Chapter 52
Outside the city of Linzi of Qi, the Yan army led by Le Yi and a small number of Qin and Zhao allied troops rushed to the city from all sides.
This is the capital of Qi and the last line of defense of Qi, as long as it is taken, Qi will be destroyed. Le Yi, Bai Qi, and Lian Po stood under the banner, silently watching everything in front of them, they all knew what this battle meant.
Le Yi was originally in Yunmeng Mountain, and he watched his juniors and disciples descend the mountain one by one, and they all had some construction skills, and his heart also fluctuated. Guiguzi and Zhu'er saw everything, they waited for Le Yi's resignation, but Le Yi didn't open his mouth. He also calculated that Mao Meng and Xu Fu never interacted with others in cultivating alchemy, and they each lived in a hole in the back mountain, which was rarely seen. After Su Qin and Zhang Yi came down the mountain, they rushed between the candidates, and occasionally heard some news from them from the bottom of the mountain. However, he returned to the Qin State in vain, made many military exploits, and became famous among the countries. The other brothers also went down the mountain, some defected to the brothers, and some returned to their homeland. In the house of Yunmeng Wonderland, there are only himself and Lu Pin, who is dedicated to business. And the only one who can run around the mountains and mountains for his husband is himself, and if he goes down the mountain again, his husband and his wife will be even more lonely. He had read much from the gentleman's eyes, so he did not speak. He asked Lu Pin why he hadn't gone down the mountain yet, and Lu Pin's answer was that he hadn't saved enough absolute capital yet. He asked Mr. what the junior disciples were doing, but Guiguzi still smiled and did not answer. Instead, Zhu'er told him privately, Mr. gave you the secrets, and you should understand.
On that day, he told Lu Pin about his husband's teaching, and Lu Pin laughed when he heard it. He told Le Yi that there may be no one who can't write this book except Bai Qi. Le Yi seemed to suddenly realize, and then laughed. "How does Senior Brother Lu understand the mystery?" Le Yi wanted to hear his thoughts.
"The younger brother studied business, and he didn't think about the way of governing the country. However, according to the analysis of the junior brother, Mr. and you will have a book to obtain, what can you get? The junior and younger brothers have thought for a long time, and only the original meaning of this scripture is the same. This is already the Tao Te Ching, what else is magical, Mr. I am afraid that I only want the disciples to memorize it and understand it! Nothing else. β
Le Yi smiled. "It seems that Mr. is right, not in the mountains, often appreciate the facts, but in private thoughts, puzzled! Since Senior Brother Lu said that it has no deep meaning, it is useless for Le Yi to stay here, so I will give it to you! β
"It's... How do you blame sir? β
"No, I know that Mr. spoils me, you can rest assured! I know you're useful. β
Lu Pin happily put the book away, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, I am also qualified, with this book, junior brother should be rich and first!" β
Just as Lu Pin was about to go down the mountain, Su Qin took King Yan Zhao to Yunmeng Wonderland.
After listening to what King Yan asked, Guiguzi looked at the legal book he sent, and then said for a long time: "Guigu's teaching, and always thinking of the common people, although the first king seized the throne and moved troops, and passed on the throne also moved troops, although there was turmoil, its meaning was different. This code is very good, equal to all people, inclusive of hundreds of schools, the principle of the avenue, and the king is also the king of the avenue. The ghost valley has been asking for a long time, but the waiters will not follow it and respect it, and he will attack it when he hears it. If we can make all living beings realize the avenue, we can replace the legal code, and the world will be harmonious. Although the law is good, it is not the highest, and I hope that the king will think of it. He looked at Lu Pin and Le Yi beside him. As a teacher, don't do your own ideas, people who follow the avenue have hard work, and you two can do their own thing! After speaking, Guiguzi had already walked into the cave.
After Su Qin introduced the state of Yan on the side, he implored the two of them to go down the mountain to help Yan and protect the avenue that Mr. said. King Yan was also sincere, and the two finally agreed to go down the mountain. Before leaving, they asked Mr. what else to explain, and Guiguzi said to Le Yi: "Remember, in everything, there is a mutual restraint, and in one thing, good and bad are reversed!" If you don't do anything, the torrent will retreat! He turned to Lu Pin. Your name contains five words, and you will be guilty of a battle of tongues, change it with you for the teacher, and you will be called Buwei in the future! β
"Lu Buwei, good!"
When the two arrived in Yan State, they each took responsibility and cooperated with Su Qin, even if the Yan State army became strong and the food and clothing were abundant in two years. At this time, as expected by Su and Qin, Qin and Qi were also more powerful, and they looked at the Central Plains and Yandi day by day.
In order to divert the target of Qi's attack, Su Qin went from Yan to Qi in the name of reconciliation between Qi and Yan. Before leaving, he tearfully bid farewell to King Yan, Le Yi and LΓΌ Buwei. "Su Qin has delayed the Yandi war for two years, how about this? Unpredictable. The king must remember that Qi and Yan have deep grievances and grievances, and they are not a place of common prosperity. After I go to Qi, I will let Qi Sheng anger the nations, and at that time, Yan will unite the nations and attack them in one fell swoop. Otherwise, as much as the Yan family does, even if there is Le Yi, the odds of winning are not great. He grabbed Le Yi. General! After I leave, you should transfer Liaodong and all the soldiers and horses, secretly to the Qi realm, ready to attack at any time. This is the most likely way to make Yan strong in a battle, otherwise there will be no way to align, just wait for him to destroy my Yan! β
Su Qin came to the State of Qi and persuaded the King of Qi not to cut down Yan, but to cut down Song. "The Song Kingdom is a strategic fortress, and it must be occupied for hegemony! And it is indeed secretly pro-Qin State, which is actually a powerful strategy for Qin Shuqi. And Yan has no intention of fighting, he only wants to move together, if Qi attacks the Song State, Yan will support the battle! Su Qin presented the Shun Table and the Book of Surrender prepared in advance to the King of Qi.
The king of Qi was happy when he saw the book and the table, and it seemed that the Yan Kingdom was no longer the enemy of the crusade. Relatively speaking, the Song State is the middle zone between Qi and Zhao, Wei, and Han, and the only way for Qi to enter the Central Plains in the west is to become a subsidiary of Qiang Qin. Therefore, the king of Qi sent the general Tian Ji to send 100,000 troops, and captured the Song State in a few days.
Although the Song State was small, it was an ally of Zhao and Han. Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, and Qi joined forces to resist Qin, but Qi did not send troops, only some assets. The coalition army was fighting hard with the Qin army, and did not want the Qi State to change its plan to attack Yan, and captured the Song State. was angry for a while, coupled with Su Qin's lobbying, he was willing to send Yan to help Zhao and Han Suo return to the land of the Song Kingdom. Originally, Zhao, Wei, and Han were still a little hesitant, but seeing that Qin also sent troops to resist Qi, Zhang Yi also sent envoys to ensure that the Qin army would not violate the border. As a result, the forces of the Six-Nation Alliance gathered around the Song Kingdom.
Le Yi had already prepared, as the general of the Qi coalition army, he definitely didn't just want the Qi army to withdraw from the Song Kingdom, but wanted to eliminate the elite of the Qi army.
The general of Qi did not expect that there would be a coalition army to attack, making Qi and the world enemies. reported to the royal court, asking to withdraw from the Song land, and make plans in the future. How could the king of Qi give up the fat in his mouth, and wanted to use this to raise the prestige of the Qi country again. So he ordered to send the whole country's troops again to aid the Song land.
Of course, Le Yi would not give the Qi army another opportunity to increase troops, and ordered the coalition forces to attack the Qi army in Song from five directions, and secretly ordered the Yan army to go deep into the hinterland of Qi to ambush reinforcements and defeated troops. Sure enough, the coalition forces were all indignant at the Qi army, extremely brave, and sent all the grievances of being defeated by the Qin State on the Qi army. After two days of the first battle, Tian Ji led the remnants of the army back to Qi, and before they could settle down and camp, Le Yi and Bai Qi ignored the appointment of the coalition army and had already killed the Qi country. Tian Ji had to fight several times the army, and in half a day, the whole army was wiped out. Tian Ji looked at the remaining dozens of soldiers, thinking about his life's achievements, a handful of old tears flowed out, he remembered the persuasion of Zou Ji and Sun Bin, and looked up to the sky and roared. "Why don't you change this unprincipled King of Qi! Shame on me! After speaking, he drew his sword and killed himself.
The reinforcements of the Qi army came for a long time, and they had just received a letter of defeat from the front, and were waiting to set up camp to defend against the enemy, and the Yan army had rushed out from three sides. After a great battle, the Qi army was defeated all the way.
Le Yi led the elite of the Yan army and the 20,000 Qin army of Bai Qi, plus the 20,000 Zhao army led by Lian Po, who arrived later, pursued all the way, and did not invade the city until the city of Linzi was under the capital of Qi.
After a short rest, Le Yi ordered the prisoners of war to be released first, and told the people in the city that the Yan army only took the king of Qi and the Qi army, and did not hurt everything, and all the soldiers who abandoned the precepts were treated as the people.
King Qi didn't expect to cause such a strange disaster, and then he saw that there was no one around him. He thought back to everything, and knew that he had fallen for Su Qin's plan, and he ordered someone to escort Su Qin to the royal court, and he was extremely angry. "Su Qin! The day the city is broken, it will be the time when your head is in a different place! β
Su Qin laughed. "It is only a matter of time before you perish. The chaos of war and disaster is all due to your greed and selfishness, and you do not take the road. Thanks to my two senior brothers to assist you in the prosperity of the Qi country, and to your ancestor Wang Yingming I, but you are passed on to be a king. If you have mercy on the people, you will quickly go out of the city and be surrendered, and you can be regarded as accumulating some virtue, so that you will not die without a place to be buried! β
The king of Qi was furious, and ordered that this clever tongue be punished first, and then tied to the city wall, so that the Yan army could be pierced by ten thousand arrows.
Le Yi and Bai Qi looked at Su Qin, who was bound in the city, their hearts were like knives, and they hesitated to give the order to attack the city.
Su Qin in the city was speechless, and blood was flowing from his mouth. But with a smile on his face, he looked at Le Yi and Bai Qi, and nodded vigorously. Le Yi knew he was saying, leave me alone, give the order!
Le Yi ordered the armies that no arrows should be released here, and there would be no siege weapons. He raised the order flag, looked at the smiling Su Qin, and waved it fiercely.
The drums were moving, shouting and killing were everywhere, and the ladders on the Linzi city wall were everywhere, and the knives and guns were flashing.
When the Qi soldiers heard the message of the prisoners returning to the city, they had no fighting spirit, and they dispersed half of them in two days. The rest looked at the Yan army and the Qin and Zhao coalition armies several times, and knew that the defeat was decided, and they only wanted to surrender when they wanted. Therefore, after the rain of arrows of the coalition army, the Qi army hid behind the city wall and refused to probe. The king of Qi led the ministers and shouted in the back, and Cui urged the soldiers to fight.
The Yan army took the lead in breaking through the north gate, and Le Yi left General Lian Po to stop the battle, and he and Bai Qi led the iron cavalry to rush into the city gate. Ignoring the rain and arrows, they went straight to the west gate, where Su Qin was tied and the king of Qi was there.
They smote to the west gate and opened it. The coalition troops swarmed in and went up the walls. Bai Qi and Le Yi abandoned their horses and swords, climbed to the city, and confronted King Qi and his gang.
King Qi stood on Su Qin's side, holding a long sword in his hand, and approached Su Qin's throat. The ministers around him trembled, and they couldn't stop scattering back. There were only a few dozen guards, spears in hand, outstretching out.
Le Yi glared at King Qi angrily. "The King of Faint! If you lay down your arms, the general will spare you from death! β
"Hahaha!" King Qi laughed. "If this king falls into the hands of you and others, he doesn't want to live. However, this king will let you see how your prime minister ends! β
"Piff!" Bai Qi said angrily. "If you dare to touch my junior brother, I will wash your palace and make your Tian clan extinct!"
"You are Qin Guobaiqi!" King Qi smiled disdainfully. "You Qin State is unrighteous, you have turned your back on Qin and Qi Lianheng, and you have fallen into the trap of this tongue villain. Qi today, Qin tomorrow! He turned to Su Qin and flipped his face with the tip of his sword. Check it out! It's this Bai Qi, who killed the Chu army and captured 80,000 prisoners, and is still talking about morality here! He laughed and turned around at Le Yi. If you want to let Su Qin live, then get out of the way, otherwise this king will kill him first. β
Le Yi looked at King Qi. "Good! General Ben is willing to be a hostage and let you out of the city. With that, he sheathed his sword.
Su Qin's eyes glared angrily, and he made a whining sound with blood stains spraying out of his mouth, and his whole body writhed, stopping Le Yi.
Bai Qi stopped Le Yi and turned to King Qi. "Pifu, this general will sue you again, if you dare to hurt my junior brother, I will not only wash the palace in blood, cut off your descendants of the Tian family, but I will also wash this city in blood!"
After hearing this, the ministers knelt down to the king of Qi and pleaded with their eyes.
One by one, the guards lowered their spears, raised their hands, and squatted on the ground.
"Can you spare the king's life?" King Qi looked at Le Yi.
"General Ben never loses his word!"
Su Qin whined and sprayed blood, glaring at Le Yi and Bai Qi. He suddenly supported himself with all his strength, and turned back with all his might, and the stake loosened, and fell out of the wall, and the people with the stake floated down the city.
"Senior brother!" Le Yi raised the stairs and ran down.
Bai Qi flew with angry eyes, his long sword flashed, and the head of King Qi also floated out of the city. He swung his sword like mad and rushed towards his kneeling subordinates.
Le Yi ran to the outside of the city wall, helping Su Qin's broken body, tears raining down. Little by little, he untied the ropes with his hands and straightened out his clothes. Finally, he put his hand on the pair of oversighted eyes. He got up and looked in the direction of Yan Guo and whispered silently. "Take you back to Yan Kingdom! Take you back to Yan Kingdom! β
In the Prime Minister of Qin's mansion, Zhang Yi watched his wife, children and family members pack everything up and put it into a box. He approached Madame and smiled. "Money is something outside the body, so why bother! Give it to your servants, and they will be of use when they go. When Zhang Yi came to Qin, she was the only coarse clothes, and when she went, she was accompanied by your children and her heart! β
Madame nodded silently.
He walked slowly towards the door of the mansion, looking at everything around him from time to time, so familiar and kind. Especially in this gate, I don't know how many footprints there are by myself, the King of Qin and the ministers, and the hurried footsteps seem to sound in my ears. With every sound of footsteps, he had to speed up his heartbeat, dealing with the iron hooves of the war horses thousands of miles away. This time, he didn't have to rush around anymore, he should slow down his pace and heartbeat, and enjoy the happiness of retreating. As the saying goes, the fallen leaves return to the roots, he misses his hometown too much, although it was originally the Wei State, but now it is under the rule of Great Qin. He believed that in the near future, just like the section of the nations in Yunmeng Mountain, although there was an interface, there was no restriction on the power of the brothers and sisters, and everyone freely strung with each other.
The sound of the horse team came from far and near, he knew that the person who came must be Bai Qi, and he also knew that after Bai Qi left tonight, there was nothing to be nostalgic about here!
The two of them came to the backyard hall, where delicious food and wine were already on the table.
The servant withdrew, and the two sat across from each other at the same table.
Bai Qi looked at Zhang Yi. "Today's court, why did the junior brother resign? How can you give others the credit for many years? β
Zhang Yi smiled and picked up the wine glass. "Idler Zhang Yi, a cup to the general!" After saying that, I drank it all.
Bai Qi also finished drinking and smiled. "The junior brother calls himself an idler, called the senior brother general, it seems that this wine should not be drunk, who sees Bai Qi drinking with an idler?"
"The junior brother felt relaxed, leisurely and relaxed. Now it seems that I envy Mao Meng and Xu Fu! Zhang Yi was leisurely and contented, and filled the wine glasses of the two of them. Running around for half a life, about to enter the ground, look at it, still in the same place! He invited Shiro to raise a glass. Get drunk with the old man today! β
Bai Qi laughed and looked at Zhang Yihua's white beard and hair. "Alright! Accompany you today, don't call me brother anymore, you will be more than ten years longer than me, and the title of half of your life is determined by Mr., since then, for the sake of your gray hair, call you brother! After speaking, he drank it all in vain.
"Tomorrow, the old man will return to his hometown, and he will be entrusted by Mr. to transfer a few words to you!" Zhang Yi put down the wine glass and said calmly.
Bai Qi was taken aback. "Has the gentleman been here?"
Zhang Yi nodded.
"Sir is in Zhu'er retreat, and he has traveled here!"
"Why don't you wait to see me? I miss Mr. day and night! Bai Qi was a little excited. Brother, why don't you also raise up in the ward? β
"Sir's order, forgive Zhang Yi can't!"
"What can you tell Mr. Bai Qi?"
Zhang Yi raised her glass to invite a drink, put down the wine glass, and looked at Bai Qi. "The first king collapsed, and on the second day of the new monarch's accession to the throne, I returned home in the evening, but was stopped by a boy in a sedan chair. The boy said that there was a white-haired old man waiting for me at the inn, and handed me a bag of things. I opened it and saw that it was Yunmeng Qingcha, and I expected that Mr. was here. So, he followed the boy to the inn, and saw that Mr. Guojian was already there. β
"Sir still looks like the same as before?"
Zhang Yi nodded. "I knelt down to Mr., and Mr. let me to the table and drink Yunmeng tea together. Later, ask me, why don't you want to retire? I was stunned at first, and I really didn't think about it. After being reminded by the gentleman, we came to our senses. β
"It turns out that my brother's retirement was granted by Mr., why is this so?"
"Mr. said that Qin Jun Xinli, he didn't want to see Gongsun Martingale again. The way of the king, the danger is all in the new establishment, and the way of the courtiers is to retreat bravely in the torrent! β
"What does the gentleman say about me?"
"Later in the conversation, I asked Mr. if he could see you, and he shook his head. He asked me to tell my senior brother that the "Tao Te Ching" is a prerequisite for Mr. to teach the art industry, and those who do not follow this sutra to perform the art industry will not be regarded as a disciple. β
"Bai Qi fought on the battlefield, and I often remember that Mr. dominates the world's thoughts, why does Mr. treat me?" Bai Qi picked up the wine glass and drank it all. "Bai Qi was born and died, the merit is in the Qin State, and the name is in the world. Bai Qi thinks that he does not live up to the grace of Mr. Teaching, and passes on Mr. Kindness and good name, why does Mr. misunderstand Bai Qi? β
Zhang Yi didn't answer, he knew that if he said that he killed 80,000 Chu prisoners and killed 500 women and children in the Qi Palace, he would definitely make the two of them break up unhappily. "How can Mr. not love the disciples, but sigh that no one cultivates the Tao, you have been with the first for the longest time, according to what I see, Mr. wants you to go back to the mountain to accompany you, but in fact, you miss it deeply!" Zhang Yi couldn't say it clearly, so she had to turn around to dispel the unhappiness in her heart.
"Alas!" Bai Qi sighed. If that's the case, Bai Qi feels sorry for Mr. Today, when the army is being applied, how can Bai Qi get out, and besides, Bai Qi has a large number of people and a group of children, how does it look like the original! It seems that going back to the mountain to accompany Mr. is just empty talk! β
"Mr. has another matter, saying that although he is proficient in the art of war, it is difficult to teach his children, and the reason is that he can't bear to discipline and punish, and he is doting. In order to pass on what Mr. has given from generation to generation, I will take away your descendant when I ask Zhang Yi to return to seclusion, and hand it over to Le Yi. The two of you are like brothers, and you will succeed in teaching on your behalf! β
Mr. thought about it slightly, which made Bai Qi even more sad, and Bai Qi was determined to obey his fate. Senior Brother Cola is busy with Yan Jun, how can he take time to teach? β
"You don't know yet," Zhang Yi invited for a drink. "Le Yi led the Yan army to attack all the land, and only three cities did not fall. Le Yi couldn't bear to kill, so he was trapped for three years, and he also sent Qi grain into the city, so as not to starve to death! β
"The kindness of the senior brother and woman has mistaken the reputation of the world!"
King Yan listened to the slander and questioned his disobedience, so he accepted the power of his senior brother and general. Senior Brother Le also returned to Dongyu Village in Yunmeng Mountain, taught his son leisurely, and often discussed with his husband. "He wanted to remind Bai Qi." Mr. said that Le Yi entered the land, did not kill innocents indiscriminately, and served the public with virtue, which is really a virtuous move for him to eliminate grievances in the future! Unification will last a long time. β
"What about Qidi now?" Bai Qi didn't understand what Zhang Yi said, and only cared about the war.
"The Yan army is starved of food and water, attacking and fighting, forcing Qi people, women and children to block the arrow, and the people's grievances are soaring, Mr. shook his head again and again when he talked about this."
"It's long overdue!"
"That's it! Don't talk about it. Zhang Yi said with a smile. Entrusted by Mr., Zhang Yi turned around. Now the whole body is more relaxed and happy, come, have a drink together, and listen to your ideals, he will return to his hometown one day, goodbye to the old man, and have something to say! β
After the two of them finished drinking, they tasted the aroma of wine. "Don't hide it from my brother, King Qin has secretly summoned Bai Qi, Xu Yiyan and Zhao fiefdom. and secretly dispatched Bai Qi to lead the elite to the border of Zhao to prepare to attack Zhao. Now the nations are looking after themselves, like a flock of sheep fighting for the future, the remnants and the victors all hate each other, and there is no longer a herd of sheep to drive out the wolf. Looking at the six countries, Zhao is a sheep, but although it is not disabled, it is a sheep after all, not to mention that the remnants of the sheep also hate it. He drank his own. Bai Qi still hates Zhao Hao for taking my horse and humiliating me back then, and now I will fight again, I will take revenge! Bai Qi let him taste the feeling of wolf eating sheep. Brother, Mr. is only a wolf and sheep, but he determines the situation of the world, and Bai Qi admires Mr. more and more! β
"May you succeed immediately!" Zhang Yi drank a cup of himself, he was a little drunk. "Don't think about that fiefdom! Zhang Yi resigned from everything, and only then did he know happiness. Zhang Yi expects that the battle between Qin and Zhao will be won. I can also advise you, don't kill too much, degree! He laughed, laughing drunkenly. degree, such as wine, drinkable, happy. Drink more, be happy! But tomorrow, it will be difficult for the old decay to enter again! β
"Thank you brother for the reminder!" Bai Qi also drank the wine in the cup, and he was also drunk. "How does King Qin know? That piece of land was laid by me for nothing, and he dared to do it... Hahaha! β
"Don't talk about it! Don't talk about it! Zhang Yi interrupted him.
Then, he called into Bai Qi's entourage and helped Bai Qi to walk out.
Zhang Yi burst into tears, both a sense of loss of glory and a hint of whiteness.
