In 314 BC, Yan was in turmoil, and the Qi army broke through the Yan Kingdom, and the world was shaken.

At that time, the Zhou Dynasty had weakened to an unprecedented extent, and the princes had already claimed the king, but they still ostensibly worshiped the emperor of Zhou as the co-lord of the world, and retained the land of its capital Luoyang and Gyeonggi Baili. In fact, Zhou Tianzi has almost become an ornament, and he has no power to restrain the princes.

In that year, King Zhou Shenliang died of illness, and his son Ji Yan ascended the throne, that is, King Zhou Yan. The State of Qi committed Yan, and the King of Zhou could not interfere.

And Gongzi has been a hostage in South Korea for many years, and he has never had a day of peace of mind, and he has encountered the disasters of his homeland, and experienced the danger of being assassinated by the assassins of Qi State several times.

He also heard that his brother Prince Ping led the Qi army into the country, and the Qi army destroyed the temple of Yan Guozong and plundered and killed the people of Yan State.

He also heard that his father King Yan hanged himself in another palace, and the prince cried profusely, hating his father that he should not listen to the words of the traitorous ministers, and spread the national Zen to his son, so that such a tragic end.

The prince wanted to return to China, so he entered the palace to see the king of Han, and asked the king of Han to send troops to help, the king of Han said: "The army of our country is weak and small, and it is difficult to resist the Qi division. Prince, wait a while, few people know that the princes will not sit idly by. ”

Seeing that this was indeed the case, the prince had no choice but to comply with the order and return to the pavilion. Not long after, suddenly the king of Han asked the prince to enter the palace to meet, the prince was sad and resentful, heard the news, and said with great joy: "This time the king of Han is invited, and I am expected to return to China." ”

So he entered the palace to meet the king of Han, and the king of Han said to the prince: "Today, the king of Zhao sent Le Chijun to come, and he wants to send troops to help the prince restore the country, and the prince can follow it." So he introduced the orchestra pit to the son.

This Lechi Warring States Zhongshan people, once the Zhongshan State minister, general, once defeated the Zhao army in the house, and was worshiped by Zhongshan Huan as the prime minister. Later, Le Chi came to the Qin State and was appointed by King Qin Huiwen as the prime minister of the Qin State. But soon the prime minister was replaced by Zhang Yi. Le Chi ran to Zhao, and King Zhao Wuling used it, and this time he sent Le Chi to lead hundreds of cavalry to South Korea to escort the prince back to China.

After the ceremony was over, Le Chi said: "King Zhao wants to support the prince to return to the country as the king, and he has already sent troops to the border. And there is a letter to deliver to the child. Then he took out the letter of King Zhao Wuling and gave it to Gongzi to read.

After thanking the son, he read the letter of King Zhao Wuling, and saw that he promised to send troops to help him return to China, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately thanked King Zhao Wuling. He said to Le Chi and King Han: "King Meng Zhao values it, dare to disobey his orders?" I have been here for seven or eight years, and I don't want to return to my homeland for a day, and now I can return to the country, all thanks to the king and Zhao Guo, the great kindness and virtue of this help, and I dare not forget it! ”

Gongzi knew that King Zhao Wuling was a heroic army of the world's wise and martial arts, and if he came forward to help, he would definitely be able to rely on it.

King Han said: "The son's words are serious, our country and your country, Zhao have always been good, the son's hometown has changed, and the widow is also deeply strangled, and it is natural to help the son return to China." ”

He also said to Gongzi: "King Zhao has personally led a large army and set up on the border of Yan to wait for Gongzi to arrive." There are few small soldiers in the widowed country, so they have to escort the son back to the country with a hundred military vehicles. Looking forward to the return of the prince to the throne, the investigation of the trouble, and the revitalization of the Yan country, the widow will benefit from the son. ”

The prince was overjoyed, left the table and thanked King Han, and said: "If the job can be restored, I will not forget the king's grace today." ”

King Han has already prepared military chariots, and hundreds of Zhao cavalry led by Le Chi, all elite war horses, are stationed outside Xinzheng City on standby. Gongzi then ordered Baili Bing and others to pack up and prepare, and set off for Yan Country tomorrow.

Zhu Shen came to Xinzheng in South Korea in the late autumn of last year, and he did not leave the son's position, and the son's position wanted to return to the country this time, and he also brought Zhu Shen to his side as a guard, so he said to Zhu Shen: "My brother's family is in Daliang, Wei State, I don't know if I would like to move to Jicheng in Yan State?" ”

Zhu Shen was deeply in awe of the character of the son, and treated himself as a national soldier, and he had already decided to follow the son to the death, and when he saw the prince asking him like this, he replied: "The minister has sworn to follow the son to the death, and now the son has returned to the country, and the future is not yet known, how dare the minister think of his own family?" And follow the son to enter the Yan Kingdom first, and after the son's major events are decided, it is not too late to discuss the minister's private affairs. ”

Gongzi praised Zhu Shen, so he was no longer reluctant, and said to Baili Bing and Zhu Shen: "The younger brother is returning to China today, and I can't help but inform my brother Xiaofeng." And let people go to Hanzhong to convey the news. ”

Baili Bing said: "Xu Haojie is far away in Hanzhong, and the son will leave tomorrow, how can he inform him in time?" And Xu Haojie is righteous, if the son sends someone to inform, he will personally come to see off the son, the people in the rivers and lakes have a friendship with the son, if the princes know about it, the minister feels that it is not appropriate, it is better not to tell it first. ”

Zhu Shen said: "My brother Xiaofeng is a man of faith and righteousness in the world, and now he has the sword of Gongbu, and most of the heroes in the world in the future will be my brother Xiaofeng." Xiaofeng and Gongzi are kind again, Gongzi returns to China to position, and he still needs the help of the world's heroes in the future, although the matter is in a hurry, it is too late to inform, but it is also necessary to send someone to deliver the news, so as not to be rude. If the prince is worried about the friendship with the heroes of the rivers and lakes, he is afraid that the princes will hear about it, so please Xiaofeng not come to see him off at this time. If there is an urgency in the future, please come again, and Xiaofeng will definitely summon him. ”

Gongzi said: "The friendship between the younger brother and Xiaofeng is not known by the princes and princes, and the younger brother is not afraid of his knowledge." Today, the younger brother hurriedly returned to China, and it was already rude to say goodbye in person. How could he still snub Xiao Feng because of this? Now I will send someone to inform my brother Xiaofeng that the younger brother will return to the country, and after settling down the major events, I will ask Xiaofeng to lead Liangzhou Haojie to Yanguo Jicheng as a guest, and the younger brother will pour wine for Liangzhou Haojie. ”

So he sent Baili C to tell Zhang Sheng that Gongzi would return to China tomorrow. He wrote another letter and sent someone to Shangyong in Hanzhong to deliver it to Xiaofeng.

The next day, Han Wangcha General Yufang led the Korean hundred military vehicles to escort the prince back to China, and Le Chi led the Zhao army to ride in front. Gongzi sat in the carriage, and Baili Bing and Zhu Shen were not far away. King Han personally sent out of the north gate of the new city, said goodbye to Gongzizhi, Gongzi boarded the car and left, and King Han saw him off.

King Wuling of Zhao personally commanded 20,000 cavalry of Zhao State, and 30,000 foot soldiers were stationed in Yanjing, waiting for the prince to enter Yan.

When the prince heard that the prince had returned to the country, he also sent Sun Yan, the prince of the country, to greet him. Gongzi asked Gongsun Yan to thank King Wei instead of him. Gongsun Yan was organizing a conspiracy to resist the crusade against the Qin State, and he also wanted the Yan State to help, so he took the opportunity to say to the prince: "The son has perished, and the prince Ji Ping has also been defeated, and the king of the Yan country is none other than the son." In the next dang Ming Wei King, help the son to restore the country as the king! What does Childe think? ”

Gongzi also knew the meaning of Gongsun Yan's words, and it was nothing more than asking Gongzi to promise to help Wei after the prince returned to the country. But it was immediately inconvenient to make a promise, so he replied: "The grace of your country to help me is grateful, but the future of my return is uncertain." The country has suffered great changes and is already scarred. The beauty of the king, the job has been understood. It's just that I don't dare to agree to you at this time, so as not to deceive each other. ”

Gongsun Yan sighed when he heard this: "Gongzi is really a sincere person! Even so, he should also be the king of Wei and help the son. So he played back to the king of Wei, and the king of Wei also sent hundreds of troops and chariots to help Yan Guo.

Gongzi entered the territory of Zhao through Wei, detoured to Zhongshan, and entered the territory of Yan from the eastern boundary of Zhao. Send someone to inform King Zhao Wuling, saying that he has entered Yan.

When the Qi army was entrenched in the Yan State, and when he heard that Zhao Wuling Wang Tun was on the military territory, he knew that the Zhao State came to save the Yan State, Kuang Zhang reported to the King of Qi, and the King of Qi asked Meng Ke again: "The princes came to save the Yan State, how should the widows deal with it?" ”

Meng Ke replied: "Those who have heard that seventy miles are in charge of the world, and they will become soups. I have not heard of those who are afraid of people for thousands of miles. "Shangshu" said: "After me, then Su." Now the swallow abuses its people, the king waves the army and conquers it, the swallow people think that they will save themselves in the fire and water, and eat the pot pulp to welcome the king's teacher. But if the king kills his father and brother, burdens his children, destroys his temple, and removes his heavy weapons, then I am afraid it will not be right! The world is afraid of the strength of Qi, and now it is doubling the land and not practicing benevolent government, which is the army that moves the world. Please ask the king to give an order quickly, counter it, stop its heavy weapons, seek to the Yan people, place and support Yan Jun and recall Kuang Zhang, then it can still make up for the loss of the sheep and stop the disaster. ”

King Qi said: "The former is widowed and takes Yan, and the master also approves of it." With the country of ten thousand times to destroy the country of ten thousand times, fifty times to move, manpower will not be so much. If you don't take it, there will be disaster. Now that the widow has taken it, why does the Master persuade the widow to return to his teacher? Is it tantamount to hard work and no avail? ”

Meng Ke replied: "The former persuaded the king to take it, and it was to take it and Yan Minyue to take it, the ancients had those who did it, and King Wu of Zhou was also; Take it and don't take it if the Yan people are displeased, the ancients have those who do it, and King Wen of Zhou is also. Destroy the country of ten thousand times with ten thousand times, and eat pot pulp to welcome the king, how can he be there? Avoid fire and water. If the water is deeper, if the fire is hot, it will be lucky! Now, if you don't return to the division and apologize to Yan Guo, the world will be the enemy of Qi, and the disaster of Qi will be buried! ”

After all, King Qi did not listen to Meng Ke's words and did not summon Kuang Zhang back to his teacher. If the king of Qi can defeat the king of Zhao Wuling in the Yan country, the prestige of the Qi country will rise and dominate the world, which is just around the corner. Therefore, the king of Qi did not withdraw his troops.

King Wuling of Zhao learned that Gongzi had entered the Yan Realm, so he sent General Zhao to lead more than 10,000 people to help, and wrote a book to Gongzi: "The Qi army is strong, Kuang Zhang is a famous general in the world, and he is good at using soldiers." The elite soldiers and good generals in the outnumbered country are all here, and they are not yet sure to defeat the Qi army. The one who can defeat the Qi army today is the Qin master, and if the prince wants to drive out the Qi army, he needs to ask the king of Qin for help. ”

Gongzi received a letter from King Zhao Wuling, and it was not unreasonable to think about it. And King Zhao Wuling clearly said that he asked Gongzi to ask King Qin for help, which was also the reason for King Zhao Wuling's own inconvenience. Gongzi immediately repaired the book, and with the envoy gifts, he quickly went to Xianyang, Qin State, and asked the King of Qin to send troops to help.
