Chapter 402: Time is ruthless, Heaven and Earth Hwan (3)

Two days later, outside Chencang City, beside the Wei River.

The crowd was crowded and gathered on the river bank. Qin Jun, who had just grown up, was about to worship Hebo.

Ximen Bao of Wei State had abolished the bad habit of worshiping Hebo, but there were people in Qin State in this fashion, so this habit remains the same. Even the Qin Duke had sacrificed Hebo with his daughter and sister in order to prevent the Wei River from flooding.

When Qin Jun ascended the throne, he was only ten years old, and he has only just grown up.

This year, Wei and Chu started war again. Zheng State discovered its own danger. This time, he stood on the side of Chu State, but he did not expect that the Wei people would occupy the sour jujube, and the Chu people were defeated again.

The Marquis of Wei, who had become a prince attack, transferred Wu Qi, who had been in Xihe for more than ten years, back to the capital. The newly-adult Qin Gong felt that this was an opportunity. Taking advantage of Wu Qi's absence in Xihe and Wei Chu's war again, he opened up a situation for the things that the Qin king had not done even though he wanted to do, so he sent troops to attack Wei.

However, although Wu Qi left, the Wu soldiers were still there. In the battle of Wangcheng, 30,000 Qin people stained the Luo River with blood.

A few years ago, there were earthquakes again, the Guo Mountains collapsed, blocking the Yellow River. There were many rumors that the Wei people did not sacrifice to Hebo. Aftershocks continued in recent years, and there were heavy rains in the Wei River. When Qin Gong, who ascended the throne, was defeated by Wangcheng, he thought about sacrificing Hebo in order to make good weather this year and not have any problems.

The priests of Wu Zhu, drum and music guards, and the Qin people who watched the ceremony all gathered by the Wei River. The woman who was about to be sacrificed was frightened. Wu Zhu could not help but comfort her, and only said that she would marry He Bo, seek profit for the Qin people and die as much as possible.

Nie Zheng squeezed forward with his strong body. Looking at this ugly scene, he knew both the matter of Yecheng and the Mo family's rule of Wu Zhu in Pei County, and he couldn't help but feel disdainful.

He didn't know that although he was not very willing to listen to his old friends' "righteousness", the Mo family's righteousness was like a ball of ink, falling into the water, gradually melting, moistening things silently. So he rejected Yan Zhongzi and hoped to be Shengchuo.

After all, it was because of the understanding of "righteousness", which gradually became a little different in his heart.

At this time, Princess Qin, Nie Zheng touched the two bombs in the skin behind him, confirmed that the fuse in the bamboo tube was still burning, and secretly observed the situation.

Since he decided to take action, he did not think about a way out. The only thing he was worried about was that he could not succeed in assassination, so he did not fulfill his vow. It was just that the five mountains were light, life and death were nothing, and not fulfilling his friend's instructions was a shame.

After selecting the location for the raid, Nie Zheng covered his hood down, pushed away the person in front, and selected an excellent assassination position.

This place is only a hundred feet away from Qin Gong. If two bombs are thrown out, they can be assassinated immediately.

He was about to take action when he suddenly heard the girls in front who were about to be sent to the Wei River as the He Bofu crying loudly, and the crying made people heartbreaking.

Nie Zheng showed an unseen tenderness on his lips. He thought of his sister's children. At that time, the wheat flour from the Mo family had just been transmitted to the vicinity of the house. The child of his sister's family cried and begged his uncle to buy wheat cakes. He cried at that time but the crying sounds were almost the same as the crying now. However, shortly after that crying, the sister's children ate wheat cakes, but the girls in front of him were about to be thrown into the river.

The parents of several girls were crying in the crowd, but Wu Zhu did not hinder him. This is the case with the marriage. Before getting married, parents would cry, and they were getting married.

Nie Zheng understood that if he threw a bomb at this time, it would certainly cause chaos among the Qin people, and he would take advantage of the chaos to stab Qin Jun with a sword... But those children would probably be inevitable.

I touched the bomb in the cowhide bag with my fingers, thinking that when I was young, I was revengeful and became a ranger. Isn’t it that I could kill one person in ten steps and get revenge?

Thinking again, my eight-foot-foot body, which is entrusted by all my friends, will hurt women and children? Is that what my husband does?

After thinking about it, he was relieved and said to himself: "I, Nie Zheng, killed countless people, relying on a sword. The young master and the dead soldiers around him, but this is the case, and I can't defeat Chuo. What are I afraid of?"

He looked at the crying girls for the last time, thinking about what Shengchuo said to him, and thought to himself, "After all, I died for the righteousness of my friends, and for Gong Zaoye, so-called righteousness. Neither Lu Shengchuo nor Gong Zaoye were lost. Today, I think Gong Zaoye would know that I did it. He just brought people to capture the King of Chu and King Yue, and I will kill Qin Jun today!"

Thinking that he only had a sister left, even though he had already married, if someone bullied his sister another day, and if he knew that even though he was busy in the Mo family to benefit the world, he would not ignore it. He really had no worries.

At this time, the bell and drums were about to ring, Wu Zhu got up, took the "wedding boat" made of reeds, and put the girls into the boat.

Nie Zheng took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to tie the towel on his head, moved his right finger slightly, and suddenly pulled the sword, moving like a rabbit, rushed forward and stabbed a Qin soldier.

…………

Weidu, Anyi.

Wu Qiduan sat in the house, and there was still a book called "Simplified Nine Numbers and Geometry" on the table table, but I didn't flip it after watching it for a long time.

Three years ago, in the Battle of Daliang, he made unparalleled contributions to the Wei State, killing the four kings of Gui and the Right Yin, and capturing a king, which shocked the world.

The prince settled into Chen, called himself King of Chu, and was also Duke of Chen, and personally defended Jin to protect himself. The situation of Chu was completely opened up. The city of Daliang, Yuguan and other cities in the Central Plains was completely reduced to the land of Wei. The Chu State had no way to march towards the Central Plains except for the Luyang direction.

In the Si Shang Huaibei, the Mo family had already occupied it, and the State of Chu was unable to get involved. The Chen people restored the country and supported the Prince Ding, and the road to the north of the Chu central line was also blocked.

In the battle of Daliang, the Mohist family helped a lot in "unintentionally". That book of defense about Daliang City allowed Wu Qi to siege the city and attack the aid. After defeating Ye Gong, scaring away the Queen of Chu, he easily broke the city and captured Shao Liang Jun.

Gunpowder broke the city and made the strong Daliang City fragile, and the Wei people cheered.

Originally, he could have achieved greater victory, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Chu people panic, breaking through Wuyang, falling into Fangcheng, and opening the door to Chu.

But... the Wenhou who trusted himself died, and the prince ascended the throne. The visionary and prestigious old minister Li Ju also died later.

Judging from the prestige and strength alone, at that moment, no one could control Wu Qi, who had heavy troops, outstanding fame and status, and could become generals and prime ministers.

There is no one.

If the troops continue to be used in that battle, Wuyang and Fangcheng will be broken, the defense line of the Great Wall of Chu will collapse, and the Nanyang Plain will be in hand, and Chu will have to retreat to Yanying. Then the prince will make this claim, so what can Chu?

However, Prince Ji did not dare to let him lead the elite troops of Wei, nor did he dare to let him take down Chu and join the prince's decree. After all, he was not Wei Chengzi, nor Wenhou's younger brother, Prince Ji's uncle.

What's even more terrifying is that he can go to generals and ministers, govern the people, govern the army, win decisively, change the military system, defeat invincible in every battle, govern the people on one side, and even preside over building cities and reforms...

Such people are suitable for being appearances, but the one who can suppress such appearances is Wenhou.

Wu Qi thought he had paid too much for the Wei State.

When the Mo family was guarding Shangqiu, Wu Qi was fighting with the prince. He felt that the Mo family should be allowed to guard Shangqiu. He believed in the Mo family's ability to defend the city, and sent troops until the Chu State was seriously injured, so that the Song State, which was also seriously injured, rely on the Wei State and become a vassal of the Wei State.

At that time, he did not recommend oppressing Chu too hard. Wei needed a Chu state to make Han and Wei stand together.

When the Mo family captured the King of Chu in the Battle of Shangqiu and wanted to hold the Breaking War, Wu Qi immediately wrote a letter.

He hopes that the Central Plains will stop the war, rely on the Mohist ability to defend the city, act as a mess in the Central Plains, isolate Qin, treat Qin as the Western Rong, and prevent Qin from participating in Central Plains affairs, gradually compress the Qin's living space, and let Qin decline in twenty years, so that Wei will have no worries. The Central Plains will be vast and Wei can roam at will.

When all this was not successful and the prince decided to flee to Wei, Wu Qi felt that if he was the commander, he would not be unable to conquer Niu Lanyi, and even won valuable breathing time for the State of Chu.

After Zheng State Si Ziyang was killed, Wu Qi firmly opposed the idea of ​​Wei's allowing South Korea to eat Zheng State in exchange for South Korea's support: If South Korea does not have Zheng, it will be just a country like Song and Zheng. If Zheng is obtained, it may compete with Wei State. In the long run, this is absolutely not allowed.

When Yan Zhongzi and Xia Lei of South Korea were fighting, he found someone to recommend Nie Zheng to Yan Zhongzi because he knew Nie Zheng when he was young and knew Nie Zheng's ability. Han Hou Xin died, and Xia Lei was the uncle of Han Hou Han. If Xia Lei was killed, Han would definitely be in trouble for a while, which would give Wei more time and take the initiative.

When the new weapons, stirrups, bronze cannons of the Mohist family began to appear, he first discovered the dawn of military system reform, was sure that the chariot soldiers were about to usher in the sunset, and believed that the reform of the military system would make the Wei State powerful.

Even when Mr. Wen appointed Wei Chengzi as prime minister, Wu Qi agreed without complaint: After all, Mr. Wei Chengzi was the uncle of the prince, and Mr. Wen was old at that time and needed a stable country to maintain the conflict between his non-public tribes and the public tribes.

He is not a political idiot. He understands the links, rather than a "weird person" who can only fight and govern the country. How can he not understand politics if he can achieve his status?

When his commander defeated the Chu people in Daliang City, he felt that the golden age of Wei was coming. When the news of Wenhou's death came, he was sure that Wenhou still trusted him, because Wenhou did not let him return to his army even before he died. So when the prince attacked him and returned, he even thought about the idea of ​​not accepting the orders of the foreign king, striving to solve the problem of Chu in one battle and let Chu decline for twenty years.

When he returned from the front line of Chu, he immediately wrote a letter to the prince to attack, or the Marquis of Wei, hoping to maintain the decline of Chu and curb South Korea. He kept a close eye on South Korea and did not let South Korea attack Zheng, do not covet the land of Zheng and force Zheng to Chu, and do not think about dividing Zheng with South Korea... This would be of no benefit to Wei and would only make South Korea take the opportunity to rise.

His strategy was still to suppress South Korea, weaken Chu, build Qi, attack Qin, guard against Zhao, and support Zheng. Chu was already weak and had no influence on the power of the Central Plains for twenty years. Wang Ziding had already split Chu. The Mo family had already gained a foothold in Si Shang, and the stirring Si Shang was in a terrible peace.

Last year, when Qi attacked Lu, the Mo family immediately abides by the Mengzhuze alliance and sends troops to help Lu defend the city. Wei and Han send troops to defeat Qi again. Qi is temporarily in the west, and there is no expansion direction in the south, leaving only the west and north.

In Wu Qi's current situation, in the view of Wu Qi, we should either not hesitate three years ago to completely defeat Chu State and create another rebellion of the kingly power of Chu State, just like the fifty years after the Communist King.

Or, now, kick South Korea away, no longer need the strong support of its ally, let alone acquiesced South Korea to encroach on Zheng State. At this time, we should win over some of Zheng State, support the Zheng people, create hatred of Zheng State, and be mediators, so as to withdraw from the Central Plains and continue to compress Qin State to the west.

All these strategies require Xihe to have more power, more investment, and more troops. His Xihe defender will become more and more powerful.

So the prince attacked Fu Xu.

It seems that this is a strategic battle: continue to go west? Or is it a guide to the Central Plains?

In fact, it was a dispute between the monarch and the ministers. Wenhou could suppress Wu Qi and trust Wu Qi. The prince did not dare to attack him, and he did not have such aura.

It is rumored that he is unfilial, killed his wife, is greedy and lustful.

But all his rewards were distributed to the soldiers in order to let the soldiers advance and retreat with them. Is there such greed in the world? Those people accused him of saying that he did this just to make greater contributions and make greater contributions, so that he would be more greedy in the future.

Faced with such accusation, Wu Qi just smiled faintly, thinking of the Mo family's words: Xia Chou cannot speak of ice.

Although I smiled, I felt depressed.

There was still a smell of wine on the table table. The trusted servant came over and whispered: "Mr. Duke of the County, there is an old friend of Lu who asked for a visit. He did not say his name."

Wu Qi was stunned and thought to himself that he had no old friends in Lu State? There were many enemies.

"What else did he say?"

The servant said anxiously: "He said that he had not only seen him in Lu, but also met him in Luoyin. He has stopped you from the way he was astray twice, and he can be called an old friend."

After the servant said this, a person suddenly appeared in Wu Qi's mind. He thought of the rumors circulating in Anyi. His teeth were clattering and he said angrily: "How dare he come? Twice stop me astray?"

Seeing this, the servant was about to withdraw and wanted to drive away the gentleman who was dressed in neatly and jade pendants. Unexpectedly, Wu Qi cursed angrily, pressed his right hand on the hilt of the sword and said, "Let him come in!"
