Chapter 107: Which Han Is This?
Two days later, Qin Zheng and others finally dealt with the matter of changing the defense of Hangu Pass, and only then did 5,000 men and horses go east.
However, even if they were marching at their own doorstep, the soldiers were well fed and occupied, and the Qin army did not have the slightest intention of relaxing, and the scouts were sent out one by one, and even the "ninjas" trained by Tang Xie were dispatched.
The entire Hanguan Shangluo region could not escape the eyes of the Qin army, so the scout troops quickly discovered the merchant's team and quickly reported the news.
Of course, the main purpose of this march was to meet the alliance, and the deterrent effect of 5,000 men and horses was greater than that of actual combat, so only the guard lieutenant Li Zan was arranged to be the nominal commander, and the real decision was what Qin Zheng and Zhao Gao meant.
When Qin Zheng, who insisted on riding a horse, was tortured enough, the news of Wei Wei happened to arrive, and Qin Zheng didn't have to perform "lame" riding skills in front of Zhao Gao, and immediately spoke:
"Since we have met the merchants, we will temporarily set up camp and send messengers to communicate with them, and tomorrow we will take a car according to Yu Shicheng's idea, or Zhao Qing will drive."
Zhao Gao naturally agreed respectfully, and he was arranged to work, and Zhang Cang, as the celebrant, naturally had to take on the responsibility of the messenger.
Therefore, the big fat man Zhang Cang saluted very reluctantly, and was escorted to the merchant's territory by the soldiers with the book gifts.
Qin Zheng dismounted and planned the camp with Zhao Gao and Li Zan, and a huge camp rose up in just over an hour, and Zhang Cang happened to come back.
Qin Zheng looked at Zhang Cang with a smile on his face, it seemed that this meeting was going well, and asked simply: "How?" ”
Zhang Cang saluted and said: "The king of Shang also came in person, and expressed his apologies for the inappropriate words in the previous few calls.
Tomorrow's Huimeng also promised that I would be the celebrant, and only choose the same customs of our two countries, and not use the rest, saying that it was to make up for my mistakes and reconcile with my Great Qin for eternity. ”
Qin Zheng also felt good when he heard it, after all, his main energy was now on reform, and he really didn't want to take the initiative and leave a live target for the countries outside the border.
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng was just about to nod in agreement, but he saw Zhao Gao's face on the side, and wondered if he had found something wrong and was about to ask him, but Zhang Cang suddenly said:
"However, the king of Shang said that this time the Qin State brought the Wei State to meet the alliance, they were unexpected, I don't know what the road of this Wei State is, and I want to ask the minister, so I also gave the minister a lot of beautiful jade and wine and two beautiful concubines."
Zhang Cang's words made Qin Zheng a little vigilant, and he didn't tell the businessman about the Wei Congress's participation, but the businessman wanted to bribe Zhang Cang to find out the inside story, and it seemed that he was very interested in other countries.
This is not a good thing, if the merchant gets another powerful ally, not only will Qin's position be challenged, but he may also fall into the disadvantageous situation of being flanked.
So Qin Zheng hurriedly asked, "How did you tell them?" ”
The corners of Zhang Cang's mouth rose slightly: "The minister said that Wei is also an old kingdom, but its strength is far less than that of a big country like Shang Qin, and King Wei is His Majesty's nephew." ”
Zhang Cang's answer is not ingenious, firstly, to praise Shang Rang to make them arrogant, and secondly, to point out that Ming Qin is as powerful as not to move his mind.
Third, the concept of stealing the concept of the uncle-nephew treaty reached by Qin and Wei Gang indicates that Wei is Qin's relative and younger brother, and he cut off Shang's intention to win over Wei.
Qin Zheng couldn't help but nod his head in appreciation when he heard this: "Aiqing is really witty, this time the alliance has successfully given you a credit." ”
Suddenly, Zhang Cang saluted and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, but the minister still has something to say, and it may be a big variable in this alliance!" ”
"Huh?" Qin Zheng and Zhao Gao Li Zan all looked at him suspiciously, waiting for his explanation.
Zhang Cang then stood up straight and said: "After the minister told the king of Shang this, the king of Shang said with a smile that they had actually found another country and hoped to participate in this alliance as soon as they heard about it. ”
As soon as Qin Zheng's face changed when he heard this, what he was worried about still happened, Shang found another force, so the situation of this alliance has become more complicated, and it is difficult to say whether Great Qin can still suppress Shang Wei and become the leader of the alliance.
If the businessmen are willing to introduce this country to join the alliance, then they will not have a good relationship, so will the businessmen learn more advanced technology, so as to become a hard nail on the road to the east in the future of Great Qin?
At this time, Zhang Cang didn't do much analysis, but looked at Qin Zheng with wide eyes, and said almost word by word: "And Your Majesty will definitely not like the name of this Fang country......
Seeing Zhang Cang's statement like this, Qin Zheng had deeper doubts in his heart, and ordered with a horizontal eyebrow: "Go on." ”
Zhang Cang's breath went up from his chest, and he said categorically: "Han! That Fang country's name is Han! ”
Qin Zheng's body shook immediately when he heard this, and his complicated mood filled his internal organs, and he was speechless for a while.
How could he not know the name "Han", it is the lingering imprint of the Chinese people for thousands of years, it can be said that Qin unified China, and Han continued China.
Qin was a glorious but short-lived dynasty, and if there was no Han succession and development, any unification measures would have been a death and a passing thing.
And the Han is the most important inheritor and promoter, and it is also from the Han Dynasty that the other spiritual cores of the entire China began to be laid, and truly became the Celestial Empire of East Asia.
However, for the incomparably important Han in China, to Qin Zheng and to Great Qin, he was an out-and-out traitor, he stepped on his body to ascend to the throne, he was the "destroyer" of Great Qin's hegemony, and it was the end of the fate of the Qin Dynasty......
Of course, this matter is only clear to Qin Zheng, the future person, and Zhang Cang, who has seen part of the history, so Zhang Cang will come back to remind Qin Zheng, but the others present have no reaction.
Qin Zheng hurriedly secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Zhang Cang, who was standing straight, and gradually calmed down in his heart, thinking:
"There are so many countries that call themselves Han in history, which one is still uncertain? Just like Xixia also calls himself Daxia, is he still Dayu's Xia?
And now that everyone has reached the orthodox years of the Ming Dynasty, my Qin is no longer the decay and chaos of the Second Emperor, and the Han is not a rebel army anymore, and who will die will be compared! ”
Thinking of this, Qin Zheng was considered to have recovered his state, and regardless of the doubts of Zhao Gao and others next to him, he asked Zhang Cang directly: "Are you sure?" Which Han is it? ”
Zhang Cang smiled slightly bitterly: "It's all the perfect reason to blame the minister, he was learned by this thief merchant king, and he just told the minister that it was an ordinary Fang country in the east, and it couldn't compare to my Qin Shang power........."
Qin Zheng frowned and said, "It's no wonder you, no matter which one you will see in a few days, but why do you still laugh when you come back?" ”
Zhang Cang smiled mysteriously and saluted and explained: "Because this Han monarch also came in person, and the people of the two countries together are only 1,500 people!" ”
