"No one cares? Tian Ying is scheming, Tian Pijiang is cautious, Tian Pan is old, and Kuang Zhang and others are not idle people. Although Tian Ying's ambitions are big, he has never usurped the throne, and no one knows what his thoughts are. Even if you can sow discord, how do you know that the two sides will not share the same hatred and resist foreign aggression at that time? Le Yi said with a sneer.

"So what, when the army arrives, the Qi country will still fall apart!"

"Falling apart? Pipe dream! Le Yi retorted, showing no mercy.

"You ......" Jiang Hao pointed at Le Yi, speechless angrily.

"Marching and fighting is not a chess layout, a son is settled, and the winner can be divided. There is the Great Wall of Mount Tai in the south of Qi State, and even if Chu State is strong, it is difficult to conquer it for a while; Even if it is conquered, this place is too long away from the Chu State, and if you send troops to garrison it, what will happen to the logistics supply? If you don't send troops to garrison it, what's the use of fighting it? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the State of Chu wants to send troops to help Gongzi, then when will the news reach the State of Chu and agree to send troops? How long does it take to gather an army? How many days does it take to raise food and grass? How many days does it take for the army to reach the border of Qi? I'm afraid that when your side has already raised something, the Chu State is not ready to send troops! ”

"Besides, if my Zhao State wants to attack Qi State, it must cross the river and go to Gaotang, but Pingyi is in the southwest of my Gaotang Dynasty, and if our army wants to sit back and relax, it must first go down to Pingyi, and then cross the Jishui defense line of Qi State, so as to reach the Linzi City of Qi State. So Childe, do you know how many Qi soldiers there are in the defense line set up by the Qi State in Jishui? ”

"Is that all? Of course not. Although an armistice was signed, if the interior was empty, who would dare to say that the other side would not take advantage of the situation to recover the homeland? At that time, the army of Zhao was outside, and the withdrawal of the army had to cross two natural dangers, so the army was hurriedly summoned to deal with it, and the losses were tens of thousands! ”

"And you, Gongzi, even if the Qi country is really divided, I am afraid it is unknown whether you can inherit the throne of the King of Qi. Not to mention whether Gongzi can completely exterminate the remnants of the Tian clan, even if he can, then your good neighbor Song State will probably take advantage of the situation and completely annex the territory of Qi State. At that time, what did you rely on to fight against the Song Kingdom? ”

"What's more, even if you become the king of Qi, you must be recognized by Zhou Tianzi, otherwise, the other princes will not recognize your identity, how should you deal with yourself then?"

"With immeasurable losses, to achieve unpredictable results, which is more important, how does Childe think he should choose?"

Le Yi's hearty analysis completely stunned Jiang Hao, he didn't expect that the plan he thought was seamless was actually so many loopholes in Le Yi's eyes. This made his arrogant heart, finally after being hit by Le Yi three or four times, completely like ashes, and lost half of his confidence.

This is not related to talent, but Jiang Hao has never participated in the war, and he can't understand the complexity of war at all. In the final analysis, war is also a science, and it is not something that can be decided by patting the head. In terms of war, it is estimated that he is not as good as a junior like Pang Nuan.

"There's no good wine." Zhao Yuan shook his head, looked at the wine house that was gradually moving away, and as the carriage gradually accelerated, it became more and more blurred in his vision, and said with a little regret.

"You kid, you don't seem to have enjoyed it yet. If you are killed by the other party, I see that you still feel sorry. Zhao Jue teased.

Le Yi's questioning made Jiang Hao speechless, and left the room angrily, Wen Ji, who followed him, had tears in her eyes, but she still politely said goodbye to everyone and chased Jiang Hao away. Zhao Jue felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, for fear that Jiang Hao would be angry and come back to threaten the three of them, so he also decided to leave the wine house.

"It is to make my lord's words wrong, as a soldier, all I love is wine and weapons. In the past few days of coming to Linzi, I have not been able to drink enough delicious wine, and now I have a pot in front of me, and I am not blessed to enjoy it, which is naturally a great pity. ”

After Zhao Yuan finished speaking, the three of them laughed, and the tense atmosphere just now instantly diluted a lot.

"But just now it is indeed very dangerous, in case we are really in a different place, this life is small, but if this provokes a war between the two countries, it will be impossible to redeem it." Zhao Jue felt scared now.

Le Yi shook his head, "The ravine in your heart, although I don't know much about it, but I can still do it if I figure it out." What I have just said is not a lie. The king may be able to avenge us, but he will never immediately turn against the Qi State. ”

"This ......" Zhao Jue and Zhao Yuan looked at each other, although they knew that things might be like this, and if they could, they would be treated as outcasts at any time. But when I think of fate, I can't help but feel a sense of loss in my heart.

Le Yi looked at the flickering and changing faces of the two, and knew that the sentence just now was too cruel. However, this is not his alarmist statement.

"Actually, you don't have to care. It is necessary to know that as a human king, the most taboo is the kindness of women. It is often said in the military that mercy does not lead the army, and if the discipline in the army is destroyed because of kindness to one person, more people are often harmed. ”

"The same is true of Renjun. The monarch controls the country of size, a square land, millions of subjects, and only one monarch. If you are too merciful, the consequences will not only be weak in the country and being bullied by others, but also in a different situation. ”

"Therefore, in Yu's view, for the sake of so-called benevolence, even if the monarch does something contrary to common sense, contrary to human feelings, and even sometimes, for the sake of the country, it is okay."

If Le Yi's words were recorded by someone with a heart and passed on to future generations, then a thousand years later in Italy, he would have been enshrined as a model by a certain great philosopher, and then praised it in his "Treatise on the Monarch", just as the great philosopher once said: "A monarch, especially a new monarch, cannot practice all the things that are considered good people to do, because in order to maintain the state, he often has to be treacherous, unkind, contrary to human will, and contrary to Shinto." It can be seen that the truth of this world can travel through time and space.

Le Yi actually had this kind of consciousness for a long time, he came to Zhao State before, first, Gongsun Yan's admiration for Zhao Yong, and second, he was excluded in Wei State, so he had to come here. But the more he got along with Zhao Yong, the more he could feel the infinite possibilities of this monarch, which made Le Yi feel that Zhao Guo might be his lifelong hope.

Some people die of materialism, some die of ideals, and Le Yi belongs to the latter.

Tian Wen stood outside the window, looking at the study, Tian Ying, who was reading the official document, hesitated for a while, wanted to step forward and push open the door, walked to the door, and pushed the door open, but his hands stopped in the air and stopped.

This is the third time, whenever he wants to push open Tian Ying's door, but he can't make the next move because of the slightest estrangement in his heart.

He is Tian Ying's youngest son, and he is also Tian Ying's most unpopular son, and in addition to some old people, even some people in the house love to ignore him, and even have a lot of disrespect. Of course, Tian Wen knew that the root cause of all this was because of Tian Ying's dislike of himself.

However, for Tian Ying, Tian Wen did not dare to disobey at all, and even when he saw his deity, he cowered and weighed his words for a long time. The more he is like this, the more Tian Ying hates him, which makes Tian Wen's status in the family so embarrassing.

However, this also made Tian Wen inadvertently more friendly, he likes to travel, regardless of whether he is high or low, three religions and nine streams, peddlers and pawns, can talk to him, he is also willing to give up some money, sometimes even penniless, but also to help others, but also let him have a small reputation in Linzi City, even if people like Kuang Zhang who are not in harmony with his political views, there is no malice towards him.

"How are you?"

Just as Tian Wen was hesitating, the door of the study creaked open, and Tian Ying was looking at him with his clothes draped. In fact, he was looking at the official document just now, and heard someone's footsteps, but no one knocked on the door, so he got up to check, but he didn't expect it to be Tian Wen.

"It's... It's ..."Seeing Tian Ying, Tian Wen, who was originally full of rhetoric, had no confidence again.

Tian Ying looked at him, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became. Originally, he made friends and dabbled in it, which was very similar to himself, and he had a little change in his opinion, but he didn't expect that every time he saw himself, he was slow to speak every time, and he didn't have the slightest demeanor when talking to others, which made Tian Ying cry and laugh.

"Come in and talk about it." Tian Ying said, walked in, Tian Wen glanced at his back, followed in, and closed the door.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Tian Ying's tone couldn't tell whether he was happy or not, which made Tian Wen even more nervous.

"It's... Be... There's a piece... There's one thing, the child thinks... After thinking about it, it is better to tell my father. A simple sentence, Tian Wen slurred and said for a long time.

"Say it." Tian Ying pressed down the anger and wanted to listen to Tian Wen and then teach him a lesson.

"It's... Yes..."

"What's it!"

"It's the child in... In the female lu, I saw... I met an entourage of the envoy of the Zhao State. Angered by Tian Ying, Tian Wen said a little smoothly.

"It's just an entourage, so what? And as for the fuss? ”

"Not really. It's just that this attendant said something, and the child thinks... I think..."

"Huh?" Tian Ying looked at him and couldn't wait to beat him to death with a stick.

"The child thinks that it may be bad for the father."

"What do you mean?"

The envoy of Zhao said that he was on the bank of Jishui, and heard that his father built Xue City, which was extremely extravagant, and the weapons for defending the city were extremely sharp, and the soldiers' armor was also the best in the army. It doesn't hurt, the problem is that at that time, General Kuang Zhang was also present. ”

"What? You said Kuang Zhang and you are also together? How did he react? ”

"He was calm from start to finish, nothing out of the ordinary. The child also had a lot of contact with him in private, and it seemed that he didn't take it seriously. ”

Tian Ying got up and wandered anxiously in the study for two steps, his brows were tightly locked, and his face was full of anxiety, which made Tian Wen, a spectator, dare not breathe, just waiting for Tian Ying to speak.

"You hurry up and call Wen Xi over, just say that there is something important to arrange, go quickly!"

"Yes!" Tian Wen agreed, and hurriedly ran to call Wenxi. Wen Xi is a guard that Tian Ying trusts very much, and he is also Tian Ying's confidant, calling him at this moment, naturally Tian Ying has something to worry about.

Watching Tian Wen leave the unclosed wooden door, Tian Ying muttered: "Zhao Guoren, do you want me and Tian Bibi to kill each other?" ”

He nodded, shook his head, and only looked at the melting moonlight in a daze, but he no longer knew what he was thinking.
