Chapter 176: The General Trend of the World

In the hall, the silence of the needle drop could be heard, and Zhang Hong's face became a little ugly, but he was obviously trying his best to restrain himself, Lin Xiangru's words were something he didn't expect, but every word was true, and he couldn't find any words to refute it.

Zhao Fan looked at Lin Xiangru, who seemed to have changed into a different person, and nodded secretly in his heart. The former is very elegant in ordinary times, but whenever it comes to deliberately humiliating Zhao Guo, he can stand up and have an extremely tough attitude, as if he has changed people.

In the entire hall, only the three of them were having a wine banquet, because of what they said just now, the atmosphere was a little awkward, Zhang Hong's face was also blue for a while, red for a while, Lin Xiangru's words were undoubtedly slapping him in the face.

"Haha, Lord Fake is very good, it's the first time I've heard such an incisive analysis, Doctor Shang, what do you think?" Zhao Fan suddenly laughed, he turned his head to look at Zhang Hong, and there was a meaningful smile in his eyes.

Lin Xiangru's words just now, the terrain and strength of Zhao Guo were analyzed in detail, this is the first time Zhao Fan has heard such incisive words, and it is also the first time to appreciate Lin Xiangru's talent from the bottom of his heart.

To say that before, Zhao Fan was in awe of this generation of famous people because of the history he had learned in his previous life, and it was not until now that he saw Lin Xiangru's talent in person, but he didn't expect the former to be a blockbuster.

Zhang Hong's smile at the moment seemed a little far-fetched, and there was a trace of anger in his heart that was born of being humiliated, but thinking of King Qin's explanation, he could only hold back this anger and didn't dare to attack.

A small banquet ended like this, in this embarrassing atmosphere, everyone knew that this time the Qin State sent an envoy to Zhao, there would be no good thing, but it was still necessary to treat him well, Zhang Hong was the envoy of the Qin State after all, representing the King of Qin, although there were some things, both sides knew it, but they couldn't show it.

Because the people of this era pay attention to their own reputation, and the vassal states attach great importance to their reputation, because only in this way can they attract people from all over the world to come to their own countries to serve.

After leaving the hotel, Zhao Fan's face was completely gloomy, Zhang Hong was arrogant, not only contemptuous of Zhao Guo, but also seemed to have a strong hostility towards himself, although the former was hidden very deeply, but Zhao Fan could still feel it.

As for the reason, Zhao Fan didn't have to think too much to know that it must be because when he was in Linzi, he had attacked the former's camp, and Zhang Hong, as Wei Ran's son-in-law, must have been instructed by Wei Ran before coming to Zhao again.

Although he knew that Zhang Hong might be unfavorable to him, Zhao Fan was not too worried, his current identity was different from before, he was just a small officer before, but now, he is a dignified son, not to mention that in the native Zhao State, even if he goes to other vassal states, those monarchs will not dare to do anything.

After all, his current identity can already represent the entire Zhao State, and if someone wants to deal with himself, he must first weigh whether he can withstand the wrath of the Zhao State, after all, King Huiwen is a very protective monarch.

Returning to the Plains Junfu from the hotel, it was late at night, Zhao Fan came to his courtyard, Li Bingbing and Mu Niang were already asleep, after experiencing the madness of last night, they had moved in with Zhao Fan, and their relationship was known to everyone, so they didn't have to care about other people's eyes.

Zhao Fan stood in front of the doors of the two rooms and muttered for a while, and finally came to Li Bingbing's room, Zhao Fan gently came to the former's side, took off his coat, and in order not to wake up Li Bingbing, he tiptoed up and down, and slowly lay down.

Li Bingbing's sleeping appearance is very moving, her body is extremely soft, Zhao Fan gently hugged her, and there was also a strange feeling in his heart, the first time he hugged a woman to sleep, which made him feel quite surprised.

was thinking about his thoughts, but Li Bingbing suddenly turned around, turned over, and hugged Zhao Fan tightly.

Zhao Fan jumped in shock, and then reacted, Li Bingbing was pretending to sleep just now, and it seemed that he was waiting for him to come back, so he immediately hugged her tightly, feeling the former's soft body, and her lower abdomen was also a little hot.

"Brother Fan, why did you come back so late." Li Bingbing raised his head and looked at him with a pair of reddened autumn eyes, with a touch of concern in his eyes.

Zhao Fan hugged her, forcibly held back the evil thoughts in his heart, and said: "Today, the Qin State sent an envoy to my Da Zhao, I just went to the pavilion to meet the envoy, after all, the Qin State is a country of tigers and wolves, and there must be nothing good to come to my Da Zhao." ”

With Li Bingbing on the collapse, Zhao Fan was not in the mood to talk about these national affairs, hugging the former's soft and fiery body, he felt unusually comfortable and peaceful, although he was now in the Warring States, but Zhao Fan was used to this kind of life.

has a brother, a sister, a wife, and a group of friends, Zhao Fan, who came to this era, has undoubtedly integrated into this era and has long adapted to his current identity.

Although they only met with King Huiwen and Pingyuan Jun later, the relationship between the three brothers is still very good, no matter what, the resonance in the bloodline cannot be changed, not to mention, everything Zhao Fan has done, everyone is looking at it.

Zhao Yaer's relationship with King Huiwen and Pingyuanjun, under the bond of Zhao Fan, the relationship is also quite good, although they are not brothers and sisters, but after all, they have a very good relationship with Zhao Fan from childhood to adulthood.

Moreover, if there was no adoption by Zhao Fan's adoptive parents, perhaps Zhao Fan might not have survived until now.

Thinking about the scene for nearly a year, Zhao Fan was also full of emotion in his heart, from a hunter in Bairen City to a general of a country now, a dignified son, it was really like a dream.

However, Zhao Fan also knew that he could make such great progress, which was inseparable from the help of Li Feng and Lian Po and others, although he also put in hard work, even blood, but if he was an ordinary person, even if his ability was very outstanding, it was not so easy to get ahead, not to mention that it was only a year away.

At this time, Li Bingbing was already asleep, and Zhao Fan thought that he would participate in the morning dynasty tomorrow, and he would have a banquet with King Huiwen to entertain Zhang Hong in the evening, so he temporarily suppressed these thoughts and slowly fell asleep.

In general, when I saw Zhang Hong this time, although there was already some gunpowder in the words of several people, they did not tear their faces, so when Zhao Fan saw Zhang Hong the next day, the two still greeted each other with a smile, just like old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Zhao Fan didn't know when he could be so hypocritical, obviously disgusted with Zhang Hong in his heart, but there was no flaw on the surface, and even Zhang Hong was almost moved to release his previous suspicions with Zhao Fan.

Of course, this thought only flashed in Zhang Hong's mind, thinking of Wei Ran's instructions before leaving, his eyes flickered again, and his smile was obviously much more fake.

Zhang Hong's intention this time, everyone knows it, but even so, Zhao Guo can't treat him slowly, after all, he is the envoy of Qin, and he is a special envoy of the King of Qin.

After participating in the early dynasty, Zhao Fan took Zhang Hong and traveled all over the streets and alleys of Handan City.

Of course, Zhao Fan also put forward some advanced concepts from his previous life, which played a great role in the governance of Zhao State.

Although King Huiwen is only in his twenties, he has been a king for more than ten years, and he is talented, although some of Zhao Fan's words are incomprehensible, but after thinking about it for a long time, he can also understand the meaning.

"Well, it's really good, it's a fight with our Daqin's Di Dao City." On top of the tall city of Handan City, Zhang Hong glanced at the entire Handan, looked at the direction of the palace, and said with a slight contempt.

Didao City is the largest city in the Qin State except for the capital Xianyang.

Hearing his words, the corners of Zhao Fan's mouth twitched slightly, comparing Handan, the capital of Zhao State, to Di Dao, the second largest city in Qin State, didn't he deliberately say that Zhao was inferior to Qin, and was he worse than Qin?

Zhao Fan has been patient with Zhang Hong's contemptuous tone for a long time, listening to him say this, if it weren't for Zhao Sheng quickly pulling him on the side, maybe he would have turned his face on the spot.

Seeing Zhao Sheng shaking his head, Zhao Fan also took a deep breath, suppressed some anger, and then said: "Doctor Shang, let's continue the tour, my son is slightly unwell, so I'll go back to the house first." ”

After speaking, he didn't look at Zhang Hong, walked down the city, and walked towards the palace.

Zhang Hong looked at his back, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the palace, King Huiwen was discussing state affairs with several confidants and important ministers such as Lian Po and Lin Xiangru, and when he saw Zhao Fan coming, King Huiwen also smiled and said: "Why didn't Brother Fan go to explore Zhang Hong's tone." ”

It turned out that Zhao Fan, who was the right person, took the initiative to accompany Zhang Hong, in fact, he wanted to understand the situation of Qin from Zhang Hong, after all, the end of the year was close at hand, and soon after, Zhao and Qi would meet in Adi to discuss the matter of attacking Qin.

Therefore, at this juncture, it is necessary to understand the situation of the Qin State, and Zhang Hong's special identity is naturally the best candidate.

Zhao Fan had calmed down at the moment, and when he thought about it now, he realized that Zhang Hong was deliberately provoking him just now, and immediately sat on the couch on the ground, and said: "This Zhang Hong is not a simple person, he just said that Handan City can only be compared with Di Dao of Qin State, I think it was deliberately provoked with me, I didn't pay attention to it just now, and I only reacted now." ”

Hearing this, everyone was also shocked, they didn't expect this Zhang Hong to be hidden, so different from him on the surface, originally everyone thought that he was just an arrogant person, even if he had some talents, it should be extremely limited, but I didn't expect the former to be so scheming.

"Then what should we do about attacking Qin when the time comes?" Huiwen Wang Road.

The Six Kingdoms attacked Qin, but it was a big event, King Huiwen was also a little nervous in his heart, he was now eager to know the information about Qin's military and national strength, if Zhang Hong couldn't find a breakthrough there, it would be a little troublesome.

Hearing this, Zhao Fan didn't speak, but his heart was extremely complicated, the Six Kingdoms attacked Qin, it sounded good, but is it really that simple?

The historical record of Su and Qin contacted the six countries and attacked the Qin State together, but it was only to attack the Hangu Pass, and finally due to the uneven distribution, there was internal strife, so that the Qin State found an opportunity, resulting in the separation of the six countries.

After all, the six countries have six plans, and they have different dreams in the same bed, and it is difficult to share the same hatred at all, and even if they are united, it is only extremely short-lived.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fan suddenly remembered King Zhao Wuling's plan before his death, and he was immediately shocked in his heart.

He was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Brother Wang, General Lian, do you know why the first king was passed on to Brother Wang?" ”

Hearing this, everyone was also slightly stunned, but they quickly reacted, and immediately said: "The first king was originally to avoid being interfered with by national politics and to attack Zhongshan Kingdom, so he abdicated and focused on the military aspect. ”

For this, almost all the upper-level magnates of Zhao State know, and it turns out that King Wuling of Zhao did this, and within a few years of his abdication, he attacked Zhongshan, destroyed Loulan and Hu people, and for a while, the national strength was great.

"Everyone only knows one thing, but they don't know the other, after the first king annexed Zhongshan Kingdom, he also had the ambition to swallow Qin." Zhao Fan paused, and continued under the surprised gaze of everyone: "Compared with the strength at that time, my Great Zhao is indeed inferior to the Qin State, but the Qin State has the ambition of annexation, and has been using troops to the east, and invaded the Chu State in the south, and has less defense against the north. Under the circumstance that the northern line of the Qin State was not well prepared, as long as the law was implemented, it was possible to realize this strategic plan of the former king. Moreover, the Qin State had already begun to annex the countries head-on at that time, as long as the Qin State existed, the danger of the destruction of our Great Zhao would always exist at the same time, and only by giving the Qin State a blow of destruction could the danger of the Zhao State be eliminated strategically as a whole. ”

The implementation of Zhao Wuling's plan to swallow Qin is indeed somewhat risky, but it is a necessary step to win in the weak and remove strategic hidden dangers, and if it succeeds, it will be enough to reverse the situation in the Warring States......

Zhao Fan's words shocked everyone, because King Zhao Wuling did not send troops, so they didn't know that King Wuling actually had such an earth-shattering idea, although this idea was bold, it was also reasonable.

However, before the former could implement the plan, he starved to death in the dunes due to civil strife.

"This ...... Brother Fan, how do you know? King Huiwen said incredulously.

Even King Huiwen didn't expect King Zhao Wuling to have such ambitions at the beginning, and he had never heard of it, and now he was surprised, needless to say, he just didn't expect that Zhao Fan would know this.

"If I say that the first king entrusted me with a dream, will you believe it?" Zhao Fan pretended to be mysterious. Otherwise, do you still say that you have traveled through the 21st century?

Hearing this, everyone also nodded, and they faintly believed it.

People in this era have some superstitious concepts, and they don't even doubt this kind of thing, Zhao Fan also felt very funny when he saw their appearance, but he also forcibly held back.

Everyone knew that Zhao Fan had something to say, and they immediately looked at him.

"I guess that this time our Da Zhao contacted the other five countries to attack Qin, it may not be so easy, especially the Qi State, they have been peeping at the Song State for a long time, but they have been suffering from the interference of the Qin State, so they have not been able to destroy the Song State for a long time, who can guarantee that the Qi State will not take this opportunity to destroy the Song State this time." Zhao Fan looked at everyone and said slowly.

The Song State is a piece of fat, no matter which country can annex it, it can obtain huge benefits, of course, the strength of that country must be very strong, otherwise, it will be a crime.

For example, in history, it was the State of Qi that took advantage of the Five Kingdoms to drag down the State of Qin, and destroyed the State of Song, but not long after the annexation of the State of Song, due to the sudden annexation of such a piece of fat by the State of Qi, which aroused the suspicion of other countries, and then the State of Qin followed this opportunity to unite with other countries and attack Qi.

Although the Qi State is rich, it is slightly weak in military aspects, and there is no Hangu Pass of the Qin State, there are plains everywhere, and the five countries attacked Qi directly to Linzi, and annexed all the more than 70 cities of the Qi State, and finally only three cities remained.

If it weren't for the suspicion of Le Yi by the monarch of the Yan State and the change of generals on the spot, maybe the Qi Kingdom would have been destroyed long ago.

"So what do you mean?" At this time, Lian Po had already heard that Zhao Fan seemed to have other thoughts about the Six Kingdoms' attack on Qin, and immediately asked.

Hearing this, Zhao Fan also nodded and said, "That's right, I expect that this battle of the Six Kingdoms against Qin will not go well." Therefore, we can follow the idea of the first king, detour to Jiuyuan, take advantage of the light horse, sneak over the desert wasteland, and go straight to Xianyang, the capital of Qin. Of course, this also requires a fake army to unite with the other five countries to contain the Qin army in the front. ”

The people present were all the confidants and ministers of King Huiwen, so they didn't have to worry about someone leaking this matter, otherwise Zhao Fan would not have said such an important thing like this.

Immediately, everyone was also shocked, King Huiwen's face was a little complicated, but Lian Po Lin was like a bright eye.

King Huiwen's courage really can't be compared with King Wuling, and after listening to Zhao Fan's words, he immediately hesitated, but Zhao Fan naturally had a way to explain him, because the former was still a reasonable king.

After Zhao Fan said the plan in detail, Lian Po also applauded, King Huiwen knew that the former's statement was indeed effective, and after a little reason, he also agreed, of course, this is just a preliminary idea, as for specific matters, it needs to be carefully planned.

After returning to the Plains Monarch's Mansion, Zhao Fan also carefully thought about the future of Zhao State, and now Qin State has a faint tendency to unify the six countries, so for Zhao State, the biggest threat is Qin.

If Zhao wants to be strong, he must first solve the Qin State, and then he will have a chance to deal with other countries, after all, when today, the three heroes are strong, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao and Qi are the three most powerful countries today, and these three countries are the most powerful in Qin.

Qin State borders Zhao State, Qin State is destroyed, and Zhao State will naturally be able to take the biggest advantage at that time, compared to the destruction of Qi, it is undoubtedly more beneficial to Zhao to destroy Qin. (To be continued.) )
