Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 447

Looking at the excited nobles in front of him, Zhao Sheng suddenly felt that what his king said was really right.

Zhao Sheng smiled and said to the nobles of the Zhao Kingdom in the hall: "Please don't get excited, you must know that the king is a benevolent king, and he has always thought of the people. Since we are summoned at this moment, we will definitely not let everyone suffer. .”

Zhao Sheng paused for a moment, and then continued: "Don't you think that this title is not just for promotion, but can be exchanged for? Don't you have only one eldest son in your heart? Can't you have no other favorite son?"

As soon as Zhao Sheng said these words, the whole hall suddenly became silent.

Because of Zhao Sheng's words, the nobles of the Zhao Kingdom present found a blind spot in their thinking.

Although this food can be used to promote the title, it can also be used to increase your own title!

For example, if there is a senior doctor present, the title will be passed on to his eldest son after his death.

But this senior doctor must be very satisfied with this eldest son?Actually not necessarily.

In many cases, a parent with many children does not necessarily like the oldest one, but prefers the younger children.

But the eldest son inheritance is a system after all, a system that has been established since the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty and has been maintained for thousands of years.

Although it is not impossible to violate this system, but in many cases, the inertia of this system that has been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years is very amazing, causing many nobles to be unwilling to violate such a system even if they do not like their eldest son. Inheritance system.

But now is the chance.

As long as this senior doctor is willing to pay enough food, then he can also get a title for his favorite young son.

Ordinary titles are of course not taken seriously, but the title of a doctor is enough to ensure that this young son can also be among the ranks of Zhao's nobles.

In this way, after the death of the senior doctor, his eldest son will be a lower doctor after being demoted to the rank of Xijue, and his youngest son will also be a lower doctor, which means that the two children are standing on the same starting line.

Isn't this a very happy thing for this father who prefers his youngest son?

So soon, all the complaints and dissatisfaction disappeared instantly.

A gray-haired doctor from the Zhao Kingdom raised his hand tremblingly, and said, "I would like to exchange [-] shi of food in my family for the title of a doctor!"

Almost at the same time, the voice of another Zhao Guoxiaqing also sounded: "I am willing to exchange fifty thousand stones of food in my family for the title of Zhongdofu!"

"I would like to"

Many voices rushed towards Zhao Sheng at the same time, completely drowning Zhao Sheng in an instant.

Soon, the food reserves donated by many nobles reached an astonishing 20 shi, and this number is still increasing.

In the end, all the figures were fixed at 32 shi.

Zhao Sheng was very excited as he held the pledge list in front of him.

With the 32 shi of grain, at least enough for Handan City to hold on for one more month!

Moreover, there were still some nobles of Zhao State who were hesitant and did not immediately pledge to donate food.

But Zhao Sheng believes that as long as a few days pass, more people will pledge to donate food.

After all, once those spoiled youngsters know about this, it wouldn't be a big fuss

It is definitely a matter of time for these hesitant nobles to let go.

In this way, the food in Handan City can last for two months.

Zhao Sheng believes that these two months are enough for Zhao's army to win decisively in other directions!

Chapter 441 General Li Mu, this is absolutely impossible! (fourth more)

June 257, 4 BC.

Ching Ming Festival.

During the Qingming Festival, there are many rains.

Continuous drizzle fell from the sky, and the entire Daliang City was covered by dense raindrops.

Northwest of Daliang City.

Li Mu stood where he was, completely ignoring the rain that fell from the sky, and stared at Daliang City in front of him with a calm expression, looking neither sad nor happy, as if he was looking at a city that had nothing to do with him at all.

But Xu Li, the deputy general of Zhao Jun who was standing beside Li Mu, was obviously not as calm as Li Mu.

Xu Li said to Li Mu worriedly: "General, can this matter really succeed?"

Li Mu waved his hand confidently, swaying a cloud of raindrops, and said to Xu Li in a decisive tone: "Don't worry, the general, this time the Wei people are doomed."

But it was obvious that Xu Li couldn't rest assured. He stared at the gap that appeared out of thin air in front of him, with a worried expression on his face.

Since the siege of Daliang City, what Li Mu paid most attention to was not the attack on the city. On the contrary, except for sending some soldiers to participate in the siege, Li Mu used the rest as migrant workers.

Since they are migrant workers, they obviously have to do some big projects, and what Li Mu is facing is precisely such a huge project.

In front of the two, tens of thousands of Zhao soldiers were sweating profusely and digging hard.

With the hard work of these Zhao soldiers for half a month, a canal that is several miles long has appeared in front of everyone.

It only needs to dig a little bit more, and the raging Yellow River will be completely diverted, flooding Daliang City into a land of water!

In fact, standing beside Li Mu at this moment is not only his lieutenant general Xu Li, but also another person.

Naturally, this person was Jin Yan, the leader of the Korean army who was in charge of leading the [-] Korean troops to fight with Li Mu this time.

At this moment, Jin Yan looked at the scene in front of him with the same shock on his face.

Jin Yan was invited here today.

In the past half a month, Jin Fu spent most of his time in charge of attacking Daliang City.

Regarding Li Mu's arrangement, Jin Fu actually didn't have much opinion.

After all, among the coalition forces of Zhao and South Korea, the South Korean army obviously accounts for the majority, and for some reason, Jin Yan does not want his army to be controlled by Zhao people.

Therefore, Jin Yan had already made psychological preparations for the South Korean army to serve as the main force of the attack before going out.

There is no doubt that Jin Yan is actually a very responsible general.

It is precisely because of his responsibility that Jin Yan has been living in the Han army camp these days, personally directing the offensive against Daliang City.

Jin Yan knew very well that as long as Daliang City was captured, Wei Wangyu would definitely not be able to escape.

As long as Wei Wangyu is captured, no matter whether Wei Wuji is willing or unwilling, Wei Guo must demand peace.

On the other hand, if the Wei Qi coalition forces break through Handan first.Then the loser of this war becomes the State of Zhao.
