Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 434 What? The Lord has become the King of Zhao?

The pattern of the grassland has completely changed.

As a result, Donghu split into two tribes, Xianbei and Wuheng.

The Yuezhi announced their complete withdrawal from the East Asian battlefield. There may still be some remaining tribes left, but not many.

The Xiongnu became the only survivors on the grassland.

"Now, I think we can have a good talk about the demarcation of borders."

Inside the camp, Han Xin and the Xiongnu Chanyu Maodun sat opposite each other.

"The Xiongnu are willing to completely withdraw from the Yinshan Mountains and go west to the Yuezhi's homeland." Modun said in a deep voice,

Don't think about going east. The Xiongnu further east is the Liaodong generation. Although the living environment in that area seems to be better than that in the west, the development space will also be extremely reduced.

If the Qin State completely occupied the Hexi Corridor and controlled the Western Regions, then the Huns would have no choice but to go north. The further north they go, the colder the climate will be.

From the fate of Donghu and Yuezhi, it is not difficult to see the difference between the east and the west.

Donghu couldn't escape Liaodong, but Yuezhi could cross the Ili River and go all the way to the west or south...

And as far as Mao Dun knew, there were many countries and tribes in the west besides the Yueshi, but north of Donghu, it was really a bitter and cold land.

Mao Dun was ambitious, so he chose to move to Yuezhi's old land.

"You can go west..." Han Xin nodded and pointed to the map.

"The Yuezhi's hometown can be given to the Xiongnu. Not only the Yueshi's hometown can be given to the Xiongnu, but these areas can also be given to the Xiongnu." Han Xin said with a smile.

The places he was referring to were all areas that were currently difficult for the Qin State to touch. Even if they wanted to do so now, after Han Xin's soldiers and horses retreated from the grassland, the Huns would probably occupy them secretly.

Since it is difficult to interfere, it is better to give the Xiongnu a status in exchange for some substantial benefits.

"Then what do you want, General?" Moton asked.

"Ten thousand war horses!" Han Xin said loudly.

"The Huns' war horses are not enough on their own..." Mao Dun shook his head.

"How about I give the general a BMW and two thousand fine war horses?"

"Five thousand horses!" Han Xin said.

"The Huns really can't take it out. If the general doesn't want to, then he has no choice but to give up." Mao Dun shook his head.

"Then two thousand..." Han Xin waved his hand and didn't bother to bargain.

They are all smart people, and there is no need to finish the story. Who doesn’t know what this generation is like?

To be honest, let alone these regions further west and north, it would probably take a lot of time for Da Qin to digest Liaodong.

As for the passage further west, there is no way to worry about it.

This is also the reason why Han Xin did not forcibly destroy the two remnants of Donghu in Liaodong.

The Xiongnu will inevitably be fattened in this battle, and the dogs will not be so obedient after they are fattened.

Moreover, Mao Dun was willing to take the initiative to move westward, which made it clear that he was unwilling to continue to be controlled by Great Qin. Therefore, Great Qin needed to raise two new watchdogs.

Xianbei and Wu Heng were separated.

Turn back and move the army to Liaodong, with a little support from behind, let them and the Xiongnu go dog-eating. As for Daqin, just concentrate on digesting the Hetao and Yinshan generations, and at the same time make the development of the Xiongnu less smooth sailing.

To put it bluntly, it would take Da Qin ten years to digest the results of Han Xin's battle, and the pattern on the grassland would be completely changed.

And Han Xin only brought 10,000 troops!

After discussing with Mao Dun, Han Xin left, returned to the military formation, and began to screen and count the population captured this time.

There are more than 200,000 people in total, of course there are many old and weak women and children, and there are about 80,000 mature men.

The total population of childbearing age should be 130,000 to 40,000.

This is Han Xin's biggest gain from this battle.

Yes, population!

It is unrealistic to expect immigrants and border guards to bring over the population. At present, there is still a shortage of people in the country. Immigration and border guards may not be able to immigrate 200,000 people in ten years.

And Han Xin defeated more than 200,000 people in one battle.

With Da Qin's back, these more than 200,000 people will live outside the Great Wall and become new Qin people in the territory that Da Qin just occupied.

With the support of Da Qin, the population should grow very rapidly. As for whether to establish prefectures and counties, build new cities, and what kind of governance measures to adopt...

These are not things that Han Xin needs to worry about.

"After this battle, we will finally come out!" After fighting fiercely for a long time, Han Xin finally showed a smile on his face.

With these meritorious deeds, he will officially enter the upper echelons of Da Qin.

even!

He and his lord can sit opposite each other, talk on the floor, and become existences of the same level.

Yes, Han Xin has never been a person who is content with the status quo.

He positioned his role as the high-ranking prince of Che, Wang Jian, rather than as an insignificant retainer under Zhao Si.

He didn't want to stay behind Zhao Si all the time.

Of course, this does not mean that Han Xin has any bad intentions for Zhao Si.

He just wants to stand taller and taller! Become a person on the same level as Zhao Si.

Rather, the yes man under Zhao Si.

Han Xin, who has a high self-esteem, does not think that Zhao Si's disciples are on the same level as himself.

He should be in the same room as Zhao Si.

"Regulate the army! Return!" Han Xin glanced at the slightly desolate grassland and said.

There will definitely be some small wars next, but this is not something Han Xin needs to worry about.

He can't wait to go back to Xianyang!

Here Han Xin is still thinking about breaking through himself, becoming equal to his lord Zhao Si, and even looking forward to Wang Jian's position as Taiwei.

On the other side, Xiao He and others finally received the news and hurried to Zhao Si's mansion.

At this moment, nine people, Zhang Cang, Chen Ping, Shen Shiqi, Wang Ling, Fan Kuai, Xia Houying, Xiao He, Cao Shen, and Zhou Bo, gathered together.

Chen Ping, who looked quite as handsome as Zhao Si, was the first to smile and said: "My lord has finally come out of the palace."

"But I didn't expect that my lord is actually the eldest son's heir left among the people. It's like a story..." Zhou Bo also sighed with emotion.

Zhao Si has been staying in the palace since he recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, but little did he know that he had caused an uproar.

From the time Zhao Si recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan until now, the whole of Xianyang is still discussing this matter, and it is gradually becoming popular outside the customs.

On the one hand, this kind of bloody family ethics drama is the favorite of the people, and on the other hand, it is also because Zhao Si's reputation is so great. Because of the immortal food, too many people know about Zhao Si.

Although it may not have many die-hard fans, it can't stand up to its high popularity.

So much so that the common people on the street talked about it.

Xiao He and others who were in the imperial court felt even more profoundly.

This is Xianyang after all, a place where a stone can hit two thousand stones. Even if they have Zhao Si, a close minister of the emperor, they are still small characters.

But it’s different now!

Zhao Si suddenly became the grandson of the First Emperor, not just a close minister, so the gold content of their group of followers naturally increased accordingly.

Not to mention that they are the only disciples that Zhao Si has supported so far, a total of fifteen people in total.

As Zhao Si's retainers, they were also eager to meet and communicate with Zhao Si. In addition, they were all old acquaintances, so the atmosphere was a bit noisy.

After a long while, the atmosphere gradually relaxed a lot, and Zhang Cang finally spoke at the right time: "My lord has returned to the mansion today and called you all over. It is not to congratulate you, but because there is a major event that requires your concerted efforts."

"Sir, just say so." Chen Ping, as an old acquaintance of Zhang Cang, said with a smile.

Xiao He, Cao Shen and others all nodded and waited for Zhang Cang to start assigning tasks.

"It's like this. Today, His Majesty announced a major event. Although it has not been announced to the ministers yet, it won't be long before you all will know that Your Majesty has made the young master the King of Zhao and the land Zhao, in order to regulate all the people..." Zhang Cang He spoke.

After the words fell, there was silence again.

"Young Master has been crowned king?" Chen Ping had an incomprehensible shock on his face.

"Your Majesty has never created any heirs..." Xiao He also followed suit.

"That's the truth..." Zhang Cang spread his hands.

Zhang Cang himself did not expect this decision of the First Emperor, not to mention Xiao He and others.

"Liu Bang, Lu Wan, Chen Sheng, and Wu Guang are in Heibingtai. I'm afraid they can no longer be used by the lord. However, we are all guests of the lord. I'm afraid that we will have to rush to Zhao to govern the country..." Zhang Cang said.

"May I ask, sir, is it like the emperor of Zhou enfeoffing the country... or..." Xiao He keenly captured the key point.

The key to making a king or not depends on the amount of power.

If it was just a name that everyone would enjoy looking at, that would be enough.

But if it is really like the Emperor of Zhou dividing the princes... then there is really a lot to be done.

Military, government, finance and taxation are all tied together in one place.

The entire old land of Zhao State, to put it bluntly, must have a population of at least one million households.

That’s millions of people!

That is truly a land of one country!

One can imagine what that means!

Zhao Si suddenly became a prince, so wouldn't they also have to transform from a small role with a salary of a few hundred stones to a high official who governs a place?

"The laws are based on Qin's laws, and the laws are based on Qin's laws. They are divided into prefectures and counties. Except for some court appointments, they are no different from princes..." Zhao Si opened his mouth to answer Xiao He's question.

"It's just that I can't go to Zhao to serve as an assistant, so I can only entrust you to manage the feudal country for me. When the affairs in Northern Xinjiang are over, Han Xin and Li Shiqi will almost return to Xianyang, and then Han Xin will also go to Zhao... "Zhao Si said.

"In this way, we have almost settled, but when should we set off?" Cao Shen asked.

"Just waiting for the edict to be issued!" Zhao Si said.

Zhang Cang nodded and glanced at Xiao He, Chen Ping and others, then looked at Zhao Si and said: "We have already made some calculations in our hearts, but the situation in Zhao State is more complicated now. There are small rebellions everywhere. Since the prince is granted the title of The country belongs to Zhao, so we should discuss in advance how to put down Zhao's rebellion as soon as possible, so as not to miss important events. Is there anything you need to advise us, sir?"

"That's not true..." Zhao Si smiled brightly.

"The reason why I came back today is firstly because I have not returned for a long time, and secondly I want to tell you in advance so that you will not be unprepared when you rush to Zhaodi. You are all my carefully selected talents. I have always Don’t trust people who are suspicious, and don’t trust people when you are using them. Since you want to manage Zhao land for me, I naturally trust your ability." Zhao Si said.

"Since the young master is short of time, we will discuss it first, and the young master can go on his own. After the discussion is completed, I will give you the details." Zhang Cang winked.

Zhao Si heard the sound, laughed twice and said goodbye to everyone.

He was indeed a little short of time, so he only took one day off, and he had to take good care of Yu Ji's mood.

Having said that, Zhao Si has already considered whether he should take Yu Ji to live in the palace?

But after all, Yu Ji was not officially married, and Zhao Si still had some hesitation in his heart.

On the other side, Zhao Si turned around, and Zhang Cang stared straight at Zhao Si's leaving figure. He didn't let out a sigh of relief until he disappeared.

"Since the Lord has left, if there is anything else, sir, you can make it clear." Chen Ping smiled and said.

Zhang Cang took a look and found that besides Chen Ping, Xiao He and Cao Shen were also waiting for him to speak.

"Ah? Aren't we going to discuss how to put down the rebellion in Zhao as soon as possible?

Sir, you can see how crowded I am in Fan Kuai. If you ask me, after you go to Zhao, you can just allocate the troops and horses to me and let me supervise the military of Zhao. In less than half a year, I will be able to conquer Zhao. The rebellion in the country was completely put down. "Fan Kuai smiled and began to imagine that he would become the military commander of Zhao State.

Xiao He glanced at Fan Kuai helplessly and said: "Asking you to supervise the military of Zhao State? Do you think Zhao State only has a few hundred county soldiers? In the land of Zhao State, the population alone exceeds one million, and you are here to supervise so many soldiers and horses. , can you calculate how much food and grass is used in a day? How much expenditure is required in a month, and how many weapons and armor are needed?"

"Hehe, you and Cao Shen are not here. Besides, there is also Mr. watching. You have the final say on these things. I just have to fight!" Fan Kuai scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed.

Fan Kuai's ability to lead a large number of troops in history was achieved through battle after battle.

As for now...

Fan Kuai can only manage a few hundred Yulin at most. He has courage and has also undergone some cultural training under Zhang Cang's supervision, but he lacks actual combat. At present, he still needs time to hone his skills.

The most talented people are Xiao He, Han Xin, Zhang Cang and Chen Ping.

These people have learned what they have learned and put it to their own use. They don’t need any training, as long as they are given a platform. You will soon be able to display your talents.

But Fan Kuai is one level behind...

"Since sir, you have sent your lord away, you just have something to say. Don't worry..." Cao Shen also waved his hand.

"That's right. Besides, even if the troops are in charge, it should be Han Xin who is in charge. How could it be your turn?" Zhou Bo also added.

"You guy? Why do you have to speak for outsiders?"

After a while of gibberish, Zhang Cang looked at the commotion below, rubbed his brows, and said in a deep voice: "Before you came, my lord had already told me everything that happened in the past few days, and I asked a lot of questions individually. Xiao He and Chen Ping, you two are smart people, I will tell you now first, and then we will argue."

This kind of thing really needs to be avoided by Zhao Si.

Because what Zhang Cang wants to say is about establishing a crown prince!

Yes!

Establish a reserve!
