Chapter 269 Those who do not seek a moment, seek eternity (seek to be complete)

The definition of human life is not limited to physical, but also mental.

The question of how to prove that he is alive has plagued the earliest human beings who had nothing to do when they were well fed.

So in the long process of thinking, this person defines something called memory.

Not only does he have to use his own memories to prove that he is alive, but he also needs to prove that he is alive from the memories of his peers, and that he will continue from generation to generation.

So this kind of thinking spread among a group of people who had enough to eat and nothing to do, and finally merged with civilization and society, and became the third thing that human beings first pursued, in addition to food and reproduction.

Fame.

A combination of merit and fame, this thing is ethereal, but it has the magic to change the world.

Countless people have chosen fame in front of fame and life, which may be the most ridiculous and correct evolution that human beings have ever made.

And in the long time, the threshold of fame has become higher and higher, and it has become more and more difficult, making countless people struggling to pursue it, just to prove that they are alive.

Wang Qian, Wang Ben, and Wang Li's three generations of the Wang family are undoubtedly the most famous people in Daqin today, with three generations of one family, fifteen years, destroying the five countries, and leveling the world.

In the face of such a feat, even the remnants of the six countries who were destroyed should be praised, which is unparalleled in the world.

But most people are forgetful, and they forget how long a history there was before the Qin State dominated the world.

If there was no such history, how could there be the grand hegemony of Great Qin today.

It's just because people forget, and unfortunately, no one reminds them.

Maybe it's because that period of history has passed, and those people in history are also dead.

Wang Li is nineteen years old this year, and the year he was born was the year Zhang Tang 'died'.

At the age of thirteen, Ganluo devised a plan, and the white wolf with empty gloves deceived more than a dozen military cities from Zhao State for Yingzheng.

And the price of these dozen or so important military cities is the reputation and life of Zhang Tang, the general of the Qin State.

In this matter, whether it is Yingzheng or Ganluo, it can be regarded as a poisonous plan, using the life of Zhang Tang, an old minister who has made great achievements for Great Qin, as a bait, first forcing Zhang Tang to go to Yan to be the prime minister, creating the illusion of a Qin-Yan alliance for Zhao State, and then Ganluo lobbied Zhao to mourn King Xiang in exchange for eleven military cities, on the condition that he would not ally with Yan State, so that Zhao State would continue to attack Yan State justifiably.

And Zhang Tang was sacrificed as an 'expensive' pawn.

Because when Yan Guo found out that Qin State did not send troops to aid Yan, he would inevitably vent all his anger on Zhang Tang, and Zhang Tang would definitely die.

And even if Zhang Tang survived, when Yan and Zhao reconciled, Zhang Tang would also sacrifice the flag as a sacrifice for the Five Kingdoms to attack Qin.

After all, anyone who finds out that he has been deceived like this will not give up, so this Zhang Tang Xiangyan incident triggered an important battle that determined the direction of the late Warring States period.

The Battle of the Five Kingdoms against Qin.

In this battle, the Qin State relied on the natural danger of Hangu Pass, with its own sufficient preparations, and directly crushed the Five Nations Alliance Army with Pang Xuan as the general and Huang Xie as the commander with one blow, and then caused the five countries to be exhausted, so that in the face of the Qin offensive, there was no power to counterattack, and they could only protect themselves.

In the future, when this battle is recorded in the history books, Zhang Tang's name will basically not appear, because no matter from which point of view, this strategy of using his own important ministers as bait is not glorious, and the emperor will not mention the record.

And the name Zhang Tang will also disappear because of this, as if it had never appeared, along with all his blood and sweat for Daqin.

The Battle of Changping was a battle in which Qin gambled on the fortunes of the country for thousands of years, because in the early stage of the Battle of Changping, although Bai Qi conquered the hinterland of Zhao and slaughtered the young and strong of Zhao, but in the later stage, because Bai Qi was jealous of Fan Ju and was killed, the command of the entire battle against Zhao fell on Wang Ji and Wang Ling, but the Battle of Changping did not end.

After Wang Ling attacked Handan, he lost 100,000 soldiers in a year, so that the Qin army suffered a heavy blow, and after switching to Wang Ji, he still did not attack Handan, but was defeated by Chunshenjun Huang Xie to attack Chu Jun, and lost 300,000 Qin Ruishi in a battle, which is equivalent to the loss of seventy percent of Qin's troops in the Battle of Changping, if it did not resist Chunshenjun's attack, then Qin may face annihilation.

And at this time, Wei Wuji, the Xinling Jun of Wei, sent troops to aid Zhao and Chunshenjun Huang Xie to attack Qin.

Zhang Tang led a small number of improvised Qin troops to penetrate deep into the territory of Wei as dead soldiers, outflanking the Wei army and cutting off the Wei army's rear supply with lightning power, forcing the Wei army to withdraw ahead of schedule.

After that, he responded to the defeat of Handan's Wang Di, and turned around to capture Xinningzhong County, occupying the favorable terrain to defend and repel the Chu-Wei coalition army, and because of this battle, Xinningzhong County was renamed Anyang, and Zhang Tang was named Anyang Jun.

It can be said that if Zhang Tang had not been ordered in the late Tang Dynasty, then the Battle of Changping, which gambled on the thousand-year-old national fortune of the Qin State, would have fallen short, and there would be a danger of destroying the country.

No matter how prominent Bai Qi's military exploits were before, if there was no Zhang Tang, Daqin would eventually end up in Changping, and Zhang Tang's name would also resound among the Six Kingdoms.

It is precisely because of Zhang Tang's prestige that Ganluo was able to deceive the eleven cities of Zhao State, and he was able to conspire with ghosts and talents, and worship the past and the present at the age of thirteen.

And Zhang Tang may never have expected that his exploits in turning the tide would most regret becoming the butcher's knife that buried his life.

"Therefore, in the hegemony of the unification of Great Qin, Mr. Zhang Tang has made great contributions, and if you talk about military exploits, it is indeed on par with your eldest father, after all, he faced the last elite of Chu and Wei back then, as well as Huang Xie and Wei Wuji." After Wang Xu briefly introduced Zhang Tang's achievements to Wang Li, he said with a smile.

Wang Li's face was solemn, and he got up to formally apologize to Zhang Tang, but Zhang Tang held down his shoulder.

"That's it." Zhang Tang smiled, "Even you haven't heard of my name, then, the old man is indeed a criminal minister of Great Qin." ”

After speaking, Zhang Tang slowly untied his robe and took it off, folded it carefully, carefully smoothed all the wrinkles on it and put it aside, brushed his white beard bare, and said in a relaxed tone, "In this way, it will be much cooler." ”

may be because he is too old, Wang Xu found Zhang Tang's hands trembling.

Wang Li looked at Zhang Tang's body that was already so thin that his ribs were exposed, the skeleton of a person who practiced martial arts was thick, so it was even more obvious, and the appearance of skin and bones looked a little terrifying, but what was even more terrifying was the dense scars on his body, and there was almost no good skin.

Wang Li knew that these scars were all meritorious deeds that created the hegemony of Great Qin.

I don't know why, Wang Li suddenly had a sad sadness of the dead fox and the rabbit.

"The old gentleman has a strong body and is a man of long life." Wang Xu smiled and took off the white robe on his body and put it on Zhang Tang.

Zhang Tang hesitated, did not refuse, rubbed Wang Xu's white robe and said with a smile, "Thank you for the emperor's favor, but the lonely bamboo is still white?" ”

"Yin Shang Shang Bai." Wang Xu smiled, "Sir, how does white compare to Xuan?" ”

"Elegant, but not tolerant of dirt." Zhang Tang lowered his eyelids and smiled.

"If it's dirty, just wash it, although the dark color is dirty, but no matter how you wash it, you can't wash it clean." Wang Xu smiled.

Zhang Tang's old eyes suddenly coldened, and he stared at Wang Xu, "What does the emperor mean, forget it?" ”

"I know that the old gentleman is angry, and it is difficult to calm down." Wang Xu said softly, "But the old gentleman might as well think about it, the original intention." ”

"What is the original intention?" Zhang Tang said in a deep voice.

"It's the ambition you made when you were stabbed for the first time." Wang Xu said with a smile.

Zhang Tang was slightly stunned, his expression was in a trance, and his originally fierce gaze gradually became distant, "The original intention?" It's been so long that I've forgotten it. ”

"You can think of it after all, as long as the old gentleman wants to." Wang Xu smiled.

Zhang Tang seemed to have been groaning for a long time, and finally shook his head and sighed, "The old man is really old, and he can't remember his original intentions, he only remembers the old grudge." ”

"Who does the old gentleman resent?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.

"The old man serves King Zhaoxiang, King Xiaowen, King Zhuangxiang and King Qin IV, all of whom are Mingjun, and they are lucky for their courtiers, but they are traitors!" Zhang Tang's wrinkled face trembled, and he said hatefully, "Wu Anjun hated Fan Li before he died, hated not being able to eat his flesh raw, and the old man hated Ganluo, and hated not being able to cut it with a thousand knives!" ”

"Ganro." Wang Xu pursed his lips, he really didn't know the whereabouts of this magical name, and looked at Wang Li.

"Ganluo, ten years ago, because of Zeng Lu Buwei's rebellion and Huan Qi's collaboration with the enemy, he committed suicide by drinking doves, but King Qin remembered his feelings and merits and kept it a secret." Wang Li licked his lips and said.

"Dead?" Zhang Tang's breath stagnated, and his eyes widened.

Wang Li nodded.

"Impossible." Zhang Tang's expression changed greatly, and he seemed unwilling to believe that "Ganluo, the vertical son, has a clever tongue and a vicious mind, but there is absolutely no possibility of betraying the King of Qin, let alone committing suicide." ”

"After you disappeared, a lot of things happened in the palace." Wang Li touched his neck, "Lü Buwei's dictatorship is not tolerated by the king, Ganluo offered advice to Lü Buwei to favor the queen mother, and then Chang Yu took advantage of the king's weak crown to launch a palace rebellion, and after suppressing it, he implicated Lü Buwei, and exposed tens of thousands of people in Xianyang City. ”

"Lü Buwei." Zhang Tang's eyes were a little confused, he frowned, shook his head, and muttered, "No, no." ”

"Chang Yu palace chaos was razed by the three clans, Lü Buwei was afraid of the crime, Ganluo and offered advice, to assist the son Cheng Cheng to usurp the throne, the son Cheng Cheng surrendered to Zhao rebellion, the king sent my eldest father, Ah Weng, Huan Qi sent troops to quell the chaos, my eldest father persuaded the son to surrender to Cheng Chan, but on the way back to Beijing, he was poisoned, Lu Buwei saw the general trend and went to resign, returned to the fiefdom to retire, and was also poisoned on the way, and then Gan Luo committed suicide by drinking doves." Wang Li said softly: "This matter is true, Ganluo's body was sent by the King of Qin to be buried by Ah Weng himself." ”

Zhang Tang shrugged his shoulders in amazement, and shook his head as if he was still a little confused, "It shouldn't be, it shouldn't." ”

"Okay, let's go in and talk when the sun is too big, we haven't eaten lunch yet." Wang Xu interrupted the two with a smile and took the lead into the palace.

The Xiangping Palace is not good in appearance like it, it may be that King Yan is really not ready to come, so the repair is very ordinary, and it is more regular than the palace of Baidi in Xucheng.

However, in the huge palace, there are not too many seats, but all kinds of weapons and equipment, siege machinery sand table models, and a huge map, which seems to be a map around Xiangping City.

Let Yu Chun set up a barbecue grill outside to prepare lunch, and Wang Xu studied the map.

Zhang Tang and Wang Li chatted for a while, and Wang Li took out the bamboo slips with a strange face and began to write a letter, which seemed to be written to Wang Ben.

"The emperor is tired of traveling, you might as well take a bath." Zhang Tang walked over and said with a smile.

"I slept in the carriage so hard that I couldn't sleep anymore." Wang Xu smiled and pointed to a few flags on the map, "This is barbarian strength?" ”

"Red is Buyeo, blue is cautious, and white is wofu." Zhang Tang introduced.

"Where's the basket?" Wang Xu frowned.

"Miko?" Zhang Tang raised his eyebrows slightly, "The old man has been in charge of Xiangping for more than ten years, and I have never seen it." ”

"Miko is dead?" Wang Xu was shocked in his heart, it shouldn't be, even if Buyeo has been founded now, it will not destroy Jizi Korea, at least wait for more than 20 years for Wei Man to completely assimilate and exterminate it, and even Bai Dibu still has dealings with Jizi Korea, there should be no news from Xiangping City.

Is there a mistake in the historical record of the territory?

Wang Xu frowned and thought about the location on the map, the location of Xiangping City can basically be determined, to the south is the Liaodong Peninsula, the Dalian area in later generations, and it is also the main area that Wang Xu is preparing to develop.

The Liaodong Peninsula is backed by mountains on one side and surrounded by sea on three sides, and as long as it concentrates on developing its navy, it can basically be regarded as invincible in the world.

I thought that this should be the domain of Mingo Korea, and there would be a fierce battle, but it doesn't seem to be, could it be that at this time, Jizi Korea is already in the Korean Peninsula region?

What kind of force is there outside Shanhaiguan?

Shaking his head, Wang Xu was going to go back and see Zhou Hong'er and Zang Di's news, and then make a decision.

"The emperor wants to find Jizi Korea?" Zhang Tang saw the change in Wang Xu's face and asked.

"If Guzhu wants to unify the Northern Wasteland, he must deal with these forces." Wang Xu smiled.

"Unify the Northern Wilderness?" Zhang Tang was slightly stunned, "The northern wilderness is barbaric, although the land is vast but there is no cultivated soil, and the climate is cold, the emperor might as well go south to the hometown of Donghu, where there are successive grasslands, the land is flat, and far away from the Central Plains." ”

"The Northern Wasteland is richer than you think, and the old gentleman will be able to see it in the future." Wang Xu smiled.

"Please forgive the emperor, the old man is just a dry bone, if it weren't for the resentment and agreement in his heart, he would have found a place to bury himself a long time ago." Zhang Tang coughed and said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise and wait for these doll armies for fifteen years." Wang Xu smiled.

Zhang Tang nodded, "Thank you for the emperor's understanding, Xiangping City has been isolated for more than ten years, although it has been occasionally harassed by barbarians, but it is basically comfortable, the hegemony that the emperor wants, please forgive the old man for not having a chance to meet." ”

"Old man, do you want to die here?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.

"An old ghost who died more than ten years ago, how can he talk about life and death." Zhang Tang chuckled.

"Since the old gentleman can't figure it out, then I might as well ask again, does the old gentleman want to wash that big Qin finch anymore?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.

Zhang Tang seemed unmoved, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Wash, naturally you have to wash, and you have to wash thoroughly!" ”

Zhang Tang's words are categorical and extraordinary.

"I've always wondered why, you are all sure that Gongzi Fusu knows his life experience, and he will still choose Yan Kingdom." Wang Xu asked with some confusion.

"It's not that he chooses Yan Kingdom, but he can only choose Yan Kingdom." Zhang Tang shook his head, "If within fifteen years, the world is stable, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms are unable to make a comeback, then Gongzi Fusu should become the crown prince, and after the death of King Qin, Gongzi Fusu ascends the throne, and naturally Yanguo and the old man will be given justice." ”

"How so?" Wang Xu was puzzled.

"Because of Gongzi Fusu, he has been practicing Confucianism since he was a child." Zhang Tang sighed lightly, "The old man was ashamed and indignant when he found out that he was murdered by Ganluo, but Yan Wangxi did not anger the old man, but treated him with courtesy, but the old man is a Qin minister, Qin can be a traitor, and a minister cannot rebel!" ”

"Old gentleman Gao Yi." Wang Xu said softly.

"But after all, it's still cold, the king is also an old man who grew up, and he is a distressing child." Zhang Tang sighed deeply again, "If King Qin clearly wanted the old man to be martyred at that time, the old man would also be duty-bound, alas." ”

"Although I haven't met Qin Zheng, I guess that he is not a frank person, and at that time, he was not weak, and the affairs of the government were still in charge of Lu Buwei." Wang Xu said.

"That's right." Zhang Tang smiled, "Actually, the old man also deserves it, he was afraid of Lu Buwei's obscenity at the beginning, and he ended up like this." ”

Wang Xu smiled and did not speak.

"But after all, I was still resentful, so when Yan Wangxi told his son Fusu's life experience, the old man introduced him to an old friend." Zhang Tang said softly, "But I don't know, that old guy is still there." ”

"Is it a Confucian student?" Wang Xu frowned.

"It's a big Confucian." Zhang Tang smiled: "Jixia Xuegong Xunzi's closed disciple, Mao Jiao." ”

Wang Xu's pupils shrank.

It turned out to be him? The rotten Confucian who used filial piety to coerce Yingzheng to conform to the law.

Such a Confucian who is proficient in filial piety taught the son Fusu, there is no doubt that filial piety will be put in the first place, and when the time comes, he will choose Yan Guo, at least for his mother's name.

On the other hand, if the world is in chaos, the military and government of the Qin State will naturally take care of themselves, and Yingzheng has more than 20 sons, and it will definitely return to the Zhou Dynasty period, the situation of the division of the heroes, at this time, the Yan State provided 100,000 elite soldiers can be said to be the greatest reliance of the prince Fusu.

I have to say that Yan Wangxi's plan can be called the best of both worlds, and it doesn't leak.

And what's even more terrifying is that it's really a big conspiracy that has been hidden for nearly 20 years.

Sure enough, those who don't plan for a while will plan for eternity.
