The rebellion of the son exacerbated the turmoil in the Yan Kingdom. Qi Wangtian seized the opportunity to conquer the frontier, with Kuang Zhang as the general, raised the troops of the five capitals and the people of the north to crusade against the Yan State. Kuang Zhang is worthy of being a famous general of Qi State, and Sima Chou, who is also known as the Ming General of Zhongshan and the Ming Minister, helped him. Within 60 days, the Qi State attacked Yan and broke through Jicheng, the capital of the Yan State.

Prince Yan died in the battle, and King Yan was buried in the fire. Kuang Zhang strictly enforced military discipline on the one hand, forbade soldiers to plunder the people of Yandi, and stabilized the people of Yandi. The other side sent the situation of Yan back to Linzi of Qi State. Where should Yan Guo's tomorrow go, it is up to Qi Wangtian to make the decision.

Tian Pijiang received the good news from Yan Guo and said with great joy: "Zhang Zi is worthy of being a lucky general. ”

Qi Chen congratulated: "Long live the Great Qi, long live the king." ”

Tian Pijiang asked: "Everyone, Yan Country has no owner, we take it, or we don't take it." ”

"The Yan Kingdom was given to the Qi Kingdom by the heavens." Qi Xiangtian Ying took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, this is the best time to include Yan Kingdom in Qi Kingdom. Don't take it now, but wait for when. ”

Tian Bijiang pondered for a while and nodded, "Widow, that's exactly what I mean." ”

"Your Majesty, if we take Yan, the Yan Kingdom will die." Sima Tianhe, the great of the Qi State, arched his hand and said: "The princes of the Central Plains have been afraid of the power of the Qi State. Today, we have lost the Yan Kingdom, and the thousands of miles of Yan Country have been incorporated into the Qi State, and the national strength has increased greatly. I am afraid that I will be jealous of the princes. The matter of the dead swallow, please be cautious to the king. ”

"Yan Guo, take it or not." When Tian Pijiang heard this, he thought slightly, waved his hand, and said: "Let the few people think about it, and we will discuss it tomorrow." ”

Qi Chen bowed down and retreated.

If the State of Qi gains the State of Yan, Tian Bijiang will be able to establish immortal feats, and he will also become a generation of Ming monarchs who will expand their territory. His great achievements will also be recorded in the history of the country and admired by future generations. Qi country has Yan, how can the princes of the world not come to Zi to worship. The king of Qi can succeed. However, if the Qi State takes the Yan Land, what will be the reaction of the princes of the Central Plains. Although Qi is the first powerful country in the East, at this time, does it have enough strength to resist the princes of the world?

Tian Bijiang thought of a person in his mind... Confucian master Meng Ke.

Meng Ke taught his studies in the Jixia School Palace and had just returned to his residence. Suddenly, I heard that the king of Qi led Qi Xiangtian Poppy, Da Sima Tianhe and other important ministers to visit. Meng Ke straightened his clothes and greeted him personally.

Jixia School Palace, is the Tian family Qi State official institution of higher learning, was built in Qi Huan Gongtian Wu. Because the school palace is located near the gate of Linzi Jimen, the capital of Qi State, it is named. Jixia School Palace brings together students from all over the world, and it is also a place where hundreds of schools of thought contend. Among them, there are Taoists, Confucianism, Law, Names, Soldiers, Agriculture, Yin and Yang and other schools. Hundreds of schools of thought gathered here to argue with each other, criticize each other, absorb and promote the ideas of their own school.

The successive monarchs of the Qi Guotian clan allowed the sons of the hundred schools to 'discuss without governance, and discuss state affairs without holding office'. Talented people can also receive the blessing of a doctor, and have the corresponding title and support.

Qi Wang Tian Biqi is also a Confucian scholar, Meng Ke, Chun Yuji and others are also subject to the doctor's luck, regardless of the position and state affairs. Meng Ke's Confucian thought is highly respected by people and he is also the master of contemporary Confucianism. Meng Ke's name and his prestige in the Jixia School Palace, Qi has long been a household name. In order to respect him, the Qi people called him Mencius.

When Qi sent troops to attack Yan, Tian Pijiang also asked Meng Ke to solve his doubts. When he came back to Jixia School Palace today, Meng Ke personally greeted him with a thorough courtesy. Tian Pijiang was overjoyed when he saw this, and his tone was humble, "The widow is here to disturb Mr. Please sir to solve the doubts of the widow. ”

And they all saluted.

"Please." Meng Ke welcomed everyone into the house and instructed his subordinates to prepare tea and cakes.

Meng Ke asked, "The king is here, I don't know what doubts there are. ”

Tian Pijiang asked, "Have you heard about the matter of Yan Kingdom?" ”

"General Kuang Zhang led the Qi division to conquer the Yan State in less than sixty days. The king's great achievements have already been recited in the Qi country, how can I not know. ”

"The widow asked Mr. in the way of a wise gentleman and a virtuous gentleman. The widow said that he would rather be a wise man than a virtuous man. The outnumbered army captured the Yan Kingdom in less than 60 days. Some people say to the widow not to take swallows. There are also people who say to the widow that they can take swallows. Tian Pijiang's eyes were dark, "Mr. said, the Yan Kingdom is turbulent, and the few people send troops to fight, just like the great opportunity when King Wu is defeating." It is also the time when the widow expands its territory and establishes a reputation for the ages. Sir, I encourage you not to miss this opportunity. The widow listened to Mr. Gao's arguments, and sent troops to attack Yan with Kuang Fu Justice. ”

Meng Ke saw that the King of Qi had broken through the Yan Kingdom, his expression was solemn, and he asked, "What doubts does the king have?" ”

"The widow has broken the Yan Kingdom. The death of the rebel courtier was innocent, and King Yan was buried in the fire. Today, the Yan country has no owner, and the domestic situation is unstable. Tian Bijiang asked affectionately: "Sir, Yandi, should the widow take it or not." ”

"The land of Yan was broken by the king, whether to take it or not, it is all in the king's words." Meng Ke had already understood the meaning that Tian Bijiang did not express in his heart, and asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with it." ”

Tian Pijiang thought for a while, and replied: "Destroying the country of ten thousand times with the country of ten thousand times, and doing it in less than sixty days, is something that has never been done in the world. Manpower doesn't stop there. If the widow does not take it, there will be disaster. However, take it, and the princes of the world unite against me. To take or not to take, it is difficult for the widow to choose, so I came to ask Mr. ”

Meng Ke thought about it and replied: "The king takes it and Yan Minyue takes it." This is what King Wu did to cut down. If the king takes it and the Yan people are displeased, don't take it, this is what King Wen did. The king sent troops to the country of Yan, and attacked the country of ten thousand times with the country of ten thousand times. The people of Yandi all eat pot pulp to welcome the king. Is there any other? The people of Yandi welcome the king to avoid water and fire. If the water is deep, like the fire is hot, it is just luck. ”

"If you are outnumbered and take Yan, the princes will seek to save Yan if they are afraid of the power of Qi State." Tian Pijiang sighed: "If the princes jointly attack the Qi State. How the widow should be treated. ”

Da Sima Tianhe also said: "Although the Qi country is strong, it cannot be the enemy of the princes of the world. Qi State vs. Sanjin, the winner is still indistinguishable. Plus the states of Chu, Qin and Yue. The strength of Qi is against the princes of the world, and the country of Qi is in danger. ”

Meng Ke said with a smile: "Xia Wei is tyrannical and lewd, and the people's hearts are lost. The soup is less than 70 miles, and he is not afraid of Xia Wei's obscenity, and dares to raise troops to destroy it, and govern the world. The country of Qi sits on a land of thousands of miles, and the elite soldiers are strong, how can they be afraid of the princes of the world. ”

"Okay." Tian Pijiang patted the case and said: "Chengtang is less than 70 miles, and I dare to fight for the world." How can a widow have a thousand miles of land? Yan Di and the people of Yan Land, the widow is going to be decided. ”

Meng Ke saw that the king understood the meaning of his expression, and showed it with a smile.

Tian Ying asked lightly: "We have taken the swallow land, how should we manage it." ”

"Qi Xiang is right. The widow took the Yan land, how should he manage it" Tian Bijiang asked: "How can the widow make the people of the Yan land willing to become Qi people." The people of Yandi do not think of the old master, nor do they rebel. ”

"After me, then Su." Meng Ke replied: "King Yan doesn't think about the kindness of his ancestors, and he gives away his hundreds of years of inheritance to others. The new prince is not afraid of the people, but abuses his people. The king used the way of Kuang to support the monarch and the ministers, and raised an army to fight. The people of Yandi thought that the king's move was to save them from the dire situation. The king cut down the swallows, and the people of the swallows did not resist, but opened the city gate and ate the pot pulp to welcome the king. The king wants the people of Yandi not to think of the old master, nor to rebel, and to become Qi people. I think the king should be kingly, benevolent, and kind to them. ”

"Sir's words, it's bad." Tian Pijiang said coldly: "The people of Yandi are not the people of my land. Breaking through the Yan Kingdom is God's blessing, and it is also the result of the overbearing of the widows. The widow treats the people of Yandi well with the royal way, and cannot convince the people of Qi and the soldiers of the three armies. ”

Meng Ke asked, "The king wants to use the technique of domineering to govern Yan Land. ”

"Exactly."

"The king governs the Yan country with his domineering skills, and the people of the Yan land are bound to rebel."

"The soldiers of the Yan Kingdom can't resist the Qi Division. How could the people of the mere swallow land resist it. Tian Bijiang's eyes showed a cold breath, and he said solemnly: "The people of Yandi dare to rebel against the widows. The widows used their domineering skills to deter them. ”

"The king has won the land of Yan, but he does not practice benevolent government, and treats the people of Yanland well. The people of Yandi will miss their old master and rebel in a big way. Please think again. ”

"The people of Yandi miss the old master. The widow destroyed his temple and moved his heavy weapons. One person in Yandi rebelled, and the widow used heavy codes to destroy his three tribes. ”

"The people of Yandi are big waters, and Qi Shi is big boats. Water can carry a boat, and it can also capsize a boat. Meng Ke bowed and said, "Please think twice." ”

The Yan State was attacked by the Qi State. The people of Yandi are really the people of the country, how can they be treated with Wang Dao benevolent government. The people of Yan Land, An Neng enjoys the same treatment as the people of Qi State. Since Tian Pijiang decided to seize the Yan Land and the people of the Yan Land. If you want the people of Yandi to submit to the Qi State forever, you can only control it by practicing the art of domineering. Tian Bijiang achieved the purpose of his visit, and he didn't want to entangle this issue with Meng Ke, so he got up and said goodbye.

The news of Qi's attack on Yan reached Handan, Zhao State. The destruction of the Yan by the State of Qi caused extreme uneasiness among Zhao Junyong and the ministers of the Zhao State.

Zhao Junyong summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs in Congtai Palace and asked, "The Qi State has conquered the Yan State in less than sixty days. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you have to do about it? ”

"The State of Qi will break through the Kingdom of Yan in less than sixty days." Great Sima Feiyi exclaimed: "How strong is the strength of the Qi State. ”

Tian Buli said: "The Qi country has won the Yan country. Zhao Guo is also in danger. The minister suggested that we send troops to Yan to help Yan recover the country. ”

Gongzi became a Taoist: "Qi is a powerful country in the East. Now he has won the Yan Kingdom again, and his strength has increased greatly. When we send troops to the Yan Kingdom, we are enemies of the Qi Kingdom. Qi is strong and Zhao is weak, which is an indisputable fact. If we send troops, not only will we not be able to save the Yan State, but we will also provoke the Qi State. Will our country win the war? ”

"If you can't win, you have to fight." Li Dui said: "The Qi State has won the Yan State, and the soldiers of Linzi and Gaotang can threaten Handan." The people of Yan Land and Qi Northern Land will threaten Dai County. Saving Yan is equivalent to saving Zhao. If the Yan State exists, the Qi State will not dare to do anything to my Zhao State. ”

Gongzi Cheng said coldly: "If you can't win, you have to fight." Isn't this self-defeating? ”

As soon as Childe Cheng said this, he was immediately supported by many people.

"Your Majesty, the Great Priest is right. The country of Qi broke through the country of ten thousand times on the 60th. We can't provoke the Qi State, so as not to bring disaster to the Zhao State. ”

"Yes! The Qi State won the Yan State, and the morale increased greatly. If we go to rescue Yan Guo, we will lose our troops. ”

"Rescuing the Yan State is equivalent to starting a war with the Qi State. We can't win the Qi country, we can't go to war! ”

"Qi is the number one power in the East, and we can't fight against it."

"We should preserve our national strength, be better with Qi and develop our national strength, and wait for the opportunity."

"Ridiculous, ridiculous." The voice of a man came from outside the hall. A short time later, the man walked in. Zhao Junyong saw that it was Xiangbang Zhao Bao, and hurriedly said: "Xiangbang, why are you here." ”

Zhao Bao coughed violently, waited until his breath stabilized, and arched his hand: "The Qi State has broken through the Yan State, I am not at ease. ”

"Someone." Zhao Yong hurriedly said: "Sit." ”

"Thank you."

"Qi State attacked Yan State, what does Xiangbang think."

"Your Majesty, we should send troops to aid the Yan Kingdom." Zhao Bao coughed violently again, "The Qi State has won the Yan State, and the national strength has increased greatly. King Qi's ambitions will also be further inflated. Qi is bound to want to use domineering techniques to fight for the world. The Qi State went west to dominate, and the Zhao State bore the first disaster. Today, the country of Qi is extinguished. Tomorrow, the Qi State will think about how to destroy Zhao. ”

Gongzi said: "The country of Qi is powerful, how can we compete with it." Saving Yan is equivalent to starting a war with the State of Qi. Zhao has the strength to fight with Qi. ”

"When Xianjun Yu was alive, there was Qi Wei in the east, Hu Qin in the west, and Hu Ren Koubian in the north. We are not afraid to fight against it. Today, there is no war in the west and south, how can we be afraid of the Qi country. Zhao Bao said: "It's hard for you to wait for the Qi State to stabilize the Yan Kingdom." The state of Qi sent troops to attack our country. Do we regret that we didn't rescue Yan Guo in the first place? ”

Childe Cheng didn't know how to answer.

"Qi is strong and Zhao is weak, this is an indisputable fact." Zhao Bao said: "Ladies and gentlemen, our war with the Qi State has begun. If you don't fight, you have to fight. ”

"We haven't started a war with Qi yet, how can we say that the war has begun." Gongzicheng asked, "Xiangbang, aren't you sick and confused!" ”

"I'm sick, but I'm not confused." Zhao Bao said sharply: "The Qi State has won the Yan State, and the next step will be to plan the Zhao State." Weak and small countries try to survive, but they are not destroyed by large and powerful countries. Weak countries and small countries will have to join the princes. Today, Qi Guoqiang is strong, and we do not act. The stronger the Qi country will be. Today, when we rescue Yanguo, we are also saving ourselves. We can only unite with the Yan State and jointly balance the Qi State in order to keep the Zhao State. ”

"You don't have to fight. The State of Qi defeated the State of Yan. The widow should also meddle in the affairs of Yan Kingdom. The matter of Yan State must not be let by Qi State. Zhao Yong greeted everyone calmly and asked, "How can we save Yan." ”

"Prince Yan died in battle, and King Yan was buried in the fire. There is no owner in the country of Yan, and the people of the land of Yan have no supporters. Zhao Bao's breath was disordered, and he continued: "The Qi State confuses the public with Kuang Fu Justice and blinds the Yan people. When the Yan people wake up, they will definitely rebel against the Qi people. Those who support the Yan royal family will also be supported by the people of Yan Land. ”

Zhao Yong asked: "Who should we support, compete with Qi people for the world." ”

Li Dui said: "Prince Yan is the best candidate. ”

"No." Fei Yi said: "Ji Ping led foreign thieves, attacked the national capital, and forced his father to death. How can such an act be supported by the people of Yandi? ”

Tian Buli said: "The prince of Yan Guo is promoted." ”

"Gongzi Sheng is the most influential in Yan Kingdom. At this time, it has long been regarded as a thorn in the side of Qi State. Zhao Bao continued: "The minister thinks that the prince is the best candidate. Gongzi is the son of King Yanyi. His mother is Yan Yihou. The father of Yan Yihou is none other than Qin Wangsi. ”

"Okay, we'll support the son." Zhao Yong asked, "Where is the son's position?" ”

"Hostage in Korea." Fei Yi asked, "Your Majesty, how do we welcome Gongzi back to Yan Kingdom?" ”

Zhao Yong shouted, "General Lechi." ”

"The end will be."

"You have a widow's edict in your hand and go to Korea. Tell the king of Han the meaning of the widow. The matter of escorting the son's job back to China will be handed over to you. ”
