Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. 【Fengyun Reading Network. Li Yan felt that the Qin people were really a bunch of unscrupulous guys, and for the sake of profit, they could justify such a dangerous matter.

Zhang Yi saw it, patted Li Yan on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "You may think that the Qin people have no faith, but let me tell you, this is a troubled time, people who attach too much importance to faith and righteousness will get a good reputation, but they are destined to lose the world." In prosperous times, morality is important, and in troubled times, it is not surprising that power is relied on. ”

Li Yan nodded, and Zhang Yi said: "In the future, you are likely to be alone, you must remember this sentence no matter what, you must be upright and not dishonest to others, this is the foundation of life, but the major affairs of the country have nothing to do with being a man." Don't put your temperament as a human being on top of the foundation of the country. In that case, you will only gain your personal reputation, and the country will suffer. ”

After Li Yan listened, he was like an initiation, and suddenly realized.

Over the years, whether Li Yan is living, marching, fighting, or governing the locality, he has always reminded himself that he must be fair and upright, and must not have the slightest favoritism. He did the same to himself and to others, but he found that he could never really fit in with the Qin people, so he also studied the temperament of these Qin people in depth, and he found that these people treated their friends and family very well, but in the army, they treated their superiors and subordinates very differently. Qin people are absolutely and unconditionally obedient to their superiors, but they are arrogant and rude to their subordinates. And the subordinates have no complaints.

The strict hierarchy puzzled Li Yan. He had heard of some famous armies, such as the Yuejia Army, where the officers and their subordinates could get along like brothers, so Li Yan always thought that this was the highest ideal state of the army. And the phenomenon in the Qin army puzzled him.

The Qin people competed for the enemy's head in battle, and this Li Yan knew that the system of awarding knights by military merit was the foundation of the Qin army's strength. But what puzzled Li Yan was that the attitude of the Qin people towards the spoils of war, they never fought for the spoils of war like the official army or the peasant army, and all the captured loot, the Qin people would carefully receive one place, and the officers who managed the logistics were responsible.

Later, Li Yan realized that these things were issued with military merits. Those who have not received military merits will never dare to take the lead, and they will be killed. And the soldiers who snatch the spoils of war in battle, the Qin people look down on them very much, because that means that you have not killed a single enemy in battle.

As long as you kill the enemy, you will have military merits, you will be rewarded, and you will be awarded a knighthood, so as long as you have the enemy's head in your hand, you don't have to worry about the loot at all.

Whenever Li Yan went deep into the Qin people, he would feel that these Qin soldiers respected him very much, but they were estranged. His orders could pass through the army unhindered, but few would speak to him. He never understood why.

Li Yan once led the army to defend the last foothold of the Qin army when the Qin army was in the most danger, and the credit was great, and the Qin people respected him, which was the fundamental reason, but Li Yan never entered the hearts of these people. He was confused.

Now after listening to Zhang Yi's words, Li Yan suddenly realized, and his mouth suddenly opened.

The most fundamental reason why he can't integrate into the Qin army is his integrity, in fact, the sage has long said in the book, if the water is clear, there is no fish, and if the person is observed, there is no disciple, he Li Yan is like a spring water that is too clear, where can you raise fish?

Look at these Qin people around you, whether it is Zhang Yi, Bai Qi, Wang Qian, or his sworn brother Li Kang, they are all relatively upright, never corrupt the law, nor bully men and women, but in their hearts, they are never upright.

Zhang Yi deceived the six countries with a clever mouth, Bai Qi was scheming on the battlefield, killing countless people, and even killing pawns, Wang Jian can fight big battles, and he will also play smart, in order to dispel the suspicion of the king of Qin, he constantly asks for houses and real estate. In order to make himself stand out in the army, Li Dare did not care about life and death, and none of the Qin people felt strange about these things that these people did, and they all accepted it with the most ordinary mentality. Because in their eyes, what these people do is what they deserve. If I had changed myself, I would have done the same.

The Qin people are such a group of people, chasing fame and fortune.

Since Li Yan joined the Qin army, he has been growing, but he has never become a great talent, just because he doesn't know much about this truth, but after this battle, Li Yan has really matured.

From this moment on, he truly understood the rules of war, the rules of politics, after this battle, Li Yan finally broke through his bottleneck, his light began to break through the darkness, and eventually became a dazzling star.

After Zhang Yi said this, he went back to the tent to rest, and Bai Qi ordered the army to secretly pack up and prepare to leave.

As expected, Zhang Yi's trip to Li Zicheng's camp spread to all the camps before night. Because several other families and horses were put into Li Zicheng's army. The Fifth Battalion of the Revolution and Li Dingguo, Ma Jinzhong needless to say, he used to be an old acquaintance with Li Zicheng, and his subordinates were also familiar with the people in Li Zicheng's army, and it was effortless to inquire about the situation, Zhang Huangyan was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he had already secretly ordered his subordinates to buy several low-level officers in the Dashun army with heavy money, and they were also the generals of the former official army.

Although the generals didn't know what agreement Zhang Yi had reached with Li Zicheng on this trip, they all thought it was related to themselves. So they secretly sent their henchmen to the Qin military camp to ask to see Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi didn't see any of these people, and only let the Chinese army tell them that tomorrow would be clear, and then Zhang Yi would personally go to each battalion to explain the benefits and harms in detail.

When these people got the news, they immediately returned to the camp to deliver the letter, so the heads of each family were in their camps, waiting for Zhang Yi to come to the door.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yi brought a few followers and first came to the 5th camp of Gezuo and Ma Jinzhong's camp. These two groups were stationed in the south of the city, and the Qin army was in the west of the city, so they were not far away and arrived quickly.

Lao Huihui and Ge Liyan, Ma Jinzhong and the three of them happened to be together, and as soon as they heard that Zhang Yi had arrived, they were immediately invited in.

Zhang Yi was full of spring breeze, as soon as he entered the door, he said hello to everyone, Lao Huihui and others looked at Zhang Yi's face, and their hearts were a little calmer, and Ge Liyan asked: "Mr. went to the Dashun camp yesterday, can you mention the agreement with us?" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Naturally." King Li Chuang agreed. ”

The three of them glanced at each other, all of them were happy, and Ma Jinzhong said: "But I don't know how much food and military money the Dashun Army can give us?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Well, it's hard to say the specific amount, but General Ma can rest assured, King Li Chuang is a generous person, and he will definitely satisfy you." However, he also said that he asked General Ma to wait for a few days and wait for him to transfer all the supplies and send them together. ”

Ma Jinzhong nodded again and again.

Lao Hui replied: "The few counties proposed by my boss can be accepted now." ”

Zhang Yi said: "Naturally. However, you are going to take it from the hands of the Great Shun State, and our Qin army does not have an inch of land to be directly subordinate. ”

Lao Hui was stunned: "You didn't want it?" ”

Zhang Yi said: "Exactly, my Qin army is weak, what are you going to do?" At this time, we occupied Guanzhong and Hanzhong, and the troops were scattered a lot, and then we had to be in Zhili, and we really had no ability to defend it, so the King of Qin sent me over to negotiate with Li Zicheng, and the Qin army asked for three counties in Henan, and Zhili, all of them were sent to Dashun State. ”

Lao Huihui and Ge Li glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts that Zhang Yi was telling the truth. At this time, the Qin army had no strength to control Zhili at all. It is also reasonable for them to ask for a few places in Henan.

After getting this answer, everyone was satisfied, Zhang Yi didn't stay long, took people out, and went straight to Li Dingguo's army in the north of the city.

Seeing Li Dingguo, the two sides said simply, Li Dingguo originally according to Zhang Xianzhong's intentions, and did not plan to ask for territory, and Shanhaiguan also wanted to change the guard as soon as possible, and return Li Zicheng one day earlier, he would return to Sichuan one day earlier, as for the money, food, and military resources, Dashunguo can give it, and it doesn't matter if you don't give it, after all, you will lead the crowd to come, and there is no loss of a soldier or a soldier.

Zhang Yi said to Li Dingguo that Dashun had just controlled Zhili and the capital at this time, and the surroundings were not stable, and he had to come up with a lot of money and grain to reward several other families who had suffered heavy losses. Li Zicheng and the eight kings are close friends, regardless of each other, money and food is a trivial matter, and after a period of time, Dashun will straighten out all the places, and then reward, when the time will personally send someone to Chengdu.

Li Dingguo listened and expressed his gratitude to Zhang Yi. He was able to return to Sichuan with the whole division, and he had already completed what Zhang Xianzhong had explained, as for the money and food, after Zhang Xianzhong took Sichuan, he was already rich and well-fed, and there was no shortage. And this time, he regained Shanhaiguan without blood, which has greatly enhanced Zhang Xianzhong's prestige and gained enough prestige, so Li Dingguo agreed, and this made a deal with Li Zicheng to take over the defense of Shanhaiguan, and then he went back.

Zhang Yi left Li Dingguo's camp and turned back to the west of the city to see Zhang Huangyan, which was the most difficult side to settle. Because Zhang Huangyan's side of Sun Chuanting and Dashun are mortal enemies, people are looking at the face of the Qin army to send troops, and the Qin army has promised to give half of the Zhili to others, including the capital, at this time, they can't give other people's territory, so there must be an explanation.

Zhang Huangyan had been waiting in the camp for a long time, and when he saw Zhang Yi coming, he was very polite, and invited him to sit down and serve tea to entertain him.

Zhang Yi was full of sadness and sighed. As soon as Zhang Huangyan saw it, he knew that something was wrong, and asked, "Mr. had a meeting with Li Chuang yesterday, what was the result?" Zhang Yi sighed: "He repented of the contract." ”

Zhang Huangyan said angrily: "What? ”

Zhang Yi said: "According to the original agreement, after defeating the Qing army, the entire Zhili and the capital will be owned by my Qin army, and then we will divide half of it and give it to your majesty." But somehow, this agreement was known to Li Zicheng, and he used it as a reason not to fulfill the previous agreement. ”
