Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 160 Unexpected visitor
As the night fell slowly, Zhao Wuming returned from the king's tent, opened the door of his own tent and couldn't help being stunned.An old man with a gray beard, wearing a brocade robe and holding a bamboo slip in his hand, sat cross-legged on the seat and was concentrating on reading.Maybe it was because I was too engrossed in reading, so I didn't notice that someone was coming.

A picture emerged in his mind, and Zhao Wuming understood it instantly, and felt a sense of intimacy in his heart.Walking towards the old man slowly, he saluted respectfully: "Wu Ming has seen Mr. Xing Ping".

"No name?"Listening to the familiar voice, Mr. Xingping looked at Zhao Wuming, with a smile on his lips: "Not bad, I have grown up, I haven't seen you in ten years, do you have complaints in your heart when you call me Mr. Xingping?"

"No, my nephew has seen my uncle."Zhao Wuming quickly explained, and then saluted Xingping Jun again.

Mr. Xingping pointed to a seat next to him: "Sit next to Uncle, and I will visit you in ten years' time. You won't blame Uncle, right?"

"I blamed it at first, but later I figured it out. After all, my uncle is worth 10 lives, and everything must not be taken lightly."Zhao Wuming explained to Xingping Jun feeling the scenes that emerged in his mind, as well as the inner journey of the original owner of this body during those ten years.

Xingping Jun looked at the mature Zhao Wuming.He caressed his hair with his own hands, because he was galloping all the way, and his hair was messy: "Mature, if Mr. Anyang hears what you said, he will surely smile at Jiuquan."

"My uncle praises me, but my nephew is ashamed."Zhao Wuming was embarrassed and modest.

Mr. Xingping looked at the scroll of bamboo slips, and pointed to the first few words on the bamboo slips: "This scroll of Pinghu strategy is what you wrote."

"I made my uncle laugh. This volume is said to be a strategy to suppress Hu. It is better to say that it is a collection of some news about Hu people that has been circulated in the market. It cannot be regarded as a word to suppress Hu."Zhao Wuming looked at the bamboo slips that Mr. Xingping was holding, and couldn't help but smile embarrassingly.This is all the alien information I collected in my spare time, and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false.It can only be engraved on the bamboo slips, and when they return to Seoul on that day, they will be handed over to Zhang Liang and others for selection.

Mr. Xingping smiled and opened the bamboo slips completely, pointing to one after another of the words: "The Donghu article, the Loufan article, the Linhu article, the Yiqu article, the Xiongnu article, the Ding Ling article, and the Yuezhi article. Although most of them are It’s a mere number, and it’s just a simple description of the geographical location, but it can open my uncle’s eyes. If it can be written in full, it will be immortal. It will calm down the alien races in the north and leave a guiding light for future generations.” .

"It's a pity that I don't know much about the alien races in the north while I'm here. It's a pity."Zhao Wuming looked at Mr. Xingping, thinking that when he came back from Seoul, he made up his mind to find out about Lou Fan and Lin Hu, but he didn't make much progress, so he couldn't help feeling a little suspicious.

Mr. Xingping shook his head: "If you can outline the general sphere of influence of the alien races in the north, you will have achieved great success for thousands of years. As for the later information, it will be filled in slowly, so why rush at this moment."

"Uncle, it stands to reason that Zhao Guo is adjacent to Lin Hu and Lou Fan, why can't I find out more detailed information about these two clans?"Thinking of this question, Zhao Wuming felt a little annoyed, and asked Mr. Xingping.

Mr. Xingping pointed to the Loufan and Linhu articles, and he did not know when there were densely packed handwriting in these two articles: "If we say that in today's world, who knows the Loufan and Linhu clans best, one of them is In the past, Anyang Jun was secondly uncle. Since you are so interested in these things, uncle naturally wants to help you. So sitting in your tent for a day, you can roughly finish engraving the information of these two clans. You will have time to watch carefully in the future. It’s just that some news has passed ten years, and there may be deviations. You can send someone to verify it so as not to mislead future generations.”

"It's no wonder that Uncle Cai focused on watching this scroll of bamboo slips just now, and it turned out that he was verifying the content engraved on it."Zhao Wuming suddenly realized, and a feeling of joy spread from the bottom of his heart.With the detailed information of these two clans, as long as they send people to verify, they can act on Lou Fan's opportunity, and Seoul may think that it is not too far away to go south.

Mr. Xingping put away the bamboo slips and handed them to Zhao Wuming, feeling a little emotional for a while: "In the past, the Hu people were powerful, Donghu bullied Yan, Lou Fan bullied Zhao, Lin Hu bullied Wei, and Yiqu bullied Qin. King Wen made great efforts to govern, and the state of Wei took the lead in becoming strong. King Wen of Wei took Wu Qi as his general, and divided his troops into three groups to attack Linhu. Three battles and three victories, Tuo Shangjun. At the same time, the Zhongshan Kingdom was ready to move. For a while, our Zhao Kingdom was in a precarious state. The former king ascended the throne and asked Wei Wenwang for help, and Wei Wenwang sent a large army to attack Zhongshan Kingdom. Zhongshan Kingdom was destroyed, and the army of Wei State did not move forward, causing Zhongshan State to become Wei State Territory. The former king realized that it was too late to lure wolves into the house. King Wen of Wei passed away, and King Wu of Wei succeeded to the throne, and he had the heart to swallow Zhao. At that time, our country was already surrounded by the state of Wei. Only then did Wei Guo's footsteps be delayed. However, at this time, Lou Fan and Lin Hu went south in a large scale, and they were in danger of destroying the country. Fortunately, Lord Anyang summoned the sons of the public clan to go to the country together to survive this calamity. The former king died, The restoration of the Zhongshan Kingdom. I did not expect that my country of Zhao is still so difficult. Time is fate, and there is nothing to do."

"I didn't expect Zhongshan to be restored, but it was the former king who secretly supported it."Zhao Wuming listened carefully and subconsciously sighed.

Lord Xingping nodded slowly: "The good medicine of the past, the poison of today, the changes in the current situation are elusive."

"Uncle's words are reasonable, but the current situation is indeed difficult to fathom."Zhao Wuming thought carefully about what Jun Xingping said just now, and nodded slowly in agreement.

Mr. Xing Ping seemed to have thought of something, and smiled mischievously: "People like to sigh when they are old, it seems that this problem cannot be changed."

"On the contrary, the juniors feel that the words of my uncle are good words. Everything should change according to the time and place, and we should not stick to the form."Zhao Wuming told Mr. Xingping what he felt.

Change with time and place, can't stick to the form?Mr. Xingping thought for a while, looked at Zhao Wuming for a while, and suddenly said: "You are interested in the throne."

"Dare to ask uncle, what is the situation in our Zhao country at this time."Zhao Wuming was taken aback for a moment, obviously confused by this sudden question.

Seeing Zhao Wuming's question, Mr. Xingping spit out two words: "Danger Yi".

"At this time, the world is already in a time of great conflict. Our country lost Handan first, and half of the country's treasury was gone. Today, we use Xindu treasury to buy Handan, and half of it is gone. Adding up the two, our country only has a little food, grass and supplies in Daijun. , I have no savings other than this. If there is an enemy attack at this time, what can I do?".Zhao Wuming analyzed it to Mr. Xingping.

Mr. Xingping listened to Zhao Wuming's analysis, and immediately replied: "The three armies went ahead without using food and grass. Now our country is empty, and there is almost no food in the east, west, and south borders. Once the enemy comes to attack, we can only stick to it, but there is no food to attack."

"Nowadays, the external situation is already in danger, but the place that my nephew thinks is the most dangerous is actually inside. At this time, Zhao Guo seems to be calm, but it is already on the verge of collapse. Once the king dies, the struggle for the throne will completely erupt , ranging from a turmoil to an imminent split.”Zhao Wuming explained slowly, and finally asked Xingping Jun: "Because of the army of the Gong Clan, Zhao Guo can still resist the external crisis a little bit. But once uncle, he supports his nephew to ascend the throne. Dare to ask Uncle, will the Gong Clan itself go up and down?" Do you want to stay out of trouble? Will the army of the clan be able to wipe out all the princes in one fell swoop and control the four directions with the force of a thunderbolt?"

Seeing Zhao Wuming's analysis was so thorough, Xingping Jun felt relieved: "It's rare that you can see so clearly. Although uncle can't do this. But even if you risk your life, you must be saved." worry".

"Thank you uncle for your great love. My nephew hopes that my uncle will return to the army according to the king's will. As for other things, Wuming has his own way to protect himself."Zhao Wuming proposed to Mr. Xingping.

Mr. Xingping showed admiring eyes: "Looking at you at this time, it seems to be seeing Mr. Anyang from the past. Since you proposed so, uncle will do as he said."

"Thank you uncle for fulfilling."Zhao Wuming breathed a sigh of relief, although it was the first time he saw Mr. Xingping, but his love for him was not mixed with any falsehood.The battle for the crown prince is too dangerous. With [-] personal guards in hand, he can only save his own life. If Mr. Xingping is involved, the loss outweighs the gain.Now that the world has become a world of great contention, even if he seizes the position of King Zhao, it will be a disaster rather than a blessing for him.When Bao Zhaoyu ascended the throne, the army marched south.It is the best strategy to unite Yan State soldiers to attack Donghu.

Seeing Zhao Wuming relieved, Mr. Xingping immediately smiled: "Wuming, why are you relieved?".

"In the battle between Wei and Qi, Wei will be defeated. Qi and Qin will join forces to attack Wei again. At that time, Wei's strength will be greatly damaged, and the land of the Three Jins may be in danger. At this time, as the king of Zhao, my nephew Isn’t it just asking for hardship, so this is a relief.”Zhao Wuming analyzed Jun Xingping again.

Hearing that Wei was defeated, Lord Xingping didn't believe it at all.After all, the state of Wei has been dominating for a hundred years, how could the most powerful state of Wei in his mind be easily defeated: "Why do you say that the state of Wei will surely be defeated?"

"In this alliance, the king of Wei sent all the soldiers in Hexi and Shangjun to Daliang. If Qin attacked Hexi and Shangjun in a surprise attack, Wei would be undefeated if he attacked from both sides."Zhao Wuming felt that this matter should be taken for granted, so his tone became a little louder.

Mr. Xing Ping shook his head slightly, apparently not agreeing with Zhao Wuming's analysis: "Qi and Wei both exert their full strength, so what if Hexi and Shangjun are empty? Slow recovery. But they did not dare to attack Hexi easily."

"Why?"On the contrary, Zhao Wuming was a little confused, completely unaware of what he said wrong.

Mr. Xingping slowly explained: "What if the Qin State attacked Hexi and Shangjun by surprise? Even if they seized the two places, so what? As long as the State of Wei defeats the State of Qi, the State of Qin will surely usher in the wrath of the King of Wei. At that time, Qin State The only way that the country is facing is to destroy the country. Therefore, when the situation of the battle is unclear, Qin has absolutely no possibility of sneak attack. On the other hand, although Qi has gradually become stronger in recent years, in the face of Wei's full blow, I'm afraid it's hard to resist."

"In this way, Uncle thinks that Wei Guo has a greater chance of winning this battle."Zhao Wuming listened to Mr. Xingping's analysis and asked him.

Lord Xingping nodded: "Uncle is not the only one who thinks so, but most people think so in all countries except Qi."
