Spring and Autumn I Am King

In early December, the Qin State was in Weinan.

Young Master Thorn was awakened by a shake from his sleep, but he didn't open his eyes, he just responded lazily, turned over and wanted to continue sleeping.

It was already thousands of miles of ice and snow, but the Weinan Palace was still as warm as ever. He thought that today, as usual, he could wait until the sky was bright, and his mother would pity him and let him continue to hide in the quilt. It takes a grimace to make the mother smile again.

But today is different.

"Thorn, thorn, hurry up, it's time to hit the road..." The mother's slightly urgent voice came from his ear again, and the son thorn raised his eyelids. In the dim light, he saw his mother wet with tears. On her face, she touched her hands that were cold because of fear.

"Mother..." The gentle little hand touched his mother's face, and Young Master Thorn was a little overwhelmed. He thought he had made his mother sad.

It has been half a year since the Zhao Qin peace treaty was signed. One of them was to send a proton to Zhao. From the beginning of winter, the wife brought Qin Bo’s only son, the son, to live in Weinan, waiting for the best time.

Young Master Thorn thought that he had made his mother angry, so he didn't dare to act like a spoiled child, nodded, and obediently let the Fu Mus wait and dress. The mother personally tied a long hairpin for him, put on a gold bracelet, and tied a small jade ring on the skirt, then wiped away his tears, held his hand, and walked out of the room together.

The night was still filled with darkness outside, and it was so cold that people didn't want to step down. There were many people standing in the courtyard, and they had been waiting for a long time.

"Madam, Young Master..." When the leader greeted him, Young Master Shi recognized him. He seemed to be the trembling white-bearded old man in his father's courtroom. Young Master Tong liked to call him "Pulstine", and his mother patted him. For a moment, let him be called "the great concubine".

"The eldest son." The son-in-law listened to his mother's words very much. He obediently saluted, and the eldest son of the son-in-law, Pu, suddenly showed a kind and tired smile: "It's hard work, son, let's go on our way."

An Anche, driven by four horses, was already waiting for them. Because the Qin State delivered a large number of horses as war compensation, for a time, even the young master could not get four horses of the same color when traveling.

To this, the great concubine explained: "The foals at the foot of Qishan and Longshan need time to grow up, and the son's entry into Zhao can buy us time."

"Who can give him time, Thorn is only seven years old..." Mrs. Qin Bo cried again, pear blossoms brought rain, Young Master Thorn stretched out his hand to wipe his mother's tears, but she was hugged back in her arms. When he started crying, the great concubine had to sigh and stop talking.

The end point of the carriage is the small pier on the Weishui River. In the pier is moored a large boat with a simple style. The captain is ten feet long and about five feet wide. There are two floors above the deck. This ship was originally the largest warship of the Qin State in the Weishui River. After the war, it was also given to the Zhao family as compensation. Now it is the flagship of the Zhao family's Weishui boat division.

Seeing a group of people coming over, the Zhao officials who were standing under the boat hurriedly came over to greet each other. The middle-aged doctor at the head was Kan Zhi, the governor of Feng Yi County, and his entourage was Zhao Wuxi's new favorite Liu De.

Young Master Thorn was a little afraid of life. He hid behind his mother and watched the sultan talk to them. He could see that the sultan's smile was a little stiff. When the conversation was over, the sultan turned around and beckoned to him.

"Sir, please come here."

The young master raised his head and glanced at his mother inquiringly. His mother's tears came out again, but he nodded at him, and let him go over to meet the two doctors of the Zhao family. They respected him. Jing, enlightened all the way, and took him to the bottom of the ship's stairs.

"Invite Young Master Qin to board the ship."

At this time, Young Master Thorn felt that something was wrong, he desperately turned his head, looked in the direction of his mother, stretched his arms, and called out to his mother.

Uncle Qin couldn't bear it any longer, she rushed over and hugged Young Master Thorn, tears dripping on his tender little shoulders.

"Madam..." Lie Du is deeply in love, which is human nature. After a long time, when the mother and son stopped crying, the chief concubine and others came over to persuade.

Before he could speak, Mrs. Qin Uncle had already gritted her teeth and ruthlessly handed the son's stab into Fu Mu's hands.

"Thorn, if I leave my mother, I also need Fu Mu's words."

Although Young Master Thorn kept crying and fighting, but to no avail, he was finally taken to the boat. The Zhao family had already shared the Weishui with Qin, and when he stepped on this boat, he could be considered to have left Qin's land.

Being hugged and standing by the side of the boat, as the speed of the boat became faster and faster, the consular commander and mother were getting farther and farther away. Suddenly, Mrs. Uncle Qin picked up her skirt and ran, chasing after them to the area where they were. On the way, she almost fell into the snow several times. Hand stove stuffed for people on board.

"It's a long way to Yecheng, don't let him get cold!" She almost shouted in a hoarse voice.

But Young Master Ci remembered what his mother had been whispering to him these days: "Thorn, you will no longer be Qin Shi, but Zhao Shi, but even if you go to Yecheng, don't forget your mother. Don't forget that Qin is your home country!"

Young Master Ci has long since cried and dried up his tears. He could only hold the stove that still had the warmth of his mother, and was taken by the big boat to the east in a daze. He was heartbroken at his age. And his memory of this journey also began on the banks of the Wei River, the scene of his mother standing in the snow, tears filled with tears and tenderness...

...

"We can still sail on the line from Weishui to Fenglingdu, but it will take more than half a month to get off the boat. Zhao Jun will **** him on the way, and he is also equipped with a magpie doctor who is proficient in pediatrics. There is no problem with your son's safety. A few days ago, they should be able to reach Yecheng smoothly."

Mrs. Qin Bo ignored Zipu's relief, and walked away with a cold snort. This proud Qin woman had just given away her seven-year-old flesh and blood, and made a huge sacrifice for Qin, but she was also full of love for Zipu. Angry, when I go back, I have to scold him in front of Uncle Qin.

"Alas, it's old and incompetent, so that the future monarch of Qin State should go to the Zhao family in exchange for peace."

After sending off the son of Thorn, Pu, the eldest son of the great concubine of the Qin state, looked at the other side again, and he did not know how many times he had looked over the past few months. That piece of fertile land between Jing and Wei has been a part of Yongzhou since ancient times, but now it was cut off by the Zhao clan and turned into their county. I have no bottom in my heart.

In ten years, he doesn't know if he has another ten years of life. Even if he can't do it now, he must be prepared, and he can't sit still!

According to the peace treaty, Qin's garrison in the Weinan area should not exceed ten thousand people, so the defense is extremely loose, but when Zipu's car left the city and the main road and entered Lantian, it was a different world.

In ancient times, the first-class jade was called "ball", and the second jade was "blue". Because of the abundance of second jade, it was named Lantian. Lantian is located at the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains, with complex terrain and dense mountains and forests. After Shangluo was controlled by the Han clan, it became the southeastern gate of the Qin state. Ba Shui flows from here, and now it is almost frozen. In the woods by the water, there is a hidden camp...

The arrival of Zipu broke the silence here. The heavily guarded soldiers of the Qin State saluted him. When Zipu went deep inside, he saw a large group of soldiers insisting on training.

The soldiers wore thick leather armor and ran in circles in the snow, each carrying dozens of pounds, while a one-eyed general was berating them and urging them to speed up their pace.

Hearing the rustling footsteps behind him, the general turned his head, it was actually Lu Xing, a member of the Wei clan who had disappeared in the war! After attacking Weiyi, the Zhao family couldn't find him. It turned out that he ran to hide in the countryside, and finally came to the Qin state. His right eye was already crippled and covered with a black cloth. Although it was a dead eye, it flashed inside. The light called hatred.

Seeing that Zipu was coming, Lu Xing did not let the soldiers stop, and he himself only bowed slightly to the person who came: "The great concubine."

Zipu nodded, looked at the scene again, and asked, "Is this how Zhao Wusuo trains?"

"Of course, I had to train crossbow skills, but Xue Tian can easily hurt crossbows."

It turned out that since the defeat in June, this great concubine of the Qin state has been through a lot of pain, and the first decision he made was to follow the example of the Zhao family to carry out reforms from top to bottom in the Qin state, such as gathering small towns into counties, and the whole country would win together Twenty-one counties, Lantian is one of them.

In addition, it is necessary to implement the legal system, open up borders, divide large clans into small households, and those who continue to live in the same room with father and son in the folk ~www.readwn.com~ will be severely punished! Begin to revise the "Law of Qin", follow the example of Zhao's establishment of the legal system, and implement military merits in the army. Anything that makes Zhao's strong, the Qin state must humbly learn, but all those that drag Qin's defeat in the war need to be eliminated.

Military reform is also imperative. Zipu's idea is to start to completely change the chariots into cavalry, and at the same time, the infantry cannot be pulled down. The reason why he took in Lu Xing was because the Wei family had followed the example of the Zhao family to build an army, and in Hexi The Qin people suffered a lot in the war. If the Qin people could also master that kind of warfare, they might not have been beaten so miserably by the Zhao family...

"The Wei family is dead. Both Qin and you take the Zhao family as their enemy. Help me to train a team of elite soldiers with the Zhao family's method! The Wei family has a chance for revenge!"

Zipu knew that some of his rapid reforms had offended a large number of Qin nobles, and even Uncle Qin was extremely dissatisfied with him, but he didn't care.

He can completely step down in the shame of defeat and spend the rest of his life in shame.

But he chose a completely different path, that is, to burn the rest of his life and give Qin the chance to be reborn!

Proud Qin people will never willingly give Zhao a slave as a maid! (To be continued.)
