Liaodong is now occupied by Jizi North Korea.

This is a country with a very long history, which is far superior to Zhao in terms of its founding time.

Jizi, who established the Korean Kingdom, was an important official in the late Shang Dynasty. He was known as the "Three Sages" of King Zhou of Shang, along with Bigan and Weizi. He also wrote the book "Hong Fan" to King Wu of Zhou, and was considered to be the teacher of King Wu of Zhou in terms of etiquette.

However, compared with the Song State established by Weizi in the former place of the Shang Dynasty in the Central Plains, the Korean State established by Jizi is a relatively weak country.

There is no way, who has put this country in such a bitter and cold place?

Hundreds of years have passed, and although Jizi North Korea has survived, it has always been under the shadow of nomadic peoples such as Yan State and the Northern Donghu.

Because the Yan general Qin Kai defeated the Donghu, Jizi North Korea surrendered to Yan a few years ago, and then stabbed Yan a knife when Yan was destroyed by Zhao.

This time, facing the conquest of Zhao State, it turned into Jizi and North Korea itself.

In the city of Pyongyang, it was learned that the North Korean monarch and ministers who came to Zhao's army had become a mess.

The king Ji was sitting at the top, his face looked ugly and said nothing.

At the next head, a worried minister was speaking: "King, now the people of Zhao swept the world, and his country's strength is so strong that even the emperor Xin and King Wu of Zhou could not compare with him. If we fight against the people of Zhao in Liaodong, we will only be dead end. It is better to withdraw our troops and horses to Pyongyang. With the mountains of Pyongyang as defense, it is best to delay the attack of the Zhao army."

The minister who spoke was Li Zheng, who was Siko from Jizi North Korea.

Li Zheng's words were immediately refuted. A young nobleman stood up and said in a deep voice: "Li Sikou's words are a big mistake! I think when our country was first granted the title, it was located in western Liaoning. Later, Yan forced us to move to Liaodong, and then to the current bitter and cold land of North Korea. If you follow your actions, will we continue to move south to Mahan when the Zhao people occupied Liaodong and attacked North Korea?"

The young nobleman was named Ji Chan, who was the younger brother of the king Ji Zheng and the general of Ji Zi's Korean Kingdom.

Li Zheng sighed and said, "The General's words are too tough. With our current military strength, we can only gather 50,000 troops. Can we be the opponent of the Zhao people?"

Ji Zhan said coldly: "The people of Zhao are all cavalry and are unable to attack the city at all. Xiangping City has become a solid city under our management in recent years. It can completely control Xiangping City to consume the military strength of the Zhao people. As long as you stick for half a year, the people of Zhao will inevitably retreat when winter comes. Isn't this better than giving up Liaodong directly and letting the people of Zhao fight to Pyongyang City?"

Lee Zhengdao: "The people of Zhao are all cavalrymen, and it is impossible to cross the mountains and reach Pyongyang City!"

Ji Chan sneered and said, "It's simply nonsense! Is Pyongyang City isolated from the world? As long as there are roads, cavalry can pass! Give me 30,000 cavalry, see if I can reach Liaodong from Pyongyang City?"

After a dispute between the two, no one could convince anyone, so they could only let the king Ji Zheng make the decision.

Ji Zheng pondered for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "Just as Brother Wang said, gather the army to Xiangping City!"

In Ji Zheng's opinion, what the two important officials said actually make sense. The factor that really makes Ji Zheng make a decision is actually very simple, that is, Ji Zheng does not want to see the war pushing to the city of Pyongyang.

If possible, Ji Zheng would rather choose to decide between Xiangping and Zhao people far away from Pyongyang!

After making the decision, Ji Zhengfa made a total of 50,000 troops from the whole country, and Wang’s brother Ji Chan, as the main general, went to Xiangping City in a mighty manner, preparing to have a vigorous blocking battle there!

The Zhao He cavalry army was not moving forward very quickly, and it only arrived in Xiangping City after ten days.

Zhao He was not in a hurry to move forward. Since this place would become a part of Zhao in the future, he, as the monarch, would of course have to observe this land carefully.

Compared with Liaoxi County, which was caused by the Donghu people to live in poverty, Liaodong County, which was ruled by Jizi North Korea, is simply a paradise.

Although it is farther from the Central Plains, the population of Liaodong is obviously much larger than that of western Liaoning.

Along the way, many villages and small towns lived and worked in an orderly and peaceful manner. It can be seen that they have a low sense of identity with Jizi North Korea, and the Zhao army even encountered fierce resistance.

In response to this, Zhao He's order was very simple: "Fire!"

Where did the cannon come from?

Of course, Zhao He also made plans in advance for conquering North Korea.

Fighting Korea is completely different from fighting Donghu. After all, Jizi Korea is a remnant of the Shang Dynasty and has also been granted the title of the Zhou emperor. He is a member of the serious Zhou lords and a madman in farming and nation building cities.

As for siege, of course, it is necessary to have cannons to be the most convenient.

However, transportation of heavy artillery is quite inconvenient, so what should I do?

The answer is simple - make a light one.

Now, Zhao He has five "light cannons" in his hand.

The power of each light cannon is less than one-sixth of the original heavy cannon, but the weight is greatly reduced. Any ordinary carriage can be loaded and transported away.

The emergence of light cannons is actually inevitable.

In later generations, the reason why artillery became heavier and heavier was that the city walls became taller and thicker.

When conquering the Central Plains, Zhao State was indeed facing a tall and thick city wall. However, when we gained the future Western Expedition, would those small Western countries have the national strength and technology here to build big cities like Linzi, Xinzheng, and Daliang? Obviously there was no one.

Therefore, light cannons that are lighter but still enough to break through enemy cities are the best helpers for the Zhao army in the future, especially for the Zhao cavalry, which has high mobility requirements.

Looking at Xiangping City in front of him, Zhao He thought for a while and said, "Send a surrendered official in to persuade him to surrender."

Judging from Jizi's North Korea's management of Liaodong, Zhao He is willing to give the rulers of this country a way out.

Zhao He could even allow the Ji clan to continue to be an official in Zhao State in the future, which is a commendation for the Ji clan to spread Chinese culture here for hundreds of years.

You should know that the royal families of the other six countries will definitely not be able to get their official positions within at least one hundred years.

The brother of the King of Korea, Ji Chan, the supreme commander in Xiangping City, looked at Zhao He's personal letter of surrender in front of him and sneered: "I have heard of the reputation of King Zhao. Such a young and talented king will naturally not deceive me in the small country of Ji family. However, although the Ji family is a small country with few people, it is also an ancestor's foundation that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. No matter how talented we are, how can we sit down and see these foundations be destroyed in our hands?"
