Thousand-year-old family: its rise began with Shang Yang’s reforms

Chapter 88 Don’t move! Move or die! [First update, please read and collect]

Chen Zhan and his two men were very cautious in their strategy. They captured the vendors selling grain, but they did not alert the snake.

But without the food supply from these vendors, Yiqu didn't know it and still prepared food for the winter as originally planned, so the food would not be enough.

When there was not enough food, Yiqu and King Yiqu could only take desperate measures and invade Qin's borders.

Only in this case would Yiqu make a mistake in his busy schedule. When King Yiqu led his troops to invade nearby Qin villages to obtain food, Chen Zhan could lead his Qingqi directly to Yiqu's nest.

The day has come to conquer Yiqu Country.

The border between Yiqu and Qin
  For some reason, King Yiqu always felt uneasy, as if something was about to happen. He rode his horse and stopped there with some hesitation, looking hesitant.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"But what are the concerns?"

King Yiqu sighed faintly, said nothing but waved his hand, ordering the soldiers to continue moving forward.

He did not express his uneasiness, because logically nothing would happen at this time, not to mention that now that the troops had been sent out, it was already too late to hesitate.

Speaking out your worries at this time will only affect the morale of the entire army.

"Nothing, let's go."

King Yiqu crossed his legs and walked away.

The soldiers behind them whipped their horses one after another, and the vast team set off.

This invasion of the Qin border was just for plunder!
  Xianyang City

Zhangtai Palace
  There was a little regret on Ying Si's cheek: "Sir, don't you want to stay longer?"

Meng Ke sat opposite him, with a respectful expression, but a very firm look in his eyes. He bowed his hands in salute, and then whispered: "Your Majesty, Ke's wish has been fulfilled. Now Xianyang Academy has become The world-famous academy is of no use to me if I stay in Qin."

He looked in the distance and said in a calm voice: "The world is in turmoil, but Ke just wants to show his ambition and make the people of the world healthy."

"Furthermore, in the past, Confucius traveled around the world to learn the way of the heart. My knowledge is not as good as Confucius. How can I not accomplish what Confucius accomplished back then?"

Meng Ke's voice was filled with determination: "Please give me your permission, Your Majesty."

Although Ying Si felt sorry in his heart, he also knew that Meng Ke's ambitions could not be realized in Qin. In other words, in today's world, no king would accept Mencius's political ideas.

After all, they are all princes, so who doesn’t understand whom at all?
  Wanting to replace Zhou and become the common master of the world is the common wish of all the princes.

So he had to say: "That's fine."

"Then it will be according to Meng Qing's wishes."

He looked at Meng Ke and said, "If one day Sir is willing to stop in the State of Qin, then the State of Qin will still be waiting for your arrival at any time."

Meng Ke saluted slightly, said a few more words, and then stood up.

He straightened his clothes a little, and then straightened his hair crown. At this time, he looked like a fighter.

There was a wind outside the palace, and the wind gently blew his robe, making him look free and unruly.

As Meng Ke walked out, he was thinking a lot. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to chant something, but he didn't know what to say at this moment.

Finally, he chanted in a low and powerful voice.

"Fish is what I want; bear's paw is also what I want. You can't have both, and those who give up the fish and take the bear's paw are also."

"Life is what I want; righteousness is what I want. You can't have both, and those who give up life for righteousness."

Whatever the name desires, the heart also desires, and one should cultivate one's mind while giving up fame and fortune.    In Zhangtai Palace
  After Meng Ke left, Ying Si sat there with a sad look on his face. He felt sorry for losing a talent like Mencius, but he was not sad because of the loss, but loved him very much.

He let out a long sigh and said, "The battle between schools is indeed extremely cruel."

"I just don't know what will happen to Xianyang Academy after Meng Ke leaves?"

Xianyang Academy
  The news that Meng Ke was about to leave quickly spread throughout the academy. The disciples and teachers in the academy were all saddened by the departure of a truly talented person, but there was nothing they could do about it. .

They all know that even if Meng Ke stays in Qin, he will definitely not be reused.

Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others could only sigh quietly and then dispersed.

Meng Ke's courtyard
  Gongshu also stood in front of Meng Ke, with a look of regret on his face: "Why do you have to leave? Is it because Qin is not good enough?"

"So what if I can't be reused? As long as you endure, there will always be time."

Meng Ke just shook his head and chuckled: "What you and I want are different."

"What you ask for is to settle down and live in peace, while what I ask for is to show what I have learned. This is inevitable."

"Even if—"

Gongshu also looked at Meng Ke and said, "Even if you knew that, even if you went to other countries, no country would accept your talent and appoint you as the prime minister?"

Meng Ke smiled casually: "What's the point?"

"Is it possible that before I came to Qin, I wasn't running around like a lost dog?"

Meng Ke had already looked away at this time, and now he just wanted to follow his inner actions.

frontier
  King Yiqu had just arrived at the border. He just took a look at the surrounding environment and felt a bad premonition growing in his heart.

Until yesterday, he had not seen anyone along the way.

King Yiqu frowned slightly and suddenly pulled the rope in his hand. Just when he was about to order an immediate retreat, he suddenly felt a turbulence on the ground!
  Smoke and dust were everywhere in the distance, and a hearty laughter came from the distance.

"Hahahahahaha, King Yiqu! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

It was Sima who was wrong!
  It is twenty miles outside the border of Yiqu State.

Chen Zhan sat on the horse and jumped up, almost as if he was flying. Behind him he led nearly a thousand light cavalry, which was almost all the cavalry in the Qin State!
  He takes these cavalry to attack Yiqu today!

Yiqu State, at the gate of the city.

Taking advantage of the darkness, someone quietly opened the blocked city gate, and sparks were bright in the distance. Chen Zhan had already been prepared for everything when he came to the military camp more than a month ago, or even two months ago. .

He cut off food and forced King Yiqu to go hunting. He contacted spies from Yiqu State to cooperate with outsiders, and then launched a brazen attack on Yiqu State.

In the city, the people who were still sleeping had no idea, but the people in the palace had been captured by these soldiers!
  The royal palace, the residence of the prince.

"bump--"

With a strong step under his feet, the closed door was kicked open. Chen Zhan held the sword in his hand and looked at Prince Yiqu who had been awakened, but his face was stunned or something, and he did not speak.

Prince Yiqu originally wanted to resist with weapons, but Chen Zhan's words made him give up this idea.

"Don't move, move or die!"
