The Qin envoy was a traveler and had been obedient since he was stationed in Shaoliang. He wholeheartedly assisted the old Mr. Hu, who was the old Liangyi Order, to get along well with Hu Fei, Tian Ying and other old Liang officials, and did not explore the secrets of the Mo Zao Bureau. It can be said that he was a very capable and knowledgeable person. Such a person suddenly expressed that he had important matters to discuss, and Li He subconsciously felt that this matter was quite beneficial.

So he quickly bid farewell to Xiangliqin and quickly took Mo Jian to the old beam.

About an hour later, Li He and Mo Jian returned to the old Liang and returned to the former Yidafu's residence. At this time, Yu You was sitting in the side room in the front yard of the official residence, not knowing what he was thinking about.

“Entertainment?”

"Ah, Doctor Ziliang."

Since Youyou has been in Shaoliang for nearly three years, he can be called half a Shaoliang person and has already been familiar with Li He, Hu Lao, Hu Fei and others, so Li He did not politely with him. After entering the house, he asked in confusion: "You asked me to pass on the message, saying that there is something important to discuss, I don't know what it is?"

"this……"

Yunyou glanced at Mo Jian standing beside Li He, but he knew Mo Jian's status in Shaoliang and didn't dare to say anything to let the master avoid suspicion. After hesitating, he whispered: "Doctor Ziliang must also know that Liyang sent an envoy to Zhao State some time ago, but, uh, Zhao State refused to contact our Daqin."

Originally, Mo Jian was also surprised that something big happened. When he heard this, he lost interest and bowed to Li He and said to Youyou, "Talk slowly, I have something to do in Mo's plan, so let's take a step first."

As Liang Mo's master and the director of the Mo Zao Bureau, he was very busy every day, but he had no time to pay attention to the diplomatic relations between Qin and Zhao.

"good."

Li He smiled and nodded, waved his hand to summon Youyou and sat in the house, and asked about the specific situation.

In fact, this matter is not complicated. After three years of going back, Qin and Zhao had an alliance. At that time, Qin supported Zhao to attack Wei, while Zhao acquiesced to Qin to capture Hexi and Hedong. However, Zhao finally got nothing and was captured by Wei general Pang Juan, while Qin obtained Hexi and even half of Hedong, becoming the biggest winner.

How does Zhao State view this matter?

So, at the end of February, the King of Wei personally went to Zhangshui to reconcile with Zhao State and signed the "Zhangshui Alliance" with Zhao Hou. Zhao State changed its wings and turned to Wei State. To be precise, it was not completely turned to Wei State. It only reached a reconciliation with Wei State, and the two sides agreed to stop all hostile acts so far.

This matter is actually not difficult to infer. After all, Wei State had to concentrate all its forces to fight back against Qin. Zhao State fought with Wei State for more than two years, and it was not said that the country was seriously damaged. If it weren't for the instigation and promise of the Qin envoy beside Zhao Hou, he would have long since no longer wanted to be hostile to Wei State, but Qin State could not stand by and watch in this matter.

Let’s not talk about the threat of the “Three Jin Alliance” for now. Zhao and Wei alone can’t stand it. Once Wei and Zhao reconcile, Wei can truly concentrate the whole country’s strength to return to Qin. Qin is a bit vain in this regard.

Therefore, after learning about the news of "Zhangshui Alliance", the King of Qin immediately sent an important minister Gan Long to the State of Zhao, trying to persuade the Duke of Zhao to change his mind and tear up the peace with Wei.

But unfortunately, or unexpectedly, Zhao rejected Qin's appeal.

After hearing what happened, Li He glanced at the Youyou and said with a strange expression: "You Qin State has captured Hexi and half of Hedong in the past two years. He Zhao State has not recovered anything, and even the capital was occupied by the Wei army. If it were me, I would have gone down the road and said peace with Wei State and asked Wei State to return to Handan..."

"That's what it means..."

The entertainment seems a bit awkward.

In fact, he also felt that it was a bit unreasonable for Qin to force Zhao to tear up the peace agreement with Wei this time, but as a Qin minister, he could only stand on the interests of Qin.

"Then what do you want to discuss with me?" Li He asked.

I saw You hesitate for a moment and said hesitantly: "In fact, it means Qian Shuai. He... He hopes that Shaoliang and I, Daqin, will put pressure on Zhao State together..."

“…”

Li He looked at You with a strange expression, and his expression seemed to be saying: Did you get your head clamped? How could I, Shaoliang, agree to such a thing?

His strange gaze made You laugh, and he explained with a wry smile: "I'm here... I'm here just conveying the meaning of Qianshuai..."

Fortunately, Li He also understood the difficulties of entertainment and thought about it and asked, "If I refuse, will Ying Qian come to talk about it in person?"

"estimate……"

You nodded awkwardly and whispered: "As far as I know, Li Yang's reaction was very fierce. Du Zhi Shangqing even reported to the king that if Zhao State does not obey, he would use troops to Zhao State..."

"Ha." Li He smiled sarcastically, then asked curiously: "Threat threatening Zhao State with force at this time? What a good idea. I think Wei State would like you to do that... Are Qin and Zhao countries bordering?"

Youyou smiled bitterly, thought for a while and said, "It should refer to Lin Di."

According to him, in the north of Shaoliang, there is Shangjun of Wei State in the area hundreds of miles apart, to the east is Xihe County, the north belongs to Zhao State, and the south belongs to Wei State, bordering Hedong.

Lindi is a place in Xihe County, Zhao State. To the southeast is Pingzhou, Xihe, where Li He was born.

Two years ago, when Qin State attacked Hexi and Hedong, it also sent another army to attack Shangjun of Wei. Of course, the scale was far inferior to Hexi. These two wars in Hedong came fiercely. Even when the battle in Hedong was at its most intense, Qin State temporarily stopped its offensive against Shangjun, which also made Shangjun still in the hands of Wei.

On the other hand, given that the Wei State also invested a large number of troops in the two wars in Hexi and Hedong, Shangjun, as a remote area, was once difficult to obtain assistance from Anyi or Daliang, and could only take a defensive position.

Therefore, it is theoretically impossible for Qin to send troops through Shangjun and directly attack Xihe County in Zhao.

"Is it meaningful?"

Li He asked You in confusion and said, "According to what you said, the Xihe land is just a remote place for Zhao State, and there are foreign races in the local area. Zhao State built a city block in Xihe just to ensure the stability of its Taiyuan County and stationed troops. Even if Qin State captured Lindi and even the entire Xihe, I don't think it would hurt Zhao State, right?"

"That's what I said..." You said with a confused look on his face: "But Xihe is also a place where Zhao State grazing, and Zhao State may consider it..."

However, he stopped and shook his head after only half of his words, probably because he felt that attacking Lin Di would not make Zhao surrender.

After all, although Xihe is a bad place for the grazing of Zhao State, the country's grazing war horses and cattle and sheep pastures are not the only ones for Xihe, and Taiyuan County is the real place for the grazing of Zhao State. The Zhao army in Xihe is mainly responsible for fighting against foreign races such as Lin Hu.

"Is it a place of grazing..."

Looking at the shaking head and silently, Li He's heart moved slightly.

Regarding war horses, today they belong to Qin, Wei, and Zhao, because these three countries have large grasslands that can grazle war horses and even cattle and sheep. If he could also get a pasture, then he might be able to form a cavalry...

This idea was rejected by him only for a moment. After all, most of the grasslands in the north were occupied by foreign races that were not Central Plains. These foreign races have always regarded the countries in the Central Plains as granaries. Once disasters occur on the grasslands, too many cattle and sheep die in their tribes and cannot feed their tribes. These foreign races will gather to the Central Plains to loot, among which Xihe County is frequently harassed and plundered by Lin Hu and other foreign races.

Instead of getting a place where horses are shedding, Li He felt that it would be better to buy war horses from Qin, Zhao and Wei. At least for Shaoliang, it would be more beneficial.

Thinking of this, Li He coughed and spoke to Huayou with righteous words: "Yiyou, you also know the situation of my Shaoliang. I, Shaoliang, cannot agree with this."

The entertainment tour was not unexpected, and nodded in understanding and said, "I am just following the order of Qian Shuai..."

Then the two chatted casually for a few more words, and then said goodbye and left.

Within two days, as the two of them guessed, Ying Qian came to the old Liang in person.

When Li He personally invited Ying Qian to the study room of the palace, Ying Qian unexpectedly mentioned the matter of "jointly joining forces to put pressure on Zhao State".

Li He rolled his eyes at this point: "Do you think my Shaoliang Mozhe will agree?"

Ying Qian didn't care about Li He's attitude, and said with a smile when he heard the words, "Ziliang, don't you think you Shaoliang is too dependent on the Mo family? I can see that you and I are actually the same type of people, and both are eager to open up the territory for your own country. Since this is the case, why should you tie your hands and advocate what is not attacking and love? "

Li He glanced at Ying Qian and chuckled, "Isn't this good? Can Qin completely relieve me of Shaoliang?"

“…”

Ying Qian stopped talking.

It has to be said that the Qin State has not yet had a consistent view on how to correctly treat Shaoliang, which advocated Mohism's governance.

In fact, through the performance of the previous wars, Qin State has fully realized that Shaoliang is really not weak, and he wishes to tie this country to his Qin State's chariot. However, Liang Mo became an obstacle in this matter. With Liang Mo in Shaoliang for one day, Shaoliang would not be able to help Qin State attack other countries.

But on the other hand, without Liang Mo, the Shaoliang would seem a little dangerous again.

Therefore, it is not only Ying Qian, but Li Yang is still struggling, not knowing how to treat Shaoliang and Liang Mo: should we allow Liang Mo to continue to spread in Shaoliang, or use the current friendly relations between the two countries to put his Qin school ideas and culture into Shaoliang, and slowly assimilate the Shaoliang people.

In fact, Qin was already doing this. At Ying Qian's suggestion, the King of Qin took advantage of the "cross and sheep trade" several times to slowly introduce Qin's books, folk songs, customs and other cultures into Shaoliang. Songs with great Qin characteristics such as "Yellow Bird" and "Wuyi" gradually spread in Shaoliang.

The King of Qin even organized a group of people to go around in the cities of Shaoliang and promote the "Qin and Liang integration theory". Simply put, the Shaoliang people and the Qin people have the same clan and origin, and the two countries should support each other. Unfortunately, the unfortunate hostility in the past was all because of the provocation of Wei.

However, since only half of the Shaoliang people who are of the same origin as the Qin people account for half of the Shaoliang people, the rest are from Wei people, Rong people in Hexi, and Liang Mo's thoughts are prevalent in Shaoliang, so the Qin State wants to assimilate Shaoliang through cultural customs, and there is no progress yet.

This made Ying Qian want to move some Qin people eastward to promote this process.
