Chapter 3 I don't understand
If you can win, fight, and if you can't win, you can get along. The Qin Dynasty's strategy to fight against the enemy has always been flexible and realistic. The Chencang Road was steep and the Chu army went upstream from the Chencang Road. Not to mention that the Qin army had built dams on the Mian River two years ago. Even if it was not built, the Qin army could block the rivers along the way to fight one after another. In a short time, the Chu army could not attack Sanguan. The real death was the Qiang people.
Many places in Longxi County, with mountains crisscrossing mountains, were originally lived by Qiang people, and some roads were unknown to the Qin people. The Qiang people now have the giant armor and the giant blades, and they have practiced the shield warfare with the help of the Chu people. If they do not seek peace, they will inevitably sweep across the two counties of Longxi and the northern part. There is no way to seek peace and get rid of tribunals. Only by seeking peace and getting rid of tribunals can the Chu army be delayed and the war will be delayed until the witch medicine is made.
"Zhao Fusu." Under Wei Liao's expectations, Zhao Zheng finally nodded.
"Which." The envoy heard the sound and took the call and hurriedly came out of the hall, and Fusu soon arrived.
Fusu is already ten years old. Wang Ting's diet is nearly six feet tall. When wearing black clothes on him, he looks white and slender. His face looks like Mi Qian, his facial features are not clear, his nose is a bit low, but his eyebrows and eyes look very similar to Zhao Zheng. The father and son seem to be carved from the same mold. However, the temperament of children is not as aggressive as Zhao Zheng, more gentle and more smiling.
When Zhao Zheng saw Fusu, he would always think of Mi Qian, and then think of Mi Qian as Jing's daughter. The war between Qin and Jing was alive and dead, and the guilt that arises was severely extinguished by Zhao Zheng.
"What are you doing recently?" Zhao Zheng, who was hard-working, poured his kindness on Fusu and asked about his recent situation.
"Reported to my father, my son has been busy with his studies recently. The Master Bai Di taught me seven skills; the Master Wu taught me Qin Rule; the Master Mao taught me spring and autumn..." Fusu asked Zhao Zheng to pay his respects every day. When he asked him, the father and son did not have much dialogue. He summoned each other to his bed, which was never seen before. Fusu, who was accused of his parents, was sensitive by nature, and his voice was even trembling when he answered uneasy.
"Seven Arts?" Zhao Zheng was surprised. He had only heard of Confucianism with six arts, but he did not expect that the Baidi people also had seven arts.
"I came to my father and the seven arts that I learned from the Grand Tutor Bai Di are logic, rhetoric, grammar, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy." Fusu answered respectfully and explained in detail what seven arts he was learning.
"Good." Zhao Zheng nodded without comment. He knew the arts mentioned by Fusu. He had also read the translated "Geometry Original", but unfortunately he couldn't understand them very well. For example, 'Any two points can be connected by a line'. This is the fact. Is it necessary to write them into books, just like the words of a saint?
After a brief pause, Zhao Zheng said again: "The Jing people are in a hurry to attack me. My father wants to send you into the Qiang land. The Qin Dynasty is willing to join forces with the Qiang people. You..."
"Father, Father..." Fusu made a bang in his mind. He didn't hear anything else his father said clearly. It was not until the father finally said "Get off" that he retreated mechanically, and then he came back alive and burst into tears.
Entering Qiang land as a material, this was what his father asked him to do. He didn't know where the Qiang land was, and he didn't know how long it would take to be a material. He only knew that he would soon leave Xianyang, leave his mother, and go to a place outside Qin. He was in a panic and inconvenient, and as he walked, he came to Zhiyang Palace where the Taifu Bai Di lived.
"I have seen Your Highness the Prince." Aristotle IV was the Grand Tutor, and Wu Ji was the actual young security guard. It was not during class that Fusu came to Zhiyang Palace. Wu Ji couldn't help but be surprised. "Why is Your Highness crying?" He saw Fusu's tears.
"I came to say goodbye to the Taifu." In Zhiyang Palace, the teachers and students spoke Greek, and Fusu was answering in Greek with Wuji at this time.
"Farewell?" Wu Ji was surprised again. At this time, Aristotle IV, behind him, saw Fusu, and he was talking to the Egyptian envoy Palopus in the Mingtang. "Teacher, His Highness said that he was coming to say goodbye to the teacher."
"Farewell?!" Aristotle IV was shocked. "Are you going on a trip? Where?"
"Go to Qiang land." Fusu wiped his tears. Zhao Zheng was just his father, not his father. He had a special closeness to Aristotle IV, the White Tribute.
"Go to Qiang land? Why to go to Qiang land?" The six kingdoms in the world are already barbarians in the eyes of Aristotle IV. However, there are barbarians in the eyes of barbarians, so these barbarians are not known to him.
"Teacher, they are Qiang people. They live in the Longxi province and the area west of Longxi province. Now they are united with Chuni and are enemies of Qinni." Wu Ji explained. "Your Majesty wants to negotiate with the Qiang people, so he sent Fusu to the Qiang area as a hostage for the peace talks."
"No!" Aristotle IV jumped up angrily. "Your Majesty cannot do this, he cannot do this! Defeating the Chuni does not require barbarians, it does not require at all!"
Aristotle IV would not agree to the barbarians in the eyes of the barbarians. He first argued loudly and discussed loudly, and then took Fusu to Qutai Palace to meet Zhao Zheng. The conversation between him and Zhao Zheng continued until late at night. Just as he was talking with Zhao Zheng, a black pigeon flew out of the outskirts of Xianyang, and Fusu hurriedly sent the news of Qiang from Xianyang and spread it to Yingdu, thousands of miles away.
After a winter of fighting, the Chu and Qin countries once again tore their original territory apart, and the situation in the world changed again. The most obvious thing is that on the Eastern Front, Qi State had been divided into two parts, and the main force was almost wiped out. This time, Qi State followed the advice of the Grand Sima Mansion. While moving the capital to Jimo, he was ready to give up Linzi at any time, rather than throwing the remaining tens of thousands of troops into the Jixi defense line like a bottomless pit.
There was no change in the northern line. The Chu army had to retreat to Fangcheng so that it could support Shang Yu and Hanzhong. Therefore, Li Xin quickly led his army to station in Xiangcheng, looking at Ye Yiyao on the south bank of the Lishui River.
All the offensives of the Chu army were on the Western Front, and all the mobile forces were also gathered on the Western Front, but the Western Front could only attack along the Chencang Road. The road was tortuous and difficult, and the river was blocked continuously, so the war lasted for a long time and at least there was no end this year.
However, Xiong Jing instinctively felt danger, especially when he learned that the enemy had reported that the Qin people were carrying dragon horses, carriages, and a large number of craftsmen were trying to enter Qin from the grassland. He felt that the time left for Chu was getting less and less.
At the beginning of the year, Wang Jian withdrew from Qi and suddenly swept Yan Dai. Although Chu sent sea boats to rescue, the spring monsoon had not turned yet. The Qin army was too fast, and the land of Dai was not in the sea. As a result, Zhao Jiacheng, who had become the king of Dai, was defeated and captured. Only Li Bo, the son of Li Mu, who was in Jicheng, brought more than a thousand people to the Shanghai boat. His remaining troops retreated eastward into Korea and boarded the boat from Korea into Chu.
At this point, the direct contact between the Chu State and the outside of the Great Wall was cut off. Some of them were only those who were close friends with Chu merchants outside the Great Wall and Zhao people who defected to the Huns and sent news intermittently. However, this time, Duan Quan, the Da Shang Dynasty used a pigeon. The pigeon returned the Qin people from the west as quickly as possible, and accompanied them with dragon horse stallions, sickle chariots, and various craftsmen, but the news was intercepted by the Huns' Chanyu and spread to Yingdu.
Just like Zhao Zheng before, Xiong Jing had a premonition that the winner would be decided between Chu and Qin within two years at most. If the Chu army cannot break the Dasan Pass this year and attack Guanzhong, there may be no chance next year. Therefore, he strongly demanded that the Chu army not save gunpowder. Compared with speed, gunpowder is not important. Even if the city is bombed like before, the Dasan Pass must be pulled out before September this year.
"Report to the king, the Qin people want to be harmonious with the Qiang people." The next day, he looked at the dynasty that had finished the court, and Naojiu and Wushou hurried into the hall with me.
"Send Fusu to Qiang land as a material?" After reading the pigeon news that I gave me, Xiong Jing's eyebrows were depressed again.
"That's right." Don't let me say, "The Qin people want to be harmonious with the Qiang people, but the Qiang people want to rebel against me."
"King, I ask the king to marry Princess Xin to the Qiang people's great hero, otherwise..." Naojiu mentioned the unresolved Chu-Qiang marriage.
There was no marriage between Chu and Qiang. The Qiang girl wanted to marry into the Chu Palace, but Xiong Jing's frank confession "scared" the Qiang people. The Qiang people were monogamous, and the tribal chief women never became concubines. The Qiang girl married into the Chu Palace as a concubine, not a wife.
After that, the great hero Shi asked to marry the princess of Chu. The question was that Shi already had a wife, would Xiong Jing's only sisters marry into a concubine? To this end, Shi replied that he would treat the princess of Chu as if he were his wife, and did not propose any divorce for his wife. So the marriage froze here. Shi did not want his daughter to be a concubine, and Xiong Jing did not want his sister to be a concubine.
"What's the point of marrying a princess?" Xiong Jing asked back annoyedly, and naturally remembered the one who said he was in his mind. The Qin people wanted to have a good relationship with the Qiang people, but the only one who matched the bridge was that. "The Qiang people did not avoid being a powerful person to help the evildoer. Mi Xin married Shi as a concubine but not a wife. How could she convince Shi to marry Chu or not a wife?!"
Under the tribal system, wives who have their mother's reliance on are often inferior to their husbands. Even in the early Spring and Autumn Period when the monarchy had not yet risen, when the husband was called the king, his wife was also called the little king. The little king was not as good as the king, but he was also a king. The king was always above his ministers and had the power to make suggestions and make decisions on national affairs.
Mi Xin married her as a concubine, and her concubine was no different from a slave among the Qiang people. In addition to saying that Chu State attaches great importance to the great fortune, it is useless. Once Shi began to greedily ask for a price, marrying a princess was far from enough. The next time he asked for it was probably artillery, and the next time he asked for it was probably the entire Shu area.
"However, if the Qiang people really have a alliance with the Qin people, it will be very disadvantageous for me." Naojiu could not convince Xiong Jing, but he could also prevent the Qiang people from a alliance with the Qin people.
"Oh!" Xiong Jing sighed, and he had to grit his teeth: "Send someone to tell me that I will go to Hanzhong next month and discuss the princess' marriage with him." Xiong Jing's decision puzzled Naojiu, but fortunately he understood the next sentence. "I know that the emperor must know how the Qin people will be in harmony with the Qiang people within one month. Besides, who else can be a great hero among the Qiang people?"
"Your Majesty is..." Naojiu was shocked.
"When the enemy is in front of him, he dares to join forces with the Qin people. I will kill him!" Xiong Jing couldn't suppress his anger and slammed his fist on several cases.
Naojiu didn't expect Xiong Jing to kill the Qiang Dahao, and forgot to persuade him for a while. Until he came to his senses, he said anxiously: "How can the king kill him? If he knew the king's intention, he would definitely join forces with the Qin people."
"For generations, the Qiang people have been bullied by the Qin people. How could he say that the alliance will be harmonious?" Xiong Jing said affirmatively.
"You must not be angry and raise troops!" Naojiu became even more anxious. The Qiang people were ally of the Chu people. If they killed the Qiang people, in his opinion, they would definitely push the Qiang people to the Qin people.
"Why am I angry?" Xiong Jing immediately calmed down, looked at Naojiu deeply, shook his head and said, "You don't understand."
"My name," Naojiu didn't understand Xiong Jing's intention, but he still said: "I really don't understand, but how can the Qiang people kill him at will!"
"The Qiang people hated Qin for a long time, how could the great hero Di begs with Qin Yan arbitrarily? When did he have such power? With such power, he decided to be able to join forces with Qin people? How could he have!" Xiong Jing said angrily, angry, cunning and cunning, not understanding politics, especially tribal politics. "I don't even have to kill him. As long as I ask him whether he is in peace with Qin people in public, he will be the target of public criticism!"
"Oh! You don't understand!" Xiong Jing looked at Naojiu with some disappointment. There was no genius who was as proficient in real politics as Han Fei. He suddenly wanted to invite Han Fei to Yingdu to be the Great Ao to take charge of the national affairs. As long as he used his theory to King Zhao Zheng of Qin, he could govern the Chu State well.
Of course, this is also the fundamental reason why Chu did not end up like South Korea, because the political ecology of Chu could not grow out of Han Fei, a genius who was proficient in real politics. Compared with Koreans, Chu people were still very simple. The reason why he could reach this level was mainly due to the gifts of later generations, which was a magical world where everyone is self-interest but believes that love can generate electricity.
He knew the difference between Confucius and Mencius, Confucius and Confucius themselves, and could distinguish the similarities and differences between Mohism and Confucianism, Mohism and Mohism, and he could also smell the status and temperament of the person who wrote the book from the words and words, and even judge the general appearance of this person. He could also see his every move, and every word involved countless lines. The interweaving and entanglement of these lines constituted the politics of Chu and the politics of the world.
However, human energy is limited, and he cannot lead the army to fight while governing politics. He can only hand over these to the Chu people who are not proficient in politics and two outsiders who are proficient in politics but are not.
After the Qiang people were settled, Xiong Jing went to Taimiao again in front of the city. Those who were a little careful in the palace would find that the king would go to Taimiao every day to go to the court, where to worship and pray. Only after the prayer would he leave the palace and go to the Yingshi tent in the south of the city.
It is not easy to advocate beautiful people, do not like lively and extravagant, nor do you surpass the king's duties. For hundreds of years of the Warring States Period, even if you don't talk about Chu, there are few such kings in the world. Unfortunately, their intentional neglect, the same restrained and diligent King of Qin was ignored. King Zhao Zheng of Qin was not easy to advocate beautiful people, and he handled government affairs day and night.
