Zhao Guo's shot was really much more generous than Chu Guo, it was night, after sealing Chen Yu as the secretary and Chen Sheng as the captain, Zhao Xie summoned Kui Che again.

"Mr. Kuai thinks that Er Chen is credible?"

Kui Che smiled: "The current situation, as a hundred years ago, scholars wander the princes, just seeking to get ahead, today from Qin, tomorrow to Chu, the day after tomorrow to Zhao, but they will not be loyal to Zhao, nor will they be loyal to Chu ......"

"Only be true to your own interests!"

"The king gave more to Er Chen than Chu State, and his generation can contribute to Zhao State. That Chen Sheng is an outsider, and he can only rely on making meritorious contributions to the king in order to gain a foothold in Zhao Di, as for Chen Yu...... He used to be in Hengshan County all the year round, and he traveled extensively with local heroes, so the king might as well let the two of them go to Hengshan Mountain. ”

This is also the strategy formulated by Kuaiche for the emerging Zhao State, with Li Zuoche south to resist the Qin soldiers, so that Lu Goujian in the north of Yan to expand himself, now there are more Erchen, Hengshan County can also send a soldier over.

"If Zhao can be based on the big river in the south, Taihang in the west, and swallow Yan and Dai in the north, it will be a frontier country, not weaker than Chu, and Xiang Ji will not dare to give orders to Zhao. In the future, by taking the shelter of the north and south Qin, you can seize Taiyuan, Shangdang, Hedong, Hanoi, all according to Jizhou, and have the ambition to the world! ”

"Mr. To's words." Zhao Xie is very grateful, if there is no Kuaiche and the revival of Zhao State, I am afraid it will not be so smooth.

But before Kui Che left, Zhao Xie asked what he had always doubted.

"Mr. Kuai has spent his heart and planned for many years, messing up the center of Qin, in order to change the world, and now he is traveling between Qi and Zhao, and he has rejected the two phases of the widow and the Qi country, and he does not take an inch of land and fiefdom, he is only willing to be a guest, sir, where are you loyal?"

Archer didn't answer, only smiled and left.

Out of Congtai, he raised his head to look at the winter night sky, and said secretly: "I am only loyal to the way of vertical and horizontal!" ”

Vertical and horizontal, no vertical is no horizontal, no horizontal is no vertical, horizontal can become vertical, vertical can also become horizontal! This is the true meaning of vertical and horizontal!

For the Zonghengjia, the unification is boring.

For them, the best times should be to give gifts and pay for war, and abandon benevolence and righteousness in favor of deceit.

He is a usurper, and he is listed as a prince; The country of deceit is strong!

There is no son of heaven above, and there is no uncle below; Strive for strength, the winner is right!

That's the stage where the people of the vertical and horizontal shine!

Kuaiche smiled: "If you can really score three points, Northern Qin, Southern Qin, and the Six Kingdoms are evenly matched, and each has its own territory, then the people who will be in the future will have to thank me Kuaicher." ”

"Thank you for giving them again, creating a paradise! Vertical and horizontal strategists can be like Zhang Yi and Su Qin, who prosper the country with one word and lose the state with one word; The country where it is located is heavy, and the country where it is going is light; If you are angry, the princes will be afraid, and if you live in peace, the world will rest! ”

As for the endless military revolution brought about by this division, the combination of fraud and hypocrisy, and the murderous wilderness?

As for the innocent people in the world brought about by this strife, and the bones of father and son in the middle of the field, there are countless people?

I'm sorry, these things are the business of Confucianism, Huang Lao, and Famo, and they are not considered by the Zongheng family!

……

Kuaicher only digs a pit and doesn't bury it, and relies on lip service and conspiracy to disrupt the world, but he doesn't care how to turn chaos into governance in the future.

And Cao Shen of Jiaodong tossed and turned, thinking about how to keep Jiaodong safe.

More than three months have passed since Cao participated in Chen Ping's alliance with 13 big businessmen in July to seize Jiaodong, and the situation in Jiaodong has been completely stabilized.

In accordance with Chen Ping's policy of "lips and teeth are cold", Cao Shen led 5,000 troops to support Langya County, and confronted Mo Aolong of Chu State between Ju County and Zhucheng. Because the main force of the Chu soldiers attacked the Central Plains with Xiang Yu, although Long He had tens of thousands of troops, it was still difficult to break through the defensive line, and Langya City was controlled by Jiaodong, and the ships also took advantage of this to go south.

The route from Langya to Huiji has been in ancient times, the trouble is that thousands of miles of coasts are occupied by the Chu State, fortunately, in the east of Qu County, Donghai County, there is a big island named Yuntai (Lianyungang), deserted, but there is a river of fresh water, the building boat Sima Luoyu occupied that, as the hub of north-south navigation, Jiaodong and Huiji, can be navigated once a month to transmit information.

The real trouble was in the west, and last month, the Qin Linzi county guard accepted Chen Ping's proposal, and the two sides suspended their troops, and Linzi was able to concentrate the county troops to deal with Peng Yue, the great thief of the Great Nozawa, who intended to seize the land of Qi.

But Peng Yue cunning and good soldiers, a few battles down, Linzi suffered heavy losses, plus the dragon and saw that Langya was difficult to take, so he sent people to cross the East Taishan, attack the south of Linzi, under the attack on both sides, Linzi is difficult to support, it is expected that before the spring at the latest, Linzi will fall.

For a time, a large number of Linzi refugees who had escaped the scourge of war poured into Jiaodong, and Chen Ping accepted them all, and asked people to organize them to live in the east of Weishui, and select young and strong people for training, in order to add new sources of soldiers to Jiaodong.

But the county guard Cao Shen was a little pessimistic:

"I'm sure to hold the southern front, but on the western front, can I stop the menacing bandits by relying on those improvised refugees and merchant servants?"

Cao Shen has written to inform Chen Ping of his troubles, but Chen Ping has not yet replied.

Just thinking about it, there was a military official outside the door to see, but it was Yu Guang, a native of Lu County (Mengyin, Shandong), he was originally from Langya, and was transferred to Jiaodong a few years ago as a rate chief, and was Cao Shen's subordinate.

Yu Guang was Cao Shen's right-hand man, so he let him in and made his intentions clear.

"County lieutenant, the subordinate inspected the military camp today, and met an old fellow villager, he was a cloth cloth scribe, the Chu soldiers entered Langya, he fled to this side, was conscripted into the army as a soldier, and did the work of saving the wheel."

To put it bluntly, he is a cart puller who works hard, and he is the lowest-level soldier in the army.

"Do you pity him and want to intercede for him?"

Cao Shen knew that he had always been very flexible in doing things, so he smiled and said, "Then let him go to your camp as a personal guard." ”

"Not really."

Yu Guang arched his hand and said: "I did intend to save him from this hard work, but he asked me about the recent situation in Jiaodong, and I picked what I could say, and he said that Jiaodong Shou and Wei must have made a difficulty, and said that there is a clever plan to let Jiaodong not have to suffer from the enemy, and I hope I can introduce him to the county lieutenant." ”

"Oh?"

Cao Shen was a little surprised, a leader in the army, he could see through the words of the situation that he was in trouble?

But after thinking about it, didn't Wu Zhonghou and Chen Ping all start from the end of the micro? Then he became interested and asked Yu Guang to bring his fellow villagers in.

After a while, the person had arrived, and sure enough, it was a Qianshou who had just finished the heavy work of pulling the cart and was covered in the smell of sweat, more than thirty years old, with a short beard, his head tied in a flat bun, and he knelt at the door with some restraint, and bowed to Cao Shen.

He was dressed very inappropriately, Yu Guang was a little embarrassed, afraid that Cao Shen would be angry, and hurriedly explained: "The subordinate wanted to be fresh with his clothes and let him be decent, but he said, 'The minister's clothes are silky, the clothes are brown, the clothes are brown, and the clothes are brown, and they dare not change their clothes'." ”

Cao Shen asked the man loudly: "It's just a change of clothes, why don't you dare?" ”

This person raised his head and said with a smile: "You can bully the county lieutenant with your clothes, and you can also bully him with your words, the villain doesn't dare to bully the county lieutenant!" ”

"Ha, I can speak well."

Cao Shen asked this person, "What is your name?" ”

The pawn bowed again: "Villain Lou Jing!" ”

Cao Shen tore a chicken leg in his mouth and asked vaguely: "Lou Jing, what do you want to say when you ask Sima Yu to introduce you to me?" ”

Lou Jing also had fish and meat in front of him, but he just swallowed his saliva and didn't move: "Yan Jiaodong's safety is in danger!" ”

Cao Shen sucked on the chicken bones: "Go on." ”

Lou Jing said: "Although the villain is a Langya person, he has also heard that the Marquis of Wuzhong ruled Jiaodong, punished the big clan, prospered businessmen, and repaired farming, which made Jiaodong avoid the rebellion of Zhutian. In recent years, Chen and Cao Erjun have succeeded the Marquis of Wuzhong, and Jiaodong has leapt from the poorest county in Qi to Linzi. ”

"I think that after many years of savings, there is no shortage of grain and straw in Jiaodong, so Chen and Cao Erjun will accept all the refugees from Linzi and Langya."

"But although Jiaodong is rich, after all, there is only one county, the soldiers are limited, even if tens of thousands of refugees are accepted, they will not be able to form an army to fight for a while, Cao Jun guards the cities, so that the Chu thieves are difficult to take a step beyond Langya, but I am afraid that Linzi is unable to resist Peng Yue, once it falls, the two armies of Qi and Chu form an alliance to attack Jiaodong, and the dragon surrounds Cao Jun in Zhucheng, Peng Yue drives into Weishui, then Jiaodong is in danger!"

This Lou Jing is worthy of reading some books, although he has been reduced to a cart puller, but he said in one sentence the problems that Jiaodong is facing now.

Unconsciously, Cao Shen had stopped his movements and wiped his greasy fingers: "What is your good plan?" ”

"It's simple."

Lou Jing said: "Divide Qi Chu! ”

"Although Qi Chu seems to be working together to attack Linzi at the moment, in fact, they all have ghosts."

"Xue County used to be the land of Chu, but now it is occupied by Qi, Langya is the territory of Qi, and now it is based on Chu, and now it can coexist, once Linzi falls, for the big city of 70,000 households, Qi and Chu will be in trouble!"

"Why don't the county lieutenants try to exacerbate the contradictions between Qi and Chu, so that they are on guard against each other and unable to attack Jiaodong together?"

After listening to this, Cao Shen muttered: "It's feasible. ”

and asked people to give Lou Jing more food:

"Look at your yellow face and thin muscles, I think it's been many days since you got oil and water, let's eat!"

Lou Jing was indeed hungry, so he was not polite at this time, picked up a whole chicken and gnawed it, biting hard every time.

He left his hometown, the days of fleeing were not good, the strategy in his stomach did not help the coolies in the cart at all, and fortunately he met his fellow villager Yu Guang today, and was able to meet Cao Shen in person, only hoping to change the current situation by giving advice - this Cao County Lieutenant still seems to be very humble and acceptable.

After Lou Jing feasted, Cao Shen toasted him with a glass of wine and asked again: "How do you want to separate Qi Chu, do you have a way?" ”

Lou Jing said: "Can the county lieutenant know that more than 100 years ago, Qin faked Han and Wei to attack Qi, and King Qi Wei made Zhang Zi respond to it?" ”

Zhangzi is Kuang Zhang, a famous general of Qi when King Qi Wei and King Xuan, who broke the Yan in the tenth month, defeated Chu in the sand, and defeated the Qin army.

Cao Shen is studious, although he didn't know it before entering Qidi, but after a few years, the matter of Qidi has been clear.

He thought for a while and said, "I've heard people say that at the beginning, Kuang Zhang and the Qin army camped opposite each other, and the envoys exchanged several times, and the Qi army changed its badge to ...... the Qin army."

Relying on the armor of the badge banner, Kuang Zhang successfully made the Qi army mix with the side of the Qin army, and suddenly attacked during the battle and won a big victory.

Cao Shen suddenly: "What do you mean ......?"

Lou Jing said: "However, Qi and Chu attacked Linzi, the soldiers were wrong, and their words were incomprehensible, and there would inevitably be conflicts in order to compete for property on weekdays." Why didn't the general send someone to pretend to be a badge of Qi soldiers to attack the Chu soldiers, and send someone to pretend to be a badge of the Chu soldiers to attack the Qi soldiers! ”

"Good idea." Cao Shen clapped his palms, if he did this, the two armies of Qi and Chu would lose trust, and even if they didn't fight, it would be difficult to cooperate.

"Lou Jing, you don't have to pull a cart to do hard work in the future, come to me, be a scribe and be a scribe, have a car for travel, and eat fish and meat."

Lou Jing was overjoyed and thanked Cao Shen, and at this moment, Changshi knocked on the door, it turned out to be a letter from Jiaodong that Cao Shen had been waiting for for a long time, and it finally arrived.

Unfolded it, Cao Shen couldn't help laughing.

"Divide Qi Chu and make it defeat from the dispersal contract, so that Qi Di will stand on the feet of the three parties, good Lou Jing, your strategy is exactly the same as Chen Ping thought!"

……

Over there, Cao Shen was a resourceful man, while Chen Ping, who was in Jimo, was frowning at a news from the north.

"What did you see with your own eyes?"

In September, seeing that the situation in Jiaodong was stable, Chen Ping asked Daojian to take a few ships north to resume navigation with Haidong, which had been interrupted for several months.

He also knew that the power of a county in Jiaodong might not be able to deal with the enemy Qi and Chu bandits, and remembered that there were still 3,000 Qin troops left in Haidong, stationed in Xi'an Ping (Dandong, Liaoning), Liekou, and Hancheng.

But on the last day of October, when the knife room returned in a hurry, Chen Ping learned that someone was ahead of him and took the lead......

"Junjun, it's true."

Daojian's expression was serious: "I was on the boat, and I saw from afar the two thousand garrisons of Haidong Hancheng and Liekou slowly heading north, and Xi'an Ping had also been guarded, and all the ships entering the port were detained, so I didn't dare to enter, so I only let the servants try to trap a team of soldiers who came out to patrol, and under interrogation, they said......"

"Say what?"

"They said, the eldest son, Fusu, is back!"
