This may be the destiny of Zhao State. If the ancestor Wuling King did not die in the sand dunes, and really led the Zhao army south from Yunzhong County to attack Qin, and at the same time united with Han Wei to go out of Fenyin and reverse Weishui to Xianyang, then history would be different. It's a pity that time can't be reversed, and the fate of Zhao seems to have been doomed when the three families were divided into Jin and the capital was set in Handan, no matter how hard the descendants tried, they could never be changed.

Zhao Liang felt more and more clearly the breath of the imminent demise of the Zhao State, but the other country had already seen the destruction.

In February, the Qin State, which had just accepted Nanyang County, suddenly attacked Han, and the general who led the troops turned out to be the county guard of Nanyang County. This is a big joke, Teng Qi obviously voted for Qin according to Han An's wishes, but he didn't think that as soon as he voted for Qin, he would defect and become the vanguard of Qin's invasion of Han.

One after another news was sent to Shikoku, and one messenger after another rushed out of Xinzheng. As Han Wang'an's favorite concubine, Miqin could only cry to Xiong Jing and ask him to send troops to save Han. It's just that South Korea has already bribed Qin, and since it has bribed Qin, Chu naturally won't save it.

"Brother Wang......, woo woo woo ......" Mi Qin sobbed, and Han Cheng and Zhang Liang knelt behind her, both crying.

"Qinxiao, Brother Wang can't be saved, can't be saved!" Xiong Jing spread his hands helplessly. South Korea originally planned to be left and right, and if South Korea had been determined to offend Qin and ally with the four countries, it would not have been the end it is today.

"The minister only asks the king to come to the rescue." Compared with Han Cheng, who is not good at words, Zhang Liang's request is very smart. Upon arrival in Yingdu, he quickly became familiar with the political system of the Chu State and knew that each province had the right to send troops; is also familiar with the temperament of the Chu people, once the Yingshi sends troops, in order to protect Xiong Jing, who leads the troops, the Chu divisions in the rest of the counties will follow.

"South Korea bribed Qin first, if it sends troops to save it, what about Wei and what about Zhao?" Xiong Jing knew that this weak young man who had just been crowned was Zhang Liang, but he did not give him any special courtesy. "King Han bribed Qin, thinking that the Qin people would be able to save their country. The Qin people broke their promise and begged for help in the Chu State, and they went to Qin and Chu, how could they save each other? ”

"Wow......" As soon as Xiong Jing's voice fell, Mi Qin cried again, she did not stay in Mingtang, but rushed out with tears in her eyes.

"Someone! Follow Qin's sister. Xiong Jing was very uneasy when he watched Miqin rush out, worried that she wouldn't be able to think about it.

"If the king doesn't save the city, let the Qin people get the land of the city, and the Wei country will be in danger." Zhang Liang continued to lobby. "If the Wei State loses Cai County, Qin and Chu are adjacent, and the Chu State is also in danger. It is wrong for the king of Han to bribe Qin, but whether it is right or wrong, it should be calculated according to the gains and losses of the Chu State, and it is ...... today."

"It is precisely because everyone seeks profit that all countries compete to bribe Qin, and then they are finally destroyed by Qin." Xiong Jing felt that he didn't like Zhang Liang. People pay attention to smell or fate, some people think they are the same kind at first sight, and some people will stay away from them when they first come into contact and keep their distance. Moreover, I only feel this way when I meet for the first time, and I can't feel it when I see a lot of mixed smells.

"Compared with the rules, the gains and losses are dispensable." Xiong Jing continued. "I once said that those who bribed Qin will not be saved, this is the rule of Chu State, and it is also the rule of the world. If the king of Han has flesh, he should fight to the death with the Qin people to ......"

"King!" The figure at the door of the Ming Hall flashed, and Xiang Yan and Don Ji came to the stairs.

"What?" Xiong Jing saw the two of them and guessed that something should have happened.

"It's South Korea......" Seeing that Zhang Liang and Han Cheng were there, don't stop talking about it.

"King Yu, King Han descends to Qin!" The news is not a secret, and Xiang Yan also knows that Princess Qin has been crying every day in the past few days to ask the king to send troops to save Han, so she told her bluntly in front of the Han envoy.

"Descend to Qin?!" Xiong Jing was stunned, it had only been a few days since the Qin army came to Xinzheng, and South Korea had surrendered to Qin.

"Ahh Eup... Lowered... Qin ...... "Zhang Liang and Han Cheng were also shocked. Both of them were worried about their families in Handu, and they were afraid that after the city was broken, the Qin army would be beheaded and the family would be old and weak. Now that the king has descended to Qin, Xinzheng is safe and sound, and his family should be safe. Zhang Liang and Han Cheng's unconsciously relieved expressions made me despise, and the two quickly bowed and withdrew from the Ming Hall.

"Koreans are like this, why don't they die!" Zhang Liang and Han Cheng didn't feel any sadness when they went out, and they didn't cry, Xiang Yan sighed.

"Now that Korea has surrendered to Qin, the King of Wei should be shocked, right?" Xiong Jing smiled and talked about the Wei State.

South Korea bribed Qin to dedicate Nanyang County to the east, and the Wei State hated it so much. No matter how much you hate, once Korea is destroyed, Wei will bear the brunt. The Han border is less than a hundred miles away from the Great Liang, although there is a Great Wall, plus the garden and Ze are separated, but the Qin State surrounds the Liang from the north and the west, and Wei Zeng, the king of Wei, is afraid that he will not be able to sleep peacefully.

"Xinlingjun was still lobbying the ministers to persuade the king to send troops to save Han a few days ago, and now he ...... "The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, Xinlingjun Wei Jian has long been active in Yingdu, especially lobbying Xiang Yan, but he can't guess that before the troops are sent, Han Wang'an will surrender to Qin."

"Will the Qin army attack Wei?" The situation in the world changed again, and the strategic direction of the Qin State was once again ambiguous, so Xiong Jing asked again.

"If the Qin army invades the Wei State, why should Tengqi lead the army to destroy Han?" Xiang Yan pointed out the most important place.

"If the Qin State invades the Wei State, the chasm and the waterways should be blocked." Don't think that the Qin army wants to attack the Wei State.

"Is that still a Zhao Zhao?" Xiong Jing said silently. He hoped that the Qin State would attack Wei, and the Zhao State would be liberated. To this day, the survival of Han and Wei does not have much impact on the overall situation of the world, and it is Zhao and Qi who can really affect the situation in the world.

"In what the minister sees, it should be a war Zhao." Xiang Yan said. "I only hope that Zhao Guo will attack Qin ......"

"The envoy of Zhao has already told him that Zhao has not enough horses to attack Qin." Lian Yu returned to Yingdu, and the first news he brought was that Zhao had insufficient horses in the country and could not attack Qin; The second news is that King Zhao wants to marry Mi Tian, who is four years older than him, so that Mi Tian runs to the bed to cry. Zhao Qian is indeed the king of Zhao, but he is the son of an advocate woman, and Mi Qian is unwilling to marry.

"It's not going to work." If the Three Kingdoms do not join the plan to attack Qin, Zhao will naturally be unable to support it alone, and Xiang Yan is not surprised that Zhao Guo canceled the plan. "But there is another thing to tell the king......"

"What?" Xiang Yan's expression became solemn, compared to the Korean Qin, this is a big deal.

"It hasn't rained since spring!" Xiang Yan exhaled and said what he had been worried about all this time.

"Yet, before the rain?!" Xiong Jing unexpectedly wanted to laugh, but he still held back. I've been worshipping the god of spring for a long time, and now it's the spring planting season, and it's sunny every day, and it really doesn't seem to have rained. Although millet is a drought-tolerant crop, it must be moistened by rain when it is planted, otherwise it will not survive.

Xiong Jing was still worried that the spring drought would delay the spring planting, and Xiang Yan said again: "The minister heard that Zhao Guo is also raining. ”

"Zhao Guo is also raining?!" Xiong Jing finally knew the importance of the matter. Zhao Guo did not have enough grain last year, and if the spring drought affects cultivation this year, there will be no more grain, and with the 10 million stone millet transported by the three countries alone, many people will starve to death this year.

"Summoning ......, summoning ......, summoning Yin Dao!" Xiong Jing turned three times in a row before he remembered who he was going to summon.

"King, it's too late to build a sea boat at this time." Xiang Yan knew why Xiong Jing summoned Yin Dao. The construction of sea boats has stopped, and shipyards large and small throughout Chu State are building inland river boats weighing several tons. Xiong Jing wanted to build a sea boat immediately and transport a lot of grain to Zhao Guo.

"Why not?" Before November last year, the keels had been laid down in the docks, and a gluttonous cargo ship would take about 20,000 man-days, and 300 workers could build it in more than two months.

"Even if 30 sea boats are launched this year, they will not transport 3.6 million stone corn, which is a drop in the bucket." Xiang Yan said. He just asked the problem and there was no way to solve it. "Maybe it's because the ministers are too worried, Chu is not raining, and Zhao is raining."

Xiang Yan just expected, but his expectation was not accurate, three days later, Chutian was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and the first spring rain fell in Ying. The spring rain is as expensive as oil, and everyone in the palace and in the alleys is overjoyed.

At the suggestion of Taibu Guanyu, the scale of the sacrifice to the god of food was doubled in February, and Xie Meiyu taught the ancestors of the Chu people to sow grains, make a fire to cook, and get rid of the kindness of Ru Mao's life of drinking blood. It rained in Chu State, and it also rained a few times in Zhao State, but only Qin State has not rained, and for a time everyone was rumored to abandon Qin State, so it did not rain.

In the view of Zhao Zheng, the king of Qin, many people in the eastern part of the country have an unforgettable hatred for the Qin state, at first they despised and slandered the Qin people as Yidi, and later said that the Qin country was the country of tigers and wolves - of course, the tiger wolf does not mean fierce and mighty, but the meaning of livestock and beasts. The so-called 'the sky abandons the Qin State, so it does not rain', Zhao Zheng does not believe it at all. Qin and Zhao are the same sky, Qin is in a great drought, Zhao is also in a great drought, Qin is moving, and Zhao is also moving. How is it possible that it rains in Zhao and not in Qin?

"King, there is no rain today." Under Zhao Zheng's order, Zhao Gao reported whether it was raining every day, and it did not rain today.

"Oh." Zhao Zheng was used to not raining, and he just let out a soft oh when he heard the words. Probably because the sun outside the Ming Hall was too bright, he put down the bamboo slip in his hand and asked, "Today is ......?"

"Your Majesty, today is the first day." Zhao Gao sneered. "The shore of Weishui is full of tourists, striking the Yan, people shouldering the shoulders, even the curtains into the curtains, and the curtains are raised. The minister thought that if it didn't rain, hundreds of thousands of people in Xianyang would sweat and it would rain. After Zhao Gao finished speaking, seeing that Zhao Zheng was happy, he hurriedly asked: "King, today is Shangsi, is it a day outing?" ”

Zhao Gao said interestingly, Zhao Zheng laughed, and then looked at the sunshine outside the hall, which seemed to have the breath of spring, he put it away and said with a smile: "It's okay." Today I will rest for a day ......, where is the queen? ”

Unlike Xiong Jing, who has always been lazy, Zhao Zheng is extremely diligent, almost every day for more than 360 days a year, and the bamboo slips that are reviewed every day are said to be measured in stone. There are so many bamboo slips, and you can't finish reading them until 10 or 11 o'clock in the evening. If the relevant officials were summoned to ask for details, they would have to be busy until midnight.

In addition to greeting the Empress Dowager Huayang and the Empress Dowager Zhao Ji every day, Zhao Zheng almost didn't leave the palace. Zhao Gao was really overjoyed to agree to take a day off today. He hurriedly asked people to find Queen Mi Qian and Prince Fusu, but at this time, the queen's car was already out of the city with the Empress Dowager Huayang.
