Chapter 17 Controlling
Seeing such a situation, most of the people have guessed the Lord's thoughts. But when Zhao Yong said it himself, the people present couldn't help but feel surging.
Zhongshan to the State of Zhao is undoubtedly like a boulder pressed on the chest, which greatly constrains the dream of the State of Zhao to dominate the Central Plains. From the division of the three families to the present, several generations of heroes of the State of Zhao intended to win the Central Plains, but were dragged down by the Zhongshan Kingdom behind them. Now the State of Zhao is powerful and has the most elite cavalry army in the world. The struggle between the State of Zhao and the State of Zhongshan will also be understood in this battle. As a Zhao person, how can you not be in a turbulent mood?
The hall was extremely quiet, and everyone's eyes were attracted by the most central map, with yearning eyes. Zhao Yong still held the sword in his hand and looked proudly at the ministers, waiting for them to make a statement.
"I'm seconded." Li Dui was the first to react and stood up and strode out.
"I think that now the State of Zhao is full of power and great martial arts. On the contrary, Zhongshan is weak, and the countries of Qi and Qin are busy attacking each other. This is a good time for God to help our State of Zhao destroy Zhongshan."
"Good to say."
Zhao Yong laughed loudly, nodded to Li Dui with satisfaction, turned his head and looked at the others and asked, "What are your objections, but it's okay to say."
Gong Zicheng frowned, stared at Li Du with some dissatisfaction, and was a little dissatisfied with his eagerness. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and said, "Lord, I'm a little worried."
"Oh." Zhao Yong stretched out his voice, looked at the prince Cheng with interest, and stretched out his hand and smiled carelessly. "What's your uncle worried about? Just say so, I'll solve your puzzles."
Mr. Cheng cleared his throat and said, "I, the State of Zhao, have been fighting for many years, and the sergeant has been tired. Now he wants to start a war. I'm afraid it will hurt the root of my State of Zhao. The wars of all countries are endless. I, Zhao Guozheng, should take this opportunity to rest and save national strength to compete for hegemony. After several attacks by your lord and father, Zhongshan has already declined and is unable to compete with our State of Zhao. Now it is trapped in the country, and the land is only 300 miles, and the car is less than a thousand times. Such a small country is not a disease with our State of Zhao. There is no need to worry about it. Why does the master's father fight to destroy it?
He said that the prince bowed and saluted here, "The master should know that although the country is big, it will die if it is belligerent."
As soon as the voice fell, a burst of sneer came. It's an old opinion."
The prince's cost was a hot temper. He suddenly opened his eyes and suddenly turned around and stared at a burly general. He said angrily, "Niu Jian, how dare you insult me."
The cow scissors were not afraid and arched his hand proudly; "The old man is very careful. Don't dare to say you. I think of the copywriting in my army for me. It's really stinky and long. It's a rotten Confucian opinion."
After saying that, several generals burst into laughter and were full of laughter. Only the prince Zhao Zhang looked as usual and did not participate in it. It seemed that Zhao Ju, who seemed to be in some cities, who was watching coldly, looked at him a few more times.
On the contrary, the prince became angry with these generals, and his face turned blue and white, but he had no choice.
The generals of the State of Zhao are different from literary ministers. After the reform of Zhao Yong's "Hufu riding and shooting", the cavalry has become the most elite force in the Zhao army and the main source of officers in the army. Unlike the previous generals, most of the lieutenants were served by the children of the rich family. Nowadays, most of these generals are from poor families, and even many of them have worked as horse thieves and bandits, but Zhao Yong, regardless of their origin, only depends on their ability to give official positions.
Therefore, these reckless generals are the direct descendant of the master's father, and most of them do not buy the accounts of the prince. The only one they are loyal to is the master Zhao Yong. Although the prince was powerful, he could not reach out his hand in the border army.
"Okay." Seeing that it was a little ridiculous, Zhao Yong stretched out his hand to stop. The generals immediately stopped laughing and calmed down.
Zhao Yong looked back at the angry prince Cheng, narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Uncle, forgive me, these bastards are rough people. They are used to being wild with widows and don't know etiquette. You don't have to be like them."
Zhao Yong said a few words lightly and overshadowed the matter. Although Gong Zicheng hated it very much, he had to go down the stage on the steps. He arched his hand and sat back in the original seat with a pale face.
"As for my uncle's worries, I can give you an answer." Zhao Yong stroked the hilt of the sword and said slowly.
"My uncle reads a good book, but it's a pity that he didn't read it all." Although the country is big, it will die if it is belligerent. What's the next sentence?
The light flashed in Zhao Yong's eyes, "I'm here to tell you that although the country is safe, it is dangerous to forget the war."
"Since the founding of the country, several generations of ancestors have cut through the thorns, and the painstaking management party is as strong as our state of Zhao today. Have you ever been at ease? Zhongshan was founded by Bai Di, and I, the State of Zhao, was originally a life-and-death enemy, fighting with each other for more than a hundred years. Now it is true that as my uncle said, Zhongshan is declining, trapped in Lingshou, and has no power to pose a threat to my State of Zhao. But have you forgotten that when the State of Wei dominated, the Marquis Wen of Wei once sent Leyang to destroy Zhongshan and used it as a county. The remnants of Bai Di retreated into the mountains and vowed not to surrender to the State of Wei. Decades later, the hegemony of the State of Wei declined, and the Baidi people actually restored the country and rebuilt Zhongshan, which was once again strong.
"The tenacity of Bai Di people can be seen from this." Zhao Yonghu looked directly at the prince and said word by word, "So uncle, how can you guarantee that he will not make a comeback in the decline of the mountain country today. If my state of Zhao has made a change, won't Zhongshan take advantage of the fire to rob?"
"Zhongshan and my state of Zhao are really a big problem, like being stuck in my throat. What I want to do today is to uproot the nails on this chest, completely destroy their country, assimilate their people, and let the Bai Di people integrate into the blood of our Zhao people, and never mention Zhongshan."
Zhao Yong Huoran pulled out the dagger he admired and inserted it fiercely on the table. The light in his eyes soared, and the end was domineering.
Under his direct view, Gong Zicheng couldn't help but panic and quickly avoided his eyes. He knew in his heart that this nephew was very independent. Although he was courteous to himself at ordinary times, he was always arbitrary in military affairs. No one could change what he decided, so he shut up knowingly.
"The master is a good man, and the old minister is stupid." The prince lowered his head and stopped talking.
Zhao Yong nodded with satisfaction, looked at the other ministers, and said in a low voice, "Do you still have any doubts?"
"If you are puzzled, I hope the master will solve the problem." Hearing the words, Feiyi stood up and bowed to the minister.
"Why don't you understand Xiangbang, but it's okay to say it." Zhao Yong was not surprised, but said calmly.
Feiyi took a step forward and said calmly, "I want to know what will happen to the five congresses of Qi, Qin, Wei and Han Yan if I, the State of Zhao, destroy Zhongshan."
Zhao Jian, who had been lowering his head and didn't say anything, only felt a light in front of his eyes. He couldn't help nodding his head secretly, thinking that Feiyi was really old and important, and he was the backbone of the country. Unlike Gong Zicheng's boastful talk, the question asked by Fei Yi directly asked the key to the question, that is, the attitude of the other six countries towards Zhao Mu Zhongshan.
In fact, in terms of strength, Zhao Guoyuan is above Zhongshan, and he has changed his own strength over the years. His military strength has become a peak. Even Qin Qi is afraid of three points and dare not fight against it, not to mention a second-rate small country in Zhongshan. At that time, the master's father once attacked Zhongshan, and his troops came to Lingshou City. It was because the State of Qi did not want Zhao to destroy Zhongshan. Therefore, he united the army of the State of Wei and the State of Qin at the border and forced the main force of Zhao's army to withdraw from Zhongshan. Now that the Lord wants to annex Zhongshan, the statement of the six countries is undoubtedly the key.
Zhao Yong was confident. He just smiled when he heard the words and said, "Sangbang asked very well, but I was negligently. For a moment, he hurriedly forgot to communicate with you in advance. But it's just in your mouth to ask, and I will also solve everyone's doubts.
"This time, I went north to patrol and fought with the King of Yan. The King of Yan has promised me that if the State of Zhao attacks Zhongshan and the State of Yan, he will help. If the countries intervene in this matter, the Yan army will go south and fight side by side with our Zhao army. Of course, I will naturally not treat this old friend badly. I will seize the seven cities near the State of Yan from Zhongshan, which will be under the rule of the State of Yan.
"Han Wei, together with the State of Qi, defeated the Qin army a month ago and forced the Qin army to lock themselves. Now that the main force of the Qin army has not been damaged, in order to prevent the Qin army from retaliating, Han Wei will definitely concentrate on the defense in the west. Even if they want to take care of the matter of the State of Zhao, they are powerless. The Qin army defeated the Chu army in Fangcheng and beheaded 50,000 people. Now the State of Chu is concentrating on defending the State of Qin in the north, so Qin and Chu are worried about going. As for the State of Qi..."
He said that Zhao Yong paused here, and his tone deliberately lengthen and sold it.
The State of Qi has always been the backer behind Zhongshan, and Zhongshan is also a nail laid by the State of Qi in order to contain the State of Zhao. Without the support of the State of Qi, with the strength of the State of Zhao, the State of Zhongshan has already perished. Therefore, the attitude of Qi is the most important.
However, Zhao Yong despised it, smiled mysteriously, and then said, "I have reached an agreement with the King of Qi. He took his Song and I took my Zhongshan. I did not interfere in his attack on Song, and he also let me destroy Zhongshan. We take what we need for mutual benefit, and this is my answer to you.
In those years, in order to compete with the State of Qi, the State of Zhao formed an alliance with the State of Song and attacked the State of Qi in the north and south. The State of Song is located in a fertile place, which is holding the throat of the State of Qi into the Central Plains. The heart of the King of Qi to destroy Song is not inferior to the idea of the State of Zhao to annex Zhongshan.
Now that the State of Zhao is strong and is no longer afraid of the State of Qi, while the State of Song has made enemies on all sides under the rule of its prince, and the country is declining under the attack of the two great powers of Qi and Chu. At this time, Zhao Yong decided to give up the meaningless pawn of the State of Song in exchange for the acquiescence of the State of Qi to destroy Zhongshan, which was also in the interests of the State of Zhao.
Fei Yi was also a little unhappy because the master had not communicated with him in advance. After hearing the master's explanation, he did not pay attention to it. He bowed back and said, "The master has been thoughtful, and the minister will definitely try his best to help. Feiyi is here to wish the master's victory in advance and capture the little king of Zhongshan to return to the court. My country of Zhao has been several generations. Wang Zhiyuan.
Zhao Yong smiled and nodded. Seeing that there was no objection in the court, he wanted to order, but a clear voice sounded from the last row.
"There is something I don't understand."
