Lin Yuyan braved the rain to enter the house, Han Kui was cleaning up the bed, and his disciples were using the firewood in the house to make a fire, preparing to bake the rain-soaked coats of the two.

The waiter introduced Han Kui: "Shike, this is His Royal Highness Yan, the son of Daqin, and it is His Highness who promised Shike that you live in this room." ”

Only then did Han Kui look back at Lin Yuyan, and responded to the etiquette of the scholars of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and said: "The scholar of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the guard Han Kui, has seen Gongzi Qin!" ”

Lin Yuyan carefully looked at this patriotic soldier named Han Kui, his face was angular, his eyes were attentive, although he was studying abroad, sleeping in the open air, and his clothes were a little ragged, but the temperament in his bones could still be vaguely argued.

"Don't be polite to Hanzi."

Lin Yuyan waved his hand and said to Han Kui: "Han Zi said earlier that he wanted to solve my puzzles once, I don't know if it counts?" ”

"But the number problem of the previous childe?" Han Kui thought that he had only said the answer, and his steps had not yet been said, so I was afraid that this Great Qin prince still had some doubts.

Lin Yuyan said with a smile: "After all, it is a mathematical path, I want to ask Han Zi about the general trend of the world!" ”

Han Kui smiled bitterly, he didn't expect that this Qin Gongzi's eyes were like torches, and he asked about it.

Lin Yuyan said: "Han Zi is bound to know astronomy before the rain, Han Zi is a patriot, but he traveled to Lingnan, and he is bound to be familiar with the customs and geography of various places, and Han Zi is familiar with mathematics and physics, so Han Zi who asked should not refuse." ”

Lin Yuyan looked at Han Kui, a scholar of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and a guard, and only heard the latter slowly speak: "That Kui is to tell His Highness something about the situation in the eyes of ...... today."

"For example, today, the etiquette and music are broken, the dignity and humility are missing, the vassal states have attacked each other for hundreds of years, and rebelled against each other, the original nearly a thousand vassal states in the world can now be active in this male, there are less than hundreds, among them, can be the world's strong people, very few, the Eastern Qi State, because of the benefits of fishing and salt, the people are rich and the country is strong, in the past, the king of Qi will be allied, and all the princes of the world will go to establish the hegemony of the Central Plains of the King of Qi, and now the power of the ministers of the Qi State is stronger than the royal power, although the national strength is not as good as before, but after all, Yu Wei is still there."

"Then is the state of Chu, the state of Chu is the most extensive territory of the princes of the world, the border often spans thousands of miles, in the past, the national strength of the state of Chu was strong, so that the king of Chu and the bank of Luoshui asked the Zhou royal family about the importance of Jiuding, which shows its national strength! But in the past hundred years, the Chu State has not repaired its internal affairs, and the old nobles have competed to divide the Chu State Huyi, so that the fertile land of the Chu State for thousands of miles has been controlled by the old power nobles, and these old power aristocrats only know that they have levied and extorted taxes in the Huyi, so that the domestic tax revenue of the Chu State once reached ninety percent, and nine stones of the ten stone fields fell into the hands of those old power nobles, which shows their greed and the misery of the Chu people. ”

"More than ten years ago, there was a person in Luo who claimed to be the reincarnation of Zhu Rong, the god of Chu Di, and was ordered by Chu Tian to go down to help the suffering people, this Chu people were ignorant, this person was in Luo Di to do things, but more than 1,000 people, but half a year later, hundreds of thousands of responders, besieged the city, and claimed to be Zhu Rongmen, this Zhu Rong Tiangong is also quite a means, in Luo Di to rectify the soldiers and horses, the first few generals, is to go to the capital of Chu Yingdu, for a time mixed with millions of people and horses, the momentum is like a bamboo, the main army of Chu is also a blow to the crush, the king of Chu is from Yingdu to move the capital to Chudong, Let Chu Xi completely fall into the hands of this Zhurong Tiangong. ”

"After this Zhurong Tiangong occupied Yingdu, he proclaimed himself the Duke of Heaven, and established the Jing State, divided the kings, and almost divided hundreds of princes and kings, large and small, within the Jing Kingdom, there were many princes and dogs, and it was not a lie, because the people of Jing Kingdom all believed in the fire god Zhurong, and the perpetrators were all tied with a red scarf on their foreheads, so the people who broke out in western Chu were also called the [Red Turban Rebellion], after the Red Turban Rebellion, the Chu State moved east to Chu East, and half of the Chu State was ceded to the Jing State, so the national strength has been greatly inferior."

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan nodded, he knew a little about these beforehand, but he was by no means so clear, but he still asked: "What about the Jin Kingdom, they all say that the Jin Kingdom is the current overlord of the Central Plains, and please inform Han Zi." ”

"Jin State ......" Han Kui muttered the name, and then said: "The Jin State was also a powerful country at that time, but the name of the Jin State is difficult to live up to, the reason is that the power of the Jin Kingdom is now falling, and the power of the entire Jin Kingdom is controlled by three foreign surnames, namely the Jin Han family, the Jin Wei family, and the Jin Zhao family whose territory is in the north of the Jin State. The Jin Han clan was also controlled by the Jin Zhao clan, so the Jin kingdom is now also known as the Three Jins. ”

"Sanjin?" Lin Yuyan said emphatically.

Han Kui nodded and said: "That's true, the three Jin Dynasty are separated from Germany, although they are from the same country, but they are not advancing and retreating together, His Royal Highness sees that the Jin Han clan wants to annex the Qin of Lingnan, but the Jin Wei clan, who once defeated the Qin State in Hexi, wants to contain the Jin Han clan, which shows that there is a lot of friction between the three Jin Dynasty...... But among the three Jin Dynasty, the Jin Wei clan is the strongest, faintly has the meaning of becoming the head of the three Jin Dynasty, the Jin Han clan expansion is the most obvious, as the land of the four wars, the feud is also the least, so you have to want to annex the small country to accumulate strength, as for the Jin Zhao clan, it is stationed in the Jin State is also the northern border of the Central Plains of China, defending the northern alien race south, so the countries in the Central Plains are not very concerned about the hegemony. ”

"The Jin Zhao clan doesn't pay attention to the princes within the Central Plains attacking each other?" Lin Yuyan asked, after all, in such a troubled world now, with a strong force in his hands, it is unimaginable that he does not want to annex a small country.

Han Kui also knew what Lin Yuyan was thinking, and said: "Maybe it's not that it's not like paying attention, but it's really powerless to pay attention, where the Jin Zhao clan is, facing the Guirong, Lin Hu, Ghost Fang, Lou Fu and other tribes in the north of the Central Plains, these alien tribes are on the horse for the soldiers, and the people are on the horse, although the Jin Zhao clan is extremely strong, but it is still a little stretched to deal with these alien tribes...... Therefore, the main army of the Jin Zhao clan is in the north of the Jin Zhao clan's fiefdom, and there was a Zhongshan country that took advantage of the very few soldiers and horses in the south of the Jin Zhao clan to send troops to invade and occupy it, but the result was that the Jin Zhao clan opened a gap along the way to the Zhongshan country in the north, and deliberately led the foreign tribes to invade the Zhongshan country, and the Zhongshan country was in a slump, while the Jin Zhao clan stood in the north of the Central Plains, which shows the strength of its army. ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan nodded, if this Jin State was not divided into three families, which one of the Central Plains would be able to resist, in fact, think about it more, Qi Guo's vassal power is not strong, the old nobles of Chu State are not greedy, and these three countries have the strength to win the Central Plains.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuyan asked, "What about the Qin State?" What is the status among the nations? ”

In this regard, Han Kui also said bluntly: "It seems that Qi, Chu, and Jin were powerful countries at that time, even if they had their own incidents, but the wind of a great country still exists, followed by Yan, Lu, Song, Wei, Zheng, Lu, Wu, Yue, and other countries, these countries are either because of a large population, or because of a strong army, or because of the favorable time, place, and people, all belong to the second-rate countries in the world, in a sense, the battle of Hexi was defeated by Wei, and retreated to Lingnan, which has been listed with the Hanshui Zhuji, and is listed as a weak country in the world. ”

When Lin Yuyan heard this, he nodded deeply and nodded like many officials of Great Qin, who could not meet the treatment of carriages and even ox carts, like Wancheng, the capital of Great Qin, and the outer city wall would be dilapidated because of disrepair, how could there be such a scene in today's powerful country?

"Han Zi knows how to strengthen Qin?"

"Does that son know Wu Qi of the Jin Wei clan?"

"How do you not know, the battle of Wuqi Hexi defeated our Qin people, and the Qin people moved west and south."

Han Kui said: "This Wu Qi is a patriot, and he first studied Confucianism. Later, due to the change, abandoned Confucianism and joined the army, this person started from the Lu State, for the Lu State to defeat the then powerful Qi State, and then for the Lu State not tolerated, into the Jin Wei clan, the Jin Wei clan successively appointed this person to enter the phase, the Jin Wei clan became a strong country in the three Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop, the Jin Wei clan also relied on its own strength, 50,000 Wei warriors defeated 500,000 Qin troops in Hexi, Qin lost Guanzhong, moved south to the Qin Mountains, the Jin Wei clan was strong because of Wu Qi, even if the current Central Plains countries, can compete with the Wei warriors of the Jin and Wei clans, I am afraid that there are very few......"

『50,000 breaks 500,000......?! 〗

This humiliating history of the Qin people is also deliberately avoided by the Qin State, Rao is Lin Yuyan as the prince of the Great Qin, and he only knows that Qin was defeated by the Jin Wei clan in the Battle of Hexi, and the inside story is unknown.

Han Kui also said in passing: "The Wei warriors of the Jin Wei clan were personally trained by Wu Qi, but the conditions for training the warriors are really harsh, the population of the Jin and Wei clans is in the millions, but the number of Wei warriors is always only about 50,000, which is difficult, you can imagine!" ”

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan couldn't help but admire: "This Wu Qi is really a peerless national warrior, even if I am a Qin person, I am also eager for such brave generals......"

Han Kui was a little surprised when he heard this, it is true that from the words and deeds of this great Qin prince, he knew that he was broad-minded, hearing this sentence, his heart gave birth to admiration, to be able to face the defeat of the Qin people with such an attitude, this Qin Gongzi's mind is really accommodating to all rivers, but it is also not without regret: "It's a pity, Rao is such a peerless countryman, and it is difficult to change his life against the sky, this person's virtuous can be difficult to be tolerated in the Jin Wei clan, Wu Qihou defected to the Chu State, and set off a period of change in the Chu State to enrich the country and strengthen the army, The fortunes of the Chu State also showed signs of prosperity for a while, but Wu Qi's reform of the law involved too many interests of the old nobles of the Chu State, so after the death of the ancestor King of Chu who supported Wu Qi, this national scholar and virtuous man was executed by the old nobles of the Chu State, and the Chu State also fell into the crisis of the old nobles grasping the power of the Chu State, and finally fell into the [Red Turban Rebellion] and lost half of the country. ”

Immediately, Han Kui changed his words and said to Lin Yuyan: "However, Gongzi Qin, although this Wu Qi is dead, but the demon figure in the world, I don't know how many, if Da Qin can dive down and recruit talents, it may not be impossible to discover a figure like Wu Qi like the Jin Wei clan back then." ”
