Zhan has never been so happy.

In these days, there was nothing on his face but a smile. Zhao Kuo's actions are so in line with the ideas of the farmers, and his every move, even the disaster prevention he wants to carry out this time, coincides with the thoughts of the farmers, and Zhan believes that Ma Fujun is a sage given to them by Shennong. And Mafu Township, perhaps because of Zhao Kuo, everyone is used to farming in person, and they are also used to treating the people kindly... It's the perfect place for a farmer.

There are no heavy taxes, no busy servitude, the peasants happily work in their own farmland, and the occasional passing by Ma Fujun's doormen will not bully them, some talk and laugh and chat with them, Ma Fujun even often goes down to the field to help some of the old people who are not young and strong at home, and the disciples of the peasant family finally see their ideal country, and they are soon busy.

They began to help Zhao Kuo to survey the surrounding farmland, the farmer has a way to improve the farmland, according to Zhan, the land can be optimized, they use silt to improve the dry land.... Zhao Kuo didn't know anything about these things, so he humbly asked Zhan for advice, and the two would often walk to the farmland far away to personally explore the quality of the land here.

It's just a few days later, Zhao Kuo took Zhan to the affected areas such as the Lieren, the terrain of the Lieren is lower, the water gathers on the road, Zhan rolls up his trouser legs, takes off his shoes, and jumps into the water, Zhao Kuo also hurriedly got out of the carriage, this flood is not the flood disaster that Zhao Kuo imagined, and did not see the picture of the houses being flooded and the livestock drowning, and the water seen was only gathered in a few small depressions.

The rest of the place was just wet, there was no water, and the ground had turned into silt, and walking in this muddy ground, below the calf, everything had become pitch black. The water had receded, leaving only some mud behind, and of course, some of the houses had fallen, and some of the lower ground had become large depressions, drenched everywhere. Zhan looked at these and said helplessly: "Water, drought, wind and snow, disease, locusts, these are the five evils that plague the people. ”

"The five evils are major disasters that endanger the lives and production of the people, so if a wise ruler wants to consolidate his own fellowship, it is imperative to sweep away the five evils... Especially the floods, which are the most severe. Zhan said, looked into the distance again, and said to Zhao Kuo: "This year is not allowed to farm... The water here is so bad that I think there will be heavy rains here in the near future..."

He shook his head and said with emotion: "You said that the construction of the canal can be implemented, but the construction of the canal is a very labor-intensive thing, requiring a large number of manpower and materials, if the monarch of Zhao Guoguo can fully support and mobilize the people of the two counties, it can be completed within four years." Zhao Kuo frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "I heard that there is a person in South Korea who is good at building channels, and I have sent someone to invite him, maybe he has a way." ”

Zhan nodded.

The two continued to explore the surrounding disasters, just when Zhao Kuo took Zhan to investigate, Di Huo rushed over, he came on a fast horse, regardless of the mud, and ran directly in front of Zhao Kuo, his face was full of smiles, Ge glanced at him with disgust, and said to Zhao Fu beside him: "He must have heard some news again." ”

"Shaojun! General Lian Po wins! ”

"Zheng Anping of the Qin State has surrendered!"

Di grinned and shouted, and the guests around him were a little surprised, how could General Lian Po have won the victory in less than a few months since he set out on the expedition? However, knowing the news of Lian Po's great victory, they did become happy, Di met everyone's eyes, and talked about the battle situation seriously: "General Lian Po left a partial division and pretended to be the main force, deliberately lost to the Qin people, and lured the Qin people to go deeper, but he directly cut off the Qin people's back road and burned their grain..."

"The Qin people are besieged on the hillside... There was no way to advance or retreat, General Lian Po defeated the Qin people in Anyang, and Zheng Anping surrendered! ”

Di talked about the war, as if he was telling a story, he said that Lian Po drove directly into the enemy's formation, grabbed Zheng Anping, and made Zheng Anping surrender, Zhao Kuo must not believe it, Di said, just believe in a general context, the details are completely implausible, pure nonsense. It's just that Zhao Kuo listened carefully to Di's explanation, but he felt that this style of play was somewhat familiar... How does this look like something that Bai Qi would do?

For example, today's heroes, the rulers are learning the thoughts of Ma Fujun, and the conquests are beginning to imitate Bai Qi's style of play, since Zhao Kuo seriously analyzed Bai Qi's art of war, and announced Bai Qi's movement warfare and annihilation war to the public, there are more Bai Qi in this world, although it may not reach the realm of the original Bai Qi, but to encircle the point to help, to destroy the enemy in the movement, are all learned.

"What about the casualties on both sides?"

Zhao Kuo opened his mouth to ask about the casualties.

"The casualties of the Zhao army were not large, but they lost more than 20,000 people, and the Qin people were killed a lot and captured a lot, I heard that General Lian Po took these prisoners, Zheng Anping, and was rushing to Handan..."

"Alas...", Zhao Kuo sighed and didn't speak again, Di said again: "Handan is very lively, Gu said that Shangjun is going to meet General Lian Po and Zheng Anping in person. ”

"There's more important news." , Di grinned, looked at everyone, and said: "I heard that this Zheng Anping became the general of Qin because of Fan Ju's recommendation, and now he surrenders, this is a capital crime, the law of Qin, the person who recommended him made a mistake, and the person who recommended him is guilty of the same crime!" ”

As he said, the defeat of the Qin army in Zhao Di shocked the Qin people, they had not suffered such a crushing defeat for a long time, and what surprised them even more was that Zheng Anping actually surrendered! Shameless surrender! In the eyes of the Qin people, this is undoubtedly the biggest crime. Bai Qi was the first to learn the news, knowing the Qin people's fiasco in Zhao Di, his eyes were full of anger, he really didn't understand, with so many elites, how could he be defeated so quickly?

This Zheng Anping, is he a person who doesn't understand military affairs at all?

He gave Zheng Anping an order before, not to let him besiege Handan, nor to let him march without authorization, but just to let Zheng Anping attack the nearby city and put pressure on Wei Wuji, which is good, because Zheng Anping's rash advance has brought a threat to Bai Qi, if Lian Po sends troops again and directly captures Shangdang, and the Four-Nation Alliance directly besieges the Qin people in Korea, it will be a threat to the Qin people!!

At this time, Jingyang, who had been defeated repeatedly, surrounded Chendu, leaving only a gap, and then he personally participated in the siege battle, in the name of recapturing the royal capital, launched a crazy attack on Chendu, Jingyang suffered more than 20 wounds, and finally attacked the city wall with soldiers, the Qin people were forced to retreat, Jingyang recaptured the Chen capital from the hands of the Qin people, and quickly launched an attack on Chengyang, Shangcai and other places, the bank of Rushui, and then fell into the hands of the Chu people again.

The situation gradually became somewhat unfavorable to the Qin State, and after the Qin people retreated, they gathered in Dengcheng, and the Qin army finally gathered in Korea, the Chu army in the southeast, and the Sanjin coalition army in the north, forming an oppressive trend against the Qin people from two general directions.

Qin State, Xianyang

King Qin looked at Fan Ju in front of him, Fan Ju knelt in front of King Qin, bent over, and maintained a posture of bowing to King Qin, he came to apologize to King Qin. Fan Ju was originally sitting in the courtyard of the house, studying the academic achievements of Ma Fujun, who had been sent recently, but he never expected that the doormen rushed in in a hurry and told him a frightening news, Zheng Anping surrendered to Zhao.

The bamboo slip in Fan Ju's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he was dumbfounded.

This is really an unwarranted disaster for Fan Ju, Zheng Anping, who had saved him and was recommended by him, surrendered so easily, and even said that he killed tens of thousands of soldiers who followed him into Zhao, Fan Ju almost fainted, stunned for a moment, he came to the palace, knelt in front of King Qin, and asked King Qin to put him to death. King Qin looked at Fan Ju's desperate face and sighed helplessly.

King Qin stood up, walked to his side, stretched out his hand, but helped him up with force.

"The most important thing at the moment is how to defeat the people of the nations, and these things will be talked about after the war is over." , King Qin said, Fan Ju understood what King Qin meant, made meritorious contributions, defeated the Four-Power Alliance, and eliminated the impact of this incident, Fan Ju clenched his fists, but he couldn't speak, the feeling of shame that had not appeared for a long time spread all over his body again, at this moment, he seemed not to be in the palace, but in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Wei.

Several men pressed him to the ground and beat him, no matter how he explained and begged for mercy, no one trusted him, no one took pity on him, he was pressed into the mud, and some people defecated on him and spit on him. Fan Ju suddenly retched, just in front of King Qin, he covered his throat and retched in pain, King Qin was startled, hurriedly stretched out his hand, grabbed his hands, and asked, "Uncle Fan?" How are you? ”

Fan Ju came to his senses and looked at King Qin in front of him blankly.

"Uncle Fan.. It doesn't matter, the widow will send someone to cut off Zheng Anping's head. King Qin said seriously.

Fan Ju shook his head and said: "The law of the Qin State was set by the Shang monarch when he was the king, and the minister recommended Zheng Anping to be the general, and he committed such a crime, I must accept the same punishment, the Qin State governs the country with the law, if you don't punish me, the people will criticize your behavior, and in doing so, it violates the system of the Qin State, which is not right, please punish you." ”

King Qin laughed, and he said: "People who are unheard of do not follow those worldly prejudices who pay attention to high morality, and those who have achieved great things do not consult with the countrymen. If a wise man can make the country rich and strong, he does not have to follow the old laws. If the people could benefit, they would not have to follow the old rites. You are in the Qin State, this is something that can make the country rich and strong, and it is beneficial to the people, so what if you violate the system? ”

Fan Ju was silent for a moment, but King Qin asked seriously, "May I ask the way to break the kingdoms?" ”

Fan Ju's face finally lost Fang Cai's despair, he quickly thought about it, and replied: "The Chu State has become chaotic because of those returning captives, although Huang Xie banned the circulation of horse clothing books and took all the sins, but this can't stop anything. There is a serious shortage of food in Chu State, and the people have no way to live, so the minister wants to send people into Chu State, borrowing Huang Xie to oppose peace, regardless of the people and other charges... Cause even greater chaos in Chu. ”

"The people of Chu have also experienced drills, they just lack armaments, and they lack a person to lead them."

"The nobles of the Chu State hate Huang Xie, this can also be used, as long as we negotiate peace with these people in private, hehe, we can see the infighting among the high-level leaders of the Chu State."

"And in the Wei State, if it weren't for the Plains King, the King of Wei would not have allowed Wei Wuji to lead the Wei army at all, and the ministers would find a way to expand the hatred between the King of Wei and Wei Wuji, so that the King of Wei would also have a jealous heart towards the Plains King... As long as the King of Wei can not follow the advice of the King of Pingyuan, the army of Wei will not attack itself, and the King of Wei will not have enough talent, but he always likes to give orders to command the army in person."

"There is nothing that Zhao can do at present, Zhao is in full swing, however, there are people in Zhao State, he has been trying to find a way to cause chaos within Wei State, and implement the plan to let Ma Fujun enter Qin, and the minister wrote to him, asking him to cause the contradictions he arranged desperately..."

"As for South Korea... Hahaha, the minister will write a letter to King Han. ”

Sure enough, Fan Ju quickly walked out of that depression and quickly started his own plan, King Qin also laughed, and said: "Fortunately, you have made arrangements in all countries in advance, otherwise, it is not so easy for Wu Anjun to defeat the countries...", this time, Fan Ju did not slander Bai Qi again, he said seriously: "Only Wu Anjun can face the alliance of the four countries so indifferently, and he can still play an advantage." ”

"If the Qin State only has ministers, there is no way to defeat the countries, all the ministers can do is to assist Wu Anjun to defeat the enemy for you."

King Qin laughed, held his hand, and said seriously: "The widow has Uncle Fan and Wu Anjun, so there is nothing in the world that can be feared by the widow." ”

The two sat down again, and then King Qin asked seriously: "How are the people who carried out your orders in Zhao State?" Fan Ju smiled and said seriously: "He did a good job, he found a stupid thing that can be easily used, I heard that he let this stupid thing bear a lot of charges in vain, this stupid thing is acting according to his plan, Wei Wuji, he can't go back to Zhao State." ”

"It's just that if he is allowed to carry it out now, the plan to force Ma Fujun to enter Qin may have to be delayed for a while."

"Hahaha, it's okay, Ma Fujun, sooner or later he will be a widow!"

"A monarch like Zhao Dan is not worthy!"

PS: It depends on who can connect the events that happened in Zhao State some time ago based on this dialogue.
