Chapter 21
Although the King of Qin was delighted to benefit from the grassland, what really made him happy was to expand the territory. He became a king of pioneers and could leave his name in history.Sure enough, he was right about Xiang Shaolong, and named Xiang Shaolong "Champion Marquis".
Xiang Shaolong didn't feel much about Fenghou, but when he learned that he was called "Champion Marquis", he was overjoyed. This was Huo Qubing's title.In the competitions of later generations, the first is called the "champion". Could it be that the Xiongnu is destined to be the runner-up, whoever wins him will be the first, and the Xiongnu is the second in the legend.In the future, when the Central Plains are unified and the Xiongnu proclaim their vassals, you can suggest that their Chanyu be named "Yu Junhou".
Xiang Shaolong and Wang Jian attacked in turn, and the development of the frontier was changing with each passing day.
Just as the frontier was developing step by step, King Qin suddenly summoned Xiang Shaolong back to Xianyang.
In this year (247 BC), Wang Lu conquered the cities of Shangdang and established it as Taiyuan County.Lu Buwei took advantage of the hostility between Wei and Zhao, and sent Meng Ao to conquer Wei and attack Zhao, taking down 37 cities.This prompted the Eastern kingdoms to unite again. Lord Xinling Wei Wuji led the coalition forces of Yan, Zhao, Han, Chu, and Wei to attack Qin. Meng Ao was defeated and retreated to Hangu Pass.
Lu Buwei was eager for quick success and wanted to continue to attack, but the military suggested sticking to it, and the two sides were at loggerheads.
At this time, Xiang Shaolong was an official worshiped general, and he had swept Mobei for three years, and his reputation was illustrious. At this time of dilemma, the King of Qin thought of Xiang Shaolong.
Xiang Shaolong asked Wang Jian to control all the border affairs, and returned to Xianyang day and night.
When he arrived in Xianyang, he went directly to the palace to meet the King of Qin.
Above the main hall, civil and military officials lined up on both sides, arguing deeply.The King of Qin was overjoyed to hear that Xiang Shaolong had an audience, and hurriedly summoned him.
Looking at the dusty Xiang Shaolong, King Qin was both happy and unbearable, and said: "Shaolong has worked hard all the way."
Xiang Shaolong knelt down and said, "Know Your Majesty."
Qin Wangdao: "Pingshen. Shaolong already knows the matter. Will Shaolong support the attack or stick to it?"
Xiang Shaolong didn't ask other people's opinions, and said directly: "I'm in charge."
Lu Buwei said loudly: "Taiyuan County, Sanchuan County, and Shangdang County are related to the rise and fall of our Great Qin Dynasty's hegemony. If Wuji's son Chen Bing is allowed to pass, once the three counties fall, it will be even more disadvantageous."
General Du Bi said: "The Allied Forces of the Five Nations are vigorous and vigorous. If they abandon the danger of Hangu Pass and go to battle rashly, once they are defeated, Hangu Pass may not be able to survive. At that time, the Allied Forces will march straight forward, and the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty may be destroyed. At this moment It is better to defend than to attack."
Ji Gongdao, an important military official: "Mr. Xinling is a resourceful man. He defeated our army outside HD City back then. We can learn from the past."
General Xu Xian interjected: "Our army has just been defeated, and our spirit has been weakened. Even if Sun Wu is resurrected, we must temporarily avoid the edge."
The King of Qin asked, "What is Shaolong's reason?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "The Hangu Pass occupies a plateau in the west, Juejian in the east, Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Yellow River in the north. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It can be said that one man guards the pass and ten thousand cannot open it. With General Meng's ability, it is not difficult to defend. Our Great Qin is growing stronger and stronger, but we still can’t win a war to rule the world. The six countries in the east are constantly dirty. This time, it’s the rivalry between Wei and Zhao that gave us an opportunity. Now we have 37 cities, and we have taken advantage of it. Enough is enough. .Continuing will have to face the power of the alliance of all countries, but it will hurt both sides. It will hurt the vitality of our Great Qin, and it will not be conducive to our great Qin's unification of the six countries. For the current plan, we should develop ourselves with peace of mind and let the six countries kill each other. After I mature, it will not be too late for me, Daqin, to go east."
Xiang Shaolong had said these words to King Qin three years ago, and proposed a plan of "economic aggression".
But this time King Qin was still persuaded by Lu Buwei, so he was defeated today.
The King of Qin said: "How can the coalition forces Chen Bing go out of the pass?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "The soul of He Zong is Lord Xinling. Once Lord Xinling is gone, the siege of the coalition forces will be relieved."
King Qin asked: "How can I go to Lord Xinling?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Mr. Xinling's prestige is outstanding, and he is tabooed by the King of Wei. Does the King of Wei really hope that Lord Xinling will return with a big victory? He is not afraid that the day of Lord Xinling's triumphant return will be the time when he will confer the title? Since the military situation is urgent , I would like to send an envoy to the State of Wei to withdraw troops for the king."
King Qin exclaimed: "No, now that the two countries are at war, how can Shaolong put himself in danger?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "This is the fastest way to force Lord Xinling to retreat."
The King of Qin said: "Shaolong, you are my Great General of Qin. It is too dangerous for you to be sent as an envoy to the Kingdom of Wei. Is there no other way?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty, you have been discussing for several days. If there is another way, then you don't have to wait until I come back. Thanks to Your Majesty's attention, at this time of crisis, I would not dare to die Serve your Majesty." These words were so eloquent that King Qin's heart became hot.
Lu Buwei said: "Your Majesty, what Shaolong said is reasonable. I have been discussing for many days and there is no result. The strategy of Shaolong is indeed the most effective way."
For Xiang Shaolong, Lu Buwei held a grudge in his heart.Originally, the Wu family came to Xianyang to rely on themselves, and the financial resources of the Wu family will be their important support.But Xiang Shaolong skipped himself and hooked up with the crown prince directly, and was appreciated by the king, so he got out of his control, so he couldn't get help from the Wu family.In the past three years, the Wu family has not done anything for themselves.Moreover, Xiang Shaolong was trusted by the king, and he was his enemy. He proposed such a dangerous method, so he pushed the boat along the way, and with the help of Wei Guo, it would be best to kill him, so he strongly supported Xiang Shaolong's mission to Wei Guo.
Xiang Shaolong has been making good friends with the military all these years, drawing a clear line with Lu Buwei, so he has won the favor of the military, especially Xu Xian, Wang Lu, and Gong Gong, so the military all oppose Xiang Shaolong's mission to Wei.
As for civil officials like Cai Ze and Wang Wan, or the royal family, there was no objection or approval.Going to Wei State as an envoy is indeed the best way at present, if you oppose Xiang Shaolong's going, do you want to go for him?But it's not like Lu Buwei wants to put Xiang Shaolong in danger.
King Qin didn't want Xiang Shaolong to be in danger, so he just shook his head.
Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty, if we offer some benefits, this trip may not necessarily mean death."
The King of Qin asked, "What kind of benefits do we want to offer?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "This matter needs to be considered further, it cannot be decided in a hurry."
King Qin glanced at everyone and asked, "Do you have any other solutions?"
The crowd was silent.
The King of Qin sighed inwardly: "In all civil and military dynasties, only this little dragon is brave and loyal to the country."
King Qin said: "Then I will leave it to Shaolong. Shaolong will stay, and the others will step down."
After everyone retreated, only King Qin and Xiang Shaolong were left.
The King of Qin said: "Shaolong has expanded thousands of miles in the northern border, and his martial arts are world-class. Now even the mission of envoy to Wei country depends on Shaolong. I am ashamed of Shaolong!"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty, Xiang Shaolong won His Majesty's trust, and he can't repay him. What's more, I proposed the envoy, how can he put others in danger?"
The King of Qin said: "The civil and military disputes in the Manchu Dynasty have been arguing for many days. It is Shaolong who may relieve the worries of the widows! Shaolong, do you have a plan in mind? Will King Wei (Anli) fall into the trap?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Your Majesty, this is not a plan, but it is really possible, and we are just poking at it. If we don't say it, King Wei won't think so?"
King Qin said, "How does Shaolong plan to convince King Wei?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "I haven't figured it out yet, I can only adapt to the situation when the time comes, this mission will definitely sacrifice some economic benefits, please give me the right to be arbitrary."
The King of Qin said: "Since Shaolong entered our Great Qin Dynasty, he has been loyal and dedicated to the country. If Shaolong is not trustworthy, there is no one who can be trusted. Well, Shaolong will make his own decisions about going to Wei State, and report back soon. Can."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your Majesty's entrustment."
The King of Qin said: "Go and see the prince. You are not in Xianyang these few years, and the prince often complains that the widow sent you to the northern border."
Xiang Shaolong said: "Yes. I have been communicating with the prince, and I am also very concerned about it."
Qin Wang smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's not just the prince, but also keeps communicating with Mrs. Qin."
Xiang Shaolong smiled awkwardly.
The King of Qin continued: "Teacher Qin is the most talented woman in my Daqin, and she is not worthy of ordinary people. Shaolong's character and talent are top notch in my Daqin, and even in the world. If I am willing to match, it depends on Shaolong It's up to me."
Xiang Shaolong was overjoyed, and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
King Qin said: "Go, Master Qin should be teaching the prince now."
Xiang Shaolong resigned.
I haven't seen her for three years, but the goddess of Qin is still beautiful, and seems to be more bookish; and the prince is even taller, with sharp-edged face, sharp eyebrows, high nose bridge, and thick lips. The momentum of Megatron.
Seeing Xiang Shaolong coming, the two were pleasantly surprised, stopped the lecture, and greeted them together.
Xiang Shaolong greeted first, cupped his fists, and said, "I've met the prince. Master Qin is very polite."
Prince Zheng happily said: "There is no need to be too polite. Taifu Xiang, you are back. You have not fulfilled your duties as a Tutor these years, so you don't have to leave again when you come back this time."
Qin Qing also said: "Mr. Xiang is very polite! In the past three years, Mr. Xiang has shaken the north of Mobei, from being an official to a general. Congratulations."
Xiang Shaolong said: "I'm going to send an envoy to the State of Wei soon to relieve the siege on the front line."
The Crown Prince was startled and said: "The two countries are at war, wouldn't it be too dangerous to go to Wei as an envoy? Who came up with the idea to send Xiang Taifu to the enemy's country?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "I proposed it myself. Everyone has discussed it for several days but there is no result. The front line is urgent, so I can't wait any longer. Your Majesty has given me the power of discretion, so I should be able to escape unscathed."
Prince Zheng said: "How can Xiang Taifu put himself in a dangerous situation. Lu Buwei insisted on sending troops at the beginning, but now that the army is defeated, he wants Xiang Taifu to take risks to solve the problem. Why doesn't he go out on his own?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "Sending troops and sending envoys are important national affairs, how can we distinguish them so clearly? What's more, we have gained something from sending troops this time."
Qin Qing admired Xiang Shaolong's attitude of being dedicated to the public, but he was also worried: "When will Taifu Xiang leave? Is there anything Qin Qing can do for you?"
Xiang Shaolong said: "When I return to Xianyang, I will go directly to the palace to meet the king. Time is running out, and I will go on an envoy soon after returning home. Taifu Laoqin is worried about him, so Taifu Qin can teach the prince with peace of mind. Shaolong's visit here is a matter of course. Visiting the prince and Taifu Qin, I haven't seen each other for three years, I miss you in my heart, and the second is to say goodbye."
