————The following text——

After a moment, Master Zhao led Meng Zhong and Le Yi to the outside of the camp in person to welcome Tian Li and Gongsun Cai.

It has to be said that with the current prestige of Zhao Zhufu in Zhao State and in the Central Plains, he was able to come out to greet him in person, which really gave enough face to Tian Li and Gongsun Cai. Even Tian Li and Gongsun Cai thought so in their hearts.

After they met and saluted each other, Zhao's father invited Tian Li and Gongsun Cai to his tent, and ordered the soldiers in the army to prepare wine and food.

Since it was in the army, the dishes were naturally not rich, Zhao Zhufu learned from the Hu people and set up a bronze tripod in the tent, put water in the cauldron, put a deer offered by Zhao's servant a few days ago, chatting while using a small copper stove to burn wine, using dried meat, dried fruit and other dry goods, while waiting for the venison to be cooked.

"The camp is simple and the hospitality is not good. Please don't be surprised." After inviting Tian Li and Gongsun and Zuo to sit down, Zhao Zhufu said with a smile.

"Where are there." Tian Wei and Gongsun Cai said, while curiously looking at Meng Zhong and Le Yi who were sitting in Zhao Zhufu's father. Suddenly, the two young men who were "accompanying the seat" were two young men who were about fifteen or sixteen years old. They thought at least they would have to be the ones like Prince Zhao Zhang and Tian Buyue.

To be honest, this message is not good, because it means that Zhao Zhufu doesn't really care about the purpose of the two of them coming, and the courtesy is just out of respect for them.

"I heard that Mr. Tian is in Xueyi to manage Mr. Xue's family business..."

Taking advantage of the lack of wine and meat cooking, Zhao Zhufu took the lead in opening up the conversation.

Tian Lu smiled and said, "I didn't expect that my old reputation would be able to reach Zhao Master Zhao's father's ears..."

"Mr. Tian said this." Master Zhao smiled and said, "In today's world, no one knows that Mr. Tian is the confidant of Mr. Guo. Even Mr. Xue (Tian Wen) treats Mr. Xue as an elder.... Mr. Xue has made great contributions to his prestige today."

"Zhao Master's Father's words are so serious." Tian Yi quickly said modestly: "These are all "Wei Chu", "Xiahou Zhang", "Feng Xuān", "Gongsun Hong" and others. These young heroes are the right-hand men of Xue Gong now. As for the old man, half of the people who have been buried in the soil, they are not worthy of Zhao Master's Father's praise."

The people he mentioned were "Wei Chu", "Xiahou Zhang", "Feng Xi", "Gongsun Hong" and other people, all of whom were the disciples under Xue Gongtian Wen's seat. It is said that Tian Wen once raised three thousand disciples in Xue. As long as you are a "scholar" with a skill, you can join him and eat and live in Tian Wen's mansion, no matter how long you stay.

I have to say that this standard is very low.

You should know that the "scholars" here are not "scholars" like Meng Zhong, nor are they "Confucian scholars". "Taoist scholars" and "bachelors" who have mastered at least one knowledge are mostly "scholars" that actually cannot stand scrutiny.

For example, there was a farmer who didn't want to farm anymore and bought a sharp sword himself and learned a few sword skills. He could also run to Tian Wen's mansion to call himself "youshi" and "school hero" and make a living. In short, as long as he had a skill.

Therefore, only Xue Gongtian Wen had "chicken and dog thieves" under his command. To put it bluntly, those who can learn to crow and those who are good at stealing - not to mention, thanks to these two "chicken and dog thieves" who were able to escape from Qin to Qi.

Even the robbers who crowed and thieves could become Tian Wen's disciples. You can imagine how low the standard of this "scholar" is. This also led to many people claiming to be scholars and going to Tian Wen's mansion to cheat food and drink, so that Tian Wen had ten thousand households and could not support thousands of servants, and he had to make up for it by collecting "interest money (usual loans)" in the town.

And "Wei Chu", "Xiahou Zhang", "Feng Xi", "Gongsun Hong" and others, namely the best among the three thousand diners under Tian Wen's school, have real talents and knowledge.

After chatting for a while, the wine was boiling first. At this time, the father of Zhao, Tian Li and Gongsun Cai and other three talked about Xue Yi while drinking the hot wine.

According to Tian Wei, Xue Yi had been captured by the Song army at this time.

This surprised Meng Zhong, who was listening quietly, and was surprised at the speed of his Song State capturing Xue Yi.

"Does Master Zhao not know about it?"

Seeing the look of surprise on Zhao's father's face, Tian Wei said with a faint deep meaning: "This time, the Song Dynasty sent troops to Xueyi, Song Wangyan personally led the army. Jing Zhi, Dai Busheng, Dai Yingzhi and other Simas led their troops to advance rapidly..."

Hearing this, Master Zhao nodded secretly: As expected, Wang Yan of Song was still reliable. To attack Qi, he only looked at the army of Zhao and Song. As for Yan State... he really lacked some confidence.

"Did Song Wangyan personally take charge of the army and supervise the battle?"

Pretending to not hear the faint sarcastic meaning of Tian Wei's words, Zhao Zhufu changed the subject and asked, "What should I do in the country of Song?"

『How do I know?』

Tian Wei thought for a while and said unhappily: "It is said that Song Yan has been rumored to be located in the crown prince Dai Wu, and ordered Hui'an and Xue Juzhou to assist him..."

Hearing this, not only Zhao Zhufu was surprised, but even Meng Zhong felt a little incredible.

Crown Prince Dai Wu, Hui Ang, Xue Juzhou, and Meng Zhong are all familiar with these three men.

Of course, the only ones who are really familiar with are his righteous brother Hui Ang, and the prince Dai Wu and Xue Juzhou were two. Meng Zhong just heard Hui Ang mention it at the beginning - Xue Juzhou, which Hui Ang recommended it as the "Crown Prince's Master". Please teach him the bachelor of the prince Dai Wu with all his heart.

"Song Wang Yan... actually passed the throne to the crown prince Dai Wu?"

After listening to Tian Wei's words, Meng Zhong changed his mind more or less about Song Wangyan.

I remember that once, Wang Yan of Song once said to him that he sent troops to attack Teng State to make the State of Song stronger. However, Meng Zhong did not believe in the words of Wang Yan of Song at that time, and privately believed that this was the "king desire" of Wang Yan of Song.

But now, when we learned that Song Wangyan also imitated Zhao's father and passed the throne to the crown prince Dai Wu so that he could concentrate on leading troops to attack the territory, Meng Zhong must admit that Song Wangyan was probably not the kind of person who was greedy for royal power.

Like Zhao Zhufu, he was trying to make his country stronger - both of them were very enterprising heroes.

I have to say that Meng Zhong’s mood is a little complicated at this moment.

After that, the topic went around and talked about the incident of "Zhao, Yan and Song Dynasty attacking Qi". Tian Wei sighed and said: "How did Zhao and Qi achieve this today's situation? I remember that when Zhao and Qi were still in power, Zhao and Qi joined hands to resist other countries..."

Listening to Tian Wei's words, Zhao Zhufu's eyes flashed with a few soft and reminiscence.

The Zhao Suhou in Tian Lu's mouth, Zhao Yu, the father of Zhao Zhufu, is also the person Zhao Zhufu's most longing for and admired the most in his mind.

After Zhao Suhou was located in the "Battle of Guiling", the Wei State was still very strong at that time, while Zhao and Qi were relatively weak. Therefore, in the "Battle of Guiling", the Zhao State was preserved by Qi general Tian Ji and Sun Bin's "surrounding Wei and saving Zhao" measures, and naturally became close to Qi State and helped each other.

In the eighth year of King Wei of Qi, Qi was attacked by Chu, so he sent an envoy "Chunyu Kun" to ask for help from Zhao.

Chunyu Kun is the son-in-law of Qi. There is a custom in Qi that the eldest daughter in the family must not get married and must preside over the sacrifice ceremony at home, otherwise it will be unfavorable to the family fortune. Therefore, men are generally recruited to marry into the family and called the son-in-law.

It has always been a shameful thing to marry into the female family, and it is difficult for the son-in-law to be valued by others.

Chunyu Kun's name "官网" actually refers to a very insulting criminal law at that time, that is, shaving off the hair around his head - probably because of his identity as a "son-in-law". After all, the social status of "官网" and "post-father" was very low at that time. [ps: I explained it in the previous article, and I will not explain it anymore.]

Although he was a humble man, his appearance was not good, and his height was less than seven feet tall, Chunyu Kun's talent was not inferior to that of another short real man in Qi State, "Yan Zi".

As early as the period when King Wei of Qi's father, "Duke Huan of Qi (Duke Huan of Qi (Duke Huan of Jiang Qi), he was ordered by Duke Huan of Qi to establish the Jixia Academy, becoming one of the earliest "Mr. Jixia", and cultivating batches of talents for Qi State.

When King Wei of Qi ascended the throne, because this king was initially addicted to wine and sex, Qi State was repeatedly attacked by other countries.

At that time, Chunyu Kun obscurely advised King Wei of Qi: "There are big birds in the country who live in the main hall and do not fly or roar for three years. Do you know why this is?"

King Wei of Qi knew that this was the allusion of "shocking" in the period of King Zhuang of Chu, so he replied: "If this bird does not fly, it will soar into the sky; if it does not sing, it will soar into the sky, it will soar into the sky."

After that, King Wei of Qi worked hard to govern, reform and strengthen his strength, and used Zou Ji to rectify his internal affairs and purified his military power to fight against the princes. This made Qi gradually become stronger.

At that time, Chunyu Kun was still above Zou Ji, Tian Ji and others. He visited Zhao State with generous gifts and begged the Zhao State, who had just succeeded to the throne, to send troops to help Qi State resist Chu State, and thus began Zhao State's military life.

After the Battle of Maling, the Wei Kingdom gradually weakened and lost its hegemony. Zhao Kingdom rose rapidly due to Zhao Suhou's wise governance, which caused a crack in the relationship between Zhao and Qi.

The Qi State, which initially joined forces with Zhao to attack Wei, gradually changed its national policy, hoping to join forces with Wei to suppress Zhao State.

In the 18th year of Zhao Suhou, Gongsun Yan came forward to persuade Qi to join forces with Wei to attack Zhao, which caused the relationship between Zhao and Qi to break down.

Due to the strength of Zhao Suhou, after he died of illness, in the early days when Zhao Zhufu had just ascended the throne, Qin, Chu, Yan, Qi and Wei jointly suppressed Zhao, hoping to take advantage of the momentum of Zhao's rise when the new king of Zhao was about to stand up.

But unfortunately, the successor to the throne, Zhufu Zhao, was a heroic master who was no less talented than his father, Marquis Zhao. He inherited the Zhao State, which was gradually becoming stronger and stronger with a series of power operations, and made the Zhao State stronger. To this day, the prosperity of Zhao State was only comparable to that of Qin and Qi, even Wei and Chu.

"I came here by the order of the king this time. I hope that Zhao and Qi can rebuild the harmony and friendship during the reign of Zhao Suhou and resolve the current war... For this reason, our Qi State is willing to ced the "Qiancheng County" to your country again." He bowed to Zhao's father, and Gongsun Cai said seriously.

"Qiancheng County?"

Even if it was Master Zhao, he was stunned when he heard this.
