Influenced by Su Dai's suggestion to recruit talents, the new Yan Wang Ji visited Jidu all over the city to seek sage hermits, and was finally favored by Guo Kui. Guo Kui told Ji Zhi the allusion of "Qianjin City Bone", and Ji Zhi was deeply inspired to establish a recruitment platform in the southwest of Jidu. Zhaoxian platform is about ten zhang high, more than 40 acres, there are more than 20 pavilions and palaces above, flowers and plants are rare and precious, and there are many multiplications.

Ji Zhi specially chose a good day and an auspicious day, and worshiped Guo Kui as a teacher on the recruitment platform, not only did he salute in person, but even the hundred officials had to bow to Guo Kui, and the momentum was huge, attracting people's attention.

The name of Ji Zhi was thirsty for talent, and soon spread among the vassal states, and many talented and virtuous generals who were eager to make contributions came to Ji Du to serve Ji Zhi. Although Ji Zhi is happy, he also regrets that there is no talent like Le Yi among them, and regrets that he can only sigh when he is fatal, if it is a few years earlier, I am afraid that this person may not be in his pocket.

Ji Zhi's side is impressive, the monarch and the minister are single-minded, and the prince is more dull here. Since he came to Linle, the Qi army has no respect for him, and Yan Guo's own soldiers are also disobedient to him, if it weren't for Kuang Zhang's constant politeness to him, it is estimated that he would have been ready to surrender to Ji Zhi by now. The two maintain the most basic relationship.

But all this was soon disrupted by an accident.

In the quiet of the night, the wind is even colder. At the head of the city of Linle, groups of troops patrolled back and forth at the head of the city. Kuang Zhang's management of the army is very strict, and if he is not careful, he may violate military law. And under Kuang Zhang's rule, no matter who he is, as long as he violates the military law, what awaits him is a whip. What's more, it is Kuang Zhang himself who is patrolling the city now, but tonight, the general seems to be preoccupied.

Kuang Zhang does have some worries, but this concern is not enough for outsiders.

"I didn't expect to meet the general so late."

Kuang Zhang looked up and responded slightly: "I didn't expect the prince to have this Yaxing, come out in the middle of the night and inspect the city defense." ”

Ji Ping smiled slightly, walked up to Kuang Zhang, and gave a salute, "It's not because of this Yaxing, but because of the trivial things in my heart, people can't sleep?" ”

"What the prince said should be that the prince will inherit the throne of King Yan in Jidu, and order the people of Yandi to go to King Qin in Jidu, reorganize the army and war, and recruit talents, in order to do the business of my army and the prince."

Ji Ping's face was gloomy, and he said with a sneer: "The general naturally knows what he thinks in his heart. As he spoke, his face changed, "At the beginning, Gu Ruo was ruthless and hanged himself, instead of listening to the general's words and falling to Linle, whether it was the people of Qi or Yan, they all disobeyed Gu Yang. Since then, he has been panicked like a lost dog. Hmph, presumably, that's what the general wants. ”

"Childe is too careful." Kuang Zhang walked to the city wall, watched the Yishui River flow slowly under the city wall, seemed to be to Ji Ping, and seemed to be to the river, and said lightly: "Gongzi is too careful, whether it is Qi Guo or Zaixia, there is no intention to blackmail Gongzi, nor does he make any unfavorable moves to Yan Guo, what Qi Guo did is indeed for Yan Guo." ”

Ji Ping walked up to Kuang Zhang angrily, and said hatefully: "Could it be that the invasion of Yan Kingdom is also for the sake of loneliness?" The general said this, but it was really shameless! ”

Kuang Zhang didn't even look at him, and said to himself: "The plot of the Qi State for the Yan State is nothing more than the hope that its northern Xinjiang will have a better neighbor, neither the Zhao State and the Wei State that are eyeing him, nor the scabies of Zhongshan, Song, and Wei, but the brotherly state that can really advance and retreat together with the Qi State." ”

Kuang Zhang paused and continued, "But the people of the Yan Kingdom seem to have a lot of misunderstandings about the Qi State, so much so that they openly confronted the Qi State, and it was the King of Qi who hoped to calm the resentment of the Yan people, but he didn't expect that the situation would develop like this. ”

"What the general said is really strong." Ji Ping roared loudly: "If it is only for this reason, Qi Guo's actions may not be too shameless. Back then, the Son of Heaven was divided, and the Yan State and the Qi State each had their own land, but now the Qi State wants to take the Yan State as its own, isn't it afraid of Zhou Tianzi's punishment? ”

Kuang Zhang looked at Ji Ping, who was out of shape, still as calm as before. "Could it be that the prince still has Zhou Tianzi in his heart?"

When Ji Ping heard this, he felt out of shape. Indeed, if Yan Guo really took Zhou Tianzi in his eyes, how could he listen to Gongsun Yan's advice among the five kings and arrogate to the throne? In the final analysis, Zhou Tianzi is just a fig leaf in everyone's eyes, no one will put it in their eyes, but whoever uses it will take it out and use it.

"Childe must understand that the matter of Qi Yan now is just the law of the jungle. If the Qi State can't take advantage of the Yan State to strike first, and the Yan State is strong, will it let the Qi State go? Kuang Zhang shook his head, "I'm afraid not." Qi Guo just took the lead first, how can it be shameless. ”

"Even if it's really shameless, with the current situation of Yan Kingdom, what can you do with Qi Kingdom?"

"You!" Ji Ping pointed at Kuang Zhang angrily. He really didn't expect that Kuang Zhang would say such a thing, how did he understand that when he was in Jidu, Kuang Zhang had already realized that Ji Ping was just a cowardly person, and this was exactly what Qi Guo needed. They can promise Ji Ping the position of King of Yan, but they may not treat him as a courtier of the Qi State, to put it bluntly, he is just a chess piece.

"Why should Childe be angry?" Kuang Zhang persuaded: "Even in Linle, as long as the prince listens to the words of Qi with peace of mind, the king of Qi will naturally not be dissatisfied with the prince, and maybe, he will promise the prince to inherit the throne of King Yan." ”

"Hehe, the general is really joking." Ji Ping sneered, "There is only one Mingtang in the Yan Kingdom, and there can only be one king. Now the king is in Jidu, ready to drive us away, but the general is here to talk to Gu about the establishment of the king of Yan. Hehe, can there still be two Yan countries in this world? ”

"Why can't there be two Yan Kingdoms?" Kuang Zhang said, "Could it be that Gongzi has forgotten the Nanyan Kingdom back then?" ”

After Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the descendant of Jiguang Yao Bolu, established the Yan State in the Shang Dynasty, its land was near Junshui, and later the Zhou Dynasty divided the world, and Zhao Gongzao was divided by Zhou Tianzi to establish the Yun State, which was later changed to the Yan State, and its land was near Jidu. In order to distinguish these two countries, later generations called them the Southern Yan Kingdom and the Northern Yan Kingdom respectively. The surname of Beiyan Guoji, the surname of Nanyan Guoyao. Unlike the Northern Yan Kingdom, the Southern Yan Kingdom was established in the late Shang Dynasty, but it perished during the Luding Dynasty, that is, the Spring and Autumn Period. After that, the Yan Kingdom only referred to the Northern Yan Kingdom.

"It turns out that this is the plan of King Qi." Ji Ping suddenly realized, "It turns out that the Qi State is to watch the Yan State split into two vassal states, so as to prevent Ji Zhi and them from going south, and the Qi State cannot immediately organize resistance." ”

"In any case, the interests of the Qi State are the most important, and the interests of the Yan State have been wiped out since the Zizhi Rebellion." Kuang Zhang was noncommittal.

Kuang Zhang didn't hear Ji Ping's answer, turned around, and saw that the other party was still in a state of surprise, so he could only paced to his side, "So, Childe should continue to cooperate with Qi Guo, only in this way can your wish be realized, isn't it?" ”

After that, Kuang Zhang ignored him and walked straight towards the stairs.

"By the way, there is still one thing, I forgot to inform my son." Kuang Zhang stood at the top of the stairs, "I just received an order from the king, ordering Zai to return to Qi for the time being, and he will leave in the near future." When the time comes, I will ask the prince to help a lot. With that, he walked slowly and disappeared into the moonlight.

The battle between Qin and Chu, as soon as it opened, was different, and this difference did not come from the strength of the two sides, but from the momentum of the two sides.

On the one hand, the whole army assembled to Yongshi City through military forces to prepare to fight against the army of Chu, on the other hand, it asked for help from Qin and Wei, and also sent envoys to Zhao for help, and Zhao State refused to euphemistically refuse Korea on the grounds that he was busy with the Zhongshan War.

In fact, although Zhao had already ended the Lingshou War at that time and also divided it into Zhongshan County of Zhao, there were still many Zhongshan lands on the north bank of the Hutuo River that had not yet been in the hands of Zhao, and Zhao's army was still doing the work of clearing it.

The action of the state of Chu in Yongshi City was in the arms of the Qin State, and the king of Qin ordered the Han Lijian to send out the letter to Guguan, and galloped across the three rivers to aid the Yongshi City, and the Wei State also Chen soldiers went south, and they were fierce soldiers and horses on the border of the Chu State, and they could enter the border of the Chu State at any time. For a time, except for Zhao and Yan, they seemed to be enemies of Chu.

Tian Biqi was in Linzi, although he was far away from Qin Chu's main battlefield, but he vaguely sniffed out the difference. In fact, he very much hoped that through the hegemony between Qin and Chu, everyone would divert everyone's attention from Qi and ease the pressure on Qi State.

However, two people objected.

Tian Bibi looked at the three people who were kneeling and sat down, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while. I can only say to Kuang Zhang first: "The general is from Yandi, and I want to ask about Yandi, how is it now." ”

"Yandi now seems to be a tug-of-war between Ji Zhi and my Qi State, but in fact, it is Ji Zhi who has the upper hand. Not to mention anything else, just Linle and other places occupied by our Qi country are already in chaos, and the resistance of the people of Yan country has exceeded the expectations below. ”

Tian Bibi also scratched his head very much, he didn't expect that just killing a son would give birth to so many chaos. Before, the people of Yan Kingdom ate pot pulp, and he thought that the people of Yan Land had been thinking about the Qi Army for many years. Unexpectedly, it was an illusion.

"The matter itself is not so corrupt, it is only because of the death of Yan Wang Ji that the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. Coupled with the fact that the son Ji Zhi supported by Zhao Guo led the troops into Yan, this made us so passive. After Su Qin finished speaking, he glanced at Kuang Zhang, a little embarrassed, after all, this matter was Kuang Zhang's pain point. However, Kuang Zhang was very open-minded and didn't mean to blame him.

"The old minister has objections."

I've drunk broken pieces for two days in a row, and there are two more today and tomorrow, so I'll make up for it today, I'm sorry for everyone.
