The news of the melee between Qi, Chu, and Yue reached Handan, Zhao State. The ministers of Zhao all believed that the third war in the Central Plains might not be avoidable. How Zhao Guo could achieve the greatest benefits in this great turmoil was a topic that Zhao Yong and the ministers of Zhao State were concerned about. Everyone unanimously agreed that Chu would fight against Qi and Yue, and Han and Wei would not stand idly by, and would definitely help Qi and Yue against Chu. Zhao might as well join the camp of Qi and attack Chu in the south.

Zhao Junyong listened to everyone's opinions, did not express his own opinions, and announced the dissolution of the court meeting.

Fei Yi, Tian Buli, Li Dui and others left the palace and were stopped by Mu Jian as soon as they arrived at the palace gate. Mu Jian stepped forward and saluted the three of them: "Three adults, please have a gentleman." ”

The three of them came to the main hall and saluted: "Minister, please meet the king." ”

"You may be seated." Zhao Yong raised his hand and said, "The widow summoned you here to discuss important matters. ”

After the three of them sat down, Zhao Junyong said straight to the point: "Will the melee of Qi, Chu, and Yue lead to the third Central Plains War?" ”

Fei Yi replied: "The three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Yue are all countries of ten thousand times, and they are also the overlords of the past. The three countries check and balance each other, and neither can destroy the other. The minister felt that the situation in the Central Plains would be chaotic, but it would not trigger the Third Central Plains War. ”

Tian Buli also said: "The minister seconded the proposal. ”

Li Dui also arched his hand and said: "The minister also seconded the proposal." ”

"The widow didn't say anything in the court, he just didn't want to meddle in the affairs of the Central Plains." Zhao Junyong said with a serious expression: "The Qin State fell into civil strife, the three kingdoms of Qi, Chu, and Yue were fighting, and the eyes of the Central Plains princes such as Han and Wei were also fixed on the south. This is a great opportunity from heaven for the widow. The widows do not go south to attack Chu, but they can attack Zhongshan. ”

Fei Yi panicked: "Your Majesty, are you going to do anything to Zhongshan Kingdom?" ”

"That's what the widow wants." Zhao Yong nodded, "The attack on Zhongshan is a big matter, and the widow can't say it in front of the ministers, so I brought you here to discuss." ”

Fei Yi said: "Your Majesty, we have been preparing for so many years, it's time to do something to Zhongshan Kingdom." ”

Tian Buli also said: "Although Zhongshan Country is small, it is very harmful to Zhao State. If we don't do anything to the Zhongshan Kingdom, there will be constraints in the struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains. Now, the Qin State is in chaos, and Qi and Chu are also in chaos. This is the best time for God to attack Zhongshan. Minister, in favor of attacking Zhongshan Kingdom. ”

Zhao Yong said: "The Qin State has fallen into civil strife, and no one has been able to quell this turmoil in a short period of time. It is estimated that the Qin State will also be in chaos for a few years. The melee of the three kingdoms of Qi, Yue, and Chu will also attract the attention of the princes of the Central Plains. The widow will take advantage of this opportunity to test Zhongshan Kingdom. The widow also wants to know how much strength Zhongshan has in governing the country with Confucianism. ”

Li Dui arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Zhongshan Wang Cuo is alive." This is not the best time to attack Zhongshan Kingdom. It's better for us to wait a few years, after the death of Zhongshan Wangcuo, it is not too late to attack. ”

Tian Buli objected: "Your Majesty, time is running out. If we miss this opportunity, I'm afraid we will have to wait a few more years. ”

"Yes, the widow is over thirty years old. I don't know how much time God will give to the widow. Zhao Yong's eyes were bright and his attitude was firm, "The widow can't wait any longer." The widow wants to give him a funeral in advance when Zhongshan Wangcuo is alive. ”

Li Dui asked, "Your Majesty, do you have the confidence to break through the Zhongshan Kingdom?" ”

Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "The widow is not ten percent sure. ”

Li Dui said: "Once our country and Zhongshan start a war, it is inevitable to divide the winner and loser. There is no distinction between victory and defeat, and the two countries are constantly fighting. Once the princes intervene in the internal affairs of the mountain, how should we respond? ”

"The widow gambled his time with the princes. Whoever is fast is the winner. Zhao Yong said decisively: "The rhinoceros once said that Zhongshan will not be destroyed, and Zhao will not prosper." The widow has endured it for so many years, and it is time to start solving the problem of Zhao Guo's henchmen. ”

Li Dui said: "Your Majesty, we don't know anything about Zhongshan and Qi, and we will suffer a big loss if we send troops rashly." ”

Zhao Yong clapped his hands with high fives, and the four attendants lifted two large boxes.

Fei Yi pointed to the box and asked, "Your Majesty, what is in here." ”

Mu Jian saw that Jun Shang motioned for him to continue, and arched his hand: "Last year, Jun Shang took us to the border for a field trip, and we arrived at Jiumen. ”

Hearing this, Fei Yi's pupils widened, "Your Majesty, how can you go to a dangerous place." ”

Zhao Yong stretched out his hands and said, "Didn't the widow come back well?" ”

Mu Jian continued: "We not only arrived at the Nine Gates, but also built a wild platform at the Nine Gates to observe the border situation between the Qi Kingdom and the Zhongshan Kingdom. ”

Tian Buli asked, "These are the things that the king has collected about the Zhongshan Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom. ”

"Not bad." Zhao Yong grabbed a bamboo slip, "This records the military situation of Zhongshan Kingdom." ”

"Hahahaha." Fei Yi laughed and said, "Jun went to the Great Tomb and met Mrs. Jun. Since then, the king has avoided the palace and has not dealt with political affairs. You will leave all the big and small domestic affairs to me to handle. I used to think that the king was obsessed with gentleness and did not do his job. I'm very worried about you... Now it seems that the minister misunderstood the king. Your Majesty, you have done a lot of things behind our backs. ”

Zhao Yong looked a little embarrassed, "The widow has been avoiding the palace for many years, ignoring political affairs, and indulging in gentle township all day long?" Feiyi, what kind of person are you to be a widow? ”

Tian Buli answered: "Not only Xiangbang thinks so, but I also think so. ”

Mu Jian teased: "Your Majesty, look at it! I'm not alone. ”

Li Dui pleaded guilty and said: "It turns out that the king has planned it a long time ago, and the ministers are too careful." ”

Tu Yi walked in with heavy footsteps and said, "Your Majesty, Li Yi is back." ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, he said happily: "Please let him in." ”

After a while, Li Jian entered the main hall and arched his hand: "Minister, please meet the king." ”

"No need to be polite." Zhao Yong raised his hand and said, "The widow sent you to envoy Yan and Zhongshan, and let you observe the national conditions of Zhongshan." What good news have you brought to the widow? ”

Li Wei said: "The allusion of Guo Kui buying bones with thousands of gold is said to be the king of Yan. Yan Wangzhi comprehended the deep meaning of this allusion and built a golden platform to recruit talents. Yan Wangzhi is a qualified king. ”

Zhao Yong supported Yan to return to China to revive the Yan State and expel the Qi people. Unexpectedly, Yan Proton returned to China and won the love of Yandi. Under the joint intervention of the princes, the state of Qi was forced to withdraw its troops from the state of Yan. Yan Proton returned to the country and became the new King of Yan. Zhao Yong didn't expect that he would meddle in the internal affairs of Yan and inadvertently cultivate a generation of virtuous kings for Yan Kingdom. Later, let Le Yi lead his troops to defeat King Yan Zhao of Qiangqi.

Zhao Yong saw that the Yan Dynasty had lived up to his original intention and governed the Yan Kingdom very well, nodded and said, "What about Zhongshan Kingdom?" ”

"After the death of Sima Chou, the prime minister of Zhongshan. The king of Zhongshan is like his son Sima Xi. Sima Xi governed Zhongshan with Confucianism. Li Yan paused, and then said: "Zhongshan governs the country with Confucianism, and there is a strange phenomenon. ”

Fei Yi asked, "What a strange phenomenon?" ”

Li Wei replied: "Zhongshan does not reuse warriors, but reuses literati who talk nonsense. In the world of great controversy, such a scene appeared. What a strange phenomenon! ”

Tian Buli said with a smile: "In the world of great controversy, Zhongshan abandoned the criteria for founding a country and chose to govern the country with Confucianism. Zhongshan did not know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace, arranged troops, preached force, and talked all day long. Zhongshan Kingdom emphasizes literature rather than martial arts, this is a sign of self-destruction! ”

Li Yan also said: "The warriors of Zhongshan Country do not get the treatment they deserve. On the contrary, those who have not built an inch of work and talk loudly are regarded as guests. Once there is a war, the Zhongshan Kingdom will not be destroyed, there is no heavenly reason! ”

Zhao Yong asked: "What do you think of the widow now sending troops to attack Zhongshan Kingdom?" ”

"Your Majesty, you can attack." Li Wei Zhengse said: "Zhongshan Country can be cut also." If the king doesn't take it, Yan Guo will also take it. ”

The eunuch Ling Han Zhong walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the deputy envoy of the palace guard is back." ”

"It's just right to come back." Zhao Yongxi said: "Quickly call him to see the widow." ”

"Whoa." Han Zhong took the order and left.

Zhao Yong saw that Sima Wang's clan was wearing a military uniform, his face was radiant, and he had the style of a general, and asked: "Sima Wang's clan, have you done a good job of what the widow explained?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Daijun Iron Cavalry has been trained."

"How many people."

"Twenty thousand."

"Where did the Iron Rider come from?" Zhao Yong couldn't wait to ask, "Take the widow to have a look." ”

"There is no order from the king. I don't dare to let the iron horse enter Handan. Sima Wangzu said: "Your Majesty, among the 20,000 iron horsemen, many of them are Hu people. ”

"It's best that the Hu people can be used by the widows." Zhao Yong said: "Sima Wang, you are very thoughtful. The iron cavalry entering Handan is afraid that it will cause a riot. Take the widow to see it, the trained iron horseman. ”

Fei Yi asked: "Your Majesty, the minister was a little confused. Kimijo trained an iron horseman. ”

"Not bad." Zhao Yong looked at everyone's surprised looks, "The world is turbulent, and the iron cavalry will shock the Central Plains." Ladies and gentlemen, go with the widows to see how this iron rider is. ”

Everyone said in unison, "Wow." ”

Zhao Yong came to the camp and inspected the first iron horse he owned. He is convinced that this is the Iron Horse that will lead the changes of the times, and will also help Zhao realize his dream of dominating the Central Plains. Sima Wang's clan organized generals above the centurion to come to meet Zhao Jun. After Zhao Jun and these generals met, he walked out of the big tent and looked at the 20,000 iron horsemen.

Sima Wangzu said loudly: "The king has come to watch the cavalry shooting. ”

20,000 iron horsemen shouted in unison: "Long live the king, long live the Zhao country." ”

Sima Wangzu said sharply: "Get on the horse." ”

The knight rolled over and mounted his horse in a neat row, waiting for a new order.

Sima Wangzu stepped forward and asked Zhao Yongxin for his orders. Zhao Yong nodded and said, "Let's start!" ”

"Mounted archery begins."

After Zhao Yong personally inspected the cavalry and archery performance of the 20,000 iron horsemen, he said to everyone: "You are worthy of being warriors selected by the widow from hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The widow has you, which is the blessing of Zhao State. You are willing to follow the widows, expand the territory, and compete for hegemony among the princes. ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "We are willing to serve the king." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yonglang said: "The widow will take you to the actual battle." Remember that this is a real battle, not a drill. Are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid."

"Okay." Zhao Yong said: "Tomorrow, the widow will personally take you from Zhao State to the north, interspersed with Zhongshan Kingdom, pass through Taihang, and arrive at Dai County." Are you afraid? ”

"I want to serve the king." Wave after wave of mountains and tsunami sounds permeated this large camp.

Zhao Yong took a few steps forward, looked at the 20,000 iron horsemen, and shouted: "All the soldiers listen to the order, and those who have old parents in the family should come out of the ranks." ”

......

"The only child in the family, come out of the ranks."

......

"Those who have wives and children at home are out of the ranks."

......

"Those who have brothers in the same company are out of the ranks."

"Whoever goes out of the ranks will stay in the camp for the time being. The rest of the soldiers followed the widow north, interspersed with Zhongshan Kingdom, passed through Taihang, and arrived at Daijun. ”

Seeing that the people who did not meet the four requirements of the king, Sima Wang went halfway and said: "Your Majesty, our first attack on Zhongshan is not enough. ”

"There are not many soldiers, but the essence is valuable." Zhao Yong looked at the selected soldiers, "The widow is going to test the national strength of Zhongshan Kingdom, not to start a war with it." At the same time, it is also a test of the ability of the soldiers. If any of you are afraid of the dead, let him go out of the ranks. ”

Li Dui heard that the monarch was going to personally lead the army to Zhongshan Kingdom, and arched his hand: "The monarch is the king of a country, how can he personally get involved in danger." Please put the big picture first. ”

Fei Yi and Tian Buli also said: "Please put the king first on the overall situation." ”

"The widow has made up his mind, and you don't need to persuade him anymore." Zhao Yong saw that no one walked out of the queue, and said to Sima Wangzu: "Wangclan, you can't go either." ”

"I promised you, I want to accompany you. How can a great husband be untrustworthy in his word? Sima Wangzu said sharply: "Sima Wangzu swears to follow the king to the death." ”

Hundreds of guards around Sima Wang's clan also said sharply: "We will follow General Sima to the death." ”

When Feiyi, Li Dui, and Tian Buli heard this, their blood surged, and they also came out and said: "The minister is also willing to follow the king." ”

"Soldiers, this time it is a tentative attack on Zhongshan Kingdom. We went straight to Daijun from Shancheng and went to Zhongshan for a few days. You are mighty men chosen out of hundreds of thousands. The widow will not allow you to be left behind. Zhao Yong looked at the crowd: "Let us witness the exciting moment of the Iron Horse Yang Wei Zhongshan Kingdom." ”
