Chapter 195: Murder and Heart
In the eighth year of King Zhao, Zhao took Xinlingjun as his general and led 80,000 elite soldiers to attack the party to solve the crisis of Chu.
Under the persuasion of Pingyuan Jun, the King of Wei sent Zhao Mao Sui as a general, led 50,000 troops, and attacked Shangdang from Korea across Sanchuan, and the King of Han increased his troops by 20,000 and joined forces with Wei. The Three Kingdoms Coalition Army attacked Shangdang, and the Qin State was shocked, with the five doctors Wang Ling as the general, led troops to reinforce Shangdang and blocked the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
At this moment, the main army of the Qin State gathered around Nanyang and confronted the Chu people through Rushui, but it was the remnants of the Chu general Jingyang who defeated the Qin troops around Chendu, advanced the defense line to Rushui, and counterattacked Shangcai. Although General Jingyang experienced a big defeat, but this did not make him depressed, and even, this made him more shrewd, during the battle, he was not drunk, took the lead, led the Chu army to attack, and in one fell swoop eliminated the Qin army that occupied Yangcheng, the side of Deng.
From a geographical point of view, from Shangdang, to Sanchuan, and then to Nanyang, the confrontation line between the Qin State and the princes has stretched for thousands of miles, and Jingyang has once again had the strength to fight with Bai because of the reinforcements deployed by Chunshenjun in Juyang, plus the reinforcements of 150,000 from the Three Jins, and once again occupied an advantage in terms of troops. And Bai Qi must also divide his troops into the Sanchuan Shangdang, so as not to be empty in the rear and be attacked by Wei Wuji.
The battlefield between the two sides gradually expanded, and a big war was about to break out.
On the day of Wei Wuji's expedition, Zhao Kuo came in person to see him off, in fact, King Zhao really wanted Ma Fujun to be a general, after all, Ma Fujun repeatedly repelled Bai Qi's attacks, and was the general that King Zhao relied on the most, but Wei Wuji did not agree, he asked King Zhao to take himself as a general on the grounds that he was more suitable to command the Zhao and Wei coalition forces, and King Zhao had to agree to him.
King Zhao also came to see Wei Wuji off in person, and when Wei Wuji left, he still held Wei Wuji's hand tightly, not only to ask him to take care, but also to smile and say to him: The widow heard that the king of Qin was a talented sage... and his lieutenant Zheng Anping, the county guard of the Shangdang Wang Ji... King Zhao could almost recite the other party's list of generals, which made Wei Wuji cry and laugh, and promised King Zhao that he would definitely arrest them if he had the chance.
King Zhao originally wanted Lian Po to serve as Wei Wuji's lieutenant, however, Lian Po was not happy, he was arrogant, even if he had a good relationship with Wei Wuji, he was unwilling to give Wei Wuji, who was younger than himself, to be his lieutenant, King Zhao had to change to Le Jian as his lieutenant general, Le Jian did not have such arrogance, previously in South Korea, he was broken by Bai Qi once, which made him feel a huge shame, and vowed to take revenge on the Qin people.
When Zhao Kuo stood outside the school grounds, the soldiers of Zhao Guo cheered, that is, King Zhao personally came to see them off, they were not so excited, the soldiers who recognized Zhao Kuo, looked in the direction of Zhao Kuo, Zhao Kuo smiled back, the soldiers were even more excited, Zhao Kuo smiled, watching these young people happily set off towards the party, but it was really not a taste in his heart, he didn't know how many of these people would come back alive in the end.
He suddenly had an impulse to get up and stop King Zhao and tell him to make himself a general. With these brave Zhao people, he completed the feat of being a king in the world, but when Zhao Kuo came to his senses, the cold reality shattered all his illusions, Zhao State is not the opponent of Qin State, this is not something that can be changed by winning a few wars, Qin State is fundamentally not at the same level as other countries.
The most advanced system makes it impossible for the Qin State to fail, and no matter how many defeats it encounters on the battlefield, the Qin State can recover from it... And their system is something that other countries can't replicate, perhaps, each country is missing a Shang Yang who can quickly cut through the mess, if it can make the Zhao people less disaster, Zhao Kuo is willing to be the Shang Yang of the Zhao State, even if it is at the cost of death in the end, but the problem is that it is too late now.
The reform of the Qin State Shang Ying, up to now, has been carried out for one hundred and two years. A full hundred years of changes have allowed the Qin State to lead the countries in all aspects, whether it is in war, or internal affairs, diplomacy, the unification of the Qin State is not an accident, he is a long-term accumulation, from quantitative to qualitative changes. Zhao Kuo knew in his heart that even if he became the merchant of Zhao State, Qin State would not give Zhao State a hundred years to change the law.
And the Qin State, which has a superior system, will even take the initiative to absorb the advanced systems shown by various countries, and will not stop the pace of progress.
This made Zhao Kuo very desperate.
It was a deep sense of powerlessness in the face of the trend of this era, he felt more and more that he was insignificant, powerless, he wanted to set up a supervision system in Zhao, which was opposed by everyone, and Qin State, at this moment, has completed the preliminary supervision system, and all his actions to protect Zhao seem to be promoting the demise of Zhao.
And what made Zhao Kuo most painful was that in the body of this young warrior of Zhao State, there was a soul from thousands of years later, in the eyes of that soul, all the people in this era were his own people, and he couldn't be ruthless to kill the Qin people, or the Yan people, the Chu people... Zhao Kuo used to lead his soldiers to fight with the nations, but in the end, he still let go of the captives, and it was for this reason.
Zhao Kuo would wonder if he should abandon everything and rush to the Qin State to help the Qin State unify the world and completely end the war. However, many faces appeared in his mind in an instant. Mother, Wei Wuji, Xu Li, Lin Xiangru, Le Yi, Lian Po, Riding Robber.... How should those who trust themselves, help themselves, and love themselves face them?
Zhao Kuo stood on a high place, looking at the army of Zhao that gradually disappeared in the distance, the wind blew, making his clothes bulge and make a sound in the wind, he frowned, with the suffering of the world in his heart, with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, as if looking for hope.
The disciples stood around, they stared at the teacher standing on a high place, this scene, it seems to be a little beautiful?
"Teacher... What are you looking at? ”
"Future."
"What kind of future?"
"A great future."
Zhao Kuo took his disciples back to the school again, during this period, he and his disciples co-edited the first book, "Tax Theory", officially completed, "Tax Theory", is a book on taxes compiled by Zhao Kuo and his disciples, and it is also the first doctrinal work completed by Zhao Kuo after coming to this era, which contains a total of twelve chapters, each chapter, in the form of questions and answers, is the answer between Zhao Kuo and his disciples.
From the basic principles of taxation, the interpretation of taxation, to the several forms of taxation, the development process and future trends, to the advantages and disadvantages of tax laws in various countries, and most importantly, how to reasonably collect taxes... Because Zhao Kuo's disciples come from all over the world, they provide an accurate form of national taxes, plus Zhao Kuo's many imaginations, this book is exceptionally comprehensive, and even, Zhao Kuo calculates the tax changes of various countries through mathematics, with rigorous calculations.
Mathematics in this era was not as backward as Zhao Kuo thought, and mathematics occupied an important position in the basic education received by the aristocracy. People in this era have a strong interest in mathematics, Zhao Kuo was surprised to find that his disciples have mastered the complete decimal position value system notation, and advanced calculation tools such as arithmetic chips have also appeared.
Not to mention the basic four operations, even fractions, area measurements, etc., they are not weak, the current mathematical knowledge is mainly based on square field (plane geometric figure area calculation), corn (proportional conversion of grains), difference (proportional distribution problem), Shaoguang (open square, open square), business (earth and stone engineering, volume calculation), average loss (reasonable apportionment of taxes), equations, win insufficient (double method problem), side (Pythagorean)...
Zhao Kuo sometimes felt that these people were much better at mathematics than himself.
It is precisely because of this knowledge that the disciples also helped a lot when they carried out the calculation of taxes, Zhao Kuo directly used Arabic numerals to calculate, and the way he performed the operation was learned by the disciples, which accelerated the efficiency of their calculations, and the disciples were very surprised, they did not expect that the teacher also had such deep attainments in arithmetic, so they began to ask Zhao Kuo about mathematical problems.
Zhao Kuo trembled and answered a few questions, but he couldn't answer anymore... It's also too hard.
Zhao Kuo's disciples copied the "Tax Theory" several times, of course, all in their own country's words, Zhao Kuo quietly watched them copy, he could only hope that his efforts could play a role, so that all countries can change the current unreasonable, the same tax rate as killing chickens and eggs. After completing the "Tax Theory", Zhao Kuo took his disciples to study the content of the rule of officials.
Zhao Kuo listed in detail what he knew about filial piety, the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, the imperial examination system, and even the civil service examination, discussed with his disciples, and listed the talent election laws of various countries, the promotion laws of officials, and compared the advantages and disadvantages...
Just when Zhao Kuo was busy with academics, there was an undercurrent flowing in Handan again. Wei Wuji's departure seemed to give some people hope again, as if they had found that the house cat had left, sneaking out of the darkness, baring their hideous teeth, and wanting a beautiful feast.
In Pingyang Jun's mansion, Zhao Bao lowered his head, thinking about Chang Anjun's proposal. Chang Anjun sat in front of him, eager to try, a little impatient, Zhao Bao was much calmer, he thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "No... I am afraid that this will lead to the loss of the war, Wei Wuji and the soldiers of the Zhao State are preparing to fight the Qin people, although I really want to drive him away, but I can't oppose him at this time, I will support him, and deal with him after his victory. ”
Chang Anjun was stunned for a moment, and then said with some annoyance: "Shangjun regards him as a confidant, he is in Handan, what chance do we have?" If you don't make arrangements now, you will definitely regret it! Zhao Bao straightened his waist and looked at Chang Anjun seriously, he said: "No, if you take advantage of Wei Wuji's absence in Handan and do something to him, this is a villain's move, and it is an act of disregarding the safety of Zhao Guo, I will not agree." ”
Chang Anjun sighed, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Zhao Bao stood up and said to Chang Anjun: "Without my order, you are not allowed to do it without permission, Zhao is the Zhao State of the Zhao family, if the Zhao State is destroyed, we are not even slaves, you have to remember!" After he finished speaking, he left the inner room, Chang Anjun stood up, bowed respectfully, and sent Zhao Bao away, he got up at this time, but his face was full of disdain, this uncle, everything is good, but he is too timid.
This reminded Chang Anjun of the past, back then, his father arranged a cowardly maid for himself, and he always tried to scare her, and later, because he hated her screams, he cut off her tongue... Chang Anjun had a smile on his face, alas, they were all ridiculous things he did when he was young, I still remember that my father was furious and wanted to punish himself, he hugged his mother and cried, and in the end there was no punishment, just a new maid.
Since my uncle doesn't dare to do it, then I'll do it for him, it's a big deal, and then I'll just cry while holding my mother's spiritual position.
At night, Chang Anjun quietly left here and rushed to a courtyard in the city, where there were already people waiting for him, there were not many people, they were all sitting in the courtyard carefully and vigilantly, hiding in the night, Chang Anjun swaggered in and said loudly: "I take Pingyang Jun's order!" Everyone bowed to him, and Chang'an Jun smiled shyly and hurriedly returned the salute to them.
.............
Jingyang stood on the shore of Rushui, staring into the distance, he would never forget the humiliation he had endured on the other side. Chu has always had the habit of overthrowing the army and killing generals, but Jingyang did not commit suicide, perhaps, now is not the time, Jingyang quickly came to Chendu with his men and horses after a little rest in South Korea, and the first thing he did was to bow down to Xiang Yan, the young general stationed in Chendu.
Xiang Yan was very surprised, and everyone was puzzled.
Jingyang said: This is for General Xiang Xian, he didn't follow his advice at the beginning, and he killed him.
Xiang Yan didn't blame Jingyang, he looked a little silent, he was like this by nature, after his brother died in battle, he was even more silent, he took his soldiers to obey Jingyang's arrangement, Jingyang after attracting the rout troops from all over the country, organized the army again, and advanced all the way to Rushui, at this moment, he could vaguely see the smoke rising from the other side of the river, Jingyang did not dare to venture again, and led people to resist the shore, this time, he did not kill the Chu people who were threatened by the Qin people.
Jingyang knew what he had to do, Zhao and Wei were ready to attack from Shangdang, then he had to drag Bai Qi's main force, drag the main force in the territory of Chu, and give the Zhao Wei coalition army a chance to defeat the Qin people.
"Huh?"
Jingyang suddenly saw the boats on the water, he stood up with some surprise, looked into the distance, I don't know when, a lot of ships appeared on the water, and they were slowly moving towards the Chu army, Jingyang had not yet commanded, the Chu people had already made a defensive posture, took out the bow and crossbow, and aimed it in the distance.
Jing Yang squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.
If the Qin people attacked, shouldn't they use such a small fishing boat?
Some, it seems, something is wrong, right?
ps: Wow, dizzy, it feels like it really affects the creation... I've had injections for two days, and I haven't gotten better, I don't know what's wrong, it seems that it's time for me to exercise to lose weight....
