Chapter 108: Zhang Zifang
"In the twenty-first year of the reign of King Qin, in September, the King of Qin made Wang Ben, the son of Wang Qianzi, a general, and led 100,000 troops to attack Chu."
When this news reached Anlu County, Nan County, it was known to Heifu, the head of the small pavilion, and at the same time, it also spread to Xinzheng County, Yingchuan County, thousands of miles away, and placed it on the desk of a certain future big man.
Yeongcheon-gun is the homeland of Korea. Xinzheng is an ancient capital with a long history, from the ruins of Zhurong to the capital of Zheng and Han, it has always been the richest city in the Central Plains, alongside Luoyang and Daliang, with a population of more than 100,000.
Four years ago, Xinzheng surrendered without a fight under the persecution of Shouteng in Nanyang County, Qin State, except for Han Wang'an who was taken away and imprisoned, the princes and nobles in the city did not suffer much trouble.
After all, Qin's rule in the Central Plains was not stable, and Qin officials could not establish a strict system like Guanzhong and Nanjun in Handi in a short period of time. For the time being, they can only borrow the hands of the old Korean aristocracy to collect huge city taxes in Xinzheng, and try to use South Korea's rich human resources and hundreds of industries for their own use.
The Zhang family, located in the east of Xinzheng City, is one of the families who luckily retained the wealth and nobility in this delicate situation.
Zhang's once produced two Korean ministers, rich and rich, and the Wangshan-style courtyard gate was built extremely high, and there was the style of the prime minister's lintel at a glance. In the pink wall Zhuwa, you can faintly see the pavilions and pavilions scattered. On the garden path, the gray-haired old servant respectfully walked towards the waterside pavilion with a guest.
The guest was eighteen or nineteen years old, dressed in a swordsman's suit, eight feet five inches tall, and stood out from the crowd wherever he went.
He looked around, but saw that the more than 300 servants in Zhang's house were all men, and they performed their own duties, and they all did their own things quietly without being ordered. Or prune the flowers and trees, or sweep the fallen leaves, without whispering, without laughing and playing.
The guest couldn't help but nod secretly.
"The rumors are true, the three hundred servants of the Zhang family have all been trained and restrained by the art of war, if these people can be used by Hengyang Jun, why worry about big things?"
Because of this, there is a huge house, and hundreds of people live in it, but it is extremely quiet, except for the small pavilion where they are getting closer and closer, there is a loud piano sound......
The pavilion is surrounded by flowers and bamboos. It is late autumn, the flowers are withering, and the bamboos are sparse, most of them have turned yellow, and they tremble slightly in the sound of the piano......
Playing the piano is a young man in white with wide clothes and sleeves, he sits on a bamboo mat, his black hair is scattered on his shoulders, looking informal, this person has slender and slender fingers, beautiful appearance, eyes slightly closed, and his expression is very focused.
The tune is initially plain, as if it is a narration of the country's long history, or like a babbling stream, counting the family's past glory.
But slowly, it all turned into a sigh, and the melody, mixed with the player's emotions, began to burst apart, and the sound of the piano was sharp, mixed with anger, and turned into a fierce question:
"There are branches. The Wowo of the Dead, the Ignorance of the Fun! ”
If people who know "Poetry" are here, they can hear that what the white-clothed gentleman is playing is Xinzheng's local "Junifeng. Xi Youchang Chu", a metaphor for the country's dying, and the monarch does not understand, and the country does not know how to plan for itself......
Although the guest is majestic and brave, and his demeanor is a bit aristocratic, he is a reckless man who does not know poetry and books. He was stopped by the old servant and was not allowed to enter the pavilion, he was already impatient, how could he care to listen to the connotation of this piano sound, and when he saw that the song was finished, he shouted loudly:
"Ovary, is this your hospitality?"
The clear sound of the piano stopped as soon as it landed, and the young man held down the strings and looked at the uninvited guest, his face was calm, and his eyes were more like the water in the ancient well, dark and deep.
"Gentleman." The old servant bowed to the ground and said, "Gongsun Xin is visiting." ”
The gentleman in white got up and said lightly: "It turns out that Zicheng is here, please sit down and prepare hot soup." ”
"No need!"
Gongsun Xin strode into the pavilion, plucked the strings rudely, and said: "The ovary, the ovary, the children of the ministers of the whole city have gathered together to discuss important matters, so you can sit still at home and play the piano!" Do you know that the Qin State sent Wang Ben to attack Chu, and now he has broken through Cai and entered the siege of Chen Ying! ”
The gentleman in white waved at him and said softly, "Isn't all this as I expected?" After defeating Zhao Yan, King Qin's next step was to destroy Wei. But before destroying Wei, you have to knock and knock on the Chu State to sweep away the worries when besieging Daliang. I have told Hengyangjun about these things, so I don't need to repeat them. ”
"That's not important, what matters is what we Koreans can do at this extraordinary moment!"
Gongsun Xin's eyes were blazing: "Ofan, the Qin State may start a war with Wei Chu at the same time, this battle must be a long time, and the time for you and me to return to the country and take revenge has arrived!" ”
The white-clothed gentleman shook his head: "Gongsun, I understand your intention, but please reply to Hengyang Jun, this battle will not last long, the time has not come, this time, the Zhang family will not participate in this move." ”
"Zhang Liang!"
Gongsun Xin angrily called him by his name: "Haven't you had enough of this tyrannical Qin's rule?" The six kingdoms of Shandong, Korea died first, the king was imprisoned, and all the princes and grandsons of the palace moved to Xianyang and became the slaves and maids of the king of Qin, which is a great shame! ”
"And those who are lucky enough to stay are either the eagle dogs of the Qin people and help them poison the Korean land. Either the family property is gradually embezzled, I think, your Zhang family's life is not much better! ”
He pointed to the servants outside and said, "I remember when I came to Zhang's house when I was a child, I was still a beautiful and luxurious maid and a slave with silk and silk, but now? What a broken and broken become! I don't believe that you can endure these days. ”
"Also, your eldest father, Xianghan Zhaohou, King Xuanhui, and King Xiangai. Your father, the king of Xiangyi, the king of mourning. Although you are young and young, but the fifth generation of the Zhang family is in Han, have you forgotten it all? ”
"How did you forget?"
Zhang Liang looked at the rippling lake in the pond, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "Gongsun Xin, you are the grandson of King Han Xiang, so you don't forget to return to the country and take revenge." Could it be that I, Zhang Liang, have forgotten all the hatred of the country and the family? ”
"My brother is not buried, and he asks for a warrior with his family wealth, for what? It's not that I want to emulate the crown prince Dan Jingke. I painstakingly searched for the art of war, and secretly trained the three hundred servants in my family, for what? Isn't it just so that one day, he can take revenge on South Korea and avenge the country? ”
Gongsun Xin was puzzled: "Then why didn't you participate in Hengyang Jun's move this time?" As long as each family sends their servants tomorrow, seizes the arsenal, and kills all the Qin officials, they can mobilize the entire city of Koreans to rescue the king together! ”
"Otherwise, I'm afraid that when the time comes, what will be waiting for is the suppression of the Qin army, as well as the head of the king."
Gongsun Xin said angrily: "Zifang, how can you be so disrespectful to the king? “
"Just tell the truth." Zhang Liangyan's wisdom overwhelmed his anger again, and he said lightly: "It's still the same sentence, before the time comes, rash action, not only can not do anything good to the situation, but will only kill those Koreans who are interested in recovering the country." ”
"I know that in the past two years, Hengyangjun has traveled between other countries, using the painful lessons of Korea to try to contact Wei, Chu, and Qi to resist Qin together. This is a good thing, but unfortunately it can't be done. ”
"After the Prime Minister of Qi accepted the bribe of Qin, he made the king of Qi close the country, and he was indifferent to the destruction of the countries, and he couldn't count on it."
"Since the death of Xinlingjun, the backbone of Wei has been broken, and the king of Wei has been singing, dancing, drinking, and playing all day long, only knowing that he blindly pleases Qin, and he can't believe it even if he lives one day at a time."
"And the state of Chu, although it has the deepest hatred with Qin, only had turmoil two years ago. The prince killed the king of Chu Ai and established himself as the king. Although the general Xiang Yan trained in Huainan to prepare for war, and sent many spies to various parts of the Qin State to inquire about the news, the king of Chu always thought that the Qin State would break Wei first, so he was not very vigilant. ”
"This time, the state of Chu was raided by King Ben of Qin, and within half a month, Shangcai fell, and seeing that Chen Ying was also not guaranteed, so people were panicked, maybe they would soon negotiate peace with Qin and cut the land, how to talk about a long war of counterattack? The people of Chu have always been like this, they are used to being loose, and if they are not forced into a desperate situation, they will not be able to work together. When the Qin army won Chen Ying, it cut off the gap between the Chu State and the Wei State, and when the time came, the southeast, north and south armies would encircle the Great Liang, and the Wei State would die within the next year! ”
Zhang Liang analyzed every sentence reasonably, and Gongsun Xin hurriedly said: "So Hengyang Jun also said, we Koreans must not wait any longer!" If you sit back and watch the Qin State defeat Jing Chu, and then turn back and destroy Wei, and cut off Han Di from Qi and Chu, Korea will never be able to recover the country! ”
"Wrong, big mistake!"
Zhang Liang was a little angry and helplessly rebuked: "At this time, I just used the strength that the Koreans had accumulated so hard to put out the fire!" The restoration of the country should be slow, not impatient, do not think about overnight, but need long-term planning, be sure to fail in one blow, but also protect yourself, in order to regain strength in the future. How can you be like a gambler, risking everyone's lives on a desperate gamble? Hengyang Jun is playing too much in Liubo!"
In Zhang Liang's view, only by acknowledging the strength of the Qin State can we know what can be done now and what cannot be done.
"I have already persuaded Hengyangjun, but he insists on going his own way. So I won't let the Zhang family get involved in this matter, and those three hundred servants won't appear on the streets of Xinzheng tomorrow with blades! Letter, I advise you to leave Xinzheng as soon as possible, this move will never succeed! Keep your useful body and wait for the real time to counterattack the Qin State! ”
Gongsun Xin was already a little shaken: "Not at this time, then when?" ”
Zhang Liang's eyes were firm: "When the Qin State wants to destroy Chu in one battle!" That's South Korea, it's the Six Nations, it's the last chance for the people of the world! ”
