Xuanhuang Realm, in the 806th year of the Great Zhou calendar, the capital of the King of Qi was Linzi City

In the past, the bustling royal city was now only sparse and scattered pedestrians were left on the streets, most of whom were traveling in a hurry, obviously planning to escape from the city.

In an ordinary restaurant, two middle-aged people wearing Confucian robe and martial arts clothes, both of whom are extraordinary in temperament, are sitting and drinking.

Although the middle-aged man in the left shirt was old, he could vaguely see his handsome appearance when he was young. He gently stroked his beard halfway, looked at the abortion of people running away on the street and shook his head slightly.

"The world is getting more and more uneasy. Qi, which was originally strong and powerful, never thought that it would become like this now. Tian Ji and Sun Bin are also among the people of the seven countries. How could they sit and watch Qi fall to this point!"

The middle-aged man wearing a martial arts robe on the right had a square face, a straight face, and a strong sense of rank. He was obviously a man from the old military formation. After hearing the middle-aged Confucian sang, he chuckled and said, "This is not like you, Li Si, you have always been determined to be a civil servant like the Legalist Shang Yang? The world is not in chaos. How can you Legal disciples show off your strength!"

The sarcasm of the middle-aged martial artist made Li Si smile helplessly, but he refused to admit defeat. He immediately responded with a tit-for-tat response: "It's not true, Is this world is in chaos, and the one who can do the best to show off is your military strategist. Otherwise, your famous military strategist, Gongsun Yan, would not have come to Qi at this time."

A famous scholar of Gongsun Yanbing and a famous scholar of Li Sifa, he could not have imagined that in such a simple restaurant, there were two famous scholars in the world. Fortunately, there were no diners around, otherwise he would have been shocked.

The two of them were old friends who had been familiar with each other for a long time. This trip came from Chu State and was used to mocking each other a few words along the way. They would not be angry about these two sentences, so they soon continued to talk.

Li Si drank a sip of fine wine, then stretched out his head and looked at the pedestrians who were fleeing the royal city, and said, "Qi State was a powerful country that called each other the two emperors of the East and West with Qin State. I didn't expect that today would retreat under Zhao's army. Even the royal city looked like this, and the rest of the cities can be imagined!"

"Hehe, this is no wonder Qi State. Who would have thought that my military rank could produce such a stunning and beautiful person as Zhao Kuo? Now I heard that even the King of Zhao dared not disobey him. He had to ask his opinions in every detail of the country. No one could be right in the prestige in the army. His strong soldiers and generals were brave, the Golden Armor Army of the Ouyang brothers, the White Robe Army of the three Chen brothers, Chen Yunzhu, Wan Hongren, Yu Xian, Duan Longyun... countless!"

Hearing Gongsun Yan's appreciation for the military giant Zhao Kuo, Li Si nodded solemnly, and his expression was full of agreement.

When Gongsun Yan, who agreed with Li Si, even struck the railway while the hot: "Li Si, you, a famous Legal scholar, think you have a clearer understanding of the general trend of the world than me. Since the Wei Kingdom was destroyed five years ago, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is not far from unification. Zhao Kingdom is now in a huge momentum, and unification of the world is just around the corner. You are about to become an official again, so why not go with me to join my military giant Zhao Kuo and show your ambitions."

Gongsun Yan was a native of Wei. After Wei was destroyed by Chu five years ago, he had no place to live. For such a talented man, he wanted to go to the office wherever he wanted to go to office. But as the saying goes, good birds choose trees to live on, Gongsun Yan is also a famous military scholar. He naturally has to keep his eyes open when choosing a camp.

In recent years, under the rule of his military giant Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo, Zhao, united Qin to attack Han and resist Qi, and had the majestic spirit of unifying the north. He hesitated for a long time to go where to go. After seeing the tragic situation of Qi, he had already made a decision.

He just happened to think that the Zhao army was not far from the royal city of Linzi. Zhao Kuo, the Prime Minister of Zhao State, was full of talents. Gongsun Yan was alone and he might not be able to be taken seriously. If he could convince Li Si, a famous Legal scholar, to go with him, he would be even more confident.

However, Li Si did not respond to him immediately. He felt the panic and disorder caused by the fugitives in Linzi City, and said softly: "Zhao Xiang is indeed capable of being a good person, and Zhao's soldiers are also brave and good at fighting. The war between Zhao and Qi can also be grasped through this situation in the royal city. If you destroy Qi, you will be afraid that the result will come out in a short time..."

Hearing Li Si's praise for Zhao State, Gongsun Yan showed a hint of joy on his face, thinking that he had agreed to his invitation.

But unexpectedly, Li Si suddenly changed the subject: "But if Zhao can dominate the world, he dare not agree!

Did Brother Gongsun forget that there was still a tiger far away in the west and never came out of the mountain?”

Gongsun Yan is so smart. When Li Si said that, he knew that he was referring to Qin, but there was a look of confusion on his face and said, "Brother Li is worried. If I were to say that Qin was more than 20 years ago, I would still believe it. However, since the King Zhaoxiang, Qin has never produced any Kaiming Zijun. And he has been deeply involved in the palace chaos for several years. At present, the country is in a mess. If it weren't for those civil and military officials who were supporting him, I would have been in chaos long ago. Can such a Qin be compared with Zhao?"

"Brother Gongsun never thought about why Zhao, who is so powerful, wants to join forces with Qin and attack Han and fight against Qi?"

Li Si's comments immediately changed Gongsun Yan's face. He did ignore this question, but he was still a little dissatisfied. But before he could refute, Li Si's second sentence came out.

"Twenty years ago, thousands of comets fell from the sky. Some people speculated that it was a strange man. All the six kingdoms had monsters coming out of the mountains. For example, the Zhao State you want to go to was Zhao Kuo, Han Guohe, Han Fei, Yan State had Le Yi, Qin Kai, Chu State had Chunshenjun, Qu Yuan, even the destroyed Wei State had famous officials such as Hui Shi, even today's Qi, Tian Ji and Sun Bin, and the most powerful Qin State, except for Shang Yang, Zhang Yi, Bai Qi and others who were here before, no talented monster was born. You guess why?"

When Gongsun Yan heard Li Si's words, his body was shocked.

Twenty years ago, there were many demons in the world. This was no longer a secret between the seven kingdoms. Some were the people who were so talented before, as if they had become enlightened overnight, while others were people who were not famous and suddenly became famous. For example, Zhao Xiang and Zhao Kuo, whom he admired, was the former.

Since there are such people in the six countries in Shandong, there must be Qin, but the monsters in Qin did not enter the sight of the people of the six countries from beginning to end, which is obviously unreasonable.

There is only one guess that explains the unreasonable situation of Qin, that is, the monster from Qin has been hiding in the dark and never appears.

It would be fine if it was just like this, but it was even very likely that even the so-called Qin State's indignation in the palace and frequent domestic chaos were deliberately released to deceive the six countries of Shandong, with the purpose of making the opponent careless.

Gongsun Yan was also a famous military scholar. These things were quickly figured out, and the shock in his mind was inevitably at its peak. He knew very well that if Li Si's guess was valid, it meant that the monster that appeared in the Qin temple had been hiding for twenty years and had been dormant for twenty years. Once he came out of the mountain, I was afraid that the world would tremble for it.

Thinking of the tiger and wolf Qin, who was still terrified twenty years ago, Gongsun Yan shook his body, and was still a little unbelievable. After his expression changed continuously, he said: "These are just Brother Li's guesses. Let's not talk about whether Qin was dormant for twenty years as Brother Li said. Even if it is true, Zhao's troops are strong and powerful, destroying Wei and attacking Qi, the boundaries are so vast. His strength is still the first of all six countries today. It is only a matter of time for me to unify the world!"

When he didn't realize that he had a hint of suspicion when he said the last sentence, his tone was already a little suspicious. Gongsun Yan's face was completely gone. Li Si did not point out him, but just shook his head and chuckled: "It's like the rumors outside that Qin's civil strife was empty in the country, and there were still peerless monsters who had been dormant for twenty years in Qin, and the result would be seen soon."

Hearing Li Si's words, Gongsun Yan had a hint of confusion on his face, but he could only whisper the word "Han".

South Korea?

Gongsun Yan's mind quickly started to flow, and his pupils suddenly shrank slightly.

The offensive and defensive situation between Zhao and Qi actually started this year. Before that, Qi was suppressing Zhao. The reason was that after Zhao destroyed Wei in the south, its borders bordered South Korea. Zhao, who was dragged by South Korea, did not have enough troops to deal with Qi and could only passively defend Qi. However, since this year, Zhao has changed its normal state and put most of its troops into the eastern front and attacked Qi with all its strength. Only then can the situation in Qi be in chaos.

Then, Zhao ignored South Korea in the south?

Thinking of Qin mentioned earlier, and joining Zhao State to attack Qi, without paying attention to South Korea in the south, Gongsun Yan immediately understood.

"Brother Li means that Zhao and Qin have reached an alliance, and South Korea in the south has become Qin's goal. Therefore, Zhao can only attack Qi with all his worries?"

Seeing Li Si nodding, Gongsun Yan felt a stern and understood what he meant just now.

"If even South Korea cannot take it, Qin must be just like the outside world's rumors. Over the past twenty years, the national strength has not only not improved at all, but has even retreated.

If a battle defeats Han, it means that Qin is still the tiger and wolf Qin that dominates the west, and after twenty years of dormant, it will only be more terrifying and powerful than before."

Speaking of this, Gongsun Yan also knew that the hope of inviting Li Si to join Zhao with him was considered a failure, but he was still a little unwilling to give up. Since Li Si was sure that Qin was attacking Han at this time, he would definitely go to the capital of South Korea, Xinzheng, to watch the result of this battle.

"Brother Li already has a plan in his mind. He won't go to Zhao with me, and he will go to Xinzheng?"

Li Si nodded first and replied: "Yes, if Qin defeats Han in a battle, I will join the officialdom in Qin!"

Gongsun Yan sighed and bowed, "Everyone has their own ambitions. Since Brother Li has his own plans, Yan will not force it. But if Brother Li guesses, Qin and Zhao will inevitably fight in the future, and you and I will meet on the battlefield."

"Hahahahaha, it's a blessing for Li Si to meet Mr. Gongsun on the battlefield!"

"I can't ask for it either."

Both of them are famous people in the world and have long regarded each other as their opponents. They are eager to compete on the battlefield, so how could they be worried? After the two finally had a drink, they agreed to have fun meeting on the battlefield in the future.
