Gongsun Yan sent a signal to sue for peace, which confused the scheming Wei envoy. In order to conquer Zhao, how many manpower, material and financial resources did Wei spent. Asking for peace with the enemy before making any meritorious deeds is not like Gongsun Yan's style, nor is it in line with Gongsun Yan's strong personality. Moreover, with Zhao Qiuhe, as an envoy of Wei, what face did he have to return to Wei and see the king. Wei made his mood solemn, his eyebrows were high, and he said: "The king sent me to Zhao and wait for the opportunity to destroy him." How can we say it to the king when we return in vain? General Gongsun, except to negotiate peace with Zhao State, there is no other way. ”

Gongsun Yan, seeing that the Wei envoy had not yet seen through the current situation, only remembered the king's will in his heart. The ambassador selected by King Wei was not as talented as Doctor Ji. Doctor Ji knows how to change at the right time, this ambassador only knows the king's order, but he doesn't know that the situation is already unfavorable to Wei. Gongsun Yan was a native of Wei, and it was the Qin State that made him famous and stood out in the first battle. Gongsun Yan became famous in the Qin State, and because he was different from Zhang Yi's political solution in the same Wei State, he lost to Zhang Yi in several arguments in the Qin court. In addition, his arrogant personality kept Qin Gongying and the ministers of Qin State away.

It was difficult for Gongsun Yan to continue to display his talents in the Qin State, and he returned to the embrace of his mother country. Gongsun Yan saw that the Wei State, which had the overlord in the past, was defeated by Qi in the east and humiliated by Qin in the west, and the Chu State also sent troops to attack the Wei State. Together with Han Zhao, who came out of the Three Jins, they also united to attack him. Wei's national politics and diplomacy were in shambles. If it weren't for the foundation of the overlord, Wei would have been divided by the vassal states long ago.

Wei Poppy also raised his head from time to time and said: "After the general goes, there will be no more generals in Wei who can solve problems for the widows." ”

Gongsun Yan came to the Wei State and wanted to change the trend of the Wei State with his own strength and change the decadent trend of the Wei State. Gongsun Yan arrived in the Wei State, and he was also quite used by Wei. Gongsun Yan also exerted his talents to unite the Qi state, balance Qin and Chu, and change the foreign policy that was unfavorable to the Wei state. Militarily, it also made Han and Zhao suffer. However, the government of the Wei State was complex and changeable, and it involved a wide range of people. Wei Poppy is also not as ambitious as he was back then. He has a talent that has gone through the heavens and latitudes, and he can't vigorously display it. He acted in the Wei State, and he was also constrained by others everywhere. 'The five countries will be funeral, waiting for the opportunity to destroy Zhao. He came up with this strategy. Although the king of Wei buried the army of the five kingdoms, he handed it over to his command. But his action and decision-making, without the nod of Wei Envoy, it was difficult to get his wish.

Gongsun Yan took a breath, his tone was a little cold, and said, "Wait until Chu and Yan submit their credentials and reconcile with Zhao." Not only did we miss the opportunity to make friends with Zhao Guo. The situation is even more unfavorable for us. ”

When Wei heard this, he thought about it for a while, and felt that Gongsun Yan's words were a bit unfounded. Wei thought to himself? Without the help of Chu and Yan, there were also Qi and Qin. The great cause of Zhao can still be achieved. General Gongsun did not fight, but issued a request for peace. It was because he entered the Zhao realm and did not support his decision to attack Zhao, and he was resentful. Or maybe the court of Wei is too small to accommodate him. Gongsun Yan planned to leave Wei and throw himself into the arms of Zhao.

Gongsun Yan penetrated the thoughts in the heart of the Wei envoy, and said bluntly: "Ambassador, don't you pin your hopes on the Qin State and the Qi State. ”

Since it was broken by someone, the Wei envoy did not hide it, and said unruly: "Qi and our country are close allies, and Wei and Qi also attacked Zhao and defeated Zhao generals Han Ju and Sanqiu. Qin Guomou Zhao, among the four countries, has the strongest mind. Qi and Qin are our friends, how could they betray our country. Without Chu and Yan, big things can still be done. General Gongsun did not fight and chose to sue for peace. I don't know if the general is unwilling to fight, or he doesn't dare to fight. The general's strategy is really for the sake of the country. ”

"Friends are meant to be betrayed." When Gongsun Yan heard this, he tried his best to suppress the emotions in his heart, and sneered: "Only friends will have the opportunity to betray you." ”

When Wei Envoy heard this, he was quite shocked in his heart. He did not believe that the State of Qi and the State of Qin would abandon the State of Wei and unilaterally make peace with the State of Zhao. When Gongsun Yan saw his face, he questioned what he said.

"Whether my strategy is truly for the country can be seen from heaven and earth." Gongsun Yan didn't explain much for himself, and sneered: "Qin Guomou Zhao, the performance is the most outstanding. Ambassador, don't you think it's weird? ”

Wei envoy said suspiciously: "General Gongsun, what's strange. ”

Gongsun Yan, with fluctuating emotions, said: "The purpose of the Qin people is to let Wei and Zhao fight each other. The best outcome is that Wei and Zhao become mortal enemies, and only then can he and Qin people reap the greatest benefits. ”

Wei Envoy was unwilling to be oppressed by his high arrogance, and chose to raise his voice to embolden himself, and exclaimed: "I am responsible for the affairs of diplomatic relations." General Gongsun, what to do, I don't need you to teach me. ”

The Wei envoy chose a stupid way to talk to Gongsun Yan. Seeing his rebellious look, Gongsun Yan was angry in his heart, and he didn't want to say more to him, so he got up and left. Leaving Wei Envoy alone, alone in front of the flickering lights.

The envoys of Chu and Yan entered the palace early in the morning and never returned until nightfall. There has already been news in the palace, saying that Yan and Chu have submitted their national letters and reconciled with Zhao. At this moment, Zhao Jun was entertaining them with delicious food and wine.

One person said that the Wei envoy still didn't believe it. But, two people said, he started to get a little messy. Later, a third person said that his mind was shaken, and he was not firm. After three watches in the night, I suddenly heard that someone came to report that Zhao Guoxiang was the son of the leopard. personally sent the two ambassadors Yan and Chu back drunk.

Wei Envoy was uneasy and sent someone to inquire about the news, but was turned away. The abnormal behavior of Chu and Yan made Wei envoys a little more suspicious and suspicious. On the second day, the Wei envoy got a second piece of bad news that was unfavorable to Wei... Korea, Song, and Zhao have formed alliances. Once, Wei attacked Zhao, Han and Song would also give Wei a military blow.

After sorting out the information obtained, Wei Envoy felt that what Gongsun Yan said was very reasonable, and he wanted to improve his relationship with Zhao as soon as possible. Once, Qi and Qin are better with Zhao, then the hole cards in Wei's hands are not strong. Lack of hole cards, and then go to be better with others, even if you have a hundred points of sincerity, in exchange for the other party's indifference. It's better to take advantage of the hole cards in your hand to get better with Zhao as soon as possible.

Ambassador Wei woke up and dealt with diplomatic relations quite decisively. On the third day, he bowed down and handed over the letter of friendship. Qi and Qin scolded Wei for not being righteous, but also handed over the national letters that had been prepared. With the last submission of the credentials of the Qin State, the storm that swept through the Zhao State finally ushered in peace and tranquility.

Zhao Yong faced the national letter handed by the envoys of the five countries, got up and walked out of the hall. In the past few days, his mood has been very heavy and depressed. Zhao Yong wanted to go out of the hall to breathe in the fresh air, and said, "Father, have you seen it?" Child, it has not tarnished your prestige. ”

At the expiration of the spirit period, Zhao Yong and Zhao Bao and other important ministers supported the coffin of Marquis Zhao Su and came out of Handan. The people of Handan knelt on both sides of the street and tearfully sent the ceremonial guard of honor of the ancestors' coffin out of the city. The envoys of the five countries led the army of mourning and sent them to the funeral together. On the road to Shouling, lamentations are played and paper money is flying. In the territory of Zhao State, it was covered with snow. It seems that heaven and earth are mixed.

Zhao Guo has repeatedly shocked the envoys of the five countries. Among them, what shocked them the most was not the huge funeral procession and the ill-intentioned funeral army of the Five Kingdoms. Instead, they saw a magnificent mausoleum. The wide road is paved with bluestone. On both sides of the road, there are shaded trees. In front of the mausoleum, there is a tall stone tablet, which is engraved with the praise of Zhao Suhou in later generations.

After reading the condolence, the priest raised his voice: "Get up." ”

The sturdy Zhao Guonan, carrying the coffin, stepped into the long Shinto. Sacrifice, said, "Kneel." ”

"Sacrifice"

"Fall."

The mourners suddenly heard a loud sound of falling rocks, which shook the ground and shook the mountains. When the earth returned to calm, in front of everyone's eyes, a boulder appeared, weighing a thousand catties, and it was not humanly raised.

Zhao Yong took a few steps forward, bent down, held a slope of soil in both hands, and took one last look towards the mausoleum. He poured soil into his hand and sprinkled it with tears on the tomb. sacrificed, and raised his voice: "Raise the soil and send it to the ancestors." ”

"Your Majesty, go all the way."

In 335 BC, Zhao Houyu ordered the construction of a mausoleum for himself. Its manpower, wealth, size, and power were unmatched by previous kings. As the Taoist saying goes, when a person dies, the soul is immortal. When the emperor was alive, he would build a tall tomb for himself, and called it a mausoleum, which means that it is as tall as a mountain forest, and also symbolizes the dignity and loftiness of the royal power. Therefore, when the emperor dies, he will choose to take away the glory and wealth of his life. The mausoleum of the emperor began with the Marquis of Zhao Su.

During the envoy of the Five Kingdoms to Zhao, he saw that the elite armor of Zhao was ready to go. These days, I am also trembling, and I dare not make the slightest mistake. After the burial of the Marquis of Zhao Su, the envoys of the five countries wrote together and begged to return to their mother country. Although Zhao Guo submitted his credentials of friendship with the five countries. However, tens of thousands of horses from the five countries and left Zhao in vain are also unstable factors. In order to avoid accidents, Zhao agreed to the request of the envoys of the five countries to return to China.

The Five Kingdoms originally wanted to wait for the opportunity to try Zhao in the name of the funeral. Who would have known that these people have really become funeral bearers. For them, it is indeed not an honorable thing. But, for Zhao Suhou. After death, to be able to have such a large funeral procession is not in vain the wisdom of the past. Perhaps, this is the best way to admire heroes. Zhao Suhou said, there is knowledge under the spring, and he will definitely send out an extraordinary emotion.

As the envoys of the five countries led the condolence army out of the Zhao realm, the thick fog and rain that had plagued Handan City for several days finally gradually dispersed. Just as the bad news of the death of Marquis Su of Zhao, the panic brought to his subjects is slowly fading from Zhao State. The haze that shrouded Handan also flew away with the strong wind. However, the young Zhao Yong, in the face of the predicament, made efforts and performances, and brought new hope to Zhao Guo.

Zhao Yong stood in the Longtai High Pavilion, standing against the wind, his heart was full of passion, and said: "Promote my Zhao Guo's national prestige, and inspire my Zhao family's heroic style." ”
