Chapter 2 The Different Qin State (1)
The sound of cars was loud and the horses were running till the hooves, and a team was moving west quickly. This was Qin Yiren and his party.
Since receiving the order from King Zhao of Qin, Qin Yiren has set off with Meng Ao and Huan Qiong. Along the way, the most conspicuous one was Qin Yiren's king car.
This king car was used by King Mu of Zhou, but it fell into the hands of Qin Yiren. After some renovation, it was completely renewed and not much different from the new car. This king car is very grand and domineering. Zhao Ji took Ying Zheng to sit in the king car, which was very comfortable.
Along the way, this king car attracted a lot of attention and many people praised it.
Qin Yiren was riding a horse or a car, and he was happy. When he was tired of riding a horse, he entered the king's car and had a secret meeting with Zhao Ji, which made him even more fun. If he wanted to ride a horse, he would ride a horse and talk to Meng Ao, Huan Qie, Meng Wu, Huang Shigong and Wei Liao, and had endless fun.
"It's a pity that I couldn't let Le Yi enter Qin." Qin Yiren rode on the horse and walked forward with Meng Ao and the others, which was a great regret.
Le Yi was a famous minister who was famous all over the world and had extraordinary talent. He ruled Yanyan and defeated Qi Qi. If he could enter Qin, it would be of great benefit to Qin. After occupying Handan, Qin Yiren was determined to let Le Yi go to Qin and visit him, but Le Yi refused. Qin Yiren repeatedly invited him, but Le Yi still insisted, and Qin Yiren had to give up.
"Yes." Meng Ao also felt sorry and said, "Although there are many wise men in the world, there are too few people like Le Yi. If Le Yi can enter Qin, it would be great. It's a pity that he doesn't want to, which makes people regret it."
Huan Qi nodded and said, "It's not all bad things. Lian Po came out again at the request of the young master to control the troops of Zhao. With Lian Po here, the troops of Zhao will not move around, and Zhao will be much more stable."
Although he destroyed Zhao this time, he adopted a strategy of gentleness, which was the eight words of Qin Yiren: surrender, cede land, pay compensation, and garrison, and did not completely destroy Zhao.
To completely destroy Zhao State, it is to move King Xiaocheng of Zhao, destroy the ancestral temple of Zhao State, and dig out the tomb of Zhao State.
These three things must be done, but they can be done slowly and find the opportunity to do it again. If you do it now, it is too rush and it will cause trouble. The Zhao people will definitely resist and fight to the end. Of course, with the strong national strength of Qin, they will not refuse, but will disrupt Qin's plans. It is not cost-effective, and it can be delayed for a while.
In the Battle of Zhongmu, the Qin army almost wiped out the army of the six countries except Qi, beheading 700,000 people. Shandong's living forces were almost destroyed by Qin, which means that the Shandong land no longer had the power to resist Qin's advance eastward advance.
As long as Qin seizes this opportunity and advances eastward, within three to five years, Qin will occupy large tracts of land and cities, and there will be no problem with half of the country. If Zhao land is in chaos and chaos is caused by chaos, it would be too unprofitable.
Besides, if Zhao State is completely destroyed, it will make the five kingdoms of Han, Wei, Yan, Qi and Chu fight to the end, which will be extremely unfavorable to Qin State, which is about to move eastward. It can be imagined that even the tomb of the ancestors cannot be kept, who can not fight hard?
After Qi Jie replaced Le Yi, he did something stupid that was too stupid. That was that he fell into Tian Dan's plan and dug up the ancestral tomb of Jimo people, which aroused the anger of Jimo people and wanted to fight to the end. This was an important reason why Tian Dan was able to recover.
If Qin destroyed the Zhao ancestral temple and dug up the ancestral tomb, it would surely alert the other five countries that they would fight to the end, which would cost Qin a high price.
It is precisely because of this that the Qin State adopted a policy of gentleness and comforting King Xiaocheng of Zhao this time, and not moving the ancestral tombs and ancestral temples of Zhao State, and allowing King Xiaocheng of Zhao to live in Handan. After this decree, the Zhao people were grateful and their hatred for Qin State was greatly reduced.
According to the people of Zhao, Qin and Zhao must have been in every way if they destroyed Zhao. However, to their surprise, Qin was gentle and generous, which would not be enough to make Zhao unhappy.
Of course, if Zhao's land is stable and not in trouble, he still needs someone who can suppress it to take charge of the affairs.
This person is Lian Po!
Qin Yiren went to visit Lian Po and made a lot of talk. After a long time, he finally moved Lian Po, and Lian Po regained the Zhao army.
Lian Po's prestige was there. He came out to take charge of military affairs, which was of great help to Qin and could reduce a lot of resistance. This was a huge gain.
"It's a pity that I didn't catch up with Xiang Yan and let him escape. I blame me for not being able to kill him." Meng Ao shook his head, feeling very regretful.
Xiang Yan is a good general, and he has made many plans. If his opponent is not the Qin army, he may succeed. Even so, this person cannot underestimate him and should be eliminated. It is precisely because of this that Meng Ao led his army to chase Xiang Yan, and kept chasing Qianli, almost killed Xiang Yan several times, and finally let him escape.
"General Meng doesn't have to blame himself." Qin Yiren smiled and said, "A good general like Xiang Yan is resourceful. It's not easy to kill him."
Xiang Yan is extremely talented and it is not easy to chase him. Meng Ao has a deep understanding of this. He almost killed Xiang Yan several times, but it was a little bit worse. It was just because Xiang Yan always had a quick intelligence and could think of ways to resolve the crisis, so he was allowed to escape.
Despite this, the Jiangdong soldiers who Xiang Yan was proud of were suffering heavy casualties. Only three or two hundred people could return to the State of Chu, and the rest were all dead. Without these Jiangdong soldiers, Xiang Yan's life was sad and Xiang's life was sad.
In the battle of Zhongmu, the Qin army won a huge victory, but there were also regrets. The biggest regret was that Xiang Yan, the first planner of the army of the Five Kingdoms, escaped. Secondly, Chunshen Jun and Pingyuan Jun both escaped.
Pingyuan Jun was missing and didn't know where he hid. Of course he didn't dare to return to Zhao State. Returning to Zhao State was to die, and he must have hid somewhere else.
Although Pingyuan Jun escaped, he became a dog of a family and could not make any storms. He would just chase him again in the future.
It was interesting to talk along the way. It was soon very close to Hangu Pass. Wei Liao and Huang Shi Gong bid farewell to Qin Yiren.
"Young Master Yi Ren, I want to travel around the world and write a military book. I will not follow the young master to enter Qin, so I will leave here." Wei Liao raised his fists to Qin Yi Ren to greet him.
Wei Liao's extraordinary talent was highly praised by Qin Yiren, and he has always regarded him as his confidant. Wei Liao also wanted to follow Qin Yiren, but there was one thing he could not let go of, that was, writing military books.
The book "Yu Liaozi" was not written by Wei Liao alone, but focused on the efforts of the four generations of the Wei family. It has lasted for three generations, including Wei Liao's great-grandfather, grandfather and father. It has gathered the efforts of three generations, and Wei Liao will write it no matter what.
If you can't write it, you're ashamed of your ancestors.
Qin Yiren really wanted Wei Liao to follow him into Qin, and knew that this was too difficult, and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, I wish you to write a military book as soon as possible. By then, you will come to this young master."
"Don't worry, young master, this is not to mention it." Wei Liao admired Qin Yiren very much. If he really wanted to find a wise master, who would be the only one who would be the Qin Yiren?
"Also, please worry more about secret soldiers." Qin Yiren said with a smile.
"Don't worry, young master, I will write military books while dealing with secret soldiers, and there will be no problem." Wei Liao was full of confidence.
"Young Master, I won't let you enter Qin." Huang Shi Gong also came to say goodbye.
"Yeah." Qin Yi was surprised and said, "Huangshi Gong, why didn't you enter Qin?"
Duke Huangshi is highly valued by Qin Yiren. He is extremely talented and is the right hand of Qin Yiren. Logically, he would follow Qin Yiren to Qin. However, he came to say goodbye, and Qin Yiren really couldn't understand it.
"Young Master, Huang Shi also wants to follow the young master to enter Qin." Huang Shi Gong smiled and explained: "However, you know that in the battle of Zhongmu, Qin State won a great victory, and Shandong has no strength to compete with Qin. As long as the Qin army advances eastward, it will definitely seize half of the country. The Qin army is resting now because the division has been working for several months, and the soldiers are tired and have to rest. Once the war begins, a lot of news will be needed. I am preparing in advance and collecting news in large quantities during the Qin army's rest."
"Sun Tzu" says: Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!
This sentence well illustrates the importance of intelligence. Huangshi Gong is far-sighted and collects intelligence in advance, and prepares for the Qin army's eastward advance. It is not an exaggeration to praise him no matter how much he praises him.
"Yes." Qin Yiren emphasized the key point and praised it very much.
"If I was right, the young master would definitely be highly appreciated by the King of Qin when he returned to Qin this time. The young master would also go to war with the army next year. If I could collect useful information, it would be of great benefit to the young master." Huang Shi Gong said with a smile.
Today, Qin Yiren is no longer the Qin Yiren who was forced to be hostages in Handan. He has become famous all over the world. At the ceremony of talent sweeping, Qin Yiren is so arrogant that he has become the world's number one scholar, famous all over the world, and is highly valued by others. In the Battle of Handan, he showed his strength and made the Qin army run on the city, which is shocking. He came up with a plan to ambush Xinlingjun and simply killed 200,000 Wei troops; he won after instigating the rebellion, and wiped out the four armies of Han, Zhao, Yan and Chu in one fell swoop...
He also had the great achievements of destroying Zhao, and Qin Yiren had an important position. He returned to the country with such great achievements. If King Zhao of Qin did not value him and did not appreciate him, he would be blind.
I dare not say 100% of the possibility, at least 80% or 90%. Qin Yiren will become the heir of the King of Qin, and Qin Zhao will do his best to cultivate him. To cultivate him, it is inevitable that he will follow the army to fight next year.
Qin Yiren went to war with the army. If he had mastered a lot of information, there was no need to mention this benefit.
Duke Huangshi was far-sighted and thought about everything for Qin Yiren.
"Do your best!" Qin Yiren felt warm when he thought of these four words, and was moved. He clasped his fists and bowed to Huang Shigong and said, "Then I'll be working."
"Young Master, take care of yourself!" Huang Shi Gong and Wei Liao bowed their fists, flew on their horses, and galloped away with a team of people.
Looking at the backs of the two, Qin Yiren was both happy and reluctant to leave. What he was happy was that he could get the loyalty of these two people, and he was worried about whether he could achieve great things? What he was reluctant to leave was that these two people were both masters and servants and friends. Without the two people around him, he always felt that something was missing.
Until the two of them disappeared, Qin Yiren pulled the reins and headed towards Hangu Pass.
Chenggu Pass is a majestic pass with high city and thick walls, and very strong.
Hangu Pass is a must-pass place for Qin and Shandong. It is very lively, with cars coming and going. Countless traffic gathered into long dragons, and it was endless to see.
