PS: There are two more chapters in the evening, ask for recommendation votes!

"In power, Zhao Mengzhen is dead"

When Liang Ying's father heard this, he was pleasantly surprised for a while, and hurriedly asked.

Zhiqi said: "It is said that he took the lead in charging when he was fighting with Erqing in Gongcheng, so that he was hit by a stray arrow, and he was seriously injured and died, and he has not shown up for many days. Zhao Jun is now under the command of his son Wuxi, and even if he does not die, he only has half a life left. ”

Liang Ying's father wiped the sweat from his forehead: "If Zhao Meng dies, then the Zhao family will not be afraid, for the Zhao family, no matter how many battles they have won before, as long as they damage the head of the family, Zhao Ying, this is the most serious defeat!" ”

He added, "Even if Zhao Wuxian is the commander-in-chief, even if he still enjoys the prestige of invincibility, if he inherits the throne, the monarch and the secretaries will not be able to accept it, the successor of the Zhao family is undecided, and even the internal instability cannot be calmed, how can he fight against the outside world?" They still can't win this big battle. ”

Originally, in the eyes of everyone, the Zhao family had grown into a terrifying giant beast, but after hearing that Zhao Ying died, this giant beast became the target of the external powerhouse.

"What does the ruling intend to do from this?"

"Naturally, it is to add fuel to the fire and tear the Zhao family apart, but the three people I asked you to look for earlier can be contacted?"

Liang Ying's father smiled: "Zhao Ying's eldest son Bolu and the prince of the Wei Kingdom are in the lower palace, but Fu Su is very guarded, and our people have no chance to approach him." Zhao Ying's second son, Zhongxin, and his third son, Shu Qi, were Wei Bo and the ruling sons and nephews, respectively, and they did not please Zhao Ying, and were driven to guard the ancestral tomb in Geng County. According to the report of the person who sent them, the two of them were very unwilling to this situation, and they were also full of resentment towards Zhao Wuxian......"

Zhibo nodded, "You might as well take advantage of them." Zhao Wuxian is neither the eldest son nor the doctor of the Jin Kingdom. What qualifications do you have to rule the Zhao family? I sent Ji Qin to ask for Hanoi, and at the same time, I also wanted to use the righteousness of etiquette. Force Zhao Wuxian out of the Jin Kingdom, and then dismember the Zhao family, and divide it into three! ”

After Liang Ying's father said goodbye and left, Zhiguo leaned over and asked again: "Father, Zhao Meng, is he really dead?" ”

Zhiqi said: "It will take more than ten days for the news of Xintian and Taihang to be transmitted back, true and false, one will be like this and one will be like that, who can tell the difference?" The important thing is that it must be thought by everyone. Zhao Meng is dead, and I know that the next plan can be carried out smoothly......"

Zhiguo was shocked, if Zhao Ying hadn't died, wouldn't Zhi's actions be a castle in the air and a water without roots?

"Father has made up his mind to be the enemy of the Zhao family?"

Zhiqi said with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect the Zhao clan's battle to go so smoothly, they are already too powerful, destroying the balance of the six secretaries of the Jin State, and they must be contained." I am afraid that I will not be able to do it with the power of the Zhi family, so I will use the authority of the monarch and the ruling party. used the desperately struggling Fan and Bank of China, the newly supported Fan Gaoyi and Liang Ying's father, and even the opponents within the Zhao family to use Han Wei. It is necessary to dismember the Zhao clan at all costs, otherwise, ten years later, the Jin Kingdom will be owned by the Zhao clan! ”

"But. The Zhao family is already difficult to deal with, not to mention that they are still friendly with the Han family and the Wei family......" Zhiguo secretly glanced at his father: "If it really starts." The win rate is not high. ”

"The Han family was promised too many benefits, and they were friendly with the Zhao family for generations. This time, he was determined to follow the Zhao family on a path, and it was impossible to persuade him to come back. But the Wei family, since the death of Wei Xianzi, Wei Jianzi and Wei Manduo have been supported and protected by me for two generations, and the relationship between the Zhi and Wei families is no less than that of the Zhao family. ”

Zhisong sneered: "And in the past two months, the Zhao family has been killing all sides, do you think that the father is just watching and doing nothing?" What the Zhao family can promise, I can also give, and I can fulfill it immediately! ”

……

When Wei Ju entered the Wei palace in Anyi with the letter, his father Wei Hao had just finished a meeting with the guests, and was putting on heavy cowhide armor to begin the daily swordsmanship training: the Wei descendants inherited the style of Wei Li, Wei Shu and other ancestors, and everyone knew the soldiers, martial arts and fierceness.

Of course, what has also been inherited is the ambition and eagerness hidden under the honest appearance.

Wei Ju is a person with less seniority in Liuqing, and he has always been attached to the Zhi family and the Zhao family, and he is not obvious, only Wei Ju knows that his father's mind is quite deep.

"Father, this is the letter delivered by the Zhao family, please take a look." Wei Ju respectfully presented the letter, and then looked at his father's expression.

Wei Yu peeled off the ink, unfolded the rattan paper, his dark eyes scanned back and forth, and his thin lips showed a smile, but he didn't say anything.

Wei Ju was a little impatient, and he said earnestly: "Father, what is written in the letter?" ”

Wei Hao swept the letter again, "The letter was written in the name of Zhao Zhongjunzuo, which said that Fan Ji had died, and Zhao avenged the humiliation of the ancestors for Wei, hoping that Wei could join the war against Fan and Zhongxing, and all Fan's Hedong territories after the war belonged to Wei!" ”

"Sure enough!" Wei Ju clapped his hands and shouted, and then said happily: "Father, without further ado, it is better to quickly send troops to attack the Hedong counties of the Fan family!" If it's late, just like the temple sacrifice to a person who is late, you won't be able to share the sacrificial meat! ”

Wei Hao was noncommittal, he tied a strip of cloth on his wrist to tuck his sleeves, glanced at his son and said, "Don't be busy making decisions, you can tell me first, what is the situation east of Taihang?" ”

Wei Ju recounted with some excitement: "The Zhao clan has won the decisive battle, destroyed the main force of Fan and Zhongxing, and is now preparing to attack Chaoge. The Fan clan was almost completely wiped out, and the soldiers of the Zhongxing clan had been exhausted, and the Bai people were four hundred miles away from Chaoge, even if the Zhongxing clan recruited new soldiers, it would take more than a month to assemble, and then train them, and they would be pulled out until the end of the autumn harvest of Chaoge. “

"In other words, Chaoge is very empty now, if Haotian favors it, the Zhao clan is likely to take Chaoge City before the arrival of the BOC reinforcements! If I don't do it at this time, it will be too late by then! ”

Wei Yu shook his head: "I have been to Chaoge, and no one can easily capture that fortified city. ”

"Six hundred years ago, King Wu of Zhou and Taigongwang did it!"

Wei Yu said: "First, although he Zhao Wuxian claims to be invincible, he is not the Martial King and the Taigong. Second, at that time, Chaoge did not have a city wall, but now there is. Kony, you haven't fought a siege. So you don't understand. Siege is a last resort. There is no way to do it. Deal with a big city like Chaoge, and gather troops. It takes at least thirty years to make a shield and charge the chariot and prepare all the equipment for the siege. It takes at least another thirty years to pile up the earth and mountains to build the siege city, and then fill in the moat, and the siege will be as short as three months and as long as several years. ”

"If the general does not have the patience to restrain his anxiety, he orders his soldiers to climb the wall and attack the city like ants. Even if a third of the soldiers are killed or wounded, but the city still cannot be captured, this is the disaster brought by the siege. Don't look at the Zhao clan now having the advantage, but the war they won in the field is likely to be completely lost in Chaoge! ”

Wei Ju felt that what his father said made some sense, but he was too conservative, and he argued forcefully: "But the Fan family has indeed lost the ability to resist, which can't be faked." If my father agrees, I will personally lead 10,000 troops. The counties in the east of the Fan's River that are more than 100 miles away from Anyi: Fan County, Xun County, and Oak County. After I take these three counties from the Fan clan, I will be able to double the Wei clan's Anyi territory!" That would be the wealth and glory that Wei has never had! ”

Wei Yu pondered for a moment and said, "This promise of the Zhao clan is indeed very tempting. But in the final analysis, the Wei clan still has to fight for it with his own sword, and the Fan's three-county territory can still recruit five or six thousand soldiers. It's not easy to eat it in one bite...... Not to mention. This crosses the consuls and the monarchs, and they cannot sit idly by. ”

"That being said. How can you get benefits without paying any price or danger? ”

Wei Yu smiled: "What you said is right, you must have this kind of consciousness to do great things, but someone in front of you just sent an opportunity, you don't have to pay any price, you don't have to die a soldier, you can get benefits." ”

Wei Ju's eyes widened, and he suddenly understood why his father, who had always been close to Zhao, was so repeated: "Could it be that the envoy of the Zhi clan just now said something to his father?" ”

"Yes, Zhibo advised me to stand with him and the monarch, and not to join the ranks of the Zhao family......"

"Zhibo is not planning to help Fan and BOC? Fan's is my Wei's enemy! ”

Wei Yu said: "Fan Ji is dead, Fan is actually dead, the new head of the family, Fan Gaoyi, is willing to apologize for what Fan Ying has done, and is willing to cede Xun and Li counties as compensation." ”

"The kid always feels that Zhibo can't be trusted."

"Zhao Wuxian is not credible, he may be deceiving you with benefits, and then deceiving the Wei family into getting involved in the war through you."

"But Zhao Wuxian and I are about brothers, and they have a request for me and a request for Wei. When there was no war, I hunted with him, drank and feasted together, and he called me brother, and he ......"

Wei Hao laughed: "Ju, I think you were carried away by the victory of the Zhao family, if he told the truth, why did he hide the news of Zhao Meng's death alone?" ”

……

Wei Ju was stunned: "Zhao Qing, died in battle!?" ”

"This is the news from the Zhi family, although I don't know whether it's true or not, but Zhao Meng seems to have really had an accident, Fu Suo and Zhao Bolu in the lower palace are evacuating in a hurry, and the monarch wants to accuse the Zhao family for not abiding by the etiquette and law, and the crime of starting a war with the second secretary without authorization, the Shangjun Sima Jiqin has already taken the semi-military people to the east to ask for the guilt."

Wei Ju broke out in a cold sweat: "If this is the case, the victory of the Zhao family is not worth mentioning, Zhao Wuxian wants to return to the Jin State as the secretary of the ruling state of Lu, this kind of thing is ......"

"This kind of thing, except for the Han family, who has been completely involved in the war and followed in the footsteps of the Zhao family, no one can accept the rest of the ministers, including the monarch, including my Wei family. In short, don't believe the so-called brothers, young people's hearts are full of blood, who would have expected the conspiracy behind this? Back then, your great-grandfather Wei Xianzi and Luan Ying were also like brothers, but when the situation forced them, they didn't have to be ruthless to the Luan family, and my Wei family's Quwo County came about like this! ”

Wei Ju calmed down slightly, "Father means that the Wei clan is going to repeat like the Luan clan's rebellion?" ”

"It's not repeated!"

Wei Yu said earnestly to his son: "You have to keep in mind that you are not running errands for Zhao Wuxian, but for the Wei family!" In my opinion, Zhao's recklessness in the past few months is actually playing with fire in disregard of the rules of the Jin Kingdom, and those who play with fire often set themselves on fire; And Zhibo boasted that he was good at the art of goodness like water, and he held back his strength to be the enemy of the Zhao family, but in fact, he was also blaspheming the water, and good swimmers often drowned in the water. ”

"Fire and water are incompatible, but even I can't see through who killed the deer. No matter what it is, I don't want to step into it...... However, compared to the fire, the water can be involved for a short time when it is not boiling, so for the time being, take the benefits of the Zhi Clan, stand on the same line with the monarch, and wait and see what happens, the Wei Clan, will only stand on the side of the victor! ”
