Zhao Yong succeeded to the throne, regardless of the weakness of the country, and broke the plan of the funeral of the five countries. The monarchs of Zhao believed that the king's actions would undoubtedly bury the wisdom of the Zhao family.

Zhao Yong chased the Central Plains, competed with the princes, and was defeated. The princes of the Central Plains are all called the royal road and compete for hegemony. Zhao Yong went the other way, issued an edict against himself, and demoted him to the king. The monarchs and ministers of Zhao Guo thought that the king's actions were cowardly and absurd acts.

Zhao Yong promoted the Hu costume to ride and shoot to learn from the Northern Hu, and the monarchs and ministers of Zhao thought that the monarch disregarded etiquette, broke the world, and learned from the Hu people, which was terminally ill. Under the leadership of the king, Zhao will enter the abyss from which there will be no return.

After Zhao Guo implemented Hufu cavalry shooting, he attacked Zhongshan several times, and Zhongshan was powerless to fight back. Of the 800 miles of territory of Zhongshan Kingdom, less than 200 miles remain. Cross the river to the west and recover the old place west of the river. went north to attack Linhu, and the king of Linhu offered his horse to sue for peace; Zhao took advantage of the civil strife in Qin to support Gongzi Ji, who was hostage in Yan State, to return to China as king and meddle in Qin's internal affairs. The effect of Hufu riding and archery is far less than this. Zhao also attacked Sanhu, settled the northern frontier, and opened up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The footprints of the Zhao people have traveled all over the north and south of Daqing Mountain.

Hit Sanhu, settle the northern Xinjiang, and open up thousands of miles of Hujiang. The Chinese monarch is only Zhao Yong. Zhao Yong's name resounded among the Chinese princes. Hufu riding and shooting has become the memory of this generation. It also inspires aspiring men to establish great achievements and open up Hujiang.

Zhao Yong caught the ministers of Zhao off guard again and again. At the same time, it brought one unexpected surprise after another to the ministers of Zhao State.

The ministers and people of Zhao State never thought of it. It took Zhao Jun more than 20 years for Zhao to move from a country that was bullied and weak by the princes to a strong and prosperous state.

Today, the territory of Zhao is far superior to that of Han Wei, surpassing Qi and Qin, and ranking second among the princes. Zhao's military strength was also far superior to that of Han Wei, and it was not even weaker than Qi and Chu. How strong is Zhao Guo after Hu Fu cavalry shooting, this is also the doubt in the hearts of Zhao Guojun's ministers.

The great achievements established by Zhao Yong made the subjects of Zhao State worship and respect. Zhao Yong also became the spiritual leader who united the subjects of Zhao and the people of Beihu.

Prince Zhang was deposed, Zhao Yong abdicated in his prime, and Gongzi He succeeded to the throne, this alternation of power between the old and the new, and there was no bloodshed and sacrifice. On the contrary, the state of Zhao alternated power and was full of peace.

Although the subjects of Zhao did not understand why the monarch chose to abdicate in the prime of life. However, the subjects of Zhao believed that the abdication of the monarch would lead Zhao to a new peak.

The subjects of Zhao and the people of Beihu are looking forward to the early arrival of the era that belongs to Zhao. The succession of Gongzi He also marked the official title of Zhao State as king to fight for the world. This is of epoch-making significance to Zhao Guo.

Zhao Yong's abdication did not shed blood and sacrifice, nor did it cause an uncontrollable situation. Zhao was in power, quiet and peaceful for half a month.

After Zhao Yong's abdication, he lived in another palace. Zhao Yong's major affairs, such as the appointment and dismissal of officials, are still adjudicated by Zhao Yong. On this day, Zhao Yong was in another palace, dealing with government affairs. A eunuch came anxiously and said, "Lord, the king has come up." ”

Zhao Yong put down the government affairs in his hand and said with a smile: "Wang Er is here, please hurry." ”

Not long after, Zhao Wanghe, Zhao Xiangfeiyi, Dasi Kou Gongzicheng, Zuo Si Kou Li Dui, Right Si Kou Tian Buli and others walked into the palace.

Zhao Wang He bowed and saluted: "Son, please meet the master father." ”

The ministers also said in unison: "Ministers, please meet the master father." ”

"Wang'er, don't be polite." Zhao Yong raised his hand to the people around him again, "Everyone, please get up." ”

Zhao He got up and said, "Thank you, master." ”

The ministers also said in unison: "Thank you, master." ”

After everyone was seated, Zhao Wanghe took the lead in speaking: "The child received a document from the Qi country, please ask the master father to take a look. ”

Zhao He took out a letter of state from his sleeve and handed it to the eunuchs beside him. The eunuch took the letter of state, quickly came to Zhao Yong, and bowed. Zhao Yong took the letter of state, looked at it, and said with a hearty smile on the corner of his lips: "Zhongshan Wang Zike died in Qi country, this is really great news for my country." ”

Zhao He was overjoyed when he saw his master's father, and asked, "Master's father, Zhongshan Wang Zike died in Qi Kingdom." Next, what do we do. ”

Zhao Yong's eyes scanned the people in the hall: "We give Zhongshan a big gift." ”

Gongzicheng asked, "Master, what does this mean?" Minister, I don't understand. ”

Zhao Yong said sonorously and forcefully: "Zhongshan Wang Zike died in Qi State, Zhongshan Country has no owner, it is the time for us to send troops to attack Zhongshan." ”

Tian Buli catered to him: "We have been fighting with Zhongshan for a few years, and we can finally step on Lingshou and level Zhongshan." ”

Fei Yi also said: "On this day, the minister has finally waited." ”

Li Dui also said: "Swing down Zhongshan." ”

Zhao He was also rendered by everyone's expressions, and shouted: "Horse stepping on Lingshou, swinging Zhongshan." ”

The next day, a grand court meeting was held in Congtai Palace. Zhao He issued an order to attack Zhongshan.

Another day later, Zhao He walked out of the hall, inspected the soldiers of the three armies of Zhao State, raised his arms and shouted: "Horse step on Lingshou and attack Zhongshan." ”

"Ma Ta Lingshou, attack Zhongshan." The officers and men of the three armies of Zhao State made a sound of overwhelming mountains and seas, breaking through the sky.

Zhao He came to Zhao Yong and saluted: "Master father works hard. ”

Zhao Yong took a few steps forward, his right arm raised.

When the officers and men of the three armies saw that the master father appeared in everyone's field of vision, they were angry and high-spirited, and shouted in unison: "Long live Zhao Guo, long live the master father." ”

Zhao Yong pulled out his sword, fierce and fierce, and shouted: "Horse stepping on Lingshou, leveling Zhongshan." ”

"Horses step on Lingshou and level Zhongshan." The voices of hundreds of thousands of people permeated Handan and resounded in the sky.

"Expedition." Zhao Yong held a swearing-in meeting, led 70,000 Zhao iron cavalry, 30,000 foot soldiers, and made a mighty expedition to Zhongshan in the north.

Zhao He stood in the Handan City Tower, watching Zhao Guo's mighty army disappear on the horizon. Zhao Hexin said: "When will the widow be able to look at his father and brother at a glance, conquer the battlefield, and compete for the Central Plains." ”

At this time, a fast horse, with a black flag behind his back, galloped into Lingshou. This is the scout of Zhongshan Kingdom, who found out the news of Zhao Guo's expedition, and rushed back to Lingshou day and night. The news that Zhao's 100,000-strong army had set out to conquer Zhongshan quickly spread throughout Lingshou.

When Shang Shang, the son of Zhongshan Kingdom, who acted as the king, heard this, his face changed suddenly, his breath was short, and he asked: "Zhao Guo is coming back to attack me, what can I do." ”

The ministers suddenly heard that Zhao sent 100,000 troops to reattack Zhongshan, and their liver and gallbladder were broken. The courtiers in the main hall were in chaos in an instant.

Seeing this, Gongzi Shang said angrily: "Zhao Guo is coming, and we will fight it." How can we fall into the ambition of the mountain boy? ”

Gongzi Shang's words did not suppress the chaotic courtiers. On the contrary, the situation in the main hall is uncontrollable. Wave after wave of voices of surrender began to permeate the main hall.

Gongzi Shang kicked Fei Fei Ji and said angrily: "The king handed over the Zhongshan Kingdom to me with full responsibility. Zhongshan is up to me. Zhao sent troops to attack me, and I will never ask for surrender. As the saying goes, in the current national crisis, loyal people are needed. If anyone asks to surrender without a fight, don't blame me for the ruthlessness of the three-foot long sword in my hand. ”

In order to suppress these ministers who asked to surrender and stabilize the situation. Gongzi Shang pulled out his long sword and said sharply, "Someone is coming." ”

Groups of armor-clad guards poured out from both sides of the hall, drew their long swords, and pointed them at the minister. These guards are all loyal to Gongzishang, as long as Gongzishang gives an order. The long swords in the hands of these guards will slay these ministers who have asked to surrender.

The guards shouted murderously, "Kill, kill, kill." ”

The courtiers in the main hall saw that Gongzi Shang was murderous, trembling, and did not say a word.

Gongzi Shang withdrew the long sword from the scabbard and said coldly: "You are afraid of the Zhao people, but I am not afraid. If you are afraid of death, you can leave on your own. If there are people who disturb the hearts of our army and spread the fallacy of asking for surrender. Hugh blames me for the three-foot sword in my hand. ”

The guard also retracted the sword into its scabbard.

Gongzi Shang looked at the pale minister, his eyes were full of disdain, "Zhao Guo attacked me, what should I do." ”

The ministers said in unison: "It is better to have broken jade than to be complete." ”

"Okay." Gongzi's blood surged upward, and he shouted: "We will fight with the Zhao people to the end." ”

Gongzi still stabilized the courtiers, while repairing the city, increasing the city defense, mobilizing all the forces that could counterattack in Zhongshan, and actively preparing for war. On the other hand, they are looking for ways to save the country.

In the past few years, Zhongshan and Zhao have fought against each other, losing consecutive battles and damaging a lot of military strength. This time, Zhao raised 100,000 troops to the northern expedition to Zhongshan. The strength of Zhongshan that can fight is less than 60,000. In the face of the 100,000 army of Zhao, Zhongshan was more than lucky.

However, the son is still a seven-foot man, how can he send away the territory laid by his ancestors. Even if he dies on the battlefield, he lives up to the man's body.

Gongzi Shang thought that his family and country would be broken, so he came to the temple alone, facing the ancestral spiritual position, and wept bitterly, "Zhao is going to die in my society, please give me the strength of the ancestors to turn the tide." ”

Gongzi still cried bitterly for a long time before leaving the temple.

Gongzi Shang looked at the bleak clouds above Lingshou, and said in his heart: "Could it be that the number of Zhongshan Qi has been exhausted, and the sky is going to kill me." ”

At this time, a person appeared in Gongzishang's mind. This person is the Minister of State Sima Xi.

Gongzishang walked quickly to Sima Xi's mansion, wept bitterly and said, "Please Sima Xiang save me." ”

Sima Xi was seriously ill, his expression gradually deteriorated, and he said weakly: "Childe, if I don't save Zhongshan, I'm really powerless!" ”

When Gongzi Shang heard this, he chuckled in his heart and cried: "Is it true that Zhao Guo wants to destroy my Zhongshan." ”

Sima Xi coughed heavily, and said in a weak voice: "The assassination of Meng Yao is to mess with Zhao Jun's mind. Zhao Jun was in chaos, so he would not have made an order to attack Zhongshan. We have used this time to straighten out our military horses and accumulate national strength. Use the vision of heaven to provoke the relationship between Zhao Jun and the crown prince in order to achieve chaos in the Zhao dynasty. Thousands of calculations, but I forgot what kind of person Zhao Jun is. ”

Gongzi Shang said gratefully: "If it weren't for Sima Xiang's plan, how could Zhongshan Kingdom survive for a little longer." Oh, yes! It is up to people to plan things, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. This is the day to die. ”

"I have been proficient in power and scheming all my life, and I am good at the art of emperors." Sima Xi coughed a few more times, "But I can't guess what kind of person Zhao Jun is." It stands to reason that Meng Yao's death would give Zhao Jun a fatal blow and make Zhao Jun languid. There is a vision in the sky, which will also cause contradictions between Zhao Jun and the crown prince. In this way, Zhao Guo will be separated from virtue and will not be far from disaster. But I didn't expect that Zhao Jun would choose to Zen in advance to avoid the disaster of vision. ”

"Zhao Jun's life, no one can understand. Today, Zhao Jun abdicated in his prime, setting a precedent for all dynasties. It's also hard to understand. Gongzi Shang calmed his thoughts, "Zhao Jun is a terrible opponent!" Today, Zhao Jun personally led 100,000 troops to the Northern Expedition to Zhongshan. Our country is in danger. ”

"Yes! No one in Zhao Jun's life can understand. Whether it is at the beginning of the succession, with the strength of the weak country, against the five countries; is still in the world of great contention, does not follow the royal road, and depreciates himself to be a king; and ignoring the world's vision, the implementation of Hufu riding and shooting. Sima Xi's eyes swelled with admiration, "No one understands Zhao Jun, but Zhao Jun has used twenty years of strength to lead the weak Zhao State to a strong state." ”

Gongzi Shang also said: "The three Jin Dynasty have not fought for more than 20 years, and it is all the work of Zhao Jun. Today, Zhao Jun intervened in the Yan State and the Qin State and supported the Yan and Qin kings. The dust settled in the northern Xinjiang, attacked the Sanhu, and opened up thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. Ji Zhou has been in power for hundreds of years, who dares to compare Zhao Jun's merits. No one can understand Zhao Jun, but it is really scary. ”

"Yes! Zhao Jun is a formidable and respectable opponent. Sima Xi said: "Zhao Jun used his life's energy to make Zhao Kingdom strong. Today's Zhao State is far better than Han and Wei, and not weaker than Qi and Chu. We wanted to take advantage of Zhao Jun's fatal flaw and ruin him. We have forgotten that Zhao Jun has the mind of taking the world as the public. Zhao Jun's courage, courage and mind are unparalleled. Our opponent is Zhao Jun, which is a great disaster. ”

Gongzishang asked, "Zhao Jun led the troops to attack me, what should I do." ”

"Childe, fight for the country! So he lives up to the wisdom of his ancestors, and he lives up to the body of a son. Sima Xi said in a sympathetic tone: "Zhao Jun wants to destroy my society." We also want Zhao Jun to understand that Zhongshan men cannot be bullied. ”

"Zhao Jun wants to step on Lingshou and wash Zhongshan in blood." Gongzishang picked up the fear in his heart, "We also want Zhao Jun to understand that Zhongshan men can be destroyed, but they can't be bullied." ”
