Chapter 91: Pingqi-kun

Among the fifteen cities captured by Zhao Jia, there are two high mountains, namely Haoshan and Shangshenshan.

Both mountains are thousands of meters tall at an altitude, located in the center of this newly won land, almost dividing the land into two halves.

Among them, Shangshen Mountain is located east of Pingzhou, adjacent to Shengshui and the Great Wall, and is an important place to resist the Qin army.

In addition, near the direction of Taiyuan County of the former Zhao State, there is a continuous mountain range called the Huqi Mountains.

The Huqi Mountains are located in the southwest of Shaoyang Mountain. The three cities that Zhao Jia deceived Qin to trick the Qin State into ceding were located east of the Huqi Mountains.

The State of Zhao was able to preserve Taiyuan County for so many years because of the terrain of Shaoyang Mountain and Huqi Mountain.

Huqi Mountain and the city near Zhaoyuqi in the eastern part are collectively called Qidi.

Huqi Mountain is the barrier to the western part of Zhao State, and Zhaoyuqi is even known as one of the nine major lakes. The plain accumulated by the silt in the Fen River makes Zhaoyuqi a very fertile fertile field around it.

Before this, Zhao Yuqi was at the junction of Qin, Zhao and Han, and this land belonged to Qin, like a fist blasting into Zhao and Han's hinterlands.

When Qin State seized this land, not only because its strategic location is important, but also because this land is very fertile, it is a grain-producing land.

But now, this land has been taken back by Zhao Jia.

Of course, Qi land can only represent the southern part of the land seized by Zhao Jia. Since there is still a large area of ​​land in the north and the dangerous mountain of Shangshen Mountain as a barrier, Zhao Jia called this newly captured land the land of Shenqi.

Zhongyang is located in the center of Shenqi, facing the Huqi Mountains in the east and Lishi Fortress in the north.

At this time, Zhao Jia was leading his civil and military troops to station in Zhongyang.

"The prince's father named me Pingqi Jun, and gave me fifteen cities in the land of Shenqi as fiefdoms, and ordered me to command 20,000 cavalry under my command to station here to defend against Qin."

"What do you think about this?"

The sudden enthronement did not make Zhao Jia blinded by joy, but his face became a little solemn.

After hearing this, Fan Zeng and Li Si looked at each other, their eyes showed a complex look of surprise and worry.

Zhao Jia, who was only twenty years old, was named Pingqi Jun and had fifteen cities as fiefs.

Such an honor is unique throughout the history of all countries.

You should know that even Huang Xie, the Chunshen Jun of Chu, who is now in power, was granted only twelve cities as fiefs because he followed King Xiong Wan of Chu to Qin for several years, and finally helped Xiong Wan flee back to the country to inherit the throne.

Being named king and having a vast fiefdom means that Zhao Jia will be able to recruit civil and military officials and military troops openly in the future.

Zhao Jia has the final say in the military and political power in the fifteen cities.

This is equivalent to that Zhao Jia, who was named Pingqi Jun, was already equivalent to a small prince and almost had completely independent political and military rights.

Although Shenqi's land still belongs to Zhao State in name, it can be regarded as Zhao Jia's private territory.

As long as Zhao Jia has the ability and let the people in Shenqi completely return to their hearts, it will be difficult for even King Zhao to point fingers at this land in the future.

Such a reward is rich, and it is even somewhat rich and unbelievable.

As Zhao Jia's disciple, Li Si and Fan Zeng were naturally honored to see the owner receive such a reward.

Unfortunately, both Li Si and Fan Zeng are very smart people.

They can also see potential crises and the sorrow of being used as chess pieces from behind glory.

Nowadays, if we say who Qin hates the most, it is Zhao Jia.

Zhao Jia first played Qin State in applause, bewitching Qin State abandoned Zhao to attack Wei, which led to Wei State inviting Wei Wuji, a great god, to manipulate the feat of the six countries to unite.

Zhao Jia even took advantage of the time when Qin was exhausted to deal with the coalition army and led his army to lead his army to the fifteen cities of Qin.

The three kingdoms of Chu, Wei and Han were also because of Zhao Jia's actions that they dared to occupy a large area of ​​Qin's land while withdrawing their troops.

Zhao Jia's successive feats have completely offended Qin State. Whether it is King Qin or Lv Buwei, they must have hated Zhao Jia to the core at this time.

Zhao State was afraid of possible revenge in Qin State, and was unwilling to hand over the land to Qin State, so he had to come up with this bad strategy and grant the entire Shenqi land to Zhao Jia.

If Zhao Jia can defend this fiefdom, Zhao State can naturally rest assured.

Even though Zhao Jia ultimately failed to defend this land, Zhao State had enough excuses and space to continue to deal with Qin State.

"Have you ever thought about what if Qin State raises troops to seize the land?"

Fan Zeng's face was extremely solemn.

Li Si also said: "Now there are only 20,000 cavalry in Shenqi. Although these 20,000 cavalry are elite troops, they are still difficult to stop the Qin army."

"What's more, Shenqi's land was Qin before, and the people obeyed Qin's discipline for many years, and it may be difficult for them to return to their hearts in a short period of time."

"If Qin raised an army to seize the land, King Zhao might not have given him all his strength to help. At that time, the people in the territory were the supporters of the Qin army, and the possibility of defending him was extremely slim!"

"Ka, da, da!"

Zhao Jia knelt in front of the case, and his right finger unconsciously hit the table, but the solemn expression on his face gradually faded.

He knew that no one under his command was a fool, and he could see the danger behind glory.

If even himself were afraid of Qin at this time, and if Qin really brought troops to invade in the future, his civil and military officials would not have the confidence to fight with Qin.

Therefore, even though Zhao Jia was worried, a smile began to gradually appear on his face.

"The soldiers come and the generals stop them, and the water comes and the soil covers them."

"If the Qin army does not come, it will be fine. If I really dare to come and seize the land of Shenqi, I have a good plan to defeat the enemy. Don't worry."

"This young master was named Pingqi Lord, which is a great joy. I have passed on my order to reward the three armies with my private treasury money and grain, and in the future, the military salary of soldiers in Shenqi's territory will be doubled!"

"Not only that, I am also planning to build a Tianxiang Building in all cities in Shenqi. As long as the army comes to drink and eat, all the costs will be reduced by half!"

When the generals and officials heard this, their worries were slightly reduced, and then they all showed joy.

Zhao Jia's wealth is well known to everyone in Zhao, and the generals and officers have no doubt about the authenticity of rewarding the three armies.

As for the spirits and delicacies in Tianxianglou, they were almost exclusively enjoyed by dignitaries and nobles, and ordinary people could not afford them at all.

But now.

Zhao Jia planned to build Tianxiang Tower in every city in Shenqi, and treat all the soldiers with half price.

That means that in the future, all the people in the army will have the opportunity to go to Tianxianglou to spend money.

Don't think this is just a trivial matter.

For ordinary people, going to Tianxianglou to spend money is like a hard-working worker from later generations who can live in a five-star presidential suite for one night, which is enough to brag about it for the rest of their lives.
