Chapter Forty-Six: The Gentleman on the Beam
On the empty hall, Wen Ji was wearing a single dress, looking at Zhao Yong, who was frowning and thinking nervously, trying to recall the scene that night in Lingshou Wangcheng, the capital of Zhongshan Kingdom.
"A few days ago, Xiangbang once said that if the persecution of Qi is more urgent, then I, Zhongshan, can promise Zhao to cede the house to Zhao and seek recognition from Yan and Zhao. However, today, after Zhang Deng returned, he lobbied Xiangbang, and he came to tell the matter of admitting the land cut. From this point of view, even if the king is called, the house is lost. Due to the distance, Wen Ji couldn't see the speaker's appearance clearly, but it was vaguely a young man, and she couldn't hide a tone of contempt when she spoke.
"Hmm." An old man replied in a weak tone, and then said, "Then what do you think, what should be done?" ”
"Father, although I want to be the king of Zhongshan, but if it is called the matter of cutting the land, then from now on, my Zhongshan will definitely become the laughing stock of all countries, what is the point of being called the king like this?"
"Hmm." The old man replied again.
"Yes, if the child has a plan, he may be able to get the best of both worlds."
"Tell me about it."
"First of all, let Zhang Deng enter Qi again, saying that Yan Zhao will support Zhongshan to be king. Under the anger of Qi State, he may not tell Zhang Deng that he will use the strength of the whole country to attack Zhongshan. At this time, Zhang Deng could say that it was powerful, indicating that Yan Zhao might take advantage of the Qi State to attack the Qi State when it was attacking. ”
"In this way, wouldn't the Qi Kingdom even less agree to our claim to be the king?"
The young man smiled slightly and continued: "Don't worry, this is the first step. Second, Zhang Deng can show China's attitude, that is, if the Qi State recognizes Zhongshan's claim to be king, Zhongshan is willing to break off relations with Yan Zhao and obey the words of the Qi State in the future. ”
"Qi Guo doesn't seem to have a reason to listen? After all, they are heavily armed and can attack our country at any time. "Although the old man is weak, he is shrewd everywhere.
"No, Father. Although Qi is a big state, it has no desires and no desires, and it is cautious and suspicious in the use of soldiers. Otherwise, Gao Tang would not have fallen into the hands of Zhao for several years, and he had never sent troops to seize it. This time, our country is king, and King Qi Wei only sent heavy troops to hoard on the border, and he did not dare to move. It can be seen that the Qi State is also between the two sides for the attack, and if there is a third choice, they don't mind taking this road. The young man paused and continued, "What's more, the Qi Kingdom is just riding a tiger now, they took the lead in provoking the conflict, if it ends hastily, won't it ruin their reputation?" ”
The old man was silent, and Shaoqing said, "Go on." ”
The young man was a little happy to see that the old man did not object, so he continued: "If the Qi State agrees, Zhang Deng can transfer to the Yan State and the Zhao State, and push everything on the Qi State, just say that the Qi State wants to blackmail the Zhongshan Alliance, and if Yan Zhao does not recognize the fact that Zhongshan is king, then Zhongshan will definitely fall to the Qi State." At this time, I am afraid that it will be impossible for Yan and Zhao to not recognize Zhongshan's status. ”
It was so silent that the entire hall lost its voice, and even the sound of the candle flame could not be heard clearly. Wen Ji can even feel that the two below, every decision may add another cup of chaos to this troubled world.
"If that's the case, I'm afraid Zhongshan will completely lose the ally of Qi State?" The old man has insight, and although he is old, his thinking is not chaotic at all.
"There is no way to do this, Father, you must know that the people of Qi have always been very hostile to their neighbors, especially the Song Kingdom, which has always been constantly causing trouble to the Qi State. But that's okay, with the Song Kingdom behind us to help us restrain the Qi State, even if we are kings, the Qi State will not dare to do anything to us. No matter how powerful the Qi State is, will it dare to face the simultaneous attack of Yan, Zhao, Song and Zhongshan at the same time? Not to mention, the state of Chu in the south is not necessarily a patient neighbor. ”
It may be a matter of age, after all, the brains of the old people do not turn as fast as the young ones, and every time they listen to such a big paragraph, they always have to think for a long time. In fact, it is not only him, but it takes great courage to make anyone who is determined to go against a big country. How much more is it an old man?
"Despite this, the house is still in the hands of Zhao Guo, and what we still get is just an empty title, and the result seems to be no different from what Xiangbang said."
"No, that's just the first step." The young man said, "The second step is to instigate the Yan State to attack the Dai County of the Zhao State, and we will take the opportunity to go south and follow the example of the Zhao State to carry out a surprise attack and attack the house. After the young man finished speaking, he smiled slightly, "If the people of the Yan Kingdom are angry, it is not good that our land will fall into the hands of the Yan Kingdom." And the houses in the south of Zhongshan, even the city of Juan, the Boren, will fall into the hands of our Zhongshan, when the time comes, there will be no supply of military horses in the north of the Zhao State, there will be no barrier in Handan, plus there is a tiger's eye on the Qin State next to it, hehe, the day of the fall of the Zhao State will not be far away. ”
When Wen Ji heard this, her heart suddenly stopped. It's a good plan to reverse black and white and kill people with a knife. Although this young man is not very old, his mind is so deep that it is really not comparable to ordinary people. Being able to discover the key points in the chaotic form and make use of them is far beyond the others. However, since then, Zhao Guo is in danger.
At this time, I only heard the old man say: "The plan is good, the only thing to worry about is whether the military strength of the Yan State can resist the soldiers of the Zhao State." The old man said contemptuously: "Yan has always been far away from the Central Plains, the people are simple, and it is a little difficult for the national strength to even protect itself, unless the spirit of the king of Yan is too high, I am afraid it will be difficult to persuade them to send troops to attack the Zhao country." ”
"At this point, the monarch doesn't have to worry. As long as Yan Guo can hold back Zhao Guo's attack, as for what he and Zhao Guo will become, you and I don't need to worry. As long as the two families can fight, Zhongshan will be able to take the opportunity to recover the house. Father, what else do you have to worry about such a good thing? ”
The old man thought for a moment and continued: "In this way, it will offend the two big countries, and I am afraid it is very unwise. ”
"Why did the monarch destroy his ambition so much? The heroic warriors of my Zhongshan are the Wei State and cannot destroy my bloodline, so that after the destruction of the country, the mountains are coiled and rise again. It is the retreat of my Zhongshan, not in this plain land, but in the Taihang Mountains. As long as there are mountains, there is a way out of my mountain. This is the last Jedi of my Zhongshan. ”
Wen Ji looked at the two of them and nodded unconsciously. I have to say that the young man's statement is also correct. In that year, the Wei army destroyed Zhongshan, if it had not failed to eliminate Zhongshan's bloodline, it would not have been successfully restored by Zhongshan later. In fact, such a thing is indispensable, and when your bottom line is not known to others, you have no way to escape.
"It's not impossible." After a long wait, the old man finally spoke. "In this way, I'm afraid I will have to let Zhang Deng run for a while, I don't know if he will be willing."
"Don't worry, Father. In my opinion, this is also a recovering of the house, and Zhang Deng may not agree. And. In addition, the situation of Zhongshan being the king has been finalized, wouldn't it be wonderful to have such a win-win situation? ”
After a long time, the old man said imperceptibly, "In this case, let it be done." ”
"Yes," said the young man, as he was leaving.
"Don't hurt Xiangbang's heart, keep a little distance from the orchestra pit." The old man looked at the young man's back and said.
"Father... I? The young man quickly turned around and fell on the ground to plead guilty.
The old man sighed slightly, "Although Le Chi and the others have been naturalized in Zhongshan for a long time, he is different from Xiangbang. Xiangbang comes from another country, and the rights are also given by us, to put it mildly, as long as you want to remove his rights, you only need one sentence to take back the authority. After a pause, he continued: "However, Le Chi and the others are the descendants of the first Wei State and Le Yang. Le Yang was originally a ruthless person, in order to destroy our country's unity, even his son could not bear to eat it, and his people may not be as good at hibernation as him, waiting for the time to come. You can rely on his wisdom, but don't be fooled by him. ”
When Wen Ji heard this, she dared to feel that the kind of analysis just now was not the credit of this young man, but the credit of Shangqing Lechi of Zhongshan Kingdom. After she came to Lingshou, she also heard that Shangqing Lechi was friendly and never cared about others. On weekdays, he lives in a simple house, rarely goes out, and almost can't see his shadow. Unexpectedly, this is still a well-hidden person.
So, the concubine did not delay any longer, and left Lingshou the next day. Afraid that there would be too many people to leak the target, he only took the three little guys who were close to him, and came to Handan from Lingshou makeup. I wanted to come to you openly, but I was afraid of being spied on by someone with a heart, so I sneaked in in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect to almost die here. ”
Zhao Yong looked at her coquettish appearance, and a burst of emotion suddenly surged in his heart. If a woman is willing to do too many things for you, even if it is for some kind of benefit, she is willing to take her life, which in itself is a kind of attachment.
If a woman has affection for a man, she does not need to have any reason at all, and the reason of the women is something that men will never understand, and even they may not understand.
Zhao Yong couldn't help but pampered Wen Ji Ruyu's face with his hand, and smiled slightly, "Okay, your task is complete, you can rest." Leave the rest to Lonely. ”
Wen Ji was slightly stunned, and in an instant, her whole heart melted into Zhao Yong's pampering. She didn't know why this man was different, and maybe she wouldn't understand that no woman wanted her man to be a coward, and no woman wanted her man to be afraid to run away in the face of difficulties and dangers. The more fearless Zhao Yong is, the more lethal he will be to her.
Zhao Yong was not the kind of person who took advantage of people's danger, he turned around and prepared to leave the dormitory. At the moment when he turned around, there seemed to be a beautiful snake behind him, his hands were wrapped around his back, wrapped around his waist, he could clearly feel that there were two soft places on his back, and the beautiful snake, with a sweet fragrance, said in his ear: "Stay." ”
"Are you sure?"
The beautiful snake didn't answer, but in the next second, Zhao Yong felt that a soft and boneless slippery one was swimming back and forth on his ear, kissing his earlobe constantly. "I'm sure."
Zhao Yong was stunned, looked down, and saw that his clothes were a little loose at some point, and the culprit was a pair of Qianqian jade hands.
The fan is closed, and the tent is hanging clouds. The strings are tuned to the phoenix, and the brocade is woven with mandarin patterns.
