Chapter 104: Losing Grace with Two Faces and Three Swords

After some reminders from Mrs. Wei Guo, King Wu of Qin had further plans in his heart, and Meng said that staying would be directly related to his next decision.

Gossip aside, King Wu of Qin Yingdang and Mrs. Wei Guo, drove to the camp selected by Meng Shuo, the convoy was on the winding mountain road, moving forward slowly, not that the coachman did not want to speed up, but the road was too dangerous, and it was impossible to whip forward, the coachman drove the horses carefully, and kept giving orders that only the horse breeder could understand, and the horses were also well-behaved and acted in accordance with the master's instructions.

The rugged mountain road, under the careful control of the coachman, so that the people in the car can rest peacefully, Qin Wu Wang Yingdang is also closing his eyes to recuperate, looking forward to what is about to happen, although the performance is not shocked, in fact, the heart is churning, above the court, the power of the disease is monopolized, the princes secretly cultivate their own cronies, after Zhang Yi left, the original 'Lianheng' camp collapsed overnight, and the 'Feiyuwei' sent a secret report, and the Chu State is secretly preparing for the next 'joint vertical'. The seemingly undisturbed situation in the world is actually a hidden murderous motive.

It's not good that overnight, the Great Qin State will be blocked again in the Hangu Pass and retreat to the Longxi grassland, for the sake of the eternal foundation of the Great Qin State, he must completely smash the 'merger' of the countries, but judging from today's situation, the Qin State has not found such a suitable talent.

Zhang Yi seems to be smeared with the liver and brain of the Great Qin State, but in fact, this person is too utilitarian, attaches too much importance to his own gains and losses, and does not put the interests of the country first.

"How is Zhang Yi?" King Qin Wu asked Yingdang. Lady Wei did not answer King Wu of Qin's question, but instead asked:

"Does the king want to do business, or does he want to govern the country!"

"Of course it's governing the country!" King Qin Wu asked puzzled.

"When there is a conflict between national interests and personal interests, you can give up your own selfish interests and take care of the country's righteousness! Did Zhang Yi do it?

Besides, what is the difference between this two-sided and three-knife instrument and Yuan Tao Tu! Mrs. Wei asked.

"Yuan Tao Tu?" King Qin Wu Yingdang asked curiously:

"It's such a familiar name, why can't I remember it for a while!" Embarrassed on his face, don't look at King Qin Wu's victory, leading the troops to fight is a good hand, but he is still relatively unfamiliar with these historical canons and stories.

"The king has a lot of opportunities, how can he remember these trivial things! This Yuan Taotu is not today's person! Mrs. Wei said.

Mrs. Wei is full of poetry and books, and she knows everything about the classics of history and history, and her ability is naturally not self-boasting, but for the big and small affairs of various countries, it is easy to come.

Qin Wu Wang Yingdang was still unclear at this time, Zhang Yi's whereabouts and stays, and he thought that he was just running for himself, and he was still wandering about whether to reuse Zhang Yi, but he didn't know that Zhang Yi was going to go and there was no return! Hearing Mrs. Wei Guo say this, I also wanted to know how much similarity there was between this Yuan Taotu and Zhang Yi.

"I would like to hear the details of Mrs. Wen!" Said humbly.

Mrs. Wei Guo smiled, looking at King Qin Wu in front of her, and through her own knowledge, she was changing step by step, and King Qin Wu was making decisions.

"The state of Chu was dominant in the south of the country, in a vain attempt to dominate the Central Plains, and sent troops to attack the Zheng State in the Central Plains for many years. At that time, the Central Plains happened to be the era of Qi Huan's hegemony, and Qi Huan's banner was 'respecting the king', so naturally he couldn't sit idly by.

In the fourth year of Lu Xugong, Qi Huan led the eight-nation alliance of Qi, Lu, Song, Chen, Zheng, Wei, Xu, and Cao to attack Chu.

After destroying the Chu vassal Cai State, the coalition forces quickly moved south.

King Chu Cheng sent envoys to the division of the princes to ask Qi Huan for justice:

"You live in the far north of the Qi country, I live in the south of the Chu country thousands of miles away, you and I are so far apart, even if the horses, cows, and peons are tempted by each other. I didn't expect you to enter our land, why is this? ”

Qi Huangong's Xiangguo Guan Zhong replied:

"Once upon a time, Duke Zhao Kang ordered our ancestor Jiang Taigong to say: 'The fifth-class princes and the governors of Kyushu, you have the right to levy them, so that they can jointly assist the Zhou royal family.' Zhaokang Gong also gave us the scope of the ancestors' conquest: east to the sea, west to the Yellow River, south to Muling, and north to Wudi. The Bao Mao that you should pay tribute has not been paid, resulting in the failure of the sacrifices of the Zhou royal family, and there is nothing to leach the wine residue, so I have come to collect the tribute; King Zhou Zhao did not return from his southern tour, so I came to inquire about this matter. ”

The envoy of Chu replied: "It is the fault of our monarch that the tribute has not been paid, how dare we not provide it?" King Zhou Zhao did not return from his southern tour, so please go to the water's edge and ask! ”

So the Qi army continued to advance and was temporarily stationed in Shan.

In the summer of that year, King Cheng of Chu sent his envoys to negotiate with the Qi army, and the Qi army retreated and was temporarily stationed in Zhaoling.

Duke Qi Huan asked the armies of the vassal states to set up a position, and rode in the same chariot with Qu Wan to watch the army.

Qi Huan Gong said:

"Are the princes here for me? They are just trying to inherit the friendly relationship of our ancestors. How about you establish friendly relations with us?"

Qu Wan replied:

"Thank you for your grace and for the blessing of our country, and for accepting our monarch with patience and humiliation, which is the wish of our king."

Qi Huan Gong said:

"I lead the armies of these princes into battle, and who can resist them? I let these armies attack the city, and what kind of city can't be taken? ”

Qu Wan replied, 'If you appease the princes with benevolence, who would dare to disobey?' If you use force, then the state of Chu will use Fangcheng Mountain as a city wall and Hanshui as a moat, although your soldiers and horses are numerous, I am afraid it will be useless! ”

"Qu Wan is really amazing! In the face of such momentum of the coalition army, he can still say it so tactfully and implicitly! Fierce and strong.

I, Great Qin, need such a wise man! By the way, madam, what did you say about Yuan Taotu? King Qin Wu asked a little anxiously.

"The king is still so anxious, the concubine will continue to speak for you!

The state of Chu was forced to negotiate peace in Zhaoling! When the division of the Eight Kingdoms was about to withdraw its troops and return to China, Chen Guo's doctor Yuan Taotu said to Zheng Guo's doctor Shen Hou:

"The coalition forces have a large number of people, and when they go back, they have to pass through our two countries, and the food, clothing, and housing have to be borne by our two countries, if we ask the army to withdraw along the coast and go back through Ju and Xu, then we can show off our strength to these countries, and second, we can reduce the burden on our country, what do you think?"

郑国大夫申hou says:

"Good! Good! That's a good idea, just say it to the king! ”

So, Yuan Taotu told Qi Huan Gong that he could show off his strength by taking the eastern road. When Duke Qi Huan adopted this suggestion, he was about to order the withdrawal of troops by the eastern road.

Shenhou ran to see Qi Huan Gong and said:

"The coalition forces have been fighting in the rain and dew for a long time, and they are quite tired, and if they make a detour to the east, if they are hindered by anything along the way, it will be bitter for the coalition forces. Yuan Taotu is a person who cares about his own interests, regardless of the life and death of the coalition army, please think twice. ”

When Qi Huan Gong heard this, he took it for granted that Shenhou was thinking about the coalition army, and said angrily:

Yuan Taotu almost missed a big thing, someone came to arrest Taotu, Shenhou was reasonable, and immediately ordered Zheng Wengong to reward Shenhou, and reward Shenhou with Zheng Guo's strategic place in the north, "Tiger Prison". ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shen Hou happily ran away, and although Zheng Wengong was dissatisfied, he had to submit to Qi Huan.

Soon, the coalition forces returned to their respective countries, and Yuan Taotu was also released and returned to China. He couldn't swallow this breath, and decided to treat him in the way of others, and came to Shenhou's fiefdom "Tiger Prison".

Yuan Tao Tu said to Shenhou after looking at the "Tiger Prison":

"If only you could build a beautiful palace here! That will be a very meaningful thing, a magnificent palace, in order to bring out the nobility of Shenhou! I think that if Shenhou is willing, the princes of the world will naturally send the best timber for Shenhou to choose! ”

Shenhou is a very greedy person, and after hearing about it, he actually accepted Yuan Taotu's suggestion and really wanted to build a magnificent palace here.

This time, Yuan Taotu grabbed the handle, and Yuan Taotu immediately told Zheng Wengong that Shenhou was plotting against him. Zheng Wengong was originally dissatisfied with Shenhou's behavior, and after listening to Tao Tu's words, he immediately ordered Shenhou to be arrested, and pulled out directly without asking! ”

"In this way, this instrument is still a little similar to this Yuan Tao Tu! When Zhang Yi was down, he was a guest in Chu State, and the host's family lost a piece of jade, and everyone saw Zhang Yi's shabby clothes, and they accused Zhang Yi of stealing the jade! Zhang Yi naturally refused to admit it, and was almost beaten to death!

After Zhang Yi gained power, he treated the countries first, and deceived the Chu State again and again, mostly because of the dirtiness of the year! Qin Wu Wang Yingdang waited for Mrs. Wei to finish speaking, and added.

"When the first king was alive, he was very polite to this Zhang Yi, but this Zhang Yi just used my Great Qin as a place for himself to chase fame and fortune. This person is the least trustworthy, and he changes his orders day and night, and he is a complete villain!

King, this person must not be reused! Mrs. Wei said.

"Madame! That's what I'm worried about, too! Now Daqin has no suitable talents except for Zhang Yi, and continues to implement the national policy of 'Lianheng', which is something that widows worry about day and night!

Wei has the chest and abdomen in the world, and South Korea has the throat in the world! Yiyang is the lifeblood of South Korea, the widow had to make this decision, planning to enter Yiyang, after occupying Yiyang, like a sharp blade, inserted into the Kanto, enough to deter the Kwantung countries, capture Yiyang, can break Korea into three, the national strength will inevitably decline. For the countries of the Kanto region, Yiyang is like a gateway.

Once Great Qin gets this city, he can attack Yan Zhao in the north with two weeks, Wei Qi in the east, and Wanchu in the south, so as to win the strategic initiative. Qin Wu Wang Yingdang said very soberly, it can be seen that at this moment, the most true self is actually very difficult, how to protect the Qin State, deal with the next 'merger', how to make Great Qin invincible.

"King! The first army is plotting, the second is the fighting, and the next is to attack the city! Attacking the city is a last resort, the strategic location of Yiyang is extremely important, South Korea is heavily defended by Yiyang, and it is naturally impossible for Chu to let us attack the city!

Besides, above this court, Zhu Li Ji and others are against the capture of Yiyang, and the worries of Zhu Li Ji and others are not unreasonable!

The soldiers of Chu are strong and strong, holding millions of halberds! Although the country of Korea is small, it has the most sophisticated weapons in the world, and the iron-smelting technology is incomparable to the Great Qin State!

A few days ago, I heard the envoy of Zhao State say that Zhao Yong was engaged in some kind of 'Hufu cavalry shooting' in Zhao State, and at the same time secretly trained an elite cavalry! Mrs. Wei said.

"I've heard about this too, but I don't know how effective the cavalry of this Zhao State is?" King Qin Wu continued to ask in the car.

"There are nomadic tribes such as Lin Hu and Lou Fu in the north of Zhao Kingdom, and there is Zhongshan Country in the middle, and the people of Zhao Country are fighting all day long in addition to fighting or fighting! The people are brave, and I think this team is also a force that should not be underestimated! Why didn't the king send someone to check it out? Mrs. Wei continued according to her own speculation.

"To find out about the news, 'Fei Yuwei' has already sent someone to investigate, but he hasn't found out why!" King Qin Wu said.

"Great King, this 'Flying Feather Guard' is the lifeblood of Great Qin, the concubine thinks it is more appropriate for you to take back the rights of the 'Flying Feather Guard'! You can't let Mi Bazi mess around with her son! Mrs. Wei continued.

"Madame, where are you talking about? This Mi Bazi is the beloved concubine of the first king, and he still has the credit of preserving my Daqin back then, although Yingji is more cunning, but he is still my brother anyway!

The 'Flying Feather Guard' is in their hands, and I am still relieved! Qin Wu Wang Yingdang said.

"King! You are just too kind, you don't know your heart! Mrs. Wei wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Yingdang, and Yingdang, King Wu of Qin, opened his mouth and said:

"When I go back, I'll send someone to continue to investigate! Zhao Guo's 'Hufu Cavalry Shooting' has to be treated with caution! The plan to attack Yiyang, if it can get the support of the Great Wei State, it would be great! ”

Mrs. Wei looked at Yingdang with a smile or not, Yingdang looked at Mrs. Wei Guo and looked at herself like this, she was also very uncomfortable, she was still fine, how to say that she would change! It seems that which of his words offended Mrs. Wei Guo, and he took Mrs. Wei's hand and said:

"Madame, why is this so?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little bit of missing your country!" As he spoke, he lifted the curtains on the car with his hand and looked to the east from afar.

"Madame, how about you go to Luoyang with me to meet Zhou Tianzi?" Qin Wu Wang Yingdang suggested.

Mrs. Wei Guo stretched out her hand and picked up the falling snowflakes from the outside, and the cold feeling reached her weak heart.

The man in front of him intends to change the current situation, and perhaps no matter how hard he tries, he can't change his desire for war! (To be continued.) )
