Chapter 90 Great Dynasty Letter Palace 8
As soon as Fei Yi said this, more than a dozen people present actually applauded, and all of them agreed. Only Zhao Zhang Zoumei said: "Sangbang's move is a little too treacherous. In this way, we will inevitably be hated by the State of Yan. It's better to fight a battle happily. Now the main army that destroyed Zhongshan is still on standby. It can directly cut off the retreat of the army of the State of Qi, and then go north to make peace with the Yan army and annihilate the Qi army. What does my father think?
Zhao Yong Zoumei pondered for a while and said, "What you said is indeed tactically feasible, but it is not foolproof. The army must be very powerful. If Tian Wen, the commander of the Qi army, is more clever, I'm afraid that he will lead the Qi army to escape before our army arrives. Moreover, after all, the State of Qi is a big country. In terms of strong national strength, it is far better than ours. Even if his main army is lost in Hebei, he can easily recruit a large army from the mainland again. The King of Qi and Meng Changjun are both people who will be rewarded. If we stab a cold knife in the back, they will definitely hate our State of Zhao. From then on, there will be no possibility of reconciliation. The State of Qi will also regard our State of Zhao as the opposite of life and death, and how can we solve it with the State of Qin, who is competing for hegemony.
"So to deal with a country with strong resilience like the State of Qi, we must make a decision. Even if we can't completely fight it in World War I, at least we will hurt his vitality and have no power to fight back. Otherwise, it will inevitably turn the gun. From then on, it will regard our state of Zhao as its great enemy and leave our main energy in the river. This is contrary to the purpose of our State of Zhao to compete for hegemony.
Zhao He showed a puzzled look and said confusedly, "Father, do you mean that we, the State of Zhao, stand by and keep our strength first, and not interfere in the dispute between Qi Yan? In case the State of Yan can't stand it, what should it be?"
Zhao Yong shook his head with a smile and said, "Of course not. What I'm saying is to try to avoid meeting with the soldiers of the State of Qi, but it can force the State of Qi to retreat."
There is a slight difference in Feiyi, saying, "Forgive the old minister's stupidity. If he doesn't send troops, how can the State of Qi know that it is difficult to retreat?"
A smile appeared at the corners of Zhao Yong's mouth, "I decided to invite the kings and princes of all countries to the banquet together in the Xingong Dynasty. What do you think?"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked, and almost everyone couldn't help looking at each other.
In the great dynasty, the princes were ordered to congratulate. What a majestic thing this is. It seems that only Zhou Tianzi can do it before the decline. Even the hegemony of Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, King Zhuang of Chu and others who have dominated successively only ordered some small monarchs to come to the alliance, and most of the locations were selected abroad.
It can be trusted that they are all accompanied by the State of Zhao, in the hinterland of the State of Zhao. Today, Qi, Qin, Chu, Wei, Han and Yan are also the country of thousands of thousands of people. If Zhao Yong originally wanted to order the princes to come, I'm afraid it will end coldly and become a joke of the people in the world.
But today is different from the past. After swallowing the Zhongshan Kingdom, the north and south of the State of Zhao were integrated into one catty, the population also increased by a small half, and the country's momentum soared. More importantly, in just one month, the once powerful Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed by the State of Zhao. The military strength of the State of Zhao moved people all over the world. In terms of military strength alone, the strength of the State of Zhao has surpassed that of Qi Qin, ranking first among the princes.
Therefore, the master's father made such a confident decision to promote the national prestige in the princes of the Xingong Dynasty and announced to the world that the State of Zhao had officially entered the period of hegemony, and was no longer the poor and weak State of Zhao who looked up to others in everything.
In the early Warring States Period, the State of Wei, which quickly became strong after the change of Li and Wu, was the first to dominate. After the decline of the hegemony of the State of Wei, the State of Qi and the State of Qin, which changed the law and strengthened themselves, have always been the protagonists of hegemony. After the State of Chu was cheated by Zhang Yi and hit hard, the trend of the world's two-pole dialect became more and more obvious. The State of Qin and the State of Qi were different from east to west, while Sanjin and Chu Yan sometimes fell to the State of Qi, sometimes to the State of Qin, and were driven as pawns to compete for hegemony.
When Zhao Yong first ascended the throne, the national strength of the State of Zhao declined, and several times in response to the call of the State of Qi to fight against Qin, it was a great defeat and suffered heavy losses. Zhao Yong simply withdrew from the vertical and turned to focus on developing his strength. He maintained a peaceful attitude with other countries. There had been no large-scale war for more than ten years.
In order to keep a low profile, Zhao Yong even voluntarily gave up the royal title and became a king. Even Song, Yan and Zhongshan, whose strength was different from that of the State of Zhao, were successively called kings, but Zhao Yong abandoned the royal title and gave up the honorific title of "king".
Zhao Yong's explanation for this is "No fact, dare to take its name."
Without the strength to be a king, he did not want to be famous. When Zhao Yong said this, he was so heartache and unwilling. The weakness of the State of Zhao at that time made him extremely sad, so he was more and more eager to change his law and self-improvement. Today, after the annexation of Zhongshan, Linhu and Loufan, the State of Zhao has doubled its territory and has the best cavalry army in the world, which has initially had the capital to dominate the Central Plains.
Under the words of Zhao Yongzheng, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked by it. Even Gong Zicheng and others, who opposed Hufu's riding and shooting, had to admit that Zhao Yong was indeed a rare genius. In the twenty-nine years when he was in charge of the State of Zhao, the State of Zhao jumped from a poor and weak second-rate vassal state to a strong military force with hundreds of thousands of armor and riding tens of thousands of horses.
In the Xin Palace of the Great Dynasty, the State of Zhao undoubtedly wants to announce to the princes of the world that the State of Zhao will be tied with Qin Qi and officially enter the ranks of hegemony, and intervening in the war between the State of Qi and the State of Yan is undoubtedly the first step for the action of Zhao.
The hall was extremely quiet for a moment. Everyone couldn't help holding their breath, with a look of looking at each other. This is undoubtedly an iconic event for the State of Zhao, that is, after the decline of Wei Wenhou's hegemony, the State of Zhao became the new leader of the Three Jin Dynasties, inheriting the hegemony of the Spring and Autumn Giant Jin, above the princes.
"Zhao Xin." Zhao Yong shouted loudly.
: "The last will be." Zhao Xin took a step forward and responded loudly.
"I sent an edict to send a letter to the kings of Qi, Qin, Chu, Wei, Han, Yan, Song, Lu and Wei, inviting them and the prince to come to the letter palace. Report to Zhou Tianzi and ask him to send an envoy to congratulate him. If not, regard our State of Zhao as the enemy!"
"No!" Zhao Xin's blood was boiling, and his beating heart seemed to jump out of his mouth and turned around and strode away.
"Fatness."
"I'm here."
"The edict is proposed so that Zhao Gu, the prime minister, can lead the army to the east and camp in the east. If the Qi army takes the initiative to provoke, it will not hesitate to counterattack."
Fei Yi hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhao He, who was a little at a loss, and still bowed his head and answered, "No."
"Zhao Zhang."
"My son is here."
"You immediately took the cavalry of the headquarters, took my letter to the Qi army camp, and invited Meng Changjun to come to the letter palace."
Zhao Zhang was stunned. There were 300,000 troops in the Qi army, and there were only 10,000 cavalry in his headquarters. If Zhao Yong's behavior angered him, his life would not be guaranteed.
So Zhao Zhang said worriedly, "What if he doesn't agree?"
Zhao Yong smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry, Tian Wen is a smart person. Smart people usually don't do stupid things. He will definitely come, unless he doesn't want to return to Qi alive."
When Zhao Zhang saw that his father made such a guarantee, he didn't say much and had to take the order.
After Zhao Yong gave the order, he suddenly remembered that Zhao He was still around, so he turned his head and said with a smile, "He Er, do you have anything else to say?"
Zhao He shook his head with a gloomy expression. He lowered his head and whispered, "No more, father."
