Why did Zhao Tuo start to think about the destruction of Qi before he sent troops to destroy the dynasty?

Because he still remembers that in the twenty-fifth year of the original history of the reign of King Qin, Wang Ben led his troops to attack Liaodong of Yan State, captured Yan Wangxi, and also attacked Dai Guo and captured Wang Jia, and within a year, the Qin army destroyed the two countries.

In the second year, Wang Ben led troops from Yannan to the Qi State, destroyed Tian Qi in one fell swoop, and completed the unification of the Qin State.

Judging from the road conditions and marching speed in this era, Wang Ben should not have returned to Xianyang after the destruction of Yan and the dynasty, but stayed in Yandi to rest. In this way, he was able to lead his soldiers and soldiers to attack Qi from Yandi in the second year.

Qin's offensive against Yan, Dai, and Qi was continuous and rapid, and the commander of the destruction of the country was also Wang Ben alone.

Judging from the situation in this world, after Qin Wangzheng used 600,000 troops to attack Chu, the soldiers were exhausted and the food was exhausted, so he stopped the large-scale expedition, and needed to rest the soldiers, and at the same time waited until the grain and grass after the autumn harvest were abundant, before he started to attack the country.

If nothing else, when Zhao Tuo destroyed the dynasty, Qin Wangzheng would immediately mobilize a large army to launch a war of annihilation of the country.

Zhao Tuo's worry is here, in the past, on the platform of the Qin Palace, Qin Wangzheng personally appointed Zhao Tuo as the chief general of this era.

But he did not promise on the spot that he would let Zhao Tuo continue to serve as the chief general of the destruction of Qi after the destruction of the dynasty.

This is very embarrassing, because the victory of Qi Xiang, who originally advocated surrender in history, and a large number of pro-Qin parties within Qi were attacked and killed by Han Cheng, Zhang Liang and others.

In this case, Qin Wangzheng had suffered the loss of Li Xin's war against Chu before, and in order to ensure the perfect end of the battle to destroy the country, he was likely to let Wang Ben or Meng Wu lead the overall situation in the old future, and let Zhao Tuo be the deputy general, which could ensure the smooth destruction of Qi.

For Zhao Tuo, he is now a young knight, and it is very difficult to rise to the knighthood. The six kingdoms of Shandong have been wiped out, and only the last Qi country can be promoted, which is also his only chance to be promoted in a short period of time, so he doesn't want to miss it.

Once he led the troops to destroy the dynasty, Zhao Tuo would most likely not be able to return to Xianyang before the destruction of Qi, and it was difficult to have the opportunity to personally seek the position of the chief general of the destruction of Qi, but now it was difficult for him to ask Qin Wangzheng bluntly for the position of the chief general of the destruction of Qi, so he could only use some hintive methods.

Zhao Tuo's strategy of going to school and migrants for Qin Wangzheng this time not only can really solve the serious problems faced by the Qin State, but also has the meaning of showing his ability.

In particular, the implication of combining the strategy of migrants with the matter of exterminating Qi is very clear.

He believed that the king would understand.

Sure enough, wait until Zhao Tuo's words fall.

Qin Wangzheng was stunned for a moment, and then a playful smile appeared on his face.

"After a good annihilation of Qi, coerce the Qi land Zhutian and the Hao clan to move to Guanzhong, your strategy is indeed timely and labor-saving, as you said, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Qin Wangzheng praised first, and then changed his words and said: "I heard Yao Jia say that the King of Qi had the intention of personally entering the Qin Dynasty to see the widow this time, but he was blocked by his courtiers, so he could only turn back and give up. ”

"Judging from this matter, there are still many people in the Qi State who oppose our Qin State, and if the widow wants to take down the Qi State, it may take some effort. Zhao Qing is my Qin's famous general, I don't know if there is a strategy for destroying Qi? ”

Zhao Tuo was overjoyed.

The king really understood what he meant, although he didn't make a decision on the spot to let himself destroy the dynasty and then continue to be the chief general of Qi destruction, but now he asks himself about the strategy of destroying Qi, this is a test.

If his strategy can satisfy the king, then he will not be able to determine the position of the main general of the destruction of Qi.

After he Zhao Tuo destroyed the dynasty, he led his troops to take the Qi State in one fell swoop, and wiped out the two countries in a row, how fast!

Zhao Tuo cheered up and offered his strategy.

"The king, from the perspective of the ministers, if you want to take the Qi country more easily, this matter should fall on the great Sima of the Qi country."

"Great Sima of the Qi Kingdom?"

Qin Wangzheng raised his eyebrows, this answer was something he hadn't thought of.

Zhao Tuo smiled.

"The minister heard that Mencius said: A gentleman can deceive his side"

……

"The King of Qin is inviting us to a banquet today, Tian Dan, you have to behave well, and when you are respectful to the King of Qin, don't fall into the prestige of my Qi country."

Da Sima Tian Chong changed into a luxurious deep coat, with a high crown and big sleeves, with a graceful demeanor, coupled with his rather elegant temperament, he is really like a gentleman who came out of an ancient book.

"Yui."

Tian Dan promised to make a promise, but in fact he was a little disdainful.

Tell me not to fall into the prestige of the Qi country, what did the great Sima look like in front of the Qin general Zhao Tuo before, do you really think I didn't see it?

Although he thought so in his heart, Tian Dan was still very respectful on the surface.

He is a distant branch of the Tian royal family, and Di Cheng is powerful and powerful.

Because of his meritorious work in capturing the thief Kou Han Cheng, he was rewarded by Qi Wangjian, and he was even more favored by the great Sima Tian Chong for his heroic spirit, and he was regarded as a confidant.

Therefore, in the face of his "Bole", even if Tian Dan looks down on him in his heart, he must follow the rules of this era and serve Da Sima wholeheartedly.

After a while, Tian Chong led the way to the chariot outside the mansion, and they were about to go to the Qin Palace to participate in the banquet set by the King of Qin.

Tian Chong was very happy, because the situation in Qin this time was a little different from what he originally thought.

He was captured by Zhao Tuo in the Battle of Zhencheng, although he was not abused, Zhao Tuo's public ridicule still made him a little unable to step down, leaving a shadow in his heart. Tian Chong thought that this time he would enter Qin to seek peace, and he was afraid that he would also suffer the humiliation of the Qin people as a defeated.

How do you know that the attitude of the Qin people towards them is very friendly, Qin Wangzheng not only spoke to him kindly, but also gave him many treasures as a return gift, and invited him to the palace to participate in the banquet in the evening, this gesture can be described as very friendly.

Tian Chong's joy was not short-lived, and after entering the Qin Palace, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter.

Because the king of Qin actually sent the right prime minister Kui Xiang and the left prime minister Wang Juan to greet him.

The prime ministers of the two big countries greeted each other together, and they also called "Tian Jun" and other honorifics, which made Tian Chong even happier.

King Qin, why do you take such a fancy to him?

After entering the palace, Tian Chong found that he was arranged to be the first on the right side under the king's couch.

Qin respects the right and lets Tian Chong sit in this position, which is really a great honor, which shows that the Qin people value him.

And what made Tian Chong happiest was that sitting opposite him was Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qian, and further down was the general Meng Wu, both of whom were famous generals in the world.

As for the annoying Zhao Tuo, he sat under Mengwu.

This arrangement made Tian Chong even more relaxed.

Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and sheng......

In bursts of joyful music, Qin Wangzheng walked over and sat down on the king's couch.

"Tian Jun was ordered by the King of Qi to enter Qin and make friends with the widow, and the widow was very happy in his heart."

Qin Wangzheng looked at Tian Chong sideways, his expression solemn.

"In the past, the widows wanted to stop fighting with the princes of the world and survive for generations. Unexpectedly, Han and Wei made an alliance with the widows, but they turned around and conspired with the Zhao people to betray our Qin State, and the Zhao State was even more against our Taiyuan, and the widows had no choice but to raise troops to punish them. ”

"As for the following, the thief Kou Yandan sent an envoy to assassinate the widow. The Chu people swore an alliance to the west of Qingyang, and then rebelled against the treaty, attacked my Nanjun, and killed my messenger. The widows can only destroy it to maintain the majesty of our Qin State. ”

Speaking of this, Qin Wangzheng's voice changed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Today, the five princes who betrayed my Qin State have all died, and only Qin and Qi coexist in the world, so what?"

"It's just because the king of Qi treats the widow very respectfully, although there are thieves from the four kingdoms who bewitch him, and he does the things of Zhencheng in Dongjun. However, the king of Qi still has the heart of repentance, and chased the people of the four countries, captured the thief and ordered Tian Jun to enter Qin and dedicate it to the widow. ”

"The widow is willing to make friends with the king of Qi, and I also ask Tian Jun to bring the widow's intention to the king of Qi to hear it."

Hearing this, Tian Chong, who was still a little frightened, became happy.

He felt the kindness in King Qin's words.

Tian Chong hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The king's kindness, the foreign minister will definitely tell the king of Qi to know." In the future, Qi State Affairs Qin, I will be respectful and faithful, and I hope that the two countries will be at peace and will be good forever. ”

"Hahaha, what Tian Jun said is very true. Zhuqing, I congratulate you with Tian Jun, and wish me Qin and Qi will always be a family! ”

Qin Wangzheng smiled and raised his glass.

Wang Ben, Meng Wu, Zhao Tuo, Kui Xiang and many other ministers and generals raised their glasses together and shouted: "May Qin and Qi be a family forever!" ”

Tian Chong felt that the entire Qin Palace was full of joy, and he also smiled and raised his glass: "May the Qi State and the Qin State always be a family!" ”

Tian Dan on the side always felt that something was wrong, but the King of Qin and many ministers of Qin showed goodwill, but they were on the face, and he could only suppress the weirdness in his heart and raise a glass to congratulate.

After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere has been completely harmonious.

After a few polite words, Qin Wangzheng's words changed and said to everyone: "The widow heard that Tian Jun is a master of the world's soldiers, and no one in the world can match the art of war deduction, but it is a pity that Wei Gong has returned to his hometown, otherwise the widow really wants to watch Tian Jun compete with Wei Gong." ”

Tian Chong was surprised.

Did the reputation of his master soldier actually reach the ears of King Qin?

And it seems that King Qin has a lot of expectations for himself, and he actually compares it with Wei Yi, which is really a great honor.

Tian Chong hurriedly smiled and said: "The foreign minister's ability is slight, An Neng is on a par with Duke Wei, and the king praised it." ”

Qin Wangzheng smiled but did not answer.

Wang Ben, who was sitting on the left side, raised his eyebrows and exclaimed: "How tall is Duke Wei, how can others easily compare?" Since the king said that Tian Jun's art of war is profound, then the general wants to compare the art of military struggle with Tian Jun, and discuss the shortcomings of soldiers. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looked over.

Tian Chong's face changed, how could he come to have a drink, and he would be challenged by Wang Ben?

"Da Sima, don't be angry."

Tian Dan immediately whispered to advise.

Then in the next second, Wang Ben sneered: "Could it be that Tian Jun lost his sharpness after the defeat of Zhencheng, and he didn't even have the courage to deduce the art of war with me?" ”

Tian Chong's heart was full of anger, he was already a person with strong self-esteem, even if Wang Ben invited him to fight, he could endure it for the sake of the interests of the Qi country and not conflict with the other party.

But unexpectedly, the other party actually mentioned the battle of Zhencheng, which was really a slap in the face in public, how could he bear it. I couldn't help shouting: "If it weren't for the night attack of the Qin army, if it was a head-on battle, how could I be defeated!" ”

Tian Chong was very aggrieved, as he said, although he suffered a crushing defeat in the battle of Zhencheng, he was always unconvinced in his heart. He thought that the reason why Zhao Tuo was able to win was because of his tricks and sneak attack. If it is a frontal battle with a large army, with his attainments in the art of war, it is impossible to fail at all!

"General Wang said carefully."

Qin Wangzheng stood up to make peace, he pretended to be angry, glared at Wang Ben, and then turned his head to Tian Chong and smiled: "Tian Jun don't be angry, General Wang has the best art of war, I heard that Tian Jun is famous, and I want to talk about it, I don't know if Tian Jun is willing to try." ”

Seeing the invitation of the King of Qin, seeing the look of this king, he had been looking forward to himself for a long time, and Tian Chong also had a feeling of shame, so he couldn't help it, and shouted: "In this case, then I will learn the method of General Wang's soldiers." ”

Wang Ben smiled and said: "Okay, then we will use the battle of Zhencheng to compete, I can't use the technique of sneak attack, only compete with Tian Jun." ”

With the order of the King of Qin, a waiter brought a wooden case, on which a map of the vicinity of Zhencheng in Dongjun was laid, and there were several wooden people with small flags, each representing the military strength of Qin and Qi.

When Tian Dan saw this scene, the feeling that something was wrong in his heart became stronger and stronger, but seeing that Tian Chong had already agreed to the competition with Wang Ben, the two of them sat at one end and began to manipulate Qin and Qi forces to deduce, he could only keep his mouth shut and watch the battle carefully.

I saw that Wang Ben and Tian Chong were fighting fiercely, and the two of them were fighting each other with wooden figures, sometimes Wang Ben attacked and broke through, and sometimes Tian Chong attacked both sides.

Wang Ben took offense as defense and attacked the Qi army nine times.

Tian Chong took defense as an attack, and nine rejected the Qin army.

After nine attacks and nine rejections, Wang Ben's Qin army was exhausted, while Tian Chong's Qi army still had spare strength.

Tian Chong counterattacked with the Qi army, Wang Ben could not resist, and the battle was defeated again and again, and even the point representing Puyang on the map was taken away by the Qi army.

"Tian Jun's art of war is profound, Wang Ben lost, admire!"

Wang Ben threw down the last flag in his hand and surrendered to Tian Chong.

"What a wonderful military deduction, Tian Jun deserves to be a master who is famous all over the world, and when the widow sees it today, it really deserves his reputation."

Qin Wangzheng nodded in admiration.

The ministers in the palace also said: "Tian Jun's art of war is profound, and we admire it." ”

"General Wang is also a master of the way of war, Tian Chong is just a fluke victory, hehe."

Tian Chong laughed, his face full of bright smiles.

In front of the King of Qin and many ministers of Qin, he defeated Wang Ben, a famous general, in the art of war.

He Tian Chong was so powerful, sure enough, Zhencheng's defeat was all due to Zhao Tuo's sneak attack, otherwise with his Tian Chong's military attainments, how could he be defeated!

Today, on the top of the main hall of the Qin Palace, it is the time when he Tian Chong is ashamed!

Under such thoughts, coupled with the friendly attitude that Qin Wangzheng and the Minister of Qin have always shown.

Tian Chong was full of confidence and full of fighting spirit.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Tuo, and there was no longer any shame on his face.

"General Zhao Tuo, do you dare to have another showdown with me?"

There is a third shift in the evening, a little later
