Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Of course, the reason why Zhao Dan came to Guocheng was not because he was full and had nothing to do.

There is a very good saying "no investigation, no right to speak". Now that he has traveled to this world and became the king of Zhao, Zhao Dan hopes that he can be a Zhao king who understands the people's sentiments, so he will go to Handan City to take a look. At first glance, it is undoubtedly the simplest and most direct and effective way to understand the people's sentiments.

Zhao Dan, who was sitting in the carriage, began to look at everything around him.

Except for the palace city where Zhao Dan, the king of Zhao, lived, this Guocheng, which is much larger than the palace city, is the real Handan city.

This place is not full of residential areas and shops and office buildings like later generations, but is divided into several parts such as commercial area, handicraft area, residential area, etc. Each place has a strict division of use, dividing the entire Guocheng into large and small areas. There are dozens of different square areas.

Moreover, due to the prosperity of industry and commerce, Handan City has a very large floating population. In Handan City, you can meet many merchants and people from other countries. It can be said that you can learn about the fashion trends of various countries without leaving home.

Needless to say, the short-sleeved Hufu unique to Zhao State, there are other Qi people who incorporate the Dongyi style, which is similar to Zhao State but the Chu State people are not as open-minded as Zhao State. People from the country of Yan with long sleeves, people from the country of Qin who were dressed in black hurriedly bowed their heads, and so on.

Zhao Dan observed all the way, and found that no matter whether it was from the Zhao country or the people from the other six countries, it seemed that they were not affected by the confrontation between the Zhao country and the Qin country in Changping. It's easy, and the pace of walking is also very brisk.

After all, after hundreds of years of fighting in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, they were basically numb to the point of numbness.

But only Zhao Dan knew that if the battle of Changping was defeated, the people of Qin would immediately march into Handan. At that time, this once glorious city in the Warring States Period would begin its decline.

"Chang Ping, never be defeated!" Zhao Dan subconsciously clenched his fist slightly.

Peace is always the most precious thing.

As soon as he thought of the Battle of Changping, Zhao Dan suddenly lost the desire to continue shopping, but began to think about his own countermeasures silently.

If the state of Qin is the grandson monkey who was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, then the five states of Jin, Chu, Wei, Qi, and Zhao who took turns to dominate the Central Plains were the five fingers that suppressed Qin.

Now the other four fingers have been loosened and collapsed. Once the last hope of Zhao Guo can't stand it, then the six eastern countries will no longer be able to resist the invasion of Qiang Qin.

After Zhao Dan thought about it, he always felt that although his previous arrangement was not bad, but if he wanted to fight Qin Guofang, he had to have as many means as possible.

Have to think of a way.

Zhao Dan was in a daze, the carriage had already driven out of the main road of Handan City, which was crowded with people, and came to an equally wide avenue, but with relatively few people.

On both sides of this road, there are many extremely luxurious mansions, each of which occupies a large area and is very grandly decorated, with carved beams and painted buildings, vermilion lacquer and red walls, highlighting a high-end atmosphere.

Zhao Dan's heart moved, and he knew that this was the place where the great figures of Zhao Guo lived, like the few ministers who had a meeting with Zhao Dan today, their mansions were also on this street.

Zhao Dan casually pointed to a mansion by the side of the road and asked, "Whose mansion is this?"

The guard replied: "Go back to Your Majesty, this is the residence of Lord Duping."

"Du Ping Jun Tian Dan?" Zhao Dan's heart moved, thinking that this is really a coincidence, so he said: "Go, knock on the door."

Chapter 11 Tian Dan

Tian Danfu.

Generally speaking, when a guest comes to visit, the host usually sits at the top and the guest sits at the bottom.

But the identity of this guest today is so special that even Tian Dan, the king of Zhao Guo and the former Xiangbang, had to sit with him respectfully.

This unexpected visitor was, of course, Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan is sitting at the top seat at the moment, looking at Tian Dan at the bottom with great interest.

This is a man wearing a high crown and belt, a purple shirt, a thin face, a peaceful appearance, and gray temples.

This is also a great man in history.

If you push the time forward a few years and want to select one of the four famous generals at that time, then Qin Guobaiqi, Zhao Guo Zhao She, Yan Guoleyi and Qi Guotian Dan are definitely well-deserved, and they will not think of others.

Sima Qian commented on Tian Dan in the biography of Tian Dan in Shiji: "Soldiers use righteousness to win with surprises. Those who are good can surprise endlessly. Strangeness and righteousness regenerate each other, like a ring without reason. A husband is like a virgin at first, suitable for people to open an account; later It's like taking off a rabbit, it's too far away: if it's a single field, it's evil!"

What Sima Qian said meant that Tian Dan was not only able to engage the enemy in an upright manner, but he could also surprise the enemy when needed. Unpredictable.

There is no doubt that this is an extremely high evaluation.

Moreover, Tian Dan is quite loyal and patriotic. After using countermeasures to force Le Yi away, and the Fire Bull formation was broken and robbed, Tian Dan led the Qi army and swept across the entire land of Qi in an instant like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, completely regaining the land of Qi. All the territories occupied by Yan State.

By this time, Tian Dan's prestige in Qi State had reached its peak, and he held the military power of Qi State's only army, and he was the blood of Qi State's Tian family. As long as Tian Dan was willing, he could stand on his own The monarch of Qi State, and most of the people of Qi State absolutely agree with it with both hands and feet.

But Tian Dan did not do this. Instead, he went to Jucheng to welcome back Tian Fazhang, the son of King Qi Min Tiandi, and made this Tian Fazhang the new King of Qi, that is, King Qi Xiang.

As a result, Tian Dan's reputation reached its peak, so that the mainland countries and the people of Qi "only knew that there was Tian Dan, the king of Anping, but not the king of Qi."

As the saying goes, the merits of the emperor surpassed the master of the earthquake, but Tian Dan's credit was so high that it could not be higher, and it could even be said that he crushed his own king.

Therefore, Tian Fazhang, King Xiang of Qi, was extremely jealous of Tian Dan. In the end, even though Tian Dan reached the peak of his honor as a minister in the Xiang Dynasty of Qi Xiang, he was never allowed to be reused.

It is precisely because of this that when King Zhao Hui asked to exchange 57 cities in the three major cities of Gaotang, Linglu, and Pingyuan in exchange for Tian Dan, Qi Xiang Wang Tian Fazhang agreed almost without hesitation, completely ignoring Qi. How raging are the many voices of opposition in the country.

After Tian Dan came to the state of Zhao to serve as Xiangbang, King Hui of Zhao and King Qi Xiang died soon after.At that time, Zhao Danchu was still young when he came to the throne, so Zhao Weihou, Zhao Dan's biological mother and queen of Zhao Huiwang, was regent.

Empress Zhao Wei is the younger sister of Tian Fazhang, king of Qi Xiang, so she still trusts Tian Dan, the natal family of Qi State.During this period of time, Tian Dan's life was quite comfortable, and he had power. He also led the army to conquer Yan State and captured several cities of Yan State.

But after Zhao Dan took power and Zhao Wei died, Tian Dan's situation deteriorated rapidly.

After taking office, Zhao Dan didn't trust Tian Dan, a native of Qi, so Tian Dan, a Xiangbang, was quickly emptied out. Although he was still a Xiangbang in name, in fact the power was divided between Pingyuanjun Zhao Sheng and Shangqing Lin Xiangru.

After that, Tian Dan basically lived in seclusion at home, only showing his face on some occasions that he had to attend. Until a few days ago, Zhao Dan, who had not been traversed at that time, ordered Tian Dan's phase to be removed and replaced by Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng. superior.

Judging from the history books, Tian Dan was silent after that, and he presumably died of old age in such a silent way.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dan couldn't help feeling a little more sorry for this historical celebrity.

Tian Dan, a great talent.

It's a pity that King Qi didn't dare to use it, and King Zhao couldn't.

King Qi did not dare to use it. It has already been said before, so why do you say that King Zhao can't use it?Because at this moment, Tian Dan in front of Zhao Dan is still wearing a set of standard Qi State clothes.

It has been so many years since he came to Zhao country, but he still insists on wearing the clothes of Qi country, which shows that Tian Dan still thinks that he is a Qi country person.

Such a loyal and patriotic person is only loyal to his mother country, Qi State, and people from Qi State like Zhao Weihou can use him, but neither the previous Zhao Dan nor the current Zhao Dan dare to use Tian Dan.

How can this be used when you are in Cao Ying and your heart is in Han?Really useless.

Tian Dan really loves the country of Qi so much!Except for King Qi, no one can use him.

Tian Dan looked at Zhao Dan, feeling a little strange in his heart, a few days ago you, the great king, just withdrew from my position as Xiangbang, and now you suddenly came to my house quietly, sitting here staring at me without saying a word, the expression on your face The expression is still weird, what is this for?

Reminiscent of the rumors about "Zhao Wang is a manly man" from the womb, Tian Dan's body suddenly trembled uncontrollably, it shouldn't be possible, I'm so old

So Tian Dan felt that he couldn't keep silent like this any longer, he cupped his hands towards Zhao Dan, and said, "I don't know that the king came to visit suddenly, but do you have something to tell Yu Chen?"

Only then did Zhao Dan come to his senses, what the hell, he was so busy remembering Tian Dan's glorious history that he forgot about the living man in front of him.
