Chapter Eighty-Four: Something Different
It was the height of summer when I went to Daliang, and when I returned to Yingdu, it didn't take long for the weather to turn cold. Xiong Jing was in the army for a long time last year, and this year, on the contrary, he has been in the rear. The front-line battle was occasional, and Meng Tian was still stubbornly resisting at the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains with the help of the mountain, and in order to save gunpowder, the Chu army generally bombarded and advanced step by step; The Chuba coalition army surrounded Chengdu, the capital of Shu, and the envoy to persuade him to surrender had been dispatched, believing that news of victory would come soon.
In such a situation, Xiong Jing naturally became idle, and seeing the autumn wind gradually rising and the chrysanthemum crab fattening, he almost sighed that the years were quiet. The years are quiet and unlucky, ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, he just thought that the years were quiet the day before, and the next day he knew that he was the secretary of the other side of the Yin Don't I came to the door.
"The minister has seen the king and the son-in-law." Don't wait for Nao Xin and I to wait for the second day to see the court, the two of them came to the south of the city at the light hour in the evening, and Xiong Jing was eating with Mi Xuan at this time. The belly of seven or eight months was very big, and several doctors in the Chu Palace said that it was a prince, and the grievances in the depths of the palace deepened a little.
The maid carefully helped Mi Xuan to retreat into the room, and when all the irrelevant people retreated, Xiong Jing quickly changed from a kind and warm-hearted husband to a king who was not angry and arrogant, he looked directly at me and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Majesty, the Qin people are different." Don't I care about Xiong Jing's gaze, just as he doesn't care about the contemptuous and disgusted gazes of the courtiers.
"What's the difference?" Hearing that it was a Qin person, Xiong Jing's eyes relaxed a little, and asked Don Ji me and Nao Xin to sit down and talk.
"The Prime Minister of the Qin people ordered that more than 2,000 catties of Qin cattle in each county were levied." The little strategist didn't know the crops, so he asked for more than 3,000 catties of Qin cattle, and divided by four for 3,000 catties, which was more than 700 kilograms, and even if there were more than 700 kilograms of cattle, there were very few. This request was transmitted to the State Governor's Mansion, and the State Governor's Mansion immediately cut off a thousand catties according to the actual situation, and there were very few Qin cattle of more than 700 kilograms, and there were many Qin cattle of 500 kilograms.
"Two thousand catties of Qin Niu?" Xiong Jing read the number. He knew that the pulling output of the ox was greater than that of the horse, but he didn't know how much more.
"The counties in which the Qin people raise cattle are about 200, and each county has 1,000 or 200,000." Nao channel. He had been by Xiong Jing's side and knew the details of the horse trade between the State of Chu and the livestock merchant Duan Quan. "The Qin people have no money to buy horses, so they recruit servant cattle, which is the harbinger of the Qin people's slaughter."
The news from Hou Spy was that Zhang Cang had been serving as the commander of Taicang for a few days, and he had gone back to drink human milk (it is said that this person lived for more than 100 years because of drinking human milk). This shows that the Qin people's plan to collect gold has completely failed, coupled with the loss of gold-producing land, the domestic gold has been plundered, and the gold available in the treasury has become very small, and it is no longer possible to buy horses. The Qin people did not have the money to buy horses, but the Qin State had more cattle than the Kwantung countries combined, about more than one million heads. The horses did not have enough cattle to manage, and this situation was not unanticipated by the Operations Division.
"Servant cow? Servant cattle eat twice as much as horses, eating 20 kilograms a day...... [Note 32]" Xiong Jing said as he recalled the conclusion given by the combat division.
"King, the Qin people's servant ox weighs more than two thousand catties, and my country's cattle are only more than a thousand catties, and Fu Neng can compare with it." Nao Xin emphasized.
The cattle of Chu were smaller than those of Qin, and except for Huaibei County, there were few cattle ploughing in the rest of the county, and the cattle were either used to pull carts or eat. In later generations, there were buffaloes in the south of the Yangtze River, but there were none in this era, and the buffaloes were speculated to have come from the calf mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
Weight determines the pulling force, this is clear to Xiongjing, if each of the Qin people's servants and cows is more than two thousand catties, the logistics must be reconsidered. And this also shows that Chu's trade blockade strategy has completely failed. There were so many cattle in the Qin state, and these cattle could be replaced, or at least partially replaced, for horses, which was bound to increase the offensive range of the Qin army.
Don't be in a hurry to come to report the enemy's situation, and after the report, I will have to discuss it in the Da Sima Mansion tomorrow, after the two of them said goodbye, seeing that the man was a little sullen, Mi Xuan struck up.
The Great Liang Alliance of the Four Nations is not only an oath with the Ziqian family, but there are also offensive and defensive consultations between the four countries. Zhao was in exile, Wei was young, and the two countries couldn't twist their arms and thighs, but Chu was the first to look forward. Qi is different, Qi is not seriously injured, and he will not be able to fight to death, but he hopes that the Three Kingdoms can save Qi again, and when it comes to military power, Qi people will say a lot of nonsense about how Qi will die if it dies.
The State of Qi is indeed important, and the existence of the State of Qi is beneficial to the State of Chu and Zhao Wei, but the State of Qi has always wanted to stay out of the matter, which is unacceptable to the Three Kingdoms. Zhao Wei had a blood feud with the Qin State, and what they feared most was peace, and what they hoped for most was victory. Even if the disorganized attitude of the Qi State did not prompt the Chu and Qin to join forces, it would affect the victory of the Three Kingdoms in the war against Qin.
After a few days of talks, Zhao was the first to strike, and Wei did not follow Zhao, but talked with Xiong Jing with Qi In the end, under the stubbornness of the Qi people, the negotiation finally failed. The result of the Four Nations Alliance is like this, and now that the Qin army is preparing to attack Qi again, what will happen to the Chu State? Is it to rush to save the Qi State again, or is it still the Qi State that was broken by the Qin people and finally compromised with himself?
"Oops." When Xiong Jing thought of this, the Qi Xuan who had been built screamed.
"What's the matter?!" Xiong Jing hurriedly stepped forward to support her and looked at her a little nervously.
"King, he kicked me again." Mi Xuan pressed one hand on her chest and the other on her stomach, and her breathing became rapid.
"Kick you?" Xiong Jing's brows knotted, and he was in trouble. On one side is the son, on the other side is the wife, the son is still in the belly and has not come out, he can't solve any problems. "This shaft, this ......shaft," he said, he breathed. Ten times of moss before birth, in order to set an example. ”
"Giggle......" The husband's serious appearance made Mi Xuan laugh, the child in her belly was still kicking, but fortunately, the kick was not as heavy as the first time. She stroked her stomach and said, "Good boy, good boy, my father wants to moss you." Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mother is here, mother is here. ”
Mi Xuan rebelled in a blink of an eye, but Xiong Jing was not angry, compared with last year, the luster of motherhood made the once young woman gradually become a mellow young woman, Xiong Han looked at her talking in a daze.
"The King." Seeing her husband looking at herself, although she was already a wife, Mi Xuan couldn't help blushing. The last time Xiong Jing looked at her like this was on the day she got married.
"In three months, Xuan'er will really be a mother." Xiong Jing licked his teeth, his expression complicated.
"Yes." The stomach is heavy, and Mi Xuan's heart is also heavy, which is full of joy.
"This shaft," holding his wife's hand, Xiong Jing stroked her belly, "this shaft is so naughty before it is born, and it will grow up." ”
Fetal movement is normal after five months of pregnancy, but fetal movement is so common that the mother screams, and it is rare for the doctor to scream. Fortunately, this is not an abnormal movement, and after five months, the fetus will move every morning and evening, violently at first, and then slowly subside.
"That's the king's heir." Mi Xuan leaned on the man's arms, still coquettish. The king coaxed Xuan'er before he coaxed her, saying that he would check Xuan'er's body. The king's heirs......"
The troubles of the year were told by the woman, and Xiong Jing's ears suddenly became hot. I'm really a hooligan enough.,The fifteen-year-old girl was deceived into stripping naked in front of her eyes.,Let yourself go up and down.,It's really embarrassing for this matter to get out.,At least the character is going to collapse.。
"Ahem...... Regretted it? The old bear has thick skin, and his ears are hot, and he can still ask calmly.
"No regrets." Mi Xuan shook her head, but when she thought of her exposing herself in front of a man, her face burned.
Xiong Jing didn't notice his wife's reaction, thinking that the Qin army was about to cut down, he said something else: "It's already cold in October, don't enter the city again, and don't go out of Xiaoyi less." ”
"Yes." Mi Xuan agreed, and she asked casually, "Is there another war?" ”
"Why do you ...... So smart. Xiong Jing tapped the woman's nose. After surviving this winter, the Qin State will be weakened. If there is no major defeat in the countries within three or five years, the Qin state will be reduced. ”
Last year, the Qin State lost Nanyang, Nanjun, and this year, it lost Bashu Hanzhong, and next year the Qin State will be weakened. In the first few years of weakness, if you can't fight back, the Qin State will be completely weakened, and it will no longer be the opponent of the Chu State.
Standing at the pinnacle of power in the world, Xiong Jing can clearly feel the changes in the current situation. The reason why he said this was to tell Mi Xuan: At most, in five years, he will break off his marriage with the princesses of various countries and marry her as the queen.
Self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and levels the world, this order is correct. Only by straightening out oneself can one straighten out the Chu Palace; Only by straightening out the Chu Palace can the Chu State be straightened out; Only by straightening out the state of Chu can the world be straightened out. Xiong Jing is unwilling to govern the family, the country, and the world with Zhou rites, but it is not that he does not govern the family, govern the country, and level the world with Chu rites. The reason why the route struggle is called the route struggle is precisely because the route is different, not the destination.
Xiong Jing thinks so, but it is difficult to predict whether the current situation will be like this. Standing on the subversion of power in the world, he can feel the changes in the current situation, and he can also feel his own insignificance. No hero can fight against the current situation and fate alone, he can only go with it. However, the situation is predictable and can be reversed by relying on existing forces, but fate is impermanent.
"Qin, Qin will die?" Xiong Jing was slightly distracted, and Mi Xuan in his arms asked.
"If the state of Chu is here, the state of Qin will not die." Looking at the woman, what her husband said reminded her of the question she had thought about: Who is the enemy? "But if the state of Chu is dead...... Xiong Jing turned to another possibility, which was the last thing he wanted to accept.
"Xuan'er heard that Chu and Jin were also fighting each other for a hundred years, and then the two countries fought an alliance." Relying on her husband's favor, Mi Xuan said. "Chu and Qin, can't they kill the army?"
"I can't." Xiong Jing shook his head without thinking about it. "The state of Chu can kill troops, but the state of Qin cannot."
"Why not?" Mi Xuan was curious. "The king of Great Qin is supreme, the king says that a few is a few, why ......"
"The Qin State is all officials, and most of the officials are set up for war, if there is no war, where will the officials go?" Xiong Jing asked with a smile.
"However, if the king of Qin knows that Chu and Qin are really interdependent, he should no longer attack Chu." Mi Xuan is a little persistent.
"If they do not attack, the officials will be useless and greedy; The officials were dismissed, and the officials would inevitably rebel if they had no food, and the supremacy of the King of Qin was helpless. He was already sitting on top of hundreds of thousands of officials, how could there be a King of Qin without officials? Xiong Jing sighed. After he finished speaking, he didn't want his wife to ask again, so he said: "You can raise the fetus with peace of mind, and think about these things after giving birth." ”
