After a while, Tian Buyu was allowed to see Master Zhao's father, who was drinking alone in the hall.

After some false social rhetoric, Tian Buyu pretended to ask casually: "When Fang Caichen entered the palace, he happened to meet the minister's little brother Mengzhong, he looked so hurried that he didn't have time to notice the minister, could it be that Lord Zhao's father gave him important things?" ”

Master Zhao glanced at Tian Buyu when he heard this, and said with a chuckle: "Everyone says that you Tian Buyu is ruthless and cunning, and if you don't want to, you will also care about others......

Tian Buyu smiled indifferently when he heard this: "Everyone has a difference between relatives and alienation, and those who are alienated from their ministers are naturally slandered by their ministers in every way......"

"Huh." Master Zhao smiled noncommittally, and then said lightly: "I don't have anything else important, but I just recalled that a few days ago, Meng Zhong's son frustrated Tian Wen's arrogance, and felt that there were only five hundred Zhao soldiers under his command, which was too shabby, so he asked him to expand the guard outside the city......

"Oh."

Tian Buyu pretended to nod suddenly, but in his heart, he scoffed at Master Zhao's explanation.

Expanding the Guard? Training soldiers?

This kind of thing can obviously be taken care of at both ends, so why let Pang Xuan's Tan Wei replace Meng Zhong's Xinwei?

It is clear where Meng Zhong provoked this Zhao master's father, it was because Zhao's master's father deliberately knocked him - it seems that this kind of thing, Tian Buyu can see through it at a glance.

However, looking at the tone of Master Zhao's father, it didn't seem to be a big problem, so Tian Buyu didn't say anything to intercede for Meng Zhong, but diverted the topic and talked about the meaning of this time: "Master Zhao, now that the Qi State is subservient to the Zhao State, the only obstacle for my Zhao State in the future is the Qin State...... There must be a battle between Zhao and Qin, and the minister thought that Zhao's father should prepare as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, Master Zhao glanced at Tian Buyu, and suddenly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Jinyang." Tian Buyu said in a deep voice: "If the two countries of Zhao and Qin start a fight, Jinyang will bear the brunt of it, and he has to be on guard as soon as possible. ”

Hearing this, Master Zhao's father was silent.

Jinyang, it is the birthplace of the Zhao State, I think that in the "Liuqing Rebellion" of the Jin State, Zhao Xiangzi, the ancestor of the Zhao State, relied on this last city to block the joint attack of the Zhi family, the Wei family, and the Han family, and then secretly united the Wei family and the Han family, defeated the Zhi family, and then there were three families divided into Jin, and there was a Zhao, Wei, and Han three families to divide the Jin State, which shocked the entire Central Plains.

Since then, Jinyang has always been the capital of Zhao State, until Zhao Jinghou moved the capital to Handan, the focus of Zhao's development shifted from Jinyang to Handan, and has continued to this day.

But even so, Jinyang still has a status in Zhao that is no less than Wu'an, the accompanying capital, after all, Zhao Jianzi, Zhao Xiangzi, Zhao Xianzi, Zhao Liehou, Zhao Wuhou and other ancestors of Zhao Jun are all buried in Jinyang (county), and it is not an exaggeration to say that Jinyang is the ancestral home of Zhao Guoying's surname Zhao.

Because of this, even though Zhao later moved the capital to Handan, he still did not dare to neglect the construction and development of Jinyang.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Zhao has ten wealth, then Handan occupies four points, Jinyang accounts for three points, and all the rest of the land of Zhao State only accounts for the remaining three points - it is conceivable that Jinyang is not as rich and prosperous as Handan after more than ten generations of Zhao monarchs.

A few years ago, Zhao's father seized Yanmen County and Hetao from Linhu, Xiongnu, Bai Di and other foreign races, although he sent people to build vigorously, because Yanmen, Xihe, and Yuzhong were quite backward, Zhao's father called Jinyang to govern both, and used Jinyang's wealth to drive Yanmen, Xihe, and Yuzhong.

Don't look at Yanmen, Xihe, Yuzhong three poor and backward, but there are natural pastures suitable for grazing war horses, Zhao since the main combat chariot, and then to today's cutting-edge cavalry, war horses have always been the most important war resources of Zhao State, and at present, Zhao is suitable for grazing war horses of natural pastures, there are only Jinyang, Zhongshan, Daijun these three places.

All in all, Jinyang's position in the Zhao State is very special, and it is also very important to the Zhao State.

Because of this, Zhao's father thought of waiting ten years later, sending Meng Zhong to Jinyang, so that he could intimidate Jinyang, Yanmen, Yuzhong, Xihe and other places, as the front line general of the battlefield of the "Zhao-Qin Dispute", and protect Zhao's domestic hinterland from Qin's invasion.

However, today, Tian Buyu deliberately wants Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang to guard Jinyang, and I have to say that the impact of this incident on the courtiers of Zhao State is no less than the incident of "one country and two kings" - because Zhao Xiangfeiyi, Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui and others will never sit idly by and watch Jinyang fall into the hands of Gongzizhang.

γ€Žβ€¦β€¦ Why did he mention it to me knowing that it would be difficult to bring about it?"

Looking at Tian Buyu thoughtfully, Master Zhao was silent.

After thinking for a long time, he nodded and said, "What Tian Qing said is extremely true, Jinyang, it really needs a brave person to guard it...... However, I'm afraid that Feiyi, Zhao Cheng, Li Dui and others will not agree. ”

Hearing this, Tian Buyu said: "Master Zhao, this matter is of great benefit to the country, how can you give up lightly because of some short-sighted and greedy people?" Speaking of this, he seemed to have a deep meaning: "The reason why Zhao Guo can have today's situation is all due to the eloquence and strategy of Lord Zhao, but some people have forgotten this, for fear of losing the power in their hands, hindering Zhao Guo from becoming stronger...... Hey, what makes the minister sigh even more is that now the monarch is deceived by these short-sighted and greedy ministers, and he is not willing to return power to a male lord like you, the father of Zhao, and he is unwilling to reuse the brave Anyang Jun, in the long run, how can Zhao compete with Qin? ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said: "Master Zhao, for the sake of Zhao Guo, the minister thinks that you should take back the honor you once gave to Anping Jun and Fengyang Jun, and promote young people with lofty ideals. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Master Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Tian Buyu, and a few inexplicable smiles flashed at the corners of his mouth, and they disappeared in a flash.

He finally figured out Tian Buyu's intentions.

Obviously, Gongzi Zhang, Tian Buyu and others are trying to deal with Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui and others - even Zhao Wanghe and Zhao Xiangfeiyi may also be the targets they want to eradicate.

In other words, rebellion to seize the throne!

In all fairness, Zhao's father was not surprised by this, because after the failure of the "One Country, Two Kings" incident, Gongzizhang had completely lost the possibility of being equal to his younger brother Zhao Wanghe, or he would submit to Zhao Wanghe and An An would be a courtier; Or, there is only a rebellion, kill Fei Yi, Zhao Cheng, Li Dui and other Zhao ministers who hinder him, and regain the throne by force from his younger brother Zhao He.

It's just that rebellion and chaos will be blamed by the world, so if there are other options, Gongzizhang and Tian Buyu didn't want to do that before.

But now, with the "old aristocratic faction" and the "new monarch faction" and the "Gongzi Zhang faction" side of the contradiction becoming more and more intense, Gongzi Zhang and Tian Buyu can no longer care about the consequences of seizing the throne by force, so they can only make this decision.

After all, if it drags on any longer, Zhao Wanghe will grow up year by year, and with the help of Zhao Xiangfeiyi, he will gradually consolidate his power, and with the help of the old aristocratic faction, Gongzi Zhang's faction will have no chance to regain the throne.

You must know that the Gongzi Zhang faction can now compete with the new monarch faction and the old aristocratic faction, it is because of the protection of Lord Zhao's father, but once Lord Zhao's father is old and decrepit, the deterrence is no longer there, why should Gongzi Zhang compete with King Zhao? Is it just the army of Daijun?

Therefore, Gongzizhang can only take advantage of the fact that Zhao's father is still in his prime and the deterrent power is still in the present to rebel and rebel, and only now, with the prestige of Zhao's master's father, can he persuade the people of the country to define Gongzizhang's rebellion as "Qingjun's side" - although there is no such word in contemporary times.

As for Zhao Wanghe and Zhao Xiangfeiyi, if these two monarchs and ministers unfortunately died in the hands of Anpingjun Zhao Cheng, Fengyangjun Li Dui and other vain ministers, it has nothing to do with Gongzizhang, right?

As long as Master Zhao's father comes forward in the future, he will affirm that Gongzi Zhang is on the Qingjun side, then Gongzi Zhang is on the Qingjun side!

After pondering for a moment, Master Zhao suddenly said with emotion: "Tian Qing, what you said is indeed very reasonable, but I am now nearly half a hundred years old, and I am gradually unable to do it...... In some time, I will go to the area around the dunes and choose a place for myself to ...... mausoleum."

Seeing that Master Zhao suddenly mentioned something he didn't want to do, Tian Buyu was slightly stunned.

But in a blink of an eye, he understood what Master Zhao meant, forcibly held back the joy in his heart, arched his hand and whispered: "Master Zhao, the minister understands." ”

Immediately, Tian Buyu said goodbye to Master Zhao's father, and hurriedly returned to Anyang Junfu to tell Gongzi Zhang about the incident.

After listening to Tian Buyu's relay, Gongzizhang was puzzled: I asked you to test Master Zhao, you came back and told me that Master Zhao was going to the sand dunes to survey the site of the mausoleum, what does this mean?

Seeing Gongzizhang's confused expression, Tian Buyu explained: "Master Zhao's father went to the sand dunes to survey the location of the mausoleum, as a son, you and Zhao He must follow the way, and at all times, Gongzi can take the opportunity to attack and hold Zhao He hostage...... If Zhao He is in your hands, it is not easy to kill Zhao Cheng, Li Dui and others? Just pretend that Zhao Cheng, Li Dui and others are vain ministers who deceive the king, and you can justifiably kill these people. …… This is Master Zhao's intention to give your son a chance! ”

After listening to Tian Buyu's explanation, Gongzizhang suddenly realized, and immediately his face was moved, and he said with joy: "The master father has never deceived me, he really has the heart to help me......"

At this moment, the last trace of resentment in Gongzizhang's heart towards Master Zhao's father has disappeared.

Once upon a time, he also hated Zhao's father, hated Zhao's father's favor Wu Wa, listened to Wu Wa's slander, and seized the position of Queen Zhao who should have belonged to his mother Han, and then took away his crown prince, causing his mother Han to die of depression, and he has tasted the heat and coldness of the world.

But in recent years, as Lord Zhao's father gradually became close to him, most of the resentment in his heart has gradually dissolved, and he insists on saying that there is still something to be done, that is, Lord Zhao's father gave his younger brother Zhao He the position of the crown prince and the throne that should have belonged to him.

However, today, Master Zhao's father hinted at Tian Buyu and supported him to regain the throne that should have belonged to him by force, which moved Gongzi Zhang, and his resentment against Master Zhao was also dissolved.

"Childe, childe?"

Seeing Gongzizhang's face full of joy, Tian Buyu hurriedly persuaded: "This matter has not yet been completed, Gongzi must not be quiet, so as not to leak out." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Gongzi Zhang nodded again and again, and then asked Jiji: "No, what plan do you have for this?" ”

Tian Buyu thought about it, whispered a few words to Gongzizhang, and Gongzizhang nodded again and again.

At the same time, Meng Zhong had already taken Le Yi and Meng Hu back to the military camp of their Xinwei army in the area of Feiyi.

After arriving at the barracks, Meng Sui, Xiang Yi and other friends all surrounded them, and asked Meng Zhong what was going on - he was inexplicably replaced by Pang Xuan's Tan Wei, and anyone could think that there must be some reason.

So, Meng Zhong took the tent in the camp and told the friends the reason, only to hear a group of friends looking at each other.

After half a ring, Xiang Yu swallowed his saliva, and said with a strange expression: "Intervene in the internal struggle of the royal family, Ah Zhong, you really have the guts......

Compared with Xiang Yi, Le Yi's words were even more direct: "I see, I thought Master Zhao was annoyed by you, don't think of it...... Ah Zhong, you are only a guard Sima now, not even a military Sima, don't you see that even the courtiers of the Zhao State dare not meddle in this matter? It's good for you to make it up yourself! …… I think Master Zhao is right, he was proud twice, which made you a little carried away! ”

"Okay, okay......" Seeing that Le Yi said too harshly, Meng Sui hurriedly said: "Ah Zhong, he did this, he just didn't want civil strife in Zhao State, Zhao and Song have the same interests, if Zhao State becomes weakened because of civil strife, Song State will inevitably be affected, Ah Yi, you just don't want to say a few words." ”

Le Yi glanced at Meng Zhong angrily, and said sullenly: "So far, what else can I say?" Speaking of this, he glanced at Meng Zhong with a complaining gaze, and said sullenly: "You actually hide such a big thing from me...... If you don't trust me, why did you make me a zosam? ”

"I didn't mean to hide it, it's just that this matter ......" Meng Zhong just wanted to explain, and when he saw Meng Sui, Xiang Yi frequently signaled with his eyes, and then looked at Le Yi's unswerving face, Meng Zhong immediately changed his words: "It's me who is wrong, there will never be a next time." ”

Seeing Meng Zhong's solemn apology, the resentment in Le Yi's heart dissipated, and after a few glances at Meng Zhong, who apologized sincerely, he comforted him in turn: "That's it, it's come to this, and it won't help to say anything more, as long as you learn a lesson...... If there is anything in the future, remember to discuss it with me, Ah Sui, and Xiang Yu......"

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Hearing this, Meng Hu was not happy: "Why do you only discuss with the three of you?" I can come up with ideas, too! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Le Yi, Meng Sui, and Xiang Yi glanced at each other, and then said to Meng Hu: "That's right, Ah Hu, although it is a mistake, but Master Zhao's father instructed our army to expand the guards, and I am ready to expand your corporal to two hundred, and you will be in charge of the chariot fleet of my Xinwei army in the future." ”

"Really?" Meng Hu's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he ran out of the tent in a hurry with a sentence: "I'll go to recruit soldiers, and you will continue to discuss." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Looking at the tent that was still shaking, everyone shook their heads in unison, and after glancing at each other, a burst of laughter erupted, sweeping away the previous depression in the tent.

Since he was temporarily kicked out of Handan by Master Zhao's father, everyone simply restrained their minds and honestly dealt with the expansion of the army.

The fact that the Faith Guard was able to expand from 500 to 1,000 was probably the only consolation to everyone.

Regarding the source of soldiers, Meng Zhong and the others had two choices, the first was to draw from other armies, such as the five hundred veterans of the Xinwei Army, who were originally the army soldiers under the command of Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, but at that time, the Xinwei Army had a special status, it was the guard of Zhao's father, and there was an order from Zhao's father, Yang Wenjun did not dare to disobey.

And now, the status of the Xinwei Army has actually been replaced by Pang Xuan's Tan Wei, and Lord Zhao's father did not give it convenience, so he will find Yang Wenjun at this time, even if Yang Wenjun and Zhao Bao agree to this matter, Meng Zhong will have to owe a lot of favors.

Therefore, Le Yi is against it.

He said to Meng Zhong and the others: "Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao, although the relationship with Ah Zhong is quite close, in my opinion, this old fox purely does not want to offend people, not to make friends with Ah Zhong sincerely. At the palace banquet that day, when Ah Zhong was targeted by Tian Wen, Zhao Cheng, and Li Dui, did Yang Wenjun come forward to speak for us? No! From the beginning to the end, only Fat Xiang and Gongzi Zhang were talking for us...... I owe a favor for five hundred soldiers, I don't think it's necessary. ”

Hearing this, Wu Ying, Meng Sui, Xiang Yu and others nodded one after another.

After all, in the final analysis, the soldiers under Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao only have some foundations, but the most fundamental reason why the Xinwei Army is strong is because of the strict training of Le Yi, Meng Sui and others - the selection of soldiers under Yang Wenjun Zhao Bao only slightly speeds up the process, not the fundamental reason.

"And what do you mean?" Meng Zhong asked Le Yidao.

Le Yi thought for a while and said: "Let's select from the miscellaneous soldiers first, at all, they are also the people of my Xinwei Army, if the number is insufficient, then select from the Zhao people in the surrounding cities." ”

The miscellaneous soldiers in his mouth refer to the supernumerary personnel of the Xinwei Army, that is, the hundreds of people under Xiang Yu and Le Xu who were originally responsible for handling chores and food in the army.

Hearing this, Xiang Yu frowned and said, "Among the miscellaneous soldiers, there are many criminals who are guilty of crimes, are these people also within the scope of selection?" ”

Le Yi chuckled and said, "Since there is a chance to become a soldier, how can those people not fight hard?" In any case, these people have been in my Xinwei army for a while, and they are naturally more trustworthy than outsiders. ”

As he was talking, suddenly a soldier outside the tent came to report: "Sima, Sima Pangxuan of the Tan Guard, with his teacher Guanzi, come to see him." ”

Hearing this, Hua Hu frowned and said unhappily, "What is that guy Pang Xuan doing?" Do you want to ridicule me? ”

"Pang Xuan is not that kind of person."

Meng Zhong shook his head and said to Le Yi and the others: "Ah Yi, Ah Sui, the matter of selecting soldiers will be handed over to the two of you, Xiang Yi and Le Xu, and you two will assist them." …… Hua Hu and Mu Wu, the two of you will go around the surrounding towns tomorrow to see if there are any young people who want to join the army, and choose the best. The rest of Wu Ying and Le Jin, the two of you and Meng Hu continue to train the soldiers as usual, and you must not slack off. ”

"Understood!" The little friends hugged their fists and bowed their heads.

After the instructions were completed, the friends dispersed, and Meng Zhong personally came to the gate of the barracks to greet the master and apprentice of Crane Guanzi and Pang Xuan.

When he came to the outside of the camp, Que Guanzi and Pang Xuan were standing outside the camp, looking at the barracks.

Seeing this, Meng Zhong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand and said, "Brother Guanzi and Brother Pang Xuan, let the two of you wait for a long time." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Crane Guanzi smiled and nodded, very satisfied that Meng Zhong personally came out of the camp to greet him.

And beside him, Pang Xuan glanced at Meng Zhong a few times, and suddenly said, "I'm not here to laugh at you. ”

Meng Zhong was stunned, then nodded with a smile and said, "I know, Brother Pang Xuan is not that kind of person. ”

Hearing this, Pang Xuan was also very satisfied, and his tense complexion eased a little.

A moment later, Meng Zhong invited Que Guanzi and Pang Xuan to the marshal's tent in the barracks.

After each other sat down in the tent, Que Guanzi pointed at Pang Xuan and explained to Meng Zhong with a smile: "This time, the old man was dragged by my apprentice, he felt that he couldn't go, and he couldn't pull his face to explain by himself, so he pulled the old man to ...... together."

"Master, what are you talking about?" Pang Xuan whispered, his face a little embarrassed.

"What's this?" Crane Guanzi didn't care, turned to Meng Zhong and said, "Little friend, I'm not good at words, in short, you don't have to hate him." ”

Seeing Pang Xuan's face full of embarrassment, Meng Zhong also felt a little funny in his heart.

Although Pang Xuan has been holding back his strength to compete with Thaksin's guards recently, Meng Zhong has not only a bad feeling for Pang Xuan himself, but has a lot of good feelings.

After all, Quan Guanzi and Zhuangzi are both Taoist disciples, and he Mengzhong and Pang Xuan are also Taoist disciples.

In addition, in terms of the art of war, Meng Zhong and Pang Xuan also have many similar opinions, which can be called confidants.

"The crown of the bird is serious."

Meng Zhong shook his head slightly, and said with a little emotion: "This incident is caused by myself, what does it have to do with Brother Pang Xuan?" If you want to blame, you can only blame myself......"

Crane Guanzi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Speaking of which...... Xiaoyou is really bold, there have always been royal disputes, outsiders can avoid them, but Xiaoyou took the initiative to step forward......"

Hearing the ridicule of the Crane Guanzi, Meng Zhong was also a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but explain: "I just saw that Zhao's master's father, Zhao Junshang and An Yangjun were full of contradictions, lest they be used by some people, causing Zhao to cause civil strife and miss the opportunity to change the law and try to become stronger, so I made this reckless act, hoping that Zhao Guo can avoid a turmoil ......"

Hearing this, Que Guanzi nodded, half praised and half reminded: "Xiaoyou's pure heart is really commendable, but my Taoist disciple, I need to remember the truth of 'going with the flow', what is destined to happen is beyond human resistance." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Meng Zhong faintly heard a little clue from Crane Guanzi's words, frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask: "Crane Guanzi, are you referring to the contradiction between Master Zhao, Zhao Junshang and An Yangjun?" ”

There is one thing that Meng Zhong knows very well, that is, Que Guanzi has more trust than him, and Master Zhao will also tell Que Guanzi the secret of the inconvenience to him, and seek Crane Guanzi's advice.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Que Guanzi is the guest think tank of Master Zhao's father.

"Hehehe." After listening to Meng Zhong's inquiry, Que Guanzi smiled and said, "Can you know the original meaning of 'Dao'? Lao Tzu once said, "Hold the elephant, the world goes." Go and don't hurt, An Pingtai." Therefore, the Tao is Tai. However, Zhao Guo is now out of the right path, and the sun and the moon are competing for glory, which is the root of the turmoil. …… Xiaoyou knew that he couldn't do it, but he fell behind. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hearing Que Guanzi's words, Meng Zhong couldn't help frowning.

I have to say that Gu Guanzi's words are extremely obscure, even if Meng Zhong is a Taoist disciple, he doesn't understand anything.

But even if he didn't understand everything, he could faintly understand a few clues.

That is, what he tried his best to stop, the battle between Zhao Wang He and Gongzi Zhang, and Zhao Master Father actually didn't want to stop it.

Set a small goal first, such as 1 second to remember: Book Keju mobile version reading website:
