The Tang Dynasty began to make intense preparations for launching the invasion of Qin, and was about to report to Zhou Tianzi and use him as a tiger skin, but before Zhao Xing sent an envoy to Zhou Yuan to see Zhou Tianzi, Zhou Tianzi's envoy made a detour to enter Zhao State, and came.

Zhao Xing, the envoy of Zhou Tianzi, was familiar with the old man Zhou Gong, which was the highest treatment of the Tang State at that time.

Zhao Xing received Zhou Gong with the highest courtesy, and at the banquet, he asked Zhou Gong about the purpose of his visit.

In front of Zhao Xing, who was respectful to himself and Zhou Tianzi, Zhou Gong said the purpose of his visit: "First, Zhou Tianzi called on the princes of the world to crusade against Qin's subordinates. Second, borrow money and rectify the army of the Son of Heaven. ”

In the face of these two requirements, Zhao Xing, of course, expressed his loyal obedience without saying a word.

"However, I will not join forces with the three armies of the Son of Heaven, and my Tang State will launch an attack to the north of Qin, so that it will be exposed to the enemy."

When Zhou Gong heard this, he frowned quietly, he was originally full of enthusiasm, but he was somewhat cold, and he couldn't help but be angry in his heart.

This time, on the orders of Zhou Tianzi, the Duke of Zhou came to call on the Tang State to participate in this war against the Qin State, with great confidence.

Because in the second half of the Zhou Dynasty, the only one who was respectful to Zhou Tianzi was this Tang Hou Zhao Xing, who was originally in vain, but now he is thriving and strong.

In these years, the other princes have long stopped taking Zhou Tianzi in their eyes, but only this Tang Marquis Zhao Xing has been worshiped continuously every year, which not only makes Zhou Tianzi's days not go up and down, but most importantly, he feels the presence of the Son of Heaven.

And it was Zhao Xing's respect that gave Zhou Tianzi the confidence to crusade against Qin now.

In his opinion, as long as he greets him, Zhao Xing should run in front of him with 200,000 iron horsemen and let him command at will.

As a result, Zhou Gong actually ate this disguised closed door, although he was angry in his heart, he couldn't do anything.

Of course, Zhao Xing saw Duke Zhou's displeasure and anger, and Xu Jie immediately took over the topic: "Duke Zhou, please reply to the Son of Heaven, in fact, it is more advantageous for my Tang Kingdom to send troops in the north than to join forces with the Son of Heaven." ”

Zhou Gong asked with a dark face: "Why do you say this?" ”

Xu Jie replied: "The Son of Heaven is in the south, we are in the north, and we are attacking from both sides, so that the north and south of the Qin State cannot take care of both, and taking care of one and losing the other, it can play a more important role in crusade." ”

Zhou Gong pondered for a while, and finally stroked his beard and nodded: "What Xiang Gang said is very in line with the main points of the soldiers." But I won't hide it from you, it's just that the three armies of the Son of Heaven have long lost their former glory, and they have few soldiers, how can they be the opponents of Qiang Qin? ”

Xu Jie: "As far as I know, it was the Chu State that asked the Son of Heaven to send troops this time, and his purpose was to curb the expansion of the Qin State, isn't that so?" ”

Zhou Gong nodded.

"Qin wants to occupy Yiyang, South Korea, right?"

"South Korea is already trembling." Zhou Gong did not shy away from admitting it.

Mastering the intelligence hub of the world through the four clearances, Zhao Xing's intelligence is fast and accurate, and Xu Jie is Zhao Xing's spy leader.

If you want to say who attaches the most importance to intelligence in this world, it must be Zhao Xing. These so-called world events have long been in Zhao Xing's hands.

"In that case, why didn't the Son of Heaven recruit the Chu State and the Korean and the princes of the world to jointly crusade against the Qin State? In this way, the Son of Heaven controls the army of the world, and I resolutely attack the Qin State in the north, and attack from both sides, wouldn't it be a great thing? Xu Jie continued to ask.

Duke Zhou only smiled bitterly in the face of this excellent suggestion, and complained in the face of Zhao Xing, who had been listening: "Tang Hou doesn't know, when I came to you, the Son of Heaven had already sent envoys to leave the countries, but the other princes were not interested in it, plus the Son of Heaven was embarrassed, so that, this-"

The debt is coming, of course Zhao Xing knows it. As a result, before Zhao Xing could express his position, Xu Jie immediately said generously: "In order to crusade against the tyrannical Qin Buchen, my Tang State is willing to lend the Son of Heaven 50 million money as military funds to supply the princes who jointly invaded Qin for military expenses." ”

Zhao Xing reminded in a whisper and added: "It's borrowing, don't overunderstand." ”

Where did Duke Zhou still care about that, and his anger dissipated in a blink of an eye: "There is a military loan of 50 million yuan from Tang Hou, and I think other princes will definitely respond, and then there will be an army of Tang Hou in the north to respond, and it will be a big deal." ”

So, after the two sides scolded the Qin State for its rudeness and the short-sightedness of the princes, the Duke of Zhou thought that he had achieved his goal and returned with a full load.

On the side of the Yellow River, he sent Zhou Gong away diligently, and Zhao Xing's face turned cold before Zhou Gong's figure disappeared. Xu Jie, who had been smiling all the time, said to Xu Jie, whose cheeks were stiff: "Fifty million dollars, how long does it take for my mint to be minted." My Lord Zuo, thirty percent of your fiefdom is not a tax reward. ”

Xu Jie grinned; "Not only should the king not deduct the tax of my nine original fiefdoms, but he should also give me some more, so that he can reward me for my work."

Zhao Xing pouted: "You have to inch in." ”

Xu Jie smiled unscrupulously: "Could it be that the king only sees the money, but not our interests?" Then with a wave of his sleeves, the ministers envied this gentleman and minister, and even more friends, and went away triumphantly.

Zhao Xing looked at his back and had an urge to find a knife to cut him.

Zhou Tianzi, who borrowed money from the co-owner of the world, and the person he wants to destroy in the future, that is, he will use money to make a splash, and there will not even be a ripple.

Yin Qi leaned out in the soft sedan chair: "Monarch, what Zuo Xiang said is right, we can spend 50 million yuan to buy the Son of Heaven to call on the princes to help us contain Qiang Qin in the south, it's worth it." ”

Zhao Xing muttered angrily: "If I can call on the princes of the world without spending a penny, help me contain Qiang Qin, and let me easily obtain Hetao and Shangjun, then it is really worth it." ”

Yin Qi smiled: "This lord of his own, is too greedy." ”

But Zhao Xing knows history, the co-owner of the world, and the appeal of the last Zhou Tianzi has long been gone. The conscription order he issued did not respond even to the state of Chu, which encouraged him, and even Korea, which had already understood that the state of Qin occupied its own enclave of Yiyang, the only passage connecting the party, did not take the opportunity to respond. Not to mention the other princes.

In the face of Qiang Qin's ambition, everyone chose to be an ostrich and honestly stuck their heads in the sand, and was finally broken by Qiang Qin.

And during this period, there was also the first to advocate the unity of the gang Gongsun extravagant died, and the entire national policy of Wei was completely reversed, and he actually wanted to seek skin with the tiger, not to take the opportunity to respond to the invasion of Qin, but to directly form an alliance with Qin and dig a pit for himself.

In the end, Zhou Tianzi ordered this Zhou Gong to take the money lent to Zhou Tianzi by the merchants in the past, and now it is lent by himself, to form an army of 5,000 people, including strong women, in the face of 100,000 strong Qin tigers and wolves, to do the last tragic egg to hit the stone, and the result can be imagined.

However, since he had lent out his own money, he could only find a way to drum up the alliances that had not been formed in history, not so that they could unite to destroy Qiang Qin, but as long as he blocked Qiang Qin, Zhao Xing would be satisfied.
