After Hou Sheng left, Yu Xin and Li Bo walked out of the compartment behind the hall.

Bo Li also had a little obvious doubt on his face: "Why did the king hand over this matter to Qi?"

According to the original plan, helping Queen Yan and Prince Ke to seize the throne of Yan Kingdom should have been accomplished by Pang Nuan leading the border troops of the five northern counties.

Zhao Dan smiled and said, "It is beneficial to give it to Qi State. In this way, my soldiers will not shed blood and sacrifice because of this war in which Zhao State will not obtain any land, nor will I pay a lot of money and land to reward the soldiers because of a war in which there is almost no benefit."

Uncle Li seemed to agree with this answer, but immediately asked again: "But the people of Qi may not be able to defeat Gongzi'an and Rong's troops..."

Zhao Dan waved his hand indifferently: "If the people of Qi cannot do it, then I will order Pang Nuan to send troops."

Bo Li said: "But that's three hundred miles of land, king..."

Zhao Dan didn't seem to care: "But only three hundred miles of land, one day, what I want to rule will be the ten thousand miles of the land of China! Li Qing, have a longer-term vision."

Li Bo said: "But Qi will definitely be the enemy of Zhao in the future. If Qi can obtain these 300 miles of land out of thin air, wouldn't it make Qi stronger?"

"No, you are wrong with Li Qing." Zhao Dan said seriously: "If the Qi people want this 300-mile land, they will not only pay for the casualties of soldiers, but also pay for another thing."

Bo Li asked, "Dare you ask what the king is?"

Zhao Dan replied: "The relationship between Qi and Yan will definitely be a grudge for decades!"

“…”

Looking at Li Uncle Li standing in front of him with a speechless look on his face, Zhao Dan couldn't help laughing again.

He suddenly discovered something that the lieutenant may have enough experience in how to take the achievements of school officials and how to govern the people, but he does not seem to know much about these things that are going around in diplomacy.

This is very good.

So Zhao Dan turned his gaze to Yu Xin on the side.

Yu Xin said to Li Bo, who was still a little confused by his side: "If Yan and Qi have a grudge, they will definitely attack each other in the future. In this way, Zhao State can be dispatched or even fueled the fire, which is a good thing for Zhao State!"

Li Bo said: "Yu Qing's words are wrong. If Qi sent troops to support Prince Ke, Queen Yan and Prince Ke should be grateful to Qi. How could they become enemies with Qi because of this?"

Yu Xin said: "If you want Empress Yan and Prince Ke to be grateful to Qi, the premise is that Yan will not cede the land to Qi. Since the land has been ceded, then the two conveniences are the two Qing dynasties, so what's the gratitude to you? Moreover, the matter of ceding land and seeking rank is very unpleasant after all, so once the Empress Yan settles in the position of Empress Dowager, she will definitely find a way to recover the three hundred miles of land!"

Li Bo said: "So Yu Qing thinks that sooner or later, war will break out between Yan and Qi because of these 300 miles of land?"

“That’s right!”

Li Bo shook his head: "I still think that it is better for the people of Qi to obtain these three hundred miles of land. Anyway, I would not dare to take it to Zhao."

Zhao Dan looked at Li Bo, who looked unhappy, and actually understood why this lieutenant was unhappy.

The land between Yan and Qi is the last plain basin where the Yellow River flows into the Bohai Sea, and it is also a piece of land that has been salivating since Zhao State.

If we look at the geographical concepts of later generations, this place will be an excellent seaport.

It is obviously difficult for Li Bo to accept that he would give up such land to the people of Qi.

Zhao Dan said seriously to Li Bo: "Li Qing, you need to understand that the focus of Zhao is now in the West rather than in the East. This is why I hope that the hatred between Yan and Qi is deeper. Only in this way can they restrain each other when I send troops to the West and not unite to attack my Handan!"

Uncle Li was finally convinced.

Compared with a mere 300-mile land, Handan's safety is undoubtedly more important.

Besides, these three hundred miles were not ceded by Zhao State to Qi State, but Yan State to Qi State.

Zhao Dan felt that he had made too much money by being able to use the three hundred miles of land in Yan State to make Yan Hou and Gongzi Ke take power, and to make Yan State and Qi State have no possibility of alliance for at least the next twenty years.

After all, in this era, overlord countries are always the easiest to be the target of being gathered by everyone.

When a tree stands out in the forest, the wind will destroy it.

In order to prevent Zhao from suffering from such a thing as "six countries jointly attacking Qin" or "five countries attacking Qi", in addition to giving Zhao a few more allies, it is more important to make any other country addicted to each other's fighting each other, rather than uniting together to fight against Zhao, a towering tree that began to become increasingly strong and overlooked the entire forest.

Zhao Dan suddenly realized that when he just started traveling through time, he seemed not so sarcastic.

What changed yourself?

Zhao Dan thinks it is the environment.

The environment is forcing people to grow.

In this world where you die or I live, if you don’t become the dead bone under the enemy’s throne, then you can only be more calculating, more scheming, and lay more foreshadowing and hidden threads than the enemy.

A glorious and upright person will always have one end in this era, that is, he will die without a complete corpse.

After understanding this, Zhao Dan can use two words to describe his growth during this period.

It is not only Zhao Dan who grew up, but also Zhao State under Zhao Dan.

For Zhao Dan or Zhao State, the most important goal at the moment is of course the former place of Jin State, and the current Hedong County of Qin State.

For Zhao Kuo, who was fighting bravely on Pujin Pass on the front line of Hedong County, the most important goal at the moment is of course to kill the 2500 Qin army leader in front of him.

"Qin thief, die!" Zhao Kuo exhaled and raised the sword in his hand and slashed it towards Wang Jian's neck.

Wang Jian sneered, and the bronze sword in his hand swept up without hesitation and came towards Zhao Kuo.

"Dang!" Two weapons intersected in the air, making an extremely crisp sound of gold and iron clashing.

Both of them retreated at the same time.

Zhao Kuo's body hit the thick wall battlement heavily, causing his body to surging blood and he felt dizzy for a moment.

A gust of wind sounded in his ears, and Zhao Kuo was shocked and hurriedly stepped out.

"Do!" The bronze long sword in Wang Jian's hand landed heavily on the place where Zhao Kuo was standing just now, with a stance of slashing mountains and seas. The tip of the sword aroused a series of sparks on the thick wall.

Zhao Kuo, who escaped the disaster, snorted: "Despicable!"

Wang Jian spat disagreed and said, "Silly!"

The two of them looked at each other, and both saw the entirely unconcealed murderous intent in each other's eyes.

Beside the two, hundreds or thousands of soldiers from Qin and Zhao were fighting fiercely.

They were like beasts with red eyes, madly sending weapons into the enemy's body in various postures such as thorns, chops, chops, and cuts, and then after ending the enemy's life, they began to look for the next enemy.

As time passed, more and more Zhao soldiers were on the walls, and the Qin army's defense line began to be compressed step by step.

In front of the entire 30,000 elite soldiers of Zhao State, even if Wang Jian used the thousand people in his hands to the extreme, he could only delay for eight days.

In fact, in the past few days, the people of Zhao had no choice but to do anything about the dangerous terrain of Pujin Pass.

Until a large number of siege equipment such as chariots and catapults were made by the Zhao army's military craftsmen, everything was completely different.

The stone bullets worth hundreds of pounds may not be able to shake the city defenses of big cities like Xianyang, but it is more than enough to deal with a small Pujin Pass.

So soon, Wang Jian found that helpers began to appear next to Zhao Kuo.

One, two, three...

When Zhao Kuo led five Zhao soldiers to completely surround Wang Jian, Wang Jian finally felt that he could not continue like this.

"Zhao Bidder, Yeah, fight with you!" Wang Jian roared and rushed towards Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo took a deep breath and stepped backwards in a few steps.

Zhao Kuo was not afraid of death, but was delaying time for the Zhao soldiers around him.

Just one second or two more swords would pierce Wang Jian's armpits, shoulders and back, and his life would be lost with ease.

However, the next moment, Zhao Kuo suddenly noticed a trace of cunning from Wang Jian's eyes that were originally ready to die.

"No, he wants to escape!"

It was too late when Zhao Kuo came to his senses.

Wang Jian suddenly turned around sharply, and the bronze sword in his hand took advantage of the opportunity to sweep across the shoulder of an unprepared Zhao soldier. While cutting off one arm, it brought out a large rain of blood.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Jian took advantage of the situation and rolled out of the encirclement from the gap exposed by the Zhao army soldier.

Of course, even so, Wang Jian had to suffer the injury of being stabbed in two swords on his shoulder and under his armpit.

But these two wounds did not slow down Wang Jian's pace. He rushed to the edge of the wall without any hesitation, jumping from the wall several meters high towards the city, and while jumping, he still made an extremely sharp scream in the air.

"Zhao thief is powerful, retreat!"

Wang Jian's body hit the ground heavily, stirring up snowflakes.

"Damn it!" Zhao Kuo almost subconsciously wanted to jump down with Wang Jian, but stopped again when he rushed to the battlement.

Almost as Wang Jian coughed up blood while getting up from the ground, Zhao Kuo had already taken the long bow behind him into his hand.

The bow is like a full moon, and the sharp arrows point directly to Wang Jian's back.

Wang Jian ran quickly, his steps were as sharp as a leopard, and he ran farther and farther in Zhao Kuo's sight.

"Die!" Zhao Kuo gritted his teeth and said silently in his heart.

Then he decisively released the bowstring.

Arrows flew across the air and came towards Wang Jian's back with a sharp sound.

Just as he was about to succeed, Wang Jian suddenly leaned over and rushed towards the ground beside him.

But Wang Jian's movements obviously became much slower due to injury. The arrows Zhao Kuo shot flashed over Wang Jian's head.

"Bang!" Wang Jian's body hit the ground again, and snowflakes splashed everywhere.

Dead? Zhao Kuo's heart started to beat violently.

After just a few breaths, Wang Jian, with his disheveled hair, stood up again and soon disappeared from Zhao Kuo's sight.

A dirty headscarf was firmly nailed to the snow by arrows. This was the spoils that Zhao Kuo gained from this arrow.

"Qin thief! Next time I meet, I will take the head of your neck!"
