Until the king of Qin, who had eaten enough bean rice, ran behind him and pretended to be his staff and retainers, he still didn't understand.

Why can't Zhao Kufei and potatoes get along? Why did Zhao Kuo insult and slander and kill Zhu Xiang? Bai Qi didn't understand at all.

The soldiers of the Zhao army will kill the main general for Zhu Xiang's violence, but Bai Qi can understand one or two.

Zhao Kuo indiscriminately killed the famous veterans in the army before, although it played a deterrent role, it also left resentment in the hearts of the soldiers.

After that, Zhao Kuo gave priority to ensuring the food of his own soldiers and good horses, and the soldiers were hungry to feed on the corpses on the battlefield, and the soldiers had deep grievances in their hearts.

Now Zhao Kuo inexplicably wants to burn good grain, and inexplicably wants to kill Zhu Xiang, who has a high reputation among the civilians of Zhao State.

However, if no one takes the lead in this matter, I am afraid that the soldiers of Zhao State will continue to endure it.

Bai Qi looked at the fearless Bofu on his face: "Listening to your tone, you are very familiar with Zhu Xiang?" ”

Bofu said: "My family lives in the fiefdom of Duke Lin and has been taken care of by Duke Zhu Xiang for many years. ”

Bai Qi rubbed his temples: "That Zhu Xiang ......"

Before he could say anything, Sima Jin ran over: "General! Zhao sent someone to make peace, begging you to release the besieged Zhao army, and bring a lot of grain and grass! ”

When Bai Qi heard the word "grain and grass", his heart was relieved and his mind was clear.

King Qin's eyes also lit up.

"Who is coming, is it Lin Xiangru?" King Qin still remembered Lin Xiangru who dared to coerce him to strike.

Sima Jin said: "No, it's Zhu Xiang!" I heard Zhao Jun keep talking about Zhu Xiang and Zhu Xiang, but I didn't expect Zhu Xiang to be an envoy? Isn't he good at farming?! ”

As soon as Sima Jin got the news, he immediately rushed to report it in person.

Checkmate! Your Majesty! Zhu Xiang, who is particularly good at farming, is here!

Bo Fu was shocked, the head he was carrying in his hand fell to the ground, and Zhao Kuo's dead head rolled on the ground twice: "Why did Zhu Xianggong come here?" King Zhao has never given Zhu Xianggong an official position, how could he let Zhu Xianggong be an envoy?! ”

"Ah, the Zhao people who sent us a letter in advance said that the king of Zhao gave up on you, and Zhu Xiang made Jin bribe Lou Chang, an important minister of Zhao State, so that he could send an envoy. When he went on an envoy, King Zhao did not summon him. Sima Jin inquired clearly, "King Zhao definitely doesn't believe that he can succeed." ”

Bofu and the soldiers of Zhao Guo behind him were stunned for a moment, and then cried bitterly.

Chapter 25: Hares, Wild Foxes, and Crows

Zhu Xiang rode a carriage to the Changping battlefield, passing by the Bailishi Great Wall where the Qin army was stationed.

Wang Yi personally acted as a bait and retreated to the Great Wall of Bailishi. After completing the encirclement, the Qin army was united, and he could naturally take turns with others to garrison.

Recently, it happened to be Sima Jin's turn to change guards with Wang Di, Wang Di went to Gukou, and Sima Jin waited for the arrival of Zhao army reinforcements at the Bailishi Great Wall, so as to "besiege the city and send reinforcements". Zhao Guo's reinforcements did not wait, Sima Jin and others came to the people sent by Zhu Xiang in advance to report the news.

Zhu Xiang was worried that he was welcomed by the rain of arrows from the Qin army before he got close to the Qin army's position, and sent someone to notify the Qin army in advance to let him go.

He originally planned to let Lian Po's family go to report the news, but Xianghe's apprentice volunteered, saying that he could speak Qin and volunteered to be a messenger.

The seven Chinese languages are different, Zhou Youya Yan, which is equivalent to official language, and the envoy only needs to learn Yayan, and he can basically communicate with the other official.

However, it is easier for messengers who can speak Qin to convey the news through the Qin military camp.

Although there is danger when the messenger, who is not in danger with the people who are traveling with now? Zhu Xiang was not hypocritical, gave Xianghe's apprentice his own identity certificate, and stuffed him with some small pieces of gold, silver and copper, so that the Qin soldiers could make it easier.

Xianghe originally wanted to say that the Qin army's laws were strict, and the Qin soldiers did not dare to accept it. But he thought about it, first signaled his disciple to accept the money given by Zhu Xiang, and then handed the Juzi order to the disciple: "Under the pretext of giving money, present this." ”

Before the Mo family disciple was about to leave, Xu Ming handed him a bronze plaque: "I have had a few encounters with Wu Anjun. But my disciple is not as good as you can speak, and this card will be handed over to you. ”

The disciple of the Mo family immediately made a move, holding the bronze plaque respectfully with both hands and said, "I will live up to the trust." ”

The Mohists represent the interests of the small craftsmen, and the peasants represent the interests of the peasants. They have their own political needs, but they all know that there is little hope of realizing them.

In addition to the highest ideals, the Mo family and the peasant family also had the most basic ideal - to enable the small craftsmen and peasants who were the most difficult to survive in the troubled times to survive.

Although the concept of Qin's governance is far from the Mo family and the peasant family, the Qin State is now the country that is most likely to dominate the world and end the troubled times, and it is also the only country among the Seven Kingdoms that has a way for civilians to be promoted, so the Mo family and the peasant family entered Qin early.

The Qin State used oxen and iron plows more widely than the other six countries, and this was due to the farmers.

Every time Bai Qi conquers a place, someone needs to restore order to the city that has been destroyed by the war. Farming is the top priority, and farmers come out with farm tools. Xu Ming had worked with Bai Qi before joining Zhao.

The two are not speculative, their ideals and status are far apart, and they have no friendship with each other. It's just that Bai Qi knows the importance of the peasant family to the Qin State, and may be able to give Xu Ming some face.

After the disciples of the Mo family told Sima Jin about Zhu Xiang's merits, they handed over the gold and silver, the Juzi order, and the bronze medal to Sima Jin.

He knew Sima Jin and knew that Sima Jin was Bai Qi's deputy general.

Sima Jin presented the cloth bag in one go, and King Qin, who was pretending to be Bai Qi's staff, looked at it, stroked his beard and said in surprise: "General, this is the brand of Juzi Ling and Farmer Xu Ming!" ”

Bai Qi was almost shouted by the "general" of the king. Fortunately, under the poison of the deputy general and his old soldiers, he has profound facial paralysis skills.

"Why did the Mo family and the peasant family get mixed up with Zhu Xiang?" Bai Qi frowned, and after a while, his brows stretched, "The Mo family and the peasant family are well-informed, and Zhu Xiang has an excellent reputation among the common people, and it is normal for them to go to investigate in person after they get the news." ”

King Qin made a full gesture of staff: "The Mo family and the peasant family sent these two brands, I'm afraid they want to intercede for Zhu Xiang." Why didn't the general first block the news that the Zhao army had surrendered, let people lead Zhu Xiang and the others over, and then listen to Xianghe and Xu Ming's statements alone? ”

You are the king, you have the final say. After Bai Qi's stomach was slandered, his face was expressionless: "What Mr. said is very reasonable, do what Mr. said." ”

Sima Jin and Wang Di: "......"

Why are you still acting? Then what will we call you in the future? Also called sir? How embarrassing is that......

Bai Qi looked in the direction where several Zhao soldiers who had sacrificed their heads were settled.

They were in great pain when they learned that Zhu Xiang had arrived, and Bai Qi asked them to lead them out of the big tent before asking Sima Jin about what happened next.

He looked at the king silently again.

So your lord, there are no outsiders, why did you suddenly act.

King Qin gave him a "what do you see" look.

Bai Qi swallowed what he wanted to say and said, "Your Majesty, why didn't you summon Zhu Xiang as the King of Qin?" ”

King Qin smiled and said, "The widow wants to see if he will be so frightened that he can't speak in the face of you, the famous Wu Anjun." Wu Anjun, don't expose the identity of the widow. ”

Bai Qi slandered again, in terms of reputation, I, Wu Anjun, am far worse than Junshang.

Bai Qi suddenly felt tired.

He often fights outside and has never been with the king for a long time. Now he admires Fan Xiangguo even more. How can Fan Xiangguo get along with the king? Fan Xiangguo's courage and alertness are really different from ordinary people.

"Obey." Bai Qi reluctantly agreed.

After the disciples of the Mo family replied with the news that the Qin soldiers had been released, Zhu Xiang continued to set off along the foothills of Taihang Mountain.

The mountain roads are rugged, the wheels of the carriage are made of wood, and there is little shock absorption. Even though the foothills were built by the army to allow the carriage to travel, Zhu Xiang was so dizzy that he was bumped in the carriage. Every once in a while, he would come out and ride a horse to get some air.

King Wuling of Zhao reformed the "Hufu Cavalry Shooting", not only changed his clothes, but also selected a cavalry from the charioteers.

Nowadays there are no stirrups, but there are reins and saddles. The cavalry of the Zhao State repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the battlefield, and all countries began to cultivate cavalry, among which the Qin State, which mixed with Xirong, cultivated cavalry the fastest.

After King Wuling of Zhao cultivated cavalry, people with conditions would also wear Hufu and ride horses when they went out. After Zhu Xiang became Lin Xiangru's guest, he was taught by Lin Xiangru to ride a horse and archery.

Zhu Xiang's archery accuracy is the same as his sword dancing skills, so Xun Qian, who took over Zhu Xiang's education work later, will be irritable once he sees it, but his riding skills are barely passable. However, although the car ride is bumpy, it saves a lot of physical strength than riding a horse, so Zhu Xiang still stays in the carriage most of the time.

When he came out to ride a horse, Zhu Xiang took in the scenery along the way.

Since the early years of the Warring States period, the foothills of Taihang Mountain have been fought over by Wei, Han and Zhao, and the war is endless. It has been nearly three years since the Qin State sent troops to join the party, and it has suffered three years of continuous war, and the nearby villages are even more dilapidated and overgrown.

The passing convoy was startled by a plump hare scurrying out of the grass, and the blades of grass swayed, revealing the broken bones hidden in the grass.

An animal that didn't know whether it was a wild fox or a wild dog came out of the pile of bones and poked its head into the convoy, and if you didn't look at the human bones in its mouth, it looked like it was shaking its head.

Several crows hovered in the air, making hoarse and unpleasant sounds.

Civilians near Handan are already worried about what to cook for their daily meal, but there are wild things that can satisfy their stomachs everywhere.

Zhu Xiang also found that the weeds growing next to a half-collapsed house were unpicked seedlings.

Among the seedlings, there was a skeleton with rags. The bones had been scattered by the animals, and only one hand holding the broken dustpan was very eye-catching.

Zhu Xiang retracted his gaze and let the horse slowly move along the team, looking up at the sky.

The sky is overcast, and I'm afraid it's going to rain in autumn.

After the autumn rains, with muddy water covering corpses and weeds overturning graves, perhaps the wilderness didn't look so horrible as it looked.

"Zhu Xianggong, it's going to rain, please go back to the carriage." Xu Ming also glanced up at the sky and persuaded, "In order to meet Wu Anjun, you can't get sick." ”

"Okay." Zhu Xiang is as good as a stream.

Less than a quarter of an hour after he returned to the carriage, raindrops fell on the roof of the carriage. The wind howls like a roar and weeps, and the rain is as loud as soldiers intersect.

Zhu Xiang closed his eyes.

He has already set foot on the battlefield of the Battle of Changping.

When they arrived at the Baili Stone Great Wall, the Qin army sent a team of people to help the Zhao people escort grain and grass.

Zhu Xiang was originally worried that the Zhao people would clash with the Qin army. He circled around the grain transport team and found that Zhao Ren didn't have much anger and hatred towards Qin Jun, but a numb face.

Similarly, Qin Jun had no hatred, no contempt, and no negative emotions towards the Zhao people.

They can't have any positive emotions, they just do what they should do with a straight face.

The Qin State and the Zhao State had just fought, and there were still many bones of the Qin and Zhao people exposed on this battlefield. But Qin Bing and Zhao Ren seemed to only treat each other as strangers, indifferent strangers, and they didn't even have anger and sadness.

Zhu Xiang was a little puzzled.

He thought about it for a long time, and when he could see the main account, he finally figured it out.

The Qin and Zhao people fought for the monarch in a place that was neither Qin nor Zhao, and there was no joy in winning, and there was no hatred in losing.

No, I'm afraid the Qin people still have joy. They took the initiative to attack, had military merits, and had land points.

The Zhao people inexplicably intervened in the war between Qin and Korea, and inexplicably fought to the death with the Qin army, and was finally given up by King Zhao, and asked Zhu Xiang to be a civilian by bribing King Zhao's favored ministers to send an envoy. They may be more dazed and numb in their hearts than hatred.

How could the soldiers of the feudal era have so much sense of honor, they were all "fighting beasts" who were driven to the battlefield and did not know what they were fighting for.

Zhu Xiang rode a horse on the last leg of the road. He straightened his clothes, dismounted from his horse, and walked step by step to the main tent.

The door of the main tent was wide open, and a general waited at the door.

Xianghe leaned in Zhu Xiang's ear and whispered: "That's Bai Qi's deputy general Sima Jin." ”

Zhu Xiang's eyes moved slightly.

Why did Xianghe recognize the generals of the Qin army?

He buried his doubts in the bottom of his heart, set up in front of the big tent, and bowed his hand to Sima Jin: "Zhu Xiang, a commoner, pays a visit to General Sima." ”
