Chapter 83: Cai Ze enters Qin
Tang Ju said to the man: "Uncle Cai is so good, he can't talk to others!" “
The man said, "Respectfully! “
Tang Ju then took Cai Ze's hand and went to the hall together. And the person who brought Cai Ze over left politely.
The house is not of a high level and has no steps. Cai Ze staggered and went to the court. Tang Ju helped him, sat down at the same table with him, and then went to bring a jar. Cai Ze stopped: "The wine is enough, you can't drink more!" ”
Tang Ju opened the jar and said, "I heard that Uncle Cai has lived in Chu for a long time, do you have to smell the good tea of Chu people?" I have lived in Han Wei for a long time, even too Chu, others have nothing to desire, and those who read are only tea ears! ”
Cai Ze said: "I see! If you are a tea, it is exactly what I want! Ho Cha? ”
Tang Ju scooped one out of the jar and handed it to Cai Ze and said, "This kudzu flower can also relieve hangover." The years I have hidden have not been lightly opened! ”
Cai Ze said: "This is very much in line with my wishes! He took a sip and said, "Very good!" "Put it in front of the table.
Tang Ju himself scooped a lamp, took a sip and said, "Gehua is not from Chu, but from my own will." How fortunate it is to be able to enter the eyes of my brother! ”
Cai Ze said: "Cook tea on a winter night, wake up and drink, this plan is a long time." Brother calls brother, there will be teaching! ”
Tang Ju was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then smiled: "This sincere and exquisite heart is also!" I know my brother, I don't dare to hide it, and I want to see my brother! ”
Cai Ze said: "Brother from Xianyang? ”
Tang Ju said: "Although it is not hit, it is not far away!" ”
Cai Ze said: "Would you like to hear it in detail? ”
Tang Ju said: "I would like to recommend my brother to King Qin, what can I do?" ”
Cai Ze was shocked: "I have been in the spring for a long time, so why should I revert to King Qin?" ”
Tang Ju said: "Brother Chun Shenjun is only more than a year, how long will it be?" The brother who does the work is the Mang's also! ”
Cai Ze said: "The Mang family recommended me to Shen Gongzi, so I got the spring Shen Jun." Brother also knows. ”
Tang Ju said: "Brother's business, the Mang's family is also a little more than a town, and the money and grain are no more than a thousand households." Brother has to show his talents? Chun Shenjun made his brother Yu Zhou, and the world was shocked, and this brother's talent was also. Ran Chun Shenjun should also reuse brother? ”
Cai Ze was a little gloomy, and said: "I am separated from Yanye, and I have the ambition of Yanpeng, and I will eventually return to Yanqueye." Go to Zhao, see you. Zhi Han and Wei were captured in Tu. This brother's talent is not enough, and he has not been hated! ”
Tang Ju said: "Definitely." Chun Shenjun used his brother, and his brother had to show his talents, and the world was shocked. Is there no talent for my brother? It's useless! The Mang clan regarded his brother as a retainer, and the Chu clan regarded his brother as a slave. Dare to ask Brother Cai, now that he returns to Chu, should he stand on the temple, and should he stand in the hall of Shen Gongzi? ”
Cai Ze said: "If you have to stand in the hall of Shen Gongzi, you will be lucky!" Or to be old, return to the village, and be silent and dusty. ”
Tang Ju said: "With his brother's immorality, King Qin is ordered to go out of the customs and recruit talents into Xianyang." The former, the younger brother entered Handan, and wanted to recommend the great Confucian to enter Qin. In autumn, Xunzi entered Qin. Discussed with the King of Qin, but did not get his intentions. Brother said that the king of Zhou cut down Qin and was known to the king. Then the king consulted with the mastermind. The secret agents have come out repeatedly, and they know the life of Chun Shenjun, and the brother has done it. Wang Da admired, thinking that he was a brother, and a countryman was also. It is the meaning of the brother's face to be courteous. May my brother enter Xianyang to listen to the teachings. ”
Cai Ze said: "My brother is ordered by Chun Shen Jun, and he seeks to be Zhou." Its plan is from Chu, and it is also its capital. Brother but follow the work of dogs and horses, what a way! ”
Tang Ju said: "It's not true. Wang Zan said: 'King Bizhou, King Yong! Trapped in Zhoucheng, there is no plan. and was not on good terms with Erzhou Gong. Mr. is also out, the king of Zhou is revived, and the second Zhou Zuozhi, all the princes of the world respond. Mr. can pass, although Su Qin and Zhang Yi can't pass. In the past, Su and Qin had to wear the six countries, and Zhang Yi was in Qin. The talent of Mr. is enough for Qin Xiangye. ’”
Cai Ze said: "Qin corresponds to the marquis, and the king is in charge." Wei Qi responded to the Hou, and the King of Qin asked for it. Wei abandoned it, Zhao killed it, and the world shook. Why did the minister move? ”
Tang Ju said: "Brother knows the surface, but he doesn't know the inside." Ying Hou offered a strategy of distant friendship and close attack, Wang Shanzhi. However, he should be the prime minister for ten years, and there was no corresponding strategy. The first battle was fought in Yan and, and the distant attack was also; The resumption of the war is in the party, not the near; Three battles in Handan, but also far away. Although victorious, Qin's land is not extensive, Qin's power has not increased, and the princes are all provocative. Although Qin won repeatedly, his strength became weaker and weaker. Now Qin and Zhao were injured twice, and the power of the princes was over. Chu, Han, Wei, and Qi, although they were attacked, had 100,000 soldiers, which was enough to meet the enemy of Qin. It's the opposite of what you do. ”
Cai Ze said: "Don't use the plan of the marquis, the king can just stop it!" Wu Anjun, Qin Zhiliang's general, also died in a word; The marquis, Qin Zhiliang, was also eliminated overnight. There is no foundation in Qinben, but once you know it, you can stop it, and if you don't use it, why set up a false position? ”
Tang Ju said: "The death of Wu Anjun is also due to Wang Yi as a general; The retreat of the marquis is also a phase. Wang Zheng wants to be like a brother's talent, and he can retire! ”
Cai Ze said: "Brother is not the king's henchman, how can he know the king's intentions?" ”
Tang Ju said: "The gap between the monarch and the minister, how can words teach each other, but you can also look at its traces!" The younger brother should be recommended to the king, and he went out to seek sages. The younger brother entered Xianyang, contemplating its shape, and got its feelings. At the beginning, the Confucianism of the world recommended it to the king, and the king was not good! Brother Nai knows that the king will be in the hands of Jingguo, and Brother Nai Si is his person! ”
Cai Ze said: "Ying Hou has been Qin Xiang for ten years, and the minister can be abolished in a word." Today, I am doing spring Shenjun, and it is the time to show the economy. Abandon him and go, will he give up halfway! ”
Tang Ju said: "Forgive my brother for being blunt, although my brother has gathered the princes and soldiers in Luoyang, can he hope that he will enter the letter?" But bluff ears! What does Chun Shenjun want? He wanted to gain the east, but he made the princes go west. With the great talent of the brother, abandon the defeated position, how can you use the way of the virtuous! For the sake of brother's plan, it is better to abandon this inevitable defeat and go straight to Hangu, but he should be virtuous to move the king. If you see the king, with the talent of your brother, how can you do anything! ”
Cai Ze said: "What is the brother's desire for the brother's entry?" ”
Tang Ju said: "Today's people all say that they are fighting Qin, and they are covered for food and clothing. As soon as my brother enters the customs, no one in the world can do anything. This brother's wish is also true! ”
Cai Ze said: "Not wanting to be mutilated is what the world wants!" ”
Tang Ju said: "If the brother is interested, the brother should recommend it." ”
Cai Ze said: "It's not what you want." I will enter the customs with great words, saying, 'Yanke Cai Ze, the world's heroes and wise men. As soon as he saw the king of Qin, the king of Qin would be trapped and seize his throne. The king will move, but he will do nothing. ”
Tang Ju said: "It's a good plan! May it be done! ”
Cai Ze came out of Tang Ju and returned to his boarding place at Su Li's house. Su Li saw that Cai Ze had not returned late at night, so he sent someone to look for him, while he waited in the hall. When I saw Cai Ze returning, my face was slightly drunk, and I asked, "Why is it so late?" ”
Cai Ze said: "Drink with Shen Gongzi, see old friends on the way, and drink too!" ”
Su Li said: "Who is the old friend, why don't you hear it?" ”
Cai Ze said: "Xingyang Tang Clan, first entered Yuluo. ”
Su Li said: "Brother Qi has an old relationship with the Tang family? ”
Cai Ze said: "When the ministers are in charge of the Mang's family, they have more friends with them. Although he is reckless, Gai is also chivalrous! ”
Su Li said: "There are also many brothers and friends, as for the pawns!" ”
Cai Ze said: "The minister is cheap, so there are many despicable things!" ”
Su Li said: "Cover the foundation of a gentleman!" ”
After a few words, Cai Ze resigned and went back to his room to sleep. Lying on the bed, tossing and turning without sleeping. More than 40 years ago, Tang Ju's words still inspire him: "I hold the fat of my teeth, drive the prancing horse, carry the seal of gold, and make purple ribbons, before I let the lord of the people, eat meat and be rich, forty-three years is enough." "Qu Zhi calculates, and the forty-three year period is approaching.
He recalled the conversation with Tang Ju again, and every expression of the other party's speech was vivid. He tasted it over and over again, looking for the deep meaning in it. He believes that Tang Ju's judgment that Ying Hou fell out of favor in front of the King of Qin may have some justification, after all, Zheng Anping's surrender will have a strong impact on the King of Qin. Although Zheng Anping has a last resort, betrayal is betrayal after all!
He suddenly thought of Wang Ji. In the process of contacting the princes, Cai Ze learned that Donghe Shouwang Ji also had a tacit understanding with the princes, and it seemed that he had established a gentleman's agreement of mutual non-aggression. There are also Chen Si and Mang Wei. Mang Wei is nameless, and Cai Ze knows that he is actually a dark line sent by the Mang family to the Qin State. And Zhang Lu knows this. Although Mangmao lost power, the Mang family still had its status among the princes and could run among them. Even Mangchen's business success largely depends on this relationship.
He cleaned up the actions of the Qin State in the past ten years. After Zhang Luwei became the prime minister, he initially focused his attack on Korea according to his strategy, occupying the South Korean land of Fenshang and Hanoi Nam Duong, and almost obtained the Shangdang from Korea without a fight. It was Zhao Guo who took the initiative to intervene sideways and spoil Zhang Lu's plan. What Tang Ju said was not true. But Zhang Lu's mistake was that under the intervention of Zhao, he was not able to adhere to the strategy of attacking Han, but allowed his anger to lead the attack to Zhao, thus giving the princes a chance to breathe. In the battle of Shangdang, although the Qin people won, they suffered great internal injuries. Although the front line was commanded by Wu Anjun Bai Qi, the King of Qin still personally went to Hanoi to supervise the battle, which explains everything. After that, Bai Qi was forced to commit suicide, which was a symptom of this internal injury attack.
However, although there were obvious internal injuries, the Qin people could not recover from their injuries, so they immediately sent troops to Handan and fought with their wounds, resulting in a great defeat. King Qin's trust in the marquis should have been weakened because of this! Zheng Anping's surrender was just an appearance. The key is that when Zhang Lu was angry, he failed to grasp the direction, but went with the flow and allowed the situation to develop in an unfavorable direction!
Cleaning up here, Cai Ze found that King Qin was not as tyrannical as rumored, nor was he as powerful as rumored. On the contrary, the King of Qin was able to give full play to the talents of his subordinates, give them full trust, and let them make contributions! Like a god, he watched the work of his subordinates, and when he found that there was a problem with them, he did not intervene, but corrected them naturally!
The more Cai Ze thought about it, the more excited he became, and he felt that he could completely enter Qin, maybe the glory and wealth would be in hand! In case of failure, it is just a waste of effort.
The action must be confidential and swift, not through anyone's hands, but must meet the King of Qin directly!
How can this be done? Cai Ze fell into deep thought again......
