That night, Meng Zhong returned to the post house in the city, and thought about it for half the night with his hands on his head.

King Zhao guessed correctly, Meng Zhong was indeed still haunted by the death of Master Zhao's father.

Even, there were many nights, Meng Zhong fantasized about when he would see King Zhao in the future, and when the time came, he would pull Zhao Wang He's shirt to vent the indignation in his heart: Have you, who forced Lord Zhao's father to death, become the virtuous monarch that your mother Wu Wa hoped for as you originally thought?

Yes, he wanted to use the fact that Zhao Wang He had been a puppet monarch in the hands of Anpingjun Zhao Cheng and Fengyang Jun Li Dui for several years to satirize Zhao Wang He.

But to his surprise, or rather, even Lord Zhao's father looked away, the seemingly cowardly Zhao Wang He is indeed much better than his son Zhao Zhang, and his political skills and scheming are not comparable to the impulsive and irascible Zhao Zhang.

Perhaps, Zhao State lacks such a monarch.

Of course, although he recognized Zhao Wanghe's talent in this area, Zhao Wanghe forced Zhao's father to death by Zhao Cheng and Li Dui, and Meng Zhong still can't let go of it.

But then again, although he can't let go, he can't do anything to Zhao Wanghe, after all, Zhao Wanghe is the biological son of Zhao's father, and he is a monarch who seems to be quite talented at the moment, can he still kill Zhao Wanghe to avenge Zhao's father?

Come to think of it, this account can only be settled by the years.

The next morning, while Meng Zhong was still asleep, a guard gently pushed the door open.

Meng Zhong opened one eye vigilantly, and asked casually with a little sleepiness, "What's the matter?" ”

The guard was about to open his mouth and wake up Meng Zhong in a low voice, when Leng Buding heard this, he was slightly startled, and then explained with a little embarrassment: "Yunchengjun, Tian Xiang is here, he is waiting in the hall, and he has urged me to wait to wake you up." ”

"Tian Xiang...... Oh, Tian Wen.'"

Meng Zhong, who was stunned for a breath, reacted, sat up from the bed with a yawn, and asked casually, "What time is it?" ”

"Two quarters a quarter." The guard replied.

Meng Zhong was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

He remembered that Tian Wen was invited to his mansion by Li Dui and Li Ji and his son last night, and if nothing else, he must have had a detailed conversation with Li Dui and his son about Emperor Qin and Qi, and this morning he came to the post house to ask him about the results of Zhao Wanghe, and it must be said that although Tian Wen was arrogant and narrow-minded, he was indeed worthy of the respect that King Wei held him.

"Invite him in."

Meng Zhong nodded, and then asked, "Wait, Ah Hu...... Are you back? ”

"Never." The guard shook his head.

Hearing this, Meng Zhong scolded secretly, and then shook his head and washed himself.

And just as he was washing his face, he saw Tian Wen hurriedly walking to Meng Zhong's house with Feng Tan and two unknown swordsmen, and without waiting for Meng Zhong to wipe his face with a wet cloth, he asked eagerly, "How is it?" What are King Zhao's plans? ”

On that matter, King Zhao agreed, saying that he would give his full support to the sabotage...... Relations between the two countries. With that, Meng Zhong threw the wet cloth in his hand into the wooden basin.

Hearing Meng Zhong's words, Tian Wen nodded with satisfaction, but then asked again: "That...... Is there anything about the union of the three jins? How did King Zhao react? ”

Meng Zhong shook his head: "I didn't agree." …… Although he said that he would consider thinking about it, I think the likelihood that he would agree is very low. ”

At this time, Feng Tan had already ordered the two swordsmen to go outside the house and guard the room with Meng Zhong's guards, and immediately, he reflexively closed the door and said casually: "On the side of Xue Gong, Fengyang Jun also refused, saying that he didn't want to offend the Qi State...... Therefore, Xue Gong wanted to ask Yun Chengjun to think of a way, whether he could convince King Zhao...... Nowadays, the national politics of Zhao are no longer controlled by Fengyang Jun, and the attitude of King Zhao is very important. ”

"I'm afraid it's hard." Meng Zhong shook his head.

Hearing this, Tian Wen frowned, only to sit down next to the desk in the room, reached out and poured a bowl of water for himself, and asked Meng Zhong after taking a sip: "You said it was difficult?" In other words, it is not impossible for Zhao Guo to agree? …… Did Zhao Guo put forward any conditions? ”

In fact, Meng Zhong could vaguely feel it, not to mention that yesterday Fei You directly asked him if he was willing to return to Zhao Kingdom, but how could he be embarrassed to say this kind of thing to Tian Wen?

Could he still say to Tian Wen that Zhao Guo's condition is that I am Meng Zhong? As long as Wei is willing to let me go back to Zhao, Zhao is willing to conclude the Three Jin Alliance with Wei?

He was too embarrassed to say that.

What's more, he didn't want to stay in Zhao State, at least not yet.

"I don't know." Meng Zhong shook his head slightly.

“……”

Tian Wen glanced at Meng Zhong with some suspicion, he felt that Meng Zhong should have something to hide.

But Meng Zhong refused to reveal it, and he couldn't do anything about it, of course, the main thing was that he still believed in Meng Zhong's character to some extent, so as not to hide secrets that would be dangerous to his Wei State.

I think what Meng Zhong is hiding is mostly Zhao Wanghe's private words with him.

After thinking about it, Tian Wen said to Meng Zhong: "When I go to meet King Zhao again and lobby, I can do the best, but I can't do it...... That's all there is to it for the time being. ”

Meng Zhong nodded: "That...... Just take a stroll around the city? ”

"Hmm."

Bidding farewell to Meng Zhong and leaving the post house, Tian Wen took Feng Tan and the two accompanying knights and rode straight to the palace in a carriage.

When he arrived at the palace, it was already around the middle of the day, and when Zhao Wang He learned that he had come to meet him in person, he ordered Fei You to invite him to the palace.

After seeing Zhao Wang He, Tian Wen first greeted him for a while, and then even re-mentioned the Three Jin Alliance, during which he hinted to Zhao Wang He many times: If you Zhao Guo have any conditions that can be proposed, everything can be discussed.

In fact, after understanding Tian Wen's hint, in fact, Zhao Wang He was also quite moved, and he couldn't wait to say to Tian Wen immediately: You Wei State will return Meng Zhong, and I can consider the alliance of the three alliances.

But in the end, Zhao Wang He still restrained himself, not that he didn't want Meng Zhong to return to Zhao State, the key was that he knew that this matter was difficult.

First of all, Meng Zhong himself would not agree, from Meng Zhong's attitude before he left last night, it can be proved that he still has a strong hatred for him Zhao He, how can he return to Zhao State to serve him?

Not to mention that Meng Zhong has faintly become the new famous general of the Wei State, how could Wei Wangjun give him such a general who is good at leading troops to fight in the Zhao State?

All in all, Tian Wen hinted several times before and after, Zhao Wang He never said what was in his heart, but the fat young couldn't stand Zhao Wanghe's hesitation and hesitation, and said directly when bidding farewell to Tian Wen: "As long as you Wei Guo are willing to persuade Meng Zhong to return to my Zhao State, my Zhao State will be willing to conclude the Three Jin Alliance with Wei Han." ”

This sentence completely extinguished Tian Wen's plan to win over Zhao Guo to conclude the Three Jin Alliance.

Although he could understand Fei You's request, after all, Meng Zhong was in Zhao Guo at the beginning, but he couldn't agree to it anyway.

Who is Meng Zhong? The newly promoted famous general of Wei who defeated Qin twice, even if he Tian Wen is still a little hostile to Meng Zhong, he must also admit that with Meng Zhong in Wei, Qin will be afraid of him Wei State, and this jealousy is no less than Qin's fear of Wei after Wei and Zhao concluded an alliance.

How stupid does he Tian Wen have to be to use Meng Zhong in exchange for an alliance with Zhao State?

"No wonder Yun Chengjun's expression is different, I'm afraid that King Zhao and that fat young man hinted at Yun Chengjun last night, but most of them were rejected by Yun Chengjun......

After waiting for the fat young to say goodbye and leave, Feng Tan suddenly said.

Hearing this, Tian Wen said lightly: "That's natural, Meng Zhong needs to use the strength of my Wei State to protect the Song State, and the Zhao State is close to the Qi State, and may not be willing to turn against the Song State and the Qi State for the sake of the Song State, Meng Zhong chose to stay in the Wei State is a knowing choice, but it is just ......"

On the side, Feng Tan filled in with emotion what Tian Wen had not finished speaking: "It's just that from the current point of view, if you want to win over Zhao Guo to conclude the alliance of the Three Jins, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve." ”

"Hmm......"

Tian Wen frowned and nodded slightly, and then said indifferently: "Don't worry." …… After the news of the alliance between Qin and Qi reaches Zhao, Zhao will inevitably cooperate with our Wei State to destroy the diplomatic relations between Qin and Qi, and then find a way to win over Zhao, as for now...... Spend a day or two befriending the courtiers of Zhao State, and then go back to Daliang first. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to Feng Tan and said, "Feng Chen, you go back to Yecheng first, inform Zhai Zhang of the news, and ask Zhai Zhang to send someone to inform Daliang immediately." Although it is difficult to win over Zhao to conclude the alliance of the Three Jins, it is difficult to achieve it in the ...... In that matter, King Zhao and Li Dui were both willing to stand on the side of our Wei State, so that the king could rest assured. ”

"Whoa!" Feng Tan hugged his fists.

In this way, Feng Tan took the lead in returning to Yecheng, while Tian Wen returned to the mansion of Li Dui, the king of Fengyang, and took advantage of Li Dui's relationship in Zhao to banquet many Zhao courtiers and take the opportunity to make friends.

As for Meng Zhong, he visited acquaintances more, such as Zhao Ben, Zhao Xi, and Xu Jun.

It was not until three days later that Tian Wen and Meng Zhong returned to Wei.

On the day when the two left for China, Fengyang Jun Li Dui brought his son Li Ji and many Zhao ministers to see him off, and Fei You also came forward to send him off on behalf of Zhao Wang He.

During this period, Fei You said to Meng Zhong in private: "Meng Zhong, although my father used to be the minister of state of Zhao, I haven't read anything since I was a child, just a vulgar farmer who farms in the fields on weekdays, so I said it directly...... The King of Wei's trust in you is far less than the king's hope for you, if you are willing to return to Zhao, it will be an excellent thing for both Zhao and Jun...... Back then, the master father carefully cultivated you, and it wasn't for you to serve the Wei State, did he? ”

Meng Zhong smiled and interrupted, "Didn't King Zhao appoint you as a palace uncle?" What kind of coarse farmer are you? ”

However, Fei You ignored Meng Zhong's interruption, and Zhengse said, "Don't interrupt." …… Jun Shang was embarrassed to speak, I told him for him, he really wants you to come back to help him. ”

Meng Zhong was silent for a moment, and politely refused: "I'll think about it......"

Hearing this, Fei You also sighed in disappointment, but he didn't force Meng Zhong, but nodded and said, "Okay, then you can think about it, I hope you ...... one day"

He patted Meng Zhong's arm and nodded.

Bidding farewell to the fat and young and bidding farewell to Zhao Guo, Meng Zhong took Meng Hu and followed Tian Wen and his party to prepare to return to Yecheng.

The relationship between Tian Wen and Zhai Zhang was not very good, and he was in a hurry to return to Daliang, so he did not stay in Yecheng, while Meng Zhong and Meng Hu were invited by Zhai Zhang and Tang Zhi to live in Yecheng that day.

In the banquet set up by Zhai Zhang for Meng Zhong and Meng Hu, Meng Zhong also reported to Zhai Zhang separately about Zhao Guo's reaction to the Qin and Qi Emperors, which made Zhai Zhang really relieved.

Immediately, Meng Zhong chatted with Tang Zhi about Bai Qi.

Speaking of Bai Qi, Meng Zhong went to Zhao Guo this time and did not see Bai Qi, because when Zhai Zhang showed favor to Zhao Guo, Bai Qi had already realized that something was wrong.

Although Bai Qi didn't understand at that time, it was clear that he Qin and Wei had a tacit understanding that they wanted to force Zhao to depose Fengyang Jun Li Dui's phase, why did Wei suddenly change his attitude?

But no matter what, Bai Qi still realized the crisis from Zhai Zhang's abnormal attitude at that time, and he couldn't care about persecuting Zhao State anymore, so he retreated from Zhao State with his army overnight and retreated to Hanoi County of Wei State.

Considering that the Wei generals such as Gongsun Zhu, Wei Qing, and Dou Xing of Hedong County all had enmity with Bai Qi, not only would they not allow Bai Qi and his troops to borrow from Hedong, but it was even very likely that they would send the Hedong Wei army to raid Bai Qi, and Bai Qi should have chosen to return to Qin from Korea through Korea.

Regarding this matter, Tang Zhi said with emotion: "You shouldn't let go of Bai Qi, when attacking Zhao State, I cooperated with Bai Qi, this person is indeed not under you, this person's return to Qin State is tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain......"

Meng Zhong smiled and said, "Is there any way?" When Wei and Qin joined forces to prevent Qi from annexing Song, the king of Wei was embarrassed to turn his face...... Of course, the main thing is to fear that the Qin State will retaliate against this, if the King of Qin is like the King of Chu Huai, the Wei State will not be able to afford it......"

Indeed, King Chu Huai's attack on Qin back then made everyone in the world understand what it means to be a soldier of the country, that time, even the Qin State was almost beaten down by the Chu State, if it weren't for Wei Zhang and Yingji's efforts to turn the tide, maybe it was not the Qin State that threatened the Central Plains now, but the Chu State.

And Bai Qi, as the most important general of the Qin State at present, if the Wei State tears up the current armistice agreement this time and rashly attacks Bai Qi, then it will inevitably suffer from the crazy revenge of the Qin State In this matter of retaliation, the Qin State is no less than the Chu State.

No, King Chu Huai, who later failed to take revenge on the Qin State, tasted the taste of being retaliated by the Qin State.

Don't look at the fact that Wei has improved in the past two years in the fight against Qin, but he doesn't want to be retaliated by Qin with all his national strength, even if he survives, what can he do? In the end, it is inevitable to be carved up by other countries.

There is no need to put the country in such a situation for the sake of a white start.

If the Qin State came to attack, it would try to pull Han, Zhao, Song and other countries together to fight against the Qin State; If the Qin State does not come to attack, then don't provoke it.

This may be the attitude of Wei Wangyun towards the Qin State now.

To put it bluntly, there is still a lack of confidence.

After staying in Yecheng for seven or eight days, Meng Zhong returned to Daliang with Menghu and two hundred cavalry cavalry, and when he arrived at Daliang, it was already the end of September.

And in the past few days, in the eastern part of the Central Plains, after a long discussion with the ministers, the king of Qi finally accepted the proposal of "Qin and Qi Mutual Emperor" put forward by Wei Ran, the minister of Qin.

This news spread in just a few days, and it was transmitted to their own countries by the meticulous work of various countries.

For a time, Yan, Zhao, Song, Wei and other people were in danger.

The Song State immediately imposed martial law on the entire territory and expanded its army again, beware of the Qi State taking advantage of the power of the alliance with the Qin State to make a comeback and attack the Song State again.

After Song Guo, Zhao Guo also learned the news immediately.

To be honest, before this, Fengyang Jun Li Dui actually didn't think that the Qi State would form an alliance with the Qin State, after all, in recent decades, the Qi State was the leader of the alliance against the Qin State among the Central Plains countries, but he didn't expect that this time he was really expected by Tian Wen, Meng Zhong and others.

The next day, when Zhao Wang He convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures, Zhao general Han Xu said in response to the current situation: "If the two countries of Qin and Qi form an alliance, it will no longer be important for our Zhao State to join the country, in order to prevent Qin and Qi from sending troops to annex the countries at the same time and threatening our Zhao State, I think that we should unite Wei and Han and conclude an alliance of the Three Jin Dynasty to counter the threat from Qin Qi." ”

When King Zhao heard this, he thought so, and said to Fengyangjun Li Dui: "Li Xiang, this matter will be handed over to you, how about it?" ”

Li Dui's face was solemn.

Following Zhao, Wei also learned the news immediately.

In this regard, Wei Wangjun was both frightened and joyful.

To his horror, Qin and Qi had indeed concluded an alliance, which meant that Qin would attack him without any worries, and to his delight, he felt that this might be an opportunity to win over Zhao and reunite the Three Jins.

If Wei, Zhao, and Han Sanjin could unite, plus the Song state, Wei Wang Yun thought that this force would never be weaker than the Qin and Qi states.

Of course, this is also the case.

As a result, Wei Wangjun immediately asked Hedong County to raise its vigilance, and at the same time, Tian Wen, the minister of state, came forward and went to Zhao State in person to meet Zhao Wanghe.

At the beginning of October, Wei Wangjun personally went to Zhao to meet with Zhao Wanghe and negotiate with Zhao Wanghe.

Half a month later, Han Wangjiao also entered the Zhao court to meet and negotiate with Zhao Wanghe.

In the three countries of Wei, Zhao, and Han, the envoys moved around frequently, and the troop movements were also extremely frequent, so this news naturally could not avoid being detected by the spies of Qin and Qi and sent back to their own countries.

Putting aside how the Qin State reacted to this, when the reaction of the three kingdoms of Wei, Zhao and Han reached the Qi State, the Qi State was really a little panicked.

You must know that Wei, Zhao, and Han together are equivalent to a Jin State, plus the Song State, isn't this the core strength of the Jin State when it once dominated the Central Plains?

If the rest of the countries don't want Qin and Qi to form an alliance, then Qin and Qi don't want the Three Jin to reunite, let alone add a Song State, because the power of this four-nation alliance may not be able to stop even Qin and Qi.

What to do?

In the following days, the king of Qi immediately summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

During this period, Su Qin realized that the King of Qi had panicked, so he came forward to persuade the King of Qi at the right time.

Subsequently, there was an incident that stunned the countries of the Central Plains and even the people of the world: in December of the same year, less than two months after the mutual emperors of Qin and Qi in October, the king of Qi abolished the emperor title on his own, and used this as an excuse to call on all the countries of the Central Plains to jointly crusade against Qin.

I have to say that Qi Guo's hand really stunned the world, and almost no one could understand what Qi Guo was thinking.
