Zhao Jun led the troops back to the Dai Land, and held a grand banquet in the Dai Palace to reward the meritorious soldiers. After three rounds of drinking, everyone drank happily. The main general, Zhao Xie, put down the wine bottle, his face was displeased, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Yan Guo cut my six cities as compensation." Why refuse. ”

Zhao Xie said that, the previous harmonious atmosphere suddenly seemed stiff.

Mu Jian looked at the gentleman's expression, beckoned, and sent the singer out. In the hall, there was a sudden deathly silence. Zhao Gu glanced at the king, then looked at the soldiers, and said, "General Zhao Xie, I salute a cup." ”

Zhao Xie picked up the wine bottle and took a sullen sip, his face was extremely unhappy.

Zhao Gu tried to ease the atmosphere, and said to everyone: "I salute all the generals." Our army was able to achieve a great victory, and you have contributed a lot. ”

The crowd raised their bottles in response.

Zhao Xie's words are also a thorn in everyone's hearts. Because of their humble position, they speak lightly and have no weight. Now, as the commander-in-chief, Zhao Xie has spoken out about this problem. After everyone had drunk, they put down their bottles and were sullen.

Zhao Gu, seeing that everyone was silent, said with a smile: "You think that the wine of my place, is it not as good as Handan's wine?" ”

"Wine is good wine, but there is something in the heart, and it is not enough to drink it." Zhao Xie raised the wine cup and took another sip.

Zhao Gu glanced up at the king, and with the remaining afterglow, he swept the cheeks of the soldiers, "Today is a celebration banquet, we should drink happily." If there is anything unhappy, I will talk about it tomorrow, and I will not get drunk tonight. ”

Zhao Jun was drinking and playing with the wine bottle while looking at the soldiers. If you don't explain this matter clearly tonight, the wine banquet will be tasteless and tasteless, and it will be difficult to be elegant. Zhao Jun put down the wine bottle, got up and walked down the steps, bowed to the soldiers. Seeing this, the soldiers hurriedly got up and saluted back.

Zhao Yong, facing all the soldiers, said loudly: "In this battle, we were able to win, which is the credit of everyone. The widow is here, and I salute you all of you. ”

The waiter bowed down and brought the wine up.

Zhao Yong held the wine bottle and faced everyone, "Please." ”

Everyone responded by raising their bottles and drinking them all.

Zhao Yong, put down the wine bottle and faced the soldiers, "The widow knows that you are unhappy." First, the widows did not approve of the capture of the lower capital of the Yan Kingdom. Second, the widow did not accept Yan Guo's cutting of six cities as compensation. In this meeting, Zhao Xie, Fei Yi, Pang Wu, Gongsun Pu and Zhao Xi and others suppressed the position, and Li Wei and others were used as diplomatic envoys. Don't say that Yan Guo cut six cities, that is, if you ask for ten cities, Yan Guo will also agree. However, the widow does not want a city, and he does not want compensation from Yan Guo. Your hearts are not happy, and you have complaints. ”

"This victory is not easy, and it is my thousands of Zhao Guojian's children in exchange for flesh and blood." Zhao Yong straightened his spine, his eyes were blazing, "The capital of Yan is the capital, the geographical location is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Attacking the city, even if you get the lower capital, will also lose many of our soldiers. Ladies and gentlemen, is it important for a city to have the lives of our soldiers? ”

"Widow, don't want the city of Yan Kingdom, it's not that you're afraid of Yan Kingdom. Today, I am strong and weak, and I take its land. Tomorrow, when I am weak and strong, I will plunder my land. The widow accepted the six cities of Yan State, and the six cities were the barrels of the war between Yan and Zhao. The Yan-Zhao war continued, and water and fire were incompatible. How many people will be ruined. Today, Yan Zhao Zhige is not only saving himself, but thousands of families. ”

Zhao Xie is a military general, and his thinking is carried out in accordance with the military general's operation model. All he wants is to defeat the enemy and then get the most out of it. After saying this, he found that he was short-sighted. Today, the State of Zhao relied on the power of the country, defeated the State of Yan, and took the opportunity to claim land. There is a definite number of these trade-offs. When Yan's national strength is restored, it is bound to raise troops to commit crimes and wash away the national shame. These six cities will be a gap between Yan and Zhao, and it will be difficult to achieve real peace between the two countries.

Zhao Xie thought that the king did not want the city of Yanguo, which was caused by his timidity. At this moment, he understood the deep meaning of the king, and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am a rough person, and I don't care about these things." Please, you will be punished. ”

The others, kneeling on the ground, shouted, "Please punish you." ”

Zhao Yong stepped forward to help Gongzi Xie, and then faced the soldiers, and said, "Everyone hurry up." Come to the celebration banquet today, and the widow will punish you, not that you have changed your taste. "All the soldiers are you looking at me, I am looking at you, silent, and I don't get up.

"Good! and the widow shall punish you to drink freely the wine of the land. ”

The soldiers, with happy faces, hurriedly said: "Thank you, your lord." ”

When Zhao Gu heard this, his face was miserable. This group of reckless men are all masters of drinking. If they are allowed to drink freely, I am afraid that the wine here will not be enough for them to drink. Seeing his painful face, Zhao Xie walked beside him and said apologetically, "Tonight, you're going to bleed heavily." ”

Zhao Gu said bitterly: "You! Every time I see you, it's not good. ”

"It's rare for me to come to replace the land once, how can you do it if you don't spend some money." Zhao Xie, seeing his painful appearance, smiled even more happily, "Brother, you are free, I invite you to come to the party." Shangdang wine, you can drink it happily. ”

Zhao Gu smiled and said, "Okay." I'll drink all of your party wine. ”

Zhao Xie's eyes glanced at the hall and sighed: "Tonight, I am afraid that the fine wine you have here is not enough to drink." I'll pay for it, and you go buy some wine and come back. ”

When Zhao Gu heard this, he said unhappily: "When you say this, you just look down on me." When you come to me, you are even asked to pay for the sale of wine. It's passed out, my face, do you want it? ”

"Good, good. I have said the wrong thing and I will make amends to you. Zhao Xie saw him say this, and he was entangled, it wasn't that he looked down on him. So, he patted him on the shoulder and returned to the feast. Zhao Gu summoned a waiter and advised: "You, go buy a few carts of wine and come back." ”

The waiter said, "Lord Commander, the wine here is enough." ”

Zhao Gu waved his hand and let out a long sigh: "Go!" ”

The waiter was ordered to withdraw.

Zhao Gu walked into the court, facing everyone, and shouted: "Everyone, I won't get drunk tonight." ”

Everyone stood up and raised the bottle to salute Zhao Gu, saying that he was extremely generous.

After a drunken heart, Zhao Yong woke up, and it was three days later. As soon as Zhao Jun woke up, someone reported that Yan Guo had come. Later, a few maids came in and washed and changed his clothes. He hadn't eaten for a few days, and Zhao Yong was hungry and hungry. After breakfast, he went to the palace to meet the envoy of Yan State. During Zhao Yong's drunkenness, all the things of the county fell on the shoulders of Zhao Gu, the county guard. Daidi, under his management, was revived.

On behalf of the county officials, I heard that the king woke up and held a court meeting to welcome the envoy of the Yan State, so he put on his official uniform and entered the Dai Palace.

The envoy of Yan Kingdom bowed three times, held the bamboo slips high with both hands, and said: "Before sending envoys to Zhao Guo, Duke Yan specially instructed me to persuade Zhao Jun to accept the things on the gift list. Yan Gong also hopes that Zhao Jun can forget about the unpleasant things between Yan and Zhao. ”

Mu Jian understood, stepped forward to take the bamboo slips, and forwarded them to the king.

Zhao Yong took the bamboo slip, looked at it, and asked, "If the widow doesn't accept the gift list, Yan Gong can sleep peacefully." ”

When Yan Envoy heard this, his expression was solemn, but he was also silent, and replied: "Yan Gong can't sleep well, Zhao Jun, can you sleep peacefully?" ”

Yan Envoy's sentence seems to be plain, but in fact, it has a deep meaning. The meaning of the Yan envoy is also very subtle. Yan Gong can't sleep peacefully, how can Zhao Jun sit back and relax. Whether Yan Gong can sleep peacefully depends on Zhao Jun's attitude.

Zhao Gu understood the deep meaning behind this sentence, he saw the king, his face was suspicious, and he said: "Zhao Guo intends to improve the relationship with Yan Guo. Zhao Guo's kindness to Yan Guo, didn't Yan Gong feel it? ”

Yan envoy said with a smile: "It is precisely because of Yan Gong that he felt Zhao Jun's sincerity that he sent me to envoy Zhao again to express the desire for friendship between the two countries." ”

Zhao Yong, with a smile on his face, said loudly: "Today, the widow will not accept the gift list." Ambassador, I'm afraid that after returning to China, it will be difficult to substitute for Yanbus. ”

Yan Envoy, with an embarrassed face, said, "Exactly." Zhao Jun won't embarrass me! ”

"Good! The widow also felt the sincerity of Yan Guo. The gift list was accepted by the widow. Zhao Yong, putting aside the gift list, looked into the eyes of the Yan envoy, and said, "Sage Yun, come and don't be rude." The widow also prepared a gift list for Yan Guo. Mu Jian, send the gift list to the Yan envoy to see. ”

"No." Mu Jian handed over the prepared gift list to the Yan envoy.

Yan envoy, after reading the gift list, said sincerely: "Yan Guo is willing to make friends with Zhao Guo." Yan Gong will never invade the Zhao State throughout his life. ”

"Good. The widow swears again. The country of Yan will not invade my territory, and the widow will never invade the country of Yan. May the land of Yanzhao be peaceful for generations and never fight for each other. ”

"May the blessings of Yan and Zhao be profound, and the country will last forever." Yan envoy bowed and said, "Farewell." ”

Zhao Yong made a gesture of please, "Please." ”

Zhao Yongmu sent away the back of the Yan envoy who was dashing away, leaving Gongzi Xie, Feiyi, Pang Wu and Gongsun Pu and Zhao Xi, the general of the land, and the others dismissed. Zhao Yong asked, "Is it wrong for the widow to do this?" ”

Zhao Gu thought for a moment, and arched his hand: "Yan and Zhao have a good relationship and conclude an alliance. Zhongshan, Louchuan and other countries did not dare to pay attention to the Daijun of Northern Xinjiang. Northern Xinjiang is worry-free, and the king can make every effort to deal with the situation in the Central Plains. ”

Fei Yi also said: "Your Majesty." Zhao's national strategy was mainly to deal with the Central Plains. In the Central Plains, wolf smoke is everywhere. The princes are fighting, and our country cannot stay out of it. Since you can't choose to go back, you can only choose to move forward. If we want to deal with the princes of the Central Plains, we must devote all our efforts to stabilize the northern frontier and make it war-free. ”

"The widow is willful, and I think I will miss a big thing." Zhao Yong turned around, faced Zhao Gu, and said, "Daijun is in your hands, and the widow is relieved." ”

When Zhao Gu heard this, Zhao Jun's intentions, Daijun was still handed over to him for jurisdiction. took a step back and bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, when the Yan Kingdom invaded my northern frontier. The ministers failed to react in time, resulting in many cities falling into the hands of the enemy. If it weren't for the lives of the soldiers, I'm afraid that Daijun would have been lost. Minister, ashamed of the king. Please, your lord's punishment. ”

Zhao Xi and the others also knelt down and said, "Please, the king will punish you." ”

"Your contributions to the country are seen and remembered by few people. Yan Guo came to attack, Zhao Gu, coordinated the overall situation, and responded in a timely manner. Zhao Yong's eyes slid over everyone's faces, and said, "And you, you are all my big Zhao good boys." If it weren't for you, you would have guarded with your orders and blocked the Yan army from moving south. Daijun is in danger, and Zhao Guo is in danger. In this battle, you can win the battle, and you also have a lot of contributions. ”

In the battle of Yan and Zhao, Zhao lost in the early stage and was at a disadvantage. One is that the Yan State sent troops, and the spirit was in full swing, and the Zhao State was not fully prepared. The second is caused by the unsmooth government decree of Zhao State. When the Yan Kingdom invades, it is war or peace, and the local guards will listen to the king's will. However, the northern Xinjiang Daijun and the Zhao capital Handan, the road is not passable. The war was transmitted back to Handan, and it took a lot of time. Therefore, the Yan State sent troops south, but Daidi did not get the order issued by Handan in time, and Zhao Gu could only shrink his forces and only defend but not attack.

In the past few days, Zhao Yong has also been figuring out that there are 100,000 people in Daijun. However, there are many enemy countries around Daijun. There are only 20,000 soldiers and horses that can be dispatched. It is not easy for Zhao Gu to keep the land with the least sacrifice. Inevitably, similar problems will arise again, and the fighter planes will be delayed due to the failure of the government decree.

Zhao Yong said: "From this moment on, the widow, with you as the prime minister, is fully responsible for the affairs of the county." You can freely mobilize troops and horses to deal with the crisis in northern Xinjiang, and then you will do it later. ”

When Zhao Gu saw the king, he trusted himself unreservedly, knelt down and bowed three times, and said: "The minister swears and swears to be loyal to the king." The minister will do his best to protect the land of the northern frontier in order to repay the kindness of the king. ”

Zhao Yong nodded, walked to the high position, faced everyone, and passed down the edict, the army rested for three days, and the class returned to Handan.
