In order to disturb the situation in other countries, King Wuling of Zhao intervened in the competition for his throne, sent Gongzi Ji back to Qin State to be the king of Qin Zhao, and sent Gongzi to return to Yan State to be the king of Yan Zhao. His provocative eye is really very powerful.

But after the death of King Yan Zhao, King Yan Hui, who succeeded to the throne, immediately fell into the divisive plan of Qi Guotian Dan, suspicious of Le Yi, Le Yi fled to Zhao State, and Yan State immediately declined.

However, the State of Qi did not seize this opportunity to take revenge, because the monarch of the State of Qi also sold Tian Dan, who had the great merit of recovering the country, to the State of Zhao with three large cities.

Le Yi and Tian Dan, a pair of former sworn enemies, were abandoned by their respective kings. When they were forced to leave, the people of their hometown fell to their knees and wept. They died together in Zhao Kingdom, and they died and could not return to their hometown.

King Yan was incompetent, and the "slander" that caused the decline of the Yan Kingdom was pressed on the successor King Yan. They tried to replicate the achievements of King Yan Zhao, but they were powerless, so they became angry and took in Le Yi's Zhao State.

Moreover, today's King Yan was proclaimed to the throne after the Minister of State Cheng Anjun killed the monarch, and King Zhao Huiwen once did not recognize his identity.

He tried to attack Zhao, but before the soldiers left Yan, he was suppressed by King Zhao Huiwen, obediently presented a surrender, and finally married the daughter of King Zhao Huiwen in exchange for the support of Zhao.

Zhao Guo is the heart disease of King Yan, who killed the king and ascended the throne. He saw the decline of the Zhao State and immediately thought that he had seized the opportunity.

Now Jiangqu told him that the Yan State was weak, and even if the Zhao State had declined, the Yan State would undoubtedly be defeated, and he was simply poking the heart of the King of Yan with a sharp sword.

The old King Yan's face turned red and said: "Zhao Guo has Lian Po, and Yan Guo has Chang Guojun!" Chang Guojun, you said to the widow, can you fight! ”

Changguo Junle arched his hand and said indifferently: "No." ”

Le Jian is the son of Le Yi who was forced away by Yan Guo. When Le Yi ran away and the Yan Kingdom declined, King Yan Hui made Le Jian the king of Chang to appease the people.

Rakuma has always been silent in the court, and never refutes the opinions of the monarch. King Yan thought that Lejian would be the same as before, but he didn't expect Lejian to disobey him for the first time!

The gray-haired musician took a deep breath and resolutely kowtowed: "As the doctor Jiangqu said, the Zhao people are brave and good at fighting, and they need a victory to boost the hearts of the people, we can't give the Zhao people this opportunity." ”

King Yan's fists clenched into green tendons, and his face was distorted like tree bark: "Five times the strength of the outnumbered people!" Pro-Zhao State! ”

Le Jian raised his head and said indifferently: "The soldiers that Yan Guo can fight are not five times that of Zhao State. Temporary conscription, untrained soldiers on the battlefield is also a burden, and even drags down veterans. Your Majesty, Yan State does not have five times as many good soldiers as Zhao State! ”

Climbed the canal to the feet of King Yan and cried bitterly: "Your Majesty, don't! If you personally conquer Zhao State, you may be captured by Lian Po! That pair of Yan Kingdom is a disaster to destroy the country! ”

King Yan couldn't hold back the anger in his heart any longer, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and smashed it into Jiang Qu's head with the sword butt.

The courtiers of the Yan Kingdom heard a terrible scream, and the person with his head lowered raised his head and saw the gray-haired Jiangqu lying on his body, and the blood on his head and the tears on his face wet the ground.

The thin old man cried out in tears, and continued to crawl in the direction of King Yan on the ground with difficulty: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Yan Kingdom, please don't send troops!" Please don't send troops! ”

His voice was so sad that King Yan didn't look back and left the court.

There was a wail from the mouth of the ditch like a dying beast, as if the Yan Kingdom had perished before his eyes.

Lejian got up from the ground, rushed to Jiangqu's side, and shouted, "Imperial Doctor! Call the Imperial Doctor! ”

Most of the Yan Chens followed the King of Yan to leave, and only a small number of Yan Chen, who were not of high status, followed Le Jian to stand beside Jiang Qu, weeping and watching Jiang Qu cover the wound on his head and wail continuously.

Imperial Doctor Yan Guo quickly came over and stabilized Jiang Qu's injuries.

Jiang Qu opened his eyes and shed tears silently.

Lejian smiled bitterly: "Jiangqing, why are you bothering? ”

Jiang Qu said in a low voice: "The Yan Kingdom is about to perish, why do you ask me why?" ”

Rakuma smiled wryly.

Jiang Qu's vision was blurred by tears again, and from the blurred vision, he seemed to see General Le Yi who was on the march.

He remembered that he was standing in the crowd, and his face was full of pride, and he hugged his fists with General Le Yi to see him off.

King Yan Zhao and Yan Chen both sang the Book of Songs, and King Yan Zhao also played drums and made music himself. He craned his neck and sang, singing so hoarse that he didn't feel pain.

How happy the kings and ministers were at that time, and how powerful the Yan Kingdom was at that time.

"Perhaps...... The kingdom of Yan has long since died. "Jiang Qu said again.

His voice was so soft and light that he couldn't even hear it clearly.

In 259 BC, in February of the second year after the Battle of Changping, King Yan sent troops to attack the state of Zhao.

Lian Po was dressed in armor and stared indifferently ahead.

He pointed his whip forward: "Whether your family is starved to death depends on whether the sword in your hand is sharp enough. ”

"Break through the city of Yan Kingdom! Kill the people of Yan Kingdom! Snatch up the grain of Yan Country! Your family will survive! ”

"Come with me!!"

"Only !!" The morale of Zhao Bing was like a rainbow, like a group of hungry wolves, pressing towards the border of Yan State.

In March, Lian Polian broke the Yan army, and the Yan King fled back to Yandu in a hurry.

According to historical records, the Zhao army was brutal, attacking a city, slaughtering a city, killing, burning and looting, and the Yan country was mourning all over the wilderness.

In April, Lian Po surrounded Yandu. King Yan begged for peace, and Lian Po agreed, but he didn't ask for the city of Yan Kingdom, but asked Yan Kingdom to give an exaggerated amount of grain, and even the grain storage in King Yan's palace was reduced by half.

Not only that, Lian Po also let the Yan people work as coolies to transport grain. Along the way, countless Yan people starved to death and died of exhaustion.

After that, there was a famine in the country of Yan, and people were cannibalistic.

King Yan was frightened and depressed, and died in the second year (258 BC), nicknamed King Yan Wuer.

The queen of King Yan Wuer was the daughter of Empress Zhao Wei and King Zhao Huiwen. On the day of the death of King Yan Wuer, Yan Wuer hanged himself.

After this war, Lian Po became notorious, even more so than the slaughter of people.

Chapter 53: Grave Velvet Cotton

Zhu Xiang is not stupid. With the attitude of the people around him, he had already guessed the general situation. But he didn't say anything, and on the second day, he got up with a smile as usual, washed up, quarreled with his friends, was knocked on the head by Xunzi, and then went to Lin Xiangru's grave to say goodbye.

Zhu Xiang wanted to stay a few more days, but Xunzi urged him to leave, and Lin Zhen had to leave with him, even if it was for Lin Zhen, he couldn't stay for a long time.

Hurriedly worshipping and parting in a hurry, at the moment before parting, Zhu Xiang received the Lin Xiangru farewell gift that the system said in front of Lin Xiangru's tomb.

It was a seed that could only be described in words. Zhu Xiang can read out a seed that matches this description according to Lin Xiangru's last wish description.

The text description is not poetry or endowment, like an old man's casual chatter.

"It's cold this winter, so it would be nice if the common people could grow clothes in the fields that are as warm as their fur."

Zhu Xiang wanted to say that this sentence was a sick sentence. You can't grow clothes in the field, you can only grow raw materials for clothes.

The tombstones of the ancients only have words, and they are not engraved with photographs. Zhu Xiang's eyes naturally appeared in his eyes, Lin Gong was wearing a fur coat, standing under the eaves, and looking at the snow outside the house.

Lin Gong looked at the snowflakes and sighed: "It's very cold this winter, if only the common people could grow clothes that are as warm as their fur in the ground." ”

He hugged the stove and shrunk his neck, and said poorly: "Lin Gong, you can't grow clothes in the field, you can only grow cotton." ”

Zhu Xiang flipped his hand, and a handful of cotton seeds appeared in his hand.

The cotton seeds are very small, and the system did not deliberately make them bad, providing Zhu Xiang with "1,000 copies" of cotton seeds, and the maximum amount of cotton seeds sown in a seed pit is counted as one.

He now has in his hands the amount of cotton seeds.

"Lin Li, I have a seed here, and you ordered someone to plant it in front of Lin Cemetery."

"It's April, just in time for planting. Picked half a year later. ”

"I'll read you the methods of planting, picking and processing, and you can record them."

"It was winter when it was harvested, so you ordered someone to enshrine it in front of the Lin Cemetery and tell the ...... Lin Gong."

Zhu Xiang's voice paused for a while, and he clenched the seeds in his hand: "It's called cotton, and the specific classification is fine wool cotton." It can be spun into a softer and warmer cloth, and cotton can be filled in the cloth instead of fur to keep warm. It is...... The common people can grow clothes that are as warm as their fur in the field. ”

Lin Zhen looked at Zhu Xiang in shock.

When he said goodbye to his father that day, his father recited the words he had read this winter under the warm spring sun.

Zhu Xiang once said that maybe you can grow clothes as warm as fur in the field, if there are really ones.

Even if Father closed his eyes forever in the spring glow, he was still worried about the previous winter and the next winter before he closed his eyes.

How could Zhu Xiang know about his father's nagging before parting? Did you also know it from a dream?

Where did the seeds in Zhu Xiang's hands come from? At least Zhu Xiang must not have cotton seeds before leaving Zhao, otherwise he would have told himself a long time ago. And on the way to Qin, Zhu Xiang did not have the opportunity to look for seeds.

In fact, it was also strange for Zhu Xiang to suddenly take out potato seeds. Although Zhu Xiang found a reasonable excuse, Zhu Xiang's communication with the caravan was often shared with him, and suddenly a caravan that he didn't know gave Zhu Xiang seeds and left quickly, which was too strange.

It's just that they didn't ask, and took the initiative to help Zhu Xiang cover up, all as "this is normal".

"This is a seed that you and your father have been looking for for a long time and secretly cultivating for a long time, and I will dedicate it to the King of Qin after entering Qin. How do you write the word cotton? What does that mean? What will it look like? Tell me carefully. I'll draw it first and stay at home. Lin Zhen frowned.

"Okay." Zhu Xiang said, "I'll ask you in the future." ”

Lin Yi said: "Leave it to me." If Cai Ze's temperament remains the same, I will reveal it to Cai Ze. As for Xia Tong......"

Lin Zhen thought for a while and said, "You don't have to tell him, and you don't have to hide it from him, continue to deal with him with your flawed cover, he knows how to do it himself." ”

Even if the friendship is not reliable, the interests will be reliable. As long as Xia Tong will not be blinded by the beautiful concubine in the future and wants to abolish Zheng'er's heir position, then he will take the initiative to help Zhu Xiang cover it up, so that Zhu Xiang can use his magic with peace of mind.

Zhu Xiang: "It's not all flaws...... Well, indeed. ”

In fact, if he didn't come up with new seeds so often, he would be able to disguise it quite well. But anyway, everyone around him can be trusted, so he doesn't care too much. For Lin Gong and Lin Zhen, Zhu Xiang always has a fearless attitude of "I have a problem, you can do it".

After arriving in the Qin State, he really needed to discuss with Lin Zhen before taking out the seeds.

After Lin Zhen finished talking about business, he didn't ask about the origin of Zhu Xiang's seeds. He squeezed Zhu Xiang's shoulders and raised his eyebrows: "I exchange your cotton seeds for the title of merit, you won't be angry, right?" ”

Zhu Xiang was full of sentimentality, and was denied by Lin Zhen's strong tone.

He removed Lin Zhen's arm in disgust, bowed to Lin Gong, and announced to Lin in his heart. If Lin Gong can still hold dreams, he must give Lin Yi a few more dreams, and beat Lin Yi up in his dreams.

Without Lin Gong staring, he really didn't know what Lin Zhen would become when he arrived in the Qin Kingdom.

If Lin Zhen really learned from the group of famous men of the Wei and Jin dynasties, who were drunk and ran around without clothes, he would join Xia Tong to put Lin Zhen in prison and be sober.

Ah, why did Lin Zhen practice Lao Zhuang? It's good for you to practice Huang Lao!

Zhu Xiang suddenly remembered that Zhuangzi and King Zhao Huiwen talked about swords. Perhaps, Lin Zhen "went astray" at that time.

When Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen said goodbye to Lin Xiangru, Zichu went to Meng Wu to arrange for his return to Qin.

When Zichu returned, Zhu Xiang and Lin Zhen were falsifying cotton cultivation records.

Lin Zhen threw Zichu a pen and a roll of paper and asked Zichu to help make it old. Zichu was confused, but he still helped before asking.

"Father and Zhu Xiang have cultivated clothes that can be grown that are warmer than hemp, remember, it was my father and Zhu Xiang who cultivated them together." Lin Yi said, "You know King Qin better than we do, think about how to make King Qin believe." ”

Zichu: "? ”

Zichu: "! ”
