Before Lianyu and Hu Ying went to Chu, the news of Fanwu's defeat had reached Jinyang west of Taihang Mountain. Jinyang was the place where Zhao State started and the foundation of Zhao State. However, although this city had been rebelled several times, it was still conquered by the Qin people. Jinyang was sleeping in Yan Dynasty. After hearing that the front line was defeated, Zhao Zheng, who had a little smile on his face, instantly turned into ice. He gritted his teeth and remained silent for a long time before waving his sleeves and speaking: "Go down."

"Wei Liao pays homage to the king." Following the defeated news, Wei Liao, who went to Jinyang, came to Yan Dynasty to pay homage to him.

Zhao Zheng glanced at him coldly and said unhappily: "What's the matter with the National Guard?"

In the three years of attacking Zhao, two major defeats were defeated, which made people wonder whether it was correct to attack Zhao. Zhao State was still resisting, but the three kingdoms of Chu, Qi and Wei had already formed an alliance, and a stronger opponent had appeared. In the court, the palace had complained about attacking Zhao. Wei Liao heard Zhao Zheng's displeasure, but he smiled and said, "I heard that the Nine Blades of Youwei Mountain have failed. If I don't believe it, today I know that the ancestors did not deceive me. Will the king want to attack Jing?"

Wei Liao asked, and before Zhao Zheng answered, he said again: "What's the difference between attacking Zhao and attacking Jing? Jing's sea boats reach the west of Zhongzhou, and get the dragon horses of Xizhou, and the gold and stones of Nanzhou. Can our army destroy Jing destroy Jing? If we cannot destroy Jing, the alliance of the four countries is still there, it is just the main alliance of Zhao. The enemy of the Qin Dynasty, only Jing and Zhao, the army of Qi and Wei are no longer able to fight, and they only increase their momentum. Moreover, the king only saw the victory of the Zhao army, but did not see the defeat of the Zhao army..."

Although Wei Liao's words were quarrels, the situation in which the Qin Dynasty was in was indeed the case. However, the two Kings of Chu had been forced to bow to Qin due to the situation. Now the King of Chu was completely a fool, and he did not talk about profits and losses at all, and he almost went against Qin everywhere. Chu was in the south, Zhao was in the north, and Qin was in the south and it was difficult to take into account both north and south. This is the reason why it was difficult to get rid of the tiger today.

"Why did sir, why did you persuade me to attack Jing in the past, and then?" Zhao Zheng said distressedly. "Today, it was clearly a great victory for the Zhao army, why did you say that the Zhao army was defeated?"

"In the past, I advised the king to attack Jing because Jing was the strong enemy of our Great Qin. If we did not attack Jing, we would have a disaster in Qin in the future." Wei Liao explained. "In the three years of attacking Jing, we would not win. Will the king really want to place the fortune of the Great Qin on the prey of Jing? If we win, we will destroy the six countries and the whole country will be over; if we lose, the country will be destroyed and the country will not exist?

Since the Jing State has achieved its power, it should not be used to make a contribution to a battle, but should respond to Xu Tu. It is difficult to attack Jing, and it is easy to attack Zhao, which is easy to first and then difficult to do so. If Zhao is destroyed, the Qin Dynasty in the world has taken the third place. Qi and Wei can surrender it, so how can the Jing State rise again? It is like a battle between two armies, and those who can attack and break the enemy formation can attack left and right to break the enemy formation. The Qin Dynasty is a strategy to attack.

Although the Zhao army won again and again, the soldiers who could fight in Zhao State were almost exhausted, and the soldiers who could fight were only 300,000. The soldiers who fought were like this, and the same was the same as grain, fodder, and corn. Although Jing and Qi lost grain and Zhao, they only lost a few million stones a year, which was a drop in the bucket. At this time, Zhao State had no soldiers and no grain, and there was only a great victory. If there was a defeat, the country would be destroyed."

Wei Liao's strategic thinking is completely correct, and it is impossible to destroy Chu. Even if the Qin army defeats the Chu army, Chu can retreat east of the Yangtze River or even south of the Nanling Mountains. The judgment of the Guowei Mansion is that before creating boats that can match the Chu wing warships of Chu, Chu, which retreated to Jiangdong, cannot perish. The indestructible Chu will drag the Qin into a protracted war. When Zhao has digested Yan land and rested for ten years, it will not be so easy for the Qin, who has been exhausted in the war to destroy Chu, to destroy Zhao.

"Li Mu is the Great Wall of Zhao, how can he be defeated?" After thinking about it, Zhao Zheng reduced his blame to Wei Liao to the lowest point. Only then can he express his feelings and sigh at Li Mu's Great Wall of Zhao.

"A thousand feet of dike is destroyed by the holes of ants; a hundred feet of room is burned by the fire of the cracks." Wei Liao said. "The people of Zhao always wanted to abolish the crown prince Zhao Jia, and Li Mu was particularly interested in deposed by the crown prince Zhao Jia. The Queen Mother Zhao and the Prime Minister Chunping Jun were in trouble before Zhao was able to ascend the throne. We could send people to spread rumors in Handan, saying that Li Mu wanted to make the deposed crown prince Zhao Jia the king of Zhao, or... "

Wei Liao wanted to speak but stopped. In fact, he had a better plan, but he didn't dare to say it out due to Zhao Zheng.

"How about Yan Dan?" Wei Liao knew the situation in Handan well, but Zhao Zheng wanted to destroy Zhao as soon as possible.

"Jing Ke has gone to Zhao camp, and our army is defeated. He should be trusted by Li Mu, but..." Yan Dan finished talking with Jing Ke and set off for Jinyang that day. He arrived at the same time with the news of the defeat of the Qin army.

"How about it?" Assassination was a disgraceful thing. The king should not participate in it, and Zhao Zheng no longer cared about so much.

"Jing Ke said that there are many Hu people living guards beside Li Mu, and the assassination will be after the end of the year." Wei Liao told Yan Dan's words.

"After the year?" Zhao Zheng was shocked. Like Yan Dan, he thought that Jing Ke would achieve success in a few months.

"Jing Ke is a Wei person, not a Zhao person. Yan Dan assassinated several times, Li Mu was very strict in equipment, and it is necessary to be after the year." Wei Liao did not doubt Yan Dan's after the year. Unlike the Spring and Autumn Period, trusting a person means completely trust. Of course, Li Mu was not Qing Ji. The multiple assassinations made him highly vigilant. Even though Jing Ke entered Li Mu's shogunate, it was impossible for him to work for a year without a year.

"If the Qin army needs to be defeated after the year, will it be defeated again?" Zhao Zheng asked angrily. "If Li Mu doesn't believe it, he can kill Jing Ke's entire clan to make him believe it."

"You must not." Wei Liao said anxiously. "If you really kill Jing Ke's entire clan, Jing Ke will definitely rebel. This is not possible!"

"What's wrong? How can Li Mu trust him?" Although Zhao Zheng said this, he still took a step back. He called Zhao Gao: "In the name of rebelling against Qin, his father and his son replace him with others. This matter must be widely publicized so that the world can know."

After King Zheng of Zhao ordered him, Zhao Gao was ordered and left the bed. Wei Liao still said worriedly: "If Jing Ke betrayed me..."

"If Jing Ke rebelled, I will kill his seven clans. If he did not rebel and killed Li Mu, I will not only restore Weiguo, but also serve his father as the emperor." Zhao Zhengya chuckled, but after saying that, he suddenly smiled and said, "Before Weiqing visited, I was reading the Biography of Emperor Mu. As far as Weiqing knew, what country was there in the west of Kunlun?"

Previously, everyone in the world thought that the priest of Emperor Mu was nonsense, but as the Chu State sailed to the west of Zhongzhou, Hu merchants and the Chu State were nowhere to be seen. Zhao Zheng also turned his attention to the west of Qin State. However, Qin State was not on the main business road connecting the world between Kunlun. The previous road of Hu State was to cross Qin State north of Yinshan, then cross Qin State from the clouds, from Jinyang to Luoyang. After the Qin army occupied Jinyang, Luoyang, the business road crossed the clouds or entered Zhao State from Yanmen County, and then passed through Handan to Daliang and Linzi.

The business path revolves around Qin, so why is Zhao Zheng certainly knew that Shang Yang's law valued his rent and ordered him to be ten times more simple. No merchant in any country was willing to come to Qin to do business, and all the businesses in Qin were replaced by state institutions. In Qin, there were only official commercial institutions, and there were no real merchants.

If a country has many merchants, it can repair the hardships, gather wealth, accumulate and wait for the time, and bring the benefits of farmers, causing the people to be incompetent, which is of course harmful to the national strength. The reason why Qin is powerful is largely due to the strict ban on private merchants. However, merchants do not mean that only have a hundred harms but no profit. Merchants give Chu sellers a dragon horse to the state of war.

During this period, Zhao Zheng thought about the west of Kunlun and the eight-foot dragon horse. However, he knew very little about the west of Kunlun and could only ask Wei Liao. Mr. Guigu was a minister of King Zhou of Shang. If Guigu didn't know about the world, no one would know.

"I don't know what country is west of Kunlun. I secretly heard that there are people in the west of Kunlun." Wei Liao recalled the classics of Guigu.

"Suppress people?" Zhao Zheng was puzzled. "What is "suppress people?"

"The person who blocks people is a nomadic people. He is not a Qiang man. His eyes are deep, his eyes are blue, his skin is sharp and thin, and he looks like the Rong of Luhun. His country has a queen but no king, so the Queen Mother whom Emperor Mu met is like. He has a good horse and good at riding and shooting. Both men and women in the clan are fighting. According to his custom, a woman cannot marry and have children if she does not kill a woman. He kills a man with a skull as a wine title, and a guest comes and offers to drink it. If a guest does not praise his bravery, he will be unhappy."

"Hu Shang's Thousand-mile Horses came from the Sage?" Zhao Zheng could not imagine a tribe that a woman would also fight. All he cared about was the Thousand-mile Horses.

"That's right." Wei Liao replied. "There are good horses that are blocked by people, such as heavy horses. The eight horses of Emperor Mu, Chi Ji, Pirate Li, Bai Yi, Julun, Shanzi, Quhuang, Hualiu, and Lu'er, all seek to block the queen of people themselves. But the king sent people to go west to ask for horses, and also wanted to block the people of Jing to get horses."

The envoy who sought horses set off last year, but the envoy did not walk on the grassland avenue north of Yinshan, but on the small path of Didao (i.e. Hexi Corridor), and occupied Didao was the Yu branch of the Yuezhi branch. Just like the forces in the world formed gangs, the forces on the grassland also formed gangs.

Although the Hu Shang, who was north of Yinshan and the nomadic tribes under the Xiongnu had fought with Zhao, their relationships were broken since the Western Zhou Dynasty and had been connected since the Spring and Autumn Period and marriage continued. Later, the Hu people north of Yinshan secretly occupied the world and established the country as Later Zhao, which was not without reason; Qin and Yuezhi had always had good friends, and even the Han Dynasty sent envoys to the west, a major purpose was to contact the former ally Yuezhi and strategically surrounded the Xiongnu from the side. Later, the Qiang people (no longer the Qiang people in the pre-Qin period) established the country, and the country was named Hou Qin.

Wei Liao suggested to block the Jing people and get horses, which means to send a large army out of Yinshan to block the Hu Shang horse team. Zhao Zheng did not speak for a while after hearing this. Wei Liao said again: "If you don't block the Jing people and get horses, what if the envoy asks the horses to return to Qin? The Qin army does not have to go in person. The king sent people generous coins and willing to say so, and ask Yu to pay troops to stop them. I heard that Hu Shang bought more Jing people's weapons and armor, and Yu Zhi could get weapons and armor."

It would be best to ask Yu to intercept the Hu caravan. Zhao Zheng wanted to agree, but soon he thought of another question: "If the people of Sai learned that it was my Daqin who lobbied Yuezhiyu to send troops, they would blame me Daqin."
