Chapter 43 of the Six Kingdoms Expedition
Qin Zheng saw that Lu Pheasant was preaching with a calm face, and he was a little disapproving, and his voice was a little playful: "Oh? What's wrong? ”
The same sentence will naturally have different consequences for different people, and when Lu Pheasant used this sentence to teach his Ying's childhood, it was really because Liu Ying didn't know the sinister nature of human nature, and he didn't want to think deeply about the evil of human nature. Or even if he knows that the world is terrible, he still has a trace of kindness. He can be self-righteous and kind, but he is burdened with scolding to shield him from the wind and rain.
On the contrary, Qin Zheng has already experienced the ugliness of the world, whether it is the stranger who bullied him in his early years, Qin Yiren who abandoned his wife and fled alone, or the Empress Dowager Xia who was disgusted with him. Except for the company of the Queen Mother, I have never received any other warmth.
Lu Xiang supported Yiren for his own position, and he also received excess returns on Qin Zheng, and he dared to call Qin Zheng "middle father", naturally for the sake of profit. If it is said that there is no selfish person in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, Lu Pheasant himself is speechless. It's just that if it is said that none of the ministers under the court are loyal to the king of Qin, it is even more biased.
She wanted to prevent Qin Zheng from plunging headlong into the world of hatred and narrow-mindedness, and she said to Qin Zheng with a solemn face: "Zhibo is dead, and his subordinates have surrendered and fled." Only Yu let Zhao Xiangzi stab Zhao Xiangzi three times, one of which was a deception and wanted to assassinate Zhao Xiangzi in the toilet.
The second lacquer body swallowed charcoal and begged in the city, and then stabbed Zhao Xiangzi on the bridge. In the end, Zhao Xiangzi couldn't bear to sacrifice clothes to Yu Rang, and Yu Rang committed suicide with three stabs with a dagger. Such a character is worthy of loyalty. The reason why Yu Rang is so desperate is because Zhibo treats him as a countryman. This can be described as the death of a confidant. ”
"Yu Rang is indeed worthy of this, and the kindness and righteousness are clear." Qin Zheng thought that he had never had such a courtier, and he was very envious of Zhibo, who could be served by such a loyal person.
She saw that Qin Zheng had not yet realized the problem, and gave another example close to her: "In the past, Corporal Wei Xinling Jun Lixian personally drove for Hou Huan, congratulated him on his birthday, and visited the butcher Zhu Hai many times. In the siege of Handan, Xinling Jun listened to Hou Ying's words and stole talismans to save Zhao, and Zhu Hai hammered the general Jin to death. Hou Yingnian was too weak to fight, so he killed himself at home. Such a character is also loyal and extraordinary.
Not to mention the Xinling Jun Yu Zhao Demao Gong and Xue Gong, it is said that the Xinling Jun returned to Wei to save the country, so that the power of the five countries of Xinling Jun shocked the world. There must be courtesy to others first, and then you can get the talent in the wilderness. If the king of Xinling is like the king, he feels sorry for himself every day and does not believe in his subordinates, how can he be virtuous and defective? ”
Qin Zheng thought about the story of Xinling Junde, the sworn enemy of the Qin State, and fell into deep thought. Xinlingjun is only one person, but he can move the world, and the power of one person can turn the tide. Even if he was an enemy of the Qin State, Qin Zheng had to admit that he did have something extraordinary.
Zheng Linggong got the food and didn't want to share it with Gongzi Song, and Gongzi Song personally tasted it. The monarch and the minister were jealous, the son Song killed the king, and Zheng was in turmoil. It is also necessary to learn from it. The king was worried about the disloyalty and unrighteousness of his subordinates, so he should not pay them first. In the past, since the king was able to give up a garden and get countless pillars, why not give up his pride and get countless loyal ministers today? Her eyes were so bright that Qin Zheng couldn't look at him directly, and Lu Pheasant was looking forward to Qin Zheng's response.
The three positive and negative examples, which are only hundreds of years away and only a few decades close, have to make Qin Zheng think deeply. As the head of a country, he wants to summon talents, but he doesn't know when they will wait for them to recommend themselves. Only when you ask for it in person can you say that you can move the virtuous ministers.
His eyes gradually lit up, and he smiled at Lu Pheasant and said, "The pheasant is the widow's Hou Huan, not only did he not solve the widow's doubts, but also recommended the virtuous ministers for the widow." It seems that the widow should treat the pheasant with the courtesy of a countryman. ”
"How can I compare with the old Hou Ying, I often hear 'Ms. Qi'er', the king, please treat me as a lady." Lu Pheasant joked at Qin Zheng and said, he didn't want to really do anything.
Qin Zheng put his left hand on top of his right hand, bowed his head to his hand, and bowed to his hand and said, "Then please ask Ms. Zi to advise the widow more in the future." ”
In this way, she could not remain indifferent, so she had to perform the solemn ritual of a woman, put her right hand on her left hand, raised it until her forehead and then slowly drooped down to her chest and abdomen, and replied: "The king loves him so much, and he dares to disobey his fate." ”
After that day, Lu Pheasant often recalled the past when the two knew each other, and even remembered the dumbness of Qin Zheng when she first saw her that day.
Time flies, summer goes and autumn comes. Outside the watermill you can often see people carrying grain to husk or grind, and the Lantian camp outside the city also recruited enough soldiers, about 100,000 people. Lantian was originally established to defend against the Chu state, and after the Chu state moved its capital to avoid war, its importance has dropped significantly.
The spies of the six countries in the city didn't know where Qin Zheng's soldiers were sent this time, so they had to report to their own monarch quickly. Lu Gong was also summoned by Qin Zheng to meet and give him the opportunity. He had to undertake the communication with Nanyang to help the Qin army settle down in Nanyang early and attack Xinzheng.
In this battle, Qin Zheng has entrusted Wei Yi to make sufficient preparations, and if it is effortless to occupy Nanyang, he can collect the government and continue to attack the east, and strive to destroy Han in a war. The state of Qin was like a huge war machine, with pavilion chiefs and village servants going door to door from the countryside to recruit adult men who should serve in the army. Except for the eastern counties, which are far away from the capital, the meeting place is set in the local area. Guanzhong basically converged in Xianyang, and a few days of drills have been conducted.
The management of the military camp was strict, and Lu Pheasant followed his father and brother to watch the Qin people practice martial arts outside the camp. The veteran soldier who had been working in the village for a year quickly adapted to the rhythm of the army, and only the new soldier still made some mistakes occasionally although he had undergone military training before he arrived.
The army formation of several thousand people marched neatly to the sound of drums, practicing forward and backward turning, and dust and fog rose on the playground. A huge army of 100,000 people followed the same orders, their footsteps neat and powerful, and at the same time stomped on the ground and caused the ground to shake gently. The people watching from outside the camp exclaimed.
Lu Pheasant asked Lu Shizhi with a smile: "Second brother is still willing to join the army?" It's hard to serve in the army, and besides, you're not old enough, and your father is only going as a messenger, so how can he take you with him? ”
It turned out that Lu Shizhi heard that Lu Gong was going to South Korea with the army, because he couldn't go, and he was still losing his temper before he came. Le Zi was carefully telling Lu Gong: "Be more careful on the battlefield, follow General Meng, don't be reckless." ”
Hearing this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly persuaded: "I will only go to Nanyang with the army, and I can return to the country after Nanyang surrenders to Qin." ”
Lu Gong separated from his family one by one and entered the tightly guarded army, and Lu Pheasant and his family returned the same way and did not mention it for the time being.
A pawn checked Lu Gong's pass and led him to the camp, and the short soldiers guarding outside the camp checked Lu Gong's pass before entering the tent to report to Meng Wu.
Meng Wuzi's heir was in Guoxue, and he occasionally met Lu Gong once or twice. When he said goodbye to Qin Zheng from the capital, Qin Zheng also asked him to take good care of Lu Gong, saying that it was very important that he was an acquaintance of Nanyang's fake guard.
He hurriedly put down the map in his hand and personally went out to greet him. The two looked at each other, but Lu Gong first arched his hand and said: "I have heard the name of the general for a long time, and it is indeed worthy of being a famous general and governing the army rigorously." Meng Wu saw that Lu Gong was humble and polite and returned the salute and said: "The environment in the army is not as good as that in the city, I am afraid that I have wronged Mr." ”
The two complimented each other and entered the tent to discuss the matter of Nanyang in detail.
When the sergeant went on this expedition, he found that the food he often ate had been replaced by food made from wheat flour. Of course, it does not mean that there is no rice milled rice available in the army, but the amount of milled rice has decreased a lot. Wheat flour is easy to make, and can be loaded with more food, which is really the best food for the march. Officers with slightly higher ranks naturally had to choose whether to try pasta or continue to eat polished rice, and there was no problem for them.
After more than ten days of training, the day of departure has arrived. The people of the Lu family looked at General Meng Wu outside the gate, and behind the car, there was a big scroll with white characters on a black background, saying General Qin. After that, the three armies went out of the gate neatly, and finally there was the baggage team, and the domestic baggage team did not seem to have too many soldiers and horses to escort.
Lu Pheasant looked at the army that had disappeared from a distance and was silent for a long time, and persuaded him: "South Korea is a weak country, and it will be destroyed overnight, so my mother should go home and wait." ”
They got into their own carriage and embarked on the completely opposite road back to Xianyang.
In fact, among the three armies that Lu Pheasant thought, there were still some newcomers who had just graduated from Qin Guoguo to study law for a period of time. At that time, Qin Zheng thought that South Korea was stable and could not be governed by Qin officials, so he stuffed some of the older students with excellent academic performance in the Chinese culture into the army after graduation, and waited for the destruction of Korea and distributed them to the lower counties to serve Qin.
This can only make up for a small part of the lack of low-level officials, and more importantly, some of the literate and law-literate officers in the army will be assigned to serve in local posts for a period of time.
Ye Teng of Nanyang naturally got the news that the army of Qin was going east early, and the three families of Chu, Zhao and Han trembled, I don't know where the sword of King Qin is pointing this time, but he knows that this time it is the battle of South Korea's annihilation.
He calmed the hearts of the people in the city on the surface, secretly grasped the control of the local military power, and infiltrated many guards. Shortly after the autumn, before he could wait for the Qin army, he heard news from Guozhong that the Wei state had invaded the eastern border of Korea and was besieging Xinzheng with a large army.
This is! It's a two-pronged approach. Somehow, he thought of the girl who often showed a shining light in his mind, and such a plan really didn't leave any life for King Han.
Gongzisheng heard that the Eastern Wei State was attacking, and hurriedly asked Ye Teng to open the treasury, and he wanted to bring money to the Chu State. His thoughtful Ye Teng really wanted to capture it and give it to King Han, and he righteously and sternly rejected Gongzi Sheng, who was very scheming. He was not heard from for the next few days.
When the Qin army knocked on him, he sent someone to ask Gongzi to win, but found that his mansion in the city had been cleaned and slipped away from the city at some point. He has a lot of eyeliner in the city, and he doesn't know when he left the city. After careful investigation, it was found that his mansion had a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, which may have been reserved for him to escape from the siege of the city on the day.
On this day, after he pacified the people of the city, he returned to the mansion and saw a person waiting in the mansion, and when he got closer, it turned out to be Lu Gong.
"Ye Shou has ever been ready? The Qin army has already surrendered outside the pass, just waiting for Ye Shou to surrender with the city. ”
