Emperor Qin

The king thought quietly all night.

There was a slight touch in my heart, but more firmness.

Now that he is in power, the Qin State currently has the Empress Dowager Huayang as its backer, and the Chu Clan headed by Lord Changping is the most powerful. Then there are the foreign ministers of the Li Si Weiliao faction he supported, and the last faction is the military aristocrats of the Qin State.

He was born to be an emperor, and the three factions were balanced and played with great proficiency. Li Si's faction had no foundation and could only be reused by him. Huanyu, Yang Duanhe and others were generals he supported, and Lord Changping was suppressed to the same level as himself. He couldn't hold his head up, and he could calmly eradicate the influence of Chu's influence on the court as soon as the old queen Huayang left.

So... among them, there is nothing related to the common people. They can just pay food and serve with peace of mind. They have not made any mistakes in attacking the six countries.

What Ajiang is worried about is after the world is unified.

It's still early, and although some planning is needed, it's not the most important thing.

……

But A Jiang's kindness could not be refused. The next day, after he and A Jiang finished the hand-to-hand fight, he lay on the table to communicate, and would ask about basic social knowledge. Jiang discusses the strategy of governing the country.

Yan Jiang thought for a while, and drew a big cake for King Qin: "Your Majesty wants to unify the world, but has he thought about unifying the hearts of the people?"

Qin Wangzheng raised his head to look at him, and said softly, "Sir, you can teach me."

"The king's power is bestowed by the gods, and ethics is the law of the king, and he obeys the destiny, lightly shakes the gift, and wins the hearts of the people, what should we do?" Yan Jiang thought about what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did later, and directly used it as the wrong topic. "The emperor is the son of heaven, and the emperor governs the world. It is the law of heaven. If the emperor governs the world unscrupulously, there will be disasters and famines everywhere. Seeing the benevolence and love of the heart of heaven, he wants to stop the chaos..."

King Qin's eyes lighted up slightly, and he understood A Jiang's meaning almost instantly. The important affairs of the country are sacrifices and military affairs. Sacrifice is the leader, and the ancestors are the legal source of power. However, in the Spring and Autumn Period, no country can find a noble bloodline In fact, Qin's bloodline really doesn't have a lot of background, but if the source is replaced by a gift from heaven, it will instantly be different from the other six countries.

As for Ah Jiang’s claim that the king’s poor governance will lead to disasters and he will be deprived of his legitimacy by the heavens. It should be because he wants to persuade the widows and educate the people under his rule to be loyal to the king and love the country. This is a long-term plan, not a temporary achievement...

This has a Confucian style, but Ah Jiang's way of governing is finally a little green. He knows the world's affairs, but he doesn't know the trade-offs, and he doesn't think what he thinks...

The corners of King Qin's lips were slightly curved, and he nodded in agreement as he watched A Jiang thinking hard about explaining.

He pretended not to know what to do on many issues and repeatedly discussed them.

But managing the world doesn't seem to be A Jiang's strong point, and he can be overwhelmed by many questions, and he likes the appearance of thinking hard.

He also wrote down the questions that he couldn't answer, and wanted to visit the market in person, saying that he wanted to investigate.

Qin Wangzheng is more and more satisfied with his current life, and it can be said that he has new expectations every day.

……

In the following days, Yan Jiang was still wandering in Puyang, leading His Majesty around, and Puyang was still trembling under the iron hooves of the Qin army.

Finally, more than ten days later, King Qin needed to drive to Xianyang to end his trip to Henan.

The people of Puyang were all delighted, and even the sad faces of the common people were full of ravine smiles.

Yan Jiang really took His Majesty, who had just taken a lunch break, for a walk around, to let him know how unlikable he is.

His Majesty said to this, "How do you know the ambition of a few people in the mere army, it is enough if you like Ajiang."

Yan Jiang fell into deep thought, did he know when he said he liked King Qin?

no?

However, on the day when King Qin was about to set off, a major event happened.

Prince Dan left the ship privately, disguised himself as a servant, and pretended to be a palace man, escaping from the control of the Qin army.

King Qin Dasuo inside and outside of Puyang, for a while, Dongjun was flying like dogs and dogs. Fortunately, because of the strict supervision of Prince Dan, he reported it immediately after the guards found something wrong. The Shanban of the Yellow River ferry was brought back by Meng Yi.

After Yan Jiang heard about this, he quietly went to watch. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Qin Wangzheng standing above Dan, staring at Prince Dan who was sitting down and pressed down like a prisoner, and calmly said: "The prince left suddenly. But Qin State’s hospitality is not good? If so, you can tell me in detail.”

He stretched his neck slightly, and said leisurely: "The widow will definitely decide for you."

The irony of that appearance made Yan Jiang feel that if he were Prince Dan, he would definitely go up and beat him violently, even Huahua couldn't stop him.

Prince Dan, who was at the bottom of the steps, was in a state of embarrassment. He was wearing a rough linen jacket that was still stained with water, and his hairpin was in a mess. Against his gentle, handsome but painful face, he was very pitiful. He kowtowed to the King of Qin almost pleadingly. : "Dan concedes defeat and admits defeat, and is willing to return. I ask the king to look at my old friends in the past, and let me return to the country. I beg the king."

"Since that's the case, it's imperative to return to the country..." Qin Wangzheng said here, slowly slowing down his speech, and sneered slightly in Yan Dan's expectant eyes, "Just make the crow turn white and the horse grow horns, the prince—— You can go back to your country."

After saying that, under the angry eyes of Prince Dan who almost roared "Zhao Zheng!", he got up calmly, walked to Yan Jiang, and stretched out his hand proudly.

Yan Jiang walked out of the palace holding the king's arm with a smile, and asked gossipingly, "Do you have any grudges?"

Qin Wangzheng seemed to be in a much happier mood: "No, but he disobeyed my good intentions, so he is proud to give some lessons."

Yan Jiang thinks so too, Qin Wang wants face so much, Yan Zhao has already slapped him for talking about cooperation, and he has nowhere to vent his anger, Yan Dan came over without winking and said that he would leave, Qin Wang held him for a few days to get angry In the end, he ran away quietly, no wonder King Qin was unhappy.

"Then what are you going to do with him?" Yan Jiang asked curiously again.

"Get acquainted for a while, just reduce the cost, and just bring it back to Xianyang, what else can he do?" Seeing A Jiang coming over on his own initiative, King Qin's mood became brighter, and he put Yan Dan behind him, "It's you, but Want to return to Xianyang with me?"

Yan Jiang thought about it for a while, with a slightly hesitant expression on his face. He wanted to drop by Qi and Wei, but the king recently acted as if he could listen to a little bit of words. If he left, it might be a failure.

Qin Wang saw that his heart was shaken, and smiled and said: "Don't worry about it, I will wait for your return in Xianyang."

Yan Jiang frowned slightly, and finally shook his head with a light smile and said, "It's not a big deal, let's go again next year."

One more year, the promotion of species in Qin land is completed, the school is on the right track, and if the king loves the people a little more, he can almost travel around the world with peace of mind.

At that moment, King Qin's heart was full of joy, and he clasped his five fingers with his backhand and tightened his grip.

Seeing that he was so happy, Yan Jiang didn't tell him. Another reason was that Zhang Cang wrote to say that Huahua's Northeast wife was about to give birth... After all, they were two kinds of tigers, so he didn't feel relieved to go back and see.

The big Siberian tiger didn't survive, it was sick, as a wild Siberian tiger, it couldn't get used to this square inch of land, and Yan Jiang didn't dare to say that the tiger was released into the wild - at this time, the tiger really wanted to eat people of.

There is no tiger birth care here. When Yan Jiang returned to the Huyuan, the big tiger gave birth to two cubs smoothly. When Yan Jiang was relieved, he found that it had no placenta. Yan Jiang wanted to go to help it, but almost Caught to death... The placenta with sufficient blood vessels caused heavy bleeding, but even so, the tiger still had sharp eyes and murderous aura, and would bite and kill all creatures that approached.

Yan Jiang was not drugged, and tried to feed him water soaked in anesthetics, but was overturned. He could only watch it get weaker and weaker, and finally fell down under the soft cry of the little tiger.

He wiped the two little tigers clean, feeling a little regretful that Huahua shouldn't have bred them. Being lonely is just as good as being lonely. Since Huahua is such a big tiger, he should go find a tiger by himself.

The king of Qin couldn't understand A Jiang's brain circuit, what kind of pest is a big worm, and it's a good thing to kill ten or a hundred, so what's there to be sad about?

Of course, he won't say it, he will only give A Jiang convenience in various ways, and will communicate with A Jiang more in the name of watching the tiger, as an adjustment to the daily toil of state affairs.

Time passed quickly, after the Qin army returned home to work on the harvest in summer and autumn, in October, the king of Qin conscripted again.

In the autumn of the 11th year of Qin Wangzheng, Qin general Huanju sent [-] troops from the well in the middle of Taihang, went east to Shangdang, went straight into the hinterland of Zhao State, and captured Yi'an, the important city in the north of Zhao State, and pushed into Feilei City.

Feilei City has the key ferry of the Hutuo River. This river runs through the north and south of Zhao State from east to west. Once this place is occupied by the Qin army, relying on the dangerous position of Taihang Mountain and the natural danger of Tuo River, Zhao State is divided into north and south. Li Mu's cavalry If you can't go south to rescue Handan, you can be eaten calmly by Qin.

Qin Wangzheng's vision was very precise. Once Feilei City was captured, Qin State could concentrate all its strength to fight a war of annihilation with Zhao State. This time, he didn't want a city. Quickly, this important place can be taken before Zhao Guo has no reaction.

At this critical moment, Zhao Wangqian's envoy ran to death more than a dozen horses, and within three days he sent an order to Li Mu in Daijun, asking him to go south to rescue.

The folk customs in the north of Zhao State are tough, and the semi-nomadic folk customs allow them to fight on horseback. So in less than half a month, they summoned [-] cavalry and went south to serve the king. They gathered near Yi'an City and confronted the Qin army.

But the outcome of this battle was something neither Qin nor Zhao expected.

A month later, King Qin received a battle report from afar.

The Qin army was defeated, but fortunately Wang Jian came to meet him at Jingjing. Most of the remaining [-] defeated troops fled back, and General Huanju was nowhere to be found.

This was the first major defeat for the King of Qin since he was in power. Zhao Guo, who was always in the way of not giving face, once again showed his existence in front of the Lord of Qin, making it extremely difficult for King Qin to step down.

Qin Wangzheng sat quietly for an entire hour after seeing the battle report, then got up indifferently and went to the side hall, dragged A Jiang who was feeding the cub out of the two milk tigers, and had a big fight, even Yan Jiang was almost thrown off by him turn.

Soon, more and more news came from afar, and the details of Huanjuan's defeat were revealed one by one.

Yan Jiang comforted the king well, and made him a sand table, the sand table near Taihang Mountain and Zhao State, and analyzed the reasons for the defeat with King Qin on the sand table.

The two of them learned the demeanor of Li Mu, a famous general of the Warring States Period. It turned out that after the confrontation between the two monarchs, Li Mu did not provoke the Qin army with high morale, but built a fort not far from Feilei, pretending that I want to fight a protracted war with you No matter how provocative Ren Huanju was, he would not go out.

But Huan Yu didn't bring much food and grass, and felt that he couldn't eat with Zhao on Zhao's territory, so he wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, leaving more than 1 logistics soldiers in the camp, and took more than 7 main forces to fight Feilei City.

After Li Mu found out about this, he was really lured out of the cave, but he didn't act according to Huanjuan's intention. Instead of leading troops to rescue Feicheng, he led people to copy the camp of the Qin army with only more than 1 people left behind. , Cut off all the food and the Qin army's retreat together.

After Huanjuan found out, he immediately led his troops back to rescue him, wanting to get back the food and grass, but he fell into Li Mu's trap. The Qin army was defeated. General Huanju rushed out of the siege with his own soldiers and was separated from the army.

Seeing that the entire army was about to be annihilated, Wang Jian arrived in time with his troops and attacked the Zhao army from the rear. Li Mu couldn't tell the number of the Qin army for a while after repeated battles.

It turned out that Li Mu had long judged that after the defeat of the Qin army, a large number of stragglers would return to Qin from the nearest well, so he sent troops to the well in advance to block the Qin army's retreat. Wang Jian was sent to guard the pass with the remaining 7000 of the [-] troops. None of Li Mu's cavalry escaped under Wang Jian's hands, but was forced to reveal the details of Li Mu's battle.

Who is Wang Jian, the greatest hero of Qin's destruction of the six kingdoms? He immediately concluded that the Qin army was in trouble and led troops to support him. .

At this time, most of the Qin army was in despair. Suddenly, strange soldiers fell from the sky, their morale was greatly shaken, and they fought back one after another, finally saving the situation. At this point, Wang Jian collected the Long army and retreated to the well. main force.

This is luck among misfortunes. If the main army of [-] is wiped out, Qin will have to wait at least three years before it can replenish its troops if it wants to organize another army.

This was the first time Qin Wangzheng had tasted failure in his life. He was moody and angry for several days. Continue to summarize and collect information from all parties.

There is still no news about Huan Jue, and it is almost certain that he died in battle, but Zhao Jun has not found the head of Huan Jue, the Qin general, so there is still a chance of survival, but at this moment, two super heart-wrenching news came again .

The "Qin people" who sold paper saw Huan Juan in Yan State, so they stepped forward to inquire. It turned out that he thought that Li Mu would definitely cut off the Qin army's way back to the west, so he took a few remnants of the army and fled eastward all the way. The land of Yan wants to return to Qin from Yan.The Qin people heard the words and let him return to Qin, but he hesitated and refused to leave, thinking that he was worried that the king of Qin would punish him-but the defeated general did not dare to return to the country, which is simply adding to the crime.

Another piece of news is that Zhao Wangqian granted Li Mu the title of "Wu'an Lord"!

Those who are in Wu'an, rule the world with martial arts, and have prestige in the country.It is the highest award for military achievements in the Warring States Period. Only two people have received it in the past hundreds of years, one is Bai Qi and the other is Su Qin.Now there is another Li Mu, who still uses Qin Guo as the pedal.

Qin Wangzheng put down the news very calmly this time, and sat in front of the sand table with a natural demeanor, without distinguishing between emotions and anger.

Yan Jiang was about to say that this bone is not easy to chew, so he just changed it.

But seeing the King of Qin staring at the Taihang Mountain thousands of miles away, he said with his hands behind his back: "A Jiang, if I send out 40 troops, and the South, North, and Central troops are divided into three groups to attack Zhao Guo together, how many armies do you think Li Mu can stop?"
