Chapter 191, Zhang Liang enters Chu (asking for a monthly ticket)
Looking at Zhang Liang's flustered appearance, Chu Nangong said
"Young people don't panic, you can see the future if you don't mess up, you listen to me slowly."
Zhang Liang also realized his gaffe, adjusted his mood and calmed down again
"Old man, speak slowly."
"Han Wang'an surrendered, the Qin army did not kill him, and at the same time spared the remaining ministers and clans of Korea, as for the Korean prime minister you mentioned, it is said that he defended the city with the fourth prince Han Yu when the Qin army attacked the city, and as a result, the Xinzheng city wall collapsed, was buried under the rubble, and was buried by the rocks and died."
After hearing the martyrdom of defending the city with open land, Zhang Liang's shoulders trembled slightly, and a stream of hot tears flowed from Zhang Liang's eyes, Zhang Liang knelt down in the direction of South Korea and shouted hoarsely
"Grandfather!"
Zhang Liang's appearance attracted the curiosity of the Zhang clan, and after hearing that Korea was destroyed and martyred, these Zhang clansmen knelt down in the direction of Korea and cried loudly, and for a while the crying alarm alarmed the birds in the forest.
Chu Nangong looked at Zhang Liang crying, and immediately his face changed greatly and reprimanded
"If you still think you are a man, you will repay your grievances and take revenge according to what Confucius said, instead of crying here!"
Chu Nangong's reprimand made Zhang Liang stop crying, Zhang Liang looked at Chu Nangong, although his heart was full of sadness, but he still realized that the identity of the old man in front of him was not ordinary, and immediately asked
"Who the hell are you?"
The surrounding Zhang clan people also looked over, and they no longer howled and cried, and looked at Chu Nangong vigilantly one by one, only a few people were still sobbing in a low voice.
"The old man's name is Chu Nangong, and he is quite famous in the south." Chu Nangong said.
"What!? Chu Nangong, the first sage of Chu State, you are Nangong, and my grandfather once told me that he had a relationship with you before his death. Zhang Liang said in surprise.
The surrounding Zhang clan people were also stunned, they didn't expect that they would meet the legendary sage in the wilderness, and at the same time thought in their hearts, if you are famous, then who in the world dares to say that you are famous? The name of Duke Chu Nan is constantly circulating among the Seven Kingdoms, but it is not a little famous, if he goes somewhere and is spread out, but even the king of a country will come to visit in person.
"I have a relationship with my grandfather, and this chance encounter in the mountains is also an accident, and it can be regarded as fate, are you going to the Little Sage Village?"
Zhang Liang followed Chu Nangong's line of sight, looked at the books full of cars, nodded and said
"Yes."
"Little Sage Village is also a good source, your grandfather has chosen a good place for you, in Little Sage Village is enough for your Zhang family to continue to pass on the bloodline, with your talent and conduct enough to make a difference in Confucianism, in the future in the Little Sage Village to teach disciples, write books and say, not to let the Zhang family cut off the bloodline is also worthy of your grandfather's efforts to send you out of South Korea." Chu Nangong said with a sigh.
Hearing Chu Nangong's words, Zhang Liang clenched his fists, and a fine light appeared in his eyes and knelt down to Chu Nangong and said
"Nangong, please help me point out a clear way, Zhang Liang doesn't want to be left but die, the country is ruined, if you don't take revenge, Zhang Liang vows not to be a person, and has no intention of enjoying the stable days of the little sage village, and also asks Nangong to point out a path of revenge for the younger generations."
The surrounding Zhang clan people, you look at me, I look at you, a light appeared in their eyes, and they knelt down to Chu Nangong and said
"Please also ask Nangong to show the way for my Zhang family to take revenge."
"Why do you bother? What your grandfather hopes is for you to live in peace, not to let the Zhang family be cut off, not to take revenge, let him pass the past, the country is ruined, and he can't be resurrected. Chu Nangong said.
Hearing that Chu Nangong wanted him to let go of hatred, a wave of anger rose in Zhang Liang's heart, Zhang Liang was influenced by the Confucian Ram family doctrine on weekdays, his grandfather was killed by the Qin army, it was a family feud, and South Korea Since Shen Bu Harm changed the law, scholars were affected by Han Shen's wind, and they were loyal to the monarch, and the destruction of the Korean country was the national hatred, and under the double stimulation of the national hatred and family hatred, Zhang Liang had been swallowed up by the flames of revenge.
"Can the Ninth Age take revenge? If I am greedy for life and afraid of death, greedy for pleasure, how will I face the ancestors of my Zhang family after death? How to face King Han's favor to my Zhang family.
Friends died in battle and fled, it was for injustice, grandfather was killed, not reporting was for unfilial piety, forgetting the country, was it for disloyalty, in the eyes of Nangong, Zhang Liang was disloyal, unfilial and unrighteous? Or does Nangong want Zhang Liang to be such a person. ”
Seeing Zhang Liang like this, Chu Nangong also closed his eyes and said
"Well, if I let you go to the Little Sage Village again, wouldn't it be a person who forced you to be disloyal, unfilial, and unrighteous, and I am also sorry for the friendship between me and your grandfather at the beginning, and I will point out a way out for you."
"Nangong, please speak." Zhang Liang said with a gleam in his eyes.
"Go south into Chu!" Chu Nangong said.
"Chu State? The State of Chu has been afraid of Qin for a long time, and Han Wei has attacked Chu, how can the State of Chu help me take revenge? Zhang Liang wondered.
"That was before, now the state of Chu is a tripartite tripod, Changping Jun and Xiang Yan teamed up against the Chu state order Yin Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao three families, Changping Jun was the left prime minister of the Qin State, and then rebelled against Qin because of the Qin State attack Chu, after entering Chu was loved by the people of Chu State, this person has great talent, but also has the identity of the son of the clan, and more importantly, he is a traitor to the Qin State, if he is allowed to grasp the power of the Chu State, he will definitely work hard to restore the majesty of the Chu State.
The general Xiang Yan is a famous general in the world, not weaker than Wang Jian and others, but also the pillar of Chu advocating resistance to Qin, if he gets the help of the two and borrows the national strength of Chu, it is not that he can't fight with Qin, and then Li Mu of Zhao is also a firm anti-Qin, and his level of command is even more terrifying for Qin, so why should he be afraid of Qin when he unites Zhao and Chu? Chu Nangong said.
Zhang Liang listened to Chu Nangong's words, and a light appeared in his eyes, this is indeed a clear path, but the question is also in front of him, how can he say that Changping Jun will help him take revenge? Chu Nangong also saw Zhang Liang's doubts and continued
"Changping Jun is a traitor to Qin, he must be the sworn enemy of Qin, the so-called enemy of the enemy is a friend, you go to find Changping Jun, he will definitely help you, your own talent is quite high, the Zhang family has a very high reputation in South Korea, the Zhang family is a young talent, Changping Jun is too late to see you happy, how can he refuse you? And now that Changping Jun is facing the joint suppression of Li Yuan and Qu Jingzhao, it is the time when he needs manpower, and you are going to send charcoal in the snow at this time. ”
"Thank you Nangong for what you said, if Zhang Liang avenges his family and the country, he will definitely serve his elders." Zhang Liang bowed his head and said.
"Thank you Nangong!" There was a gleam in the eyes of the Zhang clan, and he bowed his head and said.
"I helped you because of your temperament and friendship with your grandfather, I don't have to mention the matter of repayment, if you want to enter Chu, remember to be careful, the Qin army is looking for you." Chu Nangong said.
"Yes, Nangong." Zhang Liang raised his head, but found that Chu Nangong in front of him had disappeared.
The people of the Zhang clan were also shocked, and looked around to find Chu Nangong's figure, but they couldn't find it.
"Nangong is worthy of being a god." Zhang Liang got up and sighed, and saluted again to the position where Chu Nangong disappeared.
The Zhang clansmen looked at Zhang Liang one by one, their eyes were full of flames of revenge, and they were all waiting for Zhang Liang's order, looking at the Zhang clansmen, Zhang Liang thought of Zhang Kaidi's words again, and said
"All the women, children and old people stayed, and the remaining one-third of them continued to go to Songhai to seek refuge in Xiaoshengxian Village, and the rest of them entered Chu with me, and the Zhang family could not be broken."
For a while, the young and middle-aged people in the Zhang clan rushed to shout that they wanted to enter Chu or not, looking at the clansmen who all wanted to enter Chu, Zhang Liangzhi was very moved, but he couldn't let everyone go, he had to leave hope for the Zhang family, if they failed, there would be descendants to inherit the Zhang family.
"Draw lots to decide, cut paper and make lots." Zhang Liang said.
Soon the Zhang clan cut out the same number of papers as them, these papers were exactly the same, Zhang Liang dotted ink dots on all the papers, one third was two dots, and then folded all the papers, put them in the box next to him, took out a short sword and broke a fist-sized hole in the box, shook it, and said to the clansmen
"One third of the paper is two dots, and the people who draw two dots stay, escort the women, children and the elderly to Songhai Xiaoshengxian Village, and the rest of them go to Chu for revenge, and the emperor's ancestors and Zhang's ancestors testify that there is no falsehood, go and stay by fate, and never regret it."
"Go and stay for your life, and never regret it." The Zhang clan said.
Then everyone began to draw lots, after the lottery, some people were happy and some were worried, and there were some people in the Zhang family who were dead, they thought that the Qin country was powerful, and there was no hope of revenge, rather than revenge and death, it was better to pass on the Zhang family, and some people were happy and some were sad about the results of the lottery.
"The result has been clear, everyone went back to say goodbye to their families, and gathered with me under the tree." Zhang Liang looked at the clansmen and said, although he wanted revenge, but he didn't want to involve some clansmen who had died in their hearts, let them say goodbye to their families in order to let them exchange privately, let those who did not want to go exchange with those who were willing to go, at the same time, Zhang Liang was also to be able to unify the goal, if some of the clansmen who entered Chu were unwilling, there would inevitably be an accident, it was better to let them leave now.
The eyes of some of the Zhang clansmen flashed, and everyone saluted Zhang Liang and began to say goodbye to the clansmen.
Half an hour later, two-thirds of the clansmen came to Zhang Liang's side, all of them were people who were willing to take revenge, and most of the rest were people who were unwilling to take revenge, and there were also some people who were forced to stay.
Zhang Liang said to the people who stayed
"Everyone, please rest assured, this is the destiny of heaven, don't think about it anymore, when we take revenge to destroy Qin and restore the country, we will definitely take everyone back to our homeland and get together again, if we wait for death to complete the revenge, please don't avenge us, pass on the Zhang family, protect the women and children along the way, the future of the Zhang family is up to you."
Let's talk about it, Zhang Liang led people to salute the rest of the people, and most of the rest of the people hid their faces and wept, although they were unwilling to take revenge, but they were still moved by Zhang Liang's decision, and the leader said
"The head of the family and all the compatriots can go, the family don't have to worry, we won't let the women, children and old people of the Zhang family be bullied in the slightest, we are waiting for you to come back and pick us up."
After everyone saluted, Zhang Liang took the people with the trays and food and resolutely left the camp and set off in the direction of Chu State, leaving the remaining young and weeping women and children in the camp, who knew that it would be difficult for their men to come back after leaving this time.
At this time, Xianyang has received the military report sent by Xinzheng, after Ying Zheng learned that Korea was destroyed, he immediately granted amnesty to the world, to express his happiness, and asked Zhao Gao to read out the content of the military report in public during the great court meeting, so that the minister began to approve the military merits and rewards, as well as the matter of awarding the title, after announcing all this, Ying Zheng still felt that it was not enjoyable, and immediately announced that the money seized from the attack on Korea would be rewarded to the army with 20%.
Ying Zheng also experienced the feeling of wealth at this moment, he felt for the first time that not only did he not have to spend money to fight, but he could also make a lot of money, Ziyou asked people to pay off all the powerful people in South Korea, and the money and food scavenged were countless, this time the Qin army spent a huge amount of money to start the war, and the arrival of money and food this time not only completely made up for the consumption, but also supported the Qin army to fight such a war again.
This made Yingzheng, who was accustomed to a simple life, addicted to local tyrants, although he could only leave 20% to Shaofu after this attack and capture, but it also made him no longer have to worry about Yu Linwei, a gold-swallowing beast, plus the income of Dingxianglou, Yingzheng was very happy, happy to the concubines of the Qin Palace, and there were three more pregnant with heirs.
The Prime Minister's Mansion and the Treasury were also smacked when they saw the money and food, and they no longer had to worry about the lack of food and money for the domestic siege, and when all the food and money owed were paid off, they would not be short of money.
At this time, Ying Zheng and the ministers of the Qin State realized one thing, that is, if they conquer the city in the future, the magnates of other countries must not let go, these are all money bags, and letting go of one is a lot of money less.
