This is not an exaggeration. Many peasants only pay taxes blindly, and have changed dynasties several times, and their descendants still think that they are in the previous dynasty.

Lian Po and Li Mu were puzzled as to why so many people knew that they had left the Zhao Kingdom.

The fact is, of course, that Cai Ze led the people to tell them. But the Zhao people didn't know that someone would actually use a discord trick on their group of civilians, and they thought they were telling the truth and said, "Of course we know, because we have always been worried about Lian Gong and Li Gong who saved us. ”

Actually, this is not a lie. The affairs of the Yan Kingdom and the affairs of the Xiongnu, even if they are closed to the news, because they need to recruit soldiers, they all know it. Therefore, they were indeed asking the people around them and the traveling merchants for the news of Lian Po and Li Mu.

They care about Lian Po and Li Mu from the bottom of their hearts. Cai Ze just told them the news they cared about.

Lian Po and Li Mu heard their answers, and they didn't sleep well for several nights.

When they opened their eyes the next day, they silently hurried while training their troops with all their might to deal with the pursuing Zhao army.

Fortunately for them, even if they passed by Zhao Jun's camp, Zhao Jun didn't seem to notice that there were many more commoners in this group of Qin people, and directly let them go.

Lian Po and Li Mu originally thought that they were afraid of the Qin people, but later when someone secretly gave away grain and grass and half-scrapped weapons, they understood something in their hearts.

When they first understood, the two of them were inevitably angry in their hearts.

What these Zhao Jun did was not only dereliction of duty, but could even be said to be collaborating with the enemy.

But after the anger, they found that they did not have an angry position. for these common people are departing with them.

Lou slowly said to himself: "This is what the Confucian said, people's hearts are scattered?" ”

Lian Po was so angry that he raised his fist to beat Lou Yan.

Although Lou Yan's legs and feet are inconvenient, the speed of escape is not slow. He muttered as he ran away, "Why can't you listen to the truth?" Why don't you beat up the culprit of King Zhao? ”

Lian Po was so angry that he ate three more bowls of rice than usual.

Lou Xuan was shocked by Lian Po's amount of food. He suspected that he had made a mistake in his judgment, and maybe Lian was still not old and could still fight for King Qin.

Ah, after doing this and satisfying his wish, he shouldn't be called the king of Qin in private, he should be called the king.

Lou Xuan was very glad that he had a king like King Qin, and thought that he could die a good death in the Qin Kingdom.

It was only after arriving in the Sanzhi area that the Qin delegation was attacked.

Although the nations do not care about these wildernesses, there are many bandits entrenched in them.

Originally, the bandits didn't have the courage to rob the car of the Qin State Mission, but when they saw that there were many old and weak women and children in the Qin State Mission, they thought that they could rob these common people's things, and the Qin soldiers might be too busy to take care of themselves.

As long as they robbed the things and escaped into the mountains and forests, even the notorious Qin army could not do anything about them.

They never expected that in this mediocre Qin State delegation, there were two of the most powerful generals of the Zhao State today.

Even after less than a month, Lian Po and Li Mu have already trained a soldier who can fight. These recruits could easily defeat the bandits even with wooden sticks tied to stones, not to mention that they also had semi-discarded weapons secretly given by Zhao Jun in their hands.

Lian Po and Li Mu marched all the way towards Changping, repelling the bandits. When they arrived at Changping, the soldiers in their hands were already quite bloody, which frightened the Qin army on the border.

"I've seen General Lian, I've seen General Li." Changping guarded Bo Fu hugged his fists and said, "This, this is to bring Zhao Jun?!" ”

Lian Po was puzzled: "Who are you?" ”

Boff: "...... General, you've seen me more than once!"

"Ahem......" Li Mu smiled, "I remember you, you often take Zheng'er to play." Why are you here? ”

Bo Fu said: "I used to be a member of the Changping Zhao army led by General Lian, and later ......"

He paused and said truthfully: "I killed Zhao Kuo and defected to the Qin State. ”

Lian Pohu was suspicious: "Zhao Kuo was killed by you?" Didn't he die in battle? ”

Boff said, "I killed it." ”

Lian Po touched his beard and looked Boff up and down.

Böve knelt down. He knew that as a soldier of Zhao State, killing General Zhao must be a big crime. General Lim would definitely blame him.

"So, it's also true that Zhao Kuo caused Zhao Jun to mutiny?" Lian Po asked.

"It's true," Boff. ”

Lian Po said: "He said that if he can return to Zhao State, he will kill Zhu Xiang, is it true?" ”

Even now, when it comes to this incident, Boff's face can't hide his anger: "It's true! ”

Lian Po bowed slightly: "He deserves to die." ”

When Zhu Xiang returned to Handan, he saved enough face for Zhao Kuo, saying that Zhao Kuo was killed in battle. However, it was later rumored that Zhao Kuo was actually killed by Zhu Xiang or Zhao Jun. Zhu Xiangcai was imprisoned for this.

Boff looked up in surprise.

Lian Po frowned: "You are now General Qin, what are you kneeling to me?" Stand up. ”

Lou slowly interjected: "Lian Po, you are also a Qin general now, and you will be his peak in the future, what's wrong with him kneeling on your knees?" It's right to kneel. ”

Lian Po: "......"

He drew his sword.

Lou Xuan moved behind Li Mu very skillfully, and said, "Lian Gong asked you to stand up, didn't you hear?" ”

Li Mu: "......" He was really worried that before entering Xianyang, Lou Chu would be killed by Lian Gong.

Böve did not dare to get up.

"Get up!" Lian Po kicked Bofu lightly, "I remember, did you say that you killed Zhao Kuo for Zhu Xiang to return to Handan?" ”

Bove got up and clenched his fists: "Yes." ”

Lian Po said: "It's quite affectionate and righteous. Tell me about Changping. ”

Boff's voice was louder: "Yes! ”

He was thrilled. In addition to Zhu Xianggong, he admires Gong Lin and Gong Lian the most. I didn't expect Lian Gong to also enter Qin!

Bai Qi admired Bofu very much, not only gave him the credit for killing Zhao Kuo, but also went to Handan to save Zhu Xiang in order to repay the credit. And because Bofu was a defender of Changping and was very familiar with the Changping generation, the king of Qin appointed him as the defender of Changping.

Although Zhu Xiang did not come to the fiefdom, the King of Qin intended to test Zhu Xiang's governance ability, so Changping's annual policy took Zhu Xiang's opinions into account.

In addition, Zhu Xiang returned almost all the shares he had collected from Changping to Changping, and Changping's infrastructure and water conservancy facilities have been greatly developed. In just one year, Changping has already recovered.

After Lian Po heard what Zhu Xiang did, he couldn't help but support his forehead.

Although he has only been crowned king for a short time, he has already had a fief, so he knows the taxes of the fief very well.

The tax system of the fief is what later generations called the "package tax system", the monarch gives a tax amount, and the owner of the fief only needs to give the full amount of this tax, and the excess part is the money of the fief owner himself.

The king of Qin was very generous to Zhu Xiang and promised not to ask Changping for taxes for five years. Changping's taxes were all Zhu Xiang's money.

Zhu Xiang did collect taxes, and then transferred all the taxes to Changping, all of which were used to restore Changping's productivity.

I am afraid that no county has so much money at its disposal, which makes the officials of Changping excited and frightened.

Lian Po was puzzled: "Zhu Xiang doesn't take Changping's money, how can he support Zheng'er?" ”

Böve shook his head: "I don't know about this." "How does he know about Xianyang?

Lian Po looked at Lou Yan.

Lou said slowly: "I don't know much about Xianyang. ”

Lian Pohu was suspicious: "You don't know about Xianyang?" ”

Lou Shu smiled: "I know more about Zhao Guo's affairs." ”

Damn it! Lian Po drew his sword again.

Li Mu hurriedly blocked in front of Lou Yan and said, "Maybe King Qin gave Zhu Xiang a lot of extra things, and Zhu Xiang may think that the money is enough for him to support his family." ”

Lian Po scolded: "It's no problem to raise himself, does he think that Zheng'er is still just a proton like in Handan!" Zheng'er is the son of Qin, how can he be shabby when traveling? ”

Li Mu: "...... Zheng'er probably doesn't need much money either? ”

Lian Po: "You fart!" ”

Li Mu: "......" Lian Gong is really like an old man who dotes on his grandson too much and is unreasonable.

"Lian Gong, don't worry, Xia Tong is responsible for Zheng'er's food, clothing and travel." Cai Ze walked out of the crowd, "Lian Gong, Li Mu, long time no see." ”

Lian Po frowned: "You didn't go back to Qin?" ”

Cai Ze smiled and said, "This is the Qin Kingdom. I have just received an edict from the King of Qin appointing me as the county guard of Changping, please feel free to go to Xianyang. ”

Lian Po and Li Mu suddenly felt a little blocked in their hearts.

Although they encountered several waves of bandits and delayed time, how could Cai Ze become the county guard of Changping so quickly? Could it be that the King of Qin is really an unpredictable prophet?

Chapter 73: King Qin's Mind Counting

Although during the reign of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the Qin State waged many wars against the Three Jins, making the Qin State appear to have become the enemies of the Three Jins. In fact, from the time when the three families were divided, the biggest enemies of the three Jin were each other.

Wei, Han, and Zhao all wanted to inherit all the "inheritance" of the Jin state, and they fought against each other since the founding of the country. But they are also nobles from the same country, and they have been married to each other for many generations. Therefore, when they were fighting against each other, they left room for each other, and they could have annexed each other and withdrew for various reasons.

This kind of pulling and pulling, many scholars think that the monarchs of the Three Kingdoms have room for the enemy and are very aristocratic. But for the people of the intersection of the three Jins, it is a huge disaster and suffering, like meat in the blade of a constantly seesawing knife.

Changping is the confluence of several rivers and there are large alluvial plains between the valleys. Alluvial plains are known to produce thriving economies. In later generations, these places were also important grain producing areas. Because of the war, this place has almost become a wilderness.

When the Battle of Changping ended, because the Qin State actually spared hundreds of thousands of Zhao soldiers, Wei and Korea thought that the Qin State was at ease and did not dare to fight the Qin State's idea, and acquiesced to the Qin State's control of the Shangdang Heights.

In the original history, Bai Qi's killing of prisoners not only made the people of Zhao State, who had been war-torn and almost numb, give birth to a deep hatred for a certain country for the first time, but also made his country see that the Qin army was at the end of its strong crossbow.

Everyone knows that although the Qin army will kill prisoners, there is only one possibility to kill the soldiers who have surrendered by deception, that is, the Qin State not only cannot afford to raise so many young strong forces, but also cannot control so many young strong forces.

The Spring and Autumn Warring States War lasted for hundreds of years, the population of the world decreased sharply, and all countries lacked labor.

How many prisoners of war the Qin State can convert into its own labor force can be seen how powerful the Qin State is now.

Therefore, after Bai Qi killed the prisoners, he asked to attack Handan immediately. He knew that it was impossible to destroy the Zhao State, but after he captured the Zhao State Handan, the Qin State would be able to sign a contract with the Zhao State, weaken the Zhao State even more, strengthen the Qin State, and also make other countries misestimate the combat power of the Qin State and not dare to act rashly.

In the Battle of Changping, in fact, Qin and Zhao were almost defeated. Bai Qi could not allow other countries to take the opportunity to attack Qin.

However, although Bai Qi failed to let King Qin attack Handan, the monarchs of other countries were not as smart as Bai Qi imagined, and they actually kept holding on to it, which made Bai Qi very relieved.

If Qin Guo had recuperated and managed the Shangdang Heights well, he would have been able to turn the Shangdang Heights into his own, and his worries would not have come true.

Who knew that the King of Qin suddenly made a stupid mistake, attacked Zhao on a whim, and bit this battle that was bound to be lost. No matter how stupid other monarchs are, they will seize this opportunity.

After the Battle of Handan, the Qin State lost all the land of the Three Jin Dynasty that had been occupied for many years and was beaten to Hangu Pass. King Qin Zhaoxiang changed from a male lord to a joke.
