When the king of Chu heard this, he counted with his fingers: "Zhao died 400,000, 200,000 Koreans, 200,000 Zhao." Zhao people are 200,000, Taiyuan is 100,000, and Handan is 100,000. Handan lost, 100,000 ......"

Huang Xie didn't wait for the king of Chu to finish counting, so he interrupted: "Zhao, the country of ten thousand times." One hundred thousand, one thousand, one thousand; On the party, Han Di also. Therefore, although the loss is huge, it is not lost at all, and the strength is not bent. Ying, the root of Chu, Chu lost Ying, then lost the root, not the party and the like. ”

The king of Chu said: "Zhao, the country of ten thousand times, there is no supreme party, and if you lose it now, you will not be harmed." The succession of children is like ten thousand times. Chu, the country of ten thousand times, and the country of nine thousand times. ”

Seeing that the King of Chu was so calculating the numbers, Huang Xie and Jingyang both showed helpless expressions.

The king of Chu then asked, "What will be the reason for the resumption of a thousand times?" ”

Jingyang said: "Qin has to join the party, and he will come to Handan in ten days." Handan hears the alarm day and night, day and night are restless, and the people will be tired. In order to protect Handan, Zhao Biyu was in Qin. From the party to Handan, the mountain road is narrow, rugged and difficult to walk, and there are passes everywhere, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Qin attacked Zhao Handan, and Zhao attacked Qin Shangdang, both of which were not easy. For the sake of today's plan, don't make a concubine, but drive the war. ”

Huang Xie said: "What Sima said is very good. Qin whipped the world, and all the princes suffered from it, but Zhao was spared. Han used the party as bait, making Qin and Zhao fight, losing small and benefiting big, and the princes were all virtuous, hoping that they would lose both. If this is the only way, then Qin Mengqi will benefit, and no injuries will be seen. Qin's victory and strength were not what the princes wanted. Fang Jin's plan is to drive Qin and attack Handan! ”

The king of Chu said: "Then the plan will be settled?" ”

Huang Xie said: "Qin's law is strict, and it is impossible to confer a knighthood without merit. Victory and capture, merit is also, and the soldiers are all benefited; The soldiers are all responsible for the loss of their teachers and their land. Therefore, Qin must take more Zhao Cheng as a credit. If you take more Zhao Cheng, Zhao will not do it, and it will not work. ”

Jingyang said: "The lobbyist of the world, lobbying the princes, will be widely rumored: Zhao's land is limited, and Qin's desire is endless, and the limited land is filled with infinite desire, and it will be ruined!" ”

Huang Xie said: "Zhao Zhiyu is also invincible. Zhao Wang Shao, strong in blood, will be aggressive. Chu was secretly meeting with the princes, secretly helping Zhao State, and making him unyielding, so that he would not fight with Qin. ”

The king of Chu said: "Zhao is not with Qin, Qin will fight Zhao." Qin is above the power of the party, and fighting Handan, can Zhao Qi be the enemy? ”

Jingyang said: "But Qin goes out of Wuguan and enters Handan, the princes will be saved, and Qin will be defeated." At that time, Yingdu could be restored. Take advantage of its disadvantages and attack the princes, and the princes will obey! Three years of the period, when the old Ying! ”

Seeing that Jingyang said so surely, the king of Chu said: "Qin Fei is stupid, how can he lose his big because he is small, and abandon Yingying and chase Handan?" ”

Huang Xie said: "If Zhao doesn't enter the city, Qin will attack Zhao, and the momentum will also." Even if one or two wise men ascended to the heights and shouted, they didn't have to fight with Zhao, and their voices were raging! ”

King Chu said: "Zhao Pingyuan Jun entered Xianyang, and Qin Gongzi entered Handan, and he will also be married." Defeat or defeat? ”

Huang Xie said: "It will be out of the Plains, and then it can be broken." ”

While discussing, Mangshen, who assumed the pseudonym Shen Gongzi, asked to see him outside the palace. Huang Xie entered. Mang Shen said: "Hearing the words in the market, Zhao sent the head of the late Wei Prime Minister Wei Qi to Xianyang, and will also marry Qin!" Therefore, I will report it. ”

Huang Xie was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Wei Qiqi lives in Handan? Why did Zhao people kill him? ”

Meng Shen said: "The rumors in the market have not been obtained, and the details are unknown. ”

Huang Xie said: "I must also find out the truth: where is Wei Qi, why was he beheaded, and Qin He was sent to Xianyang, and Zhao will be the head of Wei Qi and Qin Yuanhu?" ”

Manshen agreed and stepped back.

Huang Xie said: "Zhang Lu is also a good planner: let the king of Qin take Wei Qi as his concubine, Yu Zhao has nothing to lose, and Yu Qin is a great merit." Wonderful, wonderful! ”

The king of Chu was puzzled and asked, "What's the wonder?" ”

Huang Xie said: "The princes all plan that Qin will get Zhao Cheng to marry him, and Zhao will not marry Qin Cheng, and he will not succeed." Today, Qin takes Wei Qi as the head of the concubine, Yu Zhao has nothing to lose, and Yu Qin shows his strength, and there is no loss to the two, and the concubine is successful! ”

King Chu said: "Is it because Qin and Zhao Bi are in love?" ”

Huang Xie pondered for a moment and sneered: "It's easy, and the people in the world are unwise? Then he saluted to the king of Chu and Jingyang: "The art of war, the upper army is to fight and strategize, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the next is to attack the city." Qin Mou and Zhao He, please break it for the king! ”

King Chu said: "Thanks to Ling Yin!" ”

Jingyang said: "If you get good wine and beautiful people, I will be rich, and I am willing to serve!" ”

Huang Xie said: "King Qin, a person who nourishes qi, how can he be a wine!" ”

Jingyang said: "If there is no wine and beauty in this life, what is the fun of the husband?" I really don't know the heart of a qi cultivator. He turned to the king of Chu and said, "If the king wants to be beautiful, the minister is willing to sacrifice it, but the king is fortunate and the prince is not okay!" ”

Huang Xie said: "If there is a person who enters the king's eye, I am willing to offer it!" ”

The king of Chu saw that the two of them were talking lively, and said: "Bugu has returned from Qin, and he regards his beauty as dust, and he has not seen it enough." I want to live for a hundred years, and I am led by my desires, and I have no confusion! ”

Huang Xie said: "Husband and wife, the head of humanity, there are husband and wife, and then there are father and son, monarchs and ministers, and they are not desired." Children and grandchildren, filial piety, the luck of the country, and so on? I wish the king many sons to rest, and the country will last forever. ”

King Chu said: "What Erqing offered, it should be fortunate, and Ling Yu also!" ”

Jing Yang and Huang Xie shook their heads, but they were helpless.

A few days later, news about Wei Qi converged to Huang Xie: the order to hunt down Wei Qi was given by the King of Qin himself. When the king of Qin learned that Wei Qi lived in the fief of Pingyuan Jun of Zhao State, he brazenly detained Pingyuan Jun, and sent envoys to Handan in a grand manner, directly asking for Wei Qi from King Zhao, and publicly declaring that he would exchange Wei Qi's head for Pingyuan Jun. Although the king of Zhao hesitated several times, he still sent troops to arrest Wei Qi, although Wei Qi escaped from Handan, but because he was desperate, he committed suicide on the way, and the head has now been handed over to the Qin envoy and sent to Xianyang. And after the Qin envoy repeatedly verified that the situation was correct, he put Wei Qi's head in a wooden box and hit the road.

The spies of the State of Chu also learned that King Zhao had renovated Gongzi Yiren's residence in Handan City according to Shangqing's specifications. At present, the Inhuman Mansion standing in the northeast corner of Handan City has become a landmark in Handan City. The merchant Lü Buwei, who came with the Qin envoys, brought a large number of rewards from the Qin king, and these rewards had increased in value several times after Lü Buwei's skillful management. And what makes the people of Handan talk the most is that Lü Buwei dedicated his newly married concubine to Gongzi Yiren, and this concubine seemed to be pregnant with Liujia when she passed the mansion! The latter news shocked Jingyang, and he wondered in disbelief: "Is it a Jurchen stunner?" Childe, young woman, yes? He also specifically asked the spy if there were any other women in Handan besides Zhao Ji offered by Lu Buwei, and received a negative answer. Jingyang muttered to himself: "Childe Yiren also practices qi? ”

Huang Xie did not have time to care about these lace news, he constantly sent spies, secret envoys and royal envoys to various countries to understand their attitudes, persuade, lure, and even threaten them to support Zhao against Qin. Han Wei made a good statement in person, but he resolutely did not talk about specific measures. The country of Qi is simply unreasonable, let the envoy say that the sky is broken, it is to bite one, but be good with the princes, not with the princes! As long as the princes do not enter the Qi realm, they are all allies; And if it invades the Qi realm, the Qi country can only resist. And Yan Guo firmly stated that unless Zhao returned the annexed Yan land, it would be impossible for Yan and Zhao to form an alliance!

The Qin envoy's itinerary was very high-profile. He put Wei Qi's head in a wooden fence-like box and carried it on the long soldier in his car. Two passenger cars and 100 followers followed behind, mighty and mighty, from Fushui into the Yellow River, through the country of Puyang, from Pushui to Jishui, to Xingyang. Abandon the boat and go ashore, cross Luoyang, and return to Xianyang through Hanguguan. The road chosen by the Qin envoy is the main road of communication between the countries, merchants and envoys from all over the country gathered here, and after a while, the princes have spread the word, and the Zhao State has already offered the head of Wei Qi to Qin! Various forces carefully evaluated and compared, and in view of Wei Qi's status, his killing made most people believe that the Zhao State was obviously unable to fight again, and the situation of the Qin State dominating the world had been formed! Based on this judgment, different people decide what strategy they will adopt next.

Seeing that the flames were receding and the golden wind was about to rise, Huang Xie was at a loss, and only half-hearted Han and Wei secretly verbally supported Zhao Guo without any action. Seeing that Pingyuan Jun represented King Zhao and Qin Huimeng, left Xianyang and returned to Handan.

The princes of various countries were nervously crisscrossing and closing, and the Shangdang, the center of the storm, was a peaceful scene. The five doctors Wang Ling acted as the party guard, and the general leader was 70,000 Qin soldiers, and resumed production in the party. Li Bing, the captain of the northern land, was appointed as the captain of the party. Li Bing dredged ditches in the Shangdang area, set up a mo, replanned the acres of land according to the Qin system, and allocated land. The king of Qin decreed that all those who moved to Shangdang would be exempted from punishment and given the rank of knight by the people. Almost all of the Shangdang were prisoners, Qin's laws were strict, and there were many laws for sitting together, often one person broke the law, and the whole family was guilty. Those convicts moved their families to the Shangdang, so that they could be exempted from crime and serve the people, and the Shangdang population became prosperous. Women and children have added vitality to the land, and the slaughter and depression of the past have been replaced by vitality.

Another 10,000 convicts, under the leadership of Pi Juan, built roads between Hedong and Shangdang. Roads built temporarily for the war were replaced by high-grade rammed earth roads. Although Pi Wan is already the fifth doctor, he has not been promoted, and he is still a captain in Hedong. After Wu Anjun Bai Qi was appointed as a general and commanded the Battle of Changping, Wang Ji temporarily took the post of Hedong Shou. Now, under the recommendation of Qin Prime Minister Zhang Lu, Wang Ji was officially appointed as the Hedong Shou for the merit of introducing Zhang Lu, and was given special treatment for three years of exemption. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the former Hedong Shou Zhang Lu has regained control of Hedong. Relying on Hedong, Vu An Jun Bai Qi occupied almost all of Nan Duong in Hanoi and won the Battle of Changping. After this war, the treasury in Hedong has been empty, the manpower has been exhausted, and it cannot be restored without vigorous operation. Turning it from the hands of good generals to good ministers is the embodiment of this strategy.

When the autumn wind gradually rises, whether it is Hedong or Shangdang, the millet is fragrant, the farmland is full of busy workers, and the farmland is surrounded by hard-working peasant women and children who don't know the taste of sorrow.

Last year's massacre seems to have been thrown into the dust......
