When everyone came out of the palace, it was getting dark. A gust of evening wind blew, and everyone felt much cooler.

Zou Yan and the other four said goodbye to each other and returned one after another.

Zou Yan looked at his old friend Lu Zhonglian and said, "Brother Zhonglian, let's have dinner together!" ”

Lu Zhonglian looked at Zou Yan and knew what his old friend was worried about. This old friend is now sparing no effort for the sake of his son. This is because the prince Ji Kang just now said something about Qi Guo to everyone in the palace, and he wanted to comfort himself!

With a smile on his face, he nodded, and said to Zou Yan, "Brother Zou Yan, go, go to my house, today the housekeeper got a good big crucian carp from Pingshun City, and you old guy is blessed again." ”

Zou Yan also laughed and said, "Very good." ”

Ji Kang specially divided a courtyard on the side of the royal palace of Pingshun City to house many officials from Xiangping City. There is an army guard outside, and there is no problem with safety.

Because he only lived for a few months, he was a little shabby, and he was far from the residence of many officials in Xiangping City, but it was also much better than ordinary people.

When he came to Lu Zhonglian's residence, because his family did not come, there was only an old housekeeper and a few small servants waiting, but the treatment of Yaqing was not less at all.

After Lu Zhonglian and Zou Yan entered the house, Lu Zhonglian said to the housekeeper who followed into the house, "Let's eat!" Tell the kitchen to add two more dishes and prepare more jugs of wine. ”

The old butler hurriedly bowed down and said, "No." ”

The two sat down, and after a while, the two servants brought a few dishes with wooden plates. The two little servants were also very eye-catching, and after setting the wine and food on the table in the house, they withdrew from the house with the old butler.

Lu Zhonglian poured a glass of wine for Zou Yan with his own hands, then filled the wine glass in front of him, raised the wine glass and said, "Brother Zou Yan, please." ”

Zou Yan also picked up the wine glass, touched it with Lu Zhonglian, and drank it all in one gulp.

After three rounds of drinking, the two of them ate a few bites of food and put down their chopsticks.

Zou Yan knew how smart his old friend was, so he didn't try to beat around the bush, and said directly to Lu Zhonglian, "Brother Zhonglian, what do you think of Kang'er's strategy for my Liaodi and the plan for Qi Guo?" ”

Lu Zhonglian didn't immediately take Zou Yan's words, picked up the wine jug and filled the wine glass in front of the two of them, and then sighed, "Brother Zou Yan, after Kang'er destroyed the Ji Kingdom and established the two counties of Liaonan and Hancheng, the northeast of the Central Plains was also unified, and the overall situation of the Yan Kingdom was basically half decided. ”

"You and I also know that Kang'er has a big heart. His eyes are now set on the countries of the Central Plains, including your and my mother country, the Qi country, and the old man is actually prepared in his heart, so he will not be surprised. ”

"Brother Zou Yan, I know that your Taoists have the "Technique of Hoping for Qi", and I also know that you are slightly involved, can you tell the old man about the future of my Liaodi and even Kang'er. ”

Zou Yan nodded, touched the beard under his chin and said, "Brother Zhonglian, my Taoist has always had a "saying of hope", and the old man has also read and written many people's books, which is actually very simple. You and I are talking about this, not ordinary people, let's talk about kings! “

"In fact, it is to look at the mountains and rivers where this king is located, the number of Qiantou, the number of soldiers under his command, the elite, etc., and then combine the king's own physical condition, mind, and even ambition, etc., and give a judgment on the future direction of this king and even the country."

This doctrine, especially the art of looking at qi, is not so much the doctrine of prediction and estimation. The people are ignorant, so they are mysterious, but in the eyes of the old man, there is no mystery at all. ”

"Since Brother Zhonglian asked him to talk about Kang'er, the old man will trespass here once. Brother Zhonglian, when Kang'er came to Liao, he was only six years old, and even when Brother Zou Yan invited you and me to Liao, didn't you and I have many concerns? ”

"The old man wants to ask Brother Zhonglian, after the two of us come to Liao, do you and I get along with Kang'er, do you feel half uncomfortable?"

Lu Zhonglian shook his head and said to Zou Yan, "Brother Zou Yan, the old man and Kang'er are together, there is no hindrance, and they are as happy as food!" ”

Zou Yan smiled and said to Lu Zhonglian, "That's it, the old man feels the same way." This proves that Kang'er's bearing, morality, and even conduct in the world, although she is young, are all the best choices. It can make people live for it, or it can make people die for it. That's what it takes to be a successful king! ”

"Let's talk about other things, you and I have been here for several years, and I have watched this Liao land get better and better day by day, and it is more and more prosperous year by year. Now Liaodi has jurisdiction over nine counties, nearly 200 counties, millions of people, and the people are solid. There is no great enemy outside, and government affairs are repaired internally. In addition, considering Kang'er's age, the future is promising! ”

Lu Zhonglian looked at Zou Yan and said to Zou Yan, "Brother Zou Yan, you and I are here, and there is no one else." How about comparing Kang'er and Liaodi with the Central Plains? ”

Zou Yan picked up the wine glass in front of him and touched it with Lu Zhonglian again, drank it, ate a mouthful of food, and put down the chopsticks.

said to Lu Zhonglian, "Brother Zhonglian, today is a good time for wine, you and I will talk about the affairs of this world!" Now that the Zhou room is weak, the princes of the world see this and rise up one after another. did not respect the orders of the Son of Heaven, and wars were frequent. ”

"Therefore, the world has become a country without peace, a year without peace, a state without fixed relations, and the people are displaced and chaotic."

"The princes of the world have contended with each other and annexed with each other, and many princes have been afflicted. Today, there are less than 20 countries. And only Qin, Chu, Zhao, Qi, Han, Wei, and Yan are the most of the seven countries, and there is the possibility of competing for the world. ”

"The battle for the world lies in the word 'fight', that is, to see who can get the first opportunity."

"The ancestors of the Qin State worked hard. After the passage of the Qin State, Qin Xiaogong's Shang Ying changed the law, and King Qin Hui's Lianheng expanded diplomatic relations, and the national strength has gradually become stronger after waiting for the opportunity to go east. And the current Qin Wang Yingji, who has been in power for the longest time in the past Qin kings, has rich experience. ”

"The Qin State swallowed the two countries of Bashu in the south, occupied Hanzhong again, and merged Han and Zhao in the east, and had already taken the lead. Therefore, everyone in the world says that Qin is the most likely to take over the world. Before the old man came to Liaodi, he thought so. ”

"Chu is also a big country, if Hanzhong is in hand, and then occupy Bashu, it is not impossible to dominate the world. However, the kings of Chu were superstitious about ghosts and gods, and did not know people and things. ”

"Therefore, Hanzhong was captured by Qin, and then lost the land of Bashu, plus a few years ago, the Chu State expedition to Yelang, the people and money, and the national strength was not as good as before. Therefore, the old man thought that the state of Chu had also lost the qualification to dominate the world. ”

"The State of Qi also had a chance, but after King Qi was proclaimed emperor and invaded the Song Dynasty, it was invaded by all countries in the world. Although the state of Qi was finally restored, its vitality has been greatly damaged, and it coincides with the general trend of unification of the world. Therefore, there is no possibility for Qi State. ”

"Zhao Guoyuan was known as the head of the six countries in the Kwantung region, but in the Battle of Changping last year, Zhao was defeated and the domestic elite was lost. If the old man says that Zhao still has a chance to unify the world, I am afraid that even Brother Zhonglian will say that this is a joke. ”

"As for Han and Wei, among the seven countries, the national strength is currently the last two. I am afraid that the two countries are close to the four countries of Qin, Zhao, Chu and Qi, and there is no room for development. It is impossible to talk about the unification of the world. ”

"After Kang'er came to Liaodi, he first improved people's livelihood and laid a solid foundation; then develop the industry, and the Liaodi will become richer; This is for people and. In the end, he trained elite soldiers, went east to Goryeo, south to the Ji country, north to the tribes, and west to drive Donghu, and the general trend has now been achieved. And the unification of the world, this is the general trend, and the six countries occupy it. ”

Speaking of this, Zou Yan looked at Lu Zhonglian and said, "Brother Zhonglian, whoever takes the world is only possible if the time, place, and people are all three." I don't know, can you agree with the old man's statement? ”

Lu Zhonglian nodded, and said without hesitation, "Brother Zou Yan, what you said is extremely true. The old man and Brother Zou Yan's thoughts are no different. ”

After hearing this, Zou Yan continued to say to Lu Zhonglian, "Brother Zhonglian, the Qin State has a favorable time and place, but there is a lack of people in the world. The people of the world do not want to return to Qin, and the name of 'Violent Qin' is famous all over the world, but it is lost. ”

"What's more, since the Battle of Changping last year, the Qin State has killed hundreds of thousands of prisoners of the Zhao State. Now Qin's intention to swallow the world has been revealed. As Kang'er said, all countries will join forces to resist Qin. With the strength of one country, Qin competed with the countries of the Central Plains, and the outcome was unpredictable! ”

Speaking of this, Zou Yan paused, and said slowly to Lu Zhonglian, "Let's talk about Kang'er again!" If Liaodi is concerned, it is indeed as Kang'er said, it is the trend of "locking the dragon", and the geographical advantage is lacking. ”

"As far as Kanyu is concerned, Liaodi is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is difficult to make a difference. However, considering the Yan country, the situation has changed greatly, and it has the advantage of geographical advantages. ”

"Look at Kang'er's ambition, he will take Yan Guo. I think the whole Yan country also understands now that if you choose someone else, the Yan country will be chaotic. At that time, the Yandi under the jurisdiction of Kang'er will be based on the Yandi and look at the world. ”

"In the northern part of its Central Plains, look at its Qin State and the Central Plains countries contending. As the saying goes, "When two tigers fight, one will be injured", after both of them are defeated. Kang'er will lead the army to the south to fight for the Central Plains and the world! ”

Speaking of this, Zou Yan's eyes were a little red again, and he said to Lu Zhonglian, "Brother Zhonglian, after Kang'er came to Liao, he has been taking in displaced people for many years, relocating houses and acres, and the name of benevolence and righteousness has long been crowned in the world. Compared with the Qin State, the people of the world are happy to return to Liao. ”

At that time, Kang'er had the right time, the right place, and the right people. The old man thinks that this world does not belong to Kang'er, and heaven does not tolerate it! ”

"The old man is old, and I don't know if I can see that day. Brother Zhonglian, you are ten years younger than me, and you will definitely be able to see that day coming. ”

"You and I come to Liao, if we can assist a son of heaven to ascend the throne, and the Qi country is also under the jurisdiction of Kang'er, you and I will be famous in history, and we will be famous for eternity, wouldn't it be happy."

Speaking of this, the old man Zou Yan laughed out loud while drinking.

After Lu Zhong even listened to Zou Yan's words, tears flowed out.

After half a ring, he pointed at Zou Yan and said, "Hurry! Hurry! ”

Then, he said loudly to Zou Yan, "Brother Zou Yan, compared to Kang'er, Qi Wangjian has guinea dog ears!" Now the king and queen of Qi are in power, appointing their younger brother Hou Sheng, insatiable, everything is cautious, and the omen of the country is also ruined! ”

"It is reported that Yu Xin, the secretary of Zhao State, has arrived in Qi State and is ready to join forces to fight against Zhao. The old man was sure that the queen would finally adopt the advice of Hou Sheng, and would not send troops. ”

After listening to Lu Zhonglian's words, Zou Yan pondered for a moment and said to Lu Zhonglian, "You and I don't have to take care of Qi Guo anymore, come, drink." ”

picked up the wine glass, found that it was empty, and said angrily, "You old man, you are even reluctant to let the old man drink a glass of wine!" ”

Lu Zhonglian laughed, picked up the wine jug, and filled the wine glasses of the two.

Then he raised his wine glass and said solemnly to Zou Yan, "I know it in my heart, thank you old friend." ”

The expression on Zou Yan's face also became serious, and he said to Lu Zhonglian, "Brother Zhonglian, you have been smart since you were a child, and you are lucky. As long as you abide by your duty as a minister and are not tabooed by the superiors, you will have a bright future! ”

"Your toast, the old man drank it."

After that, he and Lu Zhonglian touched each other's wine glasses, and the two drank it all again.

ps: Thank you book friends for the reward of love for losing everything.
