c_t; Zhang Jiashi was quite satisfied when he heard Ying Xun's suggestion to let Cao Shen replace Yang Wengzi, a veteran, as the new lieutenant of the Great Qin Empire. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoοΌ
Although Zhang Jiashi's favorite candidate is not Cao Shen, but Xiao He's eldest son, Xiao Lu, who is currently holding the post of internal history, is serving as the national lieutenant.
Xiao Lu and Zhang Jiashi know a different history, in this world did not die early, but because of Zhang Jiashi's intervention, he became a member of the new generation of officials of the Great Qin Empire, and the civil representative.
Director Xiao He and Xiao Lu, who studied under Li Zuoche, made Zhang Jiashi feel quite satisfied in many aspects.
Zhang Jiashi used to use the idea of marrying Yingxuan to Xiao Lu as his wife if it weren't for the fact that Xiao Lu and Huan Feng's young daughter had a marriage contract and had already gotten married.
It is conceivable how much Zhang Jiashi attaches importance to Xiao Lu.
Although Xiao Lu's age is not too big, even only around thirty years old, he is a young-level official, Zhang Jiashi also hopes that Xiao Lu can take a higher-level position and give full play to his ability.
As for letting Xiao Lu serve as a national lieutenant, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support Zhang Jiashi in such a situation, but it is undeniable that Xiao Lu is the best candidate to succeed Yang Wengzi as a national lieutenant in Zhang Jiashi's heart.
And Ying Xun put forward the idea of letting Cao Shen serve as a national lieutenant, which is not unfeasible, and Zhang Jiashi also believes that Cao Shen is also a suitable candidate for this position.
It's just that after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Jiashi put forward two shortcomings of Cao Shen to Yingxun.
"Your Majesty, Cao Shaofu holds the position of national lieutenant, whether it is talent, qualifications, or character, it belongs to the best choice. However, the reason for the resignation of Tu Guowei and Yang Guowei happened to be a major defect of Cao Shaofu as a national lieutenant, and besides, Cao Shaofu's health was not good, if he was transferred from the post of Shaofu, I am afraid it would be ......."
Zhang Jiashi shook his head and did not continue.
And Ying Xun frowned slightly after hearing Zhang Jiashi's words, because he didn't think of these two aspects.
After shaking his head slightly, Ying Xun said to Zhang Jiashi: "Father is right, Cao Shaofu is indeed older, and his physical condition is not very good, if he is a national lieutenant, I am afraid that in a year or two, Cao Shaofu will have to submit his resignation to me." I don't know who my father hopes to be able to serve as a lieutenant?"
Because Zhang Jiashi served as a lieutenant, the position of national lieutenant naturally became Zhang Jiashi's adjutant status. After Zhang Jiashi relieved the burden of regent, Ying Xun did not change his words, but continued to call Zhang Jiashi his father, while Ying Yuexi and Ying Yuelian were called their mothers.
Zhang Jiashi did not fail to try to correct the idea of Yingxun's title in this regard, and put it into action. But Ying Xun has always ignored Zhang Jiashi's correction, intentionally or unintentionally, and after a long time, Zhang Jiashi can only let his eldest son mess around.
Of course, in the hearts of many people, including Ying Xun herself, they don't think there is anything strange about this title.
After hearing Ying Xun's inquiry, Zhang Jiashi proposed two candidates, one is Xiao Lu, and the other is Han Xin, a famous general of the Great Qin Empire.
The reason why Zhang Jiashi proposed that Han Xin serve as the national lieutenant is mainly to protect Han Xin, after all, Han Xin has been a general of the Great Qin Empire for a period of time, and he has made great contributions in the previous war against the Xiongnu. After all, the Great Qin Empire has experienced many generals since the death of the general Meng Tian, and during the period when Zhang Jiashi was in charge of the government, Li Xin, Huan Feng, Su Jiao, Yujian and Han Xin became the candidates for the generals, and there was basically no big gap in time.
Therefore, if Han Xin is allowed to continue to serve as a general, I am afraid it will not be a good thing for him. After all, the position of general is in charge of the actual military power, if someone slanders Ying Xun on the grounds that Han Xingong is high, I am afraid that his father will also have some changes because of the whip. [A lot of good novels]
Such a result is not something that Zhang Jiashi can see. Because Zhang Jiashi didn't want Han Xin to suffer a brutal death like history.
......
To be honest, Zhang Jiashi thinks that in the history he knows, Han Xin's death is more of a wrong. Because Han Shin did not rebel when he could get the greatest benefit, but instead rebelled when his power had been weakened, what is the point of such an approach?
If it weren't for Han Xin's support, I am afraid that the chaotic times at the end of Qin would have probably evolved into the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", with the three heroes of Han, Qi and Chu standing side by side instead of Xiang Yu's defeat and death, and the Han Empire was finally established.
It is no wonder that according to many records of wild history, before Han Xin was killed, he would look up to the sky and sigh: "I regret not listening to Kuaiche's words." β
Because of this, after Zhang Jiashi found Kuaiche, who lived in seclusion in his hometown, he asked him to come to the mansion of Shuangyueyi, hoping that he could take the position of the governor of the palace.
After all, as a strategist who is actually not inferior to Li Zuoche, Zhang Jiashi still attaches great importance to him.
After all, Kuaiche can be regarded as a genius of the ghost scheming in the troubled times at the end of the Qin Dynasty.
In history, the first time Kuaiche appeared on the stage of history was in August of the first year of Qin II, when Chen Sheng ordered Wuxinjun Wuchen to go north to sweep the land of Zhao.
Kuaiche lobbied Xu Gong, the commander of Fanyang County, and said: "I am a citizen of Fanyang, named Kuaiche, and I pity you in private and you are about to die, so I express my condolences." Nonetheless, I would like to congratulate you on your way to life by having my Kuicher. Xu Gong thanked him again and again and asked, "Why do you express your condolences?" Kui Che said: "You have been a county magistrate for more than ten years, killing people's fathers, making people's sons orphans, cutting off people's feet, and inflicting torture on people, and there are too many victims. The reason why loving fathers and filial sons dare not stick knives into your abdomen is because they are afraid of the laws of the Qin Dynasty. Now that the world is in turmoil and the decrees of the Qin Dynasty are not enforced, those loving fathers and filial sons will rush to stab you in the stomach with bayonets to avenge your hatred and achieve fame, which is the reason for my condolences. β
Xu Gong asked again, "Why do you congratulate me on getting my husband?" and Kui Che replied, "Wu Xinjun of Zhao State does not know that I am incompetent, and has sent someone to inquire about his good fortune, and I am now going to meet him and persuade him, and say to him: 'You must defeat the enemy before you can take the territory, and conquer the city before you occupy it, I feel very dangerous in private.'" If I adopt my strategy, I will take possession of the land without a fight, and occupy the city without attacking, and I will be able to pacify the thousands of miles by teleporting the text?, he will ask, 'What is your strategy?' and I took the opportunity to reply, 'The commander of Fanyang County should have reorganized his army, defended the city, and resisted, but because of cowardice, fear of death, greed, and love of wealth and nobility, he wanted to surrender the city to you first. If you surrender to you first and you don't give him favors, then the border cities will tell each other: "Fanyang County ordered to surrender first and be killed." "It will definitely hold on to the city, and like ********, it will be difficult to attack. For you, it is better to greet the Fanyang County Commander with a car with a yellow cover and a Zhulun, and let him gallop and show off at the border of Yan and Zhao, then the border cities will all tell each other: "Fanyang County Commander surrenders first and gains wealth." "There will be a race to surrender, as easily as a mud pellet rolling down a hillside. Edification is what I call the strategy of teleporting the text to calm a thousand miles. Xu Gong thanked him again and again, and prepared to send Kuaiche on carriage and horses.
Kui Che used these words to persuade the military ministers. Wuchen used 100 chariots and 200 cavalry to greet Duke Xu with Hou Yin. When Yan and Zhao heard about this, more than thirty cities surrendered, just as Kui Che's strategy had anticipated.
This scene can see Kuaiche's entanglement with Wuchen and Duke Xu, which saved his life, and at the same time let many people know his talent.
But Kuaicher's strategy is also quite vicious, because Li Shiqi was indirectly killed by Kuaiche and Han Xin, who was persuaded by Kuaiche. And this strategy also indirectly created the ending branch that may appear in the troubled times at the end of the Qin Dynasty.
In the fourth year of the Han Dynasty (203 BC), the Han general Han Xin captured Wei Wangbao, defeated Zhao and Dai, subjugated the Yan State, pacified the Three Kingdoms one after another, and then led his troops to the east to attack the Qi State. The army had not yet passed Pingyuan County, and when he heard that Liu Bang, the king of Han, had sent Li Shiqi to persuade Qi to surrender, Han Xin wanted to stop the march.
Kui Che lobbied Han Xin and said: "General, you were ordered by the King of Han to attack the State of Qi, and the King of Han sent another envoy who was also a secret agent to persuade the State of Qi to surrender alone, is there an edict ordering you to stop the attack? Why don't you march into the army? Moreover, Mr. Li, as a scholar, went by car, and persuaded the State of Qi to surrender more than 70 cities with a three-inch tongue, and you led tens of thousands of soldiers to capture more than 50 cities of the State of Zhao. has been a general for several years, but it is not as great as the credit of a mere Confucian student. β
So Han Xin thought that what he said made sense, took his advice, and finally crossed the Yellow River. The king of Qi had listened to Li Shiqi's persuasion, so he left him behind, drank and had fun together, and removed the defense against Han. Han Xin thus attacked the Qi army under the past, so he came to Linmiao City. The king of Qi thought that Li Shiqi had deceived him, so he boiled him to death in boiling water. After his defeat in the battle with Han Xin, Tian Heng's troops were defeated and fled, and Han Xin finally pacified the Qi state and established himself as the acting king of the Qi state.
At that time, Han Gong was under siege in Rongyang, so he sent Zhang Liang to Linzi and made Han Xin the official king of Qi, so as to appease him and make him firmly on the side of the king of Han. Xiang Yu also sent Wu Shi to persuade Han Xin, wanting to unite with him.
Then, because of Kuicher's advice, the direction of history was almost not completely changed:
Knowing that the changes in the situation in the world depended on Han Xin, and wanted to persuade Han Xin to betray the Han Dynasty, he first hinted at Han Xin in a hidden word: "I once learned physiognomy, and when I observed your face, at most I was made a marquis, and I was always in danger, and looking at your back shape, it was very noble and difficult to say." β
Han Xin asked, "What do you mean by what you say?"
He then begged the others to go away, and then said: "When the world has just risen up to make trouble, the heroes and heroes set themselves up as princes and kings, and when they raise their arms, the people of the world meet like clouds, accumulate like fish scales, and rise up as quickly as a wind. Often, people were only worried about the overthrow of the Qin Dynasty. Now Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are fighting each other, so that people are defeated and displaced, and there are countless people. The Chu people raised troops in Pengcheng, tossed and turned, invincible, marched to Rongyang, took advantage of the victory, and shocked the world, but they were blocked between Beijing and Suo, and they could not advance near Xishan, and it has been three years now. The spirit was frustrated at the precipitous pass, the treasury ran out of food, and the people were miserable, and they did not know to whom they should return. In my opinion, unless there are sages in the world. Otherwise, it will not be possible to eliminate the calamities of the world. Now the fate of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu is in your hands. If you help the king of Han, the king of Han will win, and if you unite with the king of Chu, the king of Chu will succeed. I am willing to express my foolish sincerity to you from the bottom of my heart, lest you will not take my advice. Now for your sake, it is better to let both of them get benefits, coexist together, divide the world, stand on their feet, and no one will dare to make trouble first. With your virtuous and sage, and a large number of armies wearing chain mail, occupy the powerful state of Qi, unite the two countries of Yan and Zhao, send troops to the empty land to control their rear, conform to the will of the people, stop the struggle between Chu and Han in the west, and save the soldiers from death, who dares not to obey the people of the world! You have the land between Huai and Si according to the territory of the original Qi country, appease the princes with kindness, surrender your hands to live in peace, and give courtesy to the wise men, then the princes of the world will compete to worship the Qi country. I have heard that 'if you do not accept it, you will be condemned, and if you do not act when the time comes, you will receive calamity, and I hope you will think about it.' β
Han Xin said: "The king of Han treats me well, how can I see profit and righteousness, and betrayal of virtue?"
Kuaiche said: "At the beginning, Zhang Er, the king of Changshan, and Chen Yu of Cheng Anjun formed a friendship of life and death, and when they quarreled over Zhang Yu and Chen Shi, the king of Changshan hugged his head and ran away, attached to the king of Han, borrowed troops to tie up, fought in northern Shanxi, and Cheng Anjun died on the south bank of the water, and his body was separated. When the two of them got acquainted, they were intimate, and no one in the world could compare with them, but in the end, they killed each other and perished, why is this? Now that you are faithfully befriending the King of Han, you will not be closer than those two, and the things you are arguing about are often more important than those of Zhang Yu and Chen Shi. Therefore, I think you are wrong to firmly believe that the Han King will not harm you. As the saying goes, 'When the wild birds are caught, the hounds are cooked, and when the enemy kingdom is destroyed, the advisors die.'" Therefore, in terms of making friends, no one can surpass Zhang Er and Chen Yu, and in terms of loyal ministers, no one can compare with the doctor's literary style. These two examples should be used as a reference, and I hope you will think about it, and I have heard that those who are feared by the monarch with courage and cunning will not be able to save their lives, and those whose deeds are superior to those who are not rewarded will be rewarded. You crossed the West River, captured the King of Wei, captured Xia Shuo alive, captured Jingcheng, crusaded against the sins of Cheng Anjun and killed him, and were able to give orders in the country of Zhou, threaten the State of Yan, pacify the State of Qi, thwart the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the State of Chu to the south, and finally kill Long And, and send people to the west to report to the King of Han. Now you are hard to reward for your high achievements, and your majesty makes Junfeng jealous and attaches to the Chu State, and the Chu people do not trust you; To whom do you want to take these deeds and prestige with you? I am really worried about you in the position of a vassal and a prestige above the world. β
Han Xin said: "Sir, go and rest for the time being, I want to think about it." β
A few days later, Kui Che persuaded again: "Whether or not you can listen to advice is a sign of success or failure in doing things, and whether you plan properly is the key to survival or failure." If you are engaged in servitude, you will lose the authority of the Ten Thousand Ministers, and if you are a conservative and lowly servant, you will lose the opportunity to become a minister and a prime minister. Xin Bao clearly knows this truth, and he dares to make a decision and put it into action, which will become a disaster for all things. Therefore, if the tiger hesitates, it is better for the bee or scorpion to sting the person with its stinger, and if Meng Ben hesitates, it is better for the child to do it resolutely. This means that it is important to be able to take action. It is difficult to achieve a deed but it is easy to fail, and an opportunity is difficult to encounter but easy to lose.' The timing, the timing, will not come a second time. I hope you don't doubt my plan. β
Han Xin hesitated, could not bear to betray the king of Han, and thought that the king of Han would not recapture the kingdom of Qi under his rule, so he politely declined Kui Che's suggestion. Croucher was not credited because of his lobbying, and was so frightened that he pretended to be crazy and became a wizard.
It can be said that if Han Xin had listened to Kuaiche's words, Han Xin might really have become one of the monarchs in the world.
After all, at that time, Han Xin's strength controlled most of Hebei and the homeland of Qi, although the national strength was quite weak because of years of war, but the stalemate between Chu and Han was completely able to get enough buffer development time for Qi State, if Han Xin could grasp the fatigue shown by the long-term stalemate between Chu and Han, it was even possible to eliminate Chu and Han one by one within a few years, and officially set the world.
In some ways, after thinking that Kuaicher might change the trend of history, Zhang Jiashi naturally hoped that he could control such a talent.
Therefore, he asked Gayne's intelligence team to go to Kuicher's hometown to find his traces.
According to a saying that circulated at the time, that is, Chen Ping once said to his son Chen Mai: "This kind of desperate strategy is definitely not from the hands of the king, it is very likely that this is Kui Che's plan." I have to say that the king surprised me quite a lot this time. But that's fine, because it also shows that whatever the king wants to do, he can get more good. β
It's just that such a statement has not been confirmed by anything. And in the hearts of Yin Zhi and others, they all have certain doubts about the existence of Kuaiche, a person who is quite mysterious until his death. Because Kuicher's existence in this world is not seen in the history books......
