"Mr. went to Linzi, although he is not a deputy envoy, but the responsibility is greater, and it is not much more than that of the main envoy. All temporary changes depend on Mr. Planning. In the back garden of Longtai, Zhao Yong and Le Yi talked in a whisper. Zhao Yi and Xi followed the two from afar and fell behind.

"The heavy responsibility is on our shoulders, and we will live up to your mission." Le Yi said indifferently.

"It doesn't have to be too difficult. Lone Du understands that if he wants to persuade Qi to withdraw his troops, it is difficult to climb to the sky. Lone Ben wanted to go in person, judge the situation, but if he couldn't do it, he would take risks and hold Tian Ying hostage......" Zhao Yong said while talking about his plan and making a statement. In fact, this is also the result of his recent careful consideration, and he believes that through the "Flying Bear" organization in the territory of Qi State, it is not difficult to achieve this goal.

Le Yi thought for a while, and said slowly: "Your Excellency's move is absolutely not feasible, please think twice." ”

Zhao Yong didn't answer, just looked at Le Yi, obviously wanting him to give himself an answer.

"Tian Ying, this person, has always had the habit of raising customers, it is said that there are 3,000 customers, among which the capable people do not know how many, if they do not know the situation, sneak in and assassinate at will, I am afraid that not only will my identity be exposed, but even if I want to return to Handan safely, it is almost extravagant."

In addition, although Tian Ying is the prime minister of Qi, the authority of this army is not something he can fake in his hands, but in the hands of the general Tian Wei. Tian Wei and Tian Ying are not in harmony, and the world knows it. Even if you kidnap Tian Ying, I'm afraid that you will not waver in your determination to attack Zhao, but it will stimulate Qi to immediately raise troops to attack Zhao, which is too risky. ”

The State of Qi, like the State of Zhao, is a parallel system of civil and military affairs, with the prime minister being the head of the civil and military officials, and the general being the head of the military attachés, both civil and military, and at the same time obeying the orders of the king of Qi. This practice has indeed improved the efficiency of the bureaucracy of Qi and allowed the king of Qi to better grasp the political situation, but in the same way, the mutual tilting between the civil and military has also become a very dark part of the political ecology of Qi. From Zou Ji as the prime minister, he framed Tian Ji as a general and Sun Bin as a military advisor, so that the two of them had to flee to Chu State, to Tian Ying as the prime minister, and Tian Zhuo turned against each other, and the generals of Qi lost each other and almost everyone knew it.

Even if Tian Ying can be controlled, there is almost no change in the military issues with the Qi State. Tian Wei has never had a good impression of Zhao Guo.

"So, there is no possibility of a peaceful settlement of this matter?" Zhao Yong is not afraid of war in his heart, but mainly because he is afraid that Zhongshan will repeat it, and he and Qi will fight hotly, and Zhongshan will attack behind him, so Zhao will fall into the predicament of being attacked by the enemy on his back.

The two were silent, walking slowly, Le Yi thought for a while, and said slowly: "I think that the king might as well set his sights higher, whether it is Tian Ying or Tian Qi, in fact, they are all afraid of a person, as long as this person is not ready to attack Zhao Guo, then Zhao Guo will definitely be safe." ”

"You're talking about King Qi."

"Exactly. This King of Qi is not a monarch who can be deceived by others, with the means of Tian Ying and Tian Xuan, he will not hide the eyes and ears of this king, so as long as the King of Qi can give up attacking Zhao, Zhao will be considered safe. ”

"How can Lone not know? But according to the intelligence, this male lord has run out of oil and is afraid that he will die soon, which is why Tian Ying dares to act arbitrarily. Zhao Yong said with a wry smile.

Le Yi naturally knew that Zhao Yong had a secret channel to listen to the news of other countries.

There are two intelligence agencies in the state of Zhao. One is the information transmission channel linked by the border and the post station, and reported to the monarch through the Sima Mansion. However, after Zhao Yong ascended the throne, he strongly advocated that the White Tiger Hall become the center of the Zhao State, so the end point of this channel is also from the Sima Mansion to the White Tiger Hall. In today's White Tiger Hall, in addition to Zhao Bao and the other four, Le Yi has also become the fifth person, although Pang Cong and Lou Zhu are not worthy, but as long as they are in Handan, they will be ready for consultants.

Even so, about Zhao Guo's other intelligence system, Le Yi only heard that this intelligence system is directly under Zhao Yong's responsibility, as for what channels and who execute, he doesn't know anything, but it is said that its credibility is very high. Therefore, Zhao Yong said that King Qi would die soon, so he must have obtained reliable information in this regard.

"But don't forget, even a sick tiger is enough to shock a fox. If you want to achieve the goal of persuading the Qi State to withdraw the army, you must let the King of Qi come forward to deter you. But what is the specific situation, a certain has to go to the country of Qi, and then improve one or two. ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yong nodded, and now it can only be like this. After thinking about it, he put his hand into his arms, felt out a green ornament, and knew at a glance that it was not ordinary, and handed it to Le Yi with great importance, and said solemnly: "Mr. arrived in Linzi, you can find a woman named Wen Ji, all the information that Mr. wants to know, can be understood through her." Her assistance is also available if necessary. However, don't tell her everything, just be careful. ”

Le Yi carefully put away the green jade and asked, "Does the gentleman have anything to say to this Wen Ji?" ”

"Jun said, 'Resist Luo to cover up the tears, and the waves of tears. The mourning will never be extinguished, and the mourning will be in a foreign land'. She will take her husband as her own. ”

Le Yi memorized these two sentences and nodded to indicate that he understood.

"When is the gentleman going to leave?"

"Today is the sixth day of the first lunar month, if the envoy of Qi is about to leave in the next few days, he should leave on the sixteenth and send an envoy to Qi."

At the next day's court meeting, Zhao Yong ordered the envoys to meet him, indicating that Zhao had just experienced a great war, and his vitality was greatly damaged, and he had no strength to fight again. Therefore, it will not cooperate with Qi to attack Zhongshan.

Seeing that Zhao Guo had made a firm decision and knew that it could not be changed, the sergeant said a few cruel words, and left Handan the next day and rushed back to Qi State.

On the thirteenth, Zhao Yong ordered the general Pang Cong to lead the troops to Gaotang to garrison, responsible for the defense of Gaotang, and the captain Li Zhuo was parallel.

On the 15th, Zhao Yong ordered Zhao Jue to be the chief envoy, Zhao Yuan to be the deputy envoy, and Le Yi to jointly envoy Qi State. In addition, Sima Qian, a pawn of the Pawn Division, sent an envoy to Zhongshan to negotiate the relations between the three countries.

For a while, it seemed that the clouds of war had filled the sky of Zhao again.

At the same time, in Lingshou in the north, the impact of the war on Zhongshan was not weaker than that of Zhao.

In the corridor of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a maid held a wooden plate, moved slowly, staring at the meat porridge on the tray, lest it spill a little bit, and turned around and was scolded. She knows very well why the other sisters used to rush to be the guy they were fighting for, and this time they all pushed it to their little girl, because recently, the old man was in a very bad mood, and even his favorite concubine was beaten for no reason. It's because everyone can't avoid it, only this little girl has no way to retreat, so she can only come over hard-headed, and she is ready to be scolded in private.

"What are you thinking?" The little girl walked with her head down, and suddenly heard a joking greeting, her hand shook, and a lot of meat porridge suddenly spilled out. Suddenly, her little face burned, her eyes began to accumulate, and she couldn't help crying, eager to break the corpse of the person who shouted at her.

"Childe." She shouted aggrievedly.

Sima Xi looked at her and naturally knew what was going on. As the culprit, he took the tray and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll deliver this thing, you can go back." ”

"Huh?" She glanced at Sima Xi suspiciously, although she knew that he was usually more sympathetic to these slaves and maids, but this was the first time she felt it.

"What? Otherwise, go ahead and send it to the master. As he spoke, he was about to return the tray.

"The slave and maid are gone." She hurriedly ran into the distance, only took two steps, turned around, and said to Sima Xi, who was looking at her with a smile: "Childe, I heard... I heard..."

"What did you hear?" Sima Xi wondered.

The little girl plucked up her courage and said, "I heard that the old man is angry, and it has something to do with the son, isn't the son going... Isn't it..."

Sima Xi's eyes flashed, and then he said "surprised": "Oh, yes, how can this be good?" It's better for you to send it. ”

"Oh." The little girl suddenly complained to herself, what a mouth.

"Alright, let's go."

The little girl saw his narrow smile, her fair face flushed, she lowered her head, and said, "Yes, Childe." He turned around and ran away.

Sima Xi smiled and shook his head, and walked towards Sima Xun's room. He knocked on the door, but no one answered, he knocked again, and still no one answered him. He was slightly stunned, pushed open the door, and just walked in, only to hear a "pop", as if something had fallen to the ground, and then one person drank: "Get out!" ”

Sima Xi seemed to know that there would be such treatment a long time ago, but he was not in a hurry, walked in slowly, closed the door, put the porridge on the several cases in front of Sima Xun, who was already bearded, and prostrate on the ground, without saying much.

"I said it, I don't have a son like you, you get out of here immediately!"

"Father, please listen to me......"

"What is there to say! You are a traitor who betrayed Zhongshan for your own interests! How do I not know what you think, don't you just want to use Zhao Guo as a foreign aid against Gongsun Hong and those people? Hmph, let me tell you, if I am in the day, your idea will definitely not succeed. ”

Sima Xi looked at his father in front of him, although there were turbulent waves inside, but on the surface, there were indeed no waves, and Sima Cheng was furious.

"The old man knows that although Gongsun Hong and others are nominally with me all the way, but their hearts have already run to the side of the prince, as long as the king dies and the prince succeeds to the throne, then the old man can only be arrested. The old man understands very well in his heart! ”

Then, he pointed at Sima Xi and said, "But this idea of yours is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger." Don't blame the old man for not reminding you! ”
