Chapter 25 "The Great Qin Empire" History Source (14)
The king of Qin envoy Wang Yan, the mausoleum general, besieged Handan in August and September, but could not be pulled out.Chu sent Chun Shenjun and Wei Gongzi to attack the Qin army with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the Qin army lost many lives.Lord Wu'an said: "Qin doesn't listen to his ministers' plans, what's going on now!" When the king of Qin heard this, he was angry and forced Wu'an Lord, who then declared himself ill.I can't afford it at the request of the Marquis.So Lord Wu'an was exempted from being a soldier, and moved to the secret.Mr. Wu An was ill and couldn't do it.In the third month, the princes were in a hurry to attack the Qin army, but the Qin army was defeated, and the envoys arrived every day.The king of Qin ordered Bai Qi to be sent away, and he was not allowed to stay in Xianyang.As soon as Lord Wu'an went, he left the west gate of Xianyang for ten miles to Duyou.King Qin Zhao discussed with Yinghou's ministers and said: "Bai Qi's move is still unsatisfactory and dissatisfied, and there is more to say." The king of Qin sent the envoy to give him the sword and cut himself off.Lord Wu'an draws his sword and cuts himself, saying: "Why did I blame the heavens and come here?" After a long time, he said: "I must die. In the battle of Changping, Zhao's soldiers surrendered 10 people. I cheated and killed them all." It is enough to die." Then he committed suicide.The death of Lord Wu An also occurred in November of the 50th year of King Qin Zhao.Death is not a crime, the people of Qin pity him, and all villages and towns offer sacrifices to him.

"Warring States Policy · Zhongshan Policy · King Zhao's Retirement of the People's Soldiers"

Zhao Wang stopped the people and repaired the army, and wanted to attack Zhao again.Lord Wu'an said: "Impossible." The king said: "In the former Republic of China, the people were hungry, and the emperor did not measure the power of the people, and asked for military supplies to destroy Zhao. Today, the widows support the people to support the soldiers and accumulate food. The salaries of the three armies are twice as much as before. , and said 'impossible', what did he say?"

Lord Wu An said: "In the event of Changping, the Qin army was defeated, and the Zhao army was defeated; the people of Qin rejoiced, but the people of Zhao feared. The dead of the people of Qin were buried generously, those who paid were generously raised, those who worked hard were fed, and food was fed to exhaust them. Wealth: The dead of the Zhao people cannot be harvested, and the wounded cannot be healed. Weeping and mourning each other, working hard to share the sorrow, plowing the fields and working hard to make money. Although the king's army is twice as large as it was before, the ministers expect Zhao Guo to defend, and they will also use it. Ten times over. Zhao has come since Changping, and the monarchs and ministers are afraid. Early in the court, Yan retreated, humbly resigned and paid a lot of money, married on all sides, married Qin Yan and Wei, and connected Qi and Chu. Its diplomacy is successful. At the present time, Zhao Wei can be defeated."

The king said: "The widow is here to revitalize the teacher." He sent Wang Ling, the doctor of the five schools, to attack Zhao.The battle of Ling was defeated, and the five schools died.The king wanted to send Lord Wu'an, but Lord Wu'an complained that he was ill.Wang Nai sent Yinghou to see Lord Wu'an, and said to him: "Chu is five thousand miles away, and there are millions of halberds. The king led tens of thousands of people into Chu, pulled out Yan and Ying, burned his temples, and reached Jingling in the east. , the Chu people were terrified and moved eastward but did not dare to go westward. Han and Wei Xiang led a large number of troops, and they could not be half defeated, but they fought against Yique, smashed the armies of the two countries, bleed and beheaded 24. Han and Wei are known as the Dongfan until today. This great achievement is known all over the world. Today, Zhao Zuzhi died in Changping on the [-]th or [-]th. His country is weak, so he sent a large army with a few people and doubled the number In Zhao State, if you wish to send the king and general, you will surely be wiped out. You have tried to defeat the many with the few, and you have won victory like a god. How about using the strong to defeat the weak, and the many to defeat the few?"

Lord Wu An said: "At that time, the king of Chu relied on the greatness of his country and did not care about his government. The officials were jealous of each other and used meritorious services to flatter them. Therefore, it was necessary to lead troops deep into the country, double the size of the city, send beams and burn boats to specialize the people, to plunder the countryside, and to feed the army. At this time, the soldiers of the Qin Dynasty took the army as their home, and the generals as their parents. Make an appointment with Qin, believe without seeking, and work together with one heart, and die without hesitation. The people of Chu fought their own lands, took care of their families, each had their own ideas, and they had no fighting spirit. Therefore, they can make merit. The battle of Yique, Han Looking at Wei alone, he didn't want to use his people first. Wei relied on Han Zhirui, and wanted to push him as the front. The two armies have different advantages in fighting for convenience, so the ministers had to set up suspicious troops to wait for the Han formation. After the defeat, the Han army collapsed and took advantage of the victory to chase the north. It was because of this that they were able to make meritorious service. It is all based on the situation, and the natural reason, what a god! Now Qin defeated the Zhao army in Changping, and it was not possible to take advantage of the time to take advantage of its fear To destroy them, and to release them from fear, so that crops can be accumulated for benefit, orphans and young are raised for the benefit of the masses, soldiers and armours are repaired for the benefit of strength, cities and ponds are increased for the benefit of solidity. The ministers pushed the dead men below the body. As for Lord Pingyuan's subordinates, they all ordered their wives and concubines to mend the seams between the ranks. The ministers were united as one, working together from top to bottom, just like when Goujian was trapped in Kuaiji. To attack them together, Zhao must stick to it. Its army will never go out in battle. Surrounding its capital, it will not be conquered. Attacking its cities, it will not be able to pull it out. Raiding its countryside will not gain anything. The army will not succeed, the princes will be eager, and foreign rescue will come. Your minister sees Its harm is to see its benefits. I am sick and can't do it."

Ying Hou was ashamed and retreated to speak to the king.The king said: "It's a little white, can't I destroy the photo?" Fu Yi sent an army, and even made Wang Yan replace Wang Ling to attack Zhao.During the eighth and ninth months of the siege of Handan, there were many dead and wounded, and they came down.The king of Zhao came out Qingrui to attack the latter, and the number of Qin was not good.Lord Wu'an said: "If you don't listen to your minister's plan, what is the result?" Wang Wen was angry, and when he saw Lord Wu'an, he forced him up, saying: "Although the king is sick and strong, I will lie down for the widow. If you have meritorious service, the wish of the widow will be aggravated. King. If you can’t do it, the widow hates you.” Wu’an Jun nodded and said: “I know that although I have done nothing, I can be exempted from crime. Although I can’t do it without guilt, I can’t be exempted from punishment. However, I only hope that the king will release Zhao Yangmin’s foolish plan and use it as a feudal lord. Soothing its fear, cutting down its arrogance, and destroying innocence, so that the princes can rule the world. Why should Zhao be the first? This is what is called a single minister who conquers the world. If the king does not observe the foolish tricks of his ministers, he must If you are happy with Zhao, you will commit crimes against your ministers. This is also the so-called one who wins over one minister and is subdued by the world. How can a husband win over one minister? How can he win the majesty of the world? Ministers have heard that the Lord loves his country, and loyal ministers love his name The broken country cannot be restored, and the dead cannot be brought back to life. The minister would rather die under severe punishment than be humiliated as a general in the army. May the king check it out." The king left without answering.

Cai Ze enters Qin Dynasty
"Historical Records Biography of Fan Ju and Cai Ze"

Cai Ze is also from Yan.There are many princes, small and big, who are studying abroad, and they don't meet.And from the Tang Dynasty, he said: "I heard that Mr. Li Dui said that he would 'hold the country within a hundred days'. Is there any?" He smiled and said: "Mr. has a nose, a huge shoulder, a squishy face, a frown, and a knee spasm. I heard that the sages don't look like each other, is it dangerous for you?" Cai Ze knew that Tang Ju played it, but he said: "I own the riches and honors, and I have them. I don’t know the life expectancy, I heard it.” Tang Ju said: “Mr.’s life span is 43 years old from now on.” Cai Ze thanked him with a smile and left, saying that his steward said: “I hold beams with thorns and fattened teeth, and leap horses. Drive fast, bear the seal of gold, tie a purple ribbon on the key, and bow to the master, eat meat and be rich, 43 years are enough." Zhao, who has gone, sees him.In Han and Wei, when the cauldron was seized, it was overwhelmed.Wen Yinghou appointed Zheng Anping and Wang Ji both guilty of serious crimes in Qin Dynasty, Yinghou was ashamed, and Cai Zenai entered Qin in the west.

When he saw King Zhao, he made a declaration to respond to Hou with anger, saying: "Cai Ze, the guest of Yan, is a man of great wisdom and wisdom in the world. When he sees King Qin, King Qin will surely trap the king and take the throne." Ying Hou heard that and said: " The five emperors and three generations, the theory of a hundred schools of thought, I know it, and I will destroy it if everyone argues, is it possible that evil can trap me and take my place?" Someone called Cai Ze.When Cai Ze enters, he bows to him.Ying Hou was not happy, and when he saw it, he was embarrassed. Ying Hou said because of his resignation: "I would rather have it if you had declared that you want to replace me with Qin?" Said." Cai Ze said: "Hey, why did you see it so late! Husbands follow the order of the four seasons, and those who succeed will go. Madam has a strong body, convenient hands and feet, clever ears and eyes, and a holy heart. Isn't it the essence of a scholar?" Ying Hou said: "Yes." Cai Ze said: "Being benevolent and upholding righteousness, practicing morality and virtue, gaining ambitions in the world, the world loves and respects him, and they all think of themselves as kings. Isn't it time to argue for wisdom?" Ying Hou said Said: "Of course." Cai Zefu said: "Wealth and glory are manifested, and all things are rationalized, so that each has its own place; life is long, and it will last forever without being injured; the world will follow its tradition, keep its karma, and pass it on endlessly; The river flows for thousands of miles, and the world calls it inexhaustible, and it has the beginning and end of heaven and earth: is it the symbol of morality and what the sages call auspicious and good deeds?" Ying Hou said: "Yes."

Cai Ze said: "If you are the king of Shang in Qin, Wu Qi in Chu, and the great officials in Yue, can you still give up?" Ying Hou knew that Cai Zezhi wanted to trap himself, so he said, "Why not? Husband, Gongsun, and grandson. The affairs of martingale are filial piety, there is no other concern about the body, doing the public and not selfishness; setting up a knife and saw to prohibit evil, trusting in rewards and punishments to bring order; revealing one's heart, showing affection, receiving resentment, bullying old friends, seizing the prince of Wei, and enforcing Qin Sheji, benefit the common people, die for the Qin Qin generals, destroy the enemy, and smash the land for thousands of miles. Wu Qi’s affairs mourn the king, so that private interests must not harm the public, slander must not deceive loyalty, words do not seek harmony, actions do not seek tolerance, and do not cause danger Go, do righteousness and do not avoid difficulties, but for the overlord and powerful country, you will not shy away from disasters. The doctor's work is more than the king. Although the master is embarrassed and humiliated, he is loyal and incomprehensible. , noble and rich but not arrogant. If these three sons are the most righteous and loyal. Therefore, a gentleman is hard to die with righteousness, and regards death as his home; it is better to be honored than to be humiliated in life. A scholar inherently kills himself to become famous, although he is righteous. Where there is nothing to hate even if you die. Why not?"

Cai Ze said: "The lord, the sage, and the ministers are virtuous, and the world is prosperous and blessed; the ruler is wise and his ministers are upright, and the country is blessed; the father is kind and the son is filial, and the husband is faithful and his wife is chaste, and the family is blessed. Wisdom cannot destroy Wu, and the state of Jin is chaotic due to filial piety. There are loyal ministers and filial sons, but the country is in chaos, why? The ignorant king and virtuous father listen to him, so the world regards his father as a murder and humiliation and pities his ministers. Today Shangjun, Wu Qi, and Dafu are people and ministers, yes; their lords are not. Therefore, the world says that the three sons have made great achievements but have not seen virtue. How can they envy them and not die in the world? Husbands can be loyal and famous after they die. Benevolence, Confucius is not worthy of sage, and Guan Zhong is not worthy of greatness. Madam’s meritorious service, isn’t it expected to complete evil? Those who have both body and name are the best. Next." So Ying Hou called him good.

Cai Ze seldom got a chance, because he said: "My husband Shangjun, Wu Qi, and Dafuzhong, if he is loyal and dedicated to his ministers, it can be forgiven. Hongyao is the king of Wen, and the Duke of Zhou assists the king. Isn't he also loyal and holy?" In terms of it, Shang Jun, Wu Qi, and Da Fu are more or less the same as Hong Yao and Zhou Gongzai?" Yinghou said: "Shang Jun, Wu Qi, and Da Fu are not like that." Cai Ze said: "The Lord of the King is kind and benevolent." Ren Zhong, dunhou, old man, his sages, wisdom and righteousness are like glue, and his righteousness is not equal to that of a hero. Who is he like Qin Xiaogong, Chu Mourning King, and Yue King?" Ying Hou said: "I don't know how." Cai Ze Said: "Now the master is loyal and loyal, but Qin Xiaogong, Chu Mourning King, Yue King, the king's wisdom, can repair the government for the master's safety and danger, control the chaos and strengthen the army, criticize the adversity, plant the valley in a wide area, enrich the country and the family, and strengthen the country. Lord, respect the country, show the ancestral temple, no one in the world dares to bully the Lord, the might of the Lord shakes the sea, the meritorious service is displayed thousands of miles away, and the reputation spreads to thousands of generations, who is the king and the king of Shang, Wu Qi, and the doctor?" Yinghou said. : "No." Cai Ze said: "Today's relatives and loyal ministers do not forget the past, so they are not as good as filial piety, mourning the king, and Goujian, and the king's achievements, love, trust and relatives are not as good as Shangjun, Wu Qi, and the doctor. However, The king's salary is noble and prosperous, and the private family is richer than the third son, but the person who does not retire, fears that the third son will suffer more than the third son, and stealing will endanger him. There is a saying that "the sun will shift, and the moon will lose." When things are prosperous, Decay is the constant of heaven and earth. Advancing and retreating, shrinking and changing with time, is the normal way of the sage. Therefore, "If the country has the way, you will be an official, but if the country has no way, you will hide." The sage said, "The flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adults." Wealth and honor are like floating clouds to me. Now your grievances have been suppressed and your virtues have been repaid, and your desires have come to an end, but there is no change of plan. If you steal your name, you will not take it. Besides, the emeralds, swans, rhinoceros, and elephants are in a position of power. It’s not that death is not far away, and that’s why the dead are deluded by bait. The wisdom of Su Qin and Zhibo is not enough to ward off humiliation and death is far away, and that’s why the dead are deluded by greed for profit. There is a limit to the people, so that they can be used in a timely manner, so that their ambitions are not overflowing, their actions are not arrogant, and they are always in harmony with the Tao without losing it. Therefore, the world will continue to be inherited. The Kuiqiu meeting had the ambition of being proud, and ruled the nine kingdoms. The king of Wu sent his troops to be invincible in the world. He was brave and strong to lighten the princes. The body died of a mediocre husband. This is the principle of taking advantage of the prosperity and not returning, and the trouble of not living in a humble and retreating place. Husband and Shangjun are Qin Xiaogong’s laws and regulations, prohibiting adultery, honors and honors must be rewarded, crimes must be punished, balance, balance, Correctly measure, adjust the weight, break up the rice paddies, make a custom of living the people's business quietly, persuade the people to farm and benefit the land, do nothing in one house, work hard to accumulate fields, practice wars and old things, and use the army to move the land. Guang, the soldiers rest and the country is rich, so Qin is invincible in the world, establishes the prestige of the princes, and becomes the Qin State. In the first battle with Chu, Yan and Ying were raised to burn Yiling, and then they fought in the south and merged with Shuhan. They also crossed Han and Wei and attacked and strengthened Zhao, and killed more than [-] people in Beikeng, all in Changping. After that, the blood flowed into rivers, and the sound of boiling was like thunder, so they entered the siege of Handan and made Qin an emperor. Chu and Zhao are the powerful countries in the world and Qin is also the enemy. After that, Chu and Zhao are all afraid to attack Qin. The momentum is also. The more than [-] cities that he has conquered have accomplished their merits, so he gave the sword and died in Du You. Wu Qi made a law for the king of Chu mourning, and humbled the ministers.Prestige, abandoning incompetence, abolishing uselessness, loss of officials who are not in a hurry, closing private doors, a custom of Chu State, people who prohibit tourists, soldiers who are intensively farming and fighting, harvest Yang Yue in the south, join Chen and Cai in the north, and break the law. Scattered obedience, so that the talkers have nothing to say, banned cronies to encourage the people, determined the government of Chu, shocked the world with troops, and subdued the princes.The work has been accomplished, and the dead branches are resolved.The doctor was kind to the king of Yue for a long-term plan, to avoid the danger of Kuaiji, to survive with death, to be honored by humiliation, to cultivate grass into the city, to open up land and plant valleys, to lead people from all directions, to specialize in the strength of the upper and lower, to assist the sages of Jujian, Report to the poor husband, and the soldiers capture Jin Wu.Make the more hegemony.The meritorious service has been manifested and believed, and Gou Jian was finally defeated and killed.These four sons, if they fail to achieve success, this is the end of the disaster.This is the so-called one who believes but cannot lie, and who goes but cannot return.Fan Li knew it, transcended the world, and grew up as Tao Zhugong.Do you not watch your husband alone?Either you want to make a big investment, or you want to share the merits, all of which are well known to you.Today, the ruler of the Qin Dynasty can't plan the banquet, can't plan the corridor temple, sit and control the princes, benefit the three rivers, use the real Yiyang, solve the danger of the sheep, block the way of the Taihang, and cut the Fan and Zhongxing's ruins, the six countries can not be united From then on, the plank road is thousands of miles away, leading to the Shu Han, making the world fear Qin, Qin's desire is achieved, and the monarch's merits are extremely powerful. This is also the time for Qin to divide the merits.If it is true and does not retreat, then Shang Jun, Bai Gong, Wu Qi, and the doctor are also the same.I heard it, 'in view of the face of water, and in view of people, one knows good and bad'.The book says, "Under success, you can't stay for a long time."The disaster of the four sons, where does the king live?Why don't you return to the seal at this time, let the sages teach it, and retreat to live in Sichuan, you must have the integrity of Boyi, and you will be a marquis.The world is called lonely, but Xu You, Yanling Jizi let go, Qiao Song's life, which one will end in disaster?That is, where does the king live?Forbearance cannot separate itself, doubt cannot self-determination, there must be disasters for the four sons.Yi said, "Kanglong has regrets." This is the one who goes up but can't go down, believes but can't lie, and goes but can't return.What is Yuan Jun's plan! Ying Hou said: "Good."I have heard that 'if you want but don't know it, you lose what you want; if you have something but don't know it, you lose what you want to have'.Mr. was lucky to teach, and Ju Jing was ordered. "So Naiyan came in and sat down as a guest.

A few days later, when he entered the court, he said to King Qin Zhao: "There is a new guest who came from Shandong called Cai Ze. He is a debater who understands the affairs of the three kings, the career of the five uncles, and the changes in the world. I see so many people that I can't match it, and I'm not as good as it. I dare to hear about it." King Zhao of Qin summoned him, talked with him, talked about it, and worshiped him as a guest.Please return to the Prime Minister for Ying Hou Yinxie's illness.Zhao Wang forced Yinghou to rise up, and Yinghou was called sick.Fan Ju was exempted from the prime minister, Zhao Wangxin said Cai Ze's plan, so he worshiped as Qin prime minister, and took over the Zhou family in the east.

Cai Ze had been prime minister to Qin for several months, and people might hate him, fearing execution, so he thanked his illness and returned to the prime minister, named Gang Chengjun.He lived in Qin Dynasty for more than ten years, serving King Zhao, King Xiaowen, and King Zhuangxiang.After the death of the first emperor, he served as Qin's envoy to Yan, and for three years Yan envoyed Prince Dan to Qin.

"Warring States Policy Qin Policy Cai Ze Sees Chasing Zhao"

Cai Ze saw that he was chased by Zhao, and then entered Han and Wei, and he was caught in Tu.Wen Yinghou was appointed Zheng Anping and Wang Ji, both of whom were guilty of serious crimes. Yinghou felt ashamed and entered Qin from the west.When he was about to meet King Zhao, he made a declaration to respond to Hou with anger, saying: "Cai Ze, the guest of Yan, is a man of great eloquence in the world. When he sees King Qin, King Qin will meet him and seize the throne."
