After the war between Qin and Wei ended, South Korea no longer had any need for rescue, so it simply withdrew its troops and returned home.
The Zhao army that attacked also withdrew and returned home. In addition, the war between Yan and Zhao also entered a fierce stage.
Ju Xin, the commander of the 100,000 Yan Army, and Pang Nuan, the commander of the Zhao Army, are old acquaintances. However, Ju Xin, a veteran, still regards Pang Nuan as an old acquaintance in his early years. Little does he know that his old acquaintance has been reborn...
Ju Xin, who underestimated the enemy, was seduced by Pang Nuan, and one hundred thousand Yan troops were unknowingly surrounded by Zhao troops.
Zhao Guochang and Pang Nuan set up deep ditches and high fortresses in Shandong Heng. The Yan army attacked them, but they were shot by Zhao Jun's strong bows and crossbows. The Yan army suffered heavy losses.
Ju Xin led his army to retreat and encountered the Zhao army led by Li Mu. Withdrawing again, he encountered the main force of the Zhao army led by Pang Nuan. The two Zhao armies attacked from two directions.
The Yan army was defeated, more than 20,000 Yan soldiers were killed, and the rest collapsed or surrendered to the Zhao army. As for the Yan army's leader Ju Xin, he was captured and killed.
At this moment, the Zhao army was cleaning the battlefield, looking for the collapsed Yan army all over the mountains and plains.
On a hillside, an old man with white hair, white eyebrows, white beard, straight nose and deep eyes, wearing light red armor, had his hands on his back, eyes like a deep pool looking at the battlefield. The cruel battlefield scene did not cause any fluctuation in his eyes. .
Although the old man is quite old, he doesn't have any wrinkles on his cheeks, and he looks extraordinary. He doesn't have the aura of iron-blooded killing in his body, but he is more calm and calm, just like an outsider.
If you put on a Taoist robe, you will look like an old immortal, with similar appearance and temperament, no need for any disguise.
"Report to General, the enemy general has been captured alive."
A well-dressed Zhao Jun messenger quickly ran up the hillside. When he was three meters away from the old man, he knelt on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and spoke in a loud voice.
When the old man heard this, he turned around and said expressionlessly: "No need to keep it, just kill it."
"Here!"
This old man is none other than Zhao General Pang Nuan.
As far as Pang Nuan's attitude is concerned, it is obvious that although the Yan army commander Ju Xin and Pang Nuan are old acquaintances, their relationship is not very harmonious, and they even have quite a few feuds.
These are all secondary. The most important thing is Pang Nuan's appearance. If Cheng Qiao were here, he would definitely be surprised.
Because the old man looks exactly like Master Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie in the anime, which means that this old man is the contemporary Gui Guzi, the leader of the Guigu Sect.
The last time, which was the fifth joint attack on Qin, one of the main organizers was Zhao general Pang Nuan.
In the fifth Five Kingdoms Expedition to Qinzhong, Chu Chun Shenjun Huang Xie was the commander, and Zhao General Pang Nuan was the deputy commander. This time in history, the Five Kingdoms allied forces entered the hinterland of Qin, not far from Xianyang.
If the Qin State had not made concerted efforts and Lu Buwei led his army to resist desperately, the coalition forces would not have been as united as Wei Wuji when the five kingdoms attacked Qin, and the supply lines would have been stretched, and Xianyang, the capital of the King of Qin, might have been captured.
When a king is defeated, it is such a huge blow to a country. Even if the Qin State is not destroyed, I am afraid that it will be unable to escape in decades or even hundreds of years.
Cheng Qiao still didn't know that there were big bosses like Gui Guzi among Qin's opponents, otherwise he might have gone to Zhao to intervene in the war between Yan and Zhao, and even persuaded Brother Wang and Lu Buwei to send a large army to intervene.
Originally, Cheng Qiao planned to let Luo Wang intervene in the war between Yan and Zhao. The idea at that time was to prevent the Yan army from defeat. Even if the defeat was not so tragic, it would not be so tragic, so that it could better involve the Zhao country.
But after careful consideration, Cheng Qiao gave up his plan to let Luo Wang Zhao Jun reveal the information, because the Yan army was not defeated, and the military and national power was not greatly damaged. How could he come to embrace Qin's father's lap, and how could he obey Qin's words? , what about becoming a die-hard ally?
After the defeat, Yan State formed an alliance with Qin State in order to protect itself, and was willing to send troops to contain some of Zhao State's forces when Qin State's father sent troops to attack Zhao State.
In order to protect itself, the State of Yan even allowed the State of Qin to send ministers to serve as the prime minister of the State of Yan.
Because of this great defeat, King Yan was unwilling and unable to participate in the last Five Kingdoms Conquest of Qin.
Your Zhao State destroyed our Yan State's 100,000-strong army and greatly damaged our Yan State's vitality. Do you still want our Yan State to contribute?
Fuck you!
Anyway, Qin cannot defeat Yan until it destroys Zhao, so go away!
Therefore, the position of the Yan Kingdom was replaced by the Wei Kingdom, forming the five kingdoms of Zhao, Wei, Han, Chu, and Wei.
Obviously, Weiguo is just making up the numbers, and the Five-Nation Alliance sounds more deterrent than the Four-Nation Alliance.
As early as 343 BC, Wei abolished the Wei Jun named Ji and established Zi Nan, a descendant of another branch of Wei Linggong, as the Wei Jun. In 254 BC, Wei was finally annexed by Wei and became its vassal. In 252 BC,
Wei killed Huaijun and appointed his son-in-law Yuanjun as Weijun.
The Wei State has long been under the control of the Wei State, and the monarchs have already deposed and established power, let alone others?
It is worth mentioning that Shang Yang, Wu Qi, Nie Zheng, Jing Ke, Gongsun Li, and Gongsun Yu were all from Wei.
…
The war between Yan and Zhao ended in mid-July. In late July, a secret envoy sent by King Xi of Yan arrived in Xianyang, conveying his intention to retaliate and form an alliance.
Cheng Qiao knew about this matter, but did not participate. Lu Buwei was handling everything.
With Lu Buwei's sophisticated calculations, it is impossible for the Qin State to suffer a loss, and it is still taking the absolute initiative. In this situation, if you don't take a big bite of meat, is it worthy of being a businessman?
In early August, news came from the papermaking workshop that the paper reserves were sufficient.
After receiving the news, Ying Zheng immediately sent someone to invite Cheng Qiao and Lu Buwei to discuss how to deal with it...
Cheng Qiao and Lu Buwei each expressed their opinions, and Ying Zheng also added some of his own ideas, and finally decided to invite hundreds of scholars and wealthy businessmen from all over the world to come to Xianyang, Qin State, and form a special chamber of commerce to take charge of this matter.
Cheng Qiao will be responsible for this chamber of commerce.
Paper revenue is divided into ten parts, 10% goes to Chengqiao, 10% goes to the Chamber of Commerce, 40% goes to the Shaofu, and 40% goes to the state treasury.
As the Prime Minister of Qin, Lu Buwei was busy with government affairs and had no energy to deal with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. Other ministers and ministers also had their own responsibilities. As the King of Qin, it was naturally impossible for Ying Zheng to condescend to deal with the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce.
Cheng Qiao, the hero who made the paper appear, naturally had to take over as an idler who didn't have much to do. It just so happened that Cheng Qiao's status could overwhelm hundreds of schools of thought and wealthy businessmen all over the world.
Cheng Qiao was very happy about this matter.
In today's era when only the rich and powerful can afford paper, there is no doubt that paper will be a very profitable industry. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a mountain of gold and silver, and it is also a steady stream of gold and silver.
Even if the papermaking technology is leaked in the future, the chamber of commerce that has the advantage will still be the super overlord of the papermaking industry and ancillary industries!
The papermaking technology will definitely be leaked. When the time comes, the Qin State will take the initiative to announce part of it. Otherwise, how can the Qin State's official workshops alone meet the needs of the world?
How can we hold the imperial examination if we cannot meet the needs of the whole world?
Compulsory education is unrealistic, but the imperial examination is very promising.
After leaving the palace, Cheng Qiao took action.
First, he sent someone to take ten sheets of each type of paper produced in the papermaking workshop, and in the name of Qin, he visited hundreds of scholars and wealthy merchants in the world and sent out invitations.
Then he sent people around him to select a location for the Chamber of Commerce. Finally, Cheng Qiao went to the Shaofu and brought out a group of officials to help first and posted a recruitment notice.
Cheng Qiao is not interested in doing everything by himself, so he needs to do things.
It's a pity that he doesn't have such convenient conditions in the Young Master's Office. Once the shelf is set up and some benefits are given, he can be sent back to the Young Master's Office.
Of course, it is impossible to send real talents back. When the time comes, just say hello to Brother Wang and keep his official status and come over on secondment.
As for how long the secondment will last, that's up to him. It's not impossible for a lifetime...
A month and a half later, hundreds of scholars and wealthy merchants all over the world received invitations from Qin one after another.
Seeing the different textures and colors of the paper in their hands, they all showed great shock. After waking up, they immediately sent important people to Xianyang of Qin State.
The various schools of thought mainly value paper's role in inheriting and disseminating their theories, while the world's wealthy businessmen value huge profits.
Of course, there are many people who have seen both, and even more people. There are countless smart people in the world.
The large-scale emergence of paper means the replacement of text carriers, which affects all aspects. It can be called a major event that affects the destiny of the country!
Through the stars, Donghuang Taiyi noticed that Qin's national destiny had greatly increased, and immediately decided to take this opportunity to tie the Yin and Yang family into Qin's chariot.
