Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 162, Xiaomeng makes an appointment to fight, Lord Changping goes to Chu

Concubine Yan was so funny that she didn't think of the problem of Ziyou's exercises for a while. She helped Ziyou pat the footprints and dust on her body. Ziyou also noticed the white-haired loli Xiaomeng and asked

"Are you Xiaomeng, Master's disciple?"

"Yes." Xiaomeng pulled out the wooden sword from the ground and looked at Ziyou.

"You came to compete with me, right? I can do it now." Ziyou looked at Xiaomeng and said, old guy, I can't beat you, can't I vent my anger on your beloved apprentice?
Xiaomeng looked at Ziyou, put away the sword again and said
"I am not your opponent. I will go to you in three years, and then we will try again."

After finishing talking, Xiaomeng walked into the cave on her own, leaving the closed stone gate to Ziyou and the three of them. Concubine Yan finally laughed when she saw Ziyou's aggrieved expression.

"If you really can't get angry, go to Master Beimingzi, and if you can't, go to Chisongzi. There's no need to teach him a disciple who hasn't grown up yet." Concubine Yan kept lying on Ziyou's body .

"What do you know? I'm called Senior Brother and Junior Sister, purely for the friendship between Confucianism and Taoism." Ziyou said righteously.

Concubine Yan also got up from Ziyou, looked at Ziyou and asked
"Did you ask the question you wanted to ask?"

"The question came out, let's talk about it when we go back. After asking about the Taoism here, we are going to return to Xianyang. The matter of Zhao is over, and then we can wholeheartedly prepare for the destruction of Han." Ziyou said.

"Okay, let's go back." Concubine Yan said.

Bei Mingzi looked at Xiaomeng who walked in with a wooden sword and asked with a smile
"How about it?"

"If I don't make a move, I can't fight." Xiaomeng didn't feel ashamed but said directly. If she knew that the gap was too big and there was no need to fight, she still went to fight. In Xiaomeng's view, this was a waste of time. Use this time to practice.

"I thought you would fight him to feel the difference." Bei Mingzi looked at Xiaomeng and said, Xiaomeng was born with a clear heart, and sometimes Beimingzi felt that Xiaomeng didn't look like a ten-year-old. Not a [-]-year-old girl, but an old man about his age.

"No need, what did you tell him? Is there a solution to his practice?" Xiaomeng asked curiously.

"Yes, but the chance is not great. After the Heaven and Earth were connected back then, the road was broken. Unless there is a big chance or like these sages, relying on their own strength to break through forcibly, or find some remaining trails, but these trails Doomed to be full of crises, I don't know how many people were buried on those small roads." Bei Mingzi said.

"So you chose to forcibly break through with your own strength? Instead of taking the path?" Xiaomeng asked.

"Yes, some people can't find the entrance of the path all their lives. Even if they find it, it may not be the one they want to go. What are you going to do now?" Bei Mingzi looked at Xiaomeng and asked.

"Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly." Xiao Meng said.

Bei Mingzi watched Xiao Meng not speak, and finally sighed and said, "This is your way, you choose it yourself."

Ziyou had already left Mount Taiyi, and Mo Ya was galloping on the road to Xianyang in a carriage. After a few days of running around, Ziyou returned to Xianyang, and at this time the army that had set off for the expedition also returned to Xianyang, and the rewards and so on were all gone. After the completion, Qin State has entered the stage of cultivation again. At the same time, Yingzheng, Li Si, and Lu Buwei are discussing the management of the nine cities they just won.

Zhao State has already handed over the land and household registration to Qin State, which also means that the nine cities completely belong to Qin State. After the land was handed over, the people knew that Zhao Guo had abandoned them, and they could only admit that they had become the people of Qin State.

"Who should govern these cities?" Ying Zheng asked.

"According to the usual practice, a large army should be sent to garrison to prevent civil uprisings. Secondly, local officials should be elected to stabilize the people, and officials from the court should be dispatched to supervise." Li Si said, this is the governance policy that Qin will carry out every time it conquers new land. , Such a policy has advantages and disadvantages. One is that the cost is too high and the governance is not satisfactory, and the other is that it takes time.

"At that time, I think we can use the method proposed by the teacher to send a stable official to take some young people to the place, and let the clan members also come forward." Ying Zheng said.

It has been more than a year since the members of the clan resigned from him. Some of them have returned from traveling, and their appearances have changed. The most changed one is the child of Lord Weiyang, the one who was thrown into Zheng Guoqu As a laborer, after the completion of Zhengguo Canal, the child was thrown by Lord Weiyang to Beijun to guard the border. When Zhao was attacked, he was also sent there, and Lord Weiyang took him back because of his military exploits.

"It's feasible. Let the nine cities of the Zhao Kingdom conduct a trial first. If it is feasible, it can be promoted when the Six Kingdoms are conquered in the future." Lu Buwei Fuxu said.

Qin State now has a reserve of officials to satisfy the destruction of Korea, but these people are still too young and lack enough experience to deal with what may happen at any time, and the current nine cities can simulate enough situations that may arise in the future. It won't be possible to use the old man to lead the newcomer when the time comes, and the newcomer will cause trouble due to lack of experience.

"Then this matter will be left to Father Zhong and Tong Gu. Has the teacher ever returned from Mount Taiyi?" Ying Zheng asked.

"Your Majesty, sir is on the way, about a day away." Zhao Gao said.

"Yeah." Ying Zheng nodded.

Arriving in Xianyang with Ziyou was also the news of the sudden death of King Xiong Wan of Chu. King Xiong Wan of Chu died suddenly. With the support of Lord Chunshen, Prince Xiong Han became the new King of Chu, and the funeral of Xiong Wan ended. After officially enthroned.

After hearing the news, Ying Zheng gathered his inner circle. This is a good opportunity. Ying Zheng has also heard about the fact that Xiong Han is not the child of King Xiong Wan of Chu. This is a good opportunity.

Inside the strategic meeting hall of the Qin Palace.

Ying Zheng stood in front of the sand table on the map of the Seven Kingdoms, looking at his inner circle. Even Mr. Changping, who recently said he was sick at home, also came. Everyone gathered in front of the sand table and looked at the position of Chu State, thinking how to get out of it. Chu Guo tore off a mouthful of fat.

"Now that the king of Chu has died suddenly, and the new king has not yet ascended the throne, I think this is an opportunity." Ying Zheng said.

Li Si thought for a while and said

"I'm afraid it's not just us who are staring at Chu. I heard that the army on the border of Wei has been mobilized recently, and the South Korean army is also the same. They are all moving to the south. I'm afraid it's for Chu."

"Now the old king of Chu has just died, and the new king is young. If there is no suitable reason to attack Chu, it will inevitably be said that we are bullying others." Changping Jun said, "Wei and South Korea probably know something to make such a move. We can Wait a minute, if the allied forces of Wei and Han attack Chu State, if their reasons are right, we can cooperate to attack Chu State. On the contrary, if they rashly use their swords, we can unite Chu State in the name of fighting Wudao to fight war and chaos. Attack the two countries, and then start the war to destroy Korea."

Everyone looked at Mr. Changping. There was nothing wrong with Mr. Changping's words. From the standpoint of Qin State, this was indeed the best choice. Two points are weird, Ying Zheng looked at Mr. Changping with complicated eyes, and said:
"What Mr. Changping said is true. Now that Qin has just gone through the attack on the Warring States, I am afraid it will not be easy to start fighting again. It is better to wait."

"If we want to attack Chu State, Nanjun is the top priority, but the problem of civil uprisings in Nanjun has not been completely resolved. If this problem is not resolved, there is no way to attack Chu State." Lu Buwei said that Nanjun was the one who attacked Chu State in Bai Qi. The old capital, Yingdu, was established, which included a large area of ​​Chu land that was conquered at the beginning, just like Shangdang County was the bridgehead for Qin State to attack the Central Plains, and Nanjun was the front line for Qin State to attack Chu State.

However, because of the hatred between Qin and Chu and the problem of governing Nanjun at the beginning, there has always been a problem of civil uprisings in Nanjun. However, after time and the deterrence of the Qin army, and the replacement of prefects, the uprisings gradually decreased. If Qin and Chu go to war, The state of Chu sent people to agitate the hearts of the people, and it is very likely that there is a rebellion in Nanjun.

"The issue of Nanjun has always been one of the woes of our state of Qin, but the people of old Chu have not changed their minds. This matter needs to be carefully planned." Ying Zheng said.

"The problem of governance in Nanjun has always been a difficult problem. The folk customs of Chu State are different from those of other countries. Most of the officials sent out are local officials of Qin State. Reputable officials governing the people can stabilize the local people, and as for changing the hearts of the people, they can take it easy." Li Si said.

When it comes to people who have enough prestige in Chu, have the ability to govern the country, and are loyal enough to Qin, there is only one person, and everyone looks at Lord Changping, and Lord Changping also looks at other people, Lu Buwei Fuxu said

"When Lord Changping was in Chu State, he was always famous. Now he is the prince of Qin State, the prince's uncle. Whether it is status, status or prestige, it is enough to stabilize the people of Nanjun."

Yingzheng looked at Ziyou, and Zixuan saluted and said
"Mr. Changping is of course the best candidate. Whether it is people's hearts, understanding of the Chu land, or status, Lord Changping will go to Nanjun to stabilize the people. He will be in charge of the army's logistics, and he will be fine."

The two core members of the Qin court, Ziyou and Lu Buwei, both recommended Lord Changping. Although Li Si, who originally wanted to recommend himself, was a little unwilling, he had nothing to say, Lord Changping was indeed more qualified than him to govern Nanjun.

"Sir, I will definitely live up to your majesty's trust." Lord Changping said with a salute.

"Okay, later the widow will issue an edict to let you go to Nanjun, and temporarily serve as the prefect of Nanjun, in charge of all affairs in Nanjun. The famous military and political students have the right to make the first decision. By the way, they will collect food and grass, gather troops, and wait for the army to go to Nanjun at any time." Ying Zheng said.

"No!" Mr. Changping saluted and said.

After deciding on the candidate for the governance of Nanjun, the remaining question is the candidate for the general who will attack Chu State, Ying Zheng said first

"How about letting Feng Wuze and Li Xin lead the troops?"

Feng Wuze is a member of the Feng family. He is a brother of Feng Quji and Feng Jie. He is a general of the Ying family and belongs to the same status as the Meng family. Wu Ze and Feng Jie are responsible for the safety of Xianyang and the Qin Palace. It can be said that these two are the security captains of Ying Zheng. particularity, so no one objected.

Moreover, in attacking Zhao, Wang Jian has already obtained enough military exploits, and it is no problem to attack Chu and give it to the Feng family. As for Meng Wu, the old general Meng Ao passed away, and Meng Wu is still in mourning. Watching other people go out to fight, I should be in mourning, otherwise it should not be Li Xin's turn, but Meng Tian and Feng Wucho will be partners.

"Okay, let Feng Wuze and Li Xin select and deploy 20 soldiers and horses in the Lantian camp, and prepare to attack Chu State." Ying Zheng said. Compared with the [-] soldiers and horses that attacked Zhao State, [-] soldiers and horses can only be said to be more The small number is also because this attack on Chu is just for testing, and their main target is South Korea.

With the end of the discussion, this small meeting also came to an end. After Mr. Changping returned to his mansion, he came to the secret room.

"Your Majesty asked me to govern Nanjun and prepare for the attack on Chu State in the future." Lord Changping said sitting opposite Yan Dan.

"This is an opportunity. You have a lot of prestige in Chu, and the people of Nanjun still miss their homeland. If you go to Nanjun to govern the local people in exchange for people's hearts, wait until Qin State attacks Chu, contact General Xiang Yan, and lead Nanjun Returning to the Chu State in three places, attacking the Qin army, the king's contribution to the Chu State may be unmatched, and the King of Chu's throne will be easily captured." Yan Dan said in surprise.

Yan Dan did not expect that Lord Changping would have a fair and honest reason to return to Chu so soon, and he would not have to worry about being watched in Xianyang. up.

"This is indeed an opportunity, but it still needs careful planning." Mr. Changping is not as excited as Yandan. Although this matter is good for him, the danger is not small. If there is a mistake, Yingzheng will notice him I am afraid that he will die without a place to bury him.

"When will Your Majesty leave?" Yan Dan asked.

"Tomorrow, when King Qin's decree arrives, I will leave. Brother Yandan can then take the opportunity to pretend to be my guard and leave Xianyang with me." Changping Jun said.

"Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty, so that our plan is not far away." Yan Dan said.

"Yes, but we still need to be cautious. Although General Xiang Yan promised to support me, Lord Chunshen is still here, and the attitude of Qu Jingzhao's three clans is not clear. We still need to wait and see about the affairs of Chu State." Changping Lord said, although Xiang Yan is from Chu State. The general holds the military power of Chu State in his hands, but that is only less than half of it. The real military power of Chu State is in the hands of Qu Jingzhao's three clans. More importantly, the three clans control the people's livelihood and finances of Chu State, food, grass, military pay, etc. They all need to nod. It is more important to get the support of Qu Jingzhao's clan than Xiang Yan.
