Chapter 12: Yinghou's clever plan to secure the world
The roads of Qin are the smoothest and broadest among all the countries, but the other countries do not agree with this point of view, especially the countries of the Three Jins. After all, they are barbarian tigers and wolves from the west.
The country is rude. They only rely on their barbarism and cruelty to maintain a strong army, and they have no culture and no system. The people of Qin live in dire straits. How could Qin have such a broad road?
?
Even though Sanjin covered his eyes and shook his head crazily, shouting: I won’t listen, I won’t listen, I won’t listen, this is all a lie! But Zheng Zhu’s feelings are still very deep, there is no way, trust
It's too close, even if you cover your eyes, you can always smell something.
The Qin people didn't even take over the entire Shangdang County, but they had already started construction work in Shangdang. Along the way, Zheng Zhu saw the Qin people waving tools and building roads. They were going to Shangdang.
The party was integrated into Qin's road system. Zheng Zhu initially complained about the cruelty of the King of Qin and sympathized with the Qin people. However, the further they went, the less Zheng Zhu dared to speak.
Zheng Zhu was very scared.
Along the way, the Qin people he saw seemed to be crazy. Those who built roads in Shangdang County were all the lowest-level civilians in Qin, but there was not a trace of complaint on their faces. They were made of loess.
His resolute face was full of ridges, but he was extremely determined, and his eyes were full of confidence. He looked at Zheng Zhu with a somewhat disdainful look. Zheng Zhu did not see a lazy Qin person along the way.
Even though they were sweating profusely, they kept waving the tools in their hands.
It's not like I'm busy with the country's affairs, it's like I'm doing my own housework.
In the State of Zhao, only Zhao people would be so concerned about their own affairs.
He didn't even see these people talking. They were very silent and concentrated on their own affairs. The division of labor was very clear. There were ten people on every other section of the road, consisting of one official and nine soldiers.
Zheng Zhu was sitting in the carriage. He felt very strange, as if he was not moving forward, but was repeating the journey just now, because the Qin people on each section of the road were exactly the same from their body appearance to their actions.
"The road specifications in Shangdang County are different from those in Qin Dynasty, so these people are expanding the road." Meng Wu, who was in charge of the escort, explained with a smile. Zheng Zhu nodded and looked at the people on the side of the road who stopped after seeing the carriage.
With an indifferent expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart. Peace must be negotiated. Zhao State is not Qin's opponent. No, any country that does not unite will not be Qin's opponent!
The carriage drove quickly towards Yin's City, but Zheng Zhu's mood became increasingly heavy.
At this moment, Fan Ju's carriage was also rushing towards Yinshi City. As early as when he learned that Zhao State was going to send people to negotiate peace, he left Xianyang and headed in the direction of Shangdang County.
Rushing there, Fan Ju knew very well that this battle was the most important battle for the Qin State. If this battle was won, it would be considered that the greatest results had been achieved by making close and far-reaching enemies.
Fan Ju must rush there in person, otherwise, if he has to wait for Zheng Zhu to come to see him, he may have to wait for half a year. Fan Ju is impatient, and what he hates most in his life is waiting. He has to go to Shangdang in person, and meet with him on the way.
When Zheng and Zhu met, this not only saved a lot of time, but also showed the courtesy of the Qin people to the Zhao people. Sitting in the carriage, Fan Ju closed his eyes and began to think.
Fan Ju attaches great importance to results. Many times, he feels that if one of his decisions cannot bring double or even triple results, then his decision is a failure. Therefore, while still on the road, Fan Ju has already
I began to think about what I should do to make it more effective for myself to come to the party in person.
Both of them kept telling the driver to speed up, each with their own mission in mind, and after a long journey, they arrived at Yin's City one after another.
The old man Zheng Zhu, who was tired of life, had just got off the carriage when he saw someone running towards him in the distance. He lowered his head and ran forward in small steps. This was a gesture he would only make when greeting someone more noble than himself.
Zheng Zhu was shocked and at a loss when he came out. Before he could react, the man had already arrived in front of him. Meng Wu on the side had his eyes wide open. He was even more surprised than Zheng Zhu. When had he seen Ying Hou before?
Looks like this?
"Ju heard that there is a talented man named Zheng Zhu in the State of Zhao. He is a philanthropic and elegant man. Even when the King of Zhao sees him, he will get off the carriage, and the ministers will stop and salute when they see him. Ju just
A middle-aged man with no talent can only pay homage to you in this way when he sees you today." Fan Ju leaned over and said, and Zheng Zhu finally understood who was in front of him.
"Zhu dare not accept such a great gift from you. You are a famous and wise minister in the world. The King of Qin loves you very much. All the scholars in the world admire you. How can Zhu dare to accept your gift? Please don't humiliate me like this again.
", Zheng Zhu hurriedly replied. Fan Ju smiled, stepped forward to hold Zheng Zhu's hand, and said to the people around him: "Qin and Zhao are brothers, but it is villains like Feng Ting who hinder them.
Let Qin and Zhao be at odds with each other, I think this war can be ended!"
Meng Wu trembled all over and said hurriedly: "But..."
"Shut up!" Fan Ju scolded him unceremoniously. Meng Wu lowered his head helplessly and said nothing more.
Fan Ju then pulled Zheng Zhu toward the gate of the city. Zheng Zhu was so excited that he could not speak. He followed Fan Ju into the city. People on the road were very respectful when they saw Zheng Zhu. Fan Ju personally hosted a banquet for him.
At the banquet, no one dared to humiliate Zheng Zhu. They all greeted him respectfully. Fan Ju even held his hand and said again: "Qin and Zhao are brothers with the same surname. Han and Wei are outsiders, brothers are not."
Pointing your sword at outsiders but at yourself? There is no such thing in the world. What do you think?"
Zheng Zhu nodded and said excitedly: "What you said makes sense. Qin and Zhao should not fight."
After the banquet was over, Fan Ju even took Zheng Zhu into his room, and the two held a candle and talked at night.
Zheng Zhu was very happy.
His eyes filled with excitement, and he sat indoors. He held Fan Ju's hand and could not stop the tears. He said: "I was very worried when I came here. There was no way to promote the Zhao-Qin collaboration. Zhao had already launched four campaigns.
I am young and strong, and there are no young people with beards in the country. This is the farming season. I did not expect that you, Yinghou, are such a noble person. I am very grateful for your hospitality."
"I hope that Zhao and Qin will stop fighting. My son Qie, who served as Zhao's general, was killed by the Qin people, but I don't resent him. He died for the country, but I am very sad.
I only have one son, and I hope the war can end soon, otherwise more sons of Zhao and Qin will die on the battlefield." Zheng Zhu wiped his tears and sobbed repeatedly.
Fan Ju looked at him, but was speechless.
"Thank you, Marquis Ying. The people of Zhao will never forget your kindness. I am so happy. I have never been so happy since Qie died in the battle..." Perhaps he drank too much, Zheng
Zhu murmured like this, gradually fell on the bed, and fell asleep, with a smile still on his face and tears. Fan Ju stood up and looked at the old man in front of him with a complicated expression. In the end, he just sighed.
No words.
Sorry, if I didn't do this, more Qin people's sons would die on the battlefield.
The next day, Fan Ju took Zheng Zhu on a journey again. They were going to visit the King of Qin. This time on the journey, Zheng Zhu finally put aside the heavy mission and talked and laughed with Fan Ju on the way. Fan Ju
He was not in a hurry. He took Zheng and Zhu to see the Qin State along the way and explained it to him personally. Of course, Zheng Zhu was not in a hurry. After all, Fan Ju had promised him to negotiate a peace, and the Qin army also stopped attacking.
.....
Wei State, Daliang.
"Now the violent Qin has invaded us, captured the cities of Zhao, and killed the officials of Zhao. Zhao and Wei are brotherly countries. I ask your Majesty to send reinforcements to help Zhao and repel Qin's invasion!"
", Prince Zhao Yu bowed to the King of Wei respectfully, and then said sincerely.
Wei Wangyu squinted his slender eyes and said displeasedly: "I heard that Zhao and Qin are brotherly countries, and you still say that they want to attack our Wei State together?"
"Your Majesty, you can't believe these rumors. These are all Qin people's plan to alienate people." Zhao Yu was shocked and said hurriedly.
"Rumors? This is what Fan Ju said personally to Zheng Zhu, the envoy of Zhao State. Now that the Qin people have stopped attacking, they respect Zheng Zhu very much, and they also say that they will form an alliance to deal with Wei State? Are you trying to deceive Wei's army?
Go to the State of Zhao and join the Qin people in destroying our army in the State of Wei? Come here! Drive this lobbyist out! Never let him enter the land of the State of Wei again!!" King Wei shouted angrily.
Suddenly a dozen warriors rushed out from the surroundings, grabbed Zhao Yu and took him out of the palace.
And this scene was constantly being played out in the palaces of the various kingdoms where Zhao sent people to ask for help.
