When Lian Wu's battle report arrived, the entire Zhao Wangcheng was still shrouded in the haze of the early morning, and the dim lights were still shining on the main hall.

Xi stood behind Zhao Yong, already sleepy. He opened his eyes to look at Zhao Yong for a while, closed his eyes and dozed off for a while, nodding his head there incessantly. He didn't know how many times he had dissuaded Zhao Yong, but it was obvious that this had no effect. He glanced outside, it was almost dawn, and the white of the fish belly was already exposed. He glanced at Zhao Yong and slowly paced to the door of the main hall. knocked on the two eunuchs who had fallen asleep against the door frame, and whispered: "Go and inform the chef, hurry up and start a fire to cook, you will definitely be hungry in a while." Then go and inform the royal attendants, and ask them to quickly clean up the dormitory, and after the king's meal, go back to bed. ”

"Yes." The two eunuchs nodded hurriedly and hurried towards their respective destinations.

Xi looked at Zhao Yong's still busy figure, sighed slightly, and thought that the energy of young people was really amazing. It's been all night, and I'm still very energetic. He knew that Zhao Yong was now even sleeping with his eyes open, lest one day, he wouldn't even know how he died.

"Your Majesty, it's dawn, it's time to rest." Xi walked to Zhao Yong's side and said with some worry.

Zhao Yong looked at the sky, and the slightly exposed white indicated that a new day was about to begin. In his previous life, he often stayed up late, so that his energy was very well exercised, and he often rotated in a row when encountering big projects, so he was very accustomed to staying up late.

However, as a king, he is sleeping for a day today, and I am afraid that no one dares to wake him up, except for military affairs, of course.

"It's dawn, and I haven't paid attention yet. This night, you're tired again. "Zhao Yong is very polite to Xi, probably because the current eunuchs and the future eunuchs are completely different.

"Your lord has tormented the minions." He said in a panic: "The servant has ordered someone to prepare a meal and a bed, and the king can rest for a while after eating." ”

"I'm tired."

"It's nothing. This is the slave's business. After the king's wedding, this kind of trivial matter will be managed by the wife, and the old slave will be able to raise the general. ”

"yes, two years to go. Hehe, let's just wait. Let's go, let's eat. So saying, he got up and went to the dining room. At present, there is no so-called imperial dining room, but it is simply called a dining room. It is specifically responsible for the food and drink of the people in the royal city, and the royal family uses it to call the inner dining room, which is in the Longtai, and the eunuchs of other palaces are called the outer dining room, which is in the side room outside the Longtai.

However, as soon as Zhao Yong and the others walked out of the main hall, they saw several ministers in red dark clothes, hurrying towards the main hall, followed by a small eunuch. Zhao Yong didn't think about it, and knew that there were only three people who could still enter the city at this time: Feiyi, Zhao Bao and Wu Guang. And the three of them came together, which is definitely not a trivial matter.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the main hall, they happened to see Zhao Yong waiting for them, so they walked a few steps quickly and hurriedly saluted: "Let the king wait for a long time, the ministers are guilty." ”

"It's okay, the three masters will enter the city at this time, there must be something important, let's talk about business first." Zhao Yong is still grateful to the three of them, at least the three of them, so that Zhao Yong has the most basic understanding of the world.

"Your Majesty, last night Shancheng was attacked by the Zhongshan Kingdom, and the general who defended the city, Lian Wu, did not fail in his mission and drove away the enemy army, and now the Zhongshan army is camped three miles north of Shancheng, ready to surround Shancheng at any time!" Wu Guang said as he handed Lian Wu's battle report to Zhao Yong.

Zhao Yong was stunned when he heard this, but he took a closer look at the book. The situation of this battle is described in detail above, especially mentioning the courage of Wuqiu with one enemy and ten, as well as Sima Wei's ambush tactics. Finally, he also reported the casualties, as well as what he saw and heard in Shancheng. and receive the penalty.

After reading it, Zhao Yong silently wrote a book on silk, leaned slightly, and said lightly: "Lian Wu took office, with the newly trained soldiers, judging the situation and making decisive decisions, although the loss of the army is broken, but it is not his responsibility, yes, not only can not be punished, but he must be rewarded for his merits, what do the three adults think?" ”

The three of Feiyi have actually been summed up on the way here, this time the incident happened suddenly, Lian Wu was able to rely on the newly trained soldiers to repel the incoming enemy, which is already a great achievement, and it is really not appropriate to blame too much. The three of them had already decided that if Zhao Yong decided to punish Lian Wu, they would also strive for leniency for Lian Wu. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yong's proposal hit the hearts of the three of them, and they nodded yes at the same time.

"As for the punishment of the others, the first offense did not cause much damage, and Xiangbang will be fair as appropriate, and after I have seen it, I will announce it." Speaking of this, a deep sense of powerlessness made Zhao Yong, who had stayed up all night, suddenly a little tired, and as soon as the cold wind blew, he took a deep breath of cold wind and immediately coughed.

Zhao Yong's sudden cough made several people next to him nervous. If Zhao Yong is sick at the moment, then Zhao Guo's future is worrying, and Zhao Yong has no heirs now.

"Your Majesty, your body is important, let's pass on the imperial doctor." Wu Guang said.

"Yes, your lordship, you are Zhao Guosheji, but you have to take care of your body. Don't get angry because of such a thing. Zhao Bao also persuaded one after another.

"It's okay, it's okay, just take a breath and slow down." Zhao Yong waved his hand, "A few masters came early, so they must not have eaten." Breakfast has already been made in the dining room, so why don't we go together? Fei Yi didn't dare to refuse, so he followed Zhao Yong and walked towards the dining room.

When he arrived at the dining room, the chef had already prepared Zhao Yong's meal, but he didn't expect such a group of people to come, and he was in a hurry to make it for the fat and a few people.

During the waiting period, Zhao Yong did not move his chopsticks, looked at Feiyi and a few people, and said: "Lone once heard that when he crossed the king Goujian, he was captured by Wu Wangfucha, and was forced to raise horses as slaves in Huiji, which is a lifelong shame. Later, he returned to the Yue Kingdom, tried his courage, and finally destroyed the Wu State, went north to meet the alliance, and became the overlord. ”

"What the king said is an old thing in the thirty-seventh year of the reign of Jin Dinggong, and more than two hundred years have passed. At that time, the princes competed for hegemony, and the Yue Kingdom relied on Sun Wu and Wu Zixu to dominate, but they died because of Xi Shi Boyao, which shows that the world is repeated and there is no certainty. Fei Yi said slowly.

What the master said, Gu Shen thought it was. The way of heaven is vast, and non-human beings can know it. It is like Zhongshan to Zhao State, although Zhao Guonan is strong Wei, and Qin Han is in the west, but he is helpless in a small Zhongshan. The indignation in the lonely heart is really difficult to calm. ”

"The tenacity of Zhongshan is not comparable to that of the Central Plains." Zhao Bao said, "When the Wei State went north, Leyang attacked Zhongshan, and Zhongshan was the enemy with the strength of the whole country. Although the success was successful, it was also because Wei Wushu was unparalleled in the world, and Le Yang knew the terrain of Zhongshan well, so he destroyed Zhongshan. However, 20 years later, Zhongshan successfully restored the country, which shows that the tenacity of his people is by no means ordinary. ”

"Now, my Zhao country has no happy sheep, and no Wei Wu elite soldiers, and it is not easy to set foot in Zhongshan. At the beginning of the monarch's pro-government, he once said, 'Build a high wall and accumulate grain', and the minister thought it was true, because the monarch needed to be patient, and the power and Taoguang were obscure, and then the Northern Expedition was better. Wu Guang also persuaded.

When Zhao Yong heard this, he didn't expect that the three ministers felt that Zhongshan was too powerful and could not be defeated in a fight. It was inevitable that there was some loss in my heart, and I suddenly remembered that the greatest achievement of King Zhao Wuling was not "Hufu Riding and Shooting"? How did you forget about this stubble? I've been here for three years, and I haven't officially seen Zhao's army. It seems that if you want to set foot in Zhongshan, you still have to start with this "Hufu riding and shooting"!

"However, despite this, it is not without good strategies for Zhongshan." Fei Yi saw that Zhao Yong was a little lost, so he thought about it and said.

"Oh, I wonder what the master has planned?" Zhao Yong looked at the master who regarded him as closer than his own son, hoping to hear the trick from his mouth.

"Jun Shang is familiar with "Zuo Chuan", can you remember a major event that happened in the first year of the Yin Dynasty?" Fei Yi stroked his beard and said with a smile.

Zhao Yong thought about it, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "The master is talking about the story of Zheng Bokeduan." ”

"Yes, yes." Fei Yi said with a smile.

It is said that back then, Zheng Zhuanggong's younger brother Gongshu Duan, with the connivance of his mother Wu Jiang, wanted to compete with Zheng Zhuanggong for the throne, Zheng Zhuanggong designed and deliberately connived at his brother and his mother, and finally when he wanted to seize the throne of the monarch, Zhuang Gong used this to crusade against Gongshu Duan. Zhuang Gong complained about his mother's partiality and moved his mother to Yingdi. Later, I regretted it, and Uncle Ying Kao persuaded me, and the mother and son got back together.

Zhao Yong is very familiar with this matter, and he has often used it before, and when he mentions it by Feiyi at this moment, he can think of it quickly.

"However, this matter must be done for a long time, and it cannot be done in a day or two." Zhao Yong said.

Zhao Bao and the others looked at each other, indeed, this is indeed a long-term plan, not an immediate plan. "Zhongshan relies on the support of Qi and Yan, and is a great threat to me. As long as the alliance of the Three Kingdoms is not dissolved, as soon as I move against Zhongshan, I will be under pressure from the Yan State and the Qi State. ”

Zhao Yong thought about it for a while, it is true, it seems that there must be some disputes between the two countries.

After a while, he thought of something, so he said to the three of them: "I heard that the year before last, Gongsun Yan, the general of Wei, sent an envoy to Korea, wanting to use the strength of the Kwantung countries to join forces to resist Qin, but is there such a thing?" ”

"It is true." Zhao Bao replied: "Gongsun Yan was originally a good man of the Qin State, but Zhang Yi entered Qin and replaced him. Gongsun Yan was concerned about the Wei State, so he had to leave the Wei State as a general. I heard that in the past two years, he has been running around various countries in an attempt to resist Qin. The slogan he put forward was 'Xiang Wang went west'"

"What is 'Xiangwang Westward'?" Zhao Yong asked.

"That is, to call each other kings and plot against the Qin State." Zhao Bao replied.

"In that case, I have a plan, maybe it can be used?" Zhao Yong thought for a while and said.

"What's the plan?" The three of them looked at him, not knowing what Zhao Yong was selling.

"One peach kills three soldiers!" Zhao Yong smiled mysteriously, looking at the three of them, with a confident smile on his face.
