After hearing this, Zhao Wu touched his chin and asked, "Let me talk about the first strategy first. Can there be unreclaimed land in our territory?"

Dong Guoli had not answered yet, Qi Ce took out a scroll from his arms and unfolded it like offering treasures in front of Zhao Wu: "My dearest travels around the countries and knows the situation of mountains and rivers well. This is the situation map of the countries drawn by the minister, and I just want to explain it to the Lord for this map."

This is a map, which roughly depicts the borders and major cities of various countries. Although the proportion is inappropriate and many parts have been deformed, compared with this map, Zhao Wu no longer has a dark look. At least he knows the location of Zhaocheng.

Shi Xiu walked up and introduced: "The north of Zhaocheng is Huocheng - Huocheng was originally the fief of Xian clan. After the Xian clan was destroyed, it was taken over to the king. Huocheng was located between two mountains, and the gorge opposite Huocheng was the border of the Rong people..."

... Looking at this map, Zhao Wu understood: Zhaocheng is about the northern end of the Linfen Basin, next to Huocheng, located at the northernmost end of the Linfen Basin, and then the Darong and Xiaorong occupying the Taiyuan Basin, and the "Sejiru" occupying the Xiding Basin. To the north, they are Loufan and Linhu occupying the Datong Basin.

The south of Zhaocheng is "Yang" - hundreds of years ago, the younger brother of the King of Zhou, Prince led the Rong people of "Yang, Jue, Quan, Gao, Yi, Luo" to attack the capital, attack the royal city, burn its east gate, leading to the demise of the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the era entered the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. After that, Jin State made repeated efforts and finally eliminated the Rong people of "Yang". Subsequently, Yang became one of the fiefs of the Xi family.

In other words, Zhaocheng is the territory of the king to the north and cannot be touched; to the south, it is the territory of the three celestials, and he dare not provoke him.

"There is no room for development in the north and south directions, only the east and west directions...what is this?" Zhao Wu asked, pointing to a city in the west.

Shi Xiu whispered: "This is Pucheng, the current monarch, and when he was a young master, he was called 'Zhoupu'."

The name "Zhou Pu" indicates the ownership of Pucheng. "Zhou" refers to a county town outside the capital.

The princes of Jin State did not have a fiefdom, but they had a certain city as their source of living. The current monarch was called "Zhoupu", which means that when the current monarch was a prince, although Pucheng was not his fiefdom, all the taxes in Pucheng belonged to him and he could use them to support his family.

Shi Xiu continued to whisper: "In the spring of ten years ago, the current kings gathered with the Duke of Qi, Duke of Song, Duke of Lu, Duke of Wei, Bo Zheng, Bo Ju, and Bo Qi, and led the princes to prepare to meet with the king of Wu, but the king did not come, which made the king very embarrassed. But the king set the place where the princes met in Pucheng, which shows that he loved this territory deeply."

That means there is no hope for expanding to the west.
