In fact, Gao Yuan's hope for this alliance is not in tactics, but in strategy, hoping that after the alliance of the three kingdoms, it will form a deterrent force for the Qin State, buy a certain amount of stable development time for itself, and digest the fruits of this battle. The goal of the Juti is to use the joint column to open up trade routes between the two countries and increase the income of Daijun, after all, no matter in that era, wars must be backed by economic strength. As for the purely military aspect, the plateau did not have much expectation of Qi and Chu, and did not expect the three countries to form an alliance to attack Qin.

Of course, Zhang Liang understood the intention of the plateau, so from the next day, on behalf of Daijun, he and the envoys of Qi and Chu started a meeting on the matter. Gao Yuan did not participate in the detailed negotiations, and completely handed them over to Zhang Liang to deal with, firstly, he was assured of Zhang Liang's ability; Second, because Daijun still has a lot of things to deal with, it is impossible for Gao Yuan to focus on the negotiation of the alliance.

Gao Yuan first summoned Ning Qi, Shen Shen, and Geng Zhong, and told them to temporarily stop preparing for the establishment of the country and claim the king, and it would not be too late to wait for the results of the alliance and alliance of the three kingdoms to come out.

Although the three of them were a little unwilling, they also knew the importance of this time to Daijun, and it was Gao Yuan's decision to postpone the establishment of the country and claim the king, and it was only postponed, not completely canceled, so they did not argue with Gao Yuan and accepted Gao Yuan's order.

As for the three points proposed by Gao Yuan to be solved immediately, after a few days of discussion, the three of them discussed the other two points except for the last one, which was the complete destruction of the Yan Kingdom.

The first point is the rezoning of the existing area, and there are currently nine counties under the jurisdiction of Dai County, namely Yunzhong County, Yanmen County, Dai County, Shanggu County, Julu County, Dongyang County, Guangyang County, Yuyang County, and Youbeiping County.

After the discussion of the three people, it was decided that the four counties divided by the original Dai County remained unchanged, but the Guangyang County of Yandi was placed under the jurisdiction of Shanggu County, and among the other four newly acquired counties, Julu County and Dongyang County were merged into Julu County, and Yuyang County and Youbeiping County were merged into Yuyang County, so that the nine counties were redivided into six counties, and the highest administrative official of each county was Taishou, and under each county, it was divided into several counties, and the county-level officials were county orders, forming a two-level administrative system.

As for the second point of moving the capital, Ning Qi, Shen Shen, and Geng Zhong recommended two places to the plateau after careful investigation, one is Lingshou County, and the other is Gu County.

According to the new administrative division, these two places belong to the scope of Handan County, Lingshou County, which is the west of Lingshou County, Hebei Province, which is located in the central and western part of Hebei Province, forty miles northwest of Shijiazhuang City; Gu County is the later Dingzhou City of Hebei Province, located in the central part of Hebei Province, about 70 miles northeast of Shijiazhuang City, and the distance between these two places is about 80 kilometers.

Lingshou County and Gu County happened to be the capitals of Zhongshan in the past.

Zhongshan State is in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, in the area of the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain in the central part of Hebei Province, the establishment of a Zhubai tribe of Zhuhou country, in hundreds of years, the rise and fall, several ups and downs, twice perished, and once rose, its historical process is very tortuous.

The predecessor of Zhongshan Kingdom was the Xianyu tribe of the Di tribe in the north, surnamed Bai Di Ji, who lived in the Suide area of northern Shaanxi at the earliest, and gradually moved to the Taihang Mountains. Although the monarch is surnamed Ji and is a branch of the Zhou royal family, because the main body is composed of the Baidi tribe, it is still regarded as a barbarian country by the Central Plains countries, and has been at war with the Central Plains countries many times.

In the spring of 652 B.C., Xian Yu attacked Xing, and the following year he conquered Weiguo, as a result, Xing Jun fled, Wei Jun was killed, and later the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, Qi Huan Gong, united the forces of Song, Cao, Xing, and Wei to defeat Xian Yu, and only then did Xing and Wei save them from destruction. Therefore, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Xianyu has always been regarded as a major problem in China by the Central Plains countries.

And in the middle and late Spring and Autumn Period, the rise of the Jin Dynasty, became the main enemy of the Xianyu tribe, the two sides launched a decades of warfare, the Jin State relied on its own strong national strength, and gradually destroyed the Drum, Fei, Qiu You and other Xianyu peripheral subject states, the upper hand, but the Xianyu tribe was not to be outdone, repeatedly counterattacked the Jin State, in the autumn of 507 BC, Xianyu sent troops to the Jin State Pingzhong, defeated the Jin army, captured the Jin warrior Guanhu, achieved a great victory, and in 506 BC, Xianyu people founded a country in the dangerous Zhongren City (now Sushan in the northwest of Tang County, Hebei Province), because there are mountains in the Zhongren City, so the country is named "Zhongshan", which is the early Zhongshan country.

From then on, Zhongshan began to appear in the history books, and began to intervene in the disputes of the Central Plains countries, but at this time, the biggest enemy of Zhongshan was still the Jin State, so the war that Zhongshan participated in was mainly to unite with other candidate countries and fight with the Jin State. However, due to the strong national strength of the Jin State, so the Zhongshan State always won less and lost more, in 457 BC, the Jin State sent Xinzhi Mu Zi to attack Zhongshan, directly into the hinterland of Zhongshan, occupied the two cities of Zuoren and Zhongren, Zhongshan State was fatally hit, and was once forced to the edge of the country. Fortunately, not long after, the Jin Kingdom was divided by the Zhao, Wei and Han families, and the Zhongshan Kingdom also got a respite.

In 414 BC, Wugong of Zhongshan led his tribe to migrate to the eastern plains and established a new capital in Gu (present-day Dingzhou, Hebei). And imitate the etiquette system of the Chinese countries, establish the political and military system of the Zhongshan State, and carry out the initial governance of the country, at this time the Zhongshan Kingdom can be regarded as a formal country, and dissolved into the Chinese civilization.

But in 410 BC, Wei sent the famous generals Le Yang and Wu Qi to command the army to conquer Zhongshan, and after three years of hard fighting, they occupied Zhongshan in 407 BC, and the remnants of Zhongshan retreated into the Taihang Mountains, which was the first time that Zhongshan fell to the country.

After the destruction of the Zhongshan Kingdom, Zhongshan Huan Gong succeeded to the throne, after more than 20 years of hard work, accumulating strength, and finally around 380 BC, taking advantage of the death of Wei Wen, the domestic situation was unstable, and the Zhongshan Kingdom was revived again, and this time it must be in Lingshou.

After the revival of the Zhongshan Kingdom, it happened to be located in the northeast of the Zhao State, separating the northern and southern parts of the Zhao State, so it became a problem for the Zhao State. However, after the death of Zhongshan Huan Gong, Zhongshan Chenggong ascended the throne, inherited the legacy of the ancestors, and continued to learn the Central Plains social system, develop national strength, so that the national strength was further strengthened, Zhao State in 377 BC, 376 BC had twice attacked Zhongshan State, both were resisted by Zhongshan State, no success. Therefore, Zhongshan once became the eighth male in addition to the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, and completely accepted Chinese culture. And the countries of the Central Plains no longer dare to underestimate Zhongshan, and even pull Zhongshan into the alliance.

In 314 BC, civil strife broke out in the Yan Kingdom, and the Qi State took the opportunity to invade the Yan Kingdom. Seeing that there was an opportunity, Zhongshan sent Xiangbang Sima Cheng to lead the army to attack Yan in the north, seize dozens of cities, occupy hundreds of miles of Yan land, and the prestige was greatly enhanced, which was the heyday of Zhongshan State.

But since then, Zhongshan has lost its enterprising spirit, began to be content with pleasure, conservative and self-styled, coupled with a series of improper domestic and foreign policies, the national strength gradually declined. And just at this time the rise of the Zhao State, Zhao Wuling King in order to improve the combat effectiveness of the army, the implementation of Hufu cavalry shooting, so that the national strength is strong, in 305 BC, 296 years, twice sent troops to attack Zhongshan, and in 296 BC to conquer the Zhongshan Kingdom Turin Shou, the Zhongshan King Shang migrated to Fushi, so far the Zhongshan Kingdom since the late Spring and Autumn Period, after more than 350 years, finally declared extinct.

The rise and fall of the Zhongshan Kingdom is very typical in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, no matter how big or small the country is, as long as the ruler is diligent and cares about the people, and works hard, the country will prosper; And when the darkness manipulates power and indulges in extravagance, the country will decline and fall.

At this time, about 60 years have passed since the death of Zhongshan, and the former capitals of Zhongshan Lingshou and Gu have become the county seats of Zhao State, but these two places have been capitals after all, and the basic conditions are of course better than other places, so as the new capital of the plateau, it is of course very suitable. Of course, the choice of which place is also chosen by Gao Yuan.

Gao Yuan was very satisfied with these two places, and after some consideration, Gao Yuan finally decided to set up the new capital in Lingshou County.

Because Lingshou County is the capital of Zhongshan after the restoration of the country, Zhongshan has been operating here for nearly a hundred years, so the social foundation and agricultural economy are very developed, and after the destruction of Zhongshan by Zhao, Lingshou was not destroyed, and the conditions are of course better than Gu County.

In addition, the geographical conditions of Lingshou are also better than Gu County, relying on the barrier of Taihang, choking the throat of Jin, relying on the moat of the Hutuo River, the convenience of the war and relocation, although it is not as solid as the Qin State according to Cuihan, and the wilderness of Yongzhou, but the terrain is superior, but it is not under the Handan of Zhao State and the secluded thistle of Yan State.

And the most important thing is that Lingshou is located on the north bank of the Hutuo River, which can not only add a natural line of defense to Lingshou, but also a waterway with convenient transportation, because the Hutuo River is a tributary of the Yellow River, and the Yellow River is divided into three rivers in this era, which can connect the two countries of Qi and Yan, which is very beneficial to the transportation of materials and trade exchanges, and it is the plateau that has always attached importance to commercial development, so if the capital is built in Lingshou, there is a convenient waterway transportation, which is very important to promote the development of the commercial economy.

However, after all, the demise of Zhongshan has been more than 60 years, although Lingshou has not been damaged, but in the construction of city defense, the layout of the city, compared with the previous capital of Zhongshan, there have been great changes, so if you want to be the new capital of the plateau, you also need to carry out some engineering construction and regulation, from which it is the plateau to say that the momentum of the founding of the king has been ironclad, but sooner or later, then Lingshou should also be built according to the standards of the real capital, first of all, to strengthen the city wall, strengthen the city defense, This is also the most basic condition for a capital city, and secondly, it is necessary to build a formal royal palace in Lingshou City, and it can no longer be as shabby as Daijun.

Gao Yuan does not have too many objections to this, after all, now his own power is indeed not small, since he wants to officially call the king to establish the country, then there should be a country, the necessary construction, like the palace of the royal city should also be, but the plateau requires three people, one qiē try to be simple, the scale is appropriate, do what he can, and can't be too wasteful.

So everyone finally decided that Shen Shen would go to Lingshou first to investigate, and then decide how to build.
