oh!

Zhang Han's face flashed with surprise and he looked at Zhang Yi.

The former master Zhang Yi served was the prince. When he took refuge with Zhang Han, Zhang Yi made up all his identity and cover it up at will. Zhang Yi's name is naturally heard by everyone in the world.

However, he rarely shows his true face when he lives in the palace. Naturally, ministers outside the imperial court did not recognize Zhang Yi. As long as Zhang Yi doesn't tell the truth, Zhang Han will naturally not know.

"What good plan does the military counselor have!" Zhang Han looked at the former, with a slight flutter in his heart.

Zhang Yi stroked the beard on his chin, and immediately! Pointing to the northwest, he bowed and said, "Didn't your Excellency capture Han County in Dingzhou? If you use Han County as a bargaining chip, I believe that Liu Xin will definitely send troops to assist you."

Hanjun is a strategically important county in Dingzhou with a large population. When the two states were at war, the soldiers from Zhengzhou and Dingzhou fought in equal numbers, with equal numbers and equal generals. But the only difference is that Dingzhou lacks poisonous men like Zhang Yi.

It was just a small thought of Zhang Yi to capture Han County for Zhang Han! As the best poisoner in the world, his wisdom and strategy are not inferior to those of Xu Meng or anyone else. The only thing he lacks is a truly wise king, a wise king who can make him effective.

The former Lord Dongfang Zhi was such a person. Know people well, be ambitious, even! A polite and virtuous corporal can put down all dignity and cherish his talent as his life. He has been coveting the position of prince for a long time.

With the help of Zhang Yi and Hu Yong, Dongfang Zhi became the crown prince. Then, he entered the East Palace. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When he became the prince, he had to be governed by Dongfang. He was passive all day long and indulged in drinking and music.

It goes against the original intention. With no ambition, the two of them had all their talents, but they couldn't show them at all in front of the latter. and! If there is a slight mistake, the two of them may be killed at any time. This is sad and helpless.

Afterwards, when the prince was defeated, he just wanted to serve someone casually, and occasionally give him advice and beg for food.

hiss!

Zhang Han's face instantly turned livid, using Han County as a bargaining chip to send troops? He was somewhat unwilling in his heart. This place is the transportation fortress of Dingzhou and can be regarded as the gateway to Dingzhou. Moreover, Han County is rich and has a large population.

then! When taking this county, Zhengzhou lost more than 20,000 troops and paid a huge price. But now, if you say you're going to give it back, then you're going to give it back. Isn't that nonsense, tearing off his skin and flesh, and beating his bones?

"Military advisor, we fought hard to defeat Han County... To return it to Liu Xin so easily would be... too easy for him!"

"We in Zhengzhou have all kinds of gold, silver and treasures, but we can't... grant them any other benefits." Zhang Han said in embarrassment.

As the saying goes, "If you can't let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf!"

Zhang Yi's words clearly reflected Zhang Han's character. He is greedy and loves money. Although he occupies a state, he has no city and no ambition. He just wants to guard his own one-third of an acre. Such a person cannot do great things.

actually! Zhang Yi has long seen that people like Zhang Han will only become a stepping stone for others in the end.

But at this time, Zhang Yi still planned to help Zhang Han, after all! The one who conquered Zhengzhou was the Qin army, the army of the King of Qin. He is also a loyal minister, and the prince is his ancestor. He must repay the kindness he received.

The king of Qin destroyed the city and killed the prince. Therefore! This is a big hatred, and it will definitely be repaid easily.

"Sir, if you want to achieve great things, you must not be timid but know how to make sacrifices. Let me ask you, sir, how many troops are stationed in Han County?" Zhang Yi suddenly turned aside and became serious.

"There are thirty thousand troops!" Zhang Han was heartbroken when he saw Zhang Yi's sudden change in temperament.

"So, are there any soldiers and horses in Zhengzhou City?" Zhang Yi asked again.

"Excluding the soldiers who went out to the Zhengzhou border, there are thirty thousand!" Zhang Han thought.

"That's it! That's it. The Qin army is brave. From the time of the Northern Expedition to the Liao Dynasty to the pacification of the Yellow Robe Army, they fought more than a hundred battles, large and small, without losing a single victory. And those who attacked our Zhengzhou City had an army of 60,000, all of them elite. How can I stop such an army with 30,000 soldiers from Zhengzhou?" Zhang Yi analyzed, "Don't forget, my lord, three years ago, King Qin attacked Luo Qi, but it only took him an hour to get there?"

Speaking of the Battle of Luo Qi, it is by far the most typical battle in the world. Explosives broke open the city gate, and the Qin army marched straight in, unstoppable. The 40,000 defenders of Luo Qicheng were useless.

How could Zhengzhou, with its mediocre army, possibly be able to defend the city even if it was the city of God?

Gulu!

Thinking of this, Zhang Han was completely frightened.

"Then... then, as the military advisor said, send Han County to Liu Xin and order him to send troops." Zhang Han finally agreed. Rather than losing a city, he was more afraid of losing his life and the entire territory of Zhengzhou.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yi bowed slightly, and then went down to deal with the letter.

Xiong An, who was guarding Han County, spent the whole day leisurely, eating and drinking wine and meat, completely ignoring what the outside world heard. Since taking over Han County, he has truly become a rich man.

When the King of Qin sent out troops, people everywhere were in panic.

Only Dongfang Yu himself didn't know that in the eyes of the princes of the world, one action of his could cause such a big stir.

In the palace of Prince Qin!

The four concubines Liu Wenxin, Gu Yuena, Zhao Yazhi, and Su Xi, Lu Shi, Luo Shi, and Dongfang Yu's five children, this big family gathered around the dinner table, talking and laughing.

After two years of peaceful life, Dongfang Yu will once again set foot on the battlefield, conquering the east and west, this time! He must end this chaotic world.

"hehe!"

"Son! This is the food my mother personally cooked for you. You always said it! The food my mother cooked is delicious. You will go to the battlefield tomorrow. Today! This big table of dishes is all cooked for you by my mother. ." Luo Shi's red eyes seemed to be filled with tears.

When my son wants to travel far away, a mother will naturally be reluctant to leave him.

"Um!"

Dongfang Yu nodded slightly, picked up the chopsticks, and put a piece of Mapo Tofu into his mouth. The tofu was lubricated and only stayed in the mouth for a moment before slipping into the stomach.

The taste of the home-cooked food remains unchanged.

"Mom, don't worry! I am now the King of Qin, and my fame has already shocked the world. Many princes are frightened by the news. Moreover, I promised my mother to charge into the battle, and I have soldiers under my command. As the King of Qin, I will naturally not go into battle to kill the enemy myself." Dongfang Yu comforted Luo Shi with a smile, his eyes were actually gentle and delicate.

"That's good. You are the King of Qin, and your safety must be the top priority in everything. This time you go on an expedition, I will ask Xu Meng to protect you. You will not be allowed to risk killing the enemy." Dongfang Yu's little thoughts were not hidden after all. She is a mother-in-law.

hiss!

Dongfang Yu's forehead darkened, and he was extremely embarrassed. If it weren't for his own mother, would he really think that Xu Meng was snitching behind his back?
