Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

There was nothing he could do about it, Hou Sheng had no choice but to resign and said: "The thing is actually like this. My king deeply feels that Qi's repeated wars have caused the people's livelihood to wither, so now the king actually doesn't want to start any more wars. And use the power of Zhao to attack a South Korea If it is, it must be accomplished immediately, so there is no need for Qi Guo to participate in it!"

What Hou Sheng said was very decisive.

Anyway, Qi State will definitely not participate in Zhao Guo's attack on Han. Even if it participates, it must stand on the opposite side of Zhao State. How can it be possible to ally with Zhao State?

Zheng Zhu glanced at Hou Sheng, and said with some dissatisfaction: "So what Hou Qing means is that Qi State does not intend to participate in the war this time?"

Hou Sheng felt his scalp go numb for a while, coughed and said reluctantly, "It's true."

Zheng Zhu took a deep look at Hou Sheng, and said slowly: "Since this is the case, when I ask to see King Qi tomorrow, I also hope that Houqing will not be contradictory in what he says. Houqing must know that people who contradict Zhao Guo , that never ended well!"

After saying this, Zheng Zhu stood up and walked away.

Hou Sheng sat blankly for a while, then suddenly slapped his thigh: "It's over, I was caught by this Zheng Zhu's words!"

It wasn't until this time that Hou Sheng realized that the reason why Zheng Zhu came to him was to get the promise from himself that "Qi will not participate in the war".

As long as Zheng Zhu asks to see Qi Wangjian tomorrow, Housheng's position is that "Qi will not participate in the war", then Qi Wangjian will probably be influenced by Housheng and finally make a decision not to participate in the war.

To be honest, Hou Sheng still has some confidence in himself.

If Qi State does not send troops, Zhao State will have one less opponent.

In this way, wouldn't Hou Sheng help Zhao Guo?

this doesn't seem good

But as Zheng Zhu said just now, if Qi Wangjian was not persuaded to stay out of the matter, wouldn't Hou Sheng become a person who turned his back on Zhao Guo?

The person who offended Zhao Guo last time seemed to be called Lejian

Thinking of Le Jian's end, a few drops of cold sweat slowly dripped from Hou Sheng's forehead.

A gust of spring breeze blew in from the door opened by Zheng Zhu just now, and the cold wind of early spring slapped Hou Sheng's face, making the Prime Minister of Qi suddenly feel

This spring, it's a bit cold.

Chapter 834 We Are Here To Die (Part [-])

Spring has just arrived, and countless cavalry in Hetao County have begun to gather in Dingxi City again.

Yi Qusheng stood on the wall of the camp outside Dingxi City, staring at the Huns cavalrymen who kept entering the camp wall, feeling that something was wrong.

"Wait, why do we need to use so many Huns this time?" Yi Qusheng couldn't help but asked Li Mu beside him.

Li Mu gave Yiqu Sheng a strange look, and the mocking look that Yi Qusheng hated so much appeared again: "Of course it's because the Huns are good cavalry candidates."

Yi Qusheng was very unconvinced and shouted: "But Lin Huren and Lou Fanren are also very good cavalry candidates!"

Li Mu shook his head, and said, "Didn't you find out? Lin Huren and Lou Annoying have actually started to degenerate slowly over the years."

"Degenerate?" Yi Qusheng was stunned for a moment.

"That's right, degenerate." Li Mu nodded seriously, and said, "Since King Wu Ling started to now, Lin Hu and Lou Fan have been in our country of Zhao for decades. Let them change from a pure nomadic people to a semi-nomadic and half-agricultural people. And judging from the current situation, it is very likely that these guys will completely degenerate into a farming people in another 50 years. This is why Ben Dudu The reason why the Huns cavalry will be activated."

After finishing speaking, Li Mu walked down from the courtyard wall.

Yi Qusheng stared at Li Mu's back, and suddenly muttered: "He didn't tell the truth, at least he didn't tell the whole truth."

In Yi Qusheng's sight, two Hun nobles who had a relationship with Yi Qusheng jumped off their horses and were respectfully saluting Li Mu.

"Xian Shantu has seen the governor diagonally!"

Li Mu smiled slightly, reached out and patted the shoulders of the two Huns in front of him affectionately: "It's been a long journey, it's been hard work."

Although he is the Shan Yu of the Huns, Xian Shan doesn't seem to have any Shan Yu's arrogance. When facing Li Mu, his smile is very humble: "It's not hard to go back to the governor. It's a matter of being able to fight for Zhao and the king." It is the blessing of our Huns."

"It's a Hun." Li Mu corrected Xian Shan's slip of the tongue very seriously.

In this era and even earlier eras, it was a common practice of the Huaxia Ming to demean other nations by their names. For example, "Yidi" is a derogatory term.

But this is actually not the most excessive. In the early and middle period of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the so-called Western Zhou Dynasty, a powerful ethnic group was active in the area north and west of Guanzhong, and its name was the Rong nationality.

The Rong people have many countries, such as Dirong, Rongrong, Dirong, and Yiqurong where Yiqusheng is located, etc.

But the most famous one is undoubtedly the dog Rong.

Dogs, dogs too.

The word Quan Rong can be simply interpreted as "Gou Rong people", which is a dirty word in itself.

Why did people in the Zhou Dynasty, who obeyed the etiquette, call Quan Rong with such indecent words?

In fact, the reason is very simple, because a long time ago, the Zhou people were also members of the plateau nomads. Later, they couldn't beat the Quan Rong, and were driven from the plateau to the Guanzhong Plain by the Quan Rong.

It is precisely because of this that the Zhou Dynasty gave this race such an ugly name "Dog Rong".

The name "Xiongnu" has a strong sense of discrimination just like the dog Rong because it has the word "nu".

Therefore, after Xianshan surrendered to Zhao, the word "Xiongnu", which was obviously derogatory, was removed from the word "nu".

Now these prairie people who have been regarded as the people of Zhao State, their new name is "Huns".

Of course, those remnants who are still wandering in Mobei and refuse to surrender to the Central Plains, their names are still "Huns".

Generally speaking, it is a concrete manifestation of "the barbarians enter China, and China will come".

Although he hated the Huns very much, Li Mu was still very polite to these Hun generals who had become his own.

After a few pleasantries, Li Mu summoned an officer of Zhao Guo: "Hurry up and take the two generals to the camp they have assigned, so that the subordinates brought by the two generals can quickly set up camp and rest. !"

Xian Shan and Tu Xie bid farewell to Li Mu, and followed this Zhao Guo officer.

The two were talking in low voices as they walked.

Tu Xie said: "Do you know? In fact, the governor has a deep prejudice against us Huns. It's really surprising that he is so kind to you and me this time."

Xian Shan gave a noncommittal huff, glanced at the Zhao Guo officer who was walking in front of him, and after confirming that no one could hear the conversation between the two of them, he said: "It's not surprising that he hates the Huns, you have to know that he It has been fighting us Huns for many years. By the way, it is those damn Mobei Huns, not us, we are the Huns of Zhao State now."

"Huns, Huns." Tu Xie shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "It doesn't sound like there is any difference."

Xian Shan snorted and said: "There is a big difference here. Remember what I said, Tu Xie. From now on, you will be a Hun, and you will no longer be a damned Hun. Forget the word Hun, otherwise it will Sooner or later, it will bring disaster to you."

Tu Xie snorted, "You are Shan Yu, you have the final say."

"Chan Yu?" Xian Shan snorted again, and said, "From today onwards, you have to call me the Lord, understand? In front of any Zhao people, I am the Hun Lord of Zhao!"

Lord Xiong is the title given to Xian Shan by Zhao Dan, and it is also evidence that Xian Shan is a courtier of Zhao Guo.
