Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 156 The Battle Between Sun and Zhang
On the open space, Zhao Yong looked forward excitedly, and Xue Zimo was also full of anticipation.Zhao Wuming and Pang Juan looked at Sun Buer and Zhang Meng with smiles.Although Wei Ang looked at the two people in front of him, it was obvious that he was thinking about something in his eyes.

In the middle, Zhang Meng and Sun Buer looked at each other, bowed to each other at the same time, and then put their hands on the hilt of their swords: "Zhang Meng's competition this time, you and I can't keep our hands, I wonder if it is possible."

"Just what I want".A surge of pride rose in Zhang Meng's heart: "Sun Buer offended."

As soon as the words fell, the two drew out their swords at the same time, and the two swords collided fiercely in an instant.Immediately afterwards, the clear and crisp sound of impact could be heard endlessly, making people dazzled.

Pang Juan saw that the two were inextricably fighting, so he couldn't help but look at Zhao Wuming: "Fourth son, do you think they are stronger or weaker?"

"Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and it is not easy to tell the winner if you want to tell the difference."Listening to the voice of inquiry, Zhao Wuming looked at Pang Juan and explained to him.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zhao Yong blinked his eyes, and then interjected: "Uncle, General. I think Zhang Meng is slightly better than Zhang Meng."

"But I feel that Sun Buer has a better chance of winning. You can see that his swordsmanship is slightly better than Zhang Mengyou."Xue Zimo also took the opportunity to intervene and express his views.

Listening to the two holding one end, Zhao Wuming and Pang Juan looked at each other and smiled: "General Wei Ang, who do you think is stronger, Sun Buer or Zhang Meng?"

"what?".Hearing someone asking, Wei Ang looked at Zhao Wuming and the others, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Pang Juan looked at Wei Ang in a daze, and reminded him: "Master Cai was asking you just now, who is more powerful, Sun Buer or Zhang Meng?"

"I'm ashamed, I was thinking about something just now, and I didn't watch it carefully. Please forgive me."Wei Ang bowed to Zhao Wuming, Pang Juan and others, with an embarrassed look on his face.

Zhao Wuming smiled, and just about to speak out, he heard Pang Juan had already said: "You think being worshiped by the king as a general is a happy event, why are you so worried instead?"

"General, you should know better than me whether you are happy or sad."Hearing that Pang Juan brought the topic to this, Wei Ang smiled wryly.

Pang Juan sighed dumbly for a long time: "If the king listened to this general and attacked Qin with all his strength, how could he be in trouble today?"

"It's a pity that I, the civil and military of the Great Wei Manchu Dynasty, how many people can recognize the crisis under the crown of the overlord."Wei Ang seemed to have thought of something, and his expression was a little depressed.

Zhao Wuming was puzzled, but this matter seemed to involve Wei Guo and state affairs, so he could only listen from the sidelines without interrupting.

Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo looked at each other, both showed a little curiosity, but they also knew that they didn't disturb each other.

Pang Juan looked at Zhao Wuming and smiled at him.There are some things that don’t need to be concealed, so I don’t shy away from them: “Your Majesty, you don’t know something. Your Majesty worships Wei Ang as the General to guard Hexi. That’s why the General is only here, so he seems a little absent-minded.”

"General? Guarding Hexi? Isn't this a good thing? Why are you so sad, General and General?"Zhao Wuming looked at the two of them and followed their words to ask.

Wei Ang looked to the west, his eyes full of worry: "I have discussed with the general, this time I am afraid that the Qin Congress will be unstable."

"Has Qin State ever been safe?".As soon as Zhao Wuming spoke, he seemed to feel something, and subconsciously asked the two of them: "I heard rumors in the market that Xihe and Shangjun are being mobilized on a large scale. Could it be...".

Seeing that Zhao Wuming suddenly became silent, Pang Juan explained directly: "Actually, there is nothing to hide from the young master. After all, this matter cannot be hidden. Your Majesty intends to fight against the Qi State with all his strength, and interrupt the King Qi's thoughts that should not be had, so he issued an order Let the military soldiers from Xihe and Shangjun come out in full force, and join the army here to attack together."

"Qi and Wei fight with all their strength, lest the fisherman of other countries will benefit, so they are worried."Wei Ang took Pang Juan's words and explained to Zhao Wuming.

Fishermen in other countries benefit?Zhao Wuming thought carefully, and looked at Wei Ang for a long while: "You are referring to the State of Qin."

"Who else is there besides Qin?"Pang Juan thought of Qin, and said again: "Qin is lingering on its last days, and it is not afraid. But we don't want Wei Yang to surrender to Qin, which will cause Qin to reform and become stronger. At this time, it is not the best policy to fight Qi with all your strength."

Zhao Wuming listened to Pang Juan's words, and asked him: "Even if Wei Guo doesn't do his best, will Qi Guo let Wei Guo go?".

"If one step is wrong, the opportunity is lost."Pang Juan was dumbfounded.

Zhao Wuming looked at Pang Juan, and a question that had been lingering in his heart for a long time emerged: "I have never been able to figure it out. At that time, King Wei led an army to attack the capital of Qin State and forced Qin State to move its capital back to Yong. But why did you, Wei, return to Yong at that time?" But the king moved his capital to Daliang? He gave up the territory of Qin State that was at his fingertips."

"Because of Qi State, Chu State and your Zhao State".When Pang Juan mentioned the word Zhao Guo, he did not shy away from revealing a wave of hatred.

Zhao Wuming was silent, and then there was silence, only the sound of the two swords colliding could be heard endlessly.

In the middle of the clearing, Sun Bu'er and Zhang Meng had retreated to their original positions at some point, looking at each other out of breath.

Zhang Meng put the bronze sword in his hand back into the scabbard: "Sun Buer, you and I have been fighting for a long time, and it's hard to tell if we continue to fight like this. It's better to stop fighting for now, and wait for a showdown in the future."

"It's better to obey than respect. Zhang Meng, I will definitely beat you next time."Sun Buer also retracted the bronze sword in his hand into the scabbard, and looked at Zhang Meng with a particularly firm gaze.

Zhang Meng laughed loudly, and a sense of arrogance also permeated: "Okay, I, Zhang Meng, are waiting for you, but you don't want to lose when the time comes."

"It's a deal."Sun Buer immediately made this agreement with Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng rested for a while, and walked towards Pang Juan: "General, the competition is over, now you can go back."

"Alright, I guess the king is about to arrive in Handan at this time, why don't we go back to Handan first?"Wei Ang looked at the panting Zhang Meng, turned to Pang Juan and suggested to him.

There is a saying that too many words will lead to mistakes, and it is really inappropriate to stay too much at this time.Pang Juan thought for a while, and bowed to Zhao Wuming: "The fourth son, the king is coming soon, I will take my leave first. On the day of the alliance, it will not be too late for you and me to see you again."

"General, please do what you want."Hearing that Pang Juan was going to meet the King of Wei, Zhao Wuming didn't hold back too much, and returned the salute to him.

Pang Juan and the others saw that Zhao Wuming was so straightforward, and then turned around with a smile and walked towards Handan.

Seeing them walking away, Sun Buer walked over and bowed to Zhao Wuming: "This time I failed to win the competition, please punish me, my lord."

"The two are tied, and you are not defeated, so why does Gu want to punish you?"Zhao Wuming asked Sun Buer back.

Sun Buer was taken aback for a moment, and then saluted again: "Thank you, my lord, for your innocence."

"uncle".Seeing Pang Juan and others go away, and Sun Buer pleading guilty, Zhao Yong couldn't help shouting softly.

Zhao Wuming followed the voice and looked at Zhao Yong: "What's the matter?".

"What impact will the decisive battle between Wei and Qi have on our country?".Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Wuming with anticipation in his eyes.

Zhao Wuming was taken aback for a moment, at this moment he realized that what he was facing was a prince and grandson.If it was a child from an ordinary family, how could they ask such a question: "If Wei wins, the nations will be terrified. If Qi wins, the Three Jins will be in danger."

"Three Jins are in danger? Uncle, after Qi wins, will Zhao, Wei, and Han be in danger?".Zhao Yong's incomprehensible expression made him even more puzzled, what happened to Zhao and Han for the defeat of Wei.

Zhao Wuming took this opportunity to analyze to Zhao Yong: "Once Qi wins, the power of Qi and the country will rise greatly. At the same time, Qin will definitely send troops to Hexi, and Qin will be strong when it gets Hexi and Shangjun. Yonger, what do you say What kind of situation will we face in Sanjin?"

"The loss of Handan in our country of Zhao has already seriously damaged our strength. If Wei loses to Qi first and then loses the fertile land in Hexi, the general trend is over. As for South Korea, although its strength has greatly increased after the reform, compared with Wei who has experienced a big defeat, its strength may be weaker. There will still be some shortcomings."Zhao Yong racked his brains and explained to Zhao Wuming one by one.

Zhao Wuming nodded in satisfaction, took Zhao Yong's words, and asked him: "If you were the king of Qi, what would you do next after defeating the state of Wei?"

"I don't know".After thinking about it, Zhao Yong felt that this question was beyond his ability, so he could only reply honestly.

Zhao Wuming looked at Xue Zimo, Xue Zimo also shook his head: "Uncle, I don't know either."

"Qi State is Yan State in the north, which is a place of bitter cold. In the south are Chu and Yue, separated by the Yangtze River. In addition, the people of these two countries are strong and the land is not fertile. It is useless to obtain it. On the other hand, the land of the Central Plains , except for small countries such as Lu, Song, Wei, etc., the only land that can satisfy Qi is the three Jins. Therefore, once Qi wins, it will challenge Wei again and completely kick Wei from the position of hegemony At that time, the eyes of the State of Qi will definitely be fixed on the Three Jins. I am afraid that it will be a disaster for the Three Jins. At that time, the Three Jins must have a country that can carry the banner that fell from the State of Wei. Face the State of Qi As well as the soon-to-be-rising Qin State, it will deter the Chu State, Yan State, Zhongshan State and those small countries that are about to move."Zhao Wuming slowly explained to Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo.

Xue Zimo felt a little confused, and looked at Zhao Wuming: "Uncle, Qin State is almost broken now, so how could it possibly have the strength to threaten Sanjin? And Yan State has always been friends with my Zhao State, so how could it be ready to move?"

"It's not clear in a few words between countries. Once the Three Jins lose their power to deter the Quartet, they will inevitably attract the prying eyes of other countries. This is an inevitable fact. Therefore, the banner of the Three Jins must have a The country can carry this flag on its shoulders, so that the Quartet dare not move. Only in this way can the country be defended and the people be safe."Zhao Wuming didn't care whether the two could understand or not, he just told them as much as possible.

Zhao Yong looked at Zhao Wuming half-understood, and assured him for a while: "Uncle, don't worry, if one day, Wei Guo falls. I, Zhao Guo, will definitely carry the banner of the three Jins and attack the four directions, so that the other countries will not dare to move. ".

"Yong'er and Uncle believe it. If that day comes, you will be able to do what you said today."Wasn't King Zhao Wuling the one who carried the banner of the Three Jins in that era?Thinking of this, Zhao Wuming suddenly smiled.At this time, with myself and the Han Kingdom dominating the north, perhaps all of this has already changed beyond recognition: "Sun Buer, let's go back to the camp."

"promise".Sun Buer felt that the rest's opinion was almost the same, and then bowed to accept the order.

Although Zhao Yong and Xue Zimo didn't understand why Zhao Wuming suddenly smiled, they didn't ask too much when they heard the word "return to camp".

Several people got on their horses, Zhao Wuming slapped the horse's back heavily, and galloped towards the camp.
