"I wonder if you have considered these two points?" Wang Li put the teacup on the table and asked seriously as Dong Zhou Jun looked at him.
In the tent, Wang Li said nothing else when he finished speaking. The King of Dongzhou held an empty teacup in his hand and had not spoken for a long time. Wang Li asked the point. Now the Qin people are so powerful. In the past, when Qin and Zhao Changping fought, Yue next year, the troops surrounded Handan. The king of Wei was so scared that he didn't even dare to save him. The people of Yan didn't even have the courage to steal food, which really shocked the world.
Which country has such courage to expel the Qin people? Therefore, a country cannot do anything about its power.
The second point is that when the expelled one day, what will happen tomorrow? The Qin State was driven away, and the Eastern Zhou Dynasty re-established, and the Qin people went out of Hangu again, destroying a city is easy to turn. With these two points, Wang Li said that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty blinked and could not speak for a long time.
"Isn't that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty completely destroyed and there is no power to revive it? Wang Sili, if you can ask these two points, there must be a solution. Please teach me."
The Eastern Zhou Dynasty disappeared and there was no power to rise again. Wang Li thought that it was not a matter of one or two hundred years since the Great Zhou emperor lost his rightful influence. Since King You of Zhou smiled and the Zhou family lost trust in front of the princes, the order that should be established began to collapse, and it would be even less important to say that it entered the Warring States Period.
However, even in the Warring States Period, the Zhou Dynasty had some title of emperor, and no countries dared to fight with him. However, when the Qin people took action, everyone finally gave the nominal emperor on their heads. Who would have wanted to have another emperor on their heads?
The Warring States Period entered this period, which was no longer the era of the overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period. Instead, it was really necessary to change the dynasty. As early as when the Zhou Dynasty was not destroyed, Qin Qi called the two emperors of the East and West on both sides. To this day, who would not want to fight for any possible situations, and who would not want to replace the Zhou Dynasty and unify the nine provinces and then conquer the world?
At this time, the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was destroyed, and no one had allowed the emperor to return to the Zhou Dynasty.
However, Wang Li would not tell the Lord of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He heard the Lord of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty ask, and Wang Li smiled and said, "The key to this matter is to destroy Qin. Now the Qin people are powerful and intimidate all countries, and all countries are afraid of them."
"Our State of Zhao is the first to bear the brunt of the brunt, so our State of Zhao is also determined to defeat Qin, but because of its lack of strength, Wang Li did not hide it from the king. Today, Wang Li is here to welcome the envoy of Wei. In fact, it is also planning to initiate the alliance."
"In the future, the envoys of the countries of various countries mediate the war between Zhao and Yan, and I should do my best to accomplish this matter. If the emperor can plan together and promote this matter, he will be able to unite and defeat Qin in one fell swoop like the past Yue Yi defeated Qi. The emperor's worries will be resolved. I wonder what the emperor thinks?"
"No, not bad, the key is to defeat Qin. Thank you for your advice, thank you for your advice."
The King of Eastern Zhou Dynasty was happy to say that Wang Lixin said that in the book of Qin, Dong Machi returned to Handan again a few years later. You were not active in Zhao State. The plan was Hezong. Although you were the emperor of the devastated country, you still had some influence. It was a good thing to be able to help.
"Wang Siliguo is well-known. I will never forget the kindness of my guidance today. In the future, the Zhou Dynasty will restore the country. We should use the merits of the country to repay the merits of the priest and guide the merits of the plan."
As soon as the King of Eastern Zhou said this, Wang Li was happy. Just the territory of Eastern Zhou, what country can be enfeoffed? Can I fight a country myself? I will still want you to seal it?
And today I only talk about joining the ties. Is it yours or yours still a problem today? It’s really a shadowless thing.
Thinking of this in my heart, Wang Li didn't show any expression: "Wang Li dared not be the one. Helping the king is really helping me, Da Zhao. If we can defeat Qin, our strong neighbors on the west side of Da Zhao will be able to be more at peace in the future."
The King of Dongzhou smiled and looked at Wang Li: "I don't say that. Since I say it, I must make a move. Si Li. I heard that Si Li has not married yet. I happen to have a beloved daughter, who is only 28 years old and is also beautiful..."
"Your Majesty!" Before the Lord of Eastern Zhou had finished speaking, Wang Li paused the teacup and said seriously: "Your Majesty may have heard it badly. Although Wang Li has not married, he has already had a marriage contract with the Wu family and the king, and has given marriage to the king. He only waited for the marriage. How could the daughter of the Lord be my concubine?"
"Okay, it's not too early, so it's time to have lunch. Today, Wang Li was hunting a bear outside. Not to mention the other bears, the bear paws are so delicious. At this time, it should be treated the same, just for entertaining you."
After hearing what the Lord of Dongzhou said, Wang Lixin said that I love beauty and reputation is really famous all over the world. There are really people who want to give beauty everywhere. People in Yan thought so, but they didn’t expect that the Lord of Dongzhou would be like this.
"Haha!" Dong Zhou Jun responded embarrassedly: "Then thank you for the reception of Sili."
As he said that, Wang Li led the King of Dongzhou out, but saw a group of iron guards fiddling with a big bear on the ground not far away. The bear's paw had been cut off, and his belly was cut open to take off his bear's gall, and he was treating the bear's skin.
At this time, the camp's troops Gan Hongxiang saw Wang Li leaving the tent and hurriedly came over: "Go to Lord Sili. A messenger from Zhenbeiwei of Wei just now, saying that the envoy of Wei, Long Yang, and his party were close to Zhenbeiguan and could reach my Zhao territory in the evening. I came to inform the Lord, and thought it was contacted."
"Longyang Lord!" A strange look flashed in Wang Li's heart. He was waiting for the envoy of Wei State, but in fact he was waiting for the envoy of Xinling Lord, but he did not expect that he would wait for the envoy of Wei State Longyang Lord at this time.
However, since the Lord Longyang has arrived, he should not neglect because of this stay. "According to the itinerary, the envoy of Xinling Lord has arrived in the past two days. Well, when Lord Longyang has arrived, I will welcome him first, and then stay here for an additional day or two for a reason."
Wang Li thought of this and helped Gan Bingwei up first: "General, when the envoy of Wei has arrived, I will welcome him to the border. However, the bandits on the border have not been wiped out yet. He only asked the general to mobilize half of the camp and guards in the afternoon to accompany me to escort them."
"It's noon now, so let's have lunch together."
After lunch, the Eastern Zhou Jun Bingwei left immediately, but instead stopped here. He listened to Wang Li's words. At this time, he heard that the King of Longyang of Wei came over, but he wanted to wait here and then headed to Handan together.
Wang Li didn't say much. Seeing that Gan's generals had arranged everything, he led a group of iron guards to lead nearly half of the Tunan Guards to welcome him to the Wei territory.
Six hundred soldiers lined up in neat teams outside the camp. The formation was arranged to deal with the sneak attacks of the roads and forests on both sides. The soldiers on the left and right edges of the team were all large shields and short blades, and there were spearmen behind them. There were crossbowmen at the center of the formation, which was not many.
In the Warring States Period, the crossbow, a very lethal weapon, had developed relatively maturely. Even the so-called Zhuge crossbow in later generations had appeared in this era, but it was developed and mature, but it was not really used on a large scale.
One is not easy to make or preserve, and it is difficult to use on a large scale, so logistics is difficult to ensure.
Imagine two large corps fighting, and two ** teams are almost impossible to shoot at the same time as modern troops. Generally speaking, crossbowmen are precious species in the army and can form an army in large corps, but for the camp and guard, it is good to have a hundred crossbowmen in the army.
Looking at this team of soldiers, Wang Li Xin said that Zhao State was in the four battles, with many famous generals, and the quality of this soldier was also good, which can be seen from this small guard.
"Wu Zhuo, send all the iron guards who have learned special operations, and as the scouts in the camp figured out all the surrounding mountains and forests for me." There was no clear news about Xiang Shaolong's encirclement and suppression of Xiao Wei Mou, and the mountains and forests on this border were not completely safe, so Wang Li attracted special attention to this matter.
"No!" Wu Zhuo took the order and left. Wang Li turned around: "General Gan, let's get up."
The knight beside Gan Hongxiang held up the flag and waved forward vigorously, and someone blew the horn again. The entire team slowly started and started broadcasting south with neat steps. It did not run, but the normal marching speed was still maintained when walking.
I heard the soldiers step in a uniform manner. Although the formation was not completely neat and they walked casually, the pace of trampling also showed a sense of majesty.
Wang Li sat in the camp and looked back at the rear, and saw six hundred people moving forward together and pulling out a long team, wielding this power, just imagining tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people moving, or even fighting. What kind of scene is that?
In this way, the troops walked at a constant speed, and wherever they passed, they could only make birds fly in the mountains and forests, and countless wild beasts flee in a hurry.
Because the speed of traveling was not fast, the entire team went to the border between Zhao and Wei for more than an hour before arriving, and then they rested here. They did not set up during the rest, but were just dispersed into small teams that could organize offense and defense at any time scattered in an open area, waiting quietly.
It was also the first time that Wang Li participated in the ancient marching. Gan Bingwei was accompanied by him and asked him questions about marching and camping from time to time. Gan Bingwei knew Wang Li's identity, but Wang Li asked him all the questions.
Wang Li also felt novel when he heard this, and thought to himself that this guard was really capable.
The border between Zhao and Wei is bounded by a small river among the forests. Each of the rivers has steles with stones and engraved seal scripts to establish the border. There are still boundless mountains and forests opposite the border.
The mountains and forests of this era are not as good as those of later generations. Without much development, many of the mountains are real deep and old forests. Especially after entering the Wei realm, the mountains suddenly became less like the small hills in the Zhao plain area, and there were many trees.
Wang Li looked around and looked at the surrounding terrain, and recalled what Gan Bingwei said yesterday that this mountain forest is indeed not a good place to set up camp. At this time, it is extremely rare to have a good place to park troops in the border river valley.
The entire army that was welcoming stopped in this small river valley. After about half an hour, a knight from Wei land came quickly and said, "The envoy of Wei State, Long Yangjun, had passed Zhenbeiwei and came to the direction of Tunanwei."
The Wei State obviously also escorted the envoys along the way. The journey of seven or eight miles was relatively slow. Wherever he passed, he only brought smoke and dust, and his movements were no less than when Wang Li came.
