Zhao State.
A relatively unique existence among the vassal states of the Han Dynasty.
He was not involved in the prime minister assigned by the Han like other vassal states.
The entire country is governed by Liu Pengzu alone.
This is also the reason why Zhang Qi chose King Zhao.
The extension of grace is an extraordinary decree.
He can really prevent the tyrannical man from causing chaos among the princes. Of course, when he encounters the foolish king at the end of the game, he should be finished.
But at that time, it was not the princes and kings but the family members who stirred up trouble.
Zhang Qi told Liu Pengzu the news in advance just to temporarily pull him into the carriage.
The land of the Han Dynasty was vast, and the tentacles Zhang Qi could currently extend were only along the coast and where big rivers flowed.
Now that there is one more ally of the princes and kings, more things can be done.
At the very least, just in terms of recruiting refugees, the advantages of the princes and kings are unmatched by outsiders.
The blood wine was drunk, and the oath was made.
Liu Pengzu found that he couldn't help but look at Zhang Qidu much more now.
Oh, what a good son-in-law.
"You want refugees to enrich the land of Liao. You want to claim the throne and build a country. You are really ambitious."
After drinking the blood wine, Liu Pengzu sat down again and looked at Zhang Qi teasingly.
"Princes, generals, and ministers. I have no interest in generals. Otherwise, I would not be sitting in Liao land instead of being valued by your majesty and going to Chang'an."
Zhang Qi chuckled, lifted the hem of his clothes, and sat back at the table.
"Isn't it the same with King Zhao? You still care about that position, otherwise you wouldn't be so persistent in monopolizing the power of a country. Unfortunately, King Zhao has few opponents in terms of ability to govern the country, but without military strength, these Wealth accumulated over time is just something someone can pick up when they want it.”
"According to the reports from my spies in Chang'an, Lord Fu Yan has already visited several vassal states. In these states, he has been convicted of fornication or stupidity."
"Now King Zhao knows why I hate Prince Dan so much. His existence will definitely make many of King Zhao's trump cards go to waste."
The state of Zhao is rich.
Even Liu Che would salivate at this level of wealth.
According to the original trajectory of history, the decline of the Zhao Kingdom began with Prince Dan's accusation of promiscuity in the harem.
Although his life was saved by Liu Pengzu, at this point, the wealth accumulated by Zhao State for decades was also included in Liu Che's internal funds.
Liu Pengzu thought.
But he didn’t pick up the topic of Prince Dan.
It is still up to him to decide what Zhao will do.
If one day I really think I can sit in that position, then it won't be too late to establish a new crown prince.
Although he doted on Prince Dan, in front of that position, all his children were nothing more than bargaining chips.
"It is impossible to leave some roots of the Rebellion of the Seven Kings to make the court wary of our vassal states and expand their military strength. That is why I will agree to form an alliance with you."
"The first general in the Liao land, the young man was granted the title of marquis, and the two kings were captured alive on the grassland."
"Marquis Liao, tell me, are you really sure you can withstand the Han's hundreds of thousands of troops?"
"hehe."
Zhang Qi smiled.
He looked at Liu Pengzu and asked.
"How about the Huns?"
"They may be powerful, but they are still barbarians. If it were not for the power of horses, the Han soldiers could be destroyed."
"How about the battle outside Wei Qing's Great Wall?"
Zhang Qi asked again.
"I heard it was a great victory. That person personally came out of the palace to greet the victorious people."
"No."
Zhang Qi shook his head.
"In the battle on the grassland, less than 8,000 Huns died, but the Han army suffered more than 20,000 to 30,000 losses. Generals Li Guang and Li Gan were killed in the battle. Gongsun Ao has not been heard from yet. King Zhao dares to say that this is a great victory? "
Liu Pengzu was stunned for a moment.
"How did you know that?!"
Liu Pengzu asked anxiously, as if this news was very important to him.
Although news of a great victory is spreading in Han Dynasty, no one has yet discovered the secret.
"hehe."
Zhang Qi changed his original kneeling posture to something a little more casual. He folded his legs and placed them under the low table. He placed one hand on the soft cushion on his lower back and pointed at himself with the other hand. .
"Because the main force that killed the generals of the Han army and destroyed the Han army was my army!"
"What!"
Liu Pengzu stood up in shock and was immediately ecstatic.
"Hahahaha, Qi'er actually has such an elite teacher, good, good, good!"
"It seems that what I want has been achieved."
"We and our husband-in-law and I will join forces and try to take the throne of the emperor!!"
"What Qi'er wants is entrusted to me. Starting from tomorrow, my men will gather the refugees in Han Dynasty and send them to Liao Dynasty."
After hearing that the main force that destroyed the Han army was Zhang Qi's subordinates, Liu Pengzu was so happy that he even changed his title.
The relationship between husband and wife instantly became harmonious during the dinner.
Zhang Qi smiled. If you want people to do things, you need to see some sweetness, and your military strength is one of the important conditions.
but.
Complaints are also necessary.
Liu Pengzu is an old fox. It is impossible for him not to be wary of the power of Zhang Qi's men. It is nothing to be able to found a country and become king. Han is a big country and Zhang Qi's place is in Liao. But if Zhang Qi's men are powerful enough, If you fight with him, the son-in-law or the covenant will be a piece of waste paper.
"Father, the Liao land is bitterly cold. Although I can bring out brave and capable soldiers, the barren land cannot support more soldiers. Do you think you can plan a treasure land for me that can support a hundred thousand soldiers?"
"Oh, it's hard on my son. If Qi'er's clan can move closer to the middle, then my father can help you, but Liao is too far away. A slight change will attract people's attention."
"But there is no need for Qi'er to worry. Although my father, the Zhao Kingdom, does not have strong soldiers and horses, it is rich in wealth. From now on, my father will take care of the baggage of Qi'er's army."
"How many soldiers does Qi'er have under his command now?"
"It's only 30,000, and it has completely drained the wealth of the people under the rule."
"Alas, the Liao region is still too difficult. A dozen people can support one elite. Qi'er is already very powerful, like this."
"Fan Jing."
"Eh."
The staff members quickly stepped forward and bowed at King Zhao's greeting.
"Prepare enough food for Qi'er for 50,000 people to eat for a year, and transport them to Liao by water."
".promise!"
After giving instructions to his staff, Liu Pengzu faced Zhang Qi again.
"King Father said it is true. From now on, I will be in charge of all the food and grass for Qi'er's army. After Qi'er brings Qing Ling back to Liao, he will start to expand the army. Thirty thousand is too small. What we have planned is The task requires hundreds of thousands of troops!"
"However, the transportation capacity is limited, so Qi'er will first use 50,000 as the number."
"In addition, Father Tongtie will also think of a way."
"I would like to thank my father first."
He bowed his hands to Liu Pengzu.
Zhang Qi laughed inwardly, but he couldn't show it on his face.
The people in Han Dynasty can only buy some old grain that cannot be eaten by worms, but this does not prevent him from finding a new home.
Zhao Guo is very good.
His father is so generous!
Moreover, this was his willing generosity.
With the constraint of food and grass, Liu Pengzu can feel more at ease with Zhang Qixu and Wei Snake (yi2).
