"PS: Well, I've been looking for information for a long time in this chapter, and the other hand was spared......

———— the following text————

"Dr. Li."

Just when Li Shi, the envoy of the Song State, and Zhao Chen Feiyi were chatting in the house, Meng Zhong's voice came from outside the house.

Hearing this voice, Li Shi hesitated slightly, but finally said, "Come in." ”

With Li Shi's permission, Meng Zhong pushed the door in, pretending not to know that the courtier Feiyi who was still in the Zhao State in the house, and said to Doctor Li: "Doctor Li, I have already done what you have ordered, I don't know what else you have to order?" ”

Did Li Shi tell Meng Zhong and the others to do anything?

Actually, no, Meng Zhong said this, just to give Li Shi enough face, and by the way, to give himself a reason to "break in" rashly.

No, Li Shi, as an old minister of the Song Kingdom, of course understood this, and after nodding, he pretended to say casually: "Well, that's good." …… Come, you are by the old man's side. ”

As he spoke, he motioned for Meng Zhong to enter the house.

Fei Yi looked at this scene in surprise, and after taking a few glances at the "Hu Fu" on Meng Zhong's body, he smiled and said to Li Shi: "Honorable envoy, could it be that this is the descendant of your family?" ”

Obviously, Fei Yi saw Li Shi's "special care" for Meng Zhong.

But think about it, with his and Li Shi's identities, when they were talking alone in the house, a guard dared to disturb him with a trivial matter, and it was unbelievable that Li Shi not only got angry but recruited him into the house - this is obviously special care.

Seeing that Fei Yi saw the clues, Li Shi did not hide it, and said with a smile: "Let Zhao Xiangjian smile." …… This son is not the son of the old man, but the righteous brother of our country's doctor Hui'an, and this son is also a disciple of Zhuangzi. This time I came to Zhao Kingdom, and Dr. Hui specially asked this son to follow him, so that this son could increase his knowledge. ”

"Oh?"

As soon as he heard that the young man Meng Zhong was actually a disciple of the sage Zhuangzi of the Song Kingdom and the righteous brother of the Song State Doctor Hui An, a few traces of surprise flashed in Feiyi's eyes, and at this time, Meng Zhong also bowed his hand and said: "Boy Meng Zhong, I have seen ...... Zhao Xiang. ”

After being stunned, Meng Zhong reacted: The person in front of him turned out to be the minister of Zhao State?

A moment ago, Meng Hu had guessed that Fei Yi's status in the Zhao State might not be low, but in fact, he still underestimated it.

Feiyi's status in Zhao is not low, he is the "elder of the three dynasties" of Zhao State, when Zhao Yong's father "Zhao Suhou Zhao Yu" was in power, Feiyi was already a noble minister of Zhao State, and then assisted Zhao Yong one after another, and now Zhao Jun Zhao He, as the minister of Zhao State, Feiyi can be called a very human minister.

However, it is unbelievable that this Zhao Chen is not from the Central Plains, but from "Bai Di", who was called "barbarian" by the Central Plains.

Bai Di entered the Central Plains, which occurred more than 200 years ago in the Qin and Jin dynasties, but the Qin State adopted brutal suppression methods against Bai Di, and the Jin State adopted a policy of Huairou, so the four branches of the Bai Di clan, Xianyu clan, Fei clan, Gu clan, and Qiu You clan, migrated to the Zhongshan area.

Then, the Fei clan, the Gu clan, and the Qiu You clan, the three Bai Di tribes, were wiped out by the Jin State one after another, but the Xianyu clan established a country in Zhongshan, that is, the Zhongshan State established by the Xianyu clan was once destroyed by the Wei State, but after that, the descendants of the Xianyu clan still regained the country, that is, the current Zhongshan Kingdom.

And Feiyi, that is, the descendants of the Fei clan of the Baidi clan.

Although it can still be seen from the appearance that Feiyi is different from the people of the Central Plains, but judging from Feiyi's words and deeds, it is really difficult for outsiders to imagine that this is actually a "barbarian", perhaps this is the so-called "Yidi into China is China, and China is Yidi when it enters Yidi" - although Feiyi is born in Baidi, he has lived in Zhao for so many years, and he has long been no different from Zhao people.

Including Qiu He, who was sent to the Song Dynasty by Zhao State, and "Lou Zhuan", who was sent to Qin as Xiang, the former was born in Xiongnu, and the latter was born in Lou Fu, but he was still a courtier trusted by Zhao Yong, and has long been assimilated by the culture of Zhao State.

"Boy, come and sit here."

Seeing Meng Zhong's special status, Fei Yi naturally would not treat Meng Zhong like an ordinary teenager, beckoned Meng Zhong to sit down at the low table where he and Li Shi were sitting, and then pointed to the Hu Fu on Meng Zhong's body and asked curiously: "Is this kind of Hu Fu also prevalent in the Song Kingdom?" ”

Meng Zhong replied truthfully: "No, this is what the kid bought when he was wandering around the city, and it is indeed as Zhao Ren said, it is convenient for activities." ”

"Hehehe." Fei Yi smiled and nodded, and then said with emotion: "When the master father implemented the "Hufu" reform, the domestic nobles were resolutely opposed, and it was only because of the master father's grace and power that those people were convinced. …… But even today, there are still many people in China who secretly resist Hufu. …… Stupidity. ”

In the end, Fei Yi shook his head, and was very disdainful of those nobles who stubbornly adhered to the "law of the first king".

You must know that in his opinion, Zhao Yong's reform of "Hufu Cavalry Shooting" is no less than the "Shang Yang Reform" of Qin and the "Zou Ji Reform" of Qi, both of which are institutional reforms that can make the country stronger.

After Zhao implemented the reform of Hufu cavalry archery, Zhao had the "cavalry" army before the Central Plains countries, and successively defeated the Xiongnu, Lou Fan, Lin Hu and other foreign tribes, don't look at Zhao Yong modestly said that "Zhao is still not qualified to be king", but in fact, Zhao's army is currently very strong, so strong that even the surrounding nomads can not invade Zhao as before.

And all of this is the result of the reform of "Hufu Cavalry and Archery".

After some small talk, the topic became serious again.

Li Shi said to Feiyi: "Now that our Song State has defeated the Teng State, and deployed the three armies in Xue Yi of the Qi State, once your country is ready, the two countries can join forces to attack the Qi State." …… But I don't know if Master Zhao's father can do his best in attacking Zhongshan this time? ”

Hearing this, Fei Yi glanced at Li Shi and said with a smile: "Is the envoy doubting my Zhao State's determination to attack Zhongshan?" ”

Li Shi pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head, and said to Fei Yi: "As far as I know, your country has attacked Zhongshan four times before, and this is the fifth time, and during the fourth crusade against Zhongshan, your country was able to destroy Zhongshan, but I don't know why you still supported "Shang" as the king of Zhongshan......

Of course, Fei Yi understood what Li Shi wanted to say, nodded and said, "At that time, it was only because of the intervention of the Qi State......

"And what about this time?" Li Shi looked at Fei Yi Zhengse and asked, "I don't know if this time, your country is ready to fight against the Qi country?" ”

Hearing this, Fei Yi stroked his beard and pondered.

As Li Shi said, Zhao's crusade against Zhongshan had already occurred four times during Zhao Yong's reign, and this was the fifth.

I remember that after the "Battle of Maling", the famous general "Pang Juan" of Wei died, and the short-lived "Zhongxing Xiang" of Wei came to naught again, after which, Wei Xianghuishi promoted the "Xuzhou Xiangwang", so that Wei and Qi formed an alliance.

At this time, the state of Qi also formed an alliance with the state of Chu, and the "Qi, Wei, and Chu Triple Alliance" was initially established.

This alliance aroused the vigilance of the Qin State, and the Qin State immediately sent Zhang Yi to the Wei State to lobby the King of Wei while attacking the Wei State, both soft and hard.

After Zhang Yi arrived in Wei, on the one hand, he forced Wei to submit to Qin, and on the other hand, he contacted the ministers of Qi and Chu in an attempt to sabotage the strategy of "joining forces to resist Qin".

In the face of the attack of the Qin State, Wei Gang, the king of Wei Hui, was quite backbone, and he carried the oppression from the Qin State, secretly benefiting and supporting Gongsun Yan.

At this time, Gongsun Yan saw that Qi and Chu were unreliable, so he tried to promote Wei, Han, Zhao, Yan, and Zhongshan "Five Kingdoms Ministers", hoping that these five countries would join forces to resist Qin, and also to prevent Qi and Chu.

However, the "Prime Ministers of the Five Kingdoms" was opposed not only by Qin, but also by Qi and Chu.

In the end, the Prime Minister of the Five Kingdoms failed and did not achieve the desired effect.

Under these circumstances, Wei Fu, the king of Wei Hui, finally could not bear the oppression of the Qin state, and deposed the minister of state, Hui Shi, and Zhang Yi served as the minister of state.

Zhang Yi became the minister of Wei, which in disguise meant that Wei had surrendered to Qin, so that the form suddenly fell to Qin.

As a result, the Qin State took advantage of Wei and Han to attack the Qi State, and the two great powers of the East and West finally began to fight a great war - that is, the war in which the famous general of the Qi State and the student of Mencius, "Kuang Zhang", began to make a name for himself.

As the famous general Kuang Zhang of Qi defeated the Qin army, the Central Plains states once again realized that Qin was not invincible, so Zhang Yi was expelled, and Gongsun Yan served as Wei Xiang, once again holding high the banner of "joining forces to resist Qin", trying to unite Qi, Wei, Han, Zhao, Yan and other countries to crusade against Qin.

But in the end, this joint crusade against the Qin State, but only the Three Jin Dynasty sent troops, that is, the three countries of Wei, Zhao, and Han, so that the coalition army was defeated by the Qin State.

At that time, Wei and Han immediately sued for peace with Qin, but Zhao did not seek peace and resolutely resisted, so it was attacked by Qin.

However, at this moment, the State of Qi also reneged on the covenant, fell into the trap of the Zhao State, and took the opportunity to attack the Zhao State.

It was this war that strengthened Zhao Yong's determination to "crusade against Qi", so he privately reconciled with Qin, and the two countries reached a strategic alliance.

Since it was decided to attack the Qi State, the hidden danger of the Zhao State must be solved first, that is, the Zhongshan State.

Zhongshan was largely controlled by Qi, so Qi was resolutely opposed to the "Five Kingdoms Prime Minister" at the beginning, because once the Five Kingdoms united, Zhongshan would be out of the control of his Qi State - so at that time, Qi State resolutely opposed Zhongshan Kingdom as king, and even tried to unite Yan State and Zhao State to attack Zhongshan State, forcing Zhongshan King to give up the "King Title".

A few years later, when Yan was in turmoil, Qi took the opportunity to send Kuang Zhang to attack Yan and captured the entire territory of Yan in just 50 days.

At that time, Zhao Yong realized that the time had come to justify the crusade against the Zhongshan Kingdom.

After that, Zhao Yong carried out a series of operations, first canonized Han Nu, persuaded South Korea to release the position of proton Yan Gongzi, and Zhao Bing escorted the latter to Yan State to inherit the throne, promoting the "Zhao Yan Alliance", and then, when King Qin Wu died, he let Yan State release Proton Qin Gongziji, forced Qin State to establish Gongziji, and further stabilized the "Qin Zhao Alliance", plus the "Zhao Song Alliance", at this time the power of Zhao State has become very strong, even if it is Qi State, it is also afraid of Zhao State.

Subsequently, Zhao Yong sent the envoys Lou Zhu to Qin, Qiu He to Korea, Wang Ben to Chu, Fuding to Wei, and Zhao Jue to Qi, and launched the first war against Zhongshan in the same year.

The following year, Zhao Yong ordered a further expansion of the offensive against Zhongshan, sending 200,000 troops, causing Zhongshan to lose one-third of its territory.

Since Zhao Yong believed that he Zhao State could not annex Zhongshan in one go, the war came to an end for the time being.

Two years later, Zhao attacked Zhongshan for the third time, and the two sides ended in a draw due to Qi's secret assistance to Zhongshan.

Two years later, Zhao attacked Zhongshan for the fourth time and invaded the capital of Zhongshan "Lingshou", forcing the monarch of Zhongshan to flee to Qi.

The following year, the entire territory of Zhongshan was occupied by Zhao, but due to the intervention of Qi, he eventually gave up some of his land and supported Shang as the king of Zhongshan.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the intervention of the Qi State, the Zhao State would have been able to completely destroy the Zhongshan State when it attacked the Zhongshan State for the fourth time.

And now, Zhao State's fifth attack on Zhongshan State, in fact, the real key is not "whether Zhao State can defeat Zhongshan", but "whether Zhao State is ready to start a war with Qi State".

Yes, Zhao's expedition to Zhongshan is just a prelude to the "Three Kingdoms of Zhao, Yan and Song Dynasty Conquering Qi State".

"Zhao Guo, are you ready to go to war with Qi State?"

Looking at Fei Yi, Li Shi asked in a deep voice again.
