Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 274 Big Conflict

Suggestions were put forward, but the actual specific measures were refined by Si Qinmi and others, preparing to give Zhao Guo a big surprise.

Zhao Guo was aware of the alliance between Jing Guo and Xia Guo, but did not pay attention to it. The current judgment is that both sides are also involved, and it will cause some obstacles for Zhao Guo.

No one who was not involved could have imagined that Jing Guo was so crazy. Xia Guo's reaction was normal, and he teamed up with Jing Guo to create some obstacles for Zhao Guo.

They worked hard to improve their own strength and stationed their army in Fangyu, Shou'an. Because of the unification of Jizhou, there was only one enemy, Zhao State, and because of the land equalization policy, the people's hearts and minds surrendered, so the rebellion was wiped out without making any waves.

Therefore, Xia State placed all Tiance troops on Shou'an Road, which was not a special piece of information for Zhao State.

The same is true for Jingguo. Knowing that Zhengguo may betray, it is also understandable to place heavy troops on the border between Zhaoguo, Zhengguo and Jingguo.

It's not that I didn't expect it, maybe the soldiers were confused until they ordered the attack. Because the confidentiality measures were good, no one thought that they could fight.

It was also because they did not expect that Jing Guo and Xia Guo would attack Zhao Guo desperately, and Zhao Guo was still immersed in cutting flesh.

The cold has gone and spring has come, but for Zhao Guo, there is no feeling of spring at all because of the cruelty of political struggle.

Drastic reforms, from heated debates in the court to temper tantrums in the army, led to chaos.

King Zhao showed his iron fist, because he really didn't want to lose. If the queen mother lost, the army and the land would also lose. If he loses this time, he may also lose the throne.

If the strong man's arm-breaking this time has no effect, then the State of Zhao will really be swept into the garbage heap. Therefore, King Zhao showed the tenacity that a monarch should have. No matter what others said or said, he was determined to reform the military system, but he would not shake.

Naturally, the ones under greatest pressure were the traditional military families, the Meng Yu family. Their positions had been adjusted. King Zhao and Wu Chengpei were deliberately suppressing the influence of the two families, stripping them of the army and replacing them with more people from other families.

Yu Chuizhang and Meng Weifeng gathered together again to discuss in the attic of the Yu family, because what they wanted to discuss was the shameful crime of treason.

"What an old man, Ren Xusheng, for tricking us like this." Meng Weifeng said angrily, realizing that he had been deceived.

"He surrendered himself, but he coaxed us to fight with King Zhao and Wu Chengpei here." Yu Chuizhang also had a face filled with resentment.

The reason why aristocratic families are so powerful is because they are so intertwined that if the monarch cannot control them, there will be a risk of overthrowing them, but that is obviously not the case now.

The Yu family and the Meng family were clearly and accurately separated. A single aristocratic family, two aristocratic families, or even a group of aristocratic families and the royal family were unable to fight against them.

"His Ren family retained his official position, which made both of us suffer." Meng Weifeng was dissatisfied. If he hadn't been careless, overly cautious, and taken some drastic actions at that time, he would not have been gradually stripped of the military system now.

"Now they are waiting for us to rebel, so they will have a better reason to kill us." Meng Weifeng said angrily that the two families were forced into a corner, military positions were transferred, and members of the family were not promoted.

Suppressing them like this is not just forcing the two families to react and killing the chicken to scare the monkeys. If they don't take action now, the small aristocratic family clinging to them will also leave them.

The aristocratic family is realistic. An alliance is formed when there is a combination of interests. Without an alliance of interests, there is nothing to settle. If the Meng and Yu families were defeated, who would be the head of the aristocratic family?

"But we have to fight back. If we don't fight back, we will die silently." Meng Weifeng could realize the seriousness of the problem. No one knows whether King Zhao is suppressing them now, but it will be unwarranted in the future.

They can only make final plans. King Zhao and Wu Chengpei want to ignore people. Do you think they have no temper?

"This is also the reason why I invited Master Meng. If we let it go like this, we will both die anyway, and our identity cannot escape from the Zhao Kingdom at all. We have only one choice, and that is to clean up the sycophants around His Majesty."

We discussed that we should rebel and make a big one. It would be best if we succeeded. It would be better if we didn't succeed than to die because we didn't resist and felt aggrieved.

"I have had this intention for a long time. The head of the Yu family has this intention and is willing to do his best." The dog was so anxious that he jumped over the wall with the knife to his neck. These two families also understood that they were going to be solved in this reform of the military system. Conflict and victimhood.

"This is also a certificate of declaration for the heir to surrender to Xia. We have not made any achievements, so we will not be of any help to the Xia Kingdom. If we can make great contributions, it will be more convenient for the heirs to go to the Xia Kingdom."

Yu Chuizhang expressed his helplessness in reality, not only because he was a trapped beast still fighting, but also to leave a way out for himself.

"Ah? Head of the Yu family, did I hear you right? It's not Jingguo but Xiaguo?" Meng Weifeng was slightly stunned. Xiaguo, a noble family, couldn't match it no matter how he looked at it. He decided to retreat to Xiaguo. What was he thinking?

"It's the Xia Kingdom. My identity means I can't go there, but my children want them to go. What do you think about us going to the Jingguo Kingdom?"

Yu Chuizhang gave Meng Weifeng a cup of tea. He had only recently figured it out, and now he wanted to share it with Meng Weifeng in order to increase his winning rate.

"Our vitality is severely damaged, but it is of some value. King Jing will not treat our family too badly, but he will not take it too seriously. There are local aristocratic families in Jing State. We are just outsiders with no foundation, like duckweeds."

Yu Chuizhang said somewhat sadly that after leaving the land that nourished the family, only the talented family was left, and the talent was not found, which also meant that the family was in ruins.

Going to Jingguo means that you will be ostracized by the Jingguo family. You are the ignition of a wealthy family in Zhao. If you come to Jingguo, it will be good if you can live. Do you want to seek an official position? Become a high official?

"I see, I understand." As soon as Yu Chuizhang said, Meng Weifeng suddenly realized.

Tou Jingguo has many concerns. In contrast, the two families with only talented people are more suitable for the Xia Kingdom. After all, the Xia Kingdom treats talents regardless of their family background. Where is the best place to retain the fire? Anyway, in the Xia Kingdom, the two families have no excess land.

"Jingguo's current goal is to defend Zhengguo, and Xiaguo's current goal is to defend Zhaoguo. The more damage we cause to Zhaoguo, the greater our contribution to Xiaguo. Only our descendants from Zhao can get Xiaguo. The importance of the country.”

Yu Chuizhang added that although they are in contact with Jing State the most now, on the surface, Jing State's strategic target is not Zhao State, but Zheng State, so the retreat should be in Xia State.

"But the Xia State is about to be destroyed by the Zhao State. Isn't the reason why the Zhao State is reforming its military system training to deal with the Xia State?"

Meng Weifeng was worried that Xia State's new platform would not last long. If it was destroyed by Zhao State, wouldn't it be in vain?

"Master Meng thinks that if Zhao State defeats Xia State, will our family be safe in Jing State?"

Yu Chuizhang said even more harshly, it's hard to say that the families at the bottom are hard to say, but the families at the top can't climb to the position of head of the family without any wisdom. "I'm afraid it won't be possible. When Zhao Guo really becomes powerful, Jing Guo and Zheng Guo will not be able to compete with Zhao Guo in terms of development. Moreover, Zhao Guo can defeat Xia Guo, which means that it can also defeat Zheng Jing."

Meng Weifeng analyzed that there is no need to worry. Unless you hide your name, if you get there, if the Zhao State unifies the world, it will all belong to the Zhao State, and there will be no use escaping anywhere.

"So, I think it's better to let the younger generation of the family go to the Xia Kingdom to develop, and we will get the certificate of investment here. If it succeeds, everything will be fine. If it doesn't succeed, at least leave a thought and pave the way for the heirs. Master Meng, Are you willing to walk with me and find a companion on the road to hell?"

Yu Chuizhang showed the unique spirit of the aristocratic family. They may be half-hearted for the country, but for the sake of the family, the word "sacrifice" should be kept in mind.

"The royal family and the Ren family treat us like this, so don't blame us for being rude. We, the Yu and Meng families, have been loyal for generations, and I am not convinced that we have received such a result."

Yu Chuizhang arranged everything, and the dissatisfied Meng Weifeng, who had been marginalized for a long time, no longer had any worries and responded.

"Our chances of success are slim. We might as well make Zhao Guo bleed more, reduce his strength, and delay Zhao Guo's integration. This will make greater contributions to Xia Guo."

Meng Weifeng said viciously that the number of people they can control is relatively small, but that doesn't mean the trouble they can cause is small.

"Brother Meng, do you mean the net is broken?" Yu Chuizhang was puzzled, thinking that Meng Weifeng was afraid.

"A fish is dead and a net is broken? It is to die without a life. Since the heirs have been transferred, I also want that idiot King Zhao to understand what will happen if he offends our family. War horses, armor, and later reserves..."

Listing items of military supplies, Meng Weifeng wished he could burn them all with a fire.

"This is also a good idea, so Master Meng has given up hope of living?" Yu Chuizhang felt that he still underestimated Meng Weifeng's courage.

"Although I have some estrangement from Xia Guo, I also know that Xia Guo is a benevolent and righteous monarch, and will not throw people aside just because their value has been exhausted. We have tried our best to delay Xia Guo and harm Zhao Guo. King Xia will not forget us. of credit.”

"To tell you the truth, people from the Xia State have also contacted me and given me help. They just hope that we can delay the Zhao State and cause great harm to the Zhao State. The Meng family master has this intention."

Yu Chuizhang said frankly that many prisoners close to the Yu family were sent back and became private soldiers, now waiting to cause trouble to Zhao.

"What a coincidence, I also received it. I was just hesitant about whether I should surrender to the Xia Kingdom. After hearing the analysis of the Yu family today, I suddenly understood. This world belongs to either the Xia Kingdom or the Zhao Kingdom. Zhao is unjust to us, so why should we? Foolish loyalty.”

"so……"

"The Meng and Yu families are desperate." Wu Chengpei sent the information to King Zhao with a stern look on his face. According to the intelligence, the Yu and Meng families were already beasts that were about to be caught. They were now making a final breakthrough, even though they knew it would be useless.

"Then close the door and beat the dog!" After reading the intelligence, the two families made frequent moves, including contacting the army and transferring families. King Zhao planned one by one to teach Yu and Meng a lesson.

"Pay more attention, don't be delayed by the details." Xuannv was also there. She had a bad feeling. It was at a critical period of Zhao's military reform. The generals who were originally from aristocratic families were replaced with new ones that were more popular The general in control, she came to check for any flaws.

After receiving the letter handed over by King Zhao, Xuannv was upset. For a monk of her level, this was a hint and warning, reminding her that the road ahead was dangerous. If she was not careful, her future would be ruined, the five qi would disappear, and the three Flowers are cut.

Xuannv had felt this way before, during the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You. At that time, she was not yet a powerful deity-level person who could rule one side, but with her talent in divination, she felt it in advance and carefully investigated to bring in reinforcements for the Yellow Emperor. She succeeded. Advanced.

There was no immediate end, so she no longer felt this way, but ancient memories emerged, and she seemed to have returned to the battle between Huang Di and Chi You.

It's just that she seems to have reached Chi You's position, supporting the scattered tribes, and fighting against Huang Di, who advocated the unification of the tribes. She somewhat understood the mood of the opponent at that time.

So now she is looking for loopholes. Seeing that the Yu and Meng families are sending away their children, contacting Xia and Jingguo, receiving some things from Xia and Jingguo, and contacting the generals, she understands the two families' intentions. .

"How are you prepared?" Xuannv looked at King Zhao and Wu Chengpei, wondering how to solve this problem.

"The trusted troops have been mobilized. As soon as they take action, we will solidify the evidence of their rebellion and destroy them." Wu Chengpei reported that because of King Zhao's respect for Xuannv, he did not dare to neglect it. Knowing that the other party was going to rebel, what arrangements were made? alright.

"Because they are from aristocratic families, in order not to cause panic among other aristocratic families, they cannot touch the army directly under them. If they rebel, it will be a good time to clean up their faction and find out all their collusion in the army."

King Zhao was playing a long-term game to catch the big fish. He deliberately gave the Meng Yu family hope of rebellion, allowing the two families to attract more restless factors, those families whose interests were harmed, and then took it all in one pot, lest they become like stones. The siltation accumulated in Zhao Guo's body and made him feel uncomfortable.

"The idea is good, but we must control it, don't let them expand the matter, and control the development of the situation."

Xuannv studied the information, trying to find some clues about the same thing, heirs, Xia Kingdom, liaison, and army.

Just like Si Qin Mi's ability to see things at a glance, Xuan Nu seemed to have thought of something. She opened her mouth lightly and said with some awareness.

"The descendants of the Meng Yu family are not going to be transferred to the Xia Kingdom, right, to the Xia Kingdom."

Xuannv seemed to understand something and showed a solemn expression. She had already guessed the plans of Meng Yu and his family.

"Shouldn't they be sent to Jingguo? The route is all to Jingguo, so what does it matter if they are sent to Xiaguo? It can't change their situation of being trapped and struggling. Xiaguo in Jingguo can't protect itself, so why not come to Zhaoguo to help them? "

King Zhao disapproved. This move of leaving a way out showed that the two families had shown their cowardice and were ready to fight. It also showed that Jingguo and Xiaguo did not provide much help.

"But they can help the Xia State. Maybe their goal is not us, but the entire Zhao State. Their goal is not to seize power, but to maximize the loss of Zhao State's strength. You should quickly go and see the officials related to the armament. Are there any that are similar to these two families?”

Xuannv realized something and quickly ordered, and King Zhao suddenly woke up from a dream.
