Chapter 72 Kidnapping
A successful father always has a son who is incompetent. In Zhao Zheng's eyes, Fusu is incompetent, and he is becoming less and less powerful. When he was young, he didn't feel that way. The older he got, the more he realized that his son was different from himself, and he was considered to be incompetent.
This is the helplessness of the father and son. If you educate Fusu based on the education (experience) that Zhao Zheng received before he was ten years old, just like the nouveau riche who educated his son, you will only educate a small nouveau riche. However, the environment is different, this little nouveau riche will be incompatible with the surroundings, making the nouveau riche's father's face vague. More importantly, this little nouveau riche cannot replicate his father's success, but it is easy to ruin the family business and fall to the position he should have fallen. However, the father usually cannot see this scene.
If you educate the small nouveau riche according to the successful person, that is, the palace education that Fusu is receiving, the father's perception of his son will be similar to Zhao Zheng's perception of Fusu: he is too timid and soft, too easy to trust others, too kind, and unable to defend his family business, he will be played with and applauded by his ministers in the future...
Zhao Zheng watched his son retreat, and tried to change his previous life several times, so he asked his son to stay in Huai County and have dinner with him at night, but in the end he was restrained and watched him leave the hall ruthlessly until his young back disappeared outside the hall.
"What's the matter with Qi?" He turned his eyes and looked at the ministers in the hall again. The Chu people encouraged Qi people to join the war in Jimo's market, and the agitated Qi people stabbed the Qin envoy and weakened the Qin envoy. The Qin envoy represented the King of Qin, and the Qin envoy hurt him as soon as he hurt him. Zhao Zheng was furious.
"Report to the king, this Qi people are despised by me, Qin, and should send troops to attack." Li Si's anger was not under Zhao Zheng.
"The Qi people are rude, so they should attack." The ministers in the hall agreed. Feng Quji said, "If you don't send troops to attack Qi, the Qi people will send troops to Daliang, which is not conducive to me."
"Report to the king, it is not impossible to attack the Qi people, but it is impossible." Wang Wan said anxiously. "The sand sea is more than a thousand miles away from Jimo, and there are boats and oars that cannot be returned for ten months. Now that the war with the Jing people is about to be imminent, how can we send troops to attack?"
In battles, we must first gather troops. How to gather troops to the greatest extent and how to prevent the enemy from gathering troops to the greatest extent. This is the primary issue in the battle. It is already early November, and the weather is getting colder and the north wind is getting tighter. It is impossible to send Qin troops to attack Qi. Now all the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty are gathering in Daliang. How can we divide the army to attack Qi?
"Sit and watch the Jing people lead tens of thousands of Qi people to fight with each other?" Zhao Zheng glared at Wang Wan fiercely, suspecting that he spoke to Qi because of his kindness.
"Otherwise." Wang Wan didn't dare to speak for Qi. He was just not as optimistic as Zhao Zheng, and knew that the upcoming battle was related to the life and death of the Qin Dynasty. "In the past, the King of Qi sent me to the Qin Dynasty, but now the people of Qi are betrayed me, so he should punish him. Please ask the King to kill the Prince of Qi Tian Sheng!"
Qi was a weak country, and Qi Qin joined forces, and Qi Prince Tian Sheng entered Qin as a preceptor. Now Qi was against Qin and relatives to Chu, so the first person to punish Qi was of course the hostage of Qi. Wang Wan spoke according to this meaning, and the ministers were speechless for a while, only Han Fei wanted to speak but stopped.
"Han Qing asks for advice." Han Fei and Zhao Zheng loved him and appointed him as the prime minister of Qin. He even participated in major affairs in the middle school of the country. Zhao Zheng's preference for Han Fei made Li Si jealous, but Yao Jia was dead and Xunqiu was in Qin again. He dared not do some things he could not do.
"Report... King," Han Fei said with a little stuttering. "This matter was done by the Jing people... on purpose, as if Qin and Qi were in a bad relationship. As long as Qin and Qi acted, Qi people would hate me even more, and there would be more people following Jing, so this matter should be ignored."
"Look at it like no one?" Zhao Zheng looked at Han Fei in great surprise. It was hard to imagine that he would say such words. He was like this and his ministers, but Wang Wan was surprised and thought hard and understood Han Fei's intention.
"Of course." Han Fei said. "This matter is turned a blind eye, not to see the rest of the matter. I wonder if the Qin army could go down the Dan River and go straight to Xia Pi in Pengcheng? If Xia Pi is obtained, the Qi people will be worried."
After Han Fei said that Zhao Zheng was silent, and when he saw Zhao Zheng being silent, the other ministers wanted to make suggestions, they held back for a while. Han Fei turned a blind eye but turned a blind eye to the matter in front of him. The Qin-Qi alliance was a forced matter. What Ku Guang did was to use the Qi people's psychological hatred of Qin to create events. As long as Qin did, the original cracks would become bigger and bigger. He sent troops to attack, and he would not say that he would be in the alliance before victory. Before the victory, he was in the mood to Qi: either more Qi people were angry and rushed to Daliang, or the Qin army had to divide their troops to attack Qi.
"How about protons?" Zhao Zheng quickly understood what Han Fei meant.
"The proton must not be killed." Han Fei said. "The people of Qi love Qi very much, love the house and the wu, and also love the prince of Qi. Killing him, the whole country is sad and angry and bears me. This is unwise." Han Fei's words made Wang Wan frown, but he had to admit that what Han Fei said was reasonable. "I think," Han Fei didn't care about Wang Wan's expression, but just lowered his head and thought. "The proton should not be killed, but should be sent back to Qi."
"Send back to Qi?" Han Fei's words surprised everyone again.
"That's right." Han Fei said. "Xianyang reaches Jimo for more than two thousand miles, and the prince of Qi returns to Qi for two days, and it will not be reached for thirty days. The king can first say to the people of Qi: If they can stop the people of Qi from fighting, they can be released to the prince of Qi; if they cannot, the people of Qi hurt Qin's envoys and belittle the king, so they should be killed. Jimo is not far from Jing Kingdom, and if they want to go to Qi and enter Jing, it will be enough for more than twenty days."
"Good!" Zhao Zheng understood Han Fei's method, which was to show virtue, but this virtue would take two or thirty days to be truly fulfilled. The sea of sand is more than one thousand miles away from Jimo, and passes through Chu, and Jimo to Daliang is more than one thousand miles. With the current weather, if it can be delayed from November to December, it will be too late to go to the Qi people of Daliang again in December. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was very good, and said, "Follow Han Qing's plan, the prince of Qi will return to Qi immediately. If Qi Jun lets Qi people enter Jing Kingdom and become enemies with me, kill the prince of Qi."
It is not the style of Qin. Since the Qi people have joined forces with Qin and have "same likes and dislikes", they have colluded with the Jing people and injured the Qin envoy, Qin will definitely take revenge. As long as the Qi people do not rush to Daliang in time, they will kill the prince of Qi. Since the Chu people are destroyed, Qi can go down in one go, and there is no need for the Qi people to think.
The Mingtang agreed on this matter, and the news was sent to Chunyu on the west bank of the Wei River, and then crossed the boundary river of the two countries, Wei River, and sent to Jimo, Qidu, more than 200 miles away from the northeast. It was related to the life and death of the prince. As soon as the news came into Qi, it was transmitted at the fastest speed. When it was sent to Jimo, it happened that the day when Vuguang and others set off for Qi to enter Chu.

Cutting wood into a soldier, lifting up a pole into a flag. It sounds like a very simple thing, but it is never easy to gather an army. The basics of the army are officers. Without officers, the army will undoubtedly be together with the riots. In addition to officers, they must also set up axes and halberds and build flags and drums. These are the tools to control and command the army. Otherwise, even if there are officers, they cannot command the entire army. In addition to axes, halberds, flags and drums, there must be military curtains, cooking utensils, chariots, horses, and baggage. Without these, even if the soldiers bring their own food and fodder, they cannot march or camp.
Because of this, some doctors in the court had the intention of watching the show for the Qi people at the South Gate. The cold wind in November was already biting. The Qi people gathered everywhere without military screens, would they sleep in the wild? These people did not have cooking utensils and dry firewood. Although they carried Chu Shu, could they still eat it raw? They would definitely not be able to hold on like the last riot and end it.
The doctors thought this way, but Jimo City people and the gathered farmers set up camps in the fields outside the South Gate that day. The military curtains, cooking utensils, supplies, sauces, and even wine needed for camping were transported out of Jimo City.
On the second day, Tian Yang, a doctor from the county, ordered the city gate to be closed, but his military order was completely invalid. After receiving the order, Sima of the South Gate not only did not close the door, but opened the city gate in advance. When the king's soldiers who stayed in Jimo went to the South Gate to force the door closed, all Jimo people blocked the streets to the South Gate. The king's soldiers were unwilling to kill people, and the doctors dared not kill people, so the situation could only be stalemate and allowed the city farmers to empty the entire Jimo.
The military camp was up, the military curtain was set up, and the military stove was curling smoke rose on the morning of the next day. When he saw this scene with his own eyes, he felt deeply moved. He finally realized that he did not know the Qi people. Now he saw that these Qi people were completely different from those Qi people he had contacted before. In the past, the Qi people must have stoves, fox furs, beautiful maids, and precious people never went out all winter. Even if these Qi people were wearing fox furs and maids, they would sleep in the fields all night without military curtains in the camp.
He couldn't help but think of the information that the Peters-Shi repeatedly mentioned but was regarded as a mistake by him: Qi Ren's temperament is soothing and greedy.
It is said that the land of Qi is scattered and there is less grain, but the land of Qi is never short of food and clothing, but the agriculture is not developed. The material richness makes Qi people relaxed, greedy, greedy and brave, which is completely different from the Tian family's good at calculating and enjoying pleasure. The real Qi people can sleep in the fields where the north wind is howling, or on a wooden couch with gold and silver. They like fresh clothes and angry horses, and it doesn't matter if they don't have one.
During the five days of waiting, the careless Qi people came from all cities and towns, gathering more and more. The Nanmen Camp soon gathered more than 10,000 people. At the suggestion of Lu Tu, Bu Li and others, Vulcan waited for two more days. In the past two days, more than 10,000 people arrived with food and fodder, and the entire camp doubled. It was November. Vulcan, who was worried that he would not arrive at Daliang in time, was preparing to set off the camp and go west after breakfast. The urgent news from the Qin people arrived at this time.
"The King of Qin said!" Taihang Tianwei hurried into the South Gate Camp and said as soon as he saw Quguang. "If my Qi people do not go to Daliang, the prince Sheng who has returned to Qi in the Zhigong Palace in Xianyang can return to Qi. If my Qi people follow the Chu envoy to Chu, they will kill Prince Sheng."
"How dare!" Qu Guang cried out and became angry. He cursed: "The King of Qin is a villain!"
