When Zhao Dan, who was far away in Handan, heard the good news, it was already three days later.

There is no doubt that after hearing this news, Zhao Dan was very happy.

From Zhao Dan's perspective, it would be better if Hedong County could be included in his own pocket without a single soldier.

Given that this was a very important event, Zhao Dan quickly summoned several ministers from Zhao State to the main hall of Longtai to discuss the matter.

After hearing the news that Wang Ji was preparing to surrender to Zhao, several important officials of Zhao were also happy.

Zhao Sheng immediately spoke, "Congratulations to the King, congratulations to the King. If Hedong land returns to Zhao now, the hegemony of Jin State will have reappeared on the King, which is comparable to Duke Wen of Jin and Duke Huan of Qi!"

You should know that Zhao has always regarded himself as the heir of Jin, so it can be said to be a very high praise for being comparable to Duke Wen of Jin.

Zhao Bao also spoke: "In the years under the rule of the king, Zhao's national strength has increased and expanded its territory to the outside world. This is a grand occasion that has never been seen since the founding of the Kingdom of Zhao. The king is actually the first wise ruler since the founding of the country!"

As Zhao Dan's number one confidant, Yu Xin was certainly unwilling to let the emperor down and immediately followed: "Now the king defeated Qin Yu Changping first, and without spending one army or another, he got Hedong behind. In my opinion, the one that Fan Sui said to rule the world was not Qin King Ji and Qin, but should be with the king and Zhao!"

Several ministers took action one after another, and the sound of flattery came towards Zhao Dan like a tide, making Zhao Dan feel very comfortable.

That's right, Zhao Dan knew very well that these ministers were indeed flattering themselves.

But is there any problem with this flattery?

Zhao State was indeed under my rule, and reversed the Battle of Changping that led to the final destruction of Zhao State in history!

Zhao State also launched an active attack on Qin State for the first time under my rule!

Under my rule, Zhao State became a truly overlord country for the first time and reached the top of the seven kingdoms!

OK, although it is still tied for first place for the time being...

But is it still far from the day when Qin State becomes the boss or even unify the world?

So, these flatteries are not just about opening their mouths, but about facts that are reasonable and well-founded, with pictures and truth!

These comrades from Zhao State are very realistic when flattering.

Nothing wrong!

I am very satisfied!

After enjoying the flattery for a quarter of an hour, seeing the four ministers in front of him slap the flattery, they began to pull the ball more and more. When they wanted to call Zhao Dan the first king since the creation of the world, Zhao Dan, who was still a little thin, finally coughed dryly and temporarily pulled back the topic of being about to run away.

"You guys, Hedong County has not yet fallen into the hands of Zhao! Let's discuss how to deal with Meng Ao's affairs first."

The situation is now very obvious. As long as Meng Ao is solved, Hedong County will basically be the thing in Zhao's pocket.

But if Meng Ao cannot be solved, it is impossible for Zhao State to take down Hedong County without any effort.

Meng Ao's men had a total of 50,000 county soldiers. Although his combat effectiveness was not too strong, it was for the main force of Zhao.

If Wang Ji rebels directly now, Meng Ao would probably kill Wang Ji with the 50,000 county soldiers in his hands.

After Zhao Dan spoke, the ministers of Zhao also turned off the flattery mode and started the mode of offering suggestions.

Zhao Shengdao: "It is better to ask Wu Xinjun to rush his army westward to advance straight to Hedong. Meng Ao's hands were just a few county soldiers, so he would definitely not be the leader of Wu Xinjun's army."

Zhao Dan couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this.

If I really do this, why would I send Zheng Zhu to be a lobbyist?

To achieve the goal with the least amount of casualties, this is the goal I pursue.

There is no doubt that Zhao Sheng's opinion was quickly denied.

The next person who spoke was Zhao Bao, who said, "Why would you rather ask Zheng Zhu to persuade Meng Ao to surrender?"

When Zhao Dan heard this, his eyes lit up at first, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head and denied Zhao Bao's opinion.

Because Zhao Dan knew very well that Meng Ao, Meng Wu, Meng Yi and Meng Tian, ​​the four tiger generals of the clan, were from Qi, but they were highly valued in Qin, so they were grateful to the Qin royal family and were extremely loyal.

The fact that King Ji of Qin was able to use Meng Ao to defend Hedong after Meng Ao suffered such a big defeat in the Battle of the Wild King shows that King Ji's trust in Meng Ao has not decreased.

Under such circumstances, it is absolutely impossible to persuade Meng Ao to surrender, and it will only expose Zhao's plans.

After Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao's ideas were denied, Yu Xin also came up with an idea.

"King, I just heard that Meng Ao wants to summon 30,000 more county soldiers to guard against the Three Jin coalition?"

Zhao Dan nodded: "That's exactly what it is."

Yu Xin touched his beard and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, the king can order Wang Ji to send a capable assassin to hide among the 30,000 New County soldiers. When the 30,000 New County soldiers enter the camp, they suddenly rise up and assassinate Meng Ao. Once Meng Ao dies, Wang Ji can take over all the county soldiers in a natural way, and such a big thing can be accomplished!"

When Zhao Dan heard this, he felt that it made sense.

After all, to capture the king first, the key point at the moment is actually Meng Ao. As long as this Qin general dies, everything else will be natural.

But Zhao Dan was still a little hesitant.

Zhao Dan understands the truth, but to be honest, assassination is not very suitable for Zhao Dan's appetite.

So Zhao Dan thought for a while and said, "Do you have any other plans?"

Yu Xin noticed Zhao Dan's hesitation and immediately said seriously: "King, now all countries are competing for hegemony, Qin and Zhao are even more powerful enemies to the death. How can the king use that woman's kindness to miss the country's affairs at this moment?"

Lieutenant Li Bo also said: "King, if you do not kill Meng Ao, you will need at least 50,000 casualties to take Hedong. Is it possible that in the king's heart, the lives of these 50,000 Zhao soldiers are not as good as Meng Ao alone?"

Zhao Sheng and Zhao Bao next to them also made persuasions, saying that the meanings inside and outside were similar, what was the point of death for Meng Ao? Anyway, it’s enough for us Zhao people to die!

Zhao Dan couldn't help feeling a little silent when he looked at the four passionate ministers in front of him.

The gentleman's demeanor and the dignified dignity are not the saying that in ancient and pre-Qin periods, everyone was passionate and righteous. If you do this, I always feel that something is wrong!

However, with the persuasion of all the ministers, Zhao Dan could figure it out.

Indeed, if the assassination of a Qin general Meng Ao could avoid the fate of tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers to die in battle, what position did Zhao Dan, as the monarch of Zhao, not do this?

So Zhao Dan took a deep breath and finally made a decision.

"Since that's the case, I'll send a capable Hu Yiwei general to Hedong County to assist Zheng Zhu and Wang Ji in completing this matter! Also, I'll send someone to inform Wu Xinjun immediately. If Meng Ao dies, then Wu Xinjun must lead the army into Hedong County as soon as possible to stabilize the situation in Hedong County!"

Zhao Dan said here and glanced at the four ministers in front of him and said, "The four Qing families should not be idle either. I will immediately take out a charter. I hope that after taking over Hedong County, I will use the least time to completely transform the Hedong County of Qin into Hedong County of Zhao!"

The four ministers present all bowed down and said respectfully: "Now!"
Chapter completed!
