Cai Ze said: "With Zhu Xiang's intelligence, he will definitely convince King Qin." ”

Xun Guan slapped the table fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "It's okay if he is kidnapped by King Qin, if he can really persuade King Qin to let him go back to Zhao, this will be a disaster!" I'm afraid I didn't tell the truth completely before leaving! ”

Cai Ze continued to be silent.

Zhu Xiang made such a big move in Changping, which was completely different from the "persuasion" they thought. Cai Ze had already realized that Zhu Xiang probably had other plans.

Cai Ze and Zhu Xiang are peers, and compared with Xun Jing and other elders, Cai Ze knows Zhu Xiang better.

"I don't know when King Zhao will send someone and who will come." After scolding Zhu Xiang a few times, Xun Guan smoothed the wrinkles on his clothes and sneered, "I hope he won't be too stupid, be the one who kills soldiers, and let King Qin benefit." ”

Zhu Xiang is not a scholar, but he has made such a feat, and in the hearts of the people of the Seven Kingdoms, he is already a "scholar".

"Shi" is a birth, and it is also an appreciation for a person of high moral character.

Xun Jing sat in the silent courtyard, waiting for King Zhao to send someone to come.

After Cai Ze brought dried jujube tea to Xun Qian, he sat quietly behind Xun Qian.

When the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the door, Cai Ze got up and went to open the door.

Walking to the path of the courtyard, Cai Ze looked up at the most conspicuous jujube tree in the courtyard.

Now it's time to bear dates again. But because Zhu Xiang didn't take good care of the jujube tree this year, the jujube tree did not bear more dates than in previous years.

"Knock knock knock".

There was a heavy knock on the wooden door. Cai Ze took a deep breath and put his hand on the latch.

The door opened, and Pingyang Jun Zhao Bao appeared in front of Cai Ze with an anxious face.

"On the orders of King Zhao, please invite Zhu Xiang's wife and Qin Guo's proton politics to live in the palace!" Zhao Bao said solemnly.

A mocking smile appeared on Cai Ze's ugly face: "Does Pingyang Jun have King Zhao's edict?" ”

Changping.

After the old, weak, sick and disabled were let go, Zhao Jun finally didn't have to cremate his comrades every day.

Zhu Xiang replanned Zhao Jun's residence. He left an empty piece of land in the middle of the tent of Zhao's camp and set up a high platform.

Bai Qi walked here with King Qin, who was pretending to be a staff member, and wondered, "What is the use of this high platform?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Zhao people often pass the harvest season that year. At this time, it is the New Year's Day. When the potatoes are harvested, they will face parting again, so I want to hold a harvest festival so that they can have a good New Year before parting. ”

King Qin's benevolent expression on his face shattered, his expression changed again and again, and his face was very exciting.

Bai Qi asked King Qin's question: "They are still prisoners of war, you let the prisoners of war celebrate the New Year?!" ”

Zhu Xiang was puzzled: "Why not?" A small half of these prisoners of war will become the subjects of Qin and become Wu Anjun's comrades. Wu Anjun wouldn't be so stingy, right? ”

Bai Qi: "......" Even if it is my comrade, the Qin people celebrate the New Year in October, and they have not seen the New Year in the barracks!

Zhu Xiang looked at Bai Qi's expression and suddenly said: "By the way, I was busy cleaning the battlefield before, and the Qin soldiers didn't celebrate the New Year." Or together? When the potatoes are harvested, everyone will be able to eat a full meal! ”

King Qin couldn't help it, he took a step forward and crossed Bai Qi: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Zhu Xiang frowned: "Chinese New Year...... What does it mean? Celebrate the New Year no matter where you are. ”

King Qin looked Zhu Xiang up and down, and saw that Zhu Xiang's doubts were not false at all.

Could it be that this person really just doesn't have any purpose, just wants Zhao Guo to celebrate the New Year's Day and be happy?!

If it weren't for the fact that Zi Chu couldn't reveal his identity now, otherwise there would be no excitement to watch in the future, King Qin really wanted to call Zi Chu and ask Zi Chu, is there something wrong with what Zhu Xiang is thinking?

Bai Qi said: "The pawn is far away from home, I'm afraid I'm not in the mood to celebrate the harvest." ”

Zhu Xiang shook his head: "It is precisely because they are very bitter and far away from their hometown, so they are happy to hold a celebration, so that their spirits are a little more relaxed, and they will be more positive when facing the future." Wu Anjun once said that as long as the barracks do not mutiny, the Zhao State will be under my control. What I am doing now should not violate our agreement. ”

Bai Qi glanced at King Qin and said, "Don't disobey." ”

King Qin took a step and walked around the high platform a few times: "How are you going to celebrate?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Just ...... Performances? ”

King of Qin: "......" When Zhu Xiang returns to Qin, does he want to ask a famous doctor to treat Zhu Xiang?

Bai Qi said: "The gathering of the soldiers may cause tension in our army. You write down the celebration process in a paperwork, and I will do it after reading it. ”

Zhu Xiang's face immediately collapsed. He didn't bring much paper, and if he wanted to write papers, he had to chop wood to make wooden tablets, bake them dry, and write on them.

Is this writing paperwork? This is servitude!

"Yes." Zhu Xiang hung his head dejectedly, "I'll go and split Mu Jian." ”

King Qin grabbed the cuffs of Zhu Xiang, who wanted to leave: "Wait and go again." What are these pillars for? ”

Zhu Xiang said: "The dragon and lion dances, bouncing on the pillars, are very lively. ”

King Qin asked again, "Where is this pile of firewood?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "Light a bonfire and dance around it." ”

King Qin pointed to the squares drawn on the ground: "How can this be played?" ”

Zhu Xiang said: "This is the divided position, just sit here and watch the performance, so as not to make a fuss." ”

King Qin said: "That widow ...... What about Wu Anjun's position? ”

Zhu Xiang pointed to the lower platform next to him and said, "Here, you can see it most clearly, and it is quiet." ”

Bai Qi began to have a headache.

Your Majesty, do you want to participate in the harvest celebration of the surrender of the Zhao Kingdom?! Do you know how dangerous this is!

But King Qin said that he wanted to go, so Bai Qi could only rack his brains to rectify the guards and accompany King Qin to see the excitement.

King Qin and his brother King Qin Wu died on the throne, and King Qin Wu also liked hunting too much and was injured before, and there are many things where King Qin is so prodigal. The old King Qin was no exception.

He thought it was interesting and agreed to Zhu Xiang's request, and he wanted to personally watch how lively this group of Zhao soldiers was.

King Qin smiled at Bai and said, "Can prisoners of war really hold a celebration?" Aren't you curious? ”

Bai Qi asked, "Do the Qin soldiers also want to celebrate the New Year?" ”

King Qin waved his hand: "The whole army will be rewarded with an extra month's salary." ”

Bai Qi immediately knelt down: "Xie Junshang!" ”

King Qin said again: "The soldiers gathered together and had nothing to do, and there might be chaos. Since Zhu Xiang invited the Qin people to join him, you should let the Qin soldiers also participate in his celebration. ”

Bai Qi smiled bitterly: "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

So the harvest celebration of the Zhao State ushered in a group of Qin soldiers wearing weapons.

Zhu Xiang appeased the Zhao soldiers and told them not to care about the Qin soldiers and continue to prepare for the harvest and celebrations.

Perhaps it was because the land on the battlefield was particularly fertile, or perhaps it was another warm winter with high temperatures this year, or perhaps because the irrigation conditions were good with Danshui and less water, and the potato flowering time was more than ten days earlier than Zhu Xiang's first potato planting.

Modern potatoes are grown using modern machinery, as well as chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and the yield is already too high to be too delicate. But at this time, there is nothing, and almost heaven and earth are relied on to eat, so the management of what can be done must be more refined.

Zhu Xiang led Zhao Guo to pinch potato flowers in the potato field, so as not to rob the tubers of nutrients from flowering and fruiting.

The pinched potato flowers were decorated on the high platform where the celebration was to be held, and some skillful Zhao Bing also used hay to string up small potato flowers to make a flower curtain.

They found beautiful stones in the river, picked beautiful leaves from the mountains, and piled up patterns and symbols representing the gods of the Zhao people.

Zhu Xiang also asked them to decorate a pile of stones with potato flowers, representing their comrades who died on the battlefield of Changping.

The time for the harvest is getting closer and closer, and the look of hope and joy on Zhao Guo's face is getting stronger and stronger.

Even when they were hungry every day, they no longer went back to their tents to sleep immediately after their farm work, but wandered the streets looking for something to decorate the celebration.

The Qin soldiers reported to Bai Qi that the soldiers of Zhao actually carved wood carvings and piled up various animals with soil during the slack season. The place where the Zhao Kingdom is about to hold a harvest celebration is being decorated more and more beautifully.

Looking at the little eyes of Qin Bing who reported to him, he was speechless.

A few months ago, you still regarded each other as enemies, do you still want to celebrate the harvest and the New Year with Zhao Bing!

King Qin was curious: "Where did the soldiers of the Zhao State get so many materials that can be used to make decorations?" ”

Qin Bing didn't know King Qin, he only thought that King Qin was really Wu Anjun's staff, and said respectfully: "We have help!" ”

King Qin: "......" had itchy hands and wanted to cut down this elated Qin soldier.

Bai Qi said solemnly: "You violated military orders?!" ”

Qin Bing hurriedly said: "No, no." The military order didn't forbid us to help them collect beautiful leaves and stones! ”

Bai Qi: "......"

Bai Qi: "Go down." ”

"Yes!" Qin Bing turned around and ran.

King Qin said with a smile: "After staying in the barracks for a while, the widow found that the soldiers didn't seem to be very afraid of Wu Anjun? ”

Bai Qi said: "Maybe because the last general has clear rewards and punishments, if they don't violate the military order, fight bravely, and work hard, they may not have to be afraid of the last general." ”

King Qin stroked his beard and said, "That's true, it's good." Wu Anjun, it seems that the two of us made a mistake in judgment. Not only is Zhao Guo in the mood to hold a celebration, but even Qin Bing seems to be looking forward to this celebration? ”

Bai Qi said: "Maybe Qin Bing is also homesick." ”

King Qin stroked his beard for a moment, and sighed faintly: "If the widow wants to bulldoze the six countries in one go, is it feasible?" ”

Bai Qi said: "Not feasible. ”

King Qin said: "You are a victorious general who wins every battle, and you can't lead the troops?" ”

Bai Qi said: "I send troops according to the situation of the enemy, study the mountains and rivers on the battlefield, and win the situation for profit. ”

King Qin frowned: "If you judge that you can't win the battle, and the widow orders you to fight, you won't either?" ”

Bai Qi knelt down and said: "If I judge that the Qin army cannot win and insist on leading the troops to fight, it will cost the lives of the soldiers, the grain, grass and weapons of the Qin State, and the national strength of the Qin State in vain!" Failure to comply with the order is a capital offense. If you know that it will endanger the Qin State, but ignore it in order to protect yourself, it is disloyal. Your Majesty, the last general will never do anything that is not loyal to the monarch and the Qin State! ”

King Qin's brows furrowed: "In order to be loyal to the widow and the Qin State, would you rather resist and disobey the order?" ”

Bai Qi's forehead was pressed against the ground: "Yes!" ”

King Qin sighed: "Even if the widow wants to kill your entire clan? ”

Bai Qi closed his eyes, tears slowly overflowed from the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his voice trembled: "Yes." ”

King Qin sighed again.

After a while, after Bai Qi's tears had already wet the ground, he got up and helped Bai Qi up: "Wu Anjun doesn't need to worry. The widow knows that you are loyal to the widow and the Qin State, and you will not embarrass Wu Anjun. If Wu Anjun thinks that he can't win, whoever he looks for to lead the troops will only fail. No matter how foolish the widow is, he will not fight a war that he will lose. ”
