Seeing Gongzi Kuan's resolute expression, King Zhongshan took his brother's hand, tears couldn't help falling, and he told with affection: "If you can fight, you will fight, if you can't fight, you will retreat if you can't defend it, and retreat to the capital." As long as our brothers are here, even if Zhongshan is destroyed, we can still make a comeback. Then he said firmly: "Zhongshan was destroyed once, isn't our first lease a successful restoration and more powerful?" As long as Zhongshan people are there, our country will never be destroyed. ”

Gongzikuan was also moved: "Brother, please don't say this, we will never give up easily." ”

The concubine sighed slightly: "My brother's governance has been deceived and there is a deviation, but I need to correct it, I don't know if it's too late for a winter." If it's too late and the country is destroyed because of this, then I will take my responsibility, and then you will take the responsibility of restoring the country. This is the fate of you and my brother, and it is also my plan when I ascended the throne. ”

Childe was stunned for a long time when he heard this, and then he realized that he was always not in the same stream as his brother, and in the face of his own outliers, he spoke out about his opponents, why was his brother so tolerant. Now, he finally understands his brother's good intentions and heart.

Slowly knelt down and cried bitterly: "Brother, I blame you." ”

The concubine sighed with tears in her eyes: "So, do what I ask." ”

Gongzi Kuan stood up suddenly, and said firmly: "I will definitely block Zhao Xing, the real disaster in Zhongshan, in Quyang." One winter, either he stepped over my corpse. Then he stared at his brother: "You can change the scourge of the present half of the Analects with peace of mind." Once things can't be done, ask my brother to leave quietly, and I will defend the national capital to buy time for my brother. ”

Look at the brother who is still arguing: "Although you are at fault, the fault is not yours, no one thought that Zhao Xing was so cunning." Brother, please give up the original kind of thinking, even if Zhongshan destroys the country and restores the country, he needs people like my brother, not a reckless man like me. ”

Holding this younger brother, the concubine didn't feel sad and cried, because he already knew the end of Zhongshan in his heart, that is, he had a premonition of the end of this war. It is not easy to restore the country again, because the mistakes I have made are so great that they have shaken the foundation of Zhongshan, and without a bloody nation, there will not even be a chance to restore the country.

"I will give you all the war horses I can collect, including the war horses that pull the cart for me, give full play to the advantages of our Zhongshan cavalry, and deal with the enemy."

The king took out his cart and war horses, which shows what situation Zhongshan has come.

Historically, Hufu cavalry archery was not Zhao Yong's initiative, in the Central Plains vassal states, the first to have cavalry, it was this Zhongshan country, in their heyday, there were 9,000 chariots, of course, half of them were pulled by oxen. At the same time had a real cavalry of 50 thousand.

It is precisely because of this strength that during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, between the three great powers, they galloped across the country.

But Zhao Xing used a method of raising prices, using commercial warfare to raise the price of grain, so that the Zhongshan people turned their war horses into plough-pulling livestock, so that the vast majority of war horses were wasted. That's why the current embarrassment has emerged.

When I thought of that businessman Han Ce, the real Zhao Xing, the concubine and the female hated itchy. This misfortune in Zhongshan, but he has nothing to do with him, what kind of mood and hatred is this.

It's just that in just three years, he used that kind of conspiracy to turn a thriving power into such a weak country, he really doesn't understand, whether he is too stupid, or the other party's means are too clever.

Standing on the city tower, waving his hand, saying goodbye to his younger brother, he was still in tears, because he clearly saw that his younger brother, Zhongshan's only hope, might not see each other again, either he died in battle or he died in battle. There is no second option at all.

When he returned to the palace, he instructed the eunuchs: "Please invite four national teachers to come." ”

The eunuch order went out, and after a long time, the eunuch order came back and reported to the king: "The four national teachers said goodbye. ”

When the concubine heard such news, she was not angry, because everything was already in the light of day, and he did not blame others for deceiving herself, he only blamed herself for her stupidity.

"Please come to court."

As a result, almost no one attended the court.

The concubines began to walk in peace and go to those great Confucians to invite each other one by one.

He knew that in order to complete the remaining half of the Analects to a real revolution, he would need these great Confucians.

When these great Confucians saw the king of Corporal Lixian, their apprehension was lowered again, and their proud heads were lifted again, because in their opinion, the country still needed their own people.

Looking at the big Confucians who became arrogant again, the concubines had the idea of splitting them all at that time. But, first, there was no more oxen in his hands to break them, and reason told him that he had to rely on them, and on them for the last.

took out the castrated Analects of Zhongshan, and compared them with the real version of the Analects, while debating, arguing, and even quarreling with this group of Confucians. The concubine is trying to correct things that have gone astray.

Time was too tight for him to be angry because he had no chance to be angry.

His anger also needs to be vented, so he vents it on the heads of those soldiers who did not defend the city according to the time, a gentle and elegant king, still generous to the Confucian high-ranking officials, but to the soldiers in front, but wielded a butcher's knife, killing every day is bloody.

This time, everyone really saw the iron-blooded side of this king.

But everyone also felt that the whole atmosphere in Zhongshan was slowly changing, and those Confucian scholars, running among the people, continued to spread their Confucianism, but the original peaceful Confucianism actually contained the connotation of killing.

The people also began to reflect slowly, and they reflected on their own thoughts.

With the arrival of winter, the cold made the attackers sluggish, and the Zhao people's attacks slowly became difficult, and the casualties began to become heavy. One winter, they won it, but it was very easy for a man to fall, and how hard it was to reinvigorate them. It's not something that can be done in half a year.

Seeing that the whole winter has passed, and the weather no longer helps the Zhongshan people, the spring flowers are blooming, and the Zhao people's offensive has begun to become sharp again, Zhongshan, it is really a critical time.

This is an era of warm winter, the bamboo that grows in the north is pumping new and spitting green again, and at the insistence of Zhao Xing, Zhao Yong did not fight this battle of annihilation like history.

Zhao Xing, who was stretching his waist, walked into the bright spring sunshine and said to Le Yi, who had been living in a snail for a winter: "Gongzi Kuan can really endure it, but he just can't hold on, but okay, let's start implementing your strategy now, let's end this damn war as soon as possible." ”

Le Yi gladly accepted.
