When the envoys from Chu State came to Zhao State, they were almost stunned.
He saw the officials of Zhao personally helping the people harvest crops, and even driving their own cars to transport the grain. This made the Chu envoys who had been away from Zhao for a long time very confused, because the people everywhere were still suffering from the war they had just experienced.
Shrouded in clouds, along the road, he saw the Koreans who had lost their homeland and the Wei people who had lost their families. The rich despair and unsolvable sorrow could not be solved by Pingyuan Jun.
Even in the harvest season, there is not much joy on the faces of the people, but Zhao is different.
Zhao people seem to have forgotten the hardships caused by the war. On the road, Zhao people can often be seen carrying baskets and humming unknown tunes. Zhao's crops are no better than those of Han and Wei. Zhao people
Their lives may not be better than those of their neighboring countries, but there is an indescribable difference, which is a spiritual difference. You can see that difference from their smiles and their faces.
Ambassador Chu couldn't help but feel a little moved, and he thought more highly of Wei Wuji.
However, when the Chu envoys talked with these Zhao people, they found that the person they talked about the most was not Wei Wuji, but their Lord Ma Fu. The old people showed their gaped teeth and said with a smile: "Master Ma Fu has been to my home before.
Eat my food." The children rode bamboo horses and held wooden sticks. Usually the tallest child played the role of Ma Fujun, and the rest were his generals. They ran around in the countryside, shouting Ma Fujun.
's famous name.
The officials treated the envoy of Chu very politely. When they talked about Ma Fujun, they praised him repeatedly and expressed their gratitude to him for his benevolence and righteousness.
Those strong men looked at the Chu envoy arrogantly and loudly talked about their deeds in the battle with Ma Fujun. The Chu envoy could vaguely feel his disdain and complacency towards him. In his free time, there were often people
Sitting at the gate of the village, talking about Ma Fujun's deeds, there must be a group of people around to listen. After learning that the Chu State envoy was here, they all raised their heads high and looked at him with disdain.
The Chu envoy's car and the carriage of a Zhao merchant happened to be blocked on the road. The Chu envoy stood up impatiently and asked angrily: Don't you know the principle of the humble giving way to the noble?
The merchant actually raised his head and asked loudly: Do you know Mr. Ma Fu of Zhao State?
The Chu envoy's eyes widened and he didn't know how to respond. However, the merchant quickly got out of the way. When the Chu envoy passed by, the merchant bowed to him and then said to the Chu envoy: "If Ma Fujun is here,
Opposite me, he will make way for me, but you won't. This is why you are not as good as Ma Fujun. Now I am making way for you. Don't think that I am afraid of you. This is because I am from Zhao and I want to follow suit.
It’s because of Mr. Ma Fu’s character.”
When the envoy of Chu heard this, he was so ashamed that he covered his face with his sleeves and ran away in a hurry.
Chu Shi never thought that one person could actually change an entire country.
When the envoy from Chu arrived in Handan, Wei Wuji greeted him and brought him to King Zhao. King Zhao looked at the envoy in front of him. The envoy from Chu behaved very respectfully. He straightforwardly explained Chu's thoughts.
I told Wei Wuji without any cover-up. This was also Huang Xie's order. Huang Xie said: Wei Wuji is a forthright person and he doesn't like others to be secretive.
After the Chu envoy told Wei Wuji and King Zhao of his intention, he quietly waited for their reply. Wei Wuji looked at King Zhao and said: "Nowadays, no country can fight against Qin alone. Only by uniting can we fight against Qin alone."
In order to face the violent Qin, please promise the King of Chu that the State of Zhao and the State of Chu will live in harmony. This is something that the State of Qin does not want to see, and the talents of both countries are willing to see it."
Since Wei Wuji said this, King Zhao naturally had no objection. He agreed to Chu Chu. Chu Chu himself had never thought that things would go so smoothly. However, King Zhao was not willing to let Chu go back like this.
He reported that he was going to host a banquet to entertain the Chu envoy. The envoy wanted to go back early to complete his mission, but he did not dare to refuse King Zhao's kindness. The two countries had just agreed to form an alliance, and he refused King Zhao's invitation. If this was ruined,
If something big happens, then his mission will not be accomplished.
People in this era take their mission very seriously, almost to the point of paranoia. In South Korea, there have just been several murders. First, Mu was sentenced to death. After his death, he felt that he had failed to protect him.
He, Sikou, who obviously promised to be the censor, but failed to complete his mission, committed suicide. After Sikou committed suicide, censor Su, who felt that he had killed Mu and Sikou, also committed suicide.
The envoy stayed to attend the banquet of King Zhao. The banquet was not large in scale and only included a few close ministers of King Zhao, such as Yushi Zhao Hui, Sikou Dong Chengzi and others. King Zhao looked at the envoy of Chu happily and asked:
"How is Xunzi's life in the Chu Kingdom?" The Chu envoy hurriedly replied: "He is living a good life. He handles the government affairs of Lanling seriously and has accepted many disciples for teaching."
King Zhao was a little disappointed, nodded, and asked again: "I heard that there are as many talented people in Chu as there are stars. I wonder which talented people there are?"
The envoy replied: "Chu has respected gentlemen like Chun Shenjun, and brave generals like Jing Yang and Xiang Xian." He briefly introduced the talents of Chu, and King Zhao's eyes shone.
, showing great excitement
Xianyang of Qin State
King Qin looked at Fan Ju in front of him seriously. The two of them had just finished reading the information sent by the spies. Fan Ju was very calm, but King Qin looked a little impatient and angry at the moment. King Qin said angrily: "The State of Chu has already entered into an alliance with the State of Wei.
, South Korea has drawn up an alliance and decided to advance and retreat together to resist foreign enemies. They are going to unite to deal with Qin!!" Fan Ju smiled and shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, you are wrong."
"oh?"
"Zhao and Qi will also join the alliance soon. This is something that can be determined now."
When King Qin heard this, he became even more angry and said, "The five countries have united to attack Qin. Why don't you look worried at all?" Fan Ju laughed and said, "This is Huang Xie's strategy. The Chu State
Want to dominate." King Qin frowned, still not quite understanding, Fan Ju added: "Today the princes are afraid of Qin's power, restless, and hide in the palace in fear, for fear of hearing the news of Qin's attack."
"Huang Xie wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to form an alliance with the Five Kingdoms with Chu as the leader. His purpose was to increase Chu's power and defeat Qin with the help of the Five Kingdoms, thus establishing Chu's dominance. Today's proposed
The alliance is just the first step in his strategy."
"He knew that Qin needed to restore its national strength and would not start a war in the short term, so he drew up an alliance. In this way, he would not have to fight Qin in the short term, and he could also make the fools of the five countries think that it was Chu's blessing that allowed them to
By avoiding war, we can increase Chu's status in the hearts of other countries and prepare for the future coalition forces led by Chu to attack Qin." Fan Ju said and couldn't help but laugh.
"When we were thinking about annexation, Chu State was thinking about domination. Now we want to rule the world, but Chu State is still thinking about domination hahaha." Fan Ju laughed disdainfully and said, "What's the point?
What’s worth worrying about?”
King Qin glanced at him and then said: "Before Ma Fujun's words reached Qin, you thought the same as him. Please don't underestimate our opponent." Fan Ju was stunned for a moment and then said: "I don't know how.
I despise him. This is what I think." He paused and then said: "Chu's strategy is based on the fact that Qin will not launch a war in the short term, so it is very simple to destroy the alliance.
thing."
"Please send Lord Wu'an to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to Korea. The Koreans beat our envoy and insulted you. This is something we cannot tolerate. Please write to the King of Han. The King of Han must go there in person.
Come to Xianyang and plead guilty to you, otherwise Lord Wu An will destroy his country and capture his people." Fan Ju said calmly, and King Qin nodded thoughtfully.
"However, if this is the case, I am afraid that it will make the princes more afraid of Qin, thus making Chu's strategy successful. If the five-nation coalition forces attack Qin, I am worried that even Lord Wu'an will not be able to deal with such a situation." King Qin was somewhat worried.
asked worriedly.
Fan Ju said: "Qi State and Yan State will never send troops to Qin State. I can swear to you on this point. Zhao State has just experienced a great war. The country is young and strong, and it is autumn harvest time. Why?
Maybe they are sending troops for South Korea? As for the Wei State, Wei State has no generals to lead the army, and it has experienced another great defeat. The King of Wei does not dare to send troops. The only one who can save South Korea is the State of Chu."
"Huang Xie has been trying to avoid a war between Qin and Chu, and wants to weaken Qin through other means, so Chu will not send troops."
"It would be better if he sends troops. When the princes can't help him, let Lord Wu An help Huang Xie and King Chu calm down." Fan Ju said, with a fierce light in his eyes.
King Qin then laughed, nodded, and said, "I will write a letter to King Han right now."
In a certain courtyard in Xianyang, Bai Qi was smiling and explaining to Meng Wu what needed to be paid attention to in war. Bai Qi was not a qualified teacher. The art of war he told Meng Wu was not complicated.
Tell him a very simple thing. He didn't tell Mengwu how to set up the formation, but told him to set up the formation quickly. He also didn't tell Mengwu how to judge the opponent's intention. He just told Mengwu to judge the opponent's intention in time.
intention.
This may seem like silly nonsense to others, but Meng Wu listened to it with gusto. He also recorded Bai Qi's words on the bamboo slips very seriously and read them over and over every day. During these days, he was either in the military camp or in the military camp.
Bai Qi didn't even return home. His wife came to Meng Wu's parents crying every day to complain that she was pregnant and about to give birth, but Meng Wu ignored her and ran around.
This is Meng Wu's first child, and he cares about it very much. However, he feels that it is because of the child that he should work harder to learn the art of war. It is best to earn a position as a prince through war, so that his
If the child could inherit the title in the future, he occasionally thought that if it was a girl, she would be named Shan, and if it was a boy, he would be named Tian, or Yi.
"Please tell me what you should pay attention to during night raids."
"Don't attack at night." Bai Qi shook his head and said. Meng Wu was stunned. Bai Qi then said gently: "Before marching and fighting, you must calculate the time to avoid fighting at night and being attacked at night. This is what a general should do.
What should be done. If you are attacked at night, you must remain calm and do not mobilize your soldiers at will. As long as you are well prepared, the side that attacks first will be defeated first."
Bai Qi was about to say more when suddenly several warriors walked into the courtyard. They brought the order from King Qin and asked Bai Qi to leave immediately to prepare for the crusade against Korea. Bai Qi stood up in surprise and took the order.
Meng Wu was also very surprised. Why did he suddenly want to attack South Korea? Or should Wu Anjun personally lead the army? To deal with a country like South Korea, does Wuan Jun still need to personally take action?
Meng Wu turned his head curiously, looked at Bai Qi, and asked, "Can you take me with you?"
Bai Qibing didn't answer. When he raised his head again with Wang Ling in his hand, his face had become extremely cold. He could no longer see his usual smile. His face was as frosty and murderous. He was so frightened.
Meng Wudu took a few steps back, not daring to get close. Bai Qi lowered his head towards the envoy and said coldly:
"Get up and take your orders."
Meng Wu still got his wish and joined the ranks of the army. The King of Qin temporarily gathered a group of old Qin people from Xianyang. They were all the elites of the Qin State and warriors who could serve as successor officers in the war. However, it took less than ten years.
Within a day, the army had gathered in the palace of Xianyang. These elite warriors, who had undergone nearly ten years of training, were quickly organized by Bai Qi, and Meng Wu was also appointed as Bai Qi's deputy general.
The army set off from Xianyang and headed towards South Korea. Along the way, Bai Qi never said another word to Meng Wu, and Meng Wu did not dare to ask at all. To be honest, he was very afraid of the situation in the war.
Bai Qi, Bai Qi at this time will be very terrifying. There once was a general who had fought with Bai Qi for many years. Because of a small mistake, the number of people under his command who died in battle exceeded the quota of beheadings, so he was mercilessly executed by Bai Qi.
kill.
Because of this, no one ignores Bai Qi's orders, and no one dares to be careless, because Bai Qi never cares about these things. In the eyes of many people, he is a cold war machine, so many soldiers and generals admire him.
He is afraid of him and does not dare to approach him.
When he heard that Bai Qi was leading the Qin army to attack South Korea, the King of Han could no longer keep his calm. He panicked. His whole body was trembling with fear. He summoned his ministers in panic.
, constantly wiping the sweat from his forehead, lowered his posture, and asked them for advice on how to repel Bai Qi. However, no matter how he asked, his ministers remained silent and said nothing.
The King of Han was furious, and he asked tremblingly: "Is there not a wise man in Korea who can defeat Bai Qi for me?"
"some."
"who??!"
"Lieutenant Mu, Si Kou Lou, and Yu Shi Su."
"Come here! Get this guy out! Behead him! Behead him!!"
