At the same time that Tian Yu and Gongsun Min and their entourage arrived in Zhuke County, Zhao's father also took Meng Zhong, Le Yi and Xinwei to return from Rao'an and returned to Gaotangyi.

After learning of this, Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang hurriedly led Tian Buyu and the rest of the Zhao generals to greet him.

After the polite greetings, Zhao's father intended to inspect the progress of Zhao's army in building a bridge over the river.

During the trip to the river, Tian Buyu asked Master Zhao with a smile: "Master Zhao went to see King Yan this time, I don't know what he gained?" ”

Master Zhao stroked his beard and smiled.

For Yan Wangzhi, Master Zhao is still very satisfied, whether it is Yan Wangzhi's deference to him or his hatred of Qi Guo, it makes Master Zhao feel very satisfied - only in front of him, he deliberately recruited Meng Zhong and Le Yi, which made Master Zhao a little unhappy.

However, Master Zhao can also understand this, who let Yan Wangzhi work hard for more than ten years, but Yan Guo is still in the stage of waiting for a hundred industries, and is lacking a large number of talents, so that he seems to be a little "hungry for food", and even chose to attack Meng Zhong and Le Yi, who are only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Well, although Meng Zhong and Le Yi are indeed very potential talents.

In comparison, the army of the Yan State, to be honest, made Master Zhao a little disdainful, although it was claimed to be 100,000 people, but the combat effectiveness was weak and pitiful - the five hundred carefully selected Yan troops were defeated by three hundred Xinwei soldiers and soldiers, you know, the Xinwei army has not actually shown their real lethal side.

Like this, although there are 100,000 Yan troops, how can they be trusted?

After thinking about it, Lord Zhao's father could only classify the Yan army into the category of "icing on the cake", and the main force of this expedition against Qi had to be the armies of Zhao and Song.

About half an hour later, the chariot carried Master Zhao's father to the river.

The great river in the area of Gaotangyi flowed from southwest to northeast, with the Zhao army on the northwest bank of the river, and the army led by the Qi general Tian Touch on the southeast bank of the river.

When Zhao's father and his party came to the river, there were about hundreds of people building a pontoon bridge by the river.

Of course, the number of people who were actually used to build the bridge was far more than these hundreds, and there were ten times that number of Zhao pawns, who were cutting down trees from the distant woods, carrying them to the river, and fixing the logs one by one with ropes and other things, and building them in an orderly manner.

In the process of building the bridge by the Zhao army, the Qi soldiers on the other side of the river shot a wave of arrows at the opposite bank from time to time, and the shooting of Zhao was still secondary, just to delay the speed of Zhao Shu's construction of the bridge.

Meng Zhong stood by the river and took a look, and found that the bridge had been built about six or seven feet away.

Don't think that six or seven zhang is far from worth mentioning, you must know that this is a bridge for hundreds of thousands of Zhao pawns to cross the river, the cross-section alone is more than 20 zhang wide, in just a few days of work, built more than 20 zhang by six or seven zhang part of the bridge, this speed is already very fast - after all, those Zhao pawns are not professional craftsmen who cut trees and build bridges.

But Master Zhao was not very satisfied with this, frowning and inspecting the progress of the soldiers building the bridge, and from time to time he looked up at the Qi army on the other side of the river.

Seeing this, a trace of hesitation flashed on Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang's face, and he immediately said: "Master, please give me fifteen days, within fifteen days, the sons will definitely be able to build this bridge and make the army cross the river smoothly!" ”

In just 15 days, a solid bridge was built over the river that could allow more than 100,000 Zhao troops to cross the river, and it was also under the strict defense of the Qi army on the other side of the river, and it has to be said that this period was actually very urgent.

Master Zhao also understands this truth.

However, he still shook his head: "Fifteenth...... It's too long. Ten days! The construction period of the bridge will be shortened to ten days, and if the time is rushed, additional manpower will be dispatched, isn't there more than 100,000 Zhao troops here? ”

"Ten days?"

After listening to the words of Master Zhao's father, not to mention Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang, even Zhao Yuan, Xu Jun, Niu Qian, Zhao Xi and other Zhao generals who were on the side also showed embarrassment on their faces.

You must know that building a bridge is not the same as building blocks, the lack of stability of the bridge built indiscriminately, can not allow more than 100,000 people to cross the river smoothly, and the Zhao army lacks craftsmen who are good at building bridges, therefore, the Zhao soldiers can only strengthen the part of the bridge that has been built as much as possible, whether it is beautiful or not, bloated or not, the first thing is to require stability.

As a result, the demand for timber increased, and the amount of work of the soldiers naturally increased, and it was a bit difficult to build the bridge in ten days.

Master Zhao also realized this, and after glancing at the people around him, he said in a deep voice: "Zhuqing, it's not that I'm not sympathetic, but I don't have so much time to wait...... Don't forget, Kuang Zhang is on his way back to Qi! If we can't force the river before Kuang Zhang's army arrives, then I will have to pay dozens of times more energy and sacrifice than my hundreds of thousands of Zhao troops! ”

Hearing this, the faces of Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang, Zhao Yuan, Xu Jun, Niu Qian, Zhao Xi and others suddenly became serious and solemn.

Also, in today's world, who dares not to pay attention to Qi General Kuangzhang?

As strong as the Qin State, wasn't the army led by this Qi general who broke through the Hangu Pass and was forced to the point of ceding the land for peace?

"Ten days!"

Glancing at the people around him, Master Zhao said in a deep voice: "Be sure to build this bridge within ten days!" ”

"Obey!"

Headed by Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang, Zhao Yuan, Xu Jun, Niu Qian, Zhao Xi and other generals responded with fists.

In the following days, the Zhao army accelerated the speed of building the bridge, although the Qi army on the other side of the river never stopped shooting the Zhao pawns who built the bridge with bows and crossbows, so that the Zhao army suffered at least two or three thousand casualties, but the speed of the bridge construction was not slowed down in the slightest.

After learning of this, Tian Tu, the general of the Qi army, was worried.

Because once the Zhao army built the bridge, with the strength in his hands, he would not be able to stop the 150,000 Zhao army at all—even if Linzi sent another army to reinforce a few days ago.

In addition to being worried, Tian Touch told Tian Yu and Gongsun Min about the matter, and asked these two adults to help think of a way.

After listening to Tian Touch's request, Tian Yan was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "Tian Touch, you can lead the troops to defend with peace of mind, the old man and Gongsun Min will find a way to delay Zhao Jun...... This is also the purpose of the old man and Gongsun Min coming in person this time. ”

Hearing this, Tian Touch was both surprised and puzzled, and asked curiously: "I wonder how the two bosses are going to delay Zhao Jun?" But what is there that my field can help me with? ”

Hearing this, Tian Yan stroked his beard and didn't speak, but Gongsun Min said with a smile on the side: "General Tian Yan only needs to order his subordinates to prepare a light boat for the two of us, and then order someone to carry the two of us across the river." ”

Tian Touch was stunned, and even guessed what Gongsun Min meant: These two are obviously preparing to lobby Zhao Yong, the father of Zhao.

It's just that......

With just these two mouths, can they really persuade that Lord Zhao to change his mind and give up attacking his Qi country?

According to Tian Fu's knowledge, Linzi had previously sent the famous lobbyist Su Dai as an envoy, with "ceding Gaotangyi and Pingyuanyi" as a condition for retreating, but he still did not say anything about the Zhao's master.

Thinking of this, Tian Touch carefully considered his words and said cautiously: "A few days ago, Dr. Su Dai sent an envoy to Zhao Ying, but he failed to convince Master Zhao's father to ......."

"Sudai?" Gongsun Min chuckled a few times when he heard this, and he didn't seem to care much about Su Dai.

Maybe in his eyes, at least he has to be Su Dai's brother Su Qin to be qualified to face him squarely.

Well, not really.

After all, in recent years, although Su Qin has been favored by the king of Qi, this person has not shown much true talent and learning, and many times he is just flattering, which makes many Qi courtiers jealous of Su Qin, but also secretly sneering and ridiculing behind his back, ridiculing Su Qin today, is no longer the "big husband" Su Qin who lobbied the six countries of the Central Plains to fight against Qin and admired Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, Chu, and Qi.

At that time, Su Qin, only "Zhang Yi", who was also praised as a "big husband" later, can be compared, in addition, whether it is Hui Shi, Gongsun Yan and others, they are inferior to Su Qin and Zhang Yi.

On the side, Tian Yu looked at this scene coldly.

This old man has always used his reputation of integrity to persuade Xue Gongtianwen, and he is naturally upright, of course, he looks down on those mercenary lobbyists, whether it is Su Qin or Zhang Yi.

As for Su Dai and Gongsun Min, the former indirectly caused the "Rebellion of the Son" in Yan State, while the latter helped Zou Ji force Tian Ji away, causing Qi to lose Tian Ji and Sun Bin two talents, so in Tian Ji's view, this is not a good thing.

On the same day, Tian Touch asked someone to try to get a fishing boat, and ordered several soldiers to carry Tian Yu and Gongsun Min to cross the river to meet Master Zhao's father.

Of course, Zhao on the north shore would not fail to see the fishing boat, and when it approached, he detained it, and asked Tian Yu and Gongsun Min about their intentions, and after learning that these two wanted to see Zhao's father, they immediately went to the court.

At this time, Master Zhao's father was chatting with Meng Zhong and Le Yi about the art of war in the tent because he was idle, probably in what terrain and under what circumstances, what kind of response should be taken for the general, and so on.

Chatting and chatting, I suddenly heard a report from a soldier outside the tent: "Master Qi, there is an envoy from Qi on the other side of the river, claiming to be Qi Xiang Tian Wen's guest Qing Tian Zhen and Gongsun Min, who want to see the master father." ”

"Tian Yu? Gongsun Min? ”

Master Zhao was stunned, and his face showed a little surprise.

"Master Zhao has heard of these two people?" Le Yi asked with some puzzlement.

Hearing this, Master Zhao's father explained: "You are still young, and you have lived in Zhongshan before, and you have never heard of Tian Yu and Gongsun Min...... These two people were both from the period of King Qi Wei, and they were ...... at the same time as Tian Ji, Tian Ying, Tian Qi, Zou Ji, Sun Bin and others."

"King Qi Wei?"

Le Yi was a little surprised, after all, the current King of Qi's field is the grandson of King Qi Wei.

"Is it famous?" Meng Zhong also asked curiously.

"Hmm!"

Master Zhao nodded and said: "Tian Ying was the first guest of Jingguo Jun Tian Ying, and after Tian Ying died, Tian Ying changed to assist his son Tian Wen; As for Gongsun Min, this person was the first disciple of "Chenghou Zou Ji...... They are all celebrities who cannot be slackened! Speaking of this, he laughed and said: "Tian Wen and Kuang Zhang are not in Qi State, and most of the children in the fields who have not dried up are panicked, and they actually invited Tian Yu and Gongsun Min, and they are not afraid that these two old things will die halfway, hehehehe......"

After that, he stood up and said as he walked: "Go, the etiquette must not be abolished, come with me to meet you, and see what the intentions of these two old things are." ”

"Whoa!"

Meng Zhong and Le Yi hugged their fists and immediately followed Master Zhao's father.
