Chapter 171: Outside and Inside
The king of Qin died, and the Qin country was in chaos. The five kingdoms of Han, Wei, Chu, Yue, and Qi came to Qin with different purposes in the name of funeral. After the crown prince succeeded to the throne, the first challenge he faced was how to deal with the envoys of the five countries. With the efforts of Qin Wangdang and his ministers, Qin Wangsi was buried in the royal tomb, and the envoys of the Five Kingdoms did not give birth to chaos in Qin, which is enough to prove that Qin Wangdang is a qualified monarch. He can shoulder the rise and fall of the Qi and Qin countries.
The turmoil of the envoys from the five countries has just gone, Chen Zhuang in Shu has rebelled, and Yiqu Koubian has been around. Qin Wangdang took Gan Mao as his general, led 30,000 troops, and entered Shu to quell the rebellion. With the general of Dashu Chang Yingji, he led 100,000 troops to attack Yiqu in the north.
The road in Shu is rugged and difficult to travel, and the Golden Bull Road is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Gan Mao didn't know much about the customs of Shu. In order to ensure victory, let the Qin army unite the counterinsurgency army. Gan Mao suggested to Qin Wangdang that Sima Cuo be the deputy general and enter Shu together to quell the rebellion. Gan Mao's actions made King Qin's body shake. Qin Wangdang quickly calmed down and listened to Gan Mao's reason for Sima Cuo as his deputy general. After careful consideration, Qin Wangdang only said one word to Gan Mao... You are the chief general of the rebellion in Shu, and you can decide who will be the deputy general.
Gan Mao received the king's promise and immediately came to Sima Co's mansion, wanting to invite him to enter Shu to quell the rebellion. However, Sima Xiang, the housekeeper of Sima Mansion, told Gan Mao that Sima was wrongly ill. When Gan Mao heard this, he was not surprised at all. Sima Cuo is not sick, but has heart disease.
Gan Mao left a letter to Sima Xiang and asked him to forward it to Sima Co. Sima Xiang received the letter and bowed to send it off. Gan Mao looked at Sima's mansion for a while, and he hoped that Sima Cuo could ignore his previous suspicions, focus on the overall situation, and follow him into Shu to quell the rebellion.
The conquest of Bashu, Sima Coo became famous in the first battle, and also became one of the famous generals under the command of King Qin Hui. Chen Zhuang Shu rebelled, and Sima Co was the best candidate to enter Shu to quell the rebellion. Sima Cuo also took the initiative to invite Ying into Shu to quell the rebellion, but Qin Wangdang did not agree. Sima Cuo therefore had to miss this battle to quell the rebellion in Shu.
Sima Coo returned to the mansion, sullen, and summoned his subordinates to drink in the courtyard. After the wine was hearty, Sima Xiang stepped forward and said, "General, this is a letter left by Gan Mao. ”
The crowd scolded, "What is he doing here?" ”
"Above the court, the king chose him. He's here to make fun of me. Sima Cuo said coldly: "Show me the letter." I would like to know how Gan Mao will be rampant and how he will deceive me. Sima Xiang handed over the letter and watched Sima Cuo's every move. He thought that Sima would be furious if he misread the contents of the letter. But seeing Sima Cuo, he smiled faintly, "Prepare your armor and prepare to go on the expedition"
The crowd asked, "General, where are we going to conquer?"
Sima Coo looked at everyone and replied, "Shudi"
Everyone reminded: "The king did not let the general conquer Shu. The general's insistence on going on a campaign is a great crime. The king will not be glad when he learns of it. ”
"Don't be alarmed." Sima Cuo pointed to the letter that was put aside, "Gan Mao said in the letter that he invited me to become a deputy general and attack Shu together"
Deputy General Zhang Feng said emotionally: "The general attacked Bashu and attacked the Chu State, and his reputation was great. Gan Mao is a rat, how can a general be his lieutenant. The last general, not convinced. ”
The crowd also shouted, "I'm not convinced." ”
"You will join me in the battle against Bashu and the country of Chu. You are upset about the grievances that Sima suffered wrongly. I am deeply grateful. Please take the overall situation first, and it is nothing for Sima to be wronged. Sima Cuo looked around at the crowd: "Danyang, Lantian, Gan Mao has meritorious service to the Qin State. It's just that Gan Mao is a fetter, and the king is suspicious. Gan Mao's talent is not below me. If he can have a stage to display his talents, he will definitely shine in the Qin State one day. ”
Sima Feng said indignantly: "The general broke Bashu, attacked the Chu State, and became famous, how could he become the deputy general of Ganmao." Gan Mao invited the general as a lieutenant, which was really humiliating. Put down the rebellion in Shu and let Gan Mao do it. If Gan Mao's rebellion is unfavorable, the situation in Shu will be chaotic. When the king realizes his mistake, he reinforces the general. How can a general's talent be a deputy. ”
"In the battle of Danyang, Gan Mao cooperated with the chief of the great concubine and the general Wei Zhang to behead 80,000 Chu troops. I will not feel humiliated as his lieutenant general. Sima Cuo stared at everyone present with a soft gaze, "If you want to gain a foothold in the Qin State, you can't suffer from gains and losses. As a monarch, the most taboo is the arrogance of his subordinates. Gan Mao invited me to be a deputy general, which also made me famous again. How can I live up to his good intentions? ”
"Gan Mao couldn't pacify the Shu Rebellion before he invited the general."
Sima beckoned, "Okay, I have made up my mind, let him attack Bashu." ”
Gan Mao led a large army and stationed thirty miles away from Xianyang. Ren Yan asked: "Why did General Gan stay here and not send troops directly to Shu." ”
Sima Coo looked in the direction of Xianyang and said abruptly, "I'm waiting for someone." ”
Gan Ying asked, "Father, who are you waiting for?" ”
Gan Mao said heavily: "Sima is wrong. ”
Ren said disdainfully: "Sima is arrogant, how can he come to help the general pacify Shudi." ”
Gan Ying also said: "Father, General Ren is right. Sima Cuo won't come. ”
Gan Mao smiled: "Bashu is Sima Cuo's work, I believe that he will come." ”
Gan Yingzou frowned and said worriedly: "Father, aren't you afraid that Sima Cuo will not obey the command?" ”
Ren Yan also said: "General Gan, forgive me for talking too much." Entering Shu to quell the rebellion, the outcome is unpredictable. The situation on the battlefield is extremely dangerous, and if Sima Co secretly plays intrigue and trickery in Shudi, it will be unfavorable to you. ”
Gan Mao said confidently: "Sima Cuo is a big husband, and his family and country are all over the world. He will not murder me for his own selfish gain. There will be no confusion about priorities. Pingshudi, no need to make Sima mistakes, it is really a waste of talents. ”
Gan Ying thought for a moment, and also felt that it made sense, "If Sima is wrong, my father won't keep waiting." ”
"Tomorrow at noon, there is no figure of Sima Cuo." Gan Mao sighed: "The army is open. ”
The next day, noon had passed. I don't see Sima Cuo and others. Gan Ying persuaded: "Father, Sima Cuo will not come." Let's go to Shu as soon as possible to quell the chaos. ”
Gan Mao's heart was full of loss, and he thought that Sima was wrong for the sake of the overall situation, and he would follow him into Shu to quell the rebellion. However, Sima Co never appeared. Gan Mao waved his big hand forward and gave the order. "All open."
30,000 Qin troops marched to Shu to quell the rebellion. Gan Mao stared in the direction of Xianyang and refused to leave for a long time. Gan Ying urged: "Father, let's go." ”
At this moment, Gan Mao looked at a cloud of dust in the distance, and said happily: "Sima is wrong. ”
After a short time, Sima Coo led the generals to come. Gan Mao personally stepped forward to greet him, "General Sima Cuo, I've finally waited for you." I thought you wouldn't come. ”
Sima mistakenly said, "I don't want to come either." But no one is more familiar with the situation in Shuzhong than I am. ”
"General, being able to focus on the overall situation is really a national soldier." Gan Mao clenched his fists with both hands, "If you enter Shu to quell the rebellion, you have to rely on the general." ”
Sima Cuo was not too big, and returned the salute: "I am willing to listen to your dispatch." ”
Gan Mao and Sima Cuo cooperated tacitly and broke through the Golden Bull Road in one fell swoop. Enter Shuzhong and kill Chen Zhuang. Due to the appropriate pacification measures of Gan Mao, there was no large-scale turmoil in Shu, and the rebels all surrendered. Pacifying the Shu Rebellion, this was the first good news that Qin Wangdang got in Xianyang. Win the disease and go out to fight the righteous canal, and return with a big victory. This is the second piece of good news that Qin Wangdang received. Although the rebellion in Shu has been pacified, how to effectively govern it is something that Qin Wangdang has to consider urgently.
At this time, Ying Hui came to Xianyang Palace, "Minister, meet the king." ”
When King Qin saw him, he suddenly had an idea, raised his hand and said, "Brother Hui doesn't need to be polite. ”
Ying Hui didn't understand Qin Wangdang's meaning, and he didn't dare to be polite, so he replied respectfully: "Thank you, your lordship." ”
Qin Wangdang put down the load in his heart and asked, "Although Gan Mao has pacified the Shu chaos. But how to govern Shu is a real headache for the widows. ”
Ying Hui thought for a while and said, "My father once ruled Shu with Shu. We might as well learn from the strategies of the previous kings. ”
Qin Wangdang shook his head and said, "Governing Shu with Shu is to stabilize the hearts of the people in Shu. ”
"The king wants to bring Shu directly under the jurisdiction of Qin."
That's what the widow wants. The widow is unwilling to fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames. Qin Wangdang looked at him and asked, "Among the many brothers, you and I have the most cordial relationship. Shu land is handed over to you, and the widow can rest assured. ”
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I'll live up to your expectations."
"The widow named you Shuhou, and Shu is your fiefdom. Shu is a little poor, but few people believe it. Under your rule, Shu will get better and better day by day. Brother Hui, are you willing to share the worries of the widows? ”
Ying Hui thanked him and said: "Minister, I am willing to share the worries of the king." ”
King Dang of Qin sent Ying Hui into Shu and more than 20 capable ministers to assist him in governing Shu. Gan Mao stabilized the situation in Shuzhong and led his troops back to China. King Qin held a banquet in Xianyang Palace to reward meritorious soldiers. Break the five countries of Han, Wei, Qi and Chu to envoys, pacify Bashu, and attack Yiqu and Danli. Qin Wangdang solved the external troubles and stabilized the court. Next, what he had to do was Anne.
Qin Wangdang asked Zhang Yi to be summoned into the palace. When Zhang Yi entered the palace, the soldiers he saw along the way already understood that he could not gain a foothold in the Qin State. Today is also the day he left the Qin State.
Qin Wang Dang saw Zhang Yi and said directly: "Zhang Yi, the minister has a lot of complaints about you, and the widow can't keep you." ”
Zhang Yi looked into Qin Wangdang's eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, are you trying to kill me?" ”
Qin Wangdang looked at him with cold eyes and asked, "Zhang Yi, are you afraid of death?" ”
"The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. It is not surprising that the king wants to kill me. Zhang Yi is a disciple of the market, a person who forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, how can he not be afraid of death. Zhang Yi laughed wildly: "Is the king planning to kill Zhang Yi and Liwei?" ”
"Break the five countries, calm the Shu chaos, and cut down the righteous canal. The widow has long been established. Zhang Yi, don't think of the widow so unbearable. You are not Gongsun Marting, and the widow does not hate you. I don't want your life either. Qin Wangdang's expression instantly stiffened, and he said with a gloomy face: "Zhang Yi, you have been in the Qin State for a day." The widow will have trouble sleeping. You're a powerful character, and no one can control you. King Qin said sharply: "Zhang Yi, let's go!" The Qin State doesn't need you, and the widows don't need you. ”
"The king will not kill me. The minister of Qin will not let me go. Zhang Yi couldn't get out of Xianyang alive. Zhang Yi shook his shoulders and smiled fiercely: "The king wants to borrow someone else's hand to get rid of Zhang Yi." High, really high. ”
Qin Wang Dang snorted coldly: "Zhang Yi, you are a smart person. You are a disciple of the Zongheng family. You have been able to serve as a minister in the Qin State for decades, and you have won the favor of your father, which is enough to see that you are a difficult person to deal with. The widow believes that you will use your mouth and strategy to get out of Xianyang alive. ”
Zhang Yi didn't see a trace of murderous aura in King Qin's eyes, "The king won't kill me." I also give the king a gift. It was a congratulatory gift from me to the king to succeed to the throne, and it was also the last time I served the Qin State. ”
Qin Wangdang asked, "What do you want to give to the widow?" ”
"The king sent me to Wei, and Qi will attack it. The princes fought against each other, and the world was in chaos. The Qin State can rest and recuperate, and only then can it rule the world. ”
"The widow accepts the gift." Qin Wang waved his hand and said, "Zhang Yi, let's go!" Widow, I don't want to see you again. The widow is also afraid that if he can't control it, he will kill you. You immediately send an envoy to Wei in the name of Qin, and flee for your life! The widow is looking forward to fighting you, too. ”
When the eldest chief heard that the king was planning to do something to Zhang Yi, he hurriedly entered the palace and asked, "Your Majesty, how do you plan to treat Zhang Yi." ”
King Qin said: "The widow will not reuse him, nor will he kill him." ”
"Zhang Yi knows a lot of secrets of the Qin State, and the king doesn't use him and doesn't kill him. Nor can he be allowed to leave the Qin State. Win Ji said worriedly: "Gongsun Yan left the Qin State and united the princes to bring us a great disaster. Your Majesty, the lessons of the past must not be forgotten. ”
"It's late, Zhang Yi left Qin and went to Wei."
"Minister, let's send troops to chase Zhang Yi back."
"Chief, let Zhang Yi go! Zhang Yi has made a lot of contributions to the Qin State. If you don't kill him, your father confessed before he died. If the widow kills him, he will also be infamous for killing heroes, and it will also chill the hearts of many scholars. Qin Wang said: "Gongsun Yan is Gongsun Yan." Zhang Yi is Zhang Yi. Zhang Yi left the Qin State and was nothing. If Zhang Yi is really talented, he will lead the troops of the princes to destroy the Qin State. The whole country is facing the battle. Without the order of the widow, who dares to kill Zhang Yi and destroy the three clans. ”
