In the two battles of Maling and Guilin, the Qi general Tian Ji and the military advisor Sun Bin defeated the Wei State and laid the hegemony of the Qi State. Tian Ji defeated the Wei State and became famous among the princes, but at the same time, because of his high merits, he threatened the position of Tian Yinqi, the king of Qiwei. In order to protect his rights, Tian Yinqi had murderous intent against Tian Ji. Tian Ji saw that the king was so suspicious, and he didn't want to send troops to Linzi. In order to prove his loyalty, Tian Ji left the Qi State and went into exile in the Chu State.

Sun Bin also hated the life of deceit, swords and swords, and chose to hide in the mountains and forests. Sun Bin wrote his lifelong experience of fighting into a military book. This book of war is Sun Bin's Art of War.

Sun Bin divides the battle formation into ten formations, namely: square, circle, hook line, Xuanxiang, sparse, number, water, fire, long snake and Big Dipper Seven Star Array.

It is said that the Yellow Emperor vs. the Yan Emperor used the Big Dipper Seven Star Array.

These 10 formations, of which the water and fire formations are special tactics, and they should be flexibly used according to specific conditions. In the past, the Zhi clan united Han and Wei to attack the Zhao clan's Jinyang, which was to use the water array. Zhao Suhou also used the water array to repel the Wei and Qi coalition forces. The two formations of water and fire are highly lethal and can easily injure innocents, resulting in the destruction of human beings. Therefore, the children of the military family choose to use it with caution.

Among the ten formations, the most commonly used are the three formations of square, circle, and cone.

The cone formation is the main attack, the circle is the main defense, and the phalanx is both offensive and defensive.

Wu Qi reformed the military system of the Wei State and trained the Wei soldiers on the basis of the infantry system. Wu Qi used the Wei Wu phalanx to defeat the Qin state, which was several times larger. Especially in the Battle of Hexi, Wu Qi defeated hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Qin State with tens of thousands of Wei warriors, creating a classic battle of winning more with less, thus making him famous and famous among the princes.

Wu started the first war, left a name in history, and became a generation of famous generals.

Phalanx and Circle Formations are not suitable for Iron Cavalry. However, if the two formations of Yanxing Formation and Cone Formation can be reasonably used in the iron cavalry, how could the iron cavalry of Zhao State not be able to shock the Central Plains and be famous all over the world. Zhao Yong saw that because of a chance encounter, the Sima Wang clan was able to use the Yanxing array and the conical array freely, and knew the advantages and disadvantages of the two formations. If Zhao can control the strings, the number of soldiers will reach 200,000, and there will be the assistance of the soldiers and the art of war created by the military saints of the past dynasties. The world is unified, and how can it not be returned to Zhao.

The world is unified, and the country is won. Zhao Yong will also create unprecedented achievements.

At this time, the news of Lou Chuan and Le Yi's return to Zhao reached Zhao Yong's ears. Regarding the training of iron cavalry in the Hanshan camp, Zhao Yong handed it over to Zhao Yuan and Xu Jun, and asked Sima Wang to come over from time to time to discuss the formation of soldiers with these two. Zhao Yong led everyone back to Handan Congtai Palace. On the way, Prince Zhang asked, "Father, Uncle Sima is so powerful." ”

Zhao Yong saw that Prince Zhang's eyes were full of respect, and said with a smile: "Zhang'er, you finally understand the hard work of the monarch's father. ”

When Prince Zhang heard this, he suddenly realized. At this moment, he gradually understood why his father set out to command the Chinese army when he set out to conquer Zhongshan. Why did he let Sima Wangzu assist him, and told him many times to study hard with Sima Wang. Prince Zhang thought that his father's intention was to familiarize himself with the battle formation, and go out to see and experience it. In addition, he can command the army alone and establish his prestige. Now it seems that Zhao Yong's arrangement has a deeper intention.

Prince Zhang originally thought that Sima Wangzu, Mu Jian and others were the companions of Jun's father when he was a child. The monarch's father was like a brother to them, also because of the friendship when he was a child. Mu Jian was able to become Zhongzheng, and Sima Wang's family was able to become a palace guard, all because of the merits of the monarch's father. The Northern Expedition to Zhongshan won a great victory, and Prince Zhang realized that he was wrong.

Mu Jian and Sima Wang have outstanding features. Mu Jian is good at wandering inside and outside the court, and the Sima Wang clan has the style of a famous general.

After the Northern Expedition to Zhongshan, after a great victory. With the permission of Zhao Yong, Prince Zhang often came to the military camp to exercise. Occasionally, the prince would hear the soldiers talk about the heroic deeds of the Sima Wang clan. For example, the Yan State invaded the northern frontier of the Zhao State in the south, and the Yan and Zhao battlefields were deadlocked. At this time, a red-robed young general rode a horse, led twenty-eight horsemen, and approached the position of the commander of the Yan army, bravely won the banner of the Yan army, and reversed the situation on the battlefield.

How did the Sima Wang clan use the battle array to defeat the Linhu people and capture the Linhu king alive. Today, Prince Zhang witnessed with his own eyes that the Sima Wang clan was arrayed, and the whole person was shocked. Prince Zhang had a new definition and understanding of the Sima Wang clan.

Prince Zhang suddenly understood the intention of the monarch's father to hand him over to the Sima Wang clan. In addition to the strong friendship with the Sima Wang clan. That is, Sima Wang's family is a trustworthy and entrusted person. Such a loyal monarch, a person who is affectionate, and understands the battle array, is worthy of Zhao Yong's entrustment, and is even more worthy of the trust of the crown prince.

Seeing his father's kind eyes, Prince Zhang said respectfully: "The child understands his father's good intentions. ”

Zhao Yong nodded and said with a smile: "It's good that you know." ”

Prince Zhang Zhengse said: "Father, the child will learn the policy of governing the country, and will also learn the way to use soldiers. The child will not live up to his father, and he will not live up to the wisdom of his ancestors. The child will lead the country of Zhao to a strong state. Order the princes and nations to come to Handan to worship. ”

"My son's words are deeply gratifying to my father." Zhao Yong was talking to Prince Zhang while looking at Handan City, which was getting closer and closer. This city wall has witnessed the vicissitudes of history and the rise of the Zhao family. Zhao's Handan, it entrusts the dream of the monarch of Zhao to enrich the country and strengthen the army, go south to fight for hegemony, and conquer the Central Plains.

At this moment, Zhao's dream and Zhao Yong's dream are gradually realized here. Handan will also witness Zhao's dream, which will eventually come.

Zhao Yong returned to Handan and met with Lou Huan and Le Yi, who had returned from the Qin State, at Congtai Palace.

Lou Xuan and Le Yi replied: "Your Excellency, the minister will not disgrace his mission." ”

Zhao Yong saw that the demeanor of the two was still the same, and laughed: "This time, the success of intervening in the Qin State is due to the two of them. ”

"It's not my work." Lou Xuan and Le Yi did not take credit, and said in unison: "They are all blessed by the king, and the ancestors of the Zhao family are blessed." ”

"Lou Xuan, Le Yi, the widow really didn't misunderstand you. Courageous and wise, full of strategy, and not greedy for fame. How fortunate it is for a widow to have you two. Zhao Yong said in unison to the people around him: "How fortunate it is to have you by your side." I hope that in the lifetime of the widow, Zhao can be established in a strong state. The sword points to the Central Plains and stands out from the crowd. ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "The ministers are willing to serve the king and swear to follow the king." ”

The Northern Expedition to Zhongshan and the Western Expedition to the Qin State. A few years ago, Zhao Guojunchen didn't dare to think about it. Zhao Yongxing's courage and courage in pushing horses and shooting deeply influenced and changed a generation of Zhao people. Zhao Yong has also become the spiritual pillar of Zhao State, and no one can shake it. One day, under the leadership of Zhao Jun, Zhao destroyed Zhongshan, attacked Sanhu, opened up Hudi, and became the overlord of the north. One day, Zhao will be able to point to the Central Plains and fight for the world.

Zhao Yong asked: "The matter of meddling in Qin's internal affairs has come to an end. What will happen next? ”

Fei Yi took the lead and said: "According to the scout, the report came. Qi withdrew its troops privately, and Han and Wei did not like it. Qi Wang Tian Biqi wanted to command Han and Wei to continue to attack Chu. Han and Wei ignored it and concluded an alliance with Chu. Although Tian Biyi, the king of Qi, wanted to attack Chu, he had no choice but to conclude an alliance with Chu. Qi, Han, Wei and Chu will strike the war, and the world will return to tranquility. ”

"Qi State withdrew its troops and ceased the war without permission, just to interfere in Zhongshan's internal affairs." Tian Buli sighed: "It's a pity! We chose to negotiate peace with Zhongshan, which also frustrated King Qi's plan. We didn't give King Qi a chance to take revenge. King Qi's face at this moment must be ugly. ”

When everyone saw what Tian Buli said, they burst into laughter.

"The king of Qi wants to attack both the state of Chu and the state of Zhao. However, the widow did not give King Qi this opportunity. Now, because the king of Qi withdrew his troops without permission, Han and Wei were disliked. The king of Chu did not like it. The widow does not like it. The king of Qi was treacherous, and no prince would like him. Zhao Yong snorted coldly and said with a smile: "King Qi is confident that he can control the overall situation and control the world. King Qi was self-righteous and stubborn, which led to such an embarrassing situation. ”

Zhao Yong let out a heavy breath and sighed: "In the world in front of you, it doesn't matter what the Three Jin Dynasty said, it doesn't count what Qi, Chu, and Qin said, the world is jointly decided by the princes." Whoever dares to break this balance will be attacked by the princes. Qi Wang Tian Pibi didn't understand this truth, overestimated the strength of Qi State, and didn't take the princes in his eyes. led to a good situation and ruined in one fell swoop. ”

Li Dui said: "Qi, Han, Wei and Chu have concluded an alliance, and the world will return to tranquility. ”

Fei Yi replied: "The power of the Chu State is eyeing the princes of the Central Plains. Once the state of Chu stabilized the internal situation, it would launch a new round of attacks on the princes of the Central Plains. There will be no real peace between the three kingdoms of Qi, Han, Wei, and Chu. ”

"Xiangbang is right." Tian Buli continued: "Even if the Chu State wants to keep peace with the princes of the Central Plains and release goodwill. But the princes of the Central Plains disdained to be in the company of Chu, let alone let Chu continue to be strong. Once the time is ripe, the princes of the Central Plains will unite to attack the Chu State. ”

Lou Xuan also said: "Gongzi Ji is often proud of his father's and brother's great deeds. When Gongzi Ji became the king of Qin, he had to prove to the subjects of Qin that he was the lord of Qin chosen by God. Qin Wangji wants to sit firmly in the country, and to inherit the great cause of his father and brother, he must use troops against the princes and expand the territory. Even if the princes of the Central Plains and the state of Chu wanted peace, the state of Qin would break the peace. ”

Zhao Yong asked, "Lou slow, that's a good point." Although Gongziji is the king of Qin, the subjects of Qin will not be convinced. If Gongziji wants to prove himself, he must let the subjects of Qin State see that he is the pride of the sky. Even if the princes wanted peace, Qin Wangji didn't want to. In order to prove himself, Qin Wangji needs to raise his authority among the princes. Qin Wangji needs a big victory to prove himself and at the same time to deter people with ulterior motives in the country. This peace will not be long. ”

Fei Yi replied: "What means will Qin Wangji use to maintain his position?" How will he prove that he is the king's command. ”

"Qin Wangji's father and brother are both people who can fight well. King Hui of Qin and King Wu of Qin opened up their territory and conquered the princes, so that their subjects loyally supported them. Lou replied slowly: "Although Qin Wangji is a virtuous person, he is not as good as the great cause created by his father and brother after all. Qin Wangji faced the great cause of his father and brother, and he had a long and arduous road to go. Once Qin Wangji takes a wrong step, he will lose everything. ”

Zhao Yong asked: "Lou Zhuan, do you think that Qin Wangji will fight steadily and steadily, and will not be in a hurry to win." ”

"Gongziji doesn't dare to lose, and he can't afford to lose. We support Gongzi Ji as the king, and Mi Bazi and others will definitely not be convinced. The reason why the Qin State accepted the emperor's opinion was because they saw that refusal would bring disaster to the Qin State. Lou slowly groaned a little, and said: "Qin's internal turmoil has greatly damaged the national strength. Once he refuses to support Gongziji, it is tantamount to a war with Yan and Zhao. ”

Zhao Yong was sure that the Qin State would not dare to go to war with Yan and Zhao, so he was full of confidence to interfere in Qin's internal affairs. The Qin State has been in turmoil for three years, and the people's hearts are not aligned, how can they start a war with the princes. If Mi Bazi insists on doing so, waiting for her and the end of the Qin State will be destruction.

Fei Yi saw that Le Yi was silent on the side, and asked, "Ten years ago, General Le Chi escorted Gongzi back to Yan from South Korea. Ten years later, General Le Yi escorted Gongzi Ji from Yan back to Qin. How the situation in Qin will develop at the moment, I don't know what General Le thinks. ”

Le Yi saw that Fei Yi noticed him, and Zhao Jun's eyes also looked at him, and replied: "Our country's seizure of Hexi and Henan has caused a overwhelming situation on the Qin State. The state of Chu destroyed the state of Yue, and if it could not go north, it would choose to go west. The virtuous and capable people of the Qin State naturally understood that with the current strength of the Qin State, they could not deal with Zhao and Chu in the north and south. ”

Sima Wangzu asked, "What General Le means is that the Qin State will divide the alliance between Zhao and Chu. ”

"Zhao and Chu, one north and one south, attacked Qin. It seriously threatened the security of the Qin State. Le Yi said: "In order to remove this threat, Qin State will definitely find a way to separate Chu and Zhao." Han and Wei formed an alliance with the state of Qi. An attack by Qin against either Han or Wei would lead to a group attack by the princes. The best way for Qin is to befriend the princes first, stabilize internal affairs, and wait for an opportunity. ”

Lou replied slowly: "Gongzi Ji is an adult. I will make friends with the princes. Mi Bazi is a Chu person, and he will naturally have a friendship with the Chu State. ”

Le Yi answered: "The State of Qin will first make friends with the State of Chu, and then it will be allied with Han and Wei. When the Qin State stabilized its internal affairs, it would attack the princes. Qin would not choose to go to war with Zhao and Qi. Then, Han, Wei and Chu will be in danger! ”

Li Dui continued: "No matter which side of Han, Wei, and Chu is at a disadvantage, Qin will attack the weaker side for profit. This step taken by Qin Guo is indeed a good move. ”

Sima Wangzu asked, "The state of Chu is already powerful, and it has a territorial dispute with the state of Qin. If the state of Chu and the state of Qin marry, it will increase the jealousy of the princes. The king of Chu will agree to Qin's request. ”

"Yes." Zhao Yong's tone was firm, "The friendship between the Chu State and the Qin State is also the best way to break through the threat of the Central Plains princes. At the moment, the King of Chu has no other choice. ”

"If Qin and Chu form an alliance, the King of Qi will be worried. In this way, a big war is inevitable! The state of Chu will again become the target of a joint attack by the princes. Fei Yi said with a smile: "Once the Qin State betrays the alliance, the Chu State will start a full-scale war with the princes." Your Majesty, I have a little sympathy for King Chu. ”

"The Central Plains are in contention, and the widows will not participate, let alone get caught up in it. The attention of the widow is still in Zhongshan country. Before the destruction of Zhongshan, the widow will never interfere in the affairs of the Central Plains. For now, there will be a brief peace in the world. We are also recuperating and developing our national strength. Once, the Central Plains is in turmoil, we will start a war with the Zhongshan Kingdom. Zhao Yong's eyes were bright, and he said sharply: "The original intention will not change, and I will destroy Zhongshan"
