Through Time Chapter 428

When he heard that Zhao Lang had arrived, a smile appeared on Tian Du’s face and he was about to go out to greet him.

Suddenly, he stopped sharply, then said to the butler at the side that

“When the time comes, you will wait outside and come back in when the king tells you to.”

And only then did he run towards the outside, not long before another letter came from the Xiang side of Chu, putting him under great pressure!

It was pressure that only Zhao Lang could withstand.

Not long after, inside the meeting room, Tian Du was pointing at a map and crying.

“King Zhao, you have to do something for us this time!”

“Xiang, wants us to give up most of the land of Qi, even the original capital city of Linzi, they want to take it over!”

Zhao Lang listened to Tian Du’s cries in silence.

Of course he knew that the other party was faking his crying, and he had to say that everyone’s acting skills were still online.

It was just that the conditions that Xiang had put forward this time were extremely harsh.

To put it simply, it was Qi Di, and they, the Xiang Clan, wanted it for sure!

Zhao Lang could also guess why, the former land of Qi bordered with the former land of Wei.

Now that Qi, Wei and Han were joined together, they were the front line of defense and counter-attack against the Great Qin!

With this line of defence, the former land of Chu would be able to develop its rear in peace.

What is even more absolute is that

Looking at the map, one can see that Xiang occupied the central belly of the whole of China.

Zhao Long’s current forces of Zhao, Qi and Han, all three of them, are in the margins!

To put it bluntly, it means that Zhao Long is divided up in all sorts of ways.

Of course, on the other hand, it was Zhao Lang who surrounded them with these few small corners.

But no one would think so. How could this little corner of land be used to surround Xiang?

So the situation was extremely unfavourable to Zhao Long.

If it was before, Zhao Long would have had to fight hard against the other side.

But now…

When Tian Du had finished crying, Zhao Lang said with a smile.

“King of Qi, do you trust this king?”

The King of Qi said at once that

“Of course my king believes the King of Zhao!”

Zhao Lang at that moment laughed and

“This time is instead an opportunity to sift through the personnel and gather those legacy clans that are willing to follow us and retreat here.”

Zhao Lang drew a line on the map, he wanted Tian Du to retreat everyone to the peninsula in Qi’s homeland.

Tian Du looked stunned that

“King Zhao, is this not giving all the positions to Xiang?”

By retreating to the peninsula, although they would not face an attack from the Great Qin, they would also be completely deprived of the opportunity to forge ahead.

Zhao Lang said indifferently that

“That’s only if they can hold on.”

Tian Du froze for a moment, then said that

“Does the King of Zhao want them to fight the Qin army internally first, and then we will wait for the opportunity to move?”

“But what if they hold out?”

Although Zhao Lang did not remember those details of history, he knew that all the Six Kingdoms rebels did not take advantage of them in the early stage.

So said.

“The Qin army is not that easy to mess with, and the casualties in the early stages must have been heavy.”

Tian Du nodded in agreement, the Qin army had swept through the six kingdoms by force, and naturally the Qin army was not to be underestimated.

So gritting his teeth, he said.

“King of Zhao, I will do as you say, and will go and gather men here.”

“It’s just that…”

Looking at the other party’s desire to say something, Zhao Lang smiled and said

“There is no harm in the King of Qi saying so.”

Only then did Tian Du say that

“Tian Rong has the support of Xiang and is already recruiting troops.”

“Although my king is empty of money, he has few men of use in terms of force.”

A large part of the reason why the legacy of the countries, who were willing to take Xiang’s place, was because of Xiang’s force.

It was not that easy to form a large army.

If Zhao Lang wanted to compete for the position of alliance leader of the six countries, he must also bring some benefits to his allies who followed him.

Faced with Tian Du’s request, Zhao Lang’s face revealed a hint of oddity.

Tian Du also saw it and hurriedly said that

“Don’t worry, King Zhao, the money that is due will not be missing from my king.”

Zhao Long clacked his lips, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

After all, what others would do, Zhao Lang did not know.

But he would be sorry if he didn’t take the opportunity to let some of his own people in.

Coupled with the spider web staff he had asked Niu to plant long ago, Tian Du would be one of his own.

Well, when I think about it, this time when I go to Wuguan, it is the right time to look for King Han Han Cheng and help him get his army up as well.

As a brother, everything is in your heart, no need to say it out loud.

At that moment, Zhao Lang’s face was solemn and he said.

“What kind of words is the King of Qi saying?”

“I’ll take care of this, I’ll immediately pass down the order and have someone help you build a large army!”

Well, let the big dog come over, and bring along the hundred or so skeletons of the new army.

It would be possible to initially raise an army of 10,000 men.

After all, give them no need for an elite army strategy.

These troops, too, were the reserve units for his new army.

When Tian Du heard this, he was overjoyed and said that

“Then thank you, King Zhao!”

“It just so happens that in recent days, the king has obtained some good things, which he specially dedicates to the King of Zhao!”

“Someone come.”

Soon, the butler was seen carrying a jar with extreme solemnity and walked in.

Then the King of Qi also stood up with some seriousness, took the jar, and said that

“King of Zhao, this is a small token of my king’s appreciation, please also accept it.”

Zhao Lang had no choice but to take it, but after a glance, a hint of oddity surfaced on his face.

He had expected it to be some jewellery, but how could he have imagined that it was actually a jar of snow salt of his own production.

Tian Du said at this time that

“This is a newly emerged snow salt and is extremely precious.”

Listening to Tian Du’s words, what could Zhao Lang say?

He could only give a smile and accept it.

After agreeing on these matters, Tian Du then asked.

“What is the reason for the King of Zhao’s visit this time, ah?”

Zhao Lang had already thought of something to say before he came, and smiled back and

“The rising of the war is imminent and my king’s Zhao land cannot move, so I want to go to Yunmengze to meet the Nongjia Sage and see if we can make some progress.”

Mentioning the Sage of the Nong Family, Tian Du’s face suddenly became odd, and said with a few meaningful words between his expressions.

“King Zhao is so dedicated to his cause, he still needs to take care of his health.”

What happened that night was something Tian Du felt he would never forget in his life.

Seeing the other party mention this, Zhao Lang also blushed with an old face and said that

“This the king has counted, this the king has counted.”

“This… It’s also for the purpose of tracking down the traces of King Yan afterwards.”

Of course, both men knew that this was just a pretext.

After all, there wasn’t much information about the descendants of King Yan, and trying to trace them out of thin air would be a fool’s errand.

What’s more, the Goguryeo royal family, also wanted to take the name of the rightful King of Yan, just in time to prepare for the occupation of Liaodong and Liaosi.

After a few more polite pleasantries, Zhao Lang rose to take his leave.

He was pressed for time and could not afford to tarry here.

Soon, Zhao Lang led the way, all the way towards the direction of Martial Pass, and sped off!

At this time, Xianyang.

A Black Ice Guard entered the imperial palace on a fast horse.

Inside the palace, Qin Shi Huang was frowning slightly, Zhao Gao and Li Si were both inside the palace and

“That old thing Kongjia said that he was going to leave Xianyang?”
