Martial arts crossing begins with the story of looking for Qin

Chapter 58
Zhao Cong and Sima Shang were defeated and killed.

Zhao Mu didn't dare to ask the Qin army for the land they occupied in Zhao State, but he only hoped that they would stop here and not go any further.

But it's easier to ask God to send God away, if you have Yan Jun, you will help you beat Yan Jun, if you don't have Yan Jun, you will beat you directly.

Prince Dan was deeply afraid of being on the border with Qiang Qin, and wanted to unite with Qi and Chu to send troops to rescue Zhao.But Qi State was timid, and Chu State did not border Zhao, so they refused to send troops. Yan State had to send troops by itself if it wanted to save Zhao State.The state of Zhao had already been beaten and disabled, and it was useless for the state of Yan to send troops by itself, so it had no choice but to stand still.

The Qin army's soldiers are invincible.Zhao Mu was trapped in Dai County, and his ammunition and food were exhausted.Xiang Shaolong told Wang Jian that Zhao Mu wanted to catch him alive, and at the same time he wrote a letter with Zhao Mu to persuade him to surrender.

When Zhao Mu asked Xiang Shaolong for help, he thought that the Qin State might take advantage of it, but considering that if it fell into Zhao Cong's hands, he would surely die, so he had no choice but to ask Xiang Shaolong for help.

Now seeing Xiang Shaolong's persuading letter and knowing that Wang Jian wanted to keep him alive, he thought it was because of his friendship with Xiang Shaolong, Xiang Shaolong wanted to save his life, so Kaesong surrendered.

But they didn't know that Xiang Shaolong took the living for the Queen Mother.Years ago when Xiang Shaolong was sent as an envoy to Zhao, the queen mother wanted Zhao Mu's head.Xiang Shaolong considered that the timing was not ripe, so he did not agree, but he promised the Queen Mother that one day she would let her kill the enemy with her own hands.

When Xiang Shaolong saw Zhao Mu again, Zhao Mu lost the demeanor he had when Juluhou Quan was in power.He became old, haggard, submissive, and he didn't even dare to look up at Xiang Shaolong.

Zhu Ji is now under house arrest in Yongcheng, so Xiang Shaolong did not directly hand Zhao Mu over to Zhu Ji, but imprisoned him in Xianyang first.

Xiang Shaolong did not dare to mention the Empress Dowager to Qin Wangzheng.The empress dowager's filth and chaos in the harem were regarded by Qin Wangzheng as a great shame and shame, and Qin Wangzheng's gradually revealed viciousness made Xiang Shaolong flinch.

At this time, there was a man named Mao Jiao from the state of Qi, who admonished the king of Qin, not talking about right or wrong, but proceeding from the general trend of the world.King Qin followed Mao Jiao's advice and welcomed the Queen Mother back.

Only then did Xiang Shaolong hand Zhao Mu over to Zhu Ji, Zhu Ji didn't care whether he killed or killed Xiang Shaolong.

The King of Qin felt that Mao Jiao was not afraid of him, had earned a good reputation for himself, and was a minister who dared to advise, so he named him Shangqing.

The Zhao State was destroyed, and only Qin, Yan, Qi, and Chu remained in the world.

Qin Wangzheng took advantage of the prestige of destroying Zhao State, the army returned triumphantly, pushed forward the reform forcefully, and implemented the "three lords and nine ministers system".

The Taiwei is the highest military officer. He has a position but no one. The military power is firmly in the hands of King Qin.

Xiang Shaolong worshiped the prime minister and was the head of all officials.Mao Jiao was named Royal Doctor.

But Lu Buwei was only named Fengchang, in charge of the etiquette of the ancestral temple. Although he ranked first among the Jiuqing and had a high status, for Lu Buwei, it was almost the same as being dismissed from office.

Xiang Shaolong felt that such a distribution was unreasonable, and Lu Buwei was equivalent to changing from a prime minister to an idler.

Qin Wangzheng's thoughts have been clearly revealed. He wants to deal with Lu Buwei in the same way he used to deal with Chengjiao, force the rebellion, and then eliminate him. He wants to kill the weeds.He had already had this idea since the rumors that he was Lu Buwei's son came out.

Lu Buwei also finally recognized the true face of his son. He already felt that he was black-bellied enough, but he was far less ruthless than his son, and even more disrespectful.

Lu Buwei knew that even if he didn't rebel now, he would be cornered sooner or later. Qin Wangzheng wanted his life.

Lu Buwei didn't dare to rebel, Qin Wangzheng dared to issue such an order, naturally he had made all the preparations, just waiting for him to get into the trap.

Lu Buwei resigned from office, dispersed all his followers, and went to the fiefdom of Henan with his family in an attempt to save his life.

Once Lu Buwei left, Qin Wangzheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiang Shaolong felt that even if Lu Buwei resigned, Qin Wangzheng might not let him go, but this was no longer his concern.

Xiang Shaolong is not yet 35 years old, but he is currently the most powerful official in the court, he must always be vigilant not to offend Qin Wangzheng.The previous harmonious relationship could not be his talisman, so Xiang Shaolong became more and more low-key.He seldom expresses his opinion when discussing politics, and even if he has an opinion, he will report it to Qin Wangzheng in advance, and usually he will go along with Qin Wangzheng.

Qin Wangzheng also found that Xiang Shaolong was more low-key than when King Zhuang Xiang was in power at this time, he basically never objected to his opinions, and always greeted him in advance, knowing that he was afraid of making himself jealous, but he was happy to do so, so he often went alone Summon Xiang Shaolong.

Qin Wangzheng asked with a smile: "Now that the Zhao Kingdom has been destroyed, does the Prime Minister have any plans for the rest of the country?"

Qin Wangzheng has a friendly attitude and does not treat Xiang Shaolong as an outsider, but Xiang Shaolong strictly observes etiquette and dare not treat the king as a child anymore.

Xiang Shaolong said: "My lord, the Qi State has not participated in the war in the Central Plains for many years, partly because of corrupt officials who accepted bribes from my Great Qin, and also because they were afraid of being beaten by the coalition forces back then. Since then, they have been very weak and watched me coldly. Great Qin annexed the Three Jins. It is not difficult to win, and it is best to persuade them to surrender. Yan Taizidan is a character, but it is a pity that Yan State is weak, and Yan Wangxi is fatuous. He is strong, but he is also the best. Chu State adopts the same enfeoffment system as the Zhou family, the central power is dispersed, the royal family is weak, but the monarch is powerful. It is difficult for him to integrate the national power, the decision-making efficiency is low, and the war mobilization is slow. The transportation of luggage is not smooth, etc. The royal power is constrained by Ling Yin and the major families and tribes. Partition prevents Chu from becoming truly powerful. We should not regard Chu as a country, but every small country that he divided As a country, you can only send a large army to wipe them out one by one, don't hope that if you destroy the royal family, the whole Chu country will surrender."

He knew that in history, Li Xin lightly said that he would destroy Chu with 20 troops, but he was defeated by Xiang Yan. In the end, veteran Wang Jian led an army of 60 troops and it took nearly two years to destroy Chu.

Qin Wangzheng said: "Then where should we take first?"

Xiang Shaolong said: "Send troops to the grassland, drive out the Xiongnu and Donghu tribes, occupy the Korean peninsula, and put pressure on the Yan State in the north. Over the years, our army has adapted to the grassland warfare, and does not rely on the supplies from the Central Plains. Population, wars are used to support wars. The Qi State uses troops, and after the Qi State is destroyed, it forms a siege to the Yan State. The Yan State has always been weak and will not be able to resist."

Qin Wangzheng asked: "What if the Chu State sends troops to attack us? The north and the south are at war at the same time. As you said, Chu State is a big country after all. I am afraid that if we divide our troops, we will face bitter battles on both fronts."

Xiang Shaolong said: "For Chu, we just need to stick to it. Over the years, we have been attacking. My arsenal has produced a lot of defensive weapons, but I have never used them. This time they are all sent to the border of Qin and Chu. Mohist The members of the guild are good at defending. Yan Ping, as a member of the Mohist guild, uses printing to spread the Mohist ideology and develops the Mohist guild to a great extent. We must concentrate our superior forces to pacify the north as soon as possible, and then immediately send our troops to the south. At that time, it will be up to us to decide whether to fight or not. We must use the whole country to prepare for a protracted war against Chu."

In order to celebrate Qin Wangzheng's taking power and annexing Zhao, two brothers Changping Jun and Chang Wenjun invited the world's No.1 Ji Fengfei to perform.

Feng Fei can be called the superstar of the emperor in this era, but ordinary people are not qualified to appreciate it. Those who are lucky enough to appreciate her dance are a group of dignitaries.

To be able to perform in front of the King of Qin, Feng Fei worked extraordinarily hard.

The jewel-like eyes, the rosy skin, and the petite body all look so lovable.With a melodious singing voice and graceful dancing posture, she really deserves the reputation of No.1 Ji in the world.

Although Xiang Shaolong thought it was pleasing to the eye, but with his appreciation ability, he didn't see that it was much better than those court singers, but the bonus of star halo was still there.

After a court song and dance performance, Qin Wangzheng smiled lightly, and said to Changping Jun: "Very well, let them go to the barracks to perform a few more performances, it can be regarded as a reward to my brave soldiers of the Great Qin."

Mr. Changping was taken aback, the military camp is so big, there are so many soldiers, and there is no TV broadcast at this time, all have to be broadcast live, how to act?And these are all performers he paid for, not his own singers or subordinates, they can do whatever they want, and they didn't talk about it when they came.

But the king of Qin didn't care about these things, he ordered them to go on, and ignored the rest.

Xiang Shaolong kept winking at Lord Changping, telling him to respond, now is not the time to raise difficulties.

Mr. Changping quickly said yes.

After Changping came down, he complained, saying: "Prime Minister, how can we act in the barracks? The barracks are too big, and there are so many people. If you are far away, you can't see anything at all."

Xiang Shaolong smiled slightly, and said: "Your Majesty's words are orders, if there are difficulties, you must do it, if there are no difficulties, you must do it if you create difficulties. If there are no difficulties, how can you show your ability."

Mr. Changping didn't care about Xiang Shaolong's humor at all, and he couldn't get the joke of this sentence, and said: "I don't want to show off my skills, if I fail, I will make more trouble."

Xiang Shaolong said: "There are always more solutions than difficulties. The concert tour is just the same as this palace performance. It's just a different place. The scale is well controlled, and there will be a few more performances. Your Majesty cares about the soldiers, so you can't waste your time." Mind."

Mr. Changping frowned and said, "I just talked to her about acting, and the cost is not small."

Xiang Shaolong laughed loudly, and said: "The time has come to share your worries for the king. For you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not everyone has the opportunity to beg the king. If you can't do it, just let it go. There are people I want to do this for the king."

Mr. Chang Ping thought about it, and the king casually said that it was also an imperial decree. What to do, you have to figure out your own way, and said: "Why don't you help me, Mr. Prime Minister, when I invited him, I didn't say that I would play so much! "

Xiang Shaolong said: "When did my Great Qin become so civilized? How can you say that you are also a royal family, and you can't deal with a singing girl?"
