PS: Recently, someone has been giving July a low score of one star, and readers who use the web side can give July a score by the way, thank you

On March 8, Pingyuan Jin, jumped off the wooden boat, looked back at the murky river behind him that was so wide that it was almost impossible to see the edge, Mingyue couldn't help but admire: "This river is worthy of being the first of ten thousand rivers in the world, it is ten miles wide, if you don't see it with your own eyes, it is really unimaginable." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Gongsun Long, who was in the same boat with him, went back and forth to Qi Zhao many times, and this plain Jin had been here countless times, so he smiled and said: "This is the spring season, the river is not wide, and when the autumn water arrives, the hundred rivers irrigate the river, the flow is so big, and there is no debate between the two Zhuzhu cliffs, so it is called Haohao soup!" ”

The head of the bright moon, the current Yellow River, is called "river water", it is divided into two in the territory of Zhao State, the west is relatively small and clear, so it is called the Qing River, and the east is wider and turbid, so it is called the Turbid River. Although the sediment is not as serious as that of later generations, the Yellow River, which has tormented the Chinese for thousands of years, has already begun to suffer.

Because of the perennial impact of the river here, a horse is flat, but more than ten miles away on the east bank of the river, there is a thin line visible to the naked eye, which is a wall built of earth.

Mingyue pointed to the loess wall and asked, "Mr. Gongsun, is that the embankment built by the Qi Kingdom?" ”

Gongsun Long squinted his eyes and said, "However, it is similar to the embankment of my Zhao Kingdom, it is all to prevent floods. ”

It turned out that in the history of more than 100 years before, Qi, Zhao and Wei were the main countries in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, with the Yellow River as the boundary. Zhao and Wei are on higher ground, while Qi is low, and once the Yellow River is flooded, it is always Qi that is unlucky. Therefore, King Qi Wei built a dam twenty-five miles away from the east bank of the Yellow River, and once the Yellow River flooded, when it reached the embankment of Qi to the east, it would be blocked, and it would turn west to flood the Zhao and Wei lands.

"Although Qi State's move is just to emulate the 'beggar-thy-neighbor' when Bai Gui of Wei State controlled the water. But it can make Zhao and Wei miserable, and in order to prevent this situation, Zhao Wei also built embankments and embankments in their own territories. ”

In this way, the course of the Yellow River became extremely wide, and the flood rose during the flood season in summer and autumn, and it could be submerged within 50 miles on both banks, but under the restriction of the embankments on both banks, it did not break and flood out. The water flow is gentle and unhurried, which also leads to the fact that the land on both sides of the river is quite fertile after being filled with silt, and the people only need to wait for the water to recede and sow the seeds, and the harvest will be obtained in a few months, so the population on both sides of the river is increasing.

However, these embankments are sometimes used as weapons to kill the enemy, and it was learned from Gongsun Long that Zhao State was in the period of Zhao Suhou, in the face of Qi and Wei's joint attack, in order to keep Handan, it was "flooded by the river", and Qi and Wei had no choice but to retreat.

More than ten years ago, during the reign of King Huiwen of Zhao, Zhao attacked Wei's vassal Weiguo, "breaking the river and cutting down the Wei clan", and also achieved some results.

However, this kind of combat method similar to the embankment at the mouth of Changgong Garden, Zhao Guo benefited in the war, but it could make the people downstream suffer.

Mingyue sighed a little bitterly: "All countries should guard against all rivers, each for their own benefit, not a long-term way, this big river has been no longer troubled for a long time since Dayu controlled the water, but all countries take water as a soldier and a neighbor as a beggar, if this continues, sooner or later the river will become more and more intense, and it will eventually become a situation that cannot be controlled by a single country." ”

It is precisely because of Zhao Weiqi's self-drowning behavior that by the time of the Han Dynasty, the flooding of the Yellow River was difficult to control.

Gongsun Long glanced at Chang Anjun in surprise, and felt that his words were quite insightful, but said with a smile:

"Childe, you can rest assured, now the Zhao State has occupied many cities east of the river, and the anointed lands on both sides of the river are all included in the territory of the Zhao State. In addition, in recent years, Zhao, Wei, and Zhao Qi have been harmonious, so naturally there is no need to use water as a soldier to poison the people. ”

The so-called relations between countries can only be managed for a while, not for a lifetime, and only political and economic unity can eliminate this kind of man-made flood...... Mingyue thought so.

Although the three kingdoms of Zhao, Wei and Qi are friendly now, they are wary of each other, just like the embankment on this big river, which has never disappeared, and one day, it will flood again, beggar-thy-neighbor.

His worries were not unnecessary, and the next day, when they arrived in Gaotang City, they met a doctor from Qi who was not good......

……

"This Gao Tang City, regardless of the accent or customs, is really very different from Zhao Di."

Riding a horse into the earthy yellow walls of Gaotang City, looking at the surrounding scenery, listening to the voices of people on the street, Zhao Kuo couldn't help but sigh like this, he had never left Handan a hundred miles away since he was a child, and he felt curious about everything.

Mingyue had already put on a graceful dress, sat in the car, and said with a smile: "That's why Pingyuan Jun warned us that this place is already considered Qidi, Bracket, Shu Qi, cheer up!" ”

From Gongsun Long's mouth, Mingyue learned that this Gaotang City was the western Dayi of Qi as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, bordering Weiguo in the south and Dongyang in the west of Jin, and it was the center of Qi in the south of the Yellow River and north of Jishui.

Three hundred years ago, Qi Jinggong gave Tian Huanzi the city next to Judi because of the Tian family (Chen family's) expulsion of the powerful minister Qingfeng, and the expulsion of Luan and Gao Erqing. The scheming Tian Huanzi first pretended to thank him, and then bought the mother of Qi Jinggong to ask for a better Tang Dynasty for him, and then the Tian family moved the family head here and began to "prosper", and also began their road of "Tian Dai Qi".

More than 100 years ago, Tian He finally relied on the recommendation of Marquis Wu of Wei and was recognized by Zhou Tianzi, replacing Jiang surnamed Qi and becoming the ruler of these two thousand miles of mountains and rivers. After that, the new monarch of Qi divided Qi into five capitals: Linzi Capital, Ju Capital, Jimo Capital, Pinglu Capital, and Gaotang Capital. The land of Gaotang is flat and fertile, without the obstruction of the famous mountains of the big river, and the transfer is often the north-south hole.

Twenty years ago, in the Battle of the Five Kingdoms launched to punish Qi for destroying the Song Dynasty, the main force of Qi was lost in the first battle of Jixi, and Le Yi drove straight into the Shuai Yan army to attack Linzi. The Zhao army turned back and conquered the city, occupying all of Qi's territory west of the Yellow River.

Another ten years later, under the leadership of Zhao General Yan Zhou, Zhao captured the city of Changcheng of Qi and the great city of Gaotang, which had 10,000 households.

"At this time, the Yan State had lost control of the Qi Land, so the Wei State that occupied the Song Land and the Zhao State that occupied the Gaotang and other places became the biggest winners of that war, with a population increase of more than 100,000 and a great ......increase in national strength."

Saying so, they had already entered the official mansion of this city under the guidance of the magistrate of Gaotang, and from the mouth of Gaotang Ling, they also learned that the envoy sent by the State of Qi to greet Chang'anjun was already waiting in the pavilion.

Pingyuanjun was very concerned about this matter: "Who is the Qi envoy and what is his identity?" ”

Gao Tang Ling replied: "The name is Mink Bo, who is the guest of King Qi, and the lord is the next doctor." ”

Pingyuanjun's face was uncertain: "Zhao Guo asked Pingyuanjun to go to Linzi in person, and he just sent a doctor over there?" Qi Guo is too lazy! ”

Gongsun Long, who has lived in Linzi for a long time, said: "Has the lord forgotten? Diao Bo is a friend of Anpingjun, but he can also get the credit of the king of Qi, he once sent an envoy to the state of Chu, and even exhorted the king of Qi to respect Anpingjun, so that the king of Qi and Anpingjun can be reconciled, it can be seen that this person is a general figure of a national warrior, not to be underestimated......"

Pingyuanjun's face softened slightly, nodded, and immediately asked Gao Tang Ling to go to the pavilion and invite the Qi envoy to come.

The official mansion of Gao Tang Ling's office is not large, and it is separated by a curtain into two places, inside and outside, and it didn't take long for Pingyuanjun and Mingyue and others to sit here, and the envoys of the Qi State came.

"Plains-kun!" In the distance, Mingyue heard the Qi envoy shouting outside the door, and a middle-aged man with a short stature rushed in and saluted Pingyuan Jun on the main seat: "Foreign minister Mink Bo, on behalf of the widow Jun asked Pingyuan Jun to be well, the Queen Mother to be well, and King Zhao to be well." ”

"The Queen Mother and the King are all well." Pingyuanjun squeezed out a smile, got up to greet Mink, and introduced Mingyue to him.

"This is the Chang'an Jun named by King Qi."

"I've seen the doctor." The host and guest is the position of Qi Guo who is specially responsible for entertaining foreign guests, and as the face of a country, it should be "more than eight feet tall" like Zou Ji. But Mingyue found that the mink in front of him was not good-looking, and it could even be said to be ugly, an eagle hooked his nose, even his eyes were as sharp as an owl, and he was wearing a set of wide-sleeved deep clothes, which could be said to be extremely simple compared to the extravagant Pingyuan Jun.

He casually glanced at Mingyue a few times and nodded: "The king and queen have long been looking forward to seeing Chang'anjun. ”

Having said that, but immediately, he no longer paid attention to Mingyue, Chang'anjun's reputation in Handan had not yet reached the Qi country, and Diao Bo didn't care much about him, a yellow-mouthed son, but greeted Pingyuanjun.

This mink can speak well, Tiannan Haibei can be involved, Pingyuan Jun has been on the road for so many days, he has long been too tired to work, and after chatting for a while, he can't hold on, and he plans to cut to the point, discuss the matter of entering the Qi, settle down early, and he will go to rest early.

Diao Bo smiled and said, "Pingyuan Jun came to Qi this time, not only to send Chang'an Jun into Qi, but also to return the invasion of Zhao to occupy Qi State, right?" ”

Pingyuan Jun did not deny it, nodded, this is indeed one of his missions, and Ermine Bo said: "The widow said before I left, since this is the case, it is better to ask Zhao Guo to return Maiqiu and Changcheng first, as long as the city is handed over to Qi State, Qi State will immediately send troops to help Zhao!" ”

After hearing this, Ping Yuanjun's face sank, and Mingyue immediately became alert, and a thought popped up in his mind:

"It's not good, Qi Guo helps Zhao's heart, I'm afraid it's not sincere!"
