"Handan", located east of the Taihang Mountains, is not only a strong city, but also has the advantages of mountains, rivers and terrain.

Handan Zhao has operated "Handan" for nearly a hundred years. Although Zhao Zhan has been indifferent to the Zhao clan, Zhao Sheng has been in a very good relationship with the Zhao clan, and has won over the inside and created a Handan Zhao clan that looks like an iron barrel.

It is precisely because the internal stability of Handan Zhao is too stable that Lu Wu, who likes to make friends with others first and then try to annex, stopped his related actions to Handan Zhao in time, and instead provided convenience and limited support in other aspects.

It is not that easy for Wu of the Bank of China to defeat "Handan". As long as there are no major problems within Handan Zhao, even if the current siege equipment has been updated, the Xun army will not be so easy to conquer the city battle against "Handan".

When the envoy from Zhao from Handan came to "Chang'an" to ask for a meeting, Lu Wu immediately received the meeting.

The envoy who represented Zhao from Handan was Zhao Qi, who was Zhao Sheng's third son.

Named "Shuo", "Wu", "Qi"... and other names, there are always a few people in a big family who will be these names. Lu Wu has already had a great immunity to this situation.

"Gours to the King of Han." Zhao Qi looked like a handsome guy. After seeing the courtesy of a foreign minister, he said: "King Xun is unrighteous, and is called "relieving worries by allies, but in fact he acts as a domineering act and should be a public enemy of the world."

He shouted to help his allies defend the city and was doing the matter of seizing the city. Wu's approach in the Bank of China has indeed been criticized by the people of the world, and there were even a lot of opposition from Xun.

Seeing that Lu Wu had almost no emotional fluctuations, Zhao Qi said, "The King of Han is an immortal figure. All the Jin dynasties hope that the King of Han will regain his hegemony, and Zhao Yiran in Handan."

It is a bit unrealistic to ask for help so fresh and refined.

With South Korea's name in name only, who can't see that the princes who had originally separated from Jin State had the ambition to reunify the Four Jins?

At present, the Han State was the most powerful country among the Four Jin Dynasties, but the Han State had a lot of conflicts with Chu State, making it difficult to judge how much power the Han State could put into to complete the unity of the Four Jin Dynasties.

Of course, Xun State was not weak, especially Wu of the Bank of China also persuaded the princes of Qi, Lu, Cao and other truces, making it seem that Xun State could use all its strength to compete with Han State, and even possibly form an alliance with Qi State to deal with Han State, which seems that the gap between Xun State and Han State is not so big.

The Chu State was defeated by the Han State many times in a row, and with the Chu people's character, he absolutely missed to take revenge. So even if Xiong Wei sent an envoy to the Han State to discuss a ceasefire, the princes of the world still did not believe that the Chu State would forget that the previous king died in the battle with the Han army, the Chu State would definitely not really have any peace with the Han State.

According to the speculation of most princes, Xiong Wei, who was in a bad position, will take some time to consolidate and clean up the inside. Once Xiong Wei solves internal troubles, he will immediately attack Fan. Even if the Han State does not save Fan State, and after Fan State is finished, Chu State will undoubtedly go to war against Han State.

Everyone has arranged the State of Chu clearly. Are there any princes who want to make trouble for the State of Chu or do practical actions to interfere with the State of Chu? The princes who want to do so are not strong enough, while the princes with some strength have their own things to do.

Now that entering a great struggle has become a consensus among the princes. They are either busy protecting themselves or wanting to be strong, which makes them more willing to stand by and watch other princes fight to death and lose their strength, and they all think about being the "fisherman".

Zhao Qi said a lot, including Handan Zhao willing to defect to Han, and offered a price that suited his bottom line. What he got was a saying by Lu Wu that was not as innocent as he could, "Let me think about it" and there was nothing else.

Zhao Qi, who had no gains, was very anxious. He immediately sought to see Lu Yang regardless of diplomatic etiquette, hoping to influence Lu Wu from Lu Yang, and then send troops to rescue Zhao from Handan.

"It's really not to do it, but it's impossible to do it." Lu Yang met Zhao Qi and seemed helpless in the face of crying for help.

Zhao Qi said, "When King Xun attacked me with his army, if the city of Handan is broken, my family will never survive. If my family is destroyed, King Xun will no longer worry and will be in danger in the Han Dynasty. Now, it is really a benefit to the Han Dynasty. With my family restraining 60,000 troops under King Xun's command, the Han army can join forces with my family to annihilate the main force of the Xun army. How can we miss this excellent opportunity for the Four Jin Dynasties to return to unite?"

Does the Han Kingdom want to fight Xun Kingdom only have the route to "Hukou"? It must be not!

Zhao Qi just stood from the perspective of Zhao in Handan and said something that sounded very reasonable.

Yes, that's right. If the Han army can capture "Hukou" and then go to rescue "Handan", it is indeed possible to unite with Handan Zhao to annihilate 60,000 Xun's army. But is "Hukou" that easy to fight?

At present, the "Hulao" is controlled by the Han State, which means that the cities in the northern border of Fan State are deterred, and the Han army can travel unimpeded within Fan State.

If the Han State wants to annihilate the main force of the Xun Army, it is not necessary to conquer "Hukou", but it can also use Fan State to go along the river. At that time, it will first force the Xun State capital "Mo", and there is a great chance that the Xun Army, which attacked "Handan", will retreat to rescue "Mo", and then let the Han army find an opportunity to annihilate it, which is much safer than attacking "Hukou" first and then going to "Handan" to face possible three-sided attacks.

This starts with the terrain. To the west of "Handan" is the Taihang Mountains, and the Xun Kingdom built the "Hukou" pass in the Taihang Mountains; then to the east of "Handan" is a river, to the north is the "Jiashi" full of swamps, and to the south is a plain.

Under that terrain, the Han army must have to pay some price to conquer "Hukou". If you win and march to "Handan" again, you will inevitably become a tired army.

When the Han army arrived at "Handan", they would face the main force of the Xun army. Xun State could still mobilize troops from the east and south of "Handan", so the Han army arrived at "Handan" might fall into the dilemma of being surrounded by three sides.

So, it is really hard to say whether the Xun army will be annihilated or the Han army will be annihilated.

Another thing is that Zhao, Handan, has always had a very bad reputation. They betrayed the Zhao clan and failed to whitewash them. Later, they were indifferent to the repeated changes of Jin State. They were obviously able to join Lu Wu's career as soon as possible, but they deliberately avoided it. Who can guarantee whether Zhao Sheng would conspire with Wu of the Bank of China or trade with the Han army?

Zhao Qi left again with disappointment.

"The main priority of the Han Dynasty is to recuperate and collude with the Gentiles. How can it be used to engulf Han and then make a large army move? Even if there is a more suitable partner for using troops than annexing Fan State?" This is Lu Yang's own idea.

Last time, Lu Yang talked to Lu Wu about the future of Han Dynasty and mentioned that he could find an opportunity to swallow Fan State, but he faced Lu Wu's response that he smiled.

That thing made Lu Yang think that he was too simple to see things, and kept thinking about what his father had.

"Young Master, the king is currently focusing on Changqu affairs." Yu Ping reminded.

Yu Ping was Yu Xian's son and was sent to Han State very early. He is currently a "servant" of Lu Yang, which is a position in charge of the prince's traveling.

Lu Yang certainly knew the importance of "Changqu" and said, "For this reason, how can the princes make me happy?"

He had his own subordinates. Even after being "exiled" for five years, the prince's subordinates also wandered outside for five years. Although they were unable to manage anything else, they made their relationship more intimate.

The man dressed in a warrior was named Ge Kang. He was Ge Cun's eldest son, Ren Zhongdun, who was the prince's inner guard.

When Lu Yang returned to Han, unless Lu Wu wanted to abolish his crown prince, he would definitely have to give him the treatment he should have.

Therefore, the staff of Lu Yang, who had all their positions, were all assigned in a very short time after returning to "Chang'an".

Because of the experience of being "exiled", not only did Lu Yang want to show his feelings after returning to China, but the prince also had a strong sense of urgency and agreed that it should play a role in the country, and it would be best to be able to make contributions.

They are just "reserve services". They actually have too few things to do. If you make suggestions and accept them, they will become a channel for making contributions.

"Young Master, why not ask the king to go to Gaoling to supervise the construction of Changqu?" Yu Ping suggested.

Don’t the king attach importance to “Changqu”? The prince is very sensible and anxious about what the king and father are anxious about, so he will definitely get extra points.

Ge Kang said, "When I go there, I may be suspected of winning merits. Besides, I just want to follow the steps of Changqu. How can I show my abilities?"

Song Hao nodded and said, "The army fought in Hanzhong, which meant to spy on Shu. The Han Dynasty valued military merits very much. If the prince did something, I thought it was my first choice to ask for an order to go to Hanzhong."

This Song Hao is Song Bin's second son. After his eldest brother died early, he became the heir of the throne and served as the commander of the prince's guard on the side of the prince.

Military merits? Lu Yang does not lack it.

Although it was only nominally, Lu Yang was still the one who presided over the annexation of Qin and later made repeated contributions to the Yiqu and Wu clans.

But there is an idiom called "times pass by". Five years of exile made many things fade in people's hearts. In addition, the previous contributions were actually arranged by Lu Wu, and Lu Yang was just the one who "picks peaches".

There is definitely no such thing as "the power comes from the barrel of a gun". Some of the awareness that should be had must be achieved when you reach a certain status.

Lu Yang was silent for a while before saying, "I'll go and ask for my father."

The prince's subordinates quickly stood up carefully and saluted Lu Yang in unison, hoping to achieve success.

Lu Wu, who was meeting with the prince of Chu, got a request for advice and thought about it and wanted Lu Yang to come over.

The Chu envoys arrived in Chang'an for some time, and the one who contacted him earlier was Liang Xing, the Taihang Order.

This is also an inevitable step. The Han Dynasty needs to first understand the purpose of the prince to stop the enemy. The two sides first reach a consensus on what to discuss, and then let the king of a country come forward to finalize it.

"Honor has any experience going to Suzhou?" The young master asked Lu Yang curiously.

So, Lu Yang was exiled, and it was hard to say about other vassal states. Chu seemed to know that, and he also kept paying attention to Lu Yang's whereabouts, but he didn't do anything targeted.

That "Gusu" is on the east side of Wuhu Lake, and is a mountain located to the west of "Wu".

The local area is considered the heart of Wu, but it is currently controlled by Chu.

Lu Yang went there to understand the progress of Chu's military operations against Wu. He could not see things at a high level, but he learned a lot.

The young master got a response when he stopped the enemy and asked again: "As the young master said, is it possible for the people of Wu to come back?"

If there is no accident, waiting for Xiong Wei to stabilize the situation, the young master will become one of the core senior leaders of Chu.

Lu Wu had already had a similar talk with the young master. When Lu Yang came to ask for a meeting, he simply gave Lu Yang and the young master a chance to communicate.

According to the news announced by Chu, Wu was considered a country that had already perished, but it was not destroyed in the hands of Chu. Their statement was that the last King of Wu Ji Zha was killed by Yue, which led to the demise of Wu.

Ji Zha indeed died under the harm of King Fu Tan of Yue. The problem is that seven-tenths of the territory of Wu fell into the pocket of Chu, about two-tenths of the territory was occupied by Yue, and the remaining one-tenths became three-noths of the territory.

At present, there are still a large number of Wu people who are unwilling to accept the fact that the country is destroyed. They resisted the rule of Chu and Yue. Yu Xu's son Liao took the remaining soldiers of Wu to the Sishui area and survived, and received secret protection from Zhongwu and Huaiyi.

Lu Yang said: "The Wu people are ignorant, aggressive, and untrustworthy. I believe the young master knows it all?"

In terms of the current era, the description of the Wu people is either belittled or too absolute, and the ruling class of the country needs to bear the blame.

The young master was so hostile to Lu Yang that the Wu people would definitely accept it and said, "The young master is really familiar with the Wu people's nature."

From another perspective, they actually envied the loyalty of the Wu people to the Wu Kingdom. After the fall of the country, they still resisted continuously, and they hoped that the common people under their rule could also be like the Wu people.

Therefore, for the same thing, from their own perspectives, it will have two sides.

"According to what I see, how could Wu Liao sit and watch? He must have the determination to restore the land; Yue is not Yi with him. He can join forces with Wu to fight against Chu, and then seize Yanling Ji Zi and kill him. The intention of coveting Wu Tu is obvious. How could he sit and watch Wu Tu return to Chu?" Lu Yang said.

The current relationship between Chu and Yue is not good. With the fall of Wu, the friction between Chu and Yue is increasing. I don’t know when a war will break out.

Originally, Chu had already felt that Wu was not following the rules, and only after Chu met Yue, he realized what there was no rules at all.

The State of Chu is developing "Juzi" and wants to reclaim a grain-producing land.

During the letters between the young master Ta Di and his elder brother, Prince Lu, he often saw complaints from Prince Lu, saying that he had been attacked by the Wu people and that the Yue people also appeared.

The Chu State was facing troubles when developing "Juzi", so the young master would certainly not mention it to Lu Yang. Since Lu Yang mentioned the threat from Yue State to Chu State, he complained about the more shameless behavior of Yue people.

After seeing the young master, Lu Yang found his old father again.
