Chapter 171: A Life of Lying Down to Win (Chapter 2)

The Battle of the Roots has begun!

The alliance of the five countries attacked under the city, but they were sniped by Lü Buwei, Chang Yu and others, and they could not overcome it for a long time, and they were alone in the depths, and there was no food and grass. Next, the Qin army held on to the city and waited for winter to come, and the grain and grass were completely cut off, which was the moment when the Five Nations Alliance was completely destroyed.

The Chu army was the first to retreat.

Wei Jun, Zhao Jun and others evacuated one after another.

The Qin army pursued and killed, killing 100,000 people, and the coalition army fled in disarray.

In the Battle of Yu, the Qin State was victorious.

The last joint attack on Qin failed!

This battle was neither thrilling nor moving, it was fought very dullly, and the victory was taken for granted.

This battle, commanded by Lü Buwei, who had two swords at the military level, was still a victory.

"It's boring!"

Liu Xiu suddenly felt bored. Whether it is the destruction of King Wu or the destruction of the Jin Kingdom, in fact, it is to break the strong with the weak, and the war is very thrilling, very frightening, frightening, and dangerous everywhere, and if you are not careful, the overall situation will collapse.

But Qin Shi Huang swept away the Six Kingdoms, there was no thrill, and he often relied on the strong to bully the weak, to fight more and less, and to break the weak with the strong. As long as you follow the steps step by step, as long as you don't make big mistakes, whoever becomes the king of Qin can dominate the world.

He is Qin Shi Huang, but in essence, he is very similar to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong, etc., all of whom have a good father, a good grandfather, and a good great-grandfather, who laid a solid foundation for the country and was extremely firm. As long as you sit back and enjoy the success, you can sit firmly in the country.

In later generations, Zhao Gou had bad luck, a ruined father, a rash grandfather, and the Song Dynasty's family was ruined, and when Zhao Gou was the emperor, he accepted a company that was on the verge of bankruptcy;

As for Emperor Chongzhen's bad luck, the company he received was in a credit crisis, insolvent, and his employees had different thoughts, tired and tired, and it was also the fate of bankruptcy and bankruptcy.

Before Qin Shi Huang, King Zhaoxiang of Qin reigned for 56 years, first the Five Kingdoms invaded Qi, crippled the Qi State, and halved the population; It was Bai Qi who attacked the state of Chu again, captured the state of Chu Jiangying, lost the eastern land, and lost the most elite area. It was the Battle of Changping again, and Zhao lost 400,000 in the battle.

The State of Qi, the State of Zhao, the State of Chu, etc., the three great enemies, were successively crippled by the State of Qin.

Up to now, Qin's household registration is 2.5 million. If one household draws one ding, it can form at least 2.5 million troops. If it is removed, the army that guards the local city, and the army that transports food, can mobilize about a million troops.

The granary of the front line is enough to support an army of 600,000 for three years of conquest.

The number of households in the Qin State was 2.5 million, and the total number of households in the other six countries was only 3 million. As for the male population, it is far inferior to that of Qin. If it really fights, the six countries joining forces are not the opponents of Qin, and the six countries have different minds and calculations. As long as the Qin State hits one, pulls one, and easily breaks each one.

With such a rich family foundation, it is almost the rhythm of lying down to win.

"If the emperor of the Song Dynasty had a family like me, Genghis Khan would have been killed, and Kublai Khan would have to kneel; Chongzhen has a family like mine, and all ten Nurhachi have been destroyed! Liu Xiu sighed: "However, if you want to be pro-government, you have to do it until Lu Buwei, and you have to marry the princess of Chu State!" ”

If the new emperor wants to take power, he must kill the ministers, and although the ministers are loyal, they must also be killed.

…………

In the middle of the palace, it was dark, and a woman sat upright, her expression mournful.

"Meet Grandmother!" Liu Xiu stepped forward and said respectfully, wearing a Chu suit, speaking in Chu language, and his words were full of respect. He was able to become the crown prince and then become the king of Qin, and this grandmother contributed a lot.

The former Mrs. Huayang became the queen of Huayang, and then became the queen mother of Huayang.

"It turned out to be Zheng'er...... More and more like King Zhao! The Empress Dowager Huayang said, her eyes full of memories.

"Grandmother, Zheng'er is already twenty years old, and she will soon be crowned and marry her own son!" Liu Xiu said: "I heard that the princess of Chu State, virtuous and virtuous, can be the queen, listen to the grandmother's introduction!" ”

The Empress Dowager Huayang showed joy and said: "Zheng'er has this heart, and the old woman is relieved!" ”

Liu Xiu said: "As long as the old grandmother is in one day, Zheng'er will never cut Chu!" ”

The Empress Dowager Huayang is alive and will not attack Chu, but after death, she will attack Chu.

Empress Dowager Huayang said: "Qin Chu was originally an ally, and they have been married to each other for a hundred years. At the beginning, King Wu broke the state of Chu, and the society of Chu was in danger, and it was Shen Bao's son-in-law crying temple that saved Chu. Qin Chu has been married for ten or twenty generations, and you are the twenty-first generation! ”

Liu Xiu stepped forward and said: "In the future, the heir born to the widow and the princess of Chu will be the king of Qin!" ”

After a while, the Empress Dowager Huayang took out portraits one after another, all of which were portraits of the princesses of Chu State, and it seemed that she had prepared them early.

"This is Princess Rou!"

"This is Princess Qi!"

It's about seven or eight portraits.

Liu Xiu was speechless, it seems that the Empress Dowager Huayang has been prepared.

That's right, too!

At the beginning, Lü Buwei and the Empress Dowager Huayang joined forces to fight against the Qin princes; But now, as Lu Buwei's power has become bigger, Zhao Ji's power has become bigger, and Chu's relatives are having a hard time. Among the forces of the court, Zhao Ji, Lü Buwei, Chang Yu, etc., represented by the forces of the Zhao family's relatives, have overwhelmed the forces of the Chu family's relatives!

In the case of the Qin State, the marriage of the King of Qin was mostly decided by the Queen Mother. The queen chosen by the queen mother for the prince is often the mother of her own country of origin.

Zhao Ji is the queen mother, and a princess of Zhao will be selected as the queen for him.

But Zhao is a relative, and his power is already very large, if there is another queen who is the princess of Zhao.

That is bound to break the balance and let Zhao's relatives continue to grow, which is a great disadvantage.

Therefore, choosing the princess of Chu as the queen, giving Chu relatives more weight, can suppress the strength of Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei.

"Princess Jou!"

Liu Xiu said casually, pointing to a certain portrait casually.

Farewell to Mrs. Huayang, just after leaving for a while, I met Zhao Ji. Zhao Ji said: "Chu Nu is rude, not a good match!" Zhao Nu is gentle and virtuous, and she should be a good match! ”

Speaking, he said good things about Zhao Nu.

Liu Xiu was silent, and finally just said: "What my grandmother said, where filial piety goes, I have to do it!" ”

Zhao Ji was also helpless.

The son is older and disobedient. The power of relatives comes from the king of Qin, if the relatives fall out with the king of Qin, it is the relatives who suffer.

After retreating, Zhao Ji suggested that a princess of Zhao become one of the three ladies.

In the Zhou system, the king has a queen, three wives, nine concubines, twenty-seven wives, and eighty-one female queens. Madame, whose status is inferior to that of the queen, is not without contention. Back then, the Empress Dowager Xuan, the Empress Dowager Huayang, etc., were not upgraded from Mrs. to Queen, and the battle was not over, but just begun!

Liu Xiu smiled in her heart, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were not in harmony, and the confrontation between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law began again.

If it is a mortal family, it is naturally a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law; But in the dynasty, it is the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who have to confront each other, so that King Qin has a sense of security.

At the beginning, Mrs. Huayang once wanted to let Zi Chu establish a princess of Chu as the queen, but King Qin Zhaoxiang refused and strongly supported Zhao Ji's mother and son. In order to contain Mrs. Huayang, lest the Chu relatives be dominant, and the sons and grandsons will be set aside.

As a result, the confrontation between the Zhao relatives and the Chu relatives was formed.
