Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 241, on the side of the Qing emperor, Ziyou returns to the court

After Lord Changping shouted the slogan on the side of Lord Qing, Yingdu, Jingling, Lingyang and the areas south of Changsha responded one after another. The head of the Qu family, who was in charge of arresting Lord Changping, stopped halfway and wrote a letter requesting suppression of the rebellion.

At this time in Yingdu, Mr. Changping was surrounded by the surviving members of the Xiang clan. They came to ask Mr. Changping for an explanation. The Xiang clan had the reputation of traitors for no reason, which made them unacceptable.

"Everyone, it was a joint discussion between me and the general to bring troops into Shu. However, the treacherous officials in the court found out and sold the news to Qin. This caused the tragic death of 17 sons in my Chu country. The general is still in a coma. All this It's all the fault of the treacherous courtiers!" Changping Jun said in a tearful voice.

Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang, who knew the real situation, didn't say anything. When Xiang Yan agreed to Lord Changping to enter Shu, the Xiang family had no choice.

"Now that the king of Chu is young, the treacherous officials control the court, bully the people internally, and are weak and incompetent externally. Our country of Chu is at the point of life and death, and we will treat ourselves as the people of Chu State. Let me clear the king's side and punish the treacherous officials." Mr. Changping looked at these people and said.

"Li Yuan's thieves are really hateful. They took control of the court. Because the general disagreed with his political views, he framed our Xiang clan for rebellion and killed my clan. If this revenge is not avenged, I will not be a human being!" shouted.

The rest of the people also thought of their clansmen who died tragically, and they all blushed and shouted
"On the side of the Qing emperor, punish the treacherous ministers!"

Looking at the emotional Changping Jun, he sneered in his heart. In his opinion, the Xiang clan is not stupid, but just did not give them a reasonable reason to rebel.

How could the members of the Xiang family not know the magnitude of the crime of mobilizing the army privately, but they were unwilling to ruin the centuries-old reputation of the Xiang family in their own hands.

Rebellion and the side of the Qing monarch are essentially the same, but the side of the Qing monarch occupies the righteousness.

"Okay, the capital of Ying and Changsha have responded. General Xiang Bo has led Pingxing's army to station in Jingling a few days ago. After General Xiang Yan wakes up, we will make specific arrangements. After we Qingjun shouted, Li Yuan will surely They will send people to surround us.

Please go and cooperate with General Xiang Bo to resist the coming army. "Jun Changping wiped away his tears and said.

The Xiang clan has run the Chu army for many years, and most of them are capable of recruiting and fighting. Now that Xiang Yan is in a coma, Lord Changping can only rely on these people if he wants to protect himself.

"promise!"

The members of the Xiang clan left one after another, but Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang did not leave. Although they were ashamed of Lord Changping's way of buying people's hearts, they are now on the same boat. It is also death, both before and after, and the rebellion still has this glimmer of life.

Xiang Bo still has these [-] to [-] elites in his hands, which are enough to block the offensive of the army sent by Li Yuandiao.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the origin of the current king of Chu is unknown. I wonder if this is true or not?" Fan Zeng asked, looking at Lord Changping.

"This matter is a matter of the clan. I don't know it. It's just a folk rumor. Don't mention it again in the future." Changping Jun said lightly.

"No. General, please take care of your majesty. General Xiang Liang and I will go to help General Xiang Bo arrange the city defense." Fan Zeng saluted.

"Thank you, Mr. Fan Zeng." Mr. Changping returned the courtesy.

After Fan Zeng and Xiang Liang left Yingdu County Governor's Mansion, Xiang Liang looked at Fan Zeng and asked in puzzlement

"Mr. Fan, why did you ask the King of Chu about his background just now? Isn't that obvious?"

"I was just trying to test Lord Changping. The first time I saw this person, I saw that he had a royal air. Yingdu is the old capital of the Chu Kingdom, and it contains the luck of the Chu Kingdom. Qi and Chu country's luck gradually merged, and this person will be the king of Chu in the future.

Just now I purposely asked about Chu King Xiong Han's background, just to see if Lord Changping had any intention of becoming king. "Fan Zeng said.

"Didn't Mr. Changping say that it was a folk rumor? He also said that we won't be allowed to mention it again." Xiang Liang said.

Fan Zeng glanced lightly at Xiang Liang, a martial artist, and said
"If Mr. Changping really didn't have the idea of ​​being king, he wouldn't say that this is a matter of the clan. His meaning is very clear. The issue of the identity of the king of Chu should be resolved by the clan, and Mr. Changping himself is a member of the clan. It's just that Now the slogan we are shouting is Qingjun’s side, if we bluntly say that there is a problem with the identity of the King of Chu, then it is a rebellion, and the entire Chu Kingdom will not help us.”

Fan Zeng had already made his words very clear, and Xiang Liang was not a fool, so he naturally understood the meaning. Lord Changping had the idea of ​​becoming king, but now he still needed a legitimate slogan to win people's hearts.

"After arriving at the military camp, send spies to spread the news that King Chu is unknown, and then send someone to shape the image of Lord Changping," Fan Zeng said.

"I see."

After Lord Changping shouted the side of King Qing in Yingdu, the state of Chu shook up and down. Not only the state of Chu, but also the other five countries and hundreds of families were also shocked. They were originally shocked by the news that the state of Qin had annihilated the 17 troops of the state of Chu. It was inexplicable, after all, they had never heard that Qin and Chu were going to war, and before they could understand the melons above, Lord Changping uttered the slogan on the side of Lord Qing, which made them even more incomprehensible.

After seeing Lord Changping calling out Lord Qing's side, not only did he not attack Shouchun directly with the army before the court of Chu had reacted, but instead retreated and actively prepared various fortifications.This made some people understand that Mr. Changping was not planning to clear his side, but was planning to rule the land and rebuild a small Chu state.

This made the melon eaters of the Five Kingdoms and Hundred Families call 666 directly. For a while, no one was going to find out how Qin State destroyed Chu's 17 troops. They were all watching who would lose in the end of Chu's Qing Dynasty Who wins.

When the news from the state of Chu came back to the state of Qin, Ziyou and his party had already arrived in Xianyang. After returning to Xianyang, Ziyou went directly to the palace to report the situation in Shu County.

In the Zhangtai Palace, Yingzheng was discussing with members of his ingenuity and military force group how to slander Zhao State so that Zhao State could not intervene in the next battle to destroy Wei. The alliance signed by Zhao Weichu before has always been It was a major obstacle for Qin to attack Wei.Although Qin State was able to resist the Three Kingdoms Alliance, such casualties and losses were too great, which did not conform to Qin State's national policy of destroying the six countries. Now that Chu State is divided, Chu State has no energy to worry about Wei State, and Zhao State is a shit stick Fortunately, relying on the development of these years and the support of the grassland tribes, a lot of national strength has begun to recover.

"Report to Your Majesty, sir is back and is asking to see you outside the palace."

"Let the teacher in quickly," Ying Zheng said.

Wang Jian, Wei Liao, and Meng Wu stood on the left, and Lu Buwei, Li Si, and Han Fei stood on the right, giving Ziyou the middle position.

After Ziyou went to the palace and performed the ceremony of the monarch and his ministers, everyone returned to the sand table again, ready to discuss the affairs of Zhao State.

"The teacher is back. The Academy of Sciences has figured out the steel frying method and the hundred forging method. Now the army has begun to gradually equip the latest iron weapons. The Academy of Sciences for the condensed armor proposed by the teacher has not yet produced a finished product, but the Academy of Sciences has already made one. It only weighs more than 20 kilograms, but its defensive power is no less than the current armor." Ying Zheng said happily.

Weapons and armor are the biggest reliance of soldiers. Although armor is not as easy to popularize as weapons, once it is researched, it will be a big step forward. As long as there are enough things, it can be popularized by the entire Qin army.

"The speed of the public loser and Qin Mo is not slow. Before I came, I heard that the king intends to attack Wei?" Ziyou asked.

"That's right, the last time we destroyed Korea, we lost very little, and the half-year's self-cultivation is enough to make up for it. Moreover, Yingchuan County has stabilized, and Chu State is split again. It's okay if Zhao State can't get involved in the matter of destroying Wei." Ying Zheng Said.

Seeing Yingzheng's high spirits, Ziyou looked at Lu Buwei who was beside him. Lu Buwei shrugged helplessly. Yingzheng's current state is obviously overconfident. The unprecedented smoothness of destroying Korea makes Yingzheng think that the unification can be accelerated. The progress has been made, and it will not be too late to cultivate after the Wei State is destroyed.

These days, the court of the State of Qin has been arguing over this matter, and the military also thinks it is possible to start a fight, and a large part of the civil servants also support it.

Only Lu Buwei insisted on the original plan, and took one to three years of cultivation at a time. The purpose of cultivation was not only to rest the army and the court, but also to allow the common people to cultivate.

Wars are about consumption, and these consumptions come from the people. Although Qin has abundant reserves, no one can guarantee that there will be no problems in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to plan ahead so that the people can get enough rest to avoid unexpected emergencies. A situation arises, but unable to deal with it.

"I agree with the original plan, take a rest for a year, and wait until next year to attack Wei." Ziyou said.

The smile on Yingzheng's face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Ziyou puzzled. He thought that Ziyou would support him to destroy Wei. After all, Ziyou's desire to rule the world was stronger than his own, but at the moment Ziyou maintained his opposition, which made him Ying Zheng couldn't understand.

Not only Yingzheng, but everyone present except Lu Buwei couldn't understand Ziyou's thoughts, especially the Big Three in the military.

"Teacher, don't you think now is not the best time to attack Wei?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Yes, in the face of Zhao and Wei, Qin is indeed capable of winning, but Zhao and Wei have enough national power to hold Qin back. If this war continues for a long time, it is inevitable that the battle of Changping will reappear." Ziyou asked.

Satisfying Yingzheng's eagerness to attack Wei State, Qin State can bear it, but this head cannot be opened now. Once Yingzheng gets used to eager for quick success, it will inevitably repeat the mistakes of history in the future.

Moreover, Zhao Wei is not like South Korea, which does not have enough national strength and strategic depth. Once Zhao Wei and Qin fight a war of attrition with Qin, Qin will not only cause internal problems, but also get a decaying and collapsing Wei. , this is not worth the candle.

"When does the teacher think we can attack Wei?" Ying Zheng asked.

"In the spring of next year, the state of Chu has just split up. If we attack the state of Wei at this time, Lord Changping will inevitably mobilize the hearts of the people of the state of Chu by resisting Qin, so as to ease the relationship between himself and the court of the state of Chu.

If the plan to split the Chu State was futile, it would be better to wait until Lord Chang Ping started the war with Li Yuan, and then attack the Chu State when the two were inextricably fighting.

Moreover, I met Mr. Nian Duan who had just returned from Zhao State in Shu County.In Zhao State, Mr. Nian Duan secretly checked Zhao Wang's pulse and said: Zhao Wang's life is not long. " Ziyou said.

I was talking nonsense when I encountered Nian Duan, but Zhao Wangyan did not die soon. According to historical records, Zhao Wang died suddenly in the spring of next year.

"Teacher is serious?" Ying Zheng stood up and said.

If King Zhao is really near the end of his life, he can wait a little longer.

Others were also moved. If Zhao Wangyan died, the whole country of Zhao would decline. The whole country mourned for King Zhao. Before the mourning period of King Zhao was over, no swords could be used.

When Li Mu wiped out the rags and defeated the grassland coalition army, he had hoped to wipe out half of the grassland, but because of King Zhao's funeral, he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

"That's right." Ziyou said.

"If that's the case, then wait for a while and attack Wei after Zhao Wangyan dies next year." Ying Zheng said.

"promise!"

After the discussion ended here, everyone became more casual. Zhao Gao brought tea and snacks for everyone, and everyone sat down and began to talk about the harvest of Shu County.

"Teacher, it's been hard work going to Shu County." Ying Zheng said with a smile.

Ziyou's trip to Shu County not only solved the problem of the stubborn Shu Mountain in Shu County, but also saw through the conspiracy of Lord Changping and Xiang Yan, and crippled Chu State in one fell swoop.

More importantly, the money that Ziyou copied from the house raid this time enriched Yingzheng's Shaofu even more.

Now Yingzheng is arguing with Wei Liao and Lu Buwei every day, trying to expand the size of the Imperial Forest Army.

"It's just a coincidence, the main credit is the county lieutenant Sima Xin and the county magistrate Qu Yi." Ziyou said.

"Speaking of Sima Xin, he should be in Xiacai to replace Yang Duanhe by now," Ying Zheng said.

"Yes, Yang Duanhe should be preparing to attack Pingxing right now. When Sima Xin arrives at Xia Cai to replace Yang Duanhe, he can send troops." Wei Liao said.

Although Sima Xin has made enough credit, he lacks qualifications. Asking him to cooperate with Yang Duan and fight against Chu is to increase Sima Xin's qualifications.

It would be fine if other people were directly transferred back. Qin Guo didn't judge his background, only his ability, but Sima Xin was different. If he was directly transferred back, it would inevitably cause discussions among the generals about the fact that Lord Wu'an Bai Qi was bestowed to death.

"Although the problems in Shu County are all resolved, there is also a problem exposed. The local powerful clans have gradually infiltrated the local area, and the land in their hands is far more than before. Some people even hold nearly half of the land in a county." Ziyou said.

With the exception of Ying Zheng, everyone here knew what Ziyou said, but no one answered it.

"Teacher, are you joking? Qin Fa has strict requirements for land sales. How is such a large-scale land transaction possible?" Ying Zheng asked.

But looking at Ziyou's serious expression and the expressions of other people present, Ying Zheng understood that this matter was not a joke.
