Chapter 35: King Qi Wei

"Zhao Chenghou is rough and bold by nature, and he is indeed much easier to get along with than the extremely pedantic Yan Gong, and it is no wonder that Pang Juan has a much stronger impression of Zhao Chenghou than Yan Wengong." Seeing Zhao Chenghou so rough and bold and eclectic, Qin Feng also had a good impression of Zhao Chenghou in his heart, which was much better than Yan Wengong.

"No matter how big the sleeve is, it can't hold the 200,000 ironclad knights of Zhao State." Pang Juan smiled slightly.

"Well said! Zhao Chong believes in strength and has never been afraid of other sets. Those who know Zhao Zhong, the general also! Zhao Chenghou laughed roughly, Zhao Chenghou is still quite confident in the strength of Zhao State, even if Zhao State is not the first power in the world, but that kind of strength is still extremely strong.

When Pang Juan heard this, a trace of gratitude rose in his heart, and he quickly covered it up. In terms of the true feelings in his heart, Pang Juan admires and appreciates Zhao Chenghou. It's just that this is the world of the Warring States War, and as a general of Wei, his personal feelings must be put aside, and everything is important to state affairs. "But I want to say, those who know Pang Juan, Zhao Hou also." But even so, Pang Juan still said.

"Aha, how can you not be an orangutan and cherish an orangutan?" When Zhao Chenghou heard Pang Juan's words, he laughed again.

Pang Juan also laughed for a while, and jumped into the car, "Zhao Hou will go first, and Pang Juan will accompany him to see him off." ”

Zhao Chenghou stroked his sideburns and beard, turned his head and smiled backwards: "There is anyone more powerful than Zhao Chong, the general is waiting to greet people, you and I will be exempted, I will go by myself." ”

"Indeed, such a monarch should do great things." Qin Feng watched from afar among the guards, with appreciation in his heart.

Pang Juan gave up his hand, "If Zhao Hou does not give up, Pang Juan will be the general of Zhao in the next life." ”

Zhao Chong smiled mysteriously, "Afterlife? Zhao only lacks cultivators, no generals. Walk! "With a stomp, the chariot and horse brigade rumbled forward.

Suddenly, Pang Juan clearly smelled the lofty goal hidden in Zhao Chong's heart - to unify the world and release Manan Mountain! In an instant, Pang Juan had an impulse, and he actually felt that he had mistakenly voted for Wei.

After thinking about it for a long time, he laughed again, Zhao Guo couldn't even take a small Zhongshan country beside him, wouldn't it be a fool's dream to unify the world? It's one thing to be arrogant, it's another thing to be strong, how could your consistent spirit be swept away by Zhao Chong's arrogance?

Qin Feng in the distance was also shocked by Zhao Chenghou's domineering, just Zhao Guo, just Zhao Hou, just Zhao Hou, has the ambition to swallow the world, since this is the case, Qin Guo should also have this ambition.

"Yingqu Liang will definitely not lose to Zhao Chenghou." Qin Feng thought in his heart.

"Report to the envoy, King Qi's chariot has entered the land of three arrows." The Lord's book is loudly reported.

"King Qi!" When Qin Feng heard this, his heart suddenly shook. Qi was one of the great powers alongside Wei, and King Qi Wei was also an extremely powerful and iron-fisted king of Qi.

Pang Juan's spirits perked up, he had already seen the word "Qi" on the oncoming purple flag, and immediately ordered in a loud voice, "One stone's throw away, welcome the King of Qi." At the end of the sentence, the well-trained rider shook the reins, and the three fiery red horses had galloped out briskly.

The fourth to arrive was King Qi Wei, named Tian Yinqi, who was the sixth monarch of the Tian clan's Qi Kingdom.

He is less than thirty years old, and he has only been on the throne for two years, but he is already a British lord who has impressed the world. In two years, Tian Yinqi rectified the rule of officials, reduced taxes, recruited talents and used energy, and built a school palace, and the country of Qi was full of vitality; The south was strong and Chu, and the west retreated to Yan Zhao and announced that he was king, which suddenly made the Qi State suddenly prestige.

Pang Juan was very concerned about the situation in Qi Guo and knew very well, he admired the thunderbolt methods of this young monarch very much, and marveled at the talent of the genius.

Among the seven warring states, Chu was already king in the early Spring and Autumn Period, Wei was crowned king eight years ago, and Qi was proclaimed king by the young monarch who ascended the throne for a year.

In this way, there are four kingdoms in the world: the central kingdom that exists in name only, Zhou, and the kingdom of the three princes, Chu Weiqi. King Qi Wei dared to boldly claim the throne, which undoubtedly declared to the world the confidence and determination of the Qi State to dare to resist the world.

Pang Juan, as the general of the Wei State who is about to unify the world, is actually the most bottomless in his heart is this Qi State.

Qi country is far away on the coast of the sea, the land is fertile, the people are strong, not only the emergence of Sun Wu such a military family, and in recent years, and the literary style is prosperous, industry and commerce are prosperous, Linzi has become a commercial metropolis second only to the Liang, known as "Qi City".

Right now, there is such a king who has made great achievements, and he really has no bottom in his heart to destroy the Qi country.

But in the final analysis, Pang Juan is not optimistic about Qi State. The foundation of the Qi Guotian clan was far less solid than that of the Wei state.

After more than 100 years of bloody struggle, the Wei clan and the Han and Zhao clans jointly carved up the Jin State, and then changed the law and reformed the system, and the military and the people were unified.

Qi is different, the Tian family mainly relied on the upper echelons to usurp and kill the way to seize the Jiang Qi power, the old aristocracy is intertwined and powerful, the Tian family has not completely changed the law and reform after the Qi State is in power, the power of the family fief is still very large, and the foundation is naturally not solid and reliable.

For such a big country, Pang Juan's strategy is to "focus on peace and light war, wait and see for changes", and look forward to the ups and downs of "its rise and fall" that are common in Qi and the Warring States.

King Qi Wei, who came from afar, did not have such complicated thoughts as Pang Juan, he looked at the momentum pattern of Xingyuan, but he was just thinking, how could Qi Guo find a talent like Pang Juan? There is no shortage of famous generals in the Qi country, but there is really no such thing as Pang Juan who coordinates the overall situation and enters the prime minister. The outstanding thing about this young king is that he does not have the shallowness and narrow-mindedness that ordinary young Zhuang people often have, but he is very fond of talents and has a great tolerance for people. At this moment, he looked at the luxurious and mighty General Wei on the carriage, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "The state-owned good generals are like Pang Juan, are they safe?" ”

Qin Feng looked at King Qi Wei from afar. This King Qi Wei's momentum is not as heroic as Zhao Chenghou before, but more restrained. It gives people a kind of gentle jade, and at the same time secretly contains the pride of the sky. Such a monarch is also rare for the Qi country to be in full swing all these years.

Pang Juan had already surrendered his hand to report the number, and got out of the car neatly, stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "King Qi has arrived, Pang Juan has missed the distance, please forgive me." ”

King Qi Wei also jumped out of the king's car almost at the same time, laughing heartily, "The general is a hero in the world, why is he so polite and polite, and treat me Tian Yinqi as a layman?" ”

"Pang Juan respects King Qi for his hard work, how dare he make a mistake?" Pang Juan replied with a humble smile.

"General," King Qi Wei said with a smile as he held Pang Juan's hand, "Tian Yinqi invited you to visit the Qi Kingdom and teach the generals of the Qi Kingdom, how about it?" ”

"King Qi's words are serious." Pang Juan smiled, "Pang Juan dares to be a teacher? If you are fortunate enough to go to the country of Qi, you must listen to the king of Qi's high arguments on governing the country. ”

"General, don't say who listens to whom, if you go to Qi State, you will be the prime minister of my Qi State for three months, Tian Yin Qi will seal you Tianke Hou, and the three counties will be fiefdoms, how about it?" King Qi Wei smiled with sincerity on his face.

"Heavenly Kehou? King Qi is a good talent! Maybe the King of Wei will one day send Pang Juan as an envoy to Qi, and Pang Juan will definitely be the master of the Heavenly Guest Marquis. Pang Juan smiled.

"Good! A word is a certainty, and the general waits for good news. King Qi Wei shook Pang Juan's hand vigorously.

"King Qi, please board the car, and Pang Juan will accompany him to see him off." Pang Juan didn't want to continue the topic.

King Qi Wei turned around and got into the car, and smiled at Pang Juan: "Don't work for the general, Tian Yinqi still wants to take this opportunity to visit Fengze." Usher, let's go. ”

Pang Juan can only give it away, for this kind of imaginative and extraordinary monarch, being too rigid will only be boring, if you let it come safely.

Then, only the king of Chu did not arrive. Pang Juan looked at the sky, it was already noon, and it was not half a time, according to the itinerary reported by the various horses, the monarchs of the five countries could reach Fengze before noon, why was the king of Chu so slow to drive?

Pang Juan is a talented general, and the scheduling of this alliance is all planned in the art of war, and everything is arranged in a compact and orderly manner, and there will never be a miscalculation or omission of any monarch's itinerary.

Pang Juan looked at Fengze Avenue, where there was no movement, thought about it for a while, and had already expected the reason for the accident, secretly laughed, and ordered loudly: "The honor guard drum music is withdrawn, the whole army has a meal, and the camp is lined up!" ”

"This King of Chu, how ridiculous!" Qin Feng looked at the Fengze pipeline, which was silent, and also guessed the reason why the King of Chu was late. At that moment, Qin Feng seemed to have somewhat understood Pang Juan's layout for the entire Six Nations Alliance, and he also had a book of the art of war in his heart.

The main book said softly: "General, what should I do if the king of Chu comes in front of you?" ”

Pang Juan smiled coldly, "I don't know the Chu people, so I don't need to say much." ”

Back in Xingyuan, Pang Juan is still a piece of yellow mutton, no soup cakes, no other dishes, and no wine.

Having studied in the mountains for more than ten years, often sleeping with his teacher, Pang Juan has formed a habit of simple and rough life.

He was very unimpressed with spending a long time on tedious drinks and dishes, and felt that it was a waste of time. For Pang Juan, as long as there is a piece of meat or a pot of soup cakes at every meal, he is very satisfied.

When marching and fighting, as long as there are three kinds of dried meat, jerky, cakes and water bags, they never open a small stove in the big tent of the Chinese army. Since going out of the mountains to become an official in the Wei State, Pang Juan's biggest headache is frequent official banquets and extravagant entertainment.

For all the big and small banquets, Pang Juan is simply full, and then quietly watches the drunkenness of all kinds of people. Over time, his habit was also familiar to the upper echelons of the Wei State and the generals and soldiers in the army.

The upper echelons seemed to have some subtle snubbing for him, but the officers and men in the army sincerely admired him in every way, and they were naturally willing to obey his strict military orders and harsh training methods.

Pang Juan didn't care how those squirrels despised him, nor did he care about the praise of the soldiers for his simple life, he deeply understood that in the Warring States Period, when the continuous swords and soldiers lived and died, the fundamental point of foothold was merit and victory.

As the commander of the three armies, if the general loses his division and loses ground, the praise of the soldiers will turn into a curse or rebellion overnight. If he can break the country and uproot the city, those squires will also bow down at his feet overnight. The success, the prince, the loser, the thief, in the years of iron and blood, this is an eternal iron rule.
