Chapter 43 Prince's Worry 3

Song Wang Yan is powerful and powerful, with a divine light on his face, and can bend the iron hook. He is tyrannical by nature. He is very good at boasting. Relying on his sharp mouth and full of ghost ideas, Tian Buli quickly remembered that he was loved by Song Wangyan. He became a doctor in the State of Song, and he was free and comfortable.

It's just that the national fortune of the State of Song is getting gloomy, which aroused the vigilance of Tian Bute.

The State of Song was a special country during the Warring States Period. At that time, the seven kingdoms of Qin, Qi, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han and Yan were known as the kingdoms of Ten thousand times, while the State of Song was the eighth strongest, stronger than Zhongshan and almost the same as the State of Yan, but its special geographical location determined that it was not to become a great country.

Although the State of Yan is weak, it is located in the north, far away from the wars of the Central Plains countries, and its main opponent is only the State of Qi. The State of Song is different. It is located in the ointed place of Huaibei. During the Spring and Autumn Period, it also briefly dominated with the support of the State of Qi, but it was connected to Qiangqi in the north, Dachu in the south, and the State of Wei in the west. It was surrounded by a powerful country on all sides.

However, the monarchs of this generation of the State of Song were still war maniacs. He fought around regardless of the concerns of the small land danger of the State of Song. Go east to Qi and take five cities. Defeated Chu in the south, expanded more than 300 miles, defeated the Wei army in the west, took two cities, destroyed Teng, and had its own land. These short-lived victories made the State of Song temporarily strong, known as the "Five Thousand Power Song". He was called king six years before the "Kings of the Five Kingdoms" of Qin, Han, Yan and Zhao, which was quite envied by the princes at that time.

(PS: King of the Five Kingdoms, there was only one king in the world in the early Warring States Period, that is, Zhou Tianzi in Luoyi, and an unrecognized King of Chu. The State of Wei was the first to become powerful and become king, and then the State of Qi was also called king, followed by Qin. In the middle of the Warring States Period, the hegemony of the State of Wei declined. In order to fight against the horizontal strategy of the State of Qin, the monarchs of Wei, Zhao, Han, Yan and Zhongshan were launched to claim kings to each other. Historically known as the King of the Five Kingdoms, it is a great victory in Wei's diplomatic strategy.)

Although the land of the State of Song has increased, its failed strategy has also attracted enemies on all sides, attracting the unanimous hostility of Qi, Chu and Wei. When Tian Boli arrived at the State of Song, the state of Song was already on a downward slope, constantly losing the city and land under the encroachment of Qi, Chu and Wei.

And Tian Buri finally realized that although Song Guo is good, it is a gorgeous ship that is sinking. Sooner or later, glory and wealth will be over, and even whether his life can be saved is a problem. After the State of Zhao gave up the State of Song in order to obtain Zhongshan, the situation of the State of Song became more and more critical. Without the State of Zhao, a major country, to contain the State of Qi in the north, it was undoubtedly very difficult to compete with the State of Qi with the strength of the State of Song, not to mention the State of Chu and the State of Wei who had bad intentions.

Tian Bute saw that the State of Song could not last long. He took the opportunity to join the mission of the State of Song to the State of Zhao to try to save the relationship. In Handan, he found another opportunity to escape and went to the place alone to find the prince's seal, which led to the scene of meeting in the account now.

Now that he has recognized his old friend when he was a child, Zhao Zhang's vigilance naturally went away and waved his hand to signal his own soldiers to retreat. He laughed, took Tian's hand and said with a smile, "I heard from my mother that you went to the State of Song, and I cried a lot. Everything is fine in the State of Song now, but today he will return to the State of Zhao to visit me?

Tian Bure saw Zhao Zhang's enthusiastic look, which did not seem to be a hypocrisy, but his heart was settled. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "What the prince said is exactly. Since the last time we parted, the villain hasn't talked about you for 16 years, and he is very worried about you. It was a lot of reassuring to see the prince so heroic this time.

Speaking of this, Tian's face suddenly darken, and he bowed his head and sighed; "It's just that Queen Han has passed away for many years. The State of Song and the State of Zhao are thousands of miles away. Although I have the intention, I can't send my cousin for the last time. I found out that it was the day of Queen Han's sacrifice a few days ago, so I specially came to Daijun to see the prince, and I was worried about it.

Speaking of this, Tian's rude face was sad and choked. Zhao Zhang was moved when he saw it, but he came forward to comfort him: "It's rare for you to have a heart. I still remember the day of sacrifice of my mother. Sir, please don't be sad. If the mother knows, she will be very happy to know that the gentleman is thinking about him.

Tian Bute looked awe-inspiring and said sadly, "I hope so."

The two met, and they haven't seen each other for many years. After a sigh, they got much closer, and they asked about their lives for more than ten years. Zhao Zhang couldn't help asking strangely, "Mr. Song is a doctor, how can he run back to Zhao?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhang couldn't help thinking of the trouble caused by Tian Bute twice because of romanticism. He couldn't help smiling with a man's heart on his face, and looked at Tian rude with an ambiguously smile.

"Is it possible that Mr. Baodao is not old, and who is sleeping with? Is it the daughter of the King of Song this time?

Tian Bute laughed when he heard the words, and there was no shame on his face. Instead, he said with a smile, "This time, the prince guessed wrong. Although I Tian Bute is romantic, I also know the truth that there are no more than three things. Those are just stupid and ridiculous things that I did when I was young and frivolous. Now that I am nearly middle-aged, how can I be so fooled?

After saying that, Tian put away his smile and said with a serious look, "This time, I was envoy to the State of Zhao with the State of Song. The month before last, the State of Qi rushed to attack our Huaibei, and the soldiers pointed directly at the capital Pengcheng. My king was extremely shocked. I, the State of Song, is weak, and I'm afraid it's not a strong opponent, so I sent me and others to take advantage of South Korea and enter Zhao to ask for help from Zhao. I hope that Zhao can put pressure on the north and force Qi to withdraw.

Zhao Zhang's heart is bright, but he doesn't break it. In order to show his goodwill to the State of Qi in order to take all the way to Zhongshan, the Lord Father has already forgotten the former ally of the State of Song, and how can he care about the life and death of the State of Song. Therefore, Tian Fuli came to Handan this time, which must have been incompetent and fruitful.

Sure enough, Tian rudely said sadly, "It's just that when we arrived in Handan, we learned that the master had patrolled the Yanmen in the north. He asked to see the king of Zhao and was rejected several times, and Xiangbang Feiyi also hid and refused to meet us. We have been in Handan for a whole month, and there is no progress. I have nothing to do around Handan, and I heard that the prince is in Dai County, so I found time to run out to meet him.

Zhao Zhang lowered his head and thought about it, and said gently, "Since you are here, it's better to stay in Dai County for a few more days. You don't have to rush back to Handan, so that I can have the friendship of landlords."

Tian Bute didn't answer, but stared at Zhao Zhang for a long time and suddenly smiled, "Can I understand that the prince is implying that I don't have to rush back, and it's futile to go back."

Zhao Zhang was embarrassed when he was told to break his mind. He defended, "Sir, why did you say this?"

Tian Buri smiled and said, "In fact, I was still a little confused, but when I arrived at Dai County, I saw the army coming and going frequently, and suddenly it suddenly opened. It is thought that the State of Zhao is going to take action against Zhongshan, but he is afraid of the interference of the State of Qi, and the price of non-interference of the State of Qi is our State of Song. Can I guess right?

As a mature politician, you should understand that the diplomatic relations between countries are only driven by interests, which is generally the case. There has never been an immutable ally, and naturally there will be no immutable enemy. Former friends are likely to suddenly turn into enemies. In the same way, long-term feuds may also shake hands in a specific environment.

It's just that Zhao Zhang is young and not good at lying. He couldn't help but look a little embarrassed when he heard the words. He laughed a few times and said, "Sir, you really have a good eye. In fact, Zhao Zhang is not sincerely hiding it. It's just about military opportunity, so he dares not tell you. Please forgive me."

Tian rudely smiled and didn't care; "When did I blame the prince? To be fair, this choice made by the State of Zhao is also conducive to the development of the State of Zhao. Although Zhongshan is small, the State of Zhao is like a stag in the throat. Although the State of Song is weak, it is also a country of 5,000 times. Although the State of Qi is powerful, it is not so simple to annex the State of Song.

"The sacrifice of the State of Song can delay the whole State of Qi and let the State of Zhao take action to annex Zhongshan and clean up the countries. Such a cost-effective business can be done by anyone."

Zhao Zhang said with a smile, "Sir, you can think about it. That's good, so I don't have to bother to comfort you. You guessed it well. That's exactly what his father planned. He said that no matter how bad the State of Song is, he can support it for a few years, or even longer. During this period, most of the energy of the State of Qi will be delayed by the State of Song, and there will be no intention to interfere in the affairs of our State of Zhao, which will be beneficial to our State of Zhao's expedition to the four directions.

Zhao Zhangyan saw that Tian's face was not too sad. His face was still as usual, and he couldn't help asking curiously: "Mr. Song, as a doctor of Song, after hearing this, why didn't he have any worry? It seems to be normal."

Tian Bure smiled, waved his sleeves and said, "Does the prince think I should cry like 'Shen Baoxu Benqin'? The State of Song treats me as a doctor, and the King of Song treats me as a doctor. I have been running for the State of Song in Handan for several months, and I have done my duty as a minister. Besides, the fall of the State of Song to the current situation is also the prince of Song who formed the enemy everywhere and took the blame for himself. Now that the general trend of the State of Song has gone, I don't need to coexist with Song.

(PS: Shen Baoxu went to Qin. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Wu, with the assistance of Wu Zixu and Sun Wu, defeated the State of Chu in the Battle of Baiju and captured the capital of the powerful state of Chu at that time. Shen Baoxu, a doctor of the State of Chu, went to Qin and begged Qin Aigong to send troops to save Chu. At first, he was not allowed, but he didn't eat for seven days and cried in Qin court day and night. The mourning public was moved by it, and finally promised to send 500 soldiers to the rescue, and the State of Chu was recovered)
