The strongest Marquis in history

Linghu Qianli said: "The Queen Mother is preparing, how to reward Wang Qi?"

Concubine Li said: "The Ai family intends to give him the lineage of King Qi, hereditary succession, and give him a side concubine. As long as he is a man, there is no one who does not love women. At Wang Qi's young age, there are women around him. By her side, it will naturally change her slowly."

Linghu Qianli suddenly understood, shook his head and said: "Queen Mother, this is probably unrealistic. Wang Qi is not addicted to female sex. Look at him now, he only has one concubine Zhao Yuyan and one concubine Mi Zhen. Wang Qi This man is very ambitious, but it is almost impossible to restrain him with women, to bind him."

Concubine Li laughed and said, "Linghu, it's because I haven't met that person, so Wang Qi won't be obsessed."

"Aijia wants you to meet someone."

Concubine Li clapped her hands, and not long after, she saw a woman enter from outside the hall.

The woman was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, not particularly stunning and charming, but when she appeared, people couldn't help but take a few more glances.Even Linghu Qianli couldn't help but take a few extra glances, and the first impression was particularly good.

Linghu Qianli was shocked, and asked: "Queen Mother, this is?"

At this moment, Linghu Qianli understood.

This woman is not simple.

Concubine Li said: "Her name is Su Yuqing. She is from the Ai family. She is naturally charming and charming, and has a dignified and virtuous demeanor. This time, I will confer on her as a princess and let her marry Wang Qi. With her here, she will be married to Wang Qi." Gradually master Wang Qi. As long as Wang Qi is controlled by Su Yuqing, everything in Qi will be under my control. At that time, Wang Qi will be a sharp sword in our hands."

Linghu Qianli frowned, knowing that Su Yuqing was not an easy woman.Not only is she naturally charming, but she may also have practiced the charm technique, which is designed to capture and confuse people's hearts.

Linghu Qianli didn't refuse any more, and said: "I obey the order, now it comes to the matter of sending an envoy, who will send the envoy?"

Concubine Li said: "Go and discuss this matter with the emperor. After deciding on a candidate, take Su Yuqing with you. Don't waste any more time, hurry up and handle it."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Linghu Qianli bowed and responded.

He turned around and left, leaving Su Yuqing and Concubine Li in the palace.

Concubine Li said indifferently: "Yu Qing, whether you can succeed this time depends on you. The revival of the Great Zhou depends on you. The Ai family hopes that you will be successful if you go here."

Su Yuqing said: "The disciple will definitely live up to the high expectations of the master, and will definitely control Wang Qi."

Concubine Li looked indifferent, and said: "As long as you complete the task, the Ai family will not only promise your parents to be marquises, but also let them be hereditary and enjoy the glory and wealth from generation to generation. If you are a Su family, you will ascend to heaven."

Su Yuqing trembled, she knew that this was not only a promise, but also a beating.

This is Li Fei's method.

Su Yuqing respectfully said: "Everything about the disciple is bestowed by the master. Without the master, the disciple would have starved to death on the street long ago. Please rest assured, the master, the disciple will definitely complete the task."

Concubine Li said: "Go and prepare."

"Yes!"

Su Yuqing bowed and saluted, then turned and left.

When she walked out, there was a touch of coldness and greed on her delicate face.She is very happy to go to Qingzhou, because after becoming Wang Qi's side concubine, she will not only control Wang Qi, but also control Qi.

Even in the future, she will surpass Concubine Li and gain supreme power.At that time, she will return those who bullied her in the past one by one.

Su Yuqing's expression returned to calm in an instant, and she went to her residence.

Chapter 595 Zhao Guoce

Jizhou, Yecheng.

This is the capital of Zhao State.

The current leader of the Zhao Kingdom is Zhang Shiqi. Among all the states in the world, he became king relatively late.But Zhang Shiqi's Jizhou Zhao State is extremely stable.Zhang Shiqi himself used to be Jizhou Shepherd. He has been Jizhou Shepherd for many years and has stronger control over the local area. He is not like Zhu Huai or Yuan Wei at all.

Zhang Shiqi himself is also extremely ambitious, and even more capable, able to win over people.

In addition, Zhang Shiqi was born in a family of Jizhou. The princes of the Zhang family are deeply rooted in Jizhou and are the largest family in Jizhou. Therefore, he can govern Jizhou more firmly and can control Jizhou steadily without any problems.

Unlike Zhu Huai, he was an outsider in Youzhou, a rootless duckling.

It would be difficult for Zhu Huai to gain a foothold.

In the palace, in the main hall.

Zhang Shiqi is dressed in a dragon robe and a purple gold crown on his head. He is gorgeously dressed and sitting upright.His eyes fell on a burly middle-aged man below, and he said slowly: "General, Wang Zongxi is very fast and decisive."

"Behead Tian Yue first, and then start to march south, directly breaking Ji County, the capital of the Yan Kingdom. Now King Zhu Huai of Yan has no choice but to retreat to Zhuo County, the seat of Zhuo County."

"Even so, according to this king, it may not be able to stop it. Before that, Zhu Huai sent Zhu Yan to ask for help, and expressed his willingness to submit to our country of Zhao. At that time, he didn't respond, and waited and watched the changes for the time being. Now Zhu Huai has become more and more unable to bear it. waited."

Zhang Shiqi said: "I reckon to wait another one or two months, in case Zhu Huai's last strength is completely exhausted and cannot stop Wang Zongxi. Our strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight will be invalid."

The middle-aged man's name is Yan Zhong, he is a general of the Zhao Kingdom, he is highly skilled in martial arts, a master in the realm of masters, and has the courage that is beyond all means.

Yan Zhong looked solemn, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the reason why I don't agree with sending troops is because Wang Zongxi is not easy to deal with. Moreover, it is necessary to squeeze out Zhu Huai's last strength so that he can weaken Wang Zongxi's strength."

"At that time, even if we intervene in the war, it will not be too difficult. Of course, the most important thing is to consider the movements of Wang Qi in Qingzhou. Your Majesty also knows that Qingzhou sent Lord Yang Shan to sit on the border of Pingyuan County."

"Once we really send troops to intervene in the situation in Youzhou, the troops arranged by Wang Qi at the border are very likely to intervene and even directly attack Jizhou. At that time, we will be fighting on two fronts, and it will not be worthwhile for us."

As a general in the military, Yan Zhong also has great ideas.

He also has a concern of his own.

After hearing this, Zhang Shiqi got up and paced back and forth in the hall. After thinking for a while, he said, "The problem is, after Wang Zongxi destroyed Zhu Huai, Wang Zongxi, Wang Qi and his son will be in the south and north of our country of Zhao. It will form a pincer attack. It is also extremely dangerous for our country Zhao."

On Yan Zhong's sharp-edged face, there was a look of solemnity, and he said solemnly: "My lord, I am not saying that I will not participate in the war, nor does it mean that I will not intervene in the battlefield. My consideration is to let Zhu Huai go further and do my best for us." Weaken Wang Zongxi."

Zhang Shiqi said: "It's hard to grasp!"

Yan Zhongdao: "I believe that when Zhu Huai can't bear it, he will send someone to ask for help. In this way, the follow-up will have less impact on us. Zhu Huai has no strength, so he brought people to surrender and wants to annex Zhu Huai It is a breeze to recruit the talents under his command."

Zhang Shiqi nodded, he also understood the intention of Yan Zhong's words, and it made sense.

Zhang Shiqi is very greedy, he has big ambitions.

However, Zhang Shiqi is also stable. You must know that the world was turned against each other back then, and all places proclaimed themselves kings and emperors, and they no longer respected the Great Zhou.

When Jizhou was under his control, and the hearts of the people were all attached to him, Zhang Shiqi established the country and became king.

Even so, he never proclaimed himself emperor, but only proclaimed himself king.

It can be regarded as another respect for Da Zhou.

When Zhang Shiqi and Yan Zhong were discussing, a servant came in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wants to see you."

"pass!"

Zhang Shiqi gave an order.

The servant turned around to inform, and not long after, an elderly man in his fifties stepped in.

The old man's name is Tian Ce, and he is the prime minister of Zhao State.Tian Ce was not from a big family, but a celebrity in Jizhou.Tian Ce was Zhang Shiqi's counselor when Zhang Shiqi was the shepherd of Jizhou.

After Zhang Shiqi became queen, Tian Ce took up the post of prime minister, as the head of civil servants.

After Tian Ce stood still, he bowed and said, "My subject Tian Ce, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Zhang Shiqi said: "The prime minister is exempt."

"Come here, give me a seat"

Zhang Shiqi ordered, and a servant prepared a seat for Tian Ce to sit down and talk.

After Tian Ce sat down, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, the old minister just got the news of Yangzhou in the south. Within half a month after Wang Qi dispatched troops, he took over the entire Chen State and destroyed Yuan Wei. Now the entire counties of Yangzhou in the south are included Wang Qi's subordinates. Wang Qi's Qi State has already occupied Yangzhou, Xuzhou and Qingzhou, and its strength has been further strengthened."

"hiss!!"

Zhang Shiqi couldn't help but gasped.

There was a look of shock on his face.

Too fast.

In a short period of time, Wang Qi destroyed Yuan Wei and took another state.Calculated in this way, the strength of Qi State is among the best in the whole world.If you really want to compete against Qi alone, not any prince may be able to do it.

At this moment, Zhang Shiqi also felt a lot of pressure.He sighed and said: "The speed of Wang Qi's rise is really too fast, people are caught off guard."

Tian Ce stroked his beard, and said slowly: "What the king said is true. Wang Qi annexed Xuzhou and Qingzhou in a short period of time, and now he has taken Yangzhou. Before Yangzhou, Wang Qi's strength was not strong or stable. The rear. Now with Yangzhou, there is a strategic depth, there are advances and retreats, and it is difficult to deal with."

Zhang Shiqi said: "Prime Minister, this king and the general are discussing how to deal with the situation in Youzhou. Wang Qi took Yangzhou, and the situation is even more complicated. Tell me, what should we do now?"

Tian Ce looked solemn, and said: "Your Majesty, before entering the palace, the old minister called a group of officials to discuss this matter. In addition, he also asked the opinions of his staff. Regarding the war in Youzhou and Wang Qi, everyone's opinions Opinions are the same."

Zhang Shiqi said: "Tell me."

Tian Ce said: "Everyone is the main battle. The reason is very simple. Here in Youzhou, we will face a battle with Wang Zongxi sooner or later. It is better to start a war now than to start a war later. At least there is still Zhu Huai, who can share part of the pressure .”

"If our country of Zhao doesn't care about it, and Zhu Huai can't stand alone, Wang Zongxi will definitely destroy Zhu Huai and control the entire Youzhou. At that time, Wang Zongxi and Wang Qi will be in a state of attacking our Zhao country from south to north."

"In addition, sooner or later we will go to war with Wang Qi. Judging by Wang Qi's posture, it is impossible to coexist peacefully with Zhao Guo. He is actively expanding, and sooner or later there will be a confrontation."

Tian Ce said firmly: "So we all think that it is definitely better to start a war now than to start a war later."

After hearing this, Zhang Shiqi went back to the dragon chair and sat down, stroked the beard under his chin, and thought slowly.

It is better to fight early than to fight late.

This is a correct inference.

Zhang Shiqi said: "Prime Minister, General, now we want to intervene in the battle in Youzhou, how should we intervene? In addition, what should we do to deal with Wang Qi here?"

Yan Zhong didn't speak, but looked at Tian Ce, because Tian Ce was the master when it came to strategic planning.

Tian Ce said slowly: "After discussing with the people under my command, I think we have three aspects to do in this battle."

Zhang Shiqi said: "Which three aspects?"

Tian Ce said: "First, it is natural to directly intervene in the situation in Youzhou, and there is no need to delay any longer. If you want to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, I am afraid that Zhu Huai, the tiger, will be beaten to death by Wang Zongxi. I want them to meet each other It is too difficult to fight. So arrange a large army to rush into Zhuo County, and go to Zhuo County to help Zhu Huai and resist Wang Zongxi's attack."

"Second, prevent Wang Qi from raiding Jizhou. Then dispatch a large army to the south to station at the border of Hepingyuan County, and defend the whole front. We are in the southern border of Zhao State. We don't need to kill the enemy, and we don't need to take the initiative to fight. Can."

"The reason for this consideration is that Wang Qi's army is extremely powerful in battle. His army is also good at fighting. Once he goes out to fight, if he doesn't pay attention, he will be in trouble."

"Our current energy is mainly in Youzhou. After taking Youzhou, it will not be too late to fight Wang Qi. As long as we take Youzhou, Jizhou and Youzhou will become one, and Zhao's strength will go further. Fear Wang Qi."

Tian Ce talked eloquently, appearing extremely determined.

This time he came, he had already considered it clearly, so he had such a clear idea.

Zhang Shiqi also nodded and said, "What about the third point?"

Tian Ce said: "Thirdly, unite other forces to take action. Now there are more than one or two people who have opinions on Wang Qi, or are afraid of Wang Qi. Cao Xuan, who is currently entrenched in Yanzhou, leads Yanzhou Mu by himself. Respect the imperial court and take charge of the entire Yanzhou. In fact, the current Yanzhou is already in the hands of Cao Xuan."

"Cao Xuan's development is relatively slow, and if he wants to develop, it is impossible to let Wang Qi continue to sit on the throne. On this occasion, we arranged for people to go south to Yanzhou to lobby Cao Xuan to send troops to the western border of Qi. Can."

"This matter is not difficult for Cao Xuan."

"In addition, Liu Heng, the shepherd of Yuzhou in the south of Yanzhou, is the same as Cao Xuan. He also respects the Great Zhou on the surface, but he leads Yuzhou himself. The Yuzhou he lives in borders Xuzhou."

"If Qi's strength really increases, Liu Heng's situation is not good. So we can arrange people to join Liu Heng, and ask Liu Heng to send troops to the border of Qi and Xuzhou."

"Even, contact Chu State again. Of course, this is just an arrangement. After all, Chu State may not cooperate with us. However, we can also make arrangements. What if it happens?"

"As long as Cao Xuan and Liu Heng are intimidating, and even Chu State intervenes, Wang Qi will definitely not dare to intervene in the war in Jizhou. It will be easy for us to fight against Youzhou Wang Zongxi alone."

"If Wang Qi hadn't won Yangzhou, the veteran thinks it's impossible to reach this point."

"As Wang Qi took Yangzhou by lightning, the world shook, and the princes were afraid. Our plan now has a basis. You must know that Cao Xuan and Liu Heng are both shrewd men and heroes. They must understand that Wang Qi will continue heightened risk."

Tian Ce talked eloquently, and said: "Actually, it would be best if the imperial court of the Zhou Dynasty could ask Wang Qi not to intervene in the war in Jizhou. Even if the imperial court arranges people to work in Yangzhou, picking peaches would be the best. It's just the actual situation of the imperial court. On the other hand, if you only control the Guanzhong area, you will definitely not offend Wang Qi."

After Zhang Shiqi listened, his eyes brightened, and he praised: "The prime minister's strategy is extremely subtle, and we have a three-pronged approach. If we want to win Wang Zongxi, we have a pretty good chance. Even if we can't win Wang Zongxi, as long as Zhu Huai is in Zhuo county, then Wang Zongxi's power cannot go south."

Tian Ce said, "Your Majesty is Shengming."

At this moment, another servant came in and hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, I am asking you to see me."

"Xuan!"

Zhang Shiqi gave an order.

The servant went to deliver the order, and after a while, a tall but extremely thin middle-aged man entered.The middle-aged man's name is Gao Yuanfeng, and he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of Zhao State.Although Tian Ce does not have the power of being a prime minister, he is still an important minister.

In addition to assisting Tian Ce in daily affairs, Gao Yuanfeng also took on one of the most important duties, that is, mastering Zhao's intelligence system and inquiring about news from all over the country. This is Gao Yuanfeng's responsibility.

Gao Yuanfeng bowed to Zhang Shiqi after standing still, and said: "Your Majesty, I have just received the news. From the Dazhou side, Wang Qi was granted a marriage. Not only that, but also sent an old official from the clan, Zhao Yongtu, to personally go to Linzi to give the marriage. The marriage granted by the imperial court is not to the main wife, the concubine, but to Wang Qi as a side concubine, this matter is extremely strange."

After Zhang Shiqi heard it, he also felt weird, because no matter how he thought about it, it was not right.

Give a side concubine.

It is still a big fanfare to give the marriage, and even let the veteran Zhao Yongtu come forward, it is really weird.You must know that Zhao Yongtu is the oldest in the Yongzi generation, and he is already in his sixties and almost 70 years old.
