Handan.

Since becoming the upstart of Zhao State, Pang Cong was originally going to move his family out of Sweet Water Lane, but it happened that several nearby households went to northern Xinjiang to reclaim wasteland in accordance with national policies, and sold the land here to his family. He himself was reluctant to leave Sweetwater Lane, so Pang Cong took it all over, expanded the original cramped courtyard, made some courtyards, and opened up a school field.

In fact, in recent years, with the gradual expansion of Handan City, the boundary between the so-called rich and poor areas has been blurred. Non-Handan people such as Pang Cong and Lian Wu generally choose small places like Sweet Water Lane to settle down. At the same time, the surrounding business activities are gradually becoming lively.

Pang Cong's status in Zhao State now can be regarded as the first person in the military, but there is still a difference from before the restructuring. Previously, Pang Cong was on an equal footing with Siqing, and also participated in the operation of the White Tiger Palace. After the restructuring, except for Wu Guang, the military side no longer participated in the operation of government affairs in the White Tiger Palace. However, there are also rumors that the reform on the military side is being planned, but now the military is still frequent, and it is more troublesome to move.

In the backyard of Pang Cong's house, Pang Xuan's horse passed between the grass men, the war knife flew, and the head of the grass man flew in response. Galloping to the last straw man, he quickly grabbed his bow and arrow from his horse and shot it at the farthest target. But unfortunately, the bow and arrow missed. Pang Xuan panted and looked at the result, gritted his teeth, and repeated it again. And so it was, over and over again.

Pang Cong stood in the distance, looking at Pang Xuan's desperate appearance, he squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Husband."

"Huh?" Pang Onion turned around, "Madame is here"

The other party nodded, stood with Pang Cong, looked at Pang Xuan for a while, and couldn't help but say, "Xuan'er seems to have something on his mind." Even the king's wedding was never there. Could it be ......" She raised her head and looked at Pang Cong, as if asking, but also as if affirming.

"At his age, it's time to find a family business. It can't always be his temperament. Not all women are suitable for him. Pang Cong said intentionally or unintentionally.

Madame nodded, she could only sigh in her heart, feeling pity for Pang Xuan, and at the same time began to worry about his marriage. As the biological mother, he naturally knew who Pang Xuan's heart was, but now the two could no longer be together. Pang Xuan has a bright future, and it is not difficult to find a good marriage, but the difficult thing is that the other party may not be a good match in his heart.

"That's all there is to it." Madame bowed her head and sighed.

"In a few days, Xuan'er will go to Yanguo, so don't let him worry about these things for the time being. When he comes back from Yan Kingdom, it will be good to discuss again. ”

Madame hummed and whispered again, "Can you not let Yan'er go?" ”

Pang Cong shook his head, "The king intends to train some young men this time, one is for the national prince, and the other is that the face is unfamiliar, and there are some things that need to be done by them." Lezi's family and son, Lecheng, the younger son of Sikou, and the second son of Sikong's family are also going to go. You see, even Yu Xin, the old gentleman's closed disciple, heard about this and asked for an envoy. Not to mention the simmer. Besides, this time it was Xuan'er's own order to ask the king, so naturally he couldn't shirk it. ”

"That's all there is to it." Madame whispered.

After looking at it for a while, Pang Cong didn't seem to intend to ask, "In a few days, so-and-so will leave Handan." At the latest, I won't be able to come back until this time next year. The matter of the family can only trouble the lady. ”

"Husband is going to go on the expedition again?"

"Alas, Zhongshan has always been a thorn in the king's heart." Pang Cong said.

As Pang Cong said, among the more than 10,000 troops of the Zhao State to help Gongzi restore the country, there are indeed many sons of powerful people, not only the second sons of clan generals, but also the children of other officials in office. According to the system promulgated by the Zhao State before, generals below the rank of lieutenant are not allowed to be hereditary, although the sons of the generals can inherit the inheritance, but without the title, they are naturally not as good as before, and many generals can only encourage their children to become soldiers and earn their own titles. Although the generals of the clan can be hereditary, they are the sons and eldest sons, and the others still don't get much. Zhao Yong ordered the development of northern Xinjiang before, and many concubines moved to northern Xinjiang from their own sect, which also accelerated the development of northern Xinjiang, but there were also some children of the clan who chose to follow Rong.

As for the civil servants, although there is no rule that the title is not hereditary, what is the place of the White Tiger Palace? That is the administrative center of Zhao State, and it can be said that if there is any trouble, it must be the first to know. This time, Feiyi's youngest son and Zhao Cheng's second son also participated in this expedition, and they all started as soldiers, at least releasing a signal: those who have not come may not have them in the future.

Pang Cong rode on a horse, he had a knighthood, and he was also from the Baijin Battalion, so this time he went on an expedition, and he was responsible for managing the soldiers as a three-soldier purpose, which was the first step for him to embark on his career. But this step is not so open for him.

"What's wrong? Out of sorts? The drama next to him touched his shoulder. He had made great achievements in the first battle of Wencheng before, and this time he happened to be among the expeditions. Like Pang Xuan, they are all three soldiers.

"Nothing." Pang Xuan hurriedly held his palm and shook his head.

"It's a pity that I didn't follow General Pang this time, otherwise I might be able to earn some credit this time." Ju Xin pouted, and it seemed that he didn't have much confidence in the orchestra pit as the right lieutenant.

"Captain Le is a member of Mr. Le's clan, and he is also familiar with the art of war, although he dare not say that he is better than Mr. Le, but he and my father should be in the middle of the match. That's what my father said. ”

"I hope so." Ju Xin pursed his lips, it seemed that he still didn't believe it. However, Zhao Yong assigned Le Chi, the former Zhongshan Xiangguo, to serve as the leading general of this time, which was a big surprise to everyone, and many people felt that Le Chi had not been attached to Zhao Guo for a long time, and this trip also passed through Zhongshan, which seemed quite inappropriate. Zhao Yongli ignored public opinion and still insisted on this decision.

Pang Xuan saw that Xi Xin was busy with other things, and spread out his palm again, and a small jade bi appeared in his hand. He had not forgotten that the little lady who had greeted her father at the city gate had gone in such a hurry that the jade pendant he had with him was lost, and when he picked it up, he could no longer find him; And when he was sure that it was Meng Yao, he had met a few times, and his longing was naturally indescribable, and he had secretly promised in his heart that he would come to propose marriage after making meritorious contributions; Until that day, the carriage from the royal city separated her from herself forever.

Pang Xuan doesn't know who to blame, is Zhao Yong to blame? That's his own king, if it weren't for him, Pang Cong's family would still be living a life of being ridiculed and displaced, not to mention, it was he who had never mentioned his marriage, and Zhao Yong couldn't be regarded as snatching love from him if he did this; Is she to blame? It seems that it is no wonder that although Meng Yao has met with him a few times, his mind may not be on himself, and he has never said anything about love, nor can he talk about empathy. It seems that it is my own fault to say this. If you had proposed early, I am afraid that this kind of thing would not have happened.

That's it, so be it. Since I have no chance with you in this life, let this jade pendant accompany me for the rest of my life. From now on, see you at the end of the world.

Childe Ji Zhi rode on his horse and looked at the very old general beside him. He knew that Le Chi was originally from Zhongshan and later came to Zhao State. Now it has only been a year, and he has been appointed as the general of this army, although there is a Zhao Guozi Zhao Qi with the team, but the command of this army is still in the hands of the orchestra. His dream of recovering the country is also in his hands.

Ji Zhi knew very well that Zhao Guo was using himself to deal with Qi Guo, and he also knew that this move was very dangerous. But the game of thrones is like this, either you die, or I die, for Ji Hao and Ji Ping, he can't talk about respect and miss, after all, being hostage in a country is itself adrift, if Ji Hao is not so ruthless, why would he choose him? Maybe it's because he's a son-in-law, he's the son of Queen Yan. Ji Ping is the eldest son, and he is the son-in-law. When Ji Hao chose to be a hostage, he had already explained that he had abandoned Ji Zhi, since this was the case, why should he miss it?

Now that the Yan Kingdom is in turmoil, Ji Zhi would rather be used than take this risk, maybe he will succeed?

"Childe, it's time to pull it out." Orchestra Pit walked up to him and reminded.

"Well, there's General Law." Gongzi said respectfully. This son respects himself very much, not only that, but also for the soldiers of Zhao State who traveled this time. Let everyone think he is very wise.

"Childe is serious." Le Chi said, and began to direct the troops to gradually leave the school field and advance towards the Yan Kingdom. When he walked to the city gate, he glanced back at the tall city gate of Zhao State, and secretly said in his heart: "Next time I come to Handan, it will definitely be in the identity of King Yan!" And Pang Xuan and Ji Xin, one subconsciously patted his chest, there was a hard object there; Another joy is that for him, tomorrow will be the moment when his drama will go down in history.

Hanyuan Hall.

"Returning to the king, the prince of Yan State, under the leadership of my general Le Chi, with more than 13,000 soldiers of Zhao State, have marched down."

"Hmm." Zhao Yong nodded, "I hope they have a smooth trip." ”

"According to the previous agreement with Gongzi, my army can be responsible for the surplus grain and grass in the previous month, about 200,000 stones, and now most of it has been delivered, and after the remaining half is delivered, they will be responsible for themselves." Zhao Bao said, "Maybe Gongzi thinks that this battle for restoration will definitely go very smoothly." ”

"It should go well." Wei Yu said, "It's just that this success is that the Qi country is in the midst of public resentment, as long as the prince does not make a stupid move, he will definitely be able to recover Yandi." I'm afraid one year will be enough. ”

"That's why the widow can't let him end this matter so quickly." Zhao Yong put down his pen and raised his head to the crowd, "In this war, the widow hopes to fight for two years, preferably three years." ”

"This..."Wu Guang hesitated, "It's impossible." ”

"Hehe, Wu Sima, nothing is impossible. Although Qi Guo is in the midst of public resentment, but the strength is there, it will be good if the orchestra and the city can work together, but the personalities of the two are diametrically opposed, I am afraid that this is to go, the prince is to coordinate the affairs of the two, and it will take some time. Not to mention settling down to finance the restoration of the country. ”

"The orchestra pit is cautious and likes to take it one step at a time. The city is acted to the extreme and prone to risk-taking. The widow once instructed Lechi to be sure to drag the Yan Kingdom into the quagmire of the intersection of the two countries. Zhao Yong said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the widow really doesn't care who is the king of Yan?" As long as the Yan State can continue to be chaotic and drag both the Qi State and the Yan State into the quagmire of war, they will not be able to get out for a while, and the widow will have time to destroy Zhongshan while preparing to knock and knock the old neighbor of Wei. After all, a Wei State is not comparable to a Zhongshan. You should also shift your focus appropriately. ”

"Whoa!"
