Chapter 637 The widow is ready to move the capital!

Habits are a terrible thing.

When people just get something, they always hold it in their palms as if they have a treasure, and they will be with this treasure every day.

But as long as you get used to the existence of this thing, it will immediately turn from a treasure into a common thing, or even into a burden and abandonable object.

This is why men and women who have just established a romantic relationship will be inseparable, but middle-aged men believe that getting promoted and getting rich and having a wife is the three major joys in life.

This is also why when a baby comes out of a swagger, his or her parents take good care of him or her, but when he or she grows up, he or she will start to scold or even educate him or her.

If you get used to it, it will not be so precious.

For the people of Zhao, victory is such a common news, just as the people of Zhao are always used to raising their heads high no matter which country they go to.

Since the Battle of Changping, too many victories have spoiled the people of Zhao.

Those people in Handan City who were once ecstatic about the victory of the Battle of Changping now only said lightly after hearing the good news from the grassland, and then scolded their wives who should scold their wives and beat their children. There was no surprise or surprise expression at all.

In a sense, this is also a mentality that should be useful to a great country and a national who was the most powerful country at that time.

I am the best in the world. What's so strange about winning you bastards? If you can't win, that's the news.

Compared with the king and minister of Zhao who were completely accustomed to victory, the King of Wei, who was far away in Taoyi, was obviously not fully accustomed to the fact that the State of Wei could win consecutive battles. Therefore, after receiving the news that Shouchun was broken, the smile on King of Wei never stopped.

Since the First World War last year, the Huaibei land of Chu has been almost completely divided by Wei and Zhao, and only a small part of the land that is near the sea is still in the hands of the Chu people.

Because the people of Zhao were blocking the east, the King of Wei naturally set his main target south of the Huai River in this battle against Chu.

If you want to conquer the south of the Huai River, then Yandu Shouchun, which is only one river from Xiacai, is a place that must be taken.

The Han-Wei coalition forces first fought a great battle with the Chu army in Pingyu and defeated the Chu army very hard. After the Koreans chose to attack the current Chu capital Xicheng in the southwest, while the Wei people sent troops to the southeast and headed towards Shouchun.

It has to be said that although the Chu State has suffered repeated defeats in recent years, when the Wei army crossed the river and surrounded and attacked Shouchun, it still encountered very tenacious resistance.

It took several months for the 150,000 troops of Wei State to spend almost half of the spring and the whole summer under Shouchun City, and then they fought Shouchun down.

The Koreans encountered very tenacious resistance under Xicheng, and there has been no progress yet.

This is actually because the main force of the Chu army retreated to Xicheng after the defeat rather than Shouchun, but the King of Wei didn't care about these things at all.

The fall of Shouchun means that the throats of the Yingdu Xicheng of Chu State and the vast southeast Wuyue region were pinched by the Wei people. All the Wei king needed to do was to continue to march eastward and take down the Jiujiang County and Kuaiji County of the Chu State.

If Jiujiang County and Kuaiji County can be taken down, the territory of Wei will instantly double, even if it is no less than the territory of the overlord Wei State at its heyday.

More importantly, the overlord Wei State at that time was actually divided into three parts: Hedong, Central Plains and Zhongshan, which made the overlord Wei State feel that it was powerful and could not be gathered together.

But now the territory of the Wei Kingdom is a complete piece, and all the forces can be gathered together to fight, which is undoubtedly much more efficient.

Wei State has suffered enough of the enclave.

As long as Jiujiang County and Kuaiji County can be taken down, the Wei Kingdom will truly have the capital and confidence to dominate.

At that time, King Wei was the perfect king of Zhongxing!

When he thought of this, King Wei couldn't help feeling a little fluttering.

Humph, with so many people coming, there have always been people who think that I am not a wise ruler. They all say that I am not as good as Wei Wuji at all. Some people even say that I am unjustly killing Wei Wuji, which is to destroy the Great Wall of Wei.

It's just a fucking fart!

I will soon make the whole world understand that not only is I no worse than Wei Wuji, but I am also stronger than all the previous kings of Wei in history!

Duan Ganzi, the prime minister of Wei, naturally had a thorough understanding of the thoughts of King Wei.

Since he became Xiangbang, Duan Ganzi's body shape has quickly become swelling at a speed visible to the naked eye. He has gradually evolved from a middle-aged man with a normal figure to a fat man, and he will soon become an absolute fat man.

At this moment, this fat man Duan Ganzi was bowing to the King of Wei with a smile on his face and said, "The king is wise and powerful, and leads the Wei Kingdom to forge ahead and strive for progress. Now he can make such a great achievement. Once the two counties of Jiujiang and Kuaiji are taken, the king will definitely become the number one wise ruler in the history of the Wei Kingdom under the historian's writing!"

When King Wei heard Duan Ganzi's words, he finally couldn't help laughing proudly.

You must have fun in life.

But as he smiled, King Wei suddenly remembered something again and asked Duan Ganzi: "By the way, what's going on in Zhao State now?"

Although the outside world's evaluation of King Wei is a mediocre king, mediocrity does not mean laziness. King Wei has been devoted to the various matters of the battle against Chu in the south these days, and he really doesn't know much about the war between Zhao State in the north.

Duan Ganzi replied: "I heard that Yan State has ceded cities such as Wuyang and Fenmen in exchange for peace between Yan and Zhao, and the Xiongnu side has been defeated by Lian Po."

When King Wei heard this, he couldn't help but snorted and said, "This Zhao Dan is so lucky!"

I don’t know when it started, but King Wei no longer called King Zhao, but called him Zhao Dan’s name directly.

For King Wei, Zhao Dan is just a person who has been lucky. If King Wei is asked to sit in Zhao Dan's position, then King Wei will definitely be able to do better than Zhao Dan!

As soon as he heard the news of Zhao Dan's victory, King Wei was not so happy.

Now that Wei wants to dominate, his biggest opponent is Zhao, the current leader of the Three Jin Alliance. If Zhao continues to win, it will be difficult for Wei to catch up with Zhao.

King Wei was silent for a while and suddenly said, "I am going to move the capital, but I wonder what Duan Qing thinks?"

Duan Ganzi was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Why did the king say this?"

Moving the capital is definitely a troublesome thing.

Generally speaking, there are two types of capital migration: passive capital migration and active capital migration.

Passive migration of the capital is easy to understand. It means that the capital is afraid of being beaten by the enemy or the capital is occupied and has to be moved. That was the case when Chu State moved from Yingdu to Chencheng, and then from Chencheng to Xicheng.

The active relocation of the capital was to achieve the country's strategic goals. For example, in order to manage the Central Plains, Zhao took the initiative to move the capital from Jinyang to Zhongmu, and then moved from Zhongmu to the current Handan.

Which is the current capital of King Wei? Duan Ganzi actually wants to know the answer.

King Wei coughed and said to Duan Ganzi: "Duan Qing, that Zhao Dan is an ambitious man. Once I win this battle, Zhao Dan will definitely not be able to ignore it. Maybe he will send troops to attack me. Although Taoyi is large and prosperous, it is only a few days away from Handan, so it is still a bit too dangerous."

Duan Ganzi understood this way.

To put it bluntly, King Wei was still very afraid of the pressure on Zhao State.

The tragic situation of Daliang City being flooded back then is still vivid in my mind. Although the flood in the Daliang City ruins have long dissipated, they have become a ghost town.

After such a tragic experience, King Wei actually didn't want to face the situation of being besieged by Zhao's army again.

With the Zhao army's reputation as the invincible battle, it really made the King of Wei unable to sleep well when he was so close to Zhao.

Duan Ganzi hesitated for a moment and said, "King, now Zhao and Wei are in the alliance of the Three Jins. I think that King Zhao will not easily defeat the alliance to attack Wei, right? And if the king wants to move the capital, where will he move?"

King Wei snorted and said, "Zhao Dan is simply a trustless and unrighteous person, otherwise he would not have attacked me so many times in succession! I have already thought about it. After taking Jiujiang and Kuaiji in this battle, I will move the capital to Shouchun!"

"Shouchun?" Duan Ganzi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. After a while, he came to his senses and suddenly felt that this idea seemed to be good.

First of all, Shouchun, as the Yandu (a patron capital) of Chu, is a big city within the Chu state, and there are also palace cities and palaces for the king to live in.

So in terms of hardware facilities, Shouchun is qualified. Just repair it a little and change the decoration style.

Secondly, Shouchun is located south of the Huai River, thousands of miles away from the capital of Zhao State and the border between Wei and Zhao State. It is much more difficult for the Zhao State people to fight to Shouchun than to fight to Taoyi.

In comparison, it is very convenient for the Chu people to fight Shouchun, but will the Wei State be afraid of Chu State now?

Having said that, Duan Ganzi couldn't help but say after thinking about it: "But if the king moved the capital to Shouchun, will the difficulty of managing the Central Plains be increased?"

King Wei waved his hand impatiently and said, "What's the difficulty? The capital of Qin is far away in Guanzhong. He needs to pass through such a steep place as the Shuhan Pass to the east. I have never seen any difficulty. Is it all the way from Shouchun to the north, and I have to cross a few rivers at most. Is this more difficult than the Qin State?"

King Wei said everything to this, so Duan Ganzi naturally did not dare to talk nonsense and hurriedly said, "What the king said is so true. I will go down and start preparing for various things."

King Wei thought for a while and said, "You can find a reliable person to let go and let the news be heard. I will announce this news again when the court is on New Year's Day. Also, you will also send someone to take over and repair the palace city as soon as possible, and strive to complete it within two years!"

The current political arena of Wei State is completely dominated by King Wei and Duan Ganzi. As long as these two people make a decision, basically no one in Wei State can object.

After a pause, King Wei called Duan Ganzi again, who was about to leave: "By the way, you will send a few envoys to Xianyang and have some contact with the Qin people!"

Duan Ganzi was stunned when he heard this and said, "Master, is it that he wants to fight against Qin against Zhao?"

King Wei shook his head and said in a deep voice: "It's not the time yet, but it's only a matter of time to resist Zhao. It's better to have fun with the Qin people first, so go."

Failure makes people grow. After the last failure of Qin to resist Zhao, King Wei no longer was so impatient to defeat Zhao State in one fell swoop.

But even so, after Duan Ganzi left, King Wei couldn't help but slam his fist heavily on the table in front of him, and said in a voice that only he could hear.
