There were wars in Hebei and wars in Jiangdong. Even Qi was in flames of war and suffering unspeakably. The people hoped to destroy Qin and live a peaceful life, but Qin was already dead. Countries were at war. From then on, the war entered another world.

era.

Since Xiang Yu conferred the title of king, Tian Rong has not been given a satisfactory answer. Tian Shi, Tian Du, and Tian An each conferred the title of king, but Tian Rong's responsibility was ignored. This made Tian Rong feel that he had suffered great humiliation, and also made Tian Rong feel that he had been greatly humiliated.

He became hostile to Xiang Yu.

Later, Tian Du came to Zi to take office, preparing to take over Linzi and claim the throne. Tian Shi, who was supposed to leave for Jiaodong, was detained by Tian Rong. He used the excuse of "Xiang Yu is the only one and bullies our Qi people" to send troops to ambush Tian Du.

, Tian Du had a smooth journey and was not fortified. He was suddenly attacked and lost to Tian Rong. He threw away his armor and fled the battlefield.

Tian Shi, who had been watching the battle on the city tower, knew that Tian Rong's disobedience to Xiang Yu would inevitably bring a catastrophe to Qi, and the war was about to begin. In order not to die with Tian Rong, Tian Shi hurriedly left Linzi with his personal entourage and more than a thousand cavalry.

He went to Jiaodong, but was informed by Tian Rong who had returned in triumph. He hurriedly led an army of 10,000 to pursue Tianshi, killed Tianshi in the rebel army, and ordered Tianshi's leader to boost his army's prestige.

Later, Tian Rong led his army to march to Boyang to attack Tian An, the king of Jibei. The city of Boyang was undefended and he thought that the three parties were working hard and it was extremely stable. Suddenly, drums sounded loudly and various siege equipment went off. Tian Rong personally supervised the battle, that is, against

Boyang launched a fierce attack. In ten days and ten nights, Boyang was captured. Tian Rong continued to attack the remaining counties in Jibei and conquered them one by one.

After such tossing and twists and turns, several months passed. At this time, the land of Qi was completely controlled by Tian Rong. He ascended to the throne in the north of Linzi and proclaimed himself the king of Qi. He granted great titles to the generals and ordered the three armies to reject the Chu army.

Because Tian An, the king of Jibei, once came to congratulate Xiang Yu and congratulate him on his wedding, Tian Rongnai ordered Tian An's entire family to be executed angrily, and his heads were hung in the capital as a warning to others.

This day was the tenth day after Tian Rong became king. All the officials came to congratulate him. Tian Rong also dressed up and went out on this day. He was wearing a green python robe and looked majestic. After all the officials congratulated him, Tian Rong got up and wandered in front of the imperial case.

After a long time, Tian Rong

Asked: "I heard that Kuai Yue gathered tens of thousands of people and participated in the anti-Qin forces and joined Liu Bang's command. Later, he left Liu Bang and fought fiercely in Guandong. Now that Qin has been destroyed, Kuai Yue has nowhere to live and is wandering in the wilderness. But

Is this happening?"

The first general walked out of the train majestically, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Wang, this is indeed the case."

The speaker was Tian Rong's younger brother Tian Heng, who was worshiped as a general and was a person Tian Rong trusted greatly. At this time, he saw that Tian Heng had also heard about this and asked with a smile: "If I surrender him, who knows?"

Are you willing to surrender?"

"Kuai Yue has been wandering for a long time and may be difficult to restrain. Brother Wang, why don't you give him a title and let him increase his troops to attack Liang, as long as he is willing to obey the orders of Qi State." Tian Heng cupped his hands and said.

Many people in the hall agreed. At this time, Tian Rong also thought for a moment, nodded and said: "In that case, I leave this matter to you, and you must do it neatly for me."

…

After attending the court meeting, Tian Rong, surrounded by a hundred personal guards, arrived outside the east gate. A plainly decorated carriage had been waiting for a long time. Around him, more than a hundred soldiers in regular uniforms were waiting with swords. Soon, Tian Rong arrived

When we arrived at the carriage, an officer came up to us: "Your Majesty, we are ready. Shall we set off now?"

Tian Rong nodded, and then a soldier opened the curtain. Tian Rong stepped onto the carriage. Driven by the driver, the carriage drove away from the east gate of Qi Palace and headed towards the market.

After twists and turns, we came to an inconspicuous small courtyard. There were people guarding the entrance of the courtyard. When we saw the carriage coming, we wanted to step forward to stop it. However, we saw King Qi bowing his head and walking out of the carriage. The two guards immediately raised their hands and saluted.

Then, standing on both sides of the road, Tian Rong ignored the two of them and walked towards the small courtyard surrounded by his personal guards.

Soon, Tian Rong came to an inconspicuous small hut. A thick chimney was emitting black smoke above the small hut, and the sound of hammers clanging could be heard in the house. This was a steelmaking room.

Because the boiler was still burning and the room was very hot, Tian Rong entered the room and covered his nose with his sleeves. He walked to the boiler and took a look. At this time, Tian Heng, who had been watching the craftsman, noticed Tian Rong. He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Here

Brother Wang, please greet me."

Tian Rong smiled and waved his hand: "Brothers, why are you so polite?"

Tian Rong looked at the boiler again. The iron ore had been melted by the raging fire. At this time, Tian Rong asked: "Is it really possible to smelt iron ore into molten iron and make a sword?"

"Yes." Tian Heng responded, and then added: "This is a craftsman from Jiangdong, who is responsible for making swords there. He was invited by me just because he came back to visit relatives, and I even coaxed him into making swords.

"

Speaking of this, Tian Heng walked to the box beside him and opened it. He took out a forged iron sword from it and handed it to Tian Rong. He said with a smile: "The Chu army is basically equipped with such a sword."

The sword is extremely sharp and has high toughness. When the copper sword touches it, it is as soft as soil and can be easily cut in half. Therefore, if our army can equip such a sword on a large scale, its combat effectiveness will at least be enhanced.

three times."

Tian Rong looked at the sword in his hand in disbelief. He called over a follower and ordered: "Bring your sword."

The personal attendant took out the copper sword from his waist and handed it to Tian Rong. Tian Rong slashed at the copper sword with the iron sword. Sure enough, as Tian Heng said, the copper sword was cut open. At this time, Tian Rong looked at the iron sword with burning eyes.

, he then looked at the blacksmith who was still making swords not far away, and said solemnly: "How long will it take for our army to make swords on a large scale?"

"I have selected a thousand craftsmen to come here to study and imitate the Chu people to make bellows. If nothing happens, I can have the craftsman shop fully operational in half a month."

Tian Rong patted Tian Heng's shoulder with satisfaction and said: "There are also iron guns, iron spears and iron arrows. In short, I will leave this matter to you."

Tian Heng nodded. At this time, an officer walked in from outside the door. He was Tian Rong's personal guard. At this time, he came to Tian Rong and whispered to Tian Rong: "There is news from the other side of the palace. Chen Yuqian

Come visit.”

"Chen Yu?" Tian Rong couldn't help but be surprised. He looked at Tian Heng aside and asked, "What will happen if Chen Yu comes to Qi State at this time?"

Tian Heng was also surprised. He couldn't help but smile and said: "No matter what reason he has for coming to our place, why don't Brother Wang meet him?"

…

When Tian Rong returned to Qi Palace, it was already dusk, and the sky was getting dark. Tian Rong did not stop after getting off the carriage, and hurried back to his side hall, preparing to meet Chen Yu here.

Soon after, a man from Pi brought tea and reminded him personally: "Your Majesty, Chen Yu has arrived and is waiting outside the palace."

Tian Rong was interrupted from thinking. He looked at Bi Ren and said loudly: "Bring him in."

Soon, Chen Yu was led by Bi Ren to the side hall, and after meeting Tian Rong, the guests and hosts took their seats. At this time, Bi Ren returned again, brought another cup of tea and placed it in front of Chen Yu, and then left again.

There was a brief silence in the side hall, and Chen Yu was also thinking about how to speak. Since the battle of Julu, Chen Yu and Zhang Er had a falling out, and he led his followers to live in seclusion in Nanpi.

The feudal lords were enfeoffed, and everyone could be granted the title of king, but he was granted the title of a prince. Imagine that he and Zhang Er started the rebellion at the same time, and they had the same achievements. Why should Xiang Yu despise him?

Moreover, since the Qin State was destroyed, Xiang Yu relied on his strength to move King Zhao Xie to Dai County. What a huge insult. Is it possible that the Zhao State will change its surname to Zhang from now on? Does Zhang Er have the final say?

Chen Yu couldn't swallow this tone, but with his own strength, Chen Yu couldn't move Zhang Er at all, so he thought of Qi State, and Tian Rong, who had just unified Qi and was also at odds with Xiang Yu. Today, he rushed

Come and convince Tian Rong to help him revitalize the State of Zhao.

But after the two of them sat opposite each other, Chen Yu didn't know where to start. He took a few sips of tea in his cup and thought slowly until the time passed by. If he didn't say something, he would

When he was rude, Chen Yucai sighed softly, looked at Tian Rong who was always staring at him and sighed: "The way of heaven is unfair, I came here to seek refuge with the king."

"Oh? Why do you say God is unfair?" Tian Rong smiled meaningfully. He could see that Chen Yu was definitely not here to surrender.

When Chen Yu saw Tian Rong asking himself, he couldn't help but sigh: "In order to overthrow the violent Qin, anti-Qin forces from all over the country rose up and fought against each other, but they chose to make a wedding dress for the Xiang family, so that Xiang Yu became the overlord of Western Chu.

throne, can

But he is not satisfied, and uses his strength to bully us. Just imagine how much energy your king put in fighting Qin to regain Qi, but Xiang Yu issued an edict and divided the country into three places, but there was no fiefdom for your king. This

Is it fair?”

When Chen Yu said this, he glanced at Tian Rong and saw that he was filled with anger, so he continued: "I was as famous as Zhang Er and went to Zhang Chu State together. Later, I was ordered by King Chen Sheng to recover Zhao State and made great contributions.

But Xiang Yu wants to move to the throne of Zhao and allocate Zhao land to Zhang Er. Just imagine, Zhang Er can still get a piece of land, am I, Chen Yu, worthy of being a waiter?"

When Tian Rong heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore and hit the table angrily. After a muffled sound, Tian Rong stood up and said angrily: "Why should I be afraid of Xiang Yu?"

At this time, Chen Yu saw that his goal had been achieved and Tian Rong was angry. Anger would blind his eyes, and he should take advantage of this moment to persuade Tian Rong. He sighed and said again: "Now that King Zhao has been moved to the throne,

The land of Zhao was occupied by Zhang Er, Qi lost its good allies, and there were many wars in Hebei, and Han Guang was killed by Zang Tu. If the king had not planned a retreat early, I am afraid that sooner or later he would have to face a battle with the Chu army.

The situation, at that time..."

Chen Yu stopped talking. He looked at Tian Rong. It wasn't until Tian Rong asked him about his true purpose that he spoke out what was in his heart: "If your Majesty can lend me a force of powerful troops, revitalize the Kingdom of Zhao and welcome back the King of Zhao."

, I would like to guarantee with my head that Zhao will always be an ally of Qi, helping each other to resist the Chu army."

After hearing this, Tian Rong fell into deep thought. After a long time, Tian Rong slammed the table and said resolutely: "I will let Tian Jie lead an army of 20,000 to help you retake Zhao Di. How about that?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Yu knelt down on one knee and saluted. At this time, Tian Rong said again: "But don't forget your oath today. You and I should work together to fight Chu in the future."
