A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 188
Chen Zuo went all the way north, and soon came to Handan, the capital of Zhao, and met Zhao Hou.

"I heard that Chen Qing came from South Korea?" Zhao Hou asked.

"That's right, Marquis Han asks his foreign ministers to say hello to you." Chen Zuo said, and told Marquis Zhao about the title awarded by Marquis Han.

When Zhao Hou heard this, his heart moved slightly, but his face remained calm.

"Chen Qing has a heart."

Chen Zuo continued to say to Zhao Hou: "The foreign minister once heard something. There cannot be two tigers in a mountain, otherwise they will fight and the tiger who loses will be killed. Now in the three Jin Dynasties, just like this There are two tigers in a mountain, and only the other tiger is willing to surrender, can they live in peace."

"Marquis Zhao, your country of Zhao used to be the strongest tiger here, but now the country of Wei is taking your place, and the country of Wei is suppressing you and the country of Zhao from every aspect. The joint battle of the three Jins, you get the least loot , and Wei Guo has the most."

"Now Wei Guo has not taken action against Zhao Guo. Is it because Wei Guo is concerned about the friendship between the three Jins? No, it is because Zhao Guo is strong and prosperous. The power of Zhao State remains unchanged, and Wei State will annex Zhao State one day."

"Marquis Zhao, you are a wise man, why do you want to help the State of Wei become stronger? Isn't this detrimental to the State of Zhao?"

"Wei State is surrounded by Zhao State and South Korea on the north and south sides. Isn't Wei State worried about being attacked by South Korea and Zhao State?"

"Now that you are helping Wei to become stronger, it's like feeding a tiger. The tiger's strength is getting stronger and stronger. This is raising a tiger for trouble!"

Zhao Hou was already very dissatisfied with Wei Guo's suppression of Zhao State, and immediately stated that he would no longer form an alliance with Wei State, but secretly formed an alliance with Qi State and South Korea.

The news of Zhao Guo's secret alliance with Qi was secretly told by South Korea to Marquis Wei.When Marquis Wei heard about this, his face was a little ugly, but he didn't have an attack.

Although the state of Wei looked very powerful at this time, and had defeated the three countries of Qin, Chu, and Qi in a row, the state of Wei was not invincible. If all countries were offended and public anger was committed, the state of Wei would be in danger.

"I heard that the current Marquis Zhao is the younger brother of the former Marquis Zhao, because when the former Marquis Zhao died, his son was young, so let the brother of the former Marquis Zhao take the throne, and wait until the son of Marquis Zhao grows up to succeed him as the king. "Wei Hou asked Zhai Huang.

Zhai Huang said: "Your Majesty, it is true. The family of the State of Zhao originated from the Yin family, and the surname was Zhao. Later, because of his meritorious service, he was named a minister by King Xuan and entered the State of Jin during the time of King You. Therefore, there is a custom of brother-in-law .”

"I heard that Zhao Hou's son, Zhao Zhang, was not made the crown prince, but the son of the previous Zhao Hou was made the prince. This is the way to bring disaster. After Zhao Hou's death, the Zhao country will definitely be in chaos." Wei Hou said .

"Ever since Zhao Hou established his capital in Zhongmou, he has always wanted to go south to the Central Plains. The last time he was stopped by the establishment of Ye City in Zhangshui alone, but Zhao Hou has never given up. Now that Zhao Hou and Qi are secretly uniting, we should prepare early. Gu is going to send someone to contact Zhao Zhang, what do you think?"

Di Huang said: "If Your Majesty uses this strategy, Zhao Guo will fall into civil strife. It's just that the alliance of the Three Jins has been destroyed."

"Marquis Zhao has secretly joined forces with Qi. This strategy is just a precautionary measure. If Marquis Zhao is still willing to form an alliance with Guo Wei, this strategy will not work. If Marquis Zhao is unwilling, then this is a backhand against Zhao. "Wei Hou said.

In the dark dusk, Diqiu, the capital of the Wei Kingdom.

It has been 200 years since Wei State moved its capital here, and Wei State, which has been established for more than [-] years, has gradually declined.However, Wei Guo is doing well now because of his friendship with Wei Guo.

On the other side bordering Wei State is the State of Song, because Chaoge, the ancient capital of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, is located in the territory of the State of Wei. Historically, the officials of the State of Song went to the State of Wei many times to mourn.The exchanges between the two countries were frequent, and the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Song were mostly related by marriage.

At this time, a turmoil broke out in the Weiguo office.The former Duke of Wei passed away while he was on a tour, and the crown prince was not around. The younger brother of Duke Wei, Wei Li, took the opportunity to ascend the throne and inherit the throne of the country, and then ordered that the crown prince Hui be beheaded.

After Prince Hui got the news, he quickly led his subjects and fled to Song State.Prince Hui's mother is the legitimate daughter of the Song State, and Song Gong is his uncle today. As long as he escapes to the Song State, he can use the power of the Song State to restore the country.

After Wei Gongli learned that the prince had fled to Song State, he immediately rectified his troops and sent envoys to Song State to ask Song State to hand over Prince Hui.

When Duke Song learned that his nephew had been deprived of the throne, he was furious and wanted to send troops to help his nephew restore the country.It's just that before he could gather the army, Wei Gongli had already led the army to come, and asked Song Gong to send Prince Hui, otherwise he would attack Song State.

Being blocked and threatened at the door of the house, Song Gong was furious. You have an army in Wei, but don't I have an army in Song?Immediately ordered the army of the whole country to gather and fight against the guards.

This move is in the hands of Zhongwei Gongli. Wei Guo has been fighting with Wei Guo for these years. Although the national army is not as good as Wei Guo's military soldiers, it is still considered an elite soldier.And what about Song State?Since being defeated by the state of Chu last time, and surrendered to the state of Huai, under the protection of the state of Huai, the state of Song has been stable for decades.

Song's army has not experienced a war for decades, how can it be the opponent of Wei?
As a result, the two sides fought a big battle, Song was defeated, Song Gong fled back to Shangqiu in embarrassment, and his soldiers suffered heavy losses.And Wei Gongli saw that Song Guo was so vulnerable.Immediately led the army to continue to attack the State of Song, intending to force the State of Song to hand over Prince Hui and occupy the territory of the State of Song at the same time.

When Duke Song saw the army of the Wei State besieging the city, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly sent envoys to ask for help from the State of Huai.

At the same time, in the army of the Wei State, Wei Gongli was full of ambition, and said with great pride: "This Song State is a survivor of the Yin and Shang Dynasties. Back then, Duke Wen was kind and left him a way of life, which allowed him to enjoy the rich land. People are so weak, how can they occupy these lands, as long as our Wei State annexes the Song State, then Wei State will not need to look at the face of the Three Jins."

"Your Majesty, the State of Song is weak, but the State of Song is a vassal of the State of Huai. This time our army is attacking Song, and the State of Huai will definitely come to help. The State of Huai is the elite of the world. How can our army stop it? If it is good, then accept it!" Mingwei Guoqing suggested.

"No, if the troops are withdrawn, I'm afraid Song State will use Crown Prince Hui to intervene in our Wei State's affairs!" Several officials objected.

"The Huai State is a powerful country in the world, but the Wei State is not bad. Why don't you invite the three Jins to attack the Song Dynasty? I heard that the Qi State is also greedy for the land of the Song State. Why not invite the Qi State? When the time comes, the five of us Divide Song Kingdom equally!"

"With the soldiers of Wei and Han Zhaoqi, if the Huai country dares to come, we must let them know how powerful our country is!" Wei Li quickly made a decision.
