Chapter 38: Shang Jun's Last Wishes
Shan Yu (the name of the Xiongnu Shan Yu before the father of Mao Dun Shan Yu is not examinable, and Shan Yu is replaced by Shan Yu in this book) is not unreasonable, but very reasonable.
Despite the chaos of the Warring States Period, the seven Warring States forces fought each other, and the blood flowed like rivers and corpses piled up like mountains. However, there has never been any ambiguity when it comes to fending off alien invasions. No matter how much hatred there is for each other, once it comes to the invasion of foreign races and the crisis of China, they will unite and work together with the outside world.
This was best reflected in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Why are the "Spring and Autumn Five Tyrants" praised by future generations? Their greatest merit lies not in "respecting the Son of Heaven", but in arrogance. After receiving the urgency of the Yan State, the Duke of Qi Huan personally led the Qi army to attack the Guzhu State, exterminated these Hu people, collected thousands of miles of land, and finally gave it all to the Yan State. Only then did the Yan Kingdom become a great power from a small vassal state.
Qin Mugong let Yu be the military advisor, destroyed more than 20 Xirong people's kingdom, and completely solved the "Xirong" that threatened China for thousands of years, which is a great merit, and the descendants respect Qin Mugong very much.
When the time came for the Warring States, the civil strife in the Central Plains intensified, and the seven major warring states fought and killed more fiercely. However, there is still no ambiguity in the face of foreign invasions. The most powerful proof is that when King Wuling of Zhao fought with the Xiongnu, King Zhao of Qin ordered not only to suspend the upcoming military operation to attack Zhao, but also to order the Qin army stationed in Jiuyuan to prepare for reinforcements.
Moreover, King Qin Zhao gave an order to the Qin army stationed in Jiuyuan, saying that if the Zhao army needed grain and grass, the Qin army would also provide it.
Zhao Wuling Wang Xiongcai is rough. He is very arrogant. declined Qin's support. With the strength of Zhao State, he broke the Xiongnu in the land of Hetao, played the prestige of China, and the ambition of Huaxia.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why he later disguised himself as an envoy of Zhao State to enter Qin State to peep at Qin, and King Qin Zhao let him go.
Although King Wuling of Zhao is a man of great talent, he has many grotesque behaviors, and he disguised himself as an envoy of Zhao State to enter Qin. He met with King Qin Zhao. King Qin Zhao did not doubt it at that time, but only praised this envoy of Zhao State for his heroism and extraordinary. Later, King Qin Zhao became suspicious and ordered someone to inquire, only to know that it was King Zhao Wuling who had entered Qin, which scared King Qin Zhao into a cold sweat.
At this time, King Zhao Wuling had already left Xianyang, and if King Qin Zhao sent someone to chase him, he might be able to catch up. King Qin Zhao did not send anyone to chase after him. King Qin Zhao admired King Zhao Wuling and had no intention of dealing with him.
Shan Yu is also a shrewd person. He expected it to be very accurate, after the Battle of Changping, King Qin Zhao was really desperate to attack Zhao and destroy Zhao, and almost killed Bai Qi for this, if it wasn't for Qin Yiren to save him.
After the Battle of Zhongmu, Qin won a great victory, beheading 700,000 people, Shandong was unable to resist the attack of the Qin army, and Qin could not move eastward. If the Xiongnu were to attack the Xiongnu from the north when the Qin army was advancing eastward, even if King Qin Zhao had the intention to ask the Qin army to attack the Xiongnu in the north, it would be impossible.
Because after the Qin army marched eastward, it was ready to shoot and had to be sent, so if the army wanted to turn around and go north, how easy would it be? Even if King Qin Zhao decisively gave up the eastward advance and ordered the Qin army to go north. Hundreds of thousands of troops are heading north, what a complicated drama is that? By the time the Qin army arrived, the Hetao had long been occupied by the Xiongnu.
Shan Yu's calculation is very good.
"Utra (Hooray)!" The Hun ministers cheered loudly.
"Dare to ask Da Dan Yu, when will the Great Huns attack?" There are ministers who are impatient.
"It's coming. This order is expected to be set, very quickly. It is as little as one and a half years, and as much as three years and five years. Shan Yu was full of confidence, the corners of his mouth cracked, and he sneered: "After the Changping War, the elite of Zhao State has lost everything, and Yingji will definitely pounce on it desperately like a hungry wolf encountering a dead lamb." ”
"Haha!" The ministers laughed so loudly that they almost tore off the roof of their tents.
"Under the sun and moon, above the desert, ten thousand kings, the Huns are single, and the Central Plains is urgent." At this moment, a personal guard rushed in.
"Say, 'What's the matter?' Shan Yu's eyes rolled, and the essence burst out, staring at this guard.
"After the Battle of Changping, the Qin State marched eastward, captured Handan, and destroyed the Zhao State. In the first battle of Zhongmu, 700,000 people were beheaded. The guard hurriedly reported loudly.
"What? Beheading 700,000? ”
"Oh my God! The Tiger Wolf Qin people are too capable of fighting! ”
A group of Hun ministers snorted coldly, with a look of horror on their faces.
Seven hundred thousand, this is a huge number, which is intimidating, even the barbarians like the Huns are terrified.
"......" Shan Yu's mouth was open for a long time, and he was stunned that he didn't speak, and he was also shocked.
For a time, the entire king's tent was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
"Haha!" After a while, Shan Yu finally reacted, high-fived and praised, his face was full of red light, and he smiled very happily: "The opportunity that Shan Yu has been waiting for has finally appeared!" In the coming year, the old man Yingji will definitely send troops to march eastward in a big way, sweep away the countries, and unify the Central Plains. As long as his army moves, the opportunity for the Great Huns has arrived. ”
"Haha!" The ministers were also happy, laughing wildly, and the sound shook the sky.
"Order: Immediately mobilize all the troops and horses, and meet in Dragon City in March of the following year. Well, there is no need to wait until May 5, the period of ancestor worship, to send troops in advance. Shan Yu immediately ordered.
According to the customs of the Xiongnu, the fifth day of the fifth month of May is the day of ancestor worship, on this day, the Xiongnu should rush to the dragon city to worship. However, this opportunity is too rare, it is a good opportunity that the Huns have been waiting for for so many years, and they cannot miss it, so they immediately decided to act in advance.
"Utra!" All the ministers shouted long live.
"Then give an order to Xiu Tu, Hun Xie, Lou Lan, Lou Fu, and Lin Hu, and ask them to come and join them. If you dare to say a word, you will destroy them. Shan Yu ordered again.
Soon, the Huns' flying horses came out in all directions, spreading Shan Yu's orders all over the desert.
XXXXXXX
Xianyang, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Fan Sui knelt on the low table, dealing with political affairs, looking focused. He handled government affairs very quickly, unfolded a bundle of bamboo slips, swept his eyes on them, or called someone to give instructions for a while, or gave instructions on the bamboo slips. After a while, a whole bunch of them were processed.
"Prime Minister, the Inhuman Son is here." At that moment, a clerk came in quickly to give a report.
"Inhuman Child? Invite him in. Fan Sui put down the bamboo slip in his hand, stood up, and prepared to greet Qin Yiren.
In the Qin State, there is no red tape, don't waste the time you can, and save things like this to usher in. However, Qin Yiren is different, and he makes Fan Suida admire from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Qin Yiren made up for his "distant friendship and close attack" strategy to make it more perfect, it was enough to make Fan Sui admire Qin Yiren, and he naturally wanted to greet Qin Yiren in person.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Qin Yiren coming quickly, and said to Fan Sui: "Yiren has seen the prime minister." ”
"Fan Sui has seen Childe." Fan Sui hurriedly returned the salute to Qin Yiren, and said with a smile: "Childe, please come in." ”
"Prime Minister, please." Qin Yiren asked sideways.
The two entered together, Qin Yiren looked at it, and was very surprised, only to see that Fan Sui's handling of the official office was very simple, a short case that grew up, and it was full of bamboo slips. Behind the dwarf case, there is a low table.
The dwarf case is very old, worn in many places, and you can see that it is an old thing at a glance.
In addition, there are some low tables, very ordinary kinds, with many worn, which should be sitting on the councillor.
In the corner of the house, there are also some ordinary tea cups, which should be used for officials to drink tea. Fan Sui here, from time to time, when he encounters a major event, he will convene a group of officials to discuss, and this place and tea will naturally be prepared.
Qin Yiren has entered the mansion of Pingyuan Jun many times, carved beams and painted buildings, resplendent and luxurious. Compared with Fan Sui's Prime Minister's Mansion and Pingyuan Junfu, it can only be described by the word "shabby", and there is no comparison.
"Childe must be surprised, isn't he?" Fan Sui saw Qin Yiren's expression in his eyes and said with a smile: "Everyone who has come to Shandong here is extremely surprised. Some people even laugh at Da Qin's shabby and don't know how to enjoy it. They don't know that the strength of Great Qin lies here. ”
"What the prime minister said is extremely true." Qin Yimida agreed with this, and said: "The land of Shandong is full of luxury, and I only know how to eat, drink and have fun, but I don't know the suffering of the people. And Daqin is not luxurious, simplicity has become the style, and the manpower, material and financial resources are used to conscript, can it not fight the land of Shandong to talk about Qin's color change? ”
"Childe is very knowledgeable, and Fan Sui thinks the same." Fan Sui smiled: "Childe, please take a seat." ”
Qin Yiren sat down, Fan Sui poured a cup of hot tea, put it in front of Qin Yiren, his face was solemn, and he went straight to the topic, and said: "Gongzi is a person who understands, when you know the intention of the monarch to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I won't say more." ”
King Qin Zhao sent Qin Yiren to the prime minister to assist Fan Sui in handling government affairs, in fact, to make Qin Yiren familiar with the government affairs of Qin, which was a painstaking effort. With Fan Sui's talent, he will not be unintelligible.
Of course, Qin Yiren also understood, and nodded slightly.
Fan Sui took an old box, opened it, took out a bundle of bamboo slips from it, and put it on the short table.
Qin Yiren took a look, this bundle of bamboo slips was very old, the top was very smooth, and there was a lot of wear, I don't know how long it had existed.
"Childe has a good eye." Fan Sui saw it in his eyes, nodded slightly, praised it, and said, "This is Shang Jun's handwriting." ”
"What? Shang Jun's handwriting? Qin Yimin was surprised, his eyes were round, and his voice was a little high.
"Huh." Fan Sui couldn't help but smile when he saw it in his eyes, and said, "At the beginning, I heard that this was Shang Jun's handwriting, and I was also surprised. Shang Jun through the talent of heaven and earth, in the Qin State to change the law, Qin State from weak to strong, in one fell swoop to become a first-class Warring States, majestic to the world, can see Shang Jun's handwriting, what a blessing. ”
Speaking of this, Fan Sui picked up the bamboo slip.
Qin Yiren hurriedly reached out to pick it up, he wanted to have a look.
Shang Jun is a legendary figure, who doesn't want to see his handwriting?
However, Fan Sui shrank backwards and did not hand it to Qin Yiren, but said with a smile: "Childe, you know, this is Shang Jun's last wish." ”
"Shang Jun's last wish?" Qin Yiren was so surprised that his eyes almost fell to the ground.
With Fan Sui's status, he would never tell a lie, Qin Yiren hurriedly asked, "What is Shang Jun's last wish?" ”
"Childe, before you read Shang Jun's handwriting, I have to test you: why did Shang Jun implement the strict punishment law in Qin State?" (To be continued.) )
