Chapter 308: It's the lobbyist

In the sixth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty, Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang divided Ba County into Ba County and Badong County. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBrazil County has eight counties, with a vast territory and a large population, and is a famous county in Yizhou. After Cao Wei destroyed Shu Han, the hometown of Yizhou was Yi and Liang, and Brazil County was divided into Liangzhou from then on. In the past, Zhang Fei, the Marquis of Han Huan, sat in the county to govern Langzhong City for seven years, under its governance and management, Langzhong City has a wide wall and is extremely strong, and has become a famous male city in the southwest hinterland. As an aside, thousands of years later, Langzhong has become one of the four ancient cities in China, and every wall and brick is for future generations to think about the past style.

It is said that Li Feng, the general of Chengguo Pingkou, fought desperately to fight a bloody road from the bank of the Dachuan River, led more than three or four thousand remnants, and rushed back to Langzhong, frightened, and strictly ordered to step up the city defense and repair fortifications on the same day, determined to defend Brazil. In Russia, the 70,000 army of Chengguo was annihilated, and all the following Li Xiang were captured, which made the Shu people almost frightened like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the Qin army was also so powerful that it could not be increased. Under Xie Ai's effective command and deployment, the Qin army attacked southward and pushed forward, and the counties it passed through did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and soon even the Heavenly Sword Pavilion was taken bloodlessly.

When Li Feng heard the report, he was worried and unspeakable. He not only resented Li Zhi and others for slandering and rejecting him, but also regretted Li Xiang as the chief general of the patriarch, and did not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and repeatedly rejected his advice. But the matter has come to this, and it is useless to hate, Li Feng has no choice but to fight his spirits and be vigilant day and night.

The defeat of Chengguo damaged its vitality, and there was no way to immediately organize a powerful attack force to effectively contain the Qin army, and then it was forced to agree to various peace conditions. The Qin army successively released Li Zhi, Li Wan, Li Xiang and others, and Chengguo ceded the land of the three counties, and also lost a lot of gold and silver, cattle and sheep and materials. When Li Feng was depressed, Li Xiong's holy decrees came one after another, each time more and more severe, and judging from the content, it was obvious that the blame for the defeat of Dachuan River was placed on his head. Li Feng almost exploded his lungs, and the first few times he was sparse, and he used heartfelt words to analyze Qu Zhi to explain right and wrong, but it didn't seem to have much effect, and under all kinds of accusations, especially Li Xiang's acquiescence, Li Xiong was very angry with him, and insisted that he must come to Chengdu first.

Li Feng was shocked, already feeling hopeless. Many loyal subordinates have come to dissuade him, telling him not to go back, otherwise he will inevitably be more auspicious. Li Feng himself is not angry, he has a red blood and a red heart, and in the end he turned into all kinds of slander, and after his death, he will have to bear the notorious reputation of being a misguided general, which no one can bear.

So he decided to resist the decree and not go anywhere, just stay in Pasir County, if he could stop the footsteps of the Qin army, it would also be regarded as a meritorious service to the country; If he can't resist it, he will die in the city, and he will be martyred in his duties. But the decision is a decision, Li Feng is still worried and heavy.

A few days later, there was definite news that the Qin army was already planning to storm Brazil and was currently making final deployments. Although Li Feng knew that these would come sooner or later, he was still worried. Whether he can hold the territory or not, he is not sure at all, he can only say that he will do his best to do his best.

When Langzhong City was on the verge of a great enemy, on this day, there was a person in the general's mansion, and it was Zhao Zhao.

Medical examinations, reports, face-lifting, and gifts. Zhao Zhao received Xie Ai's support, and when he came with great ambition, he seemed calm, and his words and demeanor showed a little free and easy.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao Zhao, are you the mastermind of Chen An in the past?"

Li Feng knew Zhao Zhao's identity, but he didn't know his intention. But after all, even if the two were not allies, they were in the same camp, so between the words, it was polite.

Zhao Zhao arched his hand, "If Chen An can listen to me, even if he is defeated, he will not fall into the situation he was in later, so where is the mastermind?" In short, I don't want to mention the things of the past, but I came here today for the sake of the general's tomorrow. ”

"Ben's tomorrow? Ben will always be a pastorer of Brazil for my country, no illness or disaster, why is it inexplicably bothering Mr. Zhao, what kind of heart to do for me? Listening to Zhao Zhao's tone, there is a bit of a lobbyist. But no matter what the purpose of his visit, it is always necessary to find out who he is acting as a lobbyist for. Li Feng was a little skeptical at the moment, and said quietly: "Where did Mr. Zhao come from?" ”

Zhao Zhao made no secret of it: "I came from the tent of General Xie, the commander of the Qin army." ”

"Oh~"

The deliberately elongated tone brings out an obvious sense of mockery. Li Feng nodded, and didn't let anyone look at the seat, only squinted and said, "It turns out that you have already taken refuge in the Qin people." Your old lord Chen An, the bones are not cold, you have changed the court to join the mortal enemy, it is really a good speed, a good plan, not bad, this will be impressive! ”

Zhao Zhao stood still, his face was as usual, and he said calmly: "What the general said is not bad at all. But the truth is that the general is a fan of the authorities, and he will analyze one or two for the general in the next test. In troubled times, the lord chooses the minister, and the minister also chooses the lord. How can a manly man live a depressed and mediocre life? Although he has no power to restrain the chicken, he is also conceited to read poetry and books, and he does not want to leave his hatred empty, and he will use this seven-foot body as the soil that fills the ravines for no reason. ”

Although Chen An was superior to ordinary people, he later became more and more blindly arrogant, thinking that with the sword and spear in his hand, he could level the world. It is necessary to know that the world is like a tripod, and now the fire outside the ding is barbecued, and if you want to save it, when the bottom of the kettle is drawn, and then the water is splashed and cleansed, it can be effective. If you only know how to use brute force to push the crown, it will be in vain in the end. Chen An was respectful to Zaixia, but he did not obey his words, so he finally ended up defeated and died. ”

"Now, Gao Yue, the Duke of Qin, has worked hard to govern the country, reorganized the army and loved the people, fought against Hu Lu to save me Li Shu, and can be regarded as a wise monarch. Besides, the Qin army is strong, whether it is fighting with Tiefu, with the Xiongnu, with Xianbei, or with your country, it is all a victory. Qin Gongzhi brought out such a strong army and competed for the world, which was also a basis. In the next and now, it is to abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and it is necessary to succumb to the Xiongnu people who do not share the sky, how can it be? Not to mention people's common feelings, at the very least, you can have the opportunity to realize your ambitions and make a difference, and you can also win fame and glory to your ancestors, right? From the bottom of his heart, the general thought to himself. ”

Li Feng said something that was difficult to refute. Ban Yan snorted and said, "That's it! I wouldn't have been interested in paying more attention to your business. I want to ask you, but you want to persuade me to return to Qin? If so, don't open your mouth and leave on your own, and you won't send off guests! ”

As he spoke, he called the guards and was about to drive Zhao Zhao away.

Zhao Zhao was on the side of his body, and said with a straight color: "But all lobbyists come to persuade with interests." Generals cannot be extraordinary, and naturally there are also gains and losses related to close interests. He had no strength to spare, he was defenseless, he just brought a mouth, and he was originally going to come to explain the interests and disadvantages of the general, so why should the general be so afraid and refuse to leave? Why don't you let me finish my words, whether it is right or wrong, and how to choose, the general will naturally have a correct judgment at that time. ”

Li Feng hesitated a little, but finally waved his hand, ordered the soldiers to retreat, and then looked at Zhao Zhao silently.

Zhao Zhao dressed up, thanked him, and said eloquently: "Not long ago, your country's 70,000 troops were wiped out in one fell into nothing, and the whole country was shocked and confused, and people's hearts were surging. At this time, the general still wanted to use a mere county and thousands of soldiers to confront the tiger and wolf Qin army, and the victory or defeat can be imagined. This is an external concern. I have heard that many powerful figures in your country are dissatisfied with you, the general, and have a bad reputation, which leads to the fact that the monarch of your country will want to be the head of the general and thank the world. This is an internal problem. ”

"With all due respect. I thought that the four words "dangerous" can describe the general's current situation. The general was alone in Brazil, unable to contend with the Qin army, and could not tolerate his own country. If you don't plan properly as soon as possible, when the matter is urgent, the general's life will no longer be free to make decisions. At that time, any pawn can take the head of the general and seek wealth for himself, won't it be too late to regret it? ”

Saying that, Zhao Zhao secretly captured Li Feng's psychological changes, and continued to say in an accentuated tone: "Therefore, if you are a general's plan: Brazil County, since your country has been ceded to Qin, then Qin must be determined to win Brazil; If they turn against Brazil, they will turn a blind eye, and it will be meaningless for the general to resist stubbornly, and it will only make Qin and Cheng disgusted. Now that the general is facing the danger of returning to Chengdu and being punished on the eve of the day, it is better to plan as soon as possible, push the boat down the river and take the initiative to take Brazil County as a gift, and serve Qin, so that he can protect himself and protect the whole county from military disasters. ”

Zhao Zhao talked eloquently, from Chengguo, Qinguo, to Li Feng himself, from the past to the present and the future, and analyzed the statement in simple terms, which was vividly and vividly. Li Feng was still resisting at the beginning, shaking his head, but later, he couldn't help but hang his head and was speechless, just sighed and sighed.

Zhao Zhao persuaded on the one hand, and on the other hand, he observed the words and expressions, and knew that the heat should be almost over, so he cleared his throat again and said seriously: "General Li!" Although he is an outsider, he also knows that the general has dedicated half his life to Chengguo, and his hard work is the first-class merit of Chengguo. Now, it is Chengguo who is sorry for the general first, and all kinds of unfair suspicions make people feel cold, so the general switched to Qin, which can be regarded as having a clear conscience. The ancient soldiers were voted to Wu by Chu, and Lian Po was from Zhao to Wei, all of which are the truth. ”

"I heard that Qin openly made it clear that there is no sticking to one pattern in employing people, as long as you have the ability, you can use all the energy. For example, in the past, he followed Chen An and offended him many times, but now he can be blamed by Duke Qin, and he can still have a place to stay, not to mention a talent like you, a general? To put it bluntly, when the general was in the prime of life, was he willing to be falsely accused and punished for no reason, and he still left behind a wrongful name and a hatred? ”
