Chapter 179: Hidden Mysteries

Hesitation has always been the habit of King Qi, especially in the face of sudden events. Judging from the circumstances at the time, Mink Bo's plan to push the boat down the river was not wrong. If there is really a mistake, it is to break the established plan and make the Qi country fall into passivity.

The monarchs and ministers of Qi debated this, and the focus of this was the reaction of Qin. If the Qin State is eviled because of this, then the Qi State will offend half of the countries. In this case, Lu Zhonglian entered the court and pointed out sharply that the shape of the Qi State could not be worse. If you don't agree to Zhao Guo, Zhao Guo's army will arrive soon. If you are evil to the Qin State, separated by Korea and Wei State, the Qin State will not be able to take the Qi State well. The way to govern the country lies in seeking stability. If you can't keep your safety today, why worry about tomorrow's troubles.

Queen Qi also thinks so. She doesn't understand the big truth, but half of the treatise rules the world, and many things can be seen in the whole leopard. Whether or not Qin can make the trip is still two words, the army of Zhao State is on the border!

In the end, the king of Qi decided to send an envoy to reply to Mink Bo on the one hand, and on the other hand, to send someone to inform the Qin State of this important matter, sincerely saying that the Qi State would definitely not contribute to joining it.

The efficiency of the Black Ice Platform was unprecedentedly fast, and when King Zhao happily sent away the doctor Diao Bo, King Qin also got this plan from Zhao State.

In Xianyang Palace, King Qin smiled. At this juncture when Zhao State was plotting to destroy Qin, King Qin was not shocked and laughed. This made the ministers both surprised and felt a lot more at ease. When the national disaster is at hand, it is better for King Qin to laugh than to panic.

In fact, King Qin knew his last resort. After the defeat of the Qin State, it recovered a little vitality, but this was not enough to give the Qin State the confidence to oppose the Six Kingdoms. The scene of the division of the Nine Kingdoms not daring to advance will not happen for more than ten years. At present, there are many rumors circulating in the country, claiming that Qin has been punished by God because of tyranny or harsh laws, and the spearhead is pointed at himself. Some radically slander themselves for being cowardly. was frightened by Sanjin. Although he ordered to hunt down and kill some, the rumors became more and more powerful.

Now, the morale of the Qin people in Guannai has dropped to the extreme because of this slander. Although the princes and ministers understood their own hardships and the hardships of the Qin State, they did not say anything to refute them. Perhaps, they also want to see themselves who have carried the banner of the Qin State after a series of changes. Do you really have the confidence and perseverance to go on.

The character of the King of Qin determines the style of acting in the face of difficulties and becoming more and more courageous, if it is really because of a mention of King Zhao that he shows a panicked side, then it is really not the King of Qin. Since you say that the widow is cowardly, then the widow will prove it to you, and slap you in the face!

"Ladies and gentlemen, King Zhao has to make inches. The year before last, the army of Zhao was stationed in Yanmen, eyeing the enemy, and the widow did not want my Daqin's man to die in vain. Therefore, they retreated to Mayi and held out. This is the gift of the widow, King Zhao did not want to hurry, but intended to unite the five kingdoms of Qi, Wei, Yan, Han and Chu to attack my Guanzhong. Is it tolerable or unbearable, if I, Daqin, continue to retreat, wouldn't it make the world laugh! King Qin said indignantly.

Wei Ran looked at the ministers, and saw that everyone was looking at him with a look of help, wanting to express his position. He sighed slightly in his heart, but said slowly and forcefully: "Your Majesty." Zhao is unkind, and has repeatedly violated the territory of my Qin State. I, Daqin, plan for the world. Repeatedly endured. But the heart of Zhao and my Qin country will not die, and the minister thinks that this time he must severely damage or even annihilate the Zhao army, so that the countries can know the strength of my Qin country, and let the countries not dare to covet my Great Qin. ”

King Qin nodded with satisfaction, Wei Ran has always understood his mind very well since he expressed his attitude in the chaos of Gongzi City. Mentioning yì to yourself is basically in favor of it with all its might. This made Wei Ran add a lot of points in King Qin's heart.

Zong Zheng Yingsi secretly praised King Qin's decisiveness, the more rumors spread at a low ebb, the more King Qin, as the king of a country, needed to maintain his supreme authority. Otherwise, the country will not be a country. Everyone will do their own thing, and the country will be completely chaotic. Not to mention the right or wrong decision of King Qin, the first thing Wei Ran, as the prime minister, needs to do is unconditional support.

Moreover, King Qin's decision this time was extremely correct. Zhao State is pressing forward step by step, Qin State is retreating step by step, and when there is no way to retreat, the people's will of Qin State will be scattered. At that time, send a general to lead 100,000 elite soldiers, and the Qin State can be broken.

The upward cohesion and popular support of the Qin State lie in the invincible record of winning a hundred battles. On the surface, every victory in a foreign war is an expansion of territory. At a deeper level, it was a prerequisite for ensuring the support of the new landowning class for the royal family.

"Your Majesty! It is only two years for countries to recuperate! In the past two years, there have been melee battles between Qi and Chu, and it is impossible to talk about restoring strength. The Yan Kingdom is thousands of miles away from us, even if I get some benefits from my Qin Kingdom, it will not be too big. Therefore, the main force of the coalition army was actually the three armies of Han, Zhao, and Wei, especially the Zhao army on the north road and the Han army on the south road. From now on, strengthen the city defense and river defense, especially the pass, and you must not be sloppy! ”

The king of Qin was very much in favor of Zongzheng Yingsi's construction. Qi Guo leaked this news to himself as soon as possible, and it must have been the idea of not going against himself. Although the state of Chu has a deep blood feud with itself, its strength is limited, and it can only run errands behind the coalition army. It is about to overwinter, and Yan Guo should beware of Donghu's harassment year after year, and it should not send any main force.

"Wu Anjun, what do you think? If Zhao Guo is entangled with the people of the Six Kingdoms, how should I, Great Qin, deal with it? King Qin asked Bai Qi, who had been silent in thought.

Bai Qi raised his head and said in a respectful tone: "Your Majesty, even if the six kingdoms can unite and destroy our Great Qin, the difficulties are bound to emerge one after another. The coalition army is on an expedition, and the supply is unfavorable, which is a disadvantage! Our army occupies important towns and fortresses along the way, relying on geographical advantages, not to mention that one is a hundred, and one enemy is ten, it is still very certain, if the coalition forces want to advance, they are bound to suffer heavy casualties, which is two disadvantages. The people of the six countries are not in harmony, they are greedy for profit but are unwilling to contribute, and they pass the buck to each other, and the war will definitely change. These are the three disadvantages! ”

King Qin smiled, interrupted Bai Qi's speech, and said, "In this way, Wu Anjun thinks that my Great Qin will win this battle?" ”

Bai Qi nodded sternly, and said cautiously: "Before the war, no one can guarantee victory!" But the minister thinks that as long as I, Daqin, don't take the initiative to make mistakes, how many of the six-nation alliance forces come, and how many ministers have a chance to destroy! ”

For Bai Qi suddenly boasted of Haikou. King Qin laughed three times, "In this way, the widow should hope that the coalition army will come more!" Harvesting the enemy's head at the door of my house, there should be a lot of high titles in my Great Qin! ”

King Qin's joke made many people laugh from the bottom of their hearts, and the tense atmosphere before the big war was swept away. King Qin and Wu Anjun are both thinking about how to increase the number of officials and become knights, and this battle should be a revenge battle for Qin. The ministers had nothing to worry about.

Prince Zhu smiled happily as well. Tong Guò observed the King of Qin, and he knew how to mobilize the atmosphere of the court, so that the ministers could use it for themselves and contribute wisdom. If it were to be his own ruler on the stage, he would definitely ask for the opinions of the ministers with a heavy look - how to deal with the menacing Six-Nation Alliance!

King Qin liked this court atmosphere very much, and he asked Prince Zhu with concern, "Prince, how is it?" What do you think of what Wu Anjun said? ”

Prince Zhu hesitated slightly, and after sorting out his thoughts, he said unhurriedly: "Erchen thinks that what Wu Anjun said is very true. But. Zhao also has wise people, such as Shangqing Lin Xiangru. They should be able to see the depth of it, if King Zhao is domineering and insists on going his own way, they persuade and King Zhao does not listen, and the ministers think that my Great Qin can take advantage of one or two. If they did not say a word or seconded this matter, Erchen thought that there must be an ulterior motive in this. ”

King Qin frowned when he heard this, and he took it for granted that Zhao State had won one big victory after another. Only then did he get carried away, and wanted to order all countries to fight Qin together to make the countries recognize his supremacy. but ignored whether Zhao Guo would have a deeper plan.

Wei Ran looked at Prince Zhu with some surprise. To tell the truth, Prince Zhu is not as benevolent and filial as his dead brother Wang, and he can only be said to be a little clever. But maybe he is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, the former prince Zhu was afraid that he knew that he had no chance to succeed to the throne, so he simply indulged in the mountains and rivers. Who would have thought that with the death of Gongzi City, Gongzi Kui and his royal brother, he would become the only legal heir. Naturally, the perspective of thinking about problems is different - less cynical and more far-sighted.

"The secret report said that Zhao Guolin Xiangru not only did not oppose this matter, but actively promoted it." Wei Ran said this casually, but overturned Prince Zhu's first speculation. Other words. The crown prince pillar should be a task, and the monarchs and ministers of Zhao State have a plan. In other words, Lin Xiangru has a plan!

King Qin nodded and admitted that what Prime Minister Wei Ran had just said was correct. "Prince, do you think Zhao Guo has other plans this time?"

Prince Zhu nodded and said with a smile: "Father, my sons think that this time the Zhao State is thankless and wants to unite the five countries to attack my Great Qin, but it is just to continue to suppress the prestige of my Qin State." In fact, there is no benefit. The reason why Lin Xiangru promoted this matter this time should be selfish. ”

"Selfishness?" When the ministers heard this, they were all surprised, just like the King of Qin.

"This is just some immature ideas of the son, the father thinks it makes sense, just listen to it, and if it doesn't make sense, it will be regarded as a joke by the son."

The crown prince was modest, and the king of Qin teased: "Prince, you boldly say it!" The widow has your back! ”

King Qin said so, and Prince Zhu did not hesitate any longer, and said: "The father is very clear about the matter of harmony!" ”

King Qin nodded, this is what happened after the meeting of Michi, when Lin Xiangru, who successfully blocked himself from humiliating King Zhao, was promoted from the doctor to the high position of Shangqing because of this. The victorious general and Shangqing Lian were quite unconvinced by this, and he was quite unkind to Lin Xiangru in his words. Lin Xiangru didn't care, he was humble, and he was impressed by the arrogant Lian Po! led to a good story of guilt!

"Lin Xiang is such a low-born person, and Lian Po is also a border general, and he is not relied on by Zhao Guozonggui. Such a person may be able to get a high position for a while, but he will never be accepted by the upper echelons of Zhao State. Father, think about it, what kind of friends does Lin Xiangru have? Needless to say, Lian Po is straightforward and fast-talking, and there are countless people who have offended. If it weren't for Lin Xiangru by his side, people like Lian Po wouldn't even know how he died! ”

King Qin nodded secretly, this is also a tradition of the Zhao State. Those who are from civilian backgrounds can have high positions but no prestige or status. Like the feudal monarchs, the feudal monarchs of the Zhao State are all related to the royal family. Even Wangzhu Jun Le Yi is also a famous general in the world, so he won the throne by virtue of this. Speaking of which, Lin Xiangru's background is even inferior to Lian Po, Lian Po is a child of a good family, and Lin Xiangru is simply a guest who has been a eunuch.

(Give me half an hour, write the rest of the part, and those who have already subscribed can refresh and read again.) I'm back too late, sorry! )

Zhao Guo, Handan.

Qi has been in the limelight recently, which has stirred up the Central Plains. Whether it was a surprise attack on the Chu State or a-for-tat confrontation with the Yan army, this was not in line with the previous style of the Qi State. However, this also gave Zhao Guo a pretext and was in righteousness. King Zhao decided to send troops to teach the Qi State a lesson.

For sending troops, Zhao Guoqun's ministers were divided into two camps. Conservatives thought that winter was approaching and supplies were unfavorable; The main battle faction thought that the soldiers were fast and consciously controlled the scale of the war, so that the Qi country could be more restrained.

Therefore, a month after the strike of the Qi State, the army of the Zhao State quickly assembled and headed for the border of Zhao and Qi, and the leader was the infamous national lieutenant Zhao Hao. Qi Guo reacted much more cautiously. On the one hand. The king of Qi sent Tian Dan as a general and sent 50,000 troops to defend the defense line of the river (i.e., the Yellow River), and on the other hand, the king of Qi sent envoys to Handan to ask questions.

In just five days, the envoys of Qi arrived in Handan. The envoy was the high-ranking and powerful Doctor Diao Bo in the Qi State.

Mink Bo knew that every day of delay would make the Qi country more dangerous. The worst part is that Qi Guo doesn't know at all. He didn't offend Zhao Guo, and Zhao Guoxing moved everyone to commit crimes. It's crazy to smoke something. For Qi Guo, this is a completely unwarranted disaster. The joy of stealing the two counties of Chu a few months ago was instantly washed away.

In terms of national strength, Zhao Guo threw out several streets of Qi State. In just over ten years, the overlord of the world commanded by the State of Qi, and the glorious years of the two emperors of the East and the West along with the Qin State were still completely lost. What Mink Bo needs to know most is why Zhao Guo puts pressure on himself. When I met King Zhao, I was able to prescribe the right medicine.

Mink Bo found the easiest way, and that was to find the eunuch Ling Miaoxian. If you find a similar Qing Lin, you are likely to eat a soft nail. As for Pingyuan Jun Zhao Sheng and Xinping Jun Lian Po, they are counting on something smaller. Miao Xian is different. As the leader of the eunuchs, he must know why. What's more, because of Lin Xiangru's relationship, he also became King Zhao's confidant. If he is asked to speak for Qi Guo, it is very hopeful and useful.

The only regret is that Miao Xian has lived in the palace for a long time to serve King Zhao, so he actually doesn't have much time to go out. However, this is not difficult for Mink Bo, the huge profit of ten gold was smashed, and Miao Xian, who was in the palace, finally agreed to come out to meet him.

In a restaurant in Handan, Mink Bo said in a very flattering tone: "The adults work day and night, and they are really a model for the people in the palace!" As a foreign minister, Bo is also very admirable. Come, I'll toast you! ”

A smile appeared on Miao Xian's face, and he replied, "Doctor, you really like to laugh." You and other courtiers have the talent to stabilize the country, and you are doing great things for the country and the people. The old slave will only serve people, and will only serve the king, and compared with you, it is far behind! ”

Diao Bo shook his head and retorted with a smile: "Lin Shangqing came out of your mansion. Even if it's a Maxima, we need a Bole like you. Ha ha! ”

Miao Xian laughed and recommended Lin Xiangru to King Zhao, which was the greatest pride of his life. No one thought that the person who was still a small doorman would actually be in a high position and become a guest. For Mink's compliment, Miao Xian gladly accepted it.

As soon as he heard that it was the envoy of the Qi State, the Shangdai Doctor Diao Bo, who came to find him, Miao Xian immediately guessed the other party's intention. Now the national captain Zhao Hao and Tian Dan's army face each other across the river. Although there was no conflict between the two sides, no one could tell when the Zhao army would withdraw. The arrival of Zhao Jun is much more than what Yan Jun brings. The other party must have been the cause of the inquiry.

Speaking of the cause, the eunuch Ling Miao Xian really knew. But it doesn't mean that Miao Xian himself must sue the other party. As long as the other party is smart enough, he should understand what he means.

After saying some common words, Mink Bo's expression became very solemn, and he said: "My lord, Bo has come thousands of miles away, so what is the matter, can the adults know?" ”

Miao Xian pretended not to know and shook his head.

"Zhao Hao of your country led an army of 30,000 troops stationed on the north bank of the river, which caused panic among the people of Qi State. Don't say you don't know. ”

Miao Xian actually sighed, and said a little heavily: "The old slave really knows about this matter. He said no more.

Mink's teeth itched, and the other party said half of his words, and suddenly stopped talking, what does this mean! After handing over the ten pairs of white bi gold hundred taels, Miao Xian nodded with a satisfied expression and said, "Why does the doctor have to spend so much!" ”

Diao Bo secretly despised the other party in his heart, but he was very humble on his lips, and persuaded with a smile: "A little heart!" When he came, the king repeatedly explained that Qi had always respected Zhao and never offended. This tense situation must have been misunderstood! If you have a little mustard, please say a few more kind words in front of King Zhao! ”

After receiving a generous gift, Miao Xian was very polite in his words. He waved his hand with a smile and replied: "A few days ago, the army of Yan was also stationed on the north bank of the river, and your country also sent a large army to confront each other, but is there such a thing?" ”

Mink Bo's heart sank, and he replied: "But there is such a thing! "Could it be that Yan Guo was forced to withdraw his troops, which made Yan Guo lose face. Zhao Guo, the boss, can't stand it, and wants to stand up for his allies? Diao Bo thought to himself. This shouldn't be! At the beginning, Zhao Guo didn't move at all! What's more, it was Yan Guo who took the lead in provoking the dispute in the first place.

"Doesn't the king of Qi know that the current queen of Yan is the daughter of my king?" Miao Xian pretended to be angry. (To be continued......)
