    Jizhou, Yecheng.

    This is the political center of Zhao State.

    Today, Zhang Shiqi's main job is to stabilize the domestic situation and be ready to respond to Qingzhou Wang Qi's attack at any time.  The army under his command has been divided into two teams. One army is led by Yan Zhong and is heading north to Youzhou to intervene in the battlefield in Youzhou.  Another army, led by Chen Yinhu, stationed at the southern border of Jizhou to guard against Wang Qi's attack.

    In addition, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Chu State have all sent troops respectively and have successfully completed their previous plans.

    Zhang Shiqi is very confident in his heart, because now, Wang Qi is surrounded by soldiers. If there is any movement, Qi will be in trouble.  On this occasion, Zhang Shiqi believed that he was sure to capture Youzhou. As long as he captured Youzhou, his strength would soar and he could directly compete with Wang Qi.

    Furthermore, after a round of planning, he alone got an advantage, while Yuzhou and Yanzhou both had to contend with Wang Qi and did not benefit.  However, for the sake of their respective development, and in order not to be targeted and annexed by Wang Qi, these two states had to send troops to assist.

    This is what Zhang Shiqi is even more proud of.

    When Zhang Shiqi was reviewing government affairs, he saw a memorial, saying that the population in Zhao State was seriously insufficient, and Qi State had introduced various policies in terms of population to increase the population.  Therefore, the memorial recommends lowering the age of marriage and giving certain rewards to those who get married and have children, so that more people can get married and have children.

    After Zhang Shiqi saw it, he thought about it and arranged for someone to notify Tian Ce.

    It didn¡¯t take long before Tian Ce entered.

    Zhang Shiqi said: "Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

    Tian Ce never overstepped his bounds, and still bowed respectfully before sitting down and saying, "Your Majesty summoned me, what's the matter?"

    Zhang Shiqi gave the memorial to Tian Ce and said, "Ling Xi, the imperial censor of the imperial censor in the imperial court, advised that the population in Zhao State is insufficient and needs to be increased. He made many suggestions. What do you think?"

    Tian Ce thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I remember that Qi State has introduced many policies, such as starting from the third child or the fourth child. In short, if you have more children, you will be given more rewards.  We can also adopt this strategy, after all, our Jizhou has a stronger foundation than Youzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou, which is enough to carry out this strategy."

    Zhang Shiqi nodded and said: "Prime Minister, please do some careful research and then draw up a plan. In short, this matter should be arranged as soon as possible."

    Tian Ce said: "These strategies are not difficult, but I still want to say one thing."

    Zhang Shiqi said: "What's the matter?"

    Tian Ce said: "As for Youzhou, the situation is still going on. We have only considered Yuzhou and Yanzhou before. I think that at this time, we can also consider including Xianbei. The war is still going on, and we don't know when it will end."

    "Even if we want to destroy Wang Zongxi and seize the entire Youzhou, it will take more time, so incorporating Xianbei is an excellent strategy. The Wang family and his son had previously destroyed the Xianbei army and massacred the Xianbei royal court. This is a deep hatred."

    "I think we can definitely incite Xianbei to take action. As long as Xianbei takes action, Wang Zongxi will definitely not be able to stop him. At the same time, our time to seize Youzhou will be further strengthened."

    Tian Ce proposed his new strategy.

    After Zhang Shiqi heard this, he frowned slightly and said, "Prime Minister, this is inappropriate."

    Tian Ce said: "The king's concern is that we unite with Xianbei, so it is inappropriate, right?"

    Zhang Shiqi said: "Those who are not of my race must have different minds, but we Central Plains people are uniting with Xianbei, which is inappropriate. Even if the news comes out, it will be criticized by the scholars and it will easily affect the Zhao State."

    Tian Ce shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Miao."

    Zhang Shiqi asked: "What do you mean, Prime Minister?"

    Tian Ce said: "Your Majesty, the Xianbei people want to send troops south and publicize it to the outside world. It is just Xianbei's revenge on Wang Zongxi. We did not send people to instigate the alliance on our own initiative. Furthermore, our people went to Xianbei just to lobby and did not give any conditions.  , If the Xianbei people are willing to go south, then go south. If they are not willing to go south, then give up."

    "Furthermore, Xianbei's current strength has been weakened a lot. The Xianbei people want to go south, at most to retaliate against Wang Zongxi, and it is impossible to occupy Youzhou. Next, after we defeat Wang Zongxi, we can ensure that the Xianbei people are expelled and the Xianbei people are not allowed to  Stay in Youzhou."

    "Even if the Xianbei people stay, if we cover them up and kill them, it will help us win over people's hearts."

    Tian Ce talked eloquently and said: "For us, this is an opportunity. It not only helps us to"Wang Zongxi will also help us control Youzhou in the future, why not do it?"  As for the Xianbei people going south, it was just a means.  Everything we do is to capture Youzhou, why should the king care?  "

    Zhang Shiqi felt a little hesitant in his heart. He instinctively rejected the Xianbei people.

    The current situation seems to be working.

    After Zhang Shiqi thought about it, he felt moved and said, "Okay, let's adopt the Prime Minister's strategy. Just let the Prime Minister arrange this matter."

    "I obey!"

    Tian Ce nodded and answered.

    At this time, a chamberlain came in and reported: "Your Majesty, I have written to ask for an audience."

    "Xuan!"

    Zhang Shiqi gave an order.

    The chamberlain went to notify him, and not long after, Gao Yuanfeng, the official minister, entered.  He bowed to Zhang Shiqi and reported: "Your Majesty, I have just received the latest news from the Qi State. The Qi State has never targeted our Zhao State. Wang Qi transferred some of the garrison troops from the border of Pingyuan County and then mobilized  The soldiers and horses are heading straight to Yanzhou to attack Cao Xuan who is stationed on the border of Yanzhou and Jibei Kingdom."

    "Wang Qi's move is really surprising. Instead of attacking us, he instead dealt with Cao Xuan. As for Xuzhou, there are also a certain number of people guarding Xiapi State to resist the troops from Yuzhou."

    Gao Yuanfeng said: "Wang Qi also arranged for people to guard Chu State far in the south."

    After Zhang Shiqi heard this, his mind changed and he said: "Prime Minister, what does it mean that Wang Qi attacked Cao Xuan?"

    After thinking for a while, Tian Ce said: "Your Majesty, this situation should be very simple. Wang Qi will send out heavy troops to defeat Cao Xuan's troops in a flash. As long as Cao Xuan's forces on the eastern border of Jibei Kingdom are defeated, Wang Qi can immediately turn around.  Go north and attack the south of Jizhou."

    "This is Wang Qi's general strategy."

    "If he takes down the threat of Yanzhou first, he doesn't have to worry about being constrained. As for Yuzhou and Chu, he has deployed defenses, so he can return to the previous situation and continue to attack us to relieve Wang Zongxi's pressure."

    Tian Ce sighed with emotion: "Wang Qi's method is not simple. And this move is also extremely subtle."

    Zhang Shiqi thought about it and said, "How should we deal with it?"

    Tian Ce said: "I suggest you wait and see what happens."

    Zhang Shiqi frowned and said: "Once we adopt the strategy of waiting and watching, it means that we will ignore Yanzhou. By then, what if Cao Xuan no longer resists Wang Qi? At this time, you should give him a helping hand.  Cao Xuan will go all out."

    Tian Ce said: "Your Majesty, how can we help Cao Xuan? General Yan Zhong led an army to leave, and Cavalry General Chen Yinhu left with another army. There are not many troops left in the country. In addition, essentially,  Cao Xuan is also our enemy. It would be great for us to weaken Cao Xuan at this time."

    After hearing this, Zhang Shiqi shook his head and said solemnly: "No, this is inappropriate. In the future, it will be different for us and Cao Xuan to fight against each other. But now we cannot have internal strife in advance. At this time, internal strife can only be resolved by ourselves."  One arm.¡±

    "We can't help Cao Xuan with the army. However, we can give some support with armor, weapons and food. You arrange for people to go to Jibei Kingdom and tell Cao Xuan that although it is difficult for us in Jizhou to send troops to help, we are willing to do our best to support him.  he."

    "This time we support him with 10,000 sets of armor, 30,000 swords, and 80,000 shi of food."

    "Prime Minister, if we can solve the problem with food, it's not a problem. What's more, we can encourage Cao Xuan to fight without spending a single soldier, so why not do it?"

    "I know that Cao Xuan is fighting for us now, not for ourselves, but for Yanzhou. Because Wang Qi's rise will also be detrimental to Yanzhou, that's why Cao Xuan is willing to take action."

    Zhang Shiqi said: "But now, it is worth paying a little price to strengthen Cao Xuan's fighting spirit."

    After hearing this, Tian Ce said: "Your Majesty, I am short-sighted."

    Zhang Shiqi said: "The Prime Minister only considers the interests of Zhao State, but in the long run, it is cost-effective to do things."

    Tian Ce said: "I am going to make arrangements now."

    Zhang Shiqi looked at Gao Yuanfeng again and ordered: "Gao Shangshu, you must pay close attention to the news from various places. Today's timely intelligence is the key to the battlefield, do you understand?"

    Gao Yuanfeng said: "I understand!"

    Zhang Shiqi waved his hand, and Gao Yuanfeng and Tian Ce retreated hand in hand.

    After walking out of the hall, Gao Yuanfeng looked at Tian Ce and said: "Prime Minister, regarding the current war, I always feel that this step is too big. It is not only planning to deal with Wang Zongxi, but also provoking Wang Qi. If this step fails, the consequences will be disastrous."

    Tian Ce stroked his beard under his chin and said: "Gao Shangshu, when we reach the state of Zhao, we can only advance but not retreat. If we retreat at this time, we will be annexed. In this battle, all our plans are to seize Youyou."  Prefecture. With Youzhou here, Zhao will have its rear and confidence. This battle must be pushed forward."

    Gao Yuanfeng nodded. He was still a little worried and felt that this battle would be difficult to handle.

    But now, we can only take one step at a time.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)provoke.  If this step fails, the consequences will be disastrous.  "

    Tian Ce stroked his beard under his chin and said: "Gao Shangshu, when we reach the state of Zhao, we can only advance but not retreat. If we retreat at this time, we will be annexed.
