Ye County, Prince Xingyuan.

Gao Lang recalled the scene he saw during the day, the team of farmers who helped the old and the young, and held hoes and rakes, and the resolute expressions that regarded death as home, and felt a little shocked in his heart, and said to Xiang Zheng at the moment: "Zihe, I really didn't expect that Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, was so loved by the Zhao people, and they did not hesitate to fight the whole country to defend him. ”

Xiang Zhengdao: "Although Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, is cowardly by nature, he treats the people under his rule very leniently, and the oral endowment and calculation endowment are repeatedly reduced and reduced, and the field endowment is only twenty taxes and one, and the palace is also extremely frugal. ”

Gao Lang nodded, and muttered: "It seems that this Zhang Ao is still a good monarch, no wonder he can be so loved by the Zhao people." ”

"Good monarch? Good monarch? Good monarch ......" Xiang Zheng paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, sometimes frowning and whispering, sometimes hurrying to ponder, after a long time, he suddenly turned back and said to Gao Lang, "Ziliang, Zhang Ao is a good monarch, and loves the people like a son, this may be a weakness worth exploiting!" ”

"Huh?" Gao Lang exclaimed, "How did loving the people like a son become a weakness?" ”

Xiang Zhengdao: "Ziliang think, Zhang Ao loves the people like a son, how could he watch two million people of Zhao State die for his throne, and let the entire Zhao Kingdom become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood?" When he needs to choose between his throne and the life and death of the two million people of Zhao, what choice do you think he will make? ”

Gao Lang's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's right! ”

Then Gao Lang said worriedly: "But Bai Xuan is ...... person."

"Bai Xuan, he's not in Handan!" Xiang Zhengdao, "The whip is out of reach!" ”

Gao Lang clapped his fist and said excitedly: "Zihe, the candidate who went to lobby is very important, if the words are not sharp enough, I am afraid that the monarch and ministers of Zhao Guo will not be moved, if it is ......."

Without waiting for Gao Lang to finish speaking, Xiang Zheng said: "This person is none other than Wu Luo!" ”

Wu Luo, the prime minister of Qi and the country of Wu, the son of the son-in-law, the word Zhongren. Since childhood, he has been involved in martial arts and has been involved in the art of vertical and horizontal, and was admitted to Taixue at the age of sixteen, and is known for his eloquence.

"Someone!" Gao Lang turned his head and shouted, "Mr. Wu Liu, please!" ”

The guards in front of the tent took the order to go, and within a while, they invited the debater Wu Liu, who had gone out with the army, to the prince's line.

Xiang Zheng personally greeted him at the bottom of the stairs, holding Wu Liu's hands and leading him into the hall, Wu Luo was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say it. After Xiang Zheng explained the reason, Wu Luo immediately said generously: "The prince can rest assured, he will not be dishonored in the future." ”

Luoyang, the upper study of the royal palace.

"This is the Pingzhao strategy that the prince just ordered Xuanyiwei to report." Xiang Zhuang handed a secret letter to Bai Lixian, and then asked, "Ziliang, what do you think?" ”

Bai Lixian looked surprised after reading the secret letter.

After a while, he said: "Sun Tzu said: Where the law of war is used, the whole country is the first, and the country is second; The whole army is superior. Breaking the army is second; The whole brigade is the first, and the broken brigade is second; The whole pawn is the first, and the broken pawn is second; The whole army is the best. Breaking the army is second. Therefore, a hundred battles are won, and the good ones who are not good are also; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, and the good ones are also good. The prince's flat Zhao strategy is really a model here. ”

"Ziliang, keep your reputation, right?" Xiang Zhuang was modest in his mouth, but he was also extremely happy in his heart, Xiang Zheng was able to come up with a Pingzhao strategy that would surrender without a fight, which shows that he is not a reckless man who only knows how to use force, no matter whether this Pingzhao strategy can succeed in the end. This was something to celebrate for him, and even more so for the Chu State.

Then Xiang Zhuang asked again: "Ziliang, do you think this Ping Zhao strategy can succeed?" ”

Xiang Zhuang was also concerned about chaos, so he lost his judgment, but Bai Lixian was a bystander. At the moment, he shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "King, the minister thinks that this strategy will work." ”

Xiang Zhuang said again: "Is it appropriate to take Zhang Jing as the king of Zhao?" ”…,

Xiang Zheng directly proposed to establish Zhang Jing as the king of Zhao without asking for instructions in advance, which made Xiang Zhuang a little unhappy. Originally, all the affairs of the Chu State were all decided by him alone, but now there is suddenly another person who can take charge of things, which really makes Xiang Zhuang a little unaccustomed, even if this person is his son and the prince of the Chu State.

Baili Xian naturally knew Xiang Zhuang's thoughts, but he also knew that setting up Zhang Jing as the king of Zhao was the best choice at the moment, because Zhang Jing had a shallow foundation in Zhao State, and if he wanted to keep his throne, he had to hug the thick leg of Chu State, which was conducive to Chu State's control of Zhao State, and said cautiously at the moment: "The minister thinks that it is appropriate." ”

The next morning, Wu Luo came to the outside of Handan City in white clothes and riding alone.

The Zhao army defending the city did not dare to have the slightest carelessness, and after Wu Luo Daoming came to see the festival again, he did not open the city gate, but just hung down the hanging basket and raised Wu Luo to the head of the city.

Hearing that Chu was coming, Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, urgently summoned the old country Xianggao, the minister of state Zhang Jing and other civil and military ministers to gather in the main hall.

In the sound of bells and drums, Wu Luo went straight into the main hall proudly, first visited Zhang Ao in accordance with the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and then took out a letter of state from his sleeve and presented it, and said loudly: "This is the national letter of my Great Chu, please see the King of Zhao." ”

A chamberlain had already stepped forward to take the letter of state, and handed it to Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, with both hands.

Zhang Ao hurriedly read the national letter, his face suddenly became gray, and the old country Xianggao who was standing at the foot of the stairs was so anxious that he walked with his hand again and again, and the inner servant did not dare to slack off, and quickly passed the national letter to Guan Gao.

After reading the national letter, Guan Gao was so angry that he threw the national letter on the hall, pointed at Wu Luo with the cane in his hand and reprimanded him sharply: "The vertical son is so rampant?!" ”

Minister Zhang Jing pouted his butt and picked up the national letter from the ground, but he was stunned when he saw it.

Dare to feel that this is the edict of the king of Chu ordering Zhang Ao to abdicate, and also threatened that if Zhang Ao does not abdicate, the state of Chu will launch an army of 500,000 to attack Zhao, and the land of Handan will become a sea of corpses and blood, especially what makes Zhang Jing feel embarrassed is that the king of Chu actually ordered Zhang Ao to give him the throne, which is really a bit unexpected by him.

At this time, several ministers also came over to see the content of the edict, and under the exchange of ears, the ministers of the palace all knew the content of the edict, and when the ministers looked at Zhang Ao and Zhang Jing, they all looked a little strange, speaking of which Zhang Jing was also the brother of the first king Zhang Er, and he could be regarded as a child of the royal family.

"Ridiculous, ridiculous!" Lao Guan Gao slammed the ground with the cane in his hand, and actually stomped the gold bricks on the ground, and said angrily, "I, the monarch of Zhao, how can I be the monarch of another country who wants to stand up and abolish it if he wants to......"

"The old minister said this is wrong." Wu Luo interrupted the high road, "My great Chu first king is the king of the world, the princes of the eighteen roads in the past, including the king of Han, are all subject to his edict, and now he is adhering to the will of the first king, especially the martial arts of Wenzhi, the wise and the martial arts, the king of Wei, the king of Qi and the king of the North Mink are all subject to it, how can the monarch of Zhao not have the right to abolish it?" ”

Guan Gao said: "In the past, the princes of the Eighteenth Road respected the king of Chu as the king of the world, because the king of Chu had outstanding prestige and the world was salty. ”

Wu Luo flicked his sleeves suddenly, and said sarcastically: "The law of etiquette, how can it be said that it can be wasted? How can you, King Chubo, say that you Zhao Guo can be disrespectful? If everyone does not respect their elders and cannot see them, how is it different from animals? "These words are almost pointing at Lao Guangao's nose and scolding, you are a beast.

Lao Guan Gao has always been a man of his word in Zhao Guo, when did he receive such insults? Suddenly, even his lungs exploded, but after all, the law of etiquette is a heavenly rule, the old guy held back his anger, and said in a deep voice: "The king of Chu is indeed the king of the world, but my king is virtuous and respectful, and he is kind and respectful, and he is kind and loves the people like a son, what reason does the king of Chu have to abolish his throne?" ”…,

Wu Luo said abruptly: "King Zhao mistakenly used traitors like Bai Xuan and Bai Yan to endanger other countries and bring disasters to Zhao State, which is unvirtuous; King Zhao used the murder weapon to attract the disaster of swords and soldiers for the millions of people of Zhao State, which is bad; What is the use of keeping such unvirtuous and bad kings, and what is the pity of abolishing them? ”

After a pause, Wu Luo said again: "Millions of Zhao people, would you rather burn jade and stone?" ”

Wu Luo's last sentence is a naked threat, which means that our King of Chu has abolished the King of Zhao, are you Zhao people willing to fight with me for a waste who is destined to abdicate? As the so-called person who knows the times is a handsome man, you better think about it.

As soon as these words came out, the full hall of civil and military was shocked and angry, shocked by the ambition of the Chu State, but angry by the aggressive and arrogant posture of the Chu envoy, really our Zhao State is easy to bully? Is it really true that we have a million Zhao Guomen who are muddy and paper-paste? Even if it is a bloody battle for the whole country, even if it is a desperate fight, it will never make your Chu country feel good!

Only Zhang Ao, the king of Zhao, who was the chief of the army, was already shocked and trembled.

Lao Guan was so angry that he was angry, and immediately stretched out his dry right hand and pointed at Wu Luo and shouted: "Come on, drag this shaft down with the old man, cook it!" ”

Lao Guangao has a prestige in Zhao State, and as soon as he shouted the order, there were really two guards in front of the palace who stepped forward, dragged Wu Luo and walked out of the hall, Wu Luo did not struggle, just turned his head and coldly swept Zhao Guojun and his ministers, and said abruptly: "The dynasty of a country, it is roaring in the hall by the head of Hao, and it is killed by the old thief with gray hair, how grotesque, how ridiculous?" ”

Before leaving the palace gate, Wu Luo raised his head to the sky and laughed: "Zhang Ao Pifu, Guan Gao old thief, you just wait for 500,000 Chu Jia to kill Handan, Zhao Guo just wait for the blood to flow into a river and corpses all over the field, hahaha......"

Zhang Ao's face became more and more earthy, and in a trance, he seemed to see a mountain of corpses.

"Cook, cook!" Lao Guan Gao paused again and again, "The old man will eat his meat, and he will eat his meat!" ”

"Stop!" Seeing that Wu Luo was about to be dragged out of the palace by the guards, Zhang Ao, who was sitting on the chief, stretched out his hands and finally spoke tremblingly, "Killing envoys without permission is ominous to the country." ”

Lao Guan Gao said angrily: "Such arrogant people, why kill them? ”

"Thou shalt not be killed." Zhang Ao waved his hand, as if he had made some kind of decision in his heart, and said resolutely at the moment, "What's more, what the envoy said is not a lie, since the widow succeeded to the throne, although he trembled and worked hard every day, he finally felt that his talent was insufficient and he was incompetent, so the widow decided to give way to Uncle Wang."
