It turned out that it was when the dragon entered the palace. Zhao Wangdan went to see Chang'anjun. Zhao Wangdan and Chang'anjun said a lot, but Zhao Wangdan said that the country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible, these eight words made Chang'anjun's blood surging.

Today, the Qin State has broken through the three cities of the Zhao State, and everyone in Handan is panicking. As a descendant of the Zhao family, how could Chang Anjun stand by and watch. In fact, if Zhao Wangdan didn't say these words, Chang'an Jun would also come forward. When Chang Anjun said, 'I am fortunate to serve the country and live up to my youth', which also made Zhao Wangdan's expression agitated.

The next day, the first rays of sunlight shone into Handan City, and the bells and drums suddenly rang. The ministers heard the sound of bells and drums, and rushed into the palace. The Empress Dowager Zhao, who avoided the palace for a few days, was in charge of the court.

Empress Dowager Zhao said to the ministers: "The country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible. Although Chang'an Jun is young, he is also a descendant of the Zhao family. Chang Anjun said, 'I am fortunate to serve the country and live up to my youth', this sentence makes me ashamed! I dot on Chang'anjun and don't want him to go to Qi to suffer. My woman's opinion almost pushed the country into danger. For the sake of the country's safety, Chang'anjun took the initiative to go to Qi, what reason do I have to refuse? ”

Pingyuanjun had already learned the news that the Queen Mother was willing to send Chang'anjun to the Qi Kingdom, but he pretended to be confused and asked: "Is the Queen Mother planning to send Chang'anjun to the Qi Kingdom and conclude diplomatic relations between the two countries?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhao nodded and said, "How can I bear the ambition of Chang'anjun, how can I mistake the affairs of the country." I am willing to send Chang'anjun to the State of Qi, conclude diplomatic relations between the two countries, and jointly attack the State of Qin. ”

Pingyuan Jun shouted: "Queen Mother Shengming." ”

The ministers also shouted: "The Queen Mother is Shengming." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao looked at Zhao Wangdan and asked, "Wang'er, how do you plan to arrange for Chang'anjun to go to Qi State." ”

Zhao Wangdan got up, walked to the Queen Mother, and saluted: "Chang'an Jun sent an envoy to Qi for the country, and he is a great hero of Zhao. The child is willing to lead the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, personally send him off, and ride a hundred times. ”

Empress Dowager Zhao didn't expect Zhao Wangdan to take the initiative to speak, and sent her off with such a big pomp, and said with warmth in her heart: "At noon, Wang Er and I will send Chang'an Jun out of Handan." ”

In the blink of an eye, noon arrived. Empress Dowager Zhao, Zhao Wangdan and Zhao State's Minister of Civil and Military Affairs sent Chang'an Jun out of Handan City.

Empress Dowager Zhao took Chang'anjun's hand and admonished: "Child, if you go to the Qi Kingdom, you have to rely on yourself for everything." You should always write back and tell your mother whether you are doing well. ”

"The kid will." Chang Anjun said: "Queen Mother, take care of your body." ”

When Empress Dowager Zhao saw that the child was worried about her body, she had already burst into tears and was choked and speechless. Chang Anjun said to Zhao Wangdan again: "Brother Wang, I'm leaving." The queen mother will ask you. ”

"You can go in peace!" Zhao Wangdan said: "I will take care of the queen mother." ”

"With Brother Wang's words, I am relieved." Chang Anjun said goodbye: "Queen Mother, Brother Wang, I'm leaving." ”

After speaking, Chang Anjun turned around and boarded the carriage.

The Minister of Culture and Military Affairs of Zhao State said in unison: "Congratulations to Chang'anjun." ”

Chang'an Jun and the car Baicheng, embarked on the road to Linzi in the east of Qi State. However, Chang Anjun didn't know that when he left, he would never see his mother again.

Qi Wangtian Fazhang was in Linzi, the capital of Qi, and handled government affairs. Lu Zhonglian ordered someone to send news in advance, saying that Zhao Guo had agreed to send Chang'an Jun to Qi State as a hostage.

King Qi didn't expect that Empress Dowager Zhao would agree to this harsh condition, and he didn't expect that Zhao would send an envoy to Qi with a scale of 100 cars. When this news spread to Linzi, it caused quite a stir.

The king of Qi summoned his ministers and asked, "Zhao sent Chang'an Jun to Qi State, what should we do?" ”

All the ministers objected: "Your Majesty, we have finally revived the Qi country, and the country is peaceful, how can we get involved in the dispute between Qin and Zhao." ”

"Do you want to lose face in Qi Guo?" The King of Qi shouted angrily: "Zhao sent Chang'an Jun to Qi and entered Linzi with a hundred cars. Zhao Guo made such a big move, and the princes of the world already knew about it. If we refuse to send troops, how will the princes of the world view the Qi country. Do you want to be infamous by the outnumbered? ”

The ministers, although they don't want to save Zhao, the words of King Qi are not unreasonable. Today, the news that Zhao sent Chang'an Jun is known to all the princes of the world. What reason does the Qi State have not to send troops? This matter is also related to the prestige of the Qi State and the prestige of the King of Qi.

The ministers of Qi did not expect that the Empress Dowager Zhao would agree to send her youngest son to Linzi, and she would take a hundred cars by the scale. Zhao Guo's hand caught Qi Guo off guard. If Qi betrays the alliance and does not send troops, the reputation of Qi will be ruined.

Seeing that the ministers had nothing to say, King Qi turned to Anpingjun Tiandan and asked, "Anpingjun, the matter has come to this, what should the widow do." ”

Anping Juntian said in a single voice: "The Qin State has no way, and if the Zhao State is attacked, how can the Qi State sit idly by." Chen, in favor of forming an alliance with the Zhao State against the Qin State. ”

"Okay." With An Pingjun's words, the king of Qi suddenly increased his confidence, and he said decisively: "The widow has formed an alliance with the Zhao State to fight against the Qin State." ”

When An Pingjun heard this, he figured out that the King of Qi had long intended to unite with Zhao and fight against Qin. The king of Qi wanted Zhao Guo Chang'an Jun to enter Zhao, but it was just to hide people's eyes and ears, so he made a fool of himself. Now, it is a foregone conclusion that Chang'an Jun will enter Qi, and the King of Qi will ask for his opinion, which is also to deter the ministers and beat him. In this way, the king of Qi is going to do something to him.

King Qi must be thoughtful when he plans things. An Pingjun also didn't know how King Qi would deal with him. Sure enough, the King of Qi was not angry and arrogant, and faced the ministers and asked, "What do you think?" ”

"The ministers agreed." The courtiers saw An Pingjun nodding, and the king of Qi also made a final decision, even if they wanted peace and did not want to get involved in the struggle between Qin and Zhao, it would be useless.

Seeing that no one objected, the King of Qi asked again: "Qi and Zhao have formed an alliance to jointly fight against Qin. Qin is known as the country of tigers and wolves, since Qin Wangji succeeded to the throne, if it were not for the battle of Zhao State's horse service and monarchy, which broke the myth of Qin's invincibility, how could the six countries of Shandong have more than ten years of peace. We united with Zhao to resist Qin, and we can't be careless. If the country of Qi does not come out, it is enough, and if it comes out, it will win. ”

The courtiers said in unison: "What the king said is very true. ”

The King of Qi asked, "Who should our country take as a general to fight against the Qin State?" ”

The most capable and most prestigious person in the Qi country, except for Anping Jun Tiandan, who else. An Pingjun saw that the courtiers were looking at him, and when he saw that the king of Qi was also looking at him, he thought, "Your Majesty, you have put a lot of thought into planning all this!" ”

An Pingjun has long known the meaning of these four words. He also knew that the King of Qi was jealous of his military exploits and was quite dissatisfied with him, and sooner or later he would squeeze out and suppress his forces. However, it has been more than ten years since the restoration of the state of Qi, and the king of Qi has secured the throne and stabilized the situation. But he didn't see the king of Qi doing anything to him. An Pingjun always felt that he knew King Qi, but he never understood King Qi's mind. Today, what King Qi said, he pondered the extraneous sound.

Seeing that he couldn't hide, An Pingjun stepped forward and took the initiative to ask: "Minister, I am willing to lead the troops and join Zhao to fight against Qin." ”

"An Pingjun deserves to be a widow's lucky general and a wise man." King Qi didn't expect An Pingjun to take the initiative to ask for help, saving him a lot of trouble, and said loudly: "An Pingjun has made great contributions to the revival of Qi State." If you talk about military exploits, who can do it. An Pingjun led the troops, united Zhao to resist Qin, and he will definitely be able to fight a battle and raise the prestige of our Qi country. ”

When the ministers heard this, they exclaimed: "Long live the king, long live the Qi country." ”

King Qi asked again: "This time, to aid Zhao, how many people does An Pingjun want." ”

An Pingjun said: "Thirty thousand is enough." ”

"Okay." King Qi said sharply: "The widow will give you 30,000 horses, and An Pingjun will play the prestige of the Qi country." ”

An Pingjun bowed down and said: "Minister, you will not disgrace your mission." ”

King Qi nodded with satisfaction, and asked again: "An Pingjun, how long will this battle last?" Will there be an escalation of the war between Qin and Zhao? ”

An Pingjun thought for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister estimates that between Qin and Zhao, there is only a small fight, and the war will not escalate. ”

When King Qi saw that he was right, he hurriedly said, "Why." ”

Although An Pingjun was in the Qi State, he also paid attention to the war in the Central Plains, and said in a low tone: "In this battle, both Qin and Zhao are not prepared. Qin took advantage of the loss of the Zhao State, the young king, and the queen mother, to fish in troubled waters and seek benefits. However, the Qin State was defeated by the Zhao State ten years ago, and he was not confident of winning in one battle. Zhao Guo also did not want to compete with Qin State, otherwise, Zhao State would not have asked our country for help. The minister speculated that this battle would not escalate. ”

"You're right." King Qi also felt that his analysis was very correct, and said: "How long will this battle last?" ”

An Pingjun said: "It's okay for Qin to bully Han and Wei, but it's not so easy to bully Zhao. Today, our country is aiding Zhao State, and Qin State is even less confident when it sees it. When the Qin State learns that we will send troops to aid the Zhao State, they will consider withdrawing the army. ”

King Qi nodded and said, "You are right. The Zhao State is strong, not the Qin State. Today, Zhao Wen has Lin Xiangru, Pingyuan Jun and others, and Wu has Ma Fujun, Lian Po, Wang Zhujun and others. On the other hand, in the Qin state, the king of Qin expelled the marquis, Huayangjun and others, which led to the instability of Qin's internal politics. The success of Qin's attack on Zhao was all because the new monarch of Zhao was young and the empress dowager was in charge. ”

An Pingjun replied: "What the king said is good, and the minister thinks the same way. ”

The king of Qi asked: "The king of Qin expelled the marquis, who is the prime minister?" ”

One person said: "Your Majesty, the prime minister of Qin is Fan Ju. ”

"Fan Ju?" King Qi thought for a while, had no impression, and asked, "Who is this, how can he replace the position of the marquis." ”

An Pingjun reminded: "The king must have forgotten. More than ten years ago, Wei sent an envoy to China and made friends with China. This person is a disciple of Su Jia, the doctor of Wei Guozhong, and he also came to our country. And the king reasoned with him, and gave him ten pieces of gold. ”

"You're talking about him!" King Qi sighed: "He is from Wei, how did he become the prime minister of Qin." ”

An Pingjun saw that the king paid little attention to the political situation in the Central Plains, and hurriedly said: "The king rewarded him with ten gold, but after returning to China, he was suppressed by Wei Xiang and almost died. ”

King Qi exclaimed, "What the hell is going on. ”

An Pingjun said: "The king rewarded him with ten gold, but he was falsely accused, saying that he sold Wei and handed over Qi. Wei Qi's personality, wouldn't the king understand. Treat those who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, how will they let him live? ”

"Wei Qi's character, how can a widow not know. The widow thanked him for his talent and rewarded him with ten gold, but he did not expect to bring him great disaster. King Qi stopped and asked again: "How did this person escape from death, and how did he get to Qin and become the Qin Minister." ”

"The specific reason, the minister is not clear." An Pingjun said: "This person can escape death and become Qin Xiang, which is enough to see that he is not an ordinary person." King Qin abolished the queen mother and chased the four nobles, all of whom had a part of this person. Otherwise, how could he become Qin Xiang. ”

"Wei is really unlucky! There are some people who harm the mother country. There was Zhang Yi in front of him, which made Wei unspeakably miserable. Now, there is another Fan Ju. The hard days of Wei have come. King Qi thought about it, felt that it was wrong, and said: "This person was humiliated, why didn't he send troops to attack Wei to take revenge, how could he send troops to attack Zhao." ”

An Pingjun said: "The State of Qin forced the King of Wei to hand over Wei Qi in a domineering tone. The king of Wei was afraid of the might of Qin, but he also remembered Wei Qi's merits. The king of Wei handed over Wei Qi, which would not only chill the hearts of the soldiers of the three armies of Wei, but also make Wei lose face. Wei Qi didn't want King Wei to be in a dilemma, and he didn't want to bring trouble to his mother country, so he escaped from Daliang. ”

"I escaped." King Qi exclaimed, "Where did Wei Qi flee?" ”

"I went to Handan, Zhao State, and defected to Pingyuanjun."

"The widow understands." King Qi figured everything out and said with a smile: "That kid from Pingyuan Jun, Aixian, took in Wei Qi. The Qin State used this as an excuse to attack the Zhao State. ”

An Pingjun said: "Exactly." The Wei State was afraid of the Qin State and could not tolerate Wei Qi. Zhao has the strength and confidence, so he is naturally not afraid of Qin. Pingyuan Jun is the son of King Wuling of Zhao, the younger brother of King Huiwen of Zhao, and the uncle of Wang Dan of Zhao. Pingyuan Jun didn't take Qin Guo in his eyes either. ”

"King Wei didn't want to arrest Wei Qi and hand him over to the Qin State, which is enough to show that the King of Wei is not a person who was frightened by the Qin State." King Qi smiled and said, "Pingyuan Jun, the widow has also heard of his deeds. Pingyuan Jun dared to contain Wei Qi, obviously not taking the Qin State seriously. It seems that Sanjin has a real man who is proud of the world. ”

An Pingjun said: "Sanjin boy, how could he ever be afraid of the Qin State. ”

"The Qin State used Wei Qi as an excuse to crusade against the Zhao State, this reason is too far-fetched. Look, widow! The Qin State wanted to take advantage of the loss of the Zhao State, fish in troubled waters, and find the shame of the defeat of the battle of Yan and the fiasco. The Three Jin Dynasty is a buffer between China and the Qin State. If the Three Jin Dynasty are there, they will definitely block the Qin State from going east and infiltrating the Central Plains. King Qi breathed a sigh of relief and advised: "An Pingjun, you have to help Zhao Guo beat Qin Guo hard." The Qin State was frightened, and did not dare to go east to the Han Valley for decades. We help Zhao Guo, that is, we help Qi Guo. ”

"Whoa." An Pingjun said: "The ministers will definitely help the Zhao State, attack the Qin State, and raise the prestige of our Qi State." ”

"Good, good." King Qi was very satisfied, "With An Pingjun's words, the widow will be relieved." ”

The next day, just after noon. An Pingjun was in the square of Nuoda in the palace, lined up his troops, waiting for the king of Qi to give the order to go out. The king of Qi took the stage to review and encourage the soldiers who went on the expedition.

The King of Qi stood on the high platform, pulled out his long sword and said: "The soldiers of the three armies listen to the order, raise the prestige of our country, and attack the Qin State." God bless the widow, God bless the country. ”

"Drink, drink, drink." The 30,000 soldiers of the Qi country shouted in unison.

King Qi shouted: "Go on the expedition." ”
