Outside the Hangu Pass, the trees have just pulled out new green shoots, and there are still early morning dew drops on them.

Zhao Tuo is not wearing a crown armor today, but wearing a crown on his head, a luxurious deep coat, and his extraordinarily young appearance, like a beautiful son, not a battlefield general.

At this moment, he was standing outside the pass with a group of attendants, waiting for the messenger from the east.

"Doctor Meng, I heard that this time Qi Wang Jian had the intention of entering the Qin Dynasty in person, but he did it again?"

Zhao Tuo turned his head to look at a man standing beside him.

The man was over forty years old, tall and thin, and he was none other than Meng Yu, the fifth doctor who was responsible for transporting the envoys of the princes.

Seeing Zhao Tuo's questioning, Meng Yu hurriedly replied: "Go back to Shao Shangzao, according to the people sent to Qi by our bank's human affairs department." After my Qin State destroyed Chu and killed Xiong Qi, Wang Jian of Qi was afraid day and night, and wanted to enter the Qin Dynasty to see my king in person. ”

"But when the king of Qi Jianxing reached the middle of the road, he was blocked by the Yongmen Sima Hengji as a horse, and in front of many Qi people, he asked him: The one who established the king is the Shejiye? For the king? ”

"King Qi suggested: for the community. Then Sima said: For Sheji to establish a king, why did the king go to Sheji and enter Qin? ”

"Qi Wangjian couldn't answer, and the Qi people were angry at that time, and Qi Xiangtian came to persuade him again, so Qi Wangjian returned the car and returned, and only sent his big Sima Tian to make an envoy."

As he spoke, Meng Yu looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated expression.

This son is promoted to the knighthood, it is really like a bird spreading its wings and soaring into the sky.

After listening to Meng Yu's words, Zhao Tuo bowed slightly.

The fact that King Qi wanted to enter the Qin Dynasty and was blocked by his courtiers reflects a fact.

That is, there are still many loyal and patriotic people in the Qi State, and these people can speak directly for the country and prevent the actions of Qi Wangjian's dynasty. Qi Wangjian turned around and returned, which also showed that this king did not have the ability to control the Qi country.

Especially when the remnants of the Four Kingdoms assassinated Qi Xiang and won the victory, and supported Tian Jiao to ascend to the throne, they also cleaned up a wave of pro-Qin forces within Qi by the way.

Therefore, even if those remnants of the four kingdoms who were stumbling were expelled by the Qi people, it would not be easy for the Qin State to take down the Qi State.

If you want to persuade the Qi State to surrender as in history, it is by no means as easy as Li Shiqi said before.

Vertical and horizontal people, in order to make meritorious contributions, are the best at exaggerated rhetoric, Zhao Tuo listened to Li Shiqi's words, and most of them only believed half of it.

Now the Qin Wangzheng sent Zhao Tuo to greet the envoys of the Qi State, not only because his title is less than that of the Great Sima of the Qi State, but also because Zhao Tuo and Natian Chong are old acquaintances.

Zhao Tuo also happened to test the reality of Qi to prepare for his future attack on Qi.

After a while, there were bursts of cars and horses on the road in the distance.

Dozens of richly decorated vehicles drove towards Hangu Pass.

Sima Tianchong, the great of Qi State, stood on the chariot and looked into the distance, only to see that there were people waiting outside the majestic and steep Hangu Pass.

He felt a little at ease, it seemed that these Qin people still had a lot of respect for him.

In the last battle of Zhencheng, although Tian Chong lost the battle, he was also captured by Zhao Tuo'er.

But later, in order to completely eliminate the state of Chu, the Qin army stabilized the state of Qi on preferential terms, not only returning the captured Zhen city, but also sending him Tian Chong back with thousands of captured people.

Tian Chong, the general of the defeated army, thought that he would be humiliated after returning to China, but he knew that although the Qi people had some resentment and contempt for him, they turned all their hatred and anger on those remnants of the four countries.

The Qi people believed that it was because of the assassination of Tu Sui, the commander of the Qin State, that the Qin army attacked and led to the defeat of the 100,000 Qi army.

The defeat of Zhencheng was not the incompetence of the Qi army, but the evil deeds of the remnants of the Four Kingdoms.

The source of everything was the fault of the remnants of the Four Kingdoms, who not only assassinated the Xiangbang that was friendly with Qin and dragged the Qi State into the war, but also caused the Qi State to suffer heavy losses.

In addition, in order to seek the understanding of the Qin people, the Qi State began to hunt down and hunt down the remnants of these four countries from top to bottom, not only expelling them from the Qi State, but also capturing many important prisoners, and now they took the opportunity to enter the Qin Dynasty to present to the King of Qin for forgiveness.

As for him, Tian Chong, as the general of the defeated army, can still hold the position of Great Sima, it is because the entire Qi country can't find someone who can fight better than Tian Chong.

In a country that has not experienced war for more than 40 years, no Qi people under the age of 50 have ever been exposed to war.

In this case, it is simply impossible to judge who is more capable of fighting militarily.

Therefore, when Qi selected generals to be commanders, he could only rely on the deduction of the art of war and the training of commanding soldiers to set up formations.

When it comes to the ability of the art of war, no one in the Qi Kingdom is Tian Chong's opponent.

In addition, he has commanded an army of 100,000 people, and this kind of experience is also incomparable to others.

Therefore, Qi Wang Jian and Tian Jiao could only be taller among the short, and continued to appoint Tian Chong as the great Sima to lead the soldiers and horses of the Qi State.

And the reason why he was sent to the Qin Dynasty this time was because Tian Chong's status was high enough to send Qin so that he could show the sincerity of the Qi people.

The second is that Tian Chong has dealt with the Qin people, and in the case that the Hou Sheng party was almost killed, there is really no one more suitable for the position of the envoy of the Qi State than him.

"I don't know who the Minister of Qin who greeted me this time, it is unlikely that the two prime ministers will be likely. But I'm also a great Sima of a country, and Qin will also give me some face. Maybe send a state lieutenant? Or is it the Imperial Historian Feng Zheng? Or is it Tingwei Lis? ”

"If it's Wei Yu, I should talk to him about Wei Di style and get closer to each other. If it was Feng Zheng, maybe he could talk about his ancestor Feng Ting. Li Si's words can be used to talk about Xun Qing's Confucianism. In short, we should be as enthusiastic as possible, and this time we should make friends with the nobles of the Qin State, and let them speak well for my Qi State in front of the King of Qin. ”

Tian Chong thought in his heart and planned for the next meeting.

It's just that when he thinks of the ministers and generals of the Qin State, he can't help but think of a young general in his mind.

Tian Chong shuddered and said secretly: "I heard that the shameless villain not only defeated Xiang Yan, but also killed Xiong Qi, the king of Chu, and now he is gaining momentum in the Qin State. I entered Qin this time, and I should avoid him. ”

Moments later, the convoy came to a halt outside Hangu Pass.

The envoy of the Qin State in the distance had already come.

Tian Chong took a deep breath, sorted out his instrument, and put a smile on his face, before getting out of the car to catch up.

"Wu Tian Chong, I've seen ......"

"Tian Da Sima, long time no see!"

A clear voice came, startling Tian Chong to freeze in place, and the smile on his face froze.

Ahead, a darkly clad young man strode forward, his face full of enthusiastic smiles.

Tian Chong shuddered and said, "Zhao ...... Zhao Tuo, how are you! ”

"The king thought that I and Da Sima were old acquaintances, so he sent me to greet him, Da Sima was pleasantly surprised?"

Zhao Tuo walked to Tian Chong's side with a smile, and said in his mouth: "In the past, Da Sima often instructed Zhao Tuo in the art of war, and he was really a good teacher and friend of Tuo. ”

"Zhen Cheng said goodbye, I thought that there would be no chance to see Da Sima again. I didn't expect to be able to meet the old people again outside Hangu Pass today, this is really a great joy in life! Da Sima entered Qin this time, I will definitely entertain him, and I can also talk about the art of war with Da Sima again, how fast! ”

Zhao Tuo looks kind and speaks enthusiastically, he really looks like he has seen an old friend for many years.

Tian Chong thought of the scene when he was captured in the Qin camp in the past, and was scolded by Zhao Tuo in public as a "brazen person".

His self-esteem was very strong, and when he thought of the scene at that time, his face suddenly flushed with shame, and he didn't dare to look at Zhao Tuo, so he quickly lowered his head.

However, when he lowered his head, he happened to see Zhao Tuo's legs again, and the expression on his face became more and more sad.

Meng Yu and the others lagged behind, looking at this scene in amazement.

I heard that in the battle of Zhencheng, the reason why the 100,000 Qi army was defeated was because Zhao Tuo took advantage of the night to sneak attack.

They also thought that this Qi Guoda Sima would definitely feel unconvinced, and when they saw Zhao Tuo this time, they couldn't say that they had to sneer at him, and even felt angry.

But now this big Sima looks like a shy little daughter-in-law, in front of Zhao Tuo, he can only respond perfunctorily with "uh-huh", and he can't say half a word.

Zhao Tuo talked for a while, and when he saw that Tian Da Sima was submissive, he didn't dare to look at him at all, and he suddenly felt a little bored.

He still likes Da Sima's heroic appearance in the past.

On the correspondence, Da Sima raised the words excitedly, scolded Fang Xuan, and pointed out his Zhao Tuo's art of war endlessly.

That kind of big Sima is charming.

"I heard that this time Da Sima entered Qin, and specially sent a few important people, I don't know where they are?"

Zhao Tuo saw that Da Sima couldn't let go, so he turned his attention to the prisoners sent by Qi State.

Hearing this, Tian Chong hurriedly shouted: "Tian Dan, Zhao ...... If you look at the captives, you bring those people up. ”

"No, I'll just take a look."

Zhao Tuo smiled faintly, glanced at the Qi man named Tian Dan, and saw that his square face and big ears were about thirty years old, and his appearance was quite heroic.

He felt that he might have heard this name in his previous life, but he was not very familiar with it, and he couldn't remember specific deeds.

The Tian celebrity at the end of Qin, he is more familiar with Tian Heng, mainly because the story of "Tian Heng Five Hundred Scholars" is more famous.

Since he was not familiar with Tian Dan's name, he was not a big person, so Zhao Tuo didn't think much about it, and followed Tian Dan with a respectful face to the rear of the team.

Seeing that Zhao Tuo took his guards to meet the prisoners with Tian Dan, Tian Chong let out a long sigh of relief, turned his head to look at Meng Yu, and a smile appeared on his face again.

At this time, Zhao Tuo also saw the first heavyweight.

Jun Jingzhao of Songyang of Chu State.

In the past, Jing Zhao took the order of the king of Chu to the state of Qi to ask for help, and with the help of the people of the four countries, he lived up to his mission and really asked the country of Qi to send troops.

At that moment, he Jingzhao had the possibility of reproducing Shen Baoxu's matter.

But then, the 100,000 Qi army Zhencheng was defeated, and the Qin people marched forward, conquering Chu all the way, breaking Shouchun, capturing the king of Chu, and finally even Jiangdong fell into the hands of the Qin people, and the last king of Chu, Xiong Qi, killed himself.

Under such circumstances, the Qi people were afraid of Qin like a tiger, and not only drove the people of the Four Kingdoms, but also captured this guest from the Chu State as a prisoner as a gift to the King of Qin.

Zhao Tuo...... I didn't expect that the little Zhonglang I saw in the palace when I entered Qin in the past could do such a big thing. Xiang Qu was in the main hall that day, and I am afraid I would not have thought that he would eventually lose at your hands. I never thought that the state of Chu would die at the hands of your little boy. ”

Jing Zhao looked at the young man in front of him with a complicated face and sighed.

Zhao Tuo said calmly: "Songyang Jun is serious, the death of the Chu State is not in the hands of Zhao Tuo or the Qin generals. Instead, he died at the hands of the faint monarchs and ministers of the Chu State. If the king of Chu is Shengming, the monarch is virtuous and the minister is upright, even if my Qin State can destroy Chu, it will not be so easy. ”

Jing Zhao was silent, he thought of the king of Chu and the right Yin Jin Xia.

There are strong enemies watching outside, and there are faint kings and ministers inside, how can such a country not die?

Zhao Tuo smiled, he didn't have much ill feeling towards this generous elder of the Chu State, and walked over.

A chariot guarded by Qi warriors in the rear.

There is a person Zhao Tuo cares about is imprisoned.

It was another prince and king of the late Qin dynasty in the original history.

Han Wangcheng.

That is, today's late Korean Hengyang Jun, Han Cheng.

The reason why Zhao Tuo attaches importance to him is in addition to his princely status.

What's more, if he remembers correctly, whether it is the original history or this point in time, the strategizing Zhang Zifang is assisting this person.

Thinking of that person's name, Zhao Tuo's eyes were full of coldness.

Zhang liang.
