After the court meeting was dispersed, Zhao Wen, Zhao Jun, Zhao Ji and other clan ministers came to Gongzicheng's mansion. Nominally, it is to see Gongzi's success, but in fact, it is to test Gongzi's style. Gongzi Cheng also understood the intention of these people and arranged a banquet to entertain them. After three bottles of wine, Zhao Wen shouted for Gongzi Cheng, and it was not the number of kings.

Gongzi Cheng drank by himself and never said a word.

Zhao Jun said in a low voice: "Great Sikou, you know who dedicated the land exchange policy to the king. ”

Everyone has said so much, this sentence is what Gongzi Cheng wants to hear the most. The wine bottle that Childe Cheng sent to his lips stopped and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Zhao Jun said: "Le Yi." ”

"Le Yi." Gongzicheng paused slightly, the light of his eyes was a little dim, and then he raised his neck and drank the wine in the cup.

When Zhao Wen and Zhao Ji heard this, they looked at each other and said blankly: "Who is Le Yi, I haven't heard of it." ”

Zhao Jun stared at Zhao Xiang, who was drinking on the side, and asked, "Lord Lieutenant, who Le Yi is, you should know it!" ”

Zhao Xiang shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

When Zhao Jun heard this, he was a little disappointed, and he pointed at him helplessly, and condemned: "Le Yi and Le Chi are people of the same race, and they are both descendants of Le Yang, a famous general of the Wei State. Lieutenant, you don't know. ”

Childe became enlightened: "People from the Le clan." ”

Zhao Jun replied: "I don't know a lot about Le Yi. However, one thing is for sure, he is a descendant of the Le clan. ”

"If you don't tell me, I've forgotten something." Zhao Jue patted his forehead and added, "I remember that Zhao Ying once said that there was a young man named Le Yi who offered him a strategy. Our army will fall one after another in Lin Cheng and Lishi. The defenders of Yangyi, not only were not frightened by the Qin people's position, but shared the same hatred. We will achieve the victory in the Valley of No Return. ”

Zhao Wen was faintly impressed, and also said: "Regain Lishi and Lin City, and drive away the Qin people." Zhao Ying also told me that it was a teenager's strategy. Our army climbed over the mountains, made a detour to the upper reaches of the river, and burned the pontoon bridge of the Qin army. The Qin army was cut off because of the way back, and the army's morale was in turmoil. If it weren't for the Qin generals, the soldiers would make a dangerous move, take advantage of the Wei State, and return to the Qin State. The 100,000 soldiers of the Qin State were also afraid that they would be buried in the Zhao State. I didn't expect the young man you were talking about to be called Le Yi. ”

Zhao Xiang had a headache and said, "You know more things than me." I'm a little incompetent as a lieutenant! ”

Zhao Wen said, "You! Just drink less and work harder. ”

Gongzi Cheng praised, "The Le clan has always been able to fight well. Le Yi is so young, he has done this. He has a lot to do! ”

Zhao Jue took the opportunity to say: "Great Sikou, should we recruit Le Yi under his command." ”

"Le's originated from the Song Kingdom, a great country in the Spring and Autumn Period, and is a descendant of the Song royal family. The bloodline is pure and noble. Gongzicheng put down the wine bottle and said, "The Le clan has always been arrogant, they will only be loyal to the king, not to someone." Le Yang, a famous general of the Wei State, is a model of loyalty. ”

Zhao Jue asked, "What is the merit of Leyang?" ”

"There are many famous generals in Wei State. Why did Wei Wenhou worship Le Yang as a general and attack Zhongshan. Gongzi Cheng faced everyone, "First, Wei Wenhou is not suspicious of employing people. The second is that Leyang can fight well and is very loyal to the monarch. Before Le Yang attacked Zhongshan Kingdom, Le Yang's son Le Shu was a general in Zhongshan Kingdom. Zhongshan Jun ordered his son to be killed, cooked into a delicacy, and given to Le Yang to eat. In this way, it will disturb the morale of the Wei army. In order to show his loyalty, Le Yang sat in the military tent and ate the meat soup. Happy sheep eat the meat of the child to show loyalty, what a pity! The courtiers of Wei State said that he even dared to eat his son's meat, and there was anything in the world that he did not dare to eat. Leyang attacked Zhongshan by force, and it took three years. Although Wei Wenhou rewarded Le Yang for his military exploits and sealed him in Lingshou, he thought that Le Yang was cruel and had no love between father and son. A generation of famous generals also died in Zhongshan Kingdom. ”

Zhao Wendao: "The famous general of Wei State is happy to eat his son, and Wu Qi also killed his wife and begged for a general." What a pity! If these two people could be reused by Wei Wuhou, the Wei State would not have fallen to this day. ”

Gongzi Chengdao: "The national strength of Wei has soared, and it is inseparable from Wei Wenhou's eclectic appointment of talents. It's a pity that Wei Wenhou's descendants don't have his mind. Otherwise, the affairs of the world should be decided by Wei State. ”

Zhao Jue said bitterly: "First a Qi person came, and then another Le Yi appeared." The government of Zhao was controlled by people with foreign surnames. In the future, will we still be able to gain a foothold in the country of Zhao? ”

Gongzi Chengdao: "The king has a Qi person, and the situation of Zhao State is very moving. Now there is another Le Yi. Whether the hall of Zhao Guo can have your shadows, you should think about it yourself. ”

Tian Biyi, the king of Qi, took Tian He as an envoy and sent an envoy to Zhao to be responsible for the land exchange. Tian He is the great Sima of Qi, and the king of Qi took him as an envoy to Handan, Zhao State, which is enough to see that Qi is imperative to change land. Tian He came to Handan, met with Zhao Jun, and discussed the land exchange.

Zhao Jun also wanted to exchange territory in his heart, but in order to fight for more benefits, he didn't want to show his heart too much. After repeated negotiations and concessions between the two countries, Qi and Zhao finally reached an agreement on the exchange of land. When Tian He left Handan, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He thought about how Zhao would govern when he got Hexi. With the hidden danger of Hexi, can the two countries still live in harmony?

The success of the land exchange stimulated Zhao Yong's fighting spirit. So, I found Le Yi and praised him greatly. Le Yi does not take credit, but only says that it is the kindness of the king.

Zhao Yong asked, "The widow has already exchanged land with the Qi State, should he start the next plan?" ”

Le Yi asked: "Your Majesty, you don't feel strange if Qi Guo took the initiative to change land." ”

Zhao Yong pondered for a moment and said, "The widow feels that something is wrong. In order to exchange for land, Qi did not hesitate to give a lot of treasures to the widow. The widow always felt that it was a conspiracy. ”

"Half of the territory of the land west of the river is the country of Yan. The reason why Qi took the initiative to come to exchange land is because the land in Hexi is a hot potato and very tricky. When the king of Qi learned that the king had the intention of changing land, he couldn't wait to throw it to Zhao Guo. Le Yi said: "The Qi State also wants to use the land west of the river to provoke the relationship between Yan and Zhao. ”

Zhao Yong said: "The widow will never let the conspiracy of the Qi State succeed. ”

Le Yi asked, "What does the king plan to do with the land west of the river?" ”

Zhao Yong said boldly: "Qi State doesn't want to use the land west of the river to provoke the relationship between Yan and Zhao. The widow returned the land west of the river that originally belonged to the Yan country to the Yan country. ”

Le Yi asked: "The king and the Qi country exchanged land, and the minister already disagreed. Now, the land that the king will get will be returned to Yan State. I'm afraid the ministers won't agree. ”

Zhao Yong said domineeringly: "The world of Zhao is a widow. It's up to the widow to decide. ”

Le Yi saw that Zhao Jun had courage and courage, and he didn't care about the gains and losses in front of him, so he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, divide half of the land west of the river to Yan Kingdom." The relationship between Yan and Zhao will be further strengthened. This move will be exchanged for more than 20 years of peace between Yan and Zhao. In the life of the end of Yan's reign, the two countries of Yan and Zhao will not be at war. ”

"The widow exchanged half of the land for more than 20 years of peace. No matter how you calculate it, the widow is the biggest winner. Zhao Yong asked, "Le Yi, can you tell the widow about the next step?" ”

Le Yi exclaimed: "Your Excellency, how do you know, I still have a plan for the next step." ”

Zhao Yong helped him up, "You offer it to the widow with the strategy of exchanging land." It is to test whether the widow has the courage. If the widow can't control the ministers, he can't change the land. You will think that the widow is a weak king, and he will also leave the Zhao Kingdom. Le Yi, is the widow right? ”

Le Yi said convincingly: "Your Excellency already knows, please punish me." ”

"The widow can choose you, and you can also choose the widow, what is the crime." Zhao Yong saw that he didn't speak, and said: "Le Yi, are you willing to serve as a secretary and help the widow dominate the world?" ”

"Le Yi has no fame, how can he be in the position of secretary." Le Yi said: "I am willing to thank you with military merits." ”

"Okay." Zhao Yong looked excited, "He is worthy of being a descendant of a famous general." ”

Le Yi bowed three times and said, "Your Majesty, we have formed a strategic encirclement of Zhongshan Kingdom. Zhongshan is strong, and the Zhao man is also good at fighting. We should use force to defeat Zhongshan. Wei was able to sweep the princes because of Wei Wushu. The State of Qi was able to defeat the State of Wei, that is, there was a competitive division. Qin Guodong sent out the letter valley and competed with the princes for the world because of the eagle sharp people. Great powers compete with each other, but they do not lose. It's all because there is a strong team that can fight well. Zhao wants to stand in the Central Plains and be proud of the princes of the world. Zhao needed an army that could fight well. ”

Zhao Yong's blood surged: "This question has been thought about for more than ten years. ”

Le Yi asked, "Your Majesty, why was the Wei State able to establish a Wei warrior that made the princes fearful. ”

Zhao Yong replied: "All of them are the training of the famous general Wu Qi." ”

Le Yi said: "The princes of the world are mainly engaged in car warfare. However, in the early days of the Wei Kingdom, it was able to break the convention, take the lead in changing the law, and replace the car battle with foot combat, which was actually because of the work of Wei Xianzi, the ancestor of the Wei family. Wu Qi was just a change on the basis of Wei Xianzi. ”

Zhao Yong asked: "Today's disputes between princes are mainly based on car battles. Wei Wushu won by foot combat, which was unimaginable to the princes. The states of Qi and Qin followed the example of the Wei states and reformed the military system. The Qi State has a competitive division, and the Qin State also has eagle warriors. The widow only remembers how Wei Wushu was famous in the world, how he dominated the princes of the world, and was invincible. But I never remembered, Wei Xianzhi. ”

"The world, except for the princes. There are also hundreds of schools. Le Yi said: "If divided by a hundred schools of thought, Wei Xianzi is both a soldier, a reformer and a politician. Its greatest contribution was the creation of the infantry system. In 541 BC, the Jin state and the Baidi tribe fought in Taiyuan. Due to the narrow terrain of the battlefield, the Jin military vehicles could not be deployed, and it was difficult to resist the Di soldiers. Wei Xianzi destroyed the car for the line, and changed the car battle to the foot battle. All the chariot armor soldiers were reorganized into armored infantry, mixed with the original chariot infantry, so that the original chariot battle formation with two, army, specialty, participation, and bias as the grouping became the forward guard, rear guard, right wing, left wing, and front rejection as the formation of foot combat formation, which is the famous Wei Shu phalanx. The Jin army used the reformed formation, taking advantage of the fact that the Di soldiers had not yet lined up, and quickly approached the attack, defeating the Di soldiers. Wei inherited this formation. After the founding of the Wei State, Wei Wenhou appointed talents in an eclectic manner, and Wei improved Wu Qi on the Wei Xianzi phalanx. Wu Qi selected and trained military soldiers, all of whom were heavily armoured, wearing heavy armor, holding swords with ge, carrying bows and crossbows, and straddle arrows. Wei Wushu was well-armed and mainly hoplite. Wu Qi led the trained Wei Wushu to fight in the south and the north, and set a record of 72 battles and 64 victories, which was a great achievement. Wei Wushu was invincible to the princes of the world for nearly a hundred years. ”

Zhao Yong asked, "How can the Zhao State build a strong army that is proud of the princes of the world." ”

Le Yi replied: "The land of Zhao is different from the Wei State. The customs of the Zhao family are also different from the Wei family. Zhao can be civil and martial. Wen Neng is safe and secure, and Wu Neng is undefeated princes. If Zhao wants to build a strong army that will make the princes of the world fearful, he should train an army that is even more powerful than Wei. ”

Zhao Yong said with a serious expression: "There are many mountains in Zhao country, and there are many Hu people in the north. The Hu people are good at riding and shooting, and the harm is not weaker than that of the princes. If the widows want to destroy the mountains, plunder the Hu land in the north, subdue the Hu people, and dominate the grassland, they must establish an iron horse. Wei has warriors, Qi has a competitive army, Qin has eagle warriors, and Zhao should also have an army that will terrify the princes... Iron Ride. ”

Zhao Yong said loudly: "Wei has military pawns, and the princes are vertically and horizontally. Zhao also has iron horses to be able to dominate the Central Plains. ”
