Su Qin returned to the pavilion and unexpectedly saw a person standing outside the pavilion door, dressed as a scholar.

Su Qin took a closer look, it was Qin Gongsun Yan.

Su Qin jumped out of the car and said, "I've seen Da Liangzao in the next place!" ”

"Hehehe," Gongsun Yan replied, "The uninvited guest Gongsun Yan has seen Suzi." ”

"Uninvited guests are also guests!" Su Qin smiled back at him and pointed to the door of the hall, "This is not a place to entertain, Daliangzao, please!" ”

The two entered the hall hand in hand, and the guests and hosts sat down.

"Hey, Su Zi," Gongsun Yan stared at Su Qin, not without emotion, "Xianyang has been farewell, it's been more than a year!" ”

"Yes," Su Qin also sighed, "When I was in Xianyang, thanks to Daliang's wrong love, I am grateful for thinking about it!" ”

"Ashamed, ashamed!" Gongsun Yan shook his head again and again, "It's incompetent, and I'm succumbing to Suzi!" ”

"Hehehe," Su Qin chuckled a few times, "Speaking of this, it's too late to thank you." ”

"Oh?" Gongsun Yan was slightly surprised, "Su Zi went to Qin to go through all the grievances, what do you want to thank?" ”

"That's what I'm thankful for." Su Qin smiled faintly, "If you don't hide it from Brother Gongsun, if it is in Qin Dezhi, you won't reflect on it, and you won't be able to understand the way of integration." ”

"Speaking of Hezong, there is a concern below, I don't know if Suzi wants to hear it?"

"Brother Gongsun, please speak."

"Su Zi advocates cooperation, has good intentions, and is convinced. Su Zi looks at the high place and starts from the low place, and the extraordinary courage can be seen everywhere, which also makes the subordinates admire. It's just that Su Zi ignored one thing, that is, people's hearts are not the same. After repeatedly pondering Su Zi's strategy of combining and verticalizing, what Su Zi holds is nothing more than a balance of forces. Su Zi opposed the Qin people because he ruled the people by law and persuaded people with force. But what Su Zi did, wasn't it also to oppress people with power? ”

"Hehehe," Su Qin smiled, "Brother Gongsun has misunderstood. Checks and balances are not oppression. Hezong is not to convince people with force, let alone to suppress people with power, but to convince people with reason and balance with force. It is held by the below, but it is only a balance of forces, not an overpowering force. Don't Brother Gongsun have been in Qin for a long time, and he can't even distinguish the meaning of the words! ”

"I don't understand it, it's Su Zi's words that don't reach the meaning!" Gongsun Yan smiled bitterly.

"Oh?" Su Qin leaned over, "Where are the words not meaningful, please ask Brother Gongsun for advice!" ”

"If Su Zi only advocates the integration of the three Jins, he can be called a balance of powers. I heard that Su Zi has recently expanded his longitudinal theory, committed to the indulgence of the Six Kingdoms, and only takes one Qin as the enemy, I am afraid that it will not be a check and balance, no matter how you look at it, it will be like bullying the widow and bullying people with power! ”

"Alas!" Su Qin sighed, "If these words are said by Shang Jun's mouth, it can still be understood below." Today, I heard Brother Gongsun say that it is really difficult to go down..." sighed again, stared at Gongsun Yan, and shook his head exaggeratedly.

"Dare to ask Suzi, what's the difference?" Gongsun Yan can't get over it.

"Shang Jun is dedicated to the law, and he is a force to change the law, and he only knows the word 'force', but he does not know the word 'reason' and the word 'system'. Brother Gongsun is different. Brother Gongsun is not in the law, let alone bullying. ”

"Zai Xia and Su Zi are just one-sided friends, how can Su Zi know that Zai Xia Zhi is not in the law, let alone bullying others?"

"Not long ago, the King of Wei invited him to drink together, and when he was drunk, when it came to the talents of the world, the first thing the King of Wei praised was Brother Gongsun! I heard King Wei say that Brother Gongsun wrote a book called 'Ten Strategies for Xing Wei', which he read in the morning and evening, and he couldn't sleep at night! It's a pity that he only has the first four strategies there, and he always reads it and stops abruptly. In the next question, Brother Gongsun asked about the essence of his masterpiece, and the King of Wei came one by one, such as a number of treasures. After listening for half an hour, I never heard half of the word 'force', but only heard the word 'reason' everywhere. Brother Gongsun today talks about the combination of longitudinal, does not pay attention to the word, only recognizes the word force, and is incomprehensible below! ”

Xu is the first time to hear from an outsider that King Wei Hui attaches so much importance to his own philosophy, Gongsun Yan was both shocked and emotional, buried his head for a long time, raised his head, gave Su Qin a wry smile, and arched his hand: "I am ignorant, please Su Zi talk about this word 'reason'!" ”

"There is only one solution to the word 'reason', which is the benefit and harm. Brother Gongsun was in Wei yesterday, and he was planning for Wei because of the "Ten Strategies for Xing Wei". Today's affairs of Qin, for Qin's plot, is to be ordered to make Wei, defeated in the lower group. Brother Gongsun and the Duke of Qin are both about to be defeated, because they don't know the interests and disadvantages between the relatives and the Qin people. ”

"Please tell me what is at stake!"

"The indulgence of the Six Kingdoms is beneficial to Qin, and there is no harm!" Su Qin paused word by word.

"Really?" Gongsun Yan gave a wry smile, "Su Zi joined the world to control Gu Qin, and it can be said that it is beneficial to Qin without any harm, this is really a strange talk!" ”

"Hehehe," Su Qin replied with a smile, "Brother Gongsun is pretending to be confused." The indulgence of the six countries is six hearts, and the Qin country has the same desire, which is one heart. Six hearts against one heart, if there is a war, may I ask Brother Gongsun, which side is better? ”

"If the six hearts are one, of course it is better."

"Before the two armies are in battle, can you talk about ifs?" Su Qin asked rhetorically, and then continued to speak, "Although the six countries are united, they are like a plate of scattered sand; Although Qin is a country, it is like a scale. A plate of loose sand against a scale, which is better or worse, does not disappear and says. Besides, Qin is a country of four stops, and the solidity of mountains and rivers is better than a million soldiers. Don't say that the six countries have six hearts, even if the six countries work together to attack Qin, the victory or defeat is also between the two and the middle, and this is one of them; Qin has six enemies, and he will have the same desire from top to bottom, and he will make great efforts to make the country prosperous, eliminate the disadvantages and prosper the benefits, so as to maintain his vitality and fight against the great enemy, and the other is also. Isn't it a good thing that there is great benefit to Qin, but there is no harm? ”

"This..." Gongsun Yan stammered.

"Also," Su Qin was still in the aftermath, "the purpose of the joint column is to contain Qin, not to destroy it." Before Xia, he appealed to the emperor and tried to annex the world with the power of Qin, but fortunately it was not implemented, otherwise, the world may be bleeding, which is contrary to the original intention. The purpose of seeking unity in the present is to establish a new pattern of peace among princes, reconciliation among nations, and co-governance of the world. The Six Nations Coalition is only the first step in the chess game that it is seeking, and the next step is to dialogue with Qin and seek a way to reconcile the world. However, this is a long-term strategy, and the first step has not yet been decided, and the second step is impossible to talk about. I appealed to Brother Gongsun in the future, and I hope Brother Gongsun will understand. ”

"Alas," Gongsun Yan sighed and clenched his fists, "Su Ziyuan is righteous, and he looks down on him." I don't know what I can do for Suzi? ”

"Assist the Duke of Qin and make the State of Qin strong."

"Hahahaha," Gongsun Yan was stunned at first, then understood, pointed at Su Qin, and laughed a few times, "What a Su Zi, there is really you!" He laughed again and got up to take his leave.

Su Qin sent it to the door, arched his hand and asked with a smile: "I think of something in the next place, and I really want to ask Brother Gongsun for advice." ”

Gongsun Yan paused: "Suzi, please speak." ”

"It's a private matter." Su Qin took a step forward and pretended to be mysterious, "Dare to ask Brother Gongsun, what did you say to Pang Juan when you went to Wu'an Jun's Mansion that day, he seemed to be a different person!" ”

Gongsun Yan also took a step forward, close to Su Qin's ear, and his tone was equally mysterious: "I didn't say anything else, but I just talked about Brother Su's prestige in the world, his swagger and pomp, and it was a little exaggerated." ”

"Hahahaha..."

The embassy of the state of Qin is located next to the pavilion post of Su Qin, which is no more than a hundred steps apart.

Gongsun Yan returned to the hall and sat down, closing his eyes and meditating.

Before Gongsun Yan could fully figure it out, a sound of footsteps entered, and Gongzihua came in.

Gongzihua glanced at him and stood still across from him.

"Mr. Hua, please take a seat!" Gongsun Yan knew that it was him, so he didn't open his eyes, and said lightly.

"Xie Daliangzao!" Gongzihua sat down in the waiter's seat, "Are you going to see Special Envoy Su here?" ”

Gongsun Yan's heart sank. When he went to see Su Qin, he didn't tell anyone, and he changed into civilian clothes and sneaked past at night, Gongzihua actually said a word, it seems that he knows everything about his actions.

"See." Although Gongsun Yan was shocked in his heart, his face was calm, "What do you want to know?" ”

"Great!" Xu felt Gongsun Yan's displeasure, and Gongzihua explained in a low voice, "I just came back next, and I reported to Da Liangzao in an emergency, but I couldn't find it, and then I heard that Da Liangzao went to Suzi's pavilion." ”

"What's the urgency of Childe?"

"In the next report, Pang Juan visited his grandson in Nanjie after retiring from the dynasty today."

"Pang Juan?" Gongsun Yan was shocked, "What did he do?" ”

"I don't know the details. It was daytime, and our people didn't dare to get too close to it just in case of accidents. However, "Gongzi Hua had a little meal," when he delivered the meal to the evening Fan kitchen, he saw tears in the corners of his grandson's eyes! ”

"Tear stains?" Gongsun Yan muttered and repeated.

"Yes." Gongzi Hua said, "The grandson rarely washes his face, and the dirt is very thick, if there are tears, it is obvious." I think it was Pang Juan who said something to him that broke his heart. ”

"If that's the case," Gongsun Yan slowly opened his eyes and stared at Gongzihua, "You have to keep an eye on your grandson." We must be careful of Pang Juan's harm, but we must not let Su Qin succeed. ”

"You mean, Su Qin wants to take away his grandson?" Childe Hua was taken aback.

"When I went down to see Su Qin, I wanted to persuade him to give up his indulgence, but I didn't want him to not only give up, but to indulge in the six countries. If as expected, Su Qin will go to Qi in the near future. Once the Six Kingdoms are formed, the Qin State is in danger! The danger can be solved at a moment's notice, but it is not a long-term strategy, and swords are inevitable. ”

Childe Huachang took a breath.

"In the next sentence, among the sons of Guigu, Su Qin and Pang Juan do not agree with each other and will not come together. The one who can come together with Su Qin must be Sun Bin. Since Su Qin had already seen Sun Bin, he must have known that he was not crazy and would definitely try to rescue him. ”

"Yes. Sun Bin shouldn't be us, it's Su Qin who is waiting! Childe Hua said.

"There are not many soldiers, but generals. The six countries have Pang Juan, which has become a great harm, and if you get another grandson, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"Yes!" Gongzihua's face was solemn.

"In the next place, I will rush back to Xianyang to resume my life. Childe stayed, no matter what, he couldn't let Su Qin succeed! ”

"No!" Gongzi Hua should pass, get up and leave.

There are three roads from Handan, the capital of Zhao, to Qin, one is to enter the westward caliber of Fu, cross the Taihang Mountain, turn north from the Han land into Jinyang, go south from the Fenshui River Valley, cross the river into the west of the river, one is to cross the Taihang Mountain and go south, through the Korean Shangdang Heights, from Wei Anyi to the west of the river, and one is to go south along the east side of Taihang Mountain, out of Chaoge, Suxukou, through Wei, Han, along the river to Luoyang, and then enter the Kun Road, Hangu Road into Qin. Although the mountain road is close, it is rugged, and after discussion, Sheren and Zhang Yi decided to take a relatively stable southern route.

The Jiashe people went to the market to buy four strong horses, replaced them with a more comfortable and pleasant new car, purchased a batch of precious medicinal materials of Zhao and Yan, such as musk, ginseng and other things, filled two boxes and pressed them under the car, carried Zhang Yi and Xiangnu, and drove away from Handan without hurry.

The day after the Jiashe people left, Gongzi made Zhao Renma also return to the court, and he happened to choose the southern route, and he had caught up with them in a few days. The Jashes pretended not to know and gave way to the chariot and horse. Since then, the two sides have been wrong or wrong, and they have not spoken all the way, but they are peers, sometimes even staying at the same inn.

After more than 30 days of long-distance bumps, the two groups arrived in Xianyang on the same day.

Gongzi rushed into the Qin Palace, met with Duke Huiwen, and explained in detail how Su Qin set up a trap to humiliate Zhang Yi, and how he was in pain after Zhang Yi left.

"Alas," Hui Wengong sighed with emotion after hearing this, "The widow lost Su Qin with a single thought." Although Zhang Yi is obtained, it is not enough to be happy! ”

"Brother Jun," Gongzi said hurriedly, "According to Su Zi's recommendation, Zhang Yizhi's talent is definitely not under Su Zi." ”

Hui Wengong gave him a wry smile: "Even Su Zi's self-humble words, do you believe it?" ”

"Brother Jun," Gongzi argued, "Brother Jun thinks that Zhang Yi's talent is indeed as Su Zi said." Not to mention anything else, just helping Chu to destroy Yue is evident. The Yue Kingdom has been sluggish for a hundred years, only rising under the rule of Wujiang, with a large number of capable ministers, and the people are happy to die, and the edge is approaching the Central Plains. Zhang Yi has been in Chu for less than two years, but he helped the king of Chu to destroy him in one fell swoop, such a feat is unprecedented! ”

"Brother Ji doesn't need to say more!" Hui Wengong arbitrarily waved his hand to interrupt him, "If this person is a great talent, he will not be trapped in Chu and humiliated in Zhao." It can be seen from this: in Chu, he is not as good as Chen Zhen; In Zhao, he is not as good as Su Qin. ”

"This..." Gongzi was blinded by Huiwen Gong, he opened his mouth and was stunned, and knelt down and knocked, "Brother Jun, the past cannot be chased." Su Zi is no longer available, I can't lose Zhang Zi again! ”

"Okay, okay, the widow knows." Hui Wengong waved his hand, showing an impatient tone, "You also get up, this time Zhao has been tired for a few months, the saddle horse is tired, and the sick brother must have worked hard, go back and raise it for a few days, and then come to the court." ”

Childe got up and retired.

Seeing him withdraw, Huiwen Gong coughed lightly, and the ministers flashed out.

Hui Wengong didn't raise his head, and commanded in a low voice: "If Mr. Jia arrives, please come quickly!" ”

The ministers hurried out.

The Jia Sheren drove Zhang Yi and his wife to Donglai Street and stopped in front of the inn where Su Qin once lived.

Since Su Qin left, Gongzi was ordered to rectify Donglai Street, and all private inns were taken under the official camp, and the owner of the inn was fined and confiscated all his property, and the distributor Luoshan District suffered. Zhuyuan also returned to Nanshan, and the political forum of the hero curie was never held again, and the business of Donglai Street plummeted.

After being converted into an official camp, the inn was transported to change the owner, the new owner was a retired sergeant, his left hand was broken in the Hexi War, and he was appointed as the shopkeeper by the government because of his military merits, and he made a living by commissions.

Almost without any hesitation, Zhang Yi fell in love with the exquisite courtyard where Su Qin once lived.

The Jasher people secretly sighed, and also chose a house by themselves, and paid the deposit together.

Zhang Yi instructed Xiao Er to boil hot water, close the door of the prison, and take a bath in the bathroom.

Leaving people out, he hurriedly returned after a while, smiled bitterly at Zhang Yi, and arched his hand: "Alas, business matters are really annoying." I'm going to have to get out of here, I'm really sorry! ”

Zhang Yi smiled and saluted him back: "Brother Jia can go and get busy, these drinks and dishes will be put here first, and when Brother Jia comes back, it will not be too late for you and me to drink again." ”

The Jasher people said goodbye and rode away in the carts of the people who came.

Zhang Yi sat for a while, and told Xiao Er to put away the wine and food and return to the small courtyard.

Xiangnu had already come out of the bath and was combing her hair in the mirror, and when she saw him coming back, she asked with a smile: "Where is Mr. Jia?" ”

"It's out." Zhang Yi responded, sat down, and closed his eyes slightly.

Xiangnu whispered, "Mr. Jia shouldn't leave us alone again, right?" ”

Zhang Yi ignored her.

The fragrant girl glanced at him, and was about to ask, when the neighing of the horses of the Jasher people sounded in the backyard, and she laughed and said, "Where do I want to go?" The gentleman's carriage is still in the backyard. ”

The people of Jia She did not return overnight, and got up the next morning, only to come back from outside, the smell of alcohol was still there, and when they met, they hugged their fists and sighed: "Alas, Zhang Zi, I can't help it, I went out last night for business, and I didn't want to meet the giant Jia in Guanzhong, so I forced him to drink and eat a few glasses in the bottom, and he couldn't come back." ”

Zhang Yi hugged his fists and returned the salute: "Brother Jia is happy, congratulations in the next way." ”

"Hehehe," the Jasher man laughed a few times, "don't hide it, this wine is not drunk for nothing." That giant is very familiar with Zhongnan Mountain, and he wants to buy strange goods under him, and he can't do it without him! It's a coincidence that he's going into the mountains today, and I'll have to go with him here. As he spoke, he took out a bag from his sleeve and turned to the incense girl, "This time I entered the mountain, I don't know how long it will take to come back, this is thirty taels of gold, Mrs. will take it for the time being." When you go out, you can't go without money! ”

Xiangnu hesitated, glanced at Zhang Yi, and thanked her: "This time I came to Qin, I ate and used it all the way, how can we take so much money?" ”

Jia Sheren forced the money bag into the hand of the incense girl, and said with a smile: "Madame doesn't take this money, do you still want to sell the sword?" ”

The fragrant girl blushed, accepted the money bag, and bowed down to thank her.

Jia Sheren pointed to the carriage and horses in the backyard and said to Zhang Yi: "A friend came to pick me up, and the car will be left to Zhangzi." Whenever he was bored, Zhang Zi took his sister-in-law around the city. ”

Zhang Yi thanked him and sent the housekeeper out. There was a big car waiting outside the door. Leave people to get in the car and wave goodbye.

For the next few days, Zhang Yi sat in the hall, looking at the old locust tree in the courtyard in a daze. Of course, Zhang Yi didn't know that Wu Qin had been hanged on this old tree, let alone that Su Qin had lived in this courtyard back then, and he had faced this old locust tree in a daze like him.

Xiangnu was a little anxious. Previously, whether it was in the Yue State or the Chu State, Zhang Yi was often a person who had not yet arrived, and the overall plan had been calculated, and as soon as he put his feet on the ground, he would put it into practice, either looking for this or that, and he was very busy. This time in Qin, Xiangnu felt that Zhang Yi seemed to have become another person, listless, depressed, even if she laughed, it was forced out, not out of inner joy.

Xiangnu knew that he was reluctant to enter Qin, but she didn't know why. At this time, seeing him so uncomfortable, the incense girl wanted to persuade a few words, but she didn't know how to persuade her, so she had an idea and laughed: "Husband, the incense girl had a dream last night, and she dreamed that there would be an adventure. Xiangnu thought, if we keep staying in this courtyard, where will the adventure come from? ”

Zhang Yi raised her head, glanced at her, got up and walked out of the yard, found Xiao Er, asked him to prepare the car, and asked the store to settle the store money, and told the fragrant girl to pay.

The fragrant girl was stunned: "Husband, won't you come back at night?" ”

Zhang Yi responded: "Didn't you dream of an adventure? I'll take you there. ”

Xiangnu knew that once Zhang Yi made a decision, she just figured it out, so she paid the store money and jumped into the car.

Zhang Yi whipped the horse and galloped towards the east gate.

The vehicle went out of the city and threw itself in the direction of Luoshui.

When Gongzi heard that Zhang Yi and his wife were out of the city, he thought that he was going to go outside the city to be bored, but he didn't take it to heart. When he learned that the two had settled the store money, Gongzi was in a hurry, and sent someone to follow him, notifying the border guards to stop people, and entering the palace to play Qin Gong.

After listening to Gongzi's ill Chen Song, Hui Wengong smiled faintly and turned to the minister: "Pass the decree to the border, don't stop him." Wherever this person wants, let him go! ”

The minister should pass, turn and walk out.

"Brother Jun?" Childe was dumbfounded.

"Look at your urgency." Hui Wengong glanced at him and said with a sneer, "Brother Ji, don't worry, this baby bump of yours will not leave the Qin State for half a step." ”

Seeing that Gong Qin was so determined, Gongzi became more and more puzzled: "Why? ”

"Because he has nowhere else to go." Hui Wengong took out the chess game from several cases and slowly opened it, "Come on, come on, our brothers haven't played against each other for a long time." ”

Childe had no intention of playing, but he didn't dare to resist the order, so he fought casually, and lost two games in a row in an hour. Hui Wengong seemed to be very interested in chess and refused to give up, so Gongzi had no choice but to reopen the chess game.

When the game reached the middle game, the minister said: "Tanma came back, as expected, Zhang Yi and his wife did not go to Hangu Pass, but turned in the direction of Luoshui, it should be Ben Shaoliang." ”

Hearing the word "Shaoliang", Gongzi suddenly realized that he lost his voice and shouted: "Is he going to Zhangyi to worship his ancestors?" ”

"Hehehe, although the body comes, the heart is not convinced!" Hui Wengong laughed a few times, "If you don't let him go back and see, how can you do it?" Okay, brother Ji, it's time to get concerned. If you lose again, see how the widow punishes you! ”

Gongzi laughed heavily, not without admiration, his eyes stared at the chess game, and he was confident: "Brother Jun, this game is won by the minister!" As he spoke, he touched a son, and a "pop" fell on the table.

"It's the widow who wins!" Hui Wengong also took out a son, pinched it in his hand, and smiled mysteriously at Gongzi, "However, if the widow wants to win, he still needs the help of his brother to perform a small play." ”

"Little play?" Childe hurriedly asked, "What kind of play?" ”

"Hehehe," Hui Wengong "snapped" and dropped the chess pieces in his hand, "As soon as the scene arrives, you will know." ”

Zhang Yi and his wife stayed overnight, not in a hurry, and rushed to the Liangdi boundary on the third day.

Along the way, Zhang Yi was almost speechless.

The closer Zhang Yi got to Zhang Yi, the more dull Zhang Yi's mood became, and the speed of the car slowed down more and more. Xiangnu sat silently in the car, looking at the heavy husband, and her heart was like pressing a stone.

Zhang Yi arrived.

Thinking that there was no place for himself in Yizhong, Zhang Yi sighed, drove into the field, and galloped towards the ancestral tomb.

Under the high slope of the ancestral tomb, Zhang Yi stopped, stared at the incense girl, and said in a solemn tone: "Madam, we have arrived." ”

Since getting married, this is the first time that Zhang Yi has called her wife so solemnly.

The fragrant girl was stunned at first, then burst into tears, looked in the direction he was facing, and said in a trembling voice: "Husband..."

Zhang Yi pointed to the high slope in front of him: "Madam, do you know what kind of place this is?" ”

"Hmm." The fragrant girl seemed to understand and nodded, "It's our home." ”

"Madame is right," Zhang Yi burst into tears and choked up, "this is our home. Reaching out to help her get out of the car, she gently held her, "Let's go, madam, let's go home!" ”

The two of them held hands and climbed the high slope step by step.

The slopes are lush.

Suddenly, Zhang Yi shook off the incense girl and looked around at the cemetery, dumbfounded.

The whole cemetery has been renovated, a low wall has been built around it, many pines and cypresses have been planted, and there are hundreds of potted chrysanthemums, all of which are potted wild chrysanthemums, which are neatly placed and blooming in this late autumn wind, at first glance, it looks like a wild chrysanthemum garden.

What surprised Zhang Yi even more was that a tombstone taller than a person was erected at the head of each tomb, and an altar carved out of a single stone was set up in front of the tombstone, and various offerings and flowers were placed on the altar.

Oh my God, even the ancestral tomb was occupied by the Qin people!

Zhang Yi's heart "boomed", and she desperately pounced on the grave where her parents were buried together.

Zhang Yi carefully examined the stele and saw that the inscription was still engraved with the names of his parents. Zhang Yi looked at the other inscriptions urgently, and each tablet was clear, even if it was Uncle Zhang's grave, there was no mistake or omission.

Zhang Yimeng stood there stupidly, forgetting to worship and forgetting the incense girl.

However, the incense girl understood, slowly walked to Zhang Yi's side, knelt down in front of his parents' graves, and bowed.

Zhang Yi also woke up, knelt down beside the fragrant girl, and worshiped together.

"Father, mother," Zhang Yi murmured after the ceremony, "Yi'er is unscrupulous, wandering for many years, returning home with nothing, failing to add glory to the ancestors and fighting for the second elder." Yi'er's only achievement is to bring back a daughter-in-law for Zhangmen. The child is not good, but the daughter-in-law is a virtuous lady, today she came to visit her parents, hoping that her parents are in the spirit of the sky, and bless her happiness! ”

Only then did the incense girl understand that under the grave in front of her was her in-laws, and cried: "My daughter-in-law, Gongsun Yan, visited my father-in-law and mother-in-law!" "Said that Bilian bowed several times, buried his head on the ground, and wept silently.

Zhang Yi accompanied the incense girl to weep for a while, took her to worship one grave after another, and told her the story of the people in the tomb for each worship. The last one is Uncle Zhang, Zhang Yi talked about how he worked for their family, how he brought him up, and how he never left his family when he suffered misfortune and accompanied his mother. Xiangnu heard tears rippling when she heard this, bowed to him at the grave again, and murmured: "Husband, Uncle Zhang's life is exactly the same as Uncle Jing. ”

"Yes," Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Whether it's Uncle Zhang or Brother Jing, they are all good people. In this world, there are always bad people, but there are more good people..."

Zhang Yi was sighing to herself, and there was a chaotic sound of footsteps on the slope, as if a few people went straight up.

Zhang Yi turned her head and looked stunned, because it was not someone else who rushed to the front, it was Xiao Shun'er and Xiao Cui!

They were followed by two and a half children, the eldest five or six years old, and the younger two or three years old.

Both sides were stunned for a while, Xiao Shun'er and Xiao Cui'er finally woke up, stumbled to the front, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, crying with joy: "Young master! The two children also followed, the older one knelt down, and the younger one didn't know what happened, Xu was frightened and stupid, and "plopped" and lay down on the spot, waw wow crying.

Zhang Yi also came to her senses, and stretched out her hand to pull up Xiao Shun'er and Xiao Cui'er: "I really didn't expect it to be the two of you, hurry up, hurry up, this master has something to ask." ”

The two got up, and Xiao Cui'er picked up the crying child, and while bluffing him not to cry, she looked at the fragrant girl with her eyes.

Zhang Yi asked Xiao Shun'er urgently: "What is going on with you..." When did you come back? ”

"Returning to the master," Xiao Shun'er said carefully, "That day, before leaving, Uncle Zhang recognized Cui'er as his daughter, and fulfilled the marriage between the villain and Cui'er. The villain and Cui'er had nowhere to go, so they went to Hedong and stayed at Uncle Zhang's house. Not long ago, Young Master Wu visited us and picked us up. ”

"Young Master Wu?" Zhang Yi was stunned, "Which Young Master Wu?" ”

"It's just... it's the young Liang Kuoshao who competed with the master in our family that year. Master, Young Master Wu is really amazing right now, it's Shaoliang Ling! ”

Zhang Yi pointed to the cemetery: "These are all set up by Young Master Wu?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Shun'er nodded and replied, "Young Master Wu not only renovated our family's ancestral tomb, but also returned all our family's real estate and real estate. The guy who usurped our family's property also made Young Master Wu convicted. The villain's family lives in the original courtyard of our family for a while, guarding the family business for the owner. The villain heard that a carriage and horses were galloping here, and said that two people got out of the car and came to the cemetery. The villain asked about his appearance, and felt that he looked like the master, so he hurriedly took Cui'er and the two cubs to visit. ”

"Hehehe," Zhang Yi understood, and let out a sigh, "Xiao Shun'er, Xiao Cui'er, and two cubs, come and come, meet your master mother!" ”

Xiao Shun'er and Xiao Cui'er hurriedly pulled the two children to kneel on the ground and knocked on the fragrant girl. The fragrant girl's face turned crimson, and she hurriedly pulled them up. The family walked down the dirt slope and returned home, laughing and laughing.

Xiao Shun'er instructed the servants to kill pigs and sheep, and the whole family was like a New Year. By the time it got dark, Xiao Cui'er had already prepared their bedroom, and Zhang Yi walked into the new house with the hand of the fragrant girl like a newlywed.

After many years of wandering, Zhang Yi slept in her own home for the first time, sleeping on the couch where she had slept since she was a child. This night, Zhang Yi felt relaxed like never before, and slept very steadily, wave after wave of snoring was like rolling thunder from afar, which shook the fragrant girl tossing and turning, and sat helplessly on the edge of the couch, watching Zhang Yi's limbs spread out, and almost all of the huge bed was occupied.

Yes, this is his home, where he was born and raised. Guarding next to him is Xiao Shun'er, who plays with him, is loyal to him, and is obedient.

The next morning, Zhang Yi had breakfast and instructed Xiao Shun'er: "Prepare the car, go to Shaoliang with the young master!" ”

Xiao Shun'er pointed to the courtyard door: "The villain has already been prepared, master, please!" ”

Zhang Yi walked to the gate of the courtyard and saw that the carriage of the horse had been prepared. What made him even more desirable was that Xiao Shun'er actually found the stone stone that he had competed with Young Master Wu back then, and erected it prominently in the courtyard.

Zhang Yi saw Shi Yan, hehe was straight, took a step forward, rolled up his sleeves, clasped both ends of the stone with both hands, and shouted "get up", Shi Yan had been held up by him with both hands. In the cheers of everyone, Zhang Yi held Shi Yan around the car, gently put it on the car, clapped his hands, and smiled at Xiao Shun'er: "Good boy, you still think about it!" ”

Xiao Shun'er said a few times: "The master's thoughts, the villain has already figured it out." ”

"Good, good! Find a few people! ”

"Great!" Xiao Shun'er responded, and gently high-fived the courtyard, and more than a dozen strong men came out of the side room, standing in front of Zhang Yi in unison, waiting for his life.

Zhang Yi glanced at them, nodded with satisfaction, and shouted loudly: "Let's go, find that kid to compete!" ”

Zhang Yi and Xiao Shun'er were shocked here, and when they saw that the fragrant girl was in a fog, they grabbed Cui'er and asked, "Cui'er, what are they doing here?" ”

Cui'er glanced at them: "Don't worry, the master mother, they are playing child's play." ”

"Child's play?" The fragrant girl became more and more puzzled, and looked at Cui'er with wide eyes.

"It's all old things," Cui'er smiled and turned to the fragrant girl, "If the master wants to hear it, the slave will say it." ”

Xiangnu naturally wanted to hear Zhang Yi's old things, so she couldn't wait: "Say it quickly." ”

Cui'er pulled the incense girl and rushed to the back garden, where she recounted Zhang Yi's old affairs.

Outside the courtyard gate, Xiao Shun'er had already placed the stepping stone (stepping stone), Zhang Yi jumped up, Xiao Shun'er whipped the horse, and more than a dozen strong men trotted behind the car.

Someone had already reported that Shaoliang Mansion, Wu Qing personally led the people in the house to welcome the people out of the city gate for several miles, and when he saw Zhang Yi's posture, he saw the stone stone on the back of the car, and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, you are a young man, what years are you, and you still remember that file!" ”

Zhang Yi said: "What happened back then was to miss the appointment!" Today, I went to the door under the door, and I apologized to Lord Wu for missing the appointment, and implored Lord Wu to punish him; Second, for the performance of the contract, I implore Lord Wu for advice! ”

"Hehehe," Wu Qing replied with a salute and said with a smile, "Zhang Zi came to challenge, and he will definitely fight in the future!" It's just..." while pretending to look around, while lowering his voice, "This is not the place to use, and please Zhang Zi to go down to the mansion for a drink, wait for the wine and food to be full, find a feng shui treasure in the next, and compete with Zhang Zi, how about it?" ”

Zhang Yi also laughed, hugged his fists and said: "Guests are as they please, listen to Wu Gongzi's orders!" ”

The two joined hands in the same car, came to Shaoliang's mansion, put on wine and food, and talked about what happened after saying goodbye.

Wu Qing recounted in detail how the battle of Hexi was tragic, how the Wei people in Hexi suffered, how he rose up, how the Duke of Qin judged right and wrong, and governed Hexi, and sighed at the end: "Alas, when I got to that step, I was a self-defeating way, just trying to die a happy death, but I didn't expect the king to amnesty below, not to mention the past, and also returned all the property and property in Xiatian, and became a lieutenant of Shaoliang in Xia, and then repeatedly promoted, thousands of subordinates were pardoned, and the people of Qin were treated." After a pause, he sighed again, "Alas, to be honest, I wanted to save face at the beginning of the next year, refused to be an official, and felt ashamed of the Wei family, but later I figured it out, we are subjects, no matter who is the master, the subjects will always be the subjects." Whoever keeps us alive should die for whomever we want. As for whose world it is, it has nothing to do with us. Besides, even a great talent like General Gongsun has also surrendered to Qin, so what reason do we have to save face? ”

"What Brother Wu said is extremely true!" Zhang Yi nodded in response, "I have always thought that the Qin people were brutal and regarded them as enemies. Here, there is another matter to ask Brother Wu. ”

"Brother Zhang, please speak."

"When was the next family property returned?"

Wu Qing thought for a while, and blurted out: "Brother Zhang asked, and he said it truthfully. That year, the Duke of Qin issued a special edict to amnesty Wei Min and return half of Wei Min's property. The official doctor who forcibly seized Brother Zhang's family property refused to return it on the grounds that there was no one in Brother Zhang's family. Two months ago, for some reason, the Duke of Qin hurriedly issued an edict to quickly return the other half of Brother Zhang's family wealth and repair the ancestral tomb and family temple. After inquiring below, he learned that the official doctor surnamed Cui resisted the law and overpowered, and played it to the king, who was furious and ordered to cut his title and behead him in the city according to the Qin law, and all his people were slaves. Don't hide it from Brother Zhang, what you do is just an edict. ”

Zhang Yi suddenly realized: "I see! ”

"What's the matter?" Wu Qing asked puzzled.

"Don't hide it from Brother Wu," Zhang Yi smiled slightly, and arched his hand, "When I come back this time, one is to go home and have a look, and the other is to meet Qin Gong." It's just... I have nothing to do with Qin Gongxiang, and I don't have a recommendation, I don't know if Brother Wu is willing to help with this? ”

"Absolutely." Wu Qing patted his chest, responded angrily, paused slightly, and lowered his voice, "Looking at this situation, the king is quite serious about Brother Zhang. With Brother Zhang's talent, if he sees Duke Qin, he will be of great use. ”

Zhang Yi gave his hand again: "Thank you!" ”

Zhang Yi stayed in Zhangyi for three days, and went to Xianyang with Wu Qing to enter the palace to meet him.

Huiwen heard that Zhang Yi was coming and announced that he was in his study. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Hui Wengong stepped out of the hospital door and descended to greet him.

Zhang Yi and Wu Qing knocked on the spot, but Hui Wengong didn't speak, helped one with one hand, smiled and took the hands of the two, walked up the steps, and walked into the living room.

Huiwen Gong sat on the main seat, and when he turned around, he saw Zhang Yi and Wu Qing making a gesture to worship, so he hurriedly waved his hand to stop, and pointed to the sides to accompany him: "Sit and sit, haven't you seen a ceremony outside the door?" ”

Zhang Yi and Wu Qing glanced at each other, and when they saw that Hui Wengong was so easy-going, they also laughed and sat down.

Huiwen Gong saw that the two of them were sitting still, looking at this for a while, looking at that for a while, and there was a moment, and he smiled and said: "The widow has heard about the competition between the two of you, how is it, have you decided the winner or loser?" ”

They both laughed.

Wu Qing arched his hand and said: "Back to the king, that was eight years ago, and the victory or defeat was decided early." ”

"Oh?" Huiwen Gongda was interested, "Which of you wins and who loses?" ”

Wu Qing smiled: "It was Zhang Zisheng, but the minister played slippery and barely made a draw, but he actually lost." ”

"But the widow heard," Hui Wengong glanced at the two, "the first game was a draw, the second game Zhang Zi won, and the third game was won by Aiqing, you two should be a draw, why does Aiqing admit defeat here?" ”

"The king doesn't know anything," Wu Qing laughed again, "Three competitions, two are the minister's questions, and the first opportunity is not to be discussed, and the third competition is to lift the stone, which is the minister has practiced for eight years, and the victory is not martial arts, it is to admit defeat." ”

"Oh?" Huiwen Gong pursued exhaustively, "Since this is the case, why didn't Aiqing admit defeat on the spot?" ”

"This," Wu Qing smiled embarrassedly, "Back then, the ministers didn't do anything better, and they didn't want to admit defeat." ”

Hui Wengong laughed and looked at Zhang Yi: "Zhang Zi didn't lose unjustly, people have practiced for eight years!" ”

"Hehehe," Zhang Yi smiled back, "If it's a grievance, it's Brother Wu who is wronged!" ”

"Oh?" Hui Wengong came to his senses and leaned over, "Zhang Zi tell me, how did Wu Qing get wronged?" ”

"In the first competition, Wu Qing used arrows, real kung fu, and Yi used a slingshot, a child's play, and the weapon was inferior. As for the second scene, the ceremony was a flower shelf, and the fly butt that was cut was prepared by the servant in advance! ”

Zhang Yi said this detail, don't say that it is Wu Qing, even Hui Wengong was shocked, for a long time, he burst into a long laugh: "Hahahaha..." He also gave Zhang Yi and Wu Qing a thumbs up, "Well, the two Aiqing have done nothing wrong, and they can't admit defeat when they are on the field!" As for cheating, sometimes it is necessary. Back then, the widow fought the crickets, and every battle must be won, in addition to the strength, the widow also fought the crooked intestines! ”

At this point, Hui Wengong seemed to recall the old things, and couldn't help laughing, laughing, and talked about how he cheated and played tricks and defeated the princes when he was competing in the palace. The speaker's eyebrows fluttered, and the listener's eyes were straight, and they could not believe that those things could have been done by the king of a country.

Most of the hours passed, and Hui Wengong was still immersed in the child's play of the year, as if he had forgotten that he was summoning Zhang Yi, and even completely ignored Zhang Yi's existence, because for a while, he didn't look at him, only focused on Wu Qing.

Zhang Yimeng.

During this meeting, he had already prepared several sets of response plans, including how to analyze the general trend of the world, how to deal with the combination of Su and Qin, how to strengthen the national strength of Qin, and so on. However, Hui Wengong was talking about child's play with great interest at this moment, which he did not expect. Fortunately, he has already cultivated strong concentration in Guigu, even if he plays the drum in his heart, he does not show the slightest expression on his face, his eyes are slightly closed from beginning to end, and he sits on the table with a smile and listens to the two laughing and talking about child's play.

Huiwen Gong was chatting energetically, and the ministers reported to the doctor and the prince to ask to see him.

Huiwen Gong said happily: "Oh, it's the doctor, announce his visit!" ”

Gongzi knocked on the scene, bowed three times, and sat down on the escort seat under Wu Qing.

"The doctor has come just in time, and the widow is about to introduce you to a virtuous person!" Huiwen Gong pointed at Zhang Yi, "This is Zhang Yi, a scholar from Hexi, Wu Qing's old acquaintance." The widow is talking to them about childhood plays, what a pleasure! ”

Gongzi pretended not to know, looked Zhang Yi up and down a few times, thought for a while, and scratched his scalp: "Dare to ask Zhang Zi, but from Handan, Zhao State?" ”

Zhang Yi arched his hand and said, "Exactly." ”

Gongzi looked at him again, and asked again: "Ask Zhang Zi again, have you ever been to Xiangguo's mansion?" ”

Zhang Yi knew that he was embarrassed to mention that day, his face was slightly red, and he nodded: "I've been there." ”

Gongzi Ji no longer hesitated, and then asked: "When you go back to Handan next time, is it Zhang Zi who has been with you all the way?" ”

Zhang Yi nodded again: "Exactly." ”

"Ouch!" Gongzi was surprised and delighted, and gave up his hand again and again, "We are really destined!" ”

"Oh?" Hui Wengong pretended to be puzzled, looked at Zhang Yi, and then looked at Gongzi's illness, "You two... ”

"Returning to the king," the prince said angrily, "the minister made Zhao this time, and saw Zhang Zi in the mansion of Su Xiangguo of Zhao State, and when he returned, he walked with Zhang Zi all the way, but..." ”

Hui Wengong pretended to be surprised and stared at Zhang Yi: "So, does Zhang Zi know Su Zi?" ”

The play performed by Hui Wengong and Gongzi Ji was obviously specially watched by Zhang Yi. Hui Wengong deliberately asked Su Qin so deliberately to expose Zhang Yi's scars.

Zhang Yi was bored and was about to prevaricate, but the son quickly relieved the siege and took over the conversation: "Back to the king, Zhang Zi and Su Xiangguo not only know each other, but they are also brothers!" ”

"Oh?" Hui Wengong looked more and more surprised, "Zhang Zi is actually the same door as Su Zi?" His eyes were staring at Zhang Yi, as if he couldn't believe it.

Zhang Yi couldn't avoid it, nodded stubbornly, and let out a sigh.

"Hehehehe," Hui Wengong laughed a few times, "It's funny, the widow and Suzi have also known each other." The year before last, he came to Xianyang and preached the emperor's policy on the street, wanting the widow to dominate the world, but the widow saw him arrogant and did not use him. I don't want this person to hold a grudge, so I went to Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei and other countries to make a conspirator or something, and I was against the widow. After saying that, he sighed, shook his head and laughed half-teasingly, "Alas, Guigu disciple, I can't afford to offend!" ”

Zhang Yi heard the sound outside the strings, his heart sank, and he was thinking to himself, when Gongzi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, Zhang Zi is very different from Su Zi!" ”

"Oh?" Huiwen Gong looked at Gongzi with interest, "Aiqing said, why is it different?" ”

Gongzi said angrily: "This time in Zhao, the minister has heard Su Zi's arguments many times, and I feel that although he is talkative, he can't help but exaggerate. Although Zhang Zi is not good at words, he can be truth-seeking and pragmatic in one sentence. The minister heard that the destruction of the Chu State was mostly Zhang Zi's strategy. ”

Although this statement is not true, because Zhang Yi didn't say much in the prime minister's mansion that day, Zhang Yi heard that Gongzi was trying to find a way to relieve him, although he didn't show it on his face, he was grateful in his heart.

"Well, what Aiqing said, the widow has also heard of it." Hui Wengong nodded, turned to Zhang Yi, and arched his hand, "Zhang Zi is in the middle of nowhere, and the widow has not been able to greet him, and if he is rude, I hope Zhang Zi will forgive me." ”

Zhang Yi replied: "Yi came in difficulty, the king did not give up, Yu Yi is already a great grace." The ancestral industry of Yijia Temple, the king does not abolish it, and it is specially maintained, and it is even more powerful, and Yiwan's death is not enough to report! ”

"Hehehe, Zhang Ziyan is serious!" Hui Wengong smiled, "I don't bother to mention this matter." Zhang Zi's family lives in Hexi, and he is a widow's people, and Zhang Zi's ancestral family temple is maintained by the widow. Speaking of which, Zhang Zi came back this time, and it can be regarded as going home. Zhang Zi is a great talent, and the widow is lucky, so he is greedy, and intends to ask Zhang Zi to accompany him, guide the widow sooner or later, and ask Zhang Zi not to quit! ”

Zhang Yi arched his hand: "Yi is not only for the Qin people, but also for the people, but the king is driven, and the Yi goes to the soup and fire, and he will not give up!" ”

"Good!" Huiwen Gong turned to the ministers, "Proposed decree, Zhang Yi, the son of Shaoliang of Hexi County, will be the right chief, and he will serve the widow." In addition, he gave Xianyang City a mansion, 30 servants, 300 taels of gold, and 50 brocade horses. ”

"Command!"

Zhang Yi obviously didn't expect the Huiwen Guild to be sealed on the spot, and he was stunned for a moment, before he got up and knocked: "Minister, thank you, your lord, Longen!" ”

"Aiqing is flat." Hui Wengong waved his hand to let him get up, "Zhang Aiqing has just arrived, and he has been tired all the way, but he can rest for a few days first, and the widow will ask for advice!" "Turned to Gongzi's illness again, "This decree will be sent to you, if Zhang Aiqing is not resting well, you are the only one who asks!" ”

Childe hurriedly arched his hand: "The minister's order!" ”

Zhang Yi still stayed in the small courtyard where Su Qin lived at the Yunlai Inn, and Wu Qing, the house of the Jiashe people, lived temporarily.

The next morning, Gongzi Ji came early and led Zhang Yi, Xiangnu and Wu Qing to inspect the mansion rewarded by Huiwen Gong.

Several cars and horses turned left and right, and stopped in front of a high-gate compound. Everyone got out of the car, and an internal official in charge of handing over the property was already waiting outside the house, greeting him.

A few people walked into the house under the guidance of the internal officials, but they saw the deep house, the garden and the rocks, the strange and strange grass, everything. Among them, it is more luxurious than the mansion of Zhaoyang Jun of Chu State, and Wu Qing's eyes are straight, even if it is a fragrant girl, she is also shocked, and her mouth is wide open, and she gasps.

Zhang Yi turned his head to look at Gongziji: "Doctor, don't you make a mistake, right?" ”

"Hehehe," Childe laughed, "It was chosen by the king himself, and it can't be wrong!" ”

"The king's personal election?" Zhang Yi became more and more surprised, "The king's reward, do you even have to appoint the house?" ”

"Yes, yes," Gongzi smiled again, "Your Excellency is like a big butler, everything is important, no matter how big or small, you must personally ask about it." By the way, Zhang Zi guessed what the origin of this mansion was? ”

"I'll have to consult a doctor."

"This house is the famous Du Mansion in Xianyang City. Dumen tired official VII, a hundred years of operation, there are many savings, after moving from Liyang, purchased this piece of land, built a large number of buildings, spent a huge amount of money to build Du Mansion into one of the few wealthy mansions in Xianyang City, its luxury far exceeds the Taifu Lord, Daliang built the mansion. Later, Du Zhi and a group of old parties were implicated in the case of Shang Jun, and the house was taken into the palace. In recent years, many people have coveted this house, including many relatives and sons, but the monarch has not allowed it. Zhang Zi is a latecomer! Childe said with emotion.

"In this way, I am flattered." Zhang Yi also laughed.

Several people inspected the mansion, and Gongzi ordered the palace officials to hand over the deed to the incense girl, and handed over the things given by the king one by one, and then got up with Wu Qing to say goodbye.

The palace officials gathered all the servants to see Zhang Yi and Xiangnu, and ordered them to send envoys.

In the afternoon, the palace sent an imperial plaque, which was written "Right Governor's Mansion".

The incense girl looked at the plaque for a while, and whispered: "Right Chief's Mansion? His brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Zhang Yi, "This name is weird, what kind of official is it?" ”

Zhang Yi smiled: "This is the official name of the Qin State. After the Qin State changed the law, the officials were divided into 20 levels, starting from the tenth level of the left chief to the eighteenth level of the eldest chief, which was equivalent to the Qing. The middle levels are, the eleventh level of the right chief, the twelfth level of the left watch, the thirteenth level of the middle watch, the fourteenth level of the right watch, the fifteenth level of Shao Liangzao, the sixteenth level of the Great Liang Zao, and the seventeenth level of the chariot chief, all of which are Qing positions. There are ten levels of scholars and doctors, and there are two levels of kings and marquises, and Hou is the public. ”

The fragrant girl was a little puzzled: "According to this, the husband's official rank is not big, how can he live in such a good mansion?" ”

"Madame doesn't know," Zhang Yi laughed again, "According to Qin Law, the official rank under is not small!" The Qin State is a unity of officials and lords, and the Qin law stipulates that only military merits are promoted, and no military merits are established, unless the king gives special gifts, they cannot be promoted, therefore, so far, many officials above the secretary are empty. When Gongsun Martingale first changed the law, he was only the left chief, and he was below the right chief. Later, because of the merit of changing the law, the king promoted him to Daliangzao according to his merits, ranking the sixteenth level. If it weren't for the achievements of Hexi and Shang Yu, Gongsun Ying would not have been named the king of Shang. When he first arrived, the size of the work was not built, and the Duke of Qin was sealed as the right long, which was already a great use. As for this house, maybe there's something else going on..."

The fragrant girl was about to ask him what was wrong, and the doorman reported that there was a guest asking to see him. Zhang Yi first arrived, and he had no acquaintances, so he couldn't help but wonder, and when he came out, he was from Jiashe.

Zhang Yi stepped forward and said, "Brother Jia..."

The Jasheren congratulated: "Ho, I haven't seen you for a few days, and Zhang Zi is actually developed!" ”

"What developed?" Zhang Yi said with a smile, "Things that are easy to get can go quickly." "Stepped forward to take the Jia Sheren, "Brother Jia, please!" ”

The two walked into the gate of the mansion and enjoyed the scenery of the courtyard, and the Jiashe people congratulated again: "Zhang Zi has this promotion, and he can show his strength." ”

Looking at the rows of houses and the scattered scenery, Zhang Yi sighed calmly: "Alas, if you talk about it, this pride is all due to Brother Jia!" ”

"Hehehe," Jasher laughed, "Zhang Zi said with a smile. These are all given by the Duke of Qin, how dare you take credit for it? ”

"It's sincere, Brother Jia doesn't have to be too humble." Zhang Yi sincerely thanked, "If there was no Brother Jia, I would not have gone to Handan, I would not have been humiliated, I would not have entered Qin in the west, and of course I would not have had this opportunity." At the mention of Handan, his teeth clenched, "Su Qin's erection is regarded as an old acquaintance, but he... Isn't this person dreaming of indulgence? I made up my mind to let him see what a dream is! ”

Jia Sheren slowly smiled, looked at Zhang Yi, and let out a long sigh: "Alas! ”

Zhang Yi stared at Jia Sheren: "Why is Brother Jia sighing? ”

"For Suzi."

"For him?" Zhang Yi was stunned, "Where do you start with this?" ”

"Zhang Zi can have today, if you want to thank one person, it should be Su Zi."

"I should thank him!" Zhang Yi sneered, not without resentment, "However, I won't thank you all at once, I will thank you slowly, thank you little by little, first break his alliance, and then force him to be cornered, life is better than death, and then find an opportunity to thank him in person!" ”

Hearing such vicious words, the Jasheren sighed again and shook his head.

Zhang Yi was stunned: "Brother Jia wouldn't mean that he shouldn't be treated like this, right?" ”

"How Zhang Zi treats Su Zi is Zhang Zi's business. However, if Zhang Zi is willing to listen, he can tell an old story below. ”

"Brother Jia, please speak."

Jia Sheren sat down on the grass and recounted the past, especially how Su Qin took great pains to force him into Qin, etc., from beginning to end, and heard Zhang Yi stunned for a long time, before waking up like a dream, taking a long breath and exhaling slowly: "I see!" ”

"Alas," Jasheren sighed lightly, "where does Suzi want to shame you?" Su Zi knew that you might be embarrassed in the Chu State, and he was anxious to invite you to Zhao. Su Zi also thought that you are committed to the road of unification in this life, and you will definitely not join forces with him and practice the co-governance of all countries, and today, only Qin can achieve unification, but Zhang Zi has a gap with Qin and will definitely refuse to enter Qin. Su Zi thought hard about it, and then he thought of insulting you in public and forcing you to enter Qin. On the day of humiliating Zhang Zi, he was in Suzi's mansion. After Zhang Zi left, Su Zi was distressed and sobbed, and that kind of sadness really made him feel sad. That night, Su Zi didn't sleep all night, he was in the Listening Rain Pavilion, and he recalled your old things from the beginning, bit by bit, all in his heart. It can be seen below that in this world, if Su Zi has only one confidant, it must be you Zhang Zi. ”

Zhang Yi changed from sitting to kneeling, buried her head on the ground, tears flowed down like rain, and she cried in a trembling voice: "Brother Su..."

Jia Sheren glanced at him and continued: "Before leaving, Su Zi repeatedly told Zhang Zi not to tell him. Seeing Zhang Zi hating Su Zi so much, he couldn't bear it in his heart, so he revealed the truth. Now that Zhang Zi is proud, he is about to return to the mountain after the end of his mundane affairs, and he is here to say goodbye to Zhang Zi. ”

"Return to the mountain?" Zhang Yi didn't understand at first, then was stunned, then startled, sat up suddenly, stared at Jia Sheren with his eyes wide open, "Where does Brother Jia want to return?" ”

"Jungnan Mountain."

"Didn't you just come back from Zhongnan Mountain?"

"That's a lie to you." Jia Sheren gave up his hand, not without apologies, "I'm sorry Zhang Zi." ”

After a period of shock, Zhang Yi closed his eyes and thought about it, and after a while, he opened his eyes and sighed: "Alas, I miss me Zhang Yi, since I came out of my mother's womb, I have always been a set of people, Su Qin, Sun Bin, Pang Juan, King Yue, King Chu... ”

"It doesn't matter who tricks whom," Jia Sheren smiled faintly, "Zhang Zi came out of the Ghost Valley, he should understand this." ”

Hearing this, she suddenly thought of Fang Cai's "end of secular affairs", Zhang Yi's heart was shocked, and she stared at the house: "Dare to ask Brother Jia, who is it?" ”

Jia Sheren said slowly: "Zhang Zi asked, but he didn't dare to hide it. Under is the disciple of Hanquanzi of Zhongnan Mountain, a few years ago, on the order of the family teacher, he went out of the mountain to find a great talent for Qin Gong. Now I have Zhang Zi, and the mundane affairs have ended, and it is time for Angelica Mountain to return to life. ”

"Zhongnan Mountain Cold Spring?" Zhang Yi muttered a repeat, as if trying to recall the name.

"Yes." Jia Sheren said solemnly, "The family teacher and Mr. Guigu are brothers in the same school, the same teacher is in the ancestor Guan Yinzi, and Zhang Zizun is in the lower teacher, and we are from the same school!" ”

After knowing the Sheren for a few months, Zhang Yi knew that he was the same door, so he couldn't help but be shocked again, sighed for a long time, and arched his hand: "Zhang Yi, a disciple of Mr. Yunmengshan Guigu, has seen Senior Brother Jia. ”

Jia Sheren also replied: "Jia Sheren, a disciple of Mr. Hanquan in Zhongnan Mountain, has seen Senior Brother Zhang. ”

All clouds of smoke dissipated in a matter of moments.

The two looked at each other and clapped their hands and laughed.

As soon as the Jia Sheren left on the front foot, Shao Liang ordered Wu Qing to also resign. Zhang Yi asked him to send a letter to Xiao Shun'er, asking him to settle Zhang Yi's affairs and come to Xianyang as soon as possible.

A few days later, the great Liang of Qin made Gongsun Yan to return to Wei, but before returning home, he directly entered the palace to report to Huiwen Gong that Su Qin had successfully merged with the Three Jins.

Hui Wengong seemed to have expected this ending, and asked lightly, "What is Suzi's next step?" ”

"Go to Qi country."

"Qi Guo?" Huiwen Gong frowned and stared at Gongsun Yan, "He should go to Chu State." ”

"After the Qi people enter the Zongzhong, he will go to the Chu State."

Hui Wengong gasped: "You mean, Su Qin wants to unite the six countries and only fight with the few people?" ”

Gongsun Yan nodded.

"Didn't he preach the Three Jin Dynasty, when did it change to the Six Kingdoms?"

"I changed it after I went to Wei. This is the weakness of the alliance, and it is from this that the ministers hit him, so that the monarchs and ministers of the Wei State are not allowed to indulge. I think Su Zi realized it, temporarily changed his position, and proposed that the six countries should indulge in relatives and jointly control and strengthen Qin. ”

"What co-system? He is destroying Qin and destroying widows! Huiwen Gong was furious and shouted.

"Your Majesty," Gongsun Yan whispered, "As far as the minister knows, Su Zi doesn't seem to have such intentions." ”

"That's not what he meant," Hui Wengong was still angry, and pressed his hand on the case, "What does he mean?" ”

Before leaving, the minister visited Suzi and talked with him. Su Zi said frankly that the purpose of Hezong is to establish a peaceful and prosperous era in which the princes are at peace, the countries coexist, and the world is governed together. According to Su Zi's assumption: the six countries have Qin to join forces, and the six countries can join forces without dispute; There is no dispute between the six countries, and the Central Plains can be safe; The Central Plains is stable, Qin does not dare to move, and there is no dispute in the world. There is no dispute in the world, and the princes can sit down calmly, seek common ground while reserving differences, seek the way of republic and co-governance, and return to the republican prosperity of the early Zhou and the second duke. ”

Hui Wengong said "pedantic" a few times, jumped up from the seat, paced back and forth in the hall a few times, suddenly stopped, and shouted: "Someone! ”

The minister hurried forward: "The minister is here!" ”

"Quickly summon Gongzi Ji, Sima Cuo, and Gan Mao into the palace to discuss matters!"

The ministers should say a word and were about to withdraw, but Huiwen Gong added: "Well, also, call the uncle and the right chief to come too!" ”

The minister withdrew.

Gongsun Yan was slightly stunned, and asked in a low voice: "May I ask you, who is the right chief?" ”

"Zhang Yi, Aiqing knows him."

"Zhang Yi?" Gongsun Yan was shocked, "Isn't he in the Chu State?" ”

"This Chenguang is in Xianyang." Hui Wengong should say a word, sat down with the chairman, closed his eyes slightly, and began to meditate.

Gongsun Yan didn't want to ask again, and he didn't dare to leave, so he straightened his clothes and slowly closed his eyes.

Within half an hour, Gongzi Ji, Sima Cuo, Gan Mao, and Zhang Yi rushed to arrive, but only the former Taifu Yingqian had inconvenient legs and feet, and was still on the way.

The minister instructed everyone to wait in the side hall, and went to the palace gate to welcome Yingqian, and then entered the palace and said: "Your Majesty, the old lady and all the adults have arrived, and they are waiting outside the door." ”

Hui Wengong's anger had eased, his face returned to calm, and he said lightly: "Let them in!" ”

The old lady took the lead, and all the mermaids rushed in and saluted separately.

Hui Wengong got up with a smile, picked up Yingqian, helped him to sit down beside him, and pointed to the other seats and said to everyone: "Sit down, sit down!" "Turn to the minister," "Tea!" ”

The ministers high-fived, and the palace maids turned out next to them, poured tea respectively, and bowed back.

"Uncle, all Aiqing," Huiwen Gong took the tea, took a sip, and said slowly, "Fangcai, Gongsun Aiqing has brought Wei back, saying that the Wei State has entered the family, and Su Qin has merged the Three Jin and Yan Kingdoms into one. Gongsun Aiqing also said that Su Qin still did not give up, and planned to go to Qi and Chu, hoping to make the six countries of Shandong indulge in relatives and jointly control the Qin State. Paused and took another sip.

Obviously, this is a super big change, except for Gongsun Yan, all the ministers were shocked and looked at each other.

Huiwen Gong glanced at the ministers, and his expression gradually became grim: "The three Jin Dynasty are combined, and there is no Qin anymore, let alone the Six Kingdoms?" Ladies and gentlemen, now that Great Qin has reached the autumn of life and death, the widow urgently summoned you to ask you to discuss a countermeasure. ”

For a long time, no one spoke, and the scene was as silent as death.

"Uncle," Hui Wengong turned to Ying Qian, "You are well-informed, do you have a clever plan?" ”

Since his dismissal, the Duke of Qin rarely consulted him on court affairs, and Ying Qian rarely paid attention to court affairs. Seeing the call at this time, and being the first to be asked, Ying Qian looked quite cramped, rubbed his hands together for a while, and only then did he squeeze out a word: "Fight!" ”

Everyone laughed.

Hui Wengong didn't smile, and looked at him seriously: "May I ask uncle, who are you beating?" Where? ”

"Beat Zhao people! Hit Jinyang! ”

Huiwen Gong lowered his head, fell into deep thought, and for a while, he looked up at the ministers: "A few months ago, the widow spread the word to attack Zhao, which was regarded as a false shot. Uncle's intention is to be real, what do you think? ”

"The minister agrees!" Sima mistakenly answered, "Zhao Ren is the first to advocate cooperation, and he should pay the price!" The minister is willing to lead the army, not to Jinyang, and vow not to return to the division! ”

Huiwen Gong glanced at Zhang Yi, and saw him sitting upright with his eyes closed, the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling, like a clay sculpture, he knew the end in his heart, but he didn't ask him, his eyes swept to Gongsun Yan, Gongzi Ji and Gan Mao: "Uncle Gong and Sima Aiqing all want to kill Zhao, do you have any objections?" ”

Gan Mao hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "The minister thinks that if it is to attack Zhao Jinyang, it is better to attack Han Yiyang." ”

Hui Wengong's heart moved, leaned over and asked, "Oh, you make it clear!" ”

"There are no mountains to rely on around Zhao Zhijinyang, there is no danger to defend, Zhao people are colonized with high walls and deep ditches, grain storage, and the defense is very strict, I have no chance to take advantage of it, and I can't attack it repeatedly. On the other hand, Yiyang is surrounded by high mountains and dangerous rivers, and the Koreans are naturally lax in their defense, so I have a chance to take advantage of it, and if it is a surprise attack, there may be a chance of victory. Besides..." Gan Mao deliberately paused and looked at Hui Wengong.

"Go on!" Hui Wengong stared at him.

"The place of Jinyang is barren and useless. In recent years, copper is not as good as iron, Yiyang is known as the iron capital, if I get it, I don't know how much money I can save! ”

"The minister agrees with what Zuo Geng said." Gongsun Yan continued, "Coming back from Daliang, the minister was thinking about this all the way. Although Hezong started from Zhao, Zhao is a hard bone, and it is not easy to gnaw it. Wei has Pang Juan, Hui Shi, Zhu Wei and others, and it is not appropriate to draw it at the moment. Among the three Jins, only South Korea has a chance. Shen Bu died early, and Han Hou was getting older and weaker. Several sons of the Han family are all mediocre, Su Qin is in harmony, and Han Hou responds positively, which is due to this. Wei and Han have always been at odds, if I cut down Yiyang, Wei may not move. Zhao people are far away from Yiyang, and they can't help. If I get Yiyang, I can use this to blackmail Han Hou and force Han Hou to retreat. As long as the Koreans retreat, Su Qin's conspiracy will be self-defeating. ”

"Well, Aiqing has seen another step further." Hui Wengong nodded approvingly, "Getting some broken iron is for the present, and breaking the combination is the long-term!" However, as Gan Aiqing said, although Yiyang is clear, it is surrounded by high mountains and dangerous rivers, and the Wei people occupy Shaanxi, Jiao, Quwo and other towns, I have no way to borrow, how to cut it down? ”

"Don't worry," Gongsun Yan seemed to be confident, "the minister has already pondered this matter. At the time of Wei, the minister visited the Hankun Valley, and learned from the local hunting account that the Hangu was more than ten miles east of the Guandong, tracing the water upstream, crossing the Mashou Mountain, and entering the Luoshui Valley. This time I came back, and the ministers went to inspect it, and it was indeed feasible. In addition, from the east side of Huashan to the south, the more Kuafu Mountain, Yanghua Mountain, etc., can also pass through the Luoshui Valley, attack Yiyang. ”

"What Da Liangzao said is good," Sima said wrongly, "Although Kuafu Mountain is far away, it can be walked." However, this is a dangerous road, and the Koreans have long been aware of it and have set up checkpoints. If they march from here, as long as the Koreans are a little guarded, they will fall into a desperate situation. ”

Hui Wengong's heart was shocked, and he turned to Gongsun Yan: "Has Gongsun Aiqing ever considered this?" ”

"Considered." Gongsun Yan nodded, "The use of soldiers is strange, tricky, and sudden." If the Koreans are prepared, there is only one explanation, that is, we are not well prepared and use troops unusually. ”

Hui Wengong closed his eyes and thought about it, and after a while, he raised his head again, his eyes swept to Zhang Yi, and saw that he was still sitting upright with his eyes closed, the only difference was that the corners of his mouth were no longer smiling, but with an obvious smile.

Hui Wengong clenched his fists slightly, leaned over and asked, "How is the right long-term intention?" ”

All the ministers set their eyes on Zhang Yi.

In the past few days, the news of Zhang Yi going to Qin and paying homage to the right chief has spread all over Xianyang like the wind, but because Zhang Yi has never been to the court, even Sima Cuo, Gongsun Yan, and Yingqian are seeing him for the first time, and their eyes are full of curiosity.

Zhang Yi opened his eyes and bowed his hand to Duke Huiwen: "Is the king asking about the expedition, or is he dealing with the conquest?" ”

Hui Wengong exclaimed: "Is there a difference between the two? ”

"Of course." Zhang Yi responded, "If you ask about the expedition, the minister has just arrived, and he doesn't know the situation, so he doesn't dare to say anything." ”

"In this way, Aiqing has a clever plan to deal with the merger?" Hui Wengong's face was overjoyed, and he leaned over and asked urgently.

Zhang Yi shook his head: "Miao Ce didn't." ”

"So... Aiqing has a solution?"

"I'm thinking about it."

Zhang Yi went around and around, which was equivalent to saying a bunch of nonsense. The ministers were disappointed, but they also thought it was funny, and they all laughed.

At this time, it is obviously not appropriate to laugh, Hui Wengong coughed, sat up straight, and glanced at the ministers: "Ladies and gentlemen, we will discuss here for the time being today, as for whether to attack Zhao or Han, after the widow has considered it, I will discuss it with you in detail." ”

All the ministers retired.

Zhang Yi was known for her kind words, but today she was silent at such a high-level meeting, which was surprising to everyone. After leaving the palace gate, almost no one paid attention to Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi ignored them and took their own cars back to their homes.

It was dusk that night, and a team of palace guards galloped in front of Zhang Yi's mansion.

When Zhang Yi heard the news, before he could greet him, Qin Gong had already walked in, and all the guards were also standing in the courtyard like spears.

Zhang Yi knocked.

Huiwen Gong helped him up, sat down with the monarch and ministers, and said with a smile: "Aiqing moved to a housewarming, the widow should have come to the door to burn the stove a long time ago, but there are always chores to do. This Chenguang was a little free, and the widow remembered this matter, and asked Neizai, saying that it was an auspicious day for the fire, and this came in a hurry. ”

The burning stove is also called the sacrifice to the god of the stove, which is the custom of Qin. Whenever you move to a new house, there are always relatives and friends who come to congratulate you, each bring food such as gizzard meat, salted fish, etc., try the stove in shabu, and put on a feast. Hexi was originally Qindi, and Zhang Yi grew up in Hexi, so he knew this custom, so he thanked him: "If you can have a king as a minister, you should be content." ”

"Hehehe," Hui Wengong said with a smile, "The Stove God can't afford to offend!" Then he turned to the ministers, "Offering meat." ”

The ministers waved their hands, and several people carried several food baskets, which were full of various foods such as gizzard meat and wine.

The minister asked Zhang Yi to inspect it, ordered the servants to carry it down, and then came to the kitchen with the incense girl and the palace kitchen to worship the god of the stove and prepare wine and food. In a moment, the imperial chef reheated the dishes that had been prepared, warmed the wine, and ordered the ministers to serve them, filling the hall.

Hui Wengong pointed to his stomach: "Since the widow came to burn the stove, he vacated it." I heard that Aiqing has a large number of people, and our monarchs and ministers are not drunk. ”

The ministers waved off their servants and poured the wine themselves.

After a few rounds of wine, Duke Huiwen seemed to be interested, and ordered to replace the Jue with a large bowl, drink several bowls in a row, push the bowl and say: "Aiqing is elegant, even drinking so much, it is like no one." It's a widow, a little dizzy. ”

Zhang Yi put the bowl and said: "The king is not dizzy, and the minister is not dizzy." ”

Hui Wengong blurted out: "Good words! After thinking about it for a while, he praised it more and more, and nodded again and again, "I heard people say that fine wine can awaken the mind, and when you drink it well, your heart is like a mirror." Aiqing said this, it seems that she has drunk well. ”

Zhang Yi said casually: "The king is sacred, the minister is indeed a good drinker." ”

"Hehehe," Hui Wengong laughed a few times, "Since Aiqing has drunk well, the things she worries about during the day should also be considered." ”

"Back to the king, the minister has already thought about it."

"Good! The widow also happened to drink well, and it was just a good thing to hear. ”

"The minister thinks of a mantra, maybe he can deal with it."

"What's the formula?"

Zhang Yi closed his eyes slightly, as if he was recognizing: "Lian Hengqiang Qin, righteous name and Tutuo, sound east and west, distant and close attack." ”

Hui Wengong pondered for a while, raised his head and asked: "This mantra is a bit difficult, the widow is stupid, I hope Aiqing will explain it in detail." ”

Zhang Yi opened his eyes: "Dare to ask where you don't know?" ”

"Aiqing's first sentence is the outline, and the last three sentences are the goal. Su Qin is vertical, and Aiqing should be horizontal, which should be a wonderful pair. Strong Qin is not only the foundation, but also the will of the widow. The last three sentences, logically speaking, the widow also understands, but the specific implementation, the widow has not yet figured it out, please Aiqing teach the widow. ”

"The king is too humble." Zhang Yi replied, "The minister thinks that the so-called correct name is to call the south lonely." Since the meeting of Mengjin, the situation has changed greatly, and the world has entered the era of kings. At present, the Shandong countries, Song and Zhongshan are not to mention, just talking about the six big countries, Wei, Chu, and Qi are already kings, and if Su and Qin are combined, they will be the kings of the six countries. The prime minister of the six kingdoms of Shandong, Qin is still a principality, and he will be inferior in terms of reputation, although he has morality, he has lost his momentum. ”

"Where's the topping? If the six nations are divided, the few may be able to take advantage of the chaos and encroach on something. If the six countries are formed vertically, they will affect the whole body, so how can the widows expand their land? ”

"If you can't eat it, you can swallow it."

"Whale swallowing?" Huiwen Gong opened his eyes, stared at Zhang Yi, and leaned forward slightly, "Where is the whale swallowed?" ”

"Ba, Shu."

Gong Huiwen took a breath and closed his eyes again.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Yi said slowly, "Fang is down today, and it is not the Three Jin Dynasty or the Yan Kingdom that can compete with the Emperor, but Qi and Chu. Qi is far away from the three Jins, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and it is not an urgent matter at the moment. Chu is different. Chu has won Wu and Yue, and the next step must be Tuba and Shu. Ba and Shu are not less than 2,000 miles in circumference, the products are abundant, the people are hundreds of thousands, the customs are simple, and they are not inferior to Wu and Yue. Ba and Shu are Chu on the water, Ba and Shu are Chu, and Chu is the world. Besides, if the king doesn't want to do this, it will be obtained by Chu. The state of Chu was originally vast, and Wu Yue had been obtained, if it was Ba and Shu again, the monarch would not say that it was out of the customs to compete for power, even if he wanted to be partial to Guanzhong, I am afraid that he would not be able to get it. ”

"Well," Hui Wengong nodded, "this should be the hit in Aiqing's mantra." What about Shengdong? ”

"Attack Korea."

"Attack Korea?" Hui Wengong was stunned at first, and then nodded again and again, "Well, Aiqing's clever plan!" There is also the last sentence, long-distance and close attack, can Aiqing have an explanation? ”

"Far away with the Yan State to control Qi, close attack three Jin to get real benefits. However, the minister thinks that this is a later story. The top priority at the moment is to attack the east and the west and seize Ba and Shu. ”

Hui Wengong stared at Zhang Yi and praised: "The four formulas given by Zhang Zi are strategic, practical, and very popular. Su Zi also mentioned the matter of correcting the name, and let the widow veto it. Zhang Zi mentioned it again today, and it can be seen that the hero sees the same thing. However, this matter is very big, and few people can consider it. Far away from Yan Kingdom, the widow had considered it. The eldest daughter of the widow is about to become an adult, and the widow intends to marry the prince of Yan and conclude a marriage after the ceremony. Recently, I heard that the prince of Yanguo was not right-hearted, and the widow was a little hesitant, and after Zhang Zi said this, this matter can be decided. As for Xituba and Shu, the widow has been in mind for a long time. Now that the opportunity has arrived, you can consider it. The inside story of Ba and Shu, Sima is wrong, we can listen to what he said. "Turn to the minister," summoned Sima Cuo, and asked him to come to the right governor's mansion quickly and have wine to eat. ”

The minister replied and hurried away.

Hui Wengong made a decision on the spot, and he was so decisive, he obviously had a plan for a long time, and his plan was completely consistent with what he wanted. Zhang Yi was very impressed, got up and knocked: "The king is really a virtuous gentleman, Zhang Yi is late to Qin!" ”

"Hehehe," Hui Wengong laughed a few times, got up and helped him up, "If you can get a virtuous minister, you will be a virtuous monarch." The poem says, 'Qingqing Zijin, you your heart'! Zhang Zizhicai, the widow has been favored for a long time, and today I will fulfill my wish, soon! Come on, come on, while Sima Aiqing hasn't arrived, let's have a few more bowls! ”

The two drank for a while, and Sima arrived in a hurry.

Hearing about Zheng Shu, Sima smiled with his eyebrows, rubbed his hands and smirked a few times: "The minister has been waiting for this day for a long time." Your Majesty, if you get Shu, you will get Chu, and if you get Chu, you will get the world! ”

"Sima Aiqing," Hui Wengong said with a smile, "You have these two sentences, the first sentence is equivalent to not saying it, and the latter sentence, Zhang Aiqing has already said it, you are Wen leftovers." ”

"Oh?" Sima was taken aback and turned to look at Zhang Yi, "In this way, the hero sees the same thing." ”

"This sentence has also been said by the monarch of Fang Cai." Zhang Yi continued.

"Okay, good," Sima Cuo was stunned again, "I won't say anything next!" He took a bowl of wine and drank it in one gulp, making everyone present laugh.

After Sima finished drinking, he took the wine jar and wanted to pour the wine again, Hui Wengong smiled and said: "Sima Aiqing, if you keep your mouth shut, we won't be able to hear the story." ”

"What's the story?"

"Ba, Shu! I heard that there is no such thing as a cave there, and we all want to hear about it! ”

Sima Cuo laughed: "Speaking of Ba and Shu, the ministers will not have leftovers!" ”

Everyone laughed, and while drinking, they listened carefully to Sima Cuo's account of the situation in Ba and Shu, especially the interests, contradictions, and conflicts between Ba, Shu, Tho, and Chu in recent years.

The three of them chatted until the sky was bright and the rooster crowed, Qin Gong was obviously tired, yawned, and said slowly: "The two Aiqing, right now, the chin and the internal dispute in Shu, are asking the widow for help, but it is a godsend. The conquest of Ba and Shu was decided in this way. As for how to conquer, the two Aiqing will discuss and come up with a foolproof plan to report to the widow. This matter must be kept secret, and no rumors should be leaked. Later, we will only discuss the conquest of Yiyang. ”

The two of them knocked together: "The minister's order!" ”

On the same day, Huiwen Gong really discussed with the court of ministers to attack Han, and the court decided, Feng Gong Sun Yan was the main general, Gan Mao was the deputy general, and 100,000 troops were raised to conquer Yiyang. Because Yiyang is a mountainous area, Duke Huiwen ordered the three armies to practice mountain warfare at the same time, and at the same time asked Gongsun Yan to draft another article on the Han Dynasty and spread it to the countries.

Huiwen Gong's decision puzzled Gongsun Yan. Attacking Han Yiyang, the emphasis is on the surprise soldiers descending from the sky, and the war must be undeclared. Hui Wengong's request to spread the word to the nations is tantamount to publicly announcing that he will not cut down. Besides, using Gan Mao as a lieutenant also puzzled him. Although Gan Mao was well known about Yiyang because of the pig iron trade, this in no way constituted a reason for him to become a lieutenant. Gan Mao has always been in charge of the treasury, and he is not familiar with the three armies, how can he be a deputy general? The conquest of Yiyang must not leave Sima Cuo!

However, the king's edict did not dare to disobey. Gongsun Yan returned to the mansion sullenly, and thought hard for a day behind closed doors, but he still couldn't understand the true meaning of Qin Gong.

The next morning, Gan Mao asked to see him.

Gan Mao and the treasury, baggage for several years of dealing, is self-aggrieved when the deputy general, can be said to be complacent, the heart is full of joy, after the order did not sleep all night, all night to drive out a strategy to kill Han, get up in the morning, that is, to the main general Gongsun Yanyu.

Gongsun Yan was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak lightly, especially not to Gan Mao. If Gan Mao learns that the king does not destroy Han, he will be disheartened, which will shake the morale of the army and have the intention of going up. After thinking about it for a while, Gongsun Yan made up his mind, quietly reviewed his plan carefully, put forward several suggestions for revision, and reported to Huiwen Gong together with the text he had prepared last night.

Huiwen Gongguo was hastily read without detailed examination, and immediately ordered the transmission to the nations, prepare for baggage, and step up military training.

Gongsun Yan's heart was like a mirror, and he didn't have time to think about it after returning home, so he handed it over to Gan Mao to execute.
