"Wow."

I don't know how long later, two soldiers hurriedly ran up the city wall, and after exchanging a few words with the guards on duty there, they went straight to the place where Niu Jian was standing at the moment.

"Sima."

I saw one of the soldiers clasping his fists and reporting: "Someone in the city has begged to see Sima, and he is now waiting at the foot of the wall." ”

“……”

Niu Jian heard this, and a few different colors flashed in his eyes.

From within the city?

Or do you come to see you at this time?

This is clearly the king's envoy from the inner city.

"How many people are there? Bring them all up. ”

After a moment of thought, Niu Jian nodded and agreed.

After a while, an old man in Chinese costumes, who was nearly sixty years old, led two guards dressed as entourage to the city wall, and when he saw Niu Qian, the old man in Chinese clothes bowed his hand and said, "Niu Sima, don't come unharmed." ”

Seeing this old man, a few hints of discoloration flashed in Niu Qian's eyes, because the person who came to ask for a meeting this time was shocked by Fengyangjun Li Dui himself.

After snorting lightly, Niu Jian smiled with a bit of mockery: "Counting the time, I think you should also send someone here again, I thought it was still Lord Zhao Gu, but I didn't expect it to be you...... Aren't you afraid that I will order you to tie you up and dedicate you to Gongzi Zhang? ”

Hearing this, Fengyangjun Li Dui shook his head slightly and smiled.

Of course, he understood the deep meaning of Niu Qian's words, that is, there was not much time left for Wang Shi, and in a day or two, Gongzi Zhang would order all the rebels to attack the inner city.

With a little smile, Fengyang Jun Li Dui Zhengse said: "If you can't do anything, you will die a few days earlier, and you will die if you live for a few days, so what's the difference?" ”

"Humph!" Hearing this, Niu Jian mocked: "Since you have already had such an awareness, why did Lord Zhao Gu come a few days ago, instead of you in person?" ”

Li Dui didn't care about Niu Qian's ridicule, and said with a straight face: "I can only come on my behalf by Lord Zhao Gu that day, only Lord Zhao Gu, Niu Sima will show mercy." If it was Li who came at that time, I am afraid that Li's head would have been cut off to show the public. …… As for why Li came today, there are two reasons: first, Lord Zhao Gu has been away from state affairs for many years, and he is not clear about the stakes of some things; Second, Li secretly thinks that today's Niu Sima should have the patience to listen to the interests and disadvantages. ”

"Are you so sure?" Niu Jian frowned and asked coldly, faintly with a bit of deterrence.

However, Fengyangjun Li Dui had no fear on his face, spread his hands and chuckled and said: "Otherwise, Li is in front of Sima at this moment, why didn't Sima send someone to tie Li to Gongzizhang?" ”

“……”

Hearing this, Niu Jian opened his mouth and was speechless.

Seeing this, Li Dui didn't dare to embarrass Niu Jian too much, and immediately straightened his expression and said: "Niu Sima, this is to tell Sima Sima in the next time, and I implore Sima to give him the opportunity to state his interests in the future." …… If you are indifferent after listening to these Simas, you can tie them to Gongzi Zhang. ”

“……”

Niu Jian took a deep look at Li Dui, and then took the latter to the city gate tower.

Coming to the side hall in the city gate tower, Niu Jian ordered the soldiers to bring wine, and after the wine came up, he retreated left and right, so that only he and Li Dui were left in the side hall.

"Sit down."

While gently stirring the hot wine with a wine spoon, Niu Jian said lightly to Li Dui: "You can try a word or two." ”

"Thank you." Fengyang Jun Li Dui arched his hand, and then Shi Shiran sat opposite Niu Qian, sitting upright, while pretending to ask casually: "Niu Sima doesn't seem to be in a good mood today?" Oh, the rebels have forcibly captured the city today, but why don't you seem to be happy, Niu Sima? ”

"......" Niu Jian was gently stirring the wine with a spoon and glanced at Li Dui with an unkind expression.

But Li Dui seemed to have not seen it, and praised it: "Today's rebel attack on the city is really amazing, especially Na Mengzhong, although this son is young, he can accurately grasp our movements...... He guessed that our soldiers would send soldiers to cut down trees from the western suburbs to replenish firewood, so he called hundreds of Xinwei soldiers to lie in ambush in that forest in advance, and when our soldiers and rebels confronted each other in the western suburbs, the hundreds of Xinwei soldiers carried logs and firewood on their backs, and under the noses of tens of thousands of people, pretended to be the king's soldiers who carried firewood and entered the city from the west gate, what a bold and ingenious strategy......

"Smack!"

Niu Jian threw the wine spoon into the wine basin with a somewhat ugly face, and splashed a few drinks due to his strength, only to see him look at Fengyangjun Li Dui with an unhappy face, and said lightly: "Li Dui, it seems that this kind of inconsequential discord, you don't have to show off in front of Niu." What you said, Lord Zhao Gu already said a few days ago......"

"I know."

Li Dui nodded, and said, "Actually, what Lord Zhao Gu said at that time was exactly what Li asked him to convey. Maybe Niu Sima still didn't think so at that time, but today, after seeing that Meng Zhong's strategy, Niu Sima should have believed those words, right? Meng Zhong, and Pang Xuan, who is also both civil and military, and whose talent is not inferior to the former, although these two are the guards of Lord Zhao's father, it cannot be denied that they are also the courtiers selected by Lord Zhao's father for Gongzi Zhang, including Le Yi, Ju Xin and others. …… I once heard rumors that within ten years, Lord Zhao's father intended to order Meng Zhong to garrison Jinyang to guard against Qin; ordered Pang Xuan to garrison Zhongmu to deter Wei; Ordered Le Yi to garrison Gaotang and the plains to deter the Qi State...... Many people disagree with this rumor, but I am convinced, because I know that Meng Zhong, Pang Xuan, and Le Yi are all rare talents, as long as they are given the opportunity to show their skills, these young children have an unlimited future...... Therefore, when I invited Lord Zhao Gu to come and persuade Niu Sima, I asked him to tell him how to deal with himself in front of Meng Zhong, Le Yi, Pang Xuan, and Ju Xin, who were young and trusted by Gongzi Zhang. What do you have today? ”

Speaking of this, Li Dui suddenly smiled slyly, lowered his voice and said: "Unless Niu Sima makes a feat that makes Gongzi Zhang stunned, let him see Niu Sima's skills with his own eyes, such as today's rebel army breaking through the city, if it is out of Niu Sima's scheming, I think Niu Sima will never have such troubles in his heart at this moment, and he will not even meet him at all, right?" But unfortunately, today's rebels seized the city, thanks to Meng Zhong's ingenious strategy, Niu Sima, although you have been in charge of 10,000 cavalry, but against the rebels, you have not contributed much, heh, to put it disrespectfully, if Meng Zhong is in charge of the cavalry under your command, I am afraid it will be ...... than you Niu Qian."

"Enough!" Niu Jian angrily interrupted Li Dui's words, stared at Li Dui with a pair of tiger eyes and said coldly: "Li Dui, you really dare not kill you?!" Hum! Don't forget, if I tie you up in front of Gongzi Zhang, it will be a great achievement! ”

"And that Meng Zhong used a trick to break the city?" Li Dui shook his head with a smile, and then said with a straight face: "Niu Sima, Li didn't mean to provoke you, Li was just stating the benefits. By Gongzizhang's side, Meng Zhong, Le Yi, Pang Xuan, Ju Xin and other young generals are very unsuccessful, among them, you may not be able to show your talents, at least not more dazzling than those people, like this, Gongzi Zhang will not pay attention to you, after a long time, Gongzi Zhang gradually forgot that you were also a meritorious minister who helped him seize the throne, and decided to split the cavalry under your command to Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan, at that time, how should Sima deal with himself? …… In contrast, although my Wang Shi has suffered several defeats, but so far there is still the power to counterattack, the only thing to fear, is only Sima You have more than 10,000 cavalry, if you are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, lead the army to join the king, assist the king, assist us and others to quell the rebellion, then, you are our greatest hero, the king will never forget Sima your merits for the rest of your life! ”

“……”

Listening to Fengyangjun Li Dui's words, a few traces of struggle flashed in Niu Qian's eyes.

It is true that whether he is in the royal division or in the rebels, it is the irreplaceable key to victory for the two sides, but as Li Dui said, Gongzizhang has many generals here, so that although he has been in charge of 10,000 cavalry, he still has no dazzling achievements so far, in contrast, Meng Zhong, who only has five or six thousand foot soldiers under his command, first helped Gongzizhang break through Quliangyi, and today he designed to enable the rebels to break through the outer city of Handan in one go.

He's bullish?

Or is it that Meng Zhong?

chose him Niu Qian, it was purely to envelop him, for the more than 10,000 cavalry under his command, Niu Jian still has self-knowledge.

But the result of Gongzizhang's doing this will only make the rest of Gongzizhang's courtiers feel unfair for Meng Zhong and accuse him of Niu Jian behind his back.

If he chooses that Meng Zhong, he will lose a lot of face: he is obviously in charge of the most powerful army of the Zhao State, but his merits are far less than that of Meng Zhong, who only has five or six thousand foot soldiers under his hands.

After a long time, will Gongzizhang remove his Niu Qian's military power and hand over more than 10,000 cavalry to the more trusted Meng Zhong in charge?

I have to say that it is precisely because of this consideration that Niu Jian will appear to be lacking in interest in the celebration banquet held by Gongzi Zhang this evening; It was precisely for this reason that he agreed to meet Li Dui.

Otherwise, as Li Dui said, if the biggest hero of today's city break was him Niu Qian, he would have tied Li Dui to Gongzizhang a long time ago.

However, if at this moment, he Niu Jian turned against him and threw himself at Zhao Wanghe, then he would be Wang Shifang's greatest hero, even if he was Lian Po, who had the merit of saving the driver a while ago, he was not as good as Niu Qian, let alone others.

But......

A few traces of struggle flashed in his eyes, Niu Jian gritted his teeth and shook his head and said, "I can't...... Betrayed Zhao's father. ”

Hearing this, and seeing Niu Qian's expression when he said this, Fengyang Jun Li Dui guessed that Niu Jian was actually shaken by what he said, and then, as long as Niu Jian was given a reasonable reason to betray Master Zhao's father, then the military Sima in charge of 10,000 cavalry in front of him would become the biggest reliance of the king.

And this is exactly the purpose of Li Dui's personal visit tonight.

"I know Niu Sima's loyalty to Master Zhao."

After listening to Niu Qian's words, Fengyangjun Li Dui chuckled and said, "This is also the reason why Li came in person tonight...... As I just said, Lord Zhao Gu has been away from Handan for a long time after all, so there are some things he doesn't know. ”

As he spoke, he asked Niu Jian and said, "Niu Sima, do you know why Master Zhao wants to secretly help Gongzi Zhang?" ”

Niu Jian hesitated for a moment and remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Dui smiled and said, "Why should Niu Sima hide it? In fact, many people know about this...... Anyway, it's just you and me here, so why not talk about it? ”

Hearing this, Niu Jian replied hesitantly with a frown: "For the sake of ...... Take back the power of the monarch? ”

"It's part of it." Li Dui shook his head slightly: "Regaining the rights of the monarch and changing the Gongzi Chapter are only part of it." As for the rest, it's because Master Zhao still wants to do one more big thing......"

"Big deal?" Niu Jian showed a little puzzlement on his face.

"Yes!" Brushing his beard, Li Dui lowered his voice and said: "That is, follow the example of Li Kui's reform of the Wei State and implement the reform in the entire territory of my Zhao Kingdom!" ”

"Change?" Niu Jian was stunned, a little puzzled why Li Dui suddenly mentioned changing the law.

But Li Dui didn't notice the confusion on Niu Qian's face, frowned and said in a deep voice: "This new method is the 'Tianqu Sun Technique' of the Crane Guanzi!" …… An Pingjun and I, as well as many domestic scholars, tried their best to stop ......"

“……”

The confusion on Niu Qian's face became thicker when he heard this, and he asked puzzledly, "In the next ...... Don't understand. ”

Seeing this, Li Dui turned his head to look at Niu Qian, and said: "It seems that Niu Sima does not understand the "Tianqu Rishu", this method was born from the Chu system, which can help the monarch concentrate power and weaken the power of the Yi monarch and the Yi marquis in the Yi......"

Listening to this, Niu Qian's face gradually became serious.

“…… The country of Zhao is not just a country guarded by the Zhao clan. Looking at Niu Qian, Li Dui Zhengse said: "Like my grandfather Li Zong, since Wei voted for Zhao, he established meritorious service for Zhao and worshiped as a general. The courtiers dedicate their loyalty to the monarch and protect the interests of the monarch at the cost of their lives, and the monarch repays the feudal and famous lords...... However, the Tianqu Sun Technique of the Crane Crown is contrary to the previous king, it weakens the power of the ancestor who once rewarded us and other ancestors, and even deprives some people of their fiefdoms and titles...... Isn't that chilling? The ancestors were brave and sacrificed for the country, so the first king rewarded them with titles and fiefdoms, but only because their descendants were unfilial and did not appear to help the country, the king wanted to deprive these people of their titles and fiefdoms, and replace them with other titles? Isn't this move of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge chilling? ”

"......" Niu Jian nodded slightly.

After all, Li Dui is right, this is indeed the relationship between the royal family and the aristocracy: the nobles are loyal to the royal family and protect the interests of the royal family; The royal family rewarded nobles with fiefdoms and titles, and awarded them rewards corresponding to loyalty and meritorious service.

This is also a "transaction" in disguise.

However, since Li Kui of Wei changed the law, the old system was broken, and the royal family of Wei had the right to deprive the nobles of their titles and fiefdoms.

Some people may say that the "Tianqu Rishu" system is a change that can make the country more dynamic and powerful, but the question is, if you, as a descendant of a nobleman who has been exploited by the name and fiefdom, and are reduced to a commoner from then on, whether Zhao is strong or not, how much does it matter to you?

At that time, will you be glad that the Zhao Kingdom has become stronger, or will you resent that the inheritance passed down from your ancestors has been ruthlessly deprived by the royal family?

This is also the reason why the old aristocratic faction of Zhao State, led by Zhao Cheng, Anpingjun and Li Dui, Fengyangjun, tried their best to prevent Zhao's master from implementing the "Tianqu Rishu" system in Zhao - in fact, this has no conflict of interest for them, after all, no matter what they say, whether it is Zhao Cheng or Li Dui, they are all courtiers who have indeed made great contributions to Zhao State, and no matter how they are, they will not attack them.

But what about future generations?

The most important thing in contemporary times is "inheritance", which is to pass on one's knowledge to one's disciples, and the disciples to their disciples, and from generation to generation. The family, on the other hand, is passed down from father to son, son to grandson, and the ancestral industry is passed on from generation to generation.

The same is true for Zhao Cheng and Li Dui.

Both of them are already in their sixties, and how many more years can they live? What they are thinking about now is not really to give themselves more power, but how to leave more for their children and grandchildren – at the very least, to make sure that their fathers pass on to their children, so that they can pass it on to their children and grandchildren, and then their children and grandchildren will pass it on to their children and grandchildren, and from generation to generation.

In case a few unfilial children are born among the descendants of the descendants, who only know pleasure but do not contribute to the country, the royal family will take back their family's inheritance - how can Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui and others accept it?

"Niu Sima, you are the descendant of Zhao Jinghou Junshi Niu Livestock, and you are also from a famous family in my Zhao country, are you willing to sit back and watch the family business that our ancestors have worked hard to create, but because of the relationship between several unfilial children and grandchildren, it will be easily taken back by the royal family in the future and given to others?" Li Dui asked Niu Jian Dao.

Niu Jian was silent, but he agreed with Li Dui's point of view in his heart: the family property left by his ancestors belonged to the descendants of his Niu clan, how could he sit back and watch the royal family deprive him?

Seeing that Niu Jian didn't speak, it was not difficult for Li Dui to guess the former's thoughts, shook his head and said: "Therefore, this decree must not be opened, otherwise, the family business that my generation has worked so hard to create will be weak to the royal family at any time in the future, which is really chilling." After a pause, Li Dui looked at Niu Jian and said in a deep voice: "In other words, we must not let Master Zhao win, otherwise, Master Zhao will implement the new law with the victory, and my children and grandchildren will die in the future without a place to be buried!" ”

“……”

Niu Jian frowned and pondered for a long time, and then he nodded heavily, as if he had made some major decision.

Two days later, on October 11, Gongzizhang finally gave the order to attack the inner city of Handan City.

On the same day, Gongzi Zhangqin led the main force for the Chinese army, Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan for the left army, Xu Jun for the right army, plus 6,000 cavalry led by Niu Qianqin, a total of more than 50,000 troops, and launched an offensive towards Handan.

On the Wang Division's side, Li Ji, Zhao Ping, Zhao Ben, Lian Po, Zhao Yuan, Li Wei and others were also sent to command nearly 50,000 soldiers to fight the rebels to the death.

However, just when the armies of Wang Shi and the rebels were inseparable, Niu Jian suddenly issued an order that stunned countless rebel generals, ordering 6,000 cavalry to raid the rebels' flanks.

The flank was attacked, and the target of the attack was still from the friendly Niu Jian army, and tens of thousands of rebels were dumbfounded, and they didn't know what was going on, so that they were killed and retreated by the cavalry of Wang Shi and Niu Qian, and there were signs of defeat.
