With Jingyangjun as the Tao Shou, this is also unexpected by everyone: wasn't Jingyangjun driven back to the fiefdom and didn't ask about political affairs? Could it be that Jingyangjun is going to come out of the mountain again?

The battle situation in Pingyang Chengcheng was finally sent to Zheng Guo, and Han Ping almost despaired of Pingyang: It's not that I don't fight, it's really that I can't fight! He began to reflect on whether it was a mistake to pin his hopes on Zhao Guo; If he had completely fallen to the Qin State at the beginning, would the situation be better. He took the opportunity of Tao Shou's new appointment to get close to Jingyang Jun, but the envoys sent by Jingyang Jun were turned away: the Marquis has been buried, and the princes don't have to enter Tao! In desperation, he had to borrow merchants to communicate with Tao.

Although Tao is a commercial area, with a vertical and horizontal water network and convenient transportation, the land is fertile and it is also a good place to grow grain. During the reign of the Marquis, the acres of land were also re-measured and distributed according to the lord, and some manors in the hands of the big merchants were cleared out and replanted with grain. Title, become an important identity of people living in Tao, if you just have money, it is not enough, it only means that you can only do business in the business; Only knighthoods can get land, estate, and minions! Money can't buy these!

Due to the intermingling of pottery and other princes' lands, it was quite difficult to implement the Qin law in Tao. Although it is a marquis, it also faces a lot of difficulties. But in the first battle of Zhao at the beginning of last year, Taoyi showed strong combat effectiveness, although he finally withdrew under the "mediation" of Qi, but the surrounding cities were much more honest. In the past year, the city lord has remained unchanged for those who voluntarily practice the Qin law; Those who were unwilling to implement the Qin law sent troops to crusade and forcibly implement the Qin law. Within a year, the boundaries of Taoyi had expanded a lot, and more and more people had become households.

After Jingyangjun took office, there was no new move, but Zhang Tang and Cai Donation continued their previous strategy: after the autumn harvest, they mainly began to expand the scope of the implementation of the Qin law, and these new lands were cultivated by law during spring ploughing.

The suicide note of the Marquis before his death was sent to Xianyang by Jingyang Jun, in which he earnestly asked the King of Qin to increase his investment in Tao, and if Tao could build another Guanzhong, the world would not be able to fight!

The king of Qin did not send this document to the courtiers for discussion, but called the crown prince and Zhang Lu to the palace for secret discussion.

After the death of the Queen Mother, King Qin was obviously aging, as if the Queen Mother had also taken away part of his life, only his eyes were still burning. He looked at Zhang Lu and said: "The widow inherits what Mr. Cheng taught, and he should be far away and close to attack, and he should take Han as a thing." And the marquis diligently took pottery as a thing. The widow can't decide, and I hope Mr. will decide for the widow. ”

Zhang Lu said: "Han and Qin border the border, and their land cannot be thousands of miles, and it is impossible to make an appointment. In the past, Han was the Chinese army to attack Qin with the princes. Qin and Chu fought in Lantian, Han Churui was in charge of Qin, Qin was unfavorable, because he turned to Chu, he did not consolidate the alliance, but he followed. In the former, Han Yiyan and Bait Qin, Qin waded into the mountains and rivers, and fought for places that were not in a hurry, and really wanted to trap Qin. Qin was forced by Zhao, and when he saw a little upset, Han was centrifuged and re-indulged. Han Zhi is in me, and I can't refuse to accept the disease of my henchmen. Those who want to subdue Han, one army out of Xingyang, one army out of Taihang, and three for Han, then Han's siblings and henchmen are separated, and his potential cannot be done. Today, Wu Anjun has obtained the land of Yi, Gaodu, and Fenshang, but when he goes out of Taihang and attacks the wild king, the road to Taihang is broken. Returning to Xingyang, it is west of Chenggao, and there is no longer Han Youye. This great beneficiary is only between the ages of one and two.

"Fu Tao, in the land of all directions, the princes handed over, not like the east of the river there are mountains and rivers to obstruct; Its people are profitable and cunning, and although they are obedient now, their hearts are unsettled; The armor is not strong, and the city is not thick. If you attack it, you will not overcome it, and if you don't stick to it, the princes will break it. If you take good care of its people, you may reap the benefits in decades.

"May the king be anxious with Han, and Tao be slow. Jingyang Jun, the king of the guard, and the guard. Zhang Tang and Cai donation, the marquis of the late generals, and let it be. But let the territory be expanded, and not attacked; Diplomacy is good for the princes, and the internal army is reorganized; Compared with ten years, there should be something to do. ”

King Qin said: "Mr. has counted the two-year-old war, and he has regained the strategy of ten years of birth and rearing, and he is not disobedient, and the good is also good." The widow is respectful! ”

When the Korean envoys entered Xianyang to sue for peace, the king of Qin refused to meet him, and Zhang Lu played his usual character of revenge, denounced Korea for treachery, attacked Hedong, and claimed that he would go to Zheng State to retaliate for this attack! The Han envoy knew that it was blackmail, but he was speechless, because after all, it was South Korea that besieged Qin's Quwo first, and if the Qin army's move was considered a counterattack, it was completely reasonable!

It was Zeng Ji who sent the letter back to Xianyang. After Zeng Ji arrived in Xianyang, he secretly sent out a secret signal to find his companions, but he didn't expect to lead to Zheng Anping and Chen Si! Through the introduction of Zheng and Chen, Zeng Ji learned that Zhang Lu was also on this road.

Those travelers who sought the Lord from place to place, with their teachers or kinship as the core, formed many formal and informal mutual aid networks, and different networks also intersected with each other; Most of them can only lie dormant in the market, engaged in lowly industries. Zeng Ji is a student of Qi State, and Hou Huan is a student of Wei State, Chen Xiao traveled around the world, and they also had contact with each other, Zeng Ji was like a fish in water between Han and Wei, and benefited from Hou Huan's help a lot.

Knowing Zeng Ji's identity, Zhang Lu met with Zeng Ji, claiming that Zeng Ji was his old friend in Wei, and gave a large amount of property in return, allowing Zeng Ji to leave.

From this day on, every once in a while, there would be reckless people from different places to visit Zhang Lu, and Zhang Lu also met one by one, all of whom said that they were old friends in the past, and they all gave a large amount of property, almost used up all their savings in the past few years, and also borrowed money from Zheng Anping, Chen Si and others. So Zhang Lu's reputation of "the grievances of the eyes will be repaid, and the grace of a meal will be repaid".

Zheng Anping was arranged to hand over with these reckless heroes all over the place. Zheng Anping was already reckless, and he was naturally handy when he got this task, and he grasped the dynamics of various places in a timely manner and reported them in a timely manner, Zhang Lu was like a tiger with wings!

This year, Hedong Baiqi did not relax his martial arts for a while, which made Pingyang counties tremble. But Yang Chengjun decided to lie down completely, except for farming, he simply didn't even train as a soldier! Anyway, you can't beat it after practicing, and if you fight in vain, it's better to resist a little and give him the territory to be happy.

However, after the Midyear Festival, Bai Qi did not make a move in Pingyang, but took a selected army and went out of the road to Nanyang.

After the Gaodu was occupied by the Qin army, the Taihang Road was almost cut off, and Yewang near the water almost became an isolated city. Surrounding Yi, Wen, Gaodu, Xingqiu, Huai...... The soldiers of many cities were mobilized, and under the reinforcement of the elites mobilized by other counties in Hedong, they surrounded the wild king!

Unlike the battle of Shaoqu and Shancheng, where the news is not clear, Yewang is located in an important place in Gyeonggi, which is an obstacle to the view, and once it is besieged, the world will know it. Han Ping immediately sent many envoys to ask for help from the vassal states, especially Zhao and Wei, but everyone ignored them; Han Ping sent people to Xianyang to make peace with Qin, Qin asked Wei to cede Pingyang, South Korea naturally did not do it, and the two sides were deadlocked.

A series of actions of the Qin people were in Huang Xie's eyes. When Bai Qi finally came out of the way and besieged the wild king, Huang Xie began his decisive steps.

The envoys of the state of Chu escorted the newly harvested grain and native products of that year. The envoy reported that the king of Chu was in poor health. News about the poor health of the King of Chu has been coming constantly, but due to the gap between him and the movements of the Qin State, Huang Xie has not dared to take action. Now the Qin army has finally attacked the core city of South Korea in Nanyang - the time has come for action.

On this day, the Chu delegation completed the transfer task, had breakfast, and set off, and Huang Xie and the prince sent them out of Xianyang. But when they returned, their car seemed to be sightseeing, and they walked for a long time outside the city; After returning, Huang Xie sent someone to Princess Qin, who was pregnant with her second child, to say that the prince went to visit Qin Xiang and would not return tonight. The princess didn't say anything, although she was a little strange.

When he went to court the next day, only Huang Xie entered the court alone, and the prince did not appear. Usually, Huang Xie and the crown prince stand in the most conspicuous place in the court, and today's absence is very conspicuous. Zhang Lu asked: "Is the prince sick?" ”

Huang Xie replied: "Yes! He felt cold at night, had a heavy headache, and was willing to beg. Zhang Lu didn't say anything more.

In the afternoon of the same day, when Zhang Lu finished handling the day's daily affairs, he returned to the mansion. Huang Xie came to the door by car and asked to see him. Zhang Lu somehow hurriedly invited in.

Xu Li sat down, and Huang Xie asked abruptly: "Xiangguo is honest and good at Prince Chu?" ”

Zhang Lu didn't know what he meant, and replied, "Yes." ”

Huang Xie said: "Now the king of Chu is afraid that he will not be able to get sick, and Qin might as well return to the prince." The crown prince has to be established, and the matter of Qin must be heavy and the country of virtue is endless, and it is a pro-country and a reserve of ten thousand times. If you don't return, Xianyang will be clothed with ears; Chu Gengli is the prince, and he will not do anything to Qin. ”

Zhang Lu listened, thought for a while, and said, "I should repay Wang Ye." ”

Huang Xie said: "The matter is not urgent, the prince owes peace." You can do it slowly. Xiangguo has its intentions! Zhang Lu agreed.

A few days later, Zhang Lu responded to Huang Xie in the court: "I reported to the king with the prince's affairs, and the king said, you can ask the prince Fu to ask about the illness of the king of Chu first, and then return to the map." ”

Huang Xie said: "Obey the order!" On the same day, the prince's car set off.

After a few more days, the prince still did not go to court, and Zhang Lu asked, "The prince is still not sick?" “

Huang Xie said: "I will tell you." “

In the afternoon, after Zhang Lu finished handling his official business, he invited Huang Xie to come and see him. Huang Xie bowed and said: "The prince has returned, and he is far away." Rest and die, and give death. ”

When Zhang Lu heard this, he was silent for a moment and asked, "How many days will it be?" “

Huang Xie said: "Return with Fu." “

Zhang Lu said: "How can the left disciple be bullied! The prince is unharmed, but he is dead. - And the widow of the princess and her son, how can I bear it! “

Huang Xie said: "As Xiangguo said. Qin Zhiliu is also the prince, and the two Yangwen gentlemen are in the middle. If the king dies and the prince is not there, the prince of Yangwen will be established as the queen, and the prince will not be allowed to serve in the temple. Ministers are responsible for Qin, please deserve to die. “

Zhang Lu said wistfully: "Qin lost Chu, and the ministers lost their friends, all today." The ministers should please the king. “
