Chapter 351: Master Zhao's Father Enters Qin Alone (Part I)

The three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei joined forces, raised 250,000 troops, and rushed to Hangu Pass, which was the first bad signal for Qin; The Three Kingdoms Coalition Army took Kuang Zhang, a veteran of the three dynasties of Qi's defeat of Qin, Breaking the Three Jins, Dead Yan, Yuyue State, and Three Invasions of Chu, as the commander of the coalition army, which was the second bad signal for Qin; The most lethal is that the nameless general of the Qin State will contend with the Three Kingdoms, which is the third signal.

Although the situation is unfavorable to the Qin State, the man surnamed Ying will never choose to bow to fate, but will only fight for his life against the sky.

Internally, the Qin State mobilized all the forces that could fight, stepped up preparations for war, and faced the princes; On the other side, martial law was imposed in the country and the Hangu Pass was closed to prevent the princes. Externally, he sent envoys with treasures to make friends with Yan, Zhao and Song. The state of Qin hoped to use the power of the three kingdoms of Yan, Zhao, and Song to balance the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei.

The state of Qin sent Wei Ran as an envoy to Handan, the capital of Zhao, to conclude an alliance with Zhao in the name of inviting Zhao people as prime minister.

At the same time, the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei invited the Zhao State to join forces with the princes to attack Qin under the banner of 'Kuang Fu Righteous Path and Exterminate the Violent Qin'.

Lord Zhao's father faced three choices, the first was to join forces with the princes to attack Qin; the other is to help Qin defeat the princes; Another option is to sit on the sidelines and do nothing.

For a time, Zhao became the object of the two forces' efforts to win over and win over.

Qin envoy Wei Ran submitted a credential to Zhao State, and King Zhao saw that the matter was too big to call the shots, and asked Feiyi's opinion.

Fei Yi had a headache and said: "The minister is responsible for assisting the king and governing the country." Such a major event still has to be decided by Master Zhao's father. ”

Zhao Guo's opinion is related to the life and death of Qin State. Although Wei Ran knew that the major affairs of the conquest were the responsibility of Master Zhao's father. But Master Zhao's father is not in Handan all the year round, how to find his trace.

Wei Ran asked, "Where is Master Zhao?" ”

Fei Yi took the lead and replied: "Lord Zhao's father is in Daijun, inspecting the border troubles in the northern frontier. ”

Although Zhao Wang He knew that Zhao's father was in Handan, why did Fei Yi lie. King Zhao didn't understand, but he also helped Fei Yiyuan lie and said: "The widow is young and can't govern." Military affairs still need to be decided by Lord Zhao's father. Our country settled in the north and defeated Sanhu. The power of Beihu is huge and cannot be eradicated. Master Zhao's father worked tirelessly and personally inspected northern Xinjiang to deal with Hu troubles. ”

Wei Ran knew in his heart that this was Zhao Guo's delaying tactic, but he couldn't say it directly, and asked, "When will Master Zhao return." ”

Zhao Wang He replied: "The whereabouts of Master Zhao's father, the widow has never asked. When Lord Zhao's father will return, the widow does not know. ”

Wei Ran said anxiously: "Zhao and Qin are the same ancestor, the princes attack and destroy Qin, and the king can't see death without help." ”

Fei Yi saw that the Qin people began to play the emotional card, and he was not infected by the other party's expression, and said in his heart: "When the Qin State attacked the Zhao State, sought to obtain the territory of the Zhao State, and killed the soldiers of the Zhao State, did you ever think that Qin and Zhao were the same ancestors. ”

Seeing that Feiyi didn't speak, King Zhao didn't dare to make his own decisions, and comforted: "The widow sympathizes with the experience of the Qin State, but the widow is too young to call the shots. ”

Wei Ran stimulated: "The king is the lord of a country, how can he not be the master." Why didn't the king make his words clear, because he didn't want to save the Qin State. ”

Zhao Wanghe was agitated by the other party's words, and he was indignant in his heart, but he knew how to restrain himself.

"My king is more than thirteen years old, and he has not yet reached the age of rule." Seeing this, Fei Yi fought back: "King Qin is over twenty-six years old and is also the lord of a country, and he has long passed the age of the ruler, how can he be the lord of Qin." ”

Wei Ran tried his best to restrain the dissatisfaction in his heart, he came to Zhao State to ask for help, so naturally he couldn't speak quickly. How could it be that in order to fight for a long time, the purpose of the envoy to Zhao was delayed.

Wei Ran apologized and said: "The foreign minister is concerned about the safety of the Qin State, he said nonsense, and asked the king to blame. ”

"We can understand that the Qin envoy is concerned about the safety of the Qin country." Fei Yi's words changed sharply, and he said coldly: "When Qin envoy speaks, you must pay attention to proportion. ”

Wei Ran naturally heard the subtext in Zhao Xiang's words, and said in a calm tone: "The foreign minister's words are abrupt, and please don't blame the king." ”

Zhao Wang He said: "This time, the widow will not care about the Qin envoy's heart for the sake of the Qin State. If there is a ...... next time"

"Minister, don't dare." Wei Ran said again: "If Lord Zhao's father returns, please let the king know." The foreign minister waited for news at the official post. ”

Fei Yi saw that the Qin envoy knew how to advance and retreat, and said with a smile: "Master Zhao is back, we will definitely transfer the words of the Qin envoy to Master Zhao." We will also definitely send someone to the official post to invite the Qin envoy. ”

"The minister retired." After a simple conversation, Wei Ran had already learned that King Zhao was young, and state affairs were decided by Lord Zhao's father. No matter what he said, King Zhao would not agree to send troops to help Qin. At this point, it is useless to talk too much, but it will bring humiliation on yourself. Wei Ran ended the topic appropriately and bowed away.

As soon as Wei Ran left the main hall, the State of Qi sent an envoy Tian Ying to the main hall of the State of Zhao.

Tian Ying saluted and said: "The foreign ministers came to Zhao State by the order of the King of Qi and invited Zhao State to join the princes and crusade against Qin. ”

As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, Fei Yi naturally knew the grievances and hatreds between the Qi State and the Qin State, so he pretended to be confused and said: "The Zhao State and the Qin State are on good terms, why do you want to attack the Qin State." ”

"The King of Qin deceived the state of Chu on the grounds of the alliance, which is unjust, and this crime is one; The king of Qin imprisoned the king of Chu and demanded territory, which was unkind and unfilial, and his methods were despicable, which was the second crime; The Qin people were tyrannical and oppressed the princes, the third crime; The king of Qin deceived the queen of Qin for disloyalty, this crime is four; The Qin people take pleasure in beheading and violate the wheel of heaven, which is the fifth crime. Tian Poppy scolded indignantly: "The king of Qin is disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, and immoral, and the Qin government is tyrannical, how can he not be killed." In order to maintain the righteousness of the world and seek justice for the world, the State of Qi called on the princes to join forces, support justice, and destroy the tyrannical Qin. ”

Tian Ying's list of the five major crimes of the Qin State did not get as expected, nor did it make the Zhao crowd angry. Tian Ying felt that his words and deeds were very decent, why would Zhao Ren be indifferent.

Fei Yi sent a thunderous applause and said, "The Qin State should indeed be fell. ”

Tian Yingxi said: "Zhao Guo promised to join forces with the princes to cut down Qin and correct the way of heaven. ”

Fei Yi sighed: "Although we have the heart to kill Qin, we are powerless. ”

Tian Ying's face sank and asked, "Zhao Xiang, what do you mean by this." ”

Fei Yi asked: "Does the ambassador still remember a few years ago, when the state of Chu was destroyed, he challenged the princes of the world and wanted to drink the Yellow River?" ”

The state of Chu died and challenged the princes of the world, wanting to set foot on the Central Plains, drink the Yellow River, and annex the world. In order to increase the chances of victory, the king of Chu sent Qu Yuan north to meet the Zhao state, and attacked the princes of the Central Plains from the north and south. Tian Ying, on the order of King Xuan of Qi, came to say that Zhao Jun joined the expedition to Chu.

How could Tian Ying forget these things, and said gratefully: "Thanks to Zhao Jun for guarding the northern gateway for the princes of the Central Plains. The princes of the Central Plains will not be attacked by the north and south of Beihu and Barbarian Chu, and they will die in the world. ”

Fei Yi said with a smile: "I still remember that the ambassador once said that the task of attacking Chu was entrusted to the Qi State, and the burden of resisting Beihu was entrusted to the Zhao State. ”

Tian Ying was a smart man, and quickly tasted the meaning of this sentence and asked: "Could it be that the Zhao State is unwilling to join the princes and crusade against the rebellious Qin State?" It is the bounden duty of every man to uphold the righteous path of the world. Zhao Guo, did you choose to sit idly by? ”

"It is the responsibility of every man to maintain the right path in the world and reshape the order of the princes in the world." Fei Yi's words changed, and he said: "Although Zhao has the heart to join forces with the princes to attack Qin, to defend the righteous path. However, the northern Xinjiang of Zhao is undecided, and he is also powerless. ”

Tian Ying snorted heavily and said: "Zhao Guochen settled the northern frontier, defeated Sanhu, and expanded the land for thousands of miles. Zhao Jun's great achievements far surpassed those of Jin Wen and Qi Heng, and it was passed down as a good story. Zhao Xiang said that Hu Jiang is undecided, this is unreasonable! ”

Fei Yi saw that Qi made it even more difficult to deal with than he imagined, "We are defeating Sanhu and expanding the land for thousands of miles." However, we have not settled on the northern frontier and eradicated the troubles. Donghu, Lou Fu and other Hu people have a great tendency to make a comeback. What should we do if we raise troops to attack Qin and go south from Beihu. ”

Tian Ying asked: "With Master Zhao's father here, how dare Beihu go south and herd horses." ”

Fei Yi sighed: "Master Zhao's father personally led his troops north to attack Hu because of Hu's troubles. The ambassador should be considerate of Zhao's difficulties. ”

Tian Ying said unhappily: "Could it be that the Zhao State wants to hand over the heavy responsibility of cutting Qin to the princes?" ”

Fei Yi hurriedly said: "The matter is big, and I want Master Zhao's father to adjudicate." ”

Tian Ying asked, "When will Master Zhao return?" ”

Fei Yi said embarrassedly: "Master Zhao's actions, how can I know." ”

Tian Ying said in a loud voice: "If Master Zhao doesn't return, won't he be able to maintain the righteousness of the world?" ”

Fei Yi's tone was soft, and he complimented: "Please also ask Qi Guo to take on the responsibility of supporting the right path." ”

Tian Ying looked at Zhao Wang He and asked, "King Zhao also means this, and he is unwilling to shoulder the righteous act of maintaining order in the world and exterminating the tyrannical Qin. ”

Zhao Wang He raised his voice and said: "It is the responsibility of every man to maintain order in the world. ”

Tian Ying asked: "King Zhao is the lord of Zhao Kingdom, can't he make a decision?" ”

King Zhao He replied pitifully: "The widow is young, and state affairs are decided by Lord Zhao's father. ”

Fei Yi said: "Master Zhao has been going to Northern Xinjiang for some time. According to the time calculation, go back to Handan. The ambassador may wish to rest at the official post, if Lord Zhao returns, we will send someone to inform you as soon as possible. ”

Tian Ying saw that King Zhao and Zhao Xiang had already said so, and there was no point in talking about it any longer. Master Zhao's father is not there, and Zhao Guo will not say whether to attack Qin or not.

"If Master Zhao doesn't return, wouldn't he not cut down Qin and take Kuang Zhengdao." Tian Ying let out a long sigh and spoke in a contemptuous tone, in a vain attempt to arouse the king's competitive heart.

Fei Yi couldn't let him succeed, and asked rhetorically: "If the king of Qi doesn't return from the tour, how dare Jing Guojun cut down Qin and take the right path." ”

Tian Ying heard the meaning of Zhao Xiang's words. If he couldn't control his emotions, he angered Zhao Guo. According to the character of Master Zhao's father, it is not necessary to help Qin attack the Qi State.

More than ten years ago, Zhao and Qin fought several wars and were defeated several times, and their national strength was greatly damaged. King Xuan of Qi raised the soldiers of the five capitals and the people of the north, and died in less than 60 days. Zhao Jun did not choose to recuperate, but did not hesitate to weaken the national strength, and even supported Yan Guo's proton son in Han to return to the country and succeed him as king.

The current Zhao State is no longer the Zhao State of more than ten years ago. The State of Qi really used force to impose persecution, and the State of Zhao would not only not join the princes to attack Qin, but would also choose to wage war against the State of Qi.

There is Yan in the north of Qi, Zhao in the west, and Chu in the south. The elite of the Qi State went out of Linzi to crusade against the Qin State, and if they started a war with the Zhao State at this time, it would naturally spoil the great plan of the Qi State.

Tian Ying was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, and hurriedly said: "I'll wait for Lord Zhao's father to return." ”

Tian Ying is also a temperamental person, so he didn't bow and turned around and left.

Seeing that Feiyi sent envoys from both sides, King Zhao asked, "Xiang Zhao, why did the Qi people list the five major crimes of the Qin State. ”

Fei Yi said: "If the teacher is famous, he will be right." ”

Zhao Wanghe asked: "Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help." Why don't we join the princes in attacking Qin? ”

Fei Yi smiled: "The task of the minister is to stabilize the envoys of both sides. Whether to kill Qin or save Qin, you have to discuss with Lord Zhao's father. Your Majesty, the matter of attacking should be carried out by the whole body, and you should not do it willfully. ”

Zhao Wanghe asked, "What does the monarch mean?" ”

"Minister, I don't know." Fei Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, let's go and ask Master Zhao's father, and we will know." ”

Zhao Wang He, Fei Yi, Li Dui, Lou Chuan and other important ministers came to the palace to meet Master Zhao's father.

Master Zhao listened to Zhao Wanghe's words, and said with a smile: "Feiyi, the widow didn't mistake you. ”

Zhao Wanghe asked, "Father, what do you mean by this?" ”

Master Zhao's father couldn't help laughing when he saw the child's expression. When everyone saw this, they also laughed.

Li Dui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Lord Zhao's father wants Zhao Xiang to fool the envoys of both sides, and then stabilize both sides. ”

"I see." Zhao Wang He finally understood why Zhao Xiang lied and said that Zhao's father was not in Handan.

Fei Yi complained: "Master Zhao doesn't know that the envoys of Qi and Qin are not easy to deal with. Next, what do we do. ”

"The three kingdoms of Qi, Han, and Wei invaded Qin. Both Qi and Qin sent envoys to Zhao for help. Are we saving Qin, or are we joining forces with the princes to defeat Qin. Master Zhao didn't give the ministers a chance to speak, and took the lead in expressing his attitude: "Qin State invited Lou to slow down as a prime minister, lonely, and plan to plan and learn more about Qin State." ”

Fei Yi guessed the mind of Master Zhao's father, and exclaimed: "Master father plans to go to Qin State. ”

"The states of Qin and Zhao have not been at war for more than ten years. How big the gap between the two countries is, Lone also wants to know. I don't know if the eagle warriors of Daqin are stronger, or the hundred gold warriors after the lonely Hufu cavalry shooting, they are better. ”

Everyone also wanted to know who was better against the Great Qin Ruishi.

"There will be a battle between Qin and Zhao sooner or later." In Lord Zhao's eyes, an unprecedented fighting spirit emerged, "Lone, I plan to go to the Qin State in person to understand this opponent." Qin can be warned, and the princes will be combined to cut Qin; Qin can't be bullied, so he will ally with it. ”
