the State of Jin.

When the three families divided Jin, most of the Hedong land was assigned to the Wei Kingdom, and only a small area like Pingyang City was owned by South Korea because it was the location of the capital and ancestral temples of South Korea.

As time passed, the Wei State, which was invincible in the early years of the Warring States Period, gradually declined. Qin State, which was originally suppressed by Wei State, gradually increased its strength after Shang Yang's reforms and began a counterattack against Wei State.

From 366 BC to 329 BC, after a full thirty-seven years, the struggle of the three Qin monarchs, Qin recovered the Hexi land, which was taken away by Wei's famous general Wu Qi, from the hands of Wei, and the troops headed straight to the Hedong land, which was separated by a river.

But even so, Qin did not immediately seize Hedong, but first took Bashu and fought two extraordinary battles with Chu. It was not until Qin King Ji came to power that he finally began to attack Hedong.

The Qin generals responsible for seizing Hedong were extremely young at that time and were supported by Bang Wei Ran, then prime minister of Qin.

This young Qin general, his name is Bai Qi.

In 293 BC, Bai Qi defeated and wiped out 240,000 Wei and Han coalition forces in the Battle of Yique with 150,000 Qin troops, completing a miraculous performance, which severely defeated Wei and Han in one battle, and took advantage of the victory to pursue the entire Hedong area in the following three years.

It took Qin a full thirty-seven years to recapture Hexi, but it took only three years to occupy Hedong!

Although all this is not related to the fact that Qin State is no longer the same as before, Bai Qi's amazing command art and military talent are the most important factors.

The old nest of Jin State, which once suppressed Qin State for a whole Spring and Autumn Period, fell into the hands of the Qin people.

The different destinies of Qin and Jin countries can be said to be thirty years from Hedong and thirty years from Hexi, which is touching.

Since then, Hedongdi has become the Hedong County of Qin, and it has been thirty-one years.

Moreover, the importance of Hedong is not only reflected in these historical significances.

Hedong is a plain with fertile land and a large population. It is ranked among the three major grain-producing areas of the Qin State, along with Bashu and Guanzhong.

If Zhao State can take over Hedong, then the population and food problems that have always plagued Zhao State can be greatly alleviated or even completely resolved. It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhao State's war potential is directly doubled.

In addition, once Zhao takes over Hedong territory, the entire Qin Hanlu Channel will be deterred by Zhao's military front. Zhao can easily move south from Hedong territory to attack the Huhan Channel, completely blocking the Qin route from Hangu Guandong with its geographical advantages.

That's right, the rich and handsome Jin State in the Spring and Autumn Period blocked Qin State in Guanzhong for hundreds of years. Of course, Zhao State could do what Jin State could do.

The more Zhao Dan thought about it, the more excited he became. The more he looked at Uncle Li who made this suggestion in front of him, the more he liked him. He wanted to jump up and hug Uncle Li and kiss him a few times.

Why is this idea so great?

The other ministers of Zhao State were all excited, and they obviously thought of going with Zhao Dan.

Of course, there are also those who sing the opposite tune. For example, Lou Chang was the first to raise a question: "Now the Huns are rampant in the north, and Handan also needs heavy troops to protect it. It seems inappropriate to rashly attack Hedong County, Qin State at this moment."

As soon as Lou Chang finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why isn't it good? Because Lou Chang suddenly found that the people around him looked at him with very bad eyes.

The person who was the first to refute was not someone else, but Zhao Sheng, who should have been the eldest brother Lou Chang.

Zhao Sheng waved his hand and said to Lou Chang in a very unhappy tone: "This is wrong for doctors! We have to send troops to wait until the fierce battle between Qin and Chu, and at least it will be sent to the next spring. By then, the Huns may have been defeated and retreated long ago. What are the concerns?"

Although the Han Dynasty in later generations was beaten by the Huns so hard that it could not be found in the north, the emperors of the Han Dynasty had to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, in the Warring States Period, fear of the northern nomadic peoples did not exist at all.

You can take a look at several nomadic peoples in the north during the Warring States Period.

Yiqu? Yiqu was destroyed by Qin State, and its territory back then is now called Shangjun of Qin State.

Lin Hu, Lou Fan? Lin Hu now surrendered to Zhao State, and Lou Fan simply became a Zhao State. Their territory is now called the five northern counties of Zhao State.

Donghu? That was the defeated general of Yan State, the last strong competitor of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period. Almost half of Yan State's current territory was seized from Donghu.

Qin, Zhao, and Yan, three countries that border the northern nomadic peoples, all beat their northern horse-riding neighbors without exception.

Nomad people? That's nothing!
