Chapter 65: The Journey of Shenyi

What is economic warfare?

Economic warfare refers to the economic sanctions imposed by a country or region for the sake of national or regional interests. It is a continuation of the political struggle and an important part of the war. The destructive power of economic warfare is very powerful, and once it breaks out, the defeated country will inevitably suffer a great loss of national strength, while the victorious country will make a lot of money. Economic wars often erupt unnoticed, making it difficult to prepare for resistance in advance.

Guan Zhong used a series of dazzling methods to complete an economic invasion, which greatly weakened the national strength of the hostile country and won huge benefits for the country. As a result, he became the first person in China's economic war.

"Brother Ying, what are you thinking, you are so fascinated." Zhao Ying's call interrupted Zhao Jie's thoughts.

"Didn't think about anything." Zhao Jie smiled and continued: "What other good places to visit, take me on a tour, we are going to have fun today, what do you say?" ”

"Good idea." Everyone laughed and responded. Zhao Jie entered the city from the north gate, and then under the leadership of Zhao Ying and others, he visited the tomb of Guan Zhong in the east city, the tribute statue of Bao Mao in the south gate, and the carving of Qi Heng Gong in the west city.

Guan Zhong's mound is located on the left side of the gate of the East City, just on the edge of the city, and it is said that the builders deliberately enclosed the tomb of Guan Zhong in the city when they built the city. Guan Zhong's tomb is not luxurious, far less magnificent than the tomb of Guan Zhong's corpse outside Linzi City of Qi State, and the people of Shenyi only built a small pavilion for the tomb to shelter from the wind and rain. But the simple tomb is set off by dozens of stone tablets outside the pavilion, and it always exudes an extraordinary atmosphere. The king of Chuzhuang erected a stone tablet for Guan Zhong's clothes and mounds, and wrote: Guan Zhong's clever plan to dominate the world, and An Dexian and the king of Kyushu; Confucianism erected a monument for Guan Zhong's clothes and mounds, and wrote: Weisi people, why is Huaxia prosperous; The Legalist erected a monument for Guan Zhong's clothed mound, and wrote: The rule of law in the country begins with this person; The Zongheng family erected a monument for Guan Zhong's clothed mound, and wrote: Jiuhe princes, a Kuang world, criss-cross Kyushu, a generation of virtuous ...... Countless descendants have left books, paintings, or songs in front of Guan Zhong's tomb...... Everything embellishes Guan Zhong's mound and adds a solemn atmosphere to Guan Zhong's tomb.

Bao Mao's tribute statue is located at the gate of the south gate, and he depicts a true story: Qi Henggong led the princes' army to attack Chu, and the Chu state was defeated, so he sent an envoy to make peace with Guan Zhong. Guan Zhong said, "Ergong Bao Mao is not entered, the king sacrifice is not shared, there is no way to shrink the wine, and the widow is a levy; King Zhao's southern expedition did not return, and the widow is asking" is of great historical significance. Bao Mao tribute statue by Guan Zhong and Qu Wan two people, the statue of Guan Zhong standing with his hands crossed, cloth fluttering, head up to the sky, feet on the ground, straight body, and Bend Wan bent down and bowed, eyes look at the ground, both hands Bao Mao intended to offer to Guan Zhong. The carver used his imagination to depict the story of Guan Zhong's responsibility for the Chu State not to enter the Zhou room based on real historical events, and the statue appropriately showed the domineering of the Qi State and the inferiority of the Chu State at that time, and concentrated on Guan Zhong's wisdom and martial arts.

Qi Henggong dominates the world carving is located at the gate of Xicheng City, and Guan Zhong plays the same role as directing the flow of people, and the carving realistically depicts the scene of the alliance of the Summoning Tomb in the process of Qi Henggong's hegemony. The engraving is roughly divided into two parts. Most of the right part of the carving is a million army led by Qi Henggong, and the small part on the left is hundreds of thousands of Chu troops led by Qu Wan, the general of Chu State. Between the two armies, on a towering oath platform, the King of Chu leaned over and trembled to sign the covenant, and the opposite Duke of Qi Heng was fluttering, showing the king's bearing.

Just as Zhao Jie and the others were admiring the statue of Zhaoling Zhimeng, a loud shout came from afar: "Get out of the way, startled the horse." Suddenly, the originally orderly road suddenly became chaotic, pedestrians hurriedly dropped the basket in their hands, threw away the burden on their shoulders, and avoided both sides of the road, and the cars and horses on the road were no exception to avoid the roadside without choosing the road. Within two minutes, a frenzied horse appeared in front of him, and the young man on the horse roared loudly and tried to stop the horse, but his jerky movements mercilessly revealed his status as a beginner.

"Wow! I want a mother! I want a mother! A child's cry reached Zhao Jie's ears, Zhao Jie looked away from the startled horse, turned to the direction where the cry came from, only to see a child is slowly walking towards the middle of the road without knowing the danger, and I don't know which careless parents are separated from their children in the chaos. The doll was only five or six years old, and with one hand it was holding a slice of rice cake that had only eaten a bite, while the other hand was wiping away tears. The young child did not understand anything, and he did not yet know that he was on the verge of death.

"Danger!" Zhao Jie shouted, and then secretly cursed the man on horseback, "Bastard!" , and then ran towards the child at a high speed. And the galloping horse was less than five feet away from him at this moment.

Without hesitation, Zhao Jie pounced on the child, and with a leap of the fish pushed the child out, and he curled up and rolled on the spot, trying his best to avoid the fierce horse. At that critical moment, the startled horse rushed over Zhao Jie's body, and Zhao Jie was lucky to survive.

Passers-by also came back to their senses at this time, and they all accused loudly: 'Run fast at a loss, otherwise you have to send the official!' ''Remember this horse, and report it to the officer the next time you see it!'' ''yes, you can't just leave it at that!'' Zhao Jie hated this kind of speeding bastard on the road the most in his last life, but he was gone, and he could only scold fiercely.

"What do you think of children?" Zhao Jie turned his head viciously, glared at the parents who had returned to the child and reprimanded, and then looked at the child, because he had already broken into tears and laughed when he saw his parents, and fortunately Zhao Jie did not suffer any injuries because of Zhao Jie's push, but Zhao Jie still had a big opinion on the irresponsible parents, and he reprimanded him again: "Are you like this as a father?" The father and mother were frightened, frightened, and embarrassed, so they could only hold the child and keep saying, "Thank you, Father En......"

"Take care of the child in the future!" Zhao Jie was also frightened, and scolded himself secretly: "This impulsive stinky problem can't be changed at any time!" ’

After reprimanding his unreliable parents, Zhao Jie found that his clothes were worn out, so he walked to a ready-to-wear store on the side of the road to buy a new set of clothes. The owner of the ready-to-wear store saw Zhao Jie's righteous act all the way, and when he heard that Zhao Jie wanted to buy clothes, he immediately said that he would give him the best brocade robe, and then the owners of the boot shops, hat shops, belt shops, and even incense shops around the ready-to-wear stores were also vying to give him this and that. Zhao Jie was puzzled: "What are you sending me for?" ”

"If you don't reward the righteous, there will be fewer righteous deeds," said the owner of the ready-to-wear store with a smile. So Zhao Jie was confused, and was replaced with a new one up and down, with hairpins on his head and incense on his body, making him uncomfortable.

Clothes can be changed, but the mood can not be changed instantly, the original good mood has long been gone after a thrill, so Zhao Jie, who suffered a slight injury, accompanied by Lian Zheng and others, came to the accommodation inn that had already been booked.

As soon as he entered the inn door, Zhao Jie met his acquaintance Huang Haoyao. "Brother Zhao, it's been a long time." As soon as he saw Zhao Jie, Huang Haoyao gave up.

"Outside the city, didn't the son go in the direction of Chen Du? Why is it here? But what happened? Zhao Jie asked suspiciously.

"Brother Zhao, let's sit down first! Listen to me slowly. Huang Haoyao's face was slightly gloomy and said. Zhao Jie sat down at the table when he heard this, and Lin Shouyi and others also stayed by Zhao Jie's side and listened to Huang Haoyao's story.

"Saying that yesterday I separated from Brother Zhao, I led a group of loyal subordinates to the direction of Chen Du. At first, there was nothing unusual along the way, the sky was blue, the road was wide, the water was clear, and everything was very peaceful and stable. In order to return to Chendu as soon as possible, I waited for more than a dozen people who did not dare to rest, so we had to rush overnight. ”

"It wasn't until the end of the day, as we passed through a small village, that I had a little rest with my exhausted man. The residents of the village were very friendly, the village chief arranged for us to live in the ancestral hall, and the villagers brought us hot food and water. My men and I were grateful, devoured the food that was delivered, and fell asleep. Due to the hard work of the day, everyone slept soundly this night, and completely lost their original vigilance. ”

"Misfortune struck at the ugly hour, and out of the darkness appeared a dozen men dressed in night clothes, all of whom were stout, armed with broadswords, and walked without a sound, and it was easy to guess at a glance that they were trained samurai. Under the cover of darkness, they infiltrated the ancestral hall, and their swords fell, and one by one, my guards met Hades, and they had no time to resist. And because I got up at night, I was able to save myself and escape from the Ascension. ”

"Leaving the village, I panicked and ran all the way, and when I reached two or three miles, a pile of corpses appeared in front of me. Through the moonlight, I took a closer look and instantly understood everything. It turned out that this was a bureau set up for me by the thieves, and they had already slaughtered the whole village, and then pretended to be them to lead us into a plot. ”

"O my poor men! What a wrongful death you have had! Huang Yaoyao's voice became choked.

"Brute, bastard. It is tolerable to massacre civilians, but it is intolerable! Zhao Jie slammed his fist on the table when he heard this, and said angrily: "Brother Huang, I have saved your life, I will meet this group of miscellaneous pieces." ”
