In all fairness, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao is also a Zhao Chen who is "a general and a minister", even if he is over sixty years old now, he will not be controlled by Meng Zhong so easily, the key is that he is not defenseless at all.

Where did he expect that Meng Zhong, the guard beside Lord Zhao's father, would dare to act so boldly?

No, when he was controlled by Meng Zhong with a sword, he still had a bowl of hot wine in his hand.

But I have to say that Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao is also an old minister who has accompanied Zhao's father through many ups and downs in Zhao State, even if he is put on his neck with a sword by Meng Zhong at this moment, there is no panic on his face, and even his hand holding the wine did not shake, only to see him staring at Meng Zhong for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Boy, you don't dare." ”

"How so?" Meng Zhong asked calmly.

I saw Zhao Bao drink the wine in the bowl, and then raised his hand to wipe the wine stains on his mouth with his sleeve, looked at Meng Zhong and smiled: "The old man is an important minister of Zhao State, if you dare to kill the old man, do you think you can still live?" …… Including those companions outside the house at this moment, they must be buried with the old man. Swap the old man's life for seven or eight of your lives, hehe, this is not a worthwhile thing. ”

Hearing this, Meng Zhong smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "I think Yang Wenjun is not right. …… This time, Meng Mou came on the orders of Lord Zhao's father, but Yang Wenjun was so lazy, and when the matter spread, Lord Zhao's father must be unhappy in his heart. If I have a conflict with Yang Wenjun at this time, resulting in the death of both of us, who do you think Lord Zhao's dissatisfaction with the prince will vent on? Isn't it the son of a prince? …… At that time, the prince and the marquis were deceased, and the father of Zhao wanted to take back the title and fiefdom of the prince and marquis, which was as easy as a finger, and I believe that even if it was Anping Jun and Fengyang Jun, I am afraid that they would not protect the prince and marquis on this matter...... Who made the prince disrespect Lord Zhao first? Therefore, my companions and I can not only exchange for the life of the prince, but also for the title and fiefdom of the prince, so it seems that the prince suffers more? ”

“……”

Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao frowned when they heard this.

Thinking about it carefully, Meng Zhong was right, if this matter reached the ears of Master Zhao today, Master Zhao would definitely think that he was deliberately neglecting - more importantly, if he died, he would naturally not be able to protect his descendants.

But thinking about it, Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao didn't want to give in to the little boy Meng Zhong, so he still shook his head and said, "The old man still thinks you don't dare." ”

Meng Zhong shook his head when he heard this, and said: "Those who hunt eagles all day long will inevitably be pecked blind by eagles one day; People who are good at water tend to drown more in the rivers and lakes. Why? Just because of overconfidence. …… I really don't understand, why does Yang Wenjun want to use his life and net worth to bet on whether he dares to be unfavorable to you? If you win, it's just a victory of spirit; But if you lose, you risk losing your life, losing your title, losing your fiefdom, and leaving your descendants with nothing. …… Do you find this kind of gambling beneficial? It's better to take a step back from each other, I will take back the sword, you let this armor retreat outside the house, and then I will have a good talk with the prince about this matter instructed by Lord Zhao's father, and I will reveal the rights and wrongs of each other before, what do you think? ”

"Are they right or wrong?"

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with the old man? You broke into the old man's mansion with a sword, is it still the old man's fault? ”

However, the cause of this incident was that Yang Wenjun did not respect Lord Zhao's father, and deliberately asked him to wait outside the mansion. Isn't that wrong? In my heart close to Lord Zhao's father's instructions, I didn't dare to delay, so I forcibly broke in, but Yang Wenjun, what about you, pretending to be unwell, but in fact you were drinking in the house, and deliberately neglected the ...... sent by Lord Zhao's father If it is not wrong for the prince to insist on this move, why don't you and I find Lord Zhao and Jun Shang to comment on the reason at this moment to see who is right and who is wrong? ”

"......" Zhao Bao was speechless.

After all, what Meng Zhong said was conclusive, how could he dare to stab this matter to Master Zhao and Zhao Wang He's side?

"You kid...... The old man remembers you. ”

Seeing that Meng Zhong let go of a "ruthless" word, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao waved his hand and said to the guard: "Stand down, without the permission of the old man, no one is allowed to trespass in the future!" ”

“…… Here. ”

The guard glanced at Meng Zhong with some hesitation, but finally followed Zhao Bao's instructions, and after hugging his fists, he bowed and retreated.

Seeing that this person withdrew from the house and closed the door, Meng Zhong put away his sword, hugged his fists and said, "Yang Wenjun, you have only been guilty." ”

"Humph!"

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao snorted and scooped a spoonful of wine into the bowl from the wine jug on the copper stove with a wine spoon.

Immediately, after glancing at Meng Zhong, he also gave him a bowl, and scooped him a spoonful of wine by the way, during which he said lightly: "Taste the wine in my house, don't say that the old man has neglected the master father again." ”

Meng Zhong smiled slightly.

Zhao Bao's move made him feel that this old minister of Zhao Guo had a bad temper and was stubborn, but he was actually quite good.

So he took a sip from his bowl.

There are only two kinds of contemporary liquor, one is fruit wine made from fruits, and the other is wine (rice wine) made from grains - because of the different grains, the rice wine brewed also has differences in color, mostly beige, yellow-brown, reddish-brown and so on.

The liquor on the house of Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao is the wine made from rice, due to the imperfection of the contemporary brewing process, there are still many impurities in the wine that have not been drained clean, so it is also called turbid wine.

As for the reason why it is boiled and then drunk, it is because there are bacteria in this simple fermented liquor, and if you drink raw sake directly, it is easy to make people diarrhea, so it is generally necessary to cook and boil before drinking.

"Very good."

Taking a sip of the warm and slightly hot drink, Meng Zhong praised.

"Hehehehe."

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao stroked his beard with satisfaction and smiled, nodded and said: "For the sake of your compliment, the previous matter, as you said, will not be mentioned." With that, he stroked his beard and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "Why did the master father establish a new army?" Is it because we are suspicious? ”

It's really hard to answer this question.

Meng Zhong thought about it for a while, and simply admitted: "This is natural. ”

Zhao Bao didn't seem to expect Meng Zhong to admit it, and after being slightly stunned, he asked, "What did the master father say to you?" ”

"What does it need to say?"

Meng Zhong chuckled and said: "Master Zhao has reigned for nearly thirty years, leading the Zhao State to such a strong point today, even outsiders from the Song State know that Lord Zhao is the lord of the world, but in the Zhao State, there are still An Pingjun, Fengyang Jun, including Yang Wenjun, who have different opinions with Zhao's father...... For example, Lord Zhao's father advocated "uniting Qin and Song", and several people had to insist on "uniting Qi to resist Qin", could Qi really be a reliable and trustworthy ally? ”

Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao glanced at Meng Zhong and said, "You are from Song, of course you will speak for Song Guo." ”

In the past, Le Shu, the son of Le Yang, killed Zhai Jing, the son of Wei Xiang Zhai Huang, but Wei Xiang Zhai Huang still recommended Le Yang to Wei Wenhou as the coach and attacked Zhongshan Kingdom, just because Le Yang was the most suitable person he thought. …… I advocate the maintenance of the "Zhao-Song Alliance" below, not because I am from the Song Kingdom. To be reasonable, the Zhao-Song alliance has been maintained for nearly thirty years, and the Song State has ever turned its back on the Zhao State? Never! But what about the state of Qi? It is said that the Qi State and the Wei, Han, and Zhao countries jointly crusaded against the Qin State, but he himself did not send troops, and even, when the Zhao State and the Qin State went to war, he took advantage of the fire in the rear to rob and take the opportunity to attack the Zhao State. If you don't unite with the reliable Song State, but you have to unite with the Qi State that once betrayed the Zhao State, I really don't understand your country's thoughts. Meng Zhong said calmly.

"......" Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao stroked their beards and did not speak.

Meng Zhong was right, and he couldn't refute it.

To be honest, even Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao couldn't figure out why An Pingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui and others had to insist on "uniting to fight Qin".

You must know that the current Qin Wang Yingji was supported by his Zhao master's father of Zhao State, which made the relationship between Qin and Zhao reach a very stable level, and there is really no reason to destroy this relationship.

In fact, in the final analysis, it was because the Qin State was too strong some time ago - that is, the period when Zhang Yi served as Qin Minister.

At that time, Zhang Yi, who was like a hanging river and had a good strategy, simply played with the countries on applause, so that the Central Plains countries had great jealousy and vigilance against the Qin State.

Therefore, in the Central Plains countries, the threat of Qin is far higher than that of Qi.

"Okay, the old man has agreed to this."

After half a ring, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao nodded and said in a deep voice: "The old man allows you to go to the army to select soldiers...... Later, the old man will send someone to the army and ask the soldiers to assemble in the camp. You come back tomorrow, and the old man will take you to the army and let you choose your soldiers. ”

"Thank you, Yang Wenjun."

Meng Zhong clenched his fists and thanked him.

After a while, Meng Zhong got up to say goodbye, looking at the back of this son leaving, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao held the wine bowl thoughtfully.

This matter soon reached the ears of Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyangjun Li Dui.

That night, Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyangjun Li Dui came to visit Zhao Bao together, and when the three of them drank and talked together, Zhao Bao told Zhao Cheng and Li Dui the meaning of Zhao's father conveyed by Meng Zhong.

After listening to Zhao Bao's story, Fengyangjun Li Dui frowned and asked Zhao Bao: "Can Yang Wenjun find a way to get a few internal should be mixed in?" so that we may grasp the intentions of the Father. ”

"I'm afraid it's not easy." Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao held the wine bowl and said: "Although Meng Zhong's kid is young, I think he is brave and strategic, I'm afraid it's not easy to fool." ”

"Then find a way to get in the way. This son is close to Gongzi Zhang and Tian Buyu, and staying with him by his master's father is a scourge after all. Squinting his eyes, An Pingjun Zhao Cheng said with a calm face: "Zhao Bao, when you choose a few sharp soldiers, wait for that Meng Zhong to select soldiers, so that these people take the opportunity to make trouble, this son is young, it is difficult to convince the public, and the rest of the soldiers will definitely not obey his orders, when the time comes, see how this son ends." ”

“…… If this does not happen, I believe that the Lord Father will also lose trust in this Son. Fengyangjun Li Dui stroked his beard and said.

Listening to Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyangjun Li Dui talking word by word, Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, but the scene of Meng Zhong holding him hostage with a sword came to his mind.

"If I hadn't reconciled then, what would the boy have done?"

He secretly speculated.

Although he still couldn't guess what Meng Zhong was thinking at that time, he was sure that the kid would never let go of the sword in his hand.

Because the kid's eyes at that time were so firm.

Firm to the point that Zhao Bao finally decided to go downhill and reconcile with him, rather than lose both.

Will such a character be hindered by An Pingjun Zhao Cheng's schemes?

Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao don't think so.
