Xiong Huai nodded, then looked at Gongzi Wangcai and said: "Now everyone knows that the prestige and power of Gongzi Zhang of Zhao Guo in the government and the opposition and in the army far surpasses that of Zhao Wanghe. However, now the widow wants to ask you, who is the person with the highest prestige and power in the army in the Zhao State now. ”

"Yes..." Gongzi Wangcai's face changed, and then he looked at Xiong Huai in surprise and said, "Father is talking about Master Zhao's father?" ”

"Yes, it's Master Zhao." Xiong Huai nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "The widow asks you again, who is the person with the most prestige and power in the Zhao Kingdom now, among the government and the opposition." ”

Gongzi Wangcai took a big breath of cold air when he heard this, and responded: "It's still Master Zhao's father!" ”

"Wrong." Xiong Huai shook his head.

"Wrong?" Gongzi Wangcai was stunned, looked at Xiong Huai in astonishment and said: "Father, why hasn't King Zhao performed the crown salute yet, and now the power of Zhao is still on Lord Zhao's father." ”

Xiong Huai sneered: "No, if Lord Zhao's father has not abdicated and established King Zhao He as the king, then he will naturally be the person with the greatest prestige and power, but since he abdicated six years ago, the person with the most prestige and power in the Zhao government and opposition has changed, and has become the teacher of Zhao Wanghe and the important minister of the prison state, Xiangguo Feiyi." ”

"Fatty?" When Gongzi Wangcai heard Xiong Huai mention it, he was shocked and said: "Father is saying that if the name is not right, it will not be good." ”

"Yes, it's just that the name is not right, and the words are not good." Xiong Huai said with a smile: "Since the abdication of Lord Zhao's father, he first attacked Zhongshan State, then Qin State, and then Qi State, he has too little time in the court. If it weren't for Feiyi's loyalty to him, I'm afraid that Zhao Guo would have been in chaos by now.

Of course, it was precisely because Lord Zhao's father knew that Feiyi was loyal to him, so he dared to entrust the country and King Zhao to Feiyi. ”

"Therefore, now Gongzi Zhang wants to rebel, and his opponent is not only Zhao Wanghe, but also Zhao's master's father, and Xiangguo Feiyi."

As he spoke, Xiong Huai turned his gaze to the north: "Why don't you talk about him Wang Zhao, after all, he hasn't done the crown salute yet." Let's talk about Master Zhao first!

The current Zhao master is in his prime, and he overwhelmed the ministers to carry out Hufu cavalry shooting, and then suppressed the Hu people in the north and expanded the land for thousands of miles. A few years ago, he strongly destroyed the Zhongshan Kingdom, then led the Six-Nation Alliance to defeat the Qin army in Hedong, and led the Five-Nation Coalition to forcibly capture Gaotang, one of the five capitals of the Qi State. Now, Lord Zhao's prestige in the country has reached its peak.

And the reason why Gongzizhang has great prestige in the army and the opposition is that seventy percent of them belong to Lord Zhao's father, because he is the son of Lord Zhao's father, and one percent belongs to King Zhao, because he is King Zhao's elder brother. Once Gongzi Zhang rebelled and betrayed Lord Zhao's father and King Zhao, his reputation in the army and the government and the opposition would be weakened to the extreme. ”

"So..." Xiong Huai looked at Gongzi Wangcai and asked: "Wangcai, if Gongzi Zhang rebelled, then do you think the soldiers of Zhao State are willing to listen to Gongzi Zhang, or are they willing to listen to Master Zhao's father." ”

Gongzi Wangcai didn't want to think about it, and responded directly: "Of course it's Master Zhao's." ”

"yes." Xiong Huai nodded heavily, and then spoke: "If Gongzi Zhang directly announced his betrayal of Master Zhao and Zhao Wang He, then the forces in the hands of Gongzi Zhang and Niu Jian would definitely not listen to them." And if Gongzi Zhang only targets Zhao Wanghe, even if he successfully gets rid of Zhao Wanghe...

But he still has to face Master Zhao's father.

The following crimes, rebellion, chaos in the country, with such a crime, if Zhao Zhu's father still compromised, and let Gongzizhang inherit the throne.

Then the Zhao country will never have peace, and even the weakening and destruction of the country will be predictable.

Therefore, once Gongzizhang rebelled, Master Zhao had only one way to send troops to quell the rebellion.

And as long as Master Zhao's father comes forward and declares Gongzi Zhang a rebellion, then with Zhao's father's prestige in Zhao State, Gongzi Zhang will only have the road of defeat. ”

Xiong Huai paused, and then said, "Not only Lord Zhao, but also Feiyi.

Fei Yi served Zhao Suhou in his early years, and won the trust of Zhao Suhou, because before Zhao Suhou died of illness, he had entrusted Zhao Guo and Zhao's father, who was only fifteen years old, to him. And Feiyi did not live up to the trust of Zhao Suhou, on the one hand, he also trained Zhao's master and father to become a talent, and on the other hand, he governed Zhao State with trepidation, and made Zhao State prosperous.

A few years ago, Zhao's father entrusted Zhao Wang He and Zhao Guo to him, and let Feiyi govern Zhao with the respect of Xiangguo. Now in the Zhao government, more than half of the ministers are promoted and recommended by Feiyi. Therefore, in terms of Feiyi's prestige in the dynasty alone, even Lord Zhao's father is inferior, not to mention his son-in-law.

Once Gongzizhang rebelled, as long as Fei Yi raised his arms, the nobles of Zhao State would inevitably respond by thousands.

Even, with the elders of the three dynasties of Feiyi, the division of two generations of King Zhao in succession, and the prestige of supervising the country for decades, as long as he comes forward, maybe the army in the hands of Gongzi Zhang will be directly dispersed. ”

Saying that, Xiong Huai couldn't help but sigh: "Therefore, the widow would think that Gongzizhang's uprising would fail nine times out of ten, because his strength was too false, and the strength of his opponent was too strong."

His only chance is to be able to raid Zhao's master's father, Xiangguo Feiyi, and Zhao Wanghe at the same time, and capture all three.

As long as the three of Master Zhao's father get rid of any of them, then his chances of success are extremely slim.

Don't talk about Lord Zhao's father and Feiyi, just say Zhao Wang He, as long as Zhao Wang He can escape, he can rely on the identity of Zhao Wang to justifiably mobilize the strength of the entire Zhao State. Because, he is the king of Zhao confirmed by Lord Zhao's father, and his name has been decided. Moreover, from the moment Gongzi Zhang rebelled, Gongzi Zhang had already lost his most important thing: his reputation.

And the reason why I think Gongzizhang will definitely fail is because Gongzizhang's strength is not enough to divide the troops into three ways and succeed in one battle.

But Gongzizhang's strength is too weak, and I see from Ziqing's letter that Gongzizhang intentionally or unintentionally ignored Master Zhao's father. And the reason why they ignored Master Zhao's father was not because they didn't think of it, but because they lacked strength.

Because once Gongzizhang rebelled, there was no guarantee that the army under his command would really be willing to follow them to attack King Zhao and even Lord Zhao's father, instead of turning against him.

That's the key to their possibility. ”

After speaking, Xiong Huai turned his head to look at Gongzi Wangcai, and admonished him earnestly: "Wangcai, I told you so much for my father, in fact, I was not just talking about Gongzi Zhang, but about all the wars.

Sun Tzu said: The major affairs of the country of soldiers, the place of death and life, and the way of survival must not be ignored. Therefore, every time we take the initiative to start a war, we must consider it thoroughly, and we must not just superficially do it.

It's like attacking South Korea, then you must first consider the attitude of Zhao and Wei, and then explore the idea of Qin, and even, you have to consider the possibility of South Korea bribing Qi.

Therefore, every time you face a war, in fact, your opponent is not only the opponent in front of you, but also the others who hide behind his side.

That's why Sun Tzu said: Go to the army to fight and plan, then fight the enemy, and then attack the army. ”

Speaking of this, Xiong Huai looked at Gongzi Wangcai and admonished: "Wangcai, I hope you can remember my words today, and don't be like Ziqing, taking Chu and the soldiers of Chu as your own qualifications." ”

"Thank you for your father's teachings, and your sons will remember them in your heart, and you won't dare to forget them." Gongzi Wangcai bowed cautiously.

After a pause, he said worriedly: "Father, if Gongzi Zhang will fail, then... The third brother's side..."

Xiong Huai thought for a while, and then sighed: "Ziqing's side... As long as he doesn't follow Gongzizhang closely and stay away from the fiercest battlefield, as long as he doesn't fight to the death, it's not a thing.

And all the widow could do was to persuade him, and that was to equip him with a good suit of armor, and give him a sum of money, so that he could recruit a few more warriors to protect him. ”

Childe Wangcai: "······"

A few days later, Chen Zhen returned.

"The King." At this time, Chen Zhen sat in the audience, and said with a relaxed face: "Since the ministers left Chu to go to Qi, it took more than a year before and after, spending more than 30,000 gold, and dozens of treasures, and finally split the King of Qi and the Tian clan.

Before, Tian Jia rebelled, Tian Wen fled, and then the King of Qi expelled the Tian clan, not long ago, the King of Qi officially issued an edict to depose Tian Piao's sacrificial wine position, causing Tian Piao to run away in anger and defect to Meng Weijun Tian Wen.

Now, with Tian Wen and Tian Piao spreading rumors everywhere, coupled with our encouragement, the contradiction between Qi Wangdi and Tian has completely intensified, and they will not be reconciled in a short period of time, or even ten years. ”

"Well, well, after years of hard work, now it finally has come to fruition!" Xiong Huai looked at Chen Zhen happily and said, "There is Lao Xianqing." ”

At this time, Chen Zhen arched his hand again and said: "King, the minister is guilty." ”

Xiong Huai was stunned: "Why did Xianqing say this." ”

Chen Zhen said ashamedly: "Previously, the minister didn't know that the king intended to let the prince worship Shenzi as a teacher, but after the minister deposed Tian Piao in the land of King Qi, he let people spread rumors of Shenzi's moral corruption to prevent Shenzi from taking over Tian Piao as the sacrificial wine.

Therefore, although the minister succeeded in making Shenzi lose the opportunity to make sacrificial wine, it also made Shenzi full of rumors and virtue.

Now the king let the prince worship Shenzi as a teacher, which is the sin of the minister. ”

"It doesn't matter." Xiong Huai said indifferently: "It can be regarded as a test for Zi Mouse, if others are also cloudy, their hearts are resistant, and they can't sincerely worship under Shenzi's door, then it is also his heart to cover his blindness." ”

Chen Zhen was even more upset when he heard this.

After a pause, Chen Zhen spoke again: "Great King, the minister has been in the Qi Kingdom during this time, and he has heard a secret story about the land of the King of Qi.

It is said that since the king of Qi was hijacked by Tian Jia, although the king of Qi was quickly rescued, he also fell into a disease.

It is said that Qi Wangdi is now suffering from heart palpitations and brain disease, and often wakes up in the middle of the night, and often has a splitting brain.

Although he was diagnosed and treated by Qi Guoqun, Qi Wangdi's condition did not improve. Moreover, with the defeat of the Qi State at the hands of the Five Kingdoms, the condition of the Qi Wangdi became even more serious. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, and immediately stared at Chen Zhen and asked, "Is this true?" ”

"Nine times out of ten." Chen Zhen nodded and said: "Before the minister left the Qi State, the prince Rong of the Qi State had already begun to seek medical treatment everywhere, although the prince Rong was under the banner of treating himself, but after the minister's investigation, the prince Rong was not sick at all.

Yes, the minister speculated that the rumors of Qi Wangdi's illness should be true. ”

Xiong Huai was stunned, and then smiled: "Heart palpitations, brain disease, interesting!" ”
