Chapter 234: Only Neighbors Are Bu

"This Wang Qian, is it Wang Jian or not?"

Since learning the name of the Qin official in Wu County, Mingyue has been pondering this person, and has also asked people to find ways to find out about Wang Qian's deeds.

Of course, his subordinates didn't know why Chang'an Jun was so concerned about a small lieutenant in the border county of Qin, but Mingyue knew that if this Wang Jian was the one who was as famous as Bai Qi, Lian Po, and Li Mu in history, he accidentally placed his fief next to a tiger that had not yet grown up.

Although Wu Anjun Baiqi has never tasted defeat in his life, defeated countless enemies and killed millions of people, but in the end, it was Wang Jian and his son who finally commanded the Qin army to sweep the six countries.

Especially Zhao State, almost Wang Jian fought from beginning to end, although that was thirty or forty years later, Wang Jian should still be a young military officer now, about the same age as Zhao Kuo. But there is such a young tiger on the side of the couch, Mingyue feels that it may be difficult for her to sleep peacefully in the future.

That's why he was extremely concerned about Wang Qian's past, but unfortunately he couldn't inquire about anything at all, so Mingyue could only retreat and pay more attention to the situation in Wu County.

"Wu County is also on the bank of Zhaoyu Qi, I don't know what the thief is?"

He asked Qi Kun and other local scholars to inquire, but was told that there were originally water thieves in Wu County, but after Wang Jian came to be the county lieutenant, because the thieves were very strict, the thieves all ran to Qi County.

For this reason, Mingyue sighed a lot, and said to Cai Ze: "I remembered an incident I saw when I was reading "Zuo Chuan" in Handan, when Jin Jinggong was in power, in order to stabilize the domestic situation, he vigorously rectified internal affairs, including the elimination of thieves along the way, and as a result, there was 'thieves of the Jin State fleeing to Qin', which shows that the Jin State was powerful in governing thieves at that time, while the Qin State was dominated by bandits and was powerless. ”

"Now, the situation has been reversed, but it is Qin Thief who has run to Zhao......"

This phenomenon made Mingyue smile bitterly, the water at the border was deeper than she had imagined in advance.

"That's the relationship between the sloppiness of legislation." Cai Ze also has his own opinions on this, he believes that Wu County and Qi County are both in a state of withering people's livelihood, and the breeding of thieves is the norm, but why there are fewer thieves in Qin County and more thieves in Zhao County, I am afraid it is related to the lax law enforcement.

"In the past, there were many thieves in the Qin State, but ten years after the law of the Shang monarch was implemented, there were no thieves in the mountains, and the roads were smooth, the reason for this was that the Qin State implemented the law of Shiwu Liansit, and asked the people to report each other, and the thieves had nowhere to hide, and the county lieutenant and pavilion chief were also very strict in order to promote the thieves, so most of the thieves died out, which is also the reason why the minister proposed that the lord kill all the captive thieves and intimidate Xiaoxiao...... Confucius also said that if the government is lenient, the people will be slow, and if it is slow, it will be corrected violently; If you are fierce, the people will be disabled, and if you are disabled, you will be lenient. Wide to help fierce, fierce to help wide, government is to win with peace......"

Mingyue nodded, and shook her head again, being lenient and fierce can indeed affect the breeding of thieves, but after all, it is a symptom, not a root cause, after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, it is strict enough, but the thieves are getting more and more intense, and finally subvert the Qin Dynasty's society together with the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

If you want to put an end to thieves, you still have to let the people have enough food and clothing, and there is no suffering from freezing, so that they are willing to be good citizens who keep to themselves and will not take risks.

It seems that after quelling the thieves, we should start the pace of improving science and technology and developing productive forces as soon as possible...... But there is a fear of doing this, because the bloody battle of Changping is only four years later, if it is counted from the battle of the party, when it is left to Mingyue, it will only be two years!

Not to mention, now there is another unpredictable Wang Jian on the side, the ancients said, only the neighbor is Bu, if Mingyue knew in advance that Wang Jian was a hundred miles away, then he would probably not come to Qi County.

But now it's too late to say anything, thinking of this, Mingyue once again asked people to take out the letter sent by Wang Jian yesterday, the letter was delivered together with the head of the leader of the water thieves, could it be that Wang Jian was showing favor to him?

How can it be! Those humble words, in Mingyue's eyes, are poisonous.

"Wu County and Qi County are close at hand, chickens and dogs smell each other, and the foreign minister Wang Jian is not talented, and he is willing to marry Chu Gua Liang with Chang'an Jun, and don't provoke Beiliang......"

This is a polite letter, Chu Gua Liang Guan is talking about the deeds of the two pavilion chiefs of Chu and Wei who were good neighbors and helped each other water melon beans, and the provocation of Beiliang is about a large-scale military conflict between Chu and Wu in the Spring and Autumn Period caused by the fight between Zhongli and Beiliang......

"It seems that this Wang Jian is not only a martial artist, but also has some knowledge." Mingyue frowned, at the end of the letter, Wang Jian also hoped that Chang'anjun could reply to the letter, so that the two sides could reach a consensus and prevent thieves together.

"It's always good to be safe." Cai Ze didn't think much about it, when the internal chiefs, the people were newly attached, and the thieves of the Ershan Mountain had not yet been subdued, it was best not to conflict with the Qin State.

However, the other party is just a small county lieutenant, and if Chang Anjun feels that he has lowered his status and does not want to write it, he can write it by him.

"Even if it's Mr. Cai's ghostwriting, I think there's fraud in it."

was different from Cai Ze's imagination, Mingyue didn't dare to look down on Wang Qian, but was very protective of him. Later generations often compare the four famous generals of the Warring States period with "Qi Po Jian Mu", they have their own strengths: Bai Qi is good at attacking and moving above the nine heavens, Lian Po is good at defending if hiding under the nine lands, Wang Jian is invincible in attacking and destroying the country, and Li Mu is riding against the trend to win. Among them, among the four generals, Wang Jian is the wisest, or rather, the most cunning, as the main general of the Qin State to destroy Zhao in the future, this person can not only fight tough battles, but also engage in some tricks......

Li Mu, the last famous general of Zhao State, had defeated the Qin army several times and killed several Qin generals, Wang Jian was helpless with him, and finally pretended to reconcile with Li Mu, relying on a set of counter-plots, and killed Li Mu alive.

"The reply must be written." Mingyue made up her mind.

If he was so jealous that Wang Jian didn't even dare to reply to the letter, he would lose first in terms of momentum, he thought about it and said: "But the heart of guarding against people is indispensable......"

……

Wang Yan is Wang Qian's brother, and now he is a centurion under his brother, and the two of them met to eat wine at Wang Qian's house on this day.

For this privilege of being a official, Wang Jian did not refuse, he was not a thin person, but he was not a strict self-denying person, but he felt that people must have some weaknesses, or "weaknesses" in the eyes of others.

Wang Jian has more weaknesses than him, and after a few cups of yellow soup, he asked about what he had been wondering about.

"Brother, the leader of the thieves said that he was willing to be a guide for our army, why didn't he agree to come down? If he can capture the city, or even capture and kill Chang'anjun, won't the elder brother be able to increase the rank of official again? ”

Unexpectedly, before the words fell, Wang Jian laughed.

"My brother, my brother, that is the territory of a prince and a prince, with thousands of private belongings, and there are even county soldiers guarding the door for him, how can a few thieves lead the way and fight it? Besides......"

He raised the wine cup and slowly tasted the taste that was very different from the wine in Guanzhong: "If I rashly provoke, not only will it be useless, but I will have it!" “

Wang Yan was stunned: "Why is this?" ”

His own brother, Wang Jian didn't have to hide it, and asked him directly: "Do you know where your uncle is and what he does?" ”

The uncle he said was naturally Wang Di of the same sect, Wang Di has won the trust of the king and has become the person with the highest title in the Wang clan of Pinyang, but now where Wang Di is, Wang Yan does not know.

Wang Jian had already guessed that he had a good relationship with Wang Di, and there would be correspondence every month, and Wang Ji informed him that after the summer planting and summer harvest were over, he might be a deputy general, on the orders of the king, to follow Wu Anjun to attack Han.

Although I don't know where the Qin army is going to attack, whether it is Pingyang or Shangdang, Nanyang or Xinzheng, one thing is certain, the Qin army has an unwritten rule, but if Wu Anjun is dispatched, it will be a big battle of more than 100,000 people!

Wang Yi was able to inform Wang Jian of such confidential matters, which was a hint to this nephew: Before and after the army invaded Korea, don't make trouble!

Wang Jian understood the meaning of Wang Di, which is also the reason why he killed the thief and sent the head back, before the battle between Qin and Han ended, he must keep calm with Zhao State, otherwise he will ruin the plan of the king and the prime minister, and he will be a sinner.

He wouldn't confide in Wang Yan about these confidential matters, but just said with a smile: "When my uncle recommended me as the lieutenant of Wu County, he said that he liked me in three points, one is resourcefulness, the second is stability, and the third is that I can understand the overall situation, and what I need this time is only the last two points......

Wang Yan heard it in a fog, but he understood Wang Qian's order, during this time, no matter how lively the thieves were in Zhao Guoqi County, and how frequent the soldiers were mobilized, don't pay attention to it, just keep the outside loose and the inside tight, if there are thieves who cross the border, they will be killed and sent back after being arrested, so as to prevent the excuse for Zhao Jun to cross the border.

After arranging the defense, Wang Yan said goodbye and left, Wang Jian also returned to his official office, he had just learned the news, Chang'an Jun, sent a reply......

Stroking the silk book in the wooden tube, Wang Jian couldn't help but smile.

Recently, he has repeatedly studied the "Usage" chapter in "The Art of War", and he has gained a lot of experience.

Therefore, only the wise and virtuous generals, who can be wise in between, will achieve great success!

With Wang Ji's fiasco in Linzi, Chang'anjun's reputation has spread to the Qin State, and it is said that he was still firmly remembered by Prime Minister Fan Ju, thanks to his uncle's blessing, Wang Jian also heard a little.

He heard that the empress dowager of Zhao was very fond of Chang'anjun.

He also heard that Chang'an Jun and King Zhao, the two brothers, did not seem to be in harmony.

Seeing Chang'anjun's drastic move after coming to Qi County, Wang Jian felt that given time, this must be a figure similar to Xinlingjun, and he must be prevented as soon as possible.

Although this matter has nothing to do with him as a small county lieutenant, Wang Jian still took a little extra care and did something that seemed unintentional, but in fact was secretly murderous.

In the art of war, opportunities are created by people, even if the opportunity is not yet ripe, we must prepare in advance, and when the time comes, we can respond instantly, and achieve the unstoppable "breaking the water in the stream of a thousand people".

Imagine, if Chang'anjun's backer in Handan was no longer there in the future, and King Zhao began to be hostile to him, there happened to be a letter that could prove Chang'anjun's secret correspondence with the border towns of Qin.

It may not have done much, or it may have been the last straw that crushed the enemy.

"My resourcefulness is useless for the time being, but it will be of great use in the future......"

While talking to himself, Wang Jian was excited about using the trick for the first time, so he lit the candle flame and opened the letter......

However, after only two glances, he frowned and closed it, and scolded: "It's all nonsense! ”
