Zhang Yi looked at Gongsun Yan in a daze, and thought: "This Gongsun Yan's words seem mysterious, is there some mystery hidden?" ”

Zhang Yiha smiled and said: "What is the friendship between the two of us, and what is suitable or inappropriate to talk about, although it is just to say it, I am humbly taught." ”

Gongsun Yan saw Zhang Yi as a mask of laughter, but he himself looked serious, he said: "I think there are some things that Prime Minister Zhang has not told me yet, such as your next move, I don't believe that you are so willing to return home, in vain, and you have worked hard in vain." ”

Zhang Yi was surprised in her heart, and thought: "This Gongsun Yan really doesn't seem to be easy to fool, he has other plans, and he can even see it." However, there is nothing to hide in this matter, after all, Gongsun Yan is also standing in the same trench as himself. ”

Zhang Yi immediately laughed twice, hiding a trace of embarrassment on his face. He said: "Whoever knows me is General Gongsun. This little thought and strategy of mine, where can I escape the discerning eyes of your General Gongsun. ”

"I'm about to discuss it with General Gongsun after dealing with the affairs of our army. No, didn't I send someone to invite you urgently! ”

Zhang Yi then used the letter in his hand as evidence to coerce Zhao Guo's plan to create chaos in Handan and interfere with the Huanshui Conference of the Hezong Alliance, and briefly explained it to Gongsun Yan.

After Gongsun Yan heard this, he snorted in his nose and said: "I just know that you won't stop here, you hide it from me like this, but it's not authentic, how do you know that I don't have anything more conducive to your next move?" ”

Zhang Yi's eyes widened suddenly, and he was even more surprised, Gongsun Yan also had preparations for the future, which was beyond his expectations. He also suddenly felt in his heart that Gongsun Yan was not an ordinary shrewdness, if this kind of person became his opponent, it would be really difficult to deal with.

Zhang Yi originally helped Gongsun Yan get out of trouble during the Battle of Michi, and arranged for him to return to the former suzerainty of Wei, in order to be able to lay a chess piece in the Hezong Alliance and change the overall situation of Hezong at a critical moment.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Yan probably took advantage of Zhang Yi's psychology, so he readily agreed, but it was difficult to guarantee that he didn't have his own plans in his heart. Out of Gongsun Yan's own interests, how could he obey Zhang Yi and the Qin State from beginning to end?

Zhang Yi hissed a few breaths of cool air, he smiled aloud again, and said: "General Gongsun is really good at laughing, I didn't want to hide what I did from you, why be suspicious?" Our sincere cooperation will definitely make the Nahe Zong Conference fall apart. ”

As Zhang Yi spoke, he took out the two silk letters from his arms, handed them to Gongsun Yan, and said: "This army is busy with affairs, and I haven't had time to show General Gongsun these two letters, so that General Gongsun is suspicious of me, it is my fault, and I am offended." ”

Zhang Yi took the initiative to show Gongsun Yan these two letters, but also to dispel his doubts, when Zhang Yi heard that Gongsun Yan talked about his prior arrangements, he was even more determined to cooperate with Gongsun Yan again, so that his actions were more carefully planned. For the sake of a common goal, it would be extremely unwise not to cooperate.

Gongsun Yan took the letter, took a few cursory glances, and returned the letter to Zhang Yi, he looked full of confidence, and said: "Actually, I don't need Prime Minister Zhang Cheng to show the letter, I also guessed who Zhao Guo is the person who does the internal response for the Lin Hu people?" I'm just going to bluff him. ”

"However, with these two letters in Prime Minister Zhang's hand, he is even more convinced and willing to work for us."

Zhang Yi smiled and asked, "If I heard it correctly just now, I remember that General Gongsun said that you will have something extremely beneficial to me, I wonder what kind of surprise General Gongsun will give me?" ”

Gongsun Yan looked at Zhang Yi steadily, as if he was weighing whether it was worth telling Zhang Yi what he had mastered, but he quickly decided.

Gongsun Yanha laughed and said, "The old man thinks that the person who can match me is none other than you, Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, since they are all smart people, then let's open the window and say something." For the sake of his own future, the old man deliberately arranged a nail in the envoy Chen Xu of the Wei State, maybe he would be able to use it when he could. ”

He suddenly stopped laughing again, and said solemnly: "Now that we have Zhao Guo's internal response, plus the pre-arranged personnel, we should be able to make a difference." ”

Gongsun Yan then told Zhang Yi about the situation of the personnel he had arranged, as well as his plans. As soon as Zhang Yi heard it, he understood.

The so-called each for himself, taking the same while reserving differences. It turned out that Gongsun Yan did this because of his own interests, and at present, in the Wei State, Gongsun Yan can be said to be in power, but he can't cross one person, that is, Chen Xu, the prime minister of the Wei State.

He bribed a very important person in Chen Xu's entourage to envoy Zhao Guo and participated in the joint vertical conference, and the purpose was precisely to make trouble at the joint vertical conference, and take the opportunity to get rid of his political enemies on the way forward, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhang Yi thought to herself: "Gongsun Yan's calculations cannot be described as imrigorous, nor can they be described as indelicate. This person's ingenuity is really not to be underestimated. ”

However, with the exquisite layout of Gongsun Yan, combined with the breakthrough found temporarily in Zhao's country, it is not difficult to set off a monstrous wave in Handan, Zhao State.

The so-called lost east, harvested Sangyu, failed in the military operation to capture the prince of Zhao in Huo Taishan, but inadvertently brought out such an opportunity, Zhang Yi sighed in his heart: "God really help me!" ”

And now this opportunity is better, with less effort and more results. Zhang Yi couldn't help but regret a little: "In the past, the labor mobilized the people, not to mention the money, food, cloth and silk of the Qin State, and let the army come from far away, it really outweighed the loss." ”

Although he regretted it in his heart, he didn't want Gongsun Yan to say it, and at the same time, Zhang Yi also knew very well: "Things are often unintentional, and various opportunities appear step by step, and the evolution of everything will not follow the rules, which is also the reason why this thing is not absolute and changes with all changes." ”

Zhang Yi thought to herself: "Presumably, his grandson Yan and I are the same, they originally thought that the trick of capturing the prince of Zhao was more appropriate, and it was even more stable, so they invariably chose to sneak attack the prince of Zhao." In this case, if he showed remorse in front of Gongsun Yan, wouldn't it make Gongsun Yan grab the handle and ridicule himself? ”

At the same time, Zhang Yi couldn't help but be alert to Gongsun Yan's ambitions, and he found that Gongsun Yan's ambition was to be the prime minister of a princely country, under one person, above ten thousand people, and his ambition was not small.

"If Gongsun Yan becomes the prime minister of Wei State, he no longer needs to be an external response himself, then will he still be desperate to help him do it?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but shake her head.

Gongsun Yan is different from Zhang Yi and Su Qin, they all have to choose a path that is either horizontal or vertical, and there is no other choice. But Gongsun Yan doesn't seem to care at all about choosing to be in harmony or choosing to be horizontal, it seems that it is more important for him to keep his absolute power.

"For the sake of this absolute power, Gongsun Yan can be vertical or horizontal. That's what makes him scary! Zhang Yi thought of this, and he unconsciously shook his head again.

Gongsun Yan stared at Zhang Yi, looking at his reaction, he didn't see Zhang Yi supporting him, but saw Zhang Yi shaking his head, Gongsun Yan thought that Zhang Yi was against his plan, he said anxiously: "Didn't Prime Minister Zhang see the subtlety of the old man's game?" Why don't you shake your head? ”

Gongsun Yan's interjection interrupted Zhang Yi's contemplation, he eased up from his thoughts, quickly dispelled Gongsun Yan's doubts, and said: "Why did General Gongsun say this, I know very well what I want, and it would be better to get your accomplice." We are all in this together, and this will be a great success. ”

The two of them immediately started a detailed plot on the next move, of course, they didn't dare to let outsiders know about this kind of secret thing, so Zhang Yi sent away all the guards under his account.

After plotting for an hour, the two men checked every detail of the operation, and then they looked at each other and smiled, each with their own plans.

Gongsun Yan said: "It's a pity that the affairs of the army are busy today, and the old man will also go back to the camp of the Wei army and dismiss the Wei army to return to China." If it weren't for the tense situation, we could have had a drink together for this plot to express our hearts. ”

Zhang Yi also showed great regret and responded: "General Gongsun expressed my thoughts, it's a pity that I can't have a drink to celebrate." However, why should we be in a hurry, when the plot is accomplished in the future, it is not too late for us to drink bitterly. ”

Gongsun Yan also agreed, and the two laughed loudly together. Later, Gongsun Yan resigned and went back to deal with the affairs of the Wei army, and Zhang Yi also seized the time to take care of his military affairs clearly.

Early the next morning, the Qin and Wei armies, under the leadership of their respective temporary commanders, set off on the road home. However, Zhang Yi and Gongsun Yan each led more than 20 people to their personal entourage, disguised as Lin Hu merchants, and embarked on another road, which was from Jinyang to Zhending, and they were ready to take Yangquan Pass, reach Zhending City, and then go south into Handan.

On this day, the large army led by Qu Xin also arrived at the Fukou Pass in the middle of the Taihang Mountain, and he saw Zhou Shao, who was anxiously waiting there, and the two met under the pass, hugged each other warmly, and wept with joy.

Qu Xin asked about the whereabouts of the crown prince Zhao Yong, Zhou Shao smiled lightly, and replied: "I saw him at Fukou Pass yesterday, and under the escort of three thousand soldiers, he has returned to Handan overnight. ”
