Chapter 42 Li Mu asks for help

Jicheng, the capital of Yan Kingdom, the palace of King Yan.

The new king, Yan Wangxi, had a gloomy face, sitting on the throne, his eyes wide open, staring at the ministers.

A group of ministers are present, and there is no wise drama to be seen.

Zhongmu's defeat is not trivial for Yan Guo, Yan Wang was frightened, and he hiccuped, and the crown prince succeeded to the throne, that is, the father of Prince Dan, this is the last king of Yan Kingdom, Yan Wangxi.

In the first battle of Zhongmu, King Yan not only died, but the wise drama Xin became the target of the public and was attacked by the whole country, if it weren't for his high prestige and great credit, King Yan might have been executed long ago.

Despite this, Ju Xin could not go to the court and lost his right to speak in the court.

As soon as Zhongmu occupies it, it is no wonder that it is bitter. On the contrary, Ju Xin is very wise, knows the importance of the combination, and insists on the integration, which is not wrong. However, at this time, Yan Guo didn't care so much, he had to find a scapegoat, and the size and length of the drama were the most appropriate.

"The Qin State is going to march eastward and wipe out the nations, Han Wei is difficult to resist, and sooner or later it will be destroyed, how should Dayan deal with it?" Yan Wangxi spoke slowly.

"Your Majesty, what's the concern?" A minister hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "Da Yan is in the northernmost part, if Qin wants to attack Yan, don't be in a hurry, Da Yan will be safe." ”

"That's right, Dayan will be fine." The ministers hurriedly agreed.

At that time, the Yan State was in the northernmost part, far away from the Qin State, and the Qin State was difficult to reach. Qin Shi Huang originally planned to put the Yan Kingdom behind and destroy it, but where did he think that the crown prince Dan actually sent Jing Ke to assassinate, which angered Qin Shi Huang, so he changed the order of destroying the country and ordered Wang Jian to lead the troops. Destroy the Yan Kingdom first.

"In case the Qin State calls. So what to do? Yan Wangxi is still not at ease. Some were terrified.

"Your Majesty, if the Qin State calls, Dayan is invincible, doesn't Dayan still have Liaodong? Dayan can retreat to Liaodong. Another minister was busy with ideas.

Liaodong is now the northeast of the country, and the Yan State occupied part of it as a large rear. It is rumored that Le Yi's military training was carried out in the land of Liaodong. It can be seen that Liaodong is important to the Yan Kingdom.

"Yes, yes, yes! In the bitter cold land of Liaodong, even if the Qin army wanted to pursue, it was impossible, and Dayan could sit back and relax. The ministers chimed in.

"Well, that's right." Yan Wangxi frowned, and finally let go of the heart he was carrying, and said with a smile: "So good!" It's really valuable to have such a good strategy, come on. Set up a wine banquet, and the widow wants to get drunk with Zhuqing! ”

Historically. After the Qin State destroyed the Yan State, the Yan King had nowhere to escape, so he fled to Liaodong to hide, and he really survived for several years. It was not until later that Qin Shi Huang ordered Wang Ben to lead his army into Liaodong, which killed Yan Wangxi.

In the imagination of Yan Wangxi, the bitter cold land of Liaodong, even if the Qin army is successful, it will not be able to stand it. If the situation is unfavorable, he can retreat to Liaodong and then become his Yan King.

Soon, the banquet was served, and the monarch and ministers drank bitterly.

Eat meat, drink wine, it's so happy!

Ying, the capital of Chu, the palace of the king of Chu.

King Chu Kaolie was drinking with Chun Shenjun, and the two of them were smiling and laughing, extremely happy, as if the defeat of Zhongmu did not exist.

In the first battle of Zhongmu, the state of Chu suffered heavy losses, with more than 200,000 soldiers lost, and less than 10,000 of the 300,000 troops returned to the state of Chu, which was such a heavy loss. If it was in the Qin State, Chun Shenjun would have been questioned a long time ago. However, this is the State of Chu, the defeated army is a fart, as long as the Huang family is not defeated, it is a great family of the Chu State, but the losses are more heavy, Chun Shenjun is still Ling Yin.

Not to mention, the defeat of Zhongmu, Xiang Yan is inescapable. In order to get Xiang Yan out of trouble, the Xiang family and the Huang family joined forces to deal with other great families together.

Zhongmu was defeated, and the three major families of Qu Jingzhao saw the opportunity and wanted to take advantage of this to make trouble and oust Chunshenjun, Ling Yin, however, Xiang Huang joined forces to bankrupt their conspiracy.

Besides, Chun Shenjun is good at drilling, flattery, sycophancy, and sycophancy, and the sycophants make King Chu Kaolie happy. Moreover, the two have a good relationship and can wear the same pair of pants.

No, it is possible to sleep with the same woman!

Li Yuan's sister, Li Yan, Chun Shenjun and Chu Kaoli Wang both slept and gave birth to a son, Chun Shenjun and Chu Kaoli King both thought that they were their own blood.

With such an iron relationship, the defeat of Mu Zhi is a fart, that is, he will lose hundreds of thousands of troops, Chun Shenjun is still Chun Shenjun, or Ling Yin.

"In the first battle of Zhongmu, the Qin State got what it wanted, and it was impossible to win Ji, and he was dreaming of sweeping away the Six Kingdoms and dominating the world, he, he was dreaming of Qingqiu." King Chu Kaolie put down the bronze wine lord, grinned disdainfully, and sneered: "He can destroy Korea and Wei, but he can't destroy Great Chu." Why? Because Da Chu is too big, it is not something that Qin can swallow. ”

If the land is vast, the Qin State is far from being the opponent of the Chu State, it is too far behind, and the King of Chu Kaolie is full of confidence.

"Your Excellency is wise." Chun Shenjun was busy patting his ass, smiling very kindly, and said, "With the vastness of Great Chu, what can the Qin State do to me?" The Qin State can defeat the Great Chu, but it cannot destroy the Great Chu. If Ying's capital is not guaranteed, Da Chu can move the capital again. ”

"Yes, yes." King Chu Kaolie slapped his forehead, suddenly realized, smiled very happily, and said: "Chun Shenjun, do you think that if the capital is moved, where should Great Chu move?" ”

"Gusu!" Chun Shenjun didn't think about it, and blurted out.

Gusu is the modern Suzhou, where it was once the capital of Wu State, and there are ready-made palaces. Now, it has fallen into the hands of Chun Shenjun, where he has run a large palace and is very prosperous. If the state of Chu is allowed to move its capital to Gusu, it will be of great benefit to him.

"Good! Gusu was originally the old capital of the Wu Kingdom, and the palace room was ready-made. If Da Chu is defeated, move to Gusu. Well, Chun Shenjun, you have to prepare for this. "King Chu Kaoli immediately agreed.

"Don't worry, your lord, you understand this." Chun Shen Jun said with joy.

Linzi, the capital of Qi, the palace of the king of Qi, a festive atmosphere.

The queen, Qi Wangjian, and Hou Sheng were drinking together, and the three of them were smiling on their faces, pushing the cups and changing the lamps, so happy.

"Brother, you did a good job of leading the army this time, and the whole army returned, and you didn't embarrass Daqi." The queen put down the wine lord and looked at Hou Sheng. Great approvals.

The first battle between China and Mu. He won the whole army and returned. This is because he made a good alliance with the Qin State and turned against the water at the right time. Of course, when this matter came to his mouth, it was not that the Qin State sent someone to persuade him, but that he had the foresight to form an alliance with the Qin State as soon as he saw that the situation was not right. After a clever remark from him, Qin agreed. Let him not only return with the whole army, but also get a lot of benefits and a lot of spoils.

Of course, the queen rejoiced in this. Although the queen is very shrewd, no matter how shrewd she is, she will not doubt her own brother, and she is convinced of this matter, and she is full of praise for Hou Sheng.

Besides, the loot was a real thing, piled up like a mountain. Who dares to doubt it?

Of course, the spoils of the Qi army were distributed. It was Qin Yiren's idea. The Qin State needs him, a traitor, to take the throne, which is of great benefit to the Qin State, and it is a great good thing to give him some spoils of war so that he can have the capital to brag about.

Tian Dan really doubted this, however, Tian Dan was seriously ill and was already sick on the bed, what could he do?

"Brother, you have done a good job, and Yu Daqi has made great contributions. Right now, the prime minister is seriously ill and it is difficult to handle government affairs, so you should work hard and do this. The queen looked at Hou Sheng's younger brother more and more happy, nodded heavily, and said to King Qi: "What does King Qi think?" ”

There is no need to ask, because Qi Wangjian is extremely attached to her mother, what she says is what she says, how can there be any objections, and hurriedly said: "What the queen mother said is extremely true." Uncle, you should take care of this matter a little more. ”

Qi Wangjian also likes this uncle, and he has long wanted to hand over the prime minister's position to him, but Tian Dan is here, and he has no choice. Now, Tian Dan is seriously ill and can't even stay, so the position of prime minister naturally falls to Hou Sheng.

In this way, Hou Sheng began his path to power in the Qi State.

Since Qin Yiren entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and assisted Fan Sui in handling government affairs, he has been very busy. He was mainly busy with two things: one was to run a school, and the other was to improve farm tools.

The matter of running a school, with Xunzi and Gongsun Longzi, the two of them strongly supported it, and Zhang Luo formulated the corresponding laws, selected the site of the museum, and selected the "teachers", but Qin Yiren did not spend too much energy on this.

Qin Yiren was mainly busy improving farm tools, because it was already winter, and it would soon be spring. After the trial production, Quyuan plough is really easy to use, and has been unanimously recognized, King Qin Zhao immediately decreed that this new plough must be used in the spring ploughing.

Grain, for the Qin State, is too important. Although the time is short, it is too late to implement it in the entire Qin State, if it can be implemented in Guanzhong in the spring of the next year, it is also good.

In this way, Qin Yiren was so busy that he didn't even have time to rest.

Soon, winter went to spring, and in a blink of an eye it was spring.

In the north of Zhao State, there is a border city, called Jiuyuan County, also called "Zhao Jiuyuan County".

The reason why it is so clear is because the Qin State also has a Jiuyuan County, called "Qin Jiuyuan County".

Whether it is Qin Jiuyuan County or Zhao Jiuyuan County, it is an important place for China to resist the nomadic peoples of the Hu people, Xiongnu, Xiu Tu, and Hun evil in the north.

Although it was already March, the spring in the north came late, it was still very cold, and there were few pedestrians, and it was very quiet.

"Gotta get it!" A hurried sound of hooves broke the silence, and I saw a horse galloping into Zhao Jiuyuan County.

Zhao Jiuyuan County is not large, covering an area of only ten miles. However, the walls are very strong, and it can be said that the walls are high and thick.

There is an official residence in the city, covering an area of dozens of acres and dozens of houses. Here, it is the county guard's mansion, and it is also the general's mansion of Zhao in Jiuyuan, which guards Jiuyuan and resists the invasion of the Hu people and Xiongnu in the north.

In the general's mansion, there was a tall young man, the whole person was like a sword out of the sheath, heroic and extraordinary.

He is Zhao Guo's guard in Jiuyuan, the future god of war, Li Mu!

Behind Li Mu, there stood a group of generals. Among them, there was a young man, tall and strong, heroic, he was Li Mu's deputy, the famous Sima Shang.

Sima Shang is also a good general, very appreciated by Li Mu, the two are not only superiors and subordinates, but also close friends, and have a deep friendship. In history, after Li Mu was killed, Sima Shang lived in seclusion and disappeared.

"General Yu, Dragon City Urgent!" At that moment, the scout rushed in and shouted from afar. (To be continued.) )
