Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 399, Ziyou enters Zhao

Everyone who is doing Chen Ping knows that, but what Chen Ping did this time is indeed too much. If the court does not have any explanation, it will be a great damage to the majesty of Qin Fa.

"Stop this matter for now. I'll trouble you to write a letter to Chen Ping. After the war between Qin and Zhao is over, let Chen Ping return to the court to report on his duties." Ying Zheng thought for a while and came to a conclusion.

"promise!"

Ying Zheng has expressed his stance, and everyone can only accept it.

Chen Ping's matter can only be regarded as a trivial matter in the Qin State. Whether it is Meng Wu fighting on the grassland or Wang Jian actively preparing to attack Zhao, Chen Ping's matter can be covered up at will.

As time went by, Mengwu's seizures in the grasslands were gradually returned to Xianyang. Hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, a large number of horses, and carts of treasures completely covered up Chen Ping's affairs. With these spoils With the arrival of Meng Wu, news of Meng Wu's request for his master to return to the court was also sent back to Xianyang.

Yuyang County.

Chen Ping was still working hard, and the officials below were even more conscientious and did not dare to deal with various affairs carelessly. After seeing Chen Ping's series of methods, these officials were completely impressed by Chen Ping, and they were even afraid. I understand why Chen Ping became quite famous when he was in Xianyang.In a place where people gather like Xianyang, Chen Ping is at home like a fish in water. In Chen Ping's opinion, their methods are just a trick, so everyone put away their little thoughts and concentrated on their work.

Li Xin led the soldiers into the governor's mansion in a swaggering manner, and the officials around him were already not surprised by this.

When Chen Ping saw Li Xin arriving, he put down his brush and said
"Thank you for your hard work, colleagues. Let's go take a rest first."

"promise!"

The officials bowed to Chen Pingping and left one by one.After everyone else had left, Li Xin took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Chen Ping.

"What is this?" Chen Ping asked.

"This is a letter from your husband. It's for you, but I don't know why it was delivered to me." Li Xin said.

Chen Ping also showed some curiosity on his face, and then opened the envelope. After reading the letter, Chen Ping's expression remained unchanged and he just said lightly

"It's nothing. Someone has accused us of what we did in Yuyang County. The teacher's letter is here to blame us, saying that what we did in Yuyang County is too serious and has aroused the resentment of many people. He said We have trampled the majesty of Qin Fa under our feet."

Li Xin's face changed when he heard this and he was a little scared. Although Li Xin usually relies on his family to rush into anything, he is not a fool. There are some things that he really can't do. Chong, especially this sentence of contempt for Qin Fa, was enough to make both of them fall to the ground.

"General Li is scared?" Chen Ping said with a smile.

Li Xin rolled his eyes at Chen Ping, but still admitted generously.

"The label of contempt for Qin Fa is put on my head. Not to mention that all my achievements in the war to destroy the country have been wiped out. My family will also be implicated because of this. Can I not be afraid?"

Chen Ping smiled lightly and said

"Don't worry, if the court really wants to punish me, this letter should be the King's edict to punish me, and I won't hand it to you first and then let you hand it to me."

"How do you say this?" Li Xin asked.

"The letter said that General Mengwu swept away King Youxian's troops and was about to return to the court. This attack on the grassland can be said to have captured a lot. More importantly, a large number of Huns surrendered this time and became the servants of the Qin army. , the wheat season is coming soon. After harvesting this crop of grain, it will be time to start a war with Zhao State. As the rear of Zhao State, Yuyang County will definitely have to attack from both front and back."

Before Chen Ping finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xin.
"I know all these things, the main ones."

Chen Ping was not angry because of Li Xin's words but continued.
"So what came here was the teacher's letter advising us not to go too far, not the king's confession. The teacher also said that the king asked me to return to the court after the war between Qin and Zhao to report on my duties. This is to give us the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and let us use our merits. Erase our affairs in Yuyang County."

"I see, I'm good at fighting, just leave it to me." Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that fighting was a way to atone for sins. He himself felt that what they did in Yuyang County during this period was excessive, and the entire Yuyang County was old. Eighty percent of the dignitaries of Yan were killed by the two of them, as well as many scholars. This offended many people, especially many of these scholars were Confucian people. If it was just a few individuals, it would be impossible within Confucianism. There were criticisms against Chen Ping, so it was enough to see what the two of them did in Yuyang County.

"Things are not that simple. If it is an ordinary merit, it will not work. At least one young master must be caught. The teacher said, let us keep an eye on Mr. Jia in Dai County." Chen Ping said.

"Gongzi Jia? The eldest son of King Zhao Youxiang? Wasn't he put under house arrest by King Zhao in Handan? How could he be captured in Dai County?" Li Xin asked.

"That's what the teacher said, but he didn't say what to do." Chen Ping said.

"Sir, there must be a reason for what he said. Anyway, our task is to involve the idea of ​​Yanmenguan in Daijun, which will make Li Mu exhausted and unable to take care of the overall situation. As long as Young Master Jia is in Daijun, I will definitely be able to catch him. Things in the court can be done It's been pacified, but what about the people? Are the Confucians still watching you?" Li Xin asked with some worry.

The reason why Li Xin is worried about Chen Ping is that on the one hand, the two have a very good relationship with each other during the year to pacify Yuyang County. On the other hand, Li Xin knows that Chen Ping will be the prime minister in the future, and Li Xin The family also placed their treasure on Chen Ping. Chen Ping was an ally of the Li family among civil servants. Naturally, Chen Ping could not be allowed to have his official career cut off due to reputation issues.

"As long as you know what's going on," Li Xin said.

Chen Ping looked at the map of Yuyang County hanging on the side, but his eyes fell on a small, imperceptible place adjacent to Yuyang County - Weiguo.

When Meng Wu led his army back to Xianyang, it attracted much attention. Conquering foreign tribes and expanding territory were always things that the people wanted to see. Although they did not personally participate in this matter, they still had a sense of sharing weal and woe.

The Jinren and Wang Banners of King Youxian's tribe were placed at the forefront of the spoils, followed by a group of nobles from King Youxian's tribe. After entering the city, Meng Wu went directly towards the Qin Palace and paid his respects. After Yingzheng was defeated, it was about offering prisoners to the Imperial Ancestral Temple. After all the matters were over, Zhao Gao read out the reward in public, and a celebration banquet was held.

At the celebration banquet, He Yangli and Abatu looked inferior. The two surrendered to the Qin State, causing civil strife in the Xiongnu camp. Meng Wu directly cited their contributions, so they were qualified to enter this time. Celebration banquet.

At the celebration banquet, Ying Zheng also said what He Yangli and Abatu wanted to hear most. Ying Zheng sealed the fertile grassland outside Beidi County that originally belonged to the Hulin tribe to the two tribes, and at the same time gave They managed the power of the grassland tribes, and also arranged for civil servants, ceremonial officers and judges to go to the two tribes to start education. The two of them were eager for Ying Zheng to do this.After following the army into the Qin Kingdom, the prosperity they saw made them dizzy. Especially in Xianyang and the Qin Palace, they were shocked beyond words. The prosperity of Xianyang and the solemnity and magnificence of the Qin Palace made them speechless. The two of them thought that they had entered heaven, and they were even more glad that it was the best choice to join Qin.

After seeing the prosperity of the Qin State, they looked down on the life of the grassland. They hoped that Ying Zheng would assimilate the two tribes as soon as possible and integrate into the Qin State. Ying Zheng did not even ask them to send the noble youths from their tribes to study in Xianyang. The two of them took the initiative to say this, which made Ying Zheng feel that the two of them were very knowledgeable about current affairs, so he rewarded the two of them with a lot of money, which made the two of them kneel down and thank them.

The Qin Kingdom was peaceful, but the grassland was not pretty, because after the news spread that King You Xian's tribe had been raided by the Qin army, King Zuo Xian and Mao Dun, who were originally at war with each other, stopped what they were doing.

King Zuo Xian reluctantly gave up the idea of ​​attacking Maodun, and Maodun was in shock at this time. He originally thought that Qin could defeat King Youxian, but it would not be easy and would take longer, but he did not expect Qin to defeat King Youxian. The army actually swept away the entire Youxian King's tribe so quickly. Such a fast battle caught him off guard.

For this reason, Mao Dun immediately began to actively prepare to attack King Zuoxian. The strength of Qin gave Mao Dun a sense of crisis. He knew that once Qin unified the Central Plains, the next step would be the grasslands, so he must unify the Huns and further unify them. Only grassland can compete with Qin.

Just as Modu was actively preparing, the matter was stopped by Gongyang Ling and Wei Zhuang.

"What do you mean, Prime Minister? Why do you want to stop our attack on King Zuoxian?" Mao Dun looked at Gongyang Ling dissatisfied.

"Great Shanyu calm down, now is not the time to start a war with King Zuo Xian"

Before Gongyang Ling could finish his words, he was interrupted by Modu.

"King You Xian's tribe was destroyed by Qin, and King Zuo Xian's tribe lacked support. With our current strength, we will not lose if we start a war with King Zuo Xian's tribe, and the Da Yueshi also agreed to join us in attacking King Zuo Xian's tribe. ." Modun said.

"Did Dan forget the Hu people?" Gongyang Ling said.

When Gongyang Ling mentioned the Hu people, Mao Dun was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked at the map. On the map, Gongyang Ling had marked the recent movements of the Hu people. The Hu people's army was almost reaching the Huns' territory.

Suddenly there was a cold sweat on Maodun's back. If he really went to war with King Zuo Xian, and he could not defeat King Zuo Xian, the barbarians would steal his home first.

"As long as the Great Chanyu saw it, now is not the time for us to go to war with King Zuo Xian. We should join forces with King Zuo Xian to destroy the barbarians first." Gongyang Ling said.

Mao Dun hesitated for a moment and then agreed.The Hu people were eyeing him, so he had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​attacking King Zuo Xian and began to send people to make peace with King Zuo Xian, preparing to destroy the Hu people together first.

In June, as the first crop of grain was harvested, the entire Qin State began to actively prepare for war.

In the King's Mansion, Ziyou was handling military affairs. Qin was already preparing to attack Zhao, and troops and supplies from various places began to be mobilized.

Looking at the military affairs that were piled up like a mountain, Yuki-onna opened one at random and then closed it again. She felt a headache just looking at these things.

"Sir, can you handle it by yourself? Shouldn't Mr. Zhang Cang handle these material issues?" Xue Nu asked curiously.

"Of course not. These are military supplies. The grain and grass are naturally handled by senior brothers, but more military supplies are handled by Shao Zuofu. However, the premise of all this is that I have to make good arrangements and arrange the approximate quantity and army. At the designated position, we will fight on three fronts this time," Ziyou said.

"Three-front war? Shangdang County, Yuyang County, Dong County, three-line war. Do you think too highly of Li Mu? But Shangdang County and Yuyang County let Li Mu focus on one thing and not the other, right?" Jing salamander said with some surprise after hearing this. .

Concubine Yan also nodded. They had always felt that Ziyou looked too high on Li Mu. Even though Li Mu was the No. 1 general in the world and Lord Wu'an of Zhao State, facing the powerful Qin State, he could be killed by just using national power. Today's Zhao State.

"The battle between Qin and Zhao cannot be delayed, it must be fought quickly. Once it is delayed, everyone in the Zhao Kingdom will recall the original Battle of Changping. At that time, the Zhao Kingdom wanted to drag Qin into the water with the belief that both jade and stone would be destroyed. Ziyou shook his head and said.

Naturally, it would not be a big problem for Qin to attack Zhao, but Qin and Zhao are feuding. Once Zhao fights Qin to the death with the belief that they will be destroyed together, the gains will outweigh the losses, and a quick decision must be made.

"Didn't the Academy of Sciences develop a new weapon? Sir, he said before that it was specially designed to restrain cavalry." Yuki-onna said.

When they heard Xue Nu talking about the newly developed weapons of the Academy of Sciences, everyone also thought of the explosions that kept ringing in the Academy of Sciences. Ziyou also nodded and said
"Gunpowder can naturally help us defeat cavalry, but gunpowder is not a decisive victory condition."

Gong Shuhai has successfully developed gunpowder, and has also initially mastered the use of gunpowder. Some land mines, bombs and rockets have been developed, but they are still researching Ziyou's firearms. After all, there are no blueprints. You didn't understand the specific process of making firearms, so he just put forward a rough idea for Gongshujia and Mojia to study.

Since the Mohist family decided to rely on the Qin State, the Mohist lineage has come to the Academy of Sciences and Qin Mo to reorganize the Mohist organ skills, while Mo Bian and the Mohist sect have all moved into the Great Qin Academy. With the support of the Qin State, the decline The Mohist debate also developed rapidly, and at the same time, the debate between Confucianism and Mohism in the Great Qin Academy began to become fierce. However, because this is Xianyang, the debate did not turn into a fight, but fights also occurred several times. This time, it even alarmed Ying Zheng, who also secretly watched several fights between hundreds of scholars with great interest.

"Didn't you say you were going to Zhao Country before? Are we still going now?" Xue Nu asked.

"Go, I must personally take charge of the affairs of Zhao State. Without enough commitment, it is impossible for Guo Kai's character to make up his mind." Ziyou said.

This time, Ziyou was planning to personally take command of the attack on Zhao, but he was not planning to stay in the army, but was planning to go to Zhao.

"Then when will we set off?" Snow Girl asked.

"Wait until these things are taken care of." Ziyou pointed at the military affairs and said.

"Ok."

Xue Nu no longer disturbed Zi You. After Zi You spent a few days handling military affairs, he went to meet Ying Zheng and told him about going to Zhao State. After arranging everything, Zi You went there with a few people. Zhao State.
