Chapter 15 Qin Mugong I

finished talking about Jin Wengong

Let's get back to it

Let's talk about the story of Qin Mugong

We talked about it earlier

Jin Xiangong destroyed the Yu State

I originally wanted to reuse Bailixi

But Baili Xi didn't go to work

In the heat of the moment

Jin Xiangong regarded Baili Xi as his daughter's dowry

Sent to the State of Qin

The one who married the daughter of Jin Xiangong

It is Qin Mugong

Baili Xi's dowry is on the way to accompany him

Ran away

Ran to the state of Chu

As a result, he was arrested as a spy

He was then exiled to the South China Sea to herd horses

Let's talk about Qin Mugong

After the marriage

You may want to see how generous your husband is

I checked the list of dowries

It turned out that there was one less slave named Baili Xi

It just so happened that there was a man named Gongsun Zhi under his command

It is from the Jin Kingdom

asked Gongsun Zhi if he knew Baili Xi

Coincidentally

Gongsun Zhi has really heard of Baili Xi

He told the story of Baili Xi to Qin Mugong

Also said

Baili Xi is good at scheming

And loyal and patriotic

It's a rare talent

It's a pity that I didn't meet the master

If the king has this man

Dominate the Central Plains

It's not a dream

Qin Mugong heard that there was such a great talent

I can't even take care of the little daughter-in-law I just married

I want to find Baili Xi right away

After many inquiries

Only then did I know that Baili Xi was herding horses in the Chu State

Qu Cai

It's too condescending

Qin Mugong was about to send someone to see King Chu Cheng with a lot of money

To redeem Bailixi

Gongsun Zhi stopped him in time

king

Baili Xi is not worth so much money

Five sheepskins are enough

Qin Mugong didn't understand

Didn't you say he was talented?

How is it worthless

The king doesn't know anything

King Chu Cheng is also a person who loves talents

He is because he doesn't know the talent of Baili Xi

He was asked to herd horses

If you ransom with a lot of money

King Chu Cheng will be alert

Don't let go of Bailixi

Qin Mugong came to his senses at this time

Qin Mugong's envoy came to the state of Chu

Meet King Chu Cheng

king

We have a slave named Bailixi

Ran to your country

Our king was very angry

Trying to redeem him

Punish in public

to warn other slaves

After saying that, he offered five sheepskins

King Chu Cheng didn't think much about it

Let people find Baili Xi

Handed over to the envoy of the State of Qin

In this way, Baili Xi was brought to the Qin State

Gongsun Zhi greeted him at the border early

The next day

Baili Xi was brought to Qin Mugong

I finally met the legendary Daehyun

Qin Mugong couldn't help but be stunned

In front of him was a bad old man with white hair

Qin Mugong glanced at Gongsun Zhi in confusion

That means

You can't be bringing the wrong person, right?

Gongsun Zhi nodded slightly

Never mind

Maybe it's the time when people let the horses go

It's too much work

Excuse me, sir, Gui Geng

oh

I'm seventy

Qin Mugong gave up completely

I wanted to reuse Mr

But you're too old

I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to let go of the horses

Baili Xi saw that Qin Mugong had something to say

How

Can't I even put my horse down?

No way

I've got to say a few harsh words

Baili Xi stepped forward

I looked left and right

Bow your head and whisper

king

It doesn't matter if you're old or not

It's up to you to ask me to do something

Qin Mugong almost laughed out loud when he made him

Then tell me about it

What can you do?

If the king asks me to go fishing and catch birds

Chase the beast

Then I'm really old

If I could give you advice

Govern the country

I'm still in the right age

Look at Jiang Ziya

He didn't come out of the mountain until he was eighty years old

He also helped King Wu of Zhou to lay down the eternal country

And compare with him

I'm still very young

Qin Mugong felt that this old man dared to compare himself with Jiang Ziya

I can't help but be interested in him

Let's talk about it

It doesn't matter

Baili Xi is always answered

How to govern the world

How to enrich the country and strengthen the army

This old man is talking about the head and the way

In order

Qin Mugong became excited

God help me

God help me

I've got to sir

It's like Qi Huan Gong has Guan Zhong

is about to worship Baili Xi as the prime minister

Baili Xi stopped him in time

king

Calm down

Calm down

I'm capable though

It's comparable to a friend of mine

I'm still a lot behind

This friend that Baili Xi said

His name is Uncle Jian (pronounced the same as picking up).

Back then, Baili Xi wanted to go to Yu State to be an official

Uncle Jian strongly objected

Such a small country

The monarch has no ambitions

It's hard to play your talents

It will also invite calamity

But at that time, Baili Xi

Big-hearted

Nowhere is it available

It's a bit lonely

did not listen to Uncle Jian's advice

It turned out to be one

Captured as slaves

South Sea Herding

And Uncle Jian

Still living in seclusion in the countryside

Wait for your time

Qin Mugong listened to Baili Xi's suggestion

Immediately send someone to find Uncle Ji

Invite him out of the mountain

Assist yourself

Achieve hegemony

soon

Gongzi was ordered by Qin Mugong

Come and find Uncle Jian

Meet Uncle Jian

Childe respectfully handed over the letter

Read the letters

Uncle Jian sighed

Back then, Yu Jun didn't need Baili Xi

Don't listen to advice

Eventually, the country will be destroyed

Now Qin Gonghui's eyes are clear

Appoint wise men

A hundred miles of Xi

That's enough

I've been in seclusion for years

I don't want to be an official again

Childe, please come back

Childe hurriedly accosted

Dr. Baili Xi said

If you don't go to Qin

He didn't want to be left there alone

I hope that Mr. will be perfected

Uncle Jian listened

Nodding helplessly

All right

In order to fulfill Baili Xi

I'll just take a trip

Let's keep it short

Uncle Jian came to Qin with Gongzi

met with Qin Mugong

Pragmatic Qin Mugong

In person, I asked Uncle Jian for advice on how to govern the country and seek hegemony

Anyway, you ask me

Uncle Jian is also welcome

The state of Qin and the minority Xirong are neighbors

The people of Qin have always intermarried with the Rong people

Develop a lot of bad habits

There is no emphasis on etiquette

They don't know how to walk according to the law

In my opinion

The king should strengthen the education of the people

Severe punishment should be imposed on those who commit crimes

Let the people know what to do

What not to do

Have a sense of honor and disgrace

Have a sense of shame

The national climate is correct

The rest is easy to do

Qin Mugong nodded

Then he asked

Then I want to dominate the princes

Pls sir

Where do I start?

Uncle Jian pondered for a moment

If the king wants to dominate

It's not about doing good

Instead, don't do a few things

first

Don't be greedy for small profits

second

Don't be pretentious

third

Don't rush things

looked at Qin Mugong's somewhat dazed eyes

Uncle Jian explained further

Coveting small profits often suffers big losses

Righteousness can make people lose their minds

It's easy to make bad decisions in a hurry

The king can only do everything step by step

Only then can we lay a good foundation for the country's prosperity

With a strong foundation of its own

can talk about hegemony among the princes

After listening to Uncle Jian's analysis

Qin Mugong's mouth suddenly opened

There is a great sense of seeing each other and hating each other

I got Baili Xi and Uncle Jian

It's like having two more arms

The next day

Bai Li Xi is the left minister

Uncle Jian is the right phase

With the assistance of two sages

The state of Qin gradually became stronger

In the years that followed

The state of Qin helped many princes of the Jin state ascend to the throne

He also worked with Qi to help Jin defeat Chu

Its own strength is stronger

628 BC

Jin Wengong died

Qin Mugong felt that this would be long and the other would disappear

The time has come

I want to take the opportunity to attack the Jin Kingdom

Establish hegemony

Want to fight

That's where the opportunity comes

Someone in Zheng Guo reported to Qin Guo

It is said that he holds the gates of Zheng Guo

The Qin army went to sneak attack

He can serve as an internal response

Open the gates

Qin Mugong told the news to Baili Xi and Uncle Jian

Both of them felt that this matter was not very reliable

A thousand-mile march to sneak up on someone else's

There are very few that don't leak the news

Again

Zheng has someone to reveal secrets to us

It's hard to guarantee that some of us will leak secrets to Zheng Guo

At this time, Qin Mugong couldn't wait

Back then, I helped the Jin Kingdom to quell the civil strife

I have appointed several of their kings

I should have been the lord of the princes a long time ago

It's just that the Jin State defeated the Chu State

I didn't fight with Chong'er

Now Heavy Ear is also dead

It's time for me to carry out my plan to dominate the world

Don't persuade you

Then he appointed Baili Xi's son Meng Ming as the main general

Uncle Jian's sons Xi Qishu and Bai Yibing were deputy generals

The army went straight to Zheng Guo
