[Qin] Qin Shi

In the seventh year of Qin Wangzheng and Zhao Wangyan's fifth year, Qin State attacked Zhao and conquered the three cities of Zhao State.Those high-ranking and powerful people who were greedy for life and afraid of death began to advise Zhao Wangyan early on, and paid a lot of money to meet with Qin envoys to persuade the Qin army to withdraw troops.

This move hit the sore spot of those loyal ministers with patriotism. They yelled at these cowards, scolded them for their white-collar salaries but never did anything, scolded them for being ashamed of those soldiers who fought on the front line, scolded them They are greedy for life and afraid of death without the integrity of scholars.

And how can these hypocrites who are "for the sake of the overall situation" feel at ease to be scolded, they refuted that after the Changping War, the land in Zhao State was barren and no one cultivated, and the people were immersed in the grief of the slaughter of their relatives, and even today The shadow of Qin State still hangs over Zhao State.

For a while, Zhao Guochao hall was full of people coming and going, and it was very lively.

"It's to resist," Zhao Wangyan sat high in the court hall, looking at the messy farce below, "who can go there?" He asked in a low voice, not to let the noisy people The courtiers heard it, but just rightly let the servant beside him hear it clearly.

Since Lian Po ran away and Lin Xiangru died of illness, Zhao Guo seemed to have exhausted his country's fortune and talents in advance. Although there were many outstanding talents, there were very few younger generations who might be as powerful as Lian Po and Li Mu.Even if it is a civil servant, it is hard to see a talent like Lin Xiangru who is good at inside but can master outside.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help looking at the old officials left behind by the former king.He saw Li Mu who stood the most silent among the generals, and saw the generals around Li Mu who were so angry that they were spitting from their mouths—what if they knew that the former king wanted to leave the throne to Lord Chunping?

Zhao Yan was not the most favored child of the former king, and his position as the heir to King Zhao was not so secure.If it wasn't for the premature death of the crown prince, and the much-loved Lord Chunping was far away in Qin as a hostage, and he could not return in time when the late king was seriously ill.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yan had to firmly control the rights he could control, and did not dare to let the former king's old ministers and important officials be used again.If they knew that the former king had favored Chunping Jun, if they were more optimistic about Chunping Jun, then his position would be in danger.

But apart from the old ministers left behind by the previous kings, there are only a handful of people Zhao Wangyan can trust and who can lead an army alone.In recent years, Pang Nuan, who has replaced Lian Po and has been widely used, is the chief general defending the Yan State, and the rest have their own duties besides protecting him in Handan, and they cannot be easily transferred.

As for the veterans, regardless of whether they are central or not, Li Mu's deterrence to the northern barbarians is even greater, but he is not well-known among the Seven Kingdoms.What's more, what he is good at is mostly the battle between the cavalry on the grassland, and he is not so reassuring about the offense and defense between the infantry and the forest.

It would have been nice if Lian Po was still there. Seeing Li Mu standing in his old position and maintaining his silence to the end, Zhao Yan felt a twinkle of pity.If Lian Po had been obedient at the beginning and had properly handed over the power in his hands to Le Cheng instead of abandoning Zhao to Wei after killing Le Cheng, then with Lian Po's prestige, why would the Qin army not be afraid?

Guo Kai was the one who put Zhao Wangyan on the throne of Zhao Wang. As Zhao Guo’s version of Lu Buwei, his thoughts on Zhao Yan were naturally very clear: “Why doesn’t the king support Zhao Guo’s newcomers?” Non-aggressive, "Nowadays, the veteran is no longer as vigorous as before. Even if the king wants to use it, he can't use the old man who is old and sticks to the rules and has no fighting spirit."

"It's Lian Po, didn't he rely on the insight of the former king to get to the great reputation later." After speaking, Guo Kai changed the subject and began to flatter Zhao Yan calmly, "The king is still young. The trusted and important ministers still have to be trained by themselves, so that they will remember the king's kindness and be loyal to the king."

Zhao Yan glanced at Guo Kai: "I remember that there was a good news from the north a few days ago. The young general who led the army seems to be named Shu?" use.It's just that there have been small frictions between countries in the past few years, but there have been no major wars. Even if there are useful talents, it is difficult to take the lead.

"Your Majesty has a very good memory," Li said, flattering first, "I have also heard about that kid. After the supervisor came to report that the kid was a remnant who escaped from the Changping War in the past, his brother Xi He used to serve Lin Xiang. His uncle died in battle four years ago at the hands of the barbarians. "So the three generations are all from Zhao, so there is no need to doubt the center of the country's family. "Your Majesty likes him? Do you want to summon him?"

"Give him the surname of the country, seal Yanguan Lord, and let him immediately set off and return to the king's capital to be named." Whether you like it or not, you have to see it with your own eyes to judge.Thinking of this, Zhao Yan paused for a moment, thinking that just asking him to come back and be entrusted was not enough to express his importance to the other party: "Let's say that Gu Yuan is in the capital, and he cares about the food and clothing of the border soldiers, and wants to have a long talk with him all night. "

"Here." There are still quarrels between literati and generals under the court, but these have nothing to do with Guo Kai.At this moment, there is only one thing in his mind, a major event that may be related to his future authority - what can be done to stop Zhao Wangyan from using the savage way of his reckless background, and at the same time be wary of him?

"Ah chirp!" Bai Shu, who didn't know that his plan back then succeeded in making him the nephew of a farmer and brother of the Xi clan in the eyes of the group in Handan, covered his mouth and sneezed loudly.After sneezing, he rubbed his slightly red nose and muttered in a low voice: "Are there many people talking about this general today?"

[Probably those savages are nagging and wishing you to die soon. 】The system lazily replied, 【You robbed their two small tribes a few days ago, and they should have discovered it after some time.In the past few years, you have learned what they did in the past and constantly harassed them in reverse. Those people hate you so much. 】

'No way, poor. Bai Shu felt bald when he thought that the storehouse was not a "plump" so far, "Now the iron is not enough to make a few sets of shields and knives."Why is it Cang Yun? If it's a plan, I'll just use the spear in Bald's hand instead of a shield. Be careful not to damage it too badly, or it will cost a lot of money. '

【Heh, I have a method of making steel and forging iron, but I don't have a method of making horses for you out of thin air. ] The system mocked.

"I can't help it," Bai Shu raised his eyebrows when he saw the smiling face of the lieutenant beside him: "How is it?"

"Great harvest, General." He was obviously a decade older than Bai Shu, but the man was full of admiration for this young man who was as old as his own child, "It's just as the general expected. The cattle captured today Sheep, brothers, it's another good feast." There was still wet blood on his face, but the man didn't care, and his smile was quite bright.

"That's the same as before. Let go of those women and children, don't keep the young and strong ones. Keep half of the cattle and sheep and row them to the west field, let them raise them well, no matter whether it's farming or extra food." Bai Shumi Squinting his eyes, he recalled the scene when they rushed into the tribe, "How about Billy, a young man in this village?"

As Bai Shu's lieutenant general, the man has already understood the novel words that often come out of Bai Shu's mouth: "One to three, it seems that some of the young and strong are not in the tribe. Do you want to send someone here to investigate?"

[Looks like you guessed well. 】The system let out an oh, and expressed its surprise at the right time,【They are really planning to rally to deal with you. 】

"No need." After counting the tribes he had traveled in the past few days, Bai Shu had an idea in his mind, "Tell those boys, take all you can take away, and before the winter war comes, we will nest I can't come out in the pass." He was about to wipe his face, but saw the blood stains on his hands, and he clicked his tongue and waved to the lieutenant general.

"Yes! No, don't even think about it, General." The first sentence was a response to the military order, and the second sentence was a gesture of waving to Bai Shu, "This subordinate is also very dirty, General, you are the cleanest one." Pulling his armor covered with mud and black and red bloodstains during the past few days, "There is water in the tent, you can just go and take a shower."

"Will you boil water for me?" Bai Shu sneered, "Then when it's half burned, move the guy away?"

The lieutenant general raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender: "This is wronging my subordinates. The last time I came out with the general, I obviously benefited from this kid, but I am not a subordinate. Even if it is a blame, the general should not let the subordinates come down to blame you." , Those who are bad have to settle one by one, the general will go back and find them to settle the score."

Bai Shu rolled his eyes, touched the clothes casually, and began to rejoice that Cang Yun's clothes were black—well, Tiance's red robe is not so pretty at this time: "Hurry up, find A smarter sentry, still the same, dug out a clearing, and set it all ablaze."

"Yes!" The lieutenant reversed his previous attitude of laughing and joking, and quickly raised his chest and stood at attention, responding to Bai Shu's order with a loud voice.After seeing Bai Shu waved to him to signal him to retreat, he turned around and trotted to deliver the military order.

[This is the master of tigers and wolves.] After Bai Shu was free again, the system recalled Zhao Jun’s decisive and quick actions when he raided the barbarian tribes, and exclaimed, [It seems that our results are still very good, this group of people Your bloodiness has been trained by you. 】

Compared with the confused and decadent faces of every household in the border when they first arrived at the border, today's border has a completely new look: "It should have been done a long time ago," Bai Shu looked at his dirty hands with disgust, and finally gave up I put the idea of ​​whistling on my lips, "In some respects, I have to thank Zhao Yan. '

If he hadn't shortened the food and wages at the border customs in order to get angry with Lin Xiangru and Lian Po back then, his and the system's plan would not have come true so easily.

The system laughed out loud. It doesn't remember that when Bai Shu put forward the policy of 'using the barbarians to control the barbarians' and even leading the team himself, he was the one who opposed him the most: [When we go back, do you have any plans? 】

'plan? Bai Shu found Zaoma who was stealing horse grass. A few years later, the little Zaoma had already grown to be as tall and mighty as his father.It is this greedy character who does not know who he is with, and he is not missing anything on weekdays. As long as he is not paying attention, he will be hooked by delicious food without a trace.

With a headache, Bai Shu watched the little soldiers guarding the food and grass hurriedly salute him, his eyes were swollen with admiration and longing.On the other hand, the familiar old soldier who was feeding the horse had an expression of 'what a coincidence, General', and hid the half-eaten horse grass behind him: "He's going to be so fat that he can't run anymore."

"But if you don't have enough to eat, he can't drag the little general's heavy armor." The veteran who has raised horses all his life doesn't think there is any problem at all, "Even if you don't increase the shield, little general, your Mo Dao is heavy enough It's over." Seeing Bai Shu's helpless expression, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, little general, he was born by me, and I took care of him and brought him up. I know this kid very well."

"All right, all right." For this veteran who is very good at raising horses, what else can Bai Shu do, "As usual, this time you choose a good breed of horse first, and keep it as a battle horse or a stallion. You decide." As he was talking, Zao Ma put his head to Bai Shu's side when he saw his master coming, and snorted before touching Bai Shu.

Then he quickly turned his head away, his dislike for the pungent smell on Bai Shu's body can be regarded as beyond words.

"There's nothing you can do if you dislike me, Huizao." Bai Shu rubbed his dirty hands on Aiqi's mane, and saw that there was a black and red mark that was out of place on his maroon mane. , "I also dislike the taste of this body, but do you think you can be better than me now?"

The author has something to say: Okay, the adult version of Bai Shu is here, is Brother Zheng still far behind?

Explain who Chunping Lord is. Zhao Mourning King Zhao Yan was able to succeed to the throne, firstly because his father's crown prince died early, but because his father's second favorite child, Chunping Lord, was a hostage in Qin State, and his father died. At that time, Chunping Jun had not returned to Handan, so with the help of Guo Kai, he became the king of Zhao-this also caused Chunping Jun who returned to Zhao State to be very dissatisfied, and turned around to work as a spy for Qin State.

(Yes, that's why Brother Zheng appeared in Zhao State)
