Gu Xun looked at the Changhong Sword on the table and said softly:
"Changhong Sword...is the first of the Seven Swords."
"The Seven Swords not only represent the seven unique weapons, but also represent my seven former close friends."
"I pass down the martial arts of the Seven Swords to remember them."
"Is this so..." The little kid from Fusu didn't ask the teacher where his old friends were, but just sighed silently in his heart.
Gu Xun continued, minding his own business, "The Changhong Sword represents courage, and this is also a quality I hope you can possess."
"Born in this world, everyone must constantly make choices and bear the consequences."
"This is especially true for you who will become the king of a country in the future, and what you carry is far more than just your destiny, but the future of countless people under your rule."
"I don't want you to become a benevolent and righteous king, but never lose the courage to take responsibility."
Fusu followed his teacher's gaze and looked at Changhong Sword, which exuded waves of enthusiasm, and nodded solemnly, although... his heart was still full of confusion.
………………
In April of the same year, Meng Tian, the commander of the left concubine of the Qin State, led his army to attack the three northern counties of the Zhao State. It only took one month to effortlessly incorporate the three counties of Jiuyuan, Yunzhong and Yanmen into the territory of the Qin State.
And with this merit, he was promoted to the title of Youshu Chief.
Zhao Wangqian was unable to resist Qin, but he did not want to lose his land in vain, so... he turned to another neighboring country with which he had a bad relationship - Yan.
Just like the Qin army attacked Zhao, Zhao also easily occupied thirty cities in Shanggu County of Yan State.
This caused controversy within the Qin State, and some radical officials decided to take the opportunity to attack the Zhao State, seize the city, and destroy the country.
Others believe that this is not the time to launch a war to destroy the country, and it is not appropriate to move the army lightly.
In the end, Zhao State ceded the eleven cities captured from Shanggu County to Qin State in exchange for temporary peace between the two countries.
What’s interesting is that this peace negotiation was facilitated by a twelve-year-old boy who was sent as an envoy to the State of Zhao.
It is a pity that although he had meritorious service, he disappeared when he returned to the Qin State. His relatives were also annihilated because he failed to return after the expiration date. As a child, he wanted to exchange for the consent of the King of Qin to go to the State of Zhao.
, always give some guarantee.
It is true that Ying Zheng regrets such a talent, but Qin's laws are strict. He issued a military order but failed to return after the deadline. It is no wonder that others can blame him.
As for the various forces contributing to it... it is not his turn as the King of Qin to understand his ministers.
Although Gan Luo's performance is good, in Ying Zheng's view, it is just like that, and cannot be said to be indispensable.
And Zhao's cession of territory did not bring about much lasting peace.
In August of the same year, Zhao was hit by a severe drought throughout the country. There was a temporary shortage of food in the country and people's morale was unstable.
After the State of Qin learned about it, it immediately sent out its important ministers, General Wang Jian and Chen Bing, to the Qin-Zhao border in Taiyuan County, and the troops were directed towards the capital of Zhao State HD.
Just when General Li Mu of Zhao State was on guard against Wang Jian's army, something that the Six Kingdoms of Shandong Province did not expect, but that was well known in most people's minds, happened.
In the history of the Qin Dynasty, Nei Shiteng, the commander of Pingyang's heavy armor army, suddenly led his troops south, crossed the Yellow River, and directly attacked Xinzheng, the capital of South Korea.
South Korea, which had lost most of its land and had its military strength weakened, sent veteran general Shen Wan, and managed to cobble together a mixed army of 50,000 old and new soldiers, and marched into the old Korean army camp on the south bank of the Mishui River.
However, before the camp was completely repaired, 30,000 Pingyang heavy armor troops rushed to the banks of the Mishui River and pressed directly up.
The Korean army, which had no fighting power and no fighting spirit, was immediately defeated, and the entire front line collapsed.
In just half a day, Neishiteng led the Pingyang heavy armor army to surround Xinzheng City.
In the end, King An Xianyin of Han surrendered. At this point, Korea, one of the Seven Warring States of the Three Jin Dynasties, was destroyed and its ancestral halls were cut off.
Xinzheng City, inside the Korean Royal Palace, Chaohui Hall.
Neishiteng had just accepted the surrender of Han Wangan and was about to arrange for people to take care of all the Korean princes, nobles, civil and military officials, when suddenly a soldier came and said a few words to him.
After hearing this, Neishiteng couldn't help but show a strange expression, but he did not continue with the matter at hand. Instead, he ordered his lieutenants not to do anything for the time being. After restraining the soldiers, he quickly walked out of the hall and headed towards the palace gate.
Go.
At this time, at the entrance of the palace, a pure black horse with no stray hair visible was snorting, its hooves moving restlessly. On the horse's back, sitting on the horse's back, Gu Xun, dressed in black robes, was sitting.
p>
Neishiteng, who was dressed in armor, also rushed to the palace gate at this time. When he saw Gu Xun, he immediately clasped his hands and said in salute, "I didn't know that the national master was coming, but Teng was far away to greet him."
Gu Xun smiled casually, turned over and dismounted, and returned the courtesy, "Master Nei Shi Teng is so polite."
Seeing Gu Xun's kind expression, Nei Shiteng temporarily hesitated and asked, "I don't know if the imperial master is here, but what is the king's order?"
"Oh, it has nothing to do with His Majesty the King of Qin. Gu came here for some private matters." Gu Xun asked with a smile, "I wonder how Lord Han Wangan's concubines and family members were dealt with by Nei Shi Teng?"
Neishiteng felt a shiver in his heart. He didn't expect that he was here for this... Could it be related to the deceased Ninth Young Master of South Korea who was said to have had a close relationship with the Imperial Master?
After thinking for a while in his mind, Nei Shiteng did not forget to reply, "We are all still in the palace for the time being. No action has been taken. I don't know about the national master..."
"I need to take two people with me." Gu Xun said his request.
"Princess Honglian of South Korea, and the concubine Hu Meiren, oh yes, there are three of them, and Hu Meiren's sister."
Nei Shiteng frowned, then relaxed.
Fortunately, he hasn't sent the report back to Xianyang yet.
"Does the Imperial Master know that all the people in these palaces will be sent to Xianyang to wait for the king to deal with them?"
"Ha!" Gu Xun laughed and said with a stern look, "I know it very well."
"However, Lord Nestern should also know that if I want to take someone away, I guarantee that you and the soldiers under your command will not even be able to touch me."
"I came here specifically to meet you, Lord Nestern, because I think you are worth making friends with."
"Then, Lord Neishiteng, are you willing to sell this favor to Gu?"
There was no emotion or anger in Gu Xun's last words, but Nei Shiteng could feel the threat in them.
This is not a threat to his personal safety, but a threat to the future relationship between the two parties.
If you disagree, we will no longer be friends.
Nei Shiteng didn't think about it very much, or it should be said that he thought about it as soon as he heard Gu Xun's request.
As a Guizhou leader who doesn't even have a surname, his ability to reach this position depends not only on his own ability, but also on the principle of harmony in the officialdom. Naturally, he will not offend Ru Zhongtian for trivial matters.
The national teacher Gu Xun.
The reason I pretended to be evasive before was to make this favor look more meaningful.
"Teng has heard about the reputation of the Imperial Master for a long time and has been fascinated by it for a long time. As for those three people... Haha, the family and country were destroyed and the palace was in chaos. Maybe they all ran away and disappeared."
