Chapter 528 Green Dragon

Handan.

As one of the few large cities in the land of Yan and Zhao, the economic circle formed with Handan as the center is the richest place in the Zhao Kingdom.

Even though Zhao State has experienced natural disasters and military disasters over the years, it still has a very solid foundation today.

In fact, Zhao's defense is deployed around this economic circle.

Even though Qin State wiped out a large number of Zhao State's effective forces in several wars.

But relying on the strong financial resources brought by this economic circle and the brave frontier troops, Zhao State was still able to mount the most fierce resistance against the powerful Qin.

King Qin stood on the city wall of Handan, looking at the vaguely familiar scene that had been devastated by the war, without saying a word. King Qin was a hostage in Handan when he was young, but now when he comes back, the situation is completely different.

The blood left by the battle in the air has now disappeared. But the order in Handan still suffered a lot of damage.

Zhao Shuang walked forward step by step and bowed.

"I have seen your Majesty!"

"What do you think will happen to the world after this battle?"

"If the princes work together, they can still fight. Otherwise, they will only be defeated by our army one by one."

"Then will they join forces to resist Qin?"

"Won't."

"Why?"

"Wei's army is strong but its territory is narrow; Qi's country is rich but its people are lazy; Chu's territory is vast but its power is scattered. These three countries want to become one, so they spend money on officials, the middle ones resent the middle-class families, and the bottom labor is on the common people. If they don't succeed, then Self-liberation."

The three kingdoms of Qi, Wei and Chu had their own economic circles. Although they also understand that the best way is to unite and attack the Qin army.

But, these are three countries after all. What's more, the three countries are not equal in power, one is weak and the other is strong.

The other two countries were asked to provide people, money and food to fight the Qin army on the other country's land. There is no gain in winning, and even more losses in defeat.

What's more, the national hatred between these three countries is definitely no less than that with Qin. Even if the other two countries are willing, the remaining one must be wary.

As for the Qin State, the most precious land of the Zhao State has been conquered, and the next question is how to rule it.

Whether it is for reasons of war or economic development, the most important issue is smooth roads. King Qin's next trip was not to return from the main road from Hangu to Handan with a mature road system, but to take the road from Taiyuan, Shangjun to Guanzhong.

Among them, there are more considerations about how to implement future policies.

King Qin turned around, looked at Zhao Shuang, and asked.

"How is the market price in Handan?"

"One stone per millet costs three hundred cents. Compared with when our army first entered Handan, the situation of one thousand five hundred cents per stone has eased a lot."

The Qin court still attached great importance to the Handan metropolitan area.

As the war against the Six Kingdoms progressed, the Qin army's supply lines continued to extend, and transporting food from Guanzhong was time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, it is better to rectify the old cities of the Six Kingdoms, restore order, and use their food and grass to supplement the military.

Handan was the first and most important city after the Qin army left Taihang. With its financial resources, it could maintain an army of hundreds of thousands to continue fighting.

The situation in Handan is not yet completely stable, but it has gotten much better. At this time, Handan was still in a wartime state, and food prices were high, which even secretly promoted the development of the slave industry.

"If a country does not have nine years of savings, it is said to be insufficient; if a country does not have six years of savings, it is said to be urgent; if a country does not have three years of savings, it is said that the country is not its own country. Zhao is dead, and the country is not its own country. But the situation in Handan must be solved as soon as possible Stability is left to you.”

Zhao Shuang was stunned for a moment and was shocked by the errand suddenly given by King Qin.

"What, you can't do it?"

"promise!"

Zhao Shuang felt bitter in his heart, this job was not easy to do!

He looked back and saw Guo Kai among the people waiting under the city wall, and suddenly an idea came to him.

"Young Master, Qin's tiger and wolf army killed my royal family and destroyed my ancestral temple. Now that the Zhao Kingdom is dead, we are willing to honor you as our king and restore our ancestral temple."

Zhao Wangqian was captured, and Zhao's clan officials fled north to make peace with Prince Jiahui.

In this era, nobles wielded considerable influence. As long as there is money and food, according to his name, he can quickly recruit a lot of people.

If he is not a noble, he is using troops like Han Xin, but he still has nothing to do.

The Qin army's control power relied on cities and roads, and lacked effective control over the mountains, hills and swamps. If the nobles of the six countries do not submit to Qin, many of them will lead their remnants and hide among them.

Although these ministers fled north, they still had considerable financial resources and influence.

"Everyone, please get up."

Gongzijia sighed.

"Now we are the only ones left in Zhao State. To contend with the powerful Qin is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

"I heard that as soon as the King of Qin entered Handan, he would kill all those who had a grudge against his mother's family in the past. How can such a cruel king deserve to own the world? If bad luck makes it difficult for us to regain Zhao, we are willing to die with the young master! "

As these words fell, everyone said in unison.

"I am willing to die with you!"

"Okay, I'm very relieved that you are like this. Even if the Qin Dynasty can destroy our great Zhao, it cannot destroy the hearts of our Zhao people."

Gongzijia looked serious.

"I am willing to obey the king's orders."

"Acting King!"

The former young master is now the acting king. After the contemporary Wang Jia ascended the throne, the first thing he saw was Yan Dan.

"Prince, the Qin army has captured Zhao's important places. We may not be able to stop them with our army alone."

The two countries Yan and Zhao have been hostile for a long time and have fought countless battles.

Dai Wangjia had a clear understanding of the Yan army's combat power. Their current army alone cannot stop the Qin army.

"Yes. So next, I will make a dangerous move!"

"What dangerous plan?"

Yan Dan looked at Dai Wangjia and shook his head without wanting to say more.

"King Dai, what will happen if you are unable to regain Zhao in the end?"

"Even if we fight to a city or a place, we will never surrender to Qin."

"In this way, it will follow the wishes of King Qin."

Dai Wangjia looked at Yan Dan with doubts on his face.

"Prince, what do you mean?"

"Even if Yan and Zhao are destroyed in the end, we will not be able to restore our country, but we should keep the fire for future generations."

"But this is easier said than done?"

Dai Wangjia shook his head, but saw Yan Dan turning to look at him with a serious face.

"King, I will only say the next words once. Remember, after hearing it, don't reveal it to the rest of the people."

Dai Wangjia was stunned. He had never seen Yan Dan with such an expression before, and he immediately handed over his hands and performed a very solemn ceremony.

"I will definitely live up to the prince's trust."

"If my next strategy fails, the Yan Kingdom and the other vassal states will also perish. But Qin Wangzheng will not think that when the six kingdoms perish, it will also be the day when the hearts of the six kingdoms unite. Gather the benevolent people of the six kingdoms , unite hundreds of schools of thought to fight against Qin..."

Looking at Yan Dan's appearance, Dai Wangjia felt that his nerves were tense.

"This plan is called the 'Blue Dragon Plan'."
