Especially during the confrontation in Ningyang, Zhao Run completely fooled Tian Dan, causing Tian Dan to lose face greatly.

As if he guessed Tian Dan's thoughts, Zhao Run said with a smile: "Are you still upset that I 'left without saying goodbye' in Ningyang?"

It may be that Zhao Run's continuous jokes and teasing alleviated Tian Dan's embarrassment, so that Tian Dan finally plucked up the courage to say "Your Majesty" to express his willingness to submit to the Wei monarch.

Zhao Run was not surprised by Tian Dan's surrender. After all, Tian Dan was not as die-hardly loyal as Han General Li Mu. He was still a person who was very persistent in fame and fortune. Knowing that the situation was over, he would naturally do something

A wise choice.

Besides Tian Dan, what Zhao Run values ​​the most is of course Tian Wu, Tian Tian and his son.

To Zhao Run's regret, Tian Wu's father, Tian Ao, a veteran Qi general, was injured in the battle of Lu against Chu generals Xiang Mo and Xiang Pei a few years ago. He passed away shortly after the Qi-Chu war.

It's really a pity.

Of course Tian Wu is also very brave, well, but it is just brave. In terms of strategy, he is still not as good as Tian Ao and Tian Dan. To put it bluntly, they are brave generals like Zhao Jiang, Wu Ji, Jiang Bi, and Cai Qinhu.

As a general, it is more than enough to lead the army to fight in front of the battle, but if you ask them to formulate a strategy, it is far from enough.

As for the rest of the generals such as Zhongsun Sheng, Dongguo Pleiades, Zou Ji, Lu Qiutai, and Ji Mi, to be honest, there are few whose names Zhao Run can remember. It’s not that these generals are unqualified. In the final analysis, they are just defeated by Tian.

Dan, Tian Wu and a few others just competed.

But no matter what, these generals are still excellent generals. Zhao Run believes that these generals will definitely achieve excellent results in the future wars between Wei and Chu.

After appeasing the generals one by one and praising them, Zhao Run ordered a banquet to be prepared in the palace, not only to welcome these generals, but also to welcome them to join the Wei Kingdom.

In view of the attention they received from King Zhao Run of Wei, Tian Dan, Tian Wu, Zhongsun Sheng and other former Qi generals were generally very happy.

A few days later, Zhao Run appointed Tian Dan as the "Langya Shou" and Tian Wu as Tian Dan's deputy general and one of the vanguards to attack Chu in the future.

In fact, to be honest, after defeating Qi, Wei did not care whether to attack Chu or Qin next, but Zhao Run personally still preferred to attack Chu.

There are three reasons:

First, the Chu State has lost its ally Qi State, and has yet to capture Bashu from Qin. Once Wei and Chu start a war, the Chu State army will have absolutely insufficient food and grass.

Secondly, after the Chu State lost a series of commanders and generals such as Shouling Lord Jingshe, Diyang Lord Xiong Shang, Xiling Lord Qu Ping, General Xiang Mo, Xiang Kuan, etc., the country could no longer find anyone capable of commanding "Wei Chu"

The commander of war.

You don’t need to think about it to know that when Wei and Chu go to war in the future, the Chu army’s commander will most likely be Xinyang Lord Xiang Pei, the Xinyang Lord Xiang Pei who was once defeated by Huan Hu.

However, in today's Wei State, although Huan Hu is an excellent general, he is definitely not among the top three in terms of ability. After all, there are Le Yi, Tian Dan, Sima Shang, Xu Li, Yan Kui, etc.

As for the third one, it is the national conditions of the Chu State, which results in the Chu people in the country not being so loyal to the country.

Especially in the past two years, due to Chu Shuijun's military training strategy, arrests of young men have occurred frequently in the Chu Kingdom, and the resentment of the civilians has accumulated to an immeasurable level.

At this time, the Wei State was sending troops to the Chu State, and the civilians of the Chu State might crowd in to welcome the Wei army's arrival.

In comparison, Qin State is much better than Chu State in this aspect. First of all, Qin State has many talented generals, Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi, Changxin Hou Wang Jian, Yangquan Jun Ying Bo, Weiyang Jun Ying Hua,

There are also Wang Ling, Wang Lu, Wang Ben and other outstanding generals.

What's more important is that the people of Qin are fierce and fierce, and King Hui of Qin, who is Zhao Run's father-in-law, is also a hero who will conquer the country personally if he disagrees with him, and will not be afraid of Wei at all.

Coupled with Qin's military merit system, Qin people are generally eager to obtain military merit in wars to improve their social status. This means that once Wei starts a war with Qin, it may not be able to gain any advantage.

It is no exaggeration to say that apart from being inferior to the Wei army in terms of food, grass and armaments, the Qin army was not inferior to the Wei army in terms of fighting spirit, morale, or persistence in victory.

It is for these reasons and based on the idea of ​​​​"picking the weak persimmon" that Zhao Run finally decided to attack Chu next.

In April of the eighth year of Wei Zhaowu, Tian Dan, Tian Wu and other generals who defected to Wei returned to Qi one after another to prepare for the next war against Chu.

The Wei court seized the time to digest the annexed land of Qi, try their best to resolve the Qi people's hatred of the Wei people, and bundled the Qi people into Wei's chariots to prevent Wei from going to war with Chu.
