Take the city to the Warring States

Chapter 217 Visiting Xue Qian ([-])

Seeing Xue Qian's arrogance and expression, Zhao Wuming smiled at him, and then asked, "I don't know if Brother Xue thinks, who is better than Zhao Fan and Zhao Yu?".

"Zhao Fan is good at military affairs. He has been fighting in the north all year round. Even the king of Yan has to praise him as a real general. But Zhao Yu is good at scheming. He controls Anyang with his backhand and collects 20 soldiers in Anyang and Anyang's wealth. He also uses money and silk Opened the way and made a great contribution to the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, and Shen Tuxiu's refuge made his power reach its peak. Even if the former eunuch Ling had defected to Zhao Fan, sometimes he had to rely on Zhao Xuan's breath to survive. As for who is better between the two, It’s really hard to tell the difference between top and bottom.”Although Xue Qian didn't know why Zhao Wuming suddenly asked this question, he still thought about it and replied to him.

Seeing Xue Qian finished speaking, Zhao Wuming asked him again: "Who do you think is more dangerous between today's situation and the situation that the previous king faced when he died?".

"More dangerous?"Xue Qian was taken aback, savored Zhao Wuming's question carefully, and replied to him after a long while: "If it is dangerous, it should be the day when the late king died. After all, Zhao Wei held 20 Anyang soldiers. Shen Tuxiu, the commander of the Forbidden Army, echoed from a distance. If Wuming hadn't used a trick to let Sun Buer bring his personal guards under house arrest, and then mobilize the Forbidden Army with a tiger talisman, the outcome may be unpredictable."

"Don't forget that what really made Zhao Yu fail that day was not that we seized the tiger amulet to mobilize the forbidden army, but the fire that the previous eunuch ordered to set off."Zhao Wuming added to Xue Qian.

Xue Qian nodded slightly. Although he didn't like Zhang Gao, no matter what purpose Zhang Gao had at that time, at least he helped them a lot: "It is true. If 20 Anyang soldiers have enough food and grass to besiege Handan, they will win Negatives are really unpredictable."

"So until the last moment, you must not give up on yourself. Maybe there will be unexpected reinforcements like Zhang Gao at that time."Zhao Wuming explained to Xue Qian with a pun.

Xue Qian was a little puzzled, and asked Zhao Wuming: "Unexpected reinforcements? Could there be another reinforcement? Looking at the world, how could there be any?"

"Before the food and grass of the 20 Anyang soldiers were burnt to ashes that day, who would know the change?"Zhao Wuming asked Xue Qian back.

Xue Qian shook his head and disapproved: "Zhang Gao does have a reason for doing this. After all, if Zhao Yu ascends the throne, his threat will be far greater than the king's threat to Zhao Fan. Therefore, Zhang Gao's burning of food and grass is of great importance to them. Italy".

"These are things that can only be thought of after the fact. How do you know if it is beneficial to others at this time? It is just a guess when talking about reinforcements. No one knows what will happen until the last moment. ".Zhao Wuming replied to Xue Qian.

Hearing the word "guess", Xue Qian was not entangled anymore, but instead remembered what happened when Zhao Zhong died: "Zhao Yu secretly dispatched 20 Anyang soldiers to the outside of Handan City, and joined hands with the commander of the Imperial Army, Shen Tuxiu, in the palace. .As a result, Shen Tu rested and executed, and the food and grass of 20 Anyang soldiers were reduced to ashes. The Forbidden Army and the Handan Defenders fought against the Anyang soldiers on the city wall. All the Anyang soldiers died in battle. How many people were killed. At this time, Zhao Fan is about to go south, no matter how bad the king is, there are more than [-] soldiers, which is many times better than before."

"Brother Xue can think this way, it is of course the best. At the beginning, the elder brother didn't have soldiers and horses in his hands, and he was able to survive the internal and external troubles. What's more, he had soldiers and no internal troubles in his hands at this time, but he was the only one who turned over. Not to the sky."Zhao Wuming echoed Xue Qian's words.

Xue Qian seemed to have thought of something, so he could only sigh: "Anyway, it's just self-consolation."

"It's not a good thing to be able to comfort yourself and heal your wounds with peace of mind."Zhao Wuming asked Xue Qian back.

Just as Xue Qian wanted to speak, he heard footsteps, and immediately stopped talking.

Xue Zimo walked into the room and just wanted to salute Xue Qian, but saw Zhao Wuming, and a smile appeared on his face: "I have seen my father, but I didn't expect my uncle to be there."

"Why didn't you go to the prince's mansion today and accompany the prince to the school?".Seeing that it was his son who came in, Xue Qian questioned him suspiciously.

Xue Zimo heard the question, and quickly replied respectfully to Xue Qian: "Father may not know, the child will get up early in the morning and go to the Prince's Mansion. However, when he just arrived at the Prince's Mansion, the eunuch ordered Huang Hao to come to deliver the king's oral order, saying that the father is responsible Seriously injured, but the state affairs are busy, so I let the child take the place of the king for a day, and go back to the house to accompany my father."

"I see".Hearing these words, Xue Qian suddenly felt for some reason that the relationship between him and Zhao Yu seemed to be slowly becoming estranged since Zhao Yu ascended the throne.If this matter happened in the past, he would have come to visit in a hurry like Zhao Wuming, but now he is busy with state affairs.

Seeing that Xue Qian looked a little lonely, Xue Zimo cautiously called out to him: "Father".

"Since it's a day off, you can play by yourself, and want to rest for the father."Xue Qian reacted when he heard Xue Zimo's voice, and gave him instructions.

Xue Zimo glanced at Zhao Wuming, then looked at Xue Qian again: "Resign, my boy."

Seeing Xue Zimo walking out, Zhao Wuming didn't know why his heart suddenly moved, his lips moved and he stopped speaking.

Xue Qian happened to see Zhao Wuming hesitating to speak, and asked Zhao Wuming: "Wu Ming has something to say, so I can't help but speak out."

"Yong'er is naughty, Zimo is well-behaved. Both of them should have a wonderful life. You sent him to the Prince's Mansion and stayed with Yonger. This may be a good thing for Zimo's future career, but I think It might be unfair to him."Seeing Xue Qian asking, Zhao Wuming didn't hide anything from him.

Listening to Zhao Wuming's words, Xue Qian was silent for a while, obviously thinking about Zhao Wuming's words: "Unfair?".

"Just like ordinary children, they visit famous teachers to learn literary and martial arts. Why should Zimo and Yong'er be bound together forcibly."Zhao Wuming replied to Xue Qian.

Xue Qian looked at Zhao Wuming, thought for a moment and shook his head slightly to explain to Zhao Wuming: "The prince of my Zhao country naturally has the best famous teacher in Zhao country, since he can study in this way, why endure the pain of parting?"

"It was me who made a slip of the tongue just now, please don't blame Brother Xue."Seeing what Xue Qian said, Zhao Wuming put away the thought just now.

Seeing Zhao Wuming apologize, Xue Qian showed a smile: "Wuming is a word of concern, how can a father blame him?"

"Brother Xue is injured and needs to recuperate. I don't want to disturb you too much. After Brother Xue's wound heals, you and I can drink for a day to celebrate."Zhao Wuming proposed to Xue Qian, and the meaning of leaving at the same time was self-evident.

Xue Qian immediately agreed without thinking: "It is possible".

"Farewell".Zhao Wuming bowed, turned around and walked out of the mansion.

Xue Qian looked at Zhao Wuming's back, thought of what he said just now, and gradually fell into deep thought.
