The armies of Wei, Qi, Qin, Chu, and Yan went from Yecheng of Wei to Zhongmu, an important town of Zhao. The Zhao people once made the capital of the country Zhongmu, demonstrating their determination to go south and dominate the Central Plains. However, the Wei people didn't want to see the Zhao people stronger than themselves. Hoard heavy troops in Yecheng to block the Zhao people from moving south. Zhao's southward movement was blocked. Secondly, the land of Zhongmu is narrow and the traffic remains unchanged, and it is far away from Jinyang, the old capital of Zhao State, and Daijun in northern Xinjiang.

In 386 BC, after Zhao Jinghou Zhang succeeded to the throne, he saw the disadvantages of using Zhongmu as the national capital. He believes that Zhongmu is not suitable for the long-term stability of Zhao State, and it is close to Wei and Qi. In the same year, the national capital was moved to Handan, and Handan was planned to build Miyagi District and Dabei City District. When the armies of the five countries were far away from Zhongmu, the important town of Zhao State, there were still a hundred steps away. Dust and smoke rose in the territory of Zhao State. Waiting for the dust and smoke to dissipate, the soldiers of Zhao State are ready to come.

Seeing this, the Chu people stepped forward and asked, "I am ordered by the king of Chu to come to mourn your ancestors." What does this mean, you guys? ”

The Zhao general, who was the leader, said without changing his face: "On the order of Zhao Jun, come to greet you." ”

Chu envoy pointed to the soldiers behind General Zhao and said angrily: "You guys are ready to fight, isn't it the way to welcome guests." ”

"You are friends, and we will naturally greet you according to etiquette." General Zhao paused slightly and pressed the sword in his hand, "You are enemies, don't blame the three-foot long sword in my hand." ”

Chu envoy scolded angrily: "Is this how Zhao Jun treats the funeral people? This is also Zhao Guoli's number. ”

"I haven't seen a mourner carrying a murder weapon." General Zhao, reasonable and modest, replied in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "You are carrying weapons, all of you are strong, and you want to enter my Zhao country without spending a single soldier." I, Zhao Guo, am I so easy to bully? ”

"You." Chu was speechless and speechless.

Indeed, there is no one who attends a funeral and carries weapons.

Seeing that the envoys of the five countries did not speak, Zhao Jiang read out the instructions conveyed by Zhao Jun, "Anyone who enters the Zhao realm: first of all, you need to respect the laws of the Zhao country." Those who violate the laws of Zhao will be punished in accordance with the laws of Zhao State. Secondly, those who enter Zhao are not allowed to carry murder weapons. Those who refuse to put down their weapons are regarded as declaring war with Zhao. Although Zhao is weak, he will definitely fight with the strength of the whole country. Third, those who enter the territory of Zhao need to travel according to the route designated by Zhao State, change the route at will, and those who harass our people will be killed. ”

Seeing Zhao Guo's attitude, the Wei envoy reversed and couldn't make up his mind. So, he asked in a low voice, "General Gongsun, what should we do?" ”

Gongsun Yan has not yet spoken. Qi envoy, one step ahead, stimulated the nerves of the Wei people, "Yes! General Gongsun, what should we do? Otherwise, we will lay down our weapons and enter the country of Zhao with our bare hands. Let Zhao Guoren bully. ”

Yan envoy also said: "General Gongsun, you are the initiator of this plan, can you come up with a good idea." ”

The Qin envoy said in a somewhat mocking tone: "General Gongsun is a rare general today. The Duke of Qin, often facing the courtiers of the Qin State in Xianyang Palace, praised General Gongsun's Wentao and martial arts. General Gongsun, you might as well come up with a strategy to lead my Qin people and recover the land west of the river and attack the Zhao State. ”

The Battle of Hexi was fought by Gongsun Yan under the command of the Qin army against the Wei state. In this battle, the Wei state was defeated, and the Wei general Long Jia was captured. The Wei State not only lost the land west of the river, but also the fortress east of the river was also occupied by the Qin. The Qin army occupies the danger of the mountain and the solidity of the valley, and completely controls the moat of the Yellow River, which can be attacked and defended.

This is the shame of the Wei State, how can the Wei envoy forget. Today, when the Qin envoy said this, after the Wei envoy heard this, he was unhappy in his heart, and said angrily: "You, what do you mean." ”

Qin envoy said, "What do I mean? Didn't I understand enough? By the way, I'm a rough person, and I don't know how to be elegant. Wei Envoy didn't understand, and it wasn't surprising. ”

"You—" Wei's beard trembled.

Qin Envoy was reluctant to engage in a war of words with Wei Envoy, and his purpose of speaking was achieved. There is no point in dwelling on it. It's better to quietly take a look at the generals in Qin Gongying's mouth, how to deal with the sudden situation. The ambassadors of Qi, Qin, Yan, Chu and other countries were not so much quietly waiting for Gongsun Yan to have a surprise plan, but rather waiting for the Wei people to make a fool of themselves.

Faced with the sudden situation, Gongsun Yan immediately made a decision, raised his left hand, and pressed it forward. The soldiers of the five countries, carrying their blades, stepped forward in unison. The situation in front of him was complicated, but Gongsun Yan's mind remained calm. He bet that Zhao was not ready to go to war with the Five Kingdoms. Zhao Guo is also incapable of challenging the Five Kingdoms. Zhao Ren's abnormal behavior is just a final struggle.

Gongsun Yan asked the soldiers to move forward as a team, first to test the bottom line of Zhao Guo, to what extent. Second, he is confident that the current situation is completely in his hands.

Seeing this, the Wei envoy secretly reminded: "General Gongsun, the minister of state has explained, it is best not to start a war with Zhao." Isn't this move competing with Zhao Ren? ”

Gongsun Yan, in his eyes, showed confidence, "I have my own opinions." ”

Gongsun Yan faced the opponent, it was Zhao Jianglou slow. Lou Xuan has the blood of the Hu people flowing in his body, and he has no fear of the powerful lineup of the five countries. He saw that the soldiers of the five countries were ready to arrive, their right hands raised above their heads, ready to meet the enemy at any time. The soldiers of Zhao State, bending their bows and arrows, waited for the general to give the final order. As long as Lou slowly gestured forward, the arrow flew away from the string.

The blue sky has long been covered by thick dark clouds. The air around them was also filled with the smell of death.

Lou slowed down, pressing the hilt of the sword with one hand, trying to keep his mind clear with pain. If the armies of the five countries do not enter the Zhao realm, he will not give the final order. Seeing that the Five Nations Alliance was still ten arrows away from Zhao Realm, he was already sweating. He asked, is it really unavoidable?

War is on the verge of breaking out, and tensions are raging on both sides. The ambassadors of the five countries were also anxious. The monarchs of the five countries just issued an order to 'wait for the opportunity to attack Zhao in the name of the funeral', but if they really want to go to war, I am afraid they will have to send someone back to report to the monarch. Just because these soldiers came to Zhao in the name of burial. How can they be in armor and well armoured? Not to mention, Zhao has no ability to fight against the Five Kingdoms. But they understood that in the war with the Zhao State, these soldiers must be the first to bear the brunt.

Leaving the land of the three arrows of Zhao State, Gongsun Yan raised his right hand and shouted, "Stop." ”

The scouts ran to each other, shouting, "Stop, stop." ”

The five-nation coalition forces stopped their pace and waited for Gongsun Yanxin's battle order.

The ambassadors of the five countries lifted their long sleeves to wipe the beads of sweat from their foreheads.

Lou slowly saw the Five Nations Alliance, stopped, and breathed a sigh of relief. When the new Junyong took him as his general and went to meet the funeral procession. Before leaving, Lou asked slowly: "Your Majesty, the alliance of the five nations, do not lay down your arms and enter our country." I should have a choice. ”

Zhao Yong replied decisively: "Go to war." ”

Lou slowed, and his heart tightened. He was not afraid of war, nor was he afraid of death. But he felt that the monarch's move was a bit risky. With the power of one country, against five countries. If you don't have the certainty of victory, you can't go to war so easily. Once the war began, Zhao was the enemy of the princes of the Central Plains. Junshang, you can really withstand strong pressure. Or is it that the king is young and vigorous, and he does not hesitate to make enemies with the princes in order to fight for a breath. The gentleman in front of him, does he have the courage and courage of the first gentleman.

Lou was shocked in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he even swallowed a few mouthfuls of spittle, and his words were not modified, "Monarch, it's too risky." ”

Zhao Yong asked, "Now, is there a better way?" ”

Lou slowly couldn't answer.

"I'm gambling too." Zhao Yong, took two steps forward, took a deep breath, "Bet, Zhao Guo's national fortune." ”

The setting sun sets into the mountain stream, taking away the last afterglow of the earth. The night once again covered the earth. In the Zhao Palace, it was brightly lit. Zhao Yong was in the palace, walking back and forth anxiously. The darkness of the night made him feel worried. There has been no news from the front, which makes him anxious.

Fei Yi got up and said goodbye: "Your Majesty, it's dark, Rong Chen and others, retire." ”

Zhao Yong said: "Don't go." ”

Li Dui, figuring out the thoughts of the king, saw his youthful nature, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there is no war in the territory of Zhao State. Otherwise, how could the night of Zhao Kingdom be so quiet. ”

Zhao Yong needs people to rely on to gather around him in order to be full of fighting spirit. Suddenly, he was a little uncomfortable with the length of the night. Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside the hall. Zhao Yong asked, "Is there any news?" ”

The comer said: "Back to the king, there is no news yet." ”

Zhao Yong's expression was extremely lonely. If it weren't for the minister's obstruction, he would have wanted to go to the border to find out for himself. After all, it is a young man's nature, and waiting for news in the palace is extremely tormenting for him. It is related to the fortunes of Zhao Guo, and Zhao Yong's mood is more dignified than anyone else. If the plan is slightly worse, the foundation that Zhao Guo has won so hard will be defeated in his hands. He will be like Di Xin, causing criticism from future generations, and even leaving a stench for 10,000 years.

Fei Yi saw that Junshan was anxious, and comforted: "Junshan, you can wait for the news with peace of mind." General Lou Chuan is intelligent, good at words, proficient in diplomacy, and understands force. Your Majesty, send him to meet the funeral procession of the Five Kingdoms, what else is there to worry about. ”

Li Dui also said in his heart? Xinjun, how much you can't hold back your temperament!

Lou Zhuan is a person, Zhao Yong once heard Zhao Suhou say. Zhao Suhou's evaluation of him is that he can be civil and martial, has a strategy, and can be the appearance of a county. However, the only drawback is that the personality is unruly and difficult to control. The candidates for the funerals of the five parliaments can be the top priority. Zhao Yong chooses, and the building is slow. First, Feiyi is recommended. Secondly, Zhao Suhou's evaluation. Of course? Loyalty is Zhao Yong's first consideration.

Lou is slow, strategic, capable of literature and martial arts, but has nothing to do with the clan, and is indeed the best candidate. If you choose the people of the clan, they will betray the interests of the Zhao State for their own selfish interests and make peace with the enemy in private. When the national crisis is at hand, what is needed most is people who are loyal to the king. Zhao Yong eliminated all difficulties, took Lou Yan as the general, and went to entertain uninvited guests.

The fate of Zhao Guo is a big gamble for the new Junyong. If he wins, he will keep the foundation of Zhao State and the prestige of Zhao Suhou during his lifetime. If he is defeated, he will never recover. Gambling on national fortune is also gambling on life.
