Bad people in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 405 The Tiger Talisman Unifies
"Brother Guo, just say whatever you want. There is nothing to avoid between us."

After chatting for a while and seeing that Guo Kai was hesitant to speak, Tian Hao smiled and said, indicating that he had something to say.

"Does Brother Li Si know the identity of Brother Haoran?"

Guo Kai asked, he had some doubts in his heart after coming to Qin to know the true identity of this person.

"Brother Guo wanted to ask me if I was plotting against Zhao Guo."

Tian Hao smiled and guessed what Guo Kai was thinking. What he wanted to ask was not Li Si, but his intention to go to Zhao State in the first place.

Guo Kaigan smiled. He really wanted to know this most, but he just couldn't say it.

"Brother Guo has been here in Longxi for a while. Do you think it will be difficult for us to unify the six countries?"

Tian Hao did not answer, but asked a question.

Guo Kai was silent for a moment and said with a wry smile: "No, it's not even remotely difficult. The difference between the two sides is too big, and this gap will continue to increase. The six countries have no chance of winning. The king and I have been sitting in the well watching the sky."

This is what I say from my heart. The more I understand the Qin State, the more I understand the horror inside. In comparison, the six countries have been far away.

Seeing that Guo Kai could understand this, Tian Hao just started to explain: "I have set two paths for the Six Kingdoms. One is to be led by orthodox kings, such as King Yan of Zhao and the Queen Mother of Wei, who will lead the Six Kingdoms to rest and recuperate as much as possible. , encourage people to have children and increase the population. After the world is unified in the future, there will be more people to develop the Western Region and the Southern Wilderness. I even have the idea of ​​​​developing the Northland.

This requires a large number of people to support it, the more the better.

It's just that we humans are different from animals. Those animals can grow up in a few years, or even one or two years, but it takes more than ten years for us humans to reach adulthood. The cycle is too long.

I don’t want to wait that long, so I think that the population of the six countries can increase, and then the progress will be somewhat improved, just like I used Confucianism to promote traditional Chinese characters and unify the languages ​​of various countries, which are all preparations in advance for unifying the world. . "

Having said this, he glanced at Guo Kai, who nodded in agreement and understanding, and Tian Hao continued to explain the second path.

"The second path is for people like Zhao Jie and Wei Wuji to take control of the Six Kingdoms. They will develop militaristically and squeeze the people as much as possible, causing public resentment. We don't even need to take the initiative to attack, and the people of the Six Kingdoms will have to rebel first.

Both of these roads are beneficial to Qin, but in comparison, I prefer the first one, which has greater benefits. "

This was his answer to Guo Kai. Although it was not a direct answer, he knew that Guo Kai was a smart man and held a high position in the Zeng Zhao Kingdom. His vision was not bad and he could figure it out.

Guo Kai did not disappoint Tian Hao. He quickly figured it out and couldn't help but smile bitterly again.

"Brother Haoran's level vision is too high, we are not even qualified to be your opponents."

He did have some guesses before, but now those guesses have become jokes.

They are not qualified to be their opponents, how can they bother to calculate?
No wonder Brother Haoran spent most of his time practicing in seclusion in Handan and didn't care about foreign affairs. He really didn't care.

Even if it weren't for the change of throne at that time and the reason of Han Fei, the ninth prince of Korea, they would not come here.

"Li Si doesn't know my true identity, but he is also leaning towards the Qin State. When he was in the Zhao State, he simply wanted to practice his skills, adapt to the environment of the court in advance, and apply what he learned."

Tian Hao talked about Li Si's matter. They did not intend to take the initiative to plot against the Zhao State at the beginning. The strong Zhao Shi Ce strategy was also really good for Zhao Wangyan and Guo Kai. Anyway, the two people's efforts will be the result of their Qin State in the end.

It's a pity that they miscalculated the madness of Zhao Jie and others, and at the same time, Guo Kai and Zhao Wangyan were also careless, which eventually led to that result.

"In this way, Guo will be able to serve as an official in the same court as the Li Si brothers again in the future."

With a happy expression on his face, Guo Kai knew Li Si's talent well and missed the days of cooperation. It would definitely be a great pleasure if he could serve as officials in the same court again.

"Not only are we officials in the same dynasty, you and he are also part of a large system. In my vision, Han Fei will lead the legislation, modify and improve Qin's legal system, and Li Si will be responsible for the implementation. You are also in this group, but You lead the supervision of court officials, while Li Si prefers the civil affairs."

He mentioned the arrangements for several people so that Guo Kai could make some preparations.

While Tian Hao was communicating with Guo Kai, Lian Po on the other side was brought to the combat command room by Sima Jin, which was expanded again and again, mainly to store maps.

When he entered, Lian Po was attracted by the topographic maps divided into modules. He knew the sandbox map, but compared to the one in front of him, the sandbox map in front of him was like a child playing with mud.

The sand tables here are all one foot square in size, with slide rails underneath, which can be assembled, assembled and divided by themselves. They slope down from west to east, corresponding to the terrain of the Central Plains.

Lian Po mainly looked at the terrain of the Zhao Kingdom, especially the mountainous mountains. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. He even saw the defense map belonging to their Zhao Kingdom, with the number of troops even marked.

"It's not wrong to lose!"

After watching for an unknown amount of time, Lian Po sighed with emotion.

With this weapon in hand, it's no wonder that Qin has been able to win great victories one after another in recent years.

"Times have changed a long time ago, and the rules of war have also changed. If we don't make changes, we will definitely be eliminated."

Sima Jin said with a smile.

"We seem to have met before."

Nodding in agreement, Lian Po turned to look at the bald old man who had been standing beside him. He had seen this man when he came in before, and felt a strange sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

Bai Qi was speechless and let Lian Po guess.

He did not deliberately hide his identity. If he can guess what others are capable of, if he can't guess, then he is incompetent. No wonder I, Gongsun Qi.

Seeing what the other party meant, Lian Po frowned and thought, but after a while he still couldn't remember it. It wasn't until he glanced at Sima Jin next to him that an idea flashed in his mind, and his eyes widened.

"You're not dead?"

Only then did he realize that that familiar feeling came from Bai Qi back then.

When the army was captured at the end of the Changping War, Zhao Wangdan sent him to sue for peace. He had met and communicated with Bai Qi at close range and was deeply impressed by him.

He just didn't expect that Qin Wuanjun, who was so heroic back then, would look like this now. He almost didn't recognize him.

"You are not dead, how could I die?"

There was a smile on his face. Bai Qi recognized Lian Po and even felt some sympathy for him.

And their fates are somewhat similar. The Battle of Changping was a turning point for the two of them. During the Battle of Changping, Lian Po was jealous of Zhao Wangdan and changed his generals before the battle. After that, he was kept in cold storage and not reused until he was preparing for the alliance. Zhan Fang was just invited to take charge.

It was even worse on his own side. After the Changping War, his prestige in Qin soared, which aroused Ying Ji's suspicion. In addition, he had to pave the way for the new king, so he became a victim and almost died that time.

"You interfered last time!"

Lian Po understood that Bai Qi must have been secretly cooperating in the last Hezong War. He had wondered before and didn't understand why the Qin State was able to suppress the problems in the military system in the first place. He just thought it was because of too much external pressure. , so they had to temporarily join forces.

Now it seems that the key point lies in Bai Qi.

"With you here, Lu Buwei and Luo Wang will definitely lose."

Thinking of the struggle on Qin's side, Lian Po guessed that Bai Qi was the biggest trump card in Qin Wangzheng's hand.

"The last battle of Hezong and the following battle of Xianyang, I was just an auxiliary, and the leader was that kid."

Bai Qi shook his head slightly, he no longer planned to take charge of these matters.

After all, he was getting old and had to make way for young people, especially the kid's ideas that made him admire him for applying both the right and strange aspects of the art of war to a whole new level.

"Huang Tianhou is indeed a genius, but he does not seem to have demonstrated the ability to command large-scale operations."

Lian Po agrees with and is convinced of Huang Tianhou, but according to the information he has received, Huang Tianhou has never commanded a large army in combat since his debut. This is a standard feature of their famous generals, and can even be said to be exclusive. .

Not everyone can be the commander-in-chief of a large army. Even Xiang Yan from the Yan Kingdom is far behind. Today, he and Bai Qi are the only ones who have reached a great level in this regard. Li Mu is also far behind. Point, you still need to keep working hard.

"Teacher is really not good at commanding large armies in battle."

At this time, an extremely burly figure walked over, it was Ying Zheng.

"King Qin?"

Looking up at the tall figure approaching, Lian Po was a little confused.

He is naturally concerned about this Qin Wangzheng, especially since the other party led an army of [-] to conquer Handan last time. Although the other party used the black dragon to break the city that time, it was still broken.

But according to the results he paid attention to last time, this person's figure was not too exaggerated, but now it is over one foot.

And with such a wide body, it feels like the great general Dianqing of the Wei Kingdom looks a little smaller in front of this one.

"General Lian Po, we meet again!"

Ying Zheng smiled. Since he switched to the Qi and Blood Martial Arts created by his teacher, his body size has further increased and he has reached the current state, and he is very satisfied with it. "again?"

Lian Po was confused. He had never seen this King of Qin. Even when the other party made a surprise attack on Handan, he did not go there. The two sides did not meet face to face.

"The old general was implicated after the Battle of Changping. He has been in Handan. I met the general once when I was a child."

I briefly mentioned that Ying Zheng had met Lian Po in Handan City when he was still a proton, and he was very lonely at that time.Although it turns out that the original suspicion and the sudden change of generals were Zhao Wangdan's fault, as the monarch of a country, the king cannot make mistakes, so the faults can only be Lian Po and Zhao Kuo.

Lian Po has not been reused since then, otherwise reusing him would be tantamount to Zhao Wangdan admitting that he was the main person responsible for the failure of the Battle of Changping.

"The child in Handan has grown up so much."

Lian Po recalled that he had indeed seen protons from several countries in Handan City, including Qin Wangzheng.

Looking at Ying Zheng's burly and inhuman figure in front of him, he was filled with emotion.

How long is this?

He had met Ying Zichu a few times, but he didn't seem to be worth much. How come the son he gave birth to was so burly?

"I am honest and honest, and I am here to see you, Your Majesty!"

After sighing with emotion, Lian Po bowed and saluted. Now he is a minister of Qin, and this is his future king.

"Old general please get up!"

Ying Zheng raised Lian Po up, but he himself had no ill feelings towards Lian Po. Although the other party led large armies to fight against their Qin army many times, they were just their own masters.

"The old general is interested in my teacher Huang Tianhou?"

Then he asked with a smile. As soon as he came over, he heard the teacher talking about him, so he replied.

"I think there is no one in the world who is not curious about him, or curious about the person hiding the sun behind him."

Lian Po was really curious about that person. He had been curious since he rescued Qin Wangzheng from Handan. After that, he became more and more curious after listening to each thing he did.

"The person who concealed the sun was dead long ago and died in the Kingdom of Zhao."

Ying Zheng talked about the original Hidden Sun, and since he really conquered this famous general, there was no need to hide some things. Many people on their side had guessed the identity of the Six-fingered Black Man.

But they are confidants who can be trusted absolutely, so there is no need to worry about leaking secrets.

The same goes for the old general, and since the other party will stay with Wu Anjun and the others in the future, there will be no chance of leaking the secret, so there will be no problem in telling the source.

And there are some things that cannot be concealed, especially the insider information of the person hiding the sun. It is okay to use a disguise to the outside world, but it is not necessary to do it internally, otherwise it will easily affect the judgment and decision-making of some things.

"Did you die early? Did you die in Zhao country? Was it the time I saved you? What happened after that..."

Lian Po was stunned. Many of his previous guesses had collapsed, and there was even an extremely crazy guess.

As if he had seen Lian Po's thoughts, Ying Zheng smiled and nodded, and said with emotion: "The old general guessed right, everything was handled by the teacher. From the beginning, he went to Handan alone to dig a tunnel to bring the widow and the queen together. He was rescued and secretly wooed the Mohists to lay the foundation for our Longxi.

After that, he took the widow and the queen to Xianyang to plan, cooperated with Luo Wang and Lu Buwei, and then went to Baiyue with Xuanjian to plan the Battle of Baiyue, and even brought the entire Baiyue as the first team of the widow..."

Tell everything about the teacher, including the Taoist, Confucian, and farm plans. In the future, Lian Po will be the decision-maker on their side. Only by knowing these can they make better plans. Don't let one of your own secretly plan one day. That would be funny.

"What a genius!"

After being silent for a long time, Lian Po sighed and admired the young man for being able to do everything that no one could do, which can be called a miracle.

When these miracles are added together, they become even more legendary. I really don’t know how that person’s brain grew.

"Isn't it you who taught him the Zodiac's art of war?"

Suddenly, Lian Po seemed to have thought of something, and turned to look at Sima Jin.

According to the king, the Zodiac War Art was created by Huang Tianhou after he met Sima Jin and learned from him. It has caused endless disasters. Just look at how miserable the Wei Kingdom has been in recent years.

Thinking like this, his expression became more strange and contemptuous. I didn't expect this old boy to be that kind of person.

These words made Sima Jin feel as if his hair was fried, and he vetoed decisively: "Bah, don't talk nonsense, the Zodiac Art of War has nothing to do with me. I was just giving him instructions on the actual operation of the art of war.

His military strategy has traces of the Guigu sect and should have been taught by Guiguzi. "

In the end, the blame was even placed on Guiguzi.

After the Baiyue War, he also figured out that the mysterious man was most likely Gui Guzi. He had covered his face in the past because he obviously didn't want people to recognize him, so he was connected with the Zodiac Art of War, which made him the most suspicious.

"It's a bit like the Guigu style."

After frowning and thinking about it, Lian Po also thought it was possible. After all, the descendants of the Guigu Sect were eloquent, and Su Qin and Zhang Yi were at their peak.

Ying Zheng, who knew a little bit about this, remained silent. It was not easy for him to talk about it, so he would just let everyone misunderstand it.

"Didn't you teach him how to command a large army in battle?"

Turning the topic to business, Lian Po was very envious and regretful of this kind of talent. He was much better than Zhao Kuo back then. If he really cultivated him, he would definitely surpass their achievements.

"Of course we have taught him, but that kid is not very interested in this aspect, or he has better ideas and looks down on our way of commanding."

Spreading his hands, Sima Jin had thought about this before and told that boy, but it was a pity that he looked down upon him.

It's not his fault. Although he is not as good as Jun Shang in terms of commanding the army, he is still in the next echelon and is on par with Xiang Yan.

It's okay to teach that kid how to get started, not to mention that you have your Majesty watching over you, so you can definitely teach him.

It's a pity that others don't like him, and neither he nor Junshang can refute that idea. He is indeed much better, and it can even be said that he is not on the same level at all.

"what idea?"

Lian Po asked, very interested.

"He has two ideas in terms of military force. One is the training of the legion itself, and the other is the military formation. It is not the previous military formation, but the kind similar to the farm formation.

I can’t tell you the specifics, so I’ll let him tell you. "

Sima Jin said simply, and then looked at the approaching figure.

"teacher!"

Ying Zheng saluted Tian Hao. He had always respected the teacher who had shaped him like a father.

Bai Qi, Sima Jin, and Lian Po also nodded to Tian Hao, who was approaching.

Tian Hao nodded in response to several people, and then handed half of the tiger talisman in his hand to Lian Po.

"This is the Tiger Talisman that Zhao Wangyan gave to Guo Kai to bring out. It has no meaning now. He thought it would be better to give it to you."

He had just chatted with Guo Kai for a while. After Guo Kai knew that Lian Po had also been fooled, he took out the tiger charm.

Originally, Zhao Wangyan gave this tiger talisman just in case, but with Tian Haoran here, he could run away directly from the air and be invisible, so naturally he couldn't use it.

"Guo Kai has indeed come to Qin."

Taking the tiger talisman, Lian Po took out the other half of the tiger talisman with a complicated expression, clasped the two together, and activated the mechanism inside to connect them into a whole.

Zhao Wangjia made many changes after taking office, and the tiger talisman system was one of them. At that time, it was speculated that Zhao Wangjia must not have obtained the tiger talisman from the late king.

Thinking of Gongzi Jia being abducted by a mysterious man, I guessed that the Tiger Talisman was in the hands of Gongzi Qian, and Guo Kai was a confidant of the late king. He would most likely escort Gongzi Qian out of the Kingdom of Zhao. The only one in the world who could go there was the King of Qin.

And he has been wearing this half-discarded tiger talisman on his body. He didn't expect that it would be complete again today, which can be regarded as a thought.

"Guo Aiqing is very capable and is currently leading the establishment of an anti-corruption system."

Ying Zheng said, he recognized Guo Kai's ability, but also lacked this kind of special talent.

"Anti-corruption? Guo Kai?"

Lian Po was confused. He felt that it was so fantasy here. Are you serious about asking a corrupt official like Guo Kai to fight corruption?
