The Yan State sent troops to attack the dynasty, and the situation was urgent. Zhao Yong ordered that the hunt should be stopped, and he hurried back to Handan. Outside the city of Handan, several soldiers dispersed the people, and said loudly: "Disperse, disperse, return to the palace." ”

Looking at the dusty team, they entered Handan. When the people saw this, they talked about it.

"Didn't you go out hunting? Why did you suddenly return to Handan. Could it be that something big happened to Zhao Guo. ”

"There must be something big happening in the country, otherwise, the king would not have rushed back in a hurry."

"Don't you know? Yan sent troops to the northern Xinjiang to represent the land, your lord, can you not be in a hurry? ”

"The Yan State sent troops to represent the county, and several cities in the Zhao State have fallen. Northern Xinjiang is in an emergency. ”

Zhao Yong drove a road, leading directly to Zhao Palace.

There were several ministers who were waiting anxiously outside the Zhao Palace. When the people saw that the king had returned, they bowed down and saluted.

Zhao Yong jumped out of the carriage and asked sideways as he walked towards the palace: "Northern Xinjiang Daijun, what is the situation now." ”

"Your Majesty, the Yan Kingdom suddenly sent troops to attack my Dai County. The officers and soldiers of the Daidi were not well prepared and had already lost several cities. ”

Zhao Jun didn't stop and asked, "Who is the person who is stationed in Daijun?" ”

"Back to the king, it's Zhao Gu."

Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment and continued to walk forward. When I returned to Zhao Palace, I saw that the bamboo slips placed on the desk were piled up into a small hill. The things written on the bamboo slips are all about the war situation in northern Xinjiang. Zhao Bao, inform your lord of the latest news about Northern Xinjiang in the past few days. Zhao Yong listened carefully while looking at the bamboo slips. When Zhao Bao's words came to an end, Zhao Yong gently put down the bamboo slips and asked, "Yan Guo sent troops to attack my northern frontier, everyone, what do you think?" ”

Zhao Yong, this sentence is aimed at high-level military generals. These generals, on weekdays, point out the country and scold Fang Xuan. If there is really a war in the country, they always keep silent and cannot say a word.

"Your Majesty, we should be at peace with the Lord." Zhao Bao, straightening his posture, arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry. In the northern Xinjiang Dynasty, the city is strong and the grain reserves are abundant. The Yan people want to take the land of my northern frontier, but they are fools' dreams. Your Majesty, you only need to seriously implement the new policy and revitalize the national strength. ”

Zhao Bao's words were seconded by the majority. Zhao's current task is to continue to implement Zhao Jun's new policy. The implementation of the new policy has just improved, how can it be easy to give up the hard-won achievements because Yan Guo sent troops to harass Zhao Jing.

"Lord and?" Zhao Yong's words were cold, and he said: "It is the luck of the country that the civil ministers are in harmony and the generals are in the main battle." Ladies and gentlemen, you are deeply blessed by the country, don't you say something? ”

Everyone looked at each other, was silent for a while, and said in unison: "Your Excellency, the ministers and others all think that they should be the Lord and make peace." ”

"That's what you mean?" Zhao Yong's eyes slid towards everyone's faces one by one, and he asked coldly: "Yan Guo is coming, we will sit idly by." ”

The generals did not dare to stare at the king's fierce gaze, and hung their heads one by one.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" Zhao Bao was stunned for a moment, and then understood. Zhao Jun obviously did not accept his suggestion to Lord He.

"The widow has succeeded to the throne so far, and it is better to be honest with his neighbors. But, in the eyes of the monarch of a neighboring country? They all think that our country is weak and can be bullied. First of all, Wei invited Qi, Yan, Qin and Chu and other countries of ten thousand times, waiting for an opportunity to try for my Zhao State. Even the weak Zhongshan Kingdom often provokes on the border. Today, Yan Guofu has sent troops to attack my northern Xinjiang Daidi. Ladies and gentlemen, there is no need to endure it. In the last few words, Zhao Yong deliberately said the tone more heavily, in order to show his determination to not retreat.

Gongzi Cheng recalled the meaning of the king, sneered, and asked: "The king, you are going to war with the Yan Kingdom." ”

Zhao Yong, looking at him, replied: "Widow, that's exactly what I mean." ”

Zhao Jun is so arbitrary, this is the result that Gongzi Cheng wants to see. Gongzi Cheng smiled wryly, faced everyone, and asked: "The king is willing to fight, I don't know if my Zhao State can fight with Yan State." ”

Zhao Yong, with firm eyes, said, "Why not." ”

Gongzi Cheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, is Zhao capable of fighting?" ”

Zhao Bao saw that the monarch ignored the long-term Zhao country and insisted on fighting in the Yan country, and said anxiously: "Your Excellency, you can't fight." Our country should make peace with the Yan country. No fighting, the best policy. ”

Gongzicheng, his lips raised slightly, revealing a smile that was difficult to detect, and said, "What Xiangbang said is very true. The current Zhao State cannot fight with the Yan State. ”

Zhao Yong, staring at the two of them, his thoughts were surging, thinking about his thoughts in his heart, he turned his gaze to Da Sima Feiyi, and asked, "Da Sima, what do you think." ”

Fei Yi thought about it, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can't fight with Yan Guo." War cannot solve any problems, and the Yan State should be treated by means of peaceful negotiations. Your Majesty, don't dislike my qualifications for being dull, please let me send an envoy to Yan Guo and meet the monarch of Yan Guo in person. I will do everything in my power to persuade them to withdraw from the army. ”

Zhao Yong, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said, "Zuo Sikou, what do you think." ”

Li Dui arched his hand and said: "The implementation of the new policy needs a good and stable environment. At this time, the king used troops against the Yan State. The results achieved by the new policy will be burned. Please, think twice. ”

Zhao Yong was unhappy in his heart, and in the face of everyone, he gritted his teeth and said, "You... Is that what it all means? ”

Zhao Bao saw that everyone nodded and acquiesced, and took the lead in saying: "Lord He." ”

Gongzi Cheng echoed: "Minister, second." ”

"Seconded..."

Everyone saw that Xiangbang and Da Sikou, the two elders of the clan, expressed their attitudes and stepped forward to express the peace of the Lord. Zhao Yong snorted coldly, and said in his heart: "Yan Guo, deceive me Zhao Guo, in the hands of the widows, there is no one to fight." When will the widow be proud of the nations and dominate the world? ”

"Hahahaha."

Suddenly, a person in the hall burst out laughing. Zhao Yong's thoughts pulled back, and he used his eyes to find where the laughter came from. I saw that person, and it soon became a unique scenery that attracted everyone's attention. Seeing that the man had lost his manners, Gongzi's face was displeased, and he scolded: "Doctor, what are you laughing at." ”

Tian Buli, bowed deeply, and faced the king, "Today, Yan Guo sent troops to attack me. Our country does not fight, but gives treasures. Although it is temporarily suspended, it is not a long-term plan after all. The monarch of Yan State is not more ambitious, but Zhao State has all the treasures. How will our country face it? Tian Buli's words forced everyone to be speechless. If Zhao Guo does not fight today and gives treasures, the appetite of the Yan people is not so easy to satisfy. What kind of eyes will the other vassal states look at Zhao and Zhao Jun.

Tian Buli looked around at everyone and continued: "Today is the Yan Kingdom, tomorrow it may be the Qi Kingdom and the Qin Kingdom. Even the barbarian Zhongshan country. Your Majesty, what should I do? ”

"Doctor, what is your good strategy?"

Tian Buli, waved his long sleeves, and said loudly: "Fight." ”

A few more people chimed in: "Your Majesty, you should fight." ”

When Zhao Bao heard this, he didn't like it in his heart, but his face was still gentle, and he said, "Fight? Why did Zhao fight. ”

Tian Buli said: "Zhao Guo, there are thousands of military vehicles, why can't you fight." ”

"Hmph, you're talking about light." Gongzicheng said sharply: "War depends on economic support. In a war with the Yan State, the foundation accumulated by the Zhao State will be destroyed in one fell swoop. The king's new policy will also be in vain. If other princes take the opportunity to attack me, how will they face it? ”

"Your Majesty, you must not only fight, but also win." Tian Buli, generously sang, and said: "A war can ensure peace between Yan and Zhao for several years." ”

"If the two countries go to war, they will be the same as fire and water, so how can there be peace between the two countries."

"That's right! As soon as the war starts, the two countries of Yan and Zhao will be incompatible. What peace! ”

"Your Majesty, you can't fight!"

"A soldier speaks, a belligerent sins." Tian Buli, the style of his words changed, and continued: "If you stop the war with war, you can protect the country and calm the people." ”

"With the war, the people are displaced and living in poverty, so how can they say that they can calm the people."

In the face of Yan's invasion of northern Xinjiang, the main battle of Zhao Palace and the main peacemaker, the two factions had a fierce debate. But there are many people who are peacemakers, and those with clan prestige are in the array. As a result, the speech of the main war was deeply suppressed. However, although the situation was unfavorable to the main battle faction, Tian Buli was not discouraged in his heart. He is a smart person, and he has already figured out Zhao Jun's mind in his heart, which is the main battle, not the main peace. Now that the two factions are at a stalemate, he has no choice but to leave this problem to the king.

Tian Buli bowed and said, "War and peace, please decide." ”

Zhao Gong suddenly fell silent. Everyone waited quietly for the king's decision. In the face of the current situation, Zhao Yong has no room for relaxation. At this moment, he must express his position between the main battle and the main peace. When Zhao Bao heard this, he suddenly smiled, he believed that the monarch would adopt the opinion of the lord.

Knowing this, Zhao Yong got up, took three steps forward, and threatened: "Pass the order, prepare grain and grass, and set off in five days." ”

When Zhao Bao heard this, his face was shocked, how could the king make such a decision that went against the majority.

Seeing this, the main battle faction shouted in unison, "Your Majesty, Shengming." ”

The voice of the Lord and the faction have long been drowned out by the sound of jubilation.

Zhao Yong took a stand, ignoring the expressions and remarks of his opponents. At that moment, another deployment was made, and the court meeting was dispersed. The matter of going on the expedition is imperative, and it must not let people shake their minds. This expedition is not only for Zhao Guo, but also for himself, as well as his little friends in his heart.

Zhao Bao wanted to speak again and state the disadvantages of the expedition. However, Zhao Jun 'hid' again.

Zhao Bao, stepping out of the palace gate, raised his head and sighed: "It seems that I am old." ”

Gongzi Cheng chased after him, and said with a pleasant face: "Isn't Xiangbang old, it's our lord who has grown up." ”

Zhao Bao knew that he had something to say, and raised his hand to say goodbye. Walking out of the Zhao Palace, Feiyi ushered in and arched his hand: "Xiangbang, don't worry." Your Majesty, you have his own troubles. ”

Zhao Bao, slightly startled, asked, "Your Majesty, what's the problem?" ”

"If Xiangbang knew what happened to Zhao Jun's hunting, he would also understand his mood of sending troops."

Zhao Bao hesitated: "Jun Shang hunting, what happened." ”

Fei Yi looked around and said, "This is not the place to speak. ”

Fei Yi chose a quiet and elegant place and told what happened to Zhao Yong without reservation.

When Zhao Bao heard this, he said, "So that's the case." ”

"As Xiangbang said, the city of Daijun is strong, the city has plenty of grain and grass, and the garrison is perfect. The power of Yan alone cannot be attacked. If the Yan State sends troops to provoke, our country chooses to ignore it, and the princes and countries think that our Zhao State is weak and incompetent, and they will once again join forces to attack me. I thought about it again and again, and I thought that the monarch should send troops to teach Yan Guo a lesson. Fei Yi paused for a moment and continued: "There are several advantages for the monarch to send troops. First, in the battle of Yan and Zhao, Zhao will not only not lose, but will win a big victory. The winner, the land of Yan Zhao, within a few years, there will be no war, and the border of Yan and Zhao can enjoy peace. Second, the monarch can take this opportunity to learn about his country and the soldiers of the three armies of Zhao State. Third, establish Zhao Jun's prestige and deter people with ulterior motives. ”

Zhao Bao suddenly understood that Fei Yi was here to be Zhao Jun's lobbyist. However, there is nothing wrong with Feiyi's words, Zhao Bao is a reasonable person, so he did not embarrass him. Fei Yi, observing the words and looks, seeing that Xiangbang had no objections, continued: "But, there is a hidden danger. ”

Zhao Bao saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, and asked, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"The king sent troops, and his temperament was a little anxious." Fat Yi, in the tone, reflected a faint uneasiness, and said: "Many colleagues, centrifuged from the king. Your Majesty, if you want to achieve victory in this army, you can't lack the support of Xiangbang. ”

Zhao Bao said with a wry smile: "Someone finally knows that my old bones are useful." ”

Seeing that he spoke softly, Fei Yi must have agreed with his own proposition, and took the opportunity to say: "Not only I know, but your lord also knows." The king often said that Xiangbang is a sage in the world. The widow gets him like a fish in water. Therefore, during the hunting period, the people who garrisoned the national capital were none other than Xiangbang. ”

Zhao Bao is used to being complimented. But Zhao Jun's appreciation and affirmation of him came out of the mouth of a third party, especially the important minister Feiyi, who was very useful to listen to. At this moment, he had forgotten the unhappiness of the Zhao Palace, and said, "Your Majesty, you really said that." ”

Fei Yi arched his hand and said, "How dare I deceive you." ”

"Your Majesty, you look up to my old bones so much. I should also do something for you. Zhao Bao continued: "The preparation of grain and grass still requires the hard work of Da Sima. As for the ministers, leave it to me to deal with. If the king wants to achieve great things, he cannot do without the concerted efforts of all his ministers. ”

"No." Fei Yi saluted and said, "Say goodbye again." ”

Zhao Yong 'hid' into the inner court, feeling unhappy. In the face of Yan Guo's attack, the children of the clan, who had no one to take responsibility, stepped forward. He thought? This time I obeyed their wishes, and the next time another country came to attack, what should I do? Mu Jian, seeing him facing the pillar, lost his temper indiscriminately, and comforted: "Your Majesty, don't be angry with the old guy, the person who is angry is yourself." ”

"Who said I was angry." Zhao Yong, tidying up his clothes, regained his composure, and said, "I'm too lazy to be angry with them." I'm going to rest for a few days and personally go out to fight against the Yan Kingdom. I want to impress the ministers with the widow. ”

"Your Majesty, with such ambition, I will never be able to reach it." Mu Jian heard that Jun Shang was still very angry in his tone, but he pretended to be very relaxed. I laughed in my heart, Jun Shang was bullied enough by those 'old guys'! Suddenly, he saw that the air around him was cold, and scolded loudly: "These old fellows, who think they are older than us, always love to nag in our ears. It's as if the world is theirs and has nothing to do with us. As long as we do what they want and live, we can't go wrong. ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Zhao Yong let out a long breath, his eyes were quite confused, and said, "Over time." We will also consider ourselves young. Therefore, do nothing. In vain, a lot of time was wasted. It is right to listen to the opinion of the old man. But you can't just follow their will. Otherwise, how much fun is there in such a life. If you want me to say, you should make your own decisions in your own life. Live yourself according to your own wishes, and that will live up to your time. ”
