"Someone, put Cai Zhanshi in prison, notify the whole city, and restore the old method of Taoyi!." Tian Jian glared at Cai Ze and didn't allow him to defend himself, so he asked the guards to pull Cai Ze away.

The guards in armor put Cai Ze's hands behind him and dragged Cai Ze's statue away.

Cai Ze looked at Tian Jian in disbelief, his exaggerated white sleeved robe was covered with dust on the floor, making him embarrassed, his elegant and extraordinary face was full of horror, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he kept crying: "The minister is wronged!" ”

Tian Jian waved his sleeve robe irritably, turned around, and no longer looked at Cai Ze.

The distant cries faded away!

Because of feeling upset, Tian Jiancai seriously looked at the city lord's mansion in front of him, although on the day of the destruction of Taoyi City, he had lived here for a period of time, but for various reasons, he did not carefully observe this palace, looking at it, the whole palace is sitting in the direction of the north and facing south, the front is facing the back, and the wide corridor paved with bluestone slabs goes directly to the lobby, which is said to be Cao Bo's palace before.

On the front, the stone foundation and the rammed earth tired of the high platform are paved with fine white marble bricks and stones, adding a little noble color to this gorgeous palace out of thin air, and there are all kinds of auspicious birds and beast patterns carved next to the stepping stones, and the cyan tiles are painted with this beast face pattern, but there is some reckless atmosphere.

The tall attic has a corridor waist hovering, and the cornices and paintings link the various buildings like a picture scroll together, like a delicate brush to twist and fold them.

From time to time, there are some birds, stopping on the cornices, or flying back and forth around the waist of the corridor, the sound of chirping, and the cultivation of precious pandans, although these are only small places, but they are the most attractive.

It is said that Zheng Sheng is lewd, but as the Tao Yi in the world, it is like Zheng Nu's glamorous dance, and the most concave and convex place is the former Cao Bo Palace.

However, although the palace is good, it is only a place to sink into human nature.

Meng Ao waited until Cai Ze was far away, hesitated for a while, and said: "Your Highness, although Cai Zhan is good at making money, but I heard that in the past, Zhang Yi was Qin, and King Qin Huiwen promised to be a wide house, a beautiful maid, and a golden jade, so Zhang Yi was loyal to the Qin State, and also had the feat of King Qin Huiwen and Bashu, and opened Nanyang. ”

"Oh?" Tian Jian smiled contemptuously and said: "Back then, Zhang Yi wanted to persuade King Qin to attack Korea, take Yiyang, and serve the world for two weeks, and then subdue to the prestige of the Son of Heaven, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

In the ninth year of King Qin Hui (316 BC), civil strife broke out in Shu. King Yingsi of Qin wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in Shu to raise troops to attack Shu. It was at this time that Korea invaded Qindi. On the issue of whether to attack Han or Shu, King Yingsi of Qin was undecided, so there was a dispute between Sima Cuo and Zhang Yi. King Qin Hui adopted Sima Cuo's opinion and destroyed Shu in one fell swoop, so "Qin Yi is strong and rich, and the princes are light", and tasted the sweetness of outward expansion.

The controversy between Sima Cuo and Zhang Yi actually affected the direction of Chinese civilization, especially the strategic direction of the Qin State.

And who is Sima Cuo? He was a famous general of the Qin State during the Warring States Period, although he did not have the rising star Bai Qi's battle to win, and he was also a first-class military general in the world.

The differences between the two are different, for Sima Cuo is the practice of Zhu Yuanzhang during the Ming Dynasty, accumulating high grain, slowly becoming king, first annexing Bashu, strengthening the strength of Qin, and then saying that the six countries are hegemonic, and what about Zhang Yi? He was a Zongheng who advocated the weakening of the Six Kingdoms through various strategies to make the Qin State continue to expand outwards and thus become more powerful.

Sima Cuo and Zhang Yi argued in front of King Qin Hui. Sima mistakenly wanted to cut down Shu, Zhang Yi said: "It's better to cut Han." ”

The king said, "Please listen to it! ”?

Zhang Yi said: "Pro-Wei Shanchu, send troops to Sanchuan, the mouth of the Sai Yuan and the Wu family, when the way to stay in Tun, Wei Jue Nanyang, Chu Linnan Zheng, Qin attacked Xincheng and Yiyang, and in order to Lin Erzhou suburbs, punish the sins of the Zhou lord, and invade the land of Chu and Wei." Zhou Zizhi knows that if he doesn't save it, the Jiuding treasure will come out. According to Jiuding, according to the book, the Son of Heaven is coerced to order the world, and the world dare not listen, and this royal industry is also. Now Fushu, the country in the west, and the length of Rong Di. The soldiers are not enough to become famous; Gaining the land is not enough for profit. The ministers heard that those who fought for fame were in the court, and those who fought for profit were in the city. Today, Sanchuan, Zhou, the city of the world, and the king does not fight, Gu fights for Rong Di, and goes to the king's business. ”?

Sima said wrongly: "No. The ministers heard that those who want to enrich the country should expand their land, those who want to strengthen the army, those who want to enrich their people, and those who want to be kings, they must win their virtues.

The three capitalists are prepared, and the king follows. Now the king's land is small and poor, so the ministers are willing to engage in Yi. Fu Shu, the country in the west, and Rong Di's long, and there is a rebellion of Ji and Xu.

Attacking it with Qin, for example, making jackals chase flocks of sheep. Taking its land is enough to expand the country, and obtaining its wealth is enough to enrich the people and soldiers, and the others have already served without hurting the people. Therefore, when a country is pulled out and the world is not considered violent, the West Sea is profitable, and the princes do not think they are greedy.

It is I who have attached both the name and the truth in one fell swoop, and I have the name of prohibiting violence and stopping chaos. Today's attack on South Korea, rob the Son of Heaven, rob the Son of Heaven, notoriety, and not necessarily profit, and have the name of injustice, and attack the world is not wanted, dangerous!

Please ask for the reason: Zhou, the world's show room; Han, Zhou Zhi and Guoya. Zhou Zizhi lost Jiuding, and Han Zizhi knew that Sanchuan was dead, so he would conspire with the two countries to solve Chu and Wei because of Qi and Zhao. With Ding and Chu, with land and Wei, the king can't be banned. The so-called 'danger' of this minister is not as good as the end of Shu. ”???????

King Hui said: "Good! The widow listens to the son. "Raise an army to attack Shu. In October, it was taken and Shu. The lord of Shu was renamed Hou, and Chen Zhuang was sent to Shu. Shu is both a genus, Qin Yi is strong and rich, and the princes are light.

Sima Cuo and Zhang Yi argued in front of King Qin Hui.

Sima Cuo advocated attacking Shu, and Zhang Yi said: "It's better to attack Korea." ”

King Qin Hui said, "Please let me hear your respective reasons. ”

Zhang Yi said: "We first became close and friendly with Wei and Chu, formed an alliance, and then sent troops to the land of Yishui, Luoshui, and the Yellow River. Blocking the two important passes of Yuyuan and Wushi, blocking the dangerous roads of Tunliu, Wei cut off Nanyang, Chu soldiers approached Nanzheng, Qin attacked Xincheng and Yiyang, until the soldiers came to the outskirts of the capital of the second Zhou in the east and west, denounced the crimes of the Zhou monarch, and invaded the land of Chu and Wei.

In this way, the monarch of the Zhou State knows that he cannot be saved, and he will definitely sacrifice the treasure of the country. The Qin State relied on Jiuding, according to the map household registration, and held Zhou Tianzi hostage to order the world, there is no one in the world who dare not resist, this is the great cause of the emperor! Today, Shu is only a remote country in the west, the leader of the ethnic minorities in the northwest. Attacking Shu State, even if the army is exhausted and the people are tired, there is no benefit to be gained. I have heard that the struggle for prestige must be fought for in the imperial court, and the competition for interests must be fought for in the market. Now the land of Sanchuan and the Zhou royal family are the market and the court of the world, and the king is not fighting here, but fighting for Yidi, which is too far from the emperor's business! ”

Sima mistakenly said: "No! I have heard that if you want to make the country rich, you must open up the territory of the country; If you want the army to be strong, you must make the people rich; If you want to establish the cause of the emperor, you must be virtuous.

Only when all three are in place, will the royal industry follow. Now the country ruled by the king is small and the people are poor, so I want to do the easy things first. Shu is a remote country in the west, the leader of the ethnic minorities in the northwest, but the government is as chaotic as Xia Wei and Shang, and attacking it with the national strength of Qin is like driving jackals to chase sheep. The acquisition of Shu's territory was enough to expand the territory of Qin; Obtaining the money of Shu was enough to make the people of Qin rich.

As long as the army rests and does not hurt the people, Shu has surrendered. Therefore, if we conquer a country, and the people of the world do not think that we are rape, and obtain all the wealth of Rong Di, the princes of all countries do not think that we are greedy. In this way, we will be able to kill two birds with one stone, gain fame and fortune, and we will also gain the reputation of abstaining from tyranny and stopping chaos. Now they want to attack South Korea and kidnap Zhou Tianzi, as far as the kidnapping of Zhou Tianzi is concerned, this is an infamy that will attract people's spurning, even so, it may not get any benefits, and there is also an unrighteous reputation; It is too dangerous to attack a place that no one in the world wants, and I ask the king for permission to explain why.

The Zhou Dynasty was the clan of the princes and kings of the princes of the world; Korea was a friendly country with whom the Zhou dynasty befriended. If the Zhou Dynasty knew that they would lose Jiuding, and the Han Dynasty knew that they would lose the land of Sanchuan, then they would definitely unite and work together to deal with the Qin State, and they would also have their backs to the Qi State and the Zhao State. and asked for help from the state of Chu and the state of Wei. If the Zhou Dynasty gave Jiuding to the Chu State, and Korea gave the land of Sanchuan to the Wei State, the king would not be able to stop them from doing this, which is the reason why I am talking about the danger of cutting down Korea. In contrast, it is better to attack Shu than to make sure that it is a foolproof strategy! ”

King Qin Hui said, "Good! I follow your advice. "The state of Qin eventually raised an army to attack Shu. It took ten months to capture Shu, so Shu was pacified. changed the title of the monarch of Shu to Hou, and appointed Chen Zhuang, the minister of Qin, as the minister of Shu. Since Shu was already attached to Qin, Qin was even more powerful, so it despised the vassal states even more.

Why didn't Zhang Yi agree to attack Shu? The reason is because Shu was located in a remote area at that time, and it was not the inherent territory of the Huaxia people, and the country of Tianfu at that time was in Guanzhong, not Bashu, and Bashu could barely be called a rich land until Yingji succeeded to the throne, and there was no comparison with Korea and Erzhou.

In fact, Zhang Yi has selfish intentions here, is it really so easy to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes?

For Zhang Yi's own fame and fortune!

And Sima Cuo is a native of Qin, and everything he does is for the good of Qin, and the two are judged.

Meng Ao smiled bitterly and said, "Does Your Highness really want this?" Cai Zhan doesn't say that there is merit and hard work, is it..."

Tian Jian shook his head with a smile, patted Meng Ao's shoulder, and said slowly: "There is also a reason why this palace is like this, it seems that Cai Ze is imprisoned, but it is actually to protect him!" ”

"Protection?" Meng Ao obviously didn't hear the words, frowned, and asked, "Could it be that His Highness has other plans?" ”

The corners of Tian Jian's mouth raised slightly, he looked at the rising sun in the distance, and said with a smile: "If Cai Ze is really loyal to me, how can the benefits of money and wealth move him, and the thoughts of those other people, this palace is not clear." ”

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and a well-dressed army came over, purple loquat tops, covered with pieces of iron, silver and striking, but their bottoms had leggings made of black hemp rope, and the shoes they wore were not straw sandals woven from kudzu linen, but black boots made of leather nitrate.

"The ministers and guards are handsome, and the five hundred personal guards are see Your Highness." Wei Qing stood beside Tian Jian and said.

"What is this?" Meng Ao was amazed by the five hundred guards in front of him, he had never seen these people!

"This is the five hundred elite armored soldiers selected by the palace when it was in the Chu State, and let Wei Qing train the five hundred elite armored soldiers trained by Wu Qi to train Wei Wushu, and the palace ordered it to be the Tiger Ben Battalion, and from then on Wei Qing was personally in charge." Tian Jian glanced at Meng Ao and explained.

When he was in the State of Chu, because he had nothing to do, he simply asked Wei Qing to use Wu Qi's method of training Wei Wushu to train his own pro-army for him, of course, these people spent a lot. Just with the armor they are wearing, this is made by Tian Jian imitating fish scale armor, of course, it is not enough with the real fish scale armor, but compared to the current stone armor and wooden armor, it is much more advanced, and the pieces of iron look weak, but it is more than enough to resist the bronze arrows, and the leggings, a marching artifact, were the magic weapon of the 108,000-mile Long March.

"Tiger Ben? It seems that His Highness has a lot of heart! When King Wu of Zhou was fighting, there were 300 tigers, each of which was a hundred, and there was invincible bravery! His Royal Highness uses the name of the tiger to see His Highness's ambition! Meng Ao sighed.

Tian Jian had a smile on his face, and said with a straight face: "Today, the strong will destroy the weak, but whoever is the hero of the world will have a fighting heart, because if you don't fight, you will die!" ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Wei Qing and asked, "Wei Qing, have you found out all the mines within a radius of 100 miles?" ”

Wei Qing lowered his head and said to Tian Jianyi: "Your Highness, it has been ascertained that there are only six mines belonging to the government, two of which are copper mines, and the other four are iron mines, but these mines..."

"What's wrong?" Tian Jian felt that something bad was about to happen, frowned, stared at Wei Qing, and asked urgently, "Is there something?" ”

"These mines are all poor mines, or they are basically finished." Wei Qingdao.

"What did you do with such a flourishing pottery market, iron market, and bronze market?" Tian Jian said in a low voice.

Wei Qing hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Tian Jian, and whispered: "It's all mined by private mines." ”

"Private mines?" Tian Jian gritted his teeth.
