In the city of Yishui Wuyang, Zhou Qing and the three of them did not stay for too long, but they had a full meal, and after a trip to the merchants, they went out from the south gate of the East City, went straight to the west, crossed the Yishui River, and after a short time, they entered the territory of Zhao State, which was guarded by the checkpoint.

Compared with the sparsely populated Yan Kingdom, the territory of Zhao State is every dozens of miles, every hundred miles, there is a city and market town of different sizes, with a large population and prosperous agriculture and industry.

Although after the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Handan, after these twenty or thirty years, the vitality of Zhao Guo's great injury seems to have recovered a lot, and the number of soldiers with armor is no less than 300,000, and most of them are stationed in Yanmen, Taiyuan and other places.

In recent years, the Xiongnu in Beidi gradually rose, causing a lot of threat to the northern border of Qin and Zhao, so the two countries have a lot of soldiers, that is, decades ago when the Changping War between Qin and Zhao was warned, the army in the north has not been transferred.

"Since the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of vassal states, now there are only seven warring states left, before the battle of Jinyang, the Jin country was divided by the six Shangqing, the Zhao family replaced the country as the foundation, set up the county, for this reason, abandon Mrs. Thorn, Zhao Xiangzi is also a generation of heroes!"

The Spring and Autumn Jin Kingdom was originally the most promising vassal state of the Ji family surnamed Zhuxia, but unfortunately, many faint lords came out and the royal power fell. Riding a horse in the southern area of Daigun, where more than 200 years ago, it was owned by Daikoku.

Replacing the country, the foundation of the Zhao clan gradually became stronger, and Zhao Xiangzi came out, laying the foundation of the Zhao clan, and the city of Jinyang was the place where the Zhao clan rose back.

Zhi Boyao is so talented, but it is difficult to defeat the general trend, his head was cut off, and he was cast in a wine bottle! If the Zhao clan can be successfully defeated and the power can be unified, the two great ministers of Han and Wei will not be afraid, the power of the Jin State is concentrated, and the Qi State, the Chu State, and the Yue State are not afraid!

Of course, if Zhi Boyao is really allowed to succeed, I am afraid that there will be no current general trend of the Warring States and the scene of Qin State's hegemony over Zhuxia. The Zhi clan died and the three Jin were divided, the three Jin were divided and the seven countries were divided, and the seven countries were warn!

"This may be the way of heaven, there is giving and taking, there is advance and retreat, so it is a mixed yuan, grasp the way of Qiankun, it can last for a long time, if Zhi Boyao can be as forbearant as Zhao Xiangzi, it can't be said, it will be different."

Listening to Uncle Shi talk about the past of the Jin Kingdom hundreds of years ago, Zhi Boyao intends to restore the hegemony of the Jin Kingdom, and wants to weaken the power of the six Shangqing, but in fact, he is also weakening his own strength and increasing the power of external hostility.

In the battle of Jinyang, Zhang Meng, a retainer of the Zhao family, talked about how the lobbying was successful? Without what Zhi Boyao did before, it would be impossible to easily move the Han and Wei families, and the water of Jinyang poured in, shattering Zhi Boyao's hopes, and also drowning the last big country in the Spring and Autumn Period.

"Uncle Shi, if the Qin State is in a general trend, will its country last long?"

When it comes to the original Jin State, on the other hand, today's Qin State has the strength to dominate the world, although it is slightly different, but the way of the Qiankun is the same, and the Jin State is in decline, and the Qin State does not know what will happen in the future?

Xiao Ling asked strangely, Uncle Shi has helped the Qin State a lot, he should have considered this problem a long time ago, could it be that Uncle Shi thought that the Qin State could be eternal? This is against the general trend of heaven.

"If you want to climb the avenue, you must have a wonderful understanding of yin and yang, rigidity and softness go hand in hand, practice is so, and this is especially true in ordinary countries, practice is related to cards, governing the country is also related to cards, break through the past, stretch the country, can't break through, and gradually decline."

"If you want to have a truly immortal national ancestor, maybe it is possible to wait for all the people of Zhuxia to reach the realm of virtue as the ancestor said, and when they all reach the realm of Datong as mentioned by Confucian Confucius."

What is the future of the Qin State, Zhou Qing has thought about it, but it is precisely because of thinking about it that he feels that the avenue is eternal, and in the original years, the age of governing the country in one day is only fifteen, and it is to fall.

But what can the successor do, after all, it is inevitable to reincarnate yin and yang, and what Xiao Ling said is also comparable to whether mortals can live forever, and for thousands of years, who can do it?

"The morning fungus doesn't know the obscurity, the cockroach doesn't know the spring and autumn, and this small year is also. There are spirits in the south of Chu, and five hundred years old is the spring, and five hundred years old is the autumn. In ancient times, there was a big chun, with 8,000 years old as spring, 8,000 years old as autumn, this big year also. ”

"In the face of eternal time, perhaps everything in heaven and earth is embellished, but just as the sky is full of stars, the same are stars, some stars are obscure, and some are illuminated for hundreds of millions of miles."

In the vast world, the individual is insignificant after all, and the existence of life is not for death, but for the sake of blooming the most dazzling light in that limited time.

The head turned slightly, looked at the side to look at the little spirit and the little clothes who were coming, sighed lightly, waved his hand, and pointed to the side of the road, a wild flower growing in the spring wind, trembling in the cold wind, I don't know where it will exist in the future.

"You may wonder why I should help the kingdom of the world if it is difficult to last long! But looking at this flower, growing on the side of the road, helping to cultivate it, isn't it a little more delicate, and that may be my purpose, although it still can't avoid death. ”

"But its life has been brilliant and brilliant after all, or there are historians who hold a pen, such as Dai Guo, in a word, and Zhao Guo covers it in ten words, I don't know how much Qin can get?"

With a finger on his fingers, the vitality between heaven and earth turned into an illusory beam of light, which was sealed in the body of that wild flower by Zhou Qing, perhaps, this is its chance, maybe it can also bloom a more beautiful scene than those precious flowers.

With the clear words in his mouth, he went all the way south, passing through the hometown of the original Zhongshan Kingdom, passing through the ...... of Yang City, Gu City, Anping City, and Luxu City, and perhaps behind every city there was a small country in the Spring and Autumn Period.

But they have all been annihilated, close to Zhangshui, swim down, not long, across the land of the dunes, a generation of male lord Zhao Wuling King is not guaranteed, and in the long river of years, decades later, the same Gai Shiying Lord fell here.

did not stay, continued to go south, passed the city of giant deer, passed the city of Feishui, walked down Zhangshui, went north for a hundred miles, and went head-on, where the city of Handan, which had not been seen for a long time, appeared in the depths of the eyes.

******

"Uncle Shi."

In the heaven and earth of Handan Zhaomei Pond, leaving the city of Yishui Wuyang, it took more than half a month along the way, and finally came here again in a season of birds and flowers.

It's been nearly three years since I last came to Zhaomeichi, but since I entered the city, except for a little strangeness, there hasn't been much difference.

Take a bath, wash away a lot of dust, return to the hall, taste the delicacies, and wait for several Taoists to bow close to the white phoenix and the ink crow guards, and they have not seen each other for several years, just like the parrot song of Jicheng, the cultivation of the white phoenix and the ink crow has almost reached a critical point.

The void guard is a little worse, but it is not too slow, waving his hand, signaling everyone to get up, staying in the mundane for a long time, all kinds of good things have not been learned, but these cumbersome etiquette is a lot.

"Handan City seems to have withered a lot, why is that?"

Yes, that was Zhou Qing's first feeling after entering the city of Handan, three years ago, when he entered Handan, businessmen gathered, convoys continued, walking on the streets, and there were endless shouts.

But this time when I entered, it seemed that I was affected by something, on the wide and flat street, most of the shops on both sides had closed doors, even in the Zhaomei Pond shrouded by spiritual awareness, and there were few nobles in the office.

"This ......, a considerable part of it was made by Guo Kai, although he was a traitor, but he was quite liked by Zhao Wangqian, and he was in power, which caused the dissatisfaction of the rest of the royal family."

"Guo Kai slandered that just last year, seven or eight royal nobles were killed, the family was connected, and there was a secret transmission that Uncle Shi had given us, and the former prince Jia was also weakening Zhao Wangqian's power."

"Therefore, the two are fighting, in Handan, there are many deaths and injuries among the nobles of the office, and those businessmen are not afraid, so they have fled a lot, and even a graceful place in Suizhao Meichi does not exist, and Xue Ji was also sent to Jicheng by me."

After sitting in Handan Zhaomeichi for three years, I thought that my uncle would ask some other things, but I never wanted to go straight to the core, and I bowed to the front of him, thought about it slightly, and said slowly.

King Zhao moved his mind without great ambitions, was blinded by Guo Kai, stayed in the palace all day long to drink and have fun, and the power was controlled by Guo Kai, which seemed to be a good thing for the former prince Jia.

wants to take the opportunity to take away part of the rights, but Guo Kai is not stupid, the two tigers compete, which makes Handan have the appearance it has now, not only that, but even the business of Zhaomeichi is much worse.

"There is also the secret report we received ten days ago, the general of the camp outside the Qin State Guan, Huan Qi and Yang Duanhe, led an army of 100,000, one stationed in the place where Shangdang was staying, and the other was stationed in the land of Pingyang in the south of Zhao State."

"I think those businessmen also got the news in advance and hid one or two in advance, otherwise, according to the convention, many of their goods are quite dangerous."

The status of the merchants has always been low, and they have a lot of money, in normal times, they are naturally fine, but if it is a big chaos, and when the royal family has no money, those merchants are lambs waiting to be killed.

For hundreds of years, it has been like this, businessmen are not stupid, they want to avoid disasters.

"The spring ploughing ceremony has passed, three years of precipitation, no troops to deter the six countries of Shandong, I'm afraid that the blades will rust."

"Who will Zhao send to fight?"

The generals Huan Qi and Yang Duan and these two are not weak, as for Wang Jian and others in the Lantian camp in Guannei, they are still tempering 400,000 new troops, and they are not yet the time to make a move.

And on Zhao Guo's side, as far as he knows, there don't seem to be many soldiers who can fight.

The former Xiangguo Pang Xuan was seriously injured and died a few years ago, and the general Hu Xuan was also in the Qin State when he was building the Zheng State Canal, and wanted to commit Qin, and was attacked and killed by Wang Jian and his troops.

"This ......, according to Zhao Wangqian's will, the person who led the troops on this trip was Zhao Mu, the Marquis of Julu, and he was friendly with Guo Kai, and the military affairs were not obvious, but secretly, there seemed to be another person."

"Uncle Fei's shadow, I almost didn't know about it, and even forgot about it."

mentioned the people who Zhao Guo was fighting, and his expression was stagnant, feeling the look of his uncle's exploration, he did not hide it, and fell slowly.

"Who? Could it be Li Mu, the existing famous general of Zhao State? ”

Apart from him, Zhou Qing couldn't think of anyone else in Zhao Guo who could make Xushou look like this.

"It's not Li Mu, it's the former general Lian Po, that Prince Jia doesn't know what means he used, but he actually recovered Lian Po, who had retired in the border fields of Wei State, and re-commanded the army."

"Zhao Mu, the marquis of the giant deer, is the general Lian Po secretly!"
