A few days later, Zhao Dan in Handan met Mao Sui who came to report his life.

To be honest, Zhao Dan was in a very good mood at this time.

Because over the past few days, the envoys from Zhao Dan sent to the other five countries have returned to Handan one after another, and each envoy brought back news that satisfied Zhao Dan.

South Korea and Chu have agreed to Zhao Dan's plan to jointly divide Wei, and have also agreed to the conditions proposed by Zhao Dan.

According to this division plan, by that time, Zhao State could occupy at least about 45% of the Wei State's land and more than half of the Wei State's population, which could definitely be said to be a perfect harvest.

From the perspective of the entire diplomatic environment, the diplomatic encirclement created by Zhao Dan against Duan Ganzi has also been fully formed, and no country will lend a helping hand to Duan Ganzi when the war begins.

But as the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy will never be defeated, so what Zhao Dan wants to know from Mao Sui now is all the specific situations about Duan Ganzi from Taoyi City.

"What's the situation?" Zhao Dan asked Mao Sui.

Mao Sui did not dare to neglect and said to Zhao Dan respectfully: "Go back to the king, Duan Ganzi obviously believed the king's promise and felt that the king would help him solve Tian Chong and let him control the Wei Kingdom at that time."

Zhao Dan asked, "Did he have no doubts?"

Mao Sui said: "Duan Ganzi did have some doubts, but he suspected that poisoning King Wei was caused by Hu Yiwei. As for the conditions offered by the king, he obviously thought that it was just the king who wanted to take advantage of the situation and did not do much."

Zhao Dan pulled the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this, and showed a smile, and said to Mao Sui: "No, very good. This time you did a good job."

Yes, the reason why Zhao Dan specially sent Mao Sui to ask Duan Ganzi to propose a lot of decent conditions and discuss a deal with Duan Ganzi was of course not because he wanted to really make such a deal with Duan Ganzi.

What Zhao Dan hopes to do is very simple, that is, to stabilize Duan Ganzi first, so that Duan Ganzi will not act rashly this winter to cause any messy accidents, which will lead to the entire situation being out of Zhao Dan's control.

As soon as it was spring, Zhao Dan led the coalition forces of various countries to march towards Taoyi, even if Duan Ganzi knew that he had been fooled by Zhao Dan, he had no choice but to face the cruel fate.

From the beginning, Duan Ganzi was just a chess piece, and Zhao Dan used it to leverage the situation in Wei State and even the entire continent, and finally successfully included Wei State in the chess piece in Zhao State's bag.

Zhao Dan thought about it and seemed a little worried, so he said to Mao Sui: "You will tell me about Duan Ganzi's behavior over the past few days."

Mao Sui nodded and said to Zhao Dan: "By the king, because the whole world believes that Duan Ganzi poisoned the King of Wei, especially many ministers in Wei have witnessed it with their own eyes. Therefore, in Wei, there have always been many ministers loyal to the royal family who refused to recognize the legitimacy of Duan Ganzi's rule, and have been looking for opportunities to try every means to overthrow Duan Ganzi's rule."

Zhao Dan raised his brows slightly and said to Mao Sui: "If this happens, Duan Ganzi must have had a lot of trouble during this period, right?"

Mao Sui nodded and said, "That's true. Now Duan Ganzi needs at least a thousand soldiers to defend when he goes out. Even so, he has been assassinated many times. Once, the assassin was even an old servant who had served in his mansion for nearly twenty years."

Zhao Dan couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "Since he could be betrayed by his retainers, this godson is really miserable... With his personality, I guess he wouldn't be indifferent to this, right?"

Mao Sui nodded and said, "What the king said is exactly. Many ministers of Wei have been arrested, imprisoned or even beheaded. Hundreds of corpses have been abandoned every day at the entrance of the Taoyi vegetable market these days. People in the entire Taoyi city are now in panic. According to the king's instructions, I have also secretly protected some ministers, and these ministers are willing to provide some help to the king when the king attacks Taoyi in the future."

Zhao Dan thought for a while, and then said to Mao Sui: "General Manager Mao, you should make the Hu Yiwei guards in Zhao's country care more. If you can put them under my command, then after conquering Wei, your rule over Wei's land will be much smoother. Do you understand?"

Mao Sui nodded very respectfully.

After thinking for a while, Zhao Dan said to Mao Sui: "Among other counties in the Wei State, how did the rebellion of the county magistrates and county magistrates and county magistrates and county magistrates and county magistrates carry out?"

Speaking of which, this trick was learned by Zhao Dan and the Qin Shihuang in history.

The reason why Qin was able to pacify the six countries in ten years was obviously far from enough to rely solely on Qin's own officials to rule the six countries. Therefore, during this period, Qin recruited a large number of officials from the six countries and asked these officials to rule the territory for Qin.

Under such guidelines, as long as the Qin army conquered an important city, many large and small cities under the rule of this city would surrender one after another, and the officials of the six countries would instantly transform from Chu, Qi, and Zhao to officials of the Qin State.

Of course, this actually has its drawbacks. The drawback is that at this time, the officials were basically the literati, and the scholars were the grassroots level of the nobles.

In other words, a large number of old nobles from the six countries successfully intervened in the ruling class of Qin and became the "our own people" of Qin. After Qin Shihuang's death, these so-called "our own people" could not wait to follow Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to raise the banner of rebellion, and finally successfully counterattacked and destroyed the Qin Dynasty.

From the current perspective, Zhao Dan feels that he only needs to pay attention to this "profit". As for the disadvantages, Zhao Dan also has some solutions, but that is after completely destroying the Wei Kingdom.

When Zhao Dan asked a question, Mao Sui immediately showed an excited expression on his face and said to Zhao Dan: "Best King, now three county magistrates and twenty-one Wei County Magistrates are willing to respond to the king's call and overthrow Duan Ganzi together. Among these people, one county magistrate and six county magistrates are willing to join Zhao and work hard for the king."
