Tang Ju, a native of Wei in the late Warring States period. This public was courageous, insightful, eloquent, and loyal to the country, and was praised by future generations. However, his existence and experience are mysterious, and he is regarded as a god-like figure by later generations. There are three miraculous things about his life.

The first miraculous thing: the tongue battle of the Qin king Yingzheng.

Meng Yi first heard of Mr. Tang Ju's name when he was in junior high school, and there was a text in his Chinese textbook called "Tang Ju Lives Up to His Mission". It made Meng Yi forever remember this man with national ideals who was loyal to the country, not afraid of violence, adhered to justice, and fulfilled his mission, even though more than ten years have passed, he still lingers in his mind. This text is selected from "Wei Ce IV" in "Warring States Policy". In fact, when Tang Ju went to see King Yingzheng of Qin this time to dissuade him from "exchanging the big for the small" and pushing away his "good intentions", the Wei State no longer existed and had already been destroyed by the Qin army. Anling, as a feudal state of Wei, for Qin, it was a no-brainer to destroy it, it was only a matter of time. Even so, no matter how small a country is, it also has its sense of sovereignty and national dignity, and King Yingzheng's "big for small", exchanging 500 li of land for 50 li of land in Anling, on the surface, gave Anling Jun a lot of face, but in fact, he wanted to take Anling without spending a single soldier. In this way, this "good intention" is transformed into a great humiliation, which is much more vicious than directly sending troops to destroy the country.

Facing the domineering and aggressive momentum of King Yingzheng of Qin, Tang Ju opened his mouth and pushed it back: "An Lingjun's fief was given by the first king, and as the descendant of King Wei, he should always guard it, even if you give a thousand miles of land, let alone five hundred miles?" ”

Seeing this, King Yingzheng of Qin was a little annoyed, so he used the anger of the Son of Heaven who "ambushed millions of corpses and bled thousands of miles" to scare Tang Ju in an attempt to conquer him. Tang Ju correspondingly raised the anger of Buyi, which was ridiculed by King Yingzheng of Qin: "The anger of Buyi is just taking off his hat and shoes, and hitting his head on the ground." ”

Tang Ju refuted-for-tat: "What you said is a way for a mediocre man to vent his dissatisfaction, not a manifestation of the anger of a man with lofty ideals. Then, he gave the examples of assassinating the king's bureaucrats, Nie Zheng's assassination of Han puppets, and wanting to leave the assassination of Qingji, and warned Qin Wang Yingzheng that only two people need to die when a person is angry, which is enough for the world, and even hinted: "Add me, it's four people." Today is the time. The implication is that he will also assassinate the enemy and die like the three predecessors in front of him, and he doesn't have to pick and choose, just today.

Seeing that Tang Ju was really going to work hard, King Yingzheng of Qin was shocked and sweated, softened, and understood that the reason why the small country of Anling has existed so far is because of Tang Ju.

The second miraculous thing: convincing King Qin Zhao to save Wei and persuading King Xinling to be cautious.

In fact, long before the tongue war against King Yingzheng of Qin, Tang Ju had already stepped onto the stage of history, and the performance was very exciting.

During the reign of King Anxu of Wei, Wei and Qin were on good terms, and Qi and Chu jointly sent troops to attack Wei. At this time, the Wei State was no longer what it used to be, and it was still difficult for a big country to attack and resist, let alone two countries to join forces? The king of Wei had no choice but to ask the king of Qin for help. However, for this Wei State in the twilight of the Qin Dynasty, King Yingji of Qin Zhao was too lazy to care, and ignored and ignored the Wei envoy's request for help. The state of Wei was in danger, and the king of Wei panicked and didn't know what to do. At this time, Tang Ju offered to go to Qin to persuade King Yingji of Qin Zhao to send troops to rescue. The king of Wei was overjoyed, hurriedly thanked him, and sent someone to send him to Qin. Tang Ju said to King Yingji of Qin Zhao: "As a country of ten thousand times, Wei is willing to serve Qin in the west, and as the eastern domain of Qin, to put it bluntly, it is believed that Qin is enough to rely on in times of crisis. Now that Wei is in danger, if Qin does not rescue, then the king of Wei will be forced to cede land to Qi and Chu, and then unite to attack Qin, and then Wei will really not work to save Qin. Is it any benefit for the king that Qin lost the Eastern Domain of Wei, and let the enemy states of Qi and Chu get the land of Wei and become stronger? Hearing this, Qin Zhaoxiang Wang Yingji woke up like a dream, and only then did he agree to send troops to rescue Wei, and Tang Ju made a great contribution to Wei.

After the end of the Battle of Handan, thinking that Zhao Guoguo rewarded Xinling Jun Wei Wuji, Xinling Jun might get carried away, Tang Ju gave him a preventive shot in time and reminded him: "There are unknowable people, and there are people who must know; There are those who cannot be forgotten, and there are those who cannot be forgotten. Persuaded him to forget his great contribution to Zhao State, not to be arrogant, and also hinted to him euphemistically: You sent troops to rescue Zhao this time, although you have made great contributions to Zhao State, but stealing the tiger talisman, killing Jin Contempt to seize the leadership of the army, and without the approval of the King of Wei, sending troops to Zhao State to fight against the Qin army without authorization is disloyal to Wei State. Therefore, as a criminal minister of the Wei State, in front of the Zhao people, you can't pretend to be a meritorious hero, so as to increase the disgust and anger of the King of Wei, you must be cautious and walk on thin ice. For such a reminder and exhortation, Xinlingjun can only "be taught".

The second magical thing: the mystery of age.

When Tang Ju went to persuade King Qin Zhaoxiang to send troops to rescue Wei, according to the "Wei Family" in the "Historical Records", he was already "more than 90 years old". The specific year in which this incident occurred is not clearly recorded in the history books, but it is only interpolated between the eleventh and twentieth years of King Wei Anxi. However, later Tang Ju went to see King Yingzheng of Qin for An Lingjun, and the time difference between them was several decades. Let's assume here, even if Tang Ju went to see King Qin Zhaoxiang in the nineteenth year of King Wei Anxi, he went to see King Yingzheng of Qin after Qin destroyed Wei. In the unification war of Qin, he destroyed Wei for three years. Even if Tang Ju went to see King Yingzheng of Qin in the year when Wei was destroyed by Qin, there was a full thirty-three years between them.

At the beginning, when Tang Ju went to see King Qin Zhaoxiang, he was already over ninety years old, and after more than thirty years, that is, more than one hundred and twenty years old, he went to see King Qin Yingzheng, and after a few words, he even scared King Yingzheng of Qin into softening, which is really incredible. Qin Wang Yingzheng, who has gone through many bloody storms in his life, was actually scared by an old man in his hundred and twenty years, is this really possible? Therefore, for Tang Ju, there have always been differences in later generations, thinking that there should be more than one celebrity named Tang Ju in the history of the Warring States Period, at least two. It is very likely that Tang Ju, who went to see King Zhaoxiang of Qin, and Tang Ju, who went to see King Yingzheng of Qin, were not alone. But some people also raised objections, thinking that Sima Qian might have made a mistake, Tang Ju was far less than ninety years old when he went to see King Qin Zhaoxiang, in fact, he may be much younger, so in another thirty years, it will not be a problem to meet Qin Wang Yingzheng, the great-grandson of King Qin Zhaoxiang.

The peach blossoms are falling, and the pink petals are blown into the water by the wind. If you are on both sides of the Hukou at this time, you can see the spectacular peach blossom flood.

It's a pity that this is the big beam, the Yellow River Jiuqu flows here, and the majestic peach blossom flood has been much calmer. Animals on the mountain ridge that have just survived winter are poking their heads out to enjoy the warm sunshine. There are even some small beasts, busy gnawing on the vegetation that has just returned to green, replenishing the physical strength consumed by a winter. And the hungry and thin fox wolves naturally took the opportunity to hunt down. After surviving the cruel winter, these guys are happy to welcome the arrival of the new year.

A large group of cavalry suddenly appeared on both sides of the Yellow River, led by a general in black helmet and black armor. He wore a big red cloak, and at first glance, he knew that he was the commander of the army. He was followed by a group of knights, all of whom were like tigers and wolves, flying eagles and angry horses, all with the iron-blooded temperament unique to soldiers.

"Major General, there is the embankment of the Yellow River in front." A group of people stood on the shore, and immediately someone came up to report it, pointing to a distance of about a mile, a river embankment dark jade belt generally lying on both sides of the Yellow River.

At this time, the current is turbulent, and the sediment brought down from the upstream makes the river muddy and muddy. The Yellow River can only be called the real Yellow River when it arrives here, and compared with the Yellow River in the river grassland, it is simply two rivers.

Wang Ben looked at the Yellow River in front of him and shook his head helplessly. The winter of the Battle of Daliang has come and gone, and the big guys have spent all year after year in Daliang City. No one thought that the battle would be so fierce. The resistance of the Wei people was extremely resolute, and tens of thousands of new Zhao troops filled in, but the Wei people actually fought to the death and refused to surrender. Obviously, the old people and children have gone to the city wall to fight, but they are still struggling to support. I really don't know what they're fighting for. Didn't you say that the king of Wei was fake and incompetent? Why were the people of Wei so loyal to him? Wang Ben can't figure out what he thinks!

"Tomorrow we will recruit the people and start digging the embankment of the Yellow River." Wang Ben pointed to the embankment of the Yellow River, which was quite a bit of a pointer.

Now he is a general, leading a large army to besiege Daliang. It was a piece of cake for him to catch a few people, and as for how many people would be displaced by digging the Yellow River embankment, it was not in Wang Ben's consideration.

"No!" The lieutenant next to him felt a chill in his heart.

There are no less than 100 Zhuangzi around Daliang City, and most of them are relatively low-lying. If the Yellow River is excavated, at least eighty percent of the Zhuangzi will be soaked in water. Not to mention planting, even a straw shed can't live in people. Don't look at the young general Wang Ben's age, but when it comes to the ruthlessness of the means, he is especially better than Wang Jian by three points!

Five days later, the embankment was dug up.

With a loud bang, the flooding river rushed to Daliang City on three sides like a white dragon. The sound of the torrent rushing is like a thousand horses, and the sky is falling apart. Its majesty changed the color of heaven and earth.

Everywhere the mighty current passed, the fertile fields were washed away in an instant, the trees were uprooted, and the houses were immediately smashed to pieces.

For a time, more than 100 miles around the beam, it became a Ze country! Although most of the people in Daliang City have fled due to the war, countless lives and property are still buried underwater.
