warring states careerist

Chapter 445 Heroes
Zhao Hou looked at his son, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "Live a few more days."

This was the last thing he could do to help his son, and the rest could only be done with a coup d'état.

Under the enfeoffment system, the courtiers of nobles were not mere courtiers, but partners who were qualified to bargain with the princes.

It is not the turn of the monarch who has not yet completed the reform at the beginning of the Warring States period to say such words.

The young master thought about it for a while, and thanked him again, knowing that this was the last thing his father could do for him.

One month after this conversation, the matter between Que and Jun finally caused a sensation in Zhongmou. The Xuanyi Department of the Mohist School defined this matter as an act of harming the world, which has already caused a huge sensation among the people of Zhongmou.

If the law is strict, this is no more than a trivial matter.

However, this incident is only a spark after all, and behind it is the struggle between Gongzi Chao, Gongzi Zhang, Jiugui, Tourist, Conservative, and Reform.

Zhao Hou is still alive, and continues to delay this matter, anyway, he is not going to live long, procrastinating until he dies, this is the most beneficial thing for his son.

As for the name after death, if the son wins, his reputation will not be bad.If his son fails, his reputation will be obliterated by future generations, and his name may not even be left behind.

The Prince Zhao's rebellion triggered in advance is like a stinky meat bait placed in the lake, attracting people from all over the world to rush for it.Wei people, Qi people, Qin people, Han people, and Mohist people were all active around this matter. In Zhongmu and Handan, there were vigilant people looking for news everywhere.

Under the chaotic situation, Solucan and others have completed their tasks and told many stories about traveling westward in the market.

The rest of the matter has nothing to do with Suo Lucan. He needs to return to Sishang before the situation in Zhao State is completely chaotic.

The mighty team of hundreds of people crossed the Yellow River when Zhao Guojun and his ministers were arguing endlessly about whether Que and the king should be punished, whether they should accept some of Shiqing's land rights, and whether they should strictly enforce the laws of the country. Qi State advances.

There were more people in the team than when they arrived in Handan, and those extra people were the envoys of the Qin people, as well as a few people who were secretly hiding in the envoy group.

In a carriage, a sturdy old man in his 60s and [-]s was reading a book in the bumpy carriage. He stopped from time to time to look at the scenery outside, but he rarely sighed.

The old man has gray hair, but his spirit is extremely hale and hearty, and his body is majestic. Obviously, he was also a good fencing wrestler when he was young.

Sitting there, there is no crown on the head and little jade around the waist, but it has a certain bearing.

The few people in the same car all held sharp swords and had little contact with the outside world. Even if they ate and used, they were all sent from the outside.

The name of this person is not even clear to Mo Zhe who leads the team, but he knows that this person is extremely important, because the Qin Ren Zhengshi who leads the team often goes in and out of that carriage.

The tall man who once sat with Solu and discussed who is the one who increases the total wealth of the world is in the car, sitting on the right side of the 60-year-old man to show respect.

"Ma Ling is ahead."

The tall man said something, the old man nodded and said: "Passing Ma Ling, the place where you and Sheng Chuo became famous is in front of you. In the battle of Linqiu, the three Jins were named Marquis, don't you want to pay tribute when you pass there? "

The old man said something jokingly, and the tall man smiled and said: "Now that we have reached the state of Qi, and then we are in the state of Wei again when we arrive at Linqiu. The public is famous in Wei, and now he is about to leave the state of Wei. There will always be some emotion." ?”

The old man laughed, there was no hint of disappointment in his laughter, even though he was the No.

This old man is Wu Qi who defeated Xiang Ziniu in the state of Lu, guarded Xihe for 20 years, and the Qin people could not go eastward.

Hearing the tall man talk about emotion, Wu Qi just laughed, and laughed for a long time before saying: "It is impossible to say that there is no emotion. But what I am feeling now is exactly what the Mohist said about home and country , and what Tian Zifang said when Wei Hou was still the son."

"The poor and lowly are arrogant, but the rich and noble dare to be arrogant! The king who is arrogant will lose his country, and the doctor who is arrogant will lose his family. Those who lose their country have never heard of those who treat them like a country, and they lose their family. I have never heard of someone who treats them like a family. If the husband and wife are poor and lowly, if they don’t use their words or do not agree with them, they will accept their shoes and leave their ears, and they will not be poor and lowly in peace!”

"The king has a country, and the doctor has a family. We, scholars, have only one ability."

"If you don't use your words, don't agree with your deeds, and leave with a laugh, where can you go in the world? Where can you not get things done? If you want fame, how can you only be in Wei?"

"The Mohist said that the country is a country of nobles and monarchs. This statement is true. Marquis Wen has shown me kindness, and Marquis Wen can employ people, and dare to employ them. If Marquis Wen is here, I can seek fame and history in Wei. Why bother to leave?”

Marquis Wen is dead, and Wu Qi's words will not cause the slightest displeasure to the Qin people who picked him up to leave.Because this tall man also knew that if Marquis Wen was still there, how could Young Master Lian have the chance to leave Wei State and return to Qin State?
These people from Qin are operating in Wei. Although Marquis Wei is wary of Wu Qi's ability, Wu Qi has made great contributions to Wei after all. The young master is so proud that he wants to do something bigger than his father. , Goujian who cooks a rabbit to death.

So while the Wei people were not paying attention, these Qin people first got some vehicles and rushed towards Xihe, making the Wei people mistakenly think that Wu Qi was going to enter Qin through the Xihe, which attracted the attention of the Wei people.

But the real Wu Qi was hidden in the Mo family's team returning from Handan to Sishang.The identity of this team is the most special. It is the team that Solu participated in returning from the Far West. It is not easy for countries to pursue it, let alone suspect it, so this journey is extremely safe.

Now that he has arrived in Ma Ling, Wu Qi still has some emotions in his heart.

Looking at the tall man, he sighed and said: "The world is in chaos, if you want to be stable, the only way is war. If Marquis Wen is not dead, it is easiest for me to succeed in Wei."

"Xihe's military pawns are my half-life effort. I have 20 military pawns, and Qin's [-] soldiers dare not compete with me."

The tall man didn't refute at all, nodded and said: "When it comes to field battles, I'm afraid that only Sishang volunteers can compete with the soldiers trained by the public. However, Wei people are human beings, and Qin people are also human beings. The method of training soldiers is different. It needs a combination of governance and politics. If you want to return to Qin, within a few years, Qin will also have great soldiers."

"Who in the world will not accept your master's ability? The hero in the field is the one who captured the king of Yue in Lushui and wiped out the gentleman's army. I appreciate it."

When Wu Qi heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched inadvertently, as if he felt that this man was insulting himself by comparing himself to a field battle.

In any case, the battle of Lushui shocked the world. Yue, who was once able to compete with Jin, was beaten back to his original form by this battle, and he was completely removed from the powers, and Shi's reputation became louder.

However, there have been more and more news about the Battle of Lushui in the past few years, and the information dissemination brought about by the change of paper and writing has become more convenient. Wu Qi has carefully studied the Battle of Lushui, and he can't help but underestimate his ability to fight in the field. .

In his opinion, Na Sishang's righteous teacher is already the most powerful army in the world, and his soldiers are also incomparable.However, it was inseparable from the stupidity of the king of Yue that he fought like that in the first battle of Lushui. It is only qualified to hold the number one army in the world and fight like that.

However, he didn't bother to argue about this matter in front of outsiders. This time he passed Surabaya, and he was going to see how the Mohists were in power, and also to see how powerful the volunteers who he thought were piled up with money .

Before Sheng Chuo joined Qin several years ago, he had a long talk with him and told Wu Qi clearly that if Wei could not stay, only Qin and Chu could make Wu Qi realize his ambitions.

Wu Qi took it for granted, this time entering the Qin Dynasty could not but be said to be influenced by Sheng Chuo's secret talks back then.

What's more, it is impossible to enter Chu. In the past few years, the Mohist family has changed in Yanying and prepared a new army for the king of Chu.

Although Wu Qi is proud, he also understands the wisdom and strength of the Mohist people, and he will not be so arrogant that he thinks that he alone can compare with the Mohisth who already has tens of thousands of synonymous.

He is a person who can make a difference, the bigger the ambition, the bigger the dream, the bigger the stage he needs.The stage of Chu State is enough for him, but the Mohist School has already occupied a part, so there is no need for him to go again.

Entering the Qin Dynasty this time, there is also what the tall man said just now, "the method of training soldiers requires the integration of politics and politics."The people of Qin reformed, learned Sishang's method, and trained a standing army with the system of compulsory service. This has already formed the embryonic form of military soldiers, and the military merit system can best stimulate the bravery of soldiers, which is a suitable stage for him to perform.

Just as Tian Zifang said, as long as scholars have abilities, if they don't agree with their words and deeds, they can go to hell. The world is not only a country of Wei that has the opportunity to display it.

The pride of a scholar and the ambition of a hero made Wu Qi not feel too much sadness about leaving Wei, but only laughed at Wei Jian.

He didn't even bother to lament that he was "unrecognized for his talent", because he was really talented.

This troubled world is in need of talents, and I feel that most of the people who are underappreciated may not have any talents.

The carriage was rumbling, Wu Qi looked at everything other than the carriage and thought for a long time.

The world is like water, Mohism is like ink, there are already too many colors of Mohism in this world.

Double-shaft carriages, towering mills, chest-drawn horses, plows for farming, rows of crops, snow-white cotton, fragrant corn...

Looking out of the window for a long time, Wu Qi let out a long sigh, and said leisurely: "After the appearance of the Mo School, many words have changed their original meanings. The word "hero" is the most profound. In terms of the world, heroes are everywhere in the Mo School."

"The Mohists knead the clay of the world into pottery and burn it into porcelain. But you and I just change the color of the clay in the world."

"Whether it's Qin or Wei, fighting for the world... What's the difference?"

The tall man suddenly heard Wu Qi's emotion, he couldn't help being startled, half joking and half sincerely asked: "The public's view of heroes is quite influenced by the Mohists."

Wu Qi laughed loudly and said: "Isn't the word "Heroism" also a Mohist saying? It is known to the world, and the more heroic the person, the easier it is to be influenced."
