Chapter 203 Ma Fujun will be widowed sooner or later
Zhan has never been so happy.
During these days, nothing but a smile could be seen on his face. Zhao Kuo's actions were so in line with the farmer's ideas. His every move, including the disaster prevention he wanted to carry out this time,
, all coincide with the farmers' ideas. Zhan believes that Mafu Jun is a sage given to them by Shennong. In Mafu Township, perhaps because of Zhao Kuo, everyone is used to farming in person, and is also used to treating the people in a friendly manner.
...This is simply an ideal place for farmers.
There are no heavy taxes, no busy corvee, farmers happily work on their farmland, and Ma Fujun's customers who occasionally pass by will not bully them, but chat with them laughing and joking, Ma Fujun even often goes to the fields.
The disciples who came to help some old men and women who had no youth at home finally saw their ideal country, and they quickly became busy.
They began to help Zhao Kuo survey the surrounding farmland. Farmers had ways to improve farmland. According to Zhan, the land could be optimized. They used silt to improve the dry land... Zhao Kuo knew nothing about these things.
Therefore, they humbly asked Zhan for advice. The two of them would often walk to far away farmland to personally explore the quality of the land here.
Just a few days later, Zhao Kuo took Zhan to the disaster-stricken area such as Lieren. The terrain of Lieren was lower and water gathered on the road. Zhan rolled up his trouser legs, took off his shoes, and jumped into the water.
Inside, Zhao Kuo also quickly got out of the carriage. The flood was not the flood disaster Zhao Kuo imagined. He did not see pictures of houses being submerged and livestock drowned. The water he saw was only gathered in
Several small depressions.
The rest of the place is just wet, with no water. The ground has turned into mud. When you walk in this muddy ground, everything below your calves will become pitch black. The water has receded, leaving only some mud. Of course, some houses are still collapsed.
After rain fell, some lower areas turned into a large depression, and everything was wet. Looking at these, Zhan sighed helplessly: "Water, drought, wind and snow, disease, locusts, this is
Five evils that harm the people."
"The five hazards are major disasters that endanger people's lives and production. Therefore, if a wise ruler wants to consolidate his rule, his top priority is to eliminate the five hazards...especially floods, which are the most serious.", Zhan
As he said that, he looked into the distance again and said to Zhao Kuo: "It is impossible to farm here this year... The water accumulation here is too serious. I think there will be heavy rains here in the near future..."
He shook his head and said with emotion: "You said that building channels can be implemented, but building channels is a very labor-intensive matter and requires a lot of manpower and materials. If the king of Zhao can fully support it and use the resources of the two counties
For the common people, it can be completed within four years." Zhao Kuo frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "I heard that there is a person in South Korea who is good at building channels. I have sent someone to invite him. Maybe he has a way."
Zhan nodded.
The two of them continued to explore the surrounding disasters. Just as Zhao Kuo was taking Zhan Lai to conduct the survey, Di Huo rushed over in a hurry. He came on a fast horse and ran directly to Zhao Kuo regardless of the mud.
In front of him, his face was full of smiles. Ge glanced at him with disgust, and then said to Zhao Fu next to him: "He must have heard some news again."
"Young Master! General Lian Po is victorious!"
"Zheng Anping of Qin State surrendered!"
Di grinned and shouted. The surrounding disciples were a little surprised. How could General Lian Po have won the battle less than a few months ago? However, they did become happy after learning the news of Lian Po's victory.
Standing up, Di met everyone's gaze and talked about the battle seriously: "General Lian Po left a partial force to pretend to be the main force, deliberately defeated the Qin people, and lured the Qin people deeper, but he directly cut off the Qin people's retreat.
And they burned their food..."
"The Qin people were besieged on the hillside... unable to advance or retreat. General Lian Po defeated the Qin people in Anyang, and Zheng Anping surrendered!"
Di talked about the war as if he was telling a story. He said that Lian Po drove directly into the enemy's formation, grabbed Zheng Anping, and made Zheng Anping surrender. Zhao Kuo definitely didn't believe it. He believed what Di said.
The general context is fine, but the details are completely unbelievable and pure nonsense. However, Zhao Kuo listened carefully to Di's explanation, but felt that this style of play was a bit familiar... How does this look like something Bai Qi would do?
Today, the heroes and rulers of the world all learn from Ma Fujun's thoughts, but the conquerors all begin to imitate Bai Qi's fighting methods. Since Zhao Kuo seriously analyzed Bai Qi's tactics of war, and announced Bai Qi's mobile warfare and annihilation warfare.
After joining the crowd, there are more Bai Qi in the world. Although they may not be able to reach the level of the original Bai Qi, they can learn how to encircle a point for reinforcements and eliminate enemies during movements.
"What are the casualties on both sides?"
Zhao Kuo asked about the casualties when he opened his mouth.
"The Zhao army suffered few casualties, only losing more than 20,000 people. Many Qin people were killed and captured. I heard that General Lian Po was rushing to Handan with these prisoners, Zheng Anping..."
"Alas..." Zhao Kuo sighed and said no more. Di added: "Handan is very lively. It is said that the Lord is going to personally greet General Lian Po and Zheng Anping."
"There is more important news." Di grinned, looked at everyone, and said: "I heard that this Zheng Anping became the general of the Qin State because of Fan Ju's recommendation. Now that he has surrendered, this
It is a capital crime. According to the law of Qin, if the person who recommends makes a mistake, the person who recommended him will be guilty of the same crime!"
As he said, the Qin army's defeat in Zhao shocked the Qin people. They had not suffered such a disastrous defeat for a long time. What surprised them even more was that Zheng Anping actually surrendered! Surrendered shamelessly! This was
From the Qin people's point of view, this was undoubtedly the biggest crime. Bai Qi was the first to learn the news and knew about the Qin people's disastrous defeat in Zhao. His eyes were full of anger. He really didn't understand. With so many elites, how could he
How could it collapse so quickly?
Is this Zheng Anping someone who doesn’t understand military matters at all?
He had previously given orders to Zheng Anping, not to let him besiege Handan, nor to march without authorization, but to let Zheng Anping attack nearby cities and put pressure on Wei Wuji. It was a good thing, because Zheng Anping's rash advance actually put pressure on Wei Wuji.
Bai Qi brought a threat. If Lian Poruo sent troops again and directly captured Shangdang, and the four-nation coalition directly besieged the Qin people in South Korea, it would be a threat to the Qin people!!
At this time, Jingyang, who had been defeated many times, surrounded Chendu, leaving only a gap. Then he personally participated in the siege and launched a crazy attack on Chendu in the name of retaking the royal capital. Jingyang
With more than twenty casualties, he finally led his soldiers to attack the city wall. The Qin people were forced to retreat. After Jingyang recaptured Chendu from the Qin people, he quickly launched an attack on Chengyang, Shangcai and other places. Ru
The shore of the water fell into the hands of the Chu people again and again.
The situation gradually became unfavorable to Qin. After the Qin people retreated, they gathered in Dengcheng. The Qin army finally gathered in South Korea. The Chu army was in the southeast and the three Jin coalition forces were in the north. They formed an attack force against Qin from two general directions.
The power of human oppression.
Qin State, Xianyang
The King of Qin looked at Fan Ju in front of him. Fan Ju was sitting on his knees in front of the King of Qin, bending his body and maintaining the posture of bowing to the King of Qin. He came to apologize to the King of Qin. Fan Ju was originally sitting in the courtyard, studying the recently sent Ma Fujun
However, he never expected that the disciples rushed in in a hurry and told him the frightening news that Zheng Anping surrendered to Zhao.
The bamboo slips in Fan Ju's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he was speechless.
This was an unforeseen disaster for Fan Ju. Zheng Anping, who had rescued him and was recommended by him, surrendered so easily. It was even said that he killed tens of thousands of soldiers who followed him into Zhao. Fan Ju almost almost
Fainting and dazed for a moment, he came to the palace, knelt in front of the King of Qin, and begged the King of Qin to kill him. The King of Qin looked at Fan Ju's desperate face and sighed helplessly.
King Qin stood up, walked to his side, stretched out his hand, and helped him up with force.
"The most important thing at the moment is how to defeat the people of the various countries. Let's wait until the war is over to talk about these things." King Qin said. Fan Ju understood what King Qin meant and made meritorious deeds to defeat the four-nation coalition and eliminate this matter.
Affected, Fan Ju clenched his fists, but was speechless. The feeling of shame that had not appeared for a long time once again spread all over his body. At this moment, he seemed not to be in the palace, but in the kingdom of Wei.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Several people pushed him to the ground and beat him severely. No matter how he explained or begged for mercy, no one believed him or showed mercy to him. He was pushed into the shed, and some people defecated on him and spat on him. Fan Ju suddenly
He started retching, and right in front of King Qin, he covered his throat and retched painfully. King Qin was startled, and hurriedly reached out, grabbed his hands, and asked: "Uncle Fan? What's wrong with you?
Sample?"
Fan Ju woke up and looked at King Qin in front of him blankly.
"Uncle Fan...it doesn't matter, I will send someone to chop off Zheng Anping's head." King Qin said seriously.
Fan Ju shook his head and said: "The Qin State's continuous sitting method was set by the Shang Dynasty. I recommended Zheng Anping to be the general. He committed such a crime again. I must accept the same punishment. The Qin State
The country is governed by laws. If you don't punish me, the people of the country will criticize your behavior. This violates the system of Qin. This is wrong. Please punish me."
The King of Qin laughed and said: "I have heard that people who pay attention to high morals do not go along with the worldly prejudices, and people who have achieved great things do not discuss with the people of the country. If a wise man governs the country, if he can make the country rich and strong, he will
There is no need to follow the old laws. If it can benefit the people, there is no need to follow the old etiquette. If you are in Qin, this can make the country rich and powerful and is beneficial to the people. So what if you violate the system?
"
Fan Ju was silent for a moment, but King Qin asked seriously: "Can you tell me how to defeat the countries?"
Fan Ju's face finally lost the despair just now. He began to think quickly and replied: "The state of Chu has become chaotic because of those returning captives. Although Huang Xie banned the circulation of Mafu books and put all the
The sins have all been borne, but this does not stop anything. The Chu State is seriously short of food, and the people have no way to survive. The minister wants to send people into the Chu State, borrowing Huang Xie to oppose the peace negotiation, ignoring the people and other crimes... In
It will cause greater chaos in Chu."
"The people of Chu have also experienced training. They just lack weapons and a person to lead them..."
"The nobles of the Chu State hate Huang Xie. This can also be exploited. As long as we negotiate peace with these people in private, haha, we will see the infighting among the top leaders of the Chu State."
"And in the Wei State, if it weren't for Pingyuan Lord, the King of Wei would never have allowed Wei Wuji to lead the Wei army. I would try to find ways to further expand the hatred between the King of Wei and Wei Wuji, and make the King of Wei fear Pingyuan Lord.
Come to my heart... As long as the King of Wei does not listen to Lord Pingyuan's advice, the army of Wei will be destroyed without attacking. The King of Wei is not very talented, but he always likes to personally give orders and command the army..."
"The State of Zhao has nothing to do at the moment. The State of Zhao is gaining momentum. However, I have someone in the State of Zhao. He has been thinking of ways to cause chaos within the State of Wei and implement the plan of letting Ma Fujun enter Qin. I will give you
He wrote letters and asked him to desperately trigger the conflicts he had arranged..."
"As for South Korea...hahaha, I will write a letter to the King of Han right now."
Sure enough, Fan Ju quickly got out of his depression and quickly started his plan. King Qin also laughed and said: "Fortunately, you have made arrangements in various countries in advance, otherwise, Lord Wu An wants to defeat all the people."
It is not that easy to conquer the country..." This time, Fan Ju did not slander Bai Qi again. He said seriously: "Only Lord Wu An can face the alliance of the four countries so calmly and still have an advantage.
Come."
"If the state of Qin only had ministers, it would not be able to defeat other countries. All the ministers can do is assist Lord Wu'an to defeat the enemy for you."
King Qin laughed, held his hand, and said seriously: "I have Uncle Fan and Lord Wu An, so there is no one in the world that I can fear."
The two sat down again, and King Qin asked seriously: "How is the person who carried out your orders in Zhao State now?" Fan Ju smiled and said seriously: "He did a good job, he found him.
A fool who can be easily taken advantage of. I heard that he made this fool bear a lot of charges in vain. This fool is acting according to his plan. Wei Wuji, he will not be able to return to the Kingdom of Zhao."
"It's just that if he is allowed to carry out the plan now to force Ma Fujun to join Qin, it may be delayed for a while."
"Hahaha, it's okay, Mr. Mafu, sooner or later he will belong to me!"
"A monarch like Zhao Dan is not worthy!"
ps: It depends on who can connect what happened in Zhao State in the past few days based on this conversation.
