Chapter 47 In the third quarter, the gangsters opened the stalemate in Qi State

At this time, Linzi was in a leisurely and peaceful atmosphere. Qi State is located on the coast of the sea, not in the heart of the Central Plains, and is rarely threatened fundamentally.The three big neighbors of Qi State - Yan State, Wei State, and Chu State rarely provoke Qi State.Except for the real threat, Qi has always been unwilling to take the initiative to get involved in the melee circle of the Central Plains.As long as the flames of war do not reach their own country, the government and the people of Qi State will enjoy the prosperity "far from the end of the sky" to their heart's content.During the period of King Qi Wei, he had to save Zhao and save Han, and defeated Wei twice, establishing the status of a powerful country in the east, but still sticking to the old tradition of Qi.Su Qin entered the Linzi market, passed the fish market, the salt market, the iron market, the agricultural market, and the hundred things market. There is no sense of crisis and tension in the face of imminent national crisis.Suddenly, Su Qin seemed to see Anyi and Daliang in the past.

If the people of the country are like this, what should Meng Changjun do?Could it be that he is also indifferent to the alliance of the six kingdoms? Mr. Mengchang was very busy: he just moved into the new mansion that was built a few days ago, and the original mansion was changed into Menke Yuan.At this moment, Mr. Mengchang and Feng Huan are busy negotiating about the distribution of residences, food and clothing for the diners.After becoming the king, the reputation of Meng Changjun has greatly increased, and the number of customers has increased sharply, and the number has reached more than 3,000!

These retainers can be roughly divided into three categories: one is civilians from all over the world who have nowhere to seek official positions;Personally speaking, most of these people are capable people from various classes, possessing special skills, rebellious by nature, and regard fame and dignity as more important than life, but if they are not treated well or feel wronged, they can only promote their strengths But when he went, he openly appealed to stir up trouble, and never let the matter rest.It's Meng Changjun's heroic loyalty, generous money, shrewdness, vigilance and good mediation, which makes these Anganghao disciples think that Meng Changjun only treats himself the best.Every time he accepts diners, Mr. Mengchang has to meet them in person. One is to comfort and encourage him, and the other is to ask his family, relatives, benefactors and enemies about their whereabouts.All these questions and answers were recorded by the scribes behind the screen.Afterwards, the family members, benefactors, and relatives of the diners will receive a sum of money to settle down, and the enemies of the diners will also receive various retributions.

Once, Lord Mengchang held a banquet to welcome a new diner.During the banquet, the servant accidentally knocked over the headlight in the hall, and it was suddenly dark.For such unintentional mistakes, Mr. Mengchang has always been generous. When the lights went out, he burst into laughter: "It's all about eating black and white food, come! Do it again!" But the new diners became suspicious, thinking that the guests had different drinks and dishes during the banquet, and didn't want to People saw him deliberately blacking out the lights, so he got up angrily and smashed the wine bowl, said "goodbye", and walked away!

"Righteous man, wait a minute." Meng Changjun stood up, and under the relit brilliant lights, he walked over with his food plate with a smile: "Righteous man, how about a change?" plate.The new doorman turned around and saw that there was also a pot of stewed fish and sheep in Mr. Mengchang's copper plate. He couldn't help but feel ashamed, bowed deeply and said loudly: "I guess a gentleman with a villain's heart, and I will tarnish my reputation and lose my morals. Give me justice, young master!" After finishing speaking, he sat down solemnly, drew his sword and stabbed it into his stomach suddenly, with his eyes wide open, he sat upright and died!

Since then, Mr. Mengchang's reputation of "treating all guests kindly" has spread all over the world, and tourists from all over the world have come to vote.Even so, there are still other things about doormen.In a world of great contention, the purpose of raising scholars is to compete for strength. If talents are treated as equals, how can we reward and punish talented people with merits and demerits?But in this way, the food, clothing, housing and transportation of thousands of people has become a meticulous matter that needs to be tested one by one.After dozens of doormen (leaders) were scheduled, Mr. Mengchang had to check and inquire again. Even so, there were also unexpected disturbances.Especially after having two mansions, the residences of the diners have changed significantly, and there are more affairs that need to be handled by Mr. Mengchang himself, and he is extremely busy.

"Report to Lord Mengchang: Su Qin, Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms, has arrived." The old man hurried in. "Ah? Where are you?" Meng Changjun was surprised. "The horse team is stationed outside the city, and the chariots have already arrived at the gate of the house." Meng Changjun suddenly got up, said to Feng Huan, "We will discuss it another day", and hurried out. Su Qin could have just walked in without notifying, but he got out of the car step by step and asked the elders to report, then he walked leisurely outside the gate of the mansion, admiring the magnificent six-bay gatehouse.Not a moment later, I saw Mr. Mengchang striding out in a hurry, not even wearing the jade crown, and the red shirt was loose, looking free and easy, and he clapped his hands and laughed all the way: "Mr. Wu Xin, are you here?"

"The sky is far away and the sea is wide, and the new building is high and lying, Meng Changjun is really chic!" "Wu Xinjun scolded me, didn't you? Cough, you should scold me!" Meng Changjun laughed and looked at him: "The face is full of dust and smoke, Wu Xinjun is really suffering, let's go!" He took Su Qin's hand and walked into the hall with a smile. The reception banquet with rare seafood is indispensable. In the impassioned talk and frequent persuasion with new tricks, Su Qin also felt a little drunk.This is Mr. Mengchang: No matter how many grievances and grievances you have with him, once you sit together, you will feel like a spring breeze, like facing the bright moon, and feel that everything in the world is easy to discuss, so you let go of drinking a lot and speak with an open mind. With the frank happiness quietly melted away.When Mr. Mengchang ordered to remove the banquet and retreat to the left and right, and began to make tea and talk, Su Qin's unhappiness towards Mr. Mengchang had disappeared.

"Wu Xinjun, Tian Wen has a guilty conscience." Meng Changjun sighed: "He returned from the grand ceremony, and the new king is actually noncommittal about the major affairs of the coalition army. Tian Wen asked to see him several times, and Wang Gu talked about him, but he couldn't change the topic. Then came the Ceremony of Initiation of Farming, the Spring Ceremony of the Academy, the thawing of the government and the city, etc. I was sent for all high-sounding matters, but I was not told to join the vertical alliance. A month ago, the mansion was moved again, messy and chaotic, no time He thought that the coalition forces had made no progress. You said, Tian Wen was ordered by the prime ministers of the six kingdoms under the edict of the late king, but as the special envoy of the alliance, he was helpless..." After saying that, he said "Boom!" Fist on the table.

Su Qin laughed and said, "Why do you need to blame yourself so much? Mr. Mengchang, as long as you do one thing well, you will make up for the sky." "Wu Xinjun said that Tian Wenwan will die!" "Let me see King Qi as soon as possible." "That's all?" "That's all." Mr. Meng Chang laughed loudly: "Mr. Wu Xin, Mr. Wu Xin, you underestimate Tian Wen too. Don't say today, even when you met the former king, didn't you have to work hard? This can be regarded as a matter of mending the sky? Wouldn't it be generous to spread it out? "

Su Qin shook his hands with a three-point drunkenness: "Then try your hand and eyes." Jun Mengchang was angry and laughed: "What's so difficult about this? You need to use your hands and eyes? Just think about your words, and you will enter the palace tomorrow afternoon." While talking, he stood up and walked around Su Qin: "You Don't say anything, I will give Tian Wen an order for you: Tian Wen, you have to fight hard, get the seal of the soldiers, and bring 50,000 soldiers to Hulao Pass within half a month... Huh——Wu Xinjun, what do you mean? what?" Snoring heavily, Su Qin had already fallen asleep on the carpet. Meng Changjun laughed, and immediately ordered the maid to help Su Qin to the bedroom to rest.After Su Qin settled down, Mr. Mengchang was still full of energy and never tired. After some thought, he ordered to prepare a car and enter the palace.He wanted to make a little joke with Su Qin, let him see the King of Qi at dawn, and his speech was ignorant, and then let him meet a few more times, to see if he still thinks it's a big deal?Mr. Mengchang was originally an open-minded hero, and he sometimes teased him with good intentions with his disciples. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was a great plan. Thinking of Su Qin's ignorant, sticky and surprised look in the palace, he couldn't help laughing in the car. At midnight, the gate of the palace was empty and deserted, and Mr. Mengchang's tall car was particularly prominent.Sima of the palace gate was originally a disciple of Lord Mengchang. Because of his outstanding swordsmanship and mastery of literary skills, Lord Mengchang recommended him to be a guard for King Qi Wei.This man was loyal to his duty, and only obeyed the king's order. King Xuan of Qi ascended the throne and appointed him as the Sima of the palace gate.Seeing the arrival of Mr. Mengchang's chariot, the Sima of the palace gate rushed to meet him, cupped his hands and said in a low voice: "Master, why did you come here at night?" "I have something urgent to meet King Qi." "Oh," said the Palace Gate Sima with a flushed face, "The king has a strict order that he will not see any ministers within three days." "How?" Mr. Mengchang was anxious: "I haven't seen you for three days, why?" "How do I know?" Gongmen Sima looked frustrated. Meng Changjun was stunned for a moment, knowing that the swordsmen and disciples were all passionate about the word "righteousness", and there was no way out if there was a slight difficulty. If you asked him to clear it up, it would be tantamount to forcing him to commit suicide on the spot.The majestic Lord Mengchang exchanged the life of a general for Su Qin to meet the king of Qi, what face does he have to deal with in the world?Thinking about it, he said with a smile: "The king's order is the king's order, and it has nothing to do with you. Just tell me about King Qi's whereabouts tomorrow, and I will try to figure it out." "King Qi strictly ordered: We, the guards and soldiers, are not allowed to step into the second entrance, and it is strictly forbidden to contact the palace maids." Meng Changjun waved his hand to stop the palace gate Sima.He knew that the palace gate generals were not the monarch's personal guards, and in ordinary times he could only learn about the monarch's whereabouts from the maids in the palace. Once this road was cut off, it would be a taboo to ask him to inquire again.If you are not careful, it will be another life!Thinking this way in his heart, but he still couldn't say it, Mr. Meng Chang said: "It's okay, it won't be too late in three days, I'll leave now." Sima Gong bowed deeply with guilt on his face, but blushed and couldn't speak . But Meng Changjun suddenly turned around and smiled: "Hey, I need your help in three days." "Hi!" Gongmen Sima was immediately refreshed and relieved. For the first time, Mr. Meng Chang was at a loss as the car ran over the long street.He Hemeng Changjun can't see King Qi, is there such a strange thing?It seems that this cousin, the new king, has no doubt that he will not see him on purpose. If he does not want to see him, he is deliberately prevaricating the alliance of the six kingdoms. How can he be different?Su Qin, the Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms, came to solve this reed, and Meng Changjun, the special envoy of the Qi State, couldn't even start the program to face the emperor. How can there be any face?At this time, he realized the meaning of Su Qin's words just now.It's strange to think about it: Did Su Qin find out the inside story of Linzi beforehand?Not like.Su Qin was very upright in his work, so it was impossible and he didn't have time to secretly inquire about the inside story of the Linzi Palace.It seems that Su Qin has figured out King Qi's thoughts thoroughly, at least much more clearly than he, an important minister of Qi State.With a sigh, Mr. Meng Chang's ambition suddenly rose, and he stomped his feet suddenly, and the four-horse car galloped down the empty long street, rumbling and rattling with astonishing momentum! Born to be strong and competitive, the more things ordinary people can't do, the more energetic Meng Changjun will be. I remember my mother said: He was born on the fifth day of May, and it is a miracle that he survived.According to the yin and yang family: the prodigal son of May is not good for his parents.At the beginning, after the imperial physician approved the mother's birth date, his father, Tian Ying, was very worried. After thinking about it, he finally gritted his teeth and said to his mother: "No! Don't have this son." But the mother, as a concubine, regarded her son as a Life, although he didn't speak at the time, had already made up his mind to give birth to this son!So, the mother and her loyal maid found a farmhouse in the countryside of Linzi to live in, gave birth to their son, and fostered him in the farmer's house. Later, the mother secretly went to visit her son from time to time.Five years later, the mother secretly entrusted someone to send her son to Jixia Academy to study.At the age of ten, Meng Changjun had grown into a handsome boy with extraordinary conversation.Once, the mother plucked up the most courage and brought her son to Tian Ying.When Tian Ying saw him, he liked this vigorous young man very much, and asked if he was his mother's natal nephew?The mother replied in a low voice: "No. He is your son ten years ago, named Tian Wen." The father was astonished and angry: "I ordered you not to have a baby that day, how dare you give birth without authorization?!" The mother trembled in fright: " If you don't want to take it, I will leave with my son." The young man Tian Wen stood in front of his mother and bowed to his father: "You are a celebrity of the royal family, can you tell me why you don't want Wu Yuezi?" Tian Ying Angrily said: "Wuyuezi, when you grow up, you will not benefit your parents. Boys harm their fathers, and daughters harm their mothers!" Tian Wen said loudly, "Life is dictated by the heavens? Or is it dictated by the family?" Hearing this, the father was stunned and stopped talking.Tian Wenang said in a high voice: "If I am ordered by the heavens, what worries do you have? If I am ordered by the family, I will become a grand family, and no one can stop me!" His father was shocked and silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's all, that's all. You, just stay." After returning to the status of the son of the royal family, Tian Wen is still regarded as a "May Yuezi" in the family, and he is angry everywhere, and his mother is also depressed.The boy Tian Wen was extremely depressed, he was not convinced, and determined to show his knowledge and change the situation of mother and child.One day, forty sons gathered together, and the father took the school examination.After the routine question and answer, my father said: "When traveling around the world, eloquence is the first. If anyone can ask me well, he will be a talented person in Tianmen."Father sighed: "It seems that the Tianmen has come to an end here!" At this time, Tian Wen suddenly got up and asked loudly: "What is the son of the son?" "For the grandson." The father smiled leisurely, and the brothers also roared with laughter - such a question is too superficial! "Why is Sun Zhisun?" Tian Wen was tense. "Great-great-grandson." "What is the great-great-grandson's grandson?" My father was stunned, and shook his head: "I don't know, who are you waiting for?" The hall shook its head, but no one laughed anymore.The father turned around and asked, "Wen'er, do you know?" Tian Wen replied loudly: "The great-great-grandson's grandson is the later grandson, the later grandson's grandson is the Kun grandson, the Kun grandson's grandson is the still grandson, the still grandson's grandson is the Yun grandson, and after Yun grandson, the descendants are counted according to the generation. This is called the ladder of human relations." The hall was shocked, and Tian Wen became famous in the family in one fell swoop!His father began to look at him differently.Once his father asked him: "What do you think the Tian family lacks?" Tian Wen replied solemnly: "An old saying goes: There must be generals in the general family, and there must be ministers in the family of ministers. Is it a serious problem?" His father looked at him with wide eyes, really surprised.The next day, his father ordered Tian Wen to be the master of the family, and he was in charge of receiving guests and recruiting talents.In a few years, Tian Wen's heroic wisdom and maverick style won the deep admiration of many celebrities and guests. Tian's reputation for respecting the virtuous grew, and Tian Ying's family suddenly became a pivotal force in Qi.Whenever the princes of various countries went to Qi State as envoys, they all asked Tian Wen to be the special envoy for the talks. In the end, they all asked King Wei of Qi and Tian Ying to make Tian Wen their sons.It was under this kind of prestige that Tian Wen finally became the mainstay of the Tian Ying family. Mr. Mengchang has never failed, let alone failed in dealing with diplomatic guests.What's more, the alliance of the six kingdoms this time is the foundation of his achievements and reputation, how could he lose at the most inconspicuous link? Back in the mansion, Mr. Mengchang immediately summoned his family members to discuss matters.In a short while, more than 20 people gathered together, and when Mr. Mengchang told the story, everyone was silent.Mr. Mengchang never publicly criticized the diners, but just walked around in circles with a sullen face, and it was embarrassing for others to look at each other.Everyone knows that "raise soldiers for a thousand days, and use them for a while", now Mr. Meng Chang wants to find a way out among these strange men, but everyone has nothing to do, why not sit on pins and needles? After a long time, Feng Huan said: "Master, I think Cang Tie can give it a try." "How to try?" Feng Huan muttered, "It's just that the lord is about to lose a treasure." Meng Changjun smiled coldly: "What is a treasure? You know it very well." Feng Huan knew that Mr. Mengchang, who was generous and generous, was really angry, so he said it like this in a hurry, and the people in the house nodded in agreement.After thinking about it, Mr. Mengchang felt that it was feasible, so he couldn't help laughing: "Okay! I'll go to see Cang Tie right now, and Feng Huan will dispatch the rest of the matters." After the people dispersed, Mr. Mengchang came to the riding department of Menkeyuan . Cang Tie, who was born in a famous bandit, is a unique figure among the disciples.This "thief" is not a thief or an ordinary robber, but a slave rebel army against the government.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the most widespread bandit army was the Chu State where the disintegration of slavery was the slowest.Among the bandit army of the Chu State, the most powerful and most powerful is the "Root Zhi Army".The bandits led by Zhi were all slaves punished by the government to do hard labor, with eternal marks on their faces, and they would be eternal criminals wherever they went.After fleeing and rebelling, they were either in the big countries of Chu, Qi, Wu, Yue and Wei, or in the border mountains of more than a dozen small countries, or wandering in the vast lake, and attacked the government in various forms. Shake the world for a while!Later, under the siege and interception of the officers and soldiers of various countries, Zhi finally died in battle.However, Zhi's bandit army did not disappear, but scattered into several groups and fled into the dense forest.One of them, a bandit army of nearly a thousand people, sneaked across the Dasan Mountains of the Qin State from the mountains in the north of the Chu State, and fled northward to the Yinshan grassland. More than ten years later, the general situation in the Central Plains gradually stabilized, and slavery also fell apart.The bandit army of the Chu state that roamed the grasslands, in the struggle for water and grass, left only more than 300 people, and they were all in their forties, and they missed their homeland more and more.Finally, the leader made a decision: go back to the Central Plains!After more than a year of careful inquiry, they chose Xueyi, the state of Qi, as the place to stay.This Xueyi is the fiefdom of Tian Ying's family, which is similar to the customs of Chu State.Although Tian Wen hadn't been crowned king at that time, he had been in charge of the family for many years.He heard that a group of refugees had come to the feudal city, but he didn't care, so he ordered a large forest to be set aside for them to settle down.After all, in the sparsely populated Warring States, no one would refuse refugees to flee into their own fief. One day, Mr. Mengchang led his knights to hunt in this forest.As soon as I arrived at the mountain pass, I heard the neighing of clouds in the forest!One of the doormen was originally a horse thief, and concluded that this was the unique neighing of wild horses in Mobei.Meng Changjun felt strange, so he immediately selected ten disciples who were excellent in riding and swordsmanship, and followed him into the mountain for inspection.Entering the valley and grassland, everyone was shocked by the sight in front of them: four fiery red horses driving a huge iron cart, galloping back and forth between the two mountains!The driver on the iron cart has long hair fluttering in the air, is dark and thin, and is wrapped in a colorful tiger skin, which looks like a piece of pig iron nailed to the shaft of the cart. He shakes the four reins and whistles from time to time.Every time they reached the root of the mountain, the four horses neighed together and turned sharply together.No one has ever heard of the speed of the car, and the aura of flying close to the grass, no one yearns for it.Mr. Mengchang couldn't help shouting: "A strong warrior—! Cepheid is reborn—!" Following the shout of Shanming Guying, the iron chariot of four horses suddenly rushed back, and in the impact of lightning, it was suddenly nailed like a mountain. It was five feet away from Mr. Mengchang.But seeing the four horses standing, the iron wheels rumbling, and the turf flying, the doormen jumped away unanimously, but only Mr. Mengchang was nailed to the spot motionless. "Your Excellency has the courage, but Mr. Tian Wen?" The fine iron man clasped his hands high on the tall shaft. "Exactly, your honorable name?" "Under Cang Tie." Just like that, after a pleasant conversation and a drink of strong wine, Cang Tie insisted that a man with fifteen long hairs covering his brand became Tian Wen's retainer.This Cang Tie is the leader of the Mobei Bandit Zhi Army.In the nearly twenty years of wandering in Mobei, Yinshan Mountain, these sixteen people have practiced the superb ability to subdue wild horses in order to get familiar with life on horseback.Cang Tie was originally a hard-working slave in Yingdu's cart-making workshop, and secretly learned the skill of car-making from a cart-builder.But what is even more rare is that Cang Tie has an extraordinary talent for driving and taming horses, and he is the only horse warrior in the Bandit Zhi army.Entering Mobei, Cang Tie not only taught equestrianism, but also led his brothers to tame a group of wild horses in order to enable the remaining brothers to survive under the Huns' hussars.In order to gain a firm foothold after entering the Central Plains, they secretly built an iron-wheeled cart in Zhongshan, which was driven by four domesticated wild horses, with Cang Tie as the driver, and it could travel three thousand miles a day!For this reason, all the brothers in the army said: Cang Tie is the father who drove King Mu of Zhou to meet the Queen Mother of the West.Later, Cang Tie got the title of "Zhou Zao Fu".Mr. Mengchang really felt distressed to send such chariots and horses and such people out.More importantly, I don't know if Cang Tie is willing to do this?Cang Tie is not an ordinary diner, and Mr. Meng Chang never wants to make him feel embarrassed.A hero who fought bloody battles, a slave who escaped death, no one would despise such a character. Half an hour later, Lord Mengchang walked out of Cang Tie's small courtyard, and when he returned to the mansion, he was already floating under his feet, and fell asleep on the couch. At three strokes in the morning, Qi Xuan Wang Tian Bijiang was playing chess with an old man by the lake. The extremely mediocre chess skills did not affect Qi Xuan Wang's love of black and white chess, let alone his confrontation with world-famous masters.Counting from the time when he was the prince, he has lost count of how many masters of chess he has played with. The strange thing is that no matter how many masters he has played against, his chess skills have never improved at all. There are three rounds a day, and after the round, they walk into the study or hall.The old man who is playing today is a Chen Guo chess player who has just arrived at Jixia Academy.The old man was clothed and white-haired, but his style of chess was unrivaled. Seeing that all the black chess pieces were killed, King Xuan of Qi would laugh for a while every time a piece died, but he didn't mean to hand over the chess pieces and admit defeat. The rampage of a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west.The old man is also weird, neither angry, nor slack, nor happy, but just sits upright like a stone figurine, responding with a serious look, a knife and a gun, never retreating from those who should be killed, and never advance aggressively from those who should be defended.Seeing that everything was dead, King Xuan of Qi laughed and said, "Good chess! Let's play the second game! I will win if I live a piece!" The maid was collecting the chess pieces, but suddenly there was a whimpering noise from outside the palace!King Qi Xuan's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask a question, when the head of the housekeeper came running in short steps: "Report to my king: there are people offering treasures outside the palace gate!" King Xuan of Qi got up abruptly: "Is it a Chollima?" "I, Wang Shengming! It's not one horse, it's four horses, and there is also a thousand-mile cloud cart!" "Announce him into the palace...wait a minute!" King Xuan of Qi stopped suddenly, thought for a while and said, "Lead him to the east gate of the palace city and wait." "Follow the king's order." The old servant promised, and disappeared in a short step. King Xuan of Qi put down the old chess player and left in a hurry without saying a word.For go black and white pieces, Tian Bijiang loves and has no intention of playing, but when it comes to good horses and famous cars, Tian Bijiang is a real expert, and it is no exaggeration to say that he loves them deeply.When Qi State was at its strongest, his father also told him not to easily bring Qi State into the entanglement of the Warring States Period. As long as Qi State can maintain its prosperity and peace, and compete with the Central Plains countries for a long time, Qi State can achieve great success.Keeping this purpose, he will have leisure time, treasury money, and supreme power, and he will be able to show his preferences vividly.Tian Bijiang is not a foolish monarch, he thinks that there is a limit to play: three games of chess a day, one trip to the horse every day, and the rest of the time to deal with state affairs; In terms of driving skills, it doesn't matter if the black and white players lose, but they strive to improve day by day.If he is not proficient in any part of riding and cycling, Tian Bijiang will never give up.Often, when the chariots and horses go out of the city, the agreed hour is over, and when they return, it is already time to hold the lamps.In order to avoid Mr. Mengchang these days, Tian Bijiang has not been out of the city for many days. Although he feels very depressed, he has no choice. Pijiang knew that it was not false, so he couldn't help it anymore. The east gate of the palace city is a clean and secret side gate, where all the monarch's secret affairs come in and out, and idle ministers will not appear here.Tian Bijiang changed into a hunting armor, flew to the east gate, and just stood still on the female wall of the watchtower, he saw a four-horse chariot floating over like a red cloud in the forest avenue. Three feet in front of the watchtower, the brakes suddenly stopped, and the cart of four horses seemed to be nailed to the ground! "Good!" Tian Bijiang applauded loudly. "Report to my king: the martyr who presented the treasure has arrived." The old servant in the carriage screamed. "Grassman Tie Cang, see King Qi—!" On the shaft of the chariot, a man as fine as iron bowed his hands in salute. Tian Bijiang said loudly: "Martyr Tie Cang, turn around at the arrow tower, I'll test the car!" "Hi!" The fine iron man agreed, the reins of the horse trembled slightly, and the four-horse iron chariot rattled forward, almost approaching the archery tower, when there was a clatter, the chariot and horse stretching forward and backward for more than three feet were actually in the city gate. Turning suddenly and turning around, the carriage behind him was facing the arrow tower!Tian Bijiang shouted excitedly, the red cloak rolled up and landed in the spacious compartment like a big eagle! "Your Majesty, do you want to test the car?" The iron man stood on the shaft but did not turn around. "Such a fine BMW car, why not try it?" Tian Bijiang excitedly looked at the car body and the fiery red horse: "Go out of the city, and I will drive in the countryside." "Hi!" The fine iron man stomped his feet lightly, and the four-horse iron cart floated out of the boulevard, out of the north gate of Linzi, and flew straight to the sea!Tian Bijiang saw the trees on both sides retreating rapidly, as if they were flying through the clouds and fog. Even if he was an expert, he couldn't help holding onto the iron pillar handrails tightly with both hands.In a short while, the chariots and horses reached the deserted and vast grassland, and the iron man shouted: "How is the king's chariot skills?" "Shang Ke!" Tian Bijiang had come to his senses and was extremely excited. The fine iron man shouted again: "Take the right-hand rein first, that's right! Then the left-hand rein, good--! Be light--!" King Xuan of Qi stood upright at the shaft, holding the four reins in his hands. For the first time, he felt that driving was so wonderful: the four horses were flying like a ball of flames on the vast green grass, and the solid and huge iron wheels were silent. Without interest, a white cloud above his head was thrown behind him in a moment.What's even more amazing is that this car is extremely easy and comfortable to drive. As long as the rein is held flat in the hand, it can fly straight without any movement, which is completely different from the series of shouts of "Got it!" from ordinary drivers.That kind of car, the king can't use it, but this car is a god in the world, it is born to be a king's car! "Haishan—!" The fine iron man shouted and whistled, and the four-horse cloud cart was firmly nailed to the top of the rock outside the white sand beach.Looking around, the vast sea is full of waves, the turbulent tide is turbulent, the white sandy beach stretches into a distant arc, and the four-horse iron cart just stands on the top of the green mountain covered by forest reeds. Haiyan flew up and down, as if at the end of the wild and remote sky! Tian Bijiang was just looking around, but he heard the neighing of horses and thunderous hoofbeats from far behind him, mixed with the faint barking of dogs. Based on his experience, he knew that it was the approaching hunting horse team.Tian Bijiang was a little surprised, at least two hundred miles away from Linzi, who can hunt here?Could it be that the hunting tribes from Liaodong migrated here?Looking back, he saw that the red flags were clearly the flags of the Qi army. He couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief, and ordered the iron men to circle the carriages and horses and wait on a small hill, to see who has such a good mood? In the blink of an eye, a group of wild deer and sheep appeared on the green mountain plain, and the red flag also fluttered over like the wind.Strange, there is no font size on the flag!Tian Bijiang couldn't help being a little confused, and the shadow of the Liaodong tribe popped up in his heart.He was hesitating whether to leave, when he saw a chariot approaching quickly, and a man in the chariot with a cloak like a fire holding a long bow shouted: "Who is driving here? Could it be a visitor from outside the sky—?" Mr. Mengchang?How is he?Tian Bijiang was angry and laughed, he didn't want to see him, but he met him again, he really had no reason, wanted to fly away, but he seemed nondescript, how can a monarch avoid his courtiers like this?If he simply doesn't leave, can he still make noise about the alliance of the six kingdoms at the end of this desolate sky?With a certain idea, Tian Bijiang immediately stood on the high cart with a leisurely smile and watched Meng Changjun come chasing the prey. With a sound of "Stop!", the rumbling chariot stopped three or four feet away, and Mr. Mengchang jumped off the chariot and hurried forward to salute: "I am hunting in leisure time, but I didn't want to meet my king. Please forgive me for the abruptness." King Xuan of Qi smiled: "We meet unexpectedly, why is it so abrupt? Lord Mengchang, how do you go hunting by the sea?" "Report to Brother Wang: Tian Wen entertained distinguished guests, so he invited them to hunt in the sea as a novelty." "Oh? Where is the honored guest, and you have to work for Mr. Mengchang to go out in person?" "Report to Brother Wang: Su Qin, Prime Minister of the Six Kingdoms." "Who are you talking about?" King Xuan of Qi was surprised: "Su Qin is here? Where is it?" Tian Bijiang was very shrewd. Since Su Qin bumped into him, if he disrespected him, it would be a big mistake. After all, Su Qin is an important figure in the world today. It is really difficult for the king of Xian to see him, and being too cold will damage the prestige of Qin. Mr. Mengchang smiled and pointed to the big banner in the distance: "Over there, Mr. Wu Xin wants to compete with me for the prey, so we will compete in two ways." King Qi Xuan said: "Come on, get in my car, and pay a visit to Su Qin." Meng Changjun flew into the car, King Qi Xuan nodded, and the four-horse cloud car started with a clatter, and suddenly flew up on the grass!Mr. Mengchang shouted in surprise: "Oh! What kind of car is this? It's like a wind god!" King Qi Xuan laughed loudly: "Sima cloud car——! Have you ever seen——?" Meng Changjun shook his head and laughed: "Oh, this It's a sky chariot! How can I see it?" The words fell, and the four-horse cloud chariot had already been nailed in front of the hunting chariot. King Xuan of Qi jumped off the cloud chariot and cupped his hands: "Wu Xinjun entered Qi, Tian Bijiang failed to welcome you, please forgive me." Su Qin had already got off the chariot, and greeted him with a smile: "I came here in a hurry, but I didn't report it in time. It turned out that Su Qin was careless." King Xuan of Qi waved his hand: "Mr. Meng Chang, set up a big tent, and we will have a brighter future with Lord Wu Xin!" "Okay!" Mr. Mengchang gave an order, and a large cowhide tent was tied up in a short while, covered with felt, and served with strong wine and dried meat, and the scenery was infinite.King Xuan of Qi boldly expressed the respect of the sea to wash the dust, and then he really praised the four-horse cloud car he got today, and asked Su Qin to try the cloud car on his return trip.Su Qin and Meng Changjun also expressed their admiration, the tent was filled with a sense of spring, after several rounds of drinking, King Qi Xuan asked about Su Qin's whereabouts, and Su Qin talked about the progress of the formation of the Allied Forces of the Six Nations, specifically telling the changes of King Huai of Chu, Speaking of going north and entering Qi, he stopped with a smile. "The change of Chu State is naturally gratifying and congratulatory." King Xuan of Qi smiled meaningfully: "However, Qin State has not yet seen the outcome, and this matter is still variable. What do you think?" Obviously, everything in Chu State is in order. King Xuan knew it all. "King Qi thinks that the variable of the alliance lies in Chu?" "Wu Xinjun thinks he's not in Chu?" Su Qin shook his head: "Not in Chu, but in Qi." King Xuan of Qi laughed loudly: "Mr. Wu Xin, tell me, where has the state of Qi changed?" "The changes in Qi are like Su Qin's eyes, which are difficult for ordinary people to perceive." "how do I say this?" "I have poor eyesight, I can only see in front of my eyes, ten feet away, there is a haze." "Wu Xinjun, are you saying that Tian Bijiang is short-sighted?" "King Qi has ever thought about why Qi State destroyed Wei State's supremacy, but why it still lives on the seashore? Three hundred years ago, Jiang Qi never had the wealth and power of Tian Qi today, so why can he respect the king and fight against the barbarians, nine princes, Become the pillar of the civilization of the Central Plains?" Su Qin's eyes sparkled: "The root of this is that Tian Qi is indifferent to the suffering of the world, and only cares about the prosperity and prosperity of a country, thinking that in the long run, other countries will decline, and Qi will naturally be strong. At first glance, it seems to be far-sighted, but after careful consideration, it is a way to subjugate the country." "Wu Xinjun is alarmist." King Xuan of Qi felt that the boss was not happy with Su Qin's direct insight into the secret national policy determined by the previous king: " Even if the Qi State is late, how can it be the way to subjugate the country?" Su Qin is exactly the same: "I heard that the king of Qi has read the scriptures and history. Throughout the ages, has there ever been a man who waited for the rabbit to win the world? The proverb says: flowing water does not rot, and the hinge does not moth. The state is strong in the turmoil and tempering, and the people of the country are in peace. Decadence in extravagance, this is how difficult it is to prosper a country, and it is the same way through the ages. The Qin State was once in crisis on all sides, but it worked hard and became a superpower in one day. The Yan State has been reserved for three hundred years, and has always been in conflict with the Central Plains. Standing on the sidelines, it was reduced to the weakest warring state that even the Zhongshan Kingdom dared to challenge. After learning from the pain, Yan Wengong resolutely entered the water and launched a joint vertical, which greatly inspired the hearts of the people. If the law is vigorously reformed, the prosperity and strength of the Yan State will be in sight. Qi State It has been thirty years of prosperity and prosperity, but they don’t think about making progress, responding to the movement of the morning sun with the tranquility of the twilight, and it will take a few years to sink into the dark night. It is said that a blind man rides a blind horse and faces a deep pool in the middle of the night, how can he be different!” Following Su Qin's frank and sharp analysis, Qi Xuan Wang looked at Su Qin quietly, without saying a word, and was silent for a long time. Qi Xuan Wang sighed: "Mr. Wu Xin, please tell me how many troops are needed from Qi State?" "As little as 50,000, as many as 80,000." "Okay! That's 80,000." King Xuan of Qi burst into laughter suddenly: "Mr. Wu Xin has made great contributions to solving confusion, and he is back to Linzi for the big banquet!" That night, King Qi Xuan held a grand banquet for Su Qin, and ordered Meng Changjun to be the commander of the Qi army on the spot, and gave the soldiers seal letters.The courtiers were so excited that they asked for a fight one after another.King Xuan of Qi was very excited, and immediately made a case and allowed more than 20 royal children to train with the army.一时间,大殿宴会竟变成了生机勃勃的议政堂,连预备好的歌舞也没有人关心了。 次日,孟尝君便立即派出飞骑调集兵马。三日后,齐国的八万大军便在临淄郊野集中完毕。苏秦忧虑楚国反复,便立即向齐宣王辞行,与孟尝君率领八万大军浩浩荡荡的向虎牢关总帐进发。行止中途,春申君特使飞报:秦国拒绝交还房陵,楚国朝野愤怒,楚怀王却犹疑反复不敢发兵,请武信君立即南下!
