Chapter 12 The Wise Plan for the Rest of the World
Qin's road is the smoothest and widest among the countries, but the countries do not agree with this point of view, especially the country of the Three Jins, after all, it is a barbarian tiger wolf from the west, a barbarian country, and it is rude. They just relied on barbarism and cruelty to maintain a strong army, and they had no culture, no system, the Qin people lived in dire straits, how could Qin have such a wide road?
Even if Sanjin covered his eyes and shook his head frantically, shouting: I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen, it's all a lie! But Zheng Zhu's feelings are still very profound, there is no way, he is too close, even if he covers his eyes, he can always smell something.
The Qin people didn't even take the entire Shangdang County, and they had already started the work of building the party in Shangdang. Along the way, Zheng Zhu saw the Qin people wielding tools and building roads, and they wanted to integrate the Shangdang into the Qin road system. Zheng Zhu was initially complaining about the cruelty of the King of Qin, and he was pitying the Qin people's suffering, but the farther he went, the more Zheng Zhu dared not speak.
Zheng Zhu was scared.
Along the way, the Qin people he saw seemed to be crazy. The people who built the roads in Shangdang County were all the lowest-level people of Qin, but there was no trace of complaint on their faces, they had a resolute face made of loess, covered with hills and ravines, but they were extremely firm, their eyes were full of confidence, and they looked at Zheng Zhu's gaze with some disdain. Zheng Zhu walked all the way, and he didn't see a single lazy Qin person, even if they were sweating, they kept waving the tools in their hands.
It's not like you're busy with the country's affairs, it's like you're doing your own family business.
In Zhao State, only his own affairs will Zhao people care like this.
He didn't even see these people talking, they were very silent, concentrating on their own affairs, the division of labor was very clear, there were ten people on every other section of the road, consisting of a public servant and nine soldiers, Zheng Zhu sat in the carriage, he felt very weird, as if he was not advancing, but constantly repeating Fang Cai's journey, because the Qin people on each section of the road, from their physical appearance to their actions, were exactly the same.
"The road specifications in Shangdang County are different from Qin, so these people are expanding the road." , Meng Wu, who was in charge of the escort, explained with a smile, Zheng Zhu nodded, looking at the indifferent faces on the side of the road that stopped after seeing the carriage, but he couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart. Negotiate peace, we must negotiate peace, Zhao is not the opponent of Qin, no, any country, if it does not unite, is not the opponent of Qin!
The carriage drove towards Yin's City at a high speed, but Zheng Zhu's mood became more and more heavy.
And at this moment, Fan Ju's frame is also rushing towards Yin's city, as early as when he learned that Zhao Guo was going to send someone to negotiate peace, he left Xianyang and rushed in the direction of Shangdang County, Fan Ju knew very well in his heart that this battle was the most important war for Qin State, and this battle was won, and the long-distance and close attack was considered to have achieved the greatest results.
Fan Ju must rush to the party in person, otherwise, if he has to wait until Zheng Zhu comes to visit, I am afraid that he will have to wait for half a year, Fan Ju is anxious, what he hates most in this life is waiting, he wants to go to Shangdang in person, and meet Zheng Zhu on the way, in this way, it can not only save a lot of time, but also show the courtesy of the Qin people to the Zhao people. Sitting in the carriage, Fan Ju closed his eyes and thought about it.
Fan Ju attaches great importance to results, and many times, he feels that if one of his decisions does not bring double or even triple results, then his decision is a failure. Therefore, while still on the road, Fan Ju has already begun to think about what to do in order to make it more beneficial for him to come to the party in person.
Both of them were constantly instructing the pilots to speed up, each with their own mission, and after a long journey, they came to Yin City one after another.
As soon as the dusty old man Zheng Zhu got off the carriage, he saw a person running towards him in the distance, he lowered his head and ran forward in small steps, this is a posture that can only be posed when he greets someone more noble than himself, Zheng Zhu was shocked, at a loss, and before he could react, the person had already come to him, Meng Wu on the side widened his eyes, he was even more surprised than Zheng Zhu, when had he ever seen Ying Hou like this?
"Ju heard that Zhao has a virtuous Zheng Zhu, he is a philanthropic and elegant sage, even the king of Zhao will walk down from the carriage when he sees him, and the ministers will stop and salute when they see him, Ju is just a man with no talent, I can only use such a posture to meet you when I see you today." , Fan Ju leaned over and said, Zheng Zhu then understood who was in front of him.
"Zhu doesn't dare to accept such a big gift from you, you are a famous virtuous minister in the world, the king of Qin loves you very much, and everyone in the world admires you, how dare Zhu accept your gift? Please don't humiliate me like this again. Zheng Zhu hurriedly replied, Fan Ju smiled, stepped forward to take Zheng Zhu's hand, and said to the people around him: "Qin State and Zhao State are originally brothers, and villains like Feng Ting are obstructing them and making Qin and Zhao evil, I think this kind of war can be over!" ”
Meng Wu trembled, and hurriedly said, "But..."
"Shut up!" , Fan Ju reprimanded unceremoniously, Meng Wu lowered his head helplessly, and didn't say anything more.
Fan Ju then pulled Zheng Zhu towards the gate of the city, Zheng Zhu was already excited at the moment and couldn't speak, followed Fan Ju into the city, the people on the road saw Zheng Zhu was also very respectful, Fan Ju personally set up a banquet to entertain him, at the banquet, no one dared to humiliate Zheng Zhu, they were all greeting and agreeing, Fan Ju took his hand and said again: "Qin and Zhao are brothers with the same surname, Han and Wei are outsiders, brothers don't aim their spears at outsiders, but at themselves?" There is no such thing in the world. What do you think? ”
Zheng Zhu nodded and said excitedly: "What you said is very reasonable, the Qin State and the Zhao State should not fight. ”
After the banquet was over, Fan Ju even took Zheng Zhu into his room, and the two talked at night.
Zheng Zhu was very happy.
He burst into tears with excitement, sitting indoors, he held Fan Ju's hand, he couldn't stop the tears, he said: "I was very worried when I came, there was no way to promote Zhao Qin's collegiality, Zhao Guo has launched four times of youth, and I can't see young people with beards in the country, this is the season of farming, I didn't expect that you are such a noble person, I thank you for your hospitality." ”
"I hope that Zhao and Qin will not fight again, my son Ji, as a general of Zhao, he was killed by the Qin people, but I don't resent it, he died for the country, but I am very sad, I only have such a son, I hope the war can end as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more Zhao people, the son of the Qin people will die on the battlefield." , Zheng Zhu wiped his tears and whimpered again and again.
Fan Ju looked at him, but was a little speechless.
"Thank you, Ying Hou, Zhao Guoren will not forget your kindness, I am so happy, I have never been so happy since I died in the battle...", maybe it was because I drank too much wine, Zheng Zhu muttered like this, gradually fell on the bed, and fell asleep, still with a smile on his face, and tears. Fan Ju stood up and looked at the old man in front of him with a complicated expression, and finally just sighed without words.
I'm sorry, but if I don't do this, more sons of the Qin people will die on the battlefield.
The next day, Fan Ju took Zheng Zhu and embarked on the journey again, and the two were going to visit the King of Qin. On this trip, Zheng Zhu finally let go of the heavy mission, and Fan Ju was in a hurry, Fan Ju was not in a hurry, he took Zheng Zhu to watch the Qin State along the way, and explained it to him in person, Zheng Zhu of course was not in a hurry, after all, Fan Ju had promised him to negotiate peace, and the army of the Qin State had stopped attacking.
.....
Wei State, Great Liang.
"Now that the violent Qin has invaded us, captured the cities of Zhao, killed the officials of Zhao, Zhao and Wei are brothers, I ask Shangjun to send reinforcements to help Zhao and repel the invasion of the Qin people!" , Gongzi Zhao Yu respectfully bowed towards King Wei and saluted, and said sincerely.
Wei Wangyu, squinting his slender eyes, said unhappily: "I heard that Zhao and Qin are brothers, and they said that they want to crusade against my Wei together?" ”
"Shangjun can't believe these rumors, this is all a discordant plan of the Qin people." , Zhao Yu was shocked and hurriedly said.
"Rumors? This is what Fan Ju personally said to Zheng Zhu, the envoy of Zhao State, and now that the Qin people have stopped attacking, they have great respect for Zheng Zhu, and they also said that they want to form an alliance to deal with Wei State? Do you want to trick the Wei army into going to Zhao and annihilate our Wei army with the Qin people? Someone! Banish this lobbyist! Don't let him enter the land of Wei again!! The King of Wei shouted angrily.
More than a dozen warriors suddenly rushed out from around, grabbed Zhao Yu and took him out of the palace.
And this scene was constantly staged in the palaces of the kings sent by Zhao to ask for help.
